The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 336 The changing situation
"Gongjin, Wenhe, Liu Bei is now avoiding the battle. Although he has lost his strength for a while, it can also be seen that he is capable. If so, what should our army do?"

Seeing that Liu Bei refused to fight, Wei Tao naturally had no choice but to return to the camp.

In fact, as far as common sense is concerned, all Wei Tao can do at this time is to attack the city. As the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose.

It's just that at this time Wei Tao's troops were more than defensive, but not aggressive enough.

Originally, Wei Tao wanted to divide his troops to defend Xiangyang and Jiangling, and to further guard against Cao Cao and Sun Quan. The remaining troops in his hands were not many, and it was not suitable for war at all.

Now that he is in a hurry to start a war with Liu Bei, it is also to prevent himself from becoming encircled. If he really wants to capture Changsha like this, it can be said that it is very difficult, very difficult.

"Then Cao Cao and Sun Quan are not easy to deal with. Although they have the intention of mobilizing troops to fight, it is not necessarily impossible to give our army a blow in the back. They really have to guard against it. And if our army keeps confronting Liu Bei, It is inevitable that there will no longer be people who practice the art of combining vertical and horizontal, and then Gong Jin's strategy will become an empty plot!"

Wei Tao's words are true. After all, although Wei Tao's strength can be regarded as the number one today, Wei Tao's focus is always on defending against foreign enemies, and it is impossible to mobilize all the soldiers.

Why does Wei Tao come to battle in person every time before the battle? You must know that Liu Bei and Cao Cao were also generals before the battle.

It is precisely because the sword in front of the battle has no eyes, one mistake may lead to death.

In fact, except for Lu Bu and Wei Tao, all those who have subordinates and generals rarely do this, and after Lu Bu surrendered Cao, Wei Tao was the only one in the whole world who did this.

Without him, Wei Tao's behavior is to boost morale and suppress the opponent. The leader will go to battle, and the army's morale will be sure. Because of this, Wei Tao can repeatedly defeat the strong with the weak, and win the many with the few.

But because of this, Wei Tao also felt a headache when he met Liu Bei, who was so tolerant. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't be the first to attack the city.

"My lord, there are only a few ways to siege the city. With Liu Bei's forbearance and Zhuge Liang's prudence, I am afraid that our army will not be able to take advantage of it. Therefore, our army must make plans."

At this moment, Zhou Yu spoke after thinking for a while.

"My lord, based on what I see now, I want to break Changsha, but I need to defeat Zhuge Liang first. There are four counties in Jingnan. Except for Changsha, the three counties have never had any generals stationed. My lord can send Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Zhang Xiu to lead each of them. Let an army attack and harass it, not to capture its city, but to disturb its heart!"

Hearing this, Wei Tao nodded his head in agreement, and calling the three people was to order them to lead their own headquarters.

The news of the three counties in Jingnan soon reached Liu Bei's ears, and Liu Bei naturally wanted to look at Zhuge Liang.

"My lord, this is a tactic to lure the enemy. The current situation is like this. It is naturally urgent for our army, but it is also not easy for the general."

Zhuge Liang was sure after just one glance, but just this is not what Liu Bei wanted. Liu Bei just asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Kong Ming, you know what's going on now, what do you think our army should do? If we hold on like this, no matter whether Wei Tao wins or loses, our army will not be able to return to the north and help the Han Dynasty to rule the world."

Liu Bei had to worry about it, wandering for half his life, Liu Bei can say that until now he has the chance to help the Han Dynasty to unify the world, even if Liu Bei himself can bear it, but under such temptation, it is impossible to bear it for too long when.

Zhuge Liang naturally discovered this, but he could only be silent about it in his heart. In any case, Liu Bei was the lord he chose, and after a series of things, Liu Bei also trusted him very much, so that Zhuge Liang was also promoted. Aroused the heart of confidant.

"Of course I understand what my lord means. Liang now has a plan to break Wei Tao."

As the so-called scholar dies for his confidant, Zhuge Liang felt Liu Bei's kindness in knowing him, so naturally he would not begrudge his own wisdom in the slightest, so he said it right away.

"Wei Tao is now under the city, sending various troops to attack Guiyang and other counties. Firstly, it is to use this to disturb our army, and secondly, it is a tactic to lure the enemy. But this is also a conspiracy, after all, it is indeed a conspiracy. The act of dividing the troops, if the lord does nothing like this, I am afraid that he can really only guard his ears."

Zhuge Liang didn't reveal his plan immediately, but first spoke for Liu Bei. After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei realized that this was indeed the case, and that Wei Tao was indeed trying to seduce him.

"What Kong Ming said is not bad. At this moment, if I don't attack again, I will indeed be a coward. However, Kong Ming knows the truth and falsehood. Please teach me."

Liu Bei's tone was very sincere, which made Zhuge Liang quite moved, and Zhuge Liang immediately leaned over and said.

"Your Majesty treats me with sincerity. How dare you continue to plan evil? Wei Tao dares to do this now because our army is numerous, but not as elite, and the two sides are evenly divided in terms of strength. That's it. See its plan. If you want to break it now, you should attack it positively, and use it as a surprise..."

