Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 618
At Gualijin Ferry, the camp of the Han army.

The convoy from Wancheng stopped in front of the camp gate, and Zhuge Liang got off the car.All the soldiers of the Han army guarding the camp paid respects to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang was very anxious, and hurriedly walked to the camp of the Chinese army.

In the camp, Liu Chan was discussing the military situation reported by Deng Ai with Wang Ping, Pan Jun and others.

Liu Chan pointed to Mrs. Lu and said, "Deng Ai drinks Maluo water and threatens Luoyang. If he can..."

"Your Majesty~"

Zhuge Liang walked straight in from outside the tent, followed by Lu Zhi.

Liu Chan raised his head to look at the tent door, saw that it was Zhuge Liang, and asked curiously, "Why did the Prime Minister come here all of a sudden?"

Zhuge Liang looked dignified, and said: "Your Majesty, Wei ceded Xiangfan to the Wu people and lured the Wu people to betray the alliance. Zhu Ran besieged Xiangfan City with ten thousand people..."

Before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Fu Xun from Yiyang County was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted extremely angrily: "Wu Dog is so cunning, you should eat his flesh and drink his blood, so that I can vent my hatred."

Most of the high-ranking scholars in Jingzhou present also cursed Soochow along with Fu Xun, and their words were extremely ugly.In their eyes, they finally returned to their homeland, and now they are stabbed in the back every time, making it difficult to return home.Moreover, the effort that the big man did in Nanyang was basically in vain, and the meat he ate was about to be vomited back to Wei and Wu.

Hearing the chaotic voices in the tent, Liu Chan suppressed his anger, sat down on the couch very calmly, glanced at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Masters in the hall, scolding at night until tomorrow, and scolding at night until night, how can you scold Sun Quan to death?" , Curse and retreat the army!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the originally noisy tent fell silent.Fu Xun cupped his hands in shame, and said, "Your Majesty is responsible for the crime, please punish me."

Liu Chan tugged at his neckline and said, "Thank you, the Prime Minister, to report on the battle report."

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands slightly, and said: "Zhu Ran raised an army of [-], and Lu Xun's [-] soldiers entered and besieged Xiangfan County. He held a letter from Cao Wei and ordered him to surrender. But Pu Zhong, the general of Xiangyang, did not want to surrender to Wu and wanted to offer land to our country. I dare not make a judgment lightly, so I went to the camp to ask the generals, and the matter of Xiangyang has been decided. Now that the rebellion against Wei is in the north, and the rebellion against Wu is in the south, our army is facing the enemy, so we need to discuss our military strategy early?"

Yang Yi didn't think too much, she cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, how can we not accept Pu Zhong's return today, and lead the generals to go south to join Pu Zhong, relying on the danger of Xiangfan, to resist the Wu people who invaded from the south."

Liu Chan sighed in his heart. As a native of Xiangyang, Yang Yi naturally hoped that Xiangyang people would be included in the big man's bag. His position was biased, and he needed to carefully consider his suggestion.

Liu Chan sorted out his thoughts and asked, "Why didn't the Prime Minister dare to accept Pu Zhong's surrender?"

Everyone in the tent suddenly realized, yes!How could the military vision of the above prime minister not know the importance of Xiangfan City, Pu Zhong offered the city to surrender, is there any need to hesitate?
Zhuge Liang handed the letter to Liu Chan and said: "Your Majesty, there is something strange about Pu Zhong's return to our army. Our army wrote a letter to persuade Pu Zhong to surrender, but Pu Zhong firmly defended the city and refused to surrender. According to his letter, he would not I would like to live in the waters and soils of the south of the Yangtze River, miss the north, and do not want to serve Sun Quan's unsuspecting people."

"But judging from the current situation, if there is no accident when Wu soldiers arrive in Xiangfan, my Han soldiers will retreat soon and return to the country. Why did they send letters to us? Moreover, Pu Zhong is a Wei minister, and Zhu Ran has Cao Rui's edict. Why? Do you not want to surrender? It is because the old minister thought that Pu Zhong offered the city and surrendered, and I am afraid that he is not sincere."

yes!In the eyes of discerning people, the current situation of the Han Dynasty is basically about to defeat Nanyang and return to the domestic rhythm.Now at this time, it is strange that Pu Zhong Xiancheng surrendered!
Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and said: "My old minister thought that this strategy of the Wei people would be to imitate Han Xianxian's strategy!"

Pan Jun nodded and agreed: "The Prime Minister's words are true. Pu Zhong's surrender is deceitful, so don't take it lightly. As far as the current situation is concerned, the situation of our great Han is quite precarious. If there is no Xiangfan, it may be difficult to complete this Eastern Expedition." This is why Pu Zhong dared to dedicate a letter to the city at this time."

The big man wants to continue to fight at present, the most important thing is to defend Soochow's attack in the south. If he wants to hold Soochow's attack, the big man will send soldiers to defend the southern line of defense.

But with the current strength of the big man, it is impossible to divide the troops into two groups, since there is not enough troops.If you want to resist the attack of Soochow, you can only rely on the second city of Xiangfan on the Hanshui defense line.

This is also the reason why Pu Zhong surrendered to the Shu Han and pretended to surrender to the Shu Han, because judging from the current situation, the big Han needs the second city of Xiangfan.

