Chapter 219: One Step Ahead (Second Update)
For some reason, Liu Feng felt something in his heart at this time, but he felt that since Xinye and Zhuge Liang met, the two seemed to be destined to be enemies for a long time, and it was obviously impossible for such an opponent to be easily eliminated.
In the past few days, Liu Feng has already completed the deployment of the five counties, because the task of Jiangling city defense is very heavy, it must be like Zhuge Liang, so that it will not be able to find out that Liu Feng led the army to leave, only in this way can the effect of the surprise attack be achieved, so the important task of the southern county, Liu Feng is still handed over to Pang Tong.
During this year, Liu Feng has transferred 20,000 well-equipped elite soldiers to Jiaozhi, coupled with the strategy of Tuntian, the food and salary along the way, there is no need to deploy from Jingzhou or Cangwu, so this expedition, Liu Feng in addition to Feiyuwei, only led Huang Zhong and Changsha 10,000 elite soldiers, and then went to Jiaozhi with Xu Shu after resting in Cangwu.
This expedition, Liu Feng in case of emergency, Li Chuang and five hundred flying feather guards left in Jiangling, specifically to protect the safety of Sun Shangxiang and Meng Yao, and the safety of the south of Jingzhou was handed over to Gan Ning, who had been training the navy in Nanhai County, during this time, Gan Ning recruited 10,000 Jingzhou sailors, and cut down a lot of trees from Jiaozhou, recruited Jingzhou craftsmen, and has built more than a dozen large and small warships, this scale, although it is far from the navy under Sun Quan's command, but Liu Feng knows that after a few years, he can no longer be afraid of the Jiangdong navy, and in Liu Feng's heart, The day when the navy overtakes Jiangdong is the time when it can plot Jiangdong.
The previous time Liu Feng led the army to Jiaozhi, this came and went, it took more than a month, and Jiaozhi was nearly 1,400 miles away from entering Yizhou.
Not to mention that the road is far away, the journey takes a lot of time, just the swamp miasma on the Nanzhong Plateau, it will be prohibitive, if there is no Nanzhong Haoqiang to guide the way, even if the million army, if it is alone through the land of Nanzhong, the rest are afraid that it is less than two or three out of ten, and it is precisely because of this that Liu Feng was able to be sure, this trip to Yizhou, not only Liu Zhang will not find out, it is Zhuge Liang, and he would not have expected that he would do this curve to save the country.
And just when Liu Feng was full of ambition and preparing for a trip to Yizhou, Xiangyang City was too guarded in the mansion, but at this time it was a different scene, only to see Zhuge Liang sitting on the side of the main seat at this time, shaking the feather fan in his hand lightly, with a smile on his face, and when he was repelled by Liu Feng twice a year ago, he was already a judgment of the two. Liu Chan, who was four or five years old, sat on the main seat with his feet in the air, his lips closed, and he didn't even dare to make a sound.
In front of the hall, headed by Zhao Yun and others, dozens of Xiangyang officials lined up. This is the first time that Zhuge Liang has convened a hundred officials after returning from the victory in the north, everyone already knows that Zhuge Liang led Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei to sweep Nanyang, and then took down Runan in one go, so this time, everyone was happy, just because Zhuge Liang has many counties, many of them will be sent to the counties to govern and garrison, so it is naturally better than being depressed in Xiangyang City.
Sure enough, Zhuge Liang took the first step in sending many people to Nanyang and Runan counties to assist Zhang Fei in guarding against Cao Cao's counterattack.
Then, Zhuge Liang looked in front of the hall and asked Jian Yong, who was standing in front, "These days, have you harassed Jiangling as before?" The result? ”
When Zhuge Liang left, many matters in Xiangyang were handed over to Jian Yong.
When Jian Yong heard this, he said: "That Liu Feng is most accustomed to our behavior, and he has not been able to go out of the city to meet the enemy several times, but when the former second general Zifang led the army, there was a slight change......
Mi Fang, who was standing behind, heard Jian Yong's words, and couldn't help but secretly scold Jian Yong for being troublesome, but Jian Yong was diligent, and he had already prepared for it in his heart, although he didn't like it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but he still stood in place and looked at Jian Yong coldly.
"What happened?" Zhuge Liang was very wary of Liu Feng, and when he heard this, he frowned, and immediately asked.
"General Zifang led an army of 3,000, but he didn't want to be defeated by Pang Tong from Xiangyang City, 3,000 soldiers were rushed and scattered, and those who fled back to my Xiangyang City were only 1,000 left, and it was the biggest loss in these months, so we have not acted rashly in the past few days, I am afraid that there will be further losses, and we will only wait for the return of the army to make a decision."
Jian Yong only described the battle situation to Zhuge Liang, as for Mi Fang did not return until late at night, but did not say in detail, Mi Fang was able to not attract Jian Yong's attention, because Pang Tong had already considered this layer, and chased some Xiangyang soldiers to the south for dozens of miles before giving up during the fierce battle, so after Mi Fang returned to Xiangyang, there were still many sergeants who fled back, so it did not make Jian Yong suspicious.
"Is General Zifang okay?" When Zhuge Liang heard this, he didn't rush to speak, but looked at Mi Fang who was standing in the queue and asked with a smile.
"Fortunately, the one who went out of the city was Pang Tong, although this person was good at using soldiers, but the force was mediocre, Fang only found an opportunity to escape, and sneaked back to Xiangyang in the dead of night, so there was no big problem, some flesh and skin injuries have now healed."
This statement, Mi Fang has been thinking about it in the house for a long time, and when he said it, it was almost backwards, Zhuge Liang heard this, but he just glanced at Mi Fang deeply, and did not speak, Mi Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although there is a slight loss this time, but this matter can not be stopped, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, if it is not for the frequent intrusion of these days, how can we contain Liu Feng Jiangling's army, and how can we win this opportunity to go north. In a few days, Zilong will lead an army of 10,000 to go, and he will fight for a while, otherwise Liu Feng has not seen you and others for several months, and he is afraid that he will have doubts in his heart. Zhuge Liang withdrew his gaze from Mi Fang, and then gave this military order.
"Now that the land of Cao Cao's two counties has been taken, it is useless to invade Jiangling, I don't know what the military advisor means by this move?" When Zhao Yun heard this, he couldn't understand it in his heart, so he asked.
"How can we keep our army safe and stable? Since Liu Feng has not changed much, this matter must continue, and if we can fight for another year, we can settle down......"
Zhuge Liang stroked his short beard and said slowly.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he didn't ask again, as early as when Zhuge Liang first ordered to invade Jiangling, Zhao Yun also asked this question, and at that time, Zhuge Liang replied in the same way.
When Zhuge Liang was full of ambition, he had already set his sights on the West, and after a few months of preparation in his heart, the land of Yizhou could be captured! At that time, if Liu Feng wants to have a plot again, Zhuge Liang can join forces with Jiangdong to destroy it......
