Volume 4 Enthronement Chapter 61 The Great War Is About to Begin

Father, Lord Sima Yi offered advice to His Majesty, and sent out a five-way army, two to Zhao, and three to Yongzhou to resist Liu Bei. Jamu spoke.

"The Five-Way Army? Which five ways? In detail. ”

"The first road was built by Sun Quan, and Shuzhou was cut down from Jingzhou; The second road is to the south barbarian Meng Shu, north into Chengdu, this second road is to encircle Wei to save Zhao's soldiers. In addition, Qiang King Cheriji, Xianbei Kebineng, plus Cao Zhen led 100,000 troops, and the three-way army went to Yongzhou to attack Liu Bei. Jia Mu said this, with a hint of admiration on his face: "Lord Sima is really a genius of the heavens, with this strategy of the five-way army, he will definitely be able to defeat Liu Bei!" ”

"Defeat Liu Bei? Hum...... Can you defeat Liu Bei like this? I think Yongzhou is in danger! Jia Xu sighed.

"What did my father say?"

"Sima Zhongda is talented, but he still underestimates Zhuge Liang, Kong Ming and Pang Shiyuan too much! Zhuge Kongming and Pang Shiyuan both have talents that have passed through the heavens and latitudes, and the five tiger generals under Liu Bei are all brave and good at fighting, and the so-called five-way army, except for the Southern Barbarians, I am afraid it is difficult to pose a threat to Liu Bei at all! ”

Jia Xu said, took the map from the table, opened it and said: "Although this Qiang King Cheriji makes offerings every year and comes to the court every year, do you remember when this Qiang King began to make offerings?" ”

Jia Mu thought for a while and said, "Around the time when the first emperor conquered Zhang Lu, the king of Qiang, Cheriji, began to worship my court!" ”

"Yes, I remember that Yang Fu defeated Ma Chao with his troops that day, and Ma Chao was defeated and fled to Hanzhong. That's when Cherrigi began to offer to the pilgrimage! Ma Chao has a lot of prestige among the Qiang people, and the Qiang people regard Ma Chao as a 'heavenly general', if Liu Bei only needs to go to the Qiang land with Ma Chao, Cheriji will inevitably withdraw his troops, and maybe he will help Liu Bei when the time comes! ”

Jia Xu said, his voice paused, pointed to the location of the Northern Expedition Xianbei, and continued: "There are more than a dozen small departments of the three major departments of Xianbei, Kebineng is just the leader of one of them, Kebineng has Xianbei Murong Department in the east, Xianbei Tuoba Department in the west, and the strength is not weaker than Kebineng. Therefore, Kebineng would never dare to consume all his soldiers in Yongzhou. Once the Qiang people retreat, Kebi can not support it alone, and I am afraid that they will also retreat. At that time, there was only Cao Zhen left in Yongzhou! Cao Zidan is well versed in warfare, but it is far inferior to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and others, if Cao Zhen guards Chang'an, with 100,000 elite soldiers, he will be able to protect Chang'an, but if he takes the initiative to attack, Yongzhou will lose! ”

"Father. Then there are Sun Quan and Nanban! As long as it is Sun Quan or Nanban attacking Yizhou. Yizhou is dangerous. Liu Bei will inevitably return to the army to rescue Yizhou. The danger of Yongzhou can also be solved. ”

Jia Xu shook his head: "You think too simply! Zhuge Liang is cautious about things. How can you not guard against Sun Quan. If what I expected was right, Liu Bei must have sent a general to guard Jiangzhou. Guard against Sun Quan's attack. And the people who guard Jiangzhou must be familiar with the terrain of Shudi. Nishikawa was originally easy to defend and difficult to attack. Add to that the location. Sun Quan may not be able to enter Yizhou one step. This is the only thing that can threaten Chengdu. I'm afraid it's only Nanban Meng! ”

