The pain from the arrow wound in the chest made Ma Hong have to believe that he was really defeated, defeated, and defeated, the first battle, with Huang Zu's bloody battle against Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, defeated, that was after Ma Hong was not so painful, although he was defeated, but he lost not his own family, it was Liu Biao's, but this time he was defeated, he lost so many soldiers, and he lost the guard Li Mo and two generals, if it weren't for Liu Ye to see that he might be in danger, Ma Hong would have died under Zhao Yun's knife!

His fingers pressed his eyebrows tightly, Ma Hong thought seriously, where did he lose, did Zhuge Liang see through all his schemes? Could it be that he is a human being in two lives, with the technology and knowledge of a thousand years later, plus the generals and strategists, he is not Zhuge Liang's opponent?

No way! Ma Hong said secretly in his heart! It's absolutely impossible! Unless! Unless the intelligence is leaked, Zhuge Liang knew that he was coming to Xiangyang from the beginning. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info from which point did it start to leak? Is there a mole?

Sun Quanfang and Ma Hong's side!

Sun Quan was anxious to take Jingzhou and mobilized an army of 50,000, he would definitely not do this for the sake of pitting Ma Hong, even if Sun Quan wanted to trap Ma Hong, but Ma Hong did not tell Sun Quan about his tactics of attacking Shaxian, so Sun Quan's side was not established.

So is the problem on my side? Ma Hong said secretly.

From the very beginning, only Pang Tong, Liu Ye, Gan Ning, Yang Yi, Zhang Wei, Zhang He, Huang Zhong, Pang De, and Li Yu knew that Ma Hong went to Xiangyang in person.

Except for Zhang He and Pang De, the rest of these people are cronies who have followed Ma Hong from the beginning and are the most trustworthy, and Zhang He's desperate efforts to save Ma Hong can also be excluded, so the only one left is Pang De.

Then went to Xiangyang, before Ma Hong went to war, the low-level officers, even including Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi and Ma Wan, did not know that Ma Hong came to Xiangyang, but on the eve of the attack on Shaxian, Ma Wan and Cheng Yi knew that Ma Hong had come to Xiangyang, and Ma Hong announced the strategy of attacking Shaxian.

According to this arrangement, even if Ma Play and Cheng Yi were spies, even if they notified Liu Bei, Liu Bei did not have enough time to arrange troops in Shaxian.

But Pound participated in the most important meeting from the beginning, as the commander of the cavalry corps, he was aware of Ma Hong's strategy, if Pound informed Liu Bei at the beginning, then there was a reason why Ma Hong was so badly defeated.

"Could it be that I used poison tricks to force Ma Teng to death, and forced Ma Chao to death, Pound wants to avenge them?"

"But now Pound is the commander of my cavalry corps, if there is no evidence, suspect him, once he mutinies, he will be very controlled."

Ma Hong was entangled in his heart, he had already returned to Jiangling with the remnants of the army for twelve days, and let Liu Ye serve as the commander of the attack on Jiangxia. And he recuperated in Gangneung for a long time. Just when Ma Hong was suspicious of Pang De, Liu Ye came with the news that Pang De led the cavalry to burn down the village when he met Feng Xi's army, and Pang De personally killed Feng Xi, killed all the 2,000 foot soldiers brought by Feng Xi, and brought back Feng Xi's head.

Ma Hong patted his head and laughed at himself: I really think too much, if Pound was a spy, he wouldn't do it.

"Am I just making excuses for failure?"

"Am I just making excuses for being inferior to Zhuge Liang?"

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, as the head of the people, I can't just doubt my subordinates anymore."

"If it weren't for that, I'm afraid I'd have wronged Pound, it's really dangerous."

Ma Hong lay on the bed, muttered to himself, and after speaking, he began to laugh, laughing and laughing and shedding tears.

Changsha.

Zhu Ran and Lu Su led 15,000 people to break through Liling five days ago, and the troops came to Linxiang City, the capital of Changsha County, and Liu Bei personally guarded Linxiang City.

