Chapter 254: Digging a Pit
When Yuan Qi said that Ottawa was going to kill Manila, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu both showed a knowing smile. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although they are wise, they are by no means to the point of foresight, and the news sent by the members of the hidden dragon to Yuan Qi makes the two of them excited.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Lord, if this is the case, it will be easy to break the barbarians." Manila served as the Left Guard for many years, and under its governance, its tribe had a surge in population and rising combat effectiveness, which shows that Manila is not a mediocre person, and must have guessed Ottawa's intentions, and there is still dissatisfaction in his heart, but because of the general righteousness, he cannot shirk it. Why don't our army simply lose a few games to Manila, and then withdraw from the desert. ”
Xu Shu said: "The so-called rapid attack is combined strength, and slow attack is phased, and its momentum is also." If our army is defeated by one of them and withdraws from the desert, and these two people will inevitably conspire with each other, then our army will spare Mingzhou and turn into the center of the desert. ”
Yuan Qi silently deduced Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu's plan in his heart, thinking that it was very feasible, even if he failed to achieve the expected goal in the end, Yuan Qi's army had no loss, at most it was just to take some more unjust roads. He immediately agreed to the plan of the two and ordered the two to rush to work out a specific battle plan overnight.
The next day, when Yuan Qi was promoted to the tent, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu stood in the big tent with two big black circles under their eyes. Last night. The two of them hardly rested, and worked out a battle plan to deceive and lure the enemy overnight, and after a little rest, they gave it to Yuan Qi, who immediately ordered the account to be raised after seeing the specific strategy.
After all the generals came to the big tent, Yuan Qi unexpectedly handed over the command to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, the battle plan was formulated by you and Yuan Zhi. Your hearts know best. It's up to you to deploy your troops this time. When Yuan Qi saw Zhuge Liang, who was a little sluggish, his heart suddenly moved, and he had this idea temporarily.
Taking two steps forward, Zhuge Liang said loudly: "Thank you Lord for cultivating." Liang is disrespectful. Turning around, Zhuge Liang began his first order in a wise tone: "The generals listen to the order: General Ma Yue, you lead an army of 10,000, camp fifty miles away from the village, and intercept the Manila headquarters of the Xinman vanguard army.
Ma Yue originally stepped forward excitedly to listen to the order, thinking that there was a tough battle to fight, but who would have expected that the order Zhuge Liang gave him would be to lose five battles in a row in three days! If Zhuge Liang hadn't proven his talent, I'm afraid Ma Yue would have opened his mouth to scold earlier, and at this moment, Ma Yue could only be dumbfounded in place with a puzzled face.
After Zhuge Liang gave the first order, Yuan Qi nodded secretly. Fraud, of course, the more like the better, in this time with the army of the generals, most of them are calm temperament people, only the more Ma is the temper of the vanguard, the more ruthless the character who fights the battle, the most unbearable pain of defeat, even if he knows that it is a fraud, he will be yelled at angrily, thus leaving a preconceived impression on Manila, thinking that Ma Yue is really defeated. On the other hand, Ma Yue's vanguard temper, Yuan Qi is also quite a headache, Ma Yue is brave and fierce, and is a rare enemy on the battlefield, his characteristic is the soul of the returning army, and it is the basic premise of being invincible, but at the same time, this is also a major obstacle to restricting Ma Yue to move forward to a famous general, Ma Yue can be a general, but he can't be a handsome, that is, he is limited by his temper. Zhuge Liang also had the intention to hone Ma Yue, so that he could gradually smooth out the edges and corners and become more calm.
Ignoring Ma Yue's somewhat sluggish look, Zhuge Liang continued to give the second order: "Qi Tian, I bother you to lead the three thousand Flying Dragon Army, pretend to be General Ma Yue's reinforcements, and after he has lost five battles in a row, take him back to the camp." "To Qi Tian, Zhuge Liang's tone is much more polite, after all, Qi Tian is Yuan Qi's eldest brother, and Qi Tian is the only person under Yuan Qi who has been officially crowned by the imperial court, and his status is very transcendent.
