"Save the Son of Heaven?" I hissed like a toothache, raised my right hand into a fist and touched the cheek on my right, thinking, "Liu Bei, this guy is also ruthless!" That's a bit too big an appetite, isn't it? "But I thought about it, this is probably what my husband meant, and the words of this Son of Heaven are likely to be a joke about him and Liu Bei discussing the military situation and saying that they were happy.

Zheng Liang was a little surprised to see me like this, and asked me with some doubts: "What's wrong, adult?" Is there something wrong? ”

"No, no!" I put down my right hand, then raised it again, scratched my head, and loudly ordered my subordinates to bring the map, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. The next man spread the map on my table, brought a small table and placed it next to my desk, put the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on it, and when I had done this, I waved him down and studied the map with Zheng Liang.

According to the geographical location of the city on the map, I drew a few hollow circles on the white paper with a brush to represent them, and together with some important rivers and major mountain ranges, it 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 our army and Cao's army that I know is roughly indicated in words on the circles above. The distribution of our army's military strength is as follows: 3,000 in Gong'an, 3,000 in Jiangling, 3,000 in Xiangyang, and 27,000 in Fancheng, totaling about 36,000 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, our army is about 15,000 people less than the Cao army, but after deducting the remaining troops in each city that cannot be moved, in fact, the two sides are anxious on the front line of Fancheng only our army under the command of Guan Yu 27,000 people, Cao Ren who was besieged in Fancheng 10,000 people plus 20,000 people who came to help, a total of 30,000 people, it can be said that our army is slightly weaker, but Cao's army is divided into two parts, from the situation speaking, if Guan Yu rushes to the forbidden reinforcements before the arrival of the favorable terrain around Fancheng, The two sides are fairly evenly matched.

I didn't directly tell Zheng Liang what I 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 said: "My lord, according to my idea, it is to choose a good place 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 less than the mixed army after Cao Cao gave him the seven armies in history, but for Guan Yu, who is still besieging the city, it is still more unfavorable than the situation in history.

Of course, I didn't directly refute Zheng Liang's opinion, because dividing troops to resist the enemy is the best thing Guan Yu can do in the current situation, if he doesn't first block the ban fifty miles away from Fancheng, and only wait for the other party to come 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 arrives not far from Fancheng City, he can even choose not to fight a decisive battle, as long as he sets up a camp near Fancheng, if you want to attack the city, I will attack, if you don't attack me, I will defend the camp, which is enough to make my army helpless.

I just said to Zheng Liang: "It is also common sense to divide troops to resist the enemy, but you still need to mark how our army should divide its troops, such as how many people to keep in the siege and how many people to use to block reinforcements, and I will see how to distribute military strength to achieve the best configuration of dividing troops to resist the enemy." ”

This time Zheng Liang thought about it for much longer than the last time, I saw that he wanted to write down the number in the place where he should be several times, and shrank it back several times, and then I moved a chair and sat aside and yawned.

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

"Know what I'm thinking?" I thought to myself, "No! How could he have such a "prophetic precipitation" as me? ”

When I got up and looked at it, I was almost amused by him. 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!

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

Zheng Liang thought that I was really praising him, so he said a little embarrassed: "When I have some free time with my lord, I find someone to teach, and the writing is not good, and the adults laugh and the adults laugh." ”

I used the end of the brush to lightly tap the place where 3,000 was written, and drew an arrow from Runan that directly touched the semicircle, and wrote 20,000 on it. asked Zheng Liang: "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 my sudden anger, he lowered his head and said in a voice that I could barely hear, "Of course you will take it!" ”

"Oops!" I squatted down with my head in my hands, didn't look at Zheng Liang, and just said loudly: "You're 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 in the circle where our army surrounded Fancheng, and finally drew a dotted line indicating the retreat of our army from Fancheng to Xiangyang, and then stopped his pen and asked Zheng Liang: "I think it must be like this in the end!" What do you think? ”

I didn't expect Zheng Liang, this kid, to see me like this, he actually played tricks directly, raised his head and took two steps back, stretched out his hands and said to me: "Oh, don't torture me, sir, 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, I was speechless, and I felt like I was too strong to be.

I shook my 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, I no longer let Zheng Liang guess, just waved his hand to tell him to get closer to the table, and then drew an arrow from Lukou along the Yangtze River to the public security, without hesitation in the periphery of the public security to draw a circle and then hit a big cross, and then the arrow went to Jiangling, directly drew a circle and hit a big cross, and then the arrow pointed to Xiangyang, But it stopped when there was still half a distance between Gangneung and Xiangyang from Xiangyang.

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