"My Lord, 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhuge Military Advisor have been trapped in Yizhou. Yizhou General Zhang Ren has led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to surround the army in Zitong County, and may launch an attack on the army at any time." Yang Ling bowed.
Shen Dao.
"So soon?" Liu Qi was slightly surprised. He had known for a long time that there was a possibility of war with Yizhou this time, but he did not expect it to come so soon.
"My lord, General Zhao has already led two thousand Feilong Guards to meet him, and General Gan requested my lord's support. Jiange and Bailao Pass are both under our control and can enter Yizhou at any time," Yang Ling said.
"I understand." Liu Qi waved his hand and turned to look at Wei Yan and Zhang Lu and said: "Wei Yan and Zhang Lu listen to the order."
"The general is here!" Zhang Lu and Wei Yan came out shocked.
"The affairs of Hanzhong are left to you two. Stabilize Hanzhong as soon as possible and bring troops to help me." Liu Qi took a deep look at Wei Yan and Zhang Ludao.
"promise."
"Yang Ling, send an order to Jingzhou to prepare for war with Yizhou at any time." Liu Qi said.
"promise."
Outside Nanzheng City, flags were fluttering, and 30,000 Jingzhou troops were ready to go. Yizhou was different from Hanzhong. 30,000 troops could capture Hanzhong, but it was a bit difficult to capture Yizhou with many soldiers and generals. Moreover, Jingzhou was at this time
The generals have not yet arrived. This time Liu Qi is only planning to take out Zhuge Liang's army, and then stand firm in Yizhou and wait for reinforcements from Jingzhou.
Once the 30,000-strong army left, only 10,000 Jingzhou naval forces were left in Hanzhong. Most of the other troops and horses were Hanzhong soldiers and horses. However, Wei Yan's troops and horses had expanded to 10,000, which was enough to deal with the remaining forces in Hanzhong.
.
The situation in Yizhou is not much different from the original Jingzhou plan. Although he cannot expand his power, it is more than enough to protect himself. Therefore, Liu Qi does not dare to be careless. In history, Liu Bei has the momentum of victory, and his generals are still a little short of coming out.
There was a somersault in Yizhou, and even Feng Chu died in Yizhou. Although Liu Qi had been prepared for this, he was not sure.
Feng Chu suffered a loss in Yizhou at that time, which led to his own death. Will Wolong also suffer a loss in Yizhou and lead to his defeat? According to the intelligence, Yizhou's troops at this time were already
It exceeds 50,000, and continues to increase, while Jingzhou only has 30,000 troops.
Although these 30,000 soldiers and horses are all the elite of Jingzhou, they cannot replenish their food and grass supplies when they go deep into Yizhou, and they are already exhausted after traveling long distances. If there is a head-on war with Yizhou, even Liu Qi has no confidence that Jingzhou will win.
.
"Don't worry, my lord, the general will definitely pacify all parts of Hanzhong within ten days, and then lead his troops and horses to help my lord." Wei Yan bowed solemnly before the army.
"Well, don't be too impatient. It's not the time to start a war with Yizhou yet. General Zhang has been in Hanzhong for more than ten years. If there is anything you don't understand, you should ask him more about it?" Liu Qi nodded. Now Wei Yan is leading the army.
Already able to do this with ease, almost no one in Hanzhong could stop Wei Yan's troops.
Wei Yan and Zhang Lu both nodded.
"Let's go!" Liu Qi gave the order, and 30,000 troops and horses set off immediately. Liu Qi had to go to Jiange to meet Gan Ning before rushing to Yizhou.

In Zitong County, on a hillside, Zhang Renzheng raised his eyes and looked into the distance. Following Zhang Ren's gaze, he could see the situation inside the Jingzhou camp. He could even clearly see the scenes of Jingzhou soldiers busy in the camp.
This is not the first time Zhang Ren has been watching here in the past two days. Every once in a while, Zhang Ren will come here to observe the situation in the Jingzhou camp.
Zhang Ren was the supreme leader of the Jingzhou army this time, and he had already known everything about them. But because of this, Zhang Ren did not dare to make up his mind to attack.
The most dazzling among these 30,000 troops is undoubtedly Zhuge Liang, who has already commanded an army at a young age. Zhang Ren has a lot of information about Zhuge Liang, including every detail of Zhuge Liang's life in Jingzhou, and the most detailed one is
During the short period of time when Jiangdong's army attacked Jiangxia, Zhuge Liang's words and deeds during that time and even the reactions of the armies before and after were clearly revealed.
Zhang Ren has read Zhuge Liang's information no less than ten times, but every time he reads it, he will realize that Zhuge Liang's timing is perfect. Every time, he is able to seize the opponent's flaw, put the opponent to death, and turn defeat into victory. The victory with less is in Zhuge Liang's hands.
Shown vividly.
Zhuge Liang seems to be able to know what the opponent's general is thinking, and can clearly predict every move of his opponent.
Zhang Ren didn't believe such a person. He didn't realize that he had murderous intentions towards the Jingzhou soldiers and horses. But the Jingzhou soldiers and horses were too quiet, as if they didn't realize the fact that they were under siege. This made Zhang Ren quite sad.
For puzzlement.
In his opinion, since Zhuge Liang saw that he was going to attack Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, he should make a series of reactions, and he could find loopholes in it and defeat Jingzhou's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, thus preserving Yizhou's power.
, to prevent Jingzhou's revenge, and to dispel Jingzhou's ambitions, allowing Yizhou to be preserved.
