Chapter 698: Kong Ming vs Sima Yi and Zhou Yu (2)
Now Jinyang is a lot of distance from Jingzhou, even if he wants to support immediately, I'm afraid it's too late.
Therefore, in the front, he can only rely on Zhuge Liang to deal with Sima Yi, and if he can, Liu Wei plans to plan it.
Regardless of whether Sima Yi and Zhou Yu really want to take Jiaozhou, they all want to take this opportunity to take Jingzhou.
Now at this time, if I can unify the world as soon as possible, and then recuperate for a period of time, I may be able to expand and expand the army.
"Tell Kong Ming to act when he sees the opportunity, if he can, he will plan and take Jingzhou." Liu Wei finally spoke.
"Yes." Xu Shu answered, and then left the hall.
The next day, Zhao Yun led the men and horses to go immediately in the direction of Xiangyang, Jingzhou.
……
"Zhongda, now that we are already marching into Jiaozhou in two ways, do you think this Zhuge Liang will be tricked?"
In the big tent of the march, Cao Chun looked at Sima Yi and asked, he has seen Sima Yi's power in the past few days.
Therefore, he also believed what Cao Cao said, and he already respected those literati and celebrities.
"Does this have any effect on us, if he is tricked, we can naturally take this opportunity to severely damage the Han army."
"In this way, Liu Wei's prestige will naturally be diminished at that time." Sima Yi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, not caring at all.
"If he doesn't get the plan, let's take Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou's territory is not small, as long as it is good to govern, why not?"
Cao Chun also patted his head when he heard this, "Yes, that's it, look at my head, you are still good readers." ”
"Command to go down and speed up the march." Sima Yi looked at Cao Chun's appearance, then smiled and said.
As long as the speed of the march is accelerated, when the time comes, Zhuge Liang can be forced to make a choice faster.
At that time, no matter what the result is, the speed of the soldiers will be greater for themselves.
On the other side, the same conversation almost appeared in Zhou Yu's big tent all the way.
Then both armies suddenly increased the speed of their marches, as if they had said yes.
"Military advisor, this Sima Yi and Zhou Yu's two armies are hurrying towards Jiaozhou, so what should we do, it seems that they really want to take Jiaozhou."
After Tai Shi Ci received the news from the spies, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he immediately looked at Zhuge Liang and said.
"Ziyi, it's good if you think so." Zhuge Liang looked at Tai Shici and said with a smile.
"But it's no wonder you, after all, the initiative is in their hands, and no matter how we advance or retreat, we will fall into their strategy."
The feather fan in Zhuge Liang's hand shook it and said with a smile.
Of course, Zhuge Liang knew the purpose of Sima Yi and Zhou Yu.
I just want to use this to force myself to make a decision quickly, and at the same time, I can't wait for help from other places.
"That's how to do it, this is not going in, and not retreating." Tai Shi Ci sighed and said.
If everything is really as Zhuge Liang said, then all this is tantamount to saying that nothing can be done.
"Ziyi doesn't have to worry, although they have a thorough plan, how can there be a perfect plan in this world, so it is not without solutions."
Zhuge Liang looked at Tai Shici, as if he had seen through what he was thinking, and immediately said with a smile.
"Really? Does the military advisor really have a way? After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Tai Shici's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes, which were originally worried, also came to his senses.
"Yes, it's true." Zhuge Liang looked at Tai Shici and said with a smile.
Now that I'm discussing big things, how can I joke about it?
This Sima Yi and Zhou Yu's strategy was all about calculating their own advances and retreats, but they ignored Shi Xie's attitude.
As long as there is a way to get Shixie to send troops, when the time comes, they will be the ones who can't take care of each other.
Whether it was Jiaozhou Shixie who slowed down their pace of returning to help, or when Jingzhou was fighting, Jiaozhou Shixie suddenly sent troops, which was a blow to them.
In this way, when the time comes, he will be able to take over several other states and counties in Jingzhou.
