"My dear friends, why are you silent?"
Seeing that no one said a word, Sun Quan felt unhappy.
this.
How to say it?
Gu Yong stepped forward bravely and said to Sun Quan: "My lord, I have memorized the previous chapters several times. I have fought with Mr. Liu several times. The possibility of this alliance is almost zero."
Sun Quan thought for a moment, but he could only accept this situation helplessly.
"Forget it, that kid is far away in Runan County, and an alliance with him probably won't be possible. Even if it is possible, given the insidiousness of that kid, in the end, whether I, Jiangdong, will benefit, or his Liu Gongsi will benefit, that's all unknown. of."
Sun Quan had complicated feelings about his son-in-law.
certainly
Among these complex emotions, resentment and jealousy account for a large proportion.
"Even if we can't form an alliance with Liu Chan, if we form an alliance with Wei, is there a chance?"
Lu Meng thought for a moment and then stepped forward and said: "My lord, there is no point in forming an alliance with the Wei State. Now even if the Wei State is willing to form an alliance with us, it is just a delaying tactic. Hefei is occupied by us. They always want to Those who attack back will have only weapons to compete with Wei!"
After that, Lu Meng added a sentence quietly behind.
"Does the master really want to send the eldest girl there?"
What is the difference between sending a daughter away and getting married in the early Han Dynasty?
humiliation!
Sun Quan immediately threw away this idea.
"Since the alliance cannot be formed, do we have no choice but to withdraw our troops?"
The current situation is really great for Jiangdong.
It is a pity that this situation cannot be grasped.
“There’s not enough food and grass, what can we do?”
Objective factors sometimes play a decisive role, and subjective ideas cannot be changed.
At this moment, Zhuge Jin took a step forward and said, "Master, we can't plan Shouchun, but we can plan another place."
Another place?
Sun Quan's eyes flickered.
"What Ziyu means is to sneak attack Jiangxia and capture the lost counties of Jingzhou in Jiangdong?"
But as soon as he said this, this so-called 'strategy' was immediately rejected by Sun Quan.
Jiangxia County is now guarded by tens of thousands of troops. Although Yu Jin surrendered to Liu Chan, his reputation and ability are still there, not to mention that besides Yu Jin, there is also a civil servant.
These two are both masters of water warfare in defending the city. If they want to capture Jiangxia County, it will not be much easier than it is for him to capture Shouchun now.
In the attack on Jiangxia, the food road has indeed become shorter, but if it cannot be captured in a short time, the final outcome will still be insufficient food and grass. There is no difference in this.
"My lord has misunderstood what I mean."
The corners of Zhuge Jin's mouth twitched. Unexpectedly, his lord's first thought was Jiangxia County.
This Jiangxia County must not be attacked!
Just last time, they formed an alliance with Liu Gongsi to attack the Wei army. Now they turn around and attack Jiangxia?
I don’t want this face anymore.
Even if you don't want to lose face, Jiangxia County can't be defeated. Isn't this ridiculous?
"What does Tzuyu mean?"
Jiangxia County can't fight, and there is no food support to fight Shouchun, so what can we fight?
Is it possible to continue to fight Sanyue?
But the hair of the people of Shanyue was all shaved off by him.
Attacking in vain only consumes military strength.
"Guangling County."
"Guangling County?"
Sun Quan was stunned.
"This Guangling County is the land of Xuzhou. If we go to attack Guangling County, we are not going against Zang Ba. Isn't that a betrayal of the alliance? Besides, there is no excuse to attack Guangling County at this time?"
Zhuge Jin shook his head, with a meaningful smile on his face.
"My lord, what you said is wrong. Although Guangling County is the land of Xuzhou, it is not owned by Zang Ba. When Zang Ba borrowed troops from Jiangxia County, he exchanged it for Guangling County. This place belongs to the Hanzhong Crown Prince Liu He’s a public heir.”
"oh?"
Sun Quan's eyes lit up when he heard that there was an opportunity.
