Chapter 6 The Sixth White Rabbit Dragon Vein

Mr. Pang De had already discussed Liu Bei's character with Kong Ming a few years ago. He knew that Mr. Pang De had ordered a dragon vein for Liu Shikan in the early years to bury his father and ancestor. See.At this time, I took a closer look at Liu Bei, and saw that he was seven feet and five inches long, his ears were hanging on his shoulders, his hands were above his knees, his eyes were on his ears, his face was like a crown of jade, and his lips were like rouge. Kongming thought to himself: According to the judgment of the master, Liu Bei is the son of the white rabbit dragon veins, his appearance is more precious than his ears, and now his ears are above his shoulders, it is true; he also has the nature of a white rabbit, although his courage is slightly weak, he is kind Listen to people's words, have a humble heart, and are extremely popular, so you can firmly occupy the trend of harmony.

Kongming looked at Guan Gong again, and saw that he was nine feet long, his beard was two feet long, his face was like a deep red jujube, his lips were the color of red pearls, his eyes were like a phoenix, his eyebrows were like lying silkworms, and his appearance was majestic. grid. Kongming thought to himself: This is the sign of loyalty and righteousness, and it will definitely help the loyal people to achieve great things. It is a pity that he values ​​martial arts and despises literary skills, and is proud of his courage. He will rarely die well in the future. Even beheaded. Kong Ming took a closer look at Zhang Fei, and saw that he was eight feet long, with a leopard head with ring eyes, a swallow jaw and a tiger beard, like a lion like a tiger, with the momentum of a galloping horse.

Kong Ming couldn't help but sighed a little in his heart, and thought to himself: Zhang Fei is indeed a very strong-willed person, like a lion like a tiger. Although he respects the virtuous and capable, he must be arrogant and inferior, which is the root cause of his disaster. Kong Ming carefully examined Liu, Guan, and Zhang. He already had a judgment in his mind, and he knew that all three of them were successful people, but unfortunately they didn't have the appearance of good fortune and longevity. Feeling sorry in his heart, he couldn't help but cast another glance at his righteous brother Zhao Zilong, but he saw that Zhao Zilong's eyes were like bright stars, shining with light, his mouth was like a heavy gate, he was silent and smiling, he moved like a rabbit, and he was as quiet as a virgin.

Kong Ming couldn't help but smiled happily, and said to himself: Zilong has both good fortune and longevity in his life, and he has also been blessed by the five phoenix Chaoyang dragon veins, and everything is always unfavorable.In Liu Bei's army, Zilong is the only general who is wise, brave, righteous and blessed.But with this one general, it can be worth millions of soldiers!The relationship between Kong Ming and Zhao Zilong is unusual, and everyone in Liu Bei's army is aware of this; but Kong Ming treats Zhao Zilong equally, sometimes even severely, which makes everyone in the army admire.

Then, Kong Ming turned to the main topic, discussing the current general trend of military aircraft and the method of dispatching troops and generals. Zhang Fei has always been dissatisfied with Kong Ming. Although Kong Ming has trained troops well after arriving in Xinye, he still despises arrogance in his heart before actual combat. At this time, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Mr. The method of conquest? As soon as Kongming heard it, he knew what Zhang Fei was thinking. He smiled slightly and said: "This is the situation of the times, so I have to learn. If Yide has something to say, you can speak it out. I don't blame the general."

Zhang Fei was not polite, and immediately said loudly: Mr. Fei Wen has not been out of Longzhong for ten years, how can he know the current secrets and general situation, the method of dispatching troops and fighting? Kong Ming thought to himself: Why not take this opportunity to enlighten Guan, Zhang, Zhao and other generals, so that they will be better at judging the situation and defeating the enemy in the future?So he happily analyzed and said: The method of dispatching troops and generals and fighting, there are three things to be judged, one is the sky, the other is the earth, and the third is the people.The sky refers to the general trend of heaven and destiny, such as the sun and the moon are clear and bright, the five stars are in harmony, and the comet does not appear, then the weather will be smooth and rainy, which is conducive to the use of troops; Or the mountains are severe and the torrents are thousands of miles away; people, that is, judging and distinguishing people and making laws, must ask the master to be wise and wise. He is invincible wherever he goes, and he will conquer whatever he hits.

