Back in Fancheng, Zhuge Liang, who came to greet him, was standing on the city gate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"You have worked hard, blame me for underestimating a hexagram, otherwise General Zhang would have gone to the rescue earlier." Zhuge Liang saw us coming back and came down from the city gate to greet us.
"The military division does not have to be like this, this operation is our responsibility, and we are still grateful to the military division and General Zhang for coming to the rescue." Zhao Yun dismounted and knelt down to thank him.
Looking at the dozen or so people who came back, Zhou Cheng felt very uncomfortable, and there were only four people left who defected to Liu Bei together. You all have a reward, and General Liu has prepared a banquet waiting for you.
Our soldiers were carried into Fancheng, and my heart was very heavy at the end.
"What's wrong with Qiansheng?" Ripple asked me.
"Nothing." I shook my head at the ripples, not wanting to say anything.
"Don't you want to hide it from me, are you still sad for the soldiers who died in battle?" Ripple said.
"Definitely, but it occurred to me that it didn't seem realistic to bring their bones back at the time." I'm a little lost.
"What Qiansheng said is extremely true." I looked up and found that Zhuge Liang had not left, but was listening to my conversation with Ripple in place.
"Ripples, you go back first, I have something to say to the military advisor." Ripple followed his brother into the city.
"Qiansheng, do you want to bury the soldiers for a good life?" Zhuge Liang waved a feather fan and looked at our way back. There are still a little blood stains and horses' hooves on the road, and they all look a little desolate. "It happened to be a troubled time, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and I just want to live a dull life." Zhuge Liang continued.
"What does the Strategist think now?" I asked.
"I don't know how to say it, but I just want to complete my three-legged blueprint for Cao Cao, Sun Quan and the lord in Longzhong, and half of the hegemony was carried out at that time, and it is estimated that it will be much more stable." Zhuge Liang sighed again and again.
"What if you can't complete the hegemony?" I had the courage to ask Zhuge Liang, because I knew the historical results, but I was very worried that Zhuge Liang would kill me.
"Qiansheng, what you said is actually what I'm worried about." I didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be so calm. "Cao Cao and Sun Quan have many strategists around them, in fact, they are not much worse than me, I can't count them alone after all, so I can only take advantage of the present to speed up the planning of the blueprint."
"What is the reason why the military advisor asked us to assassinate Liu Cong, but did not capture Jingzhou City?" I asked.
"I can smell it." Zhuge Liang turned to me. "Liu Cong has dedicated Jingzhou to Cao Cao, if you occupy Jingzhou, it will be equivalent to occupying Cao Cao's territory, which will directly lead to a confrontation between us and Cao Cao, at that time our forces are scattered, how can we resist it?" Zhuge Liang said.
is worthy of being a military advisor, and he really thinks more deeply than me, and I listened carefully.
"Strategist, we haven't said it yet, how do you know?" I asked.
"After you went to Jingzhou, I heard in Fancheng that Cao Cao had marched to Wancheng and Xinye, Cao Cao dared to take this move, he must have completely captured Jiangxia, Liu Cong was a coward, and he must have donated Jingzhou." Zhuge Liang analyzed.
"Zhuge Liang sent troops to Xinye and Wancheng?" I suddenly remembered that after Liu Cong sacrificed Jingzhou, Cao Cao went straight to Fancheng, which was destined to destroy Liu Bei's mind.
"Cao Cao's mind is weird, we just beat Jingzhou and he marched to Fancheng, the only way is for the entire army to march to Jiangling, and to go south is to go to Dangyang, but the remnants of Xu Hong in Jingzhou are indispensable." Zhuge Liang said.
If Cao Cao crossed the river and went to Jingzhou, he was afraid that he would not be able to win here, so he chased after him, and it seemed that Zhuge Liang was quite accurate. However, I think this is like setting yourself on fire, just saying that the historical plot is different from the historical facts I know, and now I know Cao Cao's route, but Liu Bei still hasn't evacuated yet.
"What about the people of Fancheng?" I asked.
"In my opinion, it's best to take them all." Zhuge Liang said, looking at the people around him.
"This is also, but has the military advisor ever thought about this way......" I pondered the content of the ancient book and replied to Zhuge Liang.
"Qiansheng said, I know everything that there are so many people and too few troops, I'm afraid it won't be enough." Zhuge Liang sighed twice, there is no way to do it, sometimes you have to give it a go.
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he was about to leave, but I hurriedly stopped him.
"Strategist, how can the dead soldiers ......" Before I could speak, Zhuge Liang interrupted me.
"Don't worry, I have already instructed some soldiers to go and recover some of the remains, and some of them cannot be recovered for the time being." Zhuge Liang was also helpless.
"After recovering Jingzhou one day, can we build a cemetery in the place of battle?" I asked Zhuge Liang.
"Reasonable, the cadres are fully responsible!" Zhuge Liang left after explaining.
When I walked to the barracks, my mind was still full of bloody battle pictures, no wonder when Brother Zhou taught me at that time, he asked me not to beat people to death, it seems that I am afraid I have also experienced these things.
But now my worst fear finally came, Cao Cao came towards Fancheng, according to the poetry book, I was about to follow Liu Bei to flee for my life. I thought that I was really pitiful, I didn't have a good life in the Three Kingdoms for a few days, I either fought and killed or ran for my life, and I almost died a few times, which is a little scary to think about. However, thinking that Xu Hong, a thief, was not dead, a wave of anger rose in his heart.
"Qiansheng, what are you doing?" Ripples walked in.
"Didn't do anything, why did you come here?" I looked at the ripples, and she was still holding something.
"Guess what!" Ripple said quirkily.
"Don't guess, you can say it." I lay on the ground, motionless.
"You are really boring, I kindly sent you snacks, but you don't appreciate it." Ripple looked a little unhappy.
"No, no, sit down!" When I heard that there was a dessert, I sat up and saw what was delicious, and I couldn't stand eating some whole grains every day.
"Na, this is what Sister Lian'er and I bought on the street, don't you like to eat bean paste steamed buns, I also bought some." Ripple took one out and put it in the palm of my hand.
"How do you know I like to eat?" I looked at the ripples suspiciously.
"Sister Lian'er told me." Ripple himself sat down and ate.
It seems that I have the same eating pleasure as me in this era, I smiled slightly and took a big gulp.
"Delicious!" I say.
"That's a lot of food!" Eat too much and have the strength to protect me! Ripple said.
"Not only to protect you, but also to many others." I felt a little high-spirited, and my body and blood were hot.
"Then you have to work harder." Ripples looked straight at me, with a lot of expectations in their eyes that I couldn't tell.
There are more and more guards in Fancheng, and Cao Cao must be getting closer and closer, and he doesn't know what it will be like when he wakes up.
