The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

When Long Fei and Meng Huo were fighting in Yuejun, Zhuge Liang thought the time had come.Once again led troops out of Chengdu, the goal is still Jiangzhou.This is the east gate of Yizhou, as long as he guards here, no matter whether Long Fei wins or loses in Yuejun, he will be trapped in Yizhou.In addition, taking Jiangzhou also cut off Long Fei's food supply and forced Long Fei to retreat.The third, and the biggest benefit, is that he has a way out of Sichuan. Hanzhong has been acquired by Ma Chao, and Jiangzhou has become the only entrance and exit. If it fails, there is also a way out.

As soon as Long Fei left, Zhuge Liang sent troops from Chengdu. This time he appointed his own man, Wei Yan.He also led the most powerful army in his hands, which was Tai Shici's soldiers and horses during his lifetime.This army was selected and trained by Zhuge Liang himself. No matter in terms of combat methods and combat literacy, it is even worse than those Yizhou soldiers.

This time, the troops were also divided into two groups, and the navy of the other group was given full power to Zhang Fei.The two agreed that they would not give up until Jiangzhou was captured. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei's navy was ambushed by Cai Mao's navy from Jingzhou just after they passed Jiangyang.The two sides were on fire in the middle of the Yangtze River. Cai Mao commanded the water army to charge, scattered Zhang Fei's water army, and then chased and intercepted them. If Zhang Fei hadn't run fast, he might have died in the belly of the fish.

Zhuge Liang rushed to the city of Jiangzhou, only to hear the news of Zhang Fei's water army's disastrous defeat. He shook his head and sighed: "Hey! Such a general is brave but not resourceful, why entrust him with such a heavy responsibility?"

Ma Liang snorted coldly: "They're all wine bags and rice bags, and Liu Bei is also muddy, why should we support them?"

Mi Zhu said: "This matter is locked by the Lord, you and I can't say anything, just do what the Lord wants!"

Ma Liang glared at Mi Zhu.Zhuge Liang waved his hand: "Alright, now that Zhang Fei has been defeated, we are the only ones left. Whether we can win Jiangzhou is very important. If we wait for Long Fei to return to the army, our situation will be even more dangerous! Do you have any news from Tan Ma?"

Ma Liang ignored Mi Zhu, and hurriedly said: "Yes! After Long Fei left, he handed over the defense of Jiangzhou to Gao Shun and Lu Xun. Gao Shun is a general of Lu Bu. He has followed Long Fei for many years and has been training in Xiangyang. He has never participated Great battle, that Lu Xun is just a child, only 15 years old this year, it is unwise for Long Fei to hand over Jiangzhou to these two people!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Long Fei has always been very skillful in employing people, and he was able to hand over Jiangzhou to these two people. These two people must have some advantages. It is better to be careful and send orders! Set up camp thirty miles away from the city, and send people tomorrow Go find out the truth!"

Hearing that Zhuge Liang was coming again, Gao Shun and Lu Xun did not panic.During the Battle of Wuguan, Lu Xun relied on hundreds of soldiers to keep the Xiahou brothers out of the pass. This matter was reported to Long Fei by Wenpin, which caused a riot in Xiangyang.Many people think that Lu Xun is gentle and gentle, and is extremely unsuitable to be a general. This battle gave those people a resounding slap in the face, and made those who looked down on Lu Xun shut up.

Gao Shun was not very optimistic about Lu Xun at the beginning, he always felt that this kid was very bookish and his qualifications as a general were not very good.After the Battle of Wuguan, Gao Shun admitted that he was wrong.From then on, he began to pay attention to Lu Xun. Since he entered Sichuan, many of Lu Xun's ideas made everyone feel novel, and during the discussion, he repeatedly guessed Zhuge Liang's next plan. Everyone was even more surprised and began to admire Long Fei's unique vision.

Gao Shun asked Lu Xun, "Bo Yan, Zhuge Liang is making a comeback this time, what do you think we should do?"

Lu Xun was neither surprised nor angry: "General, Zhuge Liang must have felt that the lord went to Yuejun to resist the Nanman, and believed that Jiangzhou had an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he reorganized the army and horses to make a comeback. If this is the case, why don't we show the enemy's weakness, and then look for opportunities to destroy it?" Of?"

"Oh? How to show the enemy's weakness? How to break it?"

Lu Xun said: "Last time Zhuge Liang suffered a big loss, this time he must lead elite soldiers. Zhang Fei's navy is just a decoy, we don't need to care about it at all. Now we have limited troops, we can resist for a while and then retreat, guarding the river. State, wait for the lord's reinforcements!"

Gao Shun thought for a while: "We have already occupied the surrounding prefectures and counties. At this time, the retreating troops and the people are suffering? If it is the lord, I am afraid that I will not do this!"

Lu Xun said: "Zhuge Liang has an army of [-] this time, while our army is only [-]. We have to divide our troops to defend the surrounding prefectures and counties. In this way, our forces will be dispersed a lot. If we give up, Zhuge Liang will need to divide his troops to defend. It only takes [-] troops to defend Jiangzhou, and the rest can sneak out of the city at night and constantly harass Liu Bei's army in the surrounding prefectures and counties, so that Zhuge Liang dare not attack with all his strength! Only in this way can we hold him back, as long as the lord wins the Nanman, Zhuge Liang is sure to lose!"

