Bai Xiaowen led his troops to lie in ambush for an entire night. When it was almost dawn, there was still no sign of reinforcements from Jingzhou.
"Zhuge Liang probably won't come."
Bai Xiaowen sat under the Yellow Parasol and estimated the time before voicing his judgment.
"Do you want to wait a little longer? Maybe Zhuge Liang's marching speed is slower than your calculation … I'm not saying that your calculation isn't accurate. "Li Shuyi said with a smile," After all, the battlefield is constantly changing. Without a strict mathematical model, you can't borrow enough parameters. "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said,
"I calculated based on Zhuge Liang's speed of seizing Ba County and the subsequent 50 passes. For someone like Zhuge Liang who likes to fiddle with calculations, he would definitely find the best point of coincidence between the soldiers' stamina, morale, and marching speed.
"After all, from Zhuge Liang's point of view, Liu Bei's escape route was cut off and he was in danger of being defeated at any time. He definitely wouldn't waste any time on the road. He would only rush to the battlefield as soon as possible while maintaining the soldiers' combat strength and guarding against sneak attacks.
"I also have the geographical map of the mountains and rivers, so I can see the approximate route Zhuge Liang's Jingzhou army would take to reach Luocheng. The terrain during this period is also within my calculations.
"In this way, the arrival time of Jingzhou's reinforcements can be completely predicted. Now, Jingzhou's reinforcements are four hours later than my calculation. There must be a deviation in the strategic prediction. "
Bai Xiaowen's long speech was clear and clear. Li Shuyi and Cecilia both nodded in agreement.
Cecilia said, "If Zhuge Liang didn't come to save Luocheng, where would he appear?"
Bai Xiaowen said, "I previously speculated that Zhuge Liang would rush to save Luocheng as soon as possible because Zhuge Liang was disturbed by Zhang Fei and had no choice but to make this decision. Since this speculation isn't valid, then we have to consider another possibility.
"Zhuge Liang must have used some method to persuade Zhang Fei to act according to his strategy. This is also very possible because Zhang Fei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms had a rough but meticulous personality. He was also very respectful towards famous people with true abilities.
"If I were Zhuge Liang, after entering the Yi Province battlefield, the best strategic goal would not be to rescue Liu Bei from Luocheng, but to go north and attack Fushui Pass and Jiameng Pass. These two passes are very important to Liu Bei. However, to our army, they are even more important than these two passes! "
Cecilia said, "If we lose these two checkpoints, our communication with Hanzhong will be cut off. We will be like Liu Bei now, a lone army."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and praised, "That's right. That's why I left Han Xu at Jiameng Pass just in case. "
"Wait, can Old Han defend against Zhuge Liang? Do you have any misunderstanding about Old Han or Zhuge Liang? "Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and unfurled the Raven Messenger Scroll. While filling it with spirit energy points, he smiled and said, "No, the order I gave Old Han was not to guard the pass, but to destroy it."
"Destroy it?!" Li Shuyi's eyes widened. "Wait, should we think about it more? After all, we still don't know Zhuge Liang's goal …"
"Actually, there's another way to know Zhuge Liang's army's movements in advance." Bai Xiaowen smiled and took out the mountain river geographical map.
The S-grade Gold Item shone quietly.
"You want to search for Zhuge Liang? No, you haven't seen him before, "Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "No, I want to search for Zhang Fei."
Bai Xiaowen, on the other hand, had seen Zhang Fei before. It was during the previous exploration of the three kingdoms.
Zhuge Liang couldn't have brought many soldiers from Jingzhou, because Liu Bei had already taken away a large number of Jingzhou's soldiers.
Under such circumstances, the cautious Zhuge Liang was unlikely to divide his army. If he let Zhang Fei take away another army, he wouldn't have any generals under his command.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei were basically together.
Bai Xiaowen spent 1,000 spirit energy points and filled it with spirit energy to simulate Zhang Fei's image.
Soon, a big red dot appeared on the mountain river geographical map.
"Zhixian."
Bai Xiaowen called out the name of the place. "Zhang Fei is about one day away from Jiameng Pass and Fushui Pass. The verification is correct. You can activate it now. "
The raven messenger flapped its wings and turned into a black stream of light, disappearing into the sky.
"What should we do now? Should we fight Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei? "Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "No, we have to defeat Liu Bei first!"
…
West of Luocheng, a large area of mountains and farmlands were burned.
The villagers who lived in the outskirts of Luocheng were forcibly driven away by the Yuan Army and moved to the west bank of Fushui.
Liu Zhang's forces on the west bank of Fushui were puzzled when they saw this.
However, there were still people who understood.
Fa Zheng met Liu Zhang and said, "I'm here to congratulate you, my lord."
Liu Zhang frowned. "War and disaster. With so many refugees being driven across the river, I'm already heartbroken. Where did the joy come from? "
Fa Zheng didn't care whether Liu Zhang was faking it or not. He said seriously, "My lord, do you know the Duke Of Yan's intentions?"
Liu Zhang shook his head.
Fa Zheng said, "The Duke Of Yan burned the valley and drove the people of Zitong to move to the west of Fushui. In this way, Liu Bei's army will have no supplies, no grain, and no grain to use. It will be difficult for them to last long.
Our army only needs to be separated by Fushui and avoid battle. Liu Bei's army will be gone in less than a hundred days. At that time, my lord only needs to order a general to cross the river and assist the Duke Of Yan in a pincer attack. Liu Bei will definitely be captured. "
Liu Zhang was shocked. "I've only heard of resisting the enemy's invasion to protect the people. I've never heard of driving the people to leave their homes to resist the enemy. This kind of plan is too vicious. I can't do it. "
Fa Zheng shook his head slightly and said, "However, the Duke Of Yan has already made the decision for my lord and has taken the blame. My lord only needs to accept the refugees and dig a ditch to avoid battle. This way, you can cooperate with the Duke Of Yan and make Liu Bei worry about the city. Why not? "
Liu Zhang could only nod. "That's the only way."
…
Fushui Pass, Jiameng Pass.
The head of the Jingzhou army stood in front of the ruins of the two passes.
There were three people in the lead.
The most eye-catching one was eight feet tall. His face was like jade. He wore a silk headband and a crane cloak. He held a feather fan and looked like a celestial being. It was Zhuge Liang.
Nearby stood a woman in black. Her hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. She didn't wear any makeup. Her face was covered with a black veil, only revealing her eyes. This was Zhuge Liang's wife, female general Huang Yueying.
A little further away, there was another fierce general. He was eight feet tall, had a leopard head, round eyes, and a beard, but his skin was slightly darker. It was Zhang Fei.
"The damn Yuan army, they don't even dare to fight a battle. They just burned the passes and left. What kind of plan is that? They let me get two passes for nothing! "Zhang Fei scolded.
Zhuge Liang sighed. "Yide, this is not a good thing."
