…… However, it is said that Cao Ren was burned by Kong Ming in the city in the first battle of Xinye, and Cao Cao was furious and urged the army to fill the river and build bridges all over the mountains to Fancheng.

When I entered Fancheng, I looked at the high walls of Fancheng with mixed feelings, and when I entered the city, I remembered that Guan Yu had given Wei and Wu time to secretly reach an agreement and transfer troops because he had been attacking this city for a long time, and if he captured Fancheng, maybe the situation would be another way!

Liu Bei knew that he couldn't defend Fancheng, so he had to abandon the city and take the people across the river. Cao Cao had also persuaded Xu Shu to surrender before, but Liu Bei disagreed, and together with Kong Ming, he complained to him about the old days. I saw that Xu Shu's eyes were no longer bright, thinking that he had nothing to ask for in his future, although he had the heart to persuade him to stay, but I was afraid that he would die in Nagasaka with the army, not to mention that with my current status, if I want to keep him, I will inevitably ascend to the sky, so I have to watch him leave.

Poor Xinye, Fancheng more than 100,000 people in the two counties followed Liu Bei to Xiangyang, although I know how miserable and miserable they will be if they follow Liu Bei, but I am now a light person, even if I say it, it is useless, and it will make Liu Bei dissatisfied, and I will bear a notoriety of persuading the Lord to abandon the people.

So I went to Kong Ming and asked him to persuade Liu Bei, and I said to him: "Sir, if you don't persuade you, the people of these two counties may be martyred for the lord!" Unexpectedly, Kong Ming also shook his head and told me that even if he tried to persuade him, it would not be effective.

I suspect that he wants to use the lives of these people to fulfill Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness, but I can't question him face-to-face if he has such intentions. I could only cross the river with him, and said to myself in my heart: "Don't think of Kong Ming as so vicious, even if he is really wise, he shouldn't have thought that Liu Bei would rather break the jade than abandon the people to take Jiangling in the future!" ”

Under the city of Xiangyang, Liu Cong and the Cai family naturally refused to open the door, so Liu Bei abandoned Xiangyang and went to Jiangling. Because with so many people, he only traveled more than ten miles a day.

All the generals advised him to abandon the people for a while and go to take Gangneung first. But Liu Bei cried and said: "Those who lift big things must be people-oriented." This man is mine, why should I abandon it? When the people heard this, they wept. But I can't wait to rush up and give him a big mouth!

It's just that when I was hungry in Xinye, I had already calculated the situation if Liu Bei abandoned the people and went to take Jiangling. It is true that Jiangling City is strong and has a wide range of food, but Liu Bei did not have more than 10,000 soldiers when he marched to Jiangling. Later, Cao Cao sent people to select 5,000 iron cavalry to chase after him. Once they arrived at Jiangling City, Deng Yi and Liu Xian, who were in Jingzhou, refused to open the city and surrender, there was a strong city in front of them, and there were chasing soldiers in the back, and Liu Bei's entire family background, including me, may be all under Jiangling City.

Therefore, when I knew that these people were likely to be killed in Dangyang Nagasaka, I was sad and sad, and I could only let history develop like this. Moreover, even if he took 10,000 steps back, even if Liu Bei Jixing Gaozhao could get Jiangling, the reason why the Sun-Liu coalition army was able to defeat Cao Cao was completely based on the advantage of water warfare. As far as Liu Bei is now, trapped in the lonely city of Jiangling, if Dongwu doesn't save him, he will die, and Dongwu wants to save him, and he happened to be besieged on the way to help, and he broke off his old book.

Later, Zhuge Liang and Liu Feng led an army of 500 to Jiangxia to find Liu Qi for help. At this time, I felt that I was about to become a conspiracy theorist, and I always felt that Zhuge Liang was deliberately trying to get himself out of danger, but it was an excellent reason.