"Nanban Menghu?" Jamu glanced at his lips: "Father." The southern barbarians were nothing more than some people outside the uncivilized land. I heard that the Southern Barbarians still wear animal skins and hold animal bones. Drink blood and eat raw. Ignorant culture. Shaped like a savage. There are more deficiencies than the mountain. How can you achieve great things? ”

"The South is barren. The Land of the Plague. Nanban has lived here for a long time. Naturally, it is unharmed. But if the Shu army enters the barbarian land. I am afraid that I will be attacked by the plague. With the convenience of the location. The southern barbarians can attack, retreat, and defend. The barbarian king Meng Shu was quite ambitious. This Meng was originally the leader of a tribe. Later, he married Zhu Rongbu ground collar. Annexed the Zhurong Ministry. Become the largest tribe of the Barbarians. Then adopt the strategy of long-distance inbreeding and close attack. The Southern Barbarian tribes were gradually unified. Meng was also recommended as the barbarian king. Now Nanban has more than 100,000 armor. And proficient in mountain warfare. Although it is difficult for them to capture Chengdu. But it is enough to dominate Yunnan, Jianning, Yongchang and other counties. Threaten Juti. And Zhuti is only four or five hundred miles away from Chengdu. Take the Minjiang River for a few days to reach the city of Chengdu. Zhu Ti is the southern gate of Chengdu. There is no room for error. ”

Jia Xu paused. Then he said: "The so-called outside must first be inside. Now Liu Bei's biggest flaw is that he failed to stabilize the southern barbarians, so he sent troops to the Northern Expedition. However, I heard that Liu Bei left Liu Chan to guard Chengdu. I think there's Liu Chan here. That Meng has only two percent chance to succeed! ”

"Father admires that Liu Chan very much!" Jamu sighed with some jealousy.

"It's not that I admire him, but the first emperor admires him!" The first emperor in Jia Xu's mouth is naturally Cao Cao.

"Father, in that case, isn't Yongzhou hopeless?" Jamu asked.

"Definitely...... Liu Bei poured all his strength to attack, and His Majesty should go all out to defend and strictly defend all places, and every city must fight! Even if you lose 1,000 yourself and injure 800 enemies, this battle will be fought! In addition, don't fight with Liu Bei's main force before, avoid the real and take the void, and focus on defense and delay. The territory of Shu is small, and it is not durable to fight for a long time, and when Liu Bei's army is poor and the grain and grass are exhausted, he will inevitably retreat. It's just that in this way, it is difficult for a non-200,000 army to defend Yongzhou. But the lord only gave Cao Zhen 100,000 horses, how to defend Yongzhou! ”

"Father, since you know that Yongzhou is in danger, why don't you go into the palace and tell Your Majesty?" Jamu then asked.

"Confused!" Jia Xu's face turned cold, and he said: "Such a big matter, not only can I not tell Your Majesty, but even you are not allowed to spread this matter!" ”

"Father, why is that?"

"Although Your Majesty has named me a captain, your Majesty is still most afraid of me! Your Majesty is very happy, but he is not good at military affairs. In addition, a few days ago, His Majesty successively pacified Runan, Karasuma and Liangzhou, at this time His Majesty must be arrogant and arrogant, I will now go to tell Your Majesty that Yongzhou is not guaranteed, wouldn't it be boring to be self-deprecating, and it will be plain

Suspicion. If you are not careful, there will be endless disasters. What may happen to Your Majesty at present, but if I am gone, Your Majesty wants to settle accounts after the autumn, and it will be your descendants who will suffer the scourge! Jia Xu said.

"Then why didn't my father let me go and tell His Majesty? That's a great achievement! Jamu asked aggrievedly.

"I ask you, how are you more than a father?"

"Of course I'm not as good as you, father!"

"Humph! Count you kid self-aware! You think, now that you have to be a father and be obscure, you can't get sick, your kid's ability is far inferior to mine, isn't it even more boring to be self-deprecating! Jia Xu scolded with some hatred.

