Liu Bei was surprised, and he didn't ask much on the way, and after returning to the camp, he immediately organized a military meeting to discuss how to break through the stalemate in Nanjun.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the war has dragged on for a long time, and the heat is scorching, and many soldiers are suffering from fever, so I don't know what is the best way to break the enemy?" Liu Bei Siwang asked.

Cheng Ji waited for this moment, and said impatiently: "Holy Lord, the minister has a plan, and he can win Jiangdong!" ”

"Let's hear it." Liu Bei said, in fact, he didn't have much hope, most of Cheng Ji's previous ideas had little effect.

"Today, Jiangdong poured a large army, entrenched in Nanjun, and the rear was empty. We can separate our forces and camp at the foot of Yiling Mountain all the way, and the time is right to attack the north gate of Nanjun; The other road goes to the riverbank valley, looking at the south of Nanjun, and can also take the opportunity to go south along the waterway, detour to attack Jiangdong Chaisang, Jianye all over the country. Cheng Ji raised his head and said in one breath, this is the method of arranging troops he comprehended on the map of Mo Qianxun.

Liu Bei couldn't help but glance at Cheng Ji, it sounded really clever, and just wanted to express his opinion, Chen Zhen said bluntly: "This matter is not possible!" ”

"What is the high opinion of filial piety?" Liu Bei asked.

"Back to the saint, the minister has no insight, but Prime Minister Zhuge once said that the troops should not be divided." Chen Zhen said.

"The prime minister is in the DPRK and China, and he does not know the military situation on the front line, so his words must be biased." Cheng Ji argued.

Liu Bei nodded, feeling that Cheng Ji was reasonable, although Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness cannot be denied, but in the end, it is far away, and it may not be correct to look at the problem.

"Holy Lord, my army is in a hot place, and sooner or later it will retreat without a fight, and it will be able to escape the heat in the valley." Cheng Ji went to Yiling, he was very clever, and he realized one more thing and spoke again.

At this time, Liu Bei, because of the hot weather and his powerful and domineering outfit, sweated a lot on his body, and he had to cover his prickly heat, which was very uncomfortable. The summer retreat in the forest is very exciting, and in the end, Liu Bei nodded and said: "According to what Cheng Junshi said, the soldiers will divide into two roads, enter the valley to escape the summer, and then Tunan County." ”

"The saint is wise and benevolent, there is no ancient, and there is no one after!" Cheng Ji's strategy was adopted, and he excitedly put on a high hat for Liu Bei, which made it even hotter.

"Saint, the troops are scattered, Lu Xun is afraid of a sneak attack!" Chen Zhen was full of worries and dared to speak.

Liu Bei was not annoyed, waved his hand and said, "I have led the troops for several years, how can I not guard against it?" The joint camp of the army can be stationed, and if something happens, it can be gathered in one place immediately. ”

"Holy Lord, Prime Minister Zhuge is like a god, and his words must not be believed. If you follow this plan, it is better to give the prime minister a letter first, and then make a decision. Chen Zhen took the risk and reminded him tremblingly.

Liu Bei's face immediately became gloomy, and everyone was silent, knowing that Chen Zhen's words were taboo, and Zhuge Liang was harmed in disguise. blatantly exalted Zhuge Liang, who is this to belittle?

"I already know the meaning of filial piety, and there is no need to say more!" Liu Bei snorted coldly. Seeing that Liu Bei had made up his mind, Chen Zhen had no choice but to give up, but in the hot weather, he felt a chill down his spine.

Subsequently, Liu Bei's army dispersed, and there was a military camp every few miles, and beacon towers were set up to transmit signals.

The army was stationed in a semi-circular form, surrounding Nanjun and stretching for hundreds of miles. Most of the soldiers went into the woods, which were highly concealed, and were cool and comfortable by the mountains and rivers, and from time to time they could jump into the clear stream to take a cool bath.

Cheng Ji thought that half of the success of the plan was successful, and he worked tirelessly every day to settle in the army, feeling that it was possible to replace Zhuge Liang and become the new prime minister in the future.

The change in Liu Bei's troop deployment, of course, did not escape the Jiangdong generals in Nanjun, who had not fought for a long time, and the generals couldn't sit still, and their hands were itching.

"Governor Dadu, now that Liu Bei's forces are scattered, we can break through from the west and reoccupy Dangyang and other places." Han Dangjin said.

"No, Liu Bei camped like this, echoing each other, if we go out of the city lightly, it will be the opposite!" Lu Xun waved his hand to disagree.

"Metropolitan Governor, Liu Bei camped along the river, I am afraid that there is a detour to take Jiangdong." Pan Zhang said.

"It's okay, there are still soldiers and horses stationed in Jiangxia City, and if they want to go east, they will not be able to do so." Lu Xun said.

"The weather is hot, there is not much food and grass, and in the long run, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to us." As the Taishou of Nanjun, Zhuge Jin thought of the most practical problems, hundreds of thousands of troops, and the consumption was very huge.

"Brother Ziyu, you can borrow more food from the people." Lu Xun said lightly.

"The people don't have much food to store!" Zhuge Jin suppressed the anger and said in a muffled voice.

"Then buy it at a high price."

"This ......" Zhuge Jin's face changed color with anger, "The price of grain is already high during the war, and I am afraid that some businessmen will take the opportunity to raise prices, and the prices will be unstable, and the city will be in chaos and danger." ”

"It's just for a while, it's good to be appeased, and when the war is over, it will naturally be restored."

No matter how everyone persuaded him, Lu Xun made up his mind, stood still, and waited and watched. The soldiers complained a lot, and when they returned to that old topic, they still felt that Lu Xun was essentially a scholar, and he was too cautious and conservative in using soldiers, and he was really not the material to be a metropolitan governor.

Lu Xun was calm on the surface, but the pressure in his heart was also huge, Liu Bei was about to move, the military rations were urgent, and the piles and piles were like boiling them on fire. Lu Xun went to the city tower every day to observe the enemy's situation, and often sat until dawn at night, thinking hard about how to defeat Liu Bei in one fell swoop.

But said that Sima Yi in Wancheng finally waited for Hu Zhao, who he had been dreaming of, this person was five short figures, with a pair of yellow eyes, shining brightly, and his skin was extraordinarily fair, as if there was no blood at all, and a few shallow strands of beard were yellow.

"Brother, Zhongda has finally looked forward to you." Sima Yi bowed and saluted.

"Zhongda, I didn't want to help you, but my fate is not over." Hu Zhao said unceremoniously.

"My brother has a life-saving grace for Zhongda, and this time he came to help again, which is really Zhongda's great luck!" Sima Yi said.

"Everyone has their lives, I saved you the first time, just because I ......" Hu Zhao said, stopping the topic and not breaking it.

Between Sima Yi and Hu Zhao, there is a secret story that is not known to outsiders, the two were friends in the same village, Sima Yi had the ambition to serve the country, and Hu Zhao painstakingly studied the art of witchcraft, and wanted to find another way to break the way of life and death.

The two have different ambitions and should not have intersected, but Hu Zhao was exceptionally good to Sima Yi, once Sima Yi was captured by bandits and almost died, it was Hu Zhao who helped him to get out of danger.

Sima Yi always remembered this kindness, and when he wanted to repay Hu Zhao, this person was nowhere to be found. Sima Yi knows Hu Zhao's ability very well and can communicate with ghosts and gods, of course, if the fierce opponent he faces is not Wang Baoyu, he may not use a dangerous character like Hu Zhao.
