Chapter 223
Zhuge Liang looked at Li Yan, who was still bent over and raised his head like a shrimp, smiled and said: "General, please get up quickly, Rong Liang said carefully."

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and finally stood up.

At this point, the king of Yi, Gao Ding, had gathered almost all the soldiers from Yueyi County, and it was too late to say anything.

At this point, he also wanted to hear what Zhuge Liang had to say.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward, with a smile on his face, he and Li Yan put their arms in front of the screen.

Facing Zhuge Liang's sudden kindness, Li Yan seemed a little at a loss, and his gait and posture seemed a little stiff.

There is a map hanging on the screen, which is the topographic map of Nanzhong revised and perfected by Liu Chan.

"Military division, why did our army enter Yueyue, and the marching speed was deliberately slowed down. We also took Anshang and attacked Beishui, lest that Gaoding would not know that our army was going south?" Li Yan directly asked the doubts in his heart, "I just learned about Gaoding The army from three sides has gathered to attack, why is the military division laughing?"

If Zhuge Liang's words were all perfunctory words, he will definitely report to the king afterwards and count his crimes in detail.For such an important event, even if the king wants to favor the military division, he will definitely...

"General Li once fought Gao Ding, how is his ability to govern the army?"

"Ah?" Li Yan was thinking, he was stunned for a moment by Zhuge Liang's question, and then he seriously thought about it, "Gao Ding doesn't know the art of war, doesn't know the strategy of war, and he is not very clever in commanding the army.

"The barbarians rely on their blood and courage to fight, not their experience. Once they leave the familiar environment, they will be vulnerable... But this time, our army came from afar..."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and smiled: "Hehe, it's okay. Liang still has a question, but I dare to ask General Li. As for leading troops, the more the better?"

Li Yan immediately shook his head: "In ancient times, the Marquis of Huaiyin is the only one who dared to say that more troops are better..."

Having said that, he seems to understand a little bit.

"The military division said..."

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "This king of Yue Yi Yi can't command thousands of troops like his arm, and he has no rules in marching and fighting. Now it is said that the number of troops from the three groups is less than [-]. Even if it is doubled, why is Liang afraid? "

Li Yan Nianxu nodded slightly, but still frowned and said: "Even so, our army still missed the opportunity to win quickly, and put ourselves in danger..."

"This delay is precisely for the sake of quick victory."

Zhuge Liang's light words made Li Yan feel that his train of thought was a bit behind. He wondered whether it was his ears that had a problem, or his understanding of the Chinese language.

Slow travel and quick victory, these two words have opposite meanings, right? !

Seeing Li Yan's face about to be driven crazy, Zhuge Liang no longer kept the joke, and said with a smile: "If you follow what General Li said before, of course you can quickly capture Qiongdu and kill Gaoding...but what about after that? The army is scattered all over the country, the fire in the north of today's county is extinguished, and the fire in the south of Ming county is started.

"If you treat him preferentially and appease him, he feels that you are weak and deceitful. If you suppress him with force, you will be exhausted all day long, procrastinating for a long time, and the consumption will be huge. In this way, soldiers will not be able to disarm, and people will not be able to return to their fields. How can we talk about development if the mu is deserted?"

Li Yan looked surprised. Obviously, he hadn't considered such a long-term thing before.

Zhuge Liang walked to the front of the map, where a few red dots had already been marked with a red pen.

Looking at it at this time, it is actually the location of the Gaoding troops, obviously he has already understood the deployment of Gaoding's troops.Not only that, but there are also several arrows and marks drawn on it. Obviously, the military division has already deduced Gao Ding's possible route of attack.

"I came here a few times before, I was thinking about it, but I didn't pay attention..." Li Yan looked at this map that had obviously been studied repeatedly, feeling ashamed in his heart.

"Benevolent but not virtuous, increase power and become more rebellious, why?" Zhuge Liang's feather fan pointed to the largest red dot in the direction of Qiongdu, and said solemnly, "It's all because the battle has not been completed. If you want to subdue the beast, you must first do it Only by binding its fangs and sharp claws can it be tamed with kindness."

Li Yan's eyes gradually lit up.

Then Zhuge Liang's expression softened again, and he said with a smile: "As for the consumption of food and grass, we will move slowly, and the food road will be short. Many people will die of illness.

"Liang let the high-ranked people run on this rugged road, but our army rested for many days, and most of the soldiers have adapted to the water and soil here, with abundant physical strength and high morale. Now we are waiting for work at leisure, and we will use our skilled troops to train. How can you be invincible when you hit Gaoding's exhausted mob?"

Li Yan bowed his hands and saluted: "A military division is strategizing, and a decisive victory can be achieved thousands of miles away. Strictness is not enough. Now that I have heard the military division's high opinion, Yan is convinced."

