"Yes! I understand!" After reading the information sent by the messenger, Zhuge Liang nodded, slowly put the letter down, handed it to Zhang Fei next to him, and asked in a deep voice: "Is General Chen injured?"
The messenger came from Pengcheng at high speed. He was covered with travel dust and his face was full of exhaustion. However, when faced with Zhuge Liang's inquiry, the messenger did not stop and immediately replied: "General Chen is not injured, only General Liu Feng."
When ambushing Zhang Liao, he was killed by Zhang Liao!"
"Yeah!" Upon hearing that Liu Feng was killed, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei present had no intention of moving. In the eyes of everyone, Liu Feng was just a small role under Liu Bei and could not get on the stage at all. Zhuge Liang waved his hand.
He signaled the messenger to retreat, then turned to Zhang Fei and said: "Third general! After this battle, Gan Ning and Zhang Liao no longer have the ability to harass Pengcheng! Next, what we have to do is attack
Just go to Chenjun, Chenliu and Yingchuan counties!"
"Oops!" Zhang Fei still looked carefree. He just glanced at the information Zhuge Liang gave him and threw it aside. On the contrary, he was very interested in Zhuge Liang's last words, and even said: "
Military Advisor! I have been waiting for your words! How about we attack Changyuan City right away?"
Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang led 100,000 Chu troops from Xuzhou this time and rushed all the way to Yanzhou. They had arrived at Baima three days ago. However, Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry to attack, but was waiting for news from Xuzhou. Because this time Liu Bei sent troops to assist.
The biggest threat to Cao Cao is Gan Ning and Zhang Liao stationed in Guangling! Now the battle report from Xuzhou has come. Although Gan Ning and Zhang Liao have not been eliminated, the Jiangdong Army has been severely damaged. Guangling's troops may not dare to go north again! No
With no worries at all, Zhang Fei's 100,000 troops can naturally give it a go!
However, Zhuge Liang did not rush to agree to Zhang Fei's request for a battle. Instead, he slowly walked to the map hanging in the meeting hall and studied it carefully. After a while, Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Three generals! This is it!"
The first attack on Chenliu Changyuan can be carried out by three generals, but this white horse cannot be given up! The three generals should lead an army of 70,000 to Changyuan. With the bravery of the three generals, there should be no problem in taking Chenliu, but these 30,000 are left.
Soldiers and horses, if you want to stay here on this white horse, I will personally guard it!"
"Haha! Ah? No!" Hearing what Zhuge Liang said at the beginning, Zhang Fei still looked proud. But when Zhuge Liang said the last sentence, Zhang Fei immediately froze, shook his head and shouted: "Military advisor! What's going on?
OK? Before leaving, my elder brother ordered me to stay by the military advisor's side and never leave! How can I leave the military advisor here alone?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Three generals, I must stay here! According to reports from spies, Luo Yang personally led the Western Qin army from Hangu Pass and has now occupied Hanoi! Should we attack Dongjun first or arrive first?
Chen Liu has no way of knowing! If we attack Dongjun first, then Baima will be in the most critical position and we cannot afford to miss anything! I have to personally guard this place before I can rest assured!"
When Zhuge Liang said this, Zhang Fei became even more determined. He waved his hand and shouted: "If this is really the case, then I can't leave the military advisor alone here! Otherwise, the military advisor will go with me to attack Changyuan. Or
Otherwise, I will stay in Baima with the military advisor! I can’t leave the military advisor alone to take risks here!”
Zhang Fei's words warmed Zhuge Liang's heart, but soon Zhuge Liang said seriously: "Three generals! I am making such arrangements, but it is for the lord's great cause! The lord has raised the army, and success or failure depends on this! Not to mention the white horse.
There can be no mistakes. If the three generals and your subordinates are all guarding this white horse, then who will attack Chenliu? They have been sticking here. The daily consumption of food and grass is an astonishing amount, not to mention that the overall situation will be passive. Sooner or later,
Western Qin took advantage of it! Do the three generals want to see my lord’s hegemony fail?”
Zhang Fei was left speechless by Zhuge Liang's series of questions. He also knew that Zhuge Liang's decision was the most correct, but he had to leave Zhuge Liang as a civil servant to guard Baima alone, and what he faced was the Western Qin people.
There are nearly two hundred thousand troops! How can Zhang Fei feel relieved? Seeing that Zhang Fei's expression seemed to relax, Zhuge Liang continued to persuade: "In fact, the three generals don't need to worry so much. According to my calculation, even if Luo Yang wants to
A direct attack on Dongjun would not involve sending all the 200,000 troops! Luo Yang has experienced hundreds of battles and has experienced marching techniques. When he was young, he liked to divide his troops when marching and fighting. Now the attack on Yanzhou is more about unification.
In an important battle in the world, Luoyang will never fight alone. Think about it, he will definitely divide the 200,000 troops into two groups, and divide them into Dongjun and Chenliu! Therefore, the number of troops sent to Dongjun will not exceed 100,000 at most.
! There are also thirty thousand soldiers and horses left behind on the white horse. Although I am not talented, it is not difficult to defend the white horse with thirty thousand people!" Zhuge Liang said the last sentence with great confidence.
, of course, Zhuge Liang himself also has the ability to be confident.