Seeing that Jia Xu was about to get angry, Jia Mu hurriedly lowered his head. And Jia Xu calmed down slightly, and then said: "It doesn't matter if you can't learn the strategy for your father's land, but for your father's self-preservation, you must learn it all, not only learn it all, but also pass it on to me, so that I can ensure that the descendants of my Jia family have enough food and clothing, and will not be wiped out!" ”

……

Koto.

Lu Xun walked out of the hall with a worried face.

A few days ago, Lu Xun was recalled by Sun Quan, and today, Sun Quan ordered Lu Xun to lead an army of 100,000 and a navy of 30,000 to attack Shu.

Sun Quan believes that now that Liu Bei's Northern Expedition has gone to Yongzhou, Shu must be empty, and it is a good time to cut down Shu.

For Bashu, Sun Quan has been coveting for a long time. When Liu Biao was still on the ground, Zhou Yu formulated a strategic plan for Sun Quan to first occupy Jingzhou, a key transportation area, and then conquer Liu Zhang in the west and seize Yizhou, so that he could divide the world with Cao Cao, and then wait for the opportunity to go north and dominate the world. This is similar to Zhuge Liang's Longzhong. It's just that Zhuge Liang divides the world into east and west, while Zhou Yu divides the world into north and south.

However, because of Liu Bei's sudden rise and the Sun-Liu alliance, Sun Quan's plan was completely disrupted. And Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou and refused to leave, which made Sun Quan's plan fail, and it was because of this that Sun Quan ordered LΓΌ Meng to attack Jingzhou.

And now, Sun Quan thinks that Liu Bei's army is contained in Yongzhou, and at this time, taking advantage of the war between Liu Bei and Cao, he seized Yizhou in one fell swoop, and half of the world is occupied, of course, the strategy formulated by Zhou Yu can also be achieved. And if Liu Bei and Cao fight are both defeated, it would be even better.

But at this time, Lu Xundi's mind was still very clear. Shu Road is difficult, Liu Bei was able to seize Yizhou back then, relying on Liu Zhang to lure the wolf into the house, plus Zhang Song presented the topographic map of Western Shu, it is also necessary to count Liu Zhang's mediocrity, and finally did not stand and surrender, and only got Yizhou under a variety of factors. But now Sun Quan is attacking Shu, but he has to enter from Jingzhou step by step, and Liu Chan can't surrender without a fight like Liu Zhang, so Lu Xun feels that the success rate of cutting Shu is extremely low.

Lu Xun persuaded Sun Quan hard, but Sun Quan just didn't listen. As he grew older and held power, Sun Quan became more and more rigid and self-serving.

Moreover, in order to let Sun Quan send troops, Cao crowned Sun Quan as the king of Wu, which Sun Quan wanted to get. At this time, Sun Quan can be described as proud, and it is inevitable that there is no one in his eyes, so Lu Xun's persuasion has no effect at all. And because Adou killed LΓΌ Meng at the beginning, and LΓΌ Meng was popular in the army, many soldiers in the army also supported the war against Shu and avenged LΓΌ Meng. Although there are also people in Jiangdong who are well aware of righteousness, they think that it is not the time to cut down Shu at this time, but they have no choice but to do what the people want.

Seeing that he couldn't stop Sun Quan from attacking Shu, Lu Xun had no choice but to ask for the command of Shu. In Lu Xun's view, it is not easy to succeed in cutting Shu, but it cannot be said that there is no chance, the military power is in his own hands, Lu Xun can still feel at ease, Lu Xun does not dare to guarantee otherwise, but at least he can retreat when the attack is unfavorable. And if someone else leads the troops, Lu Xun is really not at ease, maybe he will lose Jiangdong's family foundation if he is not careful.

Just when Lu Xun was just leaving the main hall, a voice came from behind.

"Governor, please stay! King Wu is invited! ”

Lu Xun looked back, and it was Sun Quandi's personal attendant who was speaking.

