Chapter 1144: Trials and Opportunities
In the night, a flash of fire rose into the sky.
Yiling.
This city, which can choke the mouth of the Yangtze River, has been directly broken open by the generals of the Jiangdong Army, who are like tigers and wolves, and they have been completely occupied in less than half an hour.
But all that was left for them was an empty city.
The storehouses, the arsenals, and the defenders of the city are gone.
"Ran!"
Sun Ce stood in the middle of the city, scanning the four directions, with some regret in the depths of his eyes: "If you knew that you would have started the war earlier, don't let them run so easily!" ”
In his view, the shepherd is a lost dog.
Naturally, you have to fight.
It is a time to strive for the greatest merit and annihilate more herdsmen.
"No hurry!"
Zhou Yu wore a battle armor, heroic and extraordinary, and his handsome face was a little dignified, and he said in a low voice: "The herdsman army gave up Yiling, not to flee in the wilderness, but to withdraw in an orderly manner, then this matter is not so simple, we have to think in the long run!" ”
"Yiling is the last pass to enter Yizhou, without Yiling, can they still prevent us from entering Yizhou!"
Sun Ce snorted coldly: "Once we take advantage of the situation to enter Yizhou, the rule of the Ming Marquis Mansion over Yizhou will be in jeopardy, even if we can't capture Yizhou, we can plunder the population and grab the grain, the country of Yizhou Tianfu is extremely rich, no matter which aspect, it is beneficial to us!" ”
In the world, Yizhou is the richest.
Even Jiangdong is a few points behind, which no one can deny.
Mu Jing dared to go to war on two fronts.
Koto didn't dare.
Because Yizhou is rich, because Yizhou's economic conditions are good, this is the confidence of Minghou Mansion.
"How can it be so simple!"
Zhou Yu shook his head: "We can enter Yizhou, can we come out smoothly after that?" ”
"Why not?"
Sun Ce's eyes widened.
"If we defeat the herdsmen, we will naturally drive straight in, there is no problem, we can still run if we can't beat them, but this herdsman army has withdrawn, and we don't know how much main force they retain!"
Zhou Yu said: "If he suddenly kills, you will make sure that our waterway can still be unblocked!" ”
"Although there is danger, but we are now with the main force of the Jingzhou army, which is enough to fight against the entire Yizhou, and the main force of the Jingzhou army has entered Wuling, we have Wuling to respond, as long as we leave part of the main force and contain them on the Yangtze River waterway, with their strength, they will not threaten us much, we still have a chance!"
Sun Ce said.
"The point is, can you trust the Jingzhou Army?"
"This ......"
Of course Sun Ce didn't believe it.
This cooperation was purely accidental.
Jingzhou persuaded him.
At present, he chose to join forces with Jingzhou to deal with Yizhou, but it does not mean that he can trust the Jingzhou army, otherwise he would not have pulled out such a long distance when the war started, and he would not be afraid to turn his face soon.
"Uncle, Yizhou is the enemy, Jingzhou is also the enemy, Jingzhou divided the territory of Jiangxia in exchange for us to give up the alliance with Yizhou and turn to the pastoral army, but between us, we will still fight!"
Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "I dare to say that as long as we step into Yizhou for half a step, the Jingzhou army will immediately turn its face, as long as he connects the boat with iron cables and blocks the Yangtze River, we will be trapped and die in Yizhou!" ”
"It's a pity!"
Sun Ce also understood this truth, but he was just a little unwilling: "Such an opportunity to defeat the Ming Marquis Mansion has been lost like this, and it will be difficult to have such an opportunity again in the future." ”
They tore up the agreement with the herdsmen and directly transferred their troops to deal with the herdsmen, not because of Jingzhou's separating of Jiangxia.
What's more, they want to take advantage of this opportunity to suppress the herdsmen.
The shepherd's development is too violent.
If Jingzhou is taken by the herdsmen and a neighbor in the future, maybe it will be more difficult for Jiangdong to be peaceful, which is why Sun Ce and Zhou Yu suddenly ignored Jiangdong's reputation and wanted to fight the herdsmen by surprise.
"There's still a chance!"
Zhou Yu smiled: "Let's rectify it first, and then, we have to take a look at the movements of this herdsman's army, and then make a judgment, whether they will return to Yizhou, or stay and continue to fight with us, this is very important!" ”
………………
Yiling to the north, more than 100 miles.
Near Nagasaka Slope.
"Xi Sima, the scout just came with the news that the Jiangdong Army has entered Yiling!"
"So fast?"
Xi Zhicai was a little surprised.
"It stands to reason that they can be suppressed for three days, unless they are dead, otherwise they will at least slowly test and then march, but I didn't expect that in one day, they will see through the suspicious array we have laid down!"
Zhuge Liang frowned, this was a blow to him.
This suspicion was set up by him.
But when he turned his head, he was recognized by someone, and he drove straight in.
