In the main hall of Xiangyang City, Hua Wenxuan and the generals gathered to discuss the next step.

Zhuge Liang first came out and explained the movements of the princes of the Quartet, "Jiangdong Sun Quan, as we expected, is recruiting troops and wants to go north to Xuzhou, after Guangling left Chen Yuanlong, the successor is incompetent, and the city defense is gradually declining, presumably the Xuzhou area will be a beacon fire again!" ”

Hua Wenxuan touched his newly grown beard and muttered: "Since this is the case, the Cao family will definitely not be able to parry, and we can withdraw and enter Bashu!" ”

Zhuge Liang bowed slightly, "Having said that, but the Shu Road is difficult, if we go up in Jingxiang, when we take the road of Yi Road and Badong, the grain road is long, and the difficulty is not small!" ”

Hua Wenxuan nodded, "What does the military advisor think?" ”

Zhuge Liang pursed his lips, "Now the main energy of the Cao family is still in Hebei, Jiangdong is taking advantage of the situation to go north, Cao Pi is difficult to take care of, from the perspective of Liang, why not take advantage of the situation to go north to enter the line of Wancheng and Luoyang, cut off the connection between Chang'an and Xudu, or completely reverse the situation!" ”

Hua Wenxuan was shocked, and compared this plan on the map in his mind, it is indeed a good strategy to break the situation, so that the general Guanzhong will not be owned by the Cao family, and the Cao family will definitely give priority to saving Xuzhou in order to protect the rear.

It's just that this plan also has a fatal problem, the battle line is too long, the enemy is attacked on both sides, and the first line of Wancheng and Xiangyang is the core position, if it is cut off, Jingzhou will be lost.

However, at this moment, Hua Wenxuan, in the face of this group of civil servants and military generals in the palace, is extremely trusting, not to mention, if it hits Chang'an, Xiliang Ma Chao has received so much favor from himself, it will definitely be quite beneficial.

"Although the strategy of the military advisor is dangerous, it is a good strategy to break the situation!" Hua Wenxuan got up and said, "Since it is such a major matter related to success or failure, let's vote!" ”

Everyone was shocked, what the hell is voting?

Hua Wenxuan told everyone about the constitutional monarchy and parliamentary system again, for everyone who has known that it is the power of the monarch from heaven since childhood, this is like a book from heaven.

"Now that everyone understands! So let's vote on both options! Hua Wenxuan pursed his shriveled lips, "One is to forge ahead with Bashu, and slowly draw it!" One is to go directly north to Wancheng, enter Luoyang, and completely start a war with the Cao family! ”

Hua Wenxuan looked around at the people in the hall and swallowed his saliva, this is probably an unprecedented vote in the entire Three Kingdoms! If you enter Bashu, you will re-follow the old road of Liu Bei's fortune, but if you kill Luoyang, there will be no basis for the future, and if you succeed, your name will go down through the ages, and if you lose, you will go bankrupt.

Hua Wenxuan secretly sighed, "Agree with what Zhuge Military Master said, those who are enterprising in Wancheng, raise your hand!" ”

All the people in the temple looked left and right, and they were all watching.

Xu Shu looked at Zhuge Liang, then at Hua Wenxuan, frowned, the first to raise his right hand, Gan Ning saw it, and hurriedly raised his hand to echo, with these two people starting, the palace suddenly relaxed a lot, and raised their hands one after another, for voting on military affairs, it is already commendable to take this first step!

Hua Wenxuan stood on the stage, secretly counting the votes, there were a total of twelve people in the palace, but it was exactly six to six, how could this be good?

Zhuge Liang looked back, lowered his head and groaned for a while, and arched his hand towards Hua Wenxuan, "If it is a tie, then the power is still in the hands of the lord, and please decide on it!" ”

Hua Wenxuan was suddenly deflated, what to do, in the end, I have to decide, I don't know if I have a phobia of choice?

Hua Wenxuan bit his fingers, frowned and thought for a long time, if he entered Bashu, although there was a past to refer to, the end didn't seem to be good! As soon as Jingzhou was lost, it became a turtle in the urn, and it was impossible to go out of Qishan Mountain, so it was better to fight!

Hua Wenxuan got up and said, "Since that's the case, Wenxuan will vote for Zhuge Junshi!" Go north to Wancheng! ”

Everyone in the hall suddenly turned their heads and ears into a commotion, and Hua Wenxuan looked at Zhuge Liang, "The Northern Expedition has been planned, and the military advisor is invited to prepare early!" ”

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Jingzhou has had a bumper harvest for two consecutive years, and the mosquito repellent incense produced by the incense making workshop set up in Jiangling by the lord has now been sold to the southern states and counties, and it is very profitable!" It is the crossbow, only Jiangdong has ordered more than 10,000 pairs, and countless gold and silver are needed. ”

Hua Wenxuan grinned, "Since this is the case, my Jingzhou soldiers and horses can naturally expand a lot!" ”

Xu Shu interjected on the side: "During the time when the lord left, nearly 40,000 new recruits have been trained in Jiangling so far!" Now I have the prosperity of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, especially Jiangdong! ”

Hua Wenxuan nodded again and again, applauding repeatedly.

Sun Ce on the side smiled and said to Hua Wenxuan: "Brother Wenxuan should not intervene in this military discussion, but in the following opinion, the two plans that Brother Wenxuan just said are the best policy, and now that Jingzhou is in full swing, why not go out together?" With the main army of the Northern Expedition, the division will advance into Bashu! ”

The palace was suddenly in an uproar again, Hua Wenxuan was stunned, what he said seemed to make sense, huh?

"The main army of the Northern Expedition is naturally led by the Wenxuan brothers, and they act improvised! Take a cautious and cautious general, with a partial teacher slowly into Tubashu, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang is the master of inability to defend himself, and rely on the Shu people, many people who have migrated from other places are increasingly dissatisfied, if they can be taken as an internal response, they may not be able to annex Bashu! Sun Ce said to everyone.

Hua Wenxuan fell into contemplation again, now that money and food are not a problem, the soldiers and horses have just expanded, and the Sun family in Jiangdong is enterprising in Xuzhou, so they will definitely have no time to look west, why not play big?

Thinking of this, Hua Wenxuan looked at Sun Ce, but because there were still people present who didn't know Sun Ce's details, he didn't dare to reveal Sun Ce's identity, "General Zizhu said a lot of insights, which made Wenxuan really have an epiphany!" It's just that I don't know, who does General Zizhu mean by being a cautious and cautious general? ”

Sun Ce paused, smiled and shook his head, "It's just a feeling, but there is no best candidate!" ”

Hua Wenxuan stepped down and walked in front of Sun Ce, "Although General Zizhu's heart is in the countryside, why not be a rich man when the war is raging today!" Are you willing to work with Wenxuan to help the community and save the people? ”

Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously took a step back, "Brother Wenxuan is serious, he is a person who asks for a place to ask for a house, how dare he ...... with you"

"The general doesn't miss the world, has he forgotten your father's legacy?" Hua Wenxuan further pressed Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was still hesitating, and Xu Shu on the side arched his hand and said: "If General Zizhu is willing to lead the division to Bashu, Yuan Zhi is willing to be a staff member to help the general win the banner!" ”

Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, looked at Hua Wenxuan, Hua Wenxuan nodded heavily, "What Wenxuan said before is true, promise us to share the world, and return health and common people!" ”

Sun Ce had no choice but to nod and arch his hand and said, "Since this is the case, please ask Brother Wenxuan to give the order!" ”
