Nothing is more irritating than not being able to attack for a long time.

Sun Ce dispatched 100,000 Eastern Wu soldiers and fought for more than two months, but he was stunned that he did not defeat Jiangxia. He wanted to attack the four southern counties of Jingzhou, but there were also 50,000 Jingzhou soldiers in Changsha, and Jiangxia's Jingzhou soldiers were likely to cut off his back route.

When the news of the Qin army's occupation of Jiangling came, Sun Ce became even more agitated.

However, the long period of not being able to take it for a long time is irritating, but it is still safe in itself.

In war, nothing is more dangerous than going deep alone.

Liu Bei is now in such a dangerous situation.

And Zhuge Liang, after learning of the loss of Jiangling, began to persuade Liu Bei to withdraw to Shuzhong. Because he knew that there was no one in the world who could resist Qin Feng for the time being, it was better to retreat from Jingzhou. According to Qin Feng's temper, it is bound to get all the counties of Jingzhou.

In this way, Qin Feng will inevitably break with Sun Ce.

And after such a thing happened, Liu Bei could unite Cao Cao in Yongliang, Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and even Lü Bu in Hanzhong to form an alliance against Qin again. The four routes will send troops to the Central Plains, and in the melee, there will be opportunities. Seize the opportunity, you can achieve hegemony.

However, Liu Bei was unwilling to give up lightly, because he still had an army of 260,000 and had enough money and food. He asked Zhuge Liang vaguely, couldn't he think of a way to defeat Qin Zijin?

Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was resolute, so he naturally couldn't admit it, so he came up with another idea, but he could temporarily withdraw from Yiling. First, it comes out of the predicament of being alone, second, it can echo with the four counties in the south of Jingzhou, and third, it is Yizhou Yongan behind it, and it is not convenient to run.

Fourth, the terrain of Yiling is good. There are mountains and rivers, suitable for use.

Thereupon. Liu Bei quickly led his troops to retreat.

Yiling is in the southwest of Xiangyang, and Gangneung is due south. Therefore, Liu Bei retreated very quickly and resolutely. Xu Shu's soldiers and horses did not have time to contain them, so Liu Bei returned to Yiling along the way.

At the beginning of July, Qin Feng ordered Xu Shu to lead Ma Chao, Pang De and other generals to garrison the northern part of Jingzhou, which he had just obtained. He personally led an army of 370,000 to Yiling, and the camp stretched for more than 100 miles, aiming to fight to the death with the Shu army.

The Shu army was in the northwest of Yiling, and the Qin army was in the southeast of Yiling. The more than 700,000 troops on both sides of the river stretched on both sides of the river, and it was not trivial for them to be fully operational. So the confrontation for the time being.

Shu army side.

There are a total of forty-three camps, including mountain villages, deer villages, and water villages.

On this day, Zhuge Liang was outside the Dazhai in this formation, looking at the surrounding geographical environment from afar.

Now that July is scorching hot, the surrounding sergeants can't help but mutter, "It would be great if I could go into the dense forest to escape the heat." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his fan. I looked at the sun in the sky, wiped my sweat, and got a little. Then he shook the feather fan and returned to the camp in contemplation.

On the move. An officer approached and whispered, "This is ......, Zhang Song, Meng Da, Li Yan and others." ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes showed disdain. The feather fan shook faster, and strode towards Liu Bei's handsome tent.

When he walked into the tent. Meng Da and the others hurriedly saluted, and he also returned the salute.

Liu Bei stood up very happily. said: "Kong Ming, Zhang Song just said that there is a chance to obtain the four counties of Jingzhou. If you can get it, our army will have a foundation in Jingzhou, what do you think? ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and chuckled: "This idea is a good ....... ”

"That's great!" Liu Bei was overjoyed.

Zhang Song and others were also happy, and said that if they succeeded, they would be reused. Our colleagues in Shu are united in the same spirit, and they will be able to suppress this Zhuge Liang.

