Chapter 720 makes waves again
"General Xiang should understand the current situation and the strength of both sides." Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.
"Xiang Liang understands!" Xiang Liang nodded.
"In that case, why is General Xiang reluctant to leave?" Fang Xuanling continued to ask.
"Sir, you should know that my Xiang family has been away from my hometown for too long, so long that my ancestors have died in a foreign land for generations, and now that I have returned to my hometown, sir, do you think I will leave so easily?" Xiang Liang sighed.
"Alas, I can understand General Xiang's feelings, but how can the war be rash, it is not easy for our army to develop to this point, General Xiang must remember not to be rash and let all efforts go to waste." Fang Xuanling persuaded him.
"Is it really impossible?"
Xiang Liang asked with difficulty,
"Regardless of whether our army intends to attack Cao Cao or not, but the position of our army is destined that Cao Cao will definitely not be able to accommodate our army."
"Our army is like a grain of rice trapped between Cao Cao's teeth, even if our army can't cause harm to him, it can't stop his determination to get rid of our army, because our army makes him uncomfortable."
Fang Xuanling understood what Xiang Liang meant, so he spoke righteously and used other things as examples to tell Xiang Liang that Cao Cao couldn't tolerate them in Huiji.
"Then Mr. thinks that after our army withdraws from Huiji, Cao Cao will not send troops to our army?" Xiang Liang asked unhappily, Xiang Liang's tone sounded like he was angry.
"Of course not!" Fang Xuanling replied categorically.
"Why?"
"Our army now has more than 100,000 elite soldiers, but it occupies a county in Yangzhou, a county in Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou, and the troops in Jiaozhou are scattered, but if they withdraw from Huiji, then the strength of our army will be concentrated in an instant, although the army of more than 100,000 is still not Cao Cao's opponent, but it will never be easily defeated, and more importantly, Cao Cao will not dare to fight again."
Fang Xuanling explained calmly.
"Liu Wei did put pressure on Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao did not dare to move troops without authorization and did not dare to entangle, but if Jingzhou helped, Jingzhou and Cao Cao's troops could reach five or six hundred thousand, and our army could not stop it at all, and the battle could be resolved in a short time."
"In this way, not only will Liu Wei have no chance to take advantage of it, but also get rid of the big trouble of my Xiang family, so that they can avoid their worries in the future war." Xiang Liang retorted.
"General Xiang forgot, Liu Bei fought with the lord, lost tens of thousands of troops, Zhuge Liang fought with Yizhou, although he repelled Yizhou's soldiers and horses, but the same loss was not small, how to fight Jingzhou's strength was greatly reduced."
"What's more important is that Liu Bei lost the war, and he recuperated at home in desperation, plus the lord of Jingzhou was Liu Qi, Liu Qi was weak, how could he dare to fight, just with the strength of Cao Cao's family, how could he pursue our army at such a time."
Fang Xuanling continued to explain, hoping to convince Xiang Liang.
"I originally planned to withdraw my troops in five days, but the past few days have made me change my mind, and I want to fight Cao Cao." Xiang Liang said firmly.
"Alas!"
Fang Xuanling sighed helplessly, he didn't expect that he still didn't convince Xiang Liang after so many words.
"As the descendant of the Xiang clan and the descendant of the overlord of Chu, Xiang Liangyan has a reason to flee without a fight." Xiang Liang said solemnly,
According to the original Xiang Liang's character, Xiang Liang should have retired, but there is no way, now Xiang Liang is not Xiang Ji's uncle but Xiang Ji's descendant, and his character has been infected by Xiang Ji.
Coupled with the special nature of Huiji County, his obsession with staying and fighting in the last game is even stronger.
"Sir, I would like to move the people of Jiji into Jiaozhou, I don't know what Mr. thinks?"
Speaking again, Xiang Liang lowered his posture, as if he intended to apologize to Fang Xuanling.
"In recent years, tens of thousands of people from Huiji have entered the territory of Jiaozhou, and the general wants to move in large numbers this time, which is feasible, but he can still only move the people close to Jiaozhou, otherwise it will only harm the people and the army."
Fang Xuanling thought for a moment, and then replied.
"Then I don't know if this matter can be handed over to Mr. and Zhuang'er?" Xiang Liang asked.
"Good!"
"There's Mr. Law!"
……
Jingzhou,
"No, absolutely not!"
