Wei Tao did not fight with Lu Bu again, and in the face of Lu Bu's provocation, he directly led his troops to kill.

In the face of many soldiers rushing to kill, even if Lu Bu was brave and unparalleled, he did not dare to be a strong enemy, and directly led the troops to retreat.

Although Lu Bu reacted in time, Wei Tao's rush was more fierce, and in this rush and kill, more than half of Lu Bu's men were injured, which was because Wei Tao did not pursue immediately.

Because Wei Tao directly led people to rush into the camp.

Sure enough, there were no soldiers in the camp to protect them.

In fact, even if Lu Bu did not lead the whole army out, if the other party still said that he didn't know when Wei Tao sent troops, then it would be too confusing.

According to common sense, as long as the troops are sent immediately, then they can support Lu Bu so that Lu Bu will not be defeated quickly, and the reason why this is the case is that the other party is not actually in the camp.

Obviously, the other party has already had other plans.

"It seems to be true! Scold! Sima Zhongda really made a calculation, and only let Lu Bu attract the attention of our army here. ”

Wei Tao chuckled, walked back and forth in the camp for two steps, and never saw any ambush, plus some signs, Wei Tao could already understand that the people in this camp had probably moved quietly a few days ago.

Wei Tao quickly gave the order.

"Whole army, come with me!"

With Wei Tao's order, all the troops were divided into two parts, and they returned to Xiangyang City to take up the responsibility of defense, while Wei Tao led the cavalry straight to Jiangling.

Because along the way, Wei Tao was also to guard against a mistake, so Sima Yi only wanted to ambush himself, not as Zhou Yu expected. So the march was slow.

But no matter how slow. Wei Tao led all cavalry. It's still going to be Gangneung soon.

But at this time, Jiangling was already surrounded by many soldiers, and the four gates were wide open, but the soldiers inside and outside were stationed, making it impossible for people to enter and exit at all, and the situation was quite strange.

Jiangling was not surrounded by Cao's army, but by Wei Tao's soldiers!

Seeing Wei Tao coming, Jia Xu immediately came to greet him.

"I've seen the lord, Cao Cao's people are all trapped here. Moreover, the gate of Gangneung has been destroyed by us, as long as the lord orders it, Gangneung can be recaptured at any time. In addition, I have already been transferred to the army in the city, and Cao's army is now trapped in a cage, as long as the lord gives an order, I can retake Jiangling for the lord. ”

"What about the people of the city? But do you settle in advance? ”

Wei Tao shook his head slightly, but he understood that since Jia Xu was a poisonous man, he naturally didn't have so many bodhisattva hearts, and he didn't talk about the people of Jiangling at all.

"There is a letter from the lord one step earlier. Naturally, I let the people of Gangneung leave temporarily. It's a pity, except for some big clans who let some of their own elite children leave. The rest of the people were not moved at all, and it was not so easy for the big family to let those ordinary people leave, and in the end, only some of them obeyed the arrangements of our army, and most of the people of Gangneung were still in the city. If you are disappointed by the lord, please forgive me. ”

Jia Xu's words are always calm, as if he is really just trying to narrate one thing.

Wei Tao could only smile bitterly at this, Zhou Yu's suggestion to let Jia Xu come to command was indeed correct, but seeing the result made Wei Tao have an indescribable feeling in his heart.

A feeling of not knowing whether it was right or wrong to make such a decision.

The course of the matter is very simple, that is, Zhou Yu and others expected that Sima Yi would guess Sima Yi's plan after using Lu Bu in Xiangyang as a containment.

Sima Yi wants to raid Jiangling, once Jiangling is taken, then it can cut off Wei Tao's connection with Jingnan, and when the time comes, I don't say whether Liu Bei will make a move, as long as Cao Cao is to transfer troops again, he can attack Xiangyang on both sides.

It has to be said that the possibility of success in such a sudden change of target is indeed very great.

Of course, the premise is that the other party does not realize the mystery.

However, if it is just like this, then it will make Sima Yi's plan go in vain, at most it will only damage the soldiers under Lu Bu, but the main force of Cao's attack will not be damaged.

But after Zhou Yu and the others, this is not the case.

Jia Xu rushed to sit in Jiangling, but he used this method of inviting the king into the urn, first withdrawing all the defensive equipment and grain and grass in Jiangling, and then destroying three of the gates, so that the fourth gate that was destroyed when the Cao army raided, although the entire Jiangling was ceded to the Cao army, it was also unprotected.

As soon as Cao's army entered the city, Jia Xu immediately dispatched troops to surround Jiangling City, forming a situation of turtles in urns.

As a result, Cao Jun was trapped in Jiangling.

