"What a good move to lure the enemy deep, but a good move to draw out the enemy!"
This round... I admit defeat! "
In the bamboo forest outside Jinzhu, Zheng Du looked at the sudden change in the chess game, and finally threw the chess piece he had just picked up on it.
At the same time, the look in Zhuge Liang's eyes also changed a bit.
"Brother Zheng, why do you look so bright?"
"Du... I'm looking at a genius in the world!"
"...Haha, Brother Zheng is overly praised."
"Excessive praise? This is not excessive praise, this is admiration!" Zheng Du sighed for the last time and walked directly to the map on the side. Looking at the map of Jingzhou, Zheng Du shook his head repeatedly.
"It's ridiculous that Cao Pi underestimated the strength of the Han Dynasty after all, and someone like you can actually appear at this time!
Zhuge Kongming, how did you calculate it? "
"Brother Zheng, have you seen Liang's tricks?"
"This chess piece has been abandoned. Zheng is not a fool. How could he not see it?" Zheng Du was so angry at these words that he directly rolled up his sleeves and then reached out and clicked on the map.
"According to the battle report, Jiangling is destined to be unable to defend, but Jingzhou has been a series of battles, especially from Nanjun to Fancheng, from Guan Yunchang to Cao Zidan and Zhu Ran today.
Jingzhou is prone to plague. You have also found out before that the plague has begun to break out in Nan County, but it has not completely started yet.
Even if Jiangling was captured, Xiahou Shang's troops and horses suffered heavy losses. Coupled with the plague, they would definitely be unable to continue marching.
At this time, there were only two roads in front of Cao Pi.
First, give up the dilapidated Jiangling that was finally obtained, and withdraw the army to Luoyang to wait for the opportunity.
Second, make a desperate move, rush forward with the soldiers and horses around you, and personally lead Xiahou Shang to attack Xiaoling. As long as you defeat Xiaoling, you can directly attack the four counties of Jiangxia and Jingnan.
When the time comes, Jingzhou will be his, and the world will be his too! "
"Then...what does Brother Zheng think of Cao Pi?"
"Does he have a choice?" Zheng Du couldn't help but glance at Zhuge Liang again, "Cao Pi was too anxious to get the throne. He first became king and then emperor. Before, he had taken a middle-of-the-road approach and got the position by luck.
He wanted to prove himself so much, so dominating the world became his obsession!
At this time, Cao Pi was like Cao Mengde in Chibi. He didn't know what was right and what was wrong, but this opportunity was right in front of him, could he give up? "
"No!" Zhuge Liang also nodded in approval, "Not only can't he give up, but the wise men around him... can't persuade him either!"
"Yes...he is about to dominate the world, who can persuade him?" Zheng Du sighed again, and at the same time moved his hand to Wancheng's position, "But...he did this I have completely fallen into the trap you set.
Back then, Cao Ren slaughtered Wancheng and Guan Yu crippled Xiangfan's defense line. Cao Ren even gave up here and put the defense line in Wancheng. He even set fire to Xiangyang, Fancheng and even near Xinye.
As a result, the arrangement of more than ten years was completely in the past, and the road from Wancheng to Jiangling was completely deserted, making it impossible to station troops and horses.
The most important thing is that the Nanyang County Sheriff was killed by Cao Pi...
The battle at Jiangling was also broken, and with the plague, Cao Pi could only push his front forward again, directly in front of Xiaoling.
Fight to the death with Sun Quan.
Sun Quan didn't want everything to be in vain, so his only way was to transfer Lu Xun back and then defend Xiaoling with all his strength.
Sun Quan was incompetent to attack, but he still had the ability to defend... until Lu Xun returned.
But in this way, Cao Pi is destined to have a large area of vacation, half of Jingzhou..."
When Zheng Du said this, his eyes looked at Zhuge Liang even brighter. The more he dug into Zhuge Kongming's plan, the more frightened he became.
He really wanted to know how courageous Zhuge Kongming was to open such a large battlefield to lay out the situation when the gap between the enemy and ourselves was so huge.
"At this time, as long as an army of soldiers and horses appears in Wancheng, the dragons are leaderless, the city is empty, and the people's hearts are absent... Even a fool can take Wancheng directly at this time!
And later... after persisting for a few months, Wancheng completely cut off Cao Pi's escape route.
It's just that Zheng is very curious about one thing. I wonder if Prime Minister Zhuge can explain it? "
"Brother Zheng, you can tell the truth and tell me everything you know!"
"...Zheng is very curious...Prime Minister Zhuge plans to let Liu Chan lead troops to Wancheng, but...how do you ask him to go beyond Shangyong?"
"This...hehehehe..."

Weixing County, Xicheng, in Shen Yi's mansion.
At this time, Shen Yi, the governor of Weixing County, looked at the young man in front of him who had been beaten extremely miserably, and casually took the handkerchief from the guard on the side.
Then he quietly wiped his bloody palms.
Finally, looking at the young man who had only half a life left in front of him, he spoke again.
"Now you can say... Ever since you sneakily appeared at the back door of Mengda Mansion, people in this mansion have been watching you.
Now His Majesty is fighting with the Wu dog in front. What is that sneaky little man Meng Da doing now? "
After the young man heard Shen Yi's words, he couldn't help but twitch, then he raised his head hard, opened his chapped lips and spoke softly.
"The villain is a school official under Jiangdong Lu Yi. He is here to deliver a message to General Meng Da..."
"Sending a letter? What kind of letter are you sending?" After hearing these words, Shen Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked excitedly at the young man in front of her, "Please tell me carefully!"
"The Marquis of Wu knows that General Meng Da has a harmonious relationship with Cao Pi, but he is a surrendered general after all, and is quite unpopular with Cao Wei here.
Therefore, I want the villain to tell General Meng Da, hoping that he can..."
"Asking Meng Da to surrender to Jiangdong?" Shen Yi sneered directly, "Do you really think Shen is a fool? Meng Da has an irreconcilable relationship with His Majesty.
How could you coax you into surrendering? "
"...What the general said is that we did not persuade General Mengda, but...but General Mengda is also willing to leave a way out for himself..."
"The way out!" When Shen Yi heard this, she jumped up from the couch, with surprise in her eyes.
When the young man saw this scene, he immediately lowered his head.
"Yes...yes...the villain has a reply letter from Meng Da in his arms. I just beg the general to spare my life!"
While muttering to himself, the young man lowered his head as if he was resigned to his fate, but Shen Yi did not see the... look of determination in his eyes.
Your Majesty, Prime Minister... I am here today to repay my kindness...
