Chapter 73 Opportunities referred to by Pang Tong

The voice, clear and melodious, like a sudden magnetic field, attracted everyone's attention irresistibly.

Looking for the voice, the man standing at the door was slender and strong, his face was as warm as jade, and every detail of his facial features was just right. His black hair was tied with a silk scarf, and in his plain white hand, a feather fan shook slightly, and a blue coat gently swayed with the breeze coming in the hall. In a trance, that kind of elegant demeanor made people a little distracted.

is Zhuge Liang.

Since the battle of Changbanpo, Liu Feng has never seen the chief adviser of the Liu family's army. Although this man has not participated in the Battle of Chibi from beginning to end, Liu Feng knows that he is not idle at all.

It was this man who ran through Chaisang, acted as the responsibility of the ambassador of Lianwu, and contributed to Sun Liu's alliance. According to Pang Tong, this person was far away from Chai Sang, but he persuaded Pang Tong to offer a series of tricks to Cao Qian, and unconsciously added a great help to the battle of Chibi.

Liu Feng knew that the wisdom of the man in front of him was extraordinary. Fortunately, he came a step late, otherwise the play he just played could be hidden from others, but it was really a little uncertain whether he could be hidden from him.

As soon as Zhuge Liang arrived, everyone got up to greet him. Even Liu Bei came down from the seat to greet him. Before Zhuge Liang bowed, he took his hand and sighed, "Military, I haven't been with you for months. I'm always uneasy. Now it's all right. You're finally coming back, and I can finally feel at ease."

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and smiled: "Liang has also been thinking about the Lord. When I was outside just now, it seemed to be very lively inside. I don't know what the lord and your colleagues were talking about.

Liu Bei smiled dryly and said, "It's nothing. It's just because the military division has not arrived yet, so I will discuss with you in advance what will happen after the decisive battle of Chibi. Now that the military division has arrived, we can officially start."

The two masters and ministers sat down. Liu Bei said first, "Military master, I have returned from Chibi this time. Seeing that Zhou Lang's strategies work one by one, it is expected that Chibi's decisive victory is only in the number. Just now, Yuan Zhi also said that once Cao's army is defeated, it is a good time for us to take advantage of the victory to pursue. What do you think?

"If Cao's army is defeated in the Battle of Red Cliff, it will inevitably cross Yunmengze and retreat to Jiangling through Huarong Road. This road is muddy and not suitable for fighting at all. Even if we pour out, we can't get anything. Therefore, Liang's suggestion is the battle of Wulin. We only need to send people all the way to participate. One of them shows us to the Wu people. He also contributed in the decisive battle. Second, he could follow Cao's army and take the opportunity to capture a large number of weights left by Cao's army.

Xu Shu also added: "Kong Ming's words are reasonable. Although the Cao army was defeated, the loss was at most by the navy. His elite northern army still exists. We can't confront it head-on with it. We can only send a light soldier to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit. On the other hand, we can also invite ourselves as a capital to bargain with the Wu people after the war."

Liu Bei nodded slightly to express his approval: "What you two said is exactly what I want, but I don't know who the military division thinks is appropriate to send to Wulin to help the war."

Liu Feng's heart moved and thought that if it was like Kong Ming's plan, the Lushan camp where he was located was the closest to Wulin, would this task of chasing Cao's army be the most suitable for him.

Is this what Pang Tong called an opportunity? However, this doesn't seem to be a godsend.

"Cao's army are all good generals. Even if they chase, they can't underestimate the enemy. They must be an experienced general. In my opinion, Zilong is competent."

Just as Liu Feng hesitated whether to take the initiative to ask, Zhuge Liang had made a choice among the generals with a feather fan, and this choice made many people feel a little surprised.

Zhao Yun stayed in Xiakou for a long time, holding his fighting spirit. Since he was highlighted by Zhuge, he immediately sighed, "Master, if Yun bears this heavy responsibility."

