- Chapter 241 The desperate Liu Bei
Cao Cao¡¯s move is quite sinister.
First, he loudly claimed to attack Hanzhong, which made Liu Bei mistakenly believe that Cao Cao wanted to use this as a cover to order Liu Feng to mobilize troops to Sichuan and then raid Jingzhou.
In this way, when Cao Cao's army reaches the front line of Wancheng in Nanyang, Liu Bei's side will think that it is expected and take no precautions. However, Cao Cao suddenly changes his tactics and the army rushes westward to the three eastern counties and heads straight towards Hanzhong. .
"No wonder Cao Cao, under the pretext of attacking Jingzhou southward, ordered Xiahou Yuan to attack Yangping. It turns out that he had a plan long ago and was waiting for me to transfer troops to Yangping. When the troops in the east were empty, he took advantage of the situation to attack quickly. This Cao Cao Thieves tend to be insidious."
Liu Bei cursed endlessly and was very angry that he had fallen into Cao Cao's trick.
Hanzhong is shaped like a peach stone. Its only long and narrow flat land is distributed along both sides of the Han River, sandwiched between the Qinling Mountains in the north and Daba Mountain in the south.
To the south, there are Micang Road and Jinniu Road connecting Xichuan.
To the north, Xie Valley, Luo Valley and Ziwu Valley are distributed in sequence from west to east. The three valley roads pass through the Qinling Mountains and are connected to Guanzhong.
Yangping Pass is located in the westernmost mountain pass in Hanzhong. From this pass, go north and take Chencang Road to reach Chencang City. Taking the main road to the west, you can leave Qishan and reach Longyou. If you go south and pass through Jiameng Pass and Jiange Pass, you can reach Chengdu directly.
Therefore, Yangpingguan is called the throat of Yizhou.
The easternmost point of Hanzhong is the Golden Guard. After passing this pass and heading eastward along the Han River, you can enter the East Three Counties.
Although the three counties in the east were nominally loyal to the imperial court, they were actually controlled by Shenyi and other local powerful people. These powerful people were able to protect themselves but could not pose a threat to Hanzhong.
Therefore, Liu Bei originally did not deploy many troops and horses in the Golden Guard. When the war at Yangping Pass became tense, he transferred the only troops and horses in the pass to the west.
Currently, there are less than 2,000 troops stationed in Huangjin garrison and the counties east of Hanzhong. Facing Cao Cao's sudden arrival of tens of thousands of troops, one can imagine how serious the situation is.
"When Cao Cao's troops entered Wancheng, Liang felt something was wrong. He didn't expect Cao's thieves to move so quickly. This deception method was really cleverly used."
Zhuge Liang¡¯s words now seem a bit like hindsight.
Liu Bei's expression became more and more serious, and he said silently: "If Liu Feng knew Cao Cao's true purpose, he would probably take advantage of it. If he mobilizes all his troops to attack from Yizhou, Hanzhong will be attacked on three sides. Wouldn't it be dangerous?"
Now it seems that Liu Bei's situation is indeed extremely unfavorable.
The Golden Guards was attacked, and it was impossible not to mobilize reinforcements. The war at Yangping Pass was already tight, and the number of troops that could be mobilized from there was naturally limited. Other than that, they can only mobilize troops from Jia Meng Lang. But in this case, the southern defense will be empty, and Liu Feng will take advantage of it.
Zhuge Liang, who was silent, suddenly had a stern look on his handsome face.
He took a deep breath, looked Liu Bei squarely in the eye and said, "My lord, the Golden Garrison is in imminent danger. We must mobilize our troops for reinforcements. According to Liang's plan, we might as well mobilize all 20,000 soldiers and horses from Jiameng to go for reinforcements."
"Trying all the troops of Jiameng?"
Liu Bei was taken aback and said anxiously: "If all the southern troops and horses are transferred eastward, and if Liu Feng takes advantage of the situation to attack north, what will he use to resist?"
An intriguing sly smile appeared at the corner of Zhuge Liang's mouth. He approached Liu Bei, lowered his voice, and almost whispered something.
Liu Bei¡¯s expression was one of surprise and hesitation for one moment, as if Zhuge Liang¡¯s words had put him in a difficult decision-making situation.
With thoughts rolling around in his heart, he had to stand up and pace back and forth in the hall to resolve the hesitation in his heart.
"Military advisor, your strategy is too risky. If your calculation is wrong, wouldn't it"
Liu Bei did not dare to say any more. He was frightened when he thought of the consequences.
After finally surviving the disaster, he miraculously won a place in Hanzhong. He really couldn't imagine where Liu Bei would go if this final base was lost.
"Lord, we are surrounded by enemies from all sides now. The situation is already in danger. If we continue like this, we will either die in the hands of Cao Cao or Liu Feng. Instead of struggling to survive in the cracks, why not let go Give it a try.¡±
Zhuge Liang's tone was unprecedentedly decisive, which actually shocked Liu Bei.
Shen was stunned for a while, and then a wry smile appeared on Liu Bei's face: "Military advisor, you have always sought to be foolproof in all your plans. Why did you decide to take such risks this time?"
Liu Bei's question made Zhuge Liang stunned for a moment, and then, his face was as light as the wind.?I couldn't help but feel a wry smile.
He shook his head and sighed: "In the past, Liang used tactics to be foolproof. That was because we were not desperate and did not need to risk everything. But now, without using this dangerous strategy, the business that my lord and I have worked hard to create will be successful." If we are going to be destroyed in one moment, instead of sitting back and waiting for death, why not risk our lives."
It¡¯s a good sentence to gamble your life on.
Life is just a big gamble.
