The Nameless of the Common Clans

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

"Kong Ming!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei found Zhuge Liang and frowned: "As you expected, Chen Mon went south."

Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry when he heard this. This was something that could be expected. Even if Zhuge Liang had blocked the border, he had only blocked some important roads. Xizuo had many ways to spread the news. It is a fact that Liu Bei entered Sichuan. It is imperative, otherwise how can we compete with Chen Mo with only the three counties of Jingzhou?

This time Liu Bei left Sichuan. In order to prevent instability in the rear, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stayed behind. Most of the generals who followed Liu Bei into Sichuan were Jingzhou generals, such as Wenpin, Wang Wei, Kou Feng, Liu Pan, and Liu Hu. In addition, they were Chen Gong followed, but in terms of counselors, Chen Gong was in charge, while Zhuge Liang sat in the rear and presided over the overall situation.

"Kong Ming, you are talking! Now the army has been taken to Xichuan by my brother. The number of newly recruited soldiers in Jingzhou is only 30,000. According to the news from Nanyang Xizuo, Chen Mo has sent his troops south this time and has mobilized enough How can we resist an army of five hundred thousand?" Zhang Fei couldn't help but urge when he saw Zhuge Liang didn't speak for a long time.

The army of half a million is naturally an imaginary number. Zhuge Liang nodded, looked at the two of them and smiled and said: "Liang is well prepared. Jiangdong should be asked to come and help in this matter."

"Kong Ming..." Guan Yu frowned when he heard this and said: "Then five hundred thousand should be an imaginary number when Chen Mo goes south this time, but there should be two hundred thousand. With such a huge situation, Jiangdong will come to help?"

"The so-called lips are broken and the teeth are cold. As long as Sun Quan doesn't want to surrender to Sun Ce, this favor must be done." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh when he said this. This was actually a bit unreasonable. Originally, they were the main force against Chen Mo. Now that Liu Bei is gone, it is equivalent to Pull Jiang Dong over in advance to be cannon fodder for them.

But there is no way. If he doesn't trick Jiangdong at this time, Liu Bei will have no chance to take Shuzhong. Now Zhuge Liang's strategy is actually a bit overturned. I want Shuchuan, and you have to come to help, so talk to Jiangdong. Sometimes, the attitude must be soft, but...

Zhuge Liang looked up at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and sighed again.

"What do you mean by sighing!?" Zhang Fei was confused by Zhuge Liang's look.

Zhuge Liang naturally couldn't express his thoughts, but said helplessly: "If Chen Mo really sends 500,000 troops, Liang won't be too worried."

"You can't beat him with 200,000 yuan, but 500,000 yuan?" Zhang Fei felt that Zhuge Liang was out of his mind.

"It is good to have more soldiers, but an army of five hundred thousand will consume a lot of food and grass. Therefore, Chen Mo will definitely choose to fight quickly. It is difficult to capture in a hurry. The loss of food and grass alone is enough to make him unsustainable, let alone fifty Commanding an army of ten thousand is also a problem. Chen Mo is a soldier immortal in this world. If he really commanded five hundred thousand I am afraid that the army is not strong enough. The more urgent it is, the more likely it is to make mistakes, and it will be difficult to balance the number of troops. If we attack with 500,000 troops, our army has Hanshui and Xiangfan defenses, but it will be easy to block it." Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "But in this way. Chen Mo's character, as Yun Chang said, most likely the five hundred thousand is just an imaginary number. "

Zhang Fei grinned: "Two hundred thousand, what are our chances of winning?"

"If it's just our army, and Yide thinks it's a few points, then that's a few points." Zhuge Liang sighed.

I feel like I don’t have a single point, I’m going to lose!

Zhang Fei was a little irritated. No matter how reckless he was, he would never think that he could win with thirty thousand against two hundred thousand. The leader was Chen Mo. In these years of fighting in the south and north, he had never lost. The elite of the Guanzhong Army, Zhang Fei Fei also experienced this last time in Nanyang.

"That's why we need to ask Jiangdong for help." Zhuge Liang saw that Zhang Fei didn't speak, so he stood up with a smile and said: "Two generals, don't be anxious. I have asked Gongyou to go to Jiangdong for help. Before that, we still need to win. A fight!”

"How to fight, Kong Ming, tell me!" Zhang Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Zhuge Liang and said.

"Xinye is the gateway to Jingxiang. Chen Mo will use this place as his camp when he goes south. We will go to Xinye first." Zhuge Liang clicked on the map and said, "Xinye guard Huang Li is Zhang Liao's general. He has a calm personality. If he attacks by force, he will be defeated." The damage will be heavy, so we should use tricks to lure him out of the city!"

"How to seduce?" Zhang Fei asked after hearing this.

"Yide led three thousand troops to attack Deng County. Deng County and Xinye are at odds with each other. Once Deng County is lost, Xinye will be alone, and Huang Li will definitely come to rescue him!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "I must order Ji Ling to lead the army. Two thousand people lay in ambush on the side of Xinye. After Huang Li led his troops to the expedition, he immediately pretended to be a defeated Nanyang army, defrauded Xinye, and informed Ji Ling that after capturing Xinye, Set off the smoke immediately. As soon as Yide sees the smoke rising here, he will immediately abandon Deng County, attack Huangli, and lure the Deng County defenders out of the city. Chief Yun, lead a thousand troops to lie down here in advance, and wait for Deng County to pursue Yide. When the time comes, lead your troops to fight out. If you can capture Deng County, it will be the best. If not, you can join forces with Yide to kill Huang Li first and then defeat Deng County!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded, and immediately began to organize their troops to go out. Ji Ling was arranged to cross the Han River at night and lurk in the new wilderness. Zhang Fei ordered all his troops and horses to attack Deng County early the next morning. Guan Yu led an army to ambush. Outside Deng County.

