There is a saying: the name of a man, the shadow of a tree. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason why Zhuge Song suddenly frowned was because Wu Jiang, who had now been cut off by him but didn't know that he was at a loss, would be Lu Xun!

At this time, Lu Xun had just made a little merit in Eastern Wu because of his suppression of bandits in the southeast, not to mention Liu Beifang's general, that is, the respect for Lu Xun within Eastern Wu had always been on the face of his late Wu lord Sun Ce's son-in-law. The reason why Lu Meng was willing to let Lu Xun lead the troops to occupy the Yiling area was that on the one hand, it was true that what Lu Xun said had a certain truth, but there were many reasonable people in the Wu State, but the opportunities were always limited, and it was possible for the superiors to adopt it, largely because Lu Meng saw Lu Xun's in-law relationship in the Wu family, so he gave Lu Xun the opportunity to lead the army alone this time to harvest this time, and the benefits far outweighed the risks.

So for such a Wu general, if it was Guan Yu or any of Liu Beifang's generals, now in Zhuge Song's position, he would definitely immediately lead his troops to Bao Lu Xun's dumplings. But Zhuge Song knew that it couldn't be done.

Speaking of why it didn't work, let's first talk about what happened after Zhuge Song handed over the heavy responsibility of facing Pang De to Guan Ping in Tuanshan Town.

After Zhuge Song came out of Tuanshan Town, he rode a horse and took a shortcut to Benmaicheng to find Zheng Liang, and when the sneak attack of Eastern Wu was likely to be completed, he came to check the specific situation of Zheng Liang's execution of his previous orders.

Of course, Zhuge Song also considered whether to go to Xiangyang first to tell Ma Liang to persuade Guan Yu not to recapture Jiangling after returning to Xiangyang, but to rely on the big city of Xiangyang to wait for help, and wait for Liu Bei to come to the rescue from Hanzhong through Shangyong when he heard the news. But thinking of Guan Yu's arrogant character, Zhuge Song still decisively saved his time and went to Maicheng first.

Because Zhuge Song knew that Guan Yu was a face-saving person, Liu Bei entrusted Jingzhou to Guan Yu, if Guan Yu could follow the advice to defend Xiangyang, then even if he finally defended it, he would definitely have no face to see Liu Bei who came to help. In this case, spending one more day to see Ma Liang in Xiangyang is equivalent to wasting a day of Zhuge Song's own self-help planning, so in the end, Zhuge Song still arrived in Maicheng as fast as he could.

When Zhuge Song arrived in Maicheng, Maicheng had not received the news that the Wu army had attacked Jiangling, and the order inside and outside the city was no different from that of normal days, and the small merchants and hawkers and civilians who went out of the city to work were still in and out as before.

It wasn't until Zhuge Song saw Zheng Liang and visited the tunnel that Zheng Liang had already begun to dig secretly, in the dim tunnel illuminated by torches, he found a room for Zheng Liang to temporarily rest when he usually commanded the excavation of the tunnel, and retreated from everyone, and when there were only two people, he unfolded the map he carried with him, and told Zheng Liang about his next plan.

How Zhuge Song persuaded Zheng Liang to believe that the fact that the public security and Jiangling had fallen does not need to be detailed, just say that it was only after Zhuge Song pointed to Yidao City on the map and tapped it twice with his index finger and middle finger that Zheng Liang seemed to suddenly realize something, and said to Zhuge Song with a bitter face: "My lord, do you want to leave me here alone and wait for General Guan to come!" ”

Zhuge Song nodded: "I haven't rested much all the way from Fancheng to here, the matter is urgent, I will only rest at your place for one night tonight, and I will rush to Yidao immediately tomorrow morning." Although I would also like to have you as a tiger general in the battle over there, firstly, no one is more familiar with the structure of the tunnels here than you, and it is up to you to keep General Guan from dying when the time comes, and secondly, although Shamoke over there is not good at brains, but I should be able to use it, so I have to keep you here. ”

"But I don't know General Guan either, I came to give the order this time, and I was also sent here by you to go for me, I heard that General Guan is very difficult to serve, if he really loses Maicheng according to what you said, I will let him drill the tunnel again, I am afraid that I will be cut down directly!" Zheng Liang said with a sad face.

"Yes." Zhuge Song listened to what Zheng Liang said and thought in his heart: "This is indeed my negligence, the reason why Guan Yu was defeated and captured in the first place was that he was still counting on Shangyong Liu Feng to help, if he immediately gave up Maicheng and retreated to Shangyong, judging from the fact that Liao Hua could rush to Shangyong to report the news, he could withdraw directly." was captured because he had been surrounded by the Wu army, and after holding out for a period of time without seeing reinforcements, he was forced to break through, and it was naturally too late at that time. This tunnel is dug by no more than a few miles, I just left Zheng Liang here, people are soft-spoken, and when Guan Yu has to see that the rescuers are hopeless and then leave, only with these few miles of tunnels, it will be difficult to ensure his safety at that time! ”

Thinking of this, Zhuge Song sighed, used the other end of the pen as a pen, drew a simple design on the sandy soil and said to Zheng Liang: "Even if General Guan refused to retreat to Shangyong at that time, he would definitely take this tunnel in an emergency." It's just that the length of this tunnel is limited, and I'm afraid that when I get out of the tunnel, I won't be able to escape the ambush of the Wu army. After that, he explained while drawing, and Zheng Liang nodded again and again, and in the end, although he still had a bitter face, he still received his life.

The next thing is for the two to discuss Zhuge Song's actions after going to Yidao City, according to Zhuge Song's concept, Lü Mengyin should mainly defend Jiangling, and the army sent to the Yiling area to seal the mouth of the river will not be too many, about three to five thousand people. Although the barbarian soldiers have no courage, once Zhuge Song himself takes over the command and blocks the news, it should not be a problem to clean up the Wu army under Yidu City first, which will first hold the passage for Liu Bei to attack Jiangling from Shuzhong, and pave the way for future counterattacks.

As for the next step after stabilizing the Yiling area, Zhuge Song said to Zheng Liang: "After cleaning up the Wu army in the Yiling area, I will withdraw all my troops to Yidu to hold on, while waiting for reinforcements from Shuzhong, while sending people to inquire about the news of Maicheng, once I know that General Guan retreated into Maicheng and was surrounded by Wu troops, I will lead the army to rescue, it doesn't matter if the city can be saved, as long as General Guan and you are rescued, and then immediately return to Yidu, for me the whole plan is half the success." ”

"Then what if General Guan takes a fancy to your combat power after getting out of trouble, and does not agree to retreat, Yidu has to try to attack Jiangling again?" Zheng Liang said a question that was more in line with Guan Yu's character.

To this, Zhuge Song replied like this at the time: "That's impossible, the barbarians are not under his control, as long as I agree with Shamoke, even if he is still nominally the commander of the Jingzhou region, what to do, then he can only listen to me first!" ”

Now Zhuge Song has entered Yidao City to join Shamoke, and originally planned to leave only more than 1,000 people to defend here, and the rest of Zhuge Song, who went to Yidu City to exterminate the Wu army, had to doubt his previous plan.

Yes, it's skepticism rather than concern. The concern may just be difficult, but eventually it will be implemented. But skepticism already represents the possibility that the original plan may be cancelled.

After a day and a night of repeated thinking, because of the existence of Lu Xun and his letter to Lü Meng requesting siege weapons, Zhuge Song decided to overturn his original relatively conservative plan, after all, Liu Bei's main force is now in Hanzhong, and the time for reinforcements to arrive in Yidu is unknown, he decided to Bo, Bo has a chance to recapture Jiangling by himself.
