If Ma Yue had a map of the world in front of him, he would find that the whole world had become a mess. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now he doesn't need a map, since the Jiangdong Army landed in Guangling County, Xuzhou, the secret letters of war reports sent from all over the world have not stopped.

He already knew that this was a big war that would affect the entire Central Plains.

From the outside of Jizhou Pass to the coast of the East China Sea, from the north of the Yangtze River to the Saishang grassland, from the Tongguan Ancient Road to the Green Mountains of the Western Regions.

Everywhere, every moment, war is breaking out.

Although the transmission of information in this era is still based on manpower, the way of information transmission on official roads in various places is not slow. Every ten miles a pavilion is placed, and the cavalry with the letter changes horses for ten miles and a person for a hundred miles, and the letters can gallop thousands of miles a day.

There are those who are tired and fall from the horse, and there are those who run away from the horses. Even so, it still can't keep up with the speed of the delivery of war reports.

The tide of battle changed rapidly, and the horsemen who delivered the last letter had only run twenty miles before the second letter for help had already set off.

In the first three days of the war, Liang Guo exhausted more than 100 war horses in various places.

But at this time, no one will grieve for those war horses who have run away with the last trace of vitality.

The rate at which their robes are dying far exceeds this number.

Lu Bu sent a message in the hinterland of Xianbei to send the head of the Xianbei Xian King Bu Dugen, and the battle was won, informing the King of Liang that he was going to drive his troops eastward next.

The Western Regions Coalition under the command of the Mawan has invaded the land of the three counties of the Kushan Empire, and the emperor of the Kushan Empire has surrendered and wants to negotiate peace with the King of Liang, so the Mawan garrison of the Kushan border sent a message to inform Ma Yue and wait for the next instructions...... However, Ma Wan also has a private letter in addition to the battle report, which is not the kind that can be opened during the palace discussion.

The letter said that as long as Ma Yue said a word, he would be able to sink this empire in the west, and beat the soldiers and horses of the Liang Kingdom to the side of the sunset.

Ma Yue smiled, this is the only 'war report' that made him laugh from the bottom of his heart in the past few days, waved his hand to write down the current situation, and told Ma Yu that if he doesn't want to come back, he will build a country over there, and if he comes back, he may be able to catch the first snow next year.

He regretted that he had sent his closest half-brother to such a distant place, and it would be a major problem to return home in a short time.

In fact, Ma Yue is not optimistic about the world pattern at this time, he, the king of Liang, is really fighting against half of the world in this era.

The previous smooth sailing led to this result.

Although most of the strategic deployments are not wrong, whether it is a war with Xianbei, a conflict with Guishan, or even a battle with Jiangdong, these things are extremely correct choices to put forward individually.

Fighting against Jiangdong is related to whether the world can be reunited, the feudal empire can only have one government, and the melee of the princes is always a wrong choice for internal friction. And the war with Xianbei is also urgent, Kebi Neng is a rare Ming Jun in Xianbei, if they are not defeated at this time, when their strength recovers, they will still go south to make trouble.

The conflict with Guishan is more related to the stability of the 27 countries of the Western Regions, the rear of the Great Liang, and the foundation of the noble kingdom of the Heavenly Empire.

But when they come together, even if they are as strong as a cool country, they seem to be powerless.

If not, the horse play will be in Guishan Jianguo...... Most of the old brothers who helped him became marquis and became famous in the world, but Ma Wan, the first guy who followed him, worked in the Western Regions for half his life, and his whole life can be summarized as a simple word 'Western Discussion'.

Even if it is the founding of the country, even if he does not respect his orders in the future, it doesn't matter.

It has always been Ma Yue who can't afford to play with horses, and Brother Monkey is worthy of Ma San!

Ma Yue knew that the whirlpool of this Central Plains War would pull into every prince who tried to fish in troubled waters, and what awaited him would be a protracted war.

If you win, you will dominate the country.

If you are defeated, there will be no bones left!

Come on.

Come on!

……

Ma Yue has received a lot more battle reports in the past few days than he has received in the previous year, but he is not the only one in the world who feels sad because of this.

King Liang's sorrow is just how to fight, who to hit first...... More people, although the reasons for sorrow are different, always have the same purpose.

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

Liu Bei sat in the pavilion outside the mansion, holding a letter in his hand and was stunned.

The peaches in the courtyard were ripe, but Liu Bei's heart fell into a dilemma.

In the hearts of some people, this battle is for the sake of a war to determine the world, such as Ma Yue and Sun Jian.

In the hearts of some people, this Central Plains War is just an opportunity to turn over, at first Liu Bei thought that no one thought so, but now, he doesn't think so.

Because he knew that the prime minister and emperor of Luoyang might think so.

The two-foot yellow silk in his hand came from the pen of the Luoyang Emperor and the prime minister, and there was no edict for ten years to enter Jing, and this messy edict was to ask him Liu Xuande to raise troops to march east into Yuzhou, and cut off the connection between Yuzhou's pseudo-herding Ma Dai and the direction of Xuzhou in Liangguo.

"Alas......"

Liu Bei sighed, he hadn't fought on a horse for many years, and now he had white hair on his top, and he didn't wait for the world to be peaceful, but he waited for such an edict, which made him feel sad like a stone in his heart.