It turned out that Liu Bei's subordinates were divided into two factions, one was the civil and military of the original slave, and the other was the civil and military of Shuzhong. His current soldiers and horses are all Shu troops, and Shu Chinese martial arts should have a considerable status. However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are ranked first in the army, even if they are the brothers of the lord. But the young Zhuge Liang's status is also above everyone, which makes Shu Chinese Wu very dissatisfied.

Therefore, they want to open up another battlefield so that they can take the initiative by making meritorious contributions.

How could Zhuge Liang not see that just when everyone was very happy, a basin of cold water was splashed out, and said: "Qin Zijin has been fighting in the south and north for more than ten years, and he has conquered everything and is invincible. Now he has an army of almost 400,000, while our army is more than 200,000. If you divide your troops to take the four counties of Jingzhou, if you are in a hurry and are copied by Qin Zijin, what should you do? ”

"Makes sense!" Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, from this heart, he still trusted Zhuge Liang more.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, glanced at Zhang Song and the others, and his contempt was overflowing.

Meng Da was furious, and said in his heart that the shape of the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can he talk about soldiers on paper, I also said that the enemy has 3,000 soldiers and horses, and secretly Chen Cang went to take Chengdu, which is really alarmist!

He was about to say something to refute, but was secretly stopped by Zhang Song and Li Yan. The three of them quit and quit the big tent.

As soon as Meng Da returned to his tent, he shouted dissatisfiedly, "What are you pulling me for?" The Shu army is not as strong as the Qin army, and it is the only way to kill yourself by confronting Qin Zijin head-on in Yiling. We can completely divide our troops, and after mobilizing the Qin army, we will look for opportunities to ....... ”

Zhang Song touched his beard and said with a smile: "Zhuge Liang is young and crazy, and let him go, but if he fails, it is the time for me to recover." ”

Inside the tent.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Thanks to the reminder of the military advisor, otherwise I would have almost delayed the big event." ”

Zhuge Liangxin said that those people in Shu wanted to seize power, and he said on his face: "Zhang Song and others are sincere in their meritorious service, and their hearts are commendable, but they look at things a little one-sidedly. When he said this, he said euphemistically: "My lord, there are Shu troops on the left and right, and I'm afraid that sometimes it's not good to give orders to them." ”

Liu Bei is a fine man, how can he not hear it, he originally valued Zhuge Liang the most, so he said: "The military advisor can take my seal ribbon and arrow, and be fully responsible for everything in the army." ”

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and thanked him.

In the coming day, Zhuge Liang took Liu Bei's seal and ordered the arrow to raise the account and convene civil and military discussions.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zang Ba were the first to arrive and saluted respectfully.

Zhang Song, Meng Da, Li Yan and other Shu Chinese martial artists, when they saw the seal and arrow on Zhuge Liang's case, immediately understood. After glancing at each other, they reluctantly saluted.

Zhuge Liang sat high in the hall. Shaking the feather fan lightly, he said, "The Lord ordered my governor to break the Qin." The army has military law. Obey each of you. Violators of military law are ruthless, do not regret it. "Finished. He glanced at the people in Shuzhong.

The people in Shu were silent.

Meng Da was furious, and said in his heart that this is clearly giving the lord eye medicine, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Shu are loyal to the lord, and you yellow-mouthed child is cheap and obedient. He immediately said: "Now, there are more than 300,000 Qin troops, and they are thirty miles away. Is there a good strategy for military advisors? Repel the Qin army and reassure the Lord's heart. ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Sooner or later, you must capture that Qin Zijin alive, and you will go back to your own village and stick to it." Without my orders, you should not go into battle lightly. ”

The people in Shu scoffed and retreated with a secret smile.

Zhang Song said to Shu Chinese martial arts: "The Lord doesn't need me to wait, just believe in that Zhuge Kongming, this battle is over!" Look at his appearance just now, as if he had already caught Qin Zijin. ”

Meng Da also said: "A certain asked him in words just now, there is no strategy, just stick to it, how can you break Qin by sticking to it?" ”

Next. Zhuge Liang went around the wilderness again, and after looking at the trees and vegetation in the dense forest, he gained something again. After returning, he passed down the order, and the generals guarded the pass. Do not take the enemy lightly.

