Zhang Fei glared and said, "Didn't the military advisor say that as long as we capture Fushui Pass and Jiameng Pass, our army will win half the battle? Why are you telling me such depressing words now?"
Zhuge Liang said: "My original idea was to seize the two intact Guancheng. In this way, I only need to send thousands of elite troops to defend against danger and block the reinforcements of the Yuan family from Hanzhong from Yizhou. No.
To think that Yuan Xi was so decisive and demolished and burned these two gates!"
Huang Yueying frowned and said: "General commanders will stick to the two levels. After all, there are mountains and rivers with natural dangers."
Zhuge Liang said: "Although the pass is dangerous, our army has the Xuanwu machine beast that you have conquered, so it is not difficult to break through the door. Unfortunately, Yuan Xi, who seems to know our army well, simply demolished the pass and dispersed in one fell swoop. From then on, Yuan Xi seemed to know our army well.
It can be seen that Yuan Xi’s ability to establish such a great reputation in the Central Plains was not due to luck.”
Zhang Fei said: "Both families don't want these two passes. It's not impossible to just have a showdown in Xichuan!"
Zhuge Liang shook his head.
Huang Yueying said: "General Zhang is unaware of something. Losing two natural passes is extremely detrimental to our army. Because our army only has half of Jingzhou as its base, these 10,000 soldiers are already the final strength of the army; but the reinforcements from Yuan Jun are
There will be an endless stream of people heading from Hanzhong to Xichuan."
Zhuge Liang said: "Including Yongzhou, Yuan Xi has occupied eleven of the fourteen states in the world. Our army will use half of the states to fight with Yuan's family and compete for Xichuan. If we can't defend it... the situation will be critical."
Huang Yueying saw Zhuge Liang's frown and persuaded him:
"Husband, don't be discouraged. Now Sun and Liu secretly joined forces, and Sun Ce sent troops out of Hefei, dragging half of Yuan's army in the Central Plains. In Yizhou today, Yuan's army only has 50,000 troops, and our army does not have much disadvantage! Moreover, Yuan Xi
There are no heirs, the time for annexing the prefectures and counties is still short, and the people's hearts have not yet surrendered. As long as we can defeat Yuan Xi and capture him before the reinforcements from Hanzhong arrive, the power of the world is still unknown!"
Zhang Fei said: "Military advisor, it's better to go to Luocheng to rescue my elder brother quickly, lest he fall into Yuan's treacherous plot."
Zhuge Liang said: "With Xu Yuanzhi coming to Luocheng to make plans, there is no problem in defending the city. We don't have to worry. Moreover, judging from the time, Yuan's army to reinforce Xichuan should be arriving soon. Although these two passes were burned, the terrain is still dangerous. It is not as good as
Let's lay an ambush here and defeat the Yuan family's reinforcements first, and then go to Luocheng after temporarily eliminating our worries."
Zhuge Liang then led his troops to ambush behind the ridges on both sides of the Fushui Pass ruins.
Huang Yueying released a wooden bird mechanism beast to detect the enemy's situation; Zhuge Liang ordered Zhang Fei to ambush, and he let his hair down and fought with swords among the central army.
Zhang Fei asked curiously: "Military advisor, what are you doing?"
Zhuge Liang had no time to talk to him, so Huang Yueying explained: "Our army's attack on two passes was originally very secretive, but Yuan Xi's reaction was too fast. My husband believes that Yuan Xi's deep channel technique must have a way to spy on the true and false movements of our army.
Therefore, the magic of praying for blessings was used to obscure the secrets of heaven, so that Yuan Xi could not peep."
Zhang Fei stared at the disheveled Zhuge Liang with big round eyes, feeling a little confused.
Outside Luocheng, Yuan Jun's camp is located.
Bai Xiaowen was in the tent, reading the Taiping Sutra using inner vision, while Ge Xuan was sitting quietly beside him.
