Chapter Eighty-Four: Attacking the Seven Counties
"According to the news from Jingzhou Xizuo... Judging from the actions of the Jingzhou Army in Nanxiang, Liu Biao has indeed made up his mind to withdraw his troops! ”
Compared with Zhang Yong, Peng Yi is undoubtedly much calmer... I guess I guessed the trick.
"Shizi, if you are not mistaken, the land of the seven counties, I am afraid that the bait thrown by Liu Jingsheng and the Jingzhou family will not only count my Hanzhong, but also the Cao family... Xinye Liu Bei, I'm afraid he is also in the plan.
The tripartite forces, no matter who sends troops to the seven counties, will inevitably have to fight with the two families... Losing oneself and exchanging the land of seven counties for the time of Jingzhou to recuperate, Liu Jingsheng was also decisive. ”
"If it is as Yongyan said, Liu Biao is afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty this time."
After Peng Yi's click, Zhang Yong also understood.
Although he was slightly surprised by Liu Biao's decisiveness in general with Peng Yi, he was slightly surprised by this plan... Zhang Yong still smiled disdainfully and was not optimistic.
Seven counties, there is no longer a county.
Ling Li Zhi was dizzy, and in the face of the ownerless seven counties, most of the princes in the world would not be able to hold back the greed in their hearts.
But Cao and Liu... Obviously not on this list.
Cao Cao is in the north, with millions of soldiers, and his strategists are like rain, and he doesn't know how many talented people are at the top, even Peng Yi can still see it thoroughly, not to mention Xun Wenruo, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu... These people.
In the face of the general trend of southward movement, it is natural that there will be no action because of only seven counties.
As for Liu Bei, if it was said that before, the two Zhang and the others were instigated, and they would inevitably have to fight hard, but now... Wolong is on the side, the thirteen states in the chess palm, and Jingzhou is in sight, how can he lose a big one because of a small loss, and provoke Liu Jingsheng's suspicion for the seven counties?
"What does the prince mean is that both Cao and Liu will stand still...?"
Hearing Zhang Yong's words, Peng Yi subconsciously frowned and asked with a little doubt.
It is the land of seven counties, located in the west of Nanyang, the terrain is high, no matter which family takes the seven counties, they are bound to take the lead in the future struggle, how can the Cao and Liu families not see through!?
"Eternal words! Don't underestimate the world! Cao Cao and Liu Bei are all immortal heroes, with the heart of the world, and the land of seven counties... In their eyes, at best, it is only a corner, how can it be because of Liu Jingsheng's plan that can't be put on the table... Self-defeating. ”
"The meaning of the son of the world is always clear! Yongyan did not mean to despise it! It's just that... Regardless of Cao Cao, just say that Liu Bei, if he takes seven counties, like a tiger with wings, if he dies in the future, he will definitely have a lot of help when he goes south to Jingzhou..."
For Cao Cao and Cao's family, he will always be on guard for twelve points in his heart, after all, Cao Cao started his family and can have today's scenery, completely standing on the corpses of the princes, Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Tao Qian, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Xiliang princes... The prestige accumulated on the sea of blood and bones, on ambition and courage... He didn't think anyone could do it.
But... This Liu Bei, who has been pouring for more than ten years, in addition to mixing a name of benevolence and righteousness, has been defeated repeatedly, from Xuzhou to Yuzhou... Along the way, he had the business of being an overlord with 100,000 troops, but in the end, he was not defeated in the hands of Cao Cao?
And judging from the recent news from the direction of Xinye, Liu Bei has been expanding his army since he took Wancheng... The expansion of the army has almost reached the point of exhaustive military force, and the seven counties ......
"Yongyan, don't underestimate Liu Bei's forbearance! Cao Cao now occupies half of the country, and has gradually become arrogant. But... Liu Bei is different, in the face of Cao Cao, Liu Bei has been defeated countless times, but because of this, Liu Bei will know more about how to forbear, how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, how to distinguish the general trend, in a sense... Liu Bei is even more terrifying than Cao Cao. ”
"After today, I want you to remember a name!"
Cao Cao... Although domineering, pedestrians have their own rules for doing things well, and they will never flaunt themselves in the name of benevolence and righteousness.
But Liu Bei... Although there is a name for benevolence and righteousness, it is difficult for it to be benevolent and righteous.
This point, in Zhang Yong's heart, is even more fearful.
"Please also make it clear to the prince!"
Looking at Zhang Yong's solemn appearance, Peng Yi was also much more solemn, waved his long sleeves, and saluted respectfully.
"This person's surname is Zhuge again, a single name is a bright character, the word Kong Ming, the number Wolong, there is a talent through the heaven and latitude, the talent of Zhang Liang is left, and now he is added as Liu Bei's military division, if I expect it to be good, when Cao Cao raised troops to go south, it is the time when this Zhuge Kongming's name spreads to the world, in the future... If you meet this person, you should be cautious and cautious. ”
As the darling of this era, Liu Bei is already full of monstrous luck, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun... Coupled with Chen Dao, who was behind Liu Bei, in terms of force alone, it was definitely the configuration of the Heavenly King Regiment, and now with Zhuge Liang's help, it was a dragon with eyes and a tiger with wings, and a proper configuration of the Divine Group.
At least in Zhang Yong's heart, if Liu Beixi takes Hanzhong and stands, in the early stage... In addition to filling it with human lives with the call of the Heavenly Master, otherwise... Hanzhong can't resist today's Liu Bei at all.
