There is a debate going on in the Che Cavalry General's Mansion on the theme that after nearly a year of development, the territory of Che Cavalry General Liu Zhang has been stabilized, and the army has also completed training and can carry out combat missions. Obviously, the two states can meet the consumption of 500,000 elite soldiers in a short period of time, and if it takes a long time, it will be a reckless army! Although Yijing is rich, it is impossible to feed such a huge army for a long time, with the increase of the burden on the people, there will definitely be turmoil in Yijing and Jing Prefectures, and the only way now is to expand externally! Of course, Liu Zhang's raising such a huge army is not to defend it, if he is a king of defense, he only needs 200,000 troops to ensure that his position is not shaken, he does not hesitate to consume a lot of grain, grass and money, just to win the world, now, it is time to show his sharp minions again, the only question is where the sword of the general should be wielded!

After everyone had seen the latest information, Liu Zhang motioned for everyone to speak freely.

Mao Jue took the lead and said: "My lord, according to the opinion of my subordinates, now that our army is in full swing, we should go out of Nanyang, break through the Bishui Pass in one fell swoop, and then go straight to Luoyang, defeat Lu Bu, and serve the Son of Heaven to order not to obey!" ”

Zheng Du then said: "The subordinates agree with Mr. Xiaoxian's words, what is the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, as long as the lord saves the lord from danger and recovers Luoyang, the prestige will be as good as the sky, and the lord is my Han clan, and the genealogy is still the uncle of the saint today. "When Liu Zhang stepped into the land of Yizhou, he chanted a few names: Zhang Ren, Wang Lei, and Zheng Du, among these people, Zhang Renning died and did not surrender, Wang Ti committed suicide, Zheng Du did not serve Liu Bei, and the old mountains and forests. In Liu Zhang's view, this is a model of people, so he has been looking for these people, Wang Lei and Mr. Zhang Ren have been met by him, only this Zheng Du, after several searches, has never appeared, Liu Zhang had to comply with the will of heaven and wait for him to appear automatically. Four months ago, Liu Zhang found this long-awaited name in a list of awards, and he was overjoyed that he immediately summoned him to Chengdu to take up an important position, and even made an exception to let him attend this meeting.

Full pet said: "The subordinates have different opinions, from the west of the Bishui Pass, Luoyang terrain is flat, the cavalry gallops, the destructive power is very terrifying, and Luoyang Lu Bu, its department is dominated by the iron cavalry of the state, its backbone has participated in the battle against Xianbei for many years, rich experience, and is not afraid of death, even if it is a new soldier, it is mostly long on horseback and Zhou Haojie, these people are accompanied by horses, well versed in cavalry tactics, once our army steps into Luoyang, there are no mountains and rivers to use, it will be bad Lu Bu fine cavalry attack, heavy casualties. What's more, the high walls of Luoyang City are thick, although Dong Zhuo's fire was damaged a lot, but the main reason is that the houses in the city were seriously destroyed, and the city defense did not have much consumption, and Lu Bu since entering Luoyang, he felt that the strong enemy was looking around, so he sent people to repair the city defense day and night, after two years of construction, Luoyang's defense power is even better than when it was in its heyday, it is difficult to achieve it overnight, once our army is blocked under the city, Lu Bu does not need to fight a decisive battle in our army, as long as the cavalry is sent to rob my grain road, our army will collapse without a fight. Therefore, his subordinates thought that at present, our army should cross the Qinling Mountains, capture the Guanzhong Plain, and kill the national thief Dong Zhuo in the name of the righteousness of the whole lord! ”

Xun You said: "What Berning said is exactly what I want, at the moment Ma Teng and Han Sui are about to perish, once Ma Teng is destroyed, the northwest will be owned by Dong Zhuo, he has no worries, the army turns south, along the Qinling Mountains, our army wants to enter the main pass, it will become very difficult!" ”

Zheng Du said: "It is precisely because of the steepness of the Qinling Mountains and the difficulty of crossing it that our army should first take Luoyang, and then attack Guanzhong from the east and south, so that Dong Zhuo will lose one and the other!" ”

Mao Jue said again: "Yes, as long as our army captures Luoyang, even if Dong Zhuo defeats Ma and Han, he will have to divide his troops on the first line of Hangu Pass, and he can also force him to fight on two fronts!" And the Qiang people in the northwest, and the steppe Xiongnu neighbors, as we all know, whether Qiang people or Xiongnu, are insatiable, blood-devouring and warlike, even if Dong Zhuo defeats Ma and Han, it is difficult to achieve a big thing, but because of Ma and Han's Jedi counterattack, it will lose troops. And Lu Bu, because of the dedication of the emperor in his hands, occupies the name of righteousness, and if he drags it out for a long time, he will become a big trouble. ”

Cai Mao, commander of the Fourth Fleet, said: "At present, Yuan Shu's power is becoming stronger and stronger, and intelligence shows that he has the intention of capturing Jiangdong. Jiangdong Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu and others are outnumbered, difficult to defeat Yuan Shu, once he seizes the opportunity to capture Jiangdong, Yuan Shu can be deployed along the river, layer by layer to resist our army, our army will capture Yangzhou in the future, will suffer heavy casualties. In the opinion of the last general, our army should go down the line to capture the Lujiang River, and then take advantage of Jiangdong's weakness to capture Jiangdong, and then advance to the entire Yangzhou and bring Yangzhou into the hands of the lord. Once Yangzhou falls into the hands of the lord, our army can enter the Central Plains and compete for the world! Cai Mao knew very well that whether it was Lu Bu or Dong Zhuo first, there was no place for the navy, and for a general who was eager to prove himself, he naturally did not want to see this happen, so he proposed to take Yangzhou first. Of course, there is some truth in his words, but at the moment it is a little out of place, so it does not resonate with everyone. Even Liu Zhang, he never took Yuan Shu too seriously, he knew this careerist, no matter how strong he was, as long as he disregarded the people's desire to become the emperor, then he would be the enemy of the heroes, and it would be easy to destroy it when the time came!

Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Huang Quan, Cheng Yu, Yan Yan, Zhang Fei and others all expressed their opinions, either in favor of attacking Luoyang first, or in favor of taking Guanzhong first.

……

Liu Zhang looked at Xun Yu, who had not spoken, and said, "According to Wen Ruo's opinion, where should our army take first?" ”

Xun Yu bowed and said: "My lord, in the opinion of my subordinates, our army should take Guanzhong first, now Dong Zhuo and Ma, Han is about to win the battle, Dong Zhuo defeated Ma and Han, with Dong Zhuojiu town in the northwest, in the Qiang people, the prestige among the Huns, the Qiang people and the Huns will not dare to rebel easily, but because of Dong Zhuo's new victory and fear of its soldiers, coerced by it, together to meet our army, the Qiang people, the Huns are horseback people, the cavalry is not only huge, but also the individual combat power is also above our Han army, once Dong Zhuo gets his help, our army wants to step into the Guanzhong Plain, No problem is more difficult! Therefore, the subordinates thought that our army was destroyed by riding horses and Han Shang, and the Qiang people and Xiongnu were still waiting and seeing, so they attacked Guanzhong with lightning speed and forced Dong Zhuo to return to help, so that the Qiang people and Xiongnu did not dare to make a decision easily. If our army fights Lü Bu first, we will miss this opportunity. Even if our army captures Luoyang, with the risk of Cuihan, Dong Zhuo only needs a small number of soldiers and horses to block the army on the East Road, so that the role of his division of troops will be weakened. There is another point, now the strength of our army is the highest among the princes, and all the heroes in the world are very afraid, if our army captures Luoyang, let me ask, how will the princes react? ”

Xi Zhicai said: "First fear, and then we will inevitably stop the strife and jointly weaken our army!" Otherwise, the lord supports the emperor, has the identity of the clan, calls on the world, and will respond in groups, coupled with the strong military strength of our army, who can cover the front of our army? ”

Guo Jia also said: "Yes, everyone, think about the geographical location of Luoyang, the land of the four battles in Luoyang, there is Dong Zhuo in the west, Yuan Shao in the north, and Cao Cao in the east. Once they join forces to attack, will our army be able to hold Luoyang? ”

Xun Yu said: "I thought that now Luoyang is a steaming steamer, once our army steps in, it will be steamed meat, so I advocate taking Dong Zhuo first." The bitter cold in the northwest is abnormal, and Guanzhong is also empty under Dong Zhuo's ravage, and hundreds of people are displaced, even if they are obtained by our army, it is difficult to obtain provisions, but because of the relief of the people, it is not easy to arouse the vigilance of the princes. Even if the princes were dissatisfied, with Lu Bu blocking Luoyang, it would be difficult for them to threaten the newly acquired land in the northwest, just because Lu Bu categorically would not agree to the crossing of the armies of other princes, otherwise wouldn't it be to lure wolves into the house? ”

Liu Zhang looked at everyone, thought for a moment, and then said: "I order: The Second Field Army and the Third Field Army Corps are on guard to counter the enemy's attack at any time. The 1st Field Regiment immediately began to prepare for battle, and at the same time sent scouts to go deep into Guanzhong to investigate intelligence. The 7th, 12th, and 15th Infantry Divisions, the Tiger Guard Division, the 3rd Cavalry Division, the 1st Independent Cavalry Brigade, and the Division directly under the Regiment of the Fourth Field Army Corps were reorganized and left for Hanzhong seven days later. ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Yes!" ”

Liu Zhang said again: "Wen Ruo, immediately recruit 50,000 people to move with the army." ”

Xun Yu said: "Yes! ”

"As the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, I don't know that the grain and grass accumulated in Hanzhong over the years can be used by the army?"

"The lord, please rest assured, in recent years, there have been grain transported to Hanzhong every year, and in accordance with the will of the lord, Hanzhong began to Tuntian three years ago, the results are very good, and the taxes in Hanzhong have not moved, all locked into the government storage, according to Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Ji (Wei Yan focuses on military affairs, no longer serves as a Taishou, and Hanzhong has an important position, is an important base for attacking Guanzhong, and the post of Taishou is the top priority, Liu Zhang carefully considered the big man Zhang Ji put the big man on the post of Taishou) reported, at present, Hanzhong has a total of 1.4 million stone of grain in the government, It's enough for an army of 300,000 for a year! ”

"Okay, Fengxiao, Zhicai, Gongda, Berning, and Xiaoxian will go out with me and give me advice!"

Guo Jia and the others bowed in unison: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

"Wenruo, Zhongde, Changwen, Yizhou will be handed over to you after I leave!"

Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Chen Qun bowed: "The lord can rest assured, his subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

Liu Zhang nodded, didn't say anything, looking at the world, he can no longer find a person who is virtuous and talented to compare with Xun Yu, with Xun Yu sitting in Chengdu, what else is not to worry about, said: "That's it, everyone go back and prepare!" ”

"Yes!"
