Liang County.

The army led by Sun Ce, Duke of Wu, had already arrived in Liang County, and looking at the seven counties of Jingzhou that were fertile for thousands of miles, Sun Ce, Zhuge Liang and others suddenly turned green.

Compared with Jiangdong and Jiaozhou, Jingzhou can be said to be a paradise on earth, even if it was plagued by Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, it is still difficult to hide its prosperity.

This made Wu Gongsun Ce and Zhuge Liang, who were eager to expand their strength, look at it, and at this moment, there was a big cake in front of them.

is tempting them, because as long as they get Jingzhou, it means that whether it is Wu Gong Sun Ce or Yue Gong Liu Bei, their strength is growing day by day.

It was out of this psychology that the Wuyuechu Three-Kingdom Alliance, which had reached Liang County, stopped moving forward and stopped.

Because only by expanding strength is the royal road to everything, especially Wu Gongsun Ce, he has a deeper understanding of this.

As the weakest of the seven kingdoms of the Central Plains, Wu Gongsun Ce's thirst for strength was far more urgent than anyone else's.

……

"Mr. Kong Ming, in your opinion, can this coalition army go north and defeat Qin Gong Yingfei in one fell swoop?"

Zhuge Liang is a person, he naturally noticed Sun Ce's desire for Jingzhou and his monstrous ambition from Sun Ce's recent actions.

The thought flickered, and he was silent for a while, Zhuge Liang deduced it in his heart, and then he said towards Wu Gongsun Ce.

"Don't hide it from Duke Wu, in this war, even if our army goes north and joins forces with Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat Qin Gong Yingfei."

Zhuge Liang's finger swiped on the map, glanced at Wu Gongsun Ce, and said.

"At this moment, Qin Gong Yingfei is defending according to Luoyang Jiancheng, even if he can't hold on, he can retreat to Hangu Pass."

"Hangu Pass has been known as the world's first male pass since ancient times, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is a great deal of time when the pass is not open, the former Great Qin Empire relied on this pass, with its own strength to make the six countries of Kanto stop."

"With Qin Gong Yingfei personally leading an army of 100,000 to garrison Hangu Pass, I'm afraid that no one in the world can break it."

……

Sun Ce is decisive with his soldiers, good at taking the sword sideways, and his personality is even more daring.

But as the king of a country, his vision is still good, and he can naturally see that all this that Zhuge Liang said can happen.

The thought flickered in his heart, and Wu Gongsun Ce was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but face Zhuge Liang and said.

"Kong Ming, in your opinion, what should our army do next?"

Along the way, Wu Gongsun Ce had already seen Zhuge Liang's horror, and he naturally relied on him at this time.

"Duke Wu, continue to go north, but to seize Luoyang and a few other counties, our army's 100,000 army is pointing at the world, how to divide the spoils with King Zhao when the time comes."

Although Zhuge Liang is young, his knowledge is far beyond his age, when the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks were equally famous, and the reputation was all over Jingzhou, but at this moment, the Phoenix Chicks Pang Tong had already been famous all over the world.

Although he is a military division of the Yue Gong, compared to Pang Tong's monstrous power, he is still only a drop in the bucket.

This naturally made the young Zhuge Liang unconvinced, because he thought that his talent was not weaker than Pang Tong.

……

The thought flickered in his heart, and a cold color flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes, and he said towards Wu Gongsun Ce.

"Instead of going north to face Qin Gong Yingfei and compete with Zhao King Lu Bu for several counties, it is better to attack the east and west, and continue to go north with a large army holding the banner of the army."

"At the same time, our army quickly moved south, took Xiangyang directly, and joined forces with Hou Cheng and other Zhao troops, breaking through the 150,000 Qin army in one fell swoop, and then carving up the entire Jingzhou."

……

"Boom ......"

His eyes flickered, and a gleam of light flashed in Wu Gongsun Cehu's eyes, and his heart couldn't help but shake.

His eyes fell on the map, and Sun Ce was full of horror and admiration for Zhuge Liang's plan.

"Kong Ming, the soldiers are divided into two routes, and they will go south to attack the Qin army outside Xiangyang City, how sure are you?"

Sun Ce knew in his heart who the generals of the Qin army outside Xiangyang City were, whether it was Wei Liang, Pang Tong, or even Zhou Yu.

Everyone is a great talent in the world, especially in the use of soldiers, everyone is a soldier everyone, and he can be called the commander of the world.

Because of this, Sun Ce was worried in his heart, and couldn't help but ask Zhuge Liang.

"Duke Wu, whether it is Wei Liang, Pang Tong, or Zhou Yu, these three people are all geniuses who are no less than foreign ministers, and this battle may not be easy."

"But I think that in the face of Qin Gong Yingfei's sharpness, the foreign minister thinks that in the face of Wei Liang and the others, I am afraid it will be easier, at least there is no need to worry about the danger of annihilation of the whole army."

……

Hearing this, Wu Gong Sun Ce was shocked in the depths of his heart, but he knew that Qin Gong Yingfei's use of troops was like an antelope hanging its horns without a trace, and it seemed to be at a disadvantage at the moment, which may not be an illusion.

Once the situation in Luoyang City is an illusion, it means that this war is a shocking situation laid out by Qin Gong Yingfei.

If you lead your army north, I am afraid that you will die without a place to be buried.

The thought flickered in his heart, and Wu Gongsun Ce took a deep look at Ji Ling and said.

"General Ji, you will lead an army of 30,000 from Liang County and march towards Luoyang in the name of Lone, just control the speed of the march, don't rush to Luoyang as fast as possible."

"No."

Ji Ling, as the number one general of the Chu State, coupled with the fact that Wu Gongsun Ce did not avoid him in a series of conversations just now, Ji Ling naturally knew what Wu Gongsun Ce meant.

Before going north this time, they had made a bloody alliance, and even Yuan Shao, the Duke of Chu, told him to obey the orders of Sun Ce, the Duke of Wu.

Because of this, Ji Ling did not refute Wu Gongsun Ce, but nodded and agreed.

……

The reason why Ji Ling agreed to come down was because doing so would not affect his interests, and going north meant that this Chu army would not go to war.

If you don't participate in the war, you can participate in the division of interests after the war, only at the cost of 20,000 troops, Ji Ling feels that this deal is extremely cost-effective.

……

"Duke Wu, Ji Ling took away 30,000 troops alone, so that our army only has 70,000 left, even if you go south, I am afraid you will not be able to crush the Qin army with overwhelming force!"

At this moment, Zhuge Liang had a trace of worry in his eyes, and there was a trace of anger in his expression when he looked at Wu Gong Sun Ce.

"Haha......"

Laughing softly, in the opinion of Wu Gongsun Ce, although Zhuge Liang, the military division of the Yue Kingdom, was talented and capable, he was too young.

So that I don't have enough experience and don't see far enough in some things.

……

The thought flickered in his heart, and Wu Gongsun Ce's laughter stopped abruptly, and he smiled slightly at Zhuge Liang, who showed a disgruntled expression, and said.

"Kong Ming, if you don't divide 30,000 troops, not only will the army going north not be strong, but at the same time, you won't be able to convince Ji Ling."

"Only by persuading Ji Ling that we divide our troops this time can we succeed, and at the same time, only this army going north can we hide from the all-pervasive Qin State spies."
