"Ziang, there's no need, hundreds of thousands of troops, you can push Yanzhou flat out of the past", Guo Jia felt that Liu Yi valued Cao Cao a little too much, you must know that the situation in Qingzhou is not something that anyone can copy, and one hundred thousand troops are picked out of the million Yellow Turban Army. And then there are the elite of the white robe, which state can be so strong in combat.

Jia Xu also turned his head to look at Liu Yi, he had never seen Liu Yi so serious, it seemed that some of the battles this time were fought.

"Although Cao Cao doesn't have many troops, it can't be easily exterminated, in order to prevent foolproof, let's go", Liu Yi said helplessly, how could Boss Cao be so easy to fight, just like that, Liu Yi felt that it was not enough, it would be best to contact the army in Xuzhou again, and let Cao Cao enter Xuzhou when the time came.

"Okay, then let's take a look", Guo Jia saw that Liu Yi attached so much importance to Cao Cao, and he no longer persuaded him, anyway, now Qingzhou is very stable next to him, and he is good at Xuzhou, Yuan Shao in the north is still in a stalemate with Gongsun Zhan, and it is not impossible for the whole army to attack Cao Cao, take Yanzhou down in one fell swoop, and then slowly figure it out.

Zhuge Liang listened to their discussion without saying a word, he is still a little young now, although Zhuge Liang knows that talent is one thing, but he just came here, and he didn't plan to show his edge, a child, it is better to study hard.

"Kong Ming, let's go and take a look", Liu Yi didn't forget Zhuge Liang in the back, of course, the more people who formed a group to fight Boss Cao, the better, many people considered together, and strived to have no loopholes, and did something Boss Cao.

"Can I go too?" , Zhuge Liang was obviously a little stunned, he had just come here, and no one was familiar with it, so why did he let Liu Yi pull him into the decision-making circle.

This script, it's not right.

"Let's go and see, this kind of war will be indispensable in the future, accumulate more experience", Liu Yi said with a smile.

Although in Liu Yi's view, Zhuge Liang in the future may be sitting in the camp to mobilize the Quartet, and then Guo Jia will go out to fight as a military advisor, but Zhuge Liang must also be familiar with the war, and it is always right to learn a little more. However, Zhuge Liang's war talent is not weak.

Liu Yi remembered the ace army in Zhuge Liang's hands in the romance. It seems to be called the Wudang Flying Army, which is very distinctive, full of characteristics, in terms of the nature of the troops, to give a not very appropriate analogy, similar to the French Foreign Legion, which is a force that uses the local minority military resources to establish the Shu Han strong force Wudang Flying Army. This army and Liu Bei's traditional trump card army, the White Ear Soldiers, and the Xiliang Ma Clan's army were on top of each other, and they were bright for a while. As I said before, these three big bosses in the Three Kingdoms often use mercenaries, and the Shu Han regime originally used the Wuling barbarian mercenaries of the descendants of the three seedlings, and they showed their skills in the war against Wu, and even the fierce general Gan Ning died at the hands of these barbarians. In the war of the seven captures of Meng Shou -- of course, it was just a symbol -- Zhuge Liang fully realized the heroic and good fighting of the ethnic minorities in Nanzhong. This is not surprising, historically, the farming peoples generally lacked the spirit of perseverance, while the nomadic and fishing and hunting peoples were often brave and ruthless, with the end of the South-China War and the restoration of peace, these fierce warriors fell into unemployment, and leaving such a force in the south is undoubtedly a great social destabilizing factor. Looking at the 228 incident that occurred in Taiwan after the Anti-Japanese War, the people who took the lead in making trouble were members of the Taiwanese Takasago Army who were demobilized from the former Japanese army. For this reason, Zhuge Liang implemented a favorable policy of killing two birds with one stone, that is, to recruit ethnic minority soldiers to join the Shu government army, and the problem of funding was solved by the local heroes. Zhuge Liang thought that Yi was more ruthless, and belonged to the Han Dynasty and became the Yi Han tribe, so as to establish a local army with the nature of razing and razing in the local area, and the local heroes and strong people obtained social status, so they settled in the rule of Shu Han, and sent out golden twilight soldiers, so that the ethnic minorities got benefits and eased the national contradictions. At the same time, these local unemployed soldiers have become government troops, as if they had obtained shares in enterprises, and have become the centripetal force of ethnic minorities. The army it composed was familiar with folklore and less provocative questions. Later, Zhang Wei, Ma Zhong and others suppressed the rebellion, and the Yihan tribe was the main force.

