Zhuge Liang glanced at Xu Shu, and Xu Shu nodded. Zhuge Liang got up and knelt down towards Liu Bei, and Xu Shu also knelt down.

"Two military advisors, who are you?" Liu Bei asked puzzled.

"Lord, Liang wants to ask the lord to personally lead the army to Changsha, Liang heard that Lu Su is also a talented person in Jiangdong, if he invades Changsha with Zhu Ran, it will definitely be difficult to deal with."

Liu Bei was stunned and said: "If I leave Jiangxia, if Ma Hong is really in Jingzhou, he will definitely attack Jiangxia County." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "What I'm afraid of is that he won't attack Jiangxia County, but go to fight somewhere else, so I invited the lord to Changsha." ”

Liu Bei's thinking can't keep up with Zhuge Liang, but he believes that Zhuge Liang, if it weren't for Zhuge Liang, he would not have been able to take Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu are the top strategists, it is because of them that he occupied Jingzhou, and now Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu think that it is right, then he must not be wrong.

"Good! I personally went to guard Changsha, so who will follow me to guard Changsha? ”

"Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, two brothers, as well as Chen Zhi and Yi." Zhuge Liang said.

"So who guards Nanyang?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang looked at Xu Shu on the side, he knew that he couldn't finish the words alone, Xu Shu glanced at Zhuge Liang and said, "Lord, I think Nanyang should be guarded by Senior Brother Zhuge and Liu Fenggongzi." ”

"Then our back will be handed over to Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun and Wen Ping will guard the Jingling in Jiangxia County." Liu Bei said.

"The last general will not fail in his mission." Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.

"Brother, I want to ask my eldest son Guan Ping to guard Jingling with Zilong, Guan Ping already has my eight-point martial arts, and I will definitely be able to help Zilong, and I have Liao Hua and Zhou Cang on my side, which is enough." Guan Yu said.

Guan Yu has always been arrogant, and he is not too modest to speak, but Zhuge Liang heard Guan Yu's words a little more modest, Guan Ping has already said eight points of Yu martial arts, Guan Yu obviously paused when he said this, and said a little lower about martial arts, it should be said that one point lower, this Guan Ping is now at least about Yu Jiucheng's martial arts.

"Good!" Liu Bei nodded.

Ten days later, Xiangyang.

Ma Hong learned that Liu Bei was stationed in Changsha in person, so he discussed countermeasures with Liu Ye, Yang Yi, Zhang He, and the three again, and Zhang Wei stood behind Ma Hong to listen to the plan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the plan always can't catch up with the changes, this Liu Bei personally led the army to Changsha, how should we deal with it?" Ma Hong asked.

Zhang He, who is known as a clever change in history, took the lead in speaking: "My lord, Zhang He thinks that Liu Bei has left Jiangxia County, so Jiangxia must be empty now, and we can take this opportunity to attack Jiangxia." ”

Ma Hong looked at Zhang He, thought about Zhang He's life, and was indeed a little bitter, when he persuaded Yuan Shao to rescue Wuchao, Yuan Shao disagreed, and adopted Guo Tu's suggestion; In Cao Cao's camp, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition withdrew, Sima Yi ordered Zhang He to chase, Zhang He said that he couldn't chase, Sima Yi let Zhang He pursue, and then Zhang He was hit by an arrow in the knee.

Yang Yi opened his mouth at this time and said, "Seconded." ”

The corners of Ma Hong's eyes twitched when he saw Zhang He, eh, Zhang He didn't expect Yang Yi to agree with him! It is the first time to be so recognized by others, Zhang He must be very happy!

"Well, Clever Strategy."

Ma Hong said, in fact, what is the best idea of this, this is what Ma Hong decided, since Zhang He proposed it, then praise you.

When Zhang He saw that he was praised by Ma Hong, he immediately said: "My lord, I suggest that General Huang Zhong lead an army to harass Nanyang, and General Pang De will lead the cavalry regiment into Nanjun and concentrate his forces to attack Jiangxia. ”

Ma Hong said: "What does General Zhang mean, is Nanyang doing a feint?" ”

Zhang He nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

In fact, this was also discussed by Ma Hong and Liu Ye in advance, and now Zhang He has mentioned it, which shows that this strategy is still quite effective, and Zhang He's ability is still okay, but it is ......

"General Zhang's plan, I have already discussed it with the lord." Liu Ye said.

Yang Yi laughed and said, "It's really a hero's vision!" ”

Ma Hong and Liu Ye didn't laugh, they already vaguely felt that something was wrong, Ma Hong, Liu Ye, and even Zhang He were determined that this strategy was feasible, so what they thought of, Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang must also think of it, if Zhuge Liang also saw this, then a small number of troops in Nanyang would be arranged in Jiangxia, and a large number of troops would not be so easy to attack Jiangxia.

