Three Kingdoms: Counselor, You Still Say You Don't Understand Strategy?

After all, for Sun Quan, this kind of thing can't be shamed. This can be seen from the fact that Lu Su only brought a message and did not leave any letters.

It's just that Lu Meng has always been his right-hand man. He is currently assisting him in dealing with Jiangling's affairs. He has already used it easily, and he is really reluctant to send Lu Meng to Hefei.

What's more, Cao Jun was currently eyeing him outside the city, and he couldn't do without Lü Meng.

Shaking his head, Zhou Yu asked, "My lord, aren't there veterans such as Cheng Pu, Han Dang, etc.?"

The scout said helplessly: "General Cheng Pu fell ill when he arrived in Hefei, and was sent back to Lujiang by the lord to recuperate. As for the old general Han Dang... Because of protecting the lord, he was shot by Zhang Liao, and now he is also sent back to Lujiang to recuperate."

"This……"

Zhou Yu didn't know what to say.

The two veteran Jiangdong generals, with rich combat experience, even had to call their uncle's tiger general in private, but they quit the battlefield just like that.

That is to say, there is no general available around the lord at this time.

No wonder Lu Su was anxious.

It's just that compared to Hefei, Jiangling is naturally more important.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "Go back and tell Zijing, let him persuade your lord to retreat. Now that my army has taken Jiangling, please send an army of [-] troops to reinforce Jiangling after the lord has withdrawn."

"In this way, I can take advantage of the situation to take Xiangyang, and then take down the four southern counties, then Jingzhou, except Jiangxia, will be in the hands of my Jiangdong, and then the lord will be able to compete with Cao Cao head-on."

"Nuo, I'll go back and return to my life immediately." The messenger stood up and bowed his hands, then retreated.

"Okay, you all retreat, remember to strictly guard against Cao Jun." Zhou Yu was also a little disillusioned and waved his hand.

The crowd will leave.

But Lu Meng stayed.

"Zi Ming, what's the matter?" Zhou Yu looked at Lu Meng and asked.

"Captain, is it wrong for you to reject Lord Lu's proposal so openly?" Lu Meng frowned and said worriedly, "The last general suspects that this is actually what the lord meant, and just told the governor through Lord Lu's mouth. "

"Of course I know, but I have to do it." Zhou Yu shook his head, "I have to help the lord take Jingzhou, so even if I quit the underground in the future, I will be content."

As he spoke, Zhou Yu couldn't help coughing twice.

"Captain, your body?" Lu Meng asked nervously with a startled expression.

"It's just an old problem."

Zhou Yu waved his hand, indicating that Lu Meng should not worry.

"The governor should take care of your health." Lu Meng persuaded him, and then continued, "In addition, regarding the Jiangling matter, the governor has fully accepted the hearts of the people. Although the situation in Jiangling has been stabilized, it has offended the Jiangling family, and I am worried that the governor will continue to do so again. Suspected by the lord, when the governor returns to Jiangdong, there may be a catastrophe."

"We'll talk about the future." Lu Meng shook his head disapprovingly. "The most urgent task is to defend Jiangling. After the lord's reinforcements arrive, take Xiangyang!"

"What if the lord doesn't retreat?" Lu Meng asked back.

Zhou Yu was choked.

He thought about it, and with Sun Quan's unyielding character, he might not necessarily retreat.

He could only sigh and say, "If the lord can defeat once, he can defeat the second time. Zhang Liao has been fighting in the north and south for many years, so it is not so easy to deal with."

"After the lord loses again, we can only retreat and support Jiangling. What we have to do is to defend until the lord's reinforcements arrive."

Lu Meng nodded silently.

"Report!"

suddenly.

Another scout with a tired face ran in outside and shouted loudly: "Report to the Governor, a large number of Cao troops have been found near Changbanpo, and there are about [-] troops watching the army."

Zhou Yu's expression changed, and he quickly got up from the stool, looked at the scout and asked, "Who is the leader?"

"Cao's army is under the banner of Cai, and the leader is Cai Mao, the prefect of Xiangyang." The scout replied.

"Cai Mao, didn't he lead the troops to Jiangxia?" Lu Meng glanced at the scout in surprise, then looked at Zhou Yu, and said suspiciously.

"At that time, we inquired about the news that there was a soldier and horse that left the city from Xiangyang and went to Jiangxia with great fanfare along the way." Zhou Yu nodded, and then continued, "Now it seems that this must be Nasu Jijiu's suspicious plan. Let us mistakenly think that all the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City went to Jiangxia, which forced Liu Bei to rush out of the city and go back to save Jiangxia."

"Now it seems that the real purpose of the Su sacrifice wine is to force Liu Bei away, and then wait for the reinforcements from Xiangyang to come, and then take Jiangling!"

