Three Kingdoms: Wolong’s brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou
Chapter 610: Following history, sneaking across Yinping and cutting off Cao Cao’s retreat!
“It’s not difficult to break through this sword pavilion.”
Xiao Fang smiled indifferently.
Everyone was startled when they heard this.
The terrain of Jiange is steep, and everyone has seen it with their own eyes.
Prime Minister Xiao actually said that Jiange is not difficult to break through?
This is a bit of an exaggeration.
“Prime Minister, how do you plan to break through?”
Liu Bei asked curiously.
“Jiangge is like a hard-to-chew iron plate, but we know it is a hard plate, so why do we have to confront it head-on?”
Xiao Fang asked back.
“iron plate?”
Liu Bei looked confused.
Xiao Fang took his time and told everyone his brilliant plan.
Liu Bei’s eyes widened, filled with surprise.
The faces of the generals on both sides were filled with surprise.
Liu Bei immediately ordered someone to fetch the map of Shu and placed it in front of the tent.
He and his ministers moved closer to the map and studied Xiao Fang’s strategy carefully.
“This plan is truly a unique one that has never been seen before!”
“Only Prime Minister Xiao could come up with such a brilliant plan!”
Pang Tong looked at Xiao Fang in amazement and excitement.
“Yes, this plan is really ingenious.”
“After this battle, Cao Cao determined that we would storm Jiange.”
“All his troops will be concentrated on the Jiange front to confront us.”
“Cao the thief never expected that we could bypass Jiange and attack him from the side and rear!”
“This plan of the Prime Minister is truly brilliant!”
Fa Zheng praised.
Xiao Fang smiled and looked at Liu Bei:
“Your Majesty, it seems this plan is feasible.”
Liu Bei nodded and said happily:
“It’s feasible, of course it’s feasible!”
“Prime Minister, this plan is brilliant and absolutely feasible!”
Liu Bei had to act according to the plan.
At this time, Pang Tong reminded:
“However, this plan is also extremely risky.”
“After all, that road is rarely traveled, and I’m afraid it won’t work.”
Pang Tong’s worry calmed everyone down.
Liu Bei frowned and looked at Xiao Fang.
Xiao Fang said:
“There is nothing in this world without risk.”
“The greater the risk, the greater the reward.”
“It depends on your majesty whether you dare to gamble your luck.”
Liu Bei fell into deep thought.
The greater the risk, the greater the reward…
He chewed on these words, his eyes showing understanding.
After a long while, Liu Bei said happily:
“The Prime Minister’s words make sense. Let’s follow his plan!”
“Everyone, who is willing to implement this plan?”
Liu Bei’s gaze swept over the generals.
There was a buzz inside the big tent.
Zhang Fei and other generals volunteered to fight.
Everyone knows how important this battle is.
If this battle is successful, Jiange will be destroyed without a fight.
Once Jiange is lost, Cao Cao will no longer have any strategic location to defend.
The Han army will attack Jiange from the north and take Chengdu directly.
The Qin Dynasty was destroyed in the blink of an eye.
This is a great achievement in destroying a country!
How could the generals not strive for such merit?
When Liu Bei saw that all his generals wanted to fight, he didn’t know who to let take on the important task.
After hesitating for a while, he had to look at Xiao Fang.
“Prime Minister, who do you think is the most suitable?”
Liu Bei pointed at the generals and asked.
Xiao Fang said: “Naturally Zhuge Dan is the most suitable for this position.”
Zhuge Dan!
Everyone’s eyes turned to the young general.
Even Zhuge Dan raised his head and looked at Xiao Fang in disbelief.
He couldn’t believe that Xiao Fang would recommend him.
Zhuge Dan knew that Xiao Fang was cultivating him and giving him opportunities.
But what he didn’t expect was that Xiao Fang would give him the great achievement of destroying the country.
He couldn’t believe the importance he received.
“Prime Minister, do you really…really want him to go?”
Liu Bei wanted to confirm again.
Zhuge Dan has extraordinary talents, but he is still young.
He was worried whether Zhuge Dan could handle such an important task.
Xiao Fang said:
“Your Majesty, Zhuge Dan is more suitable for this battle.”
“I still say the same thing. Zhuge Dan will take on this responsibility!”
