In the big tent.

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked worriedly: "Military advisor, can you really take down Yiling before Zhou Yu?"

"Don't worry, lord."

"This Yiling City is much easier to attack than Jiangling."

"It's not difficult to seize Yiling."

"Before Liang came, I had a countermeasure in my heart."

Zhuge Liang said confidently.

"I am worthy of being a military advisor. It turns out that I have already had a plan to break the city." Liu Bei was overjoyed and looked at Zhuge Liang with satisfaction.

Then I couldn't help asking, "I don't know what military advisor is going to destroy the city?"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly. After everyone's eyes gathered, he spit out two words with a strong force: "Fire Attack!"

Immediately.

Liu Bei almost couldn't sit firmly and fell down.

Fire Attack again!

He had already had a strong psychological shadow on this plan.

It was just because Zhuge Liang used fire attack tricks several times, but failed again and again.

Even Zhou Yu had planned for a long time and thought he was flawless in the plan to burn the Red Cliff, Cao Cao saw through it.

Can the fire attack of the military advisor still work?

Liu Bei had no confidence.

Zhang Fei, who was sitting below, couldn't help but shouted: "I said Zhuge Liang, are you only knowing how to use this trick?"

"Whatever you do is fire attack. If you leave the fire, you won't use any tricks?"

"If I ask Zhang Fei, I will tell you that I need to use any fire. As long as I give me ten thousand soldiers, I will be able to attack Yiling City immediately."

Although Zhang Fei's words were vulgar, the generals below nodded subconsciously.

General Zhang is right.

The military advisor’s fire attack plan... let it go, it’s really unreliable.

Facing the doubts of the generals, Zhuge Liang coughed awkwardly, and at the same time he was a little angry with Su Jijiu.

If this person hadn't seen through his plan again and again, how could he be ridiculed by everyone?

But this time, Su Jijiu was not in Yiling City.

He didn't believe it anymore, and someone could see through his fire attack plan.

"Yi De, don't be rude to the military advisor."

Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei with reproach, and Zhang Fei stopped talking in disappointment.

"Military advisor, how sure are you to do this plan?" Liu Bei turned his head and asked.

"Ten percent!"

Zhuge Liang smiled confidently.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that it is stable if you are 100% sure.

But to be on the safe side, he looked at Pang Tong, who had never spoken.

"What does Shi Yuan think?"

When Pang Tong heard the question, he raised his head and smiled and said, "Lord, I have the same idea as Kong Ming."

"Although there are only 30,000 troops in Yiling City, there are sufficient weapons and the damage to the attack is too great."

"And there is a dense jungle not far from Yiling City, which is really an excellent place for fire attacks."

"And now it is spring, the weather is dry, the weather is clear, and the fire is very flammable."

"How can there be no such thing as time and place?"

After hearing Pang Tong say so, Liu Bei finally felt completely relieved.

How can you not succeed if you agree with the Dragon and Phoenix Chicken?

"good!"

"Then follow the military advisor and Shi Yuan said, attack Cao's army in fire."

Liu Bei waved his hand and immediately ordered.

"promise!"

The generals under his command immediately stood up and responded.

Only Zhang Fei stood up slowly and stared at Zhuge Liang with his big eyes.

"Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, you said there was a dense forest outside the city, which could be attacked by fire, but if the Cao army did not leave the city and defended Yiling to the death, how could you burn this fire?"

I have to say.

Only those who are simple-minded, such as Zhang Fei, will question Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

No one else thought of this.

When he heard Zhang Fei ask, he immediately looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.

yes.

If Cao's army does not come out, how can we use fire attack?

Do you shoot rockets into the city?

Liu Bei's face was quite calm. He believed that the military advisor and Shi Yuan would have a perfect solution.

So he looked at the two of them.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, looking at Zhang Fei in his chest:

"General Zhang, please relax. I have my own way to lure Cao's army out of the city and fight with our army."

Zhang Fei snorted coldly.

"Just bragging!"

"You said that a few times, but when did it happen?"

After being exposed by Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang's face turned rosy and he stopped shaking his feather fan and looked at Zhang Fei in a depressed manner.

"Yide believes in me again. If this time fails, I will take care of you."

Zhang Fei had to say something else, but was interrupted by Liu Bei.

"Okay, third brother, step down."

"As the military advisor's plan."

Liu Bei said.

"yes."

Zhang Fei stopped.

"Military advisor, please give orders."

Liu Bei turned to look at Zhuge Liang and said solemnly.

Facing Liu Bei's serious gaze, Zhuge Liang also felt very stressed.

If this plan fails, then his reputation that has been hard-working for more than ten years may be defeated.

Taking a deep breath, Zhuge Liang got up and came forward, bowed to Liu Bei, and then looked at everyone.

"Cao Hong is calm and moderate. Like Cao Ren, he is a general who defends the city. If he wants to attack the city he is stationed in, he will be asking for trouble."

"And it is difficult to force him out of the city to fight in an ordinary way."