Zhang Fei heard half-blindness, he was about to speak again, but Zhao Zilong suddenly interjected: "Sir, what do you think is the way to be a good general?"Because in the army, Zhao Zilong called Zhuge Liang Mr. Zhuge Liang with the ceremony of a military adviser, instead of calling him his righteous brother in private. Seeing Zhao Zilong's question, Kong Ming was delighted, but his expression remained unchanged, and he still said solemnly: "A good general will show his troops to advance and retreat. Chen Zhi respects himself with virtue and righteousness, and guides him to know what is right and what is wrong. Let him know the movement with rewards and punishments." Keep promises.Because of the timing of the sky, the situation of the place, and the advantage of the people, this is the way of a good general. Therefore, if you can fight, you must win, attack must conquer, defend must protect, and the enemy must capture. If evil is not distinguished, rewards and punishments are not clear, if words are not kept, the virtuous will retreat, and flattery will advance and use, and the battle will be defeated.Zilong must be cautious.

Zhao Zilong is well aware of Kong Ming's ability, he thought for a moment, and said solemnly: "Yes, Zilong understands."He answered one sentence and said no more. At this time, Guan Gong couldn't help interjecting: "Mr. Wen has a theory that the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people. Guan wants to hear the details." When Kong Ming heard this, he smiled and said, "This is the current trend of progress, that is, the relationship between heaven, earth and man. Those who can fully understand it can achieve great things, so we must pay attention to it."For example: the way of the army is to know people. If people are harmonious, the army will be strong, and every battle will be conquered; , Even the war will be defeated, so why talk about achieving great success and bringing peace to the world?That's why the weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people.

Upon hearing this, Guan Gong nodded slightly and stopped talking. Seeing this, Zhang Fei thought to himself: This Kong Ming speaks eloquently, although he speaks clearly and logically, but what about his actual combat skills?I don't know if he is a white-faced scholar who talks on paper! At this moment, the spies who went north for reconnaissance rushed in and reported to Kong Ming: Cao Cao personally commanded an army of 600,000 and was training the navy at Xuanwu Lake in Yecheng. His intention was unknown. Kong Ming nodded slightly, and said: I know, I can go to investigate again.The spies gave the order and rushed away.

While Kong Ming was meditating, another spies from the frontier positions in Xinye reported back: His subordinates found out that Cao Cao's personal general Xia Houdun, with a command of 100,000 troops, was traveling day and night to Xinye, and now he was approaching Fancheng!Ask the military division to decide. Kong Ming nodded slightly again, and the spies continued to closely monitor Cao Cao's movements. After the spies left, Liu Bei saw that Cao's army was pressing down on the border, and Kong Ming was still so calm, so he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Sir, quickly make a good plan to break Cao's army to attack!"

