Chapter 343: I Can't Say It
According to the plan, Ma Teng has completely taken away the entire Guanzhong, and with the help of Pang Tong, the Xiliang Army has also further improved the defense system of Luoyang and Tiger Pass, in the case of the Xiliang Army being prepared, even if Cao Cao's 100,000 elites are directed at Guanzhong, even if Ma Teng is defeated by Cao Cao, he can delay for at least two years.
With these two years, Zhuge Liang is sure to take the entire Sichuan and Shu for the lord.
Previously, because of the name of benevolence and righteousness of the lord, Zhuge Liang was not good at taking the lead in mobilizing troops to Sichuan and Shu. But now, Liu Zhang made the first move, and Uncle Liu Huang took advantage of the situation to seize Sichuan and Shu, so no one can say that he is unkind and unjust.
However, the lord Uncle Liu Huang wanted to fight Cao Cao first, so as to avoid Liu Zhang's edge.
This is not in line with the previously discussed plan, nor does it conform to the interests of Uncle Liu Huang!
"If the lord insists on avoiding Liu Zhang's edge and goes north to fight against Cao Cao, then the foundation of Hanzhong, which we have so hard won, will be destroyed in the blink of an eye. Minister, I beg the lord to think twice! In the face of Uncle Liu Huang's insistence, Li Yan advised again.
Similar exhortations, in the past few days of military discussions, Li Yan has persuaded Uncle Liu Huang many times.
However, his exhortation does not seem to be effective for the lord.
Of course, Kong Ming's military adviser also advised, but the lord also insisted on his own opinion.
"Lord, what Brother Zhengfang said is good!" Seeing that the lord seemed to be still insisting on his opinion, Li Yan also continued to advise.
"Let's put aside Liu Zhang's threat first, and talk about sending troops to fight Cao Cao."
"If my Hanzhong sends troops to fight against Cao Cao, then there are only two options for sending troops."
"One is to fight side by side with the Xiliang Army."
"Our Hanzhong army sent troops to Guanzhong along the Baochuan Road, and together with the Xiliang Army, they held Luoyang and Tiger Prison Pass. However, if we really send troops to Guanzhong to join forces with Ma Teng to fight against Cao, we can't say that we just fell for Cao Cao's tricks. ”
"More than 100,000 troops gathered in Luoyang, and the pressure on grain and grass is very great."
"Xiliang has not been a grain-producing area since ancient times; After years of war, Guanzhong has long been empty, and now it is not a grain-producing area; Now I only rely on the grain stored in my Hanzhong to supply more than 100,000 troops, but don't worry. ”
However, the plank road in the slope is more than 700 miles, the plank road is steep, and Chang'an to Luoyang is five or six hundred miles, 10,000 stone grain and grass are transported from Hanzhong to Luoyang, only afraid that there is no one in ten. At that time, even if I have millions of stones in my Han to store grain, I am afraid that it will not be able to support the use of the battle of Guanzhong for one season! There is not enough food and grass, so what can we do to resist Cao Cao's strategy? ”
"Besides, once the battle situation in Guanzhong is chaotic, our army will not even have a chance of retreating to Hanzhong!"
Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, this is not what Li Bai said later.
Isn't there a good saying?
Burn down the plank road for 700 miles, and there is no hole in Shu!
Another explanation for this sentence is that once the plank road of the Baochuan Road (Meridian Road, etc.) is burned (or destroyed), the road from Guanzhong to Shuzhong will be almost cut off. This means that once the battle situation in Guanzhong is unfavorable and Cao Cao sends people to destroy the plank road, the nearly 100,000 Hanzhong troops who are sent to Guanzhong will have no return!
In the previous life, during the Shu Han Dynasty, the original lord of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains sent troops from Qishan six times, and even rejected Wei Yan's proposal to send troops from the Meridian Valley to Guanzhong, that is, he was worried about the safety of the plank road of the Meridian Valley and the Baochuan Road, which was also a problem related to the back road of hundreds of thousands of troops.
……
"The second is the back road to raid Cao Cao."
"Cao Cao wants to seize Guanzhong, which is nothing more than two offensive routes, take the Tiger Prison Pass, or send troops from Wancheng to attack Luoyang."
