"It seems that the situation is no more obvious, Yuan Shang knew that Jinyang was difficult to hold, so he sent people to Lunu and Hangu Pass in the starry night, and persuaded Cao Liu and the two to change their strategy, and each led the main force to come to Jinyang.

Zhang Liang's thoughts were extremely keen, and his words broke through the mystery several times, and also expressed the judgment in the heart of the potter.

In the big tent, the people were in an uproar again.

Fan Xu threw the leg of mutton to the ground, patted the case and scolded: "Sima Yi, this dog has a big appetite, and he still wants to destroy the main force of our Great Wei, can he destroy it!" ”

"That is, if Liu Bei and Cao Cao dare to come, we will destroy them together!"

"This is really a God-given opportunity for our Great Wei, destroy Liu Bei and Cao Cao, we will take Youzhou and Guanlong without much effort, unify the north in one go, those barbarians in the south, who is still the opponent of our Great Wei."

Fan Xu set off the enthusiasm and self-confidence of the generals, and everyone was full of confidence and pride, as if they didn't take Liu Bei and Cao Cao in their eyes.

It's no wonder that over the years, Great Wei has won consecutive battles, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have both been defeated under the Taoshang monarchs, and the big guys have won a lot, and it is inevitable that they will have some contempt for the enemy.

"At any time, there is a price to pay for despising an enemy, especially an old treacherous enemy like Cao Cao and Liu Bei." The potter waved his hand and interrupted the arrogance of the generals.

The potter's mind has always remained calm, he knows that Liu Bei and Cao Cao at this time are no longer what they used to be, and they must not be underestimated.

Let's talk about Liu Bei first, although he is only based on Youzhou, but Youzhou is his hometown, and he has both Yuan Shao's old ministry and Gongsun Zhan's old ministry under his command, which can be said to have been supported by all forces in Youzhou, and has established absolute prestige in Youzhou in a short period of time.

In terms of troops, although Liu Bei's main mobile force is only 30,000, nearly 20,000 of them are Youyan cavalry, and if used properly, the combat effectiveness can be as strong as 100,000 male soldiers.

Moreover, Liu Bei has Zhao Yun, a cavalry general who is proficient in Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous fighting style, and the 20,000 cavalry must have been trained by Zhao Yun as a first-class elite iron cavalry in the world, and the combat effectiveness is unimaginably strong.

As for the generals, in addition to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei also has Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Wen Chou allegiance, in addition to Zhang Liao, the remaining four generals are all invincible, and they are all first-class generals in the world.

In terms of ministers, in addition to Yuan Shang's old ministers, there are also wise men like Zhuge Liang who have traveled through heaven and earth to give advice.

At this time, Liu Bei's territory was not as large as that of Xuzhou, and there were not as many soldiers and horses as there were in Xuzhou back then, but he had a set of ultra-luxury lineup, and his strength was far better than that of that year.

Such a Liu Bei, how dare the potters underestimate it, otherwise they would not have sent Huo Quai, Li Guang Gaoshun, and Chen Ping to Lu Nu to resist, and sternly told them that they could only defend, not attack.

Besides, Cao Cao, when he was driven out of the Central Plains, he was indeed a loss of soldiers, his vitality was greatly damaged, and his strength once fell to the point where even Liu Cousin Sun Ce was inferior.

However, at this time, Cao Cao's strength had already recovered to the strength when he was in the Central Plains, and even surpassed it.

The land of Hanzhong, the land of Liangzhou in Guanlong, has all belonged to Cao Cao, and the Liangzhou horses and the fierce Qin men are enough for Cao Cao to arm a powerful cavalry.

Moreover, the surrender of the Ma clan made Cao Cao get peerless generals like Ma Chao and Pang De, and the strength of the military generals team was greatly improved.

As for the strategists, like Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Jia Xu and other strategists, except for Jia Xu, who is the best at self-protection and never takes the initiative to contribute, Guo Jia and Xun Yu are enough to influence the situation in the world.

After suffering so much, they no longer dared to despise the potters, and once they became serious, their cunning was still terrifying.

Cao Cao's overall strength is even slightly above Liu Bei.

With Cao Cao's strong strength, if it weren't for the natural danger of Hangu Pass, even if it was a generation of commanders like Zhou Yafu, it would be difficult to resist.

If these two princes were to fight against the potters separately, the potters would not scare either of them, but if they joined forces, it would give the potters a little headache.

"The king is right, Liu Bei has 30,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Cao has at least 40,000 soldiers and horses, plus Yuan Shang's soldiers, it can be the same as the number of our army, and the enemy army is mostly cavalry, the terrain around Jinyang is flat, which is conducive to cavalry galloping, our army does not have an advantage, this will be a difficult battle." Zhang Liang analyzed again.

In the big tent, there was finally silence.

Fan Xu and other generals, who were originally arrogant, finally calmed down after the words of the potter and Zhang Liang, and began to realize the strength of the enemy, and the self-confidence that carried away the mind gradually extinguished.

"King, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are so strong, so how should we deal with them?" Fan Hao was so confident that he went crazy a second ago, but in the blink of an eye, he was stunned again.

"That's why you can't underestimate the enemy too much, you have to think about it." The potter's fingertips tapped on the table and looked at Zhang Liang habitually.

At this time, the mastermind of Great Wei was already with his eyes slightly closed, his brows were darkly locked, and he was obviously already using his brains to think of a way to deal with it.

