Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 510

When Cao Cao was preparing to march, Liu Bei had all withdrawn to Dingjun Mountain.

At night, Liu Bei discussed with Fazheng and Pang Tong in his tent, studying how to fight his old enemy head-on.

Liu Bei pointed to the sand table with a worried look on his face: "Cao Cao is really not comparable to Xia Houyuan. He sent Zhang Yun to guard the grain road on the north bank. He will camp in Zouma Valley tomorrow after crossing the river. He will definitely extend the line of defense to the entire north of Dingjun Mountain. Let's rely on Mian again." It seems difficult to be disturbed by water.”

Pang Tong replied with a smile: "My lord, do you still remember Ziyu's strengths?"

"Of course Ziyu is good at farming, but what does this have to do with the current situation?" Liu Bei asked with question marks all over his face.

Pang Tong shook his head, "No, Ziyu has only one strength?"

"Will you teach apprentices? Or will you use soldiers?"

Liu Bei hadn't figured out how to award Yang Song yet, so he asked Deng Ai to follow the grain transport team to Dingjun Mountain to meet him and learn about Yang Song's deeds during his time in the field.

At this time, Deng Ai happened to be in the Dingjun Mountain camp, so Liu Bei would say that Lantian would teach his apprentices.

"There are even more powerful advantages." Pang Tong smiled mysteriously.

Seeing that Pang Tong also played charades like Zhuge Liang, and there was a strange expression on his impatient face.

Liu Bei raised his unusual arm, stroked his smooth chin, and fell into deep thought.

The so-called strengths in the mouth of the military adviser, shouldn't be some physical characteristics?But Lan Tian is mediocre in this respect, it is really not outstanding.

"I have three sons."

Liu Bei's inexplicable words surprised Fazheng next to him.

"My lord, what are you talking about?"

"Uh, what is Shiyuan talking about?"

Liu Bei felt that he would make a mistake, so he immediately interrupted Fazheng and diverted from this dangerous topic.

Pang Tong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Kong Ming told me that Lan Ziyu's most powerful strength is his ability to observe the overall situation and deduce the situation. Kong Ming praised him as the best in the world. Isn't this better than being able to farm and use soldiers?" more powerful?"

"'If you don't plan for the whole world, you can't plan for a moment, and if you don't plan for the overall situation, you can't plan for a region.' This famous saying by General Lan is indeed shocking." Fazheng first nodded in agreement with Pang Tong, and then asked Liu Bei: "My lord just said Does the three sons have any special meaning?"

Liu Bei didn't expect Fazheng to return to the topic again. He hesitated and said, "Three sons? Why should I mention sons? Let's talk about returning to the battlefield. What does Ziyu's plan for the overall situation have to do with the present?"

Pang Tong didn't bother with his son's topic, he followed Liu Bei's words and said: "Lan Ziyu's plan for the overall situation is to broaden his horizons from point to point, and not just focus on the battlefield in front of him. For example, Kong Ming’s raising food in Chengdu will affect the overall situation.”

"Uh Shiyuan, you should talk about the result." Liu Bei asked anxiously.

Pang Tong pointed to a river in the east of Dingjun Mountain and analyzed: "The river here is narrow and curved, which is very suitable for sending troops to harass, and it is about [-] miles away from our current camp.

My lord, you can send two stable generals to camp near here. As long as they cooperate alternately and support each other, they will surely be able to restrain Zhang He from intercepting Cao Jun's food route. "

"Shiyuan's plan is very clever. As long as he can successfully intercept once or twice, Cao Cao will not be able to fight wholeheartedly. When he is restless and tired physically and mentally, we can find the right opportunity to attack, and then we can decide in one battle." Fazheng added. road.

Liu Bei nodded, "It's just according to the two military advisers, but the prudent general Shi Yuan said is"

"Old General Huang once beheaded Xia Houyuan in battle. The generals of the Cao army were terrified when they heard his name. I recommend the old general to fight against Zhang He." Fazheng gave his answer.

