Chapter 203: Seeking Shu
Ma Yun thinks it is feasible for Ma Guangmeng's eastern front and central line, after all, Zhu Yuan, the marshal of the eastern front, and Ding Sijin, the marshal of the central line, are both sitting in front of him, and they must follow the plan to send troops in person. γLatest chapter reading. However, the western front of Shu Emperor Meng Chang is a bit of a bit in Ma Yun's opinion, and it is very unreliable.
Recently, Meng Chang has been quite unspeakable, and his pen talk has been broken, does this kid think that my education level is not as high as yours, and I am not worthy of talking about poetry and lyrics with you? Judging from the latest information from Shu, Ya Mengchang has been quite busy recently, from the point of view of action, Meng Chang is a bit of a tendency to apply for a world garden city and garden city for Chengdu City, Ya Mengchang is ordering the people of Chengdu to plant hibiscus, and also specially raised a forty-mile-long pedestrian street, planted with hibiscus flowers on both sides (Chengdu is called Rongcheng, the source is here). Of course, a deeper analysis shows that Brother Meng Chang is willing to do this, his favorite little wife, Mrs. Hua Rui, loves hibiscus flowers the most, in order to satisfy and please his little wife, Meng Chang carried out this activity with great interest.
Speaking of Mrs. Hua Rui, Ma Yun did not have a wave in his heart. To be honest, the level has reached the emperor's sake, and Ma Yun's pursuit is not much. As far as the harem is concerned, so far, including the queen, it is only six wives. Seven days a week, Jack Ma can also have a day off. However, when an adult man is fine, it is normal to think about women, but at the level of Ma Yun, he seems to be rich in the world, but in fact, he is subject to a lot of constraints, and the women he can ponder are also very limited. A group of people under his command are all men, and if they want to develop an office romance, they can't do it. The palace maid of the harem? Hey, do you know why rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest? Because it's easy to leak.
Life is full of beauty, and what is lacking is the pair of eyes that find beauty. But Ma Yun has very few opportunities to leave the palace, even if his eyes are dripping, he can't see the beauties outside the palace walls. In this way, during the Five Dynasties period, the only few beauties became the objects that Ma Yun often underestimated. Who are these people? Meng Chang's wife, Mrs. Hua Rui, Zhou Zong's two daughters, and the big and small Zhou queens in history. This big Zhou Hou was originally engaged to Li Yu, but unfortunately, Li Tang was finished, even if Zhou Zong was unhappy, he could only push off the marriage. However, I don't know what's going on, no one came to the door in advance, and now the big week is going to be ten years later, or my sister-in-law is alone! Why? was muttered by Jack Ma.
Although Ma Yun didn't say it explicitly, there were too many people who figured out Ma Yun's thoughts, so she became a leftover girl after the Great Zhou. As a result, there is also a lot of information about Mrs. Flower. For example, what kind of clothes does Xiaohua like to wear, and what kind of meals do she like to eat? And so on and so forth.
Ma Yun thought about the inexplicable pain in his heart, sighed and said, "Hey, brother Meng." Meng Chang may not be able to count on it. You may not know that Aiqing is busy planting hibiscus flowers all day long? If you want him to start the Northern Expedition, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult! β
Everyone laughed too. As high-ranking figures in the Great Chu Empire, some intelligence is not shy about them. They also knew about the rumors that Meng Chang was frightened and closed himself after his defeat last time.
"Your Majesty, what the minister means is to say, how to operate and bring the four states of Longxi into the hands of our Great Chu. Only by getting the four states of Longxi can we really exert pressure on the Guanzhong region of the pseudo-Zhou! Ma Guangmeng said.
Ma Yun does not covet and desire the four states of Longxi, that is fake, this matter is troublesome after all, after all, the four states of Longxi can be regarded as the northwest gate of Meng Chang, will Meng Chang watch the four states of Longxi being taken down by himself? Now, after all, it's not time to turn your face with Meng Chang. Ma Yun's mind turned, and he remembered a person - Zhao Jiza. This buddy is now in the midst of the Shu Kingdom, is it a move to move this chess piece?
"Brother Meng, you, what are your specific plans!" Regarding Ma Guangmeng's urgency to seize the four states of Longxi, Ma Yun also understands it better. Ma Guangmeng is known as the marshal of the Western Front, but his Western Front is very weak compared to Zhu Yuan's Eastern Front and Ding Sijin's Middle Line. There are only a few places in Jinzhou, Fangzhou, and Junzhou. Moreover, he faced the Guanzhong area, which was full of passes that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, which made Ma Guangmeng unable to use his strength. If Longxi is in the hands of Da Chu, then there will be much more room for Ma Guangmeng to play.
"Your Majesty, now the guard of Guanzhong will be Gao Huaide. This person is brave and good at fighting, and he is staring at our western front with a pair of eyes, and his defense against Fengxiang and other places is not strong. The minister thought that he was not using Gao Huaide's layout to attack Fengxiang from Fengzhou in Shu (now Hanzhong City) through Xingyuan Mansion of Shu State! β
Ma Guangmeng actually fought with the idea of borrowing the way. This is really normal, the Shu army is too unbearable, and Meng Chang's idea of getting by in his heart also takes the lead, so it is not easy for Meng Chang to send troops, and it will not play a role in involving the Zhou army and threatening Guanzhong.