"Yuan Shang and the troops of the Three Kingdoms will deal with us, then we will use a plan to break his alliance." A man in front of the tent suddenly jumped up and shouted proudly.

The potter raised his eyes, but saw that the person who offered the plan was Zhang Yi.

"Even the horizontal and the vertical? Interesting. The potter was very interested, raised his hand and said, "You can tell me how to connect the horizontal method." ”

Zhang Yi got up and pointed to the northeast corner of the map with his hand, "Gongsun Du of Liaodong has been in Liaodong for several years, the people are full of support, and the prestige is extremely even, and there are tens of thousands of Liaodong iron horsemen under his command, and his strength should not be underestimated. If the king of Wei can take the name of the Son of Heaven for a long time and crown Gongsun Du as the Duke of Liao, Yi will have the confidence to send an envoy to Liaodong and persuade that Gongsun Du to send troops to Youzhou, when Liu Bei's nest is in danger, are you afraid that he will not withdraw his troops and return? ”

Liaodong Gongsun Du, hearing this name, the potter's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Although this Gongsun Du is far less famous than Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan in history, and even inferior to Liu Biao and Yuan Shang, the pottery merchant knows that this person is definitely a character.

The pottery merchant opened the resume of Gongsun Du in his mind, this person was originally born as a small official in Xuansu County, and he was also a poor man, and later recommended by his fellow villager Xu Rong, he was appointed by Dong Zhuo as the Taishou of Liaodong and became a prince.

Because Gongsun Du was not from a good background, those powerful people in Liaodong County were all disdainful and dissatisfied, and after Gongsun Du took office, he strictly punished and punished the law, killed a few disobedient heroes in a row, and severely cracked down on the powerful forces.

After this Gongsun Du gained a firm foothold in Liaodong, he took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and had no time to look eastward, and took the opportunity to establish himself as the pastor of Houjiaping Prefecture in Liaodong, conquered Goguryeo in the east, defeated Wuhuan in the west, and attacked the Liaodong Peninsula in the south.

Even, after the Yuan clan mastered Qingzhou, Gongsun Du dared to send troops across the Bohai Sea to capture the counties of Donglai County near the sea in the north of Qingzhou, and divided them into Yingzhou, and privately appointed the assassin to listen to his orders.

Later, after the pottery merchant captured Qingzhou, with his military strength, it was enough to expel Gongsun Du from Donglai, but in order to buy war horses from Liaodong, out of strategic and economic needs, he did not use troops against Gongsun Du, and acquiesced to Gongsun Du's rule over Donglai counties, and used those counties as trade ports with Liaodong to facilitate the purchase of Liaodong war horses.

Gongsun Du's various enterprising actions prove that this person is a very ambitious hero, and Youzhou has a close relationship with Liaodong since ancient times, and Gongsun Du may not have no ambition to encroach on Youzhou, or even covet Hebei.

"Well, even Heng Gongsun Du to contain Liu Bei is indeed a clever plan, feasible." The spirit of the potter is masterpiece, and he immediately nodded in praise.

Zhang Yi also became excited, and pointed his hand to the southwest corner again, "Yizhou Liu Zhangguang used meritocracy to train the whole army, and gradually showed the demeanor of a hero, and the king can send another person who can speak well to Lianheng Liu Zhang to attack Hanzhong and threaten Guanlong." ”

Taking a breath, Zhang Yi continued: "Hanzhong has been a barrier in Shuzhong since ancient times, and if Liu Zhang wants to stabilize Yizhou, he must seize Hanzhong. Cao Cao has long had the ambition of swallowing Yizhou, and Hanzhong is his springboard for attacking Shu, and he will not allow Hanzhong to lose, and will definitely withdraw his troops to rescue. ”

In the end, Zhang Yi's hand slapped on the location of Bingzhou again, and sneered: "As soon as these two plans came out, Cao Liu and Liu had to withdraw their troops, and then Yuan Shang's plan to join forces would go bankrupt, who could still stop the king from breaking through Jinyang and taking all the states." ”

After Zhang Yi's words, the pottery merchant was already swept away in front of him, stood up, stood in front of the map with his hands in his hands, and his excited eyes wandered between Liaodong and Shuzhong, his mind tumbling like a tide, weighing Zhang Yi's plan.

Gongsun Du's dispatch of troops is already a sure thing, and there is no need to worry about it.

As for this Liu Zhang's journey, if Liu Zhang was just the original weak Liu Zhang, even if he borrowed a hundred guts, he would never dare to send troops to Hanzhong to provoke Cao Cao, a predator.

The pottery merchant knew that Liu Zhang at this time was actually Goujian, the king of Yue, and with Goujian's ambition and courage, it was impossible to be willing to occupy a corner of Shuzhong, and if there was a chance to seize Hanzhong, he would definitely send troops.

"Under normal circumstances, even if Gongsun Du wants to send troops to Youzhou, he should send troops when Liu Bei and we are both defeated and our vitality is greatly damaged, but with Zhang Yi on the horse, with his three-inch tongue, it should be said that Gongsun Du will send troops in advance."

Zhang Liang also agreed, and then changed the conversation, "Yizhou is also the same reason, Liu Zhang can wait until Cao Cao and we are inseparable, and then take the opportunity to send troops to Hanzhong, if you want to persuade him to send troops in advance, you have to have a lobbyist who can compare Zhang Yi, but under the command of King Wei, there seems to be no such peerless lobbyist." ”

"Is it comparable to Zhang Yi's peerless lobbyist...... the potter thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a name.
