"This--" Zheng Liang exclaimed as soon as he approached the table and saw what I had drawn on the white paper, and as I drew more and more beyond his imagination, his "This-" sound seemed to be cut off alive.

When I asked him, he hadn't shaken off his own consternation, and the first thing he said after a moment was, "My lord, are you mistaken, Soochow is our ally!" As if to match his statement, he drew a circle on the lower right side of the white paper, thought about it but did not write, drew a circle on it, wrote the word Hefei, and then drew an arrow from the circle at the bottom right until Hefei was surrounded, and then stopped and said to me: "This is the situation that should happen!" ”

In fact, I have never understood why Liu Bei believed so much in history that Dongwu would be their ally without regrets.

Maybe this is the same as being a person, you must look better than others when you look at yourself in the mirror. Similarly, Liu Bei's side has always been stupid and thinks that he is a good ally to Dongwu, but unfortunately, Dongwu's side has gritted his teeth with hatred.

I knew that I couldn't convince Zheng Liang in terms of alliance, so I tried to make him understand from another angle.

I marked 20,000 on Hefei, and wrote the word Zhang Liao in big letters, pointed to Hefei with a brush and said to Zheng Liang: "You see, Hefei has been attacked by Eastern Wu several times before, and there are heavy troops, and now it is undoubtedly a well-defended city.

Then I pointed to the public security and said to him: "Strictly speaking, the public security city is not even a city, at best, the tower is only a shed for soldiers to rest on the side of the harbor on the basis of the port, and with the help of the naval army of Soochow along the river, it will not take a few days to easily capture it!" My brush then pointed to Gangneung and said, "Gangneung Fortress is thick, and if there are 10,000 people, it will be enough to hold it for half a year." It's a pity that there are only 3,000 people now, and the guards have no talent, such a large city only needs 3,000 people to defend, and there is no need for anything else, as long as it is surrounded and besieged on all sides, it can easily break through the outer city, and when the people are panicked, there is no rescue outside, who can have the heart to stick to the inner city? It didn't even take a day to fall. ”

"But they're allies with us after all!" Zheng Liang was stunned for a long time after listening to me, and finally only held back such a sentence.

I-

I wanted to kick him out and get him as far as he could.

He looked at me wrongly, and subconsciously took a step back, and these five big and three rough men looked at me with horror in their eyes.

Oops, no way, who's to tell me that I'm unavailable now?

Thinking of this, I put on a very kind smile again, I smiled and gently beckoned to Zheng Liang to come over, and said to him: "Come, come, come, Zheng Liang, in fact, this idea is not something I came up with, but my husband has always had such worries, after all, Dongwu has been coveting this Jingzhou for a long time, and will never be satisfied with only half of it." ”

"Zhuge Military Division?" When Zheng Liang heard that Kong Ming had such an idea, he actually believed it a little, and I was unhappy in my heart! I thought to myself: "Zheng Liang, you bastard, don't look at who promoted you from the soldiers, I talked to you hard for a long time, you just didn't believe it, and when I heard that it was Kong Ming's idea, I actually believed it." ”

I looked at the sinister form of our army on the map and couldn't help but sigh, Kong Mingyuan is in Hanzhong, and he can't reach it from here, and now it is only up to me to save the turmoil.

I drew a small circle between Jiangling and Xiangyang, gently wrote the word Maicheng, and said: "Jiangling is now guarded by Mi Fang, you can only obey orders, there is a small city in the northwest of Jiangling called Maicheng, how many people did you bring to see me this time?" ”

Zheng Liang replied: "For the sake of speed, the military division only allocated me five hundred elite cavalry. ”

I was overjoyed when I heard this, and said to him: "Okay, just these 500 cavalry, plus 500 of my 600 personal soldiers, a total of 1,000 people, let you take Maicheng, I will write you a military order as General Pingxi, so that the original defenders of Maicheng will also obey your orders." ”

Zheng Liang's expression was a little bitter, and he said to me with a bitter face: "My lord, you just give me this thousand people to go to Maicheng, do you want me to come to the rescue when Eastern Wu attacks Jiangling, or use these 1,000 people to defend Maicheng to block the Wu army after Jiangling falls!" ”

I didn't expect him to think like this, I was stunned for a moment when I heard his words, and soon laughed and scolded: "Do you have the ability to block Wu Jun!" I told you to dig in the city.

"Digging?" Zheng Liang was a little confused.

I sat down and patiently explained to him: "Fancheng is so close to Xuchang, and Cao Cao has given up the Hanzhong army to retreat to Chang'an, he will never sit idly by and watch General Guan capture Fancheng, even if Yu Ban can't come to the rescue this time, there will definitely be a second or even third wave of reinforcements coming, and then General Guan can only retreat, and at this time, I estimate that Eastern Wu is almost successful in sneaking up on Jingzhou." ”

Zheng Liang rarely didn't interject, so I continued with my train of thought: "With General Guan's temperament, if he retreats, he must have been defeated so badly that he has to retreat, and Jingzhou must be in no mood to enter Xiangyang if it is attacked by sneak attack, so he can only rush to Jiangling desperately to try to recapture Jiangling. But Jiangling, which was defended by the heavy troops of Eastern Wu, was so easy to recapture, and when the time came, it must be impossible to advance or retreat, and in the end you can only go to Maicheng Zhongtunzha to find a way.

"Then you want me to go to Maicheng now to dig earth and build a city defense to strengthen the city wall? Ready to defend the city in the future? Zheng Liang seemed to understand a little, but he still went to another way.

I smiled and shook my head: "Maicheng is just a small place, I estimate that it will not be too long for Dongwu to send troops to sneak attack, you only have 1,000 people, let you work hard, 3,000 people can't defend Jiangling, what kind of city do you have to build to defend Maicheng!"

"Then you told me to dig the soil." Zheng Liang was not angry when I laughed at him.

I stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You are not asked to dig the earth, but to make us escape."

"Escape?" Zheng Liang's eyes widened when he heard these two words.

"That's right, secretly dig a tunnel to Shangyong from the place where the city is guarded, and when digging, use soldiers to pull up martial law at the periphery of the tunnel entrance, and no outsiders can let anyone know!" I said it very firmly, and there was not even some room for negotiation.

Soon Zheng Liang led the troops to Maicheng according to what I said, and now there are only 3,000 people in Xiangyang City and I only have 100 soldiers left, and after Zheng Liang left, I also hastily packed up my bags, and left all 3,000 people to Ma Liang to defend the city, and only took my own 100 personal soldiers to the front line of Fancheng to listen to the tune!

After all, even if it is a war that must be lost, it must be fought well.