"What we can think of, Zhuge Liang can also think of, it seems that we have to improve our strategy." Liu Ye put his right hand on his left hand, and tapped the back of his left hand with his right index finger and said.

Ma Hong nodded and said: "To deal with Zhuge Liang, you can't take the ordinary road, either take risks, or go strange." Because we are short of troops, once the war starts, there will be a decisive victory or defeat within three months, and we can't drag it out, otherwise not to mention whether the grain and grass can support the war on the two fronts, if Cao Cao in the north intervenes again, the situation will become bad; In addition, Sun Quan didn't know what variables there would be, so this move was strange. ”

"Then think about it from another perspective, everyone, if you are Zhuge Liang, in order to prevent our army from raiding Jiangxia County, where will you fortify."

Liu Ye's fingers brushed over the map on the table.

Everyone thought for a while, Zhang He pointed his finger at Jingling City, and said: "The last general thinks that this Jingling must be heavily guarded, this Jingling is the gateway to Jiangxia County, once lost, we can launch a full-scale attack on Jiangxia County." ”

"Okay." Liu Ye took a soybean and put it in Jingling City, which was marked on the map.

"Yundu City." Yang Yi said.

Liu Ye nodded and said: "The geographical location of Yundu City is also extremely important, once it is lost, the army can reach Xiling in one day." ”

At this time, Zhang Wei, who was standing behind Ma Hong, spoke: "I think Shaxian City is also very important, now Guan Yu leads the army to Exian County to block Zhou Yu, once Shaxian City is occupied, Guan Yu will suffer from the enemy on his back." ”

Ma Hong smiled slightly, Liu Ye looked at Zhang Wei with appreciation, took out two soybeans and put them in the two positions of Yundu City and Shaxian City.

"Now, the geographical location of these three cities is very important, but the importance between them has to be sorted out in an order, that is, the importance of Jingling City is greater than that of Shaxian City, and the importance of Shaxian City is greater than that of Yundu City. So if Zhuge Liang is defending, the deployment of troops in these three cities will definitely be according to the degree of importance. ”

Everyone nodded, Ma Hong smiled slightly, and motioned for Liu Ye to continue. Liu Ye pressed the soybeans on the top of Jingling City with his fingers, and then spoke: "You must have heard the story of Tian Ji's horse race, we will attack Jingling City with the least number of troops first, but we must make a big move, involve the army of Jingling, and make them think that we are going to storm Jingling; Then use an army to attack Yundu City, so that the enemy thinks that our real target is Yundu City, at this time, if the strategy is successful, then it will definitely attract their attraction to Yundu City, then our elite soldiers and horses should take a boat from the state tomb of Nanjun along the Yangtze River to Shaxian, break Shaxian in the shortest time, and then leave a small number of soldiers and horses to defend the city, the lord will continue to advance to the direction of Exian, and Zhou Yu will attack Echeng. ”

Ma Hong smiled: "Wonderful strategy, wonderful strategy." ”

All the generals praised Liu Ye's strategy.

Ma Hong saw that everyone agreed, so he said: "Since this is the case, then first Liu Ye, Zhang He, and the two of you will lead an army of 5,000 to attack Jingling City, so that Zhuge Liang thinks that the commander of Nanjun is attacking Jingling, and will definitely strengthen the defense of Jingling, and then Pang De will lead the cavalry regiment to attack Yundu, Yundu City is small, and the cavalry regiment can be broken with a touch, and then Pang De will lead the army to march towards Liu Bei's old nest Xiling City, forcing the main force left in Xiling City to lead the army to meet it, and I personally led the naval army to Shaxian and attacked Guan Yu with Zhou Yu. ”

"My lord, what about me?" Yang Yi said.

"You have a more important task." Ma Hong said.

"What task?"

"You and Huang Zhong led the naval army down the Yangtze River, straight to Changsha, Huang Zhong is most familiar with the terrain of Changsha, you use the military division to assist him to take Changsha, remember that our first three ways of war attack, in the final analysis, are just to hold the garrison of Jiangxia, and you and Huang Zhong's task is the most arduous, is the focus of this plan." Ma Hong said.

"Rest assured, Yang Yi will live up to his mission."

Ma Hong knew that when he suddenly appeared in Shaxian, he would definitely attract Zhuge Liang's key care, so he would be the bait! Abandon harassment of Nanyang, and concentrate all forces on the battlefields of Jiangxia County and Changsha County.