"When I was discussing with Shi Yuan these days, I thought of a good plan that would force Cao Ren to leave the city."

Zhuge Liang glanced at Pang Tong, then smiled and said, "Please call for a few days first to anger the guards in Yiling City."

"After three days of this, I will prepare a few women's clothes, add a letter to send them to Yiling City."

"After reading the letter, Cao Hong will leave the city and fight with us to the death."

this……

All the generals present were silent.

Give women's clothes to the city guards.

It is really a sinister trick, which is a disgrace to be gentle.

Zhang Fei was angry at that time, slapped the desk in front of him, and glared at Zhuge Liang angrily and said, "Zhuge Pifu, I, Old Zhang, can't afford to lose this person."

"My 50,000 army actually needs to rely on such a clumsy plan to lure Cao Hong out of the city. Even if I win, my face will be lost!"

"Brother, this plan is absolutely not advisable."

With Zhang Fei's voice, the rest of the tent nodded repeatedly.

yes.

This plan not only angered Cao Hong, but they were almost angered.

Zhuge Liang's expression was unmoved, but he just looked at Liu Bei seriously.

"Lord, I wonder if it is important to have temporary honor and disgrace, or is the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in our army important?"

Liu Bei's eyebrows froze.

Now he has more than 70,000 people under his command, and one person is missing.

Of course, I don't want too much casualties.

Although Zhuge Liang's plan was a little despicable, it wouldn't matter if he could easily take Yiling, it would be a little bit of a criticism.

Immediately.

Liu Bei nodded and said:

"Our army is rushing to attack for a long distance. If we can easily capture Yiling, reduce losses, and mere honor and disgrace, we can put it aside."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he stared at Zhuge Liang with a serious expression, "Military advisor, are you sure to seduce Cao Hong?"

If Cao Hong did not leave the city, they would really become the laughing stock of the world.

"Haha, lord, don't worry, the women's clothes I gave this time were not for Cao Hong, but for Cao Cao."

"If Cao Hong was humiliated himself, he might be able to withstand it, but Cao Cao was humiliated, with Cao Hong's respect for Cao Cao, he would not be able to bear it."

Zhuge Liang smiled confidently.

"Okay, then follow what the military advisor said." Liu Bei nodded.

Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief. With Liu Bei's support, this strategy could be implemented.

"Zhou Cang, I ordered you to lead five thousand soldiers to go to Yiling City day and night to call."

In the crowd, Zhou Cang immediately bowed his order.

"Zilong."

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun stood up unwillingly.

"Three days later, when Cao Hong's army comes out, Zilong leads his troops to resist for a while, then deceives defeat and retreats to the jungle to the west."

"Yes." Zhao Yun nodded.

"Yide." Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Fei again.

"snort!"

Zhang Fei glared at Zhuge Liang dissatisfiedly, but under Liu Bei's eyes, he still bowed reluctantly.

"You lead 20,000 troops and ambush the jungle in the west, prepare the objects to attract fire. When Cao Hong leads his troops, he will light the fire and cut off his retreat."

"The fire is raging. I think this fire is enough to burn the army that Cao Hong brought out of the city."

"Cao Hong's defeat will definitely affect the morale in Yiling City. At that time, please ask the lord to lead troops to attack Yiling and take it down in one go."

Liu Bei immediately bowed to Zhuge Liang: "Yes, follow the order of the military advisor."

When the others saw Liu Bei like this, the remaining dissatisfaction in their hearts disappeared and they saluted Zhuge Liang.

"Okay, let's go down and prepare, and act according to the plan in three days."

After Zhuge Liang's order was issued.

Liu Bei's army immediately took action.

Zhou Cang personally led 5,000 troops to the Yiling City to challenge the battle.

Cao Hong and Wei Yan, who heard the news, rushed to the city wall as soon as possible.

Listening to the unbearable insults below, the deputy general Niu Jin looked ugly and asked Cao Hong for his order: "General, please give the last general five thousand people. I will definitely kill Liu Jun outside the city without leaving any armor!"

Wei Yan, who was beside him, immediately showed a nervous look.

I was afraid that Cao Hong would agree with an impulse.

"Haha... don't pay attention to them. They like to scold them, just let them scold them." Cao Hong waved his hand and said indifferently.

"this……"

"Do you just let Liu Jun insult?"

"General, if this continues, it may affect the morale in the city." Niu Jin said unwillingly.

Cao Hong glanced at Niu Jin and said coldly: "Master Jijiu has an order to defend Yiling to the death and not leave the city to fight. You should also keep in mind the words of Master Jijiu and not leave the city lightly."

"Those who dare to say that they will leave the city will be thirty rods!"

After saying that, Cao Hong turned around and got off the city wall.

Niu Jin and other generals looked angry, but they had no choice but to patrol the defense angrily.

Wei Yan glanced at the underworld.

I saw that Liu Jun was just yelling and scolding under the city, and did not bring the equipment to siege the city. Obviously, he did not intend to siege the city, but wanted to lead them out of the city to fight to the decisive battle.

