Han Shimou

Chapter 940 Battle of Xiangyang

That night, Meng Huo summoned all the civil and military personnel under his command to enter the account and discuss.Meng Huo narrowed his evil eyes and asked in a concentrated voice.

"What do you guys think about Xi Chuan's request for peace with our army?"

Jin Huan Sanjie snorted coldly, and hurriedly attended and said.

"As far as I can see, that Liu Xuande is not sincerely asking for peace. After he develops his strength and stabilizes the situation, he will definitely send troops to regain the lost ground. Your Majesty must not believe his words lightly!!"

Meng Huo frowned when he heard this, and was very displeased, so he looked at Yong Kai, Gao Ding, and Zhu Bao again.Yong Kai thought about it for a while, bowed in attendance and said.

"Yizhou's terrain is steep, and it is difficult for people and horses to move. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is really a bad strategy to attack by force. If the king can gain the territory without abolishing a single soldier, it is actually the best strategy to lay down the foundation and then slowly plan the future. Also. According to a certain opinion, you should promise to make peace!"

As soon as Yong Kai's words fell, the displeasure on Meng Huo's face disappeared immediately, and he laughed brightly.

"Haha!! What the public said is exactly what I want!! This matter is hereby decided!!"

Meng Huo immediately made up his mind, Jin Huan Sanjie, Dong Chana and other barbarian generals tried to persuade him to no avail, so he had no choice but to agree.

The next day, Meng Huo called Meng Da to see him and told him his decision.Meng Da was overjoyed, he said his farewell and stepped back, and rushed back to Fushui Pass with Hua Xiong and others to return to his command.

A few days later, Meng Huo also led his army to withdraw from the border of Yongchang according to the agreement, and marched towards the two counties of Zitong and Brazil.Meng Huo marched all the way, because the guards at the various gates had received Liu Bei's orders early and did not stop him.

Let's say that Wenhan withdrew his troops back to Anhan, temporarily stopped the fighting, and the soldiers of all armies rested and recuperated.Suddenly one day, the scout Pegasus reported back and told Wen Han that Liu Bei suddenly withdrew his troops from Fushuiguan and Wangshu County retreated.Wen Han didn't know why Liu Bei withdrew his army suddenly, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he ordered his scouts to search secretly at the junction of Dongchuan and Xichuan, and report back immediately if there was any trouble.The scouts took the lead, that is, according to Wenhan's instructions, they searched for the enemy's situation at the junction of the two Sichuans.

About half a month later, Liu Bei and Meng Huo completed the handover and handed over to Zitong and Brazil counties.Meng Huo himself led [-] barbarians to guard Zitong, and ordered Yong Kai and other Han generals to guard Brazil.The Northwest scouts found it, and reported to Wenhan back and forth quickly.

"What!!! Liu Xuande actually handed over the two counties of Zitong and Brazil to the Nanman people!!!"

When Wen Han heard the news, his sword eyes widened suddenly, murderous and frightening.Those northwest scouts couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat from the murderous aura erupting from Wen Han's body.

Li You's face was gloomy and cold, and his eyes were also murderous, but as a counselor, Li You knew not to act emotionally, so he immediately suppressed his anger and bowed in front of him.

"My lord, calm down. This must be Liu Xuande's plan to drive away the wolves and the tiger! He wants to use the Nanman people to resist our army, and then he will take the opportunity to stabilize the situation in Yizhou. After we and the Nanman are both defeated, we will be ready to move! My lord! Don't fall into the trap, let that thief succeed!"

Wen Han's face was so dark that water dripped out, and his anger rose like a volcano about to erupt.Seeing this, Cheng Gongying rushed to attend and said.

"What the military adviser said is very true. My lord, you must not ignore the overall situation because of a moment of anger! Our army is currently recuperating. If we rush forward, I am afraid that we will lose more than we win! What's more, our army has not many troops available at present. Nanman is in Zitong. , and Brazil’s two counties have [-] troops!”

Wen Han gritted his teeth suddenly, his eyes were red, and there was a kind of madness in his eyes that made Li You and Cheng Gongying's hearts jump.