"Wonderful, the military advisor is borrowing his strength to fight in his own way. They also governed their bodies, they used Jiaozhou as bait, but the military division used Jiaozhou as help. After Tai Shici understood Zhuge Liang's plan, he immediately smiled and said.
"But the military advisor, in this case, then who will go to Jiaozhou to persuade that Shixie?"
"I can only go to this matter in person, if someone else goes, once it fails, it will be useless."
Zhuge Liang looked at Tai Shici and said, although the plan has been formulated, but in the end, it must be able to do it.
And that's the hardest part.
"It's... Strategist, since this is the case, why don't you let me accompany you, and Xiangyang will be handed over to General Xingba. Tai Shi Ci hesitated for a moment and said.
"No, you two have more important things to do."
Zhuge Liang seemed to have expected Tai Shi Ci to say this, so he immediately raised his hand and then refused.
Now although he wants to send an envoy to Jiaozhou, he is already lagging behind Sima Yi and Zhou Yu's army in terms of time.
And this time gap must be made up, otherwise, when you arrive in Jiaozhou, you may see Shixie's head.
Shi Xie will definitely not be the opponent of Sima Yi and Zhou Yu.
Therefore, to drag Sima Yi, they must rely on Tai Shi Ci and Gan Ning.
"The two of you lead the army to cross the Xiangjiang River to Fancheng, but remember to besiege but not attack."
"Then another person is sitting in Xiangyang, and at the same time, he has to send a team of people and horses to go in the direction of Changsha and Lingling County with great fanfare."
"What does the military mean is that the soldiers are divided into two roads and besiege Fancheng, but they are actually taking Changsha and other counties?" Gan Ning also took the initiative to speak at this time.
"No, it's the same siege but not attack, first delay for three days, and look at the movement of the Cao army, if it is to help, the army will retreat, if it does not return, it will be attacked."
Zhuge Liang looked at Tai Shici and Gan Ning and said.
At that time, no matter what choice Sima Yi and they make, it will be beneficial for them to move forward in Jiaozhou.
If they don't return to the army, then if they take these counties in Jingzhou, they will not be far from taking the whole county, so what's the point of going to Jiaozhou.
"Remember, you are like this, no matter what happens, as long as you hold Xiangyang City for twenty days, Your Majesty's reinforcements will inevitably come."
Zhuge Liang watched the two of them speak again.
"Yes, Strategist, but Strategist, you have to take care of yourself along the way." Tai Shi Ci looked at Zhuge Liang and said with his fists clenched.
"Understood." Zhuge Liang smiled, since he dared to go, he would naturally not be unprepared.
Besides, although he didn't let Tai Shici and Gan Ning go together, he would still bring the guards with him.
After all, it is not a short journey to Jiaozhou, and sometimes the king of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult.
Zhuge Liang did not delay, and early the next morning, he led a small team of men and horses to leave Xiangyang.
Gan Ning led 10,000 horses to cross the river directly towards Fancheng.
"My lord, Lord Yang, there is movement, and troops have been sent in the direction of Xiangyang."
On Fancheng's side, after getting the news, Li Dian immediately told Yang Xiu the news.
Now that Sima Yi and they are gone, this Fancheng is in charge of Yang Xiu.
Moreover, at the beginning, Xiangyang was guarded, although Xiangyang was finally lost, but Yang Xiu also guarded it for nearly a month.
Therefore, Yang Xiu's ability is naturally still convincing, and besides, he has already been hit by a halberd before, so naturally he will not let them succeed.
"Sent troops? Are you sure? Yang Xiu glanced at Li Dian and then asked with some caution.
"It's confirmed, and they didn't do anything to hide it, I'm afraid that according to the speed of the army, when it gets dark, they can come to Fancheng." Li Dian said with certainty.
"It seems that after waiting for so many days, this Zhuge Liang finally can't help it." Yang Xiu couldn't help but say with a smile.
"But come to think of it, this is not up to him, it seems that Wolong is just a vain name."
