In terms of the choice of how to fight with the Wei and Wu armies in Jingzhou, in fact, Zhuge Song has been a little hesitant for a long time.

When he was still in modern times, as a loyal supporter of Liu Bei's side, in the face of the fiasco of Jingzhou and even Yiling, Zhuge Song used computers and blank paper to make countless assumptions and war games. Yiling aside, for the battle of Jingzhou, Zhuge Song had already formed a set of strategic plans that he thought were feasible before this era, which is why he attached so much importance to Wuling County.

Because Zhuge Song had long known that it was absolutely impossible to stop Guan Yu's Northern Expedition and let him stay in Nanjun honestly. Not to mention that General Guan looked at the frequent reports of good news in Hanzhong, and he must have made meritorious contributions, even Liu Bei was also counting on being able to use Guan Yu's pressure on Xiangfan to make Hanzhong more stable, in order to get north out of Liangzhou.

This move was originally very good, normally, as soon as Cao Cao retreated from Hanzhong, Guan Yu would retreat to Nanjun, so that when Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong next time, Liu Bei would already be completely prepared, and he could be Xu Tuliangzhou little by little.

Unexpectedly, in history, Guan Yu actually came to a flooded Seventh Army, and wiped out all the elite troops of Cao Cao to assist Fancheng, and under the high morale, he began to have no fear, not only did not retreat, but continued to surround Fancheng, which led to the later tragedy.

Zhuge Song's first plan is the strategic deployment that he has been thinking about for a long time. Since Guan Yu was able to flood the Seventh Army and tightly encircle Cao Ren in Fancheng in history, the key to this battle was undoubtedly the battle with the Eastern Wu side. If it weren't for the rear being wiped out, even if Xu Huang defeated Guan Yu in the back for a while, it would not have made Guan Yu lose his ground, and retreated to Nanjun without any intention of fighting, and ended up in a desperate end.

Eastern Wu can be said to be thinking day and night about occupying the entire territory of Jingzhou, and it is almost impossible to prevent them from sneaking into Jingzhou in a favorable situation. Zhuge Song could completely conclude this from seeing Lu Meng's performance in Lu Su before. Zhuge Song guessed that before he went to see Lu Su, even if Dongwu had not secretly reached a coalition with Cao Cao, he almost already had this idea, and he could only send an envoy to Dongwu on the front line of Fancheng and send envoys to Dongwu, so that when Zhuge Song persuaded Lu Su not to send troops within a year, Lu Meng would show such a big reaction.

On the question of how to deal with the sneak attack of Eastern Wu, Zhuge Song's previous idea was that if he had a soldier in his hand, he would not need too many, even if there were only more than 10,000 men and horses, he could completely lead the army to hide on the route where Lü Meng planned to cross the river in white clothes, and once Lü Meng took action, he would be given a blow to the head and kill his vanguard, so that he would panic and not be able to act rashly. Then the news of the sneak attack of Dongwu was transmitted to Guan Yu, and under the ironclad evidence, Guan Yu could only return to the army, so that Jingzhou would be safe.

Of course, Zhuge Song's previous long-term planning and wargaming will not be so simple. Because although the method of ambushing the Wu army is good, there are also many difficulties that are difficult to overcome. First of all, Dongwu has coveted Jingzhou for a long time, and after taking away the three counties, he must send a lot of spies to the south of the county, tens of thousands of troops and horses are not a small number, if Zhuge Song led so many people along the river to ambush and was known by Dongwu, it would lose the meaning of ambush and surprise. And with Guan Yu's temperament, if he can't attack Fancheng for a long time, he will definitely try his best to increase his troops, that is to say, even if Zhuge Song leads his troops to ambush along the river to temporarily suppress the ambitions of Eastern Wu, but once Guan Yu attacks Fancheng, the troops are insufficient to lead his troops to Fancheng to listen to the tune, then sooner or later he will still be waited for by Dongwu to wait for the opportunity to let history repeat itself.

So in addition to going to the river to prevent Dongwu Baiyi from crossing the river, in case Guan Yu had to transfer the military strength in Zhuge Song's hands, Zhuge Song's idea was to take control of Nanjun first!

You must know that the Nanjun city is high and dangerous, and the materials in the city are sufficient, far from being comparable to a small wheat city, if it is Zhuge Song instead of Mi Fang who is guarding in the Nanjun city, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, under the early preparation, he firmly believes that even if Dongwu uses a large army to surround it, he can hold on for a long time, and wait for Guan Yu to come to help. In history, after Guan Yu was defeated by Xu Huang for a while, in fact, he did not suffer a major injury, and the army in his hands was still very strong.

