Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 1051

The Han River flows from west to east through Fancheng, Xinye, and Xiangyang, then turns around and flows southward around Xiangyang to Hankou, that is, the Wuhan area flows into the Yangtze River in later generations.

This river is actually the barrier of Xiangyang, which was the contribution of the later Song Dynasty to resist the violent Yuan Dynasty.

Later that day, on the bank of the Han River in the southeast of Xinye, more than a dozen riders came in a hurry.

They looked like soldiers in their outfits, but all of them were in tattered armor, disheveled, bloodstained, and embarrassed.

These people are none other than Zhuge Liang and others who escaped by luck.

Zhuge Liang's small cart is also gone, and he is riding a scrawny horse.

Army Master Kong Ming wanted to die now, "It seems that I underestimated Qin Zijin, and actually released water upstream. If the generals hadn't fought hard, my life would have died."

After Zhang Fei, Wenpin, Li Yan and others heard about it, they almost didn't lose their anger.

Zhuge Liang pulled off the Lun towel, wiped his sweat, and suddenly saw his own boat on the shore, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This is the boat I reserved earlier, everyone get on board quickly."

If there is still such a preparation, the generals admire the military adviser's caution.

Now that there is a boat and escape is in sight, everyone greets the boat one after another.

Zhuge Liang looked north, and saw yellow dust flying, he shook his feather fan lightly, with a sneer on his face, "Hmph..."

He was about to say a few words, but who knows that the hairs of the crowd stood on end, they rushed up, covered their mouths, and put Zhuge Liang on the ground.

"Buy Karma, what are you doing!" Zhuge Liang exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone felt that the military adviser was a little "mutated", and always said some incomprehensible words before speaking. What does "buying Karma's" mean?
Li Yan said anxiously: "Military Master, you can stop laughing, the subordinates really can't stand this."

Zhang Fei was more straightforward, "Kong Ming, when you smile, Qin Zijin's ambush soldiers will come. When you smile, he will come. When you smile, he will come. Don't laugh."

Zhuge Liang trembled all over, his face pale.He secretly swore that this was the last time, "Next time, I will never lose!" He swung his feather fan vigorously.

The boat in the river was about to dock, and when they saw Zhuge Liang being knocked down by the generals, they shouted in unison, "Rebellion!" and ran away with the boat.

All the generals jumped up and down for a while, and the soldiers on the boat knew it was not a rebellion.

So Zhuge Liang's [-]-strong army, with only a dozen people left, crossed the river together and headed for Xiangyang.

the next day.

Zhuge Liang entered Xiangyang City.

"Look, isn't this a 'Navy Army Master'?" Because Liu Bei often called Zhuge Liang "water, like a fish in water", the people below all called Zhuge Liang "Navy Army Master".

"Why do so many people come back, Bing?"

"You don't know? The navy division was defeated, and the king of Qin threw fire and water, and the fifty thousand army was completely wiped out."

"Ha, this navy division is really too watery."

So far, the people of Jingzhou have all called the water army division.

Veins popped out of Zhuge Liang's forehead, and he wished to tear the mouths of these troublemakers, "there will always be troublemakers who will harm my army." He hastily covered his face with a feather fan, and ran to the government office.

a while.

In the government office.

Liu Bei looked shocked and furious, but he finally held back.Instead, he comforted Zhuge Liang, flapped his big ears, and said: "Military Master, every time you talk about a strategy, it's too good for me. Jiangdong can subvert it, and every strategy is very mysterious, but why every time you come to Qin? Feng here, can’t it work?”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan quickly, his face turned blue.

The generals were still considerate, and said: "My lord, the non-military division is incompetent. Qin Zijin is really too cunning. At that time, there was no fire in Xinye, and the Qin army went to chase the lord early in the morning. Only a few troops guarded Xinye. The military division was away. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses were ambushed, just for this reason, seeing the rare opportunity, they said that seizing Xinye cut off Qin Feng's retreat."

"In addition, Qin's army has left, and the military division also intends to go to Xinye to have a look. Why is there no fire?"

Liu Bei nodded, "That makes sense, what happened next?"

"Later..." Wenpin and the others took into account Zhuge Liang's appearance, reluctantly making it difficult to say.

Zhang Fei said: "Brother, you don't know. As soon as the military division entered, my good fellow, the previous arrangement immediately caught fire, and they were all set on fire by the Qin army's ambushes."

Liu Bei suffered from angina, he immediately understood, and said nothing, Qin Feng must have discovered this, he prevented Zhuge Liang from lighting up, and instead burned Zhuge Liang with a fire.

"Sure enough, it was Qin Zijin's bad move!" Liu Bei slapped his ears and comforted him: "Military Master, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. You don't have to worry about it. Just work hard in the future and turn defeat into victory."

Zhuge Liang's ability is obvious to all, and Liu Bei said again: "Qin Zijin, I knew him to be cunning from the first time I met him. Military division, if you want to defeat Qin Zijin, you have to be more cunning than Qin Zijin."

Zhuge Liang slammed his fan, feeling that he was really sorry for Liu Bei's trust, and apologized, "My lord, please punish me."

Liu Beixin said that if I punished you, I would have no military advisor, so he said: "What is the military advisor talking about, we will work together to revive the Han Dynasty, and deal with Qin Zijin, and we need the military advisor to take charge of the overall situation."

Now it seems that presiding over such an overall situation is not as simple as blowing breath.

"Report..., Lu Fan, the envoy of Soochow Wu, asked to see me."

After a while, Lu Fan arrived and delivered a letter from Sun Quan.

Liu Bei opened it and took a closer look with Zhuge Liang.The general meaning of the letter is: Soochow pinned down the Qin Army's Jiangnan Fleet, and lost more than ten warships every day, which blocked the Qin Army's fleet.Soochow soldiers and horses are also trying to land on the north bank, and there are many losses every day.Sun Quan emphasized the importance of the alliance against Qin Feng, and pointed out that in the process of fighting against Qin Feng, Soochow paid a huge price.

In the end, Sun Quan hoped that Liu Bei would make a breakthrough in Jingzhou. If he could defeat Qin Feng, he would be able to sound the offensive clarion call for the entire Northern Expedition.

Liu Bei glanced at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang said: "Soochow is a model for our southern alliance. It has contributed a lot to restraining the Qin army's navy. Our Jingzhou army will definitely go all out to fight against the tyranny of Qin!"

Liu Bei got up and asked Lu Fan to convey his respect to Sun Quan. After completing his mission, Lu Fan resigned.

In the current situation, in the Southern Alliance, the Soochow Navy is the strongest, holding back the Qin Army Navy.In terms of the army, the Jingzhou Army still needs to make a breakthrough.

Liu Bei anxiously said: "Qin Zijin has three battleships, which are powerful, and Soochow will not be able to withstand them for a long time. It is necessary for the military adviser to come up with an idea to defeat Qin Feng on land."

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and said: "First, order the second general to guard Fancheng strictly. As long as Fancheng is guarded, the Qin army will not dare to cross the river. Isn't the reinforcement from the middle of Shu arrived? Let Zhang Song and others lead [-] Shu troops Go to Fancheng to support the Second General."

Liu Bei said: "We still need helpers. We can send Li Yan and General Wenpin to help."

Therefore, after Xinye's disastrous defeat, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang made certain strategic arrangements.