Zhuge Liang hurriedly helped Li Yan up, and pulled him to look at the map again: "The barbarian army on the South Road has Qingqiang cavalry to help them. If we fight in ordinary places, our army will still have some troubles. But here in Beishui, there are dangerous mountains in the south. You can die now. The young general Gao Xiang led three thousand troops, guarding this dangerous point, can resist the enemy's soldiers on the south road."

Li Yan nodded.

"The soldiers from the North Road came from the cattle. Although there are tens of thousands of people, each department is not under the leadership of each other." Zhuge Liang waved his hand lightly, as if to shake off some dust. With three thousand soldiers and horses, we can annihilate the enemy in the wild."

"Uh..." Li Yan said, "A military adviser is a minister of the king's arm and arm. How could he be in danger? Why don't I go to meet the enemy. The military adviser only needs to sit in Beishui and think that he will respond. He strictly decides to take the enemy and dedicate his head to the military adviser."

"Hehe, Liang believes that the general can behead the enemy general, but if the general goes north." Zhuge Liang pointed to the west, "but who will go to the enemy's Gaoding?"

"This..." Li Yan showed surprise on his face.

"This is a gentle valley. Today, Gaoding must pass through here when he comes from Qiongdu. The weather is hot today, so Liang guessed that he must rest here." Zhuge Liang pointed to the southwest of Beishui, "General can lead The remaining soldiers and horses rushed westward, spreading hay in the valley.

"There has been no rain in the past ten days, and the sky is dry. The general can wait for him to set up camp. He will first set up ambushes at the mouths of the east and west valleys, and then attack them with fire..."

hiss--

Li Yan sucked in a breath of cold air. In this way, not to mention Gao Ding, even if the Overlord is alive, he may also be buried in the sea of ​​flames...

However, there is one thing wrong.

Li Yan moved his eyes, cupped his hands and said: "Military division, Yan has little talent and little knowledge, such an important event should be handled by the military division. It is better to lead the troops to the north, and the military division to the west..."

He also felt that this fire attack strategy was foolproof and would surely win easily.

But the more so, the more he couldn't take it.

If this plan is successful, it will be the first achievement of the West Route Army. How could he, Li Yan, steal the limelight from Zhuge's army division? In that case, even if he didn't deliberately wear small shoes for himself this time, there is no guarantee that he will not be like this next time.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang smiled and waved his hands: "Liang's martial arts are low, not as good as the general's bow and horse. If there is a mistake in the plan, wouldn't he be in danger? This move is to protect his own safety. Why is the general so unreasonable?"

"..."

No fool would believe this, but Li Yan really didn't understand why Zhuge Liang gave himself a great contribution for nothing.

I am Dongzhou faction, he is Jing...

Before he was allowed to think again, Zhuge Liang's eyes focused on the distance, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, as if he remembered something.

When he spoke again, there seemed to be a lot of emotion in his words: "I am a commoner, and I plowed among the long acres. The king didn't think that Liang was despicable. I misused it until now. It has been ten years since I came. Liang fought with the king. From north to south, from east to west, we have gone through twists and turns to get to where we are today.

"Your Majesty's kindness and trust are very generous, and the salary is very generous, and there is nothing to repay... I have always been happy and sleepy all night, and the only thing I want to do is to kill the thieves and destroy Wei, and help the King to help the country! Apart from this, there is no other daydream. I also hope that the general will work together, Let's work together!"

These words first narrated the experience of these years, and then suddenly confessed his feelings impassionedly. Li Yan looked directly at Zhuge Liang's clear eyes like a hot-blooded boy, and had to admit that he was moved.

At the same time, with Li Yan's intelligence, he naturally understood the hidden meaning of these words.

He, Zhuge Liang, is very senior and has made a lot of contributions. The king already regards him as his arm, so what else can he contend for?
The Northern Wei Dynasty is powerful and dominates Kyushu. What's the point of us all fighting for this small cake in the southwest corner?Why not work together to make the pie bigger?

At that time, no matter Jingzhou pie, Dongzhou pie, or even Yizhou pie, there will be cakes to eat. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

Li Yan, who understood the meaning, couldn't help but wonder if he really lost his vision and misunderstood him...

After saying some words, Zhuge Liang suddenly took two steps back and bowed his hands to Li Yan.

Li Yan was shocked.

"I am too ashamed!" He was so ashamed that he hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhuge Liang, knelt down on one knee and said, "The military commander is far-sighted, and it is difficult to deal with any eventuality! Strictly go and defeat the enemy army, so as to live up to the military commander's kindness, the king entrusted him !"

"Okay, okay!" Zhuge Liang helped Li Yan up, and said with a smile, "After you and I have cleared Yueyi, we will send troops to the east to surprise the prince, huh? Hahaha..."
