Chapter 52 Liu Biao lost his life in Jingzhou Cao Liusun fought against Chibi (33
Zhou Yu arranged to stop the sixth team of the dry road, the fourth team of the water army, and Huang Gai all the way. He also ordered Lu Su and other counselors to guard the fortress, and led the central army to supervise the battle on the building ship. Xu Sheng, Ding Feng and other generals guarded him. After the crowd was ready to stop, they waited for the night action.
Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang had returned to Xiakou at this time. Liu Bei and others were very happy to see that they were safe and sound, and pulled everyone to ask about the journey.
Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "The war is about to start, and there is no time to tell others. Can the Lord's army and horse warship be ready to stop?
Liu Bei said, "I have already packed up and waited for the military division to be called. In addition, the national teacher has also arrived in Jiangxia.
Since Nanye built the Seven Star Forum, it has been equivalent to publicly joining forces with Sun Quan and Liu Bei to fight against Cao, and also knows that the head-on confrontation with Cao Cao is within a few days. Therefore, at that time, he ordered the bodyguard bureau to spread the news to Jingnan to start mobilized troops. In ancient times, communication was inconvenient. When Cao learned that Nan Ye's action was after the war, there was naturally no way to prevent it.
This time, the reinforcements are Pound, Tiefutu and abductors led by Ma Dai, as well as Gao Shun's trapped camp. Although these three-way soldiers and horses add up to only 11,000, their combat strength is comparable to that of 100,000 troops.
Everyone sat down. Nan Ye, Liu Bei and Liu Qi were in the main position. Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other Liu Bei listed the officials on one side, while Pang Tong, Zhuge Jin, Ma Chao, Dian Wei and other Nan Ye listed the officials on the other side. At this time, although Nanye's soldiers were no less than Liu Bei, Jiang Xia was still the home court of Liu Bei and Liu Qi, so the power to dispatch troops still belonged to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei gave this power to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang was not allowed to leave the class and said, "Guan Ping and Liu Feng listened to the order. You two led 10,000 soldiers to drive ships and captured Cao Cao's defeated army around the river to seize equipment. If you meet Cao Cao's brigade, you don't have to stop him from passing.
After the two young generals were ordered to retreat, Zhuge Liang continued: "Yi De can take 5,000 troops and horses, cross the river to take the Wulin path, and choose trees and reeds to ambush in dense places. After the fourth update tonight, Cao Cao must run from that road. When he was more than half of his horse, he set fire from the middle. Although you can't kill others, you have to kill half of them.
Zhang Fei was very excited and strode out, but he came back to the door and scratched his head and asked, "There are two roads in Wulin, one to Nanjun and one to Xiangyang. I don't know which way Cao Cao is going?"
Zhuge Liang nodded with a smile and was obviously satisfied with Zhang Fei's carefulness at this time. Then he took a look at Nan Ye and said, "Nan County is connected to the four counties of Jingnan. Cao Cao will not dare to go and go to Xiangyang, and then the army will join Xuchang. You can stop Xiangyang all the way."
When Zhang Fei heard the words, he took the plan away. Zhuge Liang said to Guan Yu again, "Yun Chang can lead 5,000 soldiers to cross the river, cut off the road of Yiling, and go to the mouth of Hulu Valley to ambush. Cao Cao did not dare to go to the South Yi Mausoleum, so he must go to the North Yi Mausoleum. It will be windy tonight, and it will rain in the coming days. After the rain, Cao's army will definitely bury the pot to make rice. When Yun Chang saw the smoke rise, he set fire to death from the edge of the mountain. Even if Cao Cao can't be caught, this credit is not small.
Nan Ye was a little surprised to hear that Zhuge Liang did not arrange Guan Yu to guard Hua Rongdao, but Zhuge Liang obviously hadn't finished speaking. Nan Ye didn't ask for the time being, but listened to Zhuge Liang continue to say to Liu Qi, "The land of Jiangxia is the most important. The eldest son asked to go back first and lead the troops of the headquarters to guard the Guo'ankou. Cao Cao's defeat must have escapeers, and they can be captured alive, but they can't leave the city easily.
