Chapter 1362: The previous hands and feet were exposed
Fate is sometimes so wonderful. Liu Hua and Cao Jing are separated from each other, and they both miss each other.
As the father of the two, he has different moods. Cao Cao complained that the female university was not staying, and Liu Yu was happy to take advantage of Cao Cao's daughter. Cao Cao and Liu Yu have been enemies for life, and Liu Yu feels that he has won Cao Cao again.
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it is Liu Yu's side that has received huge benefits.
The development of the situation in Yizhou has become very favorable to Liu Yu. It is a big disadvantage for Liu Bei. What Liu Bei needs most now is that his military advisor Xu Shu can turn things around.
Wei Yan's letters, Liao Li's letters, and Liu Bei's letters were all gathered together by coincidence, and they were all placed in front of Xu Shu, who was guarding Chengdu.
At this time, Xu Shu was the first two big. Xu Shu had predicted that the development of the situation would be unfavorable to Liu Bei, who knew that there would be such an unfavorable situation.
Ba Jun was rushed in by Gao Shun and rushed straight to Jiangzhou City. Zhang Ren occupied Ba County's Dianjiang City, blocking the reason why Brazil County supported Ba County. Sima Yi used a big flood to flood the Nanjiang City that Wei Yan had painstakingly managed, and by the way, he wiped out a large number of Liu Army's troops, and almost all the troops were wiped out. Only Wei Yan and Sun Qian returned to Langzhong City and continued to hold on. Moreover, Sima Yi directly killed Hanchang City, directly dividing Brazil County into two halves. That's pretty damn! Because of the loss of Hanchang, when Eba County was almost lost and Pasir County could not be supported, Padang County became an isolated island, surrounded by Liu's army on all sides.
Badong County no longer belongs to Liu Bei.
The east gate of Yizhou has been opened, and only a few cities such as Hanping City and Jiangzhou City are still in Liu Bei's hands, maintaining a precarious defense line.
Wei Yan asked Xu Shu for tactical guidance, Liao Li asked for tactical guidance, and Liu Bei hoped that Xu Shu would give countermeasures. The pressure of the entire Yizhou needs to be borne by Xu Shu.
Xu Shu felt that the burden on his shoulders had become unusual.
He now finally understood why Liu Yu had been able to win battles all the time. Even if Xu Shu had calculated very well, and there was a strategy to fight back against Liu Yu, he was constantly forced by Liu Jun, which made countless changes in Xu Shu's plan.
In Xu Shu's plan, the land of Samba resisted Liu Yu's army and ensured that the eastern front would not be lost. Liu Yu, who couldn't open the situation for a long time, must be anxious, and will definitely ask his strategists and generals to open the situation as soon as possible. The more irritable the opponent, the more Xu Shu was able to calculate him. As long as Liu Yu is dragged and Liu Jun's grain and grass are consumed, victory will ultimately belong to Yizhou, Liu Bei, and Xu Shu.
The current situation is not what Xu Shu thinks at all. Liu Yu was not impatient, now Liu Bei was impatient.
What's more serious is that Liu Bei also expressed his concern about Wei Yan in the letter he sent. Xu Shu was shocked to the extreme. At this critical moment, Liu Bei actually had doubts about his sworn brother and important generals, which was very fatal.
"No! You must advise the lord not to show a trace of suspicion about Wei Yan! It's self-defeating!" Xu Shu immediately repaired the book and asked people to send it to Liu Bei.
First stopped Liu Bei's suspicion of Wei Yan.
Wei Yan had a huge influence in Liu Bei's army, and Xu Shu didn't want anything to happen on Wei Yan's side. If it was Liu Bei's side that caused Wei Yan to have an accident, it would have an immeasurable chain reaction.
As a military advisor, you must not let such a thing happen.
What worries Xu Shu the most is that with Liu Bei's ability, it really shouldn't have such an idea. Xu Shu thought that he knew Liu Bei very well, but at this time, it seemed that Xu Shu did not know Liu Bei deeply.
Who is Liu Bei? For his own sake, he could not even want his own son, let alone a sworn brother. When it's useful, it's a brother, it's useless, or it's a threat to Liu Bei, so it's okay to abandon it directly.
Faced with such a situation, as a military advisor, Xu Shu must come up with a countermeasure. As long as Langzhong City in Brazil County is not lost, the Sword Pavilion Pass is safe. For now, the first task is to support Langzhong City. Xu Shu immediately transferred 3,000 soldiers and horses from Chengdu City to Langzhong City to support. Brazil County had just experienced a big defeat and morale was important. Xu Shu decided to transport some wine, meat, grain and grass from the treasury in Chengdu so that Wei Yan could appease the army.
After the decision, Xu Shu issued a military order in the name of the military advisor. His subordinate Xu Zhang quickly took Xu Shu's military order to go down to do business. Xu Shu pays attention to efficiency, although his subordinate Xu Zhang has a poor reputation and average ability, but the efficiency is definitely fast.