"Well, if our army wins, then at least Fengxiang and other places will be captured, and a garrison will be set up in Guanzhong, if my army is defeated, hehehe, I will rely on Longxi." Ma Guangmeng said.
A good "Xiang Zhuang sword dance, intended for Pei Gong", the hearts of everyone attending the meeting moved, it turned out that Ma Guang beat this idea. It's like killing two birds with one stone.
Zhao Pu smiled on the side: "King Xiangxiang, what a way!" Your Majesty, the minister has a new idea. β
"Zhao Aiqing,." Ma Yun was happy, if the activities on the western front were launched, it would always be a problem that the Chu State had to face. Now that Ma Guang is throwing bricks and stones, everyone's thinking seems to have opened up all of a sudden.
"The minister thought that after the army borrowed the road, under the pseudo-Zhou Fengxiang City, they fought a defeated battle and led the Zhou army to pursue. Ours retreated towards Xingyuan Mansion. The resentment in Shu is boiling, the military strength is not strong, if the Zhou army goes south, the four states of Longxi will definitely not be able to hold it. Even Shu Guo himself knows this, and Zhao Jiza said so last time. When the Zhou army captured the four states of Longxi, we set out from Xingyuan Mansion to seize Fengzhou and cut off the return route of the Zhou army. In this way, the four states of Longxi are at your fingertips! Zhao Pu said with a smile. Zhao Pu's meaning is very clear, that is, to create an opportunity for the Zhou army to advance lightly, so that the Zhou army can defeat the Shu army, and the Chu army will take the opportunity to recover Longxi.
Ma Yun nodded, noncommittal to Zhao Pu's idea, in fact, Ma Yun didn't agree with Zhao Pu's idea. Because Zhao Pu has too many assumptions, Fengzhou can be said to be the key to this game of chess, if he can't take Fengzhou in a hurry at that time, what should he do? This Fengzhou is also between the mountains.
"Your Majesty, the minister has another way." Li Xiang said.
"Oh, Li Aiqing, you too." What I want is to brainstorm, and seeing that the big guys have put forward new ideas, Ma Yun is also happy.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that not only can you not defeat the battle under Fengxiang City, but you should win a battle under Fengxiang City, and really play the role of a sneak attack!" Li Xiang said.
Defeating the battle, the drunkard does not mean to drink, but cares about the four states of Longxi. But Li Xiang is determined to win a battle, which is a little incomprehensible. Didn't Li Xiang think about it, if Fengxiang was defeated, but Fengxiang was separated from Jinzhou by the Meridian Valley and Qinling, and it would be very inconvenient to transport grain. Invisibly, it increased the difficulties of the Western Front of Great Chu. But if you take the four states of Longxi, it will be different!
"Your Majesty, whether it is to seize the four states of Longxi by fraud, or whether you rely on the four states of Longxi or not, in fact, it is not the best way. After all, Longxi is still separated from Jinzhou by Xingyuan Mansion. If you don't do it, why don't you take down a piece of Xingyuan Mansion? However, if we take Xingyuan Mansion, I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain the relationship between Shu and our alliance. In this case, why don't we find an opportunity to find out what is the military strength of Shu. If it's really unbearable, why don't we take Shu first? As for the matter of this alliance? Hehe, we can say that Shu has taken refuge in Pseudo-Zhou, and Da Chu has to take action because of security considerations. Li Xiang said.
Ma Guangmeng perked up and said, "Your Majesty, in the past, I didn't take Shu because of the Four-Nation Alliance, but now the situation is different. If the puppet Zhou is defeated in Youzhou, then the situation in the world has been decided, and it is not a big deal to take Shu. If the pseudo-Zhou wins in Youzhou, then for the sake of self-preservation, we should take Shu down. If both the pseudo-Zhou and the Khitan are defeated, we will gain something from the three-way attack Zhou. When the time comes, it will be reasonable to swallow the Shu Kingdom. β
Ma Guangmeng's words are completely robber-minded. The co-author of Shu should be swallowed by the Chu State like this. Ma Guangmeng said this, he was naturally in the consideration of expanding the Western Front. But Jack Ma has to think about it all. To put it mildly, the four countries formed an alliance, and they turned their faces and were killed by themselves. Then the reaction of the Han State and the Khitan must also be considered. Compared with the annexation of Shu, leaking his own attempts, and when the situation is settled, a sneak attack on the Khitan is what Ma Yun is most interested in. After all, Shu is already rotten. There is not much more to say.
"Li Aiqing, what should you do after you win the battle?"
"Everyone has a desire for profit. If we take Fengxiang City. Your Majesty, do you think that person should be in the most anxious? Li Xiang asked with a smile.
"Guo Rong? Oh. Li Aiqing, you mean Meng Chang! β
"Yes, Your Majesty. Originally, we had already agreed that the land of Guanzhong belonged to the Shu Kingdom. However, in Fengxiang, we won, if we win, won't Guanzhong become our Dachu? Therefore, when Meng Chang sees that we are winning, he will definitely send them north, and they must be elite troops, and when the time comes, we will use some means to abolish the Shu army. So. What strength does Shu still have? If there is indeed a chance in Guanzhong, then we will enter the Guanzhong, and if Guanzhong is well guarded. We can fight a defeated battle and bury all the Shu troops in Guanzhong. Then, then it was said that Meng Chang was allied, drove straight in, and seized the Shu Kingdom! β
