"Out of the game?" Xi Zhicai was very dignified about this proposal, and couldn't help but stand up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth gently, his thoughts were spinning wildly.

Sometimes, when people are in the game, they will be blinded.

In the battle of Jingzhou City, he suffered a great defeat.

You can only go from active offense to passive defense.

Under the consciousness of defense, defending Yiling, in Xi Zhicai's view, is a major matter related to the life and death of Yizhou.

He never thought of giving up Yiling.

Yiling is the only pass to balance the Yangtze River waterway into Yizhou, lose Yiling, on the Yangtze River waterway, the herdsman army has no foothold at all, can only let the Jiangdong army and Jingzhou army crisscross and cross.

But when Zhuge Liang said this, he was a little moved.

Sometimes, if you want to keep a place, you don't have to keep it.

"If the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army take Yiling, they will inevitably go straight to the White Emperor City, as long as they can successfully cross the White Emperor City, they can go down the river and attack Jiangzhou directly!"

Of course, Xi Zhicai will not make a decision easily, his eyes looked at Zhuge Liang, he wanted to see what else Zhuge Liang could have amazing performance: "Xiao Zhuge , you also know the importance of Jiangzhou in your heart, you are equivalent to putting Jiangzhou on the gambling table to gamble!" ”

What is Jiangzhou?

It is the current seat of governance in Yizhou.

This is the face of Yizhou.

Not to mention that Jiangzhou may be breached, even if it is a soldier in Jiangzhou, it will be a slap in the face, and the face of the Minghou Mansion will definitely be beaten.

Don't underestimate the word face.

It doesn't matter if a person has a face or not, but the face of a political group represents reputation, and if it loses its reputation, it loses the hearts of the people, and the princes who can be beaten to their nests casually can't keep the people.

"Xi Sima, if we defend Yiling to the death, will we be able to defend it in the end?"

Zhuge Liang asked rhetorically.

"This?" When Xi Zhicai heard this, he smiled slightly bitterly, shook his head, and said softly: "I'm afraid it will be 80% lost!" ”

In that battle, the losses were too great.

The current herdsmen have few troops and low morale.

And the battlefield is still on the waterway, not to mention the home of the pastoral army, whether it is the Jiangdong Army or the Jingzhou Army, in the waterway, they are all strong in the four fields, in comparison, the pastoral army is a little weak.

Jingping Water Division was almost disabled in this battle.

Hold on to the land, they still have hope.

Stick to the waterway, it's hard!

"Once lost, Jiangzhou will still face danger, in that case, why don't you dare to gamble!"

Zhuge Liang is very vigorous.

Historically, he belonged to the kind of talent who had not met the master of the Ming Dynasty, studied hard for more than ten years, and cultivated his mind, so as soon as he came out of the mountain, he could explode his foundation and make contributions.

But now Zhuge Liang, a young man and talented, is a little less stable and a little more vigorous.

"That's right!"

Xi Zhicai sighed, he walked out, stood on the riverbank, looked into the distance, looked at the looming warships in the distance, and couldn't help but sink in his heart: "It's just ......"

He is not a wandering man.

But when it comes to the future of the Minghou Mansion, he has to be careful and think about more things, such as the worst consequences, if the Minghou Mansion can afford it.

Stomping !!

A hurried pace and walked behind Xi Zhicai.

"Drama Sima, the lord is in a hurry!"

Yue Shu respectfully sent the secret music.

Jingzhou lost, Jing Wusi has a lot of responsibility, the union of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, Jing Wusi was hidden, although he knew that there was a third-party force to support, but the loss was a loss after all.

This responsibility must be borne by Jing Wusi.

But now is wartime, so Yue Shu is still the same as the Zuo Division of Jingwu Division, responsible for the intelligence coordination of the entire battlefield, and thanks to him in it, Zhuge Liang Xi Zhicai was in it, otherwise how could Zhuge Liang Zhou Cang come in such a timely manner and save Xi Zhicai.

"Sent by Guanzhong?"

Xi Zhicai was a little apprehensive in his heart, he knew very well that there was such a big problem on his battlefield, and the impact on the Guanzhong battlefield was not a little, but he was not afraid that Mu Jing would punish him, but he was afraid of causing the defeat of the Guanzhong battlefield.

"Thousands of miles urgent, the lord has a word, I must hand over the secret letter to you in person!"

"Got it!"

Xi Zhicai did not have a taboo, and opened this secret letter directly in front of Zhuge Liang.

He looked at the contents of the secret letter, and his face was a little gloomy.

It's a bit relaxing.

But there is also a bit of shame.

