Jiangling, the commander of the Shu army.

Liu Bei sat on the main seat, and Zhuge Liang sat beside him. Below were a group of generals from Shu who came to Jingzhou to fight eastward. Everyone looked bad. It was obvious that they were quite frightened when they heard that Yuan Shang had brought the country's troops to come.

Liu Bei was obviously very concerned about Yuan Shang's large-scale military operations. He once imagined that Yuan Shang might take advantage of the opportunity to destroy the Eastern Wu, but he did not expect that Yuan Shang would take the lead and send troops to come when his side was in a stalemate with the Wu army and it was difficult to decide the outcome!

In this way, although it is not safe to send troops after the winner is decided, it is effective.

At least, as for the current situation, although Shu and Wu army temporarily stopped fighting, they still showed an opposing attitude. In this situation, there was no specific solution, and the three families had a clear barrier.

After a long silence in the commander's tent, Liu Bei glanced at everyone and then slowly spoke: "Yuan Shang raised his troops to conquer the country, and his intention was to unify the world, and his ambitions were great. What good ideas do you have for this?"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, all bowed their heads and said nothing, and said nothing.

But it is no wonder that Yuan Shang brought a huge army of millions of troops, advancing with water and land, and was in a vast momentum. Faced with such a rare situation, if ordinary people could come up with a solution by scratching their heads, it would be really a joke.

Seeing that everyone had no voices, Liu Bei subconsciously turned his head to Zhuge Liang's direction.

Zhuge Liang was swaying his feather fan and was pondering carefully. Seeing Liu Bei look at him, he immediately began to express his opinions.

"Lord, Yuan Shang came here with a huge force. He wanted to achieve his achievements in one battle, but because of this, he must be careful in his actions. So it is difficult to let him reveal his flaws all at once. Therefore, the most urgent task is to deal with the moves and break them in sequence!"

Liu Bei hurriedly said, "With the military advisor's opinion, how can we deal with the moves?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said, "Yuan Shang came here this time, and he had many powerful advisers such as Sima Yi, Tian Feng, Ju Su, Xun Chen, etc. These people, all of whom were top wise men in the world. When they arrived in Jingzhou, they would definitely have a clever plan to offer them."

Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "What a clever trick?"

Zhuge Liang was silent for a while before he said slowly: "As I expected, according to the cunning degree of Yuan Shang and his subordinates, Xichuankou must be taken! To cut off our food route, Xichuan will be difficult to replenish supplies for thousands of miles of Xichuankou. Once the water route of Xichuankou is cut off, then our army will inevitably be in danger. This matter must be investigated."

Liu Bei thought about it after hearing this and said, "Now, there is Huang Quan, Feng Xi and other generals leading the navy to garrison at the Xichuankou Road. According to the military advisor's wishes, should we add more troops to garrison?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Reinforcement is inevitable, but this person who leads the army must be very strategic, otherwise he will definitely not be the cunning opponent of Yuan Shang."

After saying that, Zhuge Liang turned his head and looked at the people. He slowly spoke, "I want to choose a capable person to lead the army westward and the governor of Xichuan Gushui Road. To prevent the Yuan army from cutting off my food route, this is an important task for the entire army to comfort their relationship. I wonder who wants to go?"

When Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he saw that among the people, one of them stood up, bowed to Liu Bei and Kong Ming, and said, "Ma Su is willing to go."

When Ma Su finished speaking, the generals in the tent couldn't help but look at each other, Zhuge Liang was a little surprised, and Liu Bei frowned slightly.

After a while, Zhuge Liang said while swaying his feather fan: "Since, guarding the Xichuankou waterway has a great relationship, which is related to the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our army. If you are negligent, all the soldiers of our army will be put to rest. Although you are well-versed in strategy, but the waterways are complicated and there are no cities, it is extremely difficult to defend, so I may have lost it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and expressed his agreement with Zhuge Liang's opinion.

Seeing this, Ma Su was anxious and hurriedly said, "Lord, military advisor, I have been familiar with military books since I was a child and knows the tactics of war. Although the waterways in Xichuan are not dangerous, how can I not defend them?"

Liu Bei said slowly, "Sincere, I know you are eager to make contributions and have the desire to share my worries. However, Yuan Shang came this time and everyone under his command was famous generals from Hebei and Central Plains. I am afraid you will not be able to fight him!"

Ma Su hurriedly knelt down and said, "Don't let the famous generals in the Central Plains of Hebei. Even if Yuan Shang goes there personally, I will not be afraid of it. If I cannot win, I pray to kill the whole family."

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up and he said, "Sincere, there is no joke in the army."

Ma Su said firmly: "I am willing to issue a military order!"

As for this, it is naturally unlikely that Liu Bei would want to stop him, otherwise it would have been a disheartening heart of the generals. Kong Ming immediately asked Ma Su to write a military order.

After delivery, Kong Ming said: "I will dispatch 50,000 elite troops to you, and then a general will help you."

After saying that, after looking around, Zhuge Liang called the general to Chong and said, "I have always known that you have been cautious all your life. Although you have failed against the enemy Lu Xun and others in the previous period, you have not fallen behind. Therefore, you are entrusted with this important task. You can be careful to help Ma Su station in Xichuankou, and do not make the bandits anxious. Discuss everything and do not go easily. If you have a plan, you should inform your lord and me quickly. If you are not in danger, it will be the first achievement of this Eastern Expedition. Be careful! Be careful!"

