Liangzhou, Wuwei County, Guzang City.

A battle flag with the word "Liu", hunting and flying in the yellow sand, led the mighty cavalry army, and stepped into this Wuwei county seat with high steps.

Liu Bei was in high spirits, rode his horse high, and stepped into the Liangzhou state.

When I walked into the state capital, I pushed open the half-hidden door and saw a mess of cups and plates everywhere.

Chen Zhi rushed forward from behind and straightened the crooked couch to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei flicked his sleeves and sat down proudly.

Since the fall of Dong Zhuo, Liangzhou has fallen into a leaderless situation, and Han Sui, who was originally subservient to Dong Zhuo, relied on his threat among the generals in Liangzhou, openly established himself as the pastor of Liangzhou, and did not sincerely recognize Liu Bei as the new master.

As a last resort, Liu Bei had no choice but to personally lead the army across Longshan and clean up the disobedient crowd led by Han Sui by force.

At this time, Liu Bei has an army of 100,000, and there are Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Pang De, Zhang Ren, Wu Yi and other fierce generals charging into battle, and there are three Jiuqi-level strategists such as Zhu Liang, Sima Yi and Fa Zheng to give advice, how can it be an opponent with just one Han Sui.

After several battles, Han Sui suffered a series of defeats and had to withdraw, Jincheng, Hanyang, Longxi, Anding, Beidi and other Liangzhou's richest and most densely populated elite five counties, retreated to Guzang City in Wuwei County.

Although Guzang City is governed by Liangzhou Prefecture, the actual population is not large, and it is only because it is set as a state because it is held on the key passes of Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties to the west of Liangzhou.

Han Sui's army was defeated so far, and he had no soldiers and no food, but in fact, he was already at the end of his rope.

Liu Bei did not stop, immediately waved his army north, and came to kill Guzang, but before the army arrived, Han Sui abandoned the city and fled, leading the remnants to flee to the three counties further west of Liangzhou.

As a result, Liu Beibing took this Liangzhou governance office without blood.

"The three counties of Jiuquan Dunhuang and Zhangye, the terrain is narrow, the Dingkou is scarce, Han Sui fled to the three counties is no longer a climate, the defeat is a matter of time, the lord does not need to personally levy, just send a large will continue to pursue."

Sima Yi at the bottom of the stairs smiled and said to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei nodded slightly: "Zhong Da is reasonable, recently that Sun Ce and the Su thief confronted each other in Chaisang, I am only afraid that Sun Ce is not the opponent of the Su thief, if Jiangdong is pacified by the Su thief, then he has no worries, and he can do his best to deal with us, so I am also wondering whether it is time to go back to the east and support the Su thief." ”

The voice fell, and the soldiers outside the palace came to report, saying that Dong Yun was ordered by Zhuge to urgently come from Chang'an to ask for a meeting.

"The military advisor faction suddenly sent Dong Yun to come, if there is something wrong in Guanzhong, pass him in quickly." Liu Bei said with a flick of his hand.

A moment later, an elegant scribe hurried in and bowed down to the front of the steps.

"Dong Yun, could it be that the Wei army failed to invade Guanzhong?" Liu Bei asked worriedly.

Dong Yun arched his hand and said: "My lord, the Wei army did not violate my borders, it was Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, who sent an envoy Kan Ze to Chang'an, claiming that Chaisang had fallen and Jiangdong was in crisis, and he wanted to ask the lord to send troops to rescue him, so Zhuge military division specially ordered me to come to the front line to report to the lord." ”

Chaisan is broken!

Hearing these four words, Liu Bei's face changed slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyebrows.

Sima Yi left and right, Fa Zheng and other strategists were all shocked.

"Chaisang is an important town in the east of the Jiangdong, and the water war is Sun Ce's advantage, so he was attacked by the Su thieves so quickly?" Liu Bei questioned his face.

Dong He told the story of how Su Zhe attacked Chaisang.

There was silence in the hall.

