The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

"Prime Minister, Old General Huang, at this moment our army is overwhelming and the morale is at its peak, so we should have gone straight to Shangbi in one go.

However, as far as the scouts know, there are also a lot of soldiers and horses in the direction of Shangyu City. The soldiers and horses that Xia Houyuan mobilized from the states and counties the day before yesterday are all in place.

At this moment, they claim to have an army of [-], which seems to be evenly matched.

However, these improvised armies will not have high combat effectiveness.

Therefore, our army's chances of winning are still very large. "

"Well, Boyue is young, but he has extraordinary insight. This old man is in admiration!"

After listening to Jiang Wei's analysis, Huang Zhong immediately praised loudly, his eyes full of admiration.

Zhuge Liang also nodded lightly, and continued: "Then how should we defeat the enemy based on Bo Yue's opinion?"

This time, Jiang Wei immediately frowned, thinking quickly in his heart.

Finally he said: "In Jiang Wei's opinion, the enemies of Shangbei have nothing to worry about.

However, Shangyu City is strong, and our army should not attack by force, otherwise it will inevitably suffer huge losses.

Therefore, from Wei's point of view, the strategy for defeating the enemy lies in cleverness rather than strength. "

"Oh? From Bo Yue's point of view, what a coincidence?" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

In fact, what Jiang Wei said was exactly what he thought, which made Zhuge Liang very satisfied.

Jiang Wei continued: "Xia Houyuan gathered all the armies of the four towns to Shangyu, precisely because he wanted to fight our army to the death.

The enemy relies on, one is a large number of soldiers, and the other is a strong city.

But our army was not as good as it wanted, and did the opposite, taking the opportunity to capture all those empty cities.

Seeing this, Xia Houyuan must have been impatient, and couldn't help leading troops out of the city to stop him.

At that time, as long as a brave and skilled general is sent to ambush outside the city, the enemy will suffer heavy losses.

When Xia Houyuan left the city, he was ambushed by our army.

If Xia Houyuan doesn't leave the city, our army will take the opportunity to continue attacking the city.

Until all the surrounding states and counties were taken down, only Shangbi was left as an isolated city.See how he still guards?

There is also a more important point, most of the soldiers and horses Xia Houyuan mobilized are natives of the surrounding counties.

Their homes were attacked, and their loved ones did not know whether they were alive or dead. The soldiers were naturally worried and even more unwilling to fight.

At that time, I am afraid that with just one word, countless soldiers will surrender in anticipation of the wind, and Shangyu City will be destroyed without attack. "

"Hahahaha! Boyue's words are exactly what I want!"

Zhuge Liang was very happy. He didn't expect that the other party's thoughts were exactly the same as his own.

After hearing this, Huang Zhong and others also expressed deep admiration, and even lamented that their decades of time were not as good as that of the weaker Jiang Wei.

Only then did I finally understand His Majesty's good intentions.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang finally started the next arrangement.

Huang Zhong led an army of [-] to the city of Shanggu, threatening Xiahouyuan's army.

Jiang Wei led an army of [-] to bypass Shangyu from the south and attack Mumen, Xixian, Rongqiu and other places.

Liang Xu led an army of [-] to bypass Shangyu from the north, and went straight to Wangyuan and Ji County, blocking Xiahouyuan's retreat.

Zhuge Liang himself led the remaining [-] troops, as a mobile force, on standby at any time.

After everything was arranged properly, everyone immediately took orders to go forward, each heading towards the target.

In addition, there is actually a large army on the way.

That was the [-] soldiers that Ma Chao had entered the deep mountain before.

After a long trek in the deep mountains and old forests, they finally found a way with the help of the Qiang people.

The path in the mountain was rough and difficult, and Ma Chao and his team suffered heavy losses.

However, after more than ten days, there was finally a harvest.

To the south of Shangyu, there is a place called Duangu, where Ma Chao's soldiers and horses passed by.

After passing through, he had come to the west of Shangyu City.

Ma Chao originally wanted to hit the opponent directly by surprise, but during this time, Xia Houyuan also mobilized a lot of troops.

At this moment, the people in Shangbi City were strong and the horses were strong, so Ma Chao, who did not carry heavy siege equipment, had no choice but to give up.

At the same time, he was worried about Huang Zhong's situation, so he immediately sent someone to contact Huang Zhong with a letter.

Huang Zhong's army rushed straight to Shangyu City.

However, at the foot of Maiji Mountain, twenty miles away from Shangbi, Cao Ren's army stopped him.

It turned out that since that day Huang Zhong's army took advantage of the thick fog to walk under the city of Shangyu.

Cao Ren was worried that the other party would go directly to the city again, so he immediately brought people here to guard, and finally blocked Huang Zhong today.