Mu Jing's decision is not right or wrong, but it is the most decisive, although he asked himself that even if the main force of the Guanzhong herdsman army did not go south, he could hold Yizhou, but failure is failure.

What he feared most was happening.

This is the chain reaction of the battlefield.

Because of the Jingzhou battlefield, it affected the strategic deployment of the entire pastoral army, and even forced the main force of the pastoral army to give up the competition for the entire Guanzhong.

"Zhicai is the master of the master!"

Xi Zhicai muttered to himself, tears in his eyes.

Zhuge Liang stood quietly behind Xi Zhicai, his eyes flickered, but he didn't say a word, at this time, he was not qualified to speak.

"Little Zhuge , follow your proposal!"

Xi Zhicai's guilt and sadness are just a matter of a moment, he is a resolute person, his mistakes have been made, now is the time to make amends, not the time to blame himself, he took a deep breath and said to Zhuge Liang: "I now appoint you as the staff general of the Beiwutang Staff Division, mainly responsible for the withdrawal of Yiling, how to arrange, you can make up your own mind!" ”

"No!"

Zhuge Liang gave up his hand, took Xi Zhicai and gave the military order tiger talisman, and turned to leave.

"Jiang Dongjun, let's play slowly!"

Xi Zhicai pinched the secret letter in his hand, looked into the distance, looked into the distance, compared to Jingzhou, he hated Jiangdong more, since you went back on your word and stabbed me, then don't blame me for being a mortal enemy, this time, you must let them go in and out.

……………………………………

To the east of Yiling, there are Yiting and Yidao.

The road is on the south bank.

The pavilion is on the north shore.

The encirclement of the north and the south forced Yiling.

And stationed on the south bank was the main army of the Jingzhou Army, Cai Mao, and Huang Zu.

The Jiangdong Army was stationed in Yuting.

On the shore, a water village rises from the ground, crossing the entire river, and if you want to cross here, you must suffer the crazy attack of the Jiangdong warships.

"Gong Jin!"

Sun Ce stepped in, threw the helmet of the war gun in his hand to his soldiers, and then said hello to Zhou Yu, who was sitting in front of the desk.

"Went to inquire about the news in person again?"

Zhou Yu raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "Just leave these things to the scouts to do, why bother doing it yourself?" ”

Sun Ce is brave, and he likes to do it himself on the battlefield, and he will do some scout work himself, which is very affinity for the soldiers and has the support of the soldiers.

But Zhou Yu was actually reluctant to let him do this.

The son of a daughter can't sit down.

As a commander-in-chief, Sun Ce should have sat down, calmed down, read more military books, and practiced his mind, as long as he was stable, there were very few who could defeat him on the battlefield.

"I didn't go and see it in person, it's not practical!"

Sun Ce took off his armor, sat down, and took a sip of the tea on the desk, he didn't like tea, but he didn't drink alcohol in the army, and he couldn't offend the rules he had set for himself, and Zhou Yu stared at him.

"How's that going?" Zhou Yu asked Sun Ce.

"I feel that the pastoral army is stubbornly defending, but ......" Sun Ce thought about it and said, "It doesn't feel a little right!" ”

"Be clear!"

"I just can't say it!" Sun Ce said: "Logically speaking, they will defend Yiling, I have personally seen it, the formation of the pastoral army, there is indeed a taste of defending Yiling, but I have some feeling that their formation is too smooth!" ”

"You mean, the shepherds might abandon Yiling?"

Zhou Yu's eyes became solemn.

"It should be impossible, it stands to reason that they don't dare to let us in, but they have such an intuition!" Sun Ce thought deeply for a while, and said: "Let's put it this way, I look at their formation, it should be guarded to the death, I can say, the strict defense is not guarded like this, if it is me, it should be outside the defensive formation, there will be some gaps, with the trap between the virtual and the real as a lure, better save troops, and can also contain the enemy's troops, but in my opinion, their formations are tightly sealed in all directions, as if they are afraid that others will not know that he wants to defend Yiling, so it doesn't feel right!" ”

"Since it doesn't feel right, give it a try!"

Zhou Yu trusted Sun Ce's instincts.

Some people, on the battlefield, even if they have no basis for speaking, but their intuition can keenly perceive things that you can't even analyze, and this kind of person is born on the battlefield.

"How do you try?"

"Night Attack!"

Zhou Yu said: "Attack tonight!" “

"Do you want to inform the Jingzhou Army!"

"Without them, it would be difficult for us to get benefits, and now we still need their support, so naturally we need to inform them and make them ready!" Zhou Yu said.