Kong Ming chanted, "This is just a prelude to the great war, so don't be anxious." Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Why is the master making such a judgment?" Kong Mingdao: Cao Jun's move is not only aimed at Xinye, nor is it limited to Jingzhou, but is aimed directly at Sun Quan in Jiangdong, hoping to pacify the world with one move. Liu Bei wondered: "But Cao Cao commanded the army and was still staying at Xuanwu Lake in Yecheng for drills. Why did you judge that he intended to enter Jingzhou and Jiangdong? If Xiahou Dun led the troops alone, he would not be able to conquer Jingzhou, let alone conquer it." Take Jiangdong Sun Quan? Kong Ming smiled and said: "The army under Xiahou Dun's command is indeed not enough to conquer Jingzhou. Cao Cao's intention is to use Xiahou Dun as the vanguard to test the reality of Jingzhou."If things go well, Cao Jun will take advantage of the emptiness and enter, first occupy Jingzhou, and then map Jiangdong. The main force of Cao Cao's Yecheng army aims to cross the Yangtze River to take Jiangdong Sun Wuye. Liu Bei nodded, expressing his agreement with Kong Ming's opinion, but hurriedly said: If so, how will I respond? Kong Ming thought for a while, and said decisively: Liu Biao and Liu Cong in Jingzhou are cowardly people, and they will not dare to fight against Cao Jun. If Xiahou Dun easily takes Jingzhou, Cao Cao's main force will follow, and Sun Quan in Jiangdong will be in danger.With the loss of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, the lord lost his support and was in a very dangerous situation.Therefore, it is imperative to attack Xiahou Dun's army head-on. Although it may not destroy all of them, it will dampen their spirit and make Cao Cao scruples. Liu Bei was worried, and said: "But Xiahou Dun is Cao Cao's confidant general. Since he went to war, he has been invincible; and our army, including the militia, only has more than 10,000 people. How can we fight against Xiahou Dun's 100,000 Cao army?" Kong Ming calmly smiled and said: "Xiahou Dun's bravery is nothing more than nothing to worry about. Although his army is said to be 100,000, it is difficult to deploy and slow to move. Therefore, the vanguard troops that arrived in Xinye, Jingzhou must have only half of them, that is, less than 50,000." The strength of the army is not difficult to defeat. Kong Ming paused, looked at Guan Gong and Zhang Fei below, and suddenly said solemnly: "I must follow orders when I use soldiers. I am afraid that some soldiers will disobey them. Please borrow the master's sword seal." When Liu Bei heard this, without hesitation, he presented the sword seal to Kong Ming with both hands. Kong Ming didn't hesitate any more at this time, with a solemn expression, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the order flag: General Guan listens to the order. Guan Gong was inconvenient to disobey, so he stood up, but stood silently. Kongming ignored it, and said solemnly: "I command you to lead three thousand troops to ambush at Xianrendu, 20 miles west of Xinye City. But when Cao Jun passes by, just let him enter Xinye Avenue, and don't act rashly; wait until Cao Jun retreats before hiding and killing him. Can win all. When Guan Yu heard this, he hesitated in his heart, and thought to himself: The way to use troops is to keep the enemy at the door. How can there be any reason to let them drive straight forward?But Kongming had Liu Bei's sword in his hand, and because of Liu Bei's face, he couldn't defend himself, so he had to accept the order and stand aside. Guan Gong looked hesitant, but Kong Ming just ignored him.He pulled out the order flag again and said, "General Zhao listens to the order." When Zhao Zilong heard this, he got up suddenly and said solemnly: "Zhao Zilong listens to the order." Kongming said: "Let you lead five thousand troops to attack from time to time wherever Cao's army passes by, but don't love to fight, just retreat as a guerrilla." Zhao Zilong also stepped forward to receive the command flag, and stood with Guan Gong.Kongming also ordered Liu Feng, Zhou Cang and other generals to lead the 3,000 militiamen in Xinye City to be on strict guard in Xinye City and to respond to the front at any time. At this moment, Zhang Fei saw Kong Ming without even looking at him, and regarded him as nothing. He couldn't help being furious, and couldn't help but sternly said: "Military teacher!"Why put me aside and not entrust me with a heavy responsibility?Could it be that I, Zhang Yide, am afraid of death? Kongming smiled and said: Yide must follow my plan before he can take on the important task. As long as Zhang Fei can fight at this time, he agreed to everything, and immediately said: "Zhang Fei just obey the order of the army division." Kongming smiled, and said solemnly: Cao Jun crossed to Xinye via the immortals. There are avenues and paths.Yide can lay an ambush on the small road and set off fireworks. Be sure to make the beacon smoke visible five miles away. When Zhang Fei heard this, he couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly said: "I am lying in an ambush on the small road, but the beacon fire is lit. Didn't I tell Cao Jun clearly?"Xiahou Dun is not a three-year-old child, so how could he enter if he knew there was an ambush?I'm afraid the military division made a big mistake in this plan. At this time, Guan Gong couldn't help interjecting: "Zhang Fei is very worried. Xiahou Dun, the