It's not that I don't want to see Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong's feat of killing in and out of the million-strong army in Changbanpo, or that I don't want to see Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide's spirit of drinking and retreating millions of Cao soldiers. I really know that if I don't follow Kong Ming to Jiangxia for help at this time, I will probably die in the chaos pursued by Cao Bing if I stay here.

Kong Ming's stay in Jiangxia coincided with Guan Yu and Liu Qi having already led the army to meet Liu Bei, and he was afraid that the army would not be enough, so he took his Yi nationality to Xiakou to raise an army. I knew that everyone would definitely return to Jiangxia safely, so I didn't go to Xiakou with Kong Ming in the name of packing up my residence. Because Kong Ming was busy with his own affairs, he followed me and left in a hurry.

Soon Liu Bei and the others returned to Jiangxia unharmed, and the feats of Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei in Dangyang Changban Slope began to spread in the army.

The next day, Liu Bei, Kong Ming, and Liu Qi discussed a good strategy to fight against Cao's army, and I stood behind Kong Ming and listened to him say: "Cao's army is strong, and it is extremely difficult to resist the enemy, so it is better to steal Sun Quan of Eastern Wu and think that it should be helped." Let the north and the south hold each other, and we will benefit from it, why not? ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he said: "But there are a lot of people in Jiangdong, there must be a far-sighted strategy, and Anken is compatible?" ”

Kong Ming said with a smile: "Today, Cao Cao attracts millions of people, and the tiger is in Jianghan, and Jiangdong is safe to let people come to listen to the truth?" If anyone comes here, Liang will borrow a sail to go to Jiangdong, and say that the northern and southern armies have annexed each other with a three-inch tongue. If the southern army wins, Cao Cao will be punished to take the land of Jingzhou, and if the northern army wins, then I will take advantage of the situation to take the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Liu Bei said worriedly: "This theory is very high, but how to get Jiangdong people?" ”

While he was talking, people reported that Jiangdong Sun Quan sent Lu Su to mourn, and the boat was already on the shore. Kong Ming smiled: "It's a big deal!" ”

I naturally know that it was Lu Su's visit that led to the Sun-Liu Alliance, and after they met, Zhuge Liang would cross the river with Lu Su, fight with the Confucians, and show his style.

As a scholar of Zhuge , I will naturally accompany Kong Ming when he crosses the river. It stands to reason that now that I have received Liu Bei's promise to Wuling County, as long as I let history develop so naturally without inaction, there will always be a day when I become the Taishou of Wuling.

However, even if he becomes the Taishou of Wuling, he may not be able to avoid the tragedy of Guan Gong's defeat and departure from Maicheng. During this period of time in Liu Bei's army, I realized that in order to command battles, it is not enough to rely on unpredictable prophets.

When Zhuge Liang burned Bowang, although he had a good plan, if it weren't for Liu Bei Fu and his sword seal, he would have thoroughly believed that he supported him, and if Guan Zhang and other main generals disobeyed his orders, he would not be able to win the battle.

In addition to the above, there are also ordnance, grain and grass, terrain and climate, the respective characteristics of the generals and civilian officials, the ordnance and training of the sergeants, and so on, etc., but it is not as simple as the game to create a market if you want money, build farmland if you want food, recruit soldiers if you want soldiers, and produce military uniforms if you want guns, halberds, bows and horses.

But I didn't have the right to practice these before I became the Taishou of Wuling, and I couldn't and didn't have time to start with the officials in charge of taxation or the officials in charge of the production of ordnance. I know that if there is no execution in anything, then no matter how good a strategy is, it will be in vain.

The fact that there is no opportunity to practice it now is a fact that I cannot change, and I know that the only thing I can rely on in this day and age is the means of the prophet of the unknown.

So I decided to think of a way to make a fuss about this ability, and by chance, the object I aimed at this time was changed from Zhang Fei, who was reckless and very good at taking the bait, to Lu Su, who was old and pretending to be confused.
