After Liu Bei made up his mind to postpone the decisive battle, his admiration for Zhuge Jin naturally became more and more thorough, and he was faintly regarded as a talent of Liangping.

Unfortunately, the planning process of a complicated war is by no means something that can be solved with a few simple words.

There are also countless tactical details and execution-level problems ahead, such as thorns everywhere waiting to be cleared.

Who made Liu Bei's capital too thin, and the fault tolerance rate was outrageously low.

Sun Qian, who was listening, always remained calm, and soon found that Zhuge Jin's plan was still not perfect.

So Sun Qian immediately boldly pointed out:

What Mr. Fang just said is indeed deafening, and it also solves the first two points of the three hidden dangers, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. But how do you solve that last hidden danger?

After all, there are many long nights and dreams, and every day that drags on, the possibility of leaking the bad news of the fall of Xiapi is one more point, and once the morale collapses, there is no chance to make a desperate bet. ”

Before Zhuge Jin could answer, Liu Bei next to him frowned when he heard this, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Shouldn't these specific details be solved by the people we lead the troops themselves? Ziyu is a scholar, and it is already a great favor to be able to plan a strategy for our army.

First close all the gates, isolate the internal and external news, and then isolate all the soldiers who have seen Yide. But everyone has done his best, and everyone has obeyed the destiny of heaven. ”

After speaking, Liu Bei turned to Zhuge Jin and arched his hand and said: "Mr. and I first met, and we solved the dilemma of life and death for our army.

Sir, go and rest, and leave the rest of my brothers to settle on our own. Mr. is a strategist, the follow-up life and death are uncertain, I dare not leave Mr. in this dangerous place, first send the family to break through and send away, we can also take a bold fight. ”

Zhuge Jin heard that Liu Bei was willing to send him to escape first as originally planned, but he did not object.

After all, he is a modern man, and he has never even seen a murderer.

Now that it's time for him to come up with an idea, it's only the general's job that remains, and it's useless for him to stay.

He also needs a process to slowly adapt to the brutal environment of antiquity.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate," Zhuge Jin accepted the kindness, but before leaving, he still gave a few more words of advice that had just come to mind, which was regarded as an additional gift.

"As for how to block the news, I actually have a little experience in the following, which can be used as a reference for the general. First of all, starting tomorrow, we can gradually increase the supply of military food and pay soldiers and soldiers.

For ordinary soldiers, as long as they can continue to eat their stomachs, they naturally don't think much about it. Even if bad news circulates on a small scale, it will be regarded as a rumor and will be self-defeating.

Second, tomorrow, the general can arrange manpower to take stock of the military rations and raise the amount of sand in a big way, so it will be absolutely no problem to delay it for another seven or eight days. ”

Liu Bei was already preparing to send off the guests, and Zhuge Jin's two words before leaving, he was thrilled to hear it again.

This son is so young, he can even think of so many small tricks to boost morale every day?

Regarding the suggestion of adding food to the soldiers, Liu Bei only pondered for two seconds, and his intuition told him that he should listen.

Although the military rations will be eaten faster, as long as they can be exchanged for peace of mind before the decisive battle, it will definitely be a good deal.

As for the "singing chips and measuring sand" mentioned in the second point, Liu Bei didn't understand it for a while.

After all, this is a trick used by the general Tan Daoji of Liu Song to deceive the Hu soldiers during the Northern and Southern Dynasties in later generations, and it is not an idiom now.

But who let Liu Bei read less,

He was weak for a while, and thought that Mr. was well-informed and had touched his blind spot in knowledge, so he secretly stabbed Sun Qian with his elbow.

Sun Qian has been following Liu Bei for two years, but he is also familiar with the mind of the lord, and he whispered at the moment that he doesn't know what singing chips are.

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief: it turned out that he was not alone and uneducated.

He also humbly asked for advice: "I also deeply agree with the first of the two strategies that Mr. said, but I don't know what this 'singing and measuring sand' means......

Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment, and quickly translated, saying that he would directly secretly get a pile of sand, put it in a hemp bag or bucket warehouse, cover it with a layer of white rice, and then count the inventory in public to deceive people.

