Chapter 892: The Contest Between You and Me
Zhou Yu was already starting from Jiangxia at this time with the people.
Now Gan Ning and Tai Shici are not in Xiangyang, so this time is the best opportunity to deal with Zhuge Liang.
However, Zhou Yu also understood in his heart that Zhuge Liang was guarding Xiangyang, and it would be impossible for them to take Xiangyang if they only relied on Huang Gai and Zhou Tai.
If Zhuge Liang can be won by just relying on Huang Gai and Zhou Tai, then Zhuge Liang will not give himself a headache.
Not to mention letting yourself treat Zhuge Liang as an opponent and a big enemy.
"Metropolitan Governor, General Huang Gai's reply has arrived."
When Zhou Yu's army was marching, a messenger came galloping on a fast horse, bringing up a cloud of dust.
When he arrived in front of Zhou Yu, he immediately turned over and dismounted and saluted.
"Bring it." Zhou Yu said lightly, he was not surprised by the time when this letter came.
His letter should have arrived in Huang Gai's hands two days ago.
I was marching for the past two days, so Huang Gai's letter was sent and I happened to receive it at this time.
"The Metropolitan Governor is above, and everything has been done according to the instructions of the Metropolitan Governor."
A simple sentence, Zhou Yu nodded with a smile and satisfaction after reading it.
"The army quickens its march." Zhou Yu then immediately ordered.
Now that Zhou Tai and Huang Gai are all ready, it is easy for Zhuge Liang to notice if they don't hurry up.
The truth of the speed of the soldiers is not something to be said casually, and now at this time, the soldiers are needed to be fast.
……
In Xiangyang City, Zhuge Liang was sitting in the hall at this time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhuge Liang looked at the map in front of him from time to time, and raised his head from time to time to look ahead.
In the past two days, Zhou Tai and Huang Gai didn't even make any moves.
Of course, Zhuge Liang understands the personalities of Zhou Tai and Huang Gai.
As a veteran of Jiangdong, Huang Gai acted steadily and sophisticatedly, and he would not be surprised if Huang Gai could hold back.
But Zhou Tai is different, Zhou Tai's personality is much more impulsive than Huang Gai.
If Zhou Tai was not such an impulsive character, then he would not be provoked by himself every time.
So this time, Lian Zhoutai was teased by himself last time, but he didn't make any moves after suffering such a loss.
This is enough to illustrate a question, can Huang Gai convince Zhou Tai?
Obviously, Zhuge Liang felt that this was impossible, if Huang Gai could convince Zhou Tai, then the previous scene would not have appeared.
The person who can convince Zhou Tai, or the person who can force Zhou Tai to obey the order, is currently in the army of Jiangdong.
In Jiangxia's Renmali, there is only one person.
That's Zhou Yu.
This means that Zhou Yu has also begun to act, so what Zhuge Liang is thinking about now is what he would do if he was Zhou Yu.
How to do it, in order to be able to reverse the current situation, to be able to take Xiangyang, or to take Fancheng.
More directly, it's how to take yourself down.
In the end, Zhuge Liang looked at the map of Jingzhou and sighed, he still knew a little bit of information now.
Now he is in the light, Zhou Yu is in the dark, and the initiative is more in Zhou Yu's hands.
"Pass the order, closely watch the enemy's every move, and strengthen the defense of Xiangyang."
Zhuge Liang looked at the people around him and instructed him to pass on the order.
"Yes, Strategist." The man answered, and immediately left.
Now it can only be changed with the same.
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said.
Now he can only defend the land of Xiangfan, so his limitations are too small.
After sighing in his heart, Zhuge Liang then studied the map of Jingzhou again.
The starry sky at night is particularly dazzling today, but Liu Wei is not happy when he looks at the starry sky.
The current situation is not in his favor, how can he be happy.
It is a little difficult for Changshe and Zhaoling to outwit it, so they can only fight hard, and now for Cao Jun, no matter where they occupy, it is a victory.
He could use these places as bait, and he had to take the bait himself.
So he has no other way but to directly ask Sima Yi and Cao Cao to give up this Changshe and Zhaoling.
