As soon as Zhuge Liang's words came out, the audience immediately became discussed, and Zhou Yu couldn't help but look up, looking at Zhuge Liang's serious appearance, and couldn't help but nod silently in his heart. Although Zhou Yu had mentioned Yiling after the end of the Nanjun Battle before, the terrain of Yiling was a land of mountains and forests, and its terrain was bumpy and steep and undulating, which was not suitable for large armies to fight at all.

It's just that Zhou Yu didn't expect that after he mentioned Yiling, Zhuge Liang actually took it to heart and deliberately studied Yiling. And according to the special topography of Yiling, with a hint of layout, I have to say that Zhuge Liang is also a close-knit figure.

At the end, Lu Meng, who was only listening to the side, said to Zhuge Liang: "Then Prime Minister Zhuge thinks, when should we go to the land of Yiling and fight with the Zhao army?" And what did Prime Minister Zhuge mean by the last battle? ”

Zhuge Liang didn't think about it, so he said: "What Zhuge Liang means is that the other army can completely abandon Wuling County and Changsha County, directly use the art of war to raze the tomb, and lure the Zhao army to fight. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked again, and no one could have imagined that Zhuge Liang would propose to abandon Wuling County and Changsha County at this time. You must know that Jingzhou is an important place in the state of Wu, and now that the army of Zhao is coming, Nanyang County, Lingling County and Guiyang County have been occupied by the Zhao army. Even the land of Nanjun has been occupied by the Zhao army, if Wuling County and Changsha County are left behind. In the whole of Jingzhou, there is only Jiangxia County, and Jingzhou is equivalent to being taken away by the Zhao army.

In the face of Zhuge Liang's words, Ling Tong, the general of the Wu army, was immediately furious and said: "You guy, Jingzhou is the land of my Wu country, not the land of your Shu country." You said that you will send it to Zhao Jun, do you think that these two counties are as simple as selling vegetables in the market? ”

As he spoke, Ling Tong couldn't help but want to run towards Zhuge Liang, but Jiang Wei beside Zhuge Liang immediately stopped him and looked at Ling Tong angrily. I believe that as long as Ling Tong dares to make a move, then Jiang Wei will not hesitate to make a similar move, and the two of them will definitely not be easily stopped by others. Moreover, at this juncture, the situation can be described as very critical, and if there is a break here, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Just when Ling Tong and Jiang Wei wanted to make a move, the people around them stepped forward to persuade them, and even Zhou Yu said: "Now that the big war is imminent, the results are not optimistic, you are still in the mood to fight yourself here, if you let Zhao Jun's men and horses know, wouldn't they laugh off their big teeth." ”

Immediately, Zhou Yu turned to Zhuge Liang, who was calm and comfortable on the side, and asked: "Since Prime Minister Zhuge opened his mouth to say this, there must be some reason, it is better for Prime Minister Zhuge to inform him as soon as possible, and to prevent everyone from being confused and misunderstanding each other." ”

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, he saw Zhuge Liang glance at everyone present, and then slowly said: "Now Jingzhou has been attacked by the Zhao army before and after, and we and the other three armies are in the middle of it, and there is a risk of being attacked from the front and back. If our three armies want to hold on to Wuling County, Changsha County, and Jiangxia County, it will inevitably be necessary to divide all the armies into three routes to resist the offensive of the Zhao army. ”

But in other words, even if we do our best, we may not be able to hold on. Now the Zhao army is distributed in the southern county and Nanyang county in the north of Jingzhou and the Lingling county and Guiyang county in the south of Jingzhou, we are fully defending Wuling County, then the Zhao army's men and horses can slowly attack Changsha County until Changsha County is broken. ”

"Once Changsha County is breached, then the Zhao army will completely cut off the passage between Wuling County and Jiangxia County. At that time, the entire Wuling County was completely besieged by the Zhao army, and we, who were in Wuling County, thought that we had become the results of the Zhao army's slow devouring. Even if Governor Zhou, Wu Jun, who stayed in Jiangxia County, wanted to come to the rescue, I am afraid that the shrewd Zhao Jun would definitely not give him any chance. As long as Lord Lu Su dares to lead the men and horses to leave from Jiangxia County, then the Zhao army has only two methods, one is to directly ambush and devour Lord Lu Su's soldiers and horses. ”

"Then it is to directly let Lord Lu Su come in, and then occupy Jiangxia County, cutting off all connections between Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and the losses will be even heavier. On the other hand, if we defend Changsha County, then the Zhao army can attack Wuling County up and down, but we, who are guarding Changsha County, do not dare to send troops to rescue. As long as the troops are dispatched, they will inevitably be attacked by the Zhao army, and the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

"When the Zhao army is finished, it will be slowly recommended, and the situation of encirclement will strike again, trapping us in Changsha County and Jiangxia County. Judging from the topography of Changsha County, it is conducive to the offensive of the Zhao army, but not to our army. ”

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, the people present were silent, and even Zhou Yu was fascinated. Obviously, because what Zhuge Liang said is reasonable, if the three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu really insist on guarding Wuling County and Changsha County this time, I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before they are eliminated. However, is it really the only way for Wei, Shu and Wu Sanjun to give up Wuling County and Changsha County?