Ma Su took the military order and ordered the troops happily. Liu Bei immediately announced the ban and waited for everyone to go away. Liu Bei said with some concern: "Military advisor, you have just said everything to that point. Bei is embarrassed to say something, but when you think about it carefully, it is a bit too negligent. With Ma Su's ability, I am afraid that I may not be able to defend the Sichuan Road."

Zhuge Liang heard this and said, "Lord, although Ma Su is young, he is very strategic and well-read in military books. He is actually a talented man and should be entrusted with important responsibilities."

Liu Bei frowned and said, "Otherwise, I always have some exaggeration when I look at this person. I am afraid that it will not be of great use."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said, "Lord, let's filter it."

But Ma Su led his troops and headed straight to the entrance of Xichuan, and after reaching the riverside water camp, he immediately met Huang Quan, Feng Xi and others who had been leading the Shu army to guard the Shu army.

After the ceremony of each other was over, Ma Su and Zhuo immediately led him to visit the water camp. After seeing the boat, he couldn't help but feel blessed and a brilliant plan came to his mind.

He immediately found a few people and said, "I have been familiar with military books since I was a child and knows the strategies. I am determined to win this time when I guard Xichuankou! Now the Northern Army is not good at water battles, but the benefits are large, and I cannot defeat them without using strange strategies. After watching the water camp, I thought hard and could definitely defeat Yuan's army!"

Everyone hurriedly asked about Ma Su's plan.

Ma Su smiled and said, "In the river, tides are rising and falling, the wind and waves are endless, and there are many noisy waterways, which are not easy to defend. If the Yuan army sneaks in, it will not be worth the loss. Today, if we can match our army's large and small boats, or thirty rows, we will chain them with iron rings at the beginning and the top is laid wide. Don't say that people can cross them, and horses can also leave, and you can block Yuan army horizontally, why are you afraid of this?"

Everyone looked at me, but Xiang Chongyan said, "What does join the army mean to arrange a chain of battle formations?"

Ma Su nodded: "That's right."

On the other side, Huang Quan hesitated for a while, and just said: "Entering the army, the method of chain warships sounds good, but no one has tried it after all, and it is difficult to guess the pros and cons. Isn't it a bit too anxious to come up with this strategy?"

Ma Su shook his head and said, "If you have to make trouble, you will suffer from chaos. If you have good strategies but dare not use them, you are really willing to make plans without decisions. If you really don't do it, my plan will definitely work. Don't doubt it, just follow the order!"

Ma Su built a series of warships. On the other side, Sima Yi led three generals, Zhang Liao, Li Dian and Le Jin, to the river and led the navy to head straight to the entrance of the Xichuankou of Shu Road.

As we were about to arrive at Xichuankou, a surveyor came to report that the Shu army had sent a large group of Yuan troops to block all the waterways in Xichuankou.

After learning the news, Sima Yi was shocked and hurriedly consulted with Zhang Liao and others.

Sima Yi sighed and said with emotion: "Zhuge Liang, it turns out that we have made two tricks. We have just set up a plan to cut off the food supply road in Shu. He had expected that he would send people to stop it so soon. It is my strong enemy!"

Below Sima Yi, Zhang Liao smiled slightly and said, "The strong enemy? Isn't it all right? I think Zhuge Liang is much more powerful than you. I think you are not seen by others at all."

Sima Yi was furious when he heard this and said, "What nonsense! Who is Sima Yi? The first adviser under the Yuan family! Looking at the world, there are only a few people who can be regarded as my strong enemy! If I can be regarded as my strong enemy, his ancestor Zhuge Liang burned the incense for eight lifetimes! He dared to look down on me, I'll bah!"

Li Dian shook his head and said, "It's not that Zhuge Liang looks down on you now, but that the other party is really trying to get ahead of us and send someone to occupy Xichuankou first. If we want to seize the food route, is there a great chance of winning?"

Sima Yi shook his head: "The other party was prepared for a long time, so how could it be that easy? Besides, the soldiers under our command are not very good at water wars. Those who are good at water wars were all taken to Dongwu by Gan Ning. The strong rival is purely seeking death."

Le Jin thought for a while and said, "We divide our troops into three groups and fight each other in a horn. How about it?"

Sima Yi curled his lips and said, "The horn is a force? Do you think it is a land battle? How can water wars be called horns or horns? Once the ships disperse, they will be broken by each one, and they will not be able to use it to the point!"

Zhang Liao said: "Then what happened to us when we sent a powerful force to steal it?"

Sima Yi was even more disdainful: "Stealing? What do you do after stealing? Waiting behind the enemy to die? We are here to cut off the food route of the Shu army, not to run to other people's food routes and let others cut off. If you run to him, do you eat and drink? If you can't die! Have you read the art of war?"

Li Dian was furious when he heard this.

"This is not possible, that is not possible. Then let's just surrender and be a younger brother to Zhuge Liang!"

Sima Yi looked at Li Dian seriously and said, "Do you really treat yourself as a hot commodity? I will surrender. You three are second-hand goods that surrendered from others. Zhuge Liang is not a rag, so why do you have to do with these ragged shoes?"
