Xian Yufu has been wandering near Deyang, and he cannot move without Long Fei's order. He has also heard some things about Jiangzhou, but he can only do it because he is anxious. Although the shadow army in his hand is powerful, the number is not large.
Someone was sent to see that there were not many soldiers and horses in nearby counties and counties, but Liu Bei recruited tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Chengdu, ready to defend Chengdu at any time. Zhang Ren was eager for revenge and kept urging Xian Yufu to send troops to Chengdu, but without Long Fei's order, Xian Yufu
Don't dare to take risks.
On this day, Long Fei suddenly sent someone to notify Xian Yufu, asking him to prepare to sneak into Chengdu. After holding it in the mountains for so many days, the soldiers couldn't bear it. After receiving this order, everyone cheered. Leng Bao said: "Okay!
Entering Chengdu and killing Liu Bei will be regarded as revenge!"
However, Xian Yufu was not happy. He read Long Fei's letter and asked the caller: "My lord didn't tell us the specifics. Why did we sneak into Chengdu?"
The visitor shook his head: "I don't know, my lord, General Yan will understand it when he enters the city!"
After seeing off the people, Xian Yufu began to prepare, bypassing Deyang and dividing the army into several groups, and entered Chengdu city one after another.
This is what Guo Jia calls a plan to pull money from under the cauldron. Zhuge Liang leads a large army to confront Jiangzhou. Instead of dealing with Zhuge Liang, it is better to directly send troops to harass Chengdu. This may not necessarily capture Chengdu and capture Liu Bei. At least it will give Zhuge Liang a threat in his mind and force Zhuge Liang to do so.
Return to the army or fight a decisive battle with yourself. The war in Yizhou cannot be delayed. The longer it is delayed, the greater the threat to Cao Cao from the north.
Zhuge Liang was stationed in Jiangyang for more than a month, almost facing Long Fei's army. Both families adhered to the rule that if you don't come, I won't go. No one attacked first, maintaining this rare calm. Every morning, the Long Army soldiers began to drill.
, Liu Beijun on the opposite side could see clearly. The aroma of Long Jun's food drifted into the opposite camp on the wind, making Liu Beijun's soldiers swallow their saliva.
"Military advisor, it's been a month and Long Fei hasn't called. Is there another conspiracy brewing?" Ma Liang asked.
Zhuge Liang concentrated on studying the map, constantly checking the most likely attack direction of the Dragon Army on the map, but the conclusions he came to were always different. It was not that Zhuge Liang was too stupid, but that Long Fei simply had no rules. Just two moments ago.
During the confrontation between the two armies, Long Fei also sent troops to sneak attack two small counties near Jiangyang. When Zhuge Liang thought he was going to capture them, Long Fei withdrew his troops and went back.
Hearing Ma Liang's complaint, Zhuge Liang stood up slowly and stared at the big tent. Ma Liang lifted the curtain and came in: "Strategic Advisor, I just got the news that Xian Yufu and others who were hiding in Deyang suddenly lost their traces!"
Zhuge Liang nodded: "I know, let's go!"
Ma Liang was about to say a few more words, but when he saw Zhuge Liang's face was not good, he turned to look at Sun Qian who was smiling next to him, and had to retreat. Sun Qian took the opportunity to say to Zhuge Liang: "This is not good news, they will
Aren’t you going to Chengdu?”
One sentence reminded Zhuge Liang, and the long-standing doubts seemed to be solved all at once. Long Fei actually played such a small trick, but Xian Yufu only had a few thousand troops, so what could he do even if he went to Chengdu? Zhuge Liang stepped out of his own way
Handsome case, carefully considered.
Sun Qian continued: "Although Xian Yufu has few soldiers and horses, each of them is a master of martial arts. If placed in a normal army, they would all be captain-level generals. This group of people is ruthless and good at seizing weaknesses.
, if they sneak into Chengdu and cause any trouble, it will be detrimental to us!"
"Gongyou! I have a task for you to do immediately!"
"The military advisor invites you, I will do my best!" Sun Qian acted very humbly.
Long Fei was drinking with Guo Jia in the tent. When they were happy, the two even started drinking. Dian Wei looked on with greed but didn't dare to open his mouth to ask for it. Drinking is prohibited in the military camp, and for a senior person like Guo Jia, The exception was drunkards. The two of them drank several cups of wine, and while intoxicated, they talked about the current war. Ever since they entered Yizhou, Jiangzhou has been the most difficult place to deal with. Yizhou is like a There are two passages in the north and south of the human stomach. The one in the north is bounded by Yangping Pass and Jiange, and the south is bounded by Jiangzhou. After passing these places, you have entered the interior of Yizhou.
The mountains are crisscrossed and the waterways are crisscrossed, so you have to be careful every step you take. With Chengdu as the center, Jiangzhou, Xichong, Guanghan, and Zhuti are his four gateways. Two by two, three and three will take care of each other. If you attack one place, the other two will You will be alert immediately. If you just go deep, your escape route will be cut off immediately on both sides. Therefore, if you want to capture Yizhou, you must first capture at least two cities.
"In the name of filial piety, which one should we win?"
Guo Jia dipped his finger in the wine and drew four points on the table: "This is Jiangzhou, this is Xichong, Xichong, Guanghan and Hanzhong are all bordering Hanzhong in the north, so they cannot fight. It is easy to irritate Ma Chao. Only Zhu Ti It is feasible. Taking Zhu Ti can also cut off Liu Bei's southward retreat, and completely block him in Yizhou for easy annihilation!"