Such benefits naturally cannot be enjoyed exclusively by the locality. At the same time, in order to completely avoid the resurgence of the southern separatist forces, under the auspices of Zhuge Liang, Shu did not hesitate to spend money to move south to the middle of the force, and more than 10,000 Qingqiang families were in Shu. This is the origin of the Wudang Flying Army. After the members of this army arrived in Shu County, they became military households of Shu State, and they made a living as soldiers for Shu State for generations and became professional soldiers. When Chengdu and the prosperity of Nanzhong are not the same, the Yi people in Nanzhong are heavy warriors, so every time there is a vacancy, the Nanren will run and tell, stabbing blood enthusiastically, and be proud of it. It is reminiscent of the scene of the British army recruiting mercenaries from the Gurkha battalion in Nepal. Of course, at that time, the population in the south was not large, with 20,000 households in Luke County, 10,000 households in Jianning County, 8,000 households in Zhuti County, and 40,000 households in Xinggu County.

As for what kind of image Wudang Feijun is, Liu Yi shuddered when he thought of the pictures on the Internet. The equipment is excessive, they are all wearing iron armor and can climb mountains and mountains. He is good at using crossbows and poisoned arrows, and is especially good at defensive combat. Because it is a family migration, it is customary to dance with the barbarian aunt, and all the group cards are covered with hair and roaring. In the seven captures of Meng Shu, the elite soldiers who had not yet been born were assigned to the local hero, Yang Feng, the owner of Yinye Cave, although it is nonsense, but the general image is not wrong. The stationing of such a strangely dressed army with unique customs into Shudu must have brought a lot of cultural conflicts, at least the vast number of scholars must be curious and worried. In order to be able to manage these fierce warriors well, Shu Han appointed the strict Wei general, and the Brazilian Wang Ping as the first commander of the legion. Wang Ping, with an average number of words, is less than ten literate, shares weal and woe with the soldiers, but is strict by nature, harsh in training, and rarely speaks. Such a general, who can convince the public, but also is stern and a little gloomy, is really a suitable candidate for the commander of the mercenary. The flying army is worthy of the prestige of the warriors of Nanzhong, brave and good at fighting, and has outstanding performances in all wars of Shu Han.

When he came out of Qishan, he was assigned to Ma Tan's army to open his jaw in the street pavilion - probably because Ma Tan was familiar with the situation in Nanzhong, and hoped that he could give full play to the characteristics of this army. --Because of Ma Tan's mistake and the whole army was defeated, it was the flying army led by Wang Ping who was interrupted, fighting to the death, beating drums on the other hand to confuse the enemy, successfully covering the other divisions to withdraw from the battlefield, and retreating with his whole body, which was a small test of edge. In the ninth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Liang's fourth northern expedition ordered Wang Ping to encircle the south of Tun with his deputy division, and designed to encircle Sima Yi in Qishan. Sima Yi couldn't resist it, so he simply used the trick of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and sent Zhang Jaw to lead the main army to attack Wang Ping's lone army. Although Wang Ping's Wudang Flying Army was only 3,000 at that time, only one-twentieth of the Wei army, these Gurkha battalion-style warriors swore to the death, resisted desperately, arrows were like flying locusts, and they couldn't attack with open jaws, but Sima Yi's camp had been broken by Zhuge Liang's army. The Wei army retreated, but the Wudang Fei Army gave full play to the characteristics of the mountain corps, rushed out of the camp, counterattacked the Wei army's rearguard, and attacked before and after, and the Wei army was defeated, losing thousands of armor heads. When Shu was able to fight against Sima Yi for the first time, he achieved a considerable advantage, and the Fei army fought to the death against Cao Wei's fierce general Zhang Jaw's army, which was a great achievement. Due to the characteristics of mountain warfare, the Wudang Flying Army was often used to crusade against rebellious ethnic minorities. When Han Jia rebelled, Shu Han dispatched the favored Su guards to go to the expedition instead of him, and the equipment was not excellent, but this famous general with a good temperament died at the hands of the minority rebels, and it was still the Wudang Fei Army who was transferred back from the front line to control the situation. That should be the second or third generation of the flying army, the end of the Wudang flying army is also extremely tragic, that is the eighth time in Jiang Wei's nine expeditions to the Central Plains, in order to cover the retreat of the commander, 5000 flying troops and the last commander Zhang Wei fought the last battle, the whole army was killed, and the history books recorded that the enemy was killed twice. Later, although there was still the name of the Flying Army, and it was performed in battles such as the defense of Yangping Pass, the Wudang Flying Army as a whole no longer existed.

