Chapter 332: Zhuge's Plan
Jin State.
Beizhou.
This place is close to the border of Jin State.
Zhuge Liang is supervising the transportation of logistics grain and grass in Beizhou County.
He wanted to send all the grain and grass in Beizhou County to the rear area, because this place would soon be conquered by the coalition forces of Duan State and Tang State.
Some soldiers were very puzzled by Zhuge Liang's approach, because as long as they resisted with a little attentiveness, Beizhou County would not be lost. As long as the rear army rushed to help and relied on the supplies in the city, they could hold on for a long time.
During this period of time, no matter what happens, you can still survive alone. There is a glimmer of hope that you can protect Beizhou from falling, so why not do it?
Everyone said that the Prime Minister was as good as the late Duke Cao when it came to marching and fighting. However, it has been so long and there is still no sign of victory. Instead, the Wei army lost several battles in a row and their ambition was greatly damaged.
, which is much more powerful than losing soldiers and generals.
It was precisely because he was puzzled that he asked Zhuge Liang for the reason.
They did not believe that His Majesty had always had a good eye for people, so how could he have made any mistakes in the employment of personnel for the national war?
This is not true.
So they wanted to know urgently what kind of medicine the Prime Minister was selling in his gourd.
Zhuge Liang knew the questions of the generals in the camp. He originally thought that only one person knew the plan in his heart. To this day, if he did not reveal a few words, I am afraid that the morale would be irreparable. More importantly, His Majesty has just
To reorganize the cabinet, we cannot face impeachment or suspicion at this time, we must stabilize the situation.
As a qualified counselor, you can only plan for the country and the world after you plan for yourself.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang will not put himself in danger at all. This is also to better display his talents and be loyal to the country.
In order to prevent the soldiers from interfering with their plans and to appease the morale of the military, it is a necessary means, but they cannot reveal too much, because the so-called conspiracy does not need too many people to know.
If you know too much and put it to use, you will be at a loss.
He said to the soldiers: "For many days, I have asked the generals to defeat the enemy in order to make the opponent despise us. Liang has a plan in mind to collapse the coalition forces. This plan requires the cooperation of the generals. Do not use it
What happened here will be spread to others. As for what the plan is, everyone will know by then."
The generals in the camp started talking among themselves. Several of them were veteran generals who had followed His Majesty the Emperor on many expeditions many years ago. They actually admired the Prime Minister who was the first to serve as a military adviser and drink wine. Furthermore,
They gradually began to look forward to the prime minister's hidden plans and began to trust him.
The generals in the camp stopped complaining and were about to go down to prepare for the evacuation of Beizhou.
At this moment, a scout came to report that the combined army of Duan Army and Tang Army was about to approach the city.
Zhuge Liang frowned after hearing the news.
This was really unexpected. He said to the soldiers: "The situation has changed. The enemy has already attacked. Now, hurry up and bring all the supplies in Beijun City to the rear. Don't leave a grain of food to the enemy.
Be fast.”
One of the soldiers was worried and said: "Prime Minister, according to what the scouts said, I am afraid that the enemy troops will arrive at the city within half an hour. We simply do not have this time to empty all the food, grass and baggage in the city!"
After Zhuge Liang heard the sound, he thought for a moment and asked, "How much time do you need?"
All the soldiers looked at each other in confusion, and finally one of them replied: "It will take at least nearly an hour."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Okay, let's go and get busy. I'll leave the issue of time to the truth."
Everyone retreated after hearing the sound.
Cao Cao is staying by Zhuge Liang's side at this moment.
After Zhao Changqing captured the capital of Chu, he asked Cao Cao to leave Bai Qi's camp and follow Zhuge Liang on the expedition. He hoped that he could learn some skills from Zhuge Liang and demonstrate the abilities of a hero as soon as possible.
After all, the Wei State, which is bound to unify the world in the future, needs the help of talents the most.