Xu Shu doesn't need how strong his subordinates are.
It was also time for Jiange Pass to transport grain and grass, and Xu Shu also issued a military order to transport grain and grass. Jiange Pass and Liu Yu's army confronted each other directly, and Liu Bei personally sat in charge, and the problem of grain and grass could not be lost.
For Liao Li in Hanping City, Xu Shu issued a military order to Liao Li after studying it for a while. Liao Li was ordered to detach a part of his troops and horses to defend Hanping City, and Liao immediately left Hanping City and went to Jiangzhou to sit in the town, making sure that Jiangzhou was not lost.
Hanpyeong Castle is very important, it is a precipitous city. Gao Shun attacked many times but couldn't take it. Jiangzhou City does not have the same advantage as Hanping City in terms of topography, but the geographical location is very important, and after capturing Jiangzhou, you can directly kill Chengdu.
For the sake of Chengdu City and his own plan, Xu Shu had to sacrifice Hanping City.
In fact, Xu Shu is most concerned about Zhuge Liang in Wudu County.
Contrary to Xu Shu's expectations, after Zhuge Liang captured Wudu County, he had no intention of continuing to march. Zhuge Liang's personality is cautious, Xu Shu knows, but he has no intention of moving troops for so long, so it is not as simple as being cautious.
Xu Shu has arranged so many spies in Wudu County, and the information reported back is that Zhuge Liang is rectifying government affairs in Wudu County, winning over the people, and so on. It's just that there is no military operation at all.
Xu Shu couldn't help but feel worried. In his plan, luring Liu Jun to kill Wudu County was the first step, and then from Liu Jun attacking the county from Wudu County, his Xu Shu's plan could be implemented. Wudu County was a breakthrough and an important link for Xu Shu to defeat Liu Yu's army. However, Zhuge Liang is not leaving in Wudu County, and Xu Shu is very tricky.
"Could it be that Kong Ming has calculated my plan?" The more Xu Shu thought about it, the more likely it became, and he was shocked.
Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu and others have been together for so many years, and they are very familiar with each other's personalities and work styles, and it is not impossible to calculate Xu Shu's strategy.
After layers of analysis, Xu Shu was able to conclude that Zhuge Liang must have a conspiracy. Whether he sees through Xu Shu's strategy, he is not so sure.
"Zhuge Liang responds to all changes with the same, and there are eight or nine relying on Wudu to drag down the troops of Yizhou, so that the pressure on Sima Yi, Gao Shun, and Liu Yu is reduced. If there is a slight change, you can also come back to Liu Yu in the Sword Pavilion. After analysis, Xu Shu could almost guess Zhuge Liang's intention to stay in Wudu County.
Indeed, the meaning of Zhuge Liang's stay in Wudu County is partly what Xu Shu analyzed. Only Zhuge Liang knew the true intention.
Xu Shu came to the map and kept thinking about all possible changes and how to deal with them.
"Huh? Why has there been no action on Jiangdong Sun Ce's side for so long? Xu Shu remembered what he had received before about Jiangdong sending troops.
But at this time, there was no news from Jiangdong Sun Ce's side.
"There's something wrong with that!" Xu Shu had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Jiangdong and Yizhou joined forces to deal with Liu Yu on the basis of the principle of mutual benefit and reciprocity. In fact, if Jiangdong was attacked by Liu Yu and did not lose a large part of his troops, Liu Bei would not have sent troops. In the same way, if Yizhou does not pay a serious price, Jiangdong will not rashly send troops.
No one wants to be targeted by Liu Yu and help the other party attract firepower.
But now that Liu Bei has been in full swing with Liu Yu, Jiangdong has not moved at all, so it will be very serious.
Xu Shu soon sensed a problem, Yi and Fu Shiren went to Jiangdong and kept sending back relevant information, but he and Liu Bei were completely convinced.
In case Yi and Fu Shiren were persuaded by Jiangdong Sun Ce and joined Jiangdong, the news sent before was perfunctory to Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei could rest assured that he would fight Liu Yu to the death, and let Jiangdong take advantage of the fisherman. He didn't expect that Yi and Fu Shiren had already been caught, and the news he received before was all fake news sent by Gao Shun.
Whether Jiangdong sent troops or not, Xu Shu was a little worried, but he didn't put all his hopes on Jiangdong. It is Yizhou and Liu Bei who Liu Yu is going to perish. Even if Jiangdong sends troops, if Liu Yu is ruthless and vows not to give up if he does not destroy Liu Bei, the pressure on Liu Bei will not be reduced at all.
In response to such a situation, Xu Shu kept thinking in his heart, and finally had a very good plan, which could reverse the predicament of the land of Samba in one fell swoop.
Xu Shu calculated all the details, and after taking into account some changes, a perfect plan came out.
