Chapter 500: Deng Ai's Persistence
Hearing Liu Feng judge Zhuge Liang like this, Pang Tong's eyes turned, and an idea that he had already thought about several times in his heart came to his lips, so he said directly to Liu Feng: "I don't know if Your Majesty has thought in your heart, this time we will deal with Sima Yi and Cao Zhang alone, and the best result is to defeat Sima Yi's army after losing the army, but according to the situation of this siege, even if it is less than the Wei army, it will never be too much, which is not a good thing for Your Majesty. When our army recovers its vitality and wants to capture Wei again, won't Wei also recover to its previous level, although we have Jingzhou and Yizhou, Jiaozhou and other places, but the recovery ability is not as good as Wei, so the cycle repeats, what the result is, Your Majesty must have already thought about it in your heart. ”
When Pang Tong said this, he looked up at Liu Feng, Liu Feng's face was as calm as he imagined, Pang Tong knew that what he was thinking about in his heart, Liu Feng was afraid that he had already thought of it, but he didn't say it.
"What Mr. Shiyuan thinks, is it to pull Zhuge Liang into this battle?"
Liu Feng looked at Pang Tong, and directly hit the nail on the head, Pang Tong knew that Liu Feng must have had this idea early on, so he didn't beat around the bush, and walked directly to Liu Feng and said: "Since Your Majesty knew this, why don't we plan and introduce Zhuge Liang into this battle, once Cao Zhi's army is successfully repulsed, it will not only reduce our losses, but also make Zhuge Liang and Wei form a deeper grudge, so that it is undoubtedly the most beneficial to our side!" ”
Obviously, Pang Tong was trying to persuade Liu Feng, after all, at this time, Liu Feng's army and the Wei army had already had a fierce battle in Shangyong, and Pang Tong already had a deep understanding of the other party's ability and determination, and he knew that it was really unwise to compete with the Wei army alone.
"Mr. Na Shiyuan thinks, how can Zhuge Liang be willingly drawn into this war?"
Liu Feng asked, obviously already quite interested in this matter, Pang Tong hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "The result that Zhuge Liang wants is nothing more than that our army and the Wei army are seriously damaged, only in this way can he watch this good show in Jingzhou in Jiangdong in peace, if our army defeats the Wei army as before, and hurts Cao Zhi's roots, Zhuge Liang will most likely take the opportunity to plunder some of the places bordering Wei and Jiangdong, just like he encroached on Jiangdong before, but if my Jingzhou is defeated by the Wei army, Zhuge Liang can't sit still, Jingzhou and Jiangdong, that is the relationship between the lips and teeth, once Jingzhou is Cao Zhi, our army can also retreat to Yizhou to fight again on a later day, his Jiangdong is directly exposed to the iron hooves of the Wei army......"
"Then I wonder if Mr. Shiyuan has thought of a perfect strategy, what should our army do in order to pull Zhuge Liang into this battle?"
"Zhuge Liang is a person who is brilliant and scheming, and he is not under me, so until today, Tong has not come up with a perfect plan, and he has taken a big risk because of this matter, and I don't know if it is worth ......."
Facing enemies like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, Pang Tong did not dare to take care of everything in front of Liu Feng, in fact, he already had some strategies in his heart, but it was true that as he said, he could not 100% ensure that Zhuge Liang would be able to send troops after getting the news, and from Liu Feng's performance before, Pang Tong found that he should have been thinking about this matter for a long time, so Pang Tong did not say his strategy for the first time, but wanted to see if Liu Feng had some plans in his heart.
"I don't have to be too pretentious in this matter, if it is done deliberately, Zhuge Liang will definitely see the clues, and don't be anxious, what is the result of Wancheng at this time, it is what Zhuge Liang really cares about."
"Wancheng? It turns out that His Majesty has a plan in his heart, but after our army tries his best, it is not possible, it is what Zhuge Liang will believe, His Majesty only placed thousands of defenders in Wancheng in order to rescue Shangyong, it is difficult to hide Zhuge Liang, Wancheng is broken, Xiangyang is in danger, Xiangyang is broken, Jiangxia will not be guaranteed, if this is the case, Jiangdong will be difficult to protect itself, Zhuge Liang is a person who has to see the opportunity in everything, if he really sees this, there is hope for forcing him to send troops. ”
"I hope that Deng Ai and Zilong, Meng Qi can keep Wancheng, if Wancheng is really lost, the situation will be complicated, even if Zhuge Liang sends troops to consume some of the Wei army, it is not a good thing for the morale of our army."
In Liu Feng's heart, hard power always comes first, if it reaches the point of relying on the crisis of Wancheng to attract Zhuge Liang, it is indeed possible to preserve its own strength to a certain extent, but in this case, where will the defenders of Wancheng and the people in Wancheng be placed? The city fell, it was not only the generals and soldiers who defended the city who suffered, but the people in the city, Liu Feng has now been called the emperor, and the things in his heart are naturally a lot more than before, sometimes, he feels the great responsibility, from the later generations here he knows the importance of the people for the state, and at this time, this situation can be attacked and retreated is indeed not what he wants.
But what Liu Feng didn't expect was that he thought that the battle for Wancheng was just a question of who could arrive first, between Zhao Yun and Ma Chao and Cao Jun, but this was not the case.
Deng Ai, who guarded such an important city alone for the first time, did not guard his 5,000 men and horses in Wancheng after Liu Feng and others led the army to leave, and waited to be killed in Wancheng.
He knew that it would be absolutely difficult to hold Wancheng with only these 5,000 men and horses, and Deng Ai was also keenly aware that once the enemy found that Liu Feng went to Shangyong to rescue was pouring out, at this time Wancheng and Xiangyang were both empty guards, in case the troops went to Wancheng, the consequences would be unimaginable, Wancheng would be lost in a small matter, and Xiangyang would also have a mistake under the long drive, which would inevitably shake Liu Feng's foundation, after all, Xiangyang was the capital of Liu Feng's emperor, not comparable to other cities.
Thinking of this, Deng Ai meditated for a while, and while ordering his men to defend the city wall, he led several soldiers who were very familiar with Wancheng to the city alone, and went straight to a high gate.
What Deng Ai did, only he knew, Liu Feng didn't know, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, who were hurrying back to Wancheng, didn't know, and Cao Zhang, who had already led all the tiger and leopard cavalry and some elite soldiers to Wancheng before Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, naturally didn't know either.
In the dark of night, Deng Ai reappeared at the head of Wancheng, looking into the distance with blazing eyes, and still with a somewhat nervous look on his face.
Before the child, it was the darkest time of the night, and suddenly the scouts outside the city came to report, and there seemed to be a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, from far and near, rushing towards Wancheng.
