Chapter 146 Strategic Vision

"Before today, if someone asked me what is the funniest novel I have read this year, I would give many answers, but I never thought it would be Romance of the Three Kingdoms. But after today, I have only one answer, and that is Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I'm dying of laughter right now, I never thought that the prime minister would be so funny, it's just too funny!"

This is the first sentence that appeared in the group after the latest three chapters were updated, and it also represents the aspirations of all readers.

No way, this plot is really old joke.

In the plot updated yesterday, Cao Cao was defeated without any surprises. Because all the preparations in the early stage were perfect and meticulous, even the most angry prime minister's party readily accepted this defeat.

They can only lament that the prime minister is really turbulent, and it is unreasonable for him to be undefeated in this battle.At the same time, if this battle is won, then the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is estimated to end here.

So although the prime minister's party suffered a disastrous defeat yesterday, and the entire Chibi was in flames, the surprise is that all readers' emotions are quite stable, and everyone knows in their hearts that the updated plot on the second day should be the aftertaste of the climax. Everyone should Collect what you have gained.

Sun Quan won a big victory and took half of Jingzhou. Liu Bei also won a big victory and took half of Jingzhou. Cao Cao gave up Jingzhou in embarrassment. The two sides faced each other again on the border of Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou Yes, that's basically the plot.

The next step should be quite stable. No one thought that Liu Xu could come up with any tricks at this time in the chapter where the two sides devoured their own interests, but the facts proved that Liu Xu not only did it, but also made all the readers Almost happy silly.

It turns out that at the beginning of the chapter, Cao Cao was really miserable.

First met Lu Meng in Wulin, Cao Cao had to leave Zhang Liao behind to resist Lu Meng.

Then Ling Tong came, but fortunately Xu Huang arrived in time, knocked again and met 3000 soldiers and horses. It seemed better, but he met Gan Ning. Of the 1000 soldiers and horses, there were only [-] left, and there were two more. General was killed.

Cao Cao could only continue to run away, but he didn't expect to meet Lu Xun and Tai Shici. Thanks to Zhang Yun's arrival at this time, he survived, but Zhang Yun was also thrown behind to kill him.

When Liu Xu read this paragraph, he felt very miraculous. Cao Cao successively left Wenpin, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Yun to give him his own queen. As a result, none of the three died, and they became Shu Han and Dong Wu respectively. The nightmare is really very miraculous.

Fortunately, no one was chasing and intercepting him, and he fled all the way to the west of Wulin and the north of Yidu. At the same time, Jingzhou was in front of him. Cao Cao couldn't help laughing out loud. Liu Xu described that the laughter , startled the birds in the surrounding empty stream.

The generals around were all disheveled. Seeing that their prime minister was still laughing, they immediately asked in puzzlement, "Why is the prime minister laughing?"

Then Cao Cao uttered the classic line, "I don't laugh at others. I just laugh at Zhou Yu for his lack of strategy and Zhuge Liang's lack of wisdom. If I am using troops, I will lay down an army here in advance, what can I do?"

As a result, Cao Cao's voice fell, and Zhao Yun came out directly. Cao Cao was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse, so he had to let Xu Huang and Zhang Ying, two unlucky guys, block Zhao Yun, and he just ran away.

Chapter 1 ends here.

In fact, it’s good that this chapter has been updated. Most of the readers haven’t had time to laugh. Only some readers complained, “Did the Prime Minister be scared out of his wits? He still said such things at this time.”

But soon the prime minister came out and explained, "No, how could the prime minister be so superficial, there must be a reason for him to speak like this!"

"Why?" asked the others.

"This..." The prime minister's party became dumb all of a sudden, but fortunately Xiuyan helped them out in time and said, "Cao Cao did have a reason for doing this, and it was very witty."

