The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 537
"Hahahahaha, that's right, but it's just acting. At that time, I will arrange a group of soldiers to pretend to be Li Yuan's army on the way, and be ambushed by your soldiers. Then Cangmang fled to Hanzhong and asked Zhang Lu to open the city gate to meet them." When we enter the city, as long as we cheat to open the city gate, Hanzhong will be in our pocket." Zhuge Liang showed a meaningful smile on his face.

"Ingenious plan, ingenious plan!" Zhong Yao applauded, and at the same time admired Zhuge Liang, it was really not easy to think of such a plan in a short period of time.

A month later, Li Yuan had already received a letter from Yang Song secretly sent by someone in Xiapi, and the news of the alliance between Cao Cao and Liu Bei had spread all over the place. Now the four major princes in the world suddenly formed two camps, one side was Li Yuanhe Ma Teng, on the other side are Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Li Yuan, Cao Cao and Ma Teng are all famous people for a long time, Liu Bei is a person who came out of nowhere, and many people suspect that he murdered Liu Zhang, but anyway, now Liu Bei already has enough qualifications to dominate the world and become a pivotal figure.

After Li Yuan knew that Zhuge Liang had started to attack Hanzhong, he felt that it was necessary to help Zhang Lu. He decided to send veteran Cheng Pu to garrison in Shangyong, and asked him to command the local troops so as to help Zhang Lu at any time.

Li Yuan immediately summoned Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu, and after a while, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu walked into the meeting hall. Zhou Yu clasped his fists at Li Yuan and said, "I wonder what the Lord will do at the end of the meeting?"

"Gongjin, Yang Song sent a secret letter from Hanzhong, saying that Zhuge Liang had sent troops to attack Hanzhong a month ago, but it was unsuccessful. In the end, he didn't know where his troops went." Li Yuan will tell what happened in Hanzhong Said it completely.

"Excuse me, my lord, who is this Yang Song?" Zhou Yu had never heard of Yang Song's name, and thought he was Li Yuan's spy in ambush in Hanzhong.

Li Yuan patted his head, forgetting that Zhou Yu and others didn't know that Yang Song was a pawn he secretly bought, and said: "Yang Song is Zhang Lu's adviser, and he is highly valued by Zhang Lu, but he is very greedy for money. When he was in Xiliang, he bought him and promised to capture Hanzhong in the future and make him the prefect of Hanzhong, so he joined me without hesitation, and now Yang Song is a pawn I arranged beside Zhang Lu."

"So that's how it is," Zhou Yu nodded, thinking that Li Yuan's arrangements were really thoughtful, and he had already planned to attack Hanzhong when he went to Xiliang, "My lord, I heard that Zhuge Liang is a very powerful person. He studied at Lumen Academy with Pang Tong and Xu Shu. He is a disciple of Mr. Shui Jing. He is known as Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young with Pang Tong. His strategy of attacking Hanzhong by borrowing the road is actually very clever, but Yang Song still sees it through, and the general will think that Yang Song is also a world-class strategist and deserves our attention."

Li Yuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Hahahaha, Gongjin, you are thinking too much. The reason why Yang Song can stop Zhuge Liang is because I let him do it. Otherwise, how can he stop Zhuge Liang with his ability?" At that time, when I went to Xiliang, I told him that Zhuge Liang was likely to attack Hanzhong with the excuse of attacking Shangyong, and asked him to pay more attention to defense, and also sent more troops to Yangping to cut off Zhuge Liang's retreat, so that he could not return to Chengdu. Fortunately, he could ambush the archers in the city, lure Zhuge Liang into the city, and kill him in one fell swoop, but in the end Yang Song still failed and let Zhuge Liang’s army escape, and Yang Song still doesn’t know where Zhuge Liang fled.”

Zhou Yu was a little embarrassed. It turned out that Li Yuan was far-sighted. He thought that Yang Song was really so powerful, and said, "It turns out that I misunderstood, but it can also be seen from this that Yang Song really has no ability. There are only three directions for Zhuge Liang to retreat. One is to go back to Chengdu in the direction of Yangping Pass, the other is to go east to attack Shangyong, and the other is to go northeast to Chang'an. Shangyong found information about Zhuge Liang's army, which proves that Zhuge Liang has gone to Chang'an."

"That's true. Gong Jin can guess where Zhuge Liang went with just a clue, which is much better than Yang Song." Li Yuan praised.

"Lord Liao praised it, but Liu Bei hadn't formed an alliance with Cao Cao at that time, so it was normal for Yang Song not to guess that Zhuge Liang would go to Chang'an. Now that the news of Cao Cao's alliance with Liu Bei has spread all over the world, both Yang Song and Zhang Lu should know about it , Now they should all be worried that Cao Cao and Liu Bei will attack Hanzhong again." Zhou Yu predicted that Liu Bei and Cao Cao would definitely do this.

Although Li Yuan also believed that Liu Bei and Cao Cao would attack Hanzhong again, he was not very sure. He asked, "Does Gongjin think that Cao Cao and Liu Bei will definitely attack Hanzhong again?"

"At least [-]% to [-]% may attack Hanzhong," Zhou Yu analyzed for Li Yuan, "Hanzhong is a very important strategic location, especially in view of the current situation, Liu Bei and Cao Cao will definitely fight us, as long as they Being able to occupy Hanzhong will prevent our soldiers and horses from converging with Ma Teng's. Liu Bei can also ensure the safety of Chengdu, and Cao Cao can also prevent the lord's army from helping Ma Teng attack Chang'an. Attack Hanzhong again."

"Gongjin is right, and I have the same concerns, so I summoned you this time because I want General Cheng to go to Shangyong to garrison. Shangyong is closer to Hanzhong. If Hanzhong is attacked, we can quickly support it. I wonder what Gongjin means?" Li Yuan asked Zhou Yu for advice.

"My lord, since I, Zhou Yu, have served you, I will be loyal to you. Even if you dispatch our Jiangdong generals, I will have no objection. Everything will be obeyed by the lord." Zhou Yu knew that the reason why Li Yuan asked for his opinion was to let him Don't worry, so as not to make him suspicious, Li Yuan's actions made Zhou Yu feel that Li Yuan valued him very much, but he didn't want Li Yuan to consider his feelings too much, so let Li Yuan not have too many worries.

Li Yuan asked again: "Old General Cheng, can you go to Shangyong to garrison to share my worries?"

Cheng Pu said without hesitation: "The final general is willing to share the Lord's worries!"

"Okay, now Shangyong only has [-] soldiers stationed. I will transfer [-] soldiers from Gongjin for you to use. Adding Shangyong's soldiers and horses should be enough, and Xiangyang is to the east of Shangyong. If you don't have enough soldiers and horses You can send people to Xiangyang to inform Xingba, and Xingba will send people to support you." Li Yuan thought very well, and Gan Ning was stationed in Xiangyang, so there is no need to worry too much even if Cao Cao and Liu Bei join hands with him.

"Yes!" Cheng Pu immediately set off for Shangyong after taking the order.

Li Yuan and Zhou Yu arranged everything very thoughtfully, but the only thing they didn't expect was that Zhuge Liang would send troops to attack Hanzhong twice in just one month. At this time, Zhuge Liang had assembled an army of nearly 2 people in Chang'an, ready to go Go to Hanzhong.