"Zilong has always been stable. Well, Zilong will be responsible for this Wulin pursuit battle." There was trust in Liu Bei's eyes, but then a trace of worry appeared. "In the battle of Wulin, even if we can capture a large number of Cao's military resources, what we lack at present is not military resources, but territory, soldiers and horses, and military divisions. You have always planned far-reaching. This time you deliberately came back from Chai Sang. I'm afraid we should have a plan."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Those who know Liang are also the lord. In fact, when Liang was in Chai Sang, he had reached an agreement on behalf of the Lord and Wu Hou. This agreement was enough to get a foothold for the Lord, but it was urgent. Before he could explain it to the Lord, Liang made the decision without authorization. I hope the Lord will forgive me.

Liu Bei and the group of bureaucrats were immediately excited, and Liu Bei's gray face was even more excited: "The military division is really far-reaching. How can I blame the military division, but I don't know what the good strategy is?"

"After the victory of Chibi, Cao Wei will probably lead the main northern army back to the north for rest, and Zhou Lang will definitely lead the army to the river and take advantage of the victory to besiege Jiangling. This place is the heart of Jingzhou. Of course, Cao Wei will not give up, and he will definitely leave heavy troops to defend. At that time, the Wu people will concentrate their main forces to besiege Jiangling, and the lord can take advantage of the time when the Wu people have no time to divide their troops to seize this place as their home.

Zhuge Liang said that he called the servants outside the entrance and hung a roll of maps on the side wall of the hall. Everyone's eyes turned together. What was depicted on the map was the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou.

In an instant, Liu Feng had the illusion that time had frozen. The names of the four counties, Wuling, Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang, were like the subtitles of the movie, passing by one by one. In his mind, Pang Tong's instructions to go and return when he said goodbye in the snow suddenly came back.

Liu Feng's heartbeat was accelerating and his blood was burning. At this moment, he had a surprise. It was not until Kong Ming took out this map that he finally understood what Pang Tong meant by the opportunity.

"That said so, but the Wu people made great efforts in the Battle of Chibi. We want to take the four southern counties with just a little credit, so I'm afraid that the Marquis of Wu may not agree."

Liu Bei's judgment is still quite calm. He knows very well that his strength is different from that of Wu people in Jingzhou. The so-called Sun Liu Alliance is actually a joint-stock company. Wu Ren is the largest shareholder who pays the most. Naturally, the behavior of his small shareholder depends on the eyes of the major shareholder.

"Therefore, the lord of Liang promised the Marquis of Wu that if Chibi won, when Zhou Lang besieged Jiangling, Yun Chang needed to lead Xia Koushui's army to cut off the North Road and prevent Xiangyang Cao's army from going south to rescue Jiangling. As for this other condition, the lord needs to write a letter to Wu Ju, the governor of Cangwu, to allow Wu Jun to enter Jiaozhou.

Sun Quan has long been coveted for Jiaozhou, and Cangwu is the gateway to Jiaozhou. This person has old friends with Liu Bei. It seems that Sun Quan intends to take advantage of Liu Bei's friendship and take a key step to seize Jiaozhou.

Liu Bei seemed a little hesitant. When he was trying to figure out whether to betray Wu Ju or not, Zhuge Liang said, "Your lord, there are some things that have to be forced to help the Han Dynasty."

With the gorgeous and righteous ladder of Kuangfu Hanshi Sheji, Liu Bei took the opportunity to go down the steps, so he sighed, "If so, then follow the strategy of the military division. But I don't know who to send to take the southern four counties, and the military division has any good advice.

Zhuge Liang has been confident for a long time, and immediately said, "Wuling and Lingling to the west of Xiangshui, Liang thinks that it should be taken by Yide. As for Changsha and Guiyang in eastern Hunan..."

The opportunity is at hand, and you must fight for it yourself!

Before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Liu Feng was ready to take the initiative to ask for it, but at this moment, Mi Zhu took the lead and said, "I thought that the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang should send A Feng to pick them up."

Liu Feng was surprised by Mi Zhu's words.
