Chapter 168 One Hundred Thousand People In Xiangyang Are Just His Cannon Fodder! 【4】
"Hold the people south?"
Liu Bei's eyes were blank and he couldn't comprehend for a while.
"Liu Wu is cruel, and everyone in the world knows it."
"What we have to do is to spread rumors in Xiangyang City, saying that after Liu Wu destroys Xiangyang, he will definitely slaughter the entire city."
"In this way, the people all over the city must be terrified and frightened, trying to flee the city for their lives."
"My lord announced again at this time that the general will lead the army to retreat south to Jiangling, and the people in the city who are willing to follow can go south with the army.
"One hundred thousand people from Xiangyang going south will definitely block the road. In this way, even if Liu Wu wants to chase after him, how can he catch up with the lord!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and expressed his plan in a calm tone.
Everyone was shocked, and their astonished gazes gathered at Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei also changed his face, and said in surprise: "Military Master, although your plan is feasible, it is to use the people of Xiangyang as a stumbling block to Liu Wu. If I really use this plan, I don't know how many people will die under Liu Wu's iron cavalry. How can I bear it!"
"Yes, military division."
Huang Zhong also stood up and objected: "The lord has always been benevolent and righteous. If you sacrifice the people like this, it will not damage the name of the lord's benevolence and righteousness!"
Everyone present questioned Zhuge Liang's strategy.
But Zhuge Liang sighed softly, and asked back: "Liu Wu810 is cruel, even if these people don't follow us to the south, after he captures Xiangyang, do you think he will let these people go?"
Huang Zhong and the others were dumbfounded.
"These people went south with the lord, although some people will die under Liu Wu's butcher's knife, but at least most of them can still escape.
"In this way, they can not only escape, but also delay Liu Wu, buying enough time for the Lord to retreat south."
"As long as the lord is alive, he will be able to lead the people of Jingzhou to resist Liu Wu's invasion, and then he will have the chance to save millions of people in Jingzhou.
"My lord's actions only sacrificed a small number of people, but saved the people of the entire Jingzhou!"
"This is the true benevolence and righteousness of the lord."
Zhuge Liang was generous and put on a righteous hat for Liu Bei.
Liu Bei fell silent, there was no conflict in his eyes, and he had obviously accepted Zhuge Liang's strategy.
Huang Zhong and other locals in Jingzhou were still talking about it. Although they understood what Zhuge Liang said, they still couldn't accept it.
"Every one of you wants to evacuate to Jiangling smoothly, but you are also afraid of being infamous for hurting the people. There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world."
"If anyone of you has a perfect plan, say it now!"
Zhuge Liang's eyes were stern, and he asked everyone.
Huang Zhong and the others looked shocked, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.
No one questioned it anymore.
Zhuge Liang bowed deeply to Liu Bei: "My lord, please put the millions of people in Jingzhou first, and use Liang's strategy!"
The ladder has reached such a point, Liu Bei has no reason to be entangled.
With tears in his eyes, he lamented: "For the millions of people in Jingzhou, for the common people in the world, and for the society of the Han Dynasty, I can only use the strategy of a military adviser, only~~"
North of Xiangyang City, Shuying on the south bank of the Han River.
Guo Jia pushed Cao Cao, speared the boat, and boarded the trestle bridge.
Liu Wu, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward, took the wheelchair, and pushed Cao Cao to board the water camp.
"My son-in-law's unprecedented pontoon plan, sneaking across the Han River, is really the first person to create the world, and he is destined to be famous in the history of the country's war!"
Cao Cao sighed in admiration.
Liu Wu laughed it off.
Guo Jia followed with a smile and said, "Your Highness has severely injured Liu Bei. The enemy army in Xiangyang is less than 10,000. Once our army of 100,000 besieges the city, Liu Bei will definitely die this time!"
"Not necessarily."
But Liu Wu said sarcastically: "My elder brother is best at running away when the situation is not good. I think he is planning to abandon Xiangyang and flee to Jiangling.
Cao Cao's eyes moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Why did your son-in-law say that?"
"Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Bei has never been trapped in a lonely city. Never has the situation been bad, and he fled first when he abandoned his family and children. This time is no exception."
"The south of Jiangling City is on the Yangtze River. After he escapes, he will not worry about being surrounded by our army and become an isolated city. If the situation is not good, he can enter the Yangtze River through the waterway and flee to the four counties in Jingnan.
"If it were the father-in-law, would he stick to Xiangyang to the death, or would he retreat to Jiangling?"
Liu Wu expressed his judgment unhurriedly.
If Cao Cao has realized something.
Just then.
Wen Chou rode his horse and shouted: "Your Highness, my scout just sent back the news that Liu Bei has abandoned Xiangyang and fled south!"
really.
Cao Cao's expression was shocked, and he couldn't help admiring: "My son-in-law really knows everything like a god." The big-eared thief really abandoned Xiangyang and fled south. "
Liu Wu looked as usual, and asked with a sneer: "If this king's guess is right, he not only abandoned the city and fled, but also kidnapped hundreds of thousands of Xiangyang people, and followed him to abandon the city and flee to Jiangling?"
Wen Chou was startled, and exclaimed: "Your Highness is really a man of God, and Liu Bei did indeed spread rumors that His Highness would massacre the city after breaking Xiangyang, so he frightened the ignorant people, dragged their families and fled south with him."
Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other, and the two gasped, obviously amazed at Liu Bei's every move, but they couldn't escape Liu Wu's eyes.
"My son-in-law, Liu Bei can escape on his own, why does he bring the people of the city with him? Are you not afraid of becoming his burden?"
Cao Cao questioned again.
"Xiangyang to Jiangling, three hundred miles away, he has only 10,000 infantry, how could he escape the pursuit of the king's iron cavalry.
"He didn't take all the people in the city to flee out of good intentions, but he wanted to use these hundreds of thousands of people as cannon fodder to prevent the king from chasing and killing him!"
Liu Wu exposed Liu Bei's intentions in a sarcastic tone.
Cao Cao suddenly realized, and couldn't help scolding: "The son-in-law is right, the big-eared thief is hypocritical, but his mind is the most vicious. He can definitely do such a thing!"
"Although Liu Bei is hypocritical, I don't expect him to think of such a method. This is probably Zhuge Liang's important task.
Liu Wu sneered.
"Well, although this plan is poisonous, it is quite subtle. It should be that Kong Ming wrote it."
Cao Cao nodded slightly, but said: "But Liu Bei's poisonous plan, my son-in-law, if you send troops to pursue it, you will definitely hurt the people of Xiangyang, and you will get a bad name for slaughtering innocent people. It fell into Liu Bei's arms, but if you don't pursue it, it will be tantamount to letting Liu Bei go. Fleeing safely to Jiangling is really a dilemma."
"Father-in-law, don't worry."
Liu Wu smiled coldly: "This king has already thought of a strategy, which can not only chase Liu Bei, but also not hurt the innocent people in Xiangyang!"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up. .