"Fengxiao, are you sure you won't go to Changsha with me this time?"
Under the twinkling starry sky at night, Liu Wei looked at Guo Jia and asked.
If this Changshe and Zhaoling are to be taken, at least troops can be sent to block the route of Cao's army from Changshe and Zhaoling.
As long as the crisis between Changshe and Zhaoling is not resolved, and he wants to take them back, Cao Jun will definitely hold these two places.
Unless Cao Jun plans to give up the two places, in this case, it will be regarded as his own victory.
"Feng Xiao will accompany His Majesty this time, and I believe that His Majesty's leading army will be enough to deal with it."
Guo Jia looked at Liu Wei and said, he had already thought about it, even if his idea was wrong.
Then, with Liu Wei's ability, even if he can't counterattack Changshe and Zhaoling, it is not a big problem to hold on.
But if your idea is right, then once you follow you to the long company, then the situation will become more passive.
"In that case, then I will personally lead the army tomorrow." After listening to Guo Jia's words, Liu Wei nodded and spoke.
Liu Wei believes that Guo Jia will definitely have his goal in doing this.
"Well, Your Majesty is careful in everything, even if you can't recapture the two places, but you just need to hold it."
Guo Jia looked at Liu Wei and nodded.
The next day, Liu Wei led Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, Chen Dao, and an army of 10,000 to Changshe.
Originally, Liu Wei planned to let Chen Zhi and Guan Yu stay together to wait for Guo Jia's dispatch.
However, Chen Zhi has to go no matter what, hoping to avenge his shame with his own hands.
So Liu Wei agreed to Chen to go forward, and then left Dian Wei here.
Liu Wei led the people and horses towards the direction of Changshe, and 10,000 people walked on the official road, with dense flags and endless waves, just like a long dragon that twisted and turned.
The scorching sun shone on their armor and sent out bursts of cold light, like scales.
"Is it really okay if the military advisor doesn't accompany His Majesty this time?"
At the head of Xuchang City, Xun You looked at Guo Jia and said.
This time he felt that Guo Jia was a little different, he did not choose to go on the expedition with Liu Wei, and Guo Jia did not say the specific reason.
Even though he originally wanted to go with Liu Wei, Guo Jia did not agree.
Guo Jia's reason is that this Xuchang still needs him.
In the end, Liu Wei and he both chose to believe in Guo Jia, or rather, this is not a choice to believe.
It's that they all believe unconditionally, but believing is believing, but the doubts and worries in their hearts are not less.
"Your Majesty, since the beginning of Luoyang, when I haven't come down the mountain, hasn't Your Majesty also overcome obstacles and come out?"
Guo Jia looked at Xun You and said with a smile, of course he knew Xun You's worries.
However, there are some things that I can't say so early, not because I like to sell off and like to show off.
It's that some things are said early and late, and that really has different effects.
And this time, even I wasn't 100% sure, and I could even say that I just had this idea all of a sudden.
Liu Wei led the army, although he was puzzled, but he also kept moving forward, and soon arrived at Changshe after a two-day march.
In order to avoid Chen Dao's mistakes before, Liu Wei did not rush to attack Changshe and Zhaoling.
Now that it's this time, Changshe and Zhaoling must have arrived with reinforcements.
Even if you want to take it by surprise, you can't take advantage of the night attack.
Liu Wei believed that Sima Yi actually chose Changshe and Zhaoling to take them, so he knew the importance of the two geographical positions of Changshe and Zhaoling.
Since he knew the importance, he could count that he would not just give up.
At night, the army set up camp thirty miles away from the Changshe, and in order to avoid being attacked, Liu Wei also arranged for many people to patrol.
Not only that, but the entrance to the camp was also placed, and the antlers were used to prevent the cavalry from attacking and slow down their power.
"How, have you found out? Who is the Han army coming this time? ”
In the city, Cao Cao looked at the spy and asked.
"Report to the lord, it is His Majesty who came in person."
"Then Guo Jiake was with the army?"
"Back to the lord, I haven't seen it." The spy replied truthfully.
Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, Your Majesty, it seems that this is a contest between you and me.
Without Guo Jia, just try your majesty's ability.