"Yongyan has written it down! Please rest assured! ”
At this moment, Peng Yi has a strong interest in the unfamiliar name of Zhuge Liang in his heart, and with the arrogance in his own family, Zhuge Liang can still get such a high evaluation, maybe he is really a great talent who has not shown his head.
Of course... This person may also be the biggest obstacle to Hanzhong's theft of Jingzhou.
"Yongyan, herald! If Cao Liu doesn't take it, then I will take the land of the seven counties.
Ordered Yang Ang to lead an army of 4,000 to defend the east camp of Fenshui, Shen Tan and Shenyi to garrison Fangling and Changyi, I was the main general, Wei Yan was the deputy general, Er was the military division, and Liao Hua, Ma Zhong, Wang Ping led the army of 5,000 to detour to Xixian, first take Wudang, and then seek six counties. ”
Turning to look at the map hanging high behind him, Zhang Yong's eyes flashed and he made a decision.
"No... Yongyan will arrange it! ”
"Wait... One more thing! How is Huo Du now! Willing to surrender? ”
Looking at the back of Peng Yi turning to leave, Zhang Yong was slightly stunned, as if he remembered something, and then stopped Peng Yi.
"Huo Duk?
According to the orders of the prince, among the soldiers in the army, many Huo Du's villagers took turns to persuade him, and Huo Du's attitude has obviously loosened in the past two days, but if you want to let him surrender, I am afraid that there is still an opportunity. ”
"Good! Continue to increase the offensive, no matter what... I also want Huo Du to return to Hanzhong! ”
For Zhang Yong, Huo Du himself can only be regarded as a temporary goal, and Zhang Yong's ultimate goal... It is Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao, who has this one person, and he should be able to shepherd one side.
Shinno.
At the same time that Zhang Yong dispatched troops to Xixian, Liu Bei, who was far away in Xinye, naturally also noticed the abnormal movement of the Jingzhou army in the seven western counties.
"Big brother, now that the Jingzhou army in the seven counties has been withdrawn, these seven counties have become a borderless land, and this important place should be able to store tens of thousands of elites, and my brother is willing to lead three thousand troops to capture the seven counties, and I hope that the eldest brother will allow it!"
In General Zuo's Mansion, Zhang Fei's expression was slightly excited, and he pleaded with Liu Bei, who convened everyone's deliberations, and the small General Zuo's Mansion seemed to be trembling slightly because of Zhang Fei's voice.
"The last general is also willing to go to war with the three generals, and I ask the lord to agree!"
"My lord! Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again! ”
"Please also ask the lord to make a quick decision, once Cao Jun has a move, I am afraid that I will miss the opportunity!"
......
Zhang Fei's words seemed to open the outlet for Liu Bei's suppressed emotions for several years, and there was an uproar in the small mansion in an instant, of course... Except for an elegant man with a lupine scarf.
has been suppressed for several years, in the face of the blank seven counties, Liu Bei is indeed a little excited in his heart, although Jingzhou is good, after all, it is not in his hands, but these seven counties are different, with Xinye's current strength... It doesn't take much effort to eat the seven counties.
"What does Yun Chang think?"
Out of the habit he had developed over the years, Liu Bei still cautiously looked at Guan Yu, who was sitting at the top of the left.
For a long time, it may have become a kind of subconscious.
For a long time before Xu Shu appeared... Guan Yu not only plays the number one general under Liu Bei, but even serves as a military advisor.
"Brother thinks... When taking! These days, more and more displaced people have flowed into Shinno City, and Shinno Castle has long been overwhelmed... Although Wancheng is good, it is lonely and cannot be defended for a long time. If you get seven counties, our army will have to rely on, and at that time, in the face of Cao's army, you can attack and retreat, and you can have the power to protect yourself, and you also ask your brother to approve Yide's wish. ”
Guan Yu's words undoubtedly gave Liu Bei some confidence, but when Liu Bei's gaze swept over Zhuge Liang, his expression couldn't help but pause slightly.
"Does Kong Ming have a high opinion?"
With Liu Bei's words, the eyes in the hall swept towards Zhuge Liang, some admired, some indifferent... There are also those who are disdainful.
What everyone admits is that Zhuge Liang is indeed a good hand in internal affairs, from the people's livelihood, official governance, taxation... Outstanding in every way.
But in the military, I don't know if I am not good at this, or I am afraid of Guan Zhang, and I rarely see it amazing.
Between the two, there can be a world of difference.
"My lord! Ryo thought... Seven counties are not advisable! ”
"Not only that, but the lord also needs to enter Wancheng at this moment and make a posture of defending the Cao army to the death, otherwise... Catastrophe is not far off. ”
Compared with Guan Zhang's words, Zhuge Liang's words were like a thunderbolt that exploded in General Zuo's mansion, even if it was Liu Bei... I was also stunned.
It may not be true, but it is always amazing.
"Why did Kong Ming say this! Where does the disaster come from? Please also ask Kong Ming to solve your doubts! ”
If it weren't for the fact that he knew more about Zhuge Liang and knew that Zhuge Liang was by no means a targeted person, if he was replaced by another person, Liu Bei would have felt that he would have been thrown out of the way.
"Woe is not in the north! And in the south! ”
Looking at the fierce generals on the spot, Zhuge Liang suddenly felt that he still had to show the gap in IQ in a timely manner, otherwise... How will you take charge of the army in the future? How to help the lord divide the world and revive the Han family.
His gaze faintly swept over Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and there were bursts of light.
Compared with Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi, Guan Zhang is undoubtedly much more difficult to surrender.
It seems that after this incident, it is indeed necessary to use your brains to solve the current dilemma.
