Cheng Yu dismissed Huang Xu's strategy of using his strange troops to try to capture Xiangyang: "No, Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang are by no means idle. A rash move will only expose the strength of our army. ”

Huang Zhong also agreed with Huang Xu's strategy of opening the city gate with surprise soldiers and then attacking it by force, but after Cheng Yu analyzed the power, he gave up, and his eyebrows were worried: "According to the will of the military division, how should our army attack it?" ”

"Xiangyang is one of the important places in Jingzhou, and its own defense is high for the time being. That Guan Yunchang is familiar with reading military books, leading the army to conquer, and destroying the camp and uprooting the village. This matter needs to be decided after the situation is determined. After all, Cheng Yu is scheming, and he thinks more than the Huang family's father and son.

Just when everyone was discussing how to decide, they suddenly heard the guards outside the tent say: "Report to the general, a person outside the tent claims to be Murong Ping from Nanyang." I'm waiting to see you outside the tent. ”

When everyone heard that it was Murong Ping coming, they all had doubts in their hearts, what was he doing at this time? Cheng Yu and Huang Xu have already guessed a few points, Cheng Yu's basis is that Huang Xu's style should make another move for Murong Ping, and Huang Xu thinks that Murong Ping is a man. Do you want to go back to the countryside? Of course not!

Huang Zhong waved his hand and said, "Pass it in." ”

Huang Xu was overjoyed and personally welcomed Murong Ping into the account. With an enthusiastic face: "General Murong is here, I don't know what it is?" Huang Xu's smile made people feel a little knowing.

When Murong paralleled the center of the big tent, he knelt on the ground with a thud, clenched his fists and said to Huang Xu: "General Huang, it is the general's honor to get acquainted with General Huang in this life. And your style is even more admirable to me, if the general does not dislike Murong Ping, he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses. ”

Huang Xu hurriedly helped Murong Ping up, still showing a smile on his face: "General Murong is too modest, you can join me Jiangdong is really the uniform of my Jiangdong Army." It's like a tiger with wings for our army. ”

Murong Ping was moved: "General Meng doesn't dislike it, Murong Ping swears to follow him." ”

Maybe it's because of the excitement, if someone takes a closer look at this time, they will definitely be able to notice that Huang Xu's smile has changed slightly at this time, how can that smile give people a little bit of villainy.

Cheng Yu, who had not spoken on the side. At this time, he suddenly spoke: "The opponent of our army at this time is the righteous brother of Liu Beizhi, the king of Hanzhong, Guan Yuyun Changgong. I wonder what General Murong's good plan is? ”

Murong Ping is not stupid, but has a deep knowledge in strategy and tactics. At this time, after hearing Cheng Yu's question, of course he knew what this meant, firstly, to prove that the other party had not treated him as an outsider, and secondly, he was testing his ability. I'm afraid to ask in order to place my position in the army.

Murong Ping pondered for a moment before replying: "Xiangyang City has thick walls, not to mention the power of Yun Changgong, but it is difficult for our army to reach Xiangyang. ”

"Oh, the general is blunt." Cheng Yu was a little surprised.

Murong Ping was also sharp-eyed, seeing that Cheng Yu was dressed in Confucian clothes, holding a feather fan, and his current position, it was not something that an idle person could enter, Murong Ping concluded that it was the military advisor of Huang Zhong's army. Murong Ping clenched his fists and said respectfully: "Sir, do you have a detailed map of Xiangyang?" ”

Without waiting for Cheng Yu to make a move, Huang Xu had already led him to the location where the map was stored: "General, this is a detailed map of Xiangyang that our army obtained. ”

Murong Ping carefully looked at the location of Xiangyang on the map, and while thinking, he said: "Everyone, please see, Xiangyang is located at the source of the Xiangjiang River, and its left strategy has Danshui, and the front of the Han River has a natural barrier like Weishui. That's why I said that it would be difficult for our army to get close to Xiangyang. If it is a small force, it may be able to cross the river in time, and if a large force wants to cross the river, it will definitely be known by Guan Yu, and then as long as we find out the accurate landing place of our army, we will ambush here. The consequences are unimaginable. ”

In fact, Cheng Yu also took this into account to oppose Huang Xu's strategy of wanting to cross the river and sneak attack, Nanyang can escape if he misses it is already a fluke, if he misses here and now, then there is a tiger and wolf in front of him, and there is no way back. No matter which way to retreat, it is the power of Liu Bei's Shu army, but the way to retreat is a rolling river. Being able to see this, in Cheng Yu's eyes, naturally it can't prove Murong Ping's strength.

"In the general's opinion, how should our army march?" Cheng Yu asked again.

Murong Ping was dumbfounded for a moment, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "I have a plan, but it hurts the heavens and the peace." Don't dare to say it lightly. ”

Huang Zhong also saw what Cheng Yu meant at this time: "There are no outsiders here, the general said bluntly." ”

Hearing Huang Zhong's words, Murong Ping was moved in his heart, and after entering the tent, Murong Ping made a careful observation, this old man who seemed to be over the age of sixteen was sitting in the center of the big tent, above the handsome position. Being able to get his approval was something Murong Ping had never thought of, so when he surrendered to Cheng, he only swore to follow Huang Xu to the death.

Murong Ping sorted out his emotions before muttering, "I also said just now that these three rivers are the three natural barriers of Xiangyang City. But it is also the fatal place of Xiangyang. ”

Cheng Yu didn't think of this method, before Murong Ping arrived, he was thinking about such a strategy, but what he didn't expect was that Murong Ping already had a plan for Xiangyang as soon as he saw the map. And it's not bad what I think.

Huang Zhong and the others still didn't understand the meaning: "What does the general mean?" ”

Murong Ping looked at everyone and saw that no one answered, so he continued: "These three rivers are the three relatively small river basins in Jingzhou, but they should not be underestimated. If our army intercepts the waters of the three rivers. When the water level reaches a certain level, and then suddenly release the three rivers at the same time, then Xiangyang, the first city at the source of the Xiangjiang River downstream, will become the biggest victim of this flood. In terms of the amount of water in the three rivers, it is not necessary to use a single soldier to attack Xiangyang to take it. It's just that this move hurts and it's really heavenly. ”

Cheng Yu was impressed by Murong Ping at this time, and Lu Meng, who had never spoken, actually thought of such a plan, but everyone thought the same, but the way to deal with it was different.

Cheng Yu and Murong Ping were thinking about how to use these three rivers to achieve the desired effect, that is, to try to control the amount of water and only give a small impact. And Lu Meng wanted to directly use this strategy to disperse Xiangyang City. I still don't owe the fire.

What the general said is very true, and Zhongde has only taken this issue into account. It's nerve-wracking. Cheng Yu also obviously thought highly of Murong Ping at this time.

Seeing Murong Ping's blank face, Huang Xu thought of it at this time, and said with a smile: "Hehe...... I forgot, come on...... I introduced the general, this position is Huang Zhong Huang's old general, my father, and the commander of this expedition to Shu............ And this is Mr. Cheng Yucheng, one of my top advisers in Jiangdong. He is now a military division of our army............ This is General Lü Menglu, who led only a few thousand soldiers to resist Sima Yi's tens of thousands of troops. ”
