Chapter Seventy-Four: A Cold Response

When Wang Fu and Zhuge Song sat down separately in the military tent, Zhuge Song never said a word, just quietly listened to Wang Fu's persuasion to Guan Yu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

After Guan Yu heard Zhuge Song's clever plan to break the beacon tower from Wang Fu's mouth, Guan Yu pondered for a moment, and looked at Zhuge Song's eyes finally changed, but the obsession in his heart did not make things better.

Hahahaha, Guan Yu suddenly laughed, at this time in the account in addition to Zhuge Song and Wang Fu, only Guan Yu and Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, out of Zhuge Song is still expressionless, the rest of the people feel a little inexplicable, although "Zhuge Song's strategy to cross the river in white clothes" does have a great chance of being feasible, but if Fancheng is broken, Cao Cao will definitely withdraw from Hanzhong, and now if the troops are withdrawn, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of failure, and it is really difficult to give up the great work of forcing Cao Cao to return to help, at this time Guan Yu suddenly laughed, and everyone did not know whether he would agree to withdraw the troops.

Guan Yu laughed and said to Zhuge Song: "This plan is really wonderful, but Lu Su is not as good as Zhou Yu, Zi Jing is good at diplomacy but short of conspiracy, I don't think he can think of such a strategy." If Zhou Yu and Kong Ming were afraid that Cao Cao would see through the fire attack plan, how could they win the battle! ”

After that, he changed back to his previous rather indifferent expression: "Now that Fancheng is being defended by Cao Ren, Song'er, you have the time to plan for Dongwu, why don't you come up with another clever plan for me, take Fancheng as soon as possible, and solve the worries of the lord and Hanzhong?" After speaking, he looked at each other coldly, just waiting for Zhuge Song to answer.

Zhuge Song knew Guan Yu's temper for a long time, so he didn't have much hope for this business, and when he heard Guan Yu say this, the feeling of unspeakable grievances still rose uncontrollably from his heart. Thinking that he started from the bet between Xinye and Guan Zhang, crossed the river with Kong Ming to promote the alliance, followed Liu Bei into Sichuan to make miraculous achievements, and then saw through Lu Meng's plan to defend Wuling and worked hard, all of them were for the good of the person in front of him, but he couldn't say in front of everyone in the account that he was from modern times, and you all listened to me, so that he could save the day.

Zhuge Song decided not to fly with Guan Yu anymore, and as soon as Lu Su's arrows were sent to him, he would first take 5,000 people to the riverside to garrison, if Guan Yu wanted to transfer him to Fancheng, he would be able to delay it, and if he couldn't drag him out, he would first go to Nanjun to gain control, and drive Mi Fang and the original defenders in the city to the front line to reinforce Guan Yu.

However, Guan Yu saw that he was silent, and thought that he was protesting with silence, but seeing that the situation was embarrassing, he actually waved his hand and said: "That's it, that's it, young people always only rely on their own subjective likes and dislikes, and don't consider the overall situation." In this way, I only borrow half of your 10,000 troops, and the remaining half is handed over to you to deploy along the river, now Ma Liang is in Xiangyang, Governor Zhao Lei's logistics food is early, and there is a lack of civilian officials in the army, Wang Fu, you will stay in the general consul camp for miscellaneous work, and everyone has no opinion now! ”

After saying that, he sneered and said to Zhuge Song: "I said General Pingxi, everything about the defense of Wu has been entrusted to you, and if there is any mistake at that time, you will have to come to see you!" ”

When Zhuge Song heard this, he didn't say much, walked to the tent and gave Guan Yu a deep salute, and turned around and left without saying a word, leaving Wang Fu to stand up and shout: "General!" Seeing that Zhuge Song didn't look back, he could only sigh and sit down. I only heard Guan Yu say: "Wang Fu, you are so bold, I ordered you to build a beacon tower, but you dare to ask Zhuge Song to come to me to make trouble!" If it weren't for the employment now, I would have to clean you up! ”

Wang Funuonuo said yes, and he didn't dare to mention the matter of preventing Wu.

And said that Zhuge Song was ordered to repair the beacon tower for Wang Fu, every twenty miles, four or five hundred miles along the river, a total of more than 20 beacon towers need to be repaired, five thousand people in addition to five hundred personal soldiers with Zhuge Song, the rest of the armies are scattered in turn to be deployed, each beacon tower has two hundred soldiers to defend, Zhuge Song is not at ease, ordered people to rush to make iron cables, every evening will be the river to the beacon tower as a unit to block in sections, from Yiyang to the public security along the river set up dozens of iron cables, large and small merchant ships are not allowed to pass, tired businessmen complained, Zhuge Song was still unmoved, still thinking day and night about whether there was a better way to prevent "crossing the river in white".

