Chapter 312: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf
"Mr. Shiyuan's vision is the same as mine, but I don't know what Mr. Shiyuan thinks Zhuge Liang will plot after this defeat?"
Zhuge Liang's style, Liu Feng naturally understands it very well, as early as in the previous life, Zhuge Liang in the history books was the general of the Shu Han Building, several times with the weak to attack the strong, containing Cao Wei for many years, this in exchange for Shu Han internal stability for several years, and the current situation, compared to that fashionable and inferior, so Liu Feng knew in his heart that Zhuge Liang would take the initiative to attack, to fight to support the war, only in this way, can he make his own unsafe Xiangyang and other places will not become the target of other forces.
Pang Tong smiled at Liu Feng when he heard this, and replied slowly: "Zhuge Liang has just returned to Xiangyang from Jiangxia at this time, and he has not yet decided what he wants to do next, but the reason why Zhuge Liang came here is because Zhuge Liang has not yet decided. β
Pang Tong's implication is obviously that Zhuge Liang's choice can be influenced through Liu Feng's efforts, but what Liu Feng is puzzled in his heart at this time is that after many times of analysis before, he doesn't know who Zhuge Liang is attacking is beneficial to him, so Pang Tong said this, Liu Feng is still very much looking forward to it. So he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Shiyuan might as well speak up." β
The lord can know that the reason why Zhuge Liang pulled Sun Quan's 20,000 army into the battle is naturally to help him hold Runan, and secondly, most of them want to find out how much combat strength Sun Quan has after Zhou Yu and Lu Su are gone. And Lu Meng did not take advantage of Zhang Liao's hands and returned defeated, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang already has a measure in his heart. β
The second of Pang Tong's words was indeed something that Liu Feng had not thought of before, Zhuge Liang pulled LΓΌ Meng into the battle in order to find out the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong sergeants in advance, which was really a far-sighted move.
In fact, in Liu Feng's heart, the primary goal of elimination has always been Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang is full of wisdom, even if he is trapped in such an isolated island Xiangyang, Jiangxia land, he can still develop steadily, and seize Cao Cao's territory at the first opportunity, if it develops in the future, takes more territory, and gets more soldiers, it is a very terrifying thing for Cao Cao, Sun Quan or Liu Feng.
But at this time, Liu Feng did not say this idea, he knew that not all the people under his command were as far-sighted as himself and Pang Tong Xu Shu, if he said the idea of wanting to eliminate Zhuge Liang first, then it would probably make these people under his command think that it was because he was at odds with Zhuge Liang when he was under Liu Bei's command before, so he wanted to take revenge first, such an idea is obviously not a good thing for Liu Feng, so Liu Feng must not say this remark himself.
"Mr. Shiyuan thinks that Zhuge Liang may plot against Jiangdong?" Liu Feng was thinking about how to take this opportunity to hit Zhuge Liang hard, but he still asked according to Pang Tong's words.
"Jiangdong is the weakest time at this time, Zhou Yu and Lu Su have left, Ling Tong and Huang Gai have also returned to our army, and Lu Meng is newly defeated, so if the two new governors want to fully control the situation in Jiangdong, I am afraid it will take a long time, and this time is the best time to attack Jiangdong."
"Mr. Shiyuan thinks that we should take the initiative to attack Jiangdong?" Pang Tong's words, Liu Feng was a little moved, because of the influence of the memory of his previous life, Liu Feng always thought that Sun Quan, who had been in Jiangdong for three lifetimes, was by no means an easy target, and today I heard Pang Tong's words, plus Zhou Yu Lu Su and others also left in discouragement, so that Liu Feng re-acquainted Jiangdong and Sun Quan in his mind.
"With the current strength of the lord, if Sun Quan can cross the Xiangshui with a large army without Sun Quan noticing, it is not impossible to seek Jiangdong, but now there is a plan, which can not be so laborious for the lord."
Pang Tong's words, listening to the ears of those Yizhou generals, were like a golden rule, as if opening windows for them, and they all had an illusion in their hearts, that is, with Pang Tong, as if they could capture it no matter where they wanted to attack.
"What's the plan?"
"A plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf?"
"What is a tiger and a wolf?"
"Zhuge Kongming is a tiger, Sun Zhongmou is a wolf, I have already discussed with Lu Su and others in Jingzhou, and with a little strategy, I can make Zhuge Liang, who is already coveting Jiangdong's easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack land, to capture Jiangdong, and Jiangdong has a deep foundation, once Zhuge Liang decides to capture Jiangdong, he will definitely act secretly, and at that time, if our army can get the news, then the big thing can be done!"
Pang Tong briefly explained this plan, although many Yizhou generals heard it in a fog, but Liu Feng knew that this was because Pang Tong was afraid that he would leak the news in advance, and he must have a more detailed plan, but he didn't want to say it in public.
After saying this, Liu Feng changed the topic to other places, said a few words, and dismissed everyone, and then only Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were left, and a banquet was scheduled to be held in Liu Feng's mansion at sunset, which was regarded as a reception for Pang Tong.
Besides, Zhuge Liang was repelled by the nearly 100,000 troops of Cao Pi and Zhang Liao in Runan, although he preserved eighty percent of his troops, but he did not achieve his original idea of gaining a firm foothold in Runan.
In the past few months, Zhuge Liang can be described as a bamboo basket to draw water, although he temporarily preserved the land of Shangyong and cut off the possibility of Liu Feng from Shangyong to attack Xiangyang, but at the same time, he also lost a peerless general like Zhao Yun, so calculated, Zhuge Liang actually knew that he suffered a big loss in this matter.
After returning to Xiangyang from Jiangxia, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei rested in Xiangyang for more than ten days, and in these ten days, what others don't know is that Zhuge Liang stood in front of the map of the Central Plains in the house every night and thought about something, and there was no trace of relaxation between the eyebrows. Time is running out for him.
Finally, on this day, a person carried a letter to Zhuge Liang's house, silently left the letter and then retreated, Zhuge Liang read the letter, and through the candle flame to put his eyes on the land of Jiangdong adjacent to Jiangxia, his eyes flashed slightly.
The next day, Zhuge Liang summoned Zhang Fei, Mi Fang, Mi Zhu and other generals to one place, and discussed for two or three hours before dispersing, and Zhang Fei's face showed his long-lost excitement again.