Liu Qi said angrily,
"Childe, the benefits of this matter outweigh the disadvantages, it's completely feasible!" Zhuge Liang persuaded him,
"My Jingzhou has already lost my troops and lost my vitality, and I went to fight with Xiang Yu, does Mr. want Jingzhou to be ruined?" Liu Qi questioned Zhuge Liang.
"Childe, this time is different, in addition to my army in Jingzhou, there is also Cao Cao, the two sides are united, left and right, hundreds of thousands of troops, that Xiang clan will definitely not be able to stop it." Zhuge Liang continued to persuade.
"Hmph, it was easy to say that the last battle of Guiyang, twice the troops, you also swore by it, but as a result, the loss of troops was lost, and less than half of the more than 100,000 army remained, and the entire Jingzhou army was afraid when Xiang Yu was mentioned now, and if you go to fight again, you will only lose even worse."
Liu Qi said angrily, Zhuge Liang was speechless when Liu Qi said a paragraph, who told them to lose the battle, how could he refute it.
"Childe, this time is different, this time our army is not the main force, Cao Cao is the main force, and if you don't get rid of the Xiang family, it will only be unfavorable to my Jingzhou in the future." Zhuge Liang had no choice but to continue to persuade.
"What's the difference, the opponent is still Xiang Yu, there is indeed a difference, that is, the morale of our army is low, and the morale of the opposite side is high."
Liu Qi didn't think much about it, and directly refuted Zhuge Liang.
"Childe, there must be a battle between Liu Wei and my Jingzhou, Jingzhou's strength is not as good as Liu Wei, Gongzi should know that if there is a big war in such a situation, it will be unfavorable to my Jingzhou, if the Xiang clan is interfering against my Jingzhou at this time, how can Jingzhou be able to stop it, and it is imperative to get rid of the Xiang clan."
Zhuge Liang spoke again, Zhuge Liang couldn't be clearer about Liu Qi's thoughts, he knew the reason why Liu Qi was reluctant to send troops, but he had to persuade him, because the opportunity was rare.
"Since you can't fight, why fight, and you forgot one thing, if Jingzhou does its best to attack the Xiang family, what will happen to the enemy of Yizhou, and Zhang Xiu of Nanyang is already ready to move, will he let go of this opportunity?"
When a person wants to reject you, he will always tap his potential, see the unusual aspects, come up with unusual strategies, and say unusual words, which is exactly what Liu Qi is like at this time.
Because ordinary Liu Qi would never think so much and see it so thoroughly.
"Childe!"
Zhuge Liang felt desperate for the first time, and the person who made him desperate was someone he didn't pay attention to.
"You don't have to say it anymore, a certain will never send troops, for the sake of Jingzhou, for the people, for the soldiers, will never send troops."
Liu Qi said righteously.
"Zhuge Liang retires!"
In desperation, Zhuge Liang could only retreat, this scene Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue brothers all saw it, and the two of them didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Zhuge Liang left Liu Qi's mansion with resentment and went to Liu Bei.
"Kong Ming, why is there such a big resentment?" Looking at the angry Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was puzzled.
"Alas, Cao Cao invited the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou to deal with the Xiang clan with him and eliminate the Xiang clan in one fell swoop, but was rejected by Liu Qi's son." Zhuge Liang sighed.
"If it weren't for Kong Ming's persuasion, he wouldn't listen." Liu Bei was puzzled.
"Not only did he not listen, but he was speechless, and he never thought that Liu Qi would be so alert." Zhuge Liang sighed.
"Kong Ming came to me, didn't he want someone to come forward to persuade him?" Liu Bei asked tentatively.
"That's not the case, Liu Qi has made up his mind, and it is beyond the persuasion of others, not to mention how inconvenient it is for the lord to come forward." Zhuge Liang replied.
"Could it be that Kong Ming is here to vent his grievances?" Liu Bei guessed.
"The lord laughed, how dare Liang vent his grievances to the lord." Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly.
"Liang hopes that the lord will act early and make dangerous moves." Zhuge Liang said solemnly.
"No!"
Liu Bei categorically rejected Zhuge Liang's proposal.
"Lord, you know that you are benevolent and righteous, and you value love and righteousness, but the stakes are very high, you should give up some things, and you must know that those who achieve great things are not informal." Zhuge Liang persuaded him.
"Kong Ming doesn't need to persuade him anymore, Liu Bei will never do this." Liu Bei still refused.
"Lord!"
Zhuge Liang was helpless,
"Kong Ming won't keep you, you go first!"
Liu Bei turned around and walked towards the room,