The chamberlain led Sun Quan into the inner hall, and Lu Xun did not shy away from anything, and followed the chamberlain in.

Sun Quan is Sun Ce's son-in-law, and he has to call Sun Quan an uncle according to his generation, and Lu Xun is also half of the Sun family, so Lu Xun doesn't need to be too shy about entering Sun's mansion.

Lu Xun walked into the house, and now Sun Quan was lying there, so Lu Xun hurriedly bowed: "I've seen King Wu." ”

"Uncle Yan is free of courtesy, they are all their own family, so you don't have to be polite. Have a seat! ”

After Lu Xun sat down, Sun Quan asked: "Bo Yan, I know that it is not easy to attack Shu, but you have to worry too much, I have already ordered Jiaozhou Shi to send an envoy to Nanban, and ask Nanban Meng to raise an army to attack Shu together." Shi and Yongchang are too good friends, and when the time comes, the barbarians of Jiaozhou and Wuxi will also help Meng get a hand! ”

Lu Xun's eyes lit up, this is indeed very good news for Lu Xun, the barbarians are very strong, especially in the mountains and forests, the combat effectiveness is very strong. Moreover, the barbarians are basically all soldiers, although the total number of barbarians is relatively small, but there are not a lot of soldiers and horses that can be drawn out.

……

Yeongchang County.

Yong is the Han Shi Fang Hou Yongya, and the Yong family is also a big family in Yizhou. Since Liu Zhang's time, Yong has been Yongchang Taishou.

Yongchang County is located in the southwest end of the Han Dynasty, and the road is congested, isolated from Shu, Liu Bei is very inconvenient to manage, it can be said that in Yongchang this place, Yong is the emperor of the soil.

The relationship between Yong and Jiaozhou Shi is very good, and after the Shi surrendered to Dongwu, he has persuaded Yong to surrender to Dongwu many times, but Yong has never agreed. In fact, Yong didn't want to agree, but was waiting for one

to obtain greater benefits.

Now that Yong has finally waited for this opportunity, Sun Quan promised Yong through Shi that as long as Yong can rebel together with Nanban Meng, he will be named the assassin of Yizhou.

Yongchang County, among Yong's handsome tents.

"Strategist, I have already promised Sun Quan, or let's start the army now!" Yong said to a man dressed as a scribe beside him.

The person dressed as a scribe is Yong's military advisor, a few years ago, this military advisor Mao Sui recommended himself to find Yong, and after Yong's questioning, now this person really has some real talent, so he stayed by his side and became his own military advisor.

And this military advisor is Zhou Shan!

Zhou Shan secretly came to Yongchang through Lu's contact last year, and threw himself under the Yong tent, with the purpose of not only monitoring Yong, but also to add fuel to the fire at a critical time.

Zhou Shan has been by Zhou Yu's side for many years, and he has also learned some of Zhou Yu's skills. And in Yongchang, a poor and remote place, there are no literati and celebrities, so Zhou Shan's level is already a great sage in Yong's opinion, and Zhou Shan's work hard is also considered to be hardworking, and he quickly won Yong's trust.

I saw Zhou Shan shook his head and said: "Lord, it's not time to raise troops now, the Nanban side is not fully prepared, and besides, there is only one lord, so it is inevitable that he will be weak." I heard that the lord and the Taishou Zhu and the Yue Taishou Gaoding are on good terms, so the lord might as well contact these two people, raise troops together, and conspire for great things! ”

"What the military advisor said is extremely true, I will send my right-hand man to Yue and contact Zhu and Gaoding."

……

At the same time, Cao Di's envoy also arrived in Xiqiang and Xianbei.

Xiqiang Cheriji immediately expressed his willingness to lead 150,000 troops to help Cao. But Xianbei's Kebineng did not immediately agree. Ke Bineng was still worried that the loss would be too big, so that Murong Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei would have a chance. But after making heavy promises and some bargaining, Kebineng also agreed to lead 100,000 troops to help Cao resist Liu Bei.

