Chapter Seventy-Eight: Arranging the Way Back.
"This-" Zheng Liang exclaimed as soon as he approached the table and saw Zhuge Song drawing on the white paper, and as Zhuge Song drew more and more beyond his imagination, this "this-" seemed to be cut off alive. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Zhuge Song asked him, Zheng Liang had not yet broken free from his shock, and the first sentence after a while was: "My lord, have you made a mistake!" Soochow is our ally! As if to cooperate with his own statement, Zheng Liang drew a circle at the bottom right 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 Zhuge Song: "This is the situation that should occur!" ”
In fact, Zhuge Song has always been unable to understand why Liu Bei in history would believe so much that Dongwu would always 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 already gritted his teeth with hatred and wants to jump up and slaughter you immediately!
Zhuge Song knew that he could not convince Zheng Liang in a short time in terms of alliance, so he tried to make Zheng Liang understand from another angle.
Zhuge Song marked 20,000 on Hefei, and wrote the word Zhang Liao in big words, pointed to Hefei with a brush and said to Zheng Liang: "You see, Hefei has been attacked by Dongwu several times before, and there are heavy troops, and now it is undoubtedly a well-defended city.
Then he pointed to the public security and said to Zheng Liang: "Strictly speaking, the public security city is not even a city, at most it is only a shed for soldiers to rest and a small tulou on the side of the port on the basis of the port, and with the help of the naval army of Eastern Wu along the river, it will not take a few days to easily capture it!" ”
Zhuge Song's brush then pointed to Jiangling and said: "Jiangling City is thick, if there are 10,000 people, it will be enough to defend 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 won't even take a day to fall! ”
"But they're allies with us after all!" Zheng Liang was stunned for a long time after hearing Zhuge Song's words, and finally only held back such a sentence.
I-
Zhuge Song was eager to kick Zheng Liang out with one kick and let him roll as far as he could.
Zheng Liang saw that Zhuge Song's expression was wrong, and subconsciously took a step back, and these five big and three rough men looked at Zhuge Song with horror in their eyes.
"Oh, no way, who told me that I have no one to use now?" Zhuge Song sighed in his heart.
Thinking of this, he put on a very kind smile again, 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." ”
"Kong Ming Military Division?" When Zheng Liang heard that Kong Ming had such an idea, he immediately believed it, Zhuge Song was unhappy in his heart! I thought to myself: "Zheng Liang, you bastard, don't look at who promoted you from the soldiers, I talked to you 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!" ”
Zhuge Song looked at the sinister form of his own side on the map and couldn't help but sigh, Kong Mingyuan was in Hanzhong, and he couldn't reach it from here, and now he could only rely on him to save the turmoil and reverse the whole situation!
He knocked heavily with his pen at the place of the wheat city between Jiangling and Xiangyang, and said to Zheng Liang: "Jiangling is now guarded by Mi Fang, and you can only obey orders when you go, there is a small city in the northwest of Jiangling called Maicheng, how many people did you bring with me this time?" ”
Zheng Liang replied: "For the sake of speed, the military division only allocated me five hundred elite cavalry. ”
Zhuge Song was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, just these five hundred cavalry, plus the five hundred personal soldiers around me, gather enough 1,000 people for you to bring to Maicheng, and 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 replied to Zhuge Song with a bitter face: "My lord, you gave 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!" ”
Zhuge Song didn't expect him to think like this, he was stunned for a moment after hearing Zheng Liang's words, and soon scolded with a smile: "Do you have the ability to block Wu Jun!" I'm telling you to dig in the city! ”
"Digging?" Zheng Liang was a little confused.
Zhuge Song sat down and patiently explained to Zheng Liang: "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 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 Dongwu is almost successful in sneaking up on Nanjun." ”
Zheng Liang rarely didn't interject, and Zhuge Song continued with his own 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.
Zhuge Song smiled and shook his head: "Maicheng is just a small land, I estimate that Dongwu will not leave us too much time, you only have a thousand people, let you work hard, three thousand 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 laughed at by Zhuge Song, and he was not angry.
Zhuge Song stood up, patted Zheng Liang on the shoulder and said to him: "Asking you to dig the soil is not for you to repair the city, but for us to 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!" Zhuge Song said very firmly, and there was not even the slightest room for negotiation.
Soon Zheng Liang led the troops to Maicheng according to what Zhuge Song said, and now Zhuge Song only had Jiang Xiaoyu and a few entourages left by his side, and after Zheng Liang left, I also hastily packed up, leaving Jiang Xiaoyu alone to guard the last beacon closest to Nanjun, and whispered a few words, and rushed to the front line of Fancheng to listen to the transfer!
After all, no matter how difficult a war is, there will always be a reason to keep fighting.