Long Fei nodded: "Yes! We must not let him go. Those barbarians in the south are nothing!"
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Yes, it's not a thing! Relying on the high mountains and dangerous roads, we have repeatedly invaded our border, and the court is unable to govern it. Liu Yan and Liu Zhang are both cowards. Those southern barbarians thought we were afraid of them, so they took advantage of Jianning, which they had already occupied. Yunnan! Alas! What a pity!"
"Don't be discouraged, Fengxiao. Once we take Yizhou, we will deal with them!" Long Fei patted Guo Jia on the shoulder.
Xu Shu walked into the tent holding a roll of bamboo slips and snatched the wine glasses from Guo Jia and Long Fei's hands. He glared at Dian Wei and Xu Chu: "You said you didn't look at how drunk you were? Here we are. It's the front line, if Zhuge Liang attacks at this time, how to deal with it?"
Xu Chu lowered his head in a hurry. Dian Wei felt a little wronged and muttered: "They want to drink it themselves, can we stop them?"
Xu Shu ignored him and immediately asked someone to clear up the banquet. He poured some tea for Long Fei and Guo Jia and watched Xu Shu panting. Long Fei was a little embarrassed and quickly apologized: "I didn't drink much! Just a little!" What's the matter with Yuan Zhi?"
Xu Shu suppressed the anger in his heart and handed the bamboo slip to Long Fei with both hands: "Xian Yufu and the others are already in place. According to our plan, the mission has been assigned. However, Liu Bei has recruited 30,000 soldiers in Chengdu, which is a bit tricky! Also, from Jiangjiang News came from Yang that Sun Qian beside Zhuge Liang has disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown, and his subordinates are trying their best to trace it!"
"Thirty thousand!" Long Fei was thinking in his mind while looking at the bamboo slips. He was a little drunk and felt dizzy when he read the words. He shook his head vigorously: "Liu Bei also has some ability, and he was recruited in just two months. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses, if that’s the case, then change the plan, just let Xian Yufu and the others destroy it, don’t worry about other things, just mess up Chengdu, the more chaotic the better!”
"No!" Xu Shu agreed, turned around and walked out the door. When he reached the door, he turned back and glared at Dian Wei and Xu Chu: "You two take good care of them. If they get drunk, see how I deal with you!"
Although Xu Shu is a foreign minister, he is not as close to Long Fei as Dian Wei and Xu Chu. After all, Xu Shu is older than Long Fei, usually upright and unsmiling, and is respected by Long Fei. Dian Wei and Xu Chu are still a little scared. Fortunately, Long Fei Instead of continuing to drink, he started to drink tea with Guo Jia and asked Guo Jiadao: "Just now Xu Shu said that Sun Qian was missing. What do Fengxiao think?"
Guo Jia shook his head: "It's hard to say! But I think we can't stay here any longer. We have to at least test Zhuge Liang's trump card before talking!"
The weather on the second day was a bit strange. It was sunny and cloudless in the morning, and the breeze was very comfortable on my body. At noon, the dark clouds suddenly closed, the wind blew strong, and a heavy rain poured down on the road. , in the fields and mountains, floods quickly gathered and poured into Liu Beijun's Chinese army tent from behind. In less than a quarter of an hour, the water on the ground was up to their feet. As a last resort, everyone in the tent was Standing on the table and talking like a monkey.
"Let him in!" When Zhuge Liang learned that the Dragon Army's envoy was coming, he straightened his clothes and made a serious face.
It's July now, who knew it would rain so heavily. When the messenger walked into the tent, he was startled at first when he saw everyone's attitude, and then pursed his lips in amusement. Ma Liang felt that the visitor was too rude, so he said angrily : "What are you laughing at? If you have anything to say, please tell me. Long Fei didn't ask you to come here just to laugh at us, right?"
The messenger hurriedly bowed his hands and took out a package from his arms. It was wrapped in oil-soaked paper and placed in his arms. The messenger's whole body was already soaked, but after opening the package, there was no trace of water stains. The messenger He said: "Mr. Zhuge, this is my lord's declaration of war. Will Mr. Zhuge accept it or not?"
Everyone's eyes were cast on Zhuge Liang's face. Without Zhuge Liang's consent, no one dared to step forward to pick him up. Zhuge Liang's face turned white, green, red, and pale. His first reaction As Guo Jia expected, Long Fei was testing himself. If he didn't answer, Long Fei might call at any time. But if he did, he would have to fight with Long Fei. Maybe Long Fei has already begun to mobilize his troops to head towards Coming here.
"When does Long Fei want to fight?"
The messenger said: "We will be at the White Beach in the afternoon three days later!"
"Bring it here!" The messenger waded through the water and sent the letter of war to Zhuge Liang. Without even looking at it, Zhuge Liang picked up a brush and reviewed it, then threw it to the messenger: "Go back and tell Long Fei to come even though he didn't do it well last time. To see the strength of the Dragon Army, you have to take a closer look the day after tomorrow!"
As soon as the envoy left, Zhuge Liang got down from the table. Others could no longer stand on it. They all stood with their feet in the water and did not even dare to show their anger. Zhuge Liang suddenly said: "Everyone, listen to the order! Three In the future, we will fight to the death with the dragon army on the white sand beach, so go down and prepare! Anyone who escapes from the battle will be killed without mercy!" When he said the last words, Zhuge Liang's eyes inadvertently looked at Wei Yan.