"Shi Yuan said that the two generals need to support each other, so I let Zilong and General Huang go with him. Zilong followed me to the north and south, and he never made a mistake. What do you think?" Liu Bei asked.

Pang Tong nodded affirmatively: "General Zilong was fighting at Yangping Pass. At that time, no one in Cao Ying dared to go out to fight the enemy. My lord did not give Zhang Yun a chance at all."

"Zhang He is unlucky, can you blame Bei?" Liu Bei's sudden joke made Pang Tong and Fa Zheng laugh heartily.

"Cao Cao will cross the river tomorrow, my lord should make arrangements as soon as possible, so that the two generals can detour behind the mountain and arrive at the scheduled location as soon as possible." Fazheng reminded.

"Soldiers are expensive and fast, so let someone call Zilong and Old General Huang here."

At this time, there was a bonfire in the open area outside the camp to keep warm. Chen Dao and a few guards stood by the fire, staring at a stranger with arms crossed, soaked and shivering from the cold.

"Uncle Zhi, this is" Liu Bei stepped forward and asked curiously.

"My lord, he claims to be Lieutenant Song's entourage. He came from the north bank of Mianshui after dark, and said that he has important military information to report to you. Just now, my lord was talking with two military advisers, so I let him sit by the fire first." Keep warm." Chen Dao clasped his fists and replied.

"Song Chen's man? Also from the army? What's your name?" Liu Bei asked with a frown.

Although the man was so cold that his teeth were chattering, he raised his head and replied proudly: "The humble name is Zhang Shun. He was originally a scout in the reconnaissance battalion of the army that fell into the army. military."

Liu Bei had a little understanding of the fallen army. He knew that the fallen army was an elite regiment trained by Gao Shun, and the reconnaissance battalion was the elite of the fallen army.

"Forcibly crossing Mianshui in such cold weather, there should be very important information. You can talk to me." After Liu Bei finished speaking to Zhang Shun, he turned his head and told Chen Dao: "Uncle Zhi, you go get Zilong and General Huang. Come here, by the way, prepare a set of dry winter clothes for Zhang Shun."

"Wei." Chen Dao replied.

Zhang Shun followed into the main tent without hesitation. Liu Bei took off his cloak and handed it to Zhang Shun. Pang Tong and Fazheng were curious to see Liu Bei being treated so favorably.

Zhang Shun felt that he was a pawn, and he was not lucky enough to dare to wear Liu Bei's cloak, so he stood where he was and dared not accept it.

"The clothes are the same for everyone. Before the winter clothes are delivered, I will use my cloak to keep out the cold first, and pass the information to the military advisers by the way."

Liu Bei's almost commanding tone made the disciplined Zhang Shun dare not refuse. He wrapped his cloak tightly around his body, feeling a warm current coming from his body.

Zhang Shun said slowly: "Yesterday Cao Cao summoned all the generals to discuss matters. Yangping Pass was busy early this morning. Captain Song found some strange things in the pass, so let me take the opportunity of carrying rice bags on the boat and pretend to fall into the water to Dingjun Mountain. Please tell me, because Cao Jun is under strict surveillance, I didn't find the opportunity until dusk."

"What's so strange?" Fazheng asked.

"Cao Jun asked us to move food and supplies to the ship, and a small part of it was loaded in the pass. I heard that it was going to be transported to Guangshiguan in the west of Yangping. Zhang Xi, who was stationed at Guangshiguan, had already withdrawn. Captain Song thinks this is too unusual." Zhang Shun replied.

Fazheng and Pang Tong looked at each other solemnly, and they moved to the sand table in the tent at the same time.

"Two military advisors, is there anything wrong?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

Pang Tong pointed at the sand table and hummed softly: "Cao Bandit is really scheming. He intends to bypass Ma Ming Pavilion and cross Zou Maling to attack the Mianbei Camp."