In addition, since the translations have been translated, he will be a good person to the end, and by the way, he reminded Liu Bei:

"The soldiers who are responsible for the sand filling and fraud link should also be isolated from other troops in the future. It's better to use those soldiers who have seen Yide to do it, and send them away after digging. ”

After listening to it, Liu Bei pondered for a while, and finally was overjoyed, and Mr. Lian Hu was thoughtful and extraordinary.

"Even so, Mr. Lao can only stay for one more day, but fortunately, Ji Ling is now unable to besiege the city. However, Bei can swear to the heavens that as long as there is still a breath, he will be able to protect his family. ”

After Liu Bei finished swearing, he turned his head to look at Zhang Fei and commanded sharply,

"Yide! It's all your fault! But the past is over, and those people who brought you tomorrow will be sent to sing and measure the sand!

After nightfall, you personally take them all away and personally escort Mr. and his family to Haixi County first, you must not lose anything! By the way, send Zizhong too! He can also urgently raise food for our army in the rear, just in case.

Along the way, if you have any orders, you must obey them, just like me in person! Don't resist in the slightest! To do otherwise is to betray the righteousness of your brother and mine! ”

Zhuge Jin was on the side, listening that Liu Bei planned to send him away with Mi Zhu tomorrow, and he also felt that this method was quite appropriate.

After all, Mi Zhu is a huge rich, after the defeat of Liu Bei in history, he temporarily reconciled with Lu Bu and the snake, returned to Xiaopei to station, and soon "joined forces of 10,000 people", relying on the military supplies prepared by Mi Zhu.

Now let Mi Zhu prepare in advance, maybe it can alleviate the problem of military food shortage after the battle of Huaiyin.

In this way, Liu Bei's current army of more than 10,000 troops may be saved from collapse. This is much stronger than the army that Liu Bei later re-recruited in history, and veterans in the war years are all precious strategic forces.

And Zhang Fei, who has been bowing his head and having no face tonight, was immediately depressed after hearing this order:

"Big brother, how do you punish me, but the decisive battle is imminent, you and the second brother will inevitably risk the arrow and fight to the death, I have sworn to live and die together, how can this battle be backward?"

Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei entangled, and almost laughed angrily.

Fortunately, Guan Yu on the side reacted quickly and immediately reprimanded:

"Confused! Third brother, you don't want to think about it, as long as the soldiers in the city see you, they will know that Xiapi is lost! Your combat power to rush into battle is nothing compared to the loss of the army's discouragement!

The decisive battle is up to me! Don't worry! Big brother, this is to give you a chance to atone for your sins, protect your husband's family, and more or less make up for your sin of losing your sister-in-law! ”

This is only appropriate to say to Guan Yu. Because Zhang Fei couldn't participate in the decisive battle, all the pressure was on Guan Yu's side during the decisive battle.

Only Guan Yu personally took care of it, and Zhang Fei had the face to pick this pick.

Zhang Fei was scolded so that his face was blue and red and black for a while, and then he knelt down sincerely, kowtowed to Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and then hugged Guan Yu's thigh:

"Second brother! It's all up to you! We are outnumbered, so be careful. ”

Guan Yu had a cold face, stroked his beard and said proudly: "But Ji Ling and Liu Xun are only, you can rest assured that the eldest brother has my own protection." ”

Zhang Fei was ashamed, so he turned to Zhuge Jin, and swore an oath: "Sir, but if you have orders, I will definitely follow them!" ”

……

Zhuge Jin finally explained a few more words, and finally dragged his tired body and was sent back to rest.

When I got home, it was ugly, and the first day I crossed over was so tight that there was no respite for eight hours.

My stepmother and uncle also didn't sleep well all night, and they always thought about him not returning.

"This Liu Envoy Jun also summoned people, said that he would escort us out of the city early in the morning, and he would come back when he was ugly, and he wouldn't fall asleep when he rode a horse for a while."

Song saw that his son was tired and aggrieved, and he was very distressed and complained.

Zhuge Jin licked his chapped lips, drank the water that Song Xin poured for him, and wiped his mouth: "The plan has changed, you have to wait one more day before leaving, let's rest first." ”

When Song heard this, he chuckled in his heart.

Her woman didn't understand foreign affairs, and she became more and more frightened, and said in her heart, how could she be so appealing?

Zhuge Jin fell asleep, snoring like thunder for a while, until he woke up in the afternoon.
