Chapter 1144: The Viper Bares Its Fangs
"Why doesn't Ma Chao fight?" Although the current situation is not bad, Zhang Fan is difficult to rest assured after all, Ma Chao's actions are a little too negative, although the morale of his army is not high, and the training is insufficient, but the number is there, there is no need to defend it so stubbornly, there must be a hidden secret.
"What could it be?"
This is an unsolvable problem, the news of Zhuge Liang's outing is tightly sealed, Zhang Fan has no way of knowing, and Ma Chao is closed to the city, the wall is clear, and the slightest flaw is not exposed at all, how to guess?
An atmosphere of mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, Zhang Fan is faintly uneasy in his heart, this is too weird, let him doubt whether he is in a hurry to go to battle this time, you must know that he only has 300,000 soldiers and horses, although Jizhou is recruiting troops quickly, but training takes time, and it takes time to form, his current military strength is not overwhelming, and even worse, but he has a huge advantage at the level of generals, but Ma Chao is now putting on a posture of stubborn defense, and the advantage of generals in siege warfare is not so obvious, and he is invisibly restrained.
"What to do?" Zhang Fan was a little dazed, if Ma Chao put down the formation, he would naturally not be afraid, but now he couldn't figure out his intentions, which made people a little helpless.
can't think of a way, Zhang Fan can only turn to Jia Xu Pang Tong for help, and there are two top strategists by his side, wouldn't it be a pity not to?
Pang Tong sighed slightly: "I have known Kong Ming for a long time, I know him very well, this person is not only brilliant in wisdom, but also in courage, it stands to reason that he should not avoid war, now it seems that he must have ulterior motives, and he is willing to give up so many villages in Si Li for this, etc., must have a great plan, and must be guarded against!" ”
Zhang Fan nodded, feeling reasonable, and hurriedly asked, "Then according to what Mr. sees, how should I go next?" ”
Pang Tongyi smiled: "It's okay! No matter what Zhuge Liang is planning, we just need to respond to all changes with the same, there are more than 100,000 coalition troops in the Sili area, but they are scattered in various cities, among which Luoyang is the gathering place of the army, where it has become a scorched earth, although it is now rebuilt, but the defense force is still relatively weak, we can send a mobile army to surround the side, so that the army in the city does not dare to go out, and then the main army attacks the nearby city, no matter what Zhuge Liang has planned, we just advance layer by layer, take advantage of it and leave, what can he do with me? ”
Pang Tong's plan was very thorough, and told Zhang Fan one by one, didn't he Ma Chao not go out of the city, then send Yanlong Iron Cavalry to make an offensive posture, always keeping an eye on the Luoyang Imperial City, and Zhang Fan personally led the main army to attack the surrounding cities, and immediately transferred the civilians in the city after the breakthrough, and if he could defend it, he would burn it if he couldn't defend it, so that he could slowly eat away at the strength of the coalition army and achieve the goal of victory.
It can be seen that Pang Tong is still very jealous of Zhuge Liang, generally speaking, it is a great achievement to capture the city, and now it is even more important to fight for an inch of land, why destroy the city, but he said that he would burn the city as a last resort, so that he almost admitted that his combat power was not the opponent of the other party, and he could not protect the city, which was an incredible thing for a confident person like Pang Tong, but he said it, which made Zhang Fan's face more dignified, it seems that things are really not good.
At this time, Zhang Fan saw Jia Xuzheng's eyes flickering again, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Did Mr. Wenhe think of something?" ”
Jia Xu hugged his fist at Zhang Fan and slowly spoke: "I just think that it seems that the lord and Brother Shiyuan are too obsessed with Zhuge Liang, which is not good for the overall situation. ”
These words made Zhang Fan surprised, Pang Tong was also slightly stunned, and then they all smiled bitterly, this is the case, Zhang Fan is because Zhuge Liang's name is too big, like a Mount Tai pressed on it, always give priority, and Pang Tong is because he is too familiar with Zhuge Liang, the two are equally famous, as the saying goes, there is no first martial arts and no second, and there may not be no desire to win between the two, and now each is its master, this idea is heavier, so it took too much thought unconsciously, but lost objectivity.
Pang Tong bowed to Jia Xu: "Thank you Mr. for your advice, I almost committed a taboo!" ”
Jia Xu hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Actually, our main goal now should not be on Zhuge Liang, although this person is resourceful, but he does not have a formal official position, on the contrary, now that Ma Chao is in command of the whole army, we should start from him to win!" ”
"Ma Chao?" Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment: "It's not the same?" Ma Chao is now in Luoyang, with a large army to defend it, it is difficult to attack with our current strength, and Zhuge Liang is by his side, he will definitely give advice for it......"
Jia Xu smiled gloomily: "If you want to take Ma Chao, you don't have to start with him!" ”
"Huh?" Zhang Fan was a little dazed, and then suddenly remembered something, a bright light appeared in his eyes, and Pang Tong even stroked his palms and smiled, even calling out the wonderful strategy.
Jia Xu said: "Although I don't know what Zhuge Liang is planning, but he is now on the defensive, compared to this plan still needs time to carry out, our army is not much, siege warfare is easy to lose, in this case, why send a general to feint, but the main force of soldiers and horses quietly retreated, immediately go to meet with General Sun Ce, and take Ma Teng directly?" If Ma Teng is defeated, Ma Chao's heart will be chaotic, and it is easier to make mistakes, and I am afraid that Zhuge Liang will not obey as much as before when he is angry and anxious, this is our fighter! ”
"Mr. Wenhe's words are amazing!"
Pang Tong sincerely admired, this trick is really wonderful, and now Zhang Fanbing is out of the division, anyone only thinks that he is determined to win the division, and wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but now the division is defended like an iron bucket, and there is a boundless conspiracy brewing, rather than fighting steadily, it is better to launch a surprise attack, now Ma Chao led the army out, Xiliang is empty, and is fighting with Sun Ce, in this case, if Zhang Fan attacks blatantly, the Xiliang army will inevitably be defeated, and the backyard is on fire, Ma Chao is difficult to maintain a normal heart, In this way, cracks have appeared in the original flawless arrangement, although it is likely to usher in Ma Chao's madness, but under this madness, it is also where the fighter is, this is a double-edged sword, which can hurt the enemy and hurt himself!
Zhang Fan's face was a little weird, this Jia Xu still didn't offer a plan, a plan must be a poisonous plan, this trick is too poisonous, directly draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, no matter what plan you have, I don't care at all, you play yours, I play mine, see who can have the last laugh!
Pang Tong was also convinced, and he might not be able to think of this kind of plan, but before that, he focused on how to defeat Zhuge Liang, not how to defeat Ma Chao, so he was a step slower, but he was not discouraged, but instead had a sympathy for Jia Xu, what kind of sleeping dragon and phoenix chick can win the world? There are so many heroes in the world!
Zhang Fan's eyes slowly lit up: "Just according to what Mr. said!" ”
