Chapter 60: It's part of the plan
Let's rewind the time to when Li Gui discussed with Qin Yuewen to rescue the Guan family.
"What? Do you mean that after I saved General Guan Yu's family, I just took them to escape from the battlefield, find a place to hide, and wait until everything was over, and then find a chance to return to Shudi? ”
Qin Yuewen heard the arrangement about his part, and his tone suddenly became a little unkind.
"I know what I said, you don't have to repeat it."
Li Gui directly ignored his emotions and said calmly,
"This method is the safest, since Lu Mengjun claims to want Qiu to commit no crimes, naturally he will not disturb the people of Jingzhou, and the probability of being found hiding here is far lower than fleeing back to Shu directly."
"Of course, if you don't want to do that, that's okay. Even if you don't need our help, General Guan Yu's family members can find a place to hide and survive this episode smoothly. ”
Hearing this, Qin Yuewen's mood stabilized a little, and after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Then let them choose whether to adopt this plan or not, and you continue to talk about the next plan." ”
"Okay."
Li Gui paused here, he searched around the room, but did not find any pen and paper, and did not find any pen and paper, so he had to summon [Tie Weipin], and with the memory of playing the Three Kingdoms of the past dynasties, he drew a topographical map of the Jingzhou area on the table.
"What is this?" Qin Yuewen leaned his head over and asked curiously.
"This map of the world of life souls."
Li Gui pointed to the above position and explained,
"This is where we are, Jingzhou. To the north, there is Gangneung Fortress; Further north, is where General Guan Yu's troops are located. ”
After a pause, he moved his finger to the west of the map: "To the west of this piece is Liu Bei's base camp, and in this base camp, the closest position to General Guan Yu's troops is called Shangyong." ”
Speaking of this, Li Gui thought for a moment, and finally said his plan: "Your sister may know that in the position of Shangyong, there is the army of Liu Feng, the righteous son of General Liu Bei. My plan is divided into three aspects. ”
"The first and most important thing is here in Gangneung City. Gangneung Fortress has high walls and thick walls, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has always been a strategic location. If we can put the defenders of this area to good use and let them stop Lümeng's army, then we can buy enough time. ”
"Second, it's here in Shangyong. At this time, General Guan was confronting Cao Wei's army in Fancheng, and if there was no one to support them, they would definitely find an opportunity to counterattack if they returned hastily. Therefore, we need to send someone to Shangyong to seek Liu Feng's help and ask him to send troops to support, so that General Guan can return to Jiangling with confidence.
"In the end, as long as General Guan can lead his troops back to Jiangling in time, we can rely on the city of Jiangling to start a decisive battle with the Lü Meng army. I believe that with General Guan's strength, if he has the opportunity to fight Lü Meng head-on, then he will definitely be able to defeat him and recapture Jingzhou! ”
Hearing Li Gui's plan, Qin Yuewen's mouth opened as if he could swallow a whole egg.
“...... This...... That's amazing! ”
He lamented,
"With that little bit of information, how did you come up with this? It's like...... You've seen what happened in this world of souls, and you've read the script! ”
"Uh......"
Li Gui couldn't help but be speechless for a while, but he didn't have time to sigh at Qin Yuewen's amazing intuition, after thinking about it, he hurriedly said:
Of course, there are still a lot of uncertainties about this plan. One of the most critical is, Mi Fang, hmm...... Even the county guard of Gangneung City, I have no confidence that I will be able to convince him not to surrender to Lu Meng. ”
"Moreover, even if I succeed in convincing him not to surrender to Lü Meng, I am not sure that I will be able to obtain the military power of Gangneung, so that those bureaucrats and soldiers will obey my orders and stay in Gangneung."
"In the end, even if I am lucky enough to let them stay in Jiangling, I am not sure that with the strength of the Jiangling defenders, I will definitely be able to block Lu Meng outside Jiangling City before General Guan returns to aid Jiangling."
"There are so many unknowns in all this, and there are so many things that I am not sure of and that I am not sure, so before you sigh at my awesomeness, it is better to think carefully about whether you should do it or not."
After Li Gui finished saying this long paragraph, he fell silent.
He was waiting for Qin Yuewen's answer.
Qin Yuewen heard this, but rarely did not answer directly and rashly.
Although Qin Yuewen really wanted to help his cousin save General Guan Yu, at the same time, he was also a very smart person.
Except for some special circumstances, the Masters with the most Soul abilities in the world will definitely think carefully before executing their plans.
"Brother Gui, you just tell me one thing, it's enough."
After thinking about it, Qin Yuewen asked,
"If we had done what you said, carried out the plan, and succeeded. So can Sister Guan Guan really realize her wish to help Shu Han change his life against the sky? ”
Hearing this, Li Gui was stunned at first, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him was only concerned about such a thing.
What he values is not what life and soul ability he can awaken, what benefits he can get from changing his life against the sky, all he wants is to help Qin Ruguan realize her wish.
"Achieve...... The desire to change your life against the sky? ”
Knowing this, Li Gui began to think in his heart.
For this point, in fact, in the earth in his previous life, he had already seen relevant discussions.
And the key to this discussion is why Sun Quan betrayed the Sun-Liu Alliance and arranged for Lü Meng to cross the river in white clothes to attack Guan Yushang.
Here's the thing: Zhuge Liang's three-point strategy is indeed an excellent strategic approach, but the problem is that Cao, Liu and Sun are all together, although they form a balance of power, but once one side is too strong and threatens the other two, then the other two sides will work together against the stronger side.
Guan Yu had previously flooded the Seventh Army, which was certainly a threat to China, but it also forced Sun Quan and Cao Cao to realize the threat of Shu Han and had to unite to deal with him.
Therefore, the essential starting point of Sun Quan's sneak attack on Lü Meng is to check and balance and protect himself.
On the one hand, he didn't want Liu Bei's group to be too powerful and have the opportunity to eliminate Cao Cao's group and threaten him; On the other hand, he also wanted to strengthen the strength of Eastern Wu so that he could form a counterweight to Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
It was for the two purposes of self-preservation and checks and balances that he would order Lü Meng to use the disgraceful way of crossing the river in white clothes, but with the least loss and the greatest gain to the strength of the Wu State, to attack Guan Yu.
Then, from this point of view, we can reverse the method of Shu Han to change his life against the sky.
The key is that the decisive battle between Lu Meng and Guan Yu can make Dongwu feel pain!
As long as he can make Lü Meng feel that continuing to attack Guan Yu's legion, not only will he not be able to easily destroy the enemy army and obtain resources to achieve checks and balances and self-protection, but he will suffer great losses in his own forces, and may even allow Cao Cao to take the opportunity to annex himself, then he will retreat.
In this way, it can be exchanged for the temporary peace of the Sun and Liu families, and the safety of Guan Yu.
And if Guan Yu is safe and sound, then Liu Bei's group will not lose the entire Jingzhou, Zhang Fei will not die, the battle of Yiling will not happen, and Mr. Kong Ming's side will still be able to rely on a higher national strength than in history to complete his plan to change his life against the sky and restore the Han Dynasty.
After sorting out all these ideas, Li Gui solemnly nodded towards Qin Yuewen and gave his promise.
"Yes, at least that's what I believe."
"So, as long as I am here, then I will do my best to help you make this wish come true."
