All combat plans are ready, and it is only a matter of time to defeat Liu Zhang's army.
But Zhuge Liang still has a problem. Defeating Liu Zhang requires the cooperation of Xu Shu from Jiangbei.
Since the Yangtze River was dominated by the Yu Fushui Army, the waters from Yiling to Yidao seemed not that safe.
All Zhuge Liang's strategies must ensure the absolute confidentiality of the information.
Therefore, wanting to deliver news to Xu Shu stationed in Huya Mountain in the north of the Yangtze River has become the biggest problem at the moment.
First, we need to cross the mountains and ridges to leave Liu Bei's current station, then go straight to Xiaoling along the Guishui River, and then go all the way north across the Yangtze River.
In this way, you can go directly to Nanjun City, and it is hundreds of miles away from Yidao, which is enough to ensure safety.
But there is a problem with doing this. Time is very tight and there can be no delay.
According to Zhuge Liang's estimate, it would take three days to arrive quickly.
If something goes wrong, it might take four days!
Five days later it was time to launch a general offensive, which meant that there was no time to send the news back to Liu Bei's camp.
Xu Shu is currently the commander-in-chief of the army in Jiangbei. Zhuge Liang must make sure that the person who delivers the order can make Xu Shu act according to the order.
In order to maintain confidentiality, it is ordered to be told to only one person.
The more people know, the easier it is for something to happen.
After Zhuge Liang thought about it, he finally decided to let Xu Shu's Fu Kuang take on this important task.
Liu Bei expressed support for Zhuge Liang's decision.
During this period of time, the ability and loyalty shown by Fu Kuang are enough to receive greater reuse.
In addition, Fu Kuang's Fu family was from Nanjun, and the family was all under Liu Bei's rule.
With family as a tie, there is no need to doubt loyalty.
For Fu Kuang himself, he was even more overjoyed after learning about this incident.
He has long wanted to stand out under Liu Bei, and such a difficult task is undoubtedly an opportunity.
Fu Kuang faced Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang repeatedly promised that even if he traveled day and night, he would never be delayed even a moment.
Even if he is exhausted, he will die of exhaustion in Xu Shu's handsome tent in Huya Mountain.
Zhuge Liang immediately told Fu Kuang all the plan and the action plan of the Jiangbei army.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Fu Kuang could not help but tremble in surprise.
How ingenious can one be to devise such an interlocking and flawless plan to defeat the enemy?
None of this mattered anymore. For Fu Kuang, he had to ensure that he would arrive at Huya Mountain on the night of the third day at most.
The Jiangbei Army's operation was not complicated, but when it came to collecting ships, two days was not considered rich at all.
In this way, after Fu Kuang wrote down all the military orders, he took two trusted soldiers and left the camp without delaying for a moment.
All the way over mountains and ridges, traveling day and night, we finally overfulfilled the task.
Fu Kuang arrived at Huya Mountain in the afternoon of the third day.
Xu Shu was sitting in the commander's tent, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of him, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.
He recognized Fu Kuang, but he didn't expect that Fu Kuang would become like this.
That vicissitudes of life, the embarrassed appearance, as if being chased by thousands of troops.
His pale complexion, chapped lips, and dusty face made people wonder what he had gone through.
Xu Shu even suspected that Wuxi Man had conquered Linyuan and Fu Kuang had been chased all the way back!
"Wonbi, what are you..."
How could Fu Kuang know what he looked like? He had not slept for three days in order to rush on the road.
"Commander Xu, my lord's secret order!"
Xu Shu immediately stood up and shouted at everyone inside and outside the tent.
After ensuring that no one could hear the conversation in the commander's tent, Xu Shu walked to Fu Kuang.
"Yuan Bi, where is my lord?"
After hearing Xu Shu's question, Fu Kuang was pleasantly surprised.
Even our own commander Xu Shu doesn't know where Liu Bei is. It seems that this news will never be known to anyone!
"Commander Xu, my lord, Commander Zhuge and General Guan are leading the army to ambush in the mountains south of Liu Zhang's camp."
"Zhuge Military Advisor has already devised a plan to defeat the enemy, and specially asked the general to come here to convey the order!"
After Xu Shu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up with joy.
There has been no news about Liu Bei's army for so long. Unexpectedly, they all lurked near the battlefield.
"Say it!"
Fu Kuang immediately told Xu Shu all the tasks assigned by Zhuge Liang, word for word.
Time, place, what to do, how to march the troops, all have strict plans.
There was very little room for Xu Shu to act freely, but as long as he followed the orders, the result would be a great victory.
"Commander Xu, Commander Zhuge said that we must act according to the plan and there must be no omissions!"
Fu Kuang deeply remembered Zhuge Liang's stern warning before leaving. After finishing the story, he immediately reminded Xu Shu again.
"Hmm...let me think about it."
Xu Shu is a wise man, he will not mechanically execute military orders like ordinary commanders.
All strategies must be reviewed in the mind to see if there are any omissions.
Even if it is too late to prevent the plan from being carried out, he can find out the omissions and make up for the shortcomings.
After much thought, Xu Shu couldn't find any flaw in Zhuge Liang's fire attack plan.
The reason is also very simple. Zhuge Liang speculated on Liu Zhang's movement of troops, but Xu Shu watched helplessly.
According to Xu Shu's estimation, if there were not 100,000 troops in the camp, there would be at least 70,000 to 80,000 troops.
Including the troops and horses besieging Yiling, the absolute total number exceeds 100,000!
"Yuan Bi, Kong Ming's plan is perfect, I will definitely act according to the plan!"
"You go and have a rest first, and I'll find a way to allocate the ships."
"This time the fire will definitely spread on the banks of the Xiaoting River!"
With quick eyes and quick hands, Fu Kuang grabbed Xu Shu who was about to leave.
"Military advisor, there is no need to worry about the ships."
Xu Shu frowned, his face a little unhappy.
"Yuan Bi, how can we not be in a hurry? Where can we find a ship in such a hurry?"
In such a hurry, and in this barren mountain, even Xu Shu found it difficult to maneuver the boat.
"Don't worry, military advisor. When passing by Jiangling, the last general went into the city specifically to find Ma Liang."
"Ma Liang has promised the general that the ship will definitely arrive here tomorrow at the latest!"
Fu Kuang had already solved this problem for Xu Shu.
If it hadn't taken some time to go to Jiangling to find Ma Liang, Fu Kuang would have arrived in Huya much faster.
Xu Shu was overjoyed when he heard this, and Fu Kuang solved his biggest problem.
"Yuan Bi, for defeating Liu Zhang this time, I must ask my lord for credit!"
"Thank you, strategist!"
Fu Kuang expressed his gratitude again and again. He had foreseen that the Fu family would flourish.
First, he went to Yuzhang to send a message, then he organized forces to defend Linyuan, and now he traveled over the mountains and ridges to Jiangbei.
Not only was he appreciated by his lord Liu Bei and military advisor Zhuge Liang, but he was also appreciated by military advisor Xu Shu!
Fu Kuang had a premonition that after this victory, he would soar into the sky!
"Yuan Bi, you go and rest for a while. I will send someone to Yi Dao to inform Deng Fang and let him prepare to go out of the city to fight!"
This war is of great importance, and all Liu Bei's troops on both sides of the Yangtze River have naturally been mobilized.
Even if it doesn't require too much preparation, Xu Shu must notify the military commanders as soon as possible.
Fu Kuang thought for a moment and asked Xu Shu for help again.
"Military advisor, don't bother me. I just want to go to Yi Dao for a walk!"
