Chapter 264: Reversing the Fortunes of the Country

"This task...... It's a bit of a trick!"

Yang Yun secretly calculated in his heart, needless to say, the task of the Sanxing Han Chamber was not to be said for the time being, just the obsession of avenging Guan Yu and Zhang Fei was very difficult to complete.

Among them, Guan Yu was attacked by Lu Meng, and finally died tragically at the hands of Wu Jun. Zhang Fei was assassinated by Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, and now these two people have also joined Sun Quan's command.

If you want to avenge the two of you, you must first defeat Wu Jun. That is, to save the fate of Liu Bei's defeat in the battle of Yiling. Only by winning this big battle can you consider avenging the two of them.

The Battle of Yiling was a major battle that affected the national fortunes of Shu Han and Eastern Wu. It's not that easy to reverse.

In the original timeline, Liu Bei lost this battle, which directly led to the sharp reduction of the national fortunes of Shu Han by half, and the 80,000 elites who followed Liu Bei to the south and the north were all lost, leaving only a small part of the troops to protect Liu Bei and stationed in Yong'an.

In addition to the loss of troops, Ma Liang, who was known as the best of Ma's five permanent white eyebrows, died in battle, and the retreat road of Zhenbei general Huang Quan was blocked, and he had no choice but to lead his troops and horses to surrender to Wei.

You must know that after Huang Quan surrendered to Wei, there were more than 50 generals under his command who would be marquis in the future, and there were a large number of talents.

These should be the talents that Liu Bei was ready to reuse after conquering Jingzhou, and the loss of these people directly led to the number of talents in Shu Han becoming very scarce in the future.

The loss of troops and talents greatly damaged the vitality of Shushan, which was originally vigorous, and completely lost the opportunity to defeat Eastern Wu and unify the south of the Great River and the Wei State.

Relying only on the power of Yizhou alone, against most of the Wei State, it is undoubtedly an egg hitting a stone. Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan to attack Longxi and Guanzhong in the future, but also to attack and defend and try his best to maintain the survival of Shu Han.

As for the Sanxing Han Dynasty and the desire to restore the Central Plains, Zhuge Liang shouted loudly on the surface, but in fact, deep down he had already understood that he could not accomplish this goal at all.

After Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang attacked the proposed two ways in Longzhong, and the plan to attack the Central Plains had been shattered. And Liu Bei's eastern expedition to Wu and his defeat by Lu Xun were the root cause of Shu Han's collapse.

"If these two obsessions want to be completed, the first thing is to win the battle of Yiling, and then capture Jingzhou. Let Shu Han return to its full glory!"

Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair, although a little too idealistic, is strategically the only way to Sanxing Han Dynasty.

Yang Yun sat alone in the tent and kept thinking hard.

"Let's calculate how many troops I have...... There are 80,000 elites, people and auxiliary soldiers who escort grain and grass, about 100,000. According to the usual practice, if these people are also counted, they will have nearly 200,000 troops under their command! According to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's method of exaggerating their troops, they can claim to have 700,000 troops to the outside world!"

In the past, when Yuan Shao was in the battle of Guandu, he claimed to be a million-strong army that went south, but was defeated by Cao Cao's 50,000 elites. When Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou, he claimed to have an army of 800,000 advancing by land and water. As a result, he was defeated by Zhou Yu's 50,000 sailors.

If the original timeline is counted, Liu Bei's "720,000 army" will be annihilated by Lu Xun's tens of thousands of elites in a short time......

It seems that this kind of behavior of exaggerating one's own strength and claiming to have hundreds of thousands of troops going out to fight does not seem to have a good end! It is like a person who says that after this battle, he will go home and get married.

Yang Yun absorbed the memories left by the Cause and Effect Divine Tree, and had some understanding of the situation in this world. In this world, due to the existence of innate generals, these powerful generals are often used as thousands, killing people like mowing grass. In the eyes of these generals, ordinary soldiers are not even as good as weeds.

When ordinary people go to the battlefield, they are completely making up the numbers and being killed.

Only elite centaurs who have been trained and have reached the introductory three realms or the acquired realm can resist the monstrous aura of the innate generals.

For example, of the 200,000 people under Liu Bei's command, more than 100,000 are untrained and cultivated, and they can only serve as auxiliaries to escort grain and grass.

There are only 80,000 elites who can really go to the battlefield. Among the 80,000 elites, most of the 800 white-eared elite soldiers led by Liu Bei and the 500 archers under Huang Zhong have reached the acquired realm, and they have the strength to besiege and kill the innate generals after forming a battle array.

"Huang Quan led 20,000 elite soldiers to garrison Jiangbei...... Zhang Nan led 10,000 elites to besiege Yidao City, and the remaining 50,000 troops were stationed in this mountain road, which was blocked by Lu Xun's camp in Yiting!"

And Lu Xun's troops, known as 200,000 to the outside world, are actually about 50,000 or 60,000 elites who can go into battle. The difference in strength between Shu Han and Eastern Wu is not too big!"

As for the battle of Yiling that was handed down in later generations, it is said that Eastern Wu won more with less...... This is all blamed on Liu Bei's fetish for Cao Mengde, and when he went out, he boasted that he had an army of 700,000.

If it is a big victory, it is fine, once defeated by the enemy, this defeat of 700,000 troops will become a record that others boast about for a lifetime.

After calculating the difference in strength between the two sides, Yang Yun showed a wry smile on his face, the difference in strength is not much, and the number of generals is not as good as that of Eastern Wu, if you want to defeat Lu Xun in the Battle of Yiling, the pressure is great.

After staying in the camp for a long time, Yang Yun called the herald and asked him to beat the drum of the generals. began to convene the civil and military generals under the tent.

The dull sound of drums sounded in the barracks, and after hearing the drums of the generals, all the generals began to rush in the direction of the main camp. Among them are the forward generals Wu Ban and Feng Xi, as well as the rear general Huang Zhong, who has just recovered and has not rested for too long, Ma Liang in the service, and Chen Dao in the middle guard.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's sons Guan Xing and Zhang Bao. Naval Governor Chen Shi, General Liao Hua, Fu Tong and others.

These people are the main generals of Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition.

Just looking at this lineup, I feel that it can't be compared with Lu Xun, Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang, Han Dang, Xu Sheng, Bu Qi, and Zhou Tai of Soochow.

Before the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs arrived, Yang Yun tidied up his armor and walked to the bronze mirror, in the bronze mirror, he still had his original appearance, but his sideburns seemed to be a little gray. It feels like it's dozens of years older.

"I am still the same body, but in the eyes of others, I am Liu Xuande who has been fighting in this world for decades, and the power of cause and effect is really mysterious!"

Yang Yun touched his sideburns, this gray hair is purely an illusion, as long as he leaves this world, he will not be affected by Liu Bei's cause and effect and return to his original state.

"Your Majesty, the generals have arrived!" came the voice of the attendants at the door.

"Come in!"

Yang Yun turned around and sat on the main seat, his sleeves shook, and he knelt on the soft seat, and then the big tent was opened, and a group of civil and military officers entered in two columns one after another. On the left is a general in armor, led by Huang Zhong.

On the right is a civilian staff headed by Ma Liang.