Guangling County leads eleven counties: Guangling County, Jiangdu County, Ping'an County, Gaoyou County, Ling County, Haixi County, Dongyang County, Sheyang County, Yandu County, Yu County, and Tangyi County.
The place is not small.
The key is that it is under the Huai River. If it is captured, we can rely on Hefei to build a defense line in the Jianghuai area to prevent the Wei army from going south.
If Shouchun can be defeated, this line of defense will be completely established, and we can even go north to compete for the world!
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, they relied on the Jianghuai River to maintain their foundation.
Even the Hengwen Northern Expedition also started from the Jianghuai region.
This is really the foundation of Wang Ba!
Thinking of the key, Sun Quan became excited.
"When I left Xuzhou, I heard that Yi Li had been ordered by the Crown Prince of Hanzhong to guard Guangling County. Zang Ba was very unhappy, but he was still afraid of the Crown Prince of Hanzhong and did not dare to stop him. He let him return to Guangling. My lord went to attack now. , Zang Ba will definitely not help, and may even hit him in the back."
Zang Ba was troubled by his fame.
I have to bear this humiliation.
But I, Sun Quan, regard that reputation as nothing, how can I be trapped by it?
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Sun Quan stood up completely.
He was not sure about attacking the heavily guarded Jiangxia County and Shouchun, but he didn't have the ability to attack the enclave Guangling County?
"However, since ancient times, it has been important for each master to have a reputation. We still need to borrow a name to attack in order to appear righteous."
Sun Quan can be shameless, but Zhuge Jin still wants to be shameless.
As soon as he said this, all the officials in the tent reacted.
"That's right, we need to be a famous teacher!"
"We are teachers of benevolence and righteousness, and we must be famous!"
"Please give me some advice, my lord!"
No one can bear to be called Jiangdong rat by someone from the north, unless that person is a jerk.
When it's time to get your reputation, you still have to get it.
A famous teacher?
Sun Quan initially disagreed, but when he saw that all the generals and ministers in the tent were doing the same thing, he turned to Zhuge Jin and asked, "Tzuyu, what do you think of this reason?"
Zhuge Jin cupped his hands and said angrily: "The Crown Prince of Hanzhong is the son-in-law of the lord. The son-in-law has been wronged, should he help?"
Son-in-law is wronged?
If I am wronged, that kid will not be wronged!
Sun Quan just wanted to refute, but as if he thought of something, he was stunned.
"Tzuyu means to use Liu Chan's name to act?"
"good."
Zhuge Jin nodded solemnly and said: "Zang Ba originally wanted to give Guangling County to the crown prince of Hanzhong, but now he doesn't give it away. Naturally, the lord took it back for his son-in-law. This is simply human nature. It is upright and fair. Who in the world can do it?" Dare you say no?"
"Yes, yes!"
Sun Quan immediately applauded.
At this time, it no longer matters whether the garrison in Guangling County belongs to the crown prince of Hanzhong.
If Sun Quan says no, then it’s not.
Can you still bite me?
"In this case, we must quickly formulate a plan to swallow up Guangling County while the Wei army has no time to go south."
The meat in your mouth is the real thing.
Sun Quan no longer wanted to take a look at those things that he could see but couldn't touch.
"If this happens, Ziyu, you should take the lead!"
"It's all thanks to my lord's wisdom."
In the Jiangdong camp, there was a harmonious appearance between the king and his ministers.
Fight and you will win, win and you will gain.
The Jiangdong family all benefited, and naturally they all followed Sun Quan's lead.
But once they lose the battle, their faces will naturally be different again.
Relying on the power of aristocratic families is ultimately the last resort.
The other side.
Runan County.
Praise outside the city.
Zhuge Liang led the army and camped ten miles outside Baoxin City. A busy and orderly scene was displayed in front of the Wei army on Baoxin City.
There are many tents in the camp, like a temporary city, densely covered on a large flat land, which is quite spectacular.
