Li Hui listened to Cheng Lian's question, thought about it, and replied thoughtfully: "General Cheng, seriously, I haven't completely guessed what Gongzi thinks.

However, according to my observation, if it is only the three forces of the three sides combined, there is no need for you to personally lead the troops to the battle. Ba Jun under Gongzi's account is too guarded by Zhang Ji, and his ability alone is enough to wipe out all three of them. However, until this time, Zhang Taishou has not made a move, I am afraid that he is worried that once he sends troops to force Pang Xi to be in a hurry.

What if Pang Xi lets go of Jiangguan and takes the initiative to surrender to Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou. Since Gongzi led his troops into Bashu, Liu Biao, who got the news, has been sending his general Wen Ping to lead troops to live outside Jiangguan, seemingly intending to enter Guling County at any time and meddle in Yizhou affairs. If this is the case, the problem of Samba will become even more complicated at that time.

I think that during this period of time, Gongzi may have been secretly sending people to try to subdue Pang Xi. However, considering that Pang Xi and Liu Zhang's family have a deep relationship, I think that Pang Xi will not take the initiative to surrender to Gongzi until Chengdu City is breached, or Liu Zhang does not take the initiative to surrender. ”

"Ahh I see! After listening to this, Cheng Lian believed Li Hui's answer for nine points.

Then, he scolded hatefully: "Liu Biao, who entered the dog, didn't have the courage to go against Cao Cao, but he had the courage to make trouble for his son." No wonder, Gongzi said that when the Son of Heaven escaped from Guanzhong, he sent people to the surrounding princes for help, but as a result, Liu Biao, who was the closest, ignored it. I always thought Childe was just hearsay.

After all, since Liu Biao is a clan relative surnamed Liu, no matter what, he should be the first person to help the Son of Heaven! ”

"Hehehe, General Cheng, you are going to the left. The Son of Heaven resting in the hands of any prince can greatly increase his strength and prestige. However, in this world, only the princes surnamed Liu cannot take the Son of Heaven under his rule.

The reason is actually quite simple. You want to! Everyone is surnamed Liu, the Son of Heaven has arrived in Jingzhou, when the time comes, who will Jingzhou people listen to? If Liu Biao treats the Son of Heaven as a puppet, he, surnamed Liu, will be spurned by the world. If Liu Biao wanted to cede power to the Son of Heaven, would Liu Biao's cronies be willing? Dong Cheng is as stupid as a pig, but he is a person with a lot of ambitions, and he is bound to have a conflict with Liu Biao's subordinates for the sake of power.

Therefore, instead of this, Liu Biao might as well ignore it, and he is leisurely and leisurely in Jingzhou, and he is in charge alone, which is more comfortable. Also, not to mention Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, even Liu Bei, who has always been known for his benevolence, may not have the courage to take the Son of Heaven under his rule. Li Hui explained with a laugh.

"Master Li, according to what you say, are we stationed here and doing nothing? If that's the case, you and I can simply ask Gongzi for his life, and now send troops to attack the three counties of Nanzhong. Hearing this, Cheng Lian asked with some distress.

This time, he finally got a chance to personally lead the troops to the battle, but as a result, he only fought an extremely boring siege battle, which made Zhao Yunjun of Yongning County look down on the wind, which really made Cheng Lian extremely depressed.

Cheng Lian now regrets it a little, at the beginning, he should have led the troops into Ba County first, if not, how could Wei Yan's kid have fought several field battles with the Shu soldiers?

At this time, among the four counties in Nanzhong, except for Yizhou County, which was still under the control of Dong He, there had been a rebellion in the other three counties, and the news reached Jin Jue's army in time, so Cheng Lian would have this proposal.

When Li Hui heard this, he waved his hand again and again, trying to stop him: "General Cheng, you must not have such an idea!" Childe is very human, if he leads the troops to attack the three counties of Nanzhong, I am not worried, but others, including myself, can't. Why? Because there are many mountains and few flat lands in that place in Nanzhong. If you lead an army into the county, most of the barbarian rebels will immediately flee into the mountains.

They will not dare to confront you like the Shu soldiers, and they will send people to harass the army along the way. What's more, there are many places with miasma in that place in Nanzhong. Unless it is a local, otherwise, even if the Shu soldiers go, they will be attacked by miasma. In the end, it is very likely that the soldiers under your command will not be killed by the barbarian rebels, but will mostly die from the miasma. ”

"Ahh That place is so fierce! As soon as Cheng Lian listened to Li Hui's explanation, most of the fire in his heart was immediately extinguished.

Seeing that Cheng Lian took the initiative to give up that unrealistic idea so quickly, Li Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he proposed: "General Cheng, it's not that you don't have nothing to do. Since Zhao Wei is so afraid of you, I think you might as well lead all the troops to the outside of Jiangzhou City, walk around, and use intimidation methods to see if you can cheat some grain and grass out of Jiangzhou City.

I heard that after Liu Yan's death, Zhao Wei has been staying in Jiangzhou City, whether it is in Ba County Taishou or Yongning County, he has been operating for several years, has been secretly accumulating strength and various strategic materials, to overthrow Liu Zhang, just like Liu Zhang did in Chengdu City, he must have hoarded a large amount of food in the city. ”

"Oh, Master Li, this is a good idea, but will Zhao Yun's guy obediently give in?" When Cheng Lian heard this, his eyes immediately shot out two rays of light, and he asked happily.

"General Cheng, I am not completely sure of this idea. However, isn't Childe often said? No matter how good a plan is, if no one carries it out, then no one will ever know whether the plan is good or bad. General, you led your troops to show off outside Jiangzhou City, even if you can't cheat to get food, but you will definitely use this to greatly demoralize the generals and defenders in the city.

Therefore, it is not too important whether you can get food from the city or not. Wouldn't it be better if you could use this to intimidate the other party and get food? Li Hui replied very indifferently.

The source of Li Hui's strategy and idea naturally came from Jin Juezhi's Yaobing operation outside Chengdu last year. At that time, Liu Zhang in Chengdu naturally did not use food to buy peace.

However, Zhao Wei may not be able to.

First, the Banyu barbarians almost succeeded in a sneak attack on Jiangzhou City, killing and wounding countless defenders, and then, Cheng Lian attacked Yongning County, but he didn't dare to go out of the city to fight at all.

This has made the morale of today's Zhao Weijun fall to a low point.

At this time, if Cheng Lian sent troops to intimidate his opponent outside Jiangzhou City, Zhao Wei might really give in.

……

So, Cheng Lian followed Li Hui's suggestion and really led his troops to appear outside Jiangzhou City.
