Six hundred and twentieth chapters put to death and live
Originally, Yang Biao sent someone to call Yang Xiu because he had decided to give up on Yang Xiu completely and sent him to the Yang family's local property so that he could at least become a rich man. But he didn't expect that Yang Xiu would come suddenly.
When this happened, Yang Biao could no longer say the words he had prepared earlier. As the saying goes, a fool can't be exchanged for gold, not to mention that this is his own son. Yang Biao sighed deeply and stretched out his hand to help Yang Xiu.
He got up and patted Yang Xiu's shoulder hard, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, Yang Biao could only sigh: "Okay, you go back and rest! Remember to go to the official residence tomorrow to take up your post!"
"Yes! Father!" Yang Xiu saluted again, walked backwards and left the study. When he arrived outside the study, the old servant from before was no longer there. Yang Xiu closed the door consciously, but after closing the door, Yang Xiu
He did not leave immediately, but stood in front of the door and stared at the door. It seemed that he could see his father in the study through the door. After a long time, Yang Xiu muttered in a low voice: "I'm sorry, father!"
, then turned around and left.
At the same time, in the General's Mansion not far away, Luo Yang and a group of subordinates were troubled by a piece of intelligence that had just been sent. This intelligence was just sent from Guangling, Xuzhou today, and General Gan Gan was stationed in Guangling.
Ning reported to Luo Yang that Sun Wu's soldiers and horses who originally besieged Guangling abandoned Guangling and attacked the hinterland of Xuzhou! Now many cities in Xuzhou have fallen into Sun Wu's hands. Gan Ning asked Luo Yang for instructions whether to send troops to intercept them.
Sun Wu's retreat?
Luo Yang frowned, looking at the battle report in front of him, and started to make plans in his mind. According to the previous plan, Gan Ning's troops stayed in Guangling, just to contain Sun Wu's army so that Sun Wu could not attack Xuzhou, while Liu Bei
They could use their hands to deal with Cao Cao. As for Gan Ning's army, they tried their best not to interfere in the war in Xuzhou. But they never expected that Sun Wu's army would completely ignore their own retreat, abandon Guangling and attack Xuzhou directly! Could it be that they just
Aren't they worried that Gan Ning's troops would cut off their retreat?
"Huh!" Xi Zhicai, who was sitting below, took a long breath and said to Luo Yang with a worried look on his face: "Lord! It seems that what I was most worried about in advance has finally happened! If my subordinate is not wrong about his guess,
, Liu Bei should have joined forces with Sun Ce!"
"Impossible!" Several other people couldn't help but exclaimed. Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, the calmest people, also changed their expressions. Luo Yang looked at Xi Zhicai in astonishment and hurriedly asked: "Zhicai
, This, how is this possible? Liu Bei and Sun Ce just fought a battle! And according to the intelligence, Sun Wu general Xu Sheng also died under Guan Yu's sword. How could Sun Ce join forces with Liu Bei? Besides, now Sun Ce
Wu Dajun has already captured several cities in Xuzhou, so it doesn't look like they are joining forces, right?"
Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "My subordinates also hope so. Lu Boyan's plan is a brilliant one. All the princes of Guandong are included in it. However, there is only one weakness, that is, if any of them is related to
If Liu Bei joins forces, it will be difficult for Lu Boyan's plan to proceed! What his subordinates were most worried about before was that Cao Cao and Liu Bei join forces, but now it seems that Cao Cao has not been able to resist the temptation of such a big benefit. Originally, his subordinates were already
I’m completely relieved, but I didn’t expect Sun Ce to be able to let go of Sun Jian’s hatred and join forces with Liu Bei!”
With that said, Xi Zhicai simply stood up and walked straight to the other side of the meeting hall, where a huge map of the Central Plains hung. Xi Zhicai pointed to the direction of Xuzhou on the map and said to everyone: "Sun
The purpose of Wu's army going so far alone was not to capture the city, but to lure General Gan Ning's troops out of Guangling! General Gan Ning did not have many troops, but they were barely enough to defend Guangling.
If you leave the city rashly, you will definitely not be able to defeat Sun Wu's army!"
After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, Wenpin quickly asked: "Even so, it only proves the intention of Sun Wu's army to break into Xuzhou! How can we prove that Liu Bei has joined forces with Sun Ce?" Wenpin's words can be said to be true.
The question asked the thoughts of most people present. Even Luo Yang looked at Xi Zhicai with doubts on his face, waiting for his answer.
Xi Zhicai nodded at Wenpin, and then continued to explain: "General Gan Ning's battle report mentioned before that Guan Yu led the Chu army to Pengcheng for rescue, but Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang did not accompany the army.
He left, but stayed in Guangling! When I saw this at the time, I also felt very strange. Zhuge Liang was very loyal to Liu Bei. There was no reason why he would be willing to stay in Guangling instead of rescuing Liu Bei! Looking at it now, I'm afraid Zhuge Liang
The plan had already been made at that time, he specifically asked Guan Yu to drain the troops and horses from various cities and counties in southern Xuzhou, leaving a big gap for Sun Wu's army!"
