Liu Yan was entangled, Xu Shu and Pang Tong were also entangled, Pang Tong studied the map provided by Zhang Song, and figured out three land routes, one waterway can attack Shu, but none of them are a flat river, each has its own dangers. Originally, Pang Tong didn't have much entanglement, and it was still easy to choose two of the three waterways.

However, the key is that now Liu Yan is also going, so she can't choose a more adventurous road, after all, Her Royal Highness the princess has no experience in long-distance marching, and if there are more battles and more thrilling battles on the way, Pang Tong is worried that she will not be able to stand it.

In this way, the range of options is even smaller. Pang Tong was a little undecided. Fortunately, Xu Shu is also worried about Liu Yan's entry into Sichuan. The two got together and studied for a long time, revised the plan countless times, overturned and rebuilt again, and waited until the middle of summer in July, and could not reach a unified opinion. At every regular meeting, Liu Yan would ask how the route into Sichuan had been chosen, whether it had been decided, and whether there was a plan that could be brought up for everyone to discuss? As a result, Pang Tong and Xu Shu said that it was still in the plan every time.

In the end, Liu Yan couldn't wait and couldn't lose her temper with the teacher, so she had to take Pang Tong under the knife. He ordered Pang Tong to submit a decent preliminary plan for everyone to study and discuss within three days.

Now, Pang Tong was forced hard. The poor little eyes kept sweeping towards Xu Shu. Liu Yan saw it in her eyes and thought that the teacher planned to use delaying tactics to wait for her to change her mind. This is not such a trivial matter as dressing up and eating eggs, this is a major matter that will determine the happiness index of the people of Jingzhou in the future, how can she easily change her mind? She has the conditions to go, and she has no conditions to create conditions to go.

In fact, she really guessed it, Xu Shu really wanted to take advantage of the delay in the line, and then think of a way to see if she could persuade Liu Yan to dispel the idea of entering Sichuan together.

But before he could figure it out. Liu Yan rushed first. The boss urged, and the subordinates didn't cooperate, so it couldn't be said. Therefore, in the last three days, the two discussed and studied day and night, and finally selected two sets of plans for Liu Yan to choose. In fact, after weighing the hearts of the two, Liu Yan didn't go, any route was easy to take.

However, they didn't dare to mention this kind of thing to Liu Yan. All they could do was obediently hand in a detailed battle plan.

Three days later, Xu Shu and Pang Tong came with a thick pile of cloth to see Liu Yan, Liu Yan welcomed them in, and when she saw the things in their hands, Liu Yan finally smiled: "It's really good that you have finally taken this step, the time is just right." ”

Xu Shu and Pang Tong looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and put the cloth in their hands on the case: "The subordinates have lived up to the princess's trust, and have selected two routes, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to decide in detail!"

"Well, two land routes, not including the water route, can you tell me quickly, how do you fight?" Liu Yan asked knowingly.

"Yes!" Xu Shu responded, but motioned to Pang Tong to continue, because he was the one who would enter Sichuan with Liu Yan.

Pang Tong cleared his throat and said: "These two paths are aimed at two different targets, so there is no conflict in itself, but based on my current troop allocation, if we go two at the same time, it may be a bit risky." ”

"So, your actual plan should be three roads, right? Or is there more than three roads at all?" Liu Yan didn't even need to look at the cloth they handed over, she knew that they must have vetoed no less than a dozen routes in the past three days and the many days they had delayed before.

"Entering Shu is a big matter, it is related to the well-being of the people of Jingzhou and the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and subordinates naturally need to be cautious and cautious. Pang Tong's face did not change color, and his heart did not beat.

"Okay, tell me what happened to the two paths you have carefully chosen!" Liu Yan didn't eat their sycophants at all, and just talked about things.

"The first way is to send troops from Nanyang, go straight to Hanzhong, first break Zhang Lu and then take Chengdu. This is difficult first and then easy, because there are many passes there, and it is the most difficult one to fight in Shu Road. But the good thing about it is that once you punch it in. Whichever pass is guarded, the Cao thieves in the north will not be able to enter the river. As for taking down Zhang Lu, the remaining Liu Zhang is basically a turtle in an urn, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Pang Tong spoke eloquently.

Who knows, as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yan shook her head: "This road is not good!

Pang Tongyi was stunned, and looked at Xu Shu with surprised eyes, why did the princess just shake her head and veto it when she heard it? Then does she want to talk about this second way? If she shakes her head again and says it badly, then his face will be gone.

Seeing him hesitate, Liu Yan pulled the corners of her mouth and spoke: "I can't say it well, I have my reasons." Although this road can avoid the heavy troops arranged by Liu Zhang's side, it can also hinder Cao Thief's army. But, as you said, before we arrived in Hanzhong, we had to face one Xiongguan after another, none of which were easy to attack, Zhang Lu was known as a rice thief, and naturally he was not a poor man, he had been fighting with Liu Zhang for so many years, and he had always had the upper hand, and he was definitely not a soldier who did not know how to fight, besides, now he has a Ma Chao on his side. Let's go and beat him, it's not a little bit hard, it's very hard!

The resources we have now are the map of Xichuan's troop deployment, and there is very little information on Zhang Lu's side in Hanzhong. We don't have a lot of resources to support us, and we sacrifice a lot to win. I have said again and again that our soldiers are very precious, and our generals are also very precious, so why do I so strictly require our soldiers to train hard and see blood? Don't you hope that they will die a few fewer on the battlefield? Have you estimated the first path you are proposing now, and what will be our losses?

I know that you are for my own good, and you want me to retreat in the face of difficulties, and I am afraid that I will be in danger after entering Sichuan, so I plan this route that will definitely be rejected, so that the civil and military forces can veto it at the regular meeting, so that you can delay a little longer. However, what I want to say is that this time I have to go, none of you should think of any tricks to fool me, it's useless!"

Pang Tong was really ashamed to drill a hole at this time, and when discussing, he and Xu Shu seriously discussed this first line as one of the feasible solutions. Although they also knew that if they wanted to take down Zhang Lu, the price would be a bit big, and it was true that as Liu Yan said, there would be various risks if they would lose their troops. However, compared with the benefits after the success, these efforts are deserved, and they are fully worth the ticket price.

However, this route was rejected by Liu Yan with a gun and stick, which made Pang Tong feel very embarrassed. When did he use tricks to Meng Liu Yan? There has always been only Liu Yanmeng's subordinates, and it is better not for her to be blinded by her subordinates!
