After surveying the terrain and returning to the army, Zhuge Liang asked, "Isn't there any news from Xiangyang?"

Wu Yi frowned and said, "There is no news so far, Xiangyang is a heavy town, and the city is tall, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take it."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Cao Ren's army is dispatched to take Jiangling, this is Cao Pi's real purpose, so Xiangyang must be empty, no one would expect that General Guan would attack thousands of miles, but I am afraid that Xiangyang has been taken."

Chen Zhi asked in surprise, "How is this possible, once Xiangyang-Dan is taken, Jingzhou will definitely vibrate, but the people are ignorant just now, and it can be seen that General Guan's Ping Pong Horse should be dispatched at the end."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "Since there is no news, it is very likely that General Guan took Xiangyang smoothly without Fei Ping-Ping."

Zhang Wei asked, "Does the prime minister mean that General Guan is already in the city?"

Before Zhuge Liang could reply, he saw the whistle horse hurrying forward and reported, "Report to the prime minister, Lu Meng sent someone to ask Chai Sang for help, and Wu General Gan Ning led 50,000 Jing Ping Pong to Wulin."

Zhuge Liang waved back the person, shook the feather fan lightly and said, "Although Lu Meng has a general, but the strategy is still worse in the end, and now he is being played by Cao Ren like this, it can be seen that the retribution is not happy."

Wu Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "That's right, Lu Meng sneaked up on General Guan before, how could he have thought that he was also attacked by Cao Jun, it's really providential!"

Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently and asked Chen Zhi, "Uncle Zhi, have you prepared the three thousand Cao Ping Pong armor?"

Chen Zhi hugged his fists and replied, "Prime Minister rest assured, you are ready" Zhuge Liang said to the generals, "Gan Ning-come, Cao Ren will definitely not be able to hold Jiangling, our opportunity will come, everyone will go and prepare separately, there will be news in the third day."

3 Earn Gangneung

The other generals all went to prepare, Zhuge Liang left Chen Zhi alone, and said, "Uncle Zhi, the Danyang Ping Pong you trained is the most elite of our army, even the Praetorian Guards of General Xiang Pet are inferior, this battle, you have to be careful!"

Chen Zhi hugged his fists and said, "The prime minister is lenient, he has not been trusted by His Majesty, and he has handed over the elite to me to command, dare not do his best?" Now that he has become an independent army, he should fight hard to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "There is no doubt about Shuzhi's ability, this battle is all about the power of your troops, and I will arrange it when the time comes."

Chen Zhi asked, "When does the prime minister plan to act?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "The time is still ripe, let's wait a little longer!"

While waiting for the news, Zhuge Liang changed his clothes, and Chen Zhi pretended to be a merchant to inspect the people's situation everywhere, this - the day arrived - the farm yard, ready to ask for some water to drink, the master saw that Zhuge Liang was extraordinary, and the tone was a native of Jingzhou, thinking that he was a big family, and rushed into the house

As soon as Zhuge Liang entered the hall, he saw a portrait hanging in the center, which was very similar to Guan Yu, and asked, "Old man, what is offered in the hall seems to be a portrait of General Guan, right?"

The master bowed down and replied, "What Mr. said is true, we are grateful for the kindness of General Guan in the past, when he was in Jingzhou, he served every family, although he is no longer there, but he still remembers his old kindness, and dare not forget."

Zhuge Liang nodded happily, and asked about some other information casually, then left with Chen Zhi, and sighed on the way, "General Guan is so popular in Jingzhou, the people will compete spontaneously to worship, and the people's will be like this, and it is okay to take Jingzhou."

Cao Ren probed Gan Ning to save Ping Pong and understood that the real contest had just begun, only by repelling Gan Ning's reinforcements, Wu Ping Pong would retreat, and Jiangling would also be completely stabilized, and immediately let Xu Huang lead the Ping Pong Horse of the headquarters to Ulin to intercept the aid Ping Pong Lu Meng had long expected that Cao Ren would send Ping Pong to Wulin Port, so that the deputy general would be stationed in the public security, and continue to feint Jiangling, and he personally led Jing Ping Pong to the road to Ulin to set up an ambush, Xu Huang met the Gan Ning army to fight - Array, on the way back was attacked by Lu Meng Fu Ping, and Gan Ning who came with him,

Defeated and almost completely annihilated

When Cao Ren heard that Xu Huang had been defeated, he realized that Lu Meng personally went to ambush Xu Huang, so he simply planned and led Ping Ping to attack the public security, intending to cut off Lu Meng's return route, and thus block Wu Ping in Nanjun

But he didn't want Lu Meng to make arrangements earlier, and when he finally arrived at the Gong'an Port, he was also attacked by the ambush ping, so he didn't dare to go rashly, so he had to retreat to the city and guard Jiangling with Xu Huang

Xu Huang tied himself to Cao Ren's tent to ask for guilt, and Cao Ren personally untied Xu Huang and said, "Gongming is not familiar with geography, and I am responsible for this matter, how should I deal with the enemy now?" Xu Huang replied, "Jiangling is new, the people's hearts are attached, don't let Lu Meng come to attack with Ping Ping, Gan Ning's reinforcements have also arrived outside Jiangling City, Wu Jun will definitely attack the city in order to win quickly, it is better for you and me to lead the army, tonight I will rob the camp, but Xiao Xiao is ambushed on the road to the public security, if Lu Meng comes."