Suddenly someone came to report: "My lord, Zhang, Gao Lan, Ma Chao, and Han Meng, the four generals, have burnt the mountains and farmland on the east bank of Fulishui and driven away the people according to my lord's order. We are here to deliver the order."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said: "Okay. In this way, Liu Bei will be unable to defend the city for a long time. The so-called poverty means thinking about change. When he changes, he will come up with a strange plan to defeat it."
Ge Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and let out a sigh.
"What's wrong with the Taoist priest?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Ge Xuandao: "I feel that the image of the Yizhou division is chaotic and unclear. It seems that there are experts who have done it to block the secrets of heaven. But I don't know who did it."
Bai Xiaowen frowned and thought for a while, then took out the geographical map of mountains and rivers and checked for Zhang Fei's traces again.
However, this time it was a failure. There were no red dots on the geographical map of mountains and rivers, as if Zhang Fei did not exist in this world.
"It seems that the person who deceived the secret of heaven is Zhuge Liang."
Bai Xiaowen said firmly, "Zhuge Liang must have deduced the efficacy of the mountain and river geography map in my hand from various clues."
Bai Xiaowen was still very unhappy after Zhuge Liang blocked the plug-in. But there was nothing he could do, because he hadn't finished reading the Taiping Jing and his Yuanli special skills hadn't been activated yet.
[Fortunately, my brother has more than one cheat!] Bai Xiaowen could only comfort himself.
"Do you think Zhuge Liang will come to rescue Liu Bei after deceiving Tianji?" Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "Now it is confirmed that Zhuge Liang is in charge of the Jingzhou reinforcements. So his next move is actually not difficult to guess."
As he spoke, Bai Xiaowen pointed on the geographical map of mountains and rivers, "Our army's first batch of 20,000 reinforcements, led by Han Yang (referring to Han Xu), has marched from Hanzhong to Yizhou. If I were Zhuge Liang, I would definitely be there in Jia
I ambushed in the ruins of Mengguan, defeated the reinforcements, and created an advantageous time difference before helping Liu Bei."
"Zhuge Liang would really do this?" Not only Cecilia, but also Li Shuyi couldn't believe it and asked in the team channel.
After all, Zhuge Liang's ingenuity is so superb that it has become a consensus among the people.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "I said it's not difficult to guess because there are too few cards left for Zhuge Liang. He has only two choices: rescue Luocheng as soon as possible, or ambush Hanzhong reinforcements. Which option has greater benefits? No
Ask and you will find out.”
Bai Xiaowen said again:
"When the two armies confront each other, when the intelligence of the coaches of both sides reaches a certain height, each other's plans have actually been put on the surface, and all the conspiracies have turned into conspiracy. The role of intelligence has been infinitely reduced.
What everyone is fighting for is hard power.
"It's just like in the novel, Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, Meng Da planned to sacrifice the three counties of Shangyong; Zhuge Liang knew that Sima Yi would travel all day and night to defeat Meng Da, but he was unable to do anything, and in the end Sima Yi achieved his strategic goal
, became the trigger for the failure of the first Northern Expedition."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen continued: "This is also true now. If Zhuge Liang gives up setting up an ambush and rushes to rescue Luocheng, then our army's reinforcements will arrive one after another and enter the Xichuan battlefield, and Liu Bei's army will definitely lose."
Bai Xiaowen released the raven messenger and finally concluded:
"Now I ask Lao Han to prepare for an ambush and set up camp temporarily at Jiameng Pass to form a counterattack with Zhuge Liang. Then I can calmly deal with Liu Bei and prevent Lao Han's 20,000 elite soldiers from being defeated by Zhuge Liang's ambush. In fact, if there is no raven,
If the messenger is such an efficient communication method, I can only watch Old Han enter Zhuge Liang's ambush circle, but I can't do anything, just like Zhuge Liang during the first Northern Expedition."
After all, this plug-in given by Shenting is the most effective.
