Chapter 150: Strategy
PS: Work hard to code words! Ask for a ticket!
In the first battle of Jiangling, a total of 1,200 men and horses under the command of Guan Yu, Wei Yan and Xu Shu were almost wiped out, but fortunately, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong led the army to come to the rescue, which saved Jiangling.
Looking at the map, Jiangling is like a wedge, embedded between Jingbei and Jingnan, and Cao Cao did not order anyone to forcibly take Jiangling, which has actually proved that he abandoned Jingnan.
And Liu Bei rushed to Jiangling from Jiangxia, which shocked the entire Jingnan!
Gangneung Fortress.
On the top of the main hall, Liu Bei sat on the top, and the next cadre was on both sides.
Liu Bei spoke first: "Yuan Zhi, let's briefly introduce the situation here." ”
Xu Shu shook his head: "Lord, Cao Ren was ordered to garrison Xiangyang, and he hung up the war-free card every day no matter how he scolded, but he didn't see it, and the same is true for Cao Hong." ”
"What else did you do?"
"Shu once set up a plan to encircle the point to send reinforcements, ordered General Zilong to lead 15,000 elite soldiers to attack Fancheng, and ordered Yide and General Hansheng to lead 5,000 people to ambush outside the city, but Cao Ren still died out of the city, and Fancheng was difficult to overcome."
"How much damage?"
"The casualties are more than 4,000 people."
Liu Bei waved his hand, signaled his resignation to say more, and snorted, with a hint of ridicule: "I didn't expect this Cao Hong to be really a thorn!" ”
Everyone immediately burst into laughter to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Xu Shu also smiled bitterly, in fact, he was still very grateful to his lord for taking care of his face, but defeat was defeat, there was nothing to say.
Liu Bei looked around at the civil and military forces, waved his hand and said, "I don't know what countermeasures you have?" ”
Tian Feng flashed out and arched his hand: "Lord! Cao Ren and Cao Hong brothers are really not afraid, but Xiangyang and Fancheng are high and deep. All kinds of city defense equipment are sufficient, and if they decide not to fight, and we have to attack strongly, it will inevitably cause great damage, which is not in my favor. ”
Liu Bei frowned and pondered, and hummed softly. Waving his hand, he said, "Yuan Hao, continue." ”
Tian Feng paused, and said: "It's better for us to wait for the siege without fighting, but I ordered a member of the general to lead 3,000 men and horses to the south to recover Jingnan, so that it will not delay Kuangfu to lose the land, but also consume the patience of the thief. ”
"But Yuan Hao," Liu Bei said to stop: "Have you ever considered the problem of troops?" Gangneung had only 20,000 troops in total. This time I lost another 4,000, and I brought back 20,000 troops from Jiangdong, so that a total of 36,000 men, besieging both Xiangyang and Fancheng, at least more than twice their troops, this is 36,000 men! How can I get the troops to conquer the four counties in the south? Once all the troops are dispatched, who will defend Nanjun? ”
PS: The Namgun-govern office is Gangneung, and Gangneung has been mentioned above. Actually, it's the South Gun.
Pang Tong behind Tian Feng flashed out and bowed: "Don't worry, lord!" In fact, we don't have a shortage of troops at all. ”
"Oh? How to say. ”
Pang Tong said: "Cao Ren and Cao Hong brothers decided to stick to it without fighting. Then he will not go out of the city, and the lord first ordered one person to lead 3,000 troops to the south of the county, attack the heart first, attack the city as the bottom, and take the county with the least casualties, so as to do so. There will be 20,000 horses in captives alone! ”
Kong Ming on his side also stepped forward and bowed: "When the lord is besieging Xiangfan, if the lord can use the banner of the Han clan in Jingzhou, supplemented by Liu Biao's fame, to recruit troops and horses, this will be another force." ”
Liu Bei heard this. The corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, these think tanks really didn't blow out, and they can really make a lot of effort at critical moments.
