Zhou Yu arranged for the six teams of the dry road, the four teams of the water army, and Huang Gai all the way to the deception. He also ordered Lu Su and other strategists to guard the village, and led the Chinese army to supervise the battle on the building boat, and Xu Sheng, Ding Feng and other generals guarded the left and right. When the crowd was ready to stop, they waited for the night to act.

Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang had already returned to Xiakou at this time, and Liu Bei and the others were very happy to see that they were safe and sound, and pulled everyone to ask about the trip.

Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "The big war is about to start, and I have no time to tell anything else." Can the main army horse warship be ready to stop? ”

Liu Bei said: "I have already cleaned up and stopped, just waiting for the military division to call." In addition, the national teachers have also arrived in Jiangxia. ”

Since Nan Ye built the Seven Star Altar to borrow the wind, it was equivalent to making public that he had united with Sun Quan and Liu Bei to fight against Cao, and he also knew that it would be a few days to confront Cao Cao head-on. Therefore, at that time, the Dart Bureau sent a message to Jingnan to start deploying troops, and communication was inconvenient in ancient times, and when Cao Cao learned that Nan Ye's attack was already after the war, he naturally had no way to prevent it.

This time the reinforcements came to the Tiefutu and the kidnapping horses led by Pang De and Ma Dai, as well as Gao Shun's trapped camp. Don't look at the three routes of soldiers and horses combined, there are only 11,000, but their combat power is comparable to 100,000 troops.

Everyone sat down, Nan Ye, Liu Bei, and Liu Qi were in the main position, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other Liu Bei listed the officials on one side, and Pang Tong, Zhuge Jin, Ma Chao, Dian Wei and other Nan Ye listed the officials on the other side. At this time, although Nanye's soldiers were no less than Liu Bei, Jiangxia was still Liu Bei and Liu Qi's home after all, so the power to transfer troops and send generals still belonged to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei gave this power to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang did not let go of the class and said: "Guan Ping and Liu Feng listen to the order, and the two of you will lead 10,000 soldiers to drive boats and go around the river to capture Cao Cao's defeated army and seize weapons." If you encounter Cao Cao's brigade, you don't have to intercept it. ”

After the two young generals were ordered to retreat, Zhuge Liang continued: "Yide can take 5,000 military horses, cross the river and take the Wulin path, and choose a place with dense trees and reeds to ambush. After the fourth watch tonight, Cao Cao will inevitably run from that road. When he was more than halfway through his horse, he set fire in the middle. Although you can't kill all the other people, you must kill half of them. ”

Zhang Fei was very excited, and strode out, but when he walked to the door, he came back and scratched his head and asked, "There are two roads in Wulin, one leads to Nanjun and the other leads to Xiangyang." I don't know which way Cao Cao is going? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded, obviously satisfied with Zhang Fei's carefulness at this time. Then he glanced at Nan Ye and said: "Nanjun is connected to the four counties of Jingnan, Cao Cao will not dare to go, he will go to Xiangyang, and then the army will vote for Xuchang." You intercept all the way to Xiangyang. ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he took the plan and left. Zhuge Liang said to Guan Yu again: "Yun Chang can lead 5,000 soldiers to cross the river, cut off the road of Yiling, and go to the mouth of the gourd valley to ambush." Cao Cao did not dare to go to the South Yi Tomb, and he must go to the North Yi Tomb. Tonight is windy, and there will be rain in the coming day, and after the rain passes, Cao Jun will inevitably bury the pot and make rice. When Yun Chang saw the smoke rising, he set fire to it from the side of the mountain and rushed to kill it. Even if Cao Cao can't be caught, this credit is not small. ”

Nan Ye was a little surprised to hear that Zhuge Liang did not arrange for Guan Yu to guard Huarong Dao, but Zhuge Liang obviously hadn't finished speaking, so Nan Ye didn't ask for the time being, but listened to Zhuge Liang continue to say to Liu Qi: "The land of Jiangxia is the most important. The eldest prince will go back first and lead the troops of his headquarters to guard the shore of the city. Cao Cao will be defeated by those who will flee, and they can be captured alive, but they should not leave the city lightly. ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he also said goodbye to everyone and left. Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei and Chen Zhi again: "Uncle Zhi can protect the lord's soldiers and look at Fankou from a high position, and sit and watch Zhou Lang set fire tonight." ”

