Chapter 23 Xiao Lang's comeback, pointing at Xiangyang!
"The Prime Minister attacked Jingzhou and committed two taboos: one is to divide the army of more than 400,000 into three routes: left, center, and right, and the middle road is constantly divided, resulting in scattered forces and easy to be broken by others!
The second is that the heart of revenge is too heavy, blindly staring at Wancheng, not winning the support of the people, and the army has lost its mobility, and as a result, it is led by the nose, and it is naturally controlled everywhere!
Liu Bei was just the opposite, regardless of the gains and losses of one city and one place, he was flexible and moved from east to west, and then looked for a favorable opportunity to concentrate all his forces to eliminate the scattered Cao army, accumulate small victories into big victories, and grasp the initiative in the war!
In the future, you will be generals, and you must firmly remember that soldiers are fish, people are water, hearts are nets, and good governance is fishermen...... An army that has lost the hearts and minds of the people, even if it is well-equipped and strong, will not escape defeat! ”
"The words of the master's teachings are remembered by the apprentices!"
…………………………………………
On the surface of the Baihe River, on the two-story boat, Xiao Yi is sitting precariously, facing a map of the nine counties of Jingzhou, explaining the current battle situation, and the dense red and black arrows on it represent the situation of the Cao and Liu armies - the red is strong and defeated, and the black is weak but wins!
Deng Ai and Hao Zhao sat next to them, listened attentively, and took out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote down the key points of the explanation.
They studied in Zhengming Academy, and they were also incorporated into the 'Student Army', and went south with the army, as Xiao Yi's descendant disciples, they naturally had to focus on training, in addition to daily military training, they also had to learn military strategies, attack and kill methods!
"Our army attacked Nanyang County, but as a result, four battles and four defeats, the loss of eighty or ninety thousand men and horses, and the fighting spirit also plummeted.
"What the senior brother said is extremely true, the master is invincible, and he will be able to level Jingzhou in one fell swoop, and it is estimated that the messenger of the Prime Minister will arrive soon!"
"In this way, we can also go into battle to kill the enemy and build up our achievements!"
……………………………………
In the hearts of young people, there is a dream of being stubborn, crisscrossing the battlefield, and winning the fame of the world, Deng Ai and Hao Zhao are no exception, and as the disciples of the ghost-faced Xiao Lang, their heart of contribution is even stronger, and they dream of charging into battle and cutting off people's heads with swords!
However, since the southern expedition of the army, Xiao Yi has been sitting in the rear and responsible for the transportation of grain and grass, but the two apprentices are depressed, and they look forward to going to the battlefield every day, and now that the opportunity has finally appeared, they are naturally very happy!
"Haha! --Ha ha! ”
Xiao Yi smiled and said nothing, the two apprentices are smart and brave, one can be handsome, the other can be a general, and the future is limitless, but they are both pure soldiers and don't understand the darkness of political struggle!
Cao Cao was suspicious, unwilling to let Xiao Yi make meritorious service on the battlefield, but put it in the rear, for the sake of the world's plan, Xiao Yi could bear it, but on the account book in his heart, there was a big black dot!
Now that the front line is defeated and morale is frustrated, and he has let himself go out to save the situation, will he go if he is waved and will come...... There is such a cheap thing, the Taoist priest is cautious, and he can't afford to make it early!
If you want Xiao Yi to make a move, in addition to enough sincerity, you must also have enough interests, otherwise, Ren Er is in a hurry, I will not move, see who is more anxious?
"Report --- Shang Shu's servant shot Mao Jue by boat, claiming that he wanted to meet Da Sima, and there was a major event conveyed by the military aircraft!"
"When Xiao came before, he must have been ordered by the Prime Minister to transfer me to lead the troops to deal with Liu Bei and Xu Shu - please!"
"No!"
Just as Cao Cao was talking, Cao Cao's messenger arrived, Xiao Yi thought for a while, and verbally said the word 'please', but the person did not mean to get up, but took out a silver needle, pierced into his abdomen-Qi Sea Acupoint, three mentions and three releases, skillfully ......
A magical scene appeared, Xiao Lang, who was originally energetic and could be killed by a tiger, instantly became sore, his back hurt, and his thighs cramped...... His face is as pale as paper, and he is indistinguishable from a seriously ill person!
The two apprentices are very smart, they know what the master is going to do, so they naturally have to cooperate well, Hao Zhao dragged the master onto the soft couch, carefully covered the wolf skin, and stood next to him with half a bowl of herbal tea, with a posture of serving the master and tasting the decoction!
Deng Ai rubbed his eyes vigorously, making them red and swollen, and gave himself a fist to his nose, tears flowed out instantly, and then showed a pitiful expression, as if the master was about to travel west!
The three masters, closely cooperate, superb acting skills, people come to deceive people, ghosts come to deceive ghosts, even if Da Luo Jinxian comes, open your eyes to the world...... Then the original form is revealed, Xiao Yi is not a six-eared macaque, and he has no ability to fake and real!
"The lower official came to convey the order of the Prime Minister...... Is Da Sima Gui violating the peace? ”
"The tutor transported grain and grass day and night, and his blood was excessively consumed, and he suffered from the disease of water and soil adaptation, so he was seriously ill and bedridden!"
"Master! --My poor master! ”
…………………………
After a while, Mao Jue boarded the ship, walked into the cabin, bowed and saluted, and was about to explain his intention, when he was suddenly taken aback!
Hao Zhao took the opportunity to explain that since the army went south, there have been many people who have not adapted to the water and soil, and some people even vomited and died, and Deng Ai cried loudly, setting off a sad atmosphere!
