"Save the Son of Heaven?" Zhuge Song hissed like a toothache, raised his right hand into a fist and rubbed his right cheek, thinking: "Zheng Liang, you are also ruthless!" That's a bit too big an appetite, isn't it? ”

Zheng Liang was a little surprised when he saw Zhuge Song's appearance, and asked with some confusion: "What's wrong, my lord?" Is there something wrong? ”

"No, no!" Zhuge Song put down his right hand, then raised it again, grabbed his head, and loudly ordered his subordinates to bring the map and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The subordinate spread the map on the bookcase and brought a small table to the side, put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it, and after doing this, Zhuge Song waved his hand and asked them to go down, and studied the map with Zheng Liang.

According to the geographical location of the city on the map, Zhuge Song drew several hollow circles on the white paper with a brush to represent them, plus some important rivers and major mountain ranges, which became a simple military sketch.

From south to north, those circles represent Gong'an, Jiangling, Xiangyang, Fancheng, Runan, Wancheng, and Xuchang, and the approximate strength of Guan Yu's army and Cao's army that Zhuge Song knows is roughly indicated in words on several circles. The military strength distribution of Guan Yu's army is: 3,000 in Gong'an, 3,000 in Jiangling, 3,000 in Xiangyang, 27,000 in the periphery of Fancheng, and 1,000 in beacon towers along the river, totaling about 37,000 people. The distribution of Cao's troops were: 10,000 in Fancheng, 5,000 in Wancheng, 15,000 in Xuchang, and 20,000 in Runan, totaling about 50,000 people.

Judging from the comparison of the military strength of the two sides, on the surface, Guan Yu's army is about 15,000 less than Cao's army, but after deducting the remaining troops in each city that cannot be moved, in fact, the two sides are only anxious about the 27,000 people commanded by Guan Yu on the front line of Fancheng, and the 10,000 people of Cao Ren who were besieged in Fancheng plus the 20,000 people who came to help, a total of 30,000 people, it can be said that Guan Yu's army is slightly weaker, but Cao's army is divided into two parts. The two sides are fairly evenly matched.

Zhuge Song did not directly tell Zheng Liang what he wanted him to do, but asked him how to deal with the current situation if he was Guan Yu.

Zheng Liang thought for a while, then took another brush from the table, dipped it in ink, drew a prominent semicircle on the northeast side of Fancheng, and then drew a larger circle outside the hollow circle of Fancheng and replied: "My lord, according to my idea, it is to choose a place with good terrain in the northeast of Fancheng to build a barracks and use part of the troops to block the forbidden reinforcements, and the other part will continue to attack the city on the periphery of Fancheng. ”

In history, Guan Yu actually did the same, but Guan Yu's troops on the front line at that time were nearly 50,000 people, and he not only blocked the ban under the condition of besieging Fancheng, but even used the time to mobilize the main force to almost completely destroy Yu Ban's troops, and even Yu Ban himself was captured by him.

But now Guan Yu has less than 30,000 people in his hands, although the army brought by Yu Ban from Runan is also less than the mixed army that Cao Cao gave to Yu Ban after the Seventh Army in history, but for Guan Yu, who is still besieging the city, it is still more unfavorable than the situation in history.

Of course, Zhuge Song did not directly refute Zheng Liang's opinion, because dividing the troops to resist the enemy is the best way for Guan Yu in the current situation, if he does not block the ban fifty miles away from Fancheng first, and only wait for the other party to arrive and fight a decisive battle under the city, it will be difficult to predict whether he will win or lose at that time.

What's more, if Yu Ban's army really arrived not far from Fancheng, Yu Ban could even choose not to fight a decisive battle, as long as he set up a camp near Fancheng, Guan Yu would attack if he wanted to attack the city, and Guan Yu would defend the camp if he didn't attack Yu Ban, which was enough to make Guan Yu helpless.

Zhuge Song just said to Zheng Liang: "It is also common sense to divide troops to resist the enemy, but you still need to divide our army, such as how many people to keep in the siege, and how many people to use to block the reinforcements. ”

This time Zheng Liang thought about it for a much longer time than the last time, Zhuge Song saw that he wanted to write down the number in the position where he should put pen to paper several times, and shrank it back several times, and then Zhuge Song directly moved a chair and sat aside and yawned.

For a long time, as if he had made a great determination, Zheng Liang almost gritted his teeth and wrote down two numbers on the map, and then turned his head to Zhuge Song and said, "My lord, Zheng Liang knows what you mean!" ”

"Know what I'm thinking?" Zhuge Song thought in his heart: "No! How could he have such a "prophetic precipitation" as me? ”

When he got up and looked at it, he was almost angry with Zheng Liang. Because he wrote 24,000 outside the circle that surrounded Fancheng, and 3,000 on the edge of the small semicircle that blocked the reinforcements!

Zhuge Song was so angry that he couldn't help but tease him: "Oh, I said Zheng Liang, I didn't expect that after so long, I haven't seen you not only know how to write, but also write so neatly!" ”

Zheng Liang thought that Zhuge Song was really praising him, so he said with some embarrassment: "When I occasionally have time to relax with the lord, I found someone to teach him, and the writing is not good, and the adults laugh, and the adults laugh." ”

Zhuge Song gently tapped the place where three thousand were written with the end of the brush barrel, and drew an arrow from Runan that directly touched the semicircle, and wrote 20,000 on it. asked Zheng Liangdao: "3,000 people block 20,000?" That's what you said I thought? Then are you going to take these 3,000 people or am I going to take them? ”

Zheng Liang was taken aback by Zhuge Song's sudden anger, but he still lowered his head and said in a voice that was almost inaudible to Zhuge Song: "Of course you go and take it!" ”

"Oops!" Zhuge Song squatted down with his head in his hands, didn't look at Zheng Liang, and just said loudly: "You are going to kill me!" You're going to kill me! After speaking, he stood up violently, and directly passed the arrow representing Yu Ban through the semicircle with a brush, and then made a big cross on the circle where Guan Yu surrounded Fancheng, and finally drew a dotted line indicating Guan Yu's retreat from Fancheng to Xiangyang, before he stopped his pen and asked Zheng Liang: "I think it must be like this in the end!" What do you think? ”

Unexpectedly, Zheng Liang, this kid, looked at Zhuge Song like this, and actually played tricks directly, raised his head and took two steps back, stretched out his hands and said to Zhuge Song: "Oh, my lord, don't torture me, okay?" It was you who made me guess, and I finally guessed that you are like this again! You just told me what to do, and I listened to you completely, can't I? ”

When Zheng Liang said this, Zhuge Song was speechless, and he was like a strong man.

Zhuge Song shook his head helplessly, drew a small circle on the map, marked a name on the outside of the circle - Lukou, and then wrote 50,000 on it, and no longer let Zheng Liang guess, just waved his hand to tell Zheng Liang to get closer to the table, and then drew an arrow from Lukou along the Yangtze River through the monitoring area of the beacon tower until the public security, without hesitation drew a circle on the periphery of the public security and then made a big cross, and then the arrow went to Jiangling, and directly drew a circle and hit a big cross, and then pointed to Xiangyang, However, when there was still half a distance between Gangneung and Xiangyang from Xiangyang, he stopped, drew a small circle on it to mark the word Maicheng, and surrounded it with a large circle.

He raised his head and asked Zheng Liang: "If Fancheng is not captured and Jiangling falls again, what do you say we should do?" ”
