Next, Cao Zhi did not mention that the "Tips" were Zhuge Liang's patent, but continued to reveal his third "Tips" to Zhuge Liang.
"So even so, after making the current arrangements, I feel a sense of uneasiness deep in my heart. It is a feeling that has no reason, cannot be explained, and is purely intuitive. This kind of intuition
It mainly comes from two places, sir, can you guess which two it is?" Cao Zhi asked Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows as usual, and it was like an explosion of intuition. Suddenly he noticed the first source of Cao Zhi's uneasiness.
"Cao Gong is a genius, but he seems to feel that there is something imperfect in the two encirclement plans he designed this time, and there is a vague idea that something is missing. The first one should come from the north, and the second one...
…Bright and stupid, I haven’t thought of it yet…”
Working with smart people can arouse Cao Zhi's good mood. After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Cao Zhi laughed and simply did not answer whether Zhuge Liang was right or wrong, nor did he praise him, but turned his head and asked himself
Guo Jia, the first staff member, asked: "What's the news about Yuan Shao?"
"There is no news yet. But Mr. Cheng and the others are still working hard, and Yuan Shao's attitude is not bad. Everything can still be discussed!"
"What about Ma Teng and Han Sui?"
"Lord Zhong said that if necessary, the two families will go to war again due to their long-standing conflict. Ma Teng also led his family on their way to Xudu. There is basically no threat in Guanzhong!"
Guo Jia counted for Cao Zhi the many arrangements for Zhuge Liang's "first anxiety", and then turned to Zhuge Liang. Whether he really didn't understand the "second anxiety" or was pretending to be confused, he skipped over Cao Zhi and faced Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang said: "My lord's second uneasiness comes from Sun Ce. Zhou Yu has no choice. He can only move forward at this time, but Sun Ce can. If he leads the remaining troops at all costs, bypasses Yuzhang and forcibly opens up the Luling area, and then fights with Sun Ce."
Jing, Zhou Yu join forces, there is no chance of a comeback!"
"Ding dong!" Zhuge Liang was still shocked and his legs that were sitting cross-legged jumped unnaturally. He might have expected that Cao Zhi had made arrangements for the entire front of Sun Ce's army, but he never thought that Cao Zhi would have a third attack.
Three sets of plans, and from the information revealed by Guo Jia, it is not difficult for people like Zhuge Liang to imagine that Cao Zhi not only wanted to prevent Sun Ce from making a desperate move, but also wanted to completely solve it because of Sun Ce's worries.
"Then Mr. Cao..." Zhuge Liang stood up on tiptoe, staring at Cao Zhi, and prolonged his words.
"I think I won't be wrong about Le Jin's third tip. He wants to take Jiang Qin and Lu Qian with him to Kuaiji to support Zhang Zha, the leader of my other army in Yangzhou. Their goal is not to copy Sun Ce's retreat.
But raid his lair!"
At this moment, following Cao Zhi's cold words, he seemed to be the pinnacle figure standing at the top of the world, without any emotion, looking down on all the counties in Jiangdong that Sun Ce had run for many years. The people there, including Sun Ce's family, were at this moment
Cao Zhi's words are just insignificant ants, and he can destroy them all easily.
But how could Zhuge Liang have such great power and so many troops at this time to launch such a huge triple encirclement war plan? Yue Jin, who was far away in Xiakou, jointly launched the plan with Li Dian, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin and Lu Qian.
This is what Cao Zhi calls the third "ingenious trick".
It was almost early in the morning when they did this sacred thing. They saw a mess outside the east city. Standing on a high place, Le Jin and others could see with the naked eye the abandoned camps and a lot of domestic garbage outside the city.
, especially in the burning pile of corpses. There were Sun Jun's people and theirs. This was Cheng Pu's masterpiece before he left. Le Jin and others were completely in chaos at this time, and Cheng Pu attacked them crazily.
How he ran away in one day is so incomprehensible.
Le Jin looked up at the sky nervously from time to time. At this moment, he had followed Cao Zhi's second tip and had almost achieved all his goals.
Cao Zhi's second tip asked Le Jin to defend Xiakou for five days. Five days later, when Sun Ce increased his troops here, he could board Jiang Qin's warship, retreat fifty miles upstream of the Han River, and then open the third
With three tips, you will know his next order.
But now Xiakou City is not only firmly in his hands, but reinforcements from Wenpin, the authentic Jiangxia prefect outside the city, have just arrived and are continuously entering this small town at the intersection of three rivers from the west city gate.
At this moment, Wenpin's men and horses have entered the city. There are already more than a thousand people. Many infantrymen carrying heavy ordnance. Although the speed of entering the city is a little slower, Wenpin is obviously very determined in his heart and is in no hurry to report to Lejin and unveil the news with him.
The third tip.
Le Jin grimaced and sighed to himself: "Brother, why do you come up with this set of tips when you have nothing to do? The first two tips were wrong to varying degrees, and the third one is still not open now.
Has it been demolished? Cheng Pu has withdrawn his troops, and Wenpin has arrived. It is unrealistic to give in again without Xiakou."
