Chapter 458: Finding the Enemy Trace Zhuge's Mind
For example, this is not unbelievable at this moment, but I really don’t have any strategists here, so...
But my lord is full of talents, so they can definitely imagine what the situation is, so they don’t have to worry too much. [1
Li Tong really thought so. On his side, he could only rely on the generals. He said that there were only three or five generals. What could he do? But his lord had all the advisers of his Yanzhou army. Therefore, what would Ma Chao do to bring his army to Jingzhou? Can they still not think of what they were going to do?
So, thinking of this, Li Tong stopped thinking about it. What he could do now is to send first-hand information to his lord. As for the rest, it was to protect his own territory and not give Ma Chao the Liangzhou Army an opportunity to take advantage of it. Although he didn't think Ma Chao would lead his troops to attack him, it was really hard to say about this.
-----------------------------------------------------
After all, this is not something impossible. On the contrary, if you think about it carefully, it is still very likely. What if Ma Chao changes his mind temporarily and leads his troops to his place. If he is not ready, then there is no place to cry?
Of course, Li Tong didn't think this would happen, and the probability was still not high, but he had to "prevent problems before they happened". Otherwise, he would be ashamed of his lord's trust!
Therefore, Li Tong issued several orders in a row, both during the day and at night, and they all had to strictly guard against the enemy's attack. Even though Jiyang City Gate is still open in the morning and closed in the evening, martial law has begun to be strictly investigated. Although nothing was found, the people all knew that it seemed that it was going to fight, otherwise it would not have been like this.
This directly led to the rise in the grain prices in Jiyang, and all the necessary products rose. However, Li Tong had no choice. Although he didn't know any market regulation or economic, he knew that he was helpless in this matter.
-----------------------------------------------------
Because he knew that, let alone himself, even his lord, he had no good idea when he encountered this. But he also gave an order. Anyone who dared to stock up on goods would be beheaded and made public. The result was that Li Tong had some prestige here for so many years. So the people were very afraid of him.
Even a powerful man with some strength is the same. After all, they all know that Li Tong is a man. He can be said to have messed with him. Then he will kill the living person if he stares at him, no matter who you are. What kind of aristocratic families and powerful landlords are not afraid at all.
Although Li Tong may not speak much, it is indeed a tough person. Otherwise, it would not be possible that so many people would be afraid of him. This is definitely not without a reason.
But as long as you don’t provoke him on your own initiative, there will be nothing to do. But if it happens the other way around, then you can only ask for more blessings.
-----------------------------------------------------
So those who really understand him understand, don’t mess with him, otherwise, there will be no place to reason if you die. Cao Cao is not here, and Li Tong’s words are better than his lord, so few people dare to mess with him. Otherwise, wouldn’t they all seek death?
Of course, Li Tong is definitely not an unreasonable person, this is certain. If everyone can be at peace, that is of course the best. If you don’t cause trouble for yourself, you will naturally not cause any trouble for you, but if it weren’t like this, then you can only say hehe, I’m sorry.
Li Tong didn't think he was too cruel, but he was definitely not a person who was compassionate and sympathetic, nor was he a good person. This is certain. Some people may not know themselves very well, so if they really make themselves unhappy in the end, they will not make them happy. That's all. As for truly supporting themselves in doing things, they didn't say anything, and they won't be sorry for others. After all, isn't this the case in this troubled times? They are all, just making a living.
-----------------------------------------------------
Indeed, Li Tong thought so. Of course, he hadn't had a big ambition before, but when he really saw the reality clearly, he also understood that at most he would follow his lord and create a career. As for the others, it seemed that nothing else was really.
Ma Chao and others left Wancheng by Pang De and Li Hui. After all, Ma Chao was just passing by here, so he would never stay in Wancheng because it would be useless to stay too much. As for a military parade like in Hanzhong, he didn't. After all, although he has not been to Wancheng for a long time, the soldiers have seen him and are not unfamiliar with him, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.
Like those soldiers who don’t know their lords and princesses, they still won’t have any concerns. After all, I dare not say that every soldier in Nanyang recognizes himself, but it should be said that almost all of them know.
-----------------------------------------------------
Ma Chao led his troops away. He had already made up his mind to never return it. But he probably would not return it soon after, he would encounter an opponent who he did not want to meet. The person was the legendary Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Kongming.
Although Ma Chao also believed that Zhuge Liang was so immense that he was so immense, sometimes it was not comparable to human power, but to be honest, Zhuge Liang had the ability, but he felt that he was not that amazing, so Ma Chao still knew about it.
Yes, Ma Chao also admitted that Zhuge Liang is capable. After all, both in terms of internal affairs and military affairs, they have unique features. Moreover, they are even more famous in the field of military manufacturing. I guess there are few people in the world who can compare with each other, and Ma Chao admits it.
But if it is true, it is as described in the Romance, Ma Chao still doesn't believe it. But this really made him not want to go and face him so quickly. So after Ma Chao led his troops out of Wancheng, he did not choose to attack Liu Bei's territory in Nanyang, because those were defended by Zhuge Liang, so in order to avoid contact with him too early, Ma Chao chose to run to the southwest and take a detour to Nanjun.
-----------------------------------------------------
In fact, there is no way Ma Chao does this. After all, he really doesn't want to do this, but he can't do anything about it. After all, now he really doesn't want to deal with Zhuge Liang too early, so it's better to let him go. So even so, it makes people feel that he is afraid of Zhuge Liang, but Ma Chao still does this. So he chose to take a detour directly, and everyone didn't say much. At the beginning, his lord was all ventilated and said everything, so what else could they say.
For them, although they wanted to bypass Liu Bei's territory in Nanyang, it did not mean that they would be let go so easily. After all, there would be a future.
Judging from the meaning of his lord, it is obvious that he should arrive in Jingzhou as soon as possible to meet Liu Bei. Liu Bei seems to be still in Wuling, but he is in Nanjun, so he can stay in Wuling forever? No one knows about this. If you don’t talk about other places, just talking about Jiangling, it can be said that it is very difficult to capture. If you want to seize this place, you don’t know how long it will take.
-----------------------------------------------------
So in this way, Ma Chao took everyone to take a detour into Nanjun, but even so, after all, there were so many people and such a big disturbance, so Zhuge Liang still knew about it. No matter how you say that Liu Bei's Han army's exploration of horses was definitely not a waste, of course, he must have known it.
However, Zhuge Liang did not take any measures against Ma Chao's Liangzhou army. He also knew that no matter what, his troops in Nanyang could not hurt others' muscles. After all, there were so many people, so you could definitely not deal with them with just a few thousand ambush.
Moreover, Zhuge Liang Liang didn't think that Ma Chao would be ambushed in the Liangzhou army. After all, if he guessed correctly, Ma Chao would definitely go around Nanjun, so he knew where the other party would pass. So if the ambush was right, that was not said, but if he was wrong, it would be futile.
Zhuge Liang is indeed more cautious, so he is not very sure. He is indeed almost unaware of it.
-----------------------------------------------------
Now Ma Chao is like this, which makes him feel that he is better not to take action. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