Since ancient times, there is no reason to let patients go into battle, Xiao Yi is half dead, how can he fight on the battlefield, Mao Jue's words behind him were instantly unspeakable...... But when I think about it, I feel that something is wrong!
Recently, the supply of grain, grass, and ordnance has been timely, and there has never been a shortage, and the grain officers who came from the rear also said that Da Sima was energetic and well-organized, so how could he suddenly get sick?
"Brush! --Brush! ”
Mao Jue is also a wise man, who has served as an official of the Prime Minister's Mansion-Dong Cao Peng, and is specifically responsible for selecting talents.
On the bulkhead hangs the map of the nine counties of Jingzhou, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, vigorous and powerful handwriting, at first glance it is Xiao Yi's handwriting, and the pen is not long in time, and the ink has not dried......
A pair of Yunjin combat boots on the ground, there are traces of dew wetting on them, and there is a lot of dirt under the boots, which is the result of walking back and forth on the water-heavy plank......
There are also scrolls unfolded on the table, and the smell of grilled fish and sake in the cabin...... There are all kinds of signs that Xiao Yilong is fierce, can eat and sleep, and has no physical problems at all, just moaning without illness...... But it's pretending to be like it!
In fact, with Xiao Yi's wisdom, if you really want to pretend to be sick, everything can be done seamlessly, and the reason why there are a few flaws left is to tell Mao Jue clearly: "I'm just pretending to be sick, if you want to cure this 'disease', it depends on whether your 'medicine' is enough!"
Everyone is a smart person, since they understand each other's thoughts, the next is to bargain, and before Mao Jue left, he talked to Cao Cao privately and got a lot of money.
"The soldiers in front have fought bloodily, they have conquered Wancheng, and they are about to drink Ma Han water, but Liu Bei is a hero in troubled times, and there are Kong Ming and Xu Shu as assistants, and our army has suffered a few small losses, and the casualties are also quite heavy!
The civil and military ministers all believed that only when Da Sima went into battle to command the troops could he defeat the enemy and pacify Jingzhou, so he sent his subordinates to urge, hoping that for the sake of thousands of soldiers, he should not refuse............"
"Ahem! …… My master is seriously ill and it is difficult to speak, so how can he lead the troops to fight, so please be smart! ”
"The Prime Minister has ordered, as long as Da Sima Ken makes a move, he can lead the front army alone and make a decisive decision, the Chinese army camp is not remotely controlled, grain, grass, and ordnance are provided first, and the spoils of war are distributed by themselves!"
"Ahem! …… My master is seriously ill and can't go into battle! ”
"The Prime Minister also said that the great Sima has worked hard and is unmatched, and after pacifying the south, he will increase the fiefdom of two more counties, and his descendants will be hereditary, and he will rest with the country!"
"Ahem! …… My master is seriously ill and really can't go into battle! ”
……………………
Mao Jue agitated his lips and tongue, and constantly put forward various conditions, one is better than the other, Xiao Yi just coughed dryly, and he was not satisfied with these flashy conditions at all, he had to come with something affordable!
In desperation, Mao Jue took out a note from his arms and slowly unfolded it, with ten ink characters on it, which were written by Cao Cao himself: The master of the Southern Expedition is the lord of Jingzhou!
This is the price that Cao Cao opened, as long as Xiao Yi went into battle to lead the troops, defeated Liu Bei and Liu Biao, and captured the land of the nine counties of Jingzhou, he would be named Jingzhou Mu!
Jingzhou is thousands of miles in radius, with a population of more than 2 million, and is the land of fish and rice, in terms of comprehensive strength, second only to Jizhou, which is the first in the world, has the capital to be the king and hegemon, and the princes of all walks of life in the world, who doesn't want to be in the bag?
"Uh-huh! …… This is the grain and grass inventory roster, as well as the scheduling arrangements of ships and convoys, and I hope that the servants will be carefully operated to ensure that the army has no worries! ”
"The lower officials must do their best to ensure the smooth transportation of grain and grass, and I hope that Da Sima will take care of his noble body and go to the front of the battle as soon as possible!"
Feeling that the price code was enough, Xiao Yi looked at the two disciples, Hao Zhao and Deng Ai brought a large stack of documents, handed over the logistics work, and paid attention to the matters!
Mao Jue nodded again and again, remembered with his heart, and after saluting with his fists, he left with a large number of papers, and was busy taking over the affairs of the rear, maintaining the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops, this burden is not light!
"Brush! --Let's go! ”
Xiao Yi closed his eyes slightly, rested for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he became fierce again, and then jumped up and stared at the map of Jingzhou next to him......
The battle situation in Jingzhou is extremely chaotic, with Liu Bei gradually rising, like a golden carp, which can turn into a dragon when encountering wind and clouds, and Sun Quan, Zhang Lu, and Liu Zhang are eyeing each other, ready to get a piece of fat, and there is a treacherous Cao Cao, who may not be true to his word......
To open the situation, it is necessary to find a breakthrough point, and this place............ It is Xiangyang City, and those who can get Xiangyang City are the lords of Jingzhou!
"Order the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, immediately pull out the camp and go south, travel at night and day, conceal their whereabouts, and prepare ten days' rations, ready for a long-distance attack!"
"Danyang Soldiers, Trap Camp, Digger Army, Student Army, Hell Devil Battalion...... They followed south in turn, preparing for a vicious battle, and this time the enemies were extraordinary: Kong Ming, Xu Shu, and Zhou Gongjin...... And the phoenix!
Just when Xiao Yi returned to the battle formation and was ready to show his skills, the men and horses led by Liu Bei and Xu Shu were like an arrow off the string, heading straight for the destination...... Xiangyang City!
