Long Fei, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others studied for a long time, but still couldn't grasp the key point. They didn't know what Zhuge Liang's plan was. Zhuge Liang's army had been surrounding Jiangyang for two days, but they still refused to attack.
.If Long Fei sends troops, they will immediately turn around and leave. As soon as Long Fei comes back, Zhuge Liang will lead his army to surround Jiangyang. After going back and forth, everyone seems to have reached a tacit understanding, as long as you don't fight, then I won't.
Call over.
Long Fei scratched his head: "If Zhuge Liang doesn't take action, it will be really difficult! We originally expected Jiangyang's soldiers and horses to hold him back and then surround him, but now it seems that we have indeed underestimated Zhuge Liang's ability!"
"This person is too cunning. He has arranged scouts outside our city. They will know if there is any movement in the city!" Xu Shu suddenly stood up: "Should we send someone to clear out all those scouts?"
Guo Jia shook his head: "It's useless. If you kill them, Zhuge Liang will send people again. If the people he sends don't come back, something will happen!"
"Then what should we do? Just watch him stationed at the gate of Jiangyang, annoying people like flies?" Xu Shu sat down again.
Long Fei waved his hand: "Don't argue. There is a solution to everything, but now we don't know what Zhuge Liang is going to do! Once we understand the reason, the solution will come naturally."
"Hey!" Xu Shu sighed: "When we attacked Jingzhou, we didn't think Zhuge Liang was a person. Why did he suddenly become a different person this time?"
Long Fei smiled: "One moment, another moment! The last time we made a surprise attack on Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang was unprepared and was captured by us in an instant. In the end, only the city of Changsha was left, and there was no room for maneuver. This time is different. They were carefully prepared.
, we naturally can’t take advantage of it! Fengxiao, don’t you think so?”
Guo Jia sat aside and remained silent. Long Fei asked him, and he cheered up: "Yes! We all know Brother Shi Yuan's wisdom. Wolong Phoenix Chu, Wolong Zhuge Liang is still above Brother Shi Yuan, so naturally
It’s not easy either, Lord, I intend to withdraw the troops from Jiangyang!”
"Withdraw troops? Why?" Xu Shu asked immediately before Guo Jia could finish his words.
Guo Jiadao: "Jiangyang and Jiangzhou are connected by the same energy, forming a horn. Now that we have occupied Jiangzhou, we want to attack Jiangyang. If we occupy both cities, Zhuge Liang will have no foothold. It is better to conquer Jiangyang."
Give Jiang Yang to him. Now that we have the city, I don't believe Zhuge Liang can run away again?"
"Good idea!" Long Fei slapped his thigh: "That's it! Send the order immediately..."
"My lord, wait a minute!" Xu Shu said: "We have captured this Jiangyang. Isn't it inappropriate to give it to Zhuge Liang like this? My lord, please think again!"
"What's the point? When fighting a war, you have to focus on the overall situation. Don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place!" Long Fei seemed to believe Guo Jia's words and was not at all defensive. As a counselor, the lord believed that he could still do it.
What are you asking for? Guo Jia seemed a little moved.
Xu Huang and Hua Xiong were also very surprised when they received Long Fei's order. They couldn't wait to go to Long Fei to discuss it now. But since the order has been given, it is useless even if it is said. As the saying goes, military orders fall like mountains, and disobeying orders
Since ancient times, there has been no good fruit.
Hua Xiong sighed: "If I had known now, why bother then? I fought tooth and nail to capture Jiangyang, and now I have given it to someone else! What a coward!"
Xu Huang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't complain. Since my lord is doing this, he certainly has his own reasons. Just obey the general's orders. Let's discuss how to withdraw the troops!"
The Dragon Army in Jiangyang retreated under the cover of night. In order to paralyze Liu Bei's army under the city, Xu Huang ordered people to make dozens of straw men and place them where the soldiers used to stand guard. Then he quietly opened the south gate and left. Ling Tong
He led the navy warship and had been waiting there for a long time. He went out to the Yangtze River. He boarded the boat and sailed down the river back to Jiangzhou. By the time Liu Beijun discovered something was wrong on the Jiangyang city wall, Xu Huang and Hua Xiong had already left.
.
Zhuge Liang was walking on the streets of Jiangyang, feeling inexplicably unhappy and even a little discouraged. He never expected that this Long Fei really had some general demeanor and actually let Jiang Yang out. In this way, Jiang Yang
The city suddenly became a burden to him. If he didn't capture it, he would have no way to explain it to Liu Bei and the Yizhou officialdom. If he captured it, he would be trapped and die here, so he could only choose to confront Long Fei.
"Hahaha..." Zhang Fei laughed loudly: "I don't know what Long Fei is thinking? He doesn't even want the good Jiangyang City. It just so happens that this can be considered a victory for us, right?"
Everyone agreed. Zhang Fei and the others laughed loudly, and Ma Liang was a little disgusted: "These ignorant idiots, how can they not be defeated by Liu Bei?"
Sun Qian said calmly: "That's fine. We have been sending troops for nearly a month and there has been no progress at all. Now we can take over Jiangyang and we have an explanation!"
Zhuge Liang just walked with his head bent. Ma Liang and Sun Qian kept arguing behind him until they entered the Jiangyang Yamen and were shocked by the scene in front of them. Xu Huang and Hua Xiong left, but the entire Yamen was looted.
