Chapter 591: Zhuge 's Plan
Thinking of Gao Shun, Liu Ze's mood suddenly became heavy, although Liu Ze's account is full of talents, but Gao Shun is still one of the most brilliant generals, innocent and majestic, do not drink, not left behind, strict and majestic, honest and upright, his character is the most praised, of course, good character is not enough to become a famous general, Gao Shun is rigorous in governing the army, brave and fearless in battle, is a rare genius in the world, Liu Ze in order to make Gao Shun effective, but no less effort. Since Gao Shun joined the Jing Army, he has also fought many miraculous feats and become a great general who stands alone, and Liu Ze handed over all the military affairs of Xuzhou to Gao Shun, which shows that he relied on Gao Shun.
But it is such a general that Liu Ze relied on, and he died before he could get out of the battle for Xuzhou, and how heroic the place of death was, in order to create a chance for Cheng Lian and Yin Li's army to break through, Gao Shun knew that he was in a desperate situation but still led seven hundred people without regrets after the camp was broken, and no one died in the desperate bloody battle, and the camp staged the most pathetic and tragic scene in Chihongkou.
Gao Shun's position before his death was the governor of the Sixth Army, with the rank of general, and he was already among the ranks of the first-class generals in the Jing Army, and it was a little regrettable that he was not named a marquis, and the title was only promoted to a second-class earl.
Finally, Zhang He recounted the battle of Xiapi, and Liu Ze highly praised Zhang He's ability to kill Cao Cao's first-class strategist Guo Jia, saying that Zhang He had made the first contribution in this battle. Guo Jia's significance to Cao Cao is definitely no less than that of an army of 100,000, and Guo Jia's death is equivalent to cutting off one of Cao Cao's arms.
Zhang He said with a little regret: "The last cannon was originally given to Cao Cao, but unfortunately Cao Cao's life is big, Guo Jia is a substitute for the ghost, if it is not for Guo Jia to block it, Cao Cao will definitely die, maybe the situation in Xuzhou will be greatly improved." ”
Liu Ze said: "Cao Cao did catch us off guard this time, but Cao Cao thought he had a plan. In this way, Xuzhou can be taken. Then he was very wrong. ”
Zang Ba, Cheng Qian, Yin Li and others stood up together and took the initiative to ask for orders: "We are willing to be the vanguard, send troops to Pengcheng, and ask Cao Cao for blood debt." To avenge the revenge of the governor of Gaoshun! ”
Cao Cao is now retreating to Pengcheng. The siege of Xiapi has been lifted. In the eyes of Zang Ba and others, Liu Ze led a large army to help, and the momentum of the Jing army soared. It was time to march north and regain the lost territory, Zang Ba and the others had already held their breath and took the initiative to ask Liu Ze to fight, wanting to avenge the defeat of Xu Bei before.
Although the military plan for waving his army to the north to regain the lost territory has not yet been agreed, Liu Ze saw that the morale of the generals was high, and he wanted to say a few words of encouragement, but before the words were spoken, he saw Zhuge Liang looking at it, and he couldn't help but think about it, and said: "Wentong's revenge, I swear to avenge it, but the army has just arrived in Xiapi, and it has not yet had time to rest, and the matter of marching will be discussed tomorrow." ”
Then Liu Ze announced the dissolution of the meeting, and the generals retired, leaving Zhuge Liang alone in the hall. Liu Ze said: "The military advisor seems to have something to say, so you might as well say it bluntly." ”
Zhuge Liang did not answer Liu Ze directly, but asked rhetorically: "According to the will of the lord, do you want to counterattack Pengcheng and fight Cao Cao to the death in Xubei?" ”
Liu Zeqi said: "Cao Cao offended me in Xuzhou and killed my general, so deep hatred and resentment, how can you not report it?" Although Cao Cao withdrew his troops from Xiapi, he still occupied the four counties of northern Xu, and if he was not expelled from Xuzhou, how could he talk about recovering the lost territory? ”
Zhuge Liang said: "Since Dong Zhuo, the princes have risen together, and the heroes have competed in the Central Plains, all of them have the ambition to win the world, Cao Cao is not as strong as Yuan Shao, but in the end he won the battle. Sun Quan has Jiangdong, has been three generations, the country is dangerous and the people are attached, and he has a geographical advantage. The lord is the emperor's family, and the faith and righteousness are written in the four seas, punishing the strong and helping the weak, helping the world and the people, first having the land of Xuzhou, and then getting Huaijing Jiaozhou, you can get a person and. In the future, the world will be made by the lord and Cao Sun, and the rest such as Yizhou Liu Zhang, Hanzhong Zhang Lu, and Xiliang Ma Teng, who are mediocre and inactive, will not be a big deal. Among the three points of the world, only Cao Cao's soldiers are powerful, monopolizing the land of the seven states of Jiqing and Yanyu, with millions of people, and coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven to order, which cannot compete with it. Today, Cao Cao's troops invaded the south, attacking our Xuzhou, Huaibei, and Xiangyang in succession, so that our army could not care about each other, and Sun Quan took advantage of the fire to rob and attack Hefei and Guangling. The shape of this is shì, and there is a comparison of brightness. “
Liu Ze said: "What is the comparison of military advisors? ”
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, took two pieces of bread from the table, pointed to one piece of cake and said, "This is Cao Cao-" and pointed to another piece of cake, "This is Sun Quan-" and then picked up a piece of meat from the bowl with chopsticks, and said: "This piece of meat is the lord." Seeing Liu Ze's stunned expression, Zhuge Liang put the meat slice on a piece of cake, picked up another piece of cake, and covered it, but he didn't open his mouth again, but picked up the cake and took a bite leisurely.
Liu Ze has been staring at Zhuge Liang's movements, at the beginning Zhuge Liang pointed to the cake as Cao Cao and Sun Quan, which made Liu Ze feel inexplicable, and said that he was meat, and combined the meatloaf into one, Liu Ze suddenly realized: "- Sandwich meatloaf!" ”
Zhuge Liang compared Liu Ze's current shape to a meat pie, which seems vulgar, but it is an incomparable image, Liu Ze's sphere of influence seems to be extremely broad, across Xu Huai and Jingjiao, which can be seen from the map, but it is sandwiched between Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Cao Cao is in the north, Sun Quan is in the south, what is it if it is not a meat pie? However, this meatloaf was bitten in the mouth by others, and the taste was not very pleasant.
Liu Ze is indeed depressed, Cao Cao invaded the south, Sun Quan is like a maggot attached to the bone, and at the same time he has to fight on the north and south fronts, even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't resist it. Previously, Cao Cao attacked Hebei, ran Jinghuai by himself, and the well water did not violate the river water, Liu Ze felt that he was like a fish in water, and he was at ease, destroying Yuan Shu, taking Jingzhou, and beating Zhou Yu in Chibi, which was mixed with wind and water. But Cao Cao unified the north, his good days were over, how could a paper treaty restrain Cao Cao's ambition to annex the world, Cao Liu was evil, it would happen sooner or later, although it was much earlier than Liu Ze thought, but this day would eventually come, it was definitely not subject to Liu Ze's will, and now in the face of a two-front battle, Liu Ze suddenly felt a lot of pressure, just imagine who in the world wants to be someone else's meal on the plate, the meat in the cake?
"Lord, Liang has a plan to solve this crisis!" Zhuge Liang was calm and relaxed. (To be continued......)
