Chapter 349 Looking for Opportunities

"Master, there is news from Yizhou."

"Tay!" Liu Qi stood up and said.

"My lord, the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhuge Military Division have been trapped in Yizhou. Zhang Ren, the general of Yizhou, led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to surround the army in Zitong County, and it is possible to attack the army at any time." Yang Ling bowed.

"So fast?" Liu Qi was slightly shocked. He had long known that there might be a war with Yizhou this time, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Lord, General Zhao has led 2,000 flying dragon guards to pick up the response first, and General Gan asked the lord for support. The Sword Pavilion and the Hundred Prison Pass have been controlled by our army and can enter Yizhou at any time." Yang Lingdao.

"I know." Waving his hand, Liu Qi turned his head and looked at Wei Yan and Zhang Lu and said, "Wei Yan and Zhang Lu are listening to the order."

"The end will be!" Zhang Lu and Wei Yan came out with a shock all over their bodies.

"The matter of Hanzhong is up to you two. Stabilize Hanzhong as soon as possible and lead the troops to help me." Liu Qi took a deep look at Wei Yan and Zhang Ludao.

"No."

"Yang Ling, order Jingzhou, ready to go to war with Yizhou at any time." Liu Qi said.

"No."

Outside Nanzheng City, banners are beckoning, and 30,000 Jingzhou troops are ready to go. Yizhou is different from Hanzhong. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses can capture Hanzhong, but Yizhou, which has a large number of soldiers and generals, is a little overstretched. Moreover, the general of Jingzhou has not yet arrived at this time. This time, Liu Qi is only ready to take Zhuge Liang's army, and then stand firm in Yizhou and wait for Jingzhou's reinforcements.

As soon as the 30,000 troops left, there were only 10,000 Jingzhou water troops left in Hanzhong. Most of the other soldiers and horses were soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, but the soldiers and horses under Wei Yan's command had been expanded to 10,000, which was enough to deal with the remaining forces in Hanzhong.

The situation in Yizhou is not much different from that of Jingzhou at the beginning. Although it can't expand its power, it is more than enough to protect himself. Therefore, Liu Qi dares not be careless at all. In history, Liu Bei had the momentum of victory, and the generals under his command were almost in Yizhou, and even Fengchu died in Yizhou. Although Liu Qi had been prepared for this, he was not sure.

Fengchu suffered a loss in Yizhou at that time, which led to his own death. Will Wolong also suffer a loss in Yizhou and lead to defeat? According to the intelligence, the number of soldiers and horses in Yizhou has exceeded 50,000 at this time, and it is still increasing, while the number of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou is only 30,000.

Although these 30,000 soldiers and horses are all elite in Jingzhou, the grain and fodder that goes deep into Yizhou cannot be supplemented, and they have long been exhausted after a long journey. If there is a head-on war with Yizhou, even Liu Qi has no confidence to say that Jingzhou will win.

"Don't worry, Lord, the general will definitely calm down all parts of Hanzhong within ten days, and then lead the soldiers and horses to help the Lord." Before the army, Wei Yan bowed solemnly.

"Well, don't be too impatient. It's not the time to go to war with Yizhou. General Zhang has been in Hanzhong for more than ten years. Is there anything you don't understand? Liu Qi nodded. Now that Wei Yan has been able to lead the troops, he can do it well. In Hanzhong, there is almost no one who can stop Wei Yan's front.

Wei Yan and Zhang Lu both nodded.

"Let's go!" Under Liu Qi's order, 30,000 soldiers and horses immediately started. Liu Qi had to go to Jiange and meet Gan Ning before rushing to Yizhou.

.........................................................................................

Zitong County, on a hillside, Zhang Ren is looking up and looking far away. Following Zhang Ren's eyes, he can see the situation in the Jingzhou camp, and even see the busy scene of Jingzhou soldiers in the camp.

It is not the first time that Zhang Ren has been staring here in the past two days. Every once in a while, Zhang Ren will come here to observe the situation of Jingzhou Camp.

As the extremely leader of the Jingzhou army this time, Zhang Ren has already inquired about everything about them clearly. But because of this, Zhang Ren did not dare to make up his mind to attack.

The most dazzling of these 30,000 soldiers and horses is undoubtedly Zhuge Liang, who has led the army at a young age. Zhang Ren has a large pile of information about Zhuge Liang in his hand. Including the bits and pieces of Zhuge Liang's life in Jingzhou, and the most detailed is the short time when the Jiangdong army attacked Jiangxia last time. During that time, Zhuge Liang's words and deeds and even the reactions of all kinds of troops were clearly explored.

Zhang Ren has read Zhuge Liang's information no more than ten times, but every time he read it, he will catch up with Zhuge Liang's timing. Every time, you can grasp the opponent's flaws, put the opponent to death, and turn defeat into victory and win more in Zhuge Liang's hands.

Zhuge Liang seems to be able to know what the other party's general is thinking and calculate the opponent's every move clearly.

Zhang Ren didn't believe such a person. He didn't see that he had a murderous heart towards Jingzhou soldiers and horses. But the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou were so quiet that they didn't seem to realize the fact that he was besieged, which puzzled Zhang Ren.