It's the same thing, and the people of Jiangdong haven't looked for him. In the era when all grass and trees are soldiers, who would ignore such a herdsman Liu Xuande, who holds tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou? Especially when he's still so old-fashioned.

In a fight, it is natural to pull up a helper who dares to make a move and a dead hand.

There are not many such fierce people among the princes in this era, but Liu Xuande is one.

Kong Rong sent a letter, and Liu Xuande rushed straight to Beihai to kill tens of thousands of troops in Guanhai; Xuzhou is in trouble, but it is still this Liu Xuande who faces Ma Yue and wins a respite for the people of Xuzhou.

Even the soldiers and horses under the command of this person can block the offensive of the little overlord Sun Ce, who dares to say that he can't?

Benevolence and righteousness are only his characteristics, but not his identity, from the inside out, he is still a famous prince in this turbulent era.

And at this time, where will the princes not wait for the opportunity?

It's just that he hasn't figured out who to fight yet!

"General, it's time for you to make up your mind." Zhuge Liang bowed his hand slightly, and said to Liu Bei: "The two generals Zhang and Huang have gathered troops and horses everywhere, whether to block Ma Bozhan in Yuzhou or go south to the right bank of the river, it is up to you to decide." ”

Zhuge Liang did not call Liu Bei the lord or the envoy, at this time, Liu Xuande was a general, just like his official title, General Zhendong.

The general of Zhendong of the imperial court.

This official position is equivalent to the governor of Liangguo, and at this juncture, a state pastor and general who is not subject to the prime minister, the binding force of the imperial court on him is only in his heart.

An edict from the imperial court was sent to Jingzhou, and he didn't need to make any plans at all, and directly started a large-scale mobilization of troops and horses, which was all as it should be.

But at this time, people will more or less have their own ideas, such as Liu Bei...... He looked at Zhuge Liang, and for the first time, his resolute and strong face showed hesitation, not as tenacious as before.

He asked, "Kong Ming, if I obey the order this time, how long will it take for the imperial court to end this dispute?" ”

Since the imperial edict was sent to Jingzhou, as the first staff military advisor under Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang has never given Liu Bei the slightest advice on this matter.

Liu Bei knew what Zhuge Liang thought, but he really couldn't make up his mind, and there was only one thing in this life that made him hesitate at a loss.

Does the imperial court really have the ability to pacify the world?

"Since the lord asks, Liang will plan for you." Zhuge Liang pursed his lips and arched his hand, with a solemn expression, and said: "No matter what the lord does, Jingzhou will fall into war, which is inevitable." To help the imperial court, it is necessary to be enemies with Ma Bozhan of Yuzhou, Xu Gongming of Xuzhou, Guan Yunchang of Jizhou, and Du Bohou of Qingzhou, and Jiangdong in the south has always had the intention of encroaching on Jingzhou, and even Dong Zhongying, who was stationed in the White Emperor, would cross the Yangtze River and march to Jingzhou...... If the lord wants to honor the edict, he must be prepared to burn the jade. ”

"Even if General Yide faces Ma Bozhan, Wen Chang fights Xu Gongming, Han Shengzi Long defends Qingji, and the lord leads his troops and horses to fight Jiangdong, it is difficult to be sure of victory." Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei, and said with a little worry in his eyes: "The lord will serve the country with his will to die, and the imperial court may not be able to recover the world within ten years." Jiangdong has the Yangtze River, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the imperial court seized Tongguan and took Sanfu, Longguan was extremely difficult to capture, Xiliang was located in a high mountain, and there was a plateau miasma behind him...... Ma Yue will not die, and Liang Guo will not die. ”

"So, isn't Kong Ming optimistic about the imperial court?" Liu Bei closed his eyes and thought about it, and only after a while did he say: "Even if the imperial court has no natural danger, it is difficult to confront the Liang Kingdom......

"The lord knows what is going on, but he is a scholar and also learns farming, just to save his life when the world is in turmoil." Zhuge Liang smiled a little self-deprecatingly, took a deep breath and said: "It is not easy for a person like the lord to live until now, for the princes, what is right and what is wrong?" Attacking each other, who cares about the people of Limin? ”

Because of the experience of life, Zhuge Liang's growth was accompanied by displacement, he knows very well what the people want, what the people want is just to live! But in this day and age, it is already too difficult to survive.

Those who make their lives as princes, and those who follow the people, which is not a scheming careerist? Who cares about the lives of a few?

"Now the only ones who can stop the chaos in the world are Liangguo and Jiangdong, and the imperial court is orthodox, but if you drag the world into a chaotic war for more than ten years or even longer for the sake of this orthodoxy, is it worth it?" Zhuge Liang didn't speak again, in fact, Liu Bei was clear about many things, and at this time, no one was in a hurry, just wait for Liu Bei to think clearly about where the final blade would go.

No matter what Liu Bei's final choice is, no one will complain about Jingzhou. Even if they follow the lord and fight against the people from all directions, they will not be afraid.

Because Liu Bei is the only one who dreams in this era, when the etiquette collapses, it becomes particularly difficult to persevere.

They are the ones who have gathered together for this dream!
