Lu Yi nodded after hearing what Zhuge Liang said.
Although the reasons are different, Zhuge Liang, Heng Jie, and Chen Deng all have the same views in the end, which is the same as Zhang Xiu's choice in the original history.
Sure enough, the heroes saw the same thing.
Lu Yi looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "So, what do you think we should do now?"
Zhuge Liang said: "The method is actually very simple."
"Still following the previous practice, Marquis Wu gave me the power to mobilize the entire army for one day, as well as the seal of Jiangxia County."
"Now, plus the heads of the heads of the four major families."
"Originally, we were planning to send the army to Xinye tomorrow."
"In order to speed up the dispatch, please Wu Hou immediately orders the entire army outside Xiangyang City to march to Xinye immediately and assemble in Xinye."
"After arriving at Xinye, I need a day to arrange the troops."
"Then, I took the heads of the four major families and the seals of Jiangxia County to Yuyang."
"General Wenpin and Young Master's army should have arrived there by now."
Lu Yi was surprised and said, "You want to go alone?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Don't worry, Marquis Wu. If I dare to go alone, I will naturally be confident that I won't be killed."
Lu Yi glanced at the others.
No one dared to speak.
The second brother-in-law of Wu Hou dared to break into Jingbei alone. Not everyone has this courage and confidence.
Seeing the pretense, Lu Yi could only nod his head and said loudly: "Where are Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Tai Shi Ci and Heng Jie?"
Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Tai Shi Ci and Heng Jie all stood up, clasped their fists and said, "The general is here!"
Lu Yi said solemnly: "Reorganize the army immediately and march towards Xinye at nightfall!"
"After arriving at Xinye, follow Zhuge Liang's orders!"
Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Tai Shi Ci and Heng Jie all responded and quickly retreated.
Lu Yi asked Chen Deng to get the seal of Jiangxia County, then took off his sword, handed it to Zhuge Liang and said: "Everything is up to you. You go and prepare first, Gu Gu will follow."
"If Wenpin and Young Master Liu Qi dare to hurt you, no matter what the price, even if Wancheng doesn't want it, they will directly conquer Jingbei!"
"Gu Zeng told Yuan Long that Gu doesn't like to be implicated, let alone annihilate the clan."
"But if you get hurt—"
Lu Yi glanced at everyone in the hall and said: "Whoever dares to persuade Gu will not be polite. If you hurt Zhuge Liang, I will make Young Master Liu Qi and the Wenpin clan pay the price!"
Zhuge Liang took the seal and sword from the governor of Jiangxia County, responded, and retreated.
Lu Yi watched Zhuge Liang leave, and then said to Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, during this period, you will be responsible for the pastoral care of Jingzhou, sit in Xiangyang, rectify Jingzhou, and appease the people."
Chen Deng said loudly: "Here!"
Lu Yi looked at Xu Shu and Gao Shun and said, "You and Gu will march to the new wilderness with the army today."
Xu Shu and Gao Shun both clasped their fists.
Lu Yi then looked at the other civil and military officials and said: "Those who have not heard the transfer order will stay in Xiangyang and wait for Chen Deng's transfer. We will make transfers when Jingbei and Wancheng are captured and Gu returns."
All the civil and military officials responded in unison.
Lu Yi then left, returned to his bedroom, packed his clothes casually, met Xu Shu and Gao Shun, surrounded by Nangong Yan and Shi Huan, and then rushed to the military camp outside Xiangyang City.
Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Tai Shi Ci and Heng Jie were already ordering troops and generals.
Lu Yi did a simple general mobilization.
Firstly, it is for military merit.
The second thing is to mention the immortal monument.
When he came to Jingzhou, an immortal monument was already being built at Oua Port.
According to the previous agreement, after taking Jingzhou, the lives of all the soldiers who died in the battle will be engraved on the immortal monument for future generations to admire.
When it got dark, the four armies marched towards Xinye.
It’s been three days since we arrived in Xinye.
Huang Chengyan's intelligence network once again received news: Cao Cao has arrived at Wancheng and the fight has begun!
However, Wancheng had experienced an siege and did not choose to surrender immediately!
The army rested that night.
Early the next morning, Lu Yi personally sat in the army, while Zhuge Liang called Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Tai Shi Ci and Heng Jie to explain the army formation in detail.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang asked Lu Yi, as the Marquis of Wu, to send an envoy to Yuyang to deliver the message.
Sure enough, Jingbei general Wenpin and his son Liu Qi led the army to Yuyang, originally preparing to attack Xiangyang.
However, after hearing that Xiangyang was captured by Jiangdong, their army stopped in Yuyang and prepared to face Jiangdong's army.
For the next whole day, the four armies, under the command of Zhuge Liang, began to arrange their troops.
It wasn't until night that the four armies completely set up their grand formation.
According to Zhuge Liang himself, this formation was created by him under the guidance of Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong and Mr. Shui Jing Sima Hui, and was adapted from the Bagua formation.
