Cao Cao's army attacked Jiangling for several days, but because Liu Bei adopted Zhuge Zhan's suggestion and poured water on the city, the walls of Jiangling City were covered with ice, making it difficult to climb. Although Cao Cao has sent messages to Xu Du many times in a row, ordering Xun Yu to step up the preparation of winter grain and grass for the southern expeditionary army, but Cao's army has been fighting for many years, and Xu Du's stock of grain is actually not much, so he can only be put into his trouser pocket to support the front line. But even so, Cao Jun's supplies are gradually struggling!

In the early morning, Liu Bei took Zhuge Zhan's little hand and climbed to the top of Jiangling City step by step. Since Young Master Zhuge 's magic method took effect, Young Master Zhuge has become famous among Liu Beijun. Even Zhang Fei, who has always been very unhappy with Zhuge father and son, has recently seen too much of Young Master Zhuge and is very friendly, with a sentence of "Xiao Zhan'er" on the left and a "Xiao Zhan'er" on the right. It gave Young Master Zhuge goosebumps. Now that I see Zhang Fei, I want to take a detour.

Liu Bei is a person with a lot of knowledge, and he realized from this incident that Young Master Zhuge is an unusual child who will become a great weapon in the future. Therefore, I have the heart to get close to Young Master Zhuge . not only made an exception to make an exception for the six-year-old Young Master Zhuge to be the captain of the school, but also authorized the young master Zhuge to see him at any time. And recently, Young Master Zhuge has also become responsive. No, yesterday Liu Bei heard that Young Master Zhuge wanted to go to Jiangling City Tower to see the scenery, and this morning, Liu Bei drove his own special car to Zhuge Mansion to pick up Young Master Zhuge to visit Jiangling City Tower. Father Zhuge didn't worry that Young Master Zhuge and Liu Bei would go to the city, so they were also taken away by Liu Bei as an incidental! The three of them, surrounded by attendants, walked up the stairs step by step and walked up to the top of Gangneung City.

The walls of Gangneung Fortress are built so high that when you stand on the walls, you can see things for miles outside the castle. The camp of Cao's army was built on a flat wasteland more than 2 miles away from the north gate of Jiangling City. In fact, to be honest, in that era, as one of the heroes in troubled times, Cao Cao really didn't say anything to the people. In order not to destroy the farmland, Cao Cao always chose to camp on the ownerless wasteland every time he set out to march. This has earned him quite a bit of a good reputation.

"Lord, you see, since we poured water to build an ice wall, Cao Jun has been much more honest recently!" Father Zhuge looked at Cao Ying, who was rising with curling smoke from afar, and a group of birds that had nowhere to find food in winter hovered over Cao Ying, probably looking for wheat particles that fell on the ground, and his mood was much more comfortable.

"Yes! Looks like we can rest for two days! Liu Bei held Zhuge Zhan in his arms and looked at Cao Ying, who was much quieter, and the panic and worry of the previous few days disappeared. It seems that he has gained a firm foothold in Gangneung City!

"Uncle Liu! Cao Jun's camp is empty! Zhuge Zhan's immature voice sounded, ushering in the surprised expressions of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

"Empty? How can it be? There is still smoke rising from the Cao camp! Liu Bei asked in surprise, but he would never take this 6-year-old child's words as a joke again, because this child was too unusual!

"There are birds hovering over Cao Ying, if there were many people in the camp below, those birds would have scattered long ago! How dare you hover over Cao Ying? I observed that only the left battalion of Cao Ren's left flank was stationed in the left battalion where Cao Ren's soldiers and horses were stationed, and there were no birds hovering over the other two battalions. Isn't that weird? So I judge that Cao Cao's camp of the middle army and the camp of the right army must be empty! "In fact, the reason why Young Master Zhuge was able to tell whether Cao Ying was a person and went to the camp was not the result of carefully observing the flying birds circling in the sky. This guy relies on his familiarity with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and has some common sense that the ancients didn't have!

In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, during the Fourth Northern Expedition, was unable to continue to fight against Cao's army because he ran out of grain and grass, so he was ready to retreat back to Hanzhong! However, he was afraid that his retreat would be pursued by Cao's cavalry, so he ordered the army not to dismantle the camp, and ordered his subordinates to tie the retreat of several goats to a tree, and put a war drum under each of the front legs. In this way, the Wei army listened to the war drums in the Shu military camp and thought that the Shu army was still there. After four or five days, he found that the sound of war drums in the Shu military camp was becoming more and more sparse, and he felt that there was a problem. secretly sent people to investigate, and when they arrived at the Shu army camp, they found that there were already people going to the camp. I don't know if Mr. Lu Dao Zhuge was inspired by Prime Minister Cao Cheng's original tactics.

Liu Bei and the others felt that Zhuge Zhan's words were very reasonable, and hurriedly sent cavalry out of the city to investigate, but as expected by Young Master Zhuge , except for Cao Ren's department, the Cao army of the other two battalions had long since disappeared! After the two received the news, they hurriedly gathered everyone to discuss.

