LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 356
"Song thought that the biggest obstacle for General Guan to conquer Shu was Wang Lei!"
Zhang Song said without thinking.
Guan Yu put down his wine glass.
Everyone pricked up their ears and looked at Zhang Song.
Zhang Song unfolded the map of Shuzhong and pointed to the location of Fish Belly City.
"When the Han army entered Shu, they first had to pass through the natural dangers of the Three Gorges"
"Now Liu Zhang welcomes our army into the city, then the Shu army will not stop the Han army, and our army can successfully pass through the Three Gorges"
"It's just not enough to cross the Three Gorges, you also have to capture the Fish Belly City."
"Otherwise, our army's logistics supplies will be cut off by Yuwei City and cannot be transported to the hinterland of Yizhou."
Guan Yu nodded slightly and glanced at Deng Mu.
Zhang Song's analysis coincided with what Deng Mu said before.
"Originally, the defenders of Fish Belly City were mediocre people, so it would not be difficult to capture them."
"It's just that Huang Quan and Zhang Ren were always wary. Before I went on my mission, I recommended Wang Lei to guard the fish belly."
"Although this person 09 has mediocre general skills, he is extremely stable and loyal to Liu Zhang."
"Their arrangement was obviously to prevent General Guan from taking the opportunity to launch an attack and to take precautions against our Han army."
"So Song believes that our biggest problem now is how to deal with Wang Lei and capture Fish Belly City by surprise!"
After hearing Zhang Song's words, Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes closed slightly.
Deng Mu's plan was to make Liu Zhang relax his vigilance. His army successfully passed the Three Gorges and easily captured the Fish Belly City.
As long as the Fish Belly is captured, Shu will The east gate was wide open, and even if Liu Zhang came to his senses
, it would be useless. He was confident enough to lead 50,000 Han troops to defeat the Shu army and rush to Chengdu.
But now the problem came.
Although Liu Zhang welcomed his army into Shu, he still had To take precautions, he actually replaced the defender of Fish Belly City with Wang Lei, a loyal and steady subordinate like Liu Zhang.
How could he capture Fish Belly City by surprise?
"Prime Minister, I didn’t expect Liu Zhang to have a hand"
"Look at this fish belly city, how can the army take it?"
Guan Yu had to ask Deng Mu for advice.
Deng Mu had already thought of a way to break the situation, but he didn't make it clear first. Instead, he looked at Ma Di
"Youchang, do you have any good ideas to take the belly of the fish lightly?"
He wanted to give Ma Di another chance to show himself.
After Ma Di pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he cupped his hands and said:
"Prime Minister, General Guan"
"He thought that if we wanted to capture Yubelly City, we would definitely not be able to attack it by force."
"Since a forceful attack is not possible, the only option is to use wisdom. I have a plan..."
Ma Su lowered his voice and explained his plan.
After hearing this, Guan Yu became more energetic and couldn't help but praise:
"You Chang's plan is really ingenious!"
"The Prime Minister's ability to understand people is really unparalleled in the world, and he has discovered such a genius for us!"
Guan Yu was surprised and praised, and Zhang Song's face was also full of surprise.
"This Ma Su is so young and can come up with such a clever plan. Even I couldn't think of it."
"There are so many extraordinary talents under the emperor's command."
"No wonder all the princes in the world are no match for the Emperor"
"It seems that we made the right choice to dedicate Yizhou to the emperor..."
Zhang Song was also secretly shocked.
Deng Mu nodded with satisfaction.
Obviously, Ma Su's plan coincided with his.
"Yongnian, what do you think of this plan?"
Deng Mu turned to Zhang Song.
The most critical implementer of this plan still needs Zhang Song to take action.
Zhang Song put away his emotion and handed over his hand without thinking:
"Prime Minister, General Guan, this plan is a good way to seize the belly of the fish."
"Song is willing to implement this plan!"
Deng Mu nodded slightly to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu then raised his glass and laughed:
"Come on, let’s drink to our heart’s content today and never stop getting drunk."
"Tomorrow the army will march westward, pass through the Three Gorges, and get the fish bellies!"
…
Zhang Song stayed in Jiangling for several days and discussed the strategy to break the belly of the fish.
Guan Yu then issued an order, and nearly 50,000 Han army soldiers marched westward along the Yangtze River towards central Sichuan.
Zhang Song took Liu Zhang's order from the Duke of Shu and ordered all counties along the way to let him go.
The Han army was unstoppable and crossed the Three Gorges within a few days.
It was late summer. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The Han army arrived at Yubelly City.
After Guan Yu gave an order, the Han army stopped advancing westward and set up camp southeast of Yuwei City and on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
For three days in a row, the Han army lingered.
Inside the Fish Belly City.
Wang Lei's nerves were already tense, so the Shu army in the city was always on alert to prevent any changes in the Han army.
At sunset.
As usual, he stood at the top of the city and patrolled, urging the soldiers not to relax their vigilance.
Standing at the top of the city and looking into the distance, the outline of the Han camp is vaguely visible.
Only 50,000 Han troops were seen marching down the north bank of the river. There was no end to the camp, and the flags were rolled like a forest.
"Guan Yu, why don't you continue to advance westward? What are your plans?"
Wang Lei frowned, and there was suspicion and worry in his eyes.
According to common sense, after passing the Three Gorges, Guan Yu and the Han army would stay for at most one day, and then they should continue 497 along the west of the Yangtze River and head for Jiangzhou.
But Guan Yu did not The Han army was ordered to station troops in the east of Yucheng City for three days without moving.
This move really made Wang Lei feel uneasy. All he could do now was to send people on flying horses to Chengdu to report the abnormal behavior of the Han army to Liu Zhang. On the other hand, they were on strict guard.
Just when they were thinking and suspecting, a group of people roared over.
"Where is Wang Lei? I am Zhang Song!"
"If you don't open the city gate yet, let me enter the city!"
The scribe immediately rushed down to the city and shouted towards the city. Wang Lei withdrew his thoughts and looked down at the city under the light of the setting sun. Sure enough, he recognized Zhang Song among the crowd.
Wang Lei's eyes were filled with suspicion. At this time , shouldn't Zhang Song be accompanying Guan Yu in the Han camp as a guide?
Why did he suddenly come to Yuwei City?
And he was in such a hurry?
"Zhang Biejia, if you didn't accompany Guan Yunchang, why did you suddenly come to my belly?"
Wang Lei did not open the city gate immediately, but asked loudly.
Zhang Song's face darkened and he said sternly:
"I'm here to save your life. If you don't open the door, you will definitely die!"
As soon as he said this, Wang Lei's expression suddenly changed.[]