In the early morning sunshine, a piece of smoke curled up and spread all over the sky.
Thousands of soldiers were busy in every corner, cooking food and washing weapons.
The military flags fluttered in the breeze. Liu, Zhuge, Zhang, Guan, etc., represented the affiliation of each army.
In the center of the camp is Zhuge Liang's big tent, which stands majestically. The jade patterns on the tent look majestic and solemn.
Zhuge Liang was sitting in the big tent, his eyes were deep and he held a feather fan in his hand, looking up like a mountain.
That confident look seemed to invite you to enter the urn.
In the camp, the soldiers divided the work and cooperated. Some were building temporary fortifications, building earthen walls and wooden fences, and strengthening the defense lines; some were repairing weapons, and their swords, guns, swords and halberds shone coldly in the sun; and some were in the cooking camp. Busy, the huge pot stove emits bursts of aroma.
The horses lowed in the stables. They were companions on the battlefield and were being cared for. The army doctor is also waiting at the side.
"What the hell is Zhuge Liang doing?"
In Baoxin City, Sima Yi, who looked a little tired, stood on the top of the city, his expression was very gloomy, and on top of the gloomy expression, there was also a bit of confusion.
"Looking at the number of camps and stoves, there are at least 30,000 people in this camp. This is the main force of Liu Chan's army."
Sima Yi nodded. This can also be reflected in the number of camps and the number of tooth flags.
His army was practicing this morning. The dense military formation looked like there were at least 30,000 people!
hehe.
At this time, Sima Yi sneered.
Liu Gongsi, don't you think I don't know that you, a kid, will come to attack me?
The fact that Ancheng was stolen was indeed beyond his expectation, but now how can you get involved in this compliment?
After stabilizing the situation in Shenyang and knowing that Ancheng could not be captured in a short period of time, Sima Yi immediately rushed back to pay tribute.
Entering the target is the main force of the Han army in swarms.
Now there are ten thousand defenders in Baoxin City, and Baoxin ordered Lan Zhan's back-up men to be removed one by one. Now, what other tricks do you have that can capture Baoxin?
"There are a large number of Han troops outside the city. Do you want General Lu to lead his troops to support them?"
Baoxin County Lieutenant Zhao Yue is now sending the order for Baoxin. Looking at the scene outside the city, he looks a little panicked.
If this commendation letter was captured by the Han army, his so-called commendation letter would be gone.
"The purpose of the Crown Prince of Hanzhong is definitely not praise, but Shen Yang. If he can't defeat Shen Yang, the enemies of Ancheng will be defeated if they surround him for several months. We just need to stabilize the situation."
He looked at Zhao Yue with burning eyes and said: "The Han army occupied Ancheng and cut off the Nanru water and food road. Now the army is short of food. In Baoxin County, you have to raise food and grass for me."
Looking at Sima Yi's sinister eyes, although Zhao Yue wanted to refuse in his heart, he did not dare to say the words of refusal.
This guy can also kill people.
What does his mere letter of commendation count for?
"My subordinates will do their best."
Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Just trying your best is not enough."
Sima Yi is tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a straight back, exuding a sense of solemnity and majesty. His face is serious and steady, with distinct features, especially those deep eyes, which seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts and reveal an elusive sense of mystery.
And this kind of pressure made Zhao Yue feel a little afraid unconsciously in his heart.
"If we can't raise food and grass, your letter of praise won't last long."
"My subordinates must do their best to raise food and grass!"
For the official title on his head, he can only suffer from the common people.
Praise outside the city.
As night fell, the Han army's well-built camp was lit up with lights, illuminating a corner of the dark night.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Zhuge Liang looked very relaxed, but Pang De, who was standing below, looked anxious.
"The military advisor is not worried?"
"What am I worried about?"
"There are very few troops in the camp now. What should we do if the Wei army comes to attack the camp?"
A look of anxiety appeared on Pang De's face.
"In case the barbarian general fails to succeed."
