Shinno, barracks.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang sat down.

Today's Liu Bei is full of spirits.

Garrison Xinye, the soldiers under his command have exceeded 20,000, plus the 100,000 stone grain obtained from Liu Xiu, as well as the 10,000 stone grain given by Liu Biao, and the grain of Xinye itself, Liu Bei's food no longer has to worry about being insufficient.

The 20,000 troops have been continuously trained, and they have already possessed a certain combat effectiveness.

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Strategist, we have food and grass soldiers, now everything is ready, what should we do next?"

With soldiers and food, Liu Bei also had an idea to expand his power.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and said unhurriedly: "There is only one thing that the lord has to do now, to maintain his glory and enhance his strength." ”

Liu Bei couldn't wait to say: "Don't you still send troops?"

Zhuge Liang asked, "Where does the lord want to attack?"

Liu Bei didn't think about it, and said without hesitation: "Naturally, we will attack the Cao army stationed in Nanyang County and drive the Cao army out of Nanyang County, while we will be based in Nanyang." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The lord thinks that he can compete with Cao Cao now, or does the lord think that Nanyang County can gain a firm foothold?"

A basin of cold water was poured on Liu Bei's head.

Liu Bei wanted to fight, but he was not stupid, he understood that with his troops, he could not compete with Cao Cao.

In the end, Liu Bei shook his head and said, "If you want to fight Cao Cao, it's impossible." ”

Zhuge Liang looked relieved, and said slowly: "It's good that the lord understands, Cao Cao occupies half of the country, the soldiers are strong and strong, and it is impossible to confront Cao Cao with 20,000 troops." The most important thing is that Nanyang is the place of the four battles, which cannot be used as a foundation. The lord has no foundation, and the supply of food and soldiers is the problem. So, the lord can only wait for the opportunity now. ”

"What chance," Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang's eyes narrowed, a light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "An opportunity to enter Jingzhou, or an opportunity to enter Yizhou." Jingzhou or Yizhou is the foothold of the lord. ”

Liu Bei nodded, understanding Zhuge Liang's words.

Liu Bei changed his words and said, "Military advisor, there is one more thing. Liu Xiulian Kejiangdong, Jiangdong is in crisis. When this news reached Cao Ren's ears, he should not sit idly by, perhaps, he might wave his army to attack Xinye. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The lord is too worried, Cao Ren got the news, and at most he pretended to disturb him." Cao Cao's army was not accustomed to water warfare, and in the case of insufficient preparation, Cao Cao would not easily start the battle, so it was decided that Cao Ren would not be able to go south in a big way. Cao Ren's troops attacked at most, which made Liu Biao worried, and then asked Liu Biao to transfer Liu Xiu back to Xiangyang to resist, relieve the pressure on Jiangdong, and create a situation where the two tigers competed. ”

"Newspaper"

A loud voice came from outside the hall.

A military general wearing armor, a silver helmet, and a sword at his waist walked in. He is lofty, heroic, and has a strong heroic spirit between his eyebrows, giving people a high-spirited impression.

This person is Liu Bei's henchman Chen Dao.

Liu Bei has 20,000 elites under his command, but there is also an elite guard, which is the Bai Yu soldiers led by Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi led the Bai Yu soldiers.

"Meet the Lord"

Chen Zhi walked into the hall and saluted respectfully.

Liu Bei had a faint smile on his face and asked, "Why did Uncle Zhi come?"

Chen Zhizheng said: "I just received news that Cao Ren of Wanxian County has signs of sending troops. At the junction of Xinye and Jianyang, there is often friction. ”

Liu Bei said: "It's okay, continue to inquire about the news." As long as Cao Ren did not send troops to attack Xinye on a large scale, there was no need to scruple. ”

"No"

Chen Zhi nodded, then turned and retreated.

Guan Yu took over and said, "Military Division, Cao Ren's army has signs of sending troops. Although the military advisor's analysis is reasonable, what if Cao Ren suddenly attacks?"

Zhuge Liang said: "General Guan is too worried, even if Cao Ren's army suddenly attacks, our troops are enough to deal with it." So, there is no need to worry about Cao Ren. ”

Zhang Fei snorted: "It's not interesting to confront Cao Ren, it's better to send troops."

Liu Bei said: "Third brother, you know how to fight and kill." ”

"What the eldest brother said is that I know that the military advisor is right. Zhang Fei muttered a few sentences and nodded in reply.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand lightly, and said unhurriedly: "Lord, the focus now is on Xiangyang." It is expected that Liu Xiu will definitely be transferred back, and then there will be a good show. Now, we just need to watch the fire from the other side and pay attention to the news in Xiangyang. ”

Liu Bei said: "The military advisor thinks there will be something good"

Zhuge Liang chuckled and said his own inference, and after Liu Bei heard it, his heart was happy.