Qi Tian strode forward, arched his hand and said, "Command!" Zhuge Liang gave orders instead of Yuan Qi, although Zhuge Liang's official position was not as high as Qi Tian, but Qi Tian still gave his hand to show respect. At the same time, Qi Tian secretly touched Ma Yue with his elbow, causing Ma Yue to wake up in a stupor. Qi Tian reminded Ma Yue in a low voice: "Third brother, take the order." ”
These days, Yuan Qi has been running around, fighting in the south and the north, plus the second big wedding, so there is not much leisure time, and he is rarely able to meet with Qi Tian and Ma Yue alone in private occasions, but during this time, Ma Yue often goes to Qi Tian, while competing for drinking power, he also asks Qi Tian for some martial arts skills, so the friendship between Qi Tian and Ma Yue is more profound, and Ma Yue also admires his eldest brother Qi Tian more and more, and Qi Tian's respect is second only to Yuan Qi.
After hearing Qi Tian's reminder, Ma Yue suddenly came back to his senses, although his heart was not smooth, he had to give up his hand and say: "Ma Yue...... Commanded. ”
Nodding with satisfaction, Zhuge Liang issued a third order: "General Zuo Ci listened to the order, and you led 5,000 troops to ambush between Dazhai and General Ma Yue's military camp, and saw Qi Tian responding to General Ma Yue's return to Dazhai, and immediately stabbed out of the stab, Qi Tian and General Ma Yue can return to the army to cover up the killing at this moment, and within half an hour, you can let go and kill, but remember, as soon as half an hour arrives, immediately lead the army back to Dazhai." ”
Zuo Ci replied loudly: "No!"
Zhuge Liang turned his gaze to Zhang Chong and Xu Block, and calmly said the last order: "Zhang Chong and Xu Block, the two generals, listen to the order, and the two of you will straighten out the army and horses, pack up the weapons, grain and grass, and prepare for the strategic retreat of our army. ”
Zhang Chong and Xu Fang, as famous generals in the world, have roughly guessed Zhuge Liang's intentions through Zhuge Liang's continuous orders, which is a plan to show the enemy to be weak, but also to ensure the deterrence of the enemy, so that the enemy is not only satisfied with some small victories in front of him, but also full of fear of the enemy's strong combat effectiveness in his heart. Presumably, Zhuge Liang still has a trick, but that's not what they can think of. Immediately, the two of them stood side by side and replied at the same time: "No!"
In fact, Zhang Chong and Xu Ban only guessed half right, and after the arrogant plan, Zhuge Liang also had a counter-plan. Manila must have been dissatisfied with the Ottawa Communiqué's personal vendetta, so when he led his 70,000-strong army to resist the enemy, he would not be too resolute, after all, he would not be stupid enough to make a wedding dress for Ottawa.
Let Ma Yue defeat the five formations first, so that Manila will despise the enemy army from his heart, and at the same time, it can also stimulate his ambition, thinking that he can defeat even the little overlord, let alone Ottawa. As the battle deepened, Qi Tian and Zuo Ci successively put into the battlefield, killing Manila by surprise, while killing and injuring his subordinates, Manila will hate Ottawa even more for sending him to the front line as cannon fodder, coupled with the arrogant mentality brought about by Ma Yue's five consecutive defeats, Manila is afraid that after learning that the Yuan Qi army has withdrawn from the desert, he is afraid that he will soon find Ottawa and be unhappy with Ottawa. At this time, when the enemy withdrew, the news of the wealth and silk left behind must have reached the ears of Ottawa, which reflected that the Yuan Qi army must have undergone a very major change, so it was hurriedly withdrawn, and it was too late to take away the wealth, and at the same time, these treasures would strengthen the strength of Manila, and Ottawa, who was worried about the increase in Manila's strength, would inevitably deal with Manila, the brother of his compatriots, wholeheartedly.
This is the strategy set by Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, combining the strategy of arrogance, attacking the heart and counter-strategy, digging the pit, and waiting for Ottawa and Manila to jump in.
