Xu Sheng was very puzzled, looked at the letter over and over again, and even opened the envelope to take a look.

"Are you weird?" Xu Sheng said to Ma Zhong and Zhuge Jin, "I was not mentioned in the letter. ”

……

Ma Zhong and Zhuge Jin's faces were full of unnaturalness, and they were silently shouting in their hearts, what is really strange is how you are!

Seeing the sympathetic gazes of the two, Xu Sheng's expression froze, and then there was a little thought on his face.

Then it slowly began to rise red.

"Annoying!"

Xu Sheng tore Sun Quan's secret letter to shreds in front of the two, and then angrily kicked the curtain and walked out.

Ma Zhong and Zhuge Jin stared wide-eyed.

Zhuge Jin said first, "What should I do?" The army is in his hands, he doesn't nod, neither of us is useless. ”

Ma Zhong sighed, "Yes, let's go find him." I told him about my plan, he has to have a heart, let's do this, if he doesn't have the intention, with the help of the people in Mrs. Sun City, I still have time to cross the river. ”

When Zhuge Jin saw that Ma Zhong was also going to pick a pick, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly said, "Why is this, why is this." Let's go talk to General Xu. ”

Zhuge Jin took Ma Zhong to find Xu Sheng, entered his big tent, and saw that he was directing two personal soldiers to tie up their baggage and pack up their things.

Hearing the two of them coming in, Xu Sheng didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, and sneered, "The two of you, one is Sima Zhong, the general of the chariot cavalry, and the other is Sima of the other department of the Relief Battalion, don't go to command the troops, what are you doing here for me, an idler?" ”

Zhuge Jin saw Xu Sheng carrying a gun and a stick like this, his face was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Ma Zhong was indifferent, looked around, and said in a casual voice, "Come and laugh at you." ”

"What?!" Xu Sheng already had a fire in his stomach, and as soon as he heard this, he was immediately ignited.

He strode over and asked in a loud voice, "You are so bold, why do you dare to laugh at me?" ”

Ma Zhong was not false at all, and looked at Xu Sheng calmly, "I am a Sima of another department, and I am also planning to make a great contribution in Jingzhou, strive to be appreciated by Sun Jiangdong, and be able to rule the county alone." I can't imagine that you are a middle-class general, but you can only fight to pieces and escape back to Jiangdong like a dog. ”

"Annoying!" Xu Sheng was about to draw his knife when he heard this.

Zhuge Jin hurriedly pounced and persuaded, "General Xu, don't be weak-hearted, and let him speak, and you can refute him one by one." ”

Although Zhuge Jin is not good at fighting, he is a good person, how could he not see the agitation method used by Ma Zhong.

So to put it mildly, he gave an assist.

Xu Sheng was agitated by Zhuge Jin, and he was angry, and said angrily and laughing, "Lao Tzu has a weak heart, where is Lao Tzu's weak heart?" Okay, just let him talk about it, and let me see what this bastard has to say! ”

Seeing that Xu Sheng was finally obedient, Ma Zhong handed Zhuge Jin a grateful look.

Then he said straight to the point, "Defending can only be a dead end, what does General Xu think?" ”

Xu Sheng snorted, not bothering to pay attention to this at all.

Not to mention whether they can resist after the Jingzhou army recovers, I'm afraid that the food alone will not be enough for the envoys to support it for too long.

Ma Zhong said slowly, "If you can't keep it, you can only go." ”

"The south of Jiangling is the big river, and although our Jiangdong Navy Division is strong, we don't dare to go too deep into the hinterland of Jingzhou. Without the support of ground forces, a swift wind could cause catastrophe. Therefore, several commanders of the Jiangdong Army will definitely not risk coming to the rescue. What's more, the Jingzhou Navy is not an ornament, and there are generals like Zhang Yide in command. ”

Xu Sheng sneered, "You still need to say that if Lao Tzu can cross the river, why bother so much? ”

Ma Zhong is not in a hurry or impatient, "Then there is the north, and there is Cao Ren in the north." ”

There is no need to explain too much about this, the five words "there is Cao Ren in the north" are enough to explain the danger of the situation.

Xu Sheng hadn't considered this option at all.

Ma Zhong smiled and said, "I guess you won't go west either......"

Xu Sheng scolded, "It's really nonsense, you have to be sick in your brain to go west, we are going back to Jiangdong, what are we going to do in the west?" Running to the middle of the river to be the company of the barbarian? ”

Ma Zhong looked at Xu Sheng and said seriously, "That's right, I just want to lead the troops to the west." ”

"What?!" Xu Sheng was a little dumbfounded, and Zhuge Jin, who was about to assist, was also stunned.

Zhuge Jin hurriedly stopped, "Ma Beibu, you have to think clearly, going west is not only getting farther and farther away from Jiangdong, I'm afraid there is also a possibility of encountering the Jingzhou army withdrawn from Sichuan, this is too dangerous, I will never agree." ”

Ma Zhong listened and asked seriously, "Is it safe to go east?" Guan Yu and Lu Su were resisting on the front line, and we went east and appeared directly behind Guan Yu. If we're strong, it's better to say a little bit. But now we only have a thousand people, and the east is the direction where the Jingzhou army is the strongest. ”

Xu Sheng refuted this.

It was precisely because Xu Sheng also thought so that he did not leave the camp and escape. Because no matter where you go, it's not a good way back.

Seeing that Xu Sheng had finally calmed down, Ma Zhong immediately pulled out his waist knife and drew the ground as a diagram to explain his plan and discernment.

"Come and see, this is Jianping, here is Zigui, here is Xiling, here is Yidu, and here is Jiangling. After Yidu, it is Nanjun, and it can be said that as long as Liu Bei returns to the division and rushes out of Yidu, he will enter the core area of the Jingzhou army, and it will no longer be able to be controlled. I can't watch this happen. ”

Xu Sheng felt stunned for a while, he glanced at Zhuge Jin, who was also shocked, and couldn't help but interrupt Ma Zhongdao, "Ma Zhong, Lao Tzu heard it right?" What do you mean by this, are you going to take these thousands of people to block Liu Bei's way back? You want to die, there are trees on the side of the road, why are you pulling us?! ”

Ma Zhong didn't pay attention to Xu Sheng at all, and said to himself, "The Jingzhou army's military reality is all in Zigui, I have confirmed it." Moreover, when Zhang Yide returned to help, he did not commit any offense in the autumn of the few counties I just mentioned, and he did not start to replenish until Yidu, in order to give Liu Bei a sufficient and wealthy supply base. ”

"As long as we lead the army to break through Zigui first, and scourge the surrounding county towns as much as possible, burning and accumulating, then even if Liu Bei returns to Jingzhou, he will only be a tired and hungry tiger."

Xu Sheng was dazed by what Ma Zhong said, and hurriedly shouted, "Wait! ”

Saying that, he looked at Ma Zhong in disbelief, "You mean, just our people, to do this monstrous thing?" ”

Ma Zhong said confidently, "Of course, we won't be the only ones. I have stirred up the tycoons of the city, and have agreed to assemble to-morrow night, when the time comes, I will try to make them revolt. Therefore, I hope that when you see the fire at the north gate, you will immediately wave your troops to attack the city and add to the chaos in the city. ”

"As long as Jiangling City is in turmoil, we can coerce those heroes and wreak havoc on Jiangling places, and when the chaos spreads, even if Liu Bei comes back with his tired body, Nanjun will not be enough to give him enough food." (To be continued.) )
