Power is poison, the greater the right, the deeper the toxicity, when the territory is getting bigger and bigger, when you get more and more women, when you get more and more money, people are more and more difficult to learn to satisfy, now Ma Hong, want to get the whole world, a complete world, the world of the Han Dynasty, he wants ninety-nine.

Xiangyang, or that Xiangyang, Ma Hong walked into Liu Ye's mansion, Zhang Wei stood guard outside the door, not letting anyone approach, and Ma Hong began a conspiracy with Liu Ye.

"Senior brother, Sun Quan started a war against Liu Bei, and all we could do was a sneak attack, because most of the soldiers in Jingzhou were new recruits, and they had not been trained in war, so their combat effectiveness was not strong." Liu Ye said.

Ma Hong nodded and said, "I know this, the elite cavalry led by Pang De is our main combat force. ”

Liu Ye nodded and said: "Liu Bei's development is too fast, just like you in the past, his spearhead will be pointed at Xiangyang sooner or later, and we have to limit his growth." As the junior brother said, our main force now is in Yizhou, so Liu Bei will lower his precautions against us, once he neglects to take precautions, the sword will be inserted into his throat, if Liu Bei can be killed this time, he must not be disabled. ”

"What Senior Brother said is very right, my anger has been holding back for a long time, it's time to burn it."

"But you can only hit one blow, and if you miss one hit, it's better to withdraw." Liu Ye licked his upper lip and said.

When Ma Hong saw Liu Ye licking his lips, he knew that Liu Ye felt that the success rate of this plan was not very high, no matter how many, as long as it could hit Liu Bei hard, it would be excellent, and now Liu Bei needs someone to pour a basin of cold water on his head, just like when he was in Hanzhong, Liu Bei poured a basin of cold water on Ma Hong's head.

"Senior brother, do you mean to concentrate your forces and fight a little straighter?"

Ma Hong asked.

Liu Ye nodded and said, "No, I mean to give Liu Bei the hardest blow, so what do you think we have to attack Liu Bei, junior brother." ”

"How about taking Jiangxia directly and attacking Xiling?" Ma Hong asked.

Liu Ye licked his lower lip, then licked his upper lip and said, "My thoughts are a little different from my junior brother's thoughts. ”

"Oh? What does Senior Brother think? ”

Ma Hong asked.

Liu Ye smiled slightly: "My idea is that the navy army will go down the Yangtze River, enter Dongting Lake, land on the shore and take Changsha County directly, and control Changsha." Once Changsha is cut off, Liu Bei will not be able to think about it. ”

"The strategy is excellent, but Sun Quan invited us to attack Jiangxia and Nanyang, and he attacked Jiangxia and Changsha in two ways, besides, the navy, can there be warships?"

"Hehe, warship? I have been prepared for this, because I know that you will have a battle with Liu Bei sooner or later, and Liu Bei's generals Guan Yu, Zhang Qi, Zhao Yun and other generals are all good at land warfare, so in the past six months or so, I have secretly built twelve building ships, each of which can carry a thousand people. ”

Ma Hong nodded and said: "If you do this, this is excellent, but if you do this, we take Changsha, and Sun Quan attacks Jiangxia and Changsha, I think he attacks Jiangxia is auxiliary, and the main purpose is to take Changsha, and wants to take the four counties of Jingnan." ”

"I also expected this, so our naval army will infiltrate Changsha when the war has already started, and then after taking Changsha, discuss with Sun Quan that he will occupy half of Changsha, and we will occupy half of it, and then let Sun Quan attack Guiyang County, and we will attack Wuling County, I don't think Sun Quan will refuse." Liu Ye said.

Ma Hong pondered for a while, thought about the stakes, and then nodded and said: "Strategizing, winning thousands of miles away, Senior Brother Ziyang is really my son's room." ”

"The junior brother praised it falsely."

Liu Ye looked at Ma Hong, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Fourteenth year of Jian'an, April.

Zhou Yu led an army of 20,000 and sent the land and water armies to Exian County, Jiangxia County, together with Lü Meng and Han Dang.