It's just a pity.

Lord Jijiu had long anticipated their plan and had given instructions in advance.

What Liu Jun did was destined to be a waste of time.

Shaking his head, Wei Yan also got off the city wall, went to rectify the troops and horses in the city, and counted the baggage.

Three days passed in a flash.

It's noon this day.

Cao Hong and Wei Yan patrolled the city as usual, and suddenly a personal guard came to report.

"Report!"

A personal guard rushed over.

"What's the matter?" Cao Hong stopped and asked.

"Report to the general, Liu Jun sent an envoy outside the city, saying that he wanted to see the general." said the guard.

"Oh, Liu Bei sent an envoy to see me at this time?"

Cao Hong was stunned.

This is a bit interesting.

He looked at Wei Yan beside him and asked, "Wen Chang, what do you think Liu Bei wants?"

Wei Yan was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but there are wise people like Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, etc. around Liu Bei. I don't have any good intentions to send envoys."

"So what the last general means is that no matter what the other party is doing to see the general, it is best for the general to keep him out of the city."

"In this way, the other party's plan can be killed invisibly!"

Wei Yan said.

"The long-term words are reasonable."

Cao Hong nodded and immediately put away his thoughts of meeting the envoy.

"Then it'll be gone."

As he said that, he waved his hand and signaled his guard to retreat.

"Will that general drive away the envoy outside the city?" asked the personal guard.

"No need, just let him stand there."

"Ah?" the guard was confused, "General, is it a bit rude to do this?"

Since ancient times, two armies have fought, but they have not been killed.

And if it weren't for a life-and-death battle, they would often be treated with courtesy.

0    ··Please flowers...

"I just want to use this to clearly tell Liu Bei that no matter what strategy is, it will be ineffective for me, so he should not waste his time." Cao Hong said lightly.

"Yes, my subordinate understands." The guard immediately turned over and went to work on his own affairs.

Cao Hong and Wei Yan continued to inspect the city's defense.

Outside Yiling City.

Zhou Cang still led five thousand troops aside, but he did not scold him anymore. Five thousand eyes were staring at his envoy standing under Yiling City.

I just waited left and right, but I couldn't see the Yiling City Gate open.

Zhou Cang suddenly felt something was wrong. Seeing that the envoy was almost fainted by the sun under Yiling City, he quickly reminded his subordinates a few times and then went to the central army's tent.

As soon as the news was reported, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang blankly.

Meaning.

Military advisor, what's going on?

This plan has not started yet, but it seems that it will be over.

Yes, giving Cao Hong a woman's clothing can indeed anger Cao Hong, but you can't even give him this woman's clothing, so how can you anger Cao Hong?

Fortunately, Zhang Fei arranged a fire-induced object in the forest at this time, not in the big tent, otherwise he would have to say a few more words.

Zhuge Liang was also a little confused.

The matter was completely wrong with what he guessed.

Logically speaking, Cao Hong has a great general. When the two armies fight, they have to meet with the envoys both public and private, right?

This was just closed-door, and he ignored the envoy, and was completely pretending to be deaf and dumb.

This immediately made him sit on wax.

He never expected this to be the case.

"Can it be that Cao Hong had something urgent to do, so he hadn't received the news that we sent to the envoy?" Liu Bei was silent for a moment and made an excuse for Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, but this is possible.

But Zhou Cang poured cold water directly on the heads of the two.

"Lord, military advisor."

"Half an hour before the envoy went to Yiling, Cao Hong personally went up to the city wall to inspect it, and he would definitely not have received any news."

this……

Liu Bei had nothing to say.

I can only wait for Zhuge Liang to speak.

"well……"

"I despised Cao Hong."

After a while, Zhuge Liang sighed and shook his head and said, "It seems that Cao Hong has noticed that we will use tricks to harm him, so he simply locked the city gate and focused on defending the city. He ignored all matters that had nothing to do with defending the city."

"This makes the entire Yiling City solid, although it lacks flexibility."

"It can be seen that Cao Hong is extremely difficult to deal with."

Zhuge Liang praised Cao Hong, but in fact he found a way out for the failure of his first plan.

It was not his plan that failed, but Cao Hong was too smart.

"What should we do now?" Liu Bei asked anxiously.

"Lord, don't be anxious. Since Cao Hong did not receive the envoy, we will find another way to send the women's clothes and letters into the city."

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "Just order people to copy a few more letters and prepare a few more sets of women's clothes. When the night is dark, you can order a strong archer to shoot the letters and women's clothes into the city."

"Okay, military advisor, go and do it quickly."

Liu Bei said with relief.

"promise."

Zhuge Liang nodded, then took Zhou Cang and hurried down to make a letter and prepare a women's uniform.

Night is coming!

The top 100 archers secretly came to Yiling City.

Then he bent his bow and arrow and shot a piece of cloth with letters into Yiling City.
Chapter completed!
