Chapter 312: I want to take Xiangyang
Lin Bei didn't think that because of the resignation of Xu Shu and the four of them, there would be some turmoil in Xiangyang City.
The people in Xiangyang City have actually been worried during this time, first Liu Biao was driven out of Xiangyang by Sun Jian, and then Sun Jian was driven away by Liu Biao, before leaving, Xiangyang City was put on a fire, burning half of the city, it is this fire that let Xiangyang people know that Xiangyang is not safe, and war will come at any time.
And the arrival of the barbarian army is a string in the hearts of the people of Xiangyang, as the barbarian army gets closer and closer, the worries of the people of Xiangyang are getting bigger and bigger, and Liu Biao can't hide this aspect.
Millions of barbarian troops, Changsha has been occupied by barbarian troops, across the river confrontation Xiangyang people have never paid so much attention to the war, and there are some bad rumors among the people, that is, Xiangyang City cannot be defended.
Xiangyang people are very pessimistic during this time, in addition, Xiangyang people heard the news, just today, Wolong and Feng Yan, who are known as famous in the Confucian Academy, actually quit their studies together, and then Shan Fu and Shan You, the two brothers and sisters, also quit school, this news made Xiangyang people in an uproar.
Wolong and Phoenix Chick were praised by Sima Zheng, they are outstanding talents in this group of students in the Confucian Academy, Shan Fu is usually low-key, but because he is Shan You's brother, so many people pay attention, after all, Shan You is a woman, and there will always be more attention, so let's say, among the students in the Confucian Academy, Wolong and Phoenix Chicks plus Shan You are the most popular.
And now they're quitting? What does this mean? Lin Bei didn't think about this problem, he originally thought it was a trivial matter, but he ignored people's imagination, especially when Xiangyang people were nervous.
Not half a day later, there was a news in Xiangyang City, to the effect that Wolong and Feng Hina were not very optimistic about the prospects of Xiangyang, and thought that Xiangyang City would be broken, so they quit school and returned home in advance. Now that he is preparing to leave his hometown, after the news came out, Xiangyang City was a little chaotic.
The people are always blind, just like chasing stars, Wolong and Feng Xiao are the stars of Xiangyang City, and both of them are talented. Now even the two of them are not optimistic about the prospects of Xiangyang City, which naturally makes the common people feel afraid.
In addition to the fear that Xiangyang City will be breached, or because of the reputation of the barbarian army, people will definitely die in battle, but after some people's oil and vinegar, the barbarian army finally became all like wolves and tigers, and they will eat people, they will eat people, how not to make the common people afraid?
So catalyzed by this kind of news. At noon, some Xiangyang people began to pack up their salutes and prepare to leave Xiangyang, and at this time, any love will be magnified, and a family is ready to leave, then it will drive more than a dozen families, and then more than a hundred.
When Liu Biao got the news that the people of Xiangyang were preparing for a large-scale migration. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the news made Liu Biao angry enough. Tongjin was also helpless, because it meant that the people under his rule no longer trusted him as the ruler, and the result of a leader losing the trust of the people was quite terrible.
If Liu Biao sent a sergeant to persuade him. Maybe the chaos will slowly subside, but Liu Biao only cared about closing the city gate and did not explain to the people, which made the people more convinced that Xiangyang City was not good. Rumors also became more and more numerous, and even the news spread that Gangneung Fortress had also been breached.
Gangneung Fortress is a large gateway to the south of Xiangyang, and there is no river between Gangneung Fortress and Xiangyang Castle, so it can be said that if Gangneung is occupied, the barbarian army's troops can reach Xiangyang Castle at any time, and this news caused even greater riots.
Many common people blocked the major gates of Xiangyang City, wanting to leave Xiangyang, but the soldiers defending the city definitely refused to let them, and the two sides were very angry, and their own feelings were anxious, so a conflict broke out, and in the end, the common people were naturally suppressed and hundreds of people were killed.
Pessimism shrouded Xiangyang City, in this way, it can be said that Liu Biao has lost most of it, and he has no power to return to the sky, fortunately, the barbarian army has not yet arrived in Xiangyang, otherwise Xiangyang will be broken.
It was already night when Lin Bei heard the news in Longzhong, and the news was inquired by Meng Yu.
Originally, everyone had already packed up their salutes and was ready to leave tomorrow, but after getting the news, they all gathered around Lin Bei, discussing the truth of the news, and at the same time, seeing if they could use the news.