"How can we allow people from other races to get involved in the land of my great man!! That's the case!! You can quickly send someone to notify Gongming to call in the [-] elite soldiers guarding the realm of Shangyong! In this way, our army will have enough troops to drive them away. Southern barbarians!!!”

As soon as Wen Han's words came out, the expressions of Li You and Cheng Gongying changed drastically.Seeing that Wen Han seems to have lost all reason, Li You hurriedly persuaded him.

"You must not! The four generals guarding the Shangyong realm are precisely to besiege Jingzhou with the forces of Cao Cao and Sun Ce to prevent Jingzhou soldiers from entering Sichuan. If the four generals are transferred, Zhuge Liang will take advantage of the situation to lead troops into Sichuan. Why?"

As soon as Li You's words fell, Cheng Gongying's eyes turned startled, suddenly realized, and hurriedly said to Wen Han.

"As the military adviser said, this is most likely Zhuge Liang's deliberate trick! He expected that the lord hated foreigners very much, so he taught Liu Bei to cede the land, and asked the lord to transfer away the soldiers and horses to fight against the Nanman. Then we can lead troops into Sichuan, help Liu Bei to quickly stabilize the situation in Yizhou, and then wait and see the changes, waiting for the opportunity to move!!!”

"Hmph! Although Zhuge Liang is wiser than monsters, how can he not predict this far! The people of the Southern Barbarians forcibly occupied our Han territory and killed our Han people. The people of Zitong and Brazil counties are in dire straits. Sit back and ignore it! There is no need to discuss this matter, I have made up my mind!!!”

Wen Han was furious, furious, flung his sleeves and turned into the back hall.Li You and Cheng Gongying had never seen Wen Han burst into such a big anger, and they didn't dare to persuade him for a while.

The land of Yizhou was full of blood and blood because of the settlement of Meng Huo, the king of the Nanman.After Meng Huo took control of Zitong County, he indulged his generals and soldiers and plundered Jianyin. Countless people could not bear the humiliation and fled to Guanghan or Dongchuan.Wen Han was furious when he heard the complaints from the people in Zitong, so he sent people to rush to report to Xu Huang, who was in the Shangyong realm.Seeing the suffering of the people, Li You and Cheng Gongying never tried to persuade Wen Han again.

And just as the war in Shu was endless, Wen Han wanted to dispatch troops and generals to drive out the southern barbarians and start another war.Let's watch the battle in Jingzhou in the Central Plains.

In other words, when Cao Cao learned that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had attacked Yu and Xu Erzhou, he quickly dispatched troops to rescue them.Guo Jia led Dian Wei, Xu Chu and other generals, and [-] elite soldiers stayed in Xiangyang to continue fighting Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang learned that Cao Cao had sent troops to Wangyu and Xu Erzhou for rescue, so he mobilized all the strange soldiers who were ambushing in the cities and counties near Xiangyang to Xiangyang City.In the past few days, Jingzhou soldiers and horses from various ministries swarmed into Xiangyang City, and Cao Jun's scouts came to report again and again, scaring all the generals of Cao Jun's army.Guo Jia, however, seemed to have expected it long ago, and remained unmoved.

Five or six days later, Cao Jun's scouts rushed back to the village to report after searching, and it was reported that there were [-] to [-] Jingzhou police soldiers gathered in Xiangyang City at this time!

Guo Jiahao's eyes were like torches, and when he heard the news, he groaned and said nothing. Cheng Yu narrowed his soft eyes like snake eyes, and said in attendance.

"Military commander, right now that army is very powerful, with a large number of people. In Yi Yu's opinion, we should not confront him forcefully at the moment. We will withdraw the camp for twenty miles, and wait for the king to calm down the chaos in Yu and Xuerzhous before marching forward." !"

As soon as Cheng Yu's words came out, Xu Chu's eyes widened strangely, and he attended and shouted in a low voice.