After thinking about it, Xu Shu was about to order someone to send his plan to Langzhong City.
At this time, Xu Zhang, a subordinate who had been sent by Xu Shu to the treasury to allocate grain and grass, ran back in a panic. The closer he got to Xu Shu, the faster Xu Zhang's speed became, and without noticing it for a while, Xu Zhang tripped over the gap in the ground and fell into the mud. However, Xu Zhang didn't care at all, and directly got up and rushed towards Xu Shu's side.
Xu Shu's face changed, Xu Zhang has always been calm, and something big has happened like this.
Xu Zhang came to Xu Shu and said with a sad face: "Military advisor, something has happened to the treasury!" Let's check it out! ”
"Treasury Event?" Xu Shu's heart tightened, and he asked, "Is there a fire?" What does Fei Guan do to eat! If the army division hands over the treasury to him, will there be a fire? ”
Xu Zhang cried with a sad face and said: "It's more serious than a fire!" Strategist, we don't have much food left in our treasury! Go check it out! ”
"No food??" Xu Shu's face was incredible, Yizhou is the land of abundance, and there will be no food.
"Lead the way!" Xu Shu directly asked Xu Zhang to lead the way.
Xu Zhang hurriedly led the way in front, and at the gate, the carriage was already ready.
Xu Shu got into the carriage directly, and Xu Zhang followed closely.
In the carriage, Xu Zhang told the specific situation.
It turned out that Xu Zhang took Xu Shu's military order to the treasury to allocate grain and grass. As the new lieutenant of Zhili, Fei Guan did not hesitate and sent someone to the granary to transfer the grain and grass needed by Xu Zhang's military order to Xu Zhang.
However, there is not much grain left in the granary. After Fei Shi and Xu Zhang arrived, they saw the truth and turned pale with fright. Xu Zhang hurriedly came back and asked Xu Shu to come over, but Fei Shi immediately blocked the news.
"Strategist, the grain in our granary is divided into large wooden boxes. I don't know which bad idea it was. Part of the top of this grain box is real grain, and the bottom is all sand! Xu Zhang cried and told everything about it.
Xu Shu's whole body was about to collapse. He vaguely remembered that when Liao Li stepped down, Fa Zheng was appointed by Liu Bei to be in charge of grain and grass logistics. However, Fa Zheng has changed the mode of storing grain and grass in all granaries and replaced them with large wooden boxes. It is said to be convenient to manage, prevent water flow, and avoid food backlog.
Now it seems that Fa Zheng was already scheming against Liu Bei at that time.
Xu Zhang secretly glanced at Xu Shu, but Xu Shu was expressionless, but his heart was sad and angry.
"You're doing the right thing! This kind of thing absolutely has to be blocked from the news. This military advisor will give you a note! Xu Shu said a sentence after a long time.
It's a good thing to have merit, but Xu Zhang really can't be happy. After following Xu Shu for a long time, he can understand some things. Without grain and grass, how can Liu Bei defend Yizhou?
After a short time, Xu Shu came to the granary. Martial law has been imposed on all sides of the granary, and idlers are not allowed to approach.
Xu Shu nodded, Fei Guan still has some ability to deal with emergencies.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Fei Guan was already waiting. Such a big thing happened, Fei Guan really couldn't bear it.
"See the Strategist!" Fei Guan was sweating profusely.
Xu Shu said softly: "This is not the place to talk, go in and talk about it!" ”
Fei Guan nodded and led Xu Shu into the granary.
In the granary, many soldiers were busy, and they opened the granaries one by one. Xu Shu saw a huge grain box with his own eyes, except for the grain on it, the rest was dirt and sand, and the proportion of grain was only about 20%.
Fei Guan took Xu Shu to a grain box that had been completely disassembled, pointed to the wooden plank on the ground and said, "Commander, look. This type of grain box has a two-layer structure, separated by wooden planks. The top planks store the grain, and the bottom is all sand and gravel and dirt. ”
There is no need to explain Fei Guado, Xu Shu knows the meaning of this.
"Military advisor, according to the lower officer's speculation, this must be the hand and foot that Fa Xiaozhi did when he was there!" Fei Guan said affirmatively.
"How many of these granaries are there?" Xu Shu also knew that it was Fa Zheng's ghost, but he now wanted to know how serious it was.
Fei Guan wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out an account book, and said: "Xiaguan just counted that there are nearly nine layers of granaries in the four granaries in Chengdu City!" ”
Xu Shu's face was pale, and so much food was passive.
Fei Guan felt that Xu Shu's psychological quality was excellent, and he threw a huge bomb and said: "The granary outside Chengdu, the lower officials have also sent people to investigate. Now there is a granary that has returned, and the situation on their side is the same as that in the city. ”
It's the same outside the city! Xu Shu was a little unsteady, and Fa Zheng definitely took all the food.
"Fa Xiaozhi! Don't let me meet you! Xu Shu said these words fiercely.