"No need to bother."
Zhuge Liang is dressed in a green robe. He is thin but tall and has a profound bearing. He has a delicate face, delicate facial features, and a hint of mystery and thoughtfulness between his brows. Those eyes were bright and deep, as if they could see through people's hearts, revealing intelligence and wisdom.
"Today we have exposed the military formation, with tens of thousands of people in the camp, with lights shining and soldiers patrolling, they will not dare to attack. Those fools will have to wait at least a few days before the Wei army in the city will know about it. Besides, they know it. I'm waiting in vain, so what?"
Zhuge Liang's black hair is like clouds, neatly combed and fluttering in the wind. His slight beard covers his chin, adding a somewhat mature atmosphere to him.
At this moment, he showed that he was confident.
The formation created today is naturally fake.
Most of the so-called military formations are made up of dummies.
There were too many stoves on purpose, so that the Wei army in the city thought that the main force of the Han army was in the camp.
Everything is planned for tonight.
He already had countermeasures for Wei Jun's different actions.
He, Zhuge Liang, has always prepared hundreds of millions of extra hands.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, outside Baoxin City shrouded in night, there was a hint of conspiracy hidden under the peaceful appearance of the Wei army camp.
Sudden.
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
A scream broke the silence, and a turbulent black shadow quickly passed by, bringing the breath of death.
"Fuck you, take the Wei camp. Whoever can break the camp and kill the generals will be admitted to the martial arts hall!"
E Huan led the elite Han army like tigers out of the mountains. They shuttled through the night, agile and fast, like ghosts in the dark night.
The flashing mace shone with a terrifying cold light in the moonlight. With screams and violent shouts, the soldiers guarding the Wei army fell one after another, and the ground was dyed red with blood.
The Han army rushed into the camp fiercely, with swords and guns dancing, and a bloody storm.
"The Han army has attacked the camp, attacked the camp."
"Run away!"
"Array, array!"
The Wei army camp was in chaos, with wailing, fighting, and shouting intertwined together.
The torch lit up in the dark night, lighting up the entire battlefield. The firelight reflected armor, weapons, and sweat, making the whole scene even more eerie and terrifying.
The Han army led by E Huan was like wolves and tigers. They used the cover of night to pour into the camp from all directions, catching the Wei army by surprise.
Isn't the main force of the Wei army outside Baoxin City?
If there were soldiers coming out of that camp, they would know about it immediately.
what happened?
Where did this elite Han army come from?
The battle spread in an instant, and blood pooled into streams on the ground, flowing continuously.
Flames spread through the camp, and the wind filled with smoke and the smell of burning.
The place where the grain and grass were piled up was engulfed in flames, and black smoke rose, like the roar of war, making the night sky a fiery red.
Although the soldiers of the Wei army guarding the camp resisted vigorously, their strength was insignificant in the face of the fierce offensive of the Han army.
Many Wei soldiers turned into corpses in their sleep.
Even if it survives, it will be difficult to organize an effective defense.
massacre!
A one-sided massacre.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the battlefield was littered with corpses and a mess.
Wails, shouts, and screams intertwined together, like a purgatory on earth.
The sound of burning flames, the sound of weapons clashing, and the sound of galloping horses echoed in every corner of the battlefield.
In the Han army camp outside Baoxin City, Zhuge Liang looked at the fire in the sky with a proud smile on his face.
The Wei army was already short of food, and this time they burned part of the food and grass.
hehe.
Sima Yi, how are you doing next?
But in Baoxin City, Sima Yi looked at the sky-high flames on the Wei army camp outside the city, but his face was ashen.
Angry, confused, enlightened.
"Liu Chan! Zhuge Liang!"
Sima Yi gritted his teeth and immediately ordered:
"The Han army camp outside the city played tricks on them, broke through the Han army camp outside the city, and captured Zhuge Kongming alive!"
ps:
There will be an additional update tomorrow for a monthly pass of 250, at 12 noon or 5 pm.
