- w Zhuge Liang was shocked and a little embarrassed.
Just a moment ago, he had calmly said to his brother that Yan Liangjuan would not defeat Yuan Tan in a calm tone of "strategize and win the battle thousands of miles away."
But in the blink of an eye, Liu Qi's envoy told him that Yan Liang not only defeated Yuan Tan, but also returned to Xiangyang with the residual power of the victory.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang felt like he was being humiliated. He felt that his judgment, which he had always been proud of, was being humiliated mercilessly.
And the person who humiliated him was Yan Liang.
again.
Next to him, Zhuge Jun also shrunk his mouth into an exaggerated round shape, as if he thought he had an illusion.
What he said just now was just to interfere with Zhuge Liang's judgment and to save the losing chess game. In fact, in his heart, he had always believed in his second brother's judgment.
Zhuge Jun never expected that his few jokes would turn into cruel facts in the blink of an eye, and his mouth would become a veritable crow's mouth.
There was silence in the bamboo hall.
Time seemed to have frozen, and the two brothers of the Zhuge family were frozen there with different shocks.
After a while, Zhuge Liang began to regain his composure. He coughed a few times, picked up the fallen chess pieces slowly, and slowly rearranged the disrupted chess game.
"Since Yan Liang has returned to the army, the eldest son must have led his army back. As for how to deal with it, I will discuss it with him in person after the eldest son returns to Jiangling."
Zhuge Liang said calmly. He thought Liu Qi sent an envoy just to ask him what to do.
Who would have thought that the envoy said: "Zhou Mu is still holding back his troops at the moment. I came here just to ask you whether we should withdraw our troops or continue to besiege Xiangyang."
"What. The eldest son hasn't withdrawn his troops yet!"
Zhuge Liang's expression changed immediately, the clouds were swept away by the light breeze, and he couldn't help but asked in surprise.
The messenger was startled. Busy nodded.
Zhuge Liang couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and paced back and forth. The anxiety is evident in the color.
Zhuge Jun next to him said: "The battle at Yan Liang is over. After the troops return to Xiangyang, they must rest for a while before taking action again. It is not too late for the eldest son to withdraw his troops now. Why is the second brother so anxious?"
"What do you know? That Yan Liang took all the trouble to rush back to Xiangyang from Wancheng at night, must be to catch the eldest son off guard. The eldest son can withdraw his troops immediately. If there is a little delay, disaster will surely happen."
Zhuge Liang¡¯s words. Zhuge Jun was frightened when he heard this.
The messenger also looked horrified when he heard this, and asked anxiously: "If this is the case, what should we do?"
Zhuge Liang stopped and said in a deep voice: "You will set off for Xiangyang immediately. Don't delay for a moment on the way. You must tell the eldest son as soon as possible and ask him to return to Jiangling immediately. Go quickly!"
He shouted loudly at the end of his words, which only made the messenger tremble with fright, and he hurriedly said goodbye.
Watching the envoy leave, Zhuge Liang walked outside the door. Looking to the north, for the first time in my life, my eyes were wavering.

Chang'an City, Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the bright lobby, Cao Cao and his subordinate Wen Wu were enjoying the singing and dancing of the beautiful girl in front of the hall.
In recent days, Cao Cao's mood has been getting better and better.
Not long ago, Yuan Shao became king, which really annoyed him for a while, but the recent news about Yuan Shao's worsening condition came back from Yecheng, which made Cao Cao relieved.
To the west of Guanzhong, the Xiliang princes such as Ma Teng and Han Sui who fled back to Longxi and Liangzhou are still attacking each other endlessly. In a short time, the Xiliang army will still fall into internal fighting and have no time to endanger Guanzhong.
In Hanzhong in the south, Zhang Lu, the leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect, expressed his loyalty to the imperial court. Not long ago, he sent an envoy to present a large number of gifts.
Zhang Lu's oath of allegiance undoubtedly added a bit of prestige to the small Chang'an court under Cao Cao's control.
Cao Cao also reciprocated the favor and formally appointed Zhang Lu as the prefect of Hanzhong in the name of the imperial court and promoted him to the title of Marquis of Nanzheng in recognition of his loyalty to the imperial court.
This recent incident made Cao Cao really happy.
Yuan Tan and Yan Liang started fighting again, and they were still fighting inextricably.
As the eldest son of the Yuan family, Yuan Tan is stationed in the Central Plains for his father. In the future, if Cao Cao raises his troops to go out and regain the lost territory, Yuan Tan will be his biggest enemy.And Yan Liang occupies the important territory of Nanyang. If Cao Cao sends troops to march into the Central Plains, Yan Liang will always threaten his flanks and rear.
Now, these two thorns in the side are fighting first, which is naturally what Cao Cao likes to see.
Yuan Tan paid a heavy price and defeated Yan Liang. Then Yuan's army split and he went out to the Guandong Campaign again. He drove the severely injured Yuan Tan out of the Central Plains, reorganized the mountains and rivers, and restored the lost territory.
This is the blueprint designed for Cao Cao by Xun Yu, his first adviser.
Therefore, when Yan Liang sent Yi Ji here, Cao Cao knew that Yi Ji was probably here to ask for help, but on the pretext that he was on official business, he left Yi Ji in the tavern and refused to see him.
The intelligence just came back a few days ago. Yuan Tan's tens of thousands of troops suppressed Yan Liang in Wancheng, unable to move. The Soochow Army in Xiakou and Liu Qi's Army in Xiangyang were also aggressive.
"Yan Liang, Yan Liang, it's really amazing that you have caused such a big wave on your own, but this time, you still won't be able to get through it"
Cao Cao thought this in his heart, but he also lamented the fate that his son-in-law would face. He secretly thought about how wonderful it would be if such a good general with both civil and military skills could be used by himself.