Jiangxia County, Xiling.

Liu Bei heard that Zhou Yu led the army to attack, and hurriedly summoned Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others to discuss.

Zhuge Liang suggested that Guan Yu and Xu Shu lead the army to resist Zhou Yu.

After Guan Yu received the order, he said coldly: "Zhou Yu and a group of juniors also dare to invade my Jiangxia, and I Guan accepted Zhou Yu's head." ”

"Second brother, that Zhou Yu is a famous general in Jiangdong, you can't despise him."

"Big brother, you are too worried, Jiangdong is a group of rats, don't worry, Guan Yu feels that Liu Ye in Xiangyang may take advantage of this to almost make trouble at this time." Guan Yu stroked his long beard and squinted his eyes and said.

Xu Shu continued: "Ma Hong is in the south to conquer Yizhou, I'm afraid I don't have the energy to come to Jingzhou, and my senior brother Liu Ye has always been cautious, and the army in Xiangyang has many new soldiers, they have more than enough to defend the city, but not enough to attack." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Ma Hong's best thing is to seize the opportunity, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity, this time Jiangdong unilaterally declared war on us, if Zhu Ran conspired with Ma Hong in advance, I'm afraid?" ”

Mi Zhu said with a smile: "The military advisor is too cautious, Ma Hong is now on a southern expedition, and there is no time to come to Jingzhou, we can give it a go, capture the Jiangdong rats, and deter Jiangdong in a war, so that Sun Quan will not dare to step into my Jingzhou again." ”

"The art of war pays attention to fiction and reality, I have been in the same family with Ma Hong for many years, I know him too well, and he will not let go of this opportunity." Zhuge Liang said.

"Since he won't let it go, why did he go to Yizhou? If the army of Nanjun is not commanded by Ma Hong, only Liu Ye, I am afraid that it will not be able to set off any waves! Sun Qian asked.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said slowly: "What I'm afraid of is that Ma Hong didn't go to Yizhou, but came to Jingzhou." ”

Zhuge Liang said a word, and everyone was shocked.

Liu Bei exclaimed: "Is the military advisor saying that Ma Hong will take this opportunity to come to Jingzhou?" ”

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and said: "Let's think about the reason why Jiangdong invaded us first!" Sun Quan wants to take Jingzhou, but with the current combat strength of Jiangdong, he wants to take Jingzhou from us, which cannot be said to be a fool's dream, but it is also more difficult, but Sun Quan chose to march towards us. What is the reason for this? ……”

"I'm afraid that Sun Quan Xiaoer and Ma Hong Xiaoer colluded." Guan Yu stroked his beard and said.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Guan Yu, nodded, and said in his heart: Guan Yu has eyesight, but he is too arrogant, and he prefers the calm Zhao Yun compared to Guan Yu.

"If Ma Hongming led the army to Yizhou, but secretly sneaked into Jingzhou, and when we were fighting with Zhou Yu, they raided us on a large scale, and at that time our generals had been dispatched, who should be allowed to resist Ma Hong?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Everyone in the seat was silent again, Liu Bei pondered for a while and said, "The third brother Yide is guarding the Wuling Tomb and cannot be transferred back. The second brothers, Guan Yu and Xu Shu, went to resist Zhou Yu. We still have enough generals in Jiangxia. ”

Xu Shu suddenly stood up and walked to the wall where the map of Jingzhou was hung, stretched out his hand and pointed to Changsha and said slowly: "After Kong Ming mentioned it, I remembered, and Zhu Ran, this Changsha must be the second battlefield." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said, "It must be the second battlefield, so we have to send a few generals to defend Changsha." In this way, Jiang Xia will have fewer generals. ”

"What is Zhu Ran's ability?" Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "When he was in Shuijing Villa, Senior Brother Zhu was good at grinding stones, his temperament was very stable, and people with a very stable temperament were best at hiding. ”

"There is a saying that a dog that doesn't bark bites the most, and it seems that Sun Quan has a good dog." Guan Yu snorted coldly.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "So Zhu Ran is not easy to deal with, who does the military advisor think we should send to resist him?" ”