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Zhou Tai, the general of Wu Guozhi, asked aloud instead of Zhou Yu: "Prime Minister Zhuge intends to fight with the Zhao army in the land of Yiling, but he doesn't know that the prime minister also said just now that the terrain of the land of Yiling is dangerous, and it is not easy for the army to walk. If we Wei, Shu and Wu three armies, give up Wuling County and Changsha County at this moment, and give them to Zhao Jun in vain. The army of the Zhao State, if we heard that we had fled from the land of Yiling, would inevitably pursue it with all its might. When the time comes, the land of Yiling will be the first, and our march speed is slow, and if we are caught up by the Zhao army, won't it be the consequence that we will find our own death. ”

In the face of Zhou Tai's question, everyone also pricked up their ears one after another, wanting to listen to Zhuge Liang's explanation. However, looking at Zhuge Liang's expression again, he was obviously not troubled by this problem, it seems that Zhuge Liang has already had a countermeasure. I only heard Zhuge Liang speak: "If Governor Zhou gives a death order, from now on, he will directly order the defenders in Wuling County and Changsha County to withdraw from the defense of the two counties, and all of them will come here overnight to converge." As soon as the sergeants of Wuling County and Changsha County arrived, the army immediately retreated and went from Yidao to the hinterland of Yiling. ”

"And Zhao Jun, who is in Nanjun at this moment, if he sees the two forces of our army's Wuling County and Changsha County, and suddenly come to converge, his heart must be dignified. However, if they saw our army and suddenly withdrew and went to Yidao, then even if the Zhao army was curious, they would not dare to pursue it directly. In addition, the Zhao army, which is in Lingling County and Guiyang County, must have been eyeing Wuling County and Changsha County, if Zhuge Liang is not mistaken, they should choose to attack Changsha County first. ”

"The reason why we chose to attack Changsha County first is to avoid the edge of our three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu, or to take advantage of the fact that our three armies are fighting with Zhao Yu's main army. Waiting for the opportunity to capture other cities, once they take Changsha County, then they will be cut off, and our retreat, we may be attacked at any time. At that time, even if we want to evacuate from Yidao, it will be too late, and the enemy will inevitably bite and pursue all the way. ”

"But if we leave Wuling County and Changsha County behind, then the Zhao army of Lingling County and Guiyang County will be puzzled and march slowly. When Zhao Jun found out that we had really left Wuling County and Changsha County and fled, they would definitely be overjoyed, and their first reaction at that time would definitely not be to pursue us. Instead, they sent troops to Wuling County and Changsha County to station, while appeasing the people, and at the same time changing the city gate to defend the military, so as to prevent fraud. In this way, the Zhao army, which had more than 100,000 troops, used all its troops, distributed in Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County and Changsha County. ”

"Even if there is, there is nothing to be afraid of with that little man, and our three armies have already retreated to Yidao at this moment. Even if the Zhao army came to chase after us, we had to follow us and slowly enter the Yi Road, so that we could use the terrain of Yiling to counterattack the Zhao army. even lured Zhao Jun here and wiped him out. ”

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, everyone present was in a state of surprise, and at this moment, Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, the governor of the Wu army, also stood up and clapped his hands and praised: "It is worthy of Prime Minister Zhuge , this plan is really wonderful." Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's analysis just now is very clear, with our current strength, if we want to divide our troops to resist the two armies of the Zhao army, it will undoubtedly be a dead end. ”

"Not to mention, in the face of the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Zhao Yu's personal campaign, can we resist it. Just behind Lu Xun's 100,000 troops, we must take out more than 50,000 soldiers and horses to confront it, if the number of troops is small, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist Lu Xun's attack at all, after all, after these battles, we can also see that although Lu Xun is young, his intelligence alone is outstanding, and he is not inferior to several other advisers of Zhao State. ”

"Alone, if you act according to Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's strategy. As long as we act closely, we must give Zhao Jun the illusion that Zhao Jun will mistakenly think that we are cowardly and flee. First, it can disperse Lu Xun's 100,000 troops behind him, and second, it can also lure the Zhao army to pursue and follow us into the land of Yiling. ”

"Although the terrain of Yiling Land is complex, its landform is huge, and it is an ancient forest. Even if the million-strong army is hidden in it, it is simply like an ethereal, as long as we make good use of the terrain of Yiling, we can defeat the Zhao army in one fell swoop. ”

Since even Zhou Yu, the governor of Wu State, stood up in favor of the words of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu State. The other generals of Shu and Wu naturally won't say anything, just because everyone thinks that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's words are very reasonable, and it seems to be the only feasible way at present.
