Chapter 1399: Strange Order
Shaking the feather fan gently, Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei with a smile on his face, and asked him rhetorically: "Where does Uncle Huang think those scouts have gone?" ”
"I haven't returned for a long time, could it be that something happened to me?" Frowning, when Liu Bei replied to Zhuge Liang, there was still a little uncertainty in his tone.
Staring at Liu Bei with a smile, Zhuge Liang did not say a word.
What Liu Bei said was exactly what he was thinking.
Being stared at by Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei only felt uncomfortable, and subconsciously asked: "Why is Mr. Zhuge staring at a certain person like this?" Could it be that what he said was wrong? ”
"No, no!" Laughing and waving his hand, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "What Uncle Huang said is true, the scouts who did not return must have been captured by the Han army!" ”
"What does Mr. mean......" got a definite answer from Zhuge Liang's mouth, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly blurted out: "Could it be that the enemy army has bypassed Bowang?" ”
"General Zhang led the army to meet the battle, if the enemy's main general was really just Xiahoudun, he must have fallen into an ambush!" With an indifferent smile on his face, Zhuge Liang said: "But the enemy army did not follow General Zhang into the valley, but stationed at the mouth of the valley. Now the soldiers and horses led by the two generals are just blocking the enemy army, and it is the emperor's uncle who really wants to attack the enemy head-on! ”
Knowing that he had to lead the army to stop the Han army, Liu Bei was taken aback, and hurriedly said to Zhuge Liang: "Sir, don't you want to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to meet many enemy troops?" ”
From Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang heard the panic that could not be concealed.
However, the look on his face was still indifferent, he shook his feather fan lightly, and asked Liu Bei: "The two armies have not yet started a war, why does Uncle Huang know that there are many enemy troops?" ”
When asked by Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't find a suitable word to continue.
Before leading the army to march, Liu Bei was full of confidence in front of Liu Biao, but when it was really time for the battle, what he thought in his heart was to ask Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to lead the army to fight.
If he really defeated the Han army and received benefits from the Han army, all the credit would fall on his head.
Even if he is defeated, he can lead the army to evacuate in time because he is far away from the battlefield.
Liu Bei learned from Zhuge Liang that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses had lost the effectiveness of intercepting and killing the Han army, but he wanted to lead the Chinese army to fight against the Han army, who did not know how many people there were.
In his early years, he thought about serving Liu Wei, although he was not accepted by Liu Wei, but Liu Bei, who had also been in contact with the Han army, knew very well that even if the Han army only came with 2,000 men, the 5,000 Jingzhou army under his command would not necessarily be an opponent.
What's more, at the moment, he only knew that the Han army had intercepted and killed the scouts he sent, and he didn't know how many soldiers and horses the Han army had.
The enemy situation is completely unknown, and Liu Bei really doesn't have much certainty of winning in the face of the Han army.
He and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, and his eyes flashed with panic that could not be concealed.
From his face, he could see that he was worried in his heart, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, as if he wanted him to be relieved, and said to him: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, if the enemy army really opens, our army will definitely win, even if it is not victorious, the enemy army will retreat!" ”
"If the enemy is outnumbered, how can they retreat?" Still worried in his heart, Liu Bei stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in the tent, and said to Zhuge Liang: "A certain life is now only in the hands of Mr., and I hope that Mr. will have mercy!" ”
Pity is what women often say to men on their first nights.
Out of fear of the Han army, Liu Bei actually said such words in front of Zhuge Liang, which made Zhuge Liang cry and laugh in his heart.
Before leaving the mountain, he had thought about following Liu Bei.
There is no other reason for Liu Bei, but Zhuge Liang analyzed the pros and cons and felt that Liu Bei, a fake imperial prince, still had some outstanding capital.
Not to mention Liu Bei's identity as a fake royal prince, aside from this identity, it is difficult for ordinary heroes to say that his personality of observing words and emotions and turning around and leaving when encountering danger is also difficult for ordinary heroes to do.
Even if he is cunning into Cao Cao, when facing the invasion of the enemy, he will not abandon his family or the advisers and good generals beside him, and he will often fall into a dilemma.
Liu Bei didn't have this kind of concern, as long as he sensed danger, he would not hesitate to flee immediately.
Such a personality, although it is a bit cunning and petty, but as a tyrant who tries to seize the Han Dynasty and does not have much capital, it is a necessary temperament that can supplement his success.
Liu Bei's expression was not unexpected by Zhuge Liang.
He shook the feather fan gently, his eyes always stayed on Liu Bei's face, and after a while, he said: "Uncle Huang doesn't have to worry, just believe in so-and-so!" ”
"What is your plan, sir?" Staring at Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei asked him again with some trepidation.