leader of Cao's army, has been invincible since he went out to battle. He is highly valued by Cao Cao. He is a general with both wisdom and courage."If he saw beacon smoke rising from the small road, he would know that there were soldiers in ambush, so how could he be in danger?There is a way in the art of war, and if you avoid the truth, you will be false. How could Xiahou Dun not know?And if Cao's army does not take the small road, but drives straight on the main road, there will only be 3,000 militiamen in Xinye, how to resist it will be critical, and the military commanders should think twice. At this time, even Liu Bei was beside him, showing hesitation. Kong Ming just ignored it, and said calmly: "General Guan, don't hesitate, just follow my plan!"If Yide has doubts, I will issue a military order with you. If Cao Jun does not enter the path, I am willing to be punished; Zhang Fei was so excited that he screamed, and at that moment he and Kong Ming issued a military order under the testimony of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei took the order flag, and rushed out together with Guan Gong, Zhao Zilong, Liu Feng, Zhou Cang and other generals. Walking out of the commander's tent, Zhang Fei still said angrily: If Kong Ming's prediction is wrong, I will investigate the crime. Guan Gong pondered and said: "Third brother, don't be reckless. You have issued a military order. If you don't follow the order, it will hurt your brother's face." It was also the first time for Zhao Zilong to witness Kong Ming's use of troops. Although he admired Kong Ming, his brother-in-law, if the army went wrong, the entire army would be wiped out. It can be turned around, and everything can only be done according to orders.Zhao Zilong said to Zhang Fei: "I think the military division has made such an arrangement, and there must be a reason for it. I will follow the plan." Zhang Fei was very helpless, and led the troops away bitterly. Zhang Fei led 3,000 soldiers and horses, ambushed in the forest on a small road twenty miles west of Xinye City, and lit up fireworks according to the order, and rushed straight into the air, which could be seen from a distance. On the other hand, Xiahoudun's 100,000 troops marched all the way to Xinye, Jingzhou. Due to the obstacles and slow movements along the way, only 50,000 troops arrived at the front of Xinye. The rest of the army advanced slowly behind, and the general of the rear army was Cao Hong.Cao Cao sent these two generals to attack Xinye. Obviously, he did have the intention of taking Jingzhou first and then conquering Jiangdong. In order to compete with Cao Hong in the rear army, Xiahou Dun drove straight all the way without any obstruction. Only 30 miles away from Xinye, Xiahou Dun was charged and killed by a small army led by Zhao Zilong for a while, but retreated quickly.Xiahou Dun judged that Liu Bei's army was weak and could only deal with it with guerrilla tactics. He couldn't help but laughed to his lieutenant general: Liu Bei is incompetent, and the tricks of the white-faced scholar Zhuge Liang are nothing more than that, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Xiahou Dun suddenly became arrogant, and ordered the army to advance towards Xinye at full speed without worrying about the rear defense.He himself even took the lead, personally leading an army of 30,000 troops as a forward, rushing towards Xinye at lightning speed. His purpose was to capture Xinye first, capture Liu Bei alive, and capture Zhuge Liang alive, so as to grab the first victory in capturing Jingzhou. Xiahou Dun's 50,000 forwards crossed Xianrendu, a fortress on the outskirts of Xinye, without hindrance. Xinye was only twenty miles away. Xiahoudun's pride grew even hotter. He laughed and said to the lieutenant: "Xianrendu is outside Xinye City." The only fortress, such a dangerous place, Liu Bei did not send a single soldier to defend it, obviously he had no soldiers to use. At this moment, the spies in front rushed over and reported to Xiahoudun: There are two roads in Xinye, one is the road farther away from Xinye, and the other is a narrow road near the rugged mountain. The road is calm and there is no ambush. However, the small road was full of smoke and smoke, and it seemed that soldiers and horses were ambushing. When Xiahou Dun heard this, he immediately stepped forward and looked up. He saw that there were two roads in the direction of Xinye. Take off. When Xiahoudun saw it, he pondered for a moment, then laughed proudly: "This is a strategy for weak soldiers who are suspicious of soldiers. The road is calm and calm, so it is easy for our army to advance, so there must be an ambush. Although I am not afraid, I was delayed by Cao Hong. The rear army seizes the first place, and I will never do it. Although the small road is full of beacon fire, this is a tactic to confuse our army. There will be no soldiers or soldiers in ambush. Hey, I know the art of war. But he did it in the opposite way, avoiding the emptiness and being realistic, and attacking Liu Bei by surprise. So Xiahou Dun ordered decisively that the army march towards the small road and go straight to Xinye without delay.Soon, Xiahoudun's 30,000 vanguards headed north into the side road, and headed straight for Xinye in the south. In the forest by the mountain path, Zhang Fei led 3,000 soldiers and horses to ambush, and the soldiers were adding fuel and lighting the fire as ordered. Around the forest, beacon smoke was everywhere, which could be seen from far and near. Zhang Fei's side general saw that there was no movement for a long time, so he couldn't help saying to Zhang Fei: "The general was ordered by the military division to lay an ambush here, but fireworks were lit. Cao Jun knew that there was an ambush inside. How could he take this dangerous path?"If Cao Jun runs straight to the road and our army does not have any troops to guard against it, Xinye will be in danger. Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and said, "This is all the fault of Kong Ming, a poor-faced scholar. I will settle the score with him." Zhang Fei hadn't finished speaking when spies flew to the north of the path to report: "General, Xiahou Dun personally commanded 30,000 forwards. He has entered the path and is galloping towards this place. General, get ready." When Zhang Fei heard this, he couldn't help but startled, his heart skipped a beat, he was both surprised and happy, and he didn't have time to express anything, so he immediately sent an order: All soldiers of the army, draw bows and arrows, and prepare to kill the enemy. Xiahoudun led 30,000 forwards and drove straight to the small road, and there was no obstacle. Xiahou Dun couldn't help laughing wildly triumphantly: How about it?How can Zhuge Liang block my way with such a clumsy strategy of suspicious soldiers? Xiahou Dun's lieutenant quickly echoed, saying: General Xiahou predicts the enemy like a god, and he will definitely take Xinye and conquer Jingzhou in one fell swoop, and make extraordinary achievements. Xiahou Dun laughed loudly, but just as he finished laughing, there was a sudden thunderous shout from the place in front of where the beacon smoke was the most intense: Zhang Yide, the Yan man, has been waiting here for a long time. This thunderous sound was heart-shattering. Some of Cao's troops were timid and fell off their horses, and some infantry fell on the ground, as if seeing a god descending from the world, and dared not look up. Xiahou Dun also knew Zhang Fei's bravery. He was terrified. One general led three thousand soldiers and horses, and galloped out. Arrows rained down. Cao Jun fell down one after another. The Eight Snake Spears rushed forward, like a strong wind sweeping leaves, Cao Jun was invincible. Xiahoudun's lieutenant, confident of his bravery, did not wait for Xiahoudun's order, and flew out on the horse, with a sword in his hand, to meet the Zhangba Snake Spear, but he only heard a sound, and the handle of the lieutenant's sword was broken instantly. Two pieces, the Zhangba Snake Spear in the hand of the black iron tower had not yet exhausted its momentum, and with a thrust forward, it pierced the heart of Xiahou Dun's lieutenant general, and fell off the horse. When Xiahou Dun saw it, he couldn't help being horrified, and said to himself: This man is brave, no less than Lu Bu back then!He was already timid, but at this moment he had more soldiers than Zhang Fei, so as long as he rushed out, he could leave Zhang Fei behind, so he had no choice but to slap his horse forward and face Zhang Fei. Xiahou Dun was one of Cao Cao's powerful generals. He could have fought Zhang Fei for 20 to 30 rounds, but he was timid at this time. The opponent's use of troops was far beyond his expectations. Zhang Fei's arms were sore and numb after less than five rounds of fighting, and he dared not fight any more. He pulled his horse and fled to the north of the path. Zhang Feizhang straightened out the Eight Snake Spears, rushed forward, and led 3,000 soldiers and horses, crashing towards the ebbing Cao Jun like a huge wave, causing Cao Jun to cry ghostly, throwing away their helmets and armor, and fled desperately. The 30,000 forwards led by Xiahou Dun fled to the original road, and when they retreated to Xianrendu, the fortress of Xinye, there were less than 20,000 troops left. At this moment, the Immortal crossed the critical point, and killed another group of troops. The leader was a general, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Saber, with long beards fluttering, like a god descending suddenly.Under a round of assault, Xiahou Dun's 20,000 troops were wiped out by Guan Gong again. Xiahou Dun was so frightened that he led 8,000 remnant soldiers and rushed out of Xianrendu desperately.Unexpectedly, another group of troops came out first, and it was Zhao Zilong, the general who retreated from the guerrilla attack at the beginning. At the place where Zhao Zilong raised his silver spear, Xiahou Dun's own soldiers and generals fell off their horses one after another. and flee.Zhao Zilong chased for a while, then stopped abruptly, and laughed loudly to Xiahou Dun in front of him, saying, "I am ordered by the military commander to let you go back and send a message to Cao Cao. If he dares to attack Jingzhou and Jiangdong, he will teach him to be like you." Flee in embarrassment. When Xiahoudun escaped from birth, only a thousand soldiers remained of the 30,000 forward army he led. Cao Hong of the rear army was also very frightened when he heard the news. At this time, in Xinye City, Kong Ming was already in the camp of the Chinese Army, and ordered a celebration banquet to be prepared to comfort the soldiers who returned from victory. But Liu Bei felt uneasy. After all, it was the first time he had experienced Zhuge Liang's actual combat talent, so he was not sure about his success or failure. He