Chapter 297: Picking Up a Big Fish

A fire in Ulin destroyed most of the ships of the imperial navy, and Sun Liu also used this as a reason to declare his victory. But the back road of the Sun-Liu coalition army was copied by the imperial court, so that the main force of the coalition led by Lü Meng and Zhuge Liang stayed on the north bank and was difficult to return, and the imperial court also used this as a reason to declare its victory.

There is no need to elaborate on the war between the two sides, the current situation is that the Sun-Liu coalition army is trapped on the north bank by the imperial army, but it is not easy for the imperial court to eat the Sun-Liu coalition army in one bite. Lu Meng and Zhuge Liang are not easy to follow, although they are in danger at this time, their fighting spirit is not gone, and they have started a guerrilla war with the imperial army with tens of thousands of horses in their hands.

At the same time, Sun Quan and Liu Bei are also actively trying to find a way to pick up their own people and horses to return safely. In the first battle of Chibi, it is difficult to say who won and who lost, the imperial court lost a large number of warships, but trapped the main force of the Sun-Liu coalition army, and although the Sun-Liu coalition army destroyed the necessary conditions for the imperial court to cross the river in a big way, but at the same time, it also put itself in.

In the face of the purging of the imperial army, Zhuge Liang and Lü Meng fought and walked, while Sima Yi, Pang Tong and others, who were ordered to pursue, approached from different directions step by step, constantly compressing the scope of activities of the Sun-Liu coalition army. At this time, the Sun-Liu coalition army lost a warship that could cross the river, and they did not carry enough grain and grass with them, so Zhuge Liang and Lü Meng had to choose to divide their troops to break through for the future of the army.

Originally, Zhuge Liang and Lu Meng also planned to destroy a few lone Han troops to replenish supplies, or defeat the attacking Han army in one fell swoop and then leave calmly. But the Han army didn't give Zhuge Liang and Lu Meng this opportunity, the Han army didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, no matter how the Sun and Liu coalition forces lured the enemy, the Han army always acted step by step, so that even if Zhuge Liang was resourceful, he didn't have a curse at this time.

Hard work can't be done, dry consumption can't be consumed, except for breaking through, Zhuge Liang and Lu Meng have no other choice. After all, at this time, there is a shortage of medicine in the army, and if you delay for a moment, you will have less chance of a successful breakthrough.

At this time, Zhuge Liang and Lu Meng were already fully aware of the intentions of the Han army, and they were really willing to give up their capital, in order to lure themselves across the river, hundreds of large and small warships worth millions of guan said that they didn't want it, and they had to die of distress if they wanted to put themselves aside.

"Ziming, take care all the way." On the occasion of separation, Zhuge Liang and Lu Meng cherished each other. Breaking through the siege separately, Lü Meng went first, and Zhuge Liang led a part of the men and horses to set up a suspicious formation, and stayed in the camp to confuse the Han army. Lü Meng also knew that Zhuge Liang was left behind at this time, but in order to retain a little bit of the vitality of the Sun-Liu coalition army, Lü Meng did not object.

In the Sun-Liu coalition army, Sun Quan's Jiangdong people accounted for seventy percent, and the remaining thirty percent belonged to Liu Bei. If Lu Meng stayed, it meant that Jiangdong's men and horses would not move lightly, but in this way, even if Zhuge Liang got out of trouble safely, it would only keep three horses, which would not be of much benefit to the future war.

Zhuge Liang can't command the people and horses in Jiangdong, don't look at Sun and Liu uniting against the imperial court at this time, but whoever should be is who's, no one should easily step on that red line, and Jiangdong's people and horses will not obey Zhuge Liang's orders, even if there is Lu Meng's personal authorization, it will not work.

Zhuge Liang, who stayed in the camp, sent Lu Meng away, and then began to arrange, there were many things that he needed to do, not that he would not notice the movements of the Sun-Liu coalition army if he stayed in the camp honestly. Not long after Lü Meng left, Zhuge Liang ordered his men to launch a counterattack against the nearby Han army. Li Yan, Xing Daorong and others took the lead and caught the Han army off guard, but the Han army quickly stabilized its position.

"Active attack? Is the Sun and Liu coalition army ready to do a trapped beast fight? Sima Yi, who had been rewarded, frowned and muttered to himself. Pang Tong on the side thought for a moment and asked the people who came to report: "Is it Liu Bei's men or Sun Quan's men who took the initiative to attack our army this time?" ”

"Go back to the military division, look at the clothes that are Liu Bei's people."

"Have you ever seen Sun Quan's people?" Pang Tong asked.

"I haven't seen it."

“…… Shi Yuan, what do you think of? Sima Yi asked Pang Tongdao.

"Zhongda, it seems that Zhuge Liang wants to run." Pang replied to Sima Yi with a firm face.

"He wants to run?"