Since my debut, I, Liu Bei, have never been gambling.
It¡¯s just that this time, all the family wealth will be gambled. If it fails, there will be no chance of comeback.
After a long silence, a chilling murderous aura suddenly burst out from those brown eyes.
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
A bloody battle is continuing above the Han River.
The battleship with the big flag of "Liu" flying high was galloping up the river, like the sharpest arrow, easily tearing Cao Jun's fleet into pieces.
Speaking of which, the so-called Cao Jun fleet was nothing more than a shabby stowaway fleet composed of hundreds of boats and temporarily ligated bamboo rafts.
Earlier, Liu Feng received a report from his scouts, saying that more than 3,000 Cao troops had quietly arrived at the white sand beach in the upper reaches of Fancheng, where the water was weak, in an attempt to secretly cross the Han River south from there.
After learning the news, Liu Feng decisively led the Xiangyang navy to attack and killed the enemy before they were halfway across.
Although the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou navy is far inferior to that of the Soochow navy, it is already quite gorgeous compared to Cao's army, which is so poor that it does not even have a decent fighting ship.
More than fifty large and small warships easily cut the enemy troops halfway across the river into two pieces. Then, the Jingzhou naval forces could rely on the advantage of the large ships to shoot and kill the northern landlubbers prostrate on the bamboo rafts from a high position.
This was a horrific massacre.
On the bow of the ship, Liu Feng bent his bow and fired an arrow. He loosened his fingers and an arrow shot through the air.
The sharp arrow hit an enemy soldier in the forehead. The poor guy groaned and fell into the water.
Within half an hour, the river was stained with blood, and countless corpses were floating on the water, like embellishments on a red carpet.
"Kill~~"
"Kill~~"
Amidst the thunderous roar, the warships moved towards the north bank, raining arrows were fired at Cao's army who had finally climbed up the river beach, and collapsed like a drowned rat.
In an instant, the river beach was once again bloody. The pebbles stained red by blood reflected a dazzling luster under the setting sun, like rubies inlaid with jade like Han River.
When Liu Feng was about to give the order to land ashore and carry out another killing spree to weaken Cao's army, a boat came galloping from the direction of Xiangyang.
The soldier who boarded the flagship raised his hands and said, "My lord, Commander Pang has something urgent. Please return to Xiangyang as soon as possible to discuss it."
Hearing this, Liu Feng had no choice but to restrain his unfulfilled murderous intention and ordered the fleet to turn back to Xiangyang.
After entering Xiangyang City, the news of the victory in the water battle inspired the soldiers and civilians of the city.
Liu Feng strode into the meeting hall, and said excitedly before entering the door: "Military advisor, you are really good at predicting things. The thief Cao really wants to sneak across from the upper reaches. If I kill him this time, his spirit will be greatly dampened."
"My lord, if you read this information, you will definitely be even more excited."
Pang Tong stroked his short beard and handed the silk book to Liu Feng.
When he came to take a look, Liu Feng's expression changed immediately. He paused for a moment and couldn't help but marveled: "This fellow Cao Cao suddenly marched into the three counties in the east and attacked Hanzhong in the west.
¡°This old thief, after making such a big circle, turned out to be paving the way for this move. It¡¯s so shady, it¡¯s so shady"
Not only Liu Feng, but also Pang Tong was quite sad.
Thinking about Cao Cao, he first made them think he was attacking Liu Bei, and then misled them into thinking he was attacking Jingzhou. At this time, the battle in Fancheng was in full swing, but things took a turn for the worse there, and Cao Cao suddenly went to attack Liu Bei again.
Coming and going, it¡¯s really confusing.
Liu Feng had to admit that this time Cao Cao used the art of attacking in the east and attacking in the west to the extreme.
He seemed to see Cao Cao's charred face, staring at him with sarcastic eyes and sneering.
"I think Cao Cao would never have thought of such a plan. The person who came up with this plan for him is probably the poisonous man."
The "poisonous scholar" mentioned by Pang Tong was none other than Jia Xu.
Liu Feng nodded slightly: "Cao Cao has many capable men, so we should not underestimate him. But now that Cao Cao has shown his true colors, and Liu Bei is under attack from both sides, should we take the opportunity to step in and not give Hanzhong an advantage over Cao Cao?"If Cao Cao captures Hanzhong, he will exert pressure on himself from Yizhou and Jingzhou at the same time. This is a result Liu Feng does not want to see.
"Hanzhong is the barrier in Shu. If it falls into the hands of Cao's thieves, the consequences will be disastrous. No matter what, we must be prepared now. Lord, I suggest that you issue an order as soon as possible and order the Yizhou armies to assemble at the Jiange line. Once Liu Bei's army is disintegrated If there are any signs, immediately send troops north to seize Hanzhong before Cao's thieves do."
Liu Feng was convinced of Pang Tong's plan, and he added: "Once Liu Bei is defeated, Cao Cao's army will flood into Hanzhong with nearly 200,000 troops. The Yizhou army alone may not be able to compete with Cao Cao. According to me, Look, we need to mobilize the Jingzhou Army to Sichuan for support."
The key point in Hanzhong is where Liu Feng won't sit back and watch it fall into Cao Cao's hands, even if he had to fight for it.
The two states of Jing and Yi have a total of 130,000 to 40,000 troops. With the home field advantage in central Shu, they may not be unable to compete with Cao Cao's 200,000 troops.
At this time, Pang Tong's expression calmed down, and there was some suspicion in his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, Pang Tong said: "I always feel that something is a little strange about the current situation. What exactly is strange, but I can't figure it out for the moment. Safety is the most important thing. I think it is better to leave Jingzhou's troops and horses temporarily."
