Chapter 064: Return to Xiangyang

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, in 219 AD, a few months after the battle of Hanzhong had just ended, the battle of Shangyong began, and the Cao army divided its troops into two ways to attack Shangyong, with a total strength of 100,000 people, and Shuzhong was shaken. After learning about it, Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, put on his robe again, waved his army north, and supported Zhang Fei, Meng Da, and Liu Feng, who were guarding Shangyong.

The Shu army marched rapidly, and seven days later, the vanguard of the Shu army arrived at Shangyong, at this time the left and right flanks of the Wei army were also approaching Shangyong, and the situation was critical and imminent. According to the advice of Pang Tong, the commander of the military division, avoid its edge and defend it with danger. Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei and Kuai Qi to lead 15,000 men and horses to garrison Fangling, ordered Meng Da and Liu Feng to lead 10,000 horses to garrison Xicheng, and his own relatives led 40,000 horses to garrison Shangyong, and the three counties were arranged in a "character shape".

Standing at the head of Shangyong City, Liu Bei stroked his beard, pointed at Cao Bing under the city with a smile, and said, "Military advisor! The current Cao army is not as good as before, you look at the Cao army under the city, the army is scattered, the formation is messy, how can there be the shadow of the original elite? ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he said with a smile: "Lord, this is Cao Ren's arrogant enemy's plan!" The terrain of the three counties of Shangyong is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the three counties are very close to each other, and they can support each other, Cao Ren is a hard to gnaw his subordinates, trying to lure our army out of the city to fight a decisive battle with it! Carving insect tricks! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he laughed and said, "A little trick, how can you deceive Lone's eyes!" Just joking! After speaking, Liu Bei turned around and went down the city tower, Pang Tong followed, Liu Bei seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Is Zhan'er gone?" ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he nodded and said, "I left last night!" I wanted to stay with him for a few more days, but he said that the military situation in Xiangyang was urgent, so he left in a hurry! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded, and said with a smile: "Zhan'er has been smart and resourceful since she was a child, and if she is well trained, she can be entrusted with national politics in the future." ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he nodded with a smile and said, "This kid is really good!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, got off the city tower, and went straight to the mansion.

Three days later, at the head of Xiangyang City, Young Master Zhuge frowned, full of sadness, these days, the momentum of Cao's army attack became increasingly fierce, the Jingzhou army defending the city suffered great casualties, and many of the rolling wood and stones and fire oil and arrow clusters stored in front of the station have been exhausted, in desperation, Young Master Zhuge had to order the demolition of the houses close to the city wall, and the wall bricks and beams were carried to the city head as rolling wood and stones, so the people sleeping on the streets abounded, and there were many complaints.

"Uncle Xu, it's not a way to trap Xiangyang, we can't sit still like this, we still have to find a way from the periphery!" Young Master Zhuge looked at Cao Jun under the city, sighed, and said.

Hearing this, Xu Shu stroked his beard lightly, and asked with a serious look, "What do you want to do?" ”

The young master Zhuge is young master raised his head and looked into the North Pole, and after a while, he said, "Transfer Uncle Zhao to the north!" ”

"Tune Zhao Yun north? What about Gangneung? Xu Shu asked in surprise.

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he turned around and said: "Sun Quan and Lu Xun are both smart people, now that the Cao army is heading south, they won't understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, even if they don't understand, the Wu army has lost two battles in a row before, and its vitality has been greatly damaged, and a group of generals such as Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Pan Zhang have also been captured by us, I estimate that the Wu army will not dare to carry out it easily with us for the time being, not to mention that even if Lu Xun doesn't know what to do, he has to go west at this time, Jiangling and Gong'an have more than 15,000 people and horses, and they have more than enough to protect themselves!" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he thought about it and said, "Okay! Since you think it's possible, do what you want! However, Zhao Yun only has more than 10,000 people in his hands, and if you transfer him north to support Xiangyang, I'm afraid it will be a drop in the bucket! ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he said with a smile: "Who said that I want Uncle Zhao to come to Xiangyang?" ”

"If you don't come to Xiangyang, where will you go?" Xu Shu was surprised when he heard this.

Young Master Zhuge took out the map from his arms, squatted down, and spread it on the ground, Xu Shu also squatted down, Young Master Zhuge smiled and pointed to the location of Wancheng on the map, and said, "I want to fight Wancheng again!" ”

Seeing this, Xu Shu suddenly realized and said, "What do you mean......"

Young Master Zhuge pointed to the mark of Wancheng on the map and said: "Uncle Xu, come and see, after Cao Cao's main force went south, Wancheng became a transit station between the Cao army on the front line of Xiangfan and the rear of Xu Du, and the strategic location is extremely important. This time, the Cao army mobilized more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Shangyong on a large scale, which was actually caused by the stimulation of the Cao army in the previous two battles of Wancheng. Now Cao Cao has drawn elites from the three neighboring states of Xudu, Xuzhou, and Sili to put them into the battlefield of Shangyong, which seems to be huge in scale, but it also makes his Central Plains hinterland empty. At this time, if there is a army and horses waving their troops to the north and galloping through the Central Plains, what kind of scene will it be! ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he clasped his palms and laughed: "This plan is very wonderful, if it is used well, it will completely disrupt the military deployment of Cao's army to the south, and it will have a miraculous effect of moving the whole body!" ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he said with a smile: "So, Uncle Xu also supports my decision?" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he nodded with a smile and said, "Since it's a clever plan, why not use it?" ”

When Young Master Zhuge heard this, he clasped his palms together and smiled: "Such a great kindness, Heizi, immediately fly a pigeon to spread the book to Jiangling, and order Zhao Yun to go north!" ”

When the sunspot on the side heard this, he gave up his hand and left. After a while, a white dove rose from the head of Xiangyang City and flew south.

In the early morning of the next day, Mi Fang broke into Zhao Yun's camp in a hurry, at this time Zhao Yun was still sleeping with his head covered, and when he heard the noise outside the tent, he was immediately furious, turned over, lifted the curtain and came out, and said: "Which bastard disturbs Lao Tzu's sleep?" ”

looked at it, but it was Mi Fang, so he turned his anger into joy and said with a smile: "It turned out to be your brother!" What wind brought you to me? ”

Mi Fang pushed away the soldiers who were blocking him, stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Yun, and said in a low voice: "The Xiangfan front line is about to hit the birds, you are still in the mood to sleep here." ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he smiled and waved his hand, and said, "What can I do, the lord won't let me go to Xiangfan!" ”

When Mi Fang heard this, she smiled slyly and said, "Do you want to go to Xiangfan?" ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he was overjoyed when he heard the door, and hurriedly asked, "What?" Arrived? ”

Mi Fang nodded with a smile, and said in a low voice: "This is not the place to talk, let's talk in the big tent!" ”

After entering the big tent, Mi Fang took out the note from her arms, handed it to Zhao Yun, and said with a smile: "Your apprentice thinks about you and arranges a good errand for you!" ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he took the note suspiciously, looked at it, looked surprised, and said in embarrassment: "This ...... It's a bit big! ”

Mi Fang smiled and waved his hand, and said, "If this matter is successful, the general can be crowned!" ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "If this is the case, it all depends on the general and Siyuan to help each other!" ”

When Mi Fang heard this, she said with a smile: "Gou Fugui has nothing to forget!" ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he said with a smile: "How dare you! How dare you! ”
