Chapter 1400: Building Prestige
Full of doubts, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang quickened their pace and walked towards Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, who were standing outside the tent.
Behind the two, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang saluted Liu Bei and said, "Uncle Huang, the two of us just got the order, and I am very puzzled in my heart, and I hope that Uncle Huang will solve my doubts!" ”
As soon as Mi Zhu and Mi Fang spoke, Liu Bei knew what they wanted to say.
Not only were the two of them puzzled, but even Liu Bei didn't quite understand why Zhuge Liang made such a decision.
When the two of them spoke, Liu Bei turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang who was standing aside.
In the face of doubts, Zhuge Liang did not speak, but with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he gently shook the feather fan.
Liu Bei's eyes fell on Zhuge Liang's face, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang immediately understood, this strategy must have been thought up by Zhuge Liang, and both of them couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang.
"What did the two generals think when they received the order?" The corners of his mouth always maintained a faint smile, and Zhuge Liang asked Mi Zhu and Mi Fang.
When he asked like this, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang first glanced at each other, and then Mi Zhu said: "Don't hide it, sir, the two of us got the order, but I just feel that Uncle Huang's move is inappropriate!" ”
"How is it defective?" Before Mi Zhu could speak, Zhuge Liang asked him a question.
"I'm afraid that Mr. is asking knowingly!" Zhuge Liang served Liu Bei, but he never made any achievements, and even sent Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to block the Han army, and tried to put a big fire at the mouth of Bowang Valley was not confirmed, and the two brothers' views on him had already fallen to the bottom, Mi Fang smiled coldly, and replied: "The enemy army is coming, the number of soldiers and horses is more than 10,000, and we wait for only 5,000 soldiers and horses, intending to repel the enemy army and cannot get it, and now the emperor uncle has transferred the two of us, and took away 4,500 soldiers and horses, leaving only 500 personal soldiers with him." Isn't this too child's play? In case Uncle Huang is captured or killed by the enemy, can Mr. have a role to play? ”
"There are many enemy troops, and our soldiers are small, even if they fight, they are definitely not enemy opponents!" With a faint smile on his face, Zhuge Liang said to Mi Zhu and Mi Fang: "The two generals think that the emperor is a child's play, if the enemy army arrives here, seeing that there are not many soldiers and horses around the emperor's uncle, but they have the leisure to caress Yaoqin, I don't know what they will do?" ”
As soon as Zhuge Liang asked, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang's brows gradually twisted.
The two glanced at each other, Mi Fang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sir, isn't he gambling on ......?" ”
"It's not a gamble!" Laughing and waving the feather fan in his hand twice, Zhuge Liang said to the two: "I expected that the enemy army would come here, and when I saw the emperor's uncle focusing on the qin, I must be horrified in my heart!" Even if you don't evacuate immediately, you will definitely be full of doubts! Worried, how can you attack Uncle Huang? ”
"Sir's words may have a point!" Tightly frowning, Mi Zhu then said to Zhuge Liang: "But in this way, wouldn't it put the imperial uncle in danger?" ”
Mi Zhu's words happened to ask Liu Bei's heart.
When he asked this, Liu Bei turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang expectantly, only hoping that Zhuge Liang could propose other strategies, rather than asking him to risk himself.
It's a pity that Zhuge Liang's appearance disappointed Liu Bei.
Shaking the feather fan gently, Zhuge Liang said to Mi Zhu and Mi Fang: "The two generals only know one of them, but they don't know the other. The way to use soldiers is to never tire of deceit. Our army is suspicious, and the enemy has scruples, so today it will not attack the emperor's uncle lightly. Although the enemy army will not attack our camp, they will check on Uncle Huang not far away, if our army makes the slightest mistake, Uncle Huang will be in danger! ”
"Since Sir knows this, why should Uncle Huang take the risk of being in danger?" Frowning tightly, Mi Zhu asked Zhuge Liang again as if questioning.
had been waiting for him for a long time, Zhuge Liang said with a slight smile: "Although the two generals can rest assured, as long as the two send troops in time, the imperial uncle will definitely not suffer the slightest danger!" ”
Zhuge Liang was full of confidence in what he said, but Mi Zhu and Mi Fang did not dare to believe it.
The two first glanced at each other, and then Mi Fang asked, "What should the two of us do to be considered to be in time to send troops?" ”
"The enemy will be encamped here tonight!" Finally, Zhuge Liang smiled and said to the two with a solemn face: "The two generals are absolutely not allowed to send troops at night, just because the enemy army must be strictly guarded tonight. Wait until early tomorrow morning, the enemy army will bury the pot and cook, and the two generals will lead the soldiers and horses to rush and kill, and the battle can be decided! ”
Glancing at each other, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang's faces were still full of suspicion, but seeing that Liu Bei didn't say anything, it was not good to ask anything more, Mi Zhu arched his hand towards Zhuge Liang and said: "Mr. is next to Uncle Huang, if anything happens, I hope Mr. will take care of Uncle Huang!" ”
"Two generals, rest assured!" Holding a feather fan, Zhuge Liang gave Mi Zhu and Mi Fang a salute and responded.