This time it activated the fighting spirit of the generals on the other side, especially that Zhang Fei, grinned wildly, stared at him, patted his chest and said: "Big brother!" Let me go, I'm suffocating for a while! ”
Zhao Yun also stood up, but as soon as he gave up his hand, he was stopped by Zhang Fei sharply: "Brother Zilong! Don't rob me, you are strong in martial arts, and you can fight well, so stay and help the lord keep an eye on Cao Ren in Xiangyang, like this kind of sweeping work, I Zhang Fei alone is enough to deal with it. What do you think? When it's over, I'll treat you to a drink. ”
"Yide" Liu Bei frowned, and his expression was quite strange.
"Big brother" Zhang Fei knew that he had no chance this time, but he was still a little unwilling, and said: "Big brother! I can do it."
"Yide! I know you can fight well, and with only four counties, you won't even need 3,000 men to get on the ground, but this battle has to be fought first."
Zhang Fei was anxious: "But"
Liu Bei directly interrupted: "It's nothing, it's unavoidable, when it's time to let you go, I will naturally let you go, and my brother will never favor one over the other." ”
Zhang Fei was unconvinced, but he didn't dare to disobey Liu Bei's intentions, so he had to turn around and mutter: "This is not favoritism, partiality!" What eccentricity! ”
Liu Bei groaned slightly, and ordered: "Where are Zilong and Han Sheng?" ”
The two flashed out: "The end will be!" ”
Liu Bei held the arrow in one hand and said, "Zilong! I ordered you to lead 3,000 men and horses to attack Wuling, and this battle should be based on attacking the heart, not disturbing the people, not killing people, and everything is based on pacification. ”
Zhao Yun arched his hand, took the arrow, and said, "Get the order!" ”
Liu Bei also instructed: "Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan is a Xiang Cao faction, but Gong Zhi under his command is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, this may be a breakthrough, Zilong remember." ”
Zhao Yun nodded: "Yun has written it down." ”
Liu Bei picked up another arrow and said, "Old General Huang! Order you to lead an army of 3,000 to Changsha. ”
Huang Zhong took the arrow and said sonorously: "Don't worry, lord. ”
Liu Bei also instructed: "Old General Huang! Your ancestral home is Changsha, and you have a lot of prestige in Changsha, and Changsha Taishou Han Xuan has always been tyrannical, and his general Yang Ling is your old friend, so I hope that this battle will be bloodless. ”
"Hmmm! I understand. ”
Huang Zhong retreated, Liu Bei's eyes fell on Kong Ming's head, and he said softly: "Kong Ming! ”
Zhuge Liang stood up and said, "My subordinates are here." ”
"After these two cities are settled, you still need to worry more."
Liu Bei's words were not thorough, but Zhuge Liang already understood.
"Don't worry, my lord, I'll take care of everything."
Liu Bei nodded: "I'm relieved to have you." ”
In fact, Liu Bei doesn't seem to use him too much since he got Zhuge Liang, compared to Luo Da's majestic style, this Kong Ming seems to be very low-key!
Liu Bei didn't dislike Kong Ming, but because he liked Kong Ming too much, so he deliberately suppressed it, because Kong Ming in history was almost tired to death.
Moreover, he was always a nanny management when he was prime minister, and he directly inserted it to the end, which made a big fault line in the internal talents of Shu Han, so that after he died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, there was an embarrassing situation in which Shu Han had no generals and Liao became a pioneer.
Liu Bei didn't want Kong Ming to be tired to death, and he didn't want his group to be unable to pick out a second person who could pick up the main beam except for Kong Ming, such a situation was not what he wanted to see, so this slightly curbed Kong Ming's development.
Make the best use of your talents and make the best use of things, which is what Liu Bei should really do!
Kong Ming's strength lies in internal politics, which Liu Bei knows very well, and if he is also placed in this position, Liu Bei will be very relieved, and judging from the current situation, Kong Ming does not have the slightest reluctance, but enjoys such a position. (To be continued......)