Not long after Zhuge Liang made a plan for Liu Bei, Liu Bei gave the order, and then immediately ordered Ma Chao to lead the army out of Changsha, as if to fight Wei Tao.

"As Gong Jin said, Liu Bei has no choice but to send troops. It's just to let me see what Liu Bei can do. All troops, follow me to fight!"

This plan was a risky plan, but Wei Tao also had confidence in himself, so he knew the plan and followed it. Hearing Ma Chao's arrival, he immediately led the battle.

"Ma Mengqi, do you still dare to come now?"

Ma Chao just led his troops here, and when it comes to the strength of the troops between the two sides, Ma Chao is far behind Wei Tao, but Ma Chao is still the fearless Ma Chao of the past, seeing Wei Tao leading the army out of the camp, he did not Without the slightest fear, he came straight to Wei Tao as soon as he hit the horse.

"Wei Tao! You took Xiliang from me in the past, and I will avenge it today. The whole army will follow me!"

Although Ma Chao only led his own troops, these troops were all Xiliang iron cavalry. In terms of strength, they were originally one of the best troops under Liu Bei's command, so even if Ma Chao gave such an order, he did not have the slightest fear, and Qianqi charged forward accordingly.

"What a Ma family boy, didn't you know the strength of our army in the Xiliang war in the past? Good! Today I will let you know that you are not only inferior to me in martial arts, but the cavalry under your command is far inferior to mine!"

At this time, Wei Tao also seemed to have become angry. Regardless of his disregard, he directly ordered his subordinates to launch an offensive. The thousand-man cavalry followed behind Wei Tao and charged towards the opponent without hesitation.

As for the other soldiers, they didn't move at all, they just saw the two armies charge, but everyone's face showed trust in Wei Tao, even if they charged with one army, they believed that Wei Tao could win the final victory.

The two torrents collided fiercely, and many people fell to the ground in an instant.

"clang!"

In a split second, Wei Tao and Ma Chao handed over each other, and the powerful force made the two of them tremble slightly.

But when the two armies passed by each other, Ma Chao's face turned livid.

There were about 300 people who fell under Wei Tao's command, but the number of casualties in Ma Chao's headquarters was almost double that.

Ma Chao's headquarters are no longer the Xiliang army of the past, not to mention Ma Chao's status in Liu Bei's army is not comparable to that of Xiliang.

In this way, no matter how Ma Chao got Liu Bei's attention, he would not be able to arm his soldiers as much as possible as he did when he was in Xiliang.

The former Xiliang iron cavalry has long since lost its former glory.

If Liu Bei's army is just like this, then Ma Chao came to die.

Neither Zhuge Liang nor Liu Bei would do such a thing, but at this moment, they saw the two armies rushing out of Changsha City. The leaders were none other than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Wei Tao, take your life!"

Zhang Fei's temper was as violent as ever. After seeing Wei Tao, he immediately urged his horse to attack. Although Guan Yu was silent, his horse under his crotch was not slow at all, walking quietly like a green praying mantis. Always be ready to strike.

Originally, a charge was to let Wei Tao break away from the rear. Although it only took a few moments to unite with the rear, he lost his indomitable momentum after all.

However, at the same moment, Wei Tao felt even more suspicious.

"Refueling tactics? Even if Zhuge Liang didn't know the disadvantages of this tactic, how could Liu Bei do it so easily given his experience in many battles? I'm afraid there is some mystery in it. But even if there is any mystery, so what? Can't I Break it yourself? What's more, Zhuge Liang, you have a plan, and we also have a plan."

To this day, Wei Tao has experienced countless battles, and he already has the aura of the world's number one general. How could he be afraid of some little trick?
Thinking for sure in his heart, Wei Tao immediately yelled loudly!
"All officers and men obey orders! Follow me to kill!"

From when Wei Tao saw Guan and Zhang rushing to lead the army, to when Wei Tao gave orders directly, everything happened between lightning and flint.

As soon as Wei Tao gave an order, he didn't hesitate, and the leading army went straight to kill Guan and Zhang, without any sign of fear at all.

And at this moment, Zhou Yu, who was in the rear army, swept his eyes away, showed a faint smile, and then gave the order.

"Give me an order to separate two armies, surround them from both sides, and meet the lord. The front army advances and attacks Ma Chao's troops, and the rest of the armies stand still."

It is Wei Tao's righteous brother, who has been in the army for a long time. Before that, Wei Tao clearly asked Zhou Yu to command the army, so although Zhou Yu's order was a bit surprising at this time, no one dared to disobey it. The soldiers followed Zhou Yu's order one after another.

If it goes on like this, then Wei Tao's army will be on the outermost side, and Liu Bei's generals will be in the middle, and Wei Tao will be in the center of the core.

And at this time, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei also appeared on the top of the city unknowingly. Looking at the battle in front of them, Zhuge Liang immediately saluted Liu Bei.

"My lord, the plan is feasible, and I'm [-]% sure that I can injure his army."