Zhuge Liang's subordinates are all Shu soldiers, and with veterans like Meng Da, who will listen to him. The Shu generals all wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. He often went out of the village to fight skirmishes with the Qin army.

In this way, another day passed, and Zhuge Liang rose again. This time, he was angry. The feather fan pointed at the Shu generals under the hall, and said angrily: "This army division is ordered by the lord, the governor of the army, and it was repeatedly emphasized yesterday that you just hold on. But you are disobedient! ”

Meng Da was very dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang's style, and said: "When we were in Shuzhong, we begged the Yellow Turban to conquer the Southern Barbarians, and after hundreds of battles. They are all people who are stubborn and stubborn, born and die. Today, I am fortunate to meet the master, and it is the time to fight bravely to kill the enemy and serve the lord.

"Now that the lord has appointed the military division governor for the war, he should make a plan as soon as possible, allocate all kinds of military horses, and march separately in order to achieve great things. And the military advisor only ordered to hold on without fighting, is it waiting for Qin Zijin to die by himself? We are by no means some people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, so why should we fall into our spirit? ”

Zhang Fei was furious and said, "Meng Da, you actually said that the military advisor is greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

Guan Yu was taken aback and hurriedly pulled Zhang Fei back.

The generals in Shu saw that Liu Bei's old subordinates echoed Zhuge Liang, and said in unison: "What General Meng Da said is very true, we are willing to fight to the death, and we will never be turtles with shrunken heads!" ”

There was a shouting in the big tent.

Zhuge Liang was startled, and said in his heart that you are going to drive me off the stage. So, his face changed, he pulled out Liu Bei's sword with a bang, chopped up the case with a sigh, and said sharply: "Although I am a scholar, I am entrusted with a heavy task by the lord today." I already had a plan in my heart, so I said that I would endure humiliation and bear the burden without fighting. Each of you guards your own village, guards the dangerous place, and does not act rashly, and if you violate the order, you will not be spared! ”

The generals in Shu were not afraid of Zhuge Liang, but only afraid of the sword in his hand, so they retreated angrily.

On the other hand, the Qin army side.

Qin Feng occupies Yidao, and since then along the river to the vicinity of Yizhong Chuankou, more than 100 miles in succession, more than 50 camps before and after. During the day, the flag covers the sky and the sun, and at night, the fire shines brightly, and the army is extremely powerful.

The words of the people in Shu who were not satisfied with Zhuge Liang were circulated.

Qin Feng heard that Liu Bei had retreated behind the scenes and Zhuge Liang was in charge of the overall situation, so he said to the military master Jia Xu: "Zhuge Liang is still young, this is clearly suppressing Shu Chinese martial arts. ”

Jia Xu just smiled and said seriously: "Lord, maybe Liu Bei did it intentionally." ”

Qin Feng nodded after thinking about it, and said in his heart that Jia Xu's words also made sense.

Jia Xu said again: "Although Zhuge Liang is young, he is young and talented, and he has a deep strategy. The previous fires were all tricks of this person. ”

"Fire?" Qin Feng's eyes flashed, and then his face changed greatly, and he said angrily: "The erection trick, Xuzhou lost my generals, and almost even his own appearance was almost killed on the spot." Come here, send the order down, march into the army in the coming day, go to the Shu camp, and avenge the revenge at that time! ”

Jia Xu was taken aback, how could he say this, why he was suddenly about to recklessly send troops. He was very anxious, thinking that the lord must have remembered the hatred of raising Zhuge Liang's wolf cub back then, and he couldn't hold back his breath. immediately persuaded: "The lord is angry, Zhuge Liang is a scheming person, and he can't underestimate the enemy." ”

Qin Feng sneered and said, "This prime minister has been using soldiers for many years, and he has fought hundreds of battles, how can he not be as good as the yellow-mouthed boy who has just fought a few battles?" Tomorrow's march, no need to say more! ”

"This ......!" Jia Xu saw that Qin Feng was resolute, so he had no choice but to arrange. (To be continued......)