Under the narration of Zhuge Liang and Pan Jun, the atmosphere in the tent became a little dignified.

Under the severe situation, everyone involuntarily turned their attention to Zhuge Liang.

"Does the prime minister have a plan?" Yang Yi asked.

Zhuge Liang shook his head bitterly, and stopped talking.

Everyone's hearts sank, and they didn't know what to say.

Pan Jun sighed and said, "Looking at the current situation, our army may have to withdraw."

"Hey!"

Fu Xun patted his thigh and sat in the corner sullenly.

Liu Chan, who was silent for a long time, said: "Looking at the strength of our army, if we want to break the game, the first thing is that Xiangfan cannot fall into the hands of the Wu people. Second, we need to quickly retreat Cao Rui's army. If the two can be combined, we can break the game and stabilize Jingjing. north."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone turned their hopeful eyes to Liu Chan, waiting for the emperor's strategy.

Before Liu Chan opened his mouth to continue his narration, the long-lost familiar voice resounded outside the tent.

"What His Majesty said is very true, and Li also thinks so."

As soon as the words fell, Liao Li, who was dressed in rags, walked into the tent under the surprised eyes of everyone, with Zhuge Qiao behind him.

Liao Li knelt down and saluted, and said: "My minister Liao Li pays homage to His Majesty. I am going to Soochow as an envoy today, but I can't do my best. Instead, I made the Wu people betray their alliance. Please forgive me!"

There was a smile on the corner of Liu Chan's mouth, and he helped Liao Li when he came out of the case, and said: "I haven't heard from you, and I miss you very much. Now that you can see that you are well, I will be enough. And whether the Wu people betray their alliance or not depends on Sun Quan, who is safe." You can blame Qing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty~"

Liao Li got up and bowed to the surrounding civil and military personnel, and towards Liu Chan in the middle, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, when I was sent as an envoy to Soochow, Sun Quan asked our country for Xiangyang County, and I wanted to delay it. Unexpectedly, at night, Sun Quan Then ordered people to hunt down Bosong and me."

"In the background, I thought that the Wei people had promised the Wu people to separate Xiangyang and let the Wu people go north. And the Wei people were afraid that after the Wu people seized Xiangfan, they didn't want to have too much hostility with us, the Shu Han, and resorted to the strategy of diverting disasters to the east. Therefore, Pu Zhong was ordered to feign surrender to our country in the name of devotion, and lead our country to go south to fight with the Wu people, so that they can profit from it...”

"So if I want to break the situation, I should use Xiangfan to reject Wu, so that the Wu people can't go north." Liao Li said in a deep voice.

Based on the conjectures of Zhuge Liang and Pan Jun, together with the words of the experiencer Liao Li, the truth of all this has been completely revealed for everyone in Shu Han!
However, everyone still has a headache, knowing what the inside story is about, Pu Zhongxing's double-decker strategy, and has no connection with the Shu Han, An Neng is a great Han occupying Wu.

Liao Li tactfully handed the stage back to Liu Chan, and said: "As for the strategy, Li has never done it before. I don't know what strategy your majesty has, you can teach me."

Everyone put their hopeful eyes on Liu Chan again, waiting for the emperor's solution to break the situation.

Feeling the fiery gazes of everyone and the details that Liao Li just added, Liu Chan thought deeply and said: "The current situation is complicated and intertwined. Wei fears that Wu will not be able to do his best, so lead us to go south and fight against the Wu people. The Wu people may have different opinions. You are willing to attack me with all your strength, and you have the heart to occupy Xiangyang County."

"Wei and Wu are dirty and can't be united. I, a big man, can use them. Wei led us to go south to fight with the Wu people. One is to make the Wu people do their best to attack the Han. The other is that Wei doesn't want to let Xiangfan enter. The hand of Wu wants to protect the country."

As he spoke, Liu Chan stood up and said in a deep voice: "So I thought we should send someone who can speak eloquently, tell the envoy Pu Zhong, talk about his pros and cons, and lure him to temporarily refuse to cut off the city and the Wu people, and let him make meritorious deeds for this." World."

After a pause, Liu Chan pointed his finger at Luoyang and raised his voice and said, "If Xiangfan refuses to give in to the Wu people, our army should attack Luoyang quickly and force the Wei army to retreat to Baoluo. Then move the army south to face Wu and force the Wu army to retreat."

Liu Chan's meaning is very simple, Wei Guo does not want to completely cede Xiangfan to Wu Guo, and the big man can start from here, persuading Pu Zhong to stick to the city and buy time for the big man.At this time, the big man was going to send troops to Luoyang to force the Wei army to retreat.Once the Wei army retreats, the big man will have room to go south to force the Wu people to withdraw.

In this plan, there are two problems to be solved. One is to persuade Pu Zhong not to dedicate the city to the Wu people, and the other is to attack Luoyang City and force Cao Rui to return to the army.

As he spoke, Liu Chan glanced at the crowd and asked, "Is there anyone going to send Pu Zhong as an envoy today?"

As soon as this remark came out, the silent crowd became even more dead silent.

After a while, one person came out and said, "I would like to use my penetrating tongue to benefit the Han!"