"General Zhu, it seems that Liu Bei is going to defend Linxiang City."

I saw a general in light armor walking in from outside the tent, the man was about thirty years old, with a long beard, a slender figure like a benchmark, a healthy complexion of wheat color, shaved eyebrows, a high nose bridge, thin but tight lips, a pair of kind eyebrows, and a kind eye, he had a bookish atmosphere that even the armor on his body could not hide.

Zhu Ran saw Lu Su coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Lu Su and said, "What the military advisor said is very true. ”

"The method of besieging the city, ten times the siege, five times the attack, but our current army is only 15,000 people, Liu Bei's garrison in Linxiang is at least 6,000 people, and in the rest of the counties, Liu Bei also has garrisons, which can come to help at any time, if we forcibly attack the city, it is obviously difficult to break through." Lu Su said.

Zhu Ran nodded and said, "Since Liu Bei has come to Changsha, then if it can't be broken!" We can just drag him down and create opportunities for Zhou Yu and Ma Hong in Jiangxia. ”

Lu Su sighed and said: "It's a pity that bad news came from Jiangxia, Ma Hong's sneak attack on Shaxian failed, and he almost lost his life in Shaxian, was seriously injured by Zhao Yun, and now retreated to Jiangling." ”

Zhu Ran shuddered, looked directly at Lu Su and said, "How is it possible?" Did Senior Brother Ma fall into the scheme? ”

Lu Su nodded and said: "It is indeed a plan, it was locked in Shaxian City by Zhao Yun, and the fifteen thousand sailors were wiped out in that battle, and now I am afraid that there is not much combat power." ”

Zhu Ran frowned, took a sip of the water on the dining table, and said slowly: "When I was studying at Shuijing Villa, the teacher said that Senior Brother Ma is an all-rounder and knowledgeable, but I didn't expect him to lose, and he lost so badly. ”

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, although Ma Hong is capable, but in the final analysis, he is still a person, as long as he is a person, there are mistakes, Zhuge Liang is a brother, he should be very familiar with his person, a real wise man, when you are familiar with a person, you can imitate his character and means, and deduce what he will do next." Lu Su said.

Zhu Ran nodded and said, "The teacher also said that among our nine students, Senior Brother Zhuge is the strongest in resourcefulness, and Senior Brother Zhuge is also the strongest in formation, it seems that it is really true." ”

"Zhuge Liang will be my great enemy of Dongwu in the future."

"Senior Brother Ma, Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Yang, the three of them joined forces and lost to Senior Brother Zhuge and Xu Shu. Zhou Yu is still being blocked by Guan Yu in Echeng, is it possible that we will work hard this time to rejuvenate the people, and we will return in vain? ”

Zhu Ran sighed and said, this is his first time as the commander, this time the attack on Jingzhou is also planned by him, if it fails, he will lose the lord's sister, spend money, food and the art of war, but he can't recapture a county from Jingzhou. I'm afraid that when I return to Jiangdong, I will inevitably suffer a plague of tongues.

"General Zhu, don't be so pessimistic, although Ma Hong was defeated, he did not withdraw the army, he ordered Liu Ye to continue to attack Jiangxia as the commander, I think he has a back-up move!" Lu Su said.

"I hope that Senior Brother Ma will have a follow-up move, rather than to keep my promise and lead troops to continue to die."

Zhu Ran smiled bitterly.

Just then, the guards came to report! said that it was a messenger from outside, claiming to be Yang Yi's entourage. Zhu Ran hurriedly asked the messenger to enter the account, the messenger took out the letter, Zhu Ran saw Yang Yi's handwriting and Yang Yi and his code, and after reading the content of the letter, his frowning brows dispersed.

"Go back and tell your master, and say so-and-so is ready." Zhu Ran said to the messenger.

After the messenger retreated, Lu Su asked puzzledly, "General Zhu, why are you so happy?" ”

"Read the letter." Zhu Ran handed the letter to Lu Su.

After reading the letter, Lu Su frowned and said, "This is really good." ”