As soon as Cheng Pu withdrew his troops yesterday, Le Jin, who was worried, sent out several groups of scouts to detect whether Cheng Pu had really withdrawn his troops or was just playing tricks and launching a surprise attack on him. But the result was shocking.
Disappointed, Cheng Pu really left, and he left quickly and resolutely.
This creates a problem for Le. The tips can only be opened at a specific time and environment. Now the time and environment are not right, so what should we do?
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!" When Le Jin and others were in a dilemma, the tall and tall Wenpin climbed up the East City Tower with joyful steps. When he saw the generals, he happily greeted them all.
"Prefect Wen, you came just in time..." Le Jin and Gan Ning were all shocked and greeted Wen Pin with joy.
######When Le Jin was hesitant about Cao Zhi's third tip, some people in Chaisang couldn't help it.
"The vanguard has set out today, and Sun Ce will follow in disguise tomorrow. We can't wait any longer!" The speaker was Yu Fan, a subordinate of Wang Lang, who was the prefect of Kuaiji. He later surrendered to Sun Ce and served under Sun Ce ever since.
But he was a royalist who was well-versed in the Confucian idea of loyalty to the emperor and the country. In his dictionary, loyalty to the emperor was the right way, and anyone else was a traitor. So, the people sent by Jia Xu quickly picked up this man.
A loyal and patriotic person, and with Wang Lang's recommendation and guarantee, Yu Fan is now an important chess piece placed beside Sun Ce.
And his words were spoken to Wei Teng, the current meritorious official of Kuaiji County who was sitting opposite him. Wei Teng, also known as Zhou Lin, was a straightforward and resolute person who adhered to principles and would never act according to the will of his superiors.
.Once, Wei Teng disobeyed Sun Ce's will and angered Sun Ce. Sun Ce was furious and determined to kill Wei Teng. Seeing Sun Ce's anger, his subordinates were very scared and did not dare to persuade him, and they could not think of anything.
There was a good way to rescue Wei Teng, but in the end Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, intervened in the matter, and Wei Teng's life was saved. But since then, Wei Teng has rebelled.
Wei Teng's family is one of the prominent families in Kuaiji County. They have great influence and appeal in Kuaiji County and even the Jiangdong area. Sun Ce had just taken possession of Jiangdong and was in the process of starting a business. His foundation was not yet solid and his power was not yet solid.
Without strengthening, some of the big families in Kuaiji County and Jiangdong were still in a state of hostility and resistance, had not fully surrendered, and some were still on the sidelines. At this time, Sun Ce had angered Wei Teng, and he was naturally dissatisfied.
At the same time, because of his family affairs in Kuaiji, Wei Teng also gathered a group of subordinates of Xu Gong, the former prefect of Wu County who was hunted by Sun Ce. After hiding under Wei Teng's protection, this group of people had been thinking about killing Sun Ce and serving Xu Gong.
They wanted to take revenge, but Wei Teng's position was not high and he had no military power, so they never had a chance.
But when Yu Fan noticed this, he contacted him and instigated Wei Teng to rebel. Wei Teng introduced these dead soldiers to Yu Fan. Because it was difficult for the people sent by Cao Zhi to get close to Sun Ce, he attacked Yu Fan
, Wei Teng attaches great importance to the group of dead men under his control, and hopes that they will use these people at the most important moment.
"There is no problem with everyone, but we cannot harm ourselves!" After all, Wei Teng's family in Kuaiji has a great career, and he is worried that if he fails to succeed, he will harm himself.
"You don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of the publicity. You just need to arrange these people. After taking action, you can go back to Kuaiji immediately. Cao Gong has arrangements there!" Yu Fan said firmly to Wei Teng.
"Okay, let's start tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, wish us success!"
After a busy night, the ships as big as goose feathers were busy at the pier in Chaisang all night. When the sky was getting brighter, I looked around and saw that the entire pier was already a gray color. This color seemed to have already transformed this place.
A piece of sky and earth covered it, and between the sky and the earth, except for this gray, there was no other color.
Sun Ce, who was wearing civilian clothes, stood in front of the window with a panoramic view of the dock and sighed, saying in a low voice: "I only hope that while we are alive, we can finish this battle and leave peace to boys like Sun Quan.
The world is the best!"
"Hehe! As long as our lord defeats Cao Zhi's conspiracy in this battle, the war will be ended as soon as possible and the world will be pacified!" The person who spoke was Yu Fan. Since Zhang Hong had already followed Sun Quan, Yu Fan was one of the few advisers around Sun Ce.
The two of them looked at each other and both knew that their words were too naive. In the current situation, it seemed that there was no chance of it being realized at all, but they couldn't bear to say this cruel fact in their hearts.
Then Yu Fan dissuaded Sun Ce with good intentions and said: "My lord, traveling in light casual clothes can hide the eyes of others, but we have to take a detour through Chaisang City. If there is any accident along the way, I am worried that my followers will not be alert in time. My lord is very worried."