Liu Yi also had to sigh, the various types of troops in the Three Kingdoms are strange, and no one can judge a high ground, but the field army like the Wudang Flying Army is sometimes really useful, especially those armies composed of ethnic minorities, which are really strong.

It's a pity that Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was ruined, and Shu Han has survived since then, but Liu Yi thinks that Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition also has his considerations.

Li Bai wrote a poem called "Shu Dao Difficulty", I don't know if you have ever understood it? This poem fully illustrates the ups and downs of the Shu Road and how difficult it is to walk. In fact, the traffic conditions in ancient times were too backward, coupled with the winding roads of Shu Road, it took a lot of effort to take this road, and it was very difficult for several people to walk together, not to mention the millions of troops in ancient times. So why did Zhuge Liang keep going on the Northern Expedition? Since Shu Road is not easy to walk, why not fight Wu first? Although Zhuge Liang only started the Northern Expedition after Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang had already planned the Northern Expedition before. Before, Zhuge Liang clearly analyzed the route of the march to Liu Bei, first take Jingzhou and Yizhou, and then divide the troops into two roads, and then you can take the world. But at this juncture, Jingzhou was also lost, Liu Bei also died, and Shu instantly weakened a lot. In this way, the foundation laid by Shu is gone, Wei and Wu have always coveted the territory of Shu, and now it is difficult to protect themselves, why do they have to go to the Northern Expedition? Originally, the occupation of Jingzhou and Yizhou had been realized in the plan, and then it was one step away from dominating the world, but Guan Yu provoked Dongwu, which made Dongwu betray the alliance. Guan Yu and Liu Bei are sworn brothers again, Guan Yu is not over when he dies, Zhang Fei's subordinates rebelled and killed Zhang Fei and took refuge in Eastern Wu, Liu Bei was angry at this time and lost his mind at this time, and suffered a big loss in the battle of Yiling, and died in the White Emperor City not too much. Why did Zhuge Liang have to go on a northern expedition after Liu Bei's death? That's because in the battle of Yiling, the Shu army was defeated and the army was greatly weakened, Zhuge Liang originally planned to adjust the army to fight again, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Bei died not long after the war, and he couldn't see the day when he would dominate the world. Zhuge Liang took advantage of the first Northern Expedition, and his national strength improved somewhat, but he still couldn't overpower Wei, so why did he want to go on another Northern Expedition? Because of the sudden great change in the Central Plains at that time, he had to do this, the Central Plains region is rich in resources, economically and agriculturally developed, because of the good living conditions, so the Central Plains people are very strong. Look at Shu again, surrounded by mountains, there is little land that can be cultivated, and all the soldiers here have no spirit, if this goes down for a few decades, I am afraid that the people of the Central Plains will not need any strength to destroy Shu by then.

