Liu Guanzhang, Xu Shu, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Wen Ping and others were very interested in Zhuge Liang's tactics.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said to everyone: "We will divide our troops into pieces and hide them in various villages in the Xiangyang Plain, and suddenly gather and scatter to harass Yuan Tan's rear. ”

The crowd pondered.

You must know that Xiangyang has a large population, especially the fertile land of the Xiangyang Great Plain, so it nurtures many villages.

The population of a fertile village is large, and the smallest village has a population of 1,000 people.

Xu Shu frowned and said, "Kong Ming, wouldn't this be broken by the enemy one by one?" ”

Zhuge Liang had a look that I had already considered, and said, "I have a strategy, not afraid of Yuan Tan." ”

"What's the strategy?" Liu Bei asked with his big ears.

"Dig a tunnel." Zhuge Liang said calmly.

Digging tunnels?

？？？ All.

As a result, Zhuge Liang took full command of the Battle of Xiangyang, and he immediately mobilized 50,000 soldiers into various villages. He also migrated the people of the village to the interior, so as not to be robbed of the precious population by Yuan Tan.

…………

The next day, a village called Gaojiazhuang was the headquarters that Zhuge Liang chose for himself.

A thousand elite soldiers looked at Zhuge Liang, and they were still very excited if they could follow the general army division to fight.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, "Soldiers, then let's start digging tunnels." It will be the place where we hide when the enemy is looking for us, and the entrance to the cave must be hidden. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "We have to brainstorm, for example, this big tree with tree holes, we can completely hollow out the inside and connect the underground as an entrance." ”

"You can say what you think."

Less.

Zhuge Liang was in a cowshed, looking at a soldier with satisfaction, "Do you have a very good idea as a soldier, who would have thought that there were people hidden under the manger." Reward! ”

The rewarded soldiers were ecstatic.

That's a good idea, huh?

Immediately, a soldier stepped forward, "Strategist, then I also have an idea." ”

Zhuge Liang immediately looked at him with encouraging eyes, "Then say it, don't be afraid, it's okay to say it wrong." ”

The soldier immediately exclaimed, "How about we dig a tunnel under the fire?" With a pot on top, how could the enemy possibly think of it? ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes immediately lit up, "I have to say, you little ghost is very witty, reward~." ”

So the soldiers were stimulated, and all kinds of ideas came up one after another. He also said that he would dig a tunnel in the well, and some said that he could ...... under the grain pile.

Zhuge Liang listened to these suggestions, looked at the general Huang Zhong with him, and said with a straight face: "Old General Huang, you have seen it, don't underestimate the wisdom of ordinary people." ”

Huang Zhong looked at Zhuge Liang with great admiration, and appreciated Zhuge Liang's indomitable spirit. I have to say that this tactic of the military division is really wonderful.

So, an army of 50,000 dug tunnels in dozens of villages.

However, the size of the 50,000 army is too large, and if the 50,000 army gathers, it will be difficult to disperse immediately.

Zhuge Liang personally planned several combat areas.

Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, Liu Pi, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and others were the main generals, and mobilized village troops to fight within the combat radius. Immediately after the battle, return to the village and hide.

On the other hand.

Yuan Tan led an army of 200,000 to the west of Xiangyang City, thirty miles west, and chose the high place of the undulating plain to set up camp, in order to occupy the advantage of the terrain as much as possible on the endless plain.

On this day, Yuan Tan convened the military advisers to negotiate the attack on Xiangyang.

After all, Xiangyang is one of the few heroic cities in the world, and if there is no effective way to attack such a big city, there will be great casualties.

You must know that although Yuan Tan sits on two-thirds of the world, there is a small overlord Sun Ce in the south of the Yangtze River, and Cao Cao in Chang'an is waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

During the discussion, Pang Tong looked eager to try, "Lord, our army's logistics reserves are sufficient, why don't you cut off the connection between Xiangyang and other places." Be prepared for a long siege while you can destroy the enemy who comes to the rescue. ”

"Reinforcements? That's a good idea. Yuan Tan praised.

Jia Xu and the others admired Pang Tong's strategy very much, but when they heard Yuan Tan's more appropriate summary, they outlined Pang Tong's overall plan in just four words, and they were even more respectful.

So Yuan Tan planned to use Pang Tong's strategy.

"Report ......."

At this time, a messenger came, "Lord! The big thing was bad, the grain convoy of our army was ambushed. There were tens of thousands of enemies, and General Zhang He asked for reinforcements. ”

？？？ Yuan Tan et al.

Yuan Tan and they are full of question marks, because the grain transportation team is protected by thousands of soldiers and horses, and now that the enemy has all shrunk, where is the absolute power to rob the grain?

But Yuan Tan didn't care about studying it carefully, "Immediately let Yan Liang bring five thousand cavalry to support." ”

Half an hour later.

Yuan Tan, who was anxiously waiting, waited for Yan Liang and Zhang He.

"My lord, the enemy is gone." Yan Liang hung his head and said. He had said that he would annihilate these hateful enemies, but by the time his cavalry arrived, they were gone.

"My lord, I have lost more than half of the grain and grass I escorted this time, and I have also lost 3,000 troops." Zhang Heshuang beat the eggplant like that, "Please punish the lord." ”

Yuan Tan did not punish Zhang He, you must know that since the enemy dared to attack, he must have made a plan.

"What about Wang Zhao? Get out of here! ”

Yuan Tan said angrily.

"Lord, I'm here ......." Wang Zhao ran out of the corner.

Yuan Tan howled, "What do your horse exploration troops do for food?" What about the enemy? ”

Jia Xu and they all looked at Wang Zhao, after all, Wang Zhao's horse exploration unit is the best horse exploration in the world, and all the elite ones are like agents, and they ride the best war horses.

At this moment, there is no enemy to be found in this endless open plain.

If there are 180 enemies, it will be counted, but it is an enemy of tens of thousands of people, and they can't find it, so why do you want to explore the horses?

Wang Zhao knelt down, with a look even more aggrieved than Dou E, "Lord, my people have searched for dozens of miles, and every grass and forest has been explored, and they really can't find it, it's like disappearing out of thin air." ”

When everyone saw Wang Zhao like this, it seemed that he tried his best, but he just couldn't find it.

Yuan Tan was not a tyrannical prince, and after scolding Wang Zhao, he asked him to double down on the horses sent to investigate.

Day 2.

"Report, my lord, our landing force was attacked by the enemy, and then the enemy disappeared."

"Have you found where the enemy is hiding?"

"Nope."

“……。”

Day 3.

"Report ......, Lord, our army's No. 9 battalion in the rear was bloodied by the enemy, and then the enemy disappeared."

"Have you found the enemy?"

"Nope."

"Made!" Yuan Tan grabbed his helmet and slammed it on the ground.

It seems that the enemy is too elusive and has been doing things in Yuan Tan's rear, which makes Yuan Tan make no progress in attacking Xiangyang.