Save, so that those people will not come back"

Cao Ren was ambushed by Lu Meng twice, and he was depressed in his heart, and when he heard Xu Huang's strategy, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "What Gongming said is very true, if Jiangling can be saved, then Jingzhou will be fixed, and it will not be in vain that His Majesty will personally go to Yangzhou to attract the table tennis force of Eastern Wu."

The two of them immediately assigned tasks, Xu Huang led a team of table tennis horses to attack Gan Ning, and he took Niu Jin and Gao Qian to ambush on the passage to the public security, and the table tennis horses were prepared to set off at the second watch in the evening

The news of Xu Huang and Cao Ren's successive defeats had reached Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard the news, "Everyone, our opportunity is tonight."

The generals listened, and they were overjoyed and waited for Zhuge Liang to arrange the task

Zhuge Liang instructed, "General Chen Zhi, order you to lead the headquarters of the Ping Pong Horse to disguise yourself as Cao Jun when it is dark, ambush outside Jiangling City, wait for the Cao Army in the city to go out, and after half an hour, step forward to defraud the city gate, and after the Cao Army opens the city, immediately seize the city gate and cut the rope of the drawbridge."

Chen Zhi agreed—and went to prepare

Zhuge Liang then instructed the other generals to bring their own headquarters to prepare, and in the evening they followed him to Jiangling City, and at the same time sent someone to deliver a letter to Wu Ban, asking him to lead the rear army to meet him

Chen Zhi stopped ten miles north of Jiangling City, and sent scouts to observe the movement of Jiangling at all times, until the second watch, the gate of Jiangling City opened, and two teams of men and horses came out one after another, and the second team of men and horses was Cao Ren, heading towards the direction of public security

Chen Zhi was overjoyed when he heard about the return, and after nearly half an hour, he led the table tennis horse from the north of Gangneung City to Gangneung

After a short time approaching the city, those people did not hide their traces, and were soon discovered by the defenders of the city, and Ping Pong saw that the team of Ping Pong horses was approaching, and the defenders shouted, "Who is coming?"

Chen Zhi rode forward and replied, "We are reinforcements sent by Shangyong, General Cao Xiu heard that Dongwu had saved Pingping, so he sent me to meet the defenders of the city, and we finally arrived at night."

The garrison was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Is there a ping pong talisman?"

Chen Zhi said angrily when he heard this, "Who is you, so bold? We are waiting for us to come from afar, you don't know how to greet you, but make it difficult, if you delay the military situation, can you afford it?"

Then he took it out of his bosom and waved it, "The table tennis charm is here, please go down to the city to check."

Because it was dark, even if he didn't move the city, he couldn't see what Chen Zhi was holding, not to mention that Chen Zhi was still waving around, but seeing that Chen Zhi was straightforward, those people didn't dare to slack off, so they had to put down the suspension bridge and send someone down to the city to check

Chen Zhi waited for the suspension bridge to come down, secretly clenched the dagger in his hand, and walked to the city gate, - the name Cao Ping came over to check, Chen Zhi walked forward with a smile, and handed the iron piece in his hand to the other party

That Cao Ping was stunned, and before he could ask, Chen Zhi put his arms around his neck and laughed, "It turns out that you are on an errand in Jiangling, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Before the man could react, he was killed on the spot by Chen Dao's stabbing center, Chen Zhi and the deputy general continued to help him and said as he walked inside, "You see this is my ping-pong talisman, but I need to check it carefully."

Chen Zhi's pro-table tennis machine next to him also rushed forward, supported the person, and greeted him, "It turned out to be the third child, and I thought you were dead."

The other Cao soldiers were stunned, they didn't expect to meet acquaintances here, and they finally found that they were in a strange situation, Chen Zhi was in front, and the soldiers and pings in the back had already followed behind, all wearing Cao Ping Pong armor, and the defenders were still at the end

When he arrived at the city gate, Chen Zhi suddenly shouted, pulled out his sword and killed the two Cao Ping who were guarding the gate, and followed the elite behind him to rush into the city gate, and the soldiers behind him also quickly cut the ropes on the suspension bridge and occupied the city gate

When the garrison heard the screams, they felt that something was wrong, and when they were panicking, they suddenly heard the shouts outside the city, it was Wu Yi and others who led the army to arrive, and most of the Cao army had been taken out of the city, only less than 10,000 people defended the city, and scattered everywhere, and when they heard the sound of fighting in the northern city, the Shu army had occupied most of the city, and they all broke and fled
