Chapter 60: Pang Tong's Strategy
In the face of Liu Qi's suggestion, Pang Tong did not refuse.
Compared with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong is not so omnipotent, but his main plus point is above the military.
As one of the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, Pang Tong's ability is beyond doubt.
The three of them sat down.
At this moment, Pang Tong no longer thinks about talents, he is ready to take this opportunity to show his strength.
Looking at Zhuge Liang, Liu Qi said:
"It's only February now, and Cao Cao is already deploying troops, so I'm afraid I'm really about to go south."
Zhuge Liang replied:
"The lord is right, Cao Cao is already rectifying the soldiers and horses, but he doesn't want the lord to sit big.
Now that Sun Quan is nominally subduing Cao Cao, he should also take a little precautions in Jingzhou. Cao's army joined forces with Jiangdong and attacked from the direction of Jiangxia, but this matter is unlikely. ”
Listening to what Zhuge Liang said, Liu Qi nodded slightly.
He knew what Zhuge Liang meant.
The Jiangdong naval army had been abolished, and now surrendering Cao Cao was only an expedient measure. If Cao Jun is really allowed to enter Jiangdong, it will be tantamount to luring a wolf into the house, and I am afraid that even a fake surrender will have to become a real surrender.
However, the heart of defense is indispensable.
If you are afraid, you are afraid of Sun Quan's head iron, and it is not impossible if people only want to take revenge on Jingzhou.
Then, Liu Qi looked at Pang Tong and asked:
"Shiyuan, what is your opinion?"
Pang Tong pondered for a moment and said:
"In fact, if the situation is today, Kong Yin should have made it clear to the lord. If Cao Cao wanted to dominate the world, he had to capture Jingzhou, and then Jiangdong and Yizhou.
In fact, except for Jiangdong, Yizhou is not afraid at all, Liu Zhang is the lord of mediocrity, although he sits in the country of abundance, but he has no enterprising heart, and sooner or later he will be occupied by others. ”
Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang each nodded.
Then Pang Tong continued:
"And Jiangdong Sun Quan, as Kong Yin said, the Jiangdong Navy was almost wiped out, and they must be recuperating now, and they dare not rashly participate in the war.
In the land of Jingbei, the lord has Liu Xuande and Jingzhou foot soldiers, and the towns on the left and right form a corner.
In this way, although it is not so easy to defeat Cao Cao. But it was not difficult to delay the attack of Cao's army. As long as the time is delayed, there is a strategy in the next place to help the lord break through the Cao army. ”
Liu Qi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly came to his senses:
"Shi Yuan might as well elaborate!"
Pang Tong nodded slightly and said his thoughts:
"Now in the waters of Jingzhou, there should be two sailors under the command of the lord, that is, the Xiangyang Navy and the Jiangxia Army. Now the Jiangdong Navy has no strength to fight again, and the Cao Army is not accustomed to water warfare.
With the Xiangyang navy sitting on the river, it can resist the enemy's navy. In this way, the lord can dispatch the Jiangxia naval army, go straight to Shouchun Runan, and advance Xuchang. ”
Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang has already listened to Yin Bai.
Seeing that Liu Qi was a little dazed, he immediately asked people to bring pen and paper, and he drew a sketch.
It's the water up there.
Zhuge Liang explained:
"According to Shiyuan's law, now Jiangdong is no longer able to stop the Jiangxia naval army, and can detour from here to Shouchun, and the Cao army mobilizes a large number of troops, and the defense must be empty.
As long as our army attacks, it is nothing more than two results, either the Cao army is distracted and wants to support, or our army will naturally take Shouchun, and then even seize Runan and other places. ”
Liu Qi looked at it for a while, and suddenly said:
"Is this Wei Wei saving Zhao?"
Pang Tong smiled and said:
"There are indeed some similarities, but the main reason for this plan is that if Cao Jun comes back to help, it will be a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and then the battle situation in Jingbei will give the lord a chance.
If the Cao army is bent on attacking Jingzhou, I believe that with the elite of the Jiangxia naval army, even if it is just to capture Shouchun, it will be enough for the Cao army to be in turmoil, I don't know what will happen to the Lord's will? ”
In fact, these things are not Liu Qi's strengths.
However, although he can't mention it, he still has the ability to distinguish. I have to say that Pang Tong's plan is indeed wonderful, and it properly uses the Jiangxia naval army.
Previously, Liu Qi was tinkering with the Jiangxia Naval Army, just wanting to get Jiangdong as soon as possible, and then defend the Yangtze River.
Now that I think about it, since the Jiangdong Navy has sent it.
Where did Cao Cao come from the elite of the navy?
At least on the water, Liu Qi has an absolute advantage.
Jiangdong, who had lost the main force of the naval army, even if Gan Ning led the troops to walk in front of their door, he could only watch dryly.
If you really want to come out, you have to give a beating!
It's really worthy of Feng Xiao, although the plan has not yet been implemented, but being able to put forward this suggestion has already impressed Liu Qi.
He said seriously:
"Shiyuan is really powerful, this plan is indeed feasible."
Pang Tong was not complacent, and immediately said:
"The lord has a good reputation, Cao Jun is strong after all, and the strategy of the party is not foolproof. It is still necessary to go to the battlefield, when the soldiers of the two sides fight, to see the true chapter. ”
Liu Qi nodded and said:
"What the military advisor said is true, since this Cao Cao wants to go south, let him see how powerful Jingzhou is."
Speaking of Cao Cao, he is indeed powerful now.
But Liu Qi didn't feel panicked.
Because he knew that Cao Cao was not invincible.
The Battle of Chibi in history almost knocked Cao Cao's bottoms off. Although this battle cannot be replicated, how can he be afraid of the people of Jingzhou working together from top to bottom?
In the end, who is strong and who is weak, you have to fight with real swords and guns.
Listening to Liu Qi's bold words, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong both looked awe-inspired. At this time, Liu Qi's difference can be seen even more, and others may have been frightened when they heard Cao Jun.
But in front of him, Liu Qi was not only panicked, but also eager to try.
The most critical thing is.
Liu Qi not only has the determination to win, but also will not arrange transfers arbitrarily, and has great respect for their suggestions. Such a person's popularity, as well as the way of employing people, is really rare.
I have to admit it.
Now Liu Qi still has a bit of a yin lord.
If one day, Liu Qi can really restore the Han Dynasty, and the goals and ambitions in their hearts can be realized one by one.
Thinking of this, Pang Tong immediately bowed and said:
"Pang Tong will do his best to assist the lord."
Liu Qi hurriedly held him up and said:
"My son also believes that with two assistants, Jingzhou will be able to change the previous decline and regroup!"
Then, Liu Qi asked people to arrange a residence for Pang Tong.
Looking at Pang Tong's departing figure, he said meaningfully to Zhuge Liang:
"Strategist, Shiyuan is here, it should be recommended by you!"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said:
"The lord misunderstood, in fact, Liang didn't know if Pang Shiyuan came to Xiangyang, or if he came to the door.
wanted to take the school master's exam, and Liang showed him the way. ”
Liu Qi didn't care either, and said with a smile:
"I see, the world has a saying, Wolong and phoenix, you have to settle the world, and now my son has two people, what should I do?"
At this time, Zhuge Liang couldn't say anything.
After all, these are just words.
Even his father-in-law, Pang Degong, Sima Hui and others created a joke in order to make a name for Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.
But in Zhuge Liang's heart, why don't you want to do a career?