"Ah?" Luo Yang's eyes widened, he looked at Xi Zhicai in disbelief, and exclaimed: "Zhicai, do you mean that Zhuge Liang betrayed Liu Bei?" Luo Yang couldn't believe it at all.
This conclusion shows how loyal Zhuge Liang was to Liu Bei in history. Although things have changed a lot now, it is more realistic for Luo Yang to believe that Zhuge Liang will betray Liu Bei than for Luo Yang to believe that the sun rises from the west every day. Not only
Luo Yang and Pang Tong beside him also shook their heads to express disbelief. He and Zhuge Liang have been classmates for many years. Pang Tong is very clear about Zhuge Liang's character. Since he chose to assist Liu Bei, he will never regret it and will only follow one path to the end.
Xi Zhicai quickly shook his head and said: "No! This is not what I meant! On the contrary, what Zhuge Liang did was not to betray Liu Bei, but to help Liu Bei! This was to risk his life and survive. Zhuge Liang is really powerful!
"
At this time, Cheng Yu suddenly narrowed his eyes and immediately understood what Xi Zhicai meant, and said: "Master Xi! What you mean is that in order to lure General Gan Ning stationed in Guangling, Zhuge Liang deliberately sent several counties in Xuzhou away
To Sun Wu's army?"
"Not bad!" Xi Zhicai nodded vigorously, but there was an expression of excitement on his face. It has been many years since Xi Zhicai joined Luo Yang's account, and it has been a long time since he felt like meeting his opponent! Zhuge Liang, as expected,
What a good opponent! Xi Zhicai curled up his lips and continued: "Zhuge Liang must have seen through Lu Boyan's plan early on. It's just that Liu Bei couldn't break the plan on his own, so Zhuge Liang thought of borrowing Sun Wu's power!
He must have guessed that his lord would not sit back and watch Liu Bei be destroyed, so he asked Sun Wu to capture several cities in Xuzhou and force General Gan Ning out of the city! After destroying General Gan Ning's army, Zhuge Liang will come back to negotiate peace with Sun Wu!"
"Uh!" Wenpin asked again at this time: "If that's the case, wouldn't Zhuge Liang be afraid that Sun Wu's lion would open his mouth and attack Pengcheng all the way to swallow Xuzhou directly?"
"No!" This time, there was no need for Xi Zhicai to answer. Pang Tong, who had already figured out the joints, shook his head and said: "Sun Wu doesn't have the ability, and he won't do it! Don't forget, the one who attacked Xuzhou this time,
In addition to Sun Wu's army, there are also Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan! Although Sun Ce has joined forces with Cao Cao, they are secretly scheming, and no one wants to get less benefits than others. Moreover, the lord's plan is now so obvious.
The Kwantung princes also have many resourceful men. As long as General Gan Ning is removed, the Kwantung princes will immediately join forces again!"
"It's really easy to calculate!" Luo Yang was stunned for a moment because of the analysis of Xi Zhicai and others. Finally, Luo Yang couldn't help but sigh. What a pity! Why couldn't he have taken Zhuge Liang into his hands earlier? The situation is so good now.
, was so disturbed by Zhuge Liang, which made Luo Yang feel aggrieved! However, Luo Yang was not the kind of person who would feel sorry for himself when encountering a slight setback. He just sighed for a moment, then immediately regained his energy and raised his head.
He said to everyone sitting down: "If this is the case, do you have any good strategies to solve this problem?"
Now that Zhuge Liang's plan has been seen through, Gan Ning must not go out to fight! But the matter cannot be resolved like this. If Gan Ning does not go out to fight, what if Sun Wu's army sees this opportunity and kills Pengcheng in one go?
Wouldn't it be worse if he took it away? Besides, now Liu Bei has openly allied with Luo Yang. Seeing Xuzhou being attacked, but Luo Yang did nothing to save him, the blow to Luo Yang's reputation is not low.
!
Everyone was silent for a moment. Suddenly, Pang Tong seemed to have remembered something. He raised his head, smiled strangely, and said, "Master! I have a plan!" As he said that, Pang Tong suddenly stretched his hand into his arms and took out a handful.
A cow-ear knife! The appearance of this knife does not look special. On the contrary, it looks very simple. It only has a thick layer of cowhide covering the blade and handle. It looks no different from the daggers used by ordinary hunters.
But in front of Luo Yang, Pang Tong actually took out a knife, which really shocked everyone.
Fortunately, all the generals here knew that Pang Tong was very loyal to Luo Yang and would not harm Luo Yang, so they were just shocked at first, and then sat back down. But Pang Tong himself didn't care.
So many, the cowhide on the knife was slowly untied, and finally the blade of the knife was exposed. The moment the blade was just exposed, the eyes of all the generals present lit up, and Wenpin couldn't help but exclaimed
: "What a great knife!"
It turned out that the knife was completely black, but at the moment when the cowhide was just peeled off, a bright light passed through the tip of the knife and walked along the blade. The generals here were very discerning, and they could tell at a glance that this knife
It is definitely an extremely sharp sword! Pang Tong held up the knife and flashed it towards Luo Yang, smiling: "My lord! Do you still remember this knife?"
Luo Yang took a breath, a flash of heat flashed in his eyes, nodded and said: "Remember! The most precious treasure of Baiyue, the Moon Sword!"