Because of the previous two wars, Zhuge Liang also had confidence in this Northern Expedition, which were the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Guandu. These two wars were victories won when his own number was inferior to the enemy, and he himself was familiar with military affairs, read military books, and had a deep strategy, so he led his own army to want to have a fight with Wei Jun, so he tried his best to carry out the Northern Expedition many times, but finally died of illness. Zhuge Liang's failure is very regrettable, and some people also say that Zhuge Liang is a rigid person, why do you have to go to the Northern Expedition first, why don't you take Jingzhou first and then go to the Northern Expedition? If this happens, won't Longzhong be able to achieve it? Longzhong put it up with Zhuge Liang, did we think of it, would he not have thought of it? It's not that he doesn't want to take Jingzhou, but he doesn't dare to take it. At that time, why was the situation of the Three Kingdoms called Dingli? Either of these three countries could be threatened by the other two. Wu was originally weak, if you go to fight Wu, even if you win, Wu asks for help from Wei, Shu is caught between the two countries, and the final result can be imagined. There is also a possibility that both sides will lose, and no one can take advantage, at this time, Wei will pick up the advantage, and it will be Wei that will unify the whole country. In the case of the Northern Expedition, Sun Quan knew that he couldn't fight Shu, he could watch, he could help if Shu was defeated, the Three Kingdoms would continue to stand, and if Shu succeeded, he would be able to divide the territory equally, and he would not suffer any loss anyway. It was precisely because of Zhuge Liang that he went on the Northern Expedition again and again. In fact, in Liu Yi's view, the failure of the Northern Expedition was not because of the difficulty of Shu Road, nor because Zhuge Liang's fate was bad, but because Zhuge Liang did not teach a person to continue the Northern Expedition. Those who know the Three Kingdoms know that the talents of Wei and Wu have never been broken at all, and they have appeared one after another. Let's take a look at Shu again, and finally have such a person as Feng Xiao Pang Tong, but he died unexpectedly. When Zhuge Liang was there, he still supported the Shu Kingdom, and as soon as he died, the Shu Kingdom was completely left with no one who could lead it. As soon as the pillars fell, the court naturally became chaotic, some wanted to defend, some wanted to attack, and the strongest general Wei Yan was also killed at this time. Let's take a look at the people of the Sima family, they relied on their own ability to single-handedly overthrow the Wei State, and as a result, the ideals that the Three Kingdoms did not realize were easily realized by the Sima family. Except for Sima Yi here, his descendants and the generals under him were all cultivated by Sima Yi. Therefore, if you want to achieve a great career, how important it is to have a few talents around you!

Moreover, although Zhuge Liang has excellent scheming and unpredictable ability, because of Ma Tan's defeat, he lost his military heart, coupled with the Northern Expedition for many years, the consumption of materials and troops was huge, which caused Zhuge Liang to completely lose the capital of the counteroffensive. The most important thing is that after Ma Tan lost the street pavilion, Zhuge Liang had no generals around him who could be trusted, so Zhuge Liang had no choice but to give up.

Many people say that Zhuge Liang should not go on the Northern Expedition, but they don't want to think that since Liu Bei was burned by Lu Xun and defeated, Shu has been very weak, Zhuge Liang is just attacking and defending, if Zhuge Liang does not take the initiative to attack Shu at that time, there is a possibility that Shu will be destroyed by Wei at any time! There are still many people who say that Zhuge Liang will not use soldiers, so why is Zhuge Liang panicking all day every time he goes on a northern expedition to Wei? Zhuge Liang fought a very weak Shu State to fight the powerful Wei State has to have nightmares every day, this is not counting the use of soldiers? They have the ability to take the current PLA to fight a war, not to mention fighting with the most powerful United States, even with India, which is about the same strength as China, they will lose! And now some so-called experts are accusing Zhuge Liang of nothing great, and his strategy is also average, you must know that the Three Kingdoms period is known as a period of surplus talent! Zhuge Liang can fight with so many people alone, and everyone else has nothing to do with him, which is already very powerful, if those experts are allowed to travel to the Three Kingdoms, I am afraid that they will be the first to be destroyed! It is also said that Zhuge Liang was careful in the past, can Zhuge Liang be careless? Shu has no capital at all for Zhuge Liang to lose.
