Chapter 12: Desire to add sin
Compared with Liu Bei's anxiety, Zhuge Liang was calm: "No, if Huang Zhong wants to attack Xiangyang, I'm afraid the city has already been broken at this time." ”
Where did Liu Bei understand what Zhuge Liang meant, and asked: "Then what is Huang Zhong's intention to surround Xiangyang with more than 100,000 troops?" ”
Zhuge Liang said confidently: "The purpose of their coming here is indeed to come for Xiangyang, if they want to storm Xiangyang, why wait until now, they must have crossed a few rivers and launched an offensive directly." They should want to take advantage of the power of the battle in Xiangyang and go straight to Shuzhong. ”
"Then how should our army respond?"
"Don't worry, my lord, although there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangyang, and the relevant generals are leading, as long as you don't go out of the city to fight, it is no problem to hold on until our reinforcements arrive. It's just ......" Zhuge Liang seemed to be worried.
"Just what? The military advisor may wish to speak out. ”
"The second general's surname is arrogant, and Huang Zhong's subordinates are also fierce generals, if the second master can't withstand the other party's provocation to go out of the city to fight, it will be a bad thing."
"I immediately write to the second brother not to act rashly."
Zhuge Liang didn't answer, according to his inference, if he guessed correctly, now the Jiangdong Army is already provoking Guan Yu, and when Liu Bei's letter arrives, I'm afraid it will be too late, but it still didn't stop Liu Bei from writing a letter. At this time, we can only hope for such a just in case.
After Liu Bei's letter was completed, he immediately sent someone or sent it to Xiangyang quickly, and Zhuge Liang took the initiative to ask Ying to help, in the face of a strong enemy, although Liu Bei was a little flustered at this time, but after all, he did not lose the style of a king. After agreeing to Zhuge Liang's going, he guarded Chengdu.
Xiangyang City.
Lu Meng, Murong and others fought with Guan Yu several times, but they were all defeated and retreated.
Huang Zhong's big tent.
Cheng Yu confidently watched the discussion of several people, but Huang Zhong saw that he was sitting like a clock, and he was not moved by it at all.
"Military division, now that our army has besieged the city of Xiangyang, and Guan Yu has fought against us several times, it seems that it will not surrender." Huang Zhong finally said what he thought.
Cheng Yu said: "Guan Yu is famous all over the world and is a hero in the world. I didn't even think he would surrender. ”
"Why is the military division so slow to send troops?" Lu Meng took the lead.
"The solution was figured out by people, if my judgment is right, Liu Bei has already sent reinforcements up. I was just thinking about how to march after the destruction of Xiangyang City. ”
The general was slightly surprised, this military division really deserves its reputation, and it is probably a matter of time before Xiangyang City is broken in such a situation, but the so-called military strategy, of course, must choose the best way to attack the city. Presumably, it already has a plan to break the city.
The general stepped forward with his fists clenched: "Doesn't the military advisor have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”
Cheng Yu said modestly: "Not yet, but Guan Yu has no vain under his fame, presumably throughout the entire military camp, only General Huang Lao can match it." ”
Everyone who said this was shocked, Huang Zhong was indeed extraordinary, but he was already over the age of old, and he was going into battle at this time to fight against such a powerful opponent. I'm afraid the consequences are unpredictable.
Huang Xu was the first to stand up against it, he knew that no one in the entire military camp except Huang Zhong was his opponent, and he hadn't fought with his father for a long time, so he didn't know what his skills were now. But to let Huang Zhong go into battle to kill the enemy, and the opponent is Guan Yu, who can't resist himself. I couldn't help but worry about my father, so I stood up against it.
Huang Zhong stopped Huang Xu's obstruction, and only said a few words after a long time: "Okay, then the old man will go into battle himself." ”
Seeing that Huang Zhong had made up his mind, Huang Xu did not stop him any longer, but demanded that he must supervise the battle, and he must retreat immediately when he is defeated. When Huang Xu said such a proposal, there was actually a sentence that was not said, in case Huang Zhong was defeated, Huang Xu would personally go into battle to break the siege.
At this time, Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Since General Huang is willing to fight in person, then I will tell you the truth." ”
Huang Zhong actually didn't want to go into battle, firstly because of Huang Xu's obstruction, and secondly because he respected heroes like Guan Yu. Reluctance to make a move. At this time, it reached the point where he had to make a move, and none of the generals under his command could defeat Guan Yu. I had to try Guan Yu in person.
"Strategist, please speak up."
After getting Huang Zhong's affirmative answer, Cheng Yu continued: "You should remember the people in Xiangyang City who kept flowing here a few days ago. In order to protect them from the impact of the flood, Guan Yu retreated to Jingshan, and as soon as our army arrived in Xiangyang, they surrounded the city, so that the people could not enter, and Guan Yu's army did not dare to go out of the city. ”
"Of course I do. These days, there are still people who keep passing by the barracks, and some people even want to enter Xiangyang but are stopped by our army. Now, those people who have gone down Jingshan but refuse to leave have been wandering around the barracks and refusing to leave. According to the wishes of the military division, the people were also placed in the army, and three meals were provided every day. Huang Xu replied without thinking.
"Haha...... Not bad. Now is the time for these people to do their part. Cheng Yu said mysteriously.
"What an effect!" Lu Meng asked subconsciously.
"To deal with a heroic tough guy like Guan Yu, we can't use some means." Cheng Yu's face was deceitful.
"By what means?" Several people asked almost at the same time. After all, that's what they care about most.
Cheng Yu walked to the front of the tent, looked at the door carefully, and made sure that no one was able to start speaking: "Guan Yu expelled the people from the city, just to put this crime on our heads, if we really fall for him to kill these innocent people, I am afraid that the people's hearts will be lost as he wishes." Then we will not be recognized by the people when we conquer Xiangyang. The use of these innocent people is extremely cunning. ”
Everyone's eyes were as wide as cows, and their eyes revealed expressions of disbelief, Huang Zhong thought for a moment before asking, "Guan Yu is not such a person, right?" ”
Huang Xu also replied: "Yes, although he has only fought with him a few times, this person seems to have a natural sense of justice, and he will never be such a villain." ”
Cheng Yu laughed when he heard this: "If you want to add to the crime, why is there no word?" ”
Everyone heard it even more in a fog, only Murong Ping touched the door a little: "What does the military advisor mean, to blame Guan Yu?" ”
Cheng Yu stopped laughing heartily and with a hint of sinisterness: "Yes, don't look at the people of Xiangyang who were recently taken in in the barracks, they are afraid that they are grateful to Guan Yu for protecting them from the impact of the flood." Although no one has erupted yet, if someone does, these people will rush to get up. ”
Only then did everyone understand what Cheng Yu meant, and Murong Ping seemed to have thought of something and continued to ask: "Is that me playing the soldier who escaped from Xiangyang City?" ”
"Haha...... The general was really discerning. Well, the less people know about this, the better. The general's new entry into Jiangdong is not easy to be noticed, and I am afraid that only you can take on this important responsibility. I've always been embarrassed to speak. Since the general said it, then General Lao had a hard trip? Cheng Yu said modestly.
