Chapter 208 Zhuge Divine Calculation

When the fire in the Red Cliff here was met, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were awakened and saw the fire there. At this time, Liu Bei quickly asked Zhuge Liang for advice.

Zhuge Liang looked at the scene in front of him and could only analyze it based on his own judgment and little information. He quickly said: "Lord, we must raise our troops as soon as possible and leave here, then go to Nanjun, and then leave some old and weak here to bluff, be sure to be fast."

Zhuge Liang did not explain why, and Liu Bei immediately ordered: "Yunchang, Yide, you can order all the elites, leave a few old and weak in the camp to bluff the boat and board the ship to the upper reaches of the ship. Uncle, go arrange the guards, and we will set off now!"

Guan and Zhang immediately went down to order troops, while Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang set out directly under Chen Dao's protection. After arriving on the ship, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "Lord, according to my analysis, since Sun Quan had set fire to Cao's water camp, he would definitely not arrange any troops to fight against Cao's army on the river. Now the northwest wind is not conducive to combat, so he can only rely on fire to attack. If Cao's water camp is burned, it is estimated that Sun Quan will also have a way to burn the food and grass in Jutieshan. The failure of Cao Cao is destined."

After hearing this, Liu Bei also agreed: "Yes, I really don't know how to do it?"

Zhuge Liang also felt the same and said, "Lord, this minister can't think of it. But at this time, Sun Quan must have been on guard against us. Even if he launched an attack, it means that he would arrange people to deal with us at this time. If we don't act quickly, we will be held back by the army of Jiangdong. No matter whether we win or lose, we will not be able to lose more people. I expect that Jiangxia will also be attacked by them."

After hearing this, Liu Bei asked, "Can Sun Quan really deal with us when he defeated Cao Cao? Does he have so many people?"

Zhuge Liang said helplessly: "Lord, Sun Quan burned Cao's water camp in an impossible situation, which would greatly damage the morale of Cao's army. Cao's army was burned by Sun Quan in broad daylight, and lost so many people and ships. The morale and cohesion of the army would drop to an extreme. Then, as long as Sun Quan sent a small group of troops to continue to harass him, Cao's army would be defeated and fled. In this way, he saved a lot of troops. Moreover, after burning Cao's navy, Cao's army would not pose a threat to Sun Quan even if the loss was not great. They could not cross the river. However, our Jiangxia County was on the south side of the river. Sun Quan would definitely eliminate us first before we could feel at ease."

Liu Bei felt cold when he heard this and asked weakly: "Kong Ming, as you said, our Jiangxia will no longer be protected. What should we do next?"

Zhuge Liang said: "My lord, we must first hold the more than 20,000 elite soldiers in our hands. As long as there are troops in our hands, we will have a chance. I just planned that for us, the place with the most opportunities is not the south, but the north, so we must cross north as soon as possible to go to Nanjun to find the right fighter."

Liu Bei said strangely: "Kongming, the attack on Nanjun that we said before was under our own control. Now, can we still have a chance to go to Nanjun?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, we must be waiting to die now. The Cao army in Jiangbei is now in a mess, and basically has no combat power. The troops in Jiangdong are definitely harvesting the fruits of victory. At this time, we have the best chance to fish from the middle of the waters. Whether it is to seize Nanjun or to find opportunities to gather some defeated troops to strengthen ourselves, it is OK. As for how we act next, we will have to go to Nanjun and see the specific situation. I have arranged for a secret spy to go to Nanjun first."

After hearing this, Liu Bei felt it made sense, so he sighed and said, "It's time to make things difficult for you. Kong Ming, my business is too small, and you are wronged."

As he was talking, Guan Zhang had already arrived with his men, and immediately arranged for everyone to board the ship and head to the north shore. Not long after he drove here, he heard the sound of fighting in the direction of the camp.

Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Gan Ning and his men were coming to Liu Bei's camp. The three powerful generals naturally prepared for Guan and Zhang, but the three did not encounter the expected resistance. They were like tigers entering a flock of sheep and quickly took down Liu Bei's camp, but they did not find Liu Guan and Zhang and Zhuge Liang. The soldiers were also very rare, all old and weak. Huang Zhong said to Gan Ning: "Xingba, there is a problem here. Please tell the lord. I guess Zhuge Liang has withdrawn. See what we will do next?"

When Gan Ning sent people to report, Sun Quan had actually received the news, because Shutong had not had time to bring him by his side when Zhuge Liang was evacuating. Shutong saw the matter of Guan and Zhang Dianbing. After Guan and Zhang Dianbing left, Shutong slipped away and ran to Jiangdong to report the news. Soon Sun Quan received the information. When he learned that Liu Bei had led his troops to the northwest, he began to discuss countermeasures with Lu Su.

Of course, Zhuge Liang's book boy was secretly sent to Shitou City by the Jinyiwei to live a good life with his sweetheart. As for whether he would let him know Zhuge Liang's side in the future.

Sun Quan looked at Lu Su and said, "Zijing, where do you think Liu Bei is going? Zhuge Liang's reaction was too fast."

Lu Su pointed to the map and said, "Lord, look, there is a place from Liu Bei's military camp northwest to cross the river. I guess Liu Bei should have prepared a lot of ships there, I'm afraid they will lead their troops across the river."

Sun Quan blurted out: "Damn, this Liu Bei is such a strong man. He can even run away!"

Lu Su can basically understand these words now and said, "Lord, all our ships have been dispatched now, and there is no way to mobilize ships to chase them. Moreover, the Ganning navy is attacking Liu Bei's camp. Although Zhuge Liang has no time to set up any traps, it will eventually delay our time."

Just as they were discussing the matter, Gongsun E sent the soup to Sun Quan. Sun Quan gave Lu Su a bowl. Gongsun E did not leave after Sun Quan finished drinking the soup, and sorted out documents for Sun Quan or something.

At this moment, the guard came in and reported, "Lord, General Gan has sent someone!"

Sun Quan said without thinking: "Call in!"

After a while, someone came in outside the account. Sun Quan looked at the strong man who came and found that he was a middle-aged man with a very energetic spirit. No matter how he looked, he didn't feel like a soldier delivering a letter, but instead he felt like a general.