Nanchang County, Taishou Mansion.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ben became brothers and sisters, and the two met in Nanchang County and were temporarily stationed in Nanchang County. Zhou Yu was defeated by Liu Xiu this time and became the general of the defeated army, so he could not blame Sun Ben. Moreover, Liu Xiu and Huang Zhong's soldiers came to the city, which brought great pressure to Nanchang.

At this time, Luling County, Jiujiang County and other places have deployed troops to support. Even Zhou Yu got the news that Sun Quan was a vassal to Cao Cao and was willing to obey Cao Cao's orders.

Zhou Yu is so proud, but now he wants to let the people from all counties come to the rescue.

In order to reverse the situation, Sun Quan had to go to the table and be a minister.

A series of things made Zhou Yu feel very uncomfortable, and his self-esteem could not bear such a situation. Zhou Yu had already convened his generals to discuss ways to defeat Liu Xiu.

After repeated deductions, they all failed in the end, and Liu Xiu's army could not be defeated.

In the hall, Lu Meng scratched his head and said, "The Grand Governor, the soldiers transferred from various counties have already arrived in Nancheng County, and they can attack Liu Xiulai." Instead of arranging a strategy to fight, it is better to attack. ”

"There is no plan in battle, once the army is defeated, the army will be defeated like a mountain, and it is not advisable. ”

Zhou Yu shook his head and refused, he was unwilling to attack, and the attack might not work.

Ling Tong's eyes rolled slightly, and he said: "Metropolitan Governor, since you can't think of a solution, why don't you just make trouble in Liu Xiu's rear, Youxian is Liu Xiu's base camp, and it may be more appropriate to go to Youxian to make trouble." ”

Trouble

A bright light flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes. Suddenly a new idea occurred in his mind. He quickly turned his brain, and a brand-new plan quickly took shape in Zhou Yu's mind, and then perfected it.

Zhou Yu said: "Ben Du thought of a new strategy, and defused Liu Xiu's offensive without blood. ”

Lu Meng said: "Please give instructions to the capital"

Zhou Yu thought of a plan before, and when he deduced, there were difficult links in the middle, so that he had to give up the implementation. Zhou Yu thought of a new plan again, and Lu Meng didn't have too many expectations in his heart, so he just waited for Zhou Yu to say it and deduce it.

Ling Tong's eyes were full of expectation, as long as he had the opportunity, he would always give it a try.

Zhou Yu's eyes were confident, and he said, "This time's plan will definitely be able to be deduced." ”

"The first step, we release rumors in Xiangyang, the second step, the third step"

"Plan step by step, this time, it will definitely put Liu Xiu in a predicament. ”

"Yuzhang County has no Liu Xiu to preside over the overall situation, especially Liu Xiu is too busy to take care of himself in Xiangyang, and the Jingzhou army of Yuzhang County will definitely be affected. At that time, it was our chance to counterattack. ”

Zhou Yu said: "If you want to defeat Liu Xiu, you can only use tactics. ”

After hearing this, Lu Meng carefully calculated in his heart.

Ling Tong Sun Ben and the rest of the generals were also deducing the plan proposed by Zhou Yu.

They deduced step by step, combined with the actual situation in Jingzhou, and finally, Lü Meng took the lead in saying: "This plan of the Metropolitan Governor is feasible, but the last general believes that one person must be sent to Xiangyang to preside over the overall situation in order to ensure the implementation of the plan." ”

Ling Tong nodded and agreed: "Lu Meng's suggestion is also approved by the general. To stay up-to-date with the latest news and make minor adjustments to the plan, you have to be in charge of the overall situation yourself. ”

Zhou Yu flicked his sleeves and said, "This time, the governor will personally go to Xiangyang." ”

"Ahh

Lu Meng and Ling Tong exclaimed, a look of surprise on their faces.

Lu Meng refused: "As the commander of the army, the Metropolitan Governor cannot easily take risks. The governor of the capital, the last general is willing to go to Xiangyang and preside over the situation in Xiangyang. ”

Ling Tong echoed: "The last general also does not approve of the Grand Governor going in person. ”

Zhou Yu said solemnly: "The plan was made by the Governor, and the Governor knows every part of the plan best, and it is most appropriate for the Governor to go there in person." ”

Lu Meng said: "The Metropolitan Governor, the last general is willing to go." As the commander of the army, the Metropolitan Governor must preside over the war in Yuzhang County. Isn't it true that the Metropolitan Governor doesn't believe in the last general?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "You are flexible and changeable, and your martial arts are not bad, so this governor naturally believes in you." ”

Lu Meng said: "Since the Metropolitan Governor believes in the last general, let the last general go to Xiangyang." It is also extremely interesting to be able to fight with Liu Xiu and put Liu Xiu in a predicament. ”

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment and said, "In this case, it is up to you to go in person." ”