After Huang Li learned that Deng County was attacked, as Zhuge Liang expected, he led his troops to help Deng County. Ji Ling pretended to be the defeated army of Deng County and came to Xinye not long after Huang Li left. Xinye did not have Huang Li in charge, and he did not know what to do. It was good, but he finally relented and let Ji Ling enter the city, but Ji Ling took advantage of the situation to capture Xinye and set off wolf smoke to notify Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was pretending to attack Deng County. After receiving the signal from Ji Ling, he withdrew his troops without hesitation and attacked Huangli. The two sides fought a battle on the bank of the Han River. Upon seeing this, the Deng County defender immediately led his troops. He left the city and prepared to attack Zhang Fei with Huang Li, but he was killed by Guan Yu, who had been lurking on the side for a long time. Among the rebels, he killed the Deng County defender with a sword and defeated the Deng County defender. After entering Deng County, he only Leaving 300 people in the city, he led his troops to attack Huangli's rear formation.

Huang Li was outnumbered. When he was defeated, Zhang Fei found the right opportunity and killed him directly among the rebels. Both Xinye and Dengxian cities fell!

"Bang!" In Wancheng, the General's Mansion, Zhang Liao received the news of the fall of Xinye and Deng County on the next day. Zhang Liao slapped the bamboo paper on the table and said with a gloomy face: "Our army has not yet mobilized troops. We don't want to This Jingzhou army dares to provoke us at this time!"

On the side, Cui Geng looked at the letter, thought for a while and said: "The Jingzhou army came well prepared this time. The battles for the two cities in Xinye and Deng counties were closely linked. Now that the two cities have been lost, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recapture them." Need to use some tricks.”

"Xinye is the gateway to Jingzhou. When we conquered Xinye by force, we were preparing to invade Jingxiang in the future. Now that our lord's army has passed Yique, it will be here soon. At this time, we have lost Xinye. Before the war started, our army has already lost it. "Energy!" Zhang Liao frowned and said, "Deng County can ignore it, but Xinye must be taken back!"

"Report~"

At this moment, a general rushed over, bowed outside the door and said: "General, urgent report from the front."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Liao asked.

"After the Jingzhou Army conquered Xinye, they moved out all the people in the two counties and are now reinforcing the two counties." The general bowed.

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Let's explore again!"

"Here!"

Zhang Liao turned around, looked at Cui Geng and said: "Berun is here to guard, I will go to attack Xinye myself."

"Zhuge Liang has many tricks, general, be very careful." Cui Geng warned.

"Don't worry, Bo Lun." Zhang Liao nodded and shouted to the door: "Zhu Sheng!"

"The general is here!" Zhu Sheng strode in and bowed to Zhang Liao.

"With your three thousand soldiers and horses as the vanguard, we will set off immediately and rush to Xinye. I will personally lead the troops and arrive soon after!" Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

"General, take your orders!" Zhu Sheng nodded in agreement, turned around and left.

On the other side, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Ji Ling used Zhuge Liang's strategy to not only easily defeat Xinye, but also ambushed nearly five thousand soldiers and horses in Nanyang. Their own losses were less than 20% of the opponent's. It was a great victory. However, after the war, Zhuge Liang was Rush to Xinye in person to set up defenses.

"Kong Ming, why are you here in person? Although the new field has fallen, Zhang Liao will not give up. The next step will be a war!" Zhang Fei looked at Zhuge Liang happily and said with a smile.

"The goal has been achieved. If Zhang Liao comes, his force will be fierce. The small town of Xinye is insufficient for defense. We should withdraw our troops immediately!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Huh?" Guan and Zhang Ji were stunned when they heard this. Ji Ling glared and said, "Commander, the city we finally conquered is just surrendered like this? Then why do we attack the city?"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also frowned and looked at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The purpose of attacking Xinye is to destroy Chen Mo's foothold here. Now that Xinye has been destroyed, if we fight Zhang Liao here, our army will suffer heavy losses regardless of victory or defeat."

"How can anyone not die in a war?" Zhang Fei said dissatisfied.

"If you defend Xiangfan, you will defeat a thousand enemies and suffer a loss of two hundred. If you defend Xinye, you will defeat a thousand enemies and suffer a loss of eight hundred." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Yide thinks, how can we defend it instead?"

"There is no reason to give away the newly conquered city." Zhang Fei said with a depressed look.

"Of course not. I brought a lot of fire starters this time. After the army withdrew, I spread the fire starters all over the city. When the enemy came in, I set fire to the city!" Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Yes. Can defeat the enemy for a while.”

When the three generals heard this, they looked at Zhuge Liang in astonishment. Kong Ming looked polite, but he was ruthless.

"Hurry up and arrange for the soldiers to relocate the people. We must move all the people from the new field before the enemy comes!" Zhuge Liang didn't want to explain too much. Winning three games in a row was enough to let Jiangdong see their strength. When the time comes, Cooperation between the two sides will prevent Jiangdong from feeling disadvantaged. This war was originally launched to achieve political goals. Now that the goal is almost achieved, there is no need to fight Zhang Liao here.

The three of them heard the words and immediately went to prepare. By the time Zhu Sheng led the vanguard and arrived at Xinye, Xinye was already an empty city. Zhu Sheng did not know what was going on and entered the city rashly, but was trapped by a fire by Zhuge Liang's men. Of the three thousand vanguard troops, less than a thousand escaped with Zhu Sheng, and Xinye was burned to the ground. The battle of Xinye also ended with the destruction of Xinye City.