Cao Cao knows what he needs most at the moment. Just ask if you don't understand. Only in this way can he gain a lot in a short time. Otherwise, he will be ashamed to ask. It will be difficult for him to grow in the short term. In this way, his ability will definitely be the same as that of others.
It cannot match the progress of Wei State.
He didn't understand what Zhuge Liang should do to resist the enemy army for nearly an hour, so he asked Zhuge Liang, "Prime Minister, I don't know what method you are going to use to stop the enemy army?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The empty city plan."
"Empty city plan?" Cao Cao asked, doubts rising in his heart.
He knew this empty city plan very well, because when he got to know his idol, the Emperor of Wei, he knew some details of the emperor's attempt to resist the Chu army's attack on the city.
The incident is famous all over the world and is widely praised by the world.
But don’t the common people and military experts in the world all say that there will be no more empty cities after Changqing?
At this time, if you lay out such an empty city strategy, it is impossible for the enemy to not be suspicious, right?
What should we do if a small force is sent to attack the city and harass it?
Isn’t this approach too risky?
Can it be done?
Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing.
He already had a plan in mind.
This time the empty city plan is imperative, and it is also to pave the way for his next plan.
Cao Cao was confused and continued to ask.
Zhuge Liang only answered one or two and said: "I guess you know a lot about this empty city strategy from your father, right? After all, when His Majesty came up with the Empty City Strategy, he was assisted by Cao Laoguo. This time, the Empty City Strategy is not the same as His Majesty's.
The situation when we used the empty city strategy that time was very much the same, but there are some things that are different, because we have lost several games in a row, and the opponent's coach's character and true nature have been clearly understood. Therefore, with the help of the opponent's psychology, this
The empty city plan is not a problem if you put it aside. Just stay with me and increase your knowledge."
Zhuge Liang was very confident in his plan.
Because he is a steady person, if he is not sure about this matter, he will not choose to do it. This is why Zhuge Liang can strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away.
In Zhao Changqing's original world, he, like Zhang Liang, was one of the ten wise men who deserved to be in the martial arts temple. In terms of the status of military generals in the past dynasties, he was among the top ones, and he was as awesome as a mess.
If such a fierce man only serves as a prime minister and does not attack other countries, his talent and ability in military management will be wasted.
Half an hour later.
Zhuge Liang ordered his people to prepare a guqin and place it on the city wall. Then he did not prepare anything. He just picked up the feather fan that he often held and asked Cao Cao to accompany him to climb the city wall to see the enemy.
of Bingfeng.
On the way up the city wall, Zhuge Liang asked Cao Cao, "Are you afraid?"
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "The Prime Minister is afraid?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Why should I be afraid of you?"
Cao Cao also smiled and said: "Since the prime minister has no fear, I only have one life, so why should I be afraid?"
Zhuge Liang laughed when he heard this and said: "Your words sound a bit like Cao Cao. I think back then, Cao Cao looked calm and calm in front of thousands of troops.
The story about how he and the poison doctor Zhu Yanxiu entered the camp of the Chu State and poisoned Xiang Nantian, the first-generation military god of the Chu State, is still being circulated to this day!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed and said: "Compared with my father's style, Cao Cao is far behind. After all, if Cao were asked to follow Senior Zhu to poison the Tang coach, I guess the junior would not dare to go."
Zhuge Liang laughed and said: "Why don't you dare to go? Do you think you can suffer a loss by following Zhu Yanxiu? However, the courage of the two of them at that time was really rare. Only two people dared to complete an impossible task.
Plan to help your majesty defeat the Chu army once and for all. If Xiang Nantian had not died, it is estimated that the war would have lasted for a long time. Before the expedition, I read the recent history compiled by historians and wrote that your father and
When Zhu Yanxiu poisoned Xiang Nantian, he did not use the word poison, but the word 'cure', which is really a wonderful thing."
Cao Cao was puzzled and asked: "Why not write it directly?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Firstly, it is because all history books are written by victors. How to write this situation is up to us. Secondly, it is because His Majesty has extraordinary feelings for Old Duke Cao. Historians have great feelings for Old Duke Cao."