Pang Degong named this modified Bagua array "Nine Palaces Bagua Array".
The nearly 70,000 Jiangdong and Changsha coalition forces were able to put down this "Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation".
At a glance, the formation formed by the 70,000-strong army was extremely complex, with the aura of swallowing up mountains and rivers.
After a day of training, Zhuge Liang was also very excited.
Although this "Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation" has been established for a long time.
However, this is the first time he has filled it with real soldiers.
Another night's rest.
The next day, before dawn, the army set off from Xinye and headed for Yuyang.
At noon, the army rushed outside Yuyang City.
The gates of Yuyang City have long been closed.
On the city wall, there were banners and soldiers coming and going.
Jingbei general Wenpin and his son Liu Qi personally sat on the city wall.
As soon as Jiangdong's army arrived, they set up the "Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation" at Zhuge Liang's signal.
An army of 70,000 people formed a formation outside Yuyangcheng.
At a glance, the entire city is covered with mountains and plains, but it is cut into countless parts.
Among them, the soldiers constantly change positions.
It seemed like several huge beasts were walking back and forth.
Under the protection of Nangong Yan, Shi Huan, Gao Shun and the trapped camp, Lu Yi took command of the central army.
Wenpin and his son Liu Qi stood on the city wall, overlooking the scene outside the city, and felt their scalps numb.
This Jiangdong is as powerful as a rainbow and has a commander who is proficient in formations.
It seems that it is very difficult to defend Yuyang today.
The Jingbei soldiers on the city wall also felt numb when they saw this scene.
Zhuge Liang looked at the Jingbei soldiers on the city wall, a look of pride appeared on his face, and he waved the flag himself.
Suddenly, the 70,000 Jiangdong army, which had been arranged into the Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation, surged into action.
A deafening roar.
Countless clashes of armor.
The formations are constantly changing, and the wild beasts are baring their teeth and claws.
The Jingbei army on the city wall were all suppressed by this momentum and were breathless.
Half an hour later, the Nine Palaces Bagua Array stopped changing its formations.
Taishi Ci rode his horse forward from the army and came to the edge of the moat. He clasped his fists at the young masters Liu Qi and Wenpin on the city wall, pointed at the distance of fifty steps to the left and right of the city gate, and said loudly: "Marquis Wu asked me to remind Jing The soldiers in the north, the Thunderbolt Chariot is about to launch an attack on this area, the soldiers in Jingbei in this area should retreat quickly to avoid being hurt."
Young Master Liu Qi hurriedly looked at Wenpin.
Wenpin squinted his eyes and hesitated a little.
But outside the city, among the Jiangbei army, thirty Pili chariots were slowly approaching, driven by soldiers.
Wenpin has received information: the reason why Xiangyang was attacked.
Among them, there is a kind of thunder chariot mentioned. When attacking a city, the sky will collapse and the earth will shatter, destroying all the strongholds.
At this moment, seeing the thunderous chariot approaching, Wenpin made a decision and signaled the soldiers within fifty steps on the left and right sides of the city gate to leave.
As Zhuge Liang waved the flag, the soldiers carried huge stones and placed them on the wooden frame of the thunderbolt chariot.
When Zhuge Liang waved the flag again, there was a clicking sound, and thirty Pili chariots scooped up the wooden poles in unison.
Thirty boulders crossed the sky and fell on the wall above the city gate, inside the city.
The entire Yuyang City is trembling!
On the city wall, the Jingbei soldiers watched the huge boulder hit the city wall, splashing rubble all over the sky. Their faces were pale and their legs and feet were weak.
What if these boulders fell between them——
Being broken into pieces is a trivial matter!
I'm afraid it will turn into pureed meat!
Thirty Thunderbolts launched five rounds of attacks before stopping.
Zhuge Liang came over single-handedly, riding a horse and carrying several bags.
Stopping at the edge of the moat, Zhuge Liang raised his head and said to Young Master Liu Qi: "Young Master, please open the city gate. I want to talk to you and General Wenpin. In the meantime, the Jiangdong army will never attack the city!"
Young Master Liu Qi hurriedly looked at Wenpin.
He has completely lost confidence!
The momentum of this powerful formation.
The powerful destructive power unleashed by thirty Thunderbolt vehicles.
He no longer felt any resistance.
Wenpin glanced at Young Master Liu Qi and saw a look of deep fear in his eyes.
Wenpin sighed secretly.
There was not much hope in retaking Jingzhou.
Now the eldest son is so cowardly——
It seems that we can only negotiate conditions.
Thinking of this, Wenpin said: "Open the city gate and let the envoy in!"
Suddenly, voices echoed in Yuyang City: "The general has ordered, open the city gate, lower the drawbridge, and welcome the envoy into the city!"
The city gate suddenly opened with a burst of pressure.
The suspension bridge was also slowly lowered.
Zhuge Liang rode his horse alone and walked into the city calmly.