After everyone got the news, they rushed to the conference hall one after another, in fact, there were few people under Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Yi were in Jiangxia to support Liu Qi. The remaining qualified to hold the meeting are Zhuge Daddy, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Jian Yong, Sun Gan, Liu Feng, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, who has just surrendered. However, this time Liu Bei made a decision that made everyone fall through the glasses - Young Master Zhuge was allowed to observe.

After everyone arrived, they took their positions in the order of left and right, and official ranks. However, although Young Master Zhuge was only named a lieutenant, it stands to reason that he should sit at the end. But because he was too young, it was difficult to set up a separate seat, so he arranged a small seat next to Zhuge Dad and sat down. Liu Bei was late after a while, and from ancient times to the present, leaders are always accustomed to the last one to arrive. However, Liu Bei was not like this, he went to the city tower to arrange the matter of guarding the city, and it was too late.

"You may all know that the three camps of the Cao army outside the city are empty. In addition to Cao Ren's left flank of 50,000 soldiers and horses, the rest of the more than 100,000 Cao troops are unknown! Let us all share your thoughts! Liu Bei sat cross-legged, picked up the cup on the table in front of him, and took a sip. I guess I've just been running for half a day, and I'm too thirsty.

"My lord, it is the middle of winter now, the weather is cold, the Cao army is unable to conquer Jiangling City, and it is far from the rear, the supply line is too long, and the supply is difficult. These 200,000 soldiers and horses cost a lot of food and grass to feed. It is highly likely that Cao Cao withdrew the rest of his troops and horses to the area of Xiangfan, which was closer to the rear of Xudu, where it was relatively easy to obtain provisions. Zhuge Zhan raised his eyes, but he was a thin old man, this person he knew, Liu Bei was engaged in Sun Qian.

Sun Qian, whose name is Gongyou, was a native of Beihai, Qingzhou (now west of Changle County, Weifang City, Shandong). Liu Bei's right-hand man in the early stage was very well paid, and when Liu Bei first served as the pastor of Xuzhou, Zheng Xuan, a celebrity, recommended Sun Qian to Liu Bei. Zheng Xuan is a person respected by Liu Bei, and of course Liu Bei, the person he recommended, attaches great importance to it, and after talking with Sun Gan, he found that Sun Qian is indeed very talented, so he appointed him to work. Although Liu Bei has suffered repeated failures, he has always been unhappy. But Sun Qian still followed him loyally and never gave up. This made Liu Bei very moved, so Sun Gan's status in Liu Bei's group was very high. This guy is very eloquent and a good diplomat. However, when it comes to handling political affairs, governing the army, and commanding wars, it is not a grade worse than Daddy Zhuge !

"Gongyu's words are not unreasonable! Do you have any other opinions? ”

"Uh......" Father Zhuge was about to speak, but who knew that there was someone faster than him!

"Uncle Liu, if I were Cao Cao, I would never give up halfway and withdraw the army to the Xiangfan area." Zhuge Zhan said it first. Liu Bei was also interested in Zhuge Zhan's speech, and asked with a smile: "Then why does Xiao Zhan'er think so?" Young Master Zhuge saw that Liu Bei was interested in listening, so he continued: "If you really want to withdraw, then why don't you withdraw anything, and still have Cao Ren's 50,000 soldiers and horses starving under Jiangling City?" Don't you want to supply these 50,000 horses? "Yes, that makes sense!" Liu Bei nodded, thoughtful. When Young Master Zhuge saw that Liu Bei had listened, he continued; "Cao Cao used his troops to get into his mind, and every step of his deployment must have his intentions, in my opinion, Cao Cao left Cao Ren's soldiers and horses in order to contain us and prevent Uncle Liu from affecting his next military action. Then Cao Cao's goal is to capture Jiangling, all of which are Jingzhou. This is the overall situation of his southern expedition, and he will definitely not give up. So whatever his next military action is? Its ultimate goal must be to capture Gangneung Fortress. Since the strong attack can't work, it is natural to find another way. So what will be the solution? Uncle Liu, come and see-" Young Master Zhuge got up from his seat, ran to the map of Jingzhou hanging behind Liu Bei, pointed to Jiang Xia's location and continued, "One of the strategies for defending the city that Uncle Liu and his father set at the beginning was to 'stick to Jiangling as the foundation, and connect Jiangxia in the east to form a corner', so Jiangxia's victory is very important for our army. Jiangxia is here, Jiangling is as safe as Mount Tai, Jiangxia is not there, Jiangling has become a lonely city, it is lonely, and it is difficult to compete with Cao Jun for a long time! Therefore, if Cao Cao is Cao Cao, he will definitely lead the army to the east and join forces with Zhang Liao and Cai Mao's sailors on the East Road to attack Jiangxia! Break through Jiangxia first, and then go back and destroy us! ”