"On the battlefield, you can't underestimate anyone!" Although Xi Zhicai was a little surprised, he didn't delve into it, and it was still within his acceptable range, after all, the main force had been withdrawn, and Yiling was left to them to toss, he was more concerned about Zhuge Liang's growth, this Zhuge Liang He is more and more optimistic, this future, is definitely the most outstanding strategist, and even the boss.
He has only experienced this battle, and he can be regarded as knowing himself, and he can plan for the battlefield and the world, but he can't be the main general.
Something was missing.
To elaborate, it should be conspiring and continuing.
On the battlefield, the battle record is fleeting, so he is not a suitable commander.
But Zhuge Liang, he could feel it.
This is not just a strategist's material, there is a chance to be the main general, this is a handsome talent, or a handsome talent who is proficient in Wen Taowu and Wu Strategy, and his future growth is immeasurable.
"No!"
Zhuge Liang nodded, this small blow couldn't hit him, he quickly cheered up: "Next, I think that we can lead the battlefield to Jingzhou City again!" ”
"Wait!"
Xi Zhicai shook his head: "I have to see if they have the courage to enter Yizhou!" ”
"I don't think they have the guts for a short time!" Judging from Zhuge Liang's own substitution, he will not go in, because it is too risky to enter Yizhou, whether it is Jingzhou or Jiangdong, they may not be willing to take risks.
"Don't underestimate people's hearts!"
Xi Zhicai's eyes narrowed slightly: "The people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, there are not many chances for Yizhou to be severely defeated, and now it is one, who knows if they will take the risk of sending troops in order to severely defeat Yizhou!" ”
"Then wait first!"
Zhuge Liang also thinks that what Xi Zhicai said is right.
"You can't wait!" Xi Zhicai stood up, looked at the sky that was about to light up, and said: "Our position can't be hidden, the first one to deal with us is definitely not the Jiangdong Army and the main force of Jingzhou!" ”
"Wenpin!"
Zhuge Liang reacted quickly, and as soon as he could, he spit out a name.
"Hmm!"
Xi Zhicai said: "Wen Ping was tricked by you before, but his main force still exists, once they find out that our location is less than three days away from them, he will go straight to come!" ”
"I have an idea!"
"Say!"
"Hit him first!"
"Why?"
"Before the Jiangdong Army and the main force of Jingzhou reacted, they must have thought that we would defend at most and dare not attack, so at this time, if we attack, we will be able to attack them by surprise!"
"But once entangled, we will face the storm of their main force......"
"So you have to defeat Wenpin in a short time!"
"But what if you can't?"
"Xi Sima, we need a victory, we must do it!" Zhuge Liang said firmly.
"Is there a good solution?" Xi Zhicai took a deep breath and asked Zhuge Liang.
"I didn't think of it for a while, but I think I can try it!" There is no beginning and no tail, and I don't know how to fight, so what is the best strategy.
"Hmm!" Xi Zhicai looked at Zhuge Liang's gaze more and more satisfied, there are very few youngsters who are vibrant, capable, intelligent, and stable, he has a decision, and said: "Since you are so resolute, then I will give you the opportunity to take charge alone, I allow you to mobilize the main force of any department, how to fight, I will not interfere, as long as it is under the military order, do not dare to disobey, but I want the results!" ”
"I ......"
Zhuge Liang was a little apprehensive.
"Don't dare?" Drama is exciting.
"Dare!"
Zhuge Liang himself is a young man with surging blood, how could he admit it in front of Xi Zhicai, he didn't say a word, and took this task down, this will be a test, but also an opportunity, an opportunity to be alone: "I want the main force of the Violent Bear Army!" ”
The only thing he can command like an arm is the Tyrant Bear Army.
"Is it enough?"
"Add another battalion, Chen Zhizhonglang will personally lead it, take it as a reinforcement, unless it is defeated, it is not allowed to attack!"
"Why?"
"Think about the consequences of losing first, and then think about the chance of winning!" Zhuge Liang said: "After all, we can't afford to lose now!" ”
"Okay!"
………………………………
Yi Dao.
The light of dawn was refracted on this small riverside town, bringing a flood of light, and the soldiers began to wake up one by one, and then made a burst of earth-shaking drill sounds.
"The Jiangdong Army took Yiling last night!"
Huang Zu and Cai Mao walked side by side on the school grounds, and Huang Zu took the initiative to speak.
"I know!"
Cai Mao nodded.
"Yiling didn't resist, what does the herdsman mean by this, giving up the last pass to enter Yizhou, it seems a little weird!" Huang Zu, like Cai Mao, is a famous general in water warfare, otherwise he would not be able to hold Jiangxia in history.
"No weirdness!"
Cai Mao fought the most with the herdsmen, and he was also the person who could best touch the strategic deployment of the herdsmen, he squinted his eyes and said: "Yiling was originally unable to hold, the herdsmen were newly defeated, and the morale of the Jiangdong army and our army was flourishing. ”
"Isn't he afraid that we'll go straight in?"
"But if they let go, will we dare to go into Yizhou?" Cai Mao asked rhetorically.
"It turns out that they are broken jars!"
Huang Zu comprehended: "This drama is bold, he actually dares to make a bet with us, bet that we don't dare to go in?" ”
