Chapter 507 Divination
Last year, Huo Jun defended Yiling alone with hundreds of people, and successfully blocked the Three Gorges Rebellion Army ten times larger than himself.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang's eyes were on him, Huo Jun didn't look away, and secretly groaned in his heart, knowing that most of the military advisers wanted him to guard Yichun.

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang said to Huo Jun: "Zhong Miao is good at defense, and he is the best choice to guard Yichun. I wonder if Zhong Miao would like to?"

"A military commander has an order. I dare not disobey. I am willing to support the army." Huo Jun is a steady man with general knowledge, and he is not a rebellious person. Although he is full of reluctance, he obediently accepts orders.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "With Zhong Miao sitting in Yichun, the army can have no worries."

Then Zhuge Liang got up and came to the hanging map of Yuzhang, and said to the generals: "The soldiers of Yuzhang are all gathered in Nanchang, and the west is empty. Yichun is the barrier to the west of Yuzhang. Once Yichun is lost, the counties in the west will be like the ones on the Zushang. Meat, before Sun Ben reacts, we should send troops to attack the counties as soon as possible, and go straight to Nanchang."

"Ziming," said Zhuge Liangliang, named Liu Liang, pointing to the map, starting from Yichun, heading east along the Nanshui River until entering Jiangxi, with two counties of Hanping and Xingan along the way, "Tomorrow you will lead the cavalry as the front of the army. If the two counties of Hanping and Xingan are willing to surrender, you will take over the city defense, and if you keep behind closed doors, you will come back and report to me."

"No." Liu Liang stood up and responded.

Then Zhuge Liang looked at Huang Zhong, then at Cai Sheng, pointed to the Shushui in the north of Yichun, and the two counties of Shangcai and Jiancheng on the north bank of the Shushui, and said to Cai Sheng: "Hongchao, don't send five thousand steps tomorrow. Riding, crossing the Shu River in the north, taking the two counties of Shangcai and Jiancheng, and then joining forces with me on the Gan River to attack Nanchang."

"No." Cai Sheng was delighted to have the opportunity not to lead the army and to be alone.

Zhuge Liang looked solemn, faced the generals, and said solemnly: "The generals have tens of thousands of people, and they will act as bait to attract the attention of the enemy and create a good opportunity for us. Yichun is about to leave today, and the road ahead is smooth. There is no retreat, no advance, enter and conquer Nanchang, and destroy Sun Ben, in order to repay the general's special kindness."

"No." The generals said loudly.

…………

Nanchang, county government.

Since Liu Jing led his troops to the east and landed in Chaisang, bad news came back one after another, without giving Sun Ben any time to breathe.

First Pengze fell, then Liling fell, and finally even Chaisang fell.

Sun Ben did not dare to expect too much, and only hoped that Tai Shici, who was surrounded, could break out of the encirclement. As a result, the next day, he received the news that Tai Shici was defeated and fled to Ai and Xi. Almost all of his [-] troops were wiped out.

This time, Sun Ben finally couldn't hold back anymore, and couldn't help complaining about Cao Cao Liu Yidao: "If Liu Jun hadn't stopped me from leading the army to the north with the excuse of 'the county general should not be moved lightly', how could the situation in the north have deteriorated so much? Waiting?"

Hearing his words, Liu Yi fell into silence for a while, seeing Sun Ben's expression was extremely serious, it really didn't have the slightest bit of self-knowledge!

Since Liu Jing started his army, he has won hundreds of battles. Chu and Yue have no opponents. Tai Shici, a famous general in the world, is even difficult to stop Liu Jing's soldiers. Why does Sun Ben think he can resist?
Fortunately, there was no need for Liu Yi to explain himself. As soon as Sun Ben finished blaming Liu Yi, he received the sad news that tens of thousands of troops from Jingzhou invaded Yuzhang from Changsha and Yichun fell.

Facts have proved that Liu Yi's suggestion was correct, and even saved Sun Ben's life invisibly. If Sun Ben had not listened to his advice and insisted on leading the army to the north, what would happen now?
There is a high probability that the west and south of Yuzhang will fall, and the county government of Nanchang may also be lost, and Sun Ben will be attacked by the Jingzhou army... It makes people shudder to think about it.

Sun Ben didn't care about being ashamed at this time, and hurriedly apologized to Liu Yicheng and asked about countermeasures.

After reading the information sent back from Yicheng, Liu Yi pondered and said, "There are few soldiers in the west of Yuzhang. Once Yicheng is lost, Yu County will be unable to defend itself. It won't be long before the enemy troops will follow the river to Nanchang. It is too late to recruit soldiers from all directions."

Sun Ben couldn't help but nodded, and Liu Yi said again: "Especially Han (Dang) Le'an, Jiang (Qin) Ge Yang, and Pan (Zhang) Jianchang, all three are fierce generals in Jiangdong, brave and good at fighting, and they are enough to rely on for the Ming government. , the Ming government can send an order to the three of them to lead troops into Nanchang as soon as possible to defend against the enemy."

Sun Ben said again and again: "What Liu Jun said is very true, I will write a letter to call the three of you here."

Liu Yi continued: "The enemy's attack came from the land, and the military method of 'surprise, attack' did catch us by surprise, but there are mountains between Changsha and Yuzhang, and grain transportation is not easy. It is far less convenient than the waterway. Yichun is actually a transit hub for grain roads. The Ming government can ask Sun Luling to send troops to attack Yichun from behind and cut off the Chu army’s grain road. It's a fight."

After listening to this, Sun Ben sighed and said: "When I heard that Yichun was lost, I was worried and at a loss. Now that I have listened to Liu Jun's plan, I can finally feel at ease. With Liu Jun to advise me, why not be able to repel the intruders? .”

Although Liu Yi looks confident on the surface, he is very pessimistic about the future in his heart. Unless Sun Quan's reinforcements from Wudi can defeat Liu Jing, it will be difficult to preserve Yuzhang...

Just as Sun Ben was begging for help, Zhuge Liang and Cai Sheng marched eastward along the South and Shu Rivers respectively. Only Xingan tried to defend the city against it.Zhuge Liang led the crowd to conquer them for a day, and then went north to join forces with Cai Sheng to kill Nanchang.

However, Sun Fu, the prefect of Luling, received a letter from his elder brother Sun Ben, and was shocked when he learned that Yichun had fallen, and hurriedly recruited the military commander Liu Dun.

Liu Dun is a native of Pingyuan County, Qingzhou. He traveled to Luling to escape the war in his hometown. He is not only knowledgeable, but also proficient in astronomy and divination. Whenever there is a flood, drought, or even banditry, he can know in advance and point out the source.

Sun Fu was amazed by Liu Dun's ability to know beforehand, and appointed him as a military adviser. The whole army respected his ability and called him a "god".

As soon as Liu Dun arrived, Sun Fu immediately got up to greet him, and told Liu Dun the whole process of his elder brother Sun Ben asking him to send troops to raid Yichun, and said: "Military division, please do a fortune-telling for me. It's fierce."

After seeing Liu Dun's supernatural powers, Sun Fu gradually became superstitious about divination. Every time he dispatched troops, he had to ask Liu Dun for divination.

Liu Dun nodded slightly when he heard the words, and used the "Liujia Guxu Method" for divination. When the result of the divination came out, Liu Dun explained to Sun Fu: "Jia Yin Xun, Zi Chou is lonely, noon is empty, enter from the north. From the hexagram From the looks of it, the military disaster did indeed originate in the north."

Sun Fu asked: "Then is this hexagram good or bad?"

Liu Dun was silent for a long time, and sighed, "It's fierce!"