"Uncle Huang can leave 500 personal soldiers, and Mi Zhu and Mi Fang will lead 4,500 soldiers and horses to set up an ambush five miles away from here!" Smiling slightly, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "When the enemy army is here, Uncle Huang doesn't have to panic to face the battle, he only needs to set up a Yaoqin in the barracks and caress the Yaoqin for the soldiers of the two armies!" ”
"There are only 500 soldiers left, and you still have to play the piano for the soldiers of the two armies?" Zhuge Liang's strategy surprised Liu Bei, he opened his eyes suddenly, and said with a stunned face: "If the enemy army blindly rushes up to kill without asking the reason, how should I deal with it?" ”
"Uncle Huang only caress the qin, and the enemy army will retreat!" Without giving Liu Bei any explanation, Zhuge Liang said to him: "When the enemy retreats, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang will intercept and kill them halfway, although they will not win a big victory, but they can win a small victory!" ”
There are only 500 personal soldiers left around, but most of the soldiers and horses have to be transferred, and Liu Bei really doesn't dare to be convinced of Zhuge Liang's strategy.
Just when he was hesitant and didn't know what to do, a personal soldier's voice came from outside the tent: "Uncle Qiqi, ten miles away here, I found traces of the enemy!" ”
Hearing the voice of the soldiers outside the tent, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted outside: "Go inside and talk!" ”
After receiving Liu Bei's order, the soldiers opened the curtain and entered the tent, clasped their fists and bowed, first saluted Liu Bei, and then saluted Zhuge Liang, silently waiting for Liu Bei to ask him questions.
The Han army appeared less than ten miles away, Liu Bei's heart was already in a panic, and before his own soldiers saluted, he couldn't wait to ask: "When will you find the enemy army?" How many soldiers and horses are there? Who leads? ”
Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, his soldiers said to Liu Bei: "Back to Uncle Huang, the enemy army has about more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, led by Sima Yi and Yu Ban, and is rapidly advancing towards our army, and it won't take long to reach outside our military camp!" ”
Knowing that it was Sima Yi and Yu Ban who led the soldiers and horses to come, and that there were more than 10,000 Han troops here, Liu Bei was even more taken aback, and quickly turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, who was sitting opposite.
Zhuge Liang smiled, just gently shook the feather fan, and didn't say anything more.
Knowing that Zhuge Liang wanted him to exercise the strategy he had set before, Liu Bei had no other way to think of, so he had to sigh and say to the soldiers who reported the news: "Inform Mi Zhu and Mi Fang that they want him to lead 4,500 soldiers and horses, quietly meet the Han army, hibernate on the side of the road, and put the Han army here!" When the Han army passed, the two of them must not intercept and kill halfway, and it is not too late to intercept and kill until the Han army retreats! ”
"No!" Although Liu Bei's order made the pro-soldier feel very strange, the pro-soldier still responded with a fist and withdrew from the tent.
After the soldiers left, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang with a worried face, but Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and did not give him any response at all, as if the matter was completely under his control.
Seeing the full confidence on Zhuge Liang's face, although Liu Bei was apprehensive in his heart, he was also a little more stable.
When the Han army came, there were only 500 soldiers around him, and Liu Bei was also prepared, if the Han army really attacked him, he immediately jumped on horseback, no longer caring about the life or death of the officers and men in the army, and escaped as far as he could.
As for Zhuge Liang, the plan is his, in case there is any situation, he will bear the consequences!
With a plan in his heart, Liu Bei stood up and greeted Zhuge Liang: "Mr. has made a plan, and goes to the camp with a certain one to stroke the qin and treat the enemy together?" ”
Already thinking that Liu Bei would ask him to go with him, Zhuge Liang stood up, held a feather fan, clasped his hands into fists and made a deep gesture at him and said: "Uncle Huang has an order, and a certain order is to obey it!" ”
Zhuge Liang accompanied Liu Bei out of the tent, placed Yaoqin in the camp, and waited for the Han army to come.
The Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers, who received the order to lead the army to leave the barracks, were full of confusion, and they didn't know how Liu Bei would give such an order.
There were more than 10,000 Han troops who rushed here, and Liu Bei only left 500 soldiers and horses to guard him, but he transferred them and most of the soldiers and horses.
This practice, in the eyes of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, is tantamount to suicide!
Unable to hold back the doubts in their hearts, the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang did not immediately lead the army to leave, but rushed to the Shuai tent together, wanting to ask Liu Bei for a reason.
There was still a long way to go from the tent, and the two saw several of Liu Bei's personal soldiers placing a low table and Yaoqin outside the tent.
Seeing this scene, the two brothers were even more puzzled in their hearts.
Liu Bei's actions were too weird, and they were already weird beyond their imagination.
The enemy's army was approaching, and seeing that a battle was about to begin, Liu Bei not only didn't think about how to deploy troops to meet the Han army, but instead set up a yaoqin outside the tent, looking leisurely and complacent.
In this way, there is a far gap between Liu Bei and Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, who knew each other back then.
Not only that, but this practice also completely subverted the two people's perception of the arrangement.
From ancient times to the present, no general who has led the army has ever put on such a leisurely demeanor when the enemy army comes.
Could it be that Liu Bei was frightened by the Han army and became a little stupid?