Ma Chao saw that Zhuge Liang had arranged Liu Bei, but he had not arranged Nan Ye's soldiers and generals, and he couldn't help it. He came here to kill Cao Cao to avenge his father, but until this moment he has not fought a battle. At that time, he asked loudly: "Today, when we meet the great enemy, Mr. Kong Ming has assigned the generals, why do you ignore us and others?" Could it be that you can't underestimate the national teacher? ”

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but laugh when he heard Ma Chao pull Nan Ye up: "General Meng Qi is not strange! The national teacher didn't want Cao Cao to know about this trip, so he didn't dare to assign it at will. After saying that, he looked at Nan Ye.

Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang have also gotten along for a long time, and they can somewhat grasp some of Zhuge Liang's character. If you let Nan Ye describe Zhuge Liang, I'm afraid it's not Zhiduo who is close to the demon, but a ghost and a ghost, and it's not enough to take advantage of it. At this time, Zhuge Liang did not assign Nan Ye's men and horses, but just waited for Nan Ye to ask for troops. The two seem to have the same result, but for Liu Bei, it is not the same.

In essence, Liu Bei and Nan Ye are allies, and Liu Bei asked Nan Ye to send troops to ask for help from allies, and it was not too much for Nan Ye to ask for some benefits afterwards. And it was different for Nan Ye to take the initiative to ask for help, Liu Bei didn't have to pay anything to get Nan Ye's strong reinforcement. Between the two, Zhuge Liang naturally chose the latter.

Although Nan Ye saw Zhuge Liang's plan, he couldn't help but drill this trick, who made him promise Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Ma Yunluo that they would avenge Ma Teng in this battle. Fortunately, Nan Ye didn't plan to ask for any benefits from Liu Bei, and he really didn't like Liu Bei's family background. So he smiled at Zhuge Liang and said, "Mr. Kong Ming is too worried!" With the matter of borrowing the wind from the Seven Star Altar, Cao Cao will know sooner or later that I will join forces with Xuande Gong and Sun Zhongmou in this battle. At this time, there is no need to cover up, and Mr. arranges it. If what I expected is correct, there should be a critical pass where Mr. Centrum has not assigned a horse. ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard Nan Ye's words, although Nan Ye took the initiative to ask for battle when he fell into the trap this time, he pointed out that Zhuge Liang still had a pass that lacked people to guard. This is equivalent to Nan Ye telling Zhuge Liang that he had seen through his plan, but he didn't bother to take advantage of Liu Bei before he took the initiative to fall into the scheme, and at the same time, he also had the intention of beating Zhuge Liang. From Zhuge Liang's point of view, Nan Ye is obviously extremely generous this time, but he didn't know that Nan Ye said these words because he knew that there was a battle of Huarong Dao.

If you are an ordinary person, it is inevitable that you will blush when your calculations are seen through, but Zhuge Liang was only stunned for a moment and returned to his usual appearance of a master outside the world and said: "The national teacher is really unpredictable!" There is indeed a dangerous pass guarded by people, whether Cao Cao is alive or dead is at this checkpoint, and the national teacher is willing to go no better. ”

Pang Tong obviously also saw Zhuge Liang's thoughts, and secretly said that his friend was really thick-skinned enough. So he took the opportunity to speak out to stimulate Zhuge Liang and said: "What Kong Ming said is Huarong Dao? This sentence means that Pang Tong also saw Zhuge Liang's thoughts.

Zhuge Liang can laugh at Nan Ye, and naturally he can also smile at Pang Tong, nodding calmly: "Exactly!" Today, Cao Cao's army is defeated and will take Huarong Road. The national teacher can pile up firewood and grass in the high mountains of Huarong Road, and set up a fire to attract Cao Cao. ”

Ma Chaoqi said: "Cao Cao saw the fireworks and knew that there was an ambush, so how could he come?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Didn't General Ma hear that there is a false and real theory in the art of war? Although Cao Cao was able to use soldiers, he was very suspicious. When he saw the smoke rising, he should only bluff, and he would inevitably come this way. ”