However, Zhuge Liang was so quiet, even a little strange, which made Zhang Ren extremely uneasy. It seemed that Zhuge Liang was waiting for him to take action first, and then looked for an opportunity to defeat him in one blow.
This Zhuge Liang is actually more calm than himself!
"Send the order, order the army to attack!" Withdrawing his gaze, Zhang Ren turned his head and said to the ordering soldier beside him.
"Nuo." The title of the book ordered the soldiers to disperse and go in different directions.
"General, it's still daytime!" a young general exclaimed.
"Only by attacking during the day can we see the clues. The Jingzhou soldiers and horses are too quiet. I want to see how Zhuge Liang responds. Although we can't sneak attack during the day, our Yizhou soldiers and horses have gathered 60,000 people at this time.
, which is twice as many as Jingzhou’s troops and horses. Even a dead attrition can destroy Jingzhou’s troops and horses. Besides, Jingzhou’s troops and horses are exhausted, and their supplies of food and grass are insufficient. How can we defeat our Yizhou troops and horses?”
Zhang Ren shook his head and looked up at the Jingzhou camp again.
As several messengers passed down Zhang Ren's order, the Yizhou soldiers and horses stationed nearby quickly mobilized. With the thundering drums and rumbling footsteps, a Yizhou soldier quickly
Appeared around the Jingzhou camp.
Dong dong dong......
Almost at the moment when the Yizhou soldiers and horses appeared, the rapid drumbeats in the Jingzhou camp also sounded. All the soldiers in the camp did not even think about it, and when the drums sounded, they dropped what they were holding and started to move.
He grabbed the weapons nearby and rushed towards the school grounds.
On the school field, Huang Zhong stood tall and proud. In less than a few dozen breaths, 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers and horses had been assembled, and Huang Zhong's order was also issued. The 30,000 soldiers and horses were divided into two teams and took turns guarding.
camp.
When the Yizhou soldiers and horses rushed within the range of the crossbows in front of the Jingzhou camp, the Jingzhou soldiers and horses also completed their deployment. Seeing that the two sides were about to fight together, the dull horn sound sounded at this time, causing the people who were originally rushing to
All the Yizhou soldiers in the Jingzhou camp stagnated, and then retreated like a tide.
Seeing the Yizhou soldiers and horses retreating, the Jingzhou soldiers and horses also dispersed, and the process was clear and orderly without any confusion.
"With well-founded advance and retreat, he is indeed the best general in Yizhou. This alone shows that his achievements in leading troops are indeed extraordinary." In the Jingzhou camp, in a large tent, Zhuge Liang focused his energy on general Yizhou.
The entire process of this attack was clearly visible.
Behind Zhuge Liang, the supervisor Li Huizheng looked at the retreating Yizhou army in confusion: "Commander, why did Zhang Ren suddenly order the retreat?"
"This is just Zhang Ren's test. If we hadn't reacted in time, Zhang Ren would definitely not have ordered the troops to retreat." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Zhang Ren was just checking to see if I had discovered his intentions. It was not that he wanted to.
For a real attack, if the talks go well, he will order the army to attack the camp tonight."
"Why wait until night?" Li Hui frowned.
"Because it is at night that the Yizhou soldiers and horses can have the advantage. During the day, the army can prepare for defense before the Yizhou soldiers and horses arrive, but at night they cannot accurately grasp the time when the Yizhou soldiers and horses attack. This will give the Yizhou soldiers and horses a chance to attack."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Ren will not miss this point." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan with a faint smile on his lips.
"Ah?" Li Hui exclaimed.
Back in the camp, Zhang Ren looked obviously much more relaxed. At this time, Zhang Ren had confirmed that although Zhuge Liang had discovered his intention, there was nothing he could do about it. Zhuge Liang had already exposed his preparations just now.
Zhuge Liang was not as unprepared as it seemed, but had prepared everything. Seeing this, Zhang Ren felt relieved.
He thought that the reason why Zhuge Liang didn't move was that he already had a way to deal with him, but he didn't expect that he had just secretly prepared it. Standing on the hillside, he could see very clearly that Jingzhou soldiers and horses seemed to have prepared Yizhou soldiers and horses to come from
By the time the attack reaches the Jingzhou army, the deployment can be completed before the Yizhou soldiers and horses rush to the Jingzhou camp.
However, this is nothing in Zhang Ren's eyes, so what if Jingzhou's troops and horses are deployed? The Jingzhou camp has been surrounded by himself. How can he attack the Jingzhou camp, how can others predict it.
The reason why he ordered the army to stop attacking just now was just to paralyze Zhuge Liang, so that Zhuge Liang thought that he was surprised by the speed of Jingzhou soldiers and horses. However, even though he thought this, Zhang Ren was still extremely surprised. These Jingzhou soldiers and horses were actually in such a short time.
To be able to accomplish so many things in a short period of time without any stagnation in between, as if it had been arranged in advance, the soldiers under his command would never be able to do it at such a speed.
"Is it the problem with the drum sound?" After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ren figured out the cause and effect. When the army appeared in the sight of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, the rapid drum sound sounded in the Jingzhou camp, and
It was when the Jingzhou soldiers in the camp heard the sound of drums that they quickly gathered and deployed their defenses. Even Jingzhou General Huang Zhong only felt the presence of the drums after the drums sounded.
"Humph, I don't believe you can still see my Yizhou soldiers and horses at night?" Zhang Ren felt cold in his heart. Jingzhou soldiers and horses couldn't see clearly what was going on around them at night. In addition, the weather was already cold, and Jingzhou soldiers and horses were cold.