While thinking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and someone hurried in, it was Liu Ye.
The solemn expression of this counselor, who, together with Guo Jia, was in charge of Cao Cao's detailed operation network, seemed to be incompatible with the singing and dancing in the hall.
Liu Ye stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, the information just arrived from Nanyang indicates that the battle of Wancheng has been decided."
"Is it so fast?"
Cao Cao was a little surprised and waved away the dancers.
The lobby quickly became quiet. Everyone's ears pricked up.
"I thought that Yan Liang could hold out for a few more days and wear down Yuan Tan's troops a little more, but I didn't expect that the outcome would come so soon. Yuan Tan seems to be quite capable."
With Cao Cao¡¯s words, he obviously did not expect Yan Liang to reverse the situation.
Everyone also nodded slightly. Everyone was in the mood of watching a show, but they didn't notice Liu Ye's serious expression.
Liu Ye coughed a few times. He said slowly: "Prime Minister, Yan Liang was not defeated, it was Yuan Tan who was defeated."
One word. The entire lobby fell into silence.
Cao Cao¡¯s expression changed slightly and he tilted his ears, as if he thought he heard wrongly.
"Prime Minister, the Battle of Wancheng has ended. Yan Liang defeated Yuan Tan, captured eight thousand enemies, and surrendered Yuan General Zhang He. Yan Liang won this battle."
Liu Ye raised his voice and reported the situation word for word.
After a moment of silence, there was an uproar in the lobby. Everyone's faces were filled with surprise and they were talking among themselves. Everyone was shocked by the incredible outcome of the battle.
Cao Cao's face was also shrouded in shock, and he couldn't help but look at Xun Yu aside.
And the face of the Cao family's number one counselor was also filled with surprise and embarrassment at the moment, as if he couldn't understand his error in judgment.
After a long time, the lobby gradually became quiet. Cao Cao and his ministers had to accept this incredible fact.
His son-in-law of the Cao family, a warrior from a humble background, once again miraculously reversed his disadvantage and made the impossible possible.
"I didn't expect Yan Liang to be so strong. The current battle situation in Wancheng is like this. What can you say?"
Cao Cao's tone was a bit helpless and a bit complaining, as if he was secretly blaming the resourceful people under his command, but no one could predict that Yan Liang would win.
Everyone felt ashamed and remained silent.
At this time, Liu Ye in front of the steps said: "Yan Liang's victory is a foregone conclusion. Ye thinks that what the Prime Minister needs to do now is to appease Yan Liang as soon as possible and make a gesture of sending troops to support him. After all, Yan Liang has already matured. In order to Considering the overall situation, it is not appropriate to give him an excuse to rebel. "
Cao Cao looked around, and all the officials were silent.
After secretly gritting his teeth, Cao Cao sighed and asked, "Is Yan Liang's envoy Yi Jiao still in Chang'an?"
Liu Ye hurriedly said: "I have sent someone to inquire. Na Yiji is packing his bags right now and plans to leave Chang'an tomorrow morning. It is obvious that he has also learned the result of the Battle of Wancheng."
"That's all, let's go and tell him to come and meet him." Cao Cao waved his hand, his words showing helplessness.

Thousands of miles away, Xiangyang.
In the early morning of this day, this army, which had not been resting for a long time, once again marched out of Xiangyang.City, the big flag with the word "Yan" flutters proudly in the wind.
At this time, five full days had passed since Liu Qi's army was defeated.
According to Yan Liang's original plan, after returning to defeat Liu Qi's army, he would move non-stop and march south. With the residual power of his two great victories, he would advance by land and water directly towards Xiakou, catching the Wu army by surprise and completely driving the Wu people away. Out of Jiangxia.
But after the big victory that day, Yan Liang found that this was not realistic.
Although his army was brave and good at fighting, it was still made of flesh and blood. After two consecutive bloody battles, coupled with the fatigue of marching back to the army, the physical exhaustion of the soldiers had reached the extreme. Under such circumstances, they would go on a long-distance attack on Xia Dynasty. Mouth is obviously not a wise choice.
So, at Xu Shu's suggestion, Yan Liang chose to take a temporary rest and at the same time spread the word to the people of Wu, saying that Yan Liang would go to Jiangxia in person in the near future to fight Zhou Yu to the death.
?According to Xu Shu, the Wu army failed to defeat Xiakou repeatedly, and its morale was at the end of its strength. On the contrary, Yan Liang defeated the enemies on both sides, and the morale of the army was at its peak.
If Sun Quan was rational, he should immediately withdraw his troops back to Chaisang to avoid Yan Liang's attack and give up his attempt to capture Xiakou.
In this way, Yan Liang can resolve the crisis in Xiakou without spending a single soldier. This is the best strategy.
Yan Liang adopted Xu Shu's strategy, but not long after, he unexpectedly discovered that the effect of this strategy was completely opposite to what he expected.
Zhou Yu not only did not withdraw from the siege of Xiakou, but instead increased the strength of the Wu army in Hanjin upstream, assuming a posture of blocking Yan Liang's southward march and vowing to break through Xiakou.
Zhou Yu's paranoia left Yan Liang no choice. He resolutely decided to lead his army south to personally relieve the siege of Xiakou.
The army left the city in a mighty manner. Yan Liang stood on the shore and watched the soldiers boarding the boats one after another. Looking at the rolling Han River, cold murderous intent was gradually gathering in his blade-like eyes.
"Zhou Yu, let me see what is so magical about the legendary Koto Mizuro." You are welcome and your support is my biggest motivation. m - Didn't finish reading?
