Chapter 398: Opportunity

Zhang Liao listened to Zhuge Liang's words and said worriedly: "Now Sun Jian's navy and army have recovered to 500,000 horses. Although most of them are recruits with no combat experience, there are a lot of them! We only have one Tiger Wing Legion, and I'm worried that if Sun Jian's side really attacks on a big scale, I'm afraid that I ......"

Zhuge Liang pondered: "If Sun Jian comes to attack, the most important thing is to defend Nanjun!" If Nanjun is guarded, there will be no danger in Xiangyang, Nanyang and even Xichuan. Zhang Liao nodded, "We have three fortresses on the west bank of the Great River, Wulin, Hanyang, and Shiyang, and if the Jiangdong Army wants to attack, it must first capture these three fortresses!" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Although there is no sign that Sun Jian is going to use troops now, but I can't help but take precautions, so Lao Wenyuan will go to the three fortresses to garrison them to deal with emergencies at any time!" ”

Zhang Liao nodded, frowned, and said: "What I'm most worried about is Wuling County, if Sun Jian comes to attack, he will definitely divide his troops into two ways, all the way to attack Nanjun and all the way to Wuling." Wuling's troops were limited, and if it was lost, the Jiangdong Army would copy to the flank and rear direction of Nanjun. ”

Zhuge Liang frowned and nodded.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly rushed in and reported: "Qi Qi military division, general, there is a common man outside asking to see!" ”

The two were a little surprised, looked at each other, and Zhuge Liang asked, "What's the matter with him?" ”

"He refused to say it, only said that there was a confidential matter to report to the military division."

Zhang Liao said to Zhuge Liang: "Let's listen to what he says first." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and ordered, "Bring him in." ”

The guard said yes and left, and a moment later led in a middle-aged man who was dusty. The guard shouted: "Why don't you kneel when you see the military advisor and the general?" ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The villain Li Fu visits the military advisor and the general!" ”

The two smiled, and Zhuge Liang said, "Get up and speak." ”

Li Fudao: "Master Xie Junshi." He stood up, hugged his fists and said: "The villain is the shopkeeper of Li Rucheng, the rich man of Jiangxia, and he has come to report to the military advisor and the general on the order of my master!" ”

The two of them showed surprise, and Zhuge Liang asked, "What news did your master ask you to report?" ”

"Military divisions and generals may not know that the Jiangdong Navy and Army are being frequently mobilized recently, and grain and grass materials are also being assembled in Jiangxia, Changsha and other places, and all water and land passes have been secretly under martial law, and all personnel are not allowed to go to Xiangyang. My master suspected that Sun Jian was going to use troops against Jing Xiang, so he specially sent a villain to risk coming to report the news, hoping that the military advisor and the general would be the enemy! ”

Zhang Liao looked at Zhuge Liang, "You really said it!" ”

Zhuge Liang asked Li Fu: "Since your master is a rich man in Jiangxia, why does he want to report to us?" ”

Li Fu hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "My master said that the general is the real hero, so he is willing to serve the general." Zhuge Liang smiled, "I thank your master for your deep friendship on behalf of the general." Get up. Li Fu responded and stood up.

Zhuge Liang asked: "You just said that Sun Jian's grain and grass are gathering in the direction of Jiangxia and Changsha, this should be a military secret, how do you know?" ”

Li Fu smiled and clenched his fists and said, "My master runs countless businesses, including the purchase and sale of grain in various places, so it is convenient to find out about this situation. ”

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, then stood up and bowed to Li Fu. Li Fu was startled, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "How dare the villain accept the gift of the military advisor?" It's really a tormenting villain! ”

Zhuge Liang stepped forward, helped Li Fu up, and said with a smile: "My worship is for all the people of Jingxiang, you can definitely stand it!" Li Fu was moved.

Zhuge Liang saw that he was covered in dust, so he said: "You go down to rest first, stay for two days, and then go back." He turned his head to the guard on the side and said, "Take him to the guest room to rest!" The guard clenched his fists and promised, and came forward to ask Li Fu to go down. Li Fu bowed to Zhuge Liang, then to Zhang Liao, and followed the guard down.

Zhang Liao stood up, walked to Zhuge Liang's side, looked out of the door, and said to Zhuge Liang: "He shouldn't be lying." Zhuge Liang nodded, "It seems that Sun Jian's plan is exactly the same as Wen Yuan's expectation, they will divide their troops into two routes, one main force to attack Nanjun, and one side division to attack Wuling, they want to take this opportunity to seize Jingxiang in one go!" ”

Zhang Liao said angrily: "I really misjudged Sun Jian! I thought he was a hero! ”

Zhuge Liang pondered: "Since Sun Jian is ready to attack on a large scale, I am afraid that the counties south of Wuling will also raise troops to attack at the same time!" ”

Zhang Liao frowned and said, "Our troops are too weak!" ”

Zhuge Liang showed a thoughtful look.

……

The gaze turned to Yanmen Pass.

When the wild goose gate is closed, the brown tide is surging, and there is no boundless; Countless Xianbei soldiers are storming Yanmen Pass along the ladder. There was an endless battle on the head of the city; The sky was covered with a rain of arrows, and huge catapults were constantly throwing boulders at the city walls like meteor showers.

Today is the fifth day after Kobi can come. The Xianbei army attacked for five days in a row, and less than 20,000 soldiers of the Yingyang Legion infantry resisted desperately, staining the city wall with blood, but they did not let the 800,000 Xianbei army under the city take a step forward! The battle was very tragic, and in just five days, the infantry of the Eagle Yang Legion suffered nearly 10,000 casualties! If the battle continues like this, the cavalry of the hussar regiment will have to go up to the city wall!

There was a sudden surge in the Xianbei army array under the city, and more than a dozen cloud ladders suddenly poured out, concentrated on a city wall on the left side of the gate, and carefully selected Xianbei warriors poured up the city wall along the cloud ladders. The defenders were caught off guard, suffered heavy casualties in the bloody battle, the defense line was torn open, and countless Xianbei warriors poured into the city, killing the remaining Han soldiers, and the Han soldiers spilled blood on the city. Among them, the most eye-catching is a naked shirtless, a Xianbei warrior who dances a horse and a long knife, is really like a tiger like a dragon, the soldiers of the Han army are invincible, and no one can resist it! Every time he danced the long knife of the horse, the blood of the Han soldiers was spilled on the spot!

Kebi can see it under the city, flick the horsewhip, and laugh: "Tuoba Bright Sun really didn't disappoint me!" "It turns out that the most eye-catching Xianbei warrior at the head of the city is one of the most famous warriors of Xianbei, Tuoba Yaori. Tuoba Yaori is the younger brother of Tuoba Guangyao, and also the eldest brother of Gongxiu and Kunbu who was previously fought by Zhang Lang, known as the head of the five warriors, with extraordinary courage and invincibility since his debut.

Seeing that the situation in the city was becoming more and more critical, at this moment, Zhang Lang led the tiger guards to the city with Fang Tian's halberd. Zhang Lang's Fang Tian painting halberd was killed in front of him, and the Xianbei soldiers fell to the ground with blood and even fell off the city wall; The Tiger Ben guards protected both sides of Zhang Lang and covered their generals to rush forward to kill!

Zhang Lang and Tuoba Yaori noticed each other at the same time, Tuoba Yaori showed excitement, roared, and rushed towards Zhang Lang with a long knife dragging his horse.