First of all, everyone analyzed whether Jiangling City had been breached, Xu Shu, Kong Ming, and Pang Tong all agreed that Jiangling City had little chance of being breached now.
Jiangling City is the gateway to the south of Xiangyang, it is a big city, the city is high and the wall is thick, Liu Biao has 30,000 troops over there, of which the naval army accounts for 20,000, and Cai Mao serves as the governor of the naval army, this Cai Mao is a talent, quite capable of fighting on the water, the Cai family and Liu Biao are in-laws, and they will fight to the death, so Jiangling City cannot be broken by the barbarian army in a short period of time.
Since Jiangling is not broken, the news in Xiangyang City is fake, but of course, it is true that Xiangyang City is in chaos.
"My lord, now that Xiangyang is in chaos, why don't we take it?" Kong Ming said suddenly.
Everyone suddenly fell silent, should I take it? In other words, let adults enter Xiangyang? Now that there are no troops at all, how can you enter Xiangyang?
Lin Bei was also very puzzled, but Kong Ming could say this, he must have an idea, so Lin Bei asked: "Kong Ming, tell me, how can I get Xiangyang?" ”
Kong Ming smiled, with a confident look, they all said that serious men are the most handsome, Kong Ming was originally very handsome, and now he is smiling even more brightly, Lin Beixin said that in the future, he will have to find a painter to paint Kong Ming's appearance, and when the time comes, he will make a spring/palace map, and how many psychological wounds of resentful women in the boudoir will have to be healed
Kong Ming didn't know that the Great Dragon King in front of him was about to trap him, so he looked at Lin Bei and said with a smile: "My lord, I said last time that as long as you are in the middle of the big river, your lord will be one against ten thousand?" ”
Lin Bei nodded, not modest: "Don't say 10,000, even if it is 100,000 million, Lord Ben is not afraid at all, there were 30,000 barbarian troops in Anding County that time, and Lord Ben also advanced and retreated freely." ”
Kong Ming laughed, and just wanted to speak, when he saw that Pang Tong also had a clear face, his heart moved: "Shi Yuan must also know what I think, so let Shi Yuan say it." ”
Pang Tong looked at Kong Ming deeply, this is obviously an opportunity to be in the limelight, Kong Ming can give him this opportunity, it can be seen that Kong Ming is open-minded, as for whether he can leave a deep impression in the heart of this adult. It's up to him to do it.
Pang Tong was not polite, because he urgently needed Lin Bei's affirmation, so he said: "In this way, then so-and-so will talk about his thoughts, and if there are any omissions, Yuan Zhi and Kong Ming will add it." ”
Seeing this, Lin Bei also nodded. Pang Tong said in a deep voice: "Although we know that Jiangling has not been broken, but the common people do not know, if we don't spread the news with this, we will say that the barbarian army is ready to garrison a place, and want to break Jiangling, at this time, Liu Jingzhou will definitely send troops to, but now the defenders in Xiangyang City are only 20,000, and only Liu Biao needs to send 10,000." It is the opportunity for us to wait, when the adult shows his body outside the Fan River, I will wait for the rumors in the city, just say that the river god appears, come to save Xiangyang, the common people in Xiangyang will oppose Liu Biao, as long as the adult can defeat the 10,000 Xiangyang army, Xiangyang is the adult's thing. ”
"Even so, I took Xiangyang. So how do you defend the city? Lin Bei said with a frown.
"Therefore, the adults still need to leave Liu Biao's life. Drive Liu Biao to Gangneung City. Kong Ming said with a smile.
Lin Bei thought about it carefully and suddenly realized: "Oh, in this way, Liu Biao has to help guard Jiangling City. ”
"However, Liu Biao must be guarded, and he must be guarded. With the military strength of Jiangling City, the southern gateway of Xiangyang City can be worry-free, although Yuan Shao is in Nanyang, but there is also a river separation from Xiangyang City, and only adults need to overturn a few big ships at that time. Yuan Shao will also retreat in the face of difficulties, so that this Xiangyang can be regarded as being captured. ”
Meng Huo listened to it on the side and blinked, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that Kong Ming and Pang Tong would have the names of Wolong and Phoenix Chick, and in a few words, they took the fire and took this Xiangyang City, and by the way, let Liu Biao help watch the gate, this ability is indeed terrifying, these scholars are too poisonous, and then, Meng Shu looked at Zhu Rong again, this wife has been obedient to Meng Huo since she entered the Confucian Academy, although she is still obedient to Meng Huo, but Meng Huo always feels that the qi is insufficient, if Zhu Rong uses such a means one day, can he Meng Huo be able to parry? Meng Huo's heart was a little nervous, it seems that he will have to study more in the future.