"Well, you are no stranger to Kong Ming, think about his habits, taking the initiative at this time is nothing more than trying to take the lead and make a fool of himself, so that I can't figure out his intentions, and then he can take the opportunity to slip away."

“…… But it is also possible that he deliberately exposed his flaws to lure me into pursuit, and he ambushed him halfway to intercept and kill our pursuers. Sima Yi thought about it and put forward a different view.

"It's possible, but I'm sticking to my opinion."

"In that case, then you and I will divide into two ways, you lead the troops to pursue, and I will respond later. I want to see how Kong Ming ambushes me and others. ”

"Huh...... Even if he has an ambush, he will not be able to eat and die, right? ”

"Those who know me, Shi Yuan."

"Phew! Take me to Lei Huanjing and say something nice. Pang Tong snorted and said angrily.

"Shiyuan, if you don't want to, then let's change. You are in charge of answering, and I am in charge of pursuing. ”

"Think beautifully, do you think I'm going to give you a lot of credit?"

"And what the hell do you want?"

"I pursue, you answer. By the way, by the way, inform the nearby friendly forces to speed up, it is best to intercept Kong Ming's way, and then I will see where he escapes. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid not, let's go after Kong Ming, we can't let Lu Meng escape. ”

"He can't escape, there is no boat, he swims back to Jiangdong with his men and horses?"

“…… It makes sense. ”

……

Things were as Zhuge Liang expected, Sima Yi and Pang Tong respectively led their troops to pursue him, but Zhuge Liang didn't expect Sima Yi and Pang Tong to put out a long snake formation, and the two armies were closely connected, and Zhuge Liang's plan to set up an ambush failed. Whether it is attacking the head or tail of the snake, it will quickly fall into encirclement, and directly attacking the middle section will attract a flanking attack from the front and back.

Zhuge Liang can only lead people to fight and retreat, whenever Pang Tong leads his troops to approach, Zhuge Liang can only leave a part of the men and horses to block the enemy, and he himself continues to retreat with most of the men and horses. But this method of survival with a broken tail is not a hundred tried-and-true methods, after leaving Xing Daorong, Bao Long, and Chen Ying in a row, Zhuge Liang will have Li Yan left alone under his hands, and then let Li Yan stay to block the enemy, and then Zhuge Liang can only go into battle shirtless.

Li Yan has always been a master of talent and pride, he does not have complete trust in Zhuge Liang like Xing Daorong, Bao Long and others, and obeys Zhuge Liang, just because Zhuge Liang's position is higher than himself. But at this life-and-death juncture, the level of the position has a purpose, and saving one's life is the most important thing.

did not give Zhuge Liang an order to leave a chance to block the enemy, Li Yan directly took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to Zhuge Liang and knocked Zhuge Liang unconscious with a blow, and then announced to the public that Zhuge Liang had fainted from overwork and took over the command of the soldiers and horses. At this time, this Liu Beijun except Zhuge Liang belonged to Li Yan's highest official position, and Li Yan spoke, so naturally no one dared to object.

Zhuge Liang never dreamed that he would be planted in the hands of his own people. Although Li Yan didn't want his life, he tied him to a horse like a cargo and fled for his life, which was also a great shame for Zhuge Liang. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was knocked out at this time, and Li Yan didn't have to worry that Zhuge Liang would play with him.

Taking over the command of the army, Li Yan left a group of men and horses to block the enemy without saying a word, and then continued to retreat with the remaining men and horses. And Pang Tong, who was blocked, was not in a hurry, he and Sima Yi already had a tacit understanding, when his soldiers and horses were blocked, Sima Yi behind him would speed up the march to pursue, and he would lead his men and horses to speed up after killing the enemy who was blocking Sima Yi. When Sima Yi was stopped again, he took on the task of pursuing the enemy again. The two took turns to fight, never giving Liu Beijun a chance to breathe, Li Yan took Liu Beijun all the way to escape, and when he finally couldn't run, there were only a few thousand people left who were still with Li Yan.

Fly separately when disaster comes! No one is stupid! At this time, anyone with a little brain knew that the chances of continuing to act with the army to get out of trouble smoothly were not high, so in addition to the people who were ordered to stay behind to block the enemy, more people took the opportunity to desert. At this time, people and horses are all moving in the forest, as long as people are not paying attention to the grass and trees, the people who are fleeing for their lives will basically not be aware of it.

By the time Li Yan finally realized that it was too late, the most important thing for Li Yan at the moment was how to get through the difficulties in front of him, not to find trouble with those deserters. Thousands of people, the army has already been discouraged after running all the way, even if Li Yan has the heart to organize a rebellion, it will not be able to reunite the people's hearts in a while.

