The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 729
In Jiangling, the commander-in-chief of the Shu army.

Liu Bei sat on the main seat, Zhuge Liang sat beside him, and under them were a group of generals from Shu who came to Jingzhou for the Eastern Expedition. The faces of all the people were not good. It was obvious that they had heard that Yuan Shang brought the soldiers who threw the country into their hands. Quite frightened.

Liu Bei is obviously also very scrupulous about Yuan Shang's large-scale military action. He once imagined that Yuan Shang might take advantage of the opportunity to raise troops when he was about to destroy Soochow, but he did not expect that Yuan Shang would take the lead with his sword and rush to stalemate with the Wu army. Send troops when the outcome is hard to tell!
In this way, although it is not safe to send troops after the winner is decided, it has a miraculous effect.

At least, for the current situation, although the Shu Kingdom and the Wu Army have stopped fighting for the time being, they still present an opposing posture. For this situation, they cannot come up with a specific solution, showing a clear trend of the three barriers.

After a long silence in the commander's tent, Liu Bei glanced at everyone, and then slowly said: "Yuan Shangju's soldiers who poured out the country, his intention is to unify the world, and his ambition is not small. What can you do to deal with it?" ?”

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

But it's no wonder that Yuan Shang brought all the soldiers of the country, millions of people, and marched by land and water, and the momentum was overwhelming. Faced with this rare and rare situation, if ordinary people can figure out a way by scratching their heads, then it is really bullshit .

Seeing that there was no sound from the crowd, Liu Bei subconsciously turned his head in Zhuge Liang's direction.

Zhuge Liang was swaying his feather fan and was thinking carefully. When he saw Liu Bei looking at him, he immediately began to express his opinion.

"My lord, Yuan Shang came here this time with an army of all-powerful soldiers. He is so powerful that he wants to complete his achievements in one battle, but because of this, he must be careful in his actions, so it may be difficult to let him show his flaws all at once. Therefore, the most urgent thing is to See tricks and disassemble them, and break them in order!"

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Then according to the opinion of the military adviser, how to see and dismantle the trick?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and said: "Yuan Shang came here this time, and under his command are Sima Yi, Tian Feng, Jushou, Xun Chen and many other powerful advisers. These people, looking at the world, are all top wise men. When they arrive in Jingzhou, there must be A clever trick."

Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "What kind of trick is it?"

Zhuge Liang was silent for a while, and then he said slowly: "As I expected, according to the cunning of Yuan Shang and his men, Xichuankou must be taken! It is used to cut off our food road. Difficult, once the Xichuankou waterway is cut off, then our Eastern Expeditionary Army will be in danger, and this matter must be investigated."

Hearing this, Liu Bei thought for a while, and said: "Now at the Xichuan Pass, there are generals such as Huang Quan and Feng Xi leading the navy to garrison. According to the intention of the military adviser, but should we add troops and horses to garrison?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Reinforcement is inevitable, but the person who leads the army must have a deep strategy, otherwise it is definitely not the enemy of the cunning Yuan Shang."

After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang turned his head, looked at everyone, and said slowly: "I want to choose a capable man to lead the army to the west, the governor Xichuankou waterway, and prevent Yuan Jun from cutting off my food road. This is an important task related to the comfort of the entire army. , who would like to go?"

When Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he saw that one of them stood up, bowed his hands to Liu Bei and Kong Ming, and said, "Ma Di is willing to go."

When Ma Su finished speaking, all the generals in the tent couldn't help but look at each other, Zhuge Liang was a little surprised, and Liu Bei frowned slightly.

After a while, I heard Zhuge Liang swaying his feather fan and saying: "Young master, guarding the waterways of Xichuankou is of great importance, and it is related to the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our army. If you are negligent, all soldiers in our army will die. You Although it is a deep strategy, but the waterways are complicated and there is no city wall, it is extremely difficult to defend, I am afraid I will lose it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei nodded, expressing his agreement with Zhuge Liang's opinion.

Seeing this situation, Ma Su became anxious and hurriedly said: "My lord, a military adviser, I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, and I know the art of war quite well. Although the Xichuan waterway is safe and must be defended, how can I not defend it?"

Liu Bei said slowly: "Young master, I know you are eager to make contributions and have the heart to share my worries, but Yuan Shang came here this time, and all the people under his command are famous generals in Hebei and Central Plains, I'm afraid you will be invincible! "

Hearing this, Ma Su knelt down hastily, and said: "Xiu Dao is a famous general in the Central Plains of Hebei, even if Yuan Shang goes there in person, I am not afraid of him. If you can't win, I pray to kill the whole family."

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he said: "Young master, there are no jokes in the army."

Ma Di said decisively: "I would like to issue a military order!"

Having said all this, it is naturally impossible for Liu Bei to stop, otherwise it would have chilled the hearts of the generals, and Kong Ming then asked Ma Sui to write a military order and submit it.

After the delivery, Kong Ming said: "I will send [-] elite soldiers to you, and I will send another general to help you."

After all, after looking around, Zhuge Liang called the general and said to Chong Chong: "I know that you have been cautious all your life. Although you lost against Lu Xun and others before, you did not lose, so I entrust you with this important task. You can be careful to help Ma Di garrison Xichuankou, and don't make the rebels eager. Everything should be discussed and done, not lightly. If there is a plan, please inform the lord and me as soon as possible. The first skill is also. Stop it! Stop it!"