As long as it could be moved, nothing was left behind. In the huge hall, there were only a few rotten wooden boards corroded by termites.
Some soldiers hurriedly came forward and packed up the things, straightened a few manageable tables, cleared out the rubbish in the house, and finally had a place to stay. Ma Liang said: "These guys, they walked away.
How dare you do this!"
Several people were talking, and suddenly there were some cries outside the yamen, and a soldier broke in. Duo Zhuge Liang handed over his hand: "Commander, a group of people came outside, claiming to be Yan Yan's family members, and they want to see the military counselor!"
"They still have the nerve to come, and they have lost Jiang Yang, so what else are they going to do?" Ma Liang said with an angry look on his face: "Commander, I'll go and see and send them away!"
Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, and Ma Liang turned around and went out. When Ma Liang left the room, Sun Qian turned to Zhuge Liang and said, "Commander, Long Fei wants to leave Jiangyang to keep us here. It's not a good thing for us. It should be
Make a decision as soon as possible!"
"Why don't I know if Gongyou has any good ideas?"
Sun Qian hurriedly said: "I have some ideas for you to ask the military advisor to listen to. Since Long Fei has seen through our plan and vacated Jiangyang, we will station troops here and pretend to have a decisive battle with Long Fei. We can send an army to surround him."
After attacking Long Fei, he harassed Long Fei's grain road, making it impossible for him to look at each other. Long Fei's army is coming from far away, and it is difficult to transport grain and grass. This should be an opportunity!"
Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Qian. Although Sun Qian was somewhat talented and learned, he was inferior to Ma Liang, and even more incomparable to someone like Long Fei. He had also thought about the strategy behind attacking Long Fei, and as soon as the idea came up he immediately
He was rejected by himself. It was not that Long Fei's food route was difficult to cut off, but that he was worried that the people he sent would never return. Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Qian: "Gongyou's idea is very good, I will seriously consider it!"
Sun Qian immediately looked excited: "The military advisor was so complimentary, I just thought more about it!"
Ma Liang came back soon, with an unhappy look on his face. Seeing that Sun Qian's face was very good, he was a little strange: "Brother Gongyou, what's wrong with you? What makes you so excited?"
Sun Qian hesitated for a moment. Zhuge Liang hurriedly smoothed things over: "It's nothing. What's going on with the people outside?"
"Oh!" Ma Liang hurriedly looked away: "They are all from the Yan family and some wealthy households in the city. Just like here, everything in the house was robbed by the Long Army. They just cried to us. Isn't this adding chaos! "
Zhang Fei, Ma Su, and Wei Yan also came to the Yamen. These three people were arranged by Zhuge Liang to deploy troops and horses. When the three of them entered the door, they were a little surprised to see the situation in the Yamen. The special Ma Su, while scanning the entire Yamen, He clicked his tongue and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, Yan Yan really enjoys it. There are so many good things in the office! You see, this mark should be a jade pendant, round and hollow, use a rope to drop it again!" "
After Ma Su reminded everyone, they really felt that jade pendants had indeed hung there. Not only jade pendants, but also calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc. could be seen everywhere in the yamen. Zhuge Liang nodded slightly: "Youchang, our army is stationed in Jiangyang, you Do you think it’s appropriate?”
"That's inappropriate!" Ma Su answered immediately without thinking.
"Oh? Tell me?" Zhuge Liang raised his hand to stop Ma Liang from scolding.
Ma Su looked at it for a long time, then turned around: "Long Fei withdrew from Jiangyang just to let us occupy this place. If we occupied it, we would just follow Long Fei's wish, so it must be inappropriate?"
"If we don't station in Jiangyang, why don't we do it?" Ma Liang still couldn't hold it back. After all, the Ma family was from a scholarly family. His younger brother was uneducated and had no skills. He felt uncomfortable doing whatever he wanted and had no etiquette at all.
Ma Di ignored Ma Liang's expression and said: "According to the military strategist's plan, it is a plan to divide the troops. Long Fei gave up Jiang Yang just because he saw the right plan. Jiang Yang is like a piece of meat that is about to rot. After eating for a while, If you are sick, it would be a pity to throw it away! Rather than being unable to eat it or throw it away, why not just put it aside and watch it?"
"Why look? How to look?" Sun Qian asked.
Ma Di sneered: "Have you never seen a dog? Look after the home and care for the home!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yan almost laughed out loud, and resisted the urge to turn his head away hastily. Ma Liang was furious and was about to take action: "You bastard, you are talking so freely, let's see if I don't beat you to death!"
Zhuge Liang nodded repeatedly: "Although the words are rude, it is still a good plan! Come on, send the order. The entire army will withdraw from Jiangyang immediately and station outside the city. Anyone who stays in Jiangyang will be killed!"
Zhuge Liang's army had already entered Jiangyang City, and suddenly and hurriedly withdrew. This was beyond Long Fei's expectation. They could be surrounded by fighting inside the city, but there was nothing they could do outside the city. His own troops and Zhuge Liang's Almost, such a huge camp cannot be surrounded at all. Long Fei was a little frustrated: "What does Zhuge Liang want? He won't even eat a piece of meat left to him?"
Guo Jia smiled: "Just don't eat it. It shows that Zhuge Liang has some abilities and is also a master of using troops!"
"What should we do now?"
Guo Jia closed his eyes, but his mind was running rapidly. After waiting for more than an hour, Guo Jia finally opened his eyes: "In this case, we have to take a step back!"