After Zhou Yu's analysis, Lu Meng said subconsciously, "But even if Cai Mao brings reinforcements, Cao's army will not be able to defeat Jiangling?"

"That's what I'm suspicious of."

Zhou Yu frowned, thinking non-stop in her mind.

So what is the conspiracy of Su Jijiu?

Just after thinking for a while, Zhou Yu didn't have any clues in his mind, so he simply stopped thinking about it, shook his head and said, "No matter what strategy he has, our army can't stand it."

Maintaining the status quo!

"promise."

Lu Meng cupped his hands, and then suddenly said, "Yes, the governor, more than ten li outside the city, there is a Cao army. According to the scouts, this Cao army is the militia from the beginning. Suspect that Su sacrifice wine is in the camp, why don't the last general lead an army and try to make a surprise attack?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while, then refused: "No, how do you know that this is not a trick of Nasu's sacrifice wine? The more you do, the more wrong you will be, and now it's better to have less trouble."

"The last will know." Lu Meng nodded.

At the same time, Cao's military camp.

Su Chen couldn't help sneezing, and then continued to fiddle with a gadget in his hand.

If Zhuge Liang or Huang Yueying were here, they would be able to recognize that Su Chen was making a repeating crossbow.

As for why Su Chen was able to make a repeating crossbow, it was naturally because of the letter Huang Yueying sent back from Xuchang.

The design and production method of the repeating crossbow are recorded in detail.

It was a matter of confidentiality, and Su Chen didn't feel relieved to hand it over to the accepted craftsman, so he simply planned to try it out himself.

Of course, it is no longer called Zhuge Liannu.

According to Huang Yueying, he was originally going to be named. Although Su Chen was thick-skinned, he was too embarrassed to respond, so he called Su Clan's Repeater for the time being.

"With the repeating crossbow, I can think about cultivating a special force." While Su Chen was making it, he was thinking about his future plans.

……

After several hours of marching, Liu Bei's army finally came to the vicinity of Yidao. This was the main route from Jiangling to Yiling, and it was also the most suitable place to set up an ambush.

Therefore, before the troops and horses came, Liu Bei sent a large number of scouts to inquire along the way.

The result surprised both Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

There was no sign of Cao Jun ahead.

It's just that after Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were ambushed twice, they both had some psychological shadows, so they did not relax their vigilance, but walked through this place cautiously.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief until the army had all left.

"Ha ha……"

After the army was safe, Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing.

"Why is the strategist laughing?" For some reason, when he heard Zhuge Liang laugh, Liu Bei couldn't help but look around, seeing that there was no Cao Jun, so he looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.

"It's me and the lord who thought too much. How smart Su Jijiu is, he must have guessed that we would see through his tactics, so we didn't bury any more soldiers in ambush." ​​Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.

"Yes." Liu Bei nodded.

Knowing that burying an ambush will be seen through, then there is no point in sending an ambush here.

"My lord, after passing through this place, the road ahead will be smooth. There should be no more Cao's army in ambush. Our army can quickly pass to Yiling Ferry." Zhuge Liang said.

"it is good."

"Order the whole army to speed up the march."

Following Liu Bei's order, the [-]-odd Liu army immediately accelerated.

After a moment.

Just as the army passed a corner, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang saw Cao's army lined up in front of him.

Immediately.

Liu Bei was silent, he turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang silently.

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but turn pale.

Again.

He just finished saying that there would be no ambush, but the ambush appeared, and he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

Nasu sacrifice wine is completely unreasonable.

Thousands of Cao troops did not go to Yidao to set up an ambush, but ended up stationed here, waiting for them to lead the army?

The road here is smooth, how could the [-]-strong army stop more than [-] soldiers and horses! .

Chapter 188

Zhuge Liang's depression was even seen by Liu Bei.

He wanted to comfort Zhuge Liang a few words, but the words came to his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak.

This is really annoying.

He suspects that this is Nasu offering wine ~ Chunxin to tease them.

But no matter what, the most important thing at the moment is to return to Jiangxia as soon as possible, and other things can be put aside for the time being.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei immediately calmed down.

"military adviser."

Liu Bei said solemnly: "In the front, Cao Hong's army intercepted, and then Wei Yan and Cao Ren were chasing soldiers. What should our army do now?"

Hearing Liu Bei's inquiries, Zhuge Liang finally regained his composure.

He gritted his teeth and pointed to Cao Hong's army in front of him and said: "My lord, let Yide and Zilong lead the army to rush over. Only by defeating Cao Hong's army can our army go to Yiling Ferry, otherwise if we wait for Wei Yan and Cao Ren's reinforcements to arrive, then Cao's army will come Attacking from the front and back, our army will be difficult to care about, and there will be no doubt that we will lose."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."