If Dongwu could not attack Nanjun for a long time, and Guan Yu led the army back to help, Dongwu would have only one way to withdraw his troops. In this way, although Guan Yu's early results are likely to come to naught, at least Cao Cao has given up Hanzhong, and Guan Yu has held Jingzhou, which is already a completely acceptable result for Zhuge Song.

As for the second plan, it is a very pessimistic way of fighting. If the core of the first plan is to defend Jingzhou, or even take advantage of Xiangyang County on the premise of defending Nanjun. Then the core of the second plan is to guard Guan Yu!

What is Shouguan Yu? The meaning is literally, it is to protect Guan Yu and ensure that he does not die in Maicheng.

Originally, Zhuge Song's original idea of studying this plan was completely to leave a way out for Guan Yu and himself just in case. The core of this plan is very simple, Guan Yu is not invincible, Wei and Wu's military strength can only retreat to Maicheng, and finally on the way to break through to Shangyong, he was only ambushed by Dongwu with 500 people and lost his life? Then he ambushed 3,000 people early on that road, killed the ambush of Eastern Wu, and escorted Guan Yu to Shangyong and even Hanzhong. Although Liu Bei has not yet captured Shangyong, Zhuge Song guessed that as soon as Cao Cao's army retreated, Liu Bei's pacification of Shangyong would definitely be just around the corner.

Zhuge Song has always felt that compared with losing Jingzhou, Guan Yu's death actually stimulated Liu Bei more. The reason is very simple, if the territory is lost, it can be fought back, but the righteous brother is dead, in Liu Bei's words, that is: "What is the use of having a country?" ”

If Guan Yu doesn't die, if all the civil and military officials die to persuade him, plus Pang Tong and Fa Zheng are not dead now, Zhuge Song estimates that the ministers can still persuade Liu Bei to fight Wu, even if he can't persuade him, Liu Bei will not be burned out of his head by anger and lose the calmness that a commander should have on the battlefield. So even if there is another battle of Yiling, as long as one of the two of them, Kong Ming and Pang Tong, is with the army, even if Lu Xun really has peerless talent and occupies the geographical advantage first, it is still difficult to say who will win and who will lose.

Of course, it is better to have Jingzhou than to lose Jingzhou, after all, even if Guan Yu is saved, it means that the military strength of Jingzhou and Banzhou is lost. But why do you say that there are pros and cons to each of the two schemes? On the surface, it is clear that the first plan is better and can better protect Liu Beijun's interests, but the loss of the second plan is too great and should not be a direction to consider at all.

But in fact, when Zhuge Song gradually realized that it was difficult for him to really control everything in the Three Kingdoms with only his understanding of the history books, after seeing Cao Cao's use of 300,000 troops as bait to capture Hanzhong, Zhuge Song admitted that he was really shocked by Cao Cao's majestic use of troops.

Historically, Cao Cao stopped marching after recovering Xiangyang, and only let Eastern Wu deal with Guan Yu, because Guan Yu had fallen into a Jedi at that time, and he was sure that Guan Yu's soldiers could be defeated and killed by Eastern Wu alone, and Cao Cao could also transfer Liu Bei's anger to Sun Quan.

But if Zhuge Song really helped Guan Yu hold Jingzhou, or when the defender of Nanjun was Zhuge Song, and Eastern Wu had surrounded him with heavy troops but was desperate, in order to greatly weaken Liu Beijun's strength, would Cao Cao no longer stop his army as he did in history, but drag or even surround Guan Yu in the Xiangfan area, and wait for the Nanjun city to break through and then let Guan Yu break through?

If this is the case, compared with the first set of plans of the two major military groups to resist to the death, victory is good or defeated, and the strategy of retreating early, although losing Jingzhou, can safely escort most of Jingzhou's generals and civilian officials to Shu, in Zhuge Song's view, it seems relatively better.

Of course, although he had all kinds of concerns about the first set of plans, when he went to see Guan Yu with Wang Fu, although he did not expect to persuade Guan Yu to withdraw from the army, Zhuge Song still resolutely decided to implement the first set of plans as most people thought, even if there were many difficulties, but he could always adapt to the situation and let the situation develop in the most favorable direction.

Because this is Jingzhou after all!

Although only half of it is left today, it is enough to support the supply of nearly 100,000 soldiers! It is an indispensable springboard for Kong Ming to point directly at Wanluo!

In this way, Zhuge Song followed Wang Fu into Guan Yu's military tent and tried to make a final effort, but what awaited him was that unacceptable indifferent dialogue.
