In fact, Zhuge Liang's analysis is exactly what Guan Ping thinks in his heart, even if Liu Feng is brave and has just been proclaimed emperor in Jingzhou, but there is a huge disadvantage in terms of troops, and all the main generals of the other party are people who can fight well, so even Zhuge Liang, who knows Liu Feng very well, is not very optimistic about Liu Feng's situation this time.

As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, everyone knew that he probably had his own plans for this battle, Zhuge Liang generally would not make a move easily, but once he made a move, then he would definitely get some good, otherwise, he would not stand out from the two counties in Jingzhou, and pull out his teeth under very unfavorable circumstances, and forcibly snatch Jiangdong from Sun Quan's hands.

"What does the military advisor think, just say it, now that Sun Quan has been frightened and avoided in Yizhou, where birds don't, I don't have to defend in Jianye, as long as the military advisor says a word, I will lead the elite soldiers under my command, whether it is Liu Feng or Cao Zhi, don't think about underestimating my Jiangdong sergeant!"

Zhang Fei has been guarding Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan and others in Jianye these days, he has not experienced any war for a long time, and his heart has long been very eager for the feeling of killing the enemy on the battlefield, at this time he finally found some opportunities, how can he let it go easily, he knows that once Zhuge Liang is determined to participate in this big war, then he will bear the brunt.

Zhuge Liang naturally understands Zhang Fei's temperament very well, smiled slightly, waved his hand, and then said slowly: "Liu Feng is not as weak as you think, this time for us, it is an opportunity to seek wealth and danger, and we also have to make preparations with both hands, if Liu Feng loses Jingzhou, naturally he can't let the whole territory of Jingzhou fall into Cao Zhi's hands in vain, but if Liu Feng really creates another miracle and relies on his own strength to defend Jingzhou, then we can't do nothing, How to do it, you just have to wait for my news. ”

After Zhuge Liang said such vague words, he sent everyone back to the mansion, only Zhang Fei, Guan Ping and Zhuge Jin, as well as the young master Liu Chan, were left in the mansion by him, as for what they discussed, others naturally did not know.

The three major forces in the Central Plains are finally about to take action this time, but judging from the current situation, the initiative is naturally still firmly in the hands of Cao Zhi, whether it is Liu Feng or Zhuge Liang, they are all passive actions because of his troops, so this time for Cao Zhi, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity to unify the Central Plains by taking advantage of the situation, and he does think so in his heart.

Sima Yi, the protagonist of this battle, did not choose to send troops in a hurry and with great fanfare like Yang Xiu before because Cao Zhi had some eager ambitions in his heart.

It wasn't until Cao Zhi was in Sima Yi's mansion that the half-moon period agreed with him had passed for a few days, and Sima Yi led the army to set off from the outskirts of Yecheng, and the delay was due to Sima Yi's advice to Cao Zhi, because he wanted Cao Zhang, who had just returned from the border, to quickly familiarize himself with the combat characteristics of the Wei soldiers in the Central Plains and some news about Liu Feng's opponent, so that Cao Zhi could only loosen his mouth on the time of sending troops.

This time, because of the experience of the previous time, and Sima Yi's side was monitored and assisted by Cao Zhang's own person, Cao Zhi did not go to Luoyang, and according to Sima Yi, he did not want to send troops from Luoyang directly to Wancheng to seize Nanyang, so after leaving Yecheng, Cao Zhi did not know where Sima Yi's first battle would take place, in order to keep a low profile, Sima Yi strongly persuaded Cao Zhi to omit the steps of swearing outside the gate of Yecheng, Sima Yi and Cao Zhang took advantage of the night, Without the people in Yecheng unknowingly, they took away all the 250,000 troops led by this expedition.

Sima Yi's cautious actions did play a role, because he did not swear an oath with as much fanfare as before, and he sent troops at night, and when Li Chuang, who was lurking near Yecheng, got the news, it had been almost a day since the troops were sent, and where the 250,000 troops went first, Ying Wei didn't figure out for a while.

After realizing the actions of Sima Yi and Cao Zhang, Li Chuang made a decision, on the one hand, he ordered some shadow guards under his command to set off from Yecheng and go all the way to the south to find out the whereabouts of the army led by Sima Yi and Cao Zhang, on the other hand, he led several elite people to ride fast horses and gallop directly to Jingzhou.

What Li Chuang didn't know at this time was that it was his decision that allowed Liu Feng to avoid falling into passivity at the beginning of the battle, and such a small detail is difficult to say whether it really affected the course and outcome of this battle that will surely go down in history.

When Li Chuang, who was gloomy and almost exhausted, appeared in front of Liu Cover, it was already nearly three days later, and in these three days, they galloped all the way from the small road, changing horses twice on the way, and only then rushed back to Xiangyang at this time.

Hearing the news that Li Chuang was almost desperately racing against time and brought back, Liu Feng was very excited, he knew how important the time saved was to him, at the moment, he first arranged for Li Chuang to go down to eat and rest, and then quickly summoned all his think tanks to the mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Because they already knew the general movements of Cao Jun, Pang Tong and Zhou Yu and others did not have any panic after learning about this, the focus of their guesses was naturally that Sima Yi was so eager to send troops from Yecheng, and Cao Zhi did not do the oath that Cao Zhi valued very much, what was his purpose, where would it become the target he was about to capture, I have to say that the number of 250,000 troops is too huge, once they are under the city without knowing it, in addition to the dangerous pass like Yangping Pass, No other place has been spared.

Everyone discussed for an hour or two, but in the end did not come to any definite conclusions, at least in addition to Yangping Pass, Shangyong, Nanyang, and even Jiangxia may become the target of Cao Jun, to get this conclusion, everyone is silent, obviously, this is not the result they are happy to see, Liu Feng's defenders are only about 80,000 in total, and Shangyong and Jiangxia defenders are not much, if they divide their troops rashly, most of them are in the hands of Sima Yi.