At the same time, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to lead 30,000 troops out of the valley to confuse the Cao army, making the Cao army think that Liu Bei's army was about to attack Chang'an out of the valley, while Liu Bei himself led the army out of Qishan and went straight to Tianshui. Wei Yan's 5,000 soldiers and horses were reorganized at the south entrance of the Meridian Valley, and when the time came, they would leave the Meridian Valley and attack Chang'an.

However, everyone didn't expect that it was not Guan Yu, Liu Bei, or Wei Yan who started the Yongzhou War, but Meng Da, who was far away.

Now Meng Da has been promoted to the knighthood by Liu Bei because of his meritorious assistance to Guan Yu. Now Shangyong, Xicheng and other places are all led by Meng Da.

Liu Bei gave Meng Da great rights and ordered him to oversee the army. According to Liu Bei's instructions, during Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, Meng Da could wait for the opportunity to seize Xiangyang, of course, if he could not capture Xiangyang, Liu Bei would not blame, as long as he could contain Cao's army in Xiangyang.

Now Cao Ren has been transferred to Huainan, and it is Xiahou Shang, the general of Zhengnan, who succeeded Cao Ren in defending Xiangyang. At the same time, Xiahou Shang also led the Jingzhou pastor, and defeated the Wu general Zhuge Jin in Jiangling.

……

Shangyong City.

"General, letter from Chengdu!" The Colonel rushed in and handed a letter to Meng Da.

Meng Da looked down and saw that it was just an ordinary letter, not a military newspaper, and his heart was slightly relieved, but when Meng Da saw the letter signed, he immediately became nervous again.

This letter was written by Adou to Meng Da.

Meng Da hurriedly read it carefully, and in the letter, Adou mentioned several things.

The first thing is to tell Meng Da not to rush to attack Xiangyang, just send troops to bluff, and if he encounters Sima Yi, he will immediately retreat to Shangyong, and he must not clash with Sima Yi head-on.

The second thing is to make Meng Da careful that Shen Tan and Shen Yi are likely to betray.

Both of these things were reminded of Meng Da by Adou based on the defeat of Meng Da in history.

In particular, Shen Tan and Shen Yi are typical speculators. This Shen Tan brothers were originally a strong party in Xicheng, gathering thousands of people to entrench in Xicheng and Shangyong, and later took refuge in Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu was destroyed by Cao Cao, and the two took refuge in Cao Cao, and later Liu Bei invaded Hanzhong, the two saw that Liu Bei was powerful, and surrendered to Liu Bei, and then later, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, the two saw the decline of Shu, and surrendered Cao Wei again, and betrayed even Meng Da by the way.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like a god, and Meng Da has already experienced it. And Meng Da is a very scheming person. Although Meng Da did not guard against the Shen Tan brothers at this time, it can be seen from Meng Da in the letter that the prince does not seem to like the Shen Tan brothers.

The crown prince is the future emperor, and in Meng Da's opinion, after he ascends the throne, he will definitely get rid of some people who look unpleasant. Adou doesn't like the two Shen Tan brothers, even if the two Shen Tan brothers are loyal, the end will definitely not be much better. At least there is no hope for the two of them to be promoted in the future.

Meng Da felt that some of the Shen Tan brothers should be properly suppressed, and he could also take this opportunity to make some good friends. In comparison, following the young and promising Adou is definitely more promising than following Liu Bei, who is in his sixties. After all, Adou is the crown prince, and he will be the emperor sooner or later, and Liu Bei is over sixty years old this year, even if he is allowed to jump, he will not be able to jump for a few years.

At this time, Meng Da had already left Liu Bei's instructions to wait for the opportunity to capture Xiangyang behind, and threw himself into the plan of how to curry favor with Adou.

It's been a long time since I've asked for a ticket, so I'm cheeky and ask for a few! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next.) More chapters, support &UC e-book&! )