"Think about it, Cao Cao's 83 troops were almost burnt out by the Yangtze River, and the remaining defeated soldiers were chased and killed by Soochow's soldiers for so long. Their energy and spirit must have declined to the extreme. After running away for one night, they must hope to get some spiritual comfort at this time."

"So the prime minister deliberately said such things at this time, the purpose is to boost morale, who would have thought that Zhuge Liang would still arrange a team here." Xiuyan said.

"That's right! That's right! That's right!" The Prime Minister's party immediately echoed, completely forgetting that Xiuyan is actually the leader of the Huangshu Party.

However, the discussion about the prime minister's laughing is only one paragraph. Everyone is more concerned about the fact that Zhao Yun who appeared last is so handsome. After all, almost half of the entire Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel group is Zhao Yun's fans.

At the same time, someone felt sorry for the prime minister and said, "The prime minister is too kind. If the archery was ordered in Changbanpo, how could there be such humiliation today!"

"Wait, I remember that in the chapter updated yesterday, Zhuge Liang seems to have arranged three groups of troops!" A reader said, and everyone realized that yesterday actually described what happened after Zhuge Liang escaped from Zhou Yu's barracks .

After Zhuge Liang merged with Liu Bei's army, he had already concluded that Zhou Yu would win this battle, and then began to arrange manpower. Three of them were aimed at Cao Cao. From now on, arrange Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to go to three positions to intercept Cao Cao. .

"Do you think the prime minister will meet Zhang Fei and Guan Yu next?" The readers were taken aback when they saw this sentence, and then began to mourn for the prime minister.

Regarding the plot of Zhuge Liang's arrangement of his troops, most readers focus on how Zhuge Liang predicted the enemy's opportunity and how he was invincible. He dispatched Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun successively to calculate Cao Cao's escape route. Toughly, playing with Prime Minister Cao between applause.

Few people will notice that Zhuge Liang actually arranged two other teams.

Along the way, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, and Liu Feng were asked to drive their boats and go around the river to capture the defeated army and seize various military equipment.

On the other side, Liu Qi was ordered to defend Wuchang. The task was also to capture the fleeing soldiers, but not to let Liu Qi leave Wuchang.

In Liu Xu's view, these two orders are the most important, much more important than what Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun were ordered to do before.

First of all, the most important task is the task of Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, and Liu Feng, which is to capture the defeated army and seize military equipment.

Finally, a famous librarian once said that the most important skill in combat is how to preserve one's own vitality while annihilating the enemy's vitality.

So what is vitality?

Just people!
Many generals and emperors, what they like to do most is to expand their territories, as if how many territories they have won is such a great thing.

But in fact, talent is the most valuable thing.

This point can be seen by comparing the strength changes between Liu Bei and Soochow after the Battle of Chibi.

Before the Battle of Chibi began, Liu Bei had only an army of less than 2 left, but Soochow had an elite army of 5, which was far stronger than Liu Bei.

But after the Battle of Chibi, Soochow hardly gained any territory. On the contrary, Liu Bei almost swallowed the entire Jingzhou.

what is the reason?Could it be that Zhuge Liang's scheme really pissed Zhou Yu to death?
Of course not, it is because after winning this battle, Soochow exhausted its own strength, and only 3 or [-] of the elite troops of [-] to [-] were left. Said to swallow the entire Jingzhou.

On the contrary, Liu Bei's army quickly expanded to about 6 after the Battle of Chibi, so he could quickly take down Nanjun and Jiangling and other major cities in Jingzhou in Jiangbei, and at the same time, he still had the strength to send another army to capture them. Jingnan four counties.

Because after the Battle of Chibi, the military power between Liu Bei and Sun Quan has undergone tremendous changes, and Liu Bei has more soldiers.

Where did the 6 soldiers who suddenly appeared come from?

The answer is Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, and Liu Feng. It is said in the novel that Zhuge Liang gave them the task of capturing the defeated army. To translate it, it means capturing a large number of captives, capturing all the soldiers who were scattered by Cao Cao, and then turning them into his own soldiers.