After Zhuge Liang's promise, although Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were still full of doubts, they finally made a deep bow to Liu Bei and turned to leave.
When the two left, Liu Bei was still in a mood of expectation, and it was cold for a while.
He was full of expectations that Zhuge Liang would change his deployment due to the questioning of the two, so that he could hide behind the army as in the past and let the soldiers go to fight, while he was watching the two sides fight from a position far away from the battlefield.
But this time, his hopes were clearly in vain.
I don't know if it's really because he has no other ideas or because of some bad reason, Zhuge Liang doesn't have the slightest idea of changing his mind.
This time, even if he didn't want to face the battlefield up close, he probably couldn't say it.
Looking at Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei had a mournful expression, and Zhuge Liang, who was standing opposite him, had an indifferent look on his face, as if the Jingzhou army had won this battle.
Seeing the reluctance from Liu Bei's face, Zhuge Liang bowed to him with his fists and said: "Uncle Huang, if the enemy army comes, seeing Uncle Huang like this, he must know that our army is an empty camp, and Uncle Huang will definitely be killed by the enemy at that time!" ”
"Sir, it's a lot of harm!" With a long sigh, Liu Bei shook his head and said to Zhuge Liang: "This time, I will entrust my life to Mr., I only hope that Mr. will not be bad, but all his life!" ”
After saying this, the look on Liu Bei's face was a little more indifferent than before.
Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Zhuge Liang did not say anything, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that was not easy to be noticed.
Before joining Liu Bei, he had heard that this person had repeatedly abandoned his family and fled alone.
Although Zhuge Liang was not very repulsive to Liu Bei's behavior, he also knew that if he allowed it to develop, it would definitely be detrimental to Liu Wei's reputation.
To achieve the hegemony of the world, we must not only have the intention of protecting our own family, but also make everyone around us feel that Liu Bei lives and dies with them.
If these are not reversed, Auxiliary Liu Bei will only be defeated and captured sooner or later.
Zhuge Jin is an official in Jiangdong, although it is not extremely glorious, but he also has a high status, and he is very relied on by the Jiangdong Sun family.
Earlier, Zhuge Jun was asked to serve Liu Wei, and Zhuge Liang had two considerations.
On the one hand, if Liu Wei sent Zhuge Jun to Liaodong and really died on the battlefield in Liaodong, he would be able to use this incident to make some articles in the future.
On the other hand, Zhuge Liang also thought that if Zhuge was used by Liu Wei, with the wisdom of his brother, it would be impossible to be reused, but it was just to preserve a bloodline of the Zhuge family.
To his surprise, Liu Wei not only used Zhuge Jun, but Zhuge Jun also proposed to Liu Wei a plan to occupy Sichuan, which made the Han army move south, completely cutting off Zhuge Liang's earlier plan to let Liu Bei enter Sichuan.
lost Sichuan, and the only place where Liu Bei could gain a firm foothold was Jingzhou.
After winning Jingzhou, he will find a reason to go south in the future and seize Jiangdong from the Sun family, so that Liu Bei can be regarded as having a foothold in this world.
Before that, what Liu Bei had to do was to change the impression in the minds of the soldiers.
In the past, Liu Bei was in trouble, but he knew that blindly escaping had already chilled the hearts of many soldiers.
Now in the face of the Han army, which is far more numerous than them, he dares to lead only 500 people to sit in the camp and spread it, which is also of great benefit to his reputation!
With these calculations in his heart, Zhuge Liang finally chose this seemingly risky strategy.
What Mi Zhu said is also right, he is actually gambling, betting that the commander of the Han army will be suspicious.
If it was not Sima Yi who led the army, but Xiahoudun, even if Zhuge Liang was given ten dares, he would definitely not dare to choose such a strategy.
A fierce general like Xiahoudun, seeing that the Jingzhou army camp was empty, the only thing he could think of was that the Jingzhou army had lost its courage, and it was the perfect time for him to lead the army to rush and kill.
The leader who came was Sima Yi, although he didn't know much about this person, but Liu Wei would let him be the chief bookkeeper of the army, and restrain Xiahoudun, obviously this person was several times more intelligent than Xiahoudun.
In the face of such an enemy, Zhuge Liang knew that the simpler he did, the more complicated the other party would be.
In this way, Sima Yi's arrival gave Liu Bei an excellent opportunity to establish his prestige.
Several Jingzhou soldiers placed a Ai Zhou outside Yu Shuai's tent, and just when they were about to put a yaoqin on the low table, Zhuge Liang instructed them: "Carry the table outside the barracks!" ”
Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, the Jingzhou soldiers all raised their heads and looked at Liu Bei with a blank expression.
Liu Bei first glanced at Zhuge Liang, and when he saw his solemn face, he sighed softly, and waved his hand at the soldiers helplessly.
Seeing Liu Bei's gesture, a few pro-soldiers carried a low table and walked towards the outside of the barracks.
Seeing his soldiers leaving, Zhuge Liang made a gesture of invitation to Liu Bei and said, "Uncle Huang, please!" ”
