The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 435 Shi Tao's Ruthless Plan
After everyone laughed enough, they asked Shi Guangyuan, "Mr. Shi, why didn't General Liao Hua come?"

Shi Guangyuan said: "I sent him to guard the camp fifteen miles to the south, and Liao Sheng to guard the camp thirty miles to the east of Dangyang City. So neither of them is in the city now."

Liu Chan nodded, feeling that it was time to eat.He sent someone to call Zhuge Qiao, and the four of them had a simple meal together.

Then, everyone came to the study in the house and began to discuss the next action plan of the Jingzhou Army.

Liu Chan first asked him about the battle in Jiangling City during the four days when he went south. Originally, Zhuge Qiao was in charge of this matter, but when they were on their way, the information they got was not timely.

Therefore, this question needs to be answered by Wang Fu.Wang Fu said: "Due to the existence of carrier pigeons, even if our army is unable to make a surprise attack to Jiangling City, we can get in touch with Mi Fang and General Yu Jin in the city, but we can get detailed information about the city almost every day."

Then, Wang Fu told Liu Chan everything about Zhou Tai's plan to use Guan Yu's head to lure the troops in the city to surrender, and the Wu army's attack on Jiangling City recently.

Liu Chan's face was serious when he heard it, and he even seemed quite indignant.Everyone knows that Liu Chan must be angry about Guan Yu's head.But everyone didn't know what to say about it now, and the room immediately became silent.

According to the memory of Yang Hansheng in his previous life, Liu Chan knew that Soochow sent Guan Yu's head to Xuchang in another time and space, and Cao Cao buried Guan Yu generously instead.It's just that because the Wu army captured Jiangling City easily at that time, there was no scene where Zhou Tai used Guan Yu's head to lure him to surrender.Therefore, Liu Chan does not know now what Sun Quan will do with Guan Yu's head next.

Liu Chan then asked Wang Fu, "Then what will Sun Quan do with my second uncle's head?"

Wang Fu shook his head and said very sadly: "This lower official didn't get the exact news, I hope they can treat the corpse of the prince well!"

Liu Chan nodded.In his heart, he really hoped that Guan Yu's body could be recovered, because this would definitely have a very good appeasement effect on the morale of the entire army.However, it is not easy to get it back, I am afraid that Sun Quan will not agree easily.

Liu Chan then asked Shi Guangyuan, "Mr. Shi, can we send someone to negotiate with Sun Quan and ask him to exchange my second uncle's body for us?"

Shi Guangyuan was taken aback for a moment, how could such a thing be possible?For Sun Quan now, Guan Yu's head is definitely a good medicine to boost the morale of the army, how could it be easily returned?If we wait until the end of the Jingzhou battle, there may still be some chances.

Shi Guangyuan rubbed his hands and sighed: "I'm afraid this is impossible. Even if Sun Quan gave it to Cao Wei to continue to drive a wedge between us and Cao Wei, he would definitely not give it back to our army."

Shi Guangyuan was really powerful, and explained the tricks of that old guy Zhang Zhao in one sentence.Of course, Liu Chan knew this period of history in his heart, and he could only sigh inwardly. Sure enough, manpower is limited.

Shi Guangyuan obviously saw the disappointment on Liu Chan's face. After waiting for a while, he suddenly said, "However, you can't ask for help. If it's an exchange, maybe it's feasible."

Liu Chan's eyes lit up when he heard it, but he said with some doubts: "Exchange? Mr. Shi, what's the meaning of this?"

Shi Guangyuan tapped the table in front of him a few times with his fingers, and said in a sinister way: "It's a dead body for a dead body!"

Everyone in the study couldn't help but groaned, all for Shi Guangyuan's words, which felt a bit unbelievable. Of course they had done the exchange of items, but they had never heard of exchanging corpses.

Liu Chan quickly asked: "What is the explanation of Mr. Shi's words?"

Shi Guangyuan glanced at everyone present and hesitated a little.In fact, Shi Guangyuan felt in his heart that, as a dignified celebrity, he actually came up with such a strategy, which was a bit out of style, failed the teachings of the saints, and was even despised by others.

But seeing Shizi's longing expression, Shi Guangyuan sighed inwardly, anyway, now that Jingzhou Army and Wu Army have become mortal enemies, there is no need to be too rigid.