It is actually impossible for a fire to burn 83 people to death. After all, people have two legs. If they run with all their strength, they can't escape the flames?

So except for a small number of soldiers who were really burned to death, most of the rest of the soldiers fled in all directions, which gave Liu Bei the opportunity to directly capture the captives.

At the same time, it is impossible for these soldiers to escape with all kinds of military equipment, and Zhuge Liang has another order, which is to let them seize all kinds of military equipment. These are all kinds of military equipment that Cao Cao has accumulated for most of his life. In the end, the equipment was all cheaper for Liu Bei.

So what is Soochow doing at this time?

Their army and generals are chasing and killing Cao Cao, wanting to get the greatest credit visible to the naked eye, but they don't know that the real wealth is actually hidden in the scattered soldiers and military equipment that no one cares about.

This is also the reason why Liu Bei became the most powerful force in Jiangnan after the Battle of Chibi. It was because of the Battle of Chibi that Liu Bei swallowed almost all the benefits.

Zhou Yu was just a wage earner who sacrificed a lot of his strength to help Liu Bei drive Cao Cao away, but he could not get any practical benefits. This is why Zhou Yu was pissed off later, and at the same time, Sun Quan hated Zhou Yu very much. Zhou Yu won the tactics, but made a fatal mistake in the overall strategy.

On the contrary, Prime Minister Zhuge saw clearly the real benefits of the whole battle. He first sent Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Guan Yu to intercept Cao Cao.

But in fact, everyone knows that Zhuge Liang didn't want to kill Cao Cao at all. He did this to show Soochow.

Tell Soochow that I am actively cooperating with your actions and actively cooperating with you to capture Cao Cao. I even sent out the three strongest generals under my command. You can't say that I sent a few unknown generals to salvage some spoils There is a problem!

As for Liu Qi on the other road, it embodies Zhuge Liang's dark side.

First of all, Zhuge Liang asked Liu Qi to guard Wuchang, which seems to be a good job, but in fact Wuchang is the only place Sun Quan must pass through to attack Jingzhou. Holding Wuchang is equivalent to blocking Zhou Yu's way to win Jingzhou. This is a very important strategy. Importantly, can Zhou Yu take the opportunity to win Jingzhou?

This is to let Liu Qi and Zhou Yu confront each other, and let Liu Qi consume his direct lineage power to take the blame.

Another point is that many people ignore one point.

Cao Cao's army in Chibi can be divided into two parts in total, one is the soldiers and horses brought over from the north, and the other is the troops from Jingzhou in the south.

After Cao Cao's army in Chibi collapsed, his soldiers would flee in two different ways.

The soldiers in the south would flee directly along the banks of the Yangtze River, and then they directly encountered Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, and Liu Feng. Because Liu Bei was already considered a native of Jingzhou at this time, there was no psychological barrier for these soldiers to surrender to Liu Bei. Because Liu Bei can go home directly if he surrenders.

The soldiers and horses fleeing from the north must go to Hefei through Wuchang, which is on the only way for Liu Qi. Although Liu Qi can also use this route to capture soldiers.

But each of these soldiers wanted to go back to their homes in the north, so how could they stay in the south to serve as soldiers with peace of mind, so even if Liu Qi surrendered these soldiers, it was impossible for them to stay with peace of mind. In the end, these soldiers would just flee.

In this way, the 2 soldiers in Liu Qi's hands could not increase. After Liu Bei digested the entire Jingzhou surrendered army and had an army of 6, Liu Qi would no longer be able to pose any threat to Liu Bei. Liu Bei really has the power to dominate Jingzhou.

This is the huge impact that Zhuge Liang issued in just an hour after taking advantage of the east wind, which had a huge impact on the entire subsequent situation.

It can be said that such an order directly laid the foundation for Liu Bei to win Jingzhou and then march into Yizhou. This is the strategic height