Liu Bei suddenly realized, shook his head and sighed: "I don't want Jiangdong to have strange people who call for wind and rain, but it's a pity that Sun Ce has a narrow temperament, and he fell into the Su thief's discordant plan and self-destructed the Great Wall." ”

At this time, Fa Zheng also came to his senses and arched his hand: "Sun Ce is indeed to blame, but if Jiangdong dies, the Su thief can deal with us with all his might, so I just think that the lord can't sit idly by, and must send troops to rescue." ”

"Filial piety is justified." Liu Bei nodded again and again, looking at Dong He, "What is the opinion of the Kong Ming military division?" ”

Dong He hurriedly said: "What Kong Ming's military advisor means is that we not only want to save Sun Ce, but also take the opportunity to profit and take Jingzhou." ”

"Take Jingzhou?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and his expression was unexpected.

He originally thought that Zhuge Liang would suggest that he take the opportunity to send troops to Tongguan and attack the hinterland of the Central Plains, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to suggest that he attack Jingzhou.

Dong He explained: "Kong Ming's military division said that the Su thieves only brought less than 100,000 soldiers and horses with them this time to attack Jiangdong, and most of the troops stayed in the north, obviously to prevent our attack with heavy troops. ”

"Kong Ming's military division also said that if we make good progress, force the Su thieves to be in a hurry, give up the attack on Jiangdong, and lead the army to return to the north, we will give Sun Ce the opportunity to advance west along the river and take advantage of the situation to capture Jingzhou, and in the end it will only be Sun Ce who will benefit."

"Therefore, Kong Ming's military division proposed that the lord could lead the army from Yizhou down the river to the east and directly take Jingzhou, where the Su thieves were weak, so that he could form a flanking attack on the Su thieves with Sun Ce downstream and seize Jingzhou in one fell swoop."

In this way, the lord not only took advantage of the danger of Jiangdong, but also took advantage of the situation to get Jingzhou. When the time comes, when the Central Plains is recovered, the troops can be marched from Guanzhong and Jingzhou, so that the Su thieves and the north cannot take care of each other, and the Central Plains will be determined in one fell swoop. ”

Liu Bei's eyes were shining, as if he had seen Jingzhou being included in his territory, as if he had seen his two-way army, taking Xu Du directly from the southwest, and killing Su Zhe could not take care of each other.

"I heard that there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses left by the Su thieves to guard Jiangling, and if the lord goes down the river to the east, he will be able to break through." Sima Yi also seconded Zhuge Liang's proposal.

Fa Zheng also said: "When the lord left Yizhou, he told General Guan to build a warship, and the two years of hard work should have created a considerable naval army, which is just for today's use." ”

The three Jiuqi-level strategists were all in favor of attacking Jingzhou, and Liu Bei had even more doubts.

At that moment, he took a few shots and said happily: "Okay, let's use the strategy of Kong Ming's military division to go south to Chengdu immediately, and prepare to send troops to capture Jingzhou!" ”

Liu Bei's decision has been made, so naturally he did not drag the mud and water, and the next day he led the main army south and went to Chengdu to meet Guan Yu who stayed in the town.

In Liangzhou, Liu Bei urgently dispatched Zhang Fei, who was guarding Hanzhong, to command 30,000 cavalry, with Ma Dai and Wu Yi as generals and Sima Yi as strategists, and continued to lead the army to sweep away Han Sui and his remnants of the rebels, and all of them took Liangzhou.

Liu Bei himself led an army of 70,000, with Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Ren as generals, and Fa Zheng as his strategist, and rushed to Chengdu to meet Guan Yu.

Su Zhe deployed a large number of fine works in the Guanlong area, and as soon as Liu Bei made a move, the fine works immediately sent the intelligence Pegasus to the front line of Chaisang.

Today, Chaisang City, the lobby of the military palace.

Su Zhe was discussing the tactics of breaking through the Anhui Pass with the generals, and his troops hurriedly entered and presented the latest information from the northwest.

Su Zhe unhurriedly opened it, and after looking at it a few times, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he sneered: "Big-eared thief, you really don't want to be lonely, are you going to come and join in the fun." ”