In his opinion, since Zhuge Liang saw that he wanted to attack Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, he should make a series of reactions, and he could find flaws from them and defeat Jingzhou's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, which could not only save Yizhou's power, guard against Jingzhou's revenge, but also dispel Jingzhou's ambition, making Yizhou It can be preserved.

But Zhuge Liang is so quiet, quiet and even a little weird, which makes Zhang Ren extremely uneasy. Zhuge Liang seems to be waiting for him to take action first, and then looking for an opportunity to defeat himself.

Zhuge Liang is even calmer than himself!

"Spear the order, order the army to attack!" Looking back, Zhang Ren turned his head and looked at the messenger beside him.

"No." The title of the book scattered the soldiers and went in different directions.

"General, it's still day!" A young general exclaimed.

"It is only by attacking during the day that you can see the clues. The Jingzhou soldiers and horses are too quiet. I'd like to see how Zhuge Liang dealt with it. Although I can't sneak attack during the day, my Yizhou soldiers and horses have gathered 60,000 people at this time, exactly twice the Jingzhou soldiers and horses. Even if it is a dead consumption, it can consume Jingzhou soldiers and horses. . What's more, Jingzhou's soldiers and horses are laborious, and the supply of food and fodder is not enough. How can I be the opponent of Yizhou's soldiers and horses?

Zhang Ren shook his head and looked up at Jingzhou Daying again.

With several messengers, Zhang Ren's orders were passed down, and the Yizhou soldiers and horses stationed around quickly mobilized. With the sound of the shocking drums and the rumbling footsteps sounded, a famous Yizhou soldier quickly appeared around the Jingzhou camp.

Dong Dong Dong...

Almost at the moment when the Yizhou soldiers and horses appeared, the rapid sound of drums in the Jingzhou camp also sounded. All the soldiers in the camp did not think about it. When the drums sounded, they left what was in their hands and grabbed the weapons on the side and rushed to the school yard.

On the campus, Huang Zhong stood upright. In less than a few dozen breaths, 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers and horses had been assembled, and Huang Zhong's order was also followed, and 30,000 soldiers and horses were divided into two teams to guard the camp in turn.

When the Yizhou soldiers and horses rushed to the range of the crossbow before the Jingzhou camp, the Jingzhou soldiers and horses also completed the deployment. Seeing that the two sides were about to fight together, the dull horn sounded, making the Yizhou soldiers who had rushed to the Jingzhou camp all stagnate, and then retreated like a tide.

Seeing that the soldiers and horses in Yizhou retreated, the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou also dispersed. During this period, there was no confusion at all.

"There is evidence for advancing and retreating. He is indeed the first general in Yizhou. This alone can show that his leadership is indeed extraordinary." In the Jingzhou camp, in a big account, Zhuge Liang's energy to see the whole process of Yizhou's attack clearly.

Being Zhuge Liang, Li Huizheng, the supervisor, looked at the retreating Yizhou army doubtfully: "Military division, why did this Ren suddenly order the retreat?"

"This is just Zhang Ren's temptation. If I can't react just now, this Ren will definitely not order the withdrawal." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Let's see if I have found his intention. It's not a real attack. If the conversation is good, he will order the army to attack the battalion tonight.

"Why do you wait until night?" Li Hui frowned and said.

"Because Yizhou soldiers and horses can have an advantage at night. During the day, the army can prepare for defense before the arrival of Yizhou soldiers and horses, but it can't accurately grasp the time of Yizhou soldiers and horses attack at night, which will give Yizhou soldiers and horses an opportunity to take advantage of this. This will not be unexpected." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth.

"Ah?" Li Hui exclaimed.

Returning to the camp, Zhang Ren obviously looked much more relaxed. At this time, Zhang Ren had confirmed that although Zhuge Liang had found his intention, there was no way. Just now, Zhuge Liang had exposed his preparation. Zhuge Liang did not have any preparation as he appeared, but prepared everything. Zhang Ren was relieved to see this.

He also thought that the reason why Zhuge Liang did not move was that he had a way to deal with him, but he didn't expect that he was just secretly ready. He stood on the hillside and looked very clearly that Jingzhou soldiers and horses seemed to have prepared for the time from the attack to the Jingzhou army, and the deployment could be completed before the Yizhou soldiers and horses rushed to the Jingzhou battalion.

However, this is nothing in Zhang Ren's eyes. What if the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou are well deployed? The Jingzhou camp has been surrounded by itself. How can others predict how they will attack the Jingzhou camp?

The reason why he ordered the army to stop attacking just now was just to paralyze Zhuge Liang, which made Zhuge Liang think that he was surprised by the speed of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses. However, although he thought so, Zhang Ren was still extremely surprised that the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou had done so many things in such a short time, and there was no stagnation in the middle, as if it had been arranged in advance. His soldiers could never do it at such a speed.

"Is it the problem of the drum?" Thinking a little, Zhang Ren figured out the cause and effect. When the army appeared in the sight of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, a rapid drum sounded in the Jingzhou battalion, and the Jingzhou soldiers in the battalion heard the drums that they quickly gathered around to defend. Even Huang Zhong, the general of Jingzhou, was after the sound of the drums. Only then did I feel above the school grounds.

"Well, I don't believe you can still see my Yizhou soldiers at night?" Zhang Ren's heart was cold. At night, the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou could not see the situation around him at all. In addition, the weather was already cold, so it was inevitable that Jingzhou soldiers would slack off.
