Chapter 269: There is no strong mouth for sending troops
Zhuge Ke had an inexplicable excitement on his face, in fact, a long time ago, Zhuge Ke had a plan, a plan to destroy the Wei army's grain route and force Sima Yi to withdraw from the army.
However, this plan was extremely difficult to implement, and the main reason was that the Wei army set up a large number of checkpoints at the road pass between Yiyang and Jiashi, which greatly reduced the space for Wu Guo's detailed activities, and the Wu army could not effectively grasp the time and route of the Wei army's grain transportation.
Only knowing the existence of the grain road but not knowing the time and route of transporting grain is equivalent to a void, Zhuge Kekong has a plan, but has not implemented the plan.
Now the Wei army has attacked Jiashikou all the way, although it has been blocked by the ghost stream, but the Wu army has been in a passive situation, in order to reverse this situation, Zhuge Ke even thought about a lot of methods, but they lack the conditions for implementation, and none of them have a specific action plan.
After learning about the specific time and route of the Wei army's grain transportation through Qin Yuan, Zhuge Ke couldn't hide his excitement, and convened the generals overnight to discuss the military situation, wanting to study a set of plans to attack the Wei army's grain route.
"General Zhuge , is this not a trap for the Wei people? Sima Yi is treacherous and experienced, and the grain road is the most important thing, how can we easily let us succeed? I'm afraid there is something strange in this, I hope the general will investigate it clearly. Lu Yi immediately expressed his opinion.
Lu Yi's opinion is not unreasonable, what kind of person is Sima Yi, it is an old fritter who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has nothing to do, such an important matter as the grain road, how can he take care of it in vain, he must ensure 100% safety, and there can be no leakage, if it can really make the Wu army successfully sneak attack, then Sima Yi is probably not Sima Yi.
However, Liuzan's opinion was different from that of Lu Yi, he said: "No matter how powerful Sima Yi is, he is old, old and faint, so he will do something to force Qin Yuan, the Wei army's grain road stretches for two or three hundred miles, and they can't fortify everywhere, as long as our army catches a little, hits him in an ambush, and burns his grain and grass, it is enough to win." ”
Tang Shi also chimed in: "Yes, the last general also thinks that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, whether or not he can break the Wei army is up to him." ”
Although the opinions of the generals are different, Zhuge Ke seems to have his own ideas, especially after learning that Cao Liang is in the Wei army's food team, it is even more firm Zhuge Ke's idea, even if this is an adventure, it is worth him to let go and fight once.
Maybe hatred can really make people lose their minds, but Zhuge Ke doesn't think so, hatred may make him more impulsive, but he will definitely not lose his mind, even if it is a risk, at least it will be controlled within the range of what he can bear, and it will not be a suicidal action.
Zhuge Ke said to the generals: "On Qin Yuan's side, a certain has been repeatedly tested, and there is no inconsistency in his words, and the situation of the Wei army described is roughly the same as that of our army, at least from the current point of view, Qin Yuan's surrender is still trustworthy." The news he provided about the Wei army's grain transportation is extremely important to us, and if we can seize this opportunity and cut off its grain and grass, we can force the Wei army to retreat without a fight, so we should not miss this opportunity. But in order to avoid falling into the Wei people's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, we still have to be prepared with both hands. ”
Zhuge Ke immediately ordered two routes, and half of the 50,000 troops were left to garrison the Guichou Stream, led by Lu Yi, to strengthen the vigilance and not give the Wei people any opportunity to take advantage of.
With the dangerous terrain of the ghostly stream, it is not a matter of many people who can't hold it, as long as the Wu army fights up the spirit of twelve points and strictly guards it, even if there are only a few thousand people, it is impossible for the Wei army to overpass.
The remaining 25,000 people, led by Zhuge Ke himself, with Tang Zhi as the vanguard, went straight to Wuqiangkou from the small road, and set up an ambush there to ambush the grain team of the Wei army.
This way, Qin Yuan will be the guide, and he will lead the way.
Lu Ju was a little worried, and originally wanted to persuade Zhuge Ke again, but Zhuge Ke had already made up his mind and insisted on going his own way, and the entire Wu army immediately took action.
Qin Yuan saw Wu Jun in action, and secretly slapped his thigh, it's done! Sima Shi's plan was really smooth, Zhuge Ke really took the bait, it seems that he should find a chance to slip away.
But even if it is a slippery ride, it must wait until Zhuge Ke sends troops, otherwise Zhuge Ke will find out that he is missing, and he may change his plan of action and waste his previous efforts.
Just when Qin Yuan was secretly thinking about when to slip away, the herald came to him and asked him to go to see Zhuge Ke immediately.
Qin Yuan still thought that the matter had been revealed, and his face changed greatly, but he had no other way but to follow behind the herald and honestly go to see Zhuge Ke.
Qin Yuan and his party only had five people, even if Sima Shi said that the four guards were not ordinary soldiers but strong martial artists, but no matter how strong their martial arts were, could they defeat more than 10,000 people?
Is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, Qin Yuan decisively gave up the idea of running away at this moment, but honestly came to Zhuge Ke, waiting for the fate.
After Zhuge Ke saw Qin Yuan, he said happily: "General Qin, thank you for the information, I decided to personally lead the army to Wuqiangkou to ambush the Wei army's grain team, and asked General Qin to lead the way on his behalf." ”
Qin Yuan suddenly realized, it turned out that it was not Zhuge Ke who had discovered anything, but Zhuge Ke wanted to take him to set off together and go to Wuqiangkou.
Qin Yuan was full of grievances, and he didn't have a place to tell that the strategy he offered was to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot in the end.
Although Qin Yuan was a hundred unwilling, in front of Zhuge Ke, he still maintained a calm state, did not dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction, and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.
Qin Yuan had the drawings in his hand, and it was naturally suitable for him to lead the way.
Zhuge Ke is preparing to set off overnight, and the estimated time to arrive at Wuqiangkou should be exactly at dawn.
Marching during this time period, it was difficult for the Wei army to detect, so it was safer.
And according to the information revealed by Qin Yuan, the Wei army transports grain and grass about twice a month, and if this opportunity is missed, it will have to wait for at least half a month.
And Zhuge Ke doesn't seem to be willing to wait any longer, what's more, the world is unpredictable, who knows what kind of situation will appear in half a month, if you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you will regret it for life.
The army was quickly assembled, and under Zhuge Ke's order, the 25,000-strong Wu army quietly left the ghost stream and rushed from the path to Wuqiangkou overnight.