Ma Di took the military order and went to order troops happily. Liu Bei immediately announced that the account would be disbanded. What, but if you think about it carefully, it is a bit too negligent, with Ma Di's ability, I am afraid that he may not be able to guard the Chuankou of the Shu Road."

Zhuge Liang heard the words and said: "My lord, although Ma Di is young, he has deep strategies and is familiar with military books. He is indeed a talented man, and he should be entrusted with important tasks."

Liu Bei frowned, and said, "Otherwise, in my opinion, this person always exaggerates the truth, and the feeling of talking about war on paper may not be of great use."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said, "My lord, let's filter it."

*********************
However, Ma Su led the troops and headed straight for Xichuankou on the Shu Road. After arriving at the water village by the river, he immediately met with Huang Quan, Feng Xi and others who had been leading the Shu army's water army to guard here.

After seeing each other, Ma Di immediately Zhuo and others led him to visit the water village. After seeing the boats, he couldn't help feeling blessed and came up with a clever plan in his heart.

He immediately called for a few people and said: "A certain man has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he knows strategy well. This time guarding Xichuankou, he is determined to win! Now the Northern Army is not good at water warfare, but the advantage lies in the large number of people. It cannot be won without a strange strategy. After watching the water fortress, I thought hard about it, and I will definitely defeat Yuan Jun!"

Everyone hurriedly asked about Ma Di's strategy.

Ma Di smiled and said: "In the big river, the tide ebbs and flows, the wind and waves are endless, and many waterways are noisy, so it is not easy to defend. If Yuan Jun sneaks in and passes by, the gain is not worth the loss. If we can match our army's large and small ships today , or thirty in a row, chained from end to end with iron rings, and broad boards on top, so that people can cross, horses can also walk, and they can block Yuan Jun horizontally, so what is there to fear?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but someone said to Chong: "Joining the army means setting up a series of chain battlefields?"

Ma Su nodded, "Of course."

On the other side, Huang Quan hesitated for a while, and then said eagerly: "Joining the army, the method of linking warships with iron chains, although it sounds good, but after all, no one has tried it, and the advantages and disadvantages are hard to guess, so I came here rashly." Ce, are you a little too anxious?"

Ma Di shook his head and said: "If you keep breaking, you will be subject to chaos. If you have a good plan but don't dare to use it, it's a plan without a decision. If you don't do it sincerely, my plan will definitely work. Don't doubt it, just follow the order." yes!"

********************
Ma Di built a series of warships, and Sima Yi led three generals Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin up the river, and led the water army to go straight to the mouth of Xichuan on the Shu Road.

Seeing that it was about to reach Xichuankou, a scout ship reported that the Shu army had sent a brigade Yuan Jun to block all the waterways of Xichuankou.

After hearing the news, Sima Yi couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly consulted with Zhang Liao and others.

Sima Yi sighed, and said with emotion: "Zhuge Liang, sure enough, there was something wrong. We just set up a plan to cut off the grain road in the middle of Shu. He had expected it a long time ago. He sent someone to stop it so soon. He is really my strong enemy!"

Below Sima Yi, Zhang Liao smiled slightly, and said, "Strong enemy? Isn't that true? I think Zhuge Liang is much stronger than you. I don't think you are seen by others at all."

Sima Yi was furious when he heard the words, and said: "What nonsense! Who am I, Sima Yi? The number one counselor under the Yuan family! Looking around the world, there are only a handful of people who can be regarded as a strong enemy by me! If I can be regarded as a strong enemy, he is the ancestor of Zhuge Liang. Burned high incense for eight lifetimes! He dares to look down on me, I'll bah!"

Li Dian shook his head and said: "Now it's not about whether Zhuge Liang thinks highly of you or not, but that the other party really wants to be one step ahead of us and send people to occupy Xichuankou first. If we want to seize the Liang Dao, do we have a good chance of winning?"

Sima Yi shook his head: "The other party has already prepared, how can it be so easy? Besides, these soldiers under our command are not very good at water warfare. Those who are good at water warfare have been taken to Soochow by Gan Ning. A strong enemy is purely courting death."

Le Jin thought for a while, and said: "We divide into three groups, and fight each other like horns, how about it?"

Sima Yi curled his lips and said, "The force of the horns? Do you think this is a land battle? How can there be so-called horns in a water battle? Once the ships disperse, they will all be smashed one by one. It's useless!"

Zhang Liao said: "Then we sent a strong team to steal it?"

Sima Yi was even more disdainful: "Steal it? What do you do after stealing it? Waiting to die behind the enemy? We are here to cut off the Shu army's food road, not run to other people's grain road and let them cut it. You run behind him, Have you eaten or drank? You can’t die! Have you ever read the Art of War?”

Li Dian was furious when he heard this.

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. Then let's just surrender to Zhuge Liang and be my younger brother!"

Sima Yi took a serious look at Li Dian, and said, "Do you really think of yourself as a sweet potato? It's okay for me to surrender. The three of you are second-hand goods that surrendered from others. Zhuge Liang didn't just pick up rags. What do you need these broken shoes for?"