He reported this to Soochow as early as possible, and Lu Su had recovered most of his illness at this time, so he summoned Lu Meng to discuss privately. Because Guan Yu besieged Fancheng very urgently, Cao Cao was harassed several times in Hanzhong, the army was tired and had no intention of protecting Hanzhong, so he accepted the advice of Zhang Ji, the assassin of Yongzhou, to forcibly relocate nearly 100,000 residents of Hanzhong to Chang'an, and when Hanzhong was empty, he finally decided to withdraw the army, leaving an empty city for Liu Bei, preparing to return to Chang'an for a short rest, that is, the whole army returned to Xuchang, and then reinforced Fancheng. After the army arrived in Chang'an, he sent a letter to Manzhong to Dongwu to persuade Sun Quan to attack Nanjun, and on the other hand, he ordered Yu Ban to lead 20,000 troops from Runan to Fancheng to relieve Cao Ren's urgency.

Lu Su summoned Lu Meng to come because Sun Quan had listened to Zhang Zhao's intentions, and Haosheng received Manzhong, and sent a letter to ask Lu Su about his intentions.

LΓΌ Mengjin said after seeing Shi Li: "Since ancient times, the south of the Yangtze River has been downstream, Eastern Wu and Cao Wei have held each other in the area from Hefei to the Yangtze River, and I share the Yangtze River with Cao Wei, and although there are many northern armies, they are not accustomed to water warfare, and if Cao Wei wants to cross the river, it is still more advantageous for our side." But Jingzhou is different here, the soldiers of Jingzhou are good at water warfare, and they are not worry-free for the time being, only because Cao Cao and Liu Bei are still short in the days when they can get Jingzhou, if Guan Yu is allowed to occupy this place for a long time, his Japanese army, horses and warships are all ready, and when they go downstream, it will not be the blessing of my Jiangdong! ”

"Although Ziming's words are, but Liu Bei also had a word in advance, when he seized Liangzhou, he will return the whole land of Jingzhou in Eastern Wu, at this time Cao Cao has returned from the north of Hanzhong, if he reinforces Fancheng, the lord will send troops to Hefei again, and Liu Bei will not dare to delay the return of Jingzhou to Liangzhou, when Cao Cao can not take care of each other, our army can both Jingzhou and Xuzhou, and the two Wei will fight for the world is not better?" Lu Su listened to Lu Meng's words, and was still a little unwilling.

"The Great Governor, in my opinion, Liu Bei is a repeated villain, don't listen to it, he once said that he took Yizhou and had a place to live before returning to Jingzhou, and now he has benefited the state, but he still has to ask for a place for Guan Yu to live, and when he takes Liangzhou, he may have any words! Moreover, our army is good at water but not land, and the lord has failed to attack Hefei several times, all because of this. Although Cao Cao has many generals and generals, strategists such as Xun Yu and others tend to be old, on the other hand, Liu Bei, Wolong and Phoenix Chicks are in the prime of life, and military generals such as Guan, Zhang, and Zhao are even more unstoppable, not to mention that Zhuge Song is only a weak crown in his age, and recently I heard that he is building a beacon tower along the river, just to prevent me from Dongwu, if I don't take advantage of this time Cao Cao is also willing to contribute to take Jingzhou, Jiaozhou is remote and limited, and the momentum of the tripartite stalemate has been completed, only by virtue of Yangzhou and a state, I can only let the other two parties fish and meat! The more Lu Meng spoke, the more eager he became, and after speaking, he only looked at Lu Su, hoping that he would agree.

Lu Su sighed: "Even if I also have the intention of taking Jingzhou, but now Zhuge Song has built a beacon tower along the river to set up defenses, and make a detailed return, in addition to the beacon tower, every evening and there are iron locks across the river, dozens of places have a total of no less than 5,000 soldiers, although the attack can be broken, but it has already alarmed Guan Yu, if Guan Yu is alarmed to return to the army, it will help Cao Cao a lot and worsen the relationship between Wu and Shu!" ”

"Don't worry about it!" Lu Meng continued: "At this time, Cao Ren was besieged in Fancheng, Cao Cao was most worried, the governor could reply to the lord, so that the lord let Cao Cao send troops to save Fancheng, Guan Yu has few soldiers, and he will increase the front line, although Zhuge Song is wise, it is expected that he will not be able to disobey Guan Yu's military order, and no one will stick to the beacon tower will be useless, and when the two sides and Fancheng are fighting with each other, our army will send another surprise army to attack Nanjun, so that Guan Yu can not take care of each other, then the big thing will be done!" ”

"Alright! Whether it is to attack Jingzhou or Hefei, it is also a clever plan to let Cao Cao and Liu Bei fight first, so I will write back to the lord and submit your opinions together. After Lu Su said that, he unfolded the white paper and began to write, while Lu Meng on the side was happy, ready to go back to the barracks to make arrangements.