Just as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from the side, but it was Sima Yi who had been sitting silently next to him. Sima Yi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Master Zhuge's ability is better than that of a lower official."
Looking forward to it very much!”
As soon as Sima Yi said this, Zhuge Liang immediately smelled a strong smell of provocation, but Zhuge Liang didn't care. Instead, he smiled and said to Sima Yi: "Sir, there is no need to be too leisurely! I can't follow the three generals this time.
We are going to attack Chen Liu, but the three generals cannot be without someone who can make suggestions, so we can only trouble Lord Sima!"
As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Sima Yi's eyes immediately narrowed into slits. From Zhuge Liang's body, Sima Yi vaguely saw the shadow of Xu Shu. He heard that these two people and Pang Tong, who worked under Luo Yang's account, were classmates and friends. This
The pride in Sima Yi's heart started to trouble him again! When he was under Cao Cao's tent, Sima Yi was not willing to live under Xu Shu. Now that he was under Liu Bei's tent, Sima Yi would naturally not be willing to be Zhuge Liang's left! But Sima Yi also knew that it was not the case yet.
When attacking Zhuge Liang, he must now accumulate a lot of achievements to make Liu Bei trust him more! And this attack on Chen Liu is an opportunity! So Sima Yi immediately nodded and said: "I dare you to disobey me!
This time I will definitely try my best to assist the three generals!"
Zhuge Liang smiled faintly. Zhuge Liang was naturally very clear about Sima Yi's thoughts, and it was obvious that Sima Yi had never thought of hiding it! If Liu Bei had the power in the world now, Zhuge Liang would never give Sima Yi a chance to raise his head, but now Xi
Qin's power is great, and Liu Bei's men are in urgent need of talents like Sima Yi, so it is better to make the best use of them!
"This still won't work!" Zhang Fei, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said another sentence, "Big brother has explained that the safety of the military advisor is the most important! I can't watch the military advisor take risks! Why don't you give this white horse to Lord Sima?
Guard, the military advisor should come with me to Chenliu!"
Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but laugh and cry. Not to mention whether Zhang Fei's idea was feasible, he couldn't just say it in front of Sima Yi! In this way, wasn't he clearly telling Sima Yi that he would be Zhuge Liang's scapegoat? Zhuge Liang
He glanced at Sima Yi from the corner of his eye. Sure enough, after listening to Zhang Fei's words, a gloomy look flashed between Sima Yi's eyebrows, but it quickly dissipated. Zhuge Liang frowned, and then smiled at Zhang Fei.
Fei said: "Third general! Lord Sima has just joined the lord's account and doesn't know much about the situation in the army. It will be inconvenient for him to lead the army alone, so it is safest to stay here!" What Zhuge Liang meant by this!
It's quite clear. Sima Yi had just surrendered and handed the white horse to him, and Zhuge Liang was worried! For smart people, Zhuge Liang didn't need to spend too much time lying. Everyone knew it anyway, but it was just a matter of scene.
Just prettier.
Sure enough, Sima Yi's expression did not change this time. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Actually, I have a way! The third general is just worried that Lord Zhuge is not safe here alone! The lower official heard that the third general's son Zhang
The Major General's martial arts skills are extraordinary. It is better to keep Major General Zhang with Lord Zhuge and add some elite men to protect Lord Zhuge. In this way, the three generals can rest assured of Lord Zhuge's safety and go to fetch Chen Liu with peace of mind.
!”
"Uh!" Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei were both stunned, and had to admit that Sima Yi's compromise method was the best. Although Zhang Fei's son Zhang Bao was only twenty-five or six years old, his martial arts skills were inherited from Zhang Fei.
Fei, even more so, and Guan Xing, Guan Yu's son, are the two young masters under Liu Bei's account! With Zhang Bao by Zhuge Liang's side, Zhang Fei is indeed relieved. The two glanced at each other, and Zhang Fei immediately
He shouted loudly: "Bao'er! Are you willing?"
Zhang Bao was also in the meeting hall at the moment. He just heard Sima Yi's words, telling him not to go with his father to attack Chen Liu. Zhang Bao was really not happy, but now Zhang Fei asked him, how could Zhang Bao say that?
No? Dang even stood up from his seat, clasped his fists at Zhang Fei and shouted: "Don't worry, father! I will protect the military advisor with my life!" Zhang Bao really inherited Zhang Fei's fine bloodline and grew taller and bigger.
A pair of leopard-ringed eyes are exactly the same as those of Zhang Fei!
Now that Zhang Bao has said so, the matter has been settled. Zhang Fei nodded and clasped his fists at Zhuge Liang and shouted: "In that case, please ask the military advisor to give more guarantees in Baima! I have taken Chen Liu and sent people to rush out."
Come and notify the military advisor!"
Zhuge Liang also nodded and said: "Third general, when we go to Chenliu, remember not to be greedy for credit, just take Chenliu! If we take Chenliu, Luo Yang will be afraid and retreat to Sizhou! Then we will unite Cao Cao's army and go
Take the remaining two counties!"
"I understand!" Zhang Fei nodded and stopped talking nonsense. He stood up and walked directly outside the meeting hall. This fiery temperament has not changed at all because of his age!