"At that time, we will send troops from Hanzhong, walk on Yong, pass through Zhuyang Pass, and then attack Wancheng and copy Cao Cao's back road."
"This seems to be a safe matter, but in fact it is also full of crises."
"From Hanzhong to Shangyong, there are nearly 800 miles of mountain roads in the middle, and there is only one Dingyuan County in between. The army traveled 800 miles, and there were no supplies along the way, and when they got out of the mountain road and reached Shangyong, they needed to rest. ”
"Moreover, from Shangyong through Zhuyang Pass and then to Wancheng, this is also a distance of nearly 1,000 miles."
"Adding up to a distance of 1,800 miles, not to mention the logistical pressure, that is, how much combat power can the army have left after walking this 1,800 miles? I'm afraid that I won't be going to give Cao Jun's head when the time comes, right? ”
"What's more, my Hanzhong army is out of Zhuyang Pass, and the first thing to bear the brunt is Xiangyang, what will Liu Jingzhou think?"
"The lord should have heard of the allusion of the false Dao Cutting Down."
"Even if my Hanzhong army is not going to Jingxiang, it's hard to guarantee that Liu Jingzhou won't be worried, right?"
"This will ruin our hard-won alliance with Jing Xiang!"
"Of course, there is the most important point: our army went out to fight against Cao Cao, and Hanzhong must be empty; Liu Zhang has long coveted Hanzhong, how can he let go of such a golden opportunity? The lord preaches benevolence and righteousness to Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang may not be benevolent and righteous to the lord! ”
After saying so much in one breath, Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then looked at Uncle Liu intently.
To tell the truth, if Uncle Liu still insisted on his own opinion and sent troops to fight against Cao Cao first, although he Zhuge Kongming would be a little disappointed, he would still do his best to assist him, just like the former director Lao Ren was resentful in his previous life.
Even if you are a traverser, as a courtier, if you can't abide by the way of the courtier, the end will not be too wonderful!
As for the difficult problems he faced in his analysis, although he exaggerated them, they were not unsolvable.
If you choose to fight against Cao Cao, whether it is to send troops to Guanzhong to join forces with the Xiliang Army, or to take the back road of Zhuyang Pass to copy Cao Cao, although there are many difficulties, but with the assistance of his Zhuge military division, these are not too big problems.
These Xu difficulties are not more difficult than the original master of the previous life, right?!
Of course, although he was mentally prepared to send troops to fight against Cao Cao first, Zhuge Liang was more inclined to kill Liu Zhang first.
However, how to choose, this is up to the lord Uncle Liu Huang to take the idea.
As a courtier, you can make suggestions to the lord, you can advise the lord on the wrong choice, but you can't "help" the monarch to get ideas, that is a taboo as a courtier!
……
Listening to Zhuge Kongming's crackling analysis, Liu Bei was also a little hesitant and a little difficult to decide.
As a monarch who has dominated the world for more than ten years, Liu Bei naturally knows how to choose now, which is the most beneficial for him.
However, the word benevolence and righteousness are the burden of his life!
At the beginning, it was a bit unjustifiable to seize the foothold in Hanzhong, but at least it can be explained by the term "Liu Jiyu's ally and brother", and if he fights with Liu Jiyu now, wouldn't he be immediately slapped in the face?
Even if he is the first to move the army, the world will only say that he Liu Bei has long coveted Sichuan and Shu.
It is true that he Liu Bei is indeed greedy for Sichuan Shu.
However, if he Liu Bei wants to take Sichuan and Shu, he must be upright and not give the world an excuse to make irresponsible remarks!
Now, Liu Zhang has just gathered troops at Jianmen Pass, and he Liu Bei has led the army to the top, doesn't this leave a bad impression that "he Liu Bei has long been plotting against Sichuan and Shu"?
Therefore, in Liu Bei's expectations, it is best to let Liu Zhang run rampant for a period of time, and even let the Shu army attack the border of Hanzhong, then it will be the best, and when the time comes, he Liu Bei's counterattack will be justified, and even take advantage of the situation to seize Sichuan and Shu, no one will have anything to say.
Hanzhong sent troops to fight against Cao Cao, just to create an opportunity for Liu Zhang to invade Hanzhong!
It's just that as a monarch with the name of benevolence, he can't declare this idea. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