"The general's subordinates are scheming! Such a clever plan, even if it is a change of place, I am afraid that it may not be able to be spared, and it should be convinced! ”

Pang Tong, who came with Wei Tao, couldn't help but say this.

It's not that Pang Tong doesn't know this strategy, but since the other party can come up with such a plan to lure the enemy into attacking, then he shouldn't be the one who falls into the trap so easily, so Pang Tong is also a little impressed by Jia Xu's ability to let the other party fall into the trap so easily.

"It's just that there is a mind and no intention, it is nothing."

Jia Xu is cunning and cunning, and he has long passed the time of complacency, so he just shook his head slightly, and then reminded him.

"My lord, although the plan can be accomplished, Cao Jun does not have much to lose. Although in the current situation, the oppression of the people can be said to be self-defeating, but our army is also a lot of consumption, not to mention such a siege, our army is also trapped here, and nothing can be done, and the lord should make a quick decision. ”

Wei Tao nodded slightly, this is exactly what he personally led the army to do.

Just as Wei Tao arrived, Sima Yi also appeared on the city wall, looking at Wei Tao's army outside, Sima Yi's face was still very calm, and after looking at the Quartet again, he finally nodded.

"Jia Wenhe is worthy of Jia Wenhe, and he didn't leave too many flaws, it is impossible for the four city gates to be repaired in a short period of time, plus they are always on guard against this, even if they want to plug the gap with stones, it is impossible, in this case, although the advantage of defending the city is still there, it is not big. If it is an ordinary time, the best plan at this time is the method of encircling the point to send reinforcements, our army is trapped here, it is impossible for the lord not to come to the rescue, and then we will become the burden of the lord. ”

Sima Yi said very calmly, but the faces of the people next to him were quite ugly, whether it was for the ministers or the generals, if they really wanted to let their lord come to the rescue, then it showed that this was already the worst thing, but they didn't want to do it.

In particular, the expressions of the generals of the Cao clan were more complicated, and they knew Cao Cao's evaluation of Sima Yi.

The eagle looks at the wolf, and he is not a person who is willing to condescend to others!

However, the generals still couldn't say anything about Sima Yi's conclusion, after all, they were indeed trapped here, but in the same way, Jiangling was also occupied by them.

The loss of Jiangling is also a lot of trouble for Wei Tao, as long as they can turn bad things into good things, then this is also a great achievement.

"Zhongda, what should we do now?"

At this time, it is difficult for others to speak, although Sima Yi is young, but his ability is not small, others do not want to provoke Sima Yi because of a momentary question, but Cao Ren's identity is different after all, if he opens his mouth, Sima Yi is not good not to answer.

"Although our army also carried ten days of grain and grass, and if it was forcibly collected, it should be able to make up some of the grain, and it would not be a problem to support half a month and a month, but if the time was long, it would not be possible. Now the prime minister is also in some trouble in the court, if he is distracted and transfers troops, I don't know how long it will take to arrive. It is better to sit back and wait for death like this, and the whole army will rush out, although the city is besieged on all sides, it will not trap us to death. ”

Cao Renneng can say this naturally because of his self-confidence, although this loss is quite large, but it is indeed not a problem.

But Sima Yi shook his head slightly, and then said.

"I believe in General Zixiao's ability, but General Zixiao also knows that the purpose of the prime minister's dispatch of our army is to disturb Wei Tao and prevent him from having a chance to recuperate. Although our army is now trapped, it can be regarded as complying with the prime minister's order and letting Wei Tao's army move. And if our army breaks through, although we can keep our army, but we also lose the foundation that can contain Wei Tao's strength, won't it be a waste of effort at that time? ”

A few words, even if Cao Ren was speechless, and at this time, Sima Yi shook his head slightly, and said directly.

"Don't worry, although I am trapped here, I am not incompetent, if that Wei Tao is really just like the rumors, then I can naturally make him suffer. Even if the result is as eloquent as the prime minister, then you can also fight with a wit to see whose talent can be the highest. ”

Hearing that Sima Yi was so self-confident, Cao Ren and the other generals naturally couldn't, so they could only nod silently, but Cao Ren and the other generals also made it clear that if Sima Yi failed in the end, they would also not let Sima Yi lead this army to a dead end.

Soon, a letter was delivered outside the city, and it was clearly stated that it was submitted to Wei Tao for reading.

For this letter, even the leading generals cannot open it without permission, such a thing involves the majestic status of Wei Tao, the lord.

So the letter was quickly delivered to Wei Tao's hands, and when he opened the letter and looked at it, Wei Tao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then shook his head, and after a while, he smiled slightly bitterly.

"That's the case, but it's also true, that Sima Zhongda has the image of an eagle looking at a wolf, this kind of style is really nothing."

Wei Tao's words made everyone's eyes focus. (To be continued......)
