The Restoration of the Great Qin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1227
Liang County.

The army led by Wu Gong and Sun Ce has already arrived in Liang County. Looking at the seven counties of Jingzhou, which is fertile and thousands of miles away, Sun Ce, Zhuge Liang and others' eyes suddenly became green.

Compared with Jiangdong and Jiaozhou, Jingzhou can be said to be a paradise on earth. Even if it was harmed by Zhao Wang Lu Bu, it still cannot hide its prosperity.

This made Wu Gongsun Ce and Zhuge Liang, who were eager to expand their strength, see it. At this moment, a huge cake was placed in front of them.

It is tempting|tempting them, because as long as they get Jingzhou, it means that whether it is Wu Gongsun Ce or Yue Gong Liu Bei, their strength will improve by leaps and bounds.

It was precisely because of this mentality that the Wuyue Chu Allied Forces who had reached Liang County stopped and stopped.

Because only expanding strength is the kingly way of everything, especially Wu Gongsun Ce, he has a deeper understanding of this point.

As the weakest king of the seven kingdoms in the Central Plains, Wu Gongsun Ce's desire for strength is far more urgent than anyone else.

……

"Mr. Kong Ming, in your opinion, can the allied forces defeat Qin Gong Yingfei in one fell swoop when the coalition forces go north?"

No matter who Zhuge Liang is, he naturally sensed Sun Ce's desire for Jingzhou and his monstrous ambitions from Sun Ce's recent actions.

Thoughts flickered, and after a moment of silence, Zhuge Liang deduced in his mind for a while, before turning to Wu Gongsun Ce, said.

"To tell you the truth, Lord Wu, in this battle, even if our army goes north and joins forces with Zhao Wang Lu Bu, I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat Duke Qin Yingfei."

Zhuge Liang swiped his finger on the map, glanced at Wu Gongsun Ce, and said.

"At this moment, Duke Qin Yingfei is defending Luoyang's strong city. Even if he can't hold on, he can retreat to Hangu Pass."

"Hangu Pass has been known as the most powerful pass in the world since ancient times. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is a tendency that one man can hold the pass and ten thousand people can't open it. In the past, the Great Qin Empire used this pass to stop the six countries in the east of the Kanto from moving forward."

"With Qin Gong Yingfei personally leading an army of [-] to garrison Hangu Pass, I am afraid that no one in the world can break it."

……

Sun Ce is decisive with his troops, good at slanting his sword, and has a bold personality.

However, as a king, he has a good vision, and he can naturally see that all of what Zhuge Liang said is possible.

Thoughts were flickering in his mind, Wu Gongsun Ce was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but said to Zhuge Liang.

"Kong Ming, in your opinion, what should our army do next?"

Along the way, Wu Gongsun Ce has seen the horror of Zhuge Liang, so naturally he is quite dependent on him at this time.

"Grand Wu, if you continue to go north, you will only capture a few counties such as Luoyang. Our army of [-] is pointing at the world. How will we share the spoils with King Zhao?"

Although Zhuge Liang was young, his knowledge was far beyond his age. Back then, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Cubs were equally famous and well-known in Jingzhou, but now the Phoenix Cubs and Pang Tong are already famous all over the world.

Although he is an expensive military adviser to the Duke of Yue, compared to Pang Tong's overwhelming power, he is still nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

This naturally made the young Zhuge Liang dissatisfied, because he thought that his talent was not weaker than Pang Tong.

……

Thoughts flickered in his mind, a cold look flashed across Zhuge Liang's eyes, and he said to Wu Gongsun Ce.

"Instead of going north to face Qin Gong Yingfei and compete with Zhao Wang Lu Bu for the land of several counties, it is better to go east and west, and continue north with a large army holding the banner of the commander-in-chief."

"At the same time, our army quickly went south, took Xiangyang directly, joined forces with Hou Cheng and other Zhao troops, defeated 15 Qin troops in one fell swoop, and then divided up the entire Jingzhou."

……

"boom……"

His eyes flickered, and Wu Gongsun Ce's tiger's eyes flashed a gleam, and his heart couldn't help shaking.

Looking at the map, Sun Ce was full of horror and admiration for Zhuge Liang's trick.

"Kong Ming, divide your troops into two groups and go south to surprise the Qin army outside Xiangyang City. How sure are you?"

Sun Ce knew in his heart who the generals of the Qin army outside Xiangyang were, whether it was Wei Liang, Pang Tong, or even Zhou Yu.

Everyone is a great talent in the world, especially in the use of soldiers, everyone is a master in the use of soldiers, and can be called a world-leading commander.

Because of this, Sun Ce was worried in his heart, and couldn't help asking Zhuge Liang.

"To Duke Wu, whether it's Wei Liang, Pang Tong, or Zhou Yu, these three are unrivaled geniuses no less than foreign ministers. I'm afraid this battle will not be easy."

"However, thinking about the sharpness of facing Qin Gong Yingfei, the foreign minister thought that facing Wei Liang and the three of them might be easier, at least there is no need to worry about the danger of annihilation of the entire army."

……

Hearing this, Wu Gongsun Ce's heart was shaken deeply. He knew that Qin Gong Ying Fei's use of troops was like an antelope's horns with no trace to follow. It seemed that he was at a disadvantage at the moment, so it might not be an illusion.

Once the situation in Luoyang City is an illusion, it means that this war is a shocking situation arranged by Duke Qin Yingfei.

Leading the army northward by himself, I am afraid that he will die without a place to bury him.

A thought flickered in his mind, Wu Gongsun Ce took a deep look at Ji Ling, and said.

"General Ji, you will lead an army of [-] to set off from Liang County and march towards Luoyang in the name of Gu. Just control the speed of the march and don't rush to Luoyang as quickly as possible."

"promise."

As Ji Ling was the number one general of the Chu State, and Wu Gongsun Ce did not avoid him in the series of conversations just now, Ji Ling naturally knew what Wu Gongsun Ce meant.

Before going north this time, they had made an alliance with blood, and even Yuan Shao, Duke of Chu, told him to obey the orders of Duke Wu and Sun Ce.

Because of this, Ji Ling did not refute Wu Gongsun Ce, but nodded and agreed.

……

The reason why Ji Ling agreed was because doing so would not affect his interests, and going north meant that the Chu army would not go to war.

If you don't participate in the war, you can participate in the profit sharing after the war. At the cost of only [-] troops, Ji Ling feels that this deal is extremely cost-effective.

……

"Grand Wu, Ji Ling took away [-] troops by himself, leaving only [-] of our army. Even if we go south, I'm afraid we won't be able to crush Qin's army with overwhelming force!"

At this moment, a trace of worry flashed across Zhuge Liang's eyes, and there was a trace of displeasure in the expression he looked at Wu Gongsun Ce.

"Ha ha……"

He smiled softly. In Wu Gongsun Ce's opinion, although Zhuge Liang, the military commander of the Yue Kingdom, was talented and capable, he was too young.

As a result, I don't have enough experience, and I don't see far enough in some things.

……

Thoughts flickered in his mind, Wu Gongsun Ce's laughter stopped abruptly, he smiled slightly at Zhuge Liang who was showing a displeased expression, and said.

"Kong Ming, if we don't distribute [-] troops, not only will the army going north lose momentum, but it will also not be able to convince Ji Ling."

"Only by convincing Ji Ling that our plan to divide our troops this time can be successful. At the same time, only this large army going north can be hidden from the all-pervasive Qin spies."