Those who know the times are Junjie! To say that Liu Bei is obviously not as loyal as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Li Yan wanted to pay more attention to his own life, seeing that there was no hope of getting out of the predicament, Li Yan, who was unwilling to be loyal to Liu Bei, made a decision and led his troops to surrender to the Han army.

Knowing that you are invincible, why force it? Li Yan is not Liu Bei, Liu Bei is the lord, if he loses, he will die, even if Liu Xie does not kill Liu Bei, Liu Bei's future life will not be easy. And Li Yan is different, he is just a general, who to serve is not to serve, although it is unlikely that surrendering at this time will be reused by Liu Xie, but at least his life is saved, and with Li Yan's ability, even if he cannot enter the center of the court in the future, it is still not a big problem to enjoy the wealth that ordinary people can't enjoy.

Li Yan had no reason to fight the Han army at all, so he was not very resistant to surrendering. And at this time, he still has a big gift in hand, and it is conceivable that he will receive preferential treatment from the Han army.

Zhuge Liang became a prisoner of the Han army while he was in a coma. Looking at Zhuge Liang, who was unconscious, "old friend" Sima Yi asked the military doctor with some concern: "Doctor, this guy will be fine, right?" ”

"Please rest assured, the injured person only received a heavy blow to the back of the head, and did not hurt his life, and he will wake up naturally after a while."

As soon as the military doctor's words fell, Zhuge Liang groaned as if cooperating, and Sima Yi hurriedly leaned over to look. As soon as Zhuge Liang's eyes opened, he saw a big face appear in front of him, almost subconsciously, Zhuge Liang punched him, and he heard a scream of "oops", Sima Yi squatted on the ground with his injured left eye.

“…… How could I be here? Zhuge Liang sat up and looked around, as if asking himself and Sima Yi.

"Kong Ming, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it very much, it's always good?" Sima Yi stood up and greeted Zhuge Liang with a victorious attitude. The only regret is that Sima Yi's left eye is dark at this time, which affects his personal image somewhat.

"I'm captured?" Zhuge Liang looked at Sima Yi and asked.

"It's bad, the extremely smart Zhuge Kongming asked Li Yan to beat him stupid." Sima Yi deliberately exclaimed loudly.

“…… Li Zhengfang ...... "Zhuge Liang ignored Sima Yi, who was making a mistake, and sat on the couch and muttered to himself.

……

"Kong Ming, how much is this?" Pang Tong, who rushed to hear the news, raised two fingers and asked Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang was angry in his heart, although the two sides were hostile, but the experience of his classmates made Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi and others feel a bit of heroic sympathy. Seeing Pang Tong treat himself like a fool, Zhuge Liang was angry, and replied angrily: "Pang Shiyuan, don't want the villain to be ambitious!" ”

“…… Zhongda, Kong Ming is stupid? I also use idioms to curse people. Pang Tong turned his head to Sima Yi and said. Zhuge Liang was so angry that he rolled his eyes, and jumped down and planned to learn martial arts with Pang Tong. It's just that this is the camp of the Han army, Zhuge Liang is a prisoner rather than a guest, and he was pressed to the ground without even touching the corners of Pang Tong's clothes.

"Don't be rude!" Sima Yi waved his hand to let the guards retreat, and then squatted in front of Zhuge Liang's head lying on the ground and said: "Kong Ming, you and I are old friends, so I don't plan to embarrass you, and I hope you can be clear about your situation at this time." ”

"Don't be embarrassed." Pang Tong on the side added.

Zhuge Liang: "......"

Zhuge Liang, who had to calm down due to reality, got up from the ground and asked Sima Yi, "Where is Li Yan now?" ”

"Li Zhengfang is treated differently from you. You are a stubborn thief, and he is a descendant who forsakes darkness and turns to light. Do you want to meet him? Why did he abandon darkness and turn to light? I advise you to dispel this thought, so as not to get angry in vain. Sima Yi heard the words and persuaded Zhuge Liang.

"Everyone has his own ambitions, and he should not be forced. I don't ask why he surrendered to the court, I just ask why he suddenly poisoned me and made me a prisoner. Zhuge Liang gritted his teeth and said.

"Kong Ming, instead of thinking about this, it's better to think about the future." Sima Yi kindly reminded.

"Hmph, I'm Zhuge Kongming......"

"Stop, don't talk about it, we don't want to hear it, if there are any bold words, let's talk about it when we see the saint. For the sake of you and I who used to be classmates, I would like to remind you again, don't play personality with the saint, the saint is not Liu Xuande today, and I am not interested in playing with you as corporal Lixian. ”

"Hmph." Zhuge Liang snorted coldly again.

And Sima Yi saw that Zhuge Liang looked kind as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he didn't get angry with Zhuge Liang. He knows too well the temper of Liu Xie today, seeing Zhuge Liang like this, he will definitely have to suffer after meeting Liu Xie, and when he sees Zhuge Liang's miserable appearance, all his anger will disappear.
