Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

"Kong Ming!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei found Zhuge Liang and frowned and said, "It's as you expected, Chen Mo went south."

Zhuge Liang was not anxious when he heard this. This was predictable. Even though Zhuge Liang had blocked the border, he only blocked some important roads. There were many ways to spread the news. This was a fact and an inevitable matter for Liu Bei to enter Sichuan. Otherwise, how could he compete with Chen Mo only based on the three counties of Jingzhou?

This time, Liu Bei left Sichuan, in order to prevent the unstable rear, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all stayed. Most of the military generals who followed Liu Bei into Sichuan were Jingzhou generals, such as Wen Pin, Wang Wei, Kou Feng, Liu Pan, and Liu Hu. In addition, Chen Dao followed, but the counselors were mainly Chen Gong, and Zhuge Liang was in charge of the overall situation.

"Kong Ming, you are talking! Now the army has been taken to Xichuan by my brother, and there are only 30,000 newly recruited soldiers in Jingzhou. Nanyang has made detailed news. This time, Chen Mo led his troops south and mobilized a total of 500,000 troops. How can we resist it just by relying on our people??" Zhang Fei couldn't help but urge him when he saw Zhuge Liang not speaking for a long time.

The 500,000 army was naturally a fiction. Zhuge Liang nodded and looked at the two of them and smiled: "Liang is prepared for himself. Jiangdong should come to help in this matter."

"Kong Ming..." Guan Yu frowned when he heard this, "Then Chen Mo's trip to the south this time should be a false number, but there should be 200,000. With such a great momentum, will Jiangdong come to help?"

"The so-called lips are dead and cold. As long as Sun Quan does not want to surrender to Sun Ce, he must help." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh. Doing this was actually a bit unauthorized. Originally, they were the main force against Chen Mo. Now that Liu Bei left, he would pull Jiangdong over in advance to serve as cannon fodder for them.

But there is no way. If you don’t cheat Jiangdong at this time, Liu Bei will never have the chance to get Shuzhong. Now Zhuge Liang’s strategy actually means to turn the table up. I want Shuchuan, you have to come and help, so when talking to Jiangdong, you must have a soft attitude, just...

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

"What does your sigh mean?" Zhang Fei was inexplicably seen by Zhuge Liang.

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

"I can't beat 200,000, but 500,000?" Zhang Fei felt that Zhuge Liang was in a bad mind.

"It is good to have more troops, but the food and grass consumption of 500,000 troops will be heavy, so Chen Mo will definitely choose to fight quickly, and it is difficult to capture it in a hurry. The food and grass alone will be enough to make him unsustainable. What's more, the command of the 500,000 troops is also a problem. Chen Mo is a soldier immortal. If he really commands the 500,000 troops, he may not be able to catch it. The more urgent this, the more likely it is to make mistakes, and it will be difficult to take into account the number of troops. For 500,000 to attack, our army has the Han River and Xiangfan defense, which is easy to block." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "But with Chen Mo's personality, as Yun Chang said, most of the 500,000 is just an imaginary number."

Zhang Fei grinned: "Two hundred thousand, what is the chance of winning?"

"If only our army is going to have a few points, then that's a few points." Zhuge Liang sighed.

I don't think I'll lose a point!

Zhang Fei was a little irritable. No matter how reckless he was, he would not feel that he could win with 30,000 and 200,000. Chen Mo was the one who led the army. He had never seen any loss in the past few years of fighting in the south and north. Zhang Fei also experienced the elite of the Guanzhong army last time in Nanyang.

"That's why we need to ask Jiangdong to help." Seeing that Zhang Fei was not speaking, Zhuge Liang smiled and stood up and said, "Two generals, don't be anxious. I have asked Gongyou to go to Jiangdong to ask for help. Before that, we still need to win a battle!"

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

"Xinye is the gateway of Jingxiang. Chen Mo went south and must use this place as his camp. We should go to Xinye first." Zhuge Liang pointed to the map and said: "Xinye Guard Huang Li is a general under Zhang Liao. This person has a calm personality. If he attacks for a strong force, he will suffer heavy losses. He should use a plan to lure him out of the city!"

"How to lure?" Zhang Fei said after hearing this.