Lin Bei thinks that this strategy is very poisonous, but it is very effective, Xiangyang is the state of Jingzhou, it is difficult for outsiders to break through the city, now, there is Yuan Shao in the north, there is a barbarian army in the south, Sun Jian is also in Yuzhang, and Liu Biao is still there, it can be called a tiger and wolf around, but Kong Ming and Pang Tong can let Lin Bei seize Xiangyang in a few words, and he is really worthy of being a top strategist, not only has a strategy, but also has a lot of courage, and he is quite bold, who can come up with this kind of bold and high probability of success strategy?
However, Lin Bei still had questions: "Even if we can occupy Xiangyang, but Xiangyang has become a lonely city, Liu Biao will definitely be defeated, how can I resist the 300,000 barbarian army at that time?" ”
Xu Shu smiled at this time: "My lord, I am handsome and incompetent, tired of the three armies, but my lord is wise and martial, and he is also the god of the river, although Xiangyang is a lonely city, but not everyone can take a bite, do you know how many people are in Xiangyang City?" ”
"How much?"
"More than 400,000."
Lin Bei sighed, more than 400,000, wow, what a big piece of fat.
"Among them, there are about 150,000 young people, as long as the prestige of the adults in Xiangyang can look at the sea city, then climb high and shout, who will not die? With the prestige of adults, there are 100,000 soldiers in Xiangyang City, and there are Kong Ming and Shiyuan to assist, not to mention that the barbarian army is only known as one million, but there are really millions, and there is no choice but to Xiangyang City. ”
"That's a good thing to say, how can the people of Xiangyang accept Lord Ben?"
Xu Shu, Kong Ming and Pang Tong looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "My lord, we can create gods." ”
Kong Ming then continued: "The adult is the body of the dragon god, as long as he preaches it, the common people will definitely believe it, this is the advantage of the adult, and it must not be given up." ”
What does a strategist do? Naturally, it is necessary to try his best to seek the greatest interests for the main public, Bian Ji has also used this advantage of Lin Bei before, Kong Ming and Pang Tong and others naturally have to take advantage of it, for these strategists, as long as they can grab the greatest benefits, they generally will not use any methods, of course, each strategist has a different personality, some have a vicious personality, and some have a generous personality, but like this kind of deception of the common people, whether it is a vicious personality or a generous personality, the strategist will not think that there is anything wrong, and there is no psychological burden at all when used. Deceiving the common people is one of the most common methods used by the superiors, and now it depends on whether Lin Bei uses it or not.
The strategist only gives advice, and whether the final plan can be carried out depends on the will of the lord, if the lord does not adopt it, the wisdom of the strategist will not be able to do it.
Lin thought about it for a while and thought that this plan was indeed feasible, after all, there were 400,000 people in Xiangyang City.
400,000 people, as long as Lin Bei can establish prestige in Xiangyang City, these 400,000 people will all belong to Lin Bei, how much temptation is this? And as long as it is based on Xiangyang, the barbarian army will not completely occupy Jingzhou, and will block the pace of the barbarian army's attack on the Central Plains.
However, in addition to worrying about the barbarian army, Lin Bei also has to worry about the Central Plains heroes, after all, he is now a snake body, once he is based in Xiangyang, will the Central Plains heroes gather in Xiangyang to kill the snake? The 300,000 barbarian army is indeed not terrible, but it will be terrible after the Central Plains heroes converge and reconcile, but don't die before you go out, and it is estimated that you will have to be picked up and cramped after death, and then stew snake soup, which will be a tragedy.
If you do this vote, you can have more than 400,000 people in the account, but maybe you will be besieged by countless people, if you don't do this vote, you will be safe and worry-free, but you will miss 400,000 people? Lin Bei is really reluctant, population is a resource.
In the end, Lin Beiyi gritted his teeth, Ma, do it, if you really encounter the incident of Xiangyang in the Hundred Roads, is it good for Lin Bei to run away (to be continued......)
