Chapter 810 In the hall, who are you talking about?
Chapter 810: Who is talking about matters being discussed in the hall?
Obviously, no one will answer this question.
But after Zhuge Liang said this, several people with rich battlefield experience, such as Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei and others, suddenly understood the function of this small iron piece nailed to the horse's foot.
"I asked why Cao Jun's horses were so fast on the steep slopes? So it was the function of this thing?"
Zhang Fei, who was reluctant to recall his previous defeat, finally had to think about it carefully.
The head-to-head confrontation was fine before, but once he ordered to distance himself from Xu Chu and ordered the army to retreat, things went wrong.
Xu Chu seemed to be flying over, and it took him only a few breaths to arrive behind him.
Including the cavalry around him, his own cavalry was not incapable of fighting the opponent, but no one expected that the opponent was so fast——
In this way, one after another, one after another, one's own defeat becomes a certainty.
Now…
Zhuge Liang finally figured out why Cao's cavalry was able to improve by such a rapid pace in such a short period of time.
But... the more this happens, the more gloomy the gloom that hangs over Zhuge Liang's heart becomes.
"Yes... just such a gadget can actually make Cao Jun's cavalry stronger. At least in this battle, we found it too late -"
Zhuge Liang sighed.
However, I did not forget what I should do.
"Go ahead and order the horse breeders in the army to study this thing more. If it is feasible, we must make equipment with similar effects as soon as possible. It's okay to fall behind in this battle. If we can't catch up with Cao Jun in the future, we will
You will be trapped underneath forever—"
After Zhuge Liang said this, everyone basically understood Zhuge Liang's current mood.
Yes, Zhuge Liang has given up hope in this battle.
His greatest hope is to inflict more blows to Cao's army in the remaining period of time.
Later, Zhuge Liang explained to everyone the letter he had received from Chengdu, and predicted the future changes in their relationship with Liu Zhang with the worst plan.
"If Liu Zhang has really discovered our plan, no matter what method it is, when we enter Sichuan in the future, we can only rely on frontal attacks."
"The only thing I'm worried about now is people like Zhang Ziyang and Fa Xiaozhi - they haven't heard any news yet, maybe they have been captured by Liu Zhang - if so, this letter is Liu Zhang's conspiracy. As long as we are not prepared enough,
Once you enter Kawachi, you will probably be surrounded by the enemy."
Zhuge Liang took out his feather fan after a long absence - when he was thinking, he would shake the fan so gently, regardless of the severe cold or scorching heat...
Seeing Zhuge Liang gently shaking his feather fan and shaking his head, Liu Bei felt a lot more at ease.
Because if this is the case, it means that their situation is not yet desperate.
"General Huo Jun, how much surplus food does the army have? I remember that when I asked Liu Zhang to deliver military food, I reserved it for many days in advance - if our surplus food can last for at least ten days, I still have a way to make Cao Jun pay a heavy price
price."
When he said this, Zhuge Liang's eyes were extremely firm.
Now that there is no more psychological pressure, he is still the same Zhuge Wolong after all - aloof and proud, confident and powerful.
There is only one person who can compete with him in strategy and make him surrender in terms of command on the battlefield. Apart from that, he has no fear.
Well, so early on, Zhuge Liang sent people to quietly infiltrate Nanzheng City, trying to confirm whether the Cao Army counselor who came to the Hanzhong front this time was Yi Xiaotian?
It was only the strategy of Dingjun Mountain that made Zhuge Liang feel the presence of Yi Xiaotian, but other than that, Cao Jun's step-by-step approach did not seem to be as oppressive as imagined.
His game with Yi Xiaotian really impressed him deeply.
The kind of atmosphere that makes people breathless, fearful, and sleepless at all times is completely different from the current situation.
"Have the spies who went to Hanzhong come back?"
Zhuge Liang suddenly asked, and Huang Zhong on the side immediately nodded in affirmation.
"Not long after we arrived at the camp, the military advisor wants to summon the spy?"
"Let him come -"
——
"What did you say?"
"Cao Cao only brought two advisers with him on this trip?"
"Well...no...that's right...if what the people in the city said is correct, apart from Cao Cao, there are only two people who have been in and out of the prefect's mansion in these days - but Cao Cao's station is too heavily guarded.
No further observation is possible."
"But there is news that one of the two counselors is named Xun You, and he is one of Cao Cao's cronies——"
"Hmm...it turns out to be Xun Gongda - Cao Cao's mastermind."
The spies answered Zhuge Liang's questions accurately. Everyone lined up on both sides respectfully. The camp was still quiet at this moment. Although there were soldiers coming and going outside the tent, the aftermath of today's battle had obviously been eliminated.
"Xun Gongda? This person should not be underestimated. I heard that his talent and learning are not inferior to Xun Lingjun's. If he were in Hanzhong, we would still be in a lot of trouble!"
Zhao Yun was a little surprised. He would not easily underestimate the literati and Confucian scholars in Cao's army. Unlike some generals with explosive tempers, Zhao Zilong could be said to be both civil and military. For those with excellent minds, even if the opponent cannot fight, he
They will also be respectful.
The appearance of Xun Gongda's name obviously caused a commotion.
However, Zhuge Liang just smiled lightly and attracted everyone's attention:
"It doesn't matter. Even if Xun Lingjun and Xun Gongda arrive in Hanzhong together, there is still no need to worry too much."
"At least...this Dingjunshan plan is unlikely to be the work of a low-key and cautious person like Xun Gongda."
Zhuge Liang pointed his feather fan at the spy in the field, nodded at him, and continued to ask:
"Well, there's another person. Let's talk about it. From your tone, that person shouldn't be Yi Xiaotian, right?"
"As the military advisor said... the other person seems not even familiar to the well-informed people in Nanzheng City - it is said that he is a young talented man from Jingnan named Jiang Gongyan, whose name is "Wan"..."
The spy continued to answer like this, kneeling in the middle of the field, feeling a little nervous.
He felt that he might not have found out the real news. He had never heard of who Jiang Wan... was.
"Jiang Gongyan?"
Zhuge Liang suddenly frowned, squinted his eyes, and his feather fan began to shake very fast.
This means that his mood is somewhat complicated.
The fact is that Zhuge Liang has some impression of this name, but in his impression, there is no other candidate for the name of Jiang Gongyan in Jingnan except a young man with a certain reputation.
But...it's obvious that there are still people in the room who know the name Jiang Gongyan very well.
Wow——
The dishes and wine cups on the table were spilled all over the floor, and many fragile items were smashed to pieces. This commotion naturally attracted everyone's attention.
"Prefect Liu! General Liu! Do you two have any objections?"
Zhang Fei glared angrily and shouted at the two ugly-looking people at the end of the table.
Of course the people who were yelled at trembled and looked extremely frightened, but even so, the most difficult fact for them to accept at the moment was——
"How could it be him?"
Liu Du, Liu Xian, father and son sighed in unison.
