"Everything must be divided into two parts" Fazheng and Li Yan repeated Liu Cong's words almost at the same time, and then thought about it carefully.
"My lord speaks out words of wisdom! My subordinates have been taught a lesson!" Li Yan saluted Liu Cong.
"My lord is very knowledgeable and has far-reaching insights. I can't match him!" Fazheng gave another courtesy.
Liu Cong felt a little elated. Unexpectedly, this simple dialectical principle would win so much respect. It seemed that he could publish a collection of famous quotes.
"It's a pity that today is a troubled time. If it were a prosperous time, he could really be a rich man, make money easily, "write books and write stories" easily, read all the beauties in the world, and be a romantic "talent", wouldn't it be fun!
"Look, my lord, the Hanzhong Army is transporting grain and grass again." Liu Hu pointed downward and said.
Liu Cong, Fazheng, and Li Yan looked in the direction of Liu Hu's finger and saw a group of Han soldiers looming in the jungle at the bottom of the valley.
Soon, they arrived at the mouth of the valley above, and the soldiers in the valley let them in.
"Liu Hu, please investigate carefully. How many soldiers are there transporting food? Approximately how much food and grass were transported this time?"
"No!"
Liu Hu and several soldiers quietly walked forward more than ten feet, hid behind a big tree, and observed carefully.
After a while, he returned.
"My lord, there are about a thousand soldiers transporting food, and the total food transported is about fifteen hundred dan!"
"Ha" Liu Cong chuckled a few times after hearing this.
"My lord, why are you laughing?"
"Zhuge Liang is cautious, but this time he went too far. At this rate, how many troops and horses are needed to transport 100,000 shi of grain to Shanggu Valley in one month? On the other hand, this soldier needs to transport 100,000 shi of grain. How much time will it take? One year or two years? And will this secret food road be enough?"
Although arithmetic in ancient times was not developed, they could still do simple calculations. Even if the calculations were inaccurate, they were absolutely certain that it was impossible for Hanzhong soldiers to hoard 100,000 shi of food here.
Since there is not so much food and grass, what will be inside? You don't need to think too much, you must know that it must be something to ignite the fire.
"Obviously, this is Zhuge Liang's plan.
"Thanks to my lord's careful thinking, otherwise we would have fallen into Zhuge Liang's plan, and the consequences would have been disastrous!"
"yes!"
Fazheng and Li Yan were a little scared when they thought about it. When they learned about the grain harvesting in the valley above, they immediately thought about how to rob the grain, but they never thought that this was the enemy's plan.
"We first discovered the grain road, and then we discovered the place where they were storing grain. We explored the grain path before, and then Zhengfang led people to explore the place where they were storing grain. Could it be that Zhuge Liang was not aware of any of these processes? Liu Cong shook his head, "Zhuge Liang will definitely notice it!"
"My lord, you are saying that Zhuge Liang knows that we are exploring their food routes and grain storage areas?"
"If only scouts went to find out the news, they might be able to hide it from Zhuge Liang. But if we bring a thousand soldiers, wouldn't their scouts detect the information? So there is only one result, and that is that Zhuge Liang wants us to know! "Liu Cong showed a sneer on his face, "Maybe at this time, Zhuge Liang is secretly watching us somewhere!"
"Huh? This"
"Since Zhuge Liang wants to use a trick, why don't we follow it?"
"Just follow the plan?" Fazheng frowned.
"This matter is complicated, we must take a long-term approach, and return to camp now!"
"No!"
Xiangyang, Taishou Mansion.
Ma Liang was restless, like an ant on a hot pot, wandering around in the hall.
After a while, General Liu Pan, Jingzhou Biejia Meng Jian, Chang Shi Wang Can and others came in at the same time.
"Everyone, whatwhat should we do?" Ma Liang asked in panic when he saw the crowd, "My lord is away on an expedition and Jingzhou's troops are empty. How should we deal with it?"
"Ji Chang, when the soldiers come, we will stop them, and when the water comes, we will stop them. Why should we be afraid? In the worst case, we will die in battle!" Liu Pan did not panic at all.
"General Liu is right, but it is easy to die on the battlefield. What will happen to Jingzhou? If we lose Jingzhou in our hands, even if we die, in the futuresigh"
In the past few days, I have received news from scouts that Jiangdong will dispatch four armies to attack Jingzhou.
Ma Liang didn¡¯t believe it at first. Didn¡¯t the two families have an alliance? And now the entire southernThe princes all formed an alliance.
But soon, news from Tianwang Camp also arrived. The commanders, generals, and troop strength of the Fourth Army were all reported clearly. Can this be false?
What about the covenant? If you don't comply, it's a piece of paper. Didn't Liu Bei already send troops to attack Shangyong? And now the main attack is fighting Zhuge Liang.
Jingzhou now has no soldiers and no generals. Ma Liang really doesn't know how to defend it.
"Ji Chang, first send someone to escort the old lady. The ladies and young masters will leave Xiangyang and go to Luoyang. Then we will discuss how to retreat from the enemy?"
"Yes, yes!" Ma Liang seemed to suddenly realize, "This matter cannot be delayed. Zhongxuan, you go and do it right away!"
"No!" Wang Can quickly left.
"Report to the prefect, General Zhang Xiu is asking for an audience!" At this moment, a soldier ran into the prefect's mansion.
"Zhang Xiu, that's great!" Ma Liang finally had a happy face, "Quick, let him in!"
"No!"
After Zhang Xiu surrendered, Liu Cong has been useless. Of course, this is not because he does not trust Zhang Xiu, but because Zhao Yun announced that Zhang Xiu was dead in order to protect Zhang Xiu's family. Later Liu Cong asked Ma Zhong to try to rescue Zhang Xiu's family members to Xiangyang.
"It would be easy to save one or two people, but Zhang Xiu had a lot of family members. Not counting his servants, there were more than a dozen people including his wife, sons, etc., so it was very difficult.
When Cao Cao moved the capital to Yecheng, Ma Zhong finally found an opportunity and left them in Yuzhou. It was not until Wei Yan and Zhao Yun captured Yuzhou that they returned to Xiangyang.
What is Zhang Xiu¡¯s ability? Ma Liang knew very well that when he was stationed in Wancheng, Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, sent Cai Mao to lead his army to attack several times, but they all returned with great defeats.
Soon Zhang Xiu came to the main hall of the prefect's mansion.
"See you, Lord Prefect, all gentlemen!" Zhang Xiu saluted everyone, "I heard that Jiangdong wants to send a large army to attack Jingzhou. Zhang Xiu has received the great favor of the lord and is willing to use the power of dogs and horses."
"That's great. I feel relieved to have General Zhang here!" Ma Liang said happily.
But when they were discussing countermeasures next, Ma Liang's heart sank again.
Jiangdong's four armies, totaling 80,000, attacked Changsha, Xiangyang, Nanjun and Jiangxia respectively. The commanders were Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng and Lu Xun.
"At present, in Jingzhou, the four counties of Jingnan have 5,000 soldiers and horses, Xiangyang has 5,000 soldiers and horses, Nan County has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and only Jiangxia, Ganning and Jiangxi have 10,000 soldiers and horses. And except for Gan Ning's soldiers and horses, the others are all county soldiers, and their combat power is not very strong. How to defend?