Only then did Shi Guangyuan say: "The so-called general wants to take it first. That is to say, our army can design to kill a general of the enemy army, and then send someone to negotiate with Sun Quan, so that the two sides can exchange each other's corpses!"

Liu Chan knew that in foreign history, it was not uncommon for nobles to exchange the corpses of their enemies because of wars.But in the history of the Celestial Dynasty, I am afraid that there are very few of them.Because they generally bury respectable enemies directly and locally to show their magnanimity.For the hated enemy, it would be all kinds of insults, and even crush them to ashes, leaving no bones left.

What's more, Liu Chan has always paid attention to the principle of fairness, and actually agrees with Shi Guangyuan's strategy very much in his heart.Therefore, Liu Chan smiled unexpectedly: "Mr. Shi's plan is very clever. Even though my second uncle's corpse is very important to the Wu army, in order to maintain the hearts of the soldiers, Sun Quan, even if he is unwilling in his heart, will take action. We can only agree to the exchange of corpses between the two parties."

Since Wang Fu had something to do with Guan Yu, a close superior, he couldn't care about customs and etiquette, so he nodded in agreement with Liu Chan's statement.

But Zhuge Qiao was an exception, and said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will insult the deceased, is it not appropriate?"

Of course, Liu Chan knew Zhuge Qiao's thoughts, but he didn't care about the way of a saint now, and sometimes people always have to be more idealistic in doing things.

Therefore, Liu Chan waved his hand to Zhuge Qiao, and said, "Let's settle this matter like this first, Aqiao, you should just stop aside for now." Directly blocked Zhuge Qiao's right to speak, lest he, who is usually very well-behaved, People, at this time, they will argue with themselves and Shi Guangyuan and get angry.

Zhuge Qiao had no choice but to bow his head and fell silent.

Since Shi Guangyuan and Wang Fu are most familiar with the situation of the Wu army in Jiangling City, Liu Chan asked Shi Guangyuan: "Mr. Shi, if our army wants to implement this strategy, it will always be to target a certain main force in the Wu army." Only generals can hit the target with one blow. Then, which Wu general do you think is the most suitable candidate?"

After exchanging opinions with Wang Fu, Shi Guangyuan and Wang Fu said, "The most suitable candidate is, of course, Lu Meng, Lu Ziming, the commander-in-chief of the Wu Army."

Liu Chan's heart sank when he heard that.Lu Meng, it is estimated that it is impossible to realize this strategy, although his value is indeed the person who is most likely to be equal to Guan Yu.

Liu Chan shook his head and said: "As the governor, he commands thousands of troops. It would be extremely difficult to kill this person in the army formation."

Shi Guangyuan nodded, he was indeed thinking the same as Liu Chan.He continued: "Then for the rest of the candidates, we should not only measure their value, but also the ease of killing them. The first two are Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. Both of them possess extremely high martial arts skills. , both of whom were born as thieves, and their temper is violent. It is not impossible to kill such a person."

Wang Fu continued: "However, Zhou Tai's martial arts skills are really extremely high. It seems that no one in our army is his opponent. Jiang Qin, General Liao Hua and Captain Zhao Feng may be able to fight against him."

Liu Chan nodded.He actually cared more about Zhou Tai in his heart. After all, Zhou Tai was Sun Quan's great benefactor, and it was impossible for Sun Quan to let Zhou Tai's dead body go.

But Shi Guangyuan obviously had his own opinion, and said: "Actually, Jiang Qin is a more suitable candidate for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin. Because his army is actually twenty miles south of General Liao Hua's barracks. , the defense of our army will launch a surprise attack on the rear of Wu Jun's troops attacking Jiangling City."

Liu Chan considered that the morale of the Jingzhou army here is now low, and if they attack, their combat effectiveness will be much lower than before.I'm afraid it will be very difficult to deal with Zhou Tai, so it is indeed better to deal with Jiang Qin.

Liu Chan immediately seconded Shi Guangyuan, saying: "Sir, what you said is reasonable, then let's discuss the strategy to deal with Jiang Qin first. Then, we will discuss the next strategic arrangement of Jingzhou."

Naturally, Shi Guangyuan and Wang Fu would not object.
