Came to Lu Bu's camp.

Lu Bu, Xu Shu, Han Xin, Li Jing, Yang Lin, etc., were discussing a plan to attack Yizhou.

Yizhou is a vast land and a large population. To the west is Liangzhou, north to Hanzhong, and down is Lü Bu's Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. During this period, the mountains and peaks are stacked, the roads are rugged, and it is difficult to walk, let alone march?

Xu Shu said: "If you want to enter Yizhou, you can only go to Fucheng and Hanzhong." Hanzhong is Cao Cao's territory, with 200,000 troops stationed, far away from Changsha County, and by the time we arrived, Liu Bei had already set up defenses. So... The best route to march is to go straight up the Fushui River and occupy Fucheng first. ”

"I already know that..."

Lu Bu asked people to make a sand table, pointed to the direction of Fucheng, and said: "Fucheng is built near the river, we..." ”

"Newspaper... General Xiang and General Gan arrived. The soldier outside the tent shouted.

"Let them in." Lu Bu raised his head and commanded.

Xiang Yu and Gan Ning walked into the camp tent and saluted Lu Bu: "I've seen the lord." ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Gan Ning.

Gan Ning used to be the general of Huang Zu in Jiangxia County, and was not reused by Huang Zu, and after being recruited by Lu Bu, he was appointed as the governor of the Jiangfang Battalion and the Navy. Although he has not made great contributions, he has always been valued by Lu Bu. After the Battle of Jingjiao, he served as the governor of Jiaozhou.

(Note: The Grand Governor under Lü Bu is equivalent to the assassin of the Han Dynasty, and is in charge of the military and political affairs of a state.) ）

Among the many civil and military forces under Lu Bu, Gan Ning is the most legendary one. He is also the only general who has not made meritorious service, but has been named a feudal official.

And also in control of all the water army!

Everyone couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Lu Bu came back to his senses and said, "General Gan, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Lord."

Gan Ning stepped aside and took a seat.

Xiang Yu glanced at Lu Bu's eyes, his back was a little cold, and explained: "Lord, I..." ”

"You don't have to explain. I have only one request for you. If you encounter such a thing in the future, you must report it first and seek the consent of me and the Military Aircraft Department, otherwise you must not act without authorization. ”

"Yes."

Xiang Yu replied.

After all, he was the most capable general under his command and the vanguard of the conquest of Shu, and Lu Bu was not willing to be punished.

After Xiang Yu retreated to the side.

Lu Bu continued: "Fucheng is built near the river, which is a barrier to the east of Yizhou, and it must be heavily guarded. If we want to defeat him, we need to think of a perfect strategy. ”

"My lord..."

Xu Shu said with a smile: "It's just a Fucheng, what kind of strategy do you use?" Wouldn't it be nice to conquer it directly? ”

"Yes, my lord, leave this task to our first division." Cheng Lian said.

"It should be handed over to our second division!" Wei Xu dragged Cheng Lian and walked to Lu Bu.

"My lord..."

The rest of the generals all looked expectant.

In their opinion, Fucheng is too easy to conquer, and it is simply a free gift. If you miss this opportunity, when Zhuge Liang's hundreds of thousands of troops converge, it will be difficult to make another meritorious service.

Lu Bu glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "I can understand your feelings, but... Do you know the situation in Fucheng? Fucheng to the west and south, about a hundred miles away, there are two large camps. There are 30,000 elites stationed. Outside Fucheng is a huge water village. Although there are not many naval armies, the walled gate is unusually strong, and it is by no means as easy to overcome as you think. ”

"According to the Shadow Inquiry, Liu Bei has long replaced the wooden door with an iron door in order to defend against our artillery. In particular, the water village outside Fucheng and the city gate of Fucheng are extremely strong. Even with artillery, it is difficult to destroy. ”

"What's more, in the west and south, there are still 30,000 elite garrisons, forming a corner with Fucheng. If we attack rashly, we will be flanked.... ”

After listening to Lu Bu's analysis.

Xu Shu still didn't pay much attention to it, and said, "Don't worry, lord. Our army is too strong, and no matter what kind of resistance, it will be in vain. If the lord trusts, let the minister command, and ensure that within two days, Fucheng will be broken and Yizhou will be entered. ”

"Okay."

Lu Bu nodded and handed over the heavy task of attacking Fucheng to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu looked at Cheng Lian and Wei Xu, and ordered: "The first division and the second division, form a vanguard and take the lead in attacking the water village outside Fucheng. After that, Fucheng was besieged by the 1st Division. The second division sent reinforcements to block reinforcements from the southwest. Be sure to clear all obstacles before our army arrives. ”

"No."

Cheng Lian and Wei Xu, as if they had picked up a gold ingot, couldn't close their mouths happily.

The generals of the Second and Third Armies, as well as Hao Meng, the commander of the Independent Brigade of the First Army, were a little disappointed when they saw that the great achievements had been lost. But he didn't dare to question Xu Shu's order.

Cao Xingxin said: "In the end, it is the well-equipped First Army, and any good thing can be occupied." ”

Song Xian is a little nostalgic for the time when he was in command of the First Division. Although there were not many soldiers under his command and they were under the control of Song Xian, they were well-equipped and had sufficient artillery fire, and they captured Fucheng with Gan Ning.

The current attack on Yizhou should have been commanded by him (because of the experience of attacking Fucheng), but because of the poor equipment of the soldiers under his command, he was directly abandoned.

"Xingba."

Lu Bu looked to the right.

Gan Ning walked out and responded: "The end will be." ”

"Are you ready for the two hundred fighting ships and three hundred ships I asked you to prepare?"

Gan Ning replied: "My lord, I am ready. Listen to the call of the lord at any time. ”

"Okay."

Lu Bu said: "You give one hundred of these fighting ships to the first and second divisions, and you will personally lead the team, together with Cheng Lian and Wei Xu, to conquer Fucheng." ”

"No."

Gan Ning replied expressionlessly.

In the hearts of all the generals, Liu Bei's Yizhou is not a barrier that is difficult to overcome, and it does not feel tricky. didn't even regard Liu Bei as a real opponent.

Because in their hearts, they all have a belief, that is, there is no suspense to win! The war with Liu Bei is only their best opportunity to show themselves, and it is a platform for them to make contributions and move towards a brilliant life.

Rested on the shore for two days ...

On the 17th day of March of the eighth year of Jian'an.

Gan Ning, Cheng Lian, and Wei Xu led the first and second divisions to Fucheng.

The rest of the troops followed. With the 1st and 2nd divisions, a distance of a hundred miles.

At this time.

In Chengdu, the capital of Yizhou, Liu Bei conquest of Meng was returned.

Meng Huo was the leader of the Yi people in the south, and was deeply supported by the Yi people and the people in the south of Yizhou. I wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Yizhou and seize Yunnan. was defeated by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei adopted Pang Tong's advice and treated Meng Shu with courtesy.

In the end, he won Meng and returned to obedience.

(Note: Historically, it was Zhuge Liang who captured Meng Shu seven times and pacified Yunnan.) After Meng was surrendered, until Zhuge Liang died, he did not rebel. And became an official of Shu, and in the war with Sun Quan, he repeatedly performed miraculous feats. ）

Meng was surrendered and returned to Chengdu with Liu Bei.
