Chapter 269
There was an inexplicable excitement on Zhuge Ke's face. In fact, Zhuge Ke had a plan a long time ago, a plan to destroy the Wei army's food routes and force Sima Yi to retreat.
However, this plan is extremely difficult to implement. The main reason is that the Wei army has set up a large number of checkpoints at the pass between Yiyang and Jiashi, which greatly reduces the space for Wu Guo to move and makes Wu Jun unable to
Effectively grasp the time and route of the Wei army's grain transportation.
Only knowing the existence of the grain road without knowing the time and route of transporting grain is equivalent to a failure. Zhuge Ke had a plan but never implemented it.
Now the Wei army is attacking Jia Shikou all the way. Although it is blocked by Guichou Stream, the Wu army has been in a passive situation. In order to reverse this situation, Zhuge Ke even thought about many ways, but they lacked the conditions for implementation, and none of the ways was specific.
action plan.
After learning the specific time and route of the Wei army's food transportation through Qin Yuan, Zhuge Ke could not conceal his excitement. He summoned the generals overnight to discuss the military situation, and wanted to work out a plan to attack the Wei army's food road.
"General Zhuge, could this be a trap by the Wei people? Sima Yi is a treacherous and experienced man, and food supply is a top priority. How could he let us succeed so easily? I'm afraid there's something fishy about this. I hope General
Mingcha." Lu Ju immediately expressed his opinion.
Lu Ju's opinion is not unreasonable. Who is Sima Yi? He is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. He has no plans. How can he ignore such an important matter as the grain road? He must ensure 100% safety.
, there must be no leakage. If Wu Jun can successfully sneak attack, then Sima Yi may not be Sima Yi.
However, Liu Zan's opinion was different from Lu Ju's. He said: "No matter how powerful Sima Yi is, he is still old and comatose. That's why he did what he did to force him to rebel against Qin Yuan. The Wei army's food road stretches for two to three hundred miles, and they also
It is impossible to set up defenses everywhere. As long as our army captures a few, ambush them and burn their food and grass, we can win."
Tang Zi also agreed: "Yes, the general also believes that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Whether he can defeat the Wei army depends on this."
Although the generals had different opinions, Zhuge Ke seemed to have his own ideas. Especially after learning that Cao Liang was in the Wei army's food team, it strengthened Zhuge Ke's idea. Even if this is an adventure, it is worth it.
He gave it a try for once.
Maybe hatred can really make people lose their minds, but Zhuge Ke doesn't think so. Hatred may make him a little more impulsive, but he will never lose his mind. Even if he takes risks, he will at least control them within the range that he can bear.
Guilty, not suicidal action.
Zhuge Ke said to the generals: "A certain person on the Qin Yuan side has tested it repeatedly, and there is no inconsistency in his words. The situation of the Wei army described is roughly the same as what our army has carefully investigated.
At least from the current point of view, Qin Yuan's return is trustworthy. The information he provided about the Wei army's food transportation is extremely important to us. If we can seize this opportunity and cut off its food and grass, we can
But it forced the Wei army to retreat without a fight, so we should not miss this opportunity. But in order to avoid falling into the Wei people's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, we still have to be prepared."
Zhuge Ke immediately ordered two groups of troops. Half of the 50,000-strong army was left to garrison Guichou Stream. Led by Lu Zheng, they strengthened their vigilance and did not give the Wei people any opportunity to take advantage.
With the dangerous terrain of Guichoujian, whether it can be defended is not a matter of large numbers of people and few people. As long as the Wu army works hard and defends it to the death, even if there are only a few thousand people, Wei Jun will not be able to overcome it.
Possible things.
The remaining 25,000 people were led by Zhuge Ke himself, leaving Zan Tang Zi as the vanguard. They went straight to Wuqiangkou via a small road and set up an ambush there to ambush the Wei army's grain team.
Qin Yuan will be the guide on this journey, and he will lead the way.
Lu Ju was a little worried, and originally wanted to persuade Zhuge Ke again, but Zhuge Ke had already made up his mind and insisted on going his own way. The entire Wu army immediately took action, staying behind when it was time to stay, and going out to attack when it was time to go.
When Qin Yuan saw Wu Jun in action, he secretly slapped his thigh and it was done! Master Sima's plan went really smoothly. Zhuge Ke really took the bait. It seemed like he should find an opportunity to escape.
But even if you run away, you have to wait until Zhuge Ke sends troops. Otherwise, if Zhuge Ke discovers that he is missing, he may change his action plan and all his efforts will be wasted.
Just when Qin Yuan was secretly planning to escape, the messenger came to him and asked him to see Zhuge Ke immediately.
Qin Yuan thought that the matter had been exposed, and his expression changed drastically. However, he had no other choice but to follow the messenger and go to see Zhuge Ke honestly.
There were only five people in Qin Yuan's group. Even if Sima Shi said that the four guards were not ordinary soldiers but people with strong martial arts skills, but no matter how strong their martial arts skills were, could they defeat ten thousand people?
It is a blessing, not a curse, and it is a curse that cannot be avoided. Qin Yuan decisively gave up the idea of running away at this moment, but honestly came to Zhuge Ke and waited for his fate.
After Zhuge Ke saw Qin Yuan, he said happily: "General Qin, thank you for the information you provided. I decided to personally lead the army to Wuqiangkou, ambush the Wei army's grain team, and asked General Qin to lead the way."
Qin Yuan suddenly realized that it was not Zhuge Ke who discovered something, but Zhuge Ke wanted to take him together to Wuqiangkou.
Qin Yuan was feeling aggrieved and had no time to complain. The advice he offered ended up shooting himself in the foot.
Although Qin Yuan was unwilling to do so, he still remained calm in front of Zhuge Ke, not daring to show a trace of dissatisfaction and quickly bowed to accept the order.
Qin Yuan holds the blueprint in his hand, so it is natural for him to lead the way.
Zhuge Ke was preparing to set off overnight, and the estimated time of arrival at Wuqiangkou should be exactly at dawn.
When marching during this time, it is difficult for the Wei army to detect them, so it is relatively safe.
Moreover, according to the information revealed by Qin Yuan, the Wei army delivers grain and grass approximately twice a month. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait at least another half month.
And Zhuge Ke seemed unwilling to wait any longer. What's more, things are unpredictable. Who knows what will happen in half a month. If he misses this opportunity, he may regret it for the rest of his life.