Liu Qi also said goodbye to the crowd. Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei and Chen Dao again: "Uncle Zhi can guard the lord's troops Fankou and sit down and watch Zhou Lang set fire tonight."
Ma Chao couldn't help seeing that Zhuge Liang had arranged Liu Bei, but he didn't arrange Nanye's soldiers and generals. He came here to kill Cao Cao to avenge his father, but until now, there is still no battle. At that time, he asked loudly, "Today, when there is a big enemy, Mr. Kong Ming appointed generals, why did he ignore us? Is it possible to underestimate the national teacher?"
Zhuge Liang heard Ma Chao pull Nan Ye up and couldn't help laughing: "General Meng Qi, no wonder! The national teacher did not want to let Cao Cao know about this trip, so he did not dare to assign it at will. After saying that, he looked at Nanye.
Nan Ye and Zhuge Liang have also been together for a long time, and they can more or less grasp some of Zhuge Liang's character. If Nan Ye is asked to describe Zhuge Liang, I'm afraid it's not a wise demon, but a ghost. It's not enough to take advantage of it. At this time, Zhuge Liang did not appoint Nan Ye, but waited for Nan Ye to ask for troops. The results of the two seem to be the same, but they are not the same for Liu Bei.
In essence, Liu Bei and Nan Ye are allies. Liu Bei asked Nan Ye to send troops to ask for help from his allies. It is not too much for Nan Ye to ask for some benefits afterwards. It's different for Nanye to take the initiative to ask for help. Liu Bei can get Nanye's strong aid without paying anything. Between the two, Zhuge Liang naturally chose the latter.
Although Nan Ye saw Zhuge Liang's plan, he couldn't help but get into this trap. Who let him promise Ma Chao, Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu to avenge Ma Teng in this battle? Fortunately, Nanye didn't plan to ask for any benefits from Liu Bei. He really didn't like Liu Bei's family background. So he smiled at Zhuge Liang and said, "Mr. Kong Ming is too worried! With the use of the Seven Star Forum, Cao Cao will sooner or later know that I will join hands with Xuandegong and Sun Zhongmou in this battle. At this time, there is no need to cover up, sir's arrangement is. If I didn't expect it, there should be a critical gap where Mr. didn't appoint people.
Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard Nan Ye's words. Although Nan Ye was trapped and took the initiative to fight this time, he made it clear that Zhuge Liang still had a gap that lacked people to guard. This is equivalent to Nan Ye telling Zhuge Liang that he had seen through his strategy, but he disdained to take advantage of Liu Bei before taking the initiative, and also had the intention of beating Zhuge Liang. From Zhuge Liang's point of view, Nan Ye was obviously extremely generous this time, but he didn't know that Nan Ye said this because he knew that there was a war with Hua Rongdao.
If he were an ordinary person, he was inevitably blushing when he was seen through the calculation, but Zhuge Liang was just stunned for a moment and returned to his usual appearance as a master outside the world and said, "The national teacher is indeed unpredictable! There is indeed a dangerous barrier guarded by people. Cao Cao's life or death is here, and the national teacher is willing to be better.
Pang Tong obviously saw Zhuge Liang's mind and secretly said that his good friend was thick-skinned enough. So he took the opportunity to stimulate Zhuge Liang and said, "What Kong Ming said is Hua Rongdao?" This sentence means that Pang Tong also saw Zhuge Liang's mind.
Zhuge Liang can laugh at Nan Ye and naturally at Pang Tong. He nodded calmly and said, "Exactly! Today, Cao Cao's defeat must follow Huarong Road. The national teacher can pile up firewood at the high mountains of Huarong Road and set off a fire to attract Cao Cao.
Ma Chaoqi said, "Cao Cao saw fireworks and knew there was an ambush, so how would he come?"
Zhuge Liang said, "General Ma, don't you hear that the military tactics are false and real? Although Cao Cao can use troops, he is very suspicious. When he saw the smoke, he only bluffed and bound to come to this road.