couldn't help but said to Kong Ming: "Third brother Yide, his nature is like a fire, and he may offend him later." but please forgive me sir. Kong Ming smiled calmly: Don't worry, my lord, I, Bao Yide, will drink to my heart's content. Before Kong Ming finished speaking, Guan Gong and Zhao Zilong had already marched side by side. They first announced the good news to Liu Bei, and then immediately bowed to Kong Ming: "Mr. The two of them hadn't finished speaking, another general shouted in: Mr. had a clever plan and taught Cao Jun how to cry the gods, and Zhang Yide offered the head and bowed to him willingly. The general who yelled and rushed forward was Zhang Fei, who was like a fire. At this time, he was naked from the upper body, bound his hands, and strode forward with thorns on his back.When he saw Kong Ming, he didn't say a word, so he knelt down and bowed to the ground, and said loudly: "Mr. Military Advisor, please punish him severely. If you want to beheaded or killed, Zhang Fei is willing." As soon as Liu Bei saw it, he understood everything. He was thinking about how to intercede with Kong Ming on Zhang Fei's behalf.Kong Ming smiled and said, "What's wrong with Yide?"Could it be that Cao Jun didn't take the path? When Zhang Fei heard this, he prostrated himself on the ground and said sincerely: Zhang Fei has never known the ability of Mr. Zhang Fei, who can shock the world and weep ghosts and gods. No one can compare, Zhang Fei is reckless, he has repeatedly collided with his husband in the past, and committed disrespect and disrespect, he left him to deal with him and punish him. Kong Ming smiled happily at this time, and suddenly stretched out his hand to gently support Zhang Fei, but Zhang Fei felt a very forceful force, lifted his heavy body up, and couldn't do it anymore.Zhang Fei couldn't help being astonished, and thought to himself: It turns out that the real Kong Ming doesn't show his face, but he possesses such shocking miraculous skills, both civil and martial arts, but he hides his secrets and is as modest as he is. He is a martial artist and he is absolutely inferior. Kongming smiled and said: "Yide and I have a military order, and we have to be punished according to the law, but you have merit in killing the enemy, and you can defeat a hundred with one, so you will not be rewarded or punished. Are you convinced?" Zhang Fei bowed his head and sighed, "Mr. is fair and strict in dealing with affairs. How could Fei refuse to accept it?"But for the crime of disrespect, if Mr. Fei does not punish him, Fei will feel ashamed and uneasy. Kong Ming said with emotion: "Yi De knew his mistakes and corrected them bravely. He followed the example of the ancients and pleaded guilty. He did not lose the style of a general. It is gratifying and commendable. I feel the lord's love for three times. He went out to help the world and save the people from the fire and water. , After death, how can I hold on to some personal grievances? When Kongming said that, he pulled out the thorns on Zhang Fei's back with his own hands, folded them in two, and threw them on the ground. Xiahou Dun's 30,000-strong army, the meritorious service in this battle is none other than you, a real tiger general. Zhang Fei couldn't help being moved at this time, with tears in his tiger's eyes, he held Kong Ming's hands tightly, and said with emotion: "Mr. no excuses. Kong Ming smiled happily, he and Zhang Fei and Guan Gong no longer had any grievances in their hearts, and Guan Gong and Zhang Fei sincerely worshiped Kong Ming from then on, and they dared not refuse to obey Kong Ming's order. During the banquet, Kong Ming said: "Although Xiahou Dun was defeated today, I have a short time to maneuver, but I expect Cao Cao will lead the army south in person soon, so we must make early preparations." Liu Bei said: "Sir, what plan will you use to retreat from the enemy?" Kong Ming pondered and said: If Cao Cao personally led the army to the south, the small county of Xinye has limited strength and cannot defend for a long time.Now that Liu Biao is critically ill in Jingzhou, he can take this opportunity to occupy Jingzhou and make it a strong base, so that he can resist Cao Cao's coming here. Liu Bei said: "Sir, can't you fight like this again and defeat Cao's army with tactics?" Kong Ming said: "There is no danger to defend the land of Xinye. Today's victory over Xiahou Dun is just a fluke victory by taking advantage of his arrogant soldier psychology and countering suspicious soldiers."And the plan cannot be separated, Cao Cao is no better than Xiahou Dun, and he has been wary for a long time. In this land of Pingchuan, if he resists with more than ten thousand troops, even if the gods come to the world, it will be difficult to win.Therefore, the only current plan is to take Jingzhou first, and then connect with Jiangdong Sun Quan in the south, so as to deal with Cao Cao to the end and find an opportunity to break it. Liu Bei said: "Although what you said is true, but Liu Biao is kind to me, how can I seek his Jingzhou?"It is appropriate to make plans after his death. Kong Ming said: "The situation is urgent, I'm afraid we can't wait." Liu Bei still refused, saying: "Once Liu Biao is still alive, I will definitely not do such ungrateful and ungrateful things. Otherwise, what face does Liu Bei have to face the world?" Kong Ming had no choice but to sigh slightly and said: If that's the case, let's make plans later.
