Chapter 454: Making a Choice
Seeing Zhuge Liang mention the names of Sun Quan and Lu Meng again, Zhang Fei's eyes also flashed, obviously, the flaw of the battle to seize Jiangdong was also quite uncomfortable in his heart, for the whereabouts of Sun Quan and Lu Meng, Zhang Fei has also been tracking in Jingzhou, but so far there has been nothing to find.
"Rest assured, if these two people are still alive, I will definitely grasp their whereabouts, and I will definitely not let them mess with my current rule in Jiangdong, but these days we have searched these places in Jiangdong layer by layer many times, I am afraid that even if Sun Quan and Lu Meng really did not die in the original rebellion, most of them escaped from Jiangdong ......"
After Zhuge Liang listened to Zhang Fei's words, he stroked his long beard and pondered for a moment before speaking: "Sun Quan's foundation in Jiangdong is too strong, not only will I kill him once I get Sun Quan, even if he takes refuge in Cao Zhi or Liu Feng's territory, most of them will not get any good end, so Sun Quan will most likely hide in a little-known place, but Jiangdong is very closed, he should not venture into Liu Feng or Cao Zhi's territory, so ...... This is a place where we should search carefully......"
Zhang Fei looked at the place where Zhuge Liang's finger was, and saw that Zhuge Liang's finger was landing on an isolated island that was almost suspended outside the Huaxia Continent, but Zhang Fei also knew something about it.
"Yizhou? Although this place is already very close to Jiangdong, even if Sun Quan and Lu Meng are adrift on the sea on a big ship, it is very dangerous, how dare this guy flee here in a hurry? ”
When Sun Quan was in charge of Jiangdong, he still had some contacts with the people of Yizhou, and often transported some objects from the Central Plains to Yizhou in exchange for some local specialties, and also had some friendship with the leader of the largest clan in the land of Yizhou, so it was indeed very possible for Sun Quan to flee to Yizhou.
"If Sun Quan and Lu Meng had already had some premonitions of their defeat in advance, they would definitely have prepared early, and the way to quickly escape the search and arrest of our army was naturally to go all the way south from Huiji County, and then take a boat directly into the sea and rush to Yizhou, and when we occupied those barren counties in the south, Sun Quan would have been running for a long time."
After listening to Zhuge Liang's analysis, Zhang Fei bowed his head silently and arched his hand: "Don't worry, military advisor, tomorrow I will arrange two elite warships to go to Yizhou to negotiate with the big clans in Yizhou, if Sun Quan really flees to Yizhou, even if he sends a large army to go forward, he will be captured back!" ”
Regarding Zhang Fei's statement, Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, but there was a long sigh in his mouth. Yizhou is really remote, and now his troops are still stretched thin to defend Cao Zhi and Liu Feng, where there are extra troops to attack Yizhou, even if Sun Quan really fled to Yizhou, according to Zhang Fei's statement to send a large army there, most of them will not be able to get accurate information, but Yizhou is very close to Jiangdong, and it is still very necessary to put some pressure on the tribal leaders there, so Zhuge Liang decided to agree to Zhang Fei's proposal, no matter what, he must warn those barbarians.
Zhuge Liang's difficulties, Liu Feng and Cao Zhi naturally have no time to take care of it, because their eyes are all focused on the important town of Wancheng at this time, what is Yang Xiu's strategy, because of secrecy, he did not inform Cao Zhi, which also gave him more expectations, he thought of the kind of wisdom and wisdom that Yang Xiu accompanied him all the way, and hoped that Yang Xiu could apply it to this battle and reverse the current situation faced by the Wei army, he knew that as long as Yang Xiu could eliminate the 50,000 troops under Liu Feng, will immediately bring the advantage to their side.
And Liu Feng, after noon on this day, also ushered in a headache.
Although Zhou Yu and Pang Tong had agreed to Liu Feng's decision to transport those discarded large-scale siege equipment back to Wancheng and then back to the Yizhou craftsman camp through Wancheng, because they were afraid that Yang Xiu would burn those weapons after the plan was broken, Liu Feng's people had to start transporting these weapons before completely defeating Yang Xiu, this requirement was a problem for these think tanks under his command, not to mention that the goal of transporting those things was very large, even the speed was also very slow. Once there is no reliable army to protect it, the consequences of being caught up by any army of the Wei State are unimaginable.
"What is certain is that Yang Xiu must be surrounded by ambush soldiers around that depression at this time, I don't know if the lord wants to transport those instruments back more, or wants to destroy some of its living forces more?"
Through some discussion by everyone, it was found that it was impossible to have the best of both worlds, so Pang Tong could only ask like this at this time, wanting to see which kind of victory Liu Feng was more inclined to.
"Equipment, it must be transported back, it won't be long before they will play an important role in the process of our army's domination of the Central Plains, so this time, as long as you can transport the equipment back while winning, as for killing the enemy, just do your best!"
Liu Feng knew the difficulties involved, so he quickly made a choice. With the trade-offs, it's easy to make a decision.
This time, the protagonist is finally Ma Chao's turn, in the suburbs of Wancheng such a flat terrain, the cavalry will definitely come in handy, and this time, Ma Chao finally has the opportunity to show his achievements in training cavalry over the years in front of Liu Feng, and this time, the touchstone is also full of weight, under the iron hooves of the tiger and leopard ride, it will definitely be able to test the quality of Ma Chao's cavalry.
The whole daytime passed like this, Yang Xiu was not in the tent where he was still guarded by several guards at this time, but led an army of black pressure to ambush in the forest not far from the depression where those large engineering equipment were stored, then Wancheng and the situation here can be clearly seen here, once Liu Feng's army came to destroy those equipment, Yang Xiu would indeed let him get his wish, and would leave them here together.
According to Yang Xiu's guess, it was indeed not a good opportunity for Liu Feng to send troops during the day, he left five thousand sergeants in the depression to guard those equipment, just to let Liu Feng see that he attached importance to those equipment, if not, how could Liu Feng send heavy troops to come?
At night, the Wei army, which had been ambushed in the forest for a day, was already a little sleepy, and Yang Xiu had to let the sergeants take turns to rest in order to maintain their combat effectiveness.