"No! If we withdraw the stronghold and retreat, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou will think that our army is intimidated, and instead increase the spirit of the other army. Our soldiers' morale will also be low because of this, and they will lose their positions!"

While Xu Chu was speaking, another scout came to report that General Liu Jun Zhang Fei had led [-] troops to a high mountain in the northwest corner outside Xiangyang City, and was about to go down to the stronghold.

Guo Jia frowned when he heard the words, and immediately revealed Zhuge Liang's intentions.

"Zhuge Liang sent his troops to the camp outside the city, hoping to form a corner. If we let his camp be ordered, our army will lose the initiative and be pinned down by the other army everywhere!"

Guo Jia didn't stop talking, Xu Chu immediately answered.

"It's so, the military division quickly sent an army to attack to prevent the stronghold from being established?"

Xu Chu's huge tiger eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of war, and the meaning was self-evident.Guo Jia smiled when he heard the words, and then asked the generals under the tent.

"Who dares to lead the army to attack Bizhai?"

"Someone wants to go!"

Xu Chu sternly shouted, and immediately asked Guo Jia for orders.Guo Jia frowned and asked with a smile.

"Zhang Yidefei is an ordinary person, if Huhou wants to go, how many troops will he bring with him?"

"Hmph! That Zhang Yide is just a mediocre man, what can he do? I only need 3000 people!"

Xu Chu snorted coldly, his tiger eyes shone brightly, and he shouted loudly.At this moment, Dian Wei stepped forward, emitting bursts of shocking malice, and said with a wicked smile.

"Haha! If I go, I only need a thousand cavalry to defeat the enemy, why bother three thousand!?"

Xu Chu heard it harshly, and was furious in the hall, and the two began to quarrel in front of Guo Jia.Seeing the two giant evil gods blushing in front of him, Guo Jia was smiling, and suddenly opened his mouth to laugh.

"The two generals are the best generals in the world. They want to serve the king wholeheartedly, so why should they argue? Although Zhang Fei is a man, Zhuge Liang is a resourceful man. He must have a plan to teach Zhang Fei. If our army acts rashly , it is very likely to fall into one of the tricks."

When Xu Chu and Dian Wei heard this, they all frowned and asked in unison.

"If so, what can I do?"

Guo Jia put on an unrestrained smile and said softly.

"If the two generals are willing to work together and listen to my deployment, I have my own plan to break it! But if the two generals want to argue, the plan will be difficult!"

Hearing this, Dian Wei laughed and said with a simple and honest smile.

"Before your Majesty left, you said that all matters in the army, big or small, are decided by the military adviser. How dare we disobey it? Just as the military adviser orders, Wei is willing to obey!"

"Chu is also willing to wait for the military division to dispatch!"

As soon as Dian Wei finished speaking, Xu Chu who was beside him also responded quickly.After Guo Jia listened, his eyes narrowed, exuding a powerful aura, he said in a concentrated voice.

"Zhang Yide is setting up the camp. Zhuge Liang thought that our army did not want the camp to be completed and would launch a surprise attack. Therefore, he will teach Zhang Yide to ambush outside the camp. I will follow the plan. At three o'clock tonight, Zhongkang will lead a light cavalry to launch a sneak attack. Be careful, if you encounter an ambush, don't fight with it, so pretend to be embarrassed, look at the mountains on the right and flee. Immediately, I will lead the army to ambush there to respond. As for the evil, you can lead a soldier to follow Zhongkang Afterwards, when Zhongkang's soldiers are on the mountain, you will detour to look behind his stronghold and catch up. When Zhang Yide leads the army to pursue Zhongkang's soldiers and horses, you will take advantage of the situation and set fire to the stronghold!"

"Huh!!!"

Xu Chu and Dian Wei Qiqi bowed their hands to accept the order, and each went down to dispatch troops and horses according to his orders.Guo Jia's eyes were piercing, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that seemed to be sure of winning.

At the same time, on a high mountain in the northwest corner of Xiangyang City, Zhang Fei commanded troops to build a camp while preparing for an ambush.Suddenly a fast horse came and reported Zhuge Liang's military order.