What Lu Xun said was straightforward, no matter from the situation of the enemy and ourselves, the strength of both sides, and the transition of offense and defense, it was almost a complete battle plan.Without waiting for Gao Shun to ask again, Lu Xun continued: "Zhuge Liang is good at strategizing, but he is more than cautious and lacks boldness. His general Wei Yanyong is not enough, and he is not good at planning. What's more, he is leading the army of Tai Shici, and the soldiers are not familiar with it, so it is difficult to achieve great things! On the other hand, we, the general is calm, can sit in Jiangzhou, and I will lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to sneak out of the city, looking for opportunities to attack the surrounding prefectures and counties, and take the opportunity to cut off Zhuge Liang's grain road, and the grain we found from the rich households in the city is enough for the entire city's people to live Half a year is no problem! Based on this alone, Jiangzhou must be safe!"

Gao Shun nodded: "Sounds good! So Zhuge Liang must be defeated?"

Lu Xun smiled: "The last general is just talking about his own thoughts, everything is up to the general's judgment!"

Gao Shun looked at Lu Xun, his handsome face was calm, his thin body stood there like a bamboo pole, with no beard under his jaw, and he spoke softly.If you wear women's clothing, you are not much different from a big girl.It's just such a child who pretends to be the whole world in his mind, and it can be said that he is planning a strategy to win thousands of miles.No wonder, Long Fei betrothed his eldest daughter Long Ying to him. This was to find an invincible general for Long Sheng to rely on.

Gao Shun shouted: "Okay! Based on Bo Yan's words, whether Jiangzhou City can be held or not depends on Bo Yan!"

Wei Yan, riding a tall horse with a big knife in his hand, wandered back and forth under the city of Jiangzhou. Behind him was Tai Shici's cavalry brigade, with a number of about [-].These soldiers are indeed elite, each with big shoulders and round waists, where they stand still, it can be said that they stand like pine.With these soldiers as the backing, Wei Yan has a lot more confidence.

Pointing at Jiangzhou City with a big knife: "Tell Gao Shun to come out, Grandpa, I will chop him alive!"

There was no movement in Jiangzhou City. The soldiers stood on the high wall in an orderly manner, staring at the front, and the archers were already on standby. The posture clearly told the visitor: None of us went out to challenge you, but Don't even think about attacking the city, as long as you get close to the city wall, I will shoot you without discussion.

What Wei Yan yelled was that his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, and the soldiers who were scolding were also exhausted and exhausted.Zhuge Liang gave the order not to retreat until dark, so Wei Yan simply asked people to move Xiaoji, and started drinking and eating meat under the city of Jiangzhou in front of the soldiers of the dragon army on the city.With a wave of his hand, he asked his cavalry to dismount and rest.The outside of Jiangzhou City has become a huge free market.

There was still no movement in Jiangzhou City, Gao Shun lay on the table and looked at the map intently.Someone broke in without notification.Gao Shun looked up and recognized him as a captain of the infantry.He was already the third person to ask for a fight. Before the man could open his mouth, Gao Shun arrived first: "Talk about something important, and go out immediately if you have nothing to do. Anyone who dares to speak out and send troops to the army!"

The school lieutenant didn't dare to say anything before he opened his mouth. Long Jun's chances are very strict.The orders issued by the general must be carried out unconditionally, unless all your subordinates are killed in battle, apart from these, no other orders may be disobeyed.The captain knew that Gao Shun was not joking, he sighed and turned to walk out the door.As soon as one foot was stepped out, Gao Shun was heard talking again.

The captain hurriedly stopped, Gao Shun didn't even raise his head: "Trespassing the commander's tent without permission, you know what the criminal law is, go and accept the crime yourself!"

For three or four days in a row, no matter how challenging Liu Beijun was, there was no movement in Jiangzhou City. No one spoke to them, and no one went out to fight.

"Military division, this is their tactic to slow down the troops. The purpose is to confuse us and wait for Long Fei's reinforcements. We should take them as soon as possible. The provincial Long Fei's return to the army is not good for us!" Ma Liang began to analyze the battle situation: "Long Fei is in Yuejun The more we fight, the more courageous we are, we have already lost two battles in a row, and we may return to the army at any time, we should plan early."

"What good solution does Ji Chang have?" Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Liang.

This sentence stopped Ma Liang from asking, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.If you siege the city, you will definitely lose a lot, but if you don't siege the city, you can't win Jiangzhou.Ma Liang pondered for a long time, but could not speak out.Mi Zhu smiled slightly: "Jiangzhou City has tens of thousands of dragon troops. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Fighting hard will definitely not work, and the only way is to outwit!"

Zhuge Liangliang nodded: "Lord Mi is telling the truth. If we want to capture Jiangzhou, beware of Long Fei's counterattack. If we attack with all our strength, we will naturally suffer heavy losses. We will not be able to fight Long Fei. I have ordered people to open fire!" Dig the tunnel, and when the time comes, they will enter the city without anyone noticing."

"The prime minister is brilliant, and his subordinates admire him!" Mi Zhu understood the world better than Ma Liang, and his speech was more pleasing to the ear.

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "I heard that during Cao Yuan's battle at Guandu, Yuan Shao's tactic of digging tunnels was defeated by Long Fei. Although this strategy is good, it cannot guarantee whether there is a device to detect tunnels in the city. It’s not working, so we have to prepare with both hands!”

"Hmm! A surprise attack all the way, a feint attack all the way, so Gao Shun didn't know and didn't have time to give policy instructions!" Ma Liang got ahead of Mi Zhu this time: "Prime Minister Gao Ming!"

Because of this order, Wei Yancai, the vanguard officer, stayed at the gate of Jiangzhou for more than ten days.And Gao Shun was not idle, and began to make arrangements in the city, and the tunnel was the most critical item.