Liu Bei fell silent.
He couldn’t understand why Xiao Fang valued Zhuge Dan so much. But he knew that he just had to trust Xiao Fang.
The people Xiao Fang used never made a mistake.
This time is no exception!
Thinking of this, Liu Bei readily agreed:
“Okay! I will follow the Prime Minister’s recommendation.”
“Zhuge Dan, I grant you 7,000 elite soldiers. Go from Yinping to Jiangyou and cut off Cao’s retreat!”
Liu Bei gave an order.
The plan to sneak across Yinping was proposed by Xiao Fang.
Looking back to the past, when Sima Zhao conquered Shu, it was Zhuge Dan who launched a surprise attack on Yinping and crossed the natural barrier of Jiange.
Today, history has changed, but Jiange remains majestic.
Jiangyou City is still strong and the Yinping Road has not changed.
Xiao Fang wanted to follow history, sneak across Yinping and break through the Jiange defense line.
The person who carried out this plan was none other than Zhuge Dan.
Zhuge Dan couldn’t believe that Liu Bei would entrust him with such an important task.
The young general stood there in a daze and even forgot to take orders.
Xiao Fang said calmly:
“This is a great achievement in destroying a country.”
“Could it be that you don’t dare to take on this responsibility?”
One word awakens the dreamer.
The great achievement of destroying a country!
These four words boosted Zhuge Dan’s fighting spirit.
“Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!”
“Thank you, Prime Minister, for the recommendation!”
“I, Zhuge Dan, guarantee with my life that the mission will be accomplished!”
Zhuge Dan bowed to Liu Bei and resolutely accepted the order.
That night.
Zhuge Dan led 7,000 elite troops and headed straight for Yinping at night.
The Yinping Road starts from Yinping City, crosses more than 200 miles of dangerous roads, bypasses Jiange, and goes straight to Jiangyou City.
Zhuge Dan led this Han army, first to Yinping, and then approached Jiangyou City.
In order to protect Zhuge Dan, Liu Bei launched a fierce attack on Jiange Pass.
Only one purpose:
Draw Cao Cao’s attention to Jiange and buy time for Zhuge Dan.
…
Seven days later.
Climb over the last hill.
Zhuge Dan pointed his spear at the ground, looked forward and looked into the distance.
A city is visible.
“We’ve arrived at Jiangyou City!”
Zhuge Dan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was tired, his face was filled with a relaxed expression.
The Han troops behind him cheered and leaped for joy, as if they had been reborn.
They went through hardships, crossed mountains and rivers, and suffered countless casualties.
Of the seven thousand soldiers, at least two thousand remained in the wilderness.
At this time, I finally came out, how can I not be excited
Zhuge Dan cheered himself up and slowly stood up.
He wiped off the sweat stains and said sternly:
“Brothers, take Jiangyou City.”
“Follow me down the mountain to seize the city and kill!”
Zhuge Dan rushed down the mountain.
The Han army soldiers rushed down the mountain like wild beasts.
At this moment, he was like a tiger descending from the mountain.
The dry food they brought with them had long been used up.
There is no trace of food and supplies to bring back.
If we don’t capture Jiangyou City, we will only starve to death.
Now they are fighting a bloody battle for survival!
Survival will turn an old, weak and exhausted army into the most ferocious fighters.
What’s more, they are a group of elite troops.
Flatten Jiangyou!
With this thought in mind, everyone rushed down the mountain and headed towards Jiangyou City.
Jiangyou City.
The Qin soldiers on the city wall were yawning and waiting for their shift change.
The defending general Ma Miao stretched and planned to leave the city and return home.
After all, there is Jiange to the north, and Jiangyou City is the rear base, so there is no threat at all.
Ma Miao was just patrolling the city for show.
Just as he was about to enter the mansion.
Sudden.
A horse came galloping and fell to the ground.
“General, general!”
“Something bad happened!”
“Countless Han troops rushed down from Beishan and headed towards our Jiangyou!”
“What did you say?”
Ma Miao turned around suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost, and asked excitedly:
“Why are there Han troops in Jiangyou?”
“Weren’t the Han troops blocked by Your Majesty at Jiange?” (End of this chapter)