"Yide leads 3,000 troops to attack Deng County. Deng County and Xinye form a horn. Once Deng County is in trouble, Xinye will be alone. Huang Li will definitely come to rescue him!" Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "You can lead Ji Ling to lead two thousand troops to Xinye. After Huang Li leads his troops to fight, he immediately pretends to be the defeated army in Nanyang and deceives Xinye. Tell Ji Ling that after capturing Xinye, he will immediately set off wolf smoke. As long as Yide sees the wolf smoke rising here, he will immediately give up Deng County and attack Huang Li back to attack Huang Li, lure the defenders of Deng County out of the city. Yun Chief, you lead a thousand troops to lie here in advance. When Deng County pursues Yide, you will lead your troops to fight out. It is naturally best if you can lose and seize Deng County. If you cannot, you can join Yide to kill Huang Li first, and then break Deng County!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded, and immediately began to order troops to go out. Ji Ling was arranged to cross the Han River at night and lurked outside Xinye. Zhang Fei ordered his troops and horses to attack Deng County early the next morning. Guan Yu led his own army to lie 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 a defeated army in Deng County. Shortly after Huang Li left, he went to Xinye. Xinye did not have Huang Li's presidency. He didn't know what to do. In the end, Ji Ling let him go into the city, but Ji Ling took advantage of the situation to capture Xinye and notified Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was originally a feint attack on Deng County. After receiving the signal from Ji Ling, he withdrew his troops without hesitation and rushed straight to Huang Li. The two sides fought against the Han River. Seeing this, the guards of Deng County immediately led their troops out of the city to attack Zhang Fei with Huang Li, but were killed by Guan Yu who had already lurked on the side. In the chaos, he knocked the guards of Deng County with one knife and defeated the defenders of Deng County. After attacking Deng County, only 300 people were left in the city, and he led his troops to attack Huang Li's rear formation.

Huang Li was outnumbered and was defeated by Zhang Fei to find the right time to kill him directly among the chaotic troops. Both Xinye and Deng County were lost!

"Bang!" Wancheng, General's Mansion, Zhang Liao received the news of the fall of Xinye and Deng County the next day. Zhang Liao slapped Zhu Jian on the table with a gloomy face: "Our army has not yet moved its troops, and I don't want the Jingzhou army to provoke us at this time!"

Cui Geng looked at the letter on the side and thought for a while and said, "The Jingzhou Army is ready for this time. The battle between Xinye and Dengxian cities is linked together. Now the two cities have been lost. If you want to retake it, you may need to destroy some tricks."

"Xinye is the gateway to Jingzhou. When he first stepped down from Xinye, he was preparing to attack Jingxiang in the future. Now the lord's army has passed Yique and is about to arrive. At this time, Xinye has been lost. Before the war has begun, our army has lost its spirit!" Zhang Liao frowned and said, "Deng County can ignore it, but Xinye must be recaptured!"

"Report~"

At this moment, a general rushed over and bowed outside the door and said, "General, the front line is urgently reported."

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

"After the Jingzhou army captured Xinye, it moved all the people of the two counties out, and is now strengthening the two counties." The general bowed and said.

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Try again!"

"Here!"

Zhang Liao turned around and looked at Cui Geng and said, "Beron is guarding here, I should go to break through Xinye in person."

"Then Zhuge Liang is very tricky, so the general should be very careful." Cui Geng instructed.

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

"The last one is here!" Zhu Sheng stepped in and bowed to Zhang Liao.

"For you three thousand soldiers and horses, set off immediately and rushed to Xinye. I will personally pick up the troops and then arrive!" Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

"The last general will take the order!" Zhu Sheng nodded and agreed, turning around and leaving.

On the other hand, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Ji Ling, with Zhuge Liang's strategy, not only easily defeated Xinye, but also killed nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses in Nanyang, but lost less than 20% of the opponent. It can be said to be a great victory. After the battle, Zhuge Liang rushed to Xinye to deploy defenses.

"Kong Ming, why are you here in person? Although Xinye is in trouble, Zhang Liao will definitely not be willing to give up. The next battle is the next!" Zhang Fei looked at Zhuge Liang happily and said with a smile.

"The purpose has been achieved. If Zhang Liao comes, he will inevitably be fierce. Xinye small town is not enough to defend, so he should withdraw his troops immediately!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Huh?" Guan, Zhang and Ji were stunned when they heard this. Ji Ling glared at him, "Military advisor, this city that he had finally captured is just like this? Then why do we want to attack the city?"

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

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Attacking Xinye is to destroy Chen Mo's place of foothold here. Now Xinye has been broken, and if we fight Zhang Liao here, no matter the outcome, our army will suffer heavy losses."

"Where is no one who can't die in war?" Zhang Fei said dissatisfied.

"If you defend Xiangfan, you will destroy one thousand enemies and lose two hundred of them. If you defend Xinye, you will destroy one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of them." Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan and looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Yi De thought, how to defend it?"

"There is no reason to hand over the city that has just been captured." Zhang Fei said with a depressed look on his face.

"Of course not. I brought a lot of fire-driven things this time. After the army withdrew, I would spread the fire-driven things all over the city. Just when the enemy came in, I set fire to this city!" Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "You can defeat the enemy for a while."

When the three generals heard this, they looked at Zhuge Liang in shock. Kong Ming looked at him with a gentle and gentle manner, but he was ruthless enough to start.

"Appoint the soldiers to migrate the people quickly. They must move all the people in Xinye before the enemy arrives!" Zhuge Liang didn't want to explain too much. Winning three games in a row is enough to let Jiangdong see their strength. At that time, the cooperation between the two sides will not make Jiangdong feel at a disadvantage. This war was launched to achieve political goals, and now the purpose is almost done, so there is no need to fight with Zhang Liao here.
