Chapter 940: Zhuge Liang's Thoughts

Zhuge Liang held the iconic feather fan in his hand, shook it gently, lying on the huge map, while chanting words in his mouth, and pinching his fingers in his hand from time to time to calculate.

Ma Jian and Jiang Wei stood behind him, quietly waiting for the prime minister's decision. When they saw that the prime minister's feather fan was pointing at Chai Sangkou, the two of them glanced at each other and showed a relieved smile, finally facing Lu Meng, Guan Yu's biggest enemy.

In the big battle just now, it was Lu Su who was right, Zhuge Liang, a treacherous person, was against the loyal Lu Su, so Lu Su could only be defeated.

Zhuge Liang was responsible for attacking Sun Quan's Jianye and Chaisang, so he sent his two right-hand men, Ma Tan and Jiang Wei, to surround but not fight LΓΌ Meng in Chaisangkou, and to take care of the honest Lu Su.

Zhuge Liang took out a beautiful way to play with fire, and took Wuban Chen Dao's sailors to lure Lu Su's sailors into Poyang Lake on the Yangtze River, and then a fire burned Lu Su's entire Jiangdong Navy to ashes, and Lu Su also died in this battle.

After Zhuge Liang solved an enemy, he did not attack Jianye City, which was no longer protected by the water division, but attacked Chaisang with all his might, because he knew deeply that Jingzhou was what he wanted most, and only by taking Jingzhou justifiably before Lu Peng entered Jingzhou could he strengthen the strength of his side, and taking Jianye and destroying Dongwu was just a slogan, and once he took Jianye and destroyed Dongwu, he had to directly face Cao Pi, who was already cornered.

Although Cao Pi's forces are relatively weak, but the dog jumps over the wall, his more than 3 million subordinates will definitely resist desperately, and their losses will be huge at that time, so while maximizing benefits, try to avoid counterattacks when they are rejected, which is the most correct strategy for themselves.

Now that the sailors of Soochow have been completely annihilated by themselves, there are no worries, and it is imperative to resolutely take Chaisang.

So Zhuge Liang attacked Chaisang with all his strength and opened the way to Jingzhou.

Lu Meng held the heart of stubbornness, and learned the lesson of Lu Su's defeat, no matter how Zhuge Liang coerced and seduced, and how he schemed, I will respond to all changes with the same, and form a group to see what you can do to me.

In the face of Lu Meng, who was shrinking in Chaisang, Zhuge Liang was really at a loss, so he could only move the land and water army together, and the 100,000 army attacked the city day and night.

But Lu Meng also has 100,000 horses in his hands, although the Jiangnan people are weak, but under the same number of men and horses, relying on the high walls and deep trenches, they have exerted the unique resilience of the Jiangnan people, and strictly defended Zhuge Liang's attack.

And Chaisang also has a good place, that is, he can't be trapped by the enemy, because the whole river is a huge opening, and there are ships at any time to transport the military supplies needed in the city to supplement the needs of the city. In this way, Zhuge Liang had to mobilize the entire naval army here to participate in the attack on Chaisang, so that the national capital Jianye would no longer be in danger.

In the face of this stubborn situation, Zhuge Liang also felt helpless, but things have been forced here, and Zhuge Liang didn't have much worry about Lu Xun's blocking of his lord Liu Bei.

Although Lu Xun once crossed the river in white clothes and seized Jingzhou with a strange scheme, Zhuge Liang knew that the reasons for Jingzhou's loss were multiple, and the most important thing was Guan Yu's pride. This kind of pride has made Jingzhou have turned away from Guan Yu, which is the fundamental reason why almost all the states and counties fell to the wind when Dongwu occupied Jingzhou. Those who win the hearts of the people (here refers to the hearts of officials and scholars) win the world, Guan Yu just forgot this. Therefore, the loss of Jingzhou should be attributed to Guan Yu's mistake in seventy percent, and it is not Lu Xun's ability.

Don't criticize the sacrificed, this is not kind, what Zhuge Liang is most worried about is Lu Peng, who went out of Shuchuan in the west, and the attack on Yiling is even closer, everyone is rushing for time to see who eats this piece of fat in Jingzhou at the fastest speed.

It's like at the beginning, the two families seized Yizhou together, but the result was that they were half a step slower, and finally regretted it for life, this time, no matter what, Jingzhou can no longer be lost.

"Young, Boyo, now that the battle has reached this point, you see, how will we proceed in the battle of Chaisang?" After Zhuge Liang watched it for a long time, he already had a plan in his heart, so he stood up and asked the two young and promising generals lightly.

Ma Jian and Jiang Wei glanced at each other, knowing that this was another military advisor who was testing the two of them.

Ma Jian is an old man, Jiang Wei is a later, he is a native of Tianshui, because his father Jiang Jian died in battle, Jiang Wei was appointed as Zhonglang by the county, but when Lu Peng occupied Xiliang, Jiang Wei thought that Lu Peng was not orthodox, he still had a big heart, so he lost his official position and defected to Liu Bei, and won the trust and love of Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang had the intention of handing over his military power to one of the two of them in the future, so he took it with him and trained him carefully.

Ma Jian has a witty and capable personality, Jiang Wei is calm and loyal, and has its own merits, but it is difficult for Zhuge Liang to make a decision for a while, so he can only constantly observe the two people in the examination, hoping to choose the best one.

Of course, the two people knew Zhuge Liang's purpose, and they often compared each other in their hearts, but fortunately, the hearts of the two people were very positive, and they were just motivated to compare with each other, but they did not tear each other down.

Seeing the prime minister asking again, the two of them gave in to each other, Jiang Wei was older than Ma Yan, and after being humble, Jiang Wei started first.

Jiang Wei also leaned over the map, and after carefully observing for a while, he sorted out his thoughts: "Zhou Yu was stationed in Chaisang, and constantly strengthened and repaired here, and the water village is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now Lu Meng has 70,000 army and 30,000 water divisions, this strength must not be underestimated, especially his water division, Lu Xun has quietly trained in Poyang Lake for many years, and the strength is not inferior to Lu Su at that time, and it is more than that, Lu Meng has the 70,000 army in charge, most of which are the elite in Jingzhou, The combat effectiveness is also quite remarkable, and when we are equal to his strength, we cannot do anything to him in a hurry. ”

This is Jiang Wei's calmness, this is Jiang Wei's control of the entire enemy, at this point, Zhuge Liang nodded with great satisfaction, he was able to find out the advantages of the opponent, and he knew himself and the enemy, who said that he could not win for a while, but he would definitely not lose. This is very in line with Zhuge Liang's character, and he is cautious.

"But the enemy is also weak, and we can take advantage of it, and although it will take a little longer, we will still be able to win in the end."

Zhuge Liang smiled and encouraged him: "Tell me, what method can you use to win in the end?" ”
