Chapter Twenty-Seven: Grow Stronger

"Your Majesty may wish to say it clearly if you have something, and the minister will definitely obey the order!" Zhao Yun said.

"Isn't it that Your Majesty has military affairs to be handled?" I'm afraid that Liu Bei has been a bodyguard for a long time, and he has a strong ability to observe words and feelings, Zhao Yun guessed extremely sophisticatedly.

In fact, Liu Chan also knows that Zhao Yun has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his military strategy is far beyond ordinary people, and the result of letting Zhao Yun defend Yangping in history is successful, which does make Cao Zhen withdraw from the army, it stands to reason that for the sake of Shu Han, Liu Chan should not have changed the successful events in history, but maybe it was the unknown emotion in his heart that made Zhao Yun spend the rest of his days with fame.

"The general is too worried, I just came to visit the general." Liu Chan pretended to be normal.

However, the more Liu Chan is like this, the more Zhao Yun feels that Liu Chan has something to do, how can a sixty-year-old general who has been in the world for a long time not see through a seventeen-year-old little doll?

"Forgive the minister's bluntness, Your Majesty, you have something to hide from the minister, and it is really disrespectful to speculate about the king's intentions, but the minister is unwilling, Your Majesty or the prime minister will definitely use troops in the near future, either to the south or to the north!" Zhao Yun said slightly loudly.

Although this is Zhao Yun's speculation, it is not unreasonable, although the current situation in Shu Han is a little difficult to calm down in the southern rebellion, but Bao Buqi will not send troops, after all, if the rebellion lasts for one more day, the people will suffer one more day.

And the north, judging from the current strength, it is almost impossible to take the initiative to attack, but due to the defeat of Yiling, the vitality of Shu Han was greatly damaged, but it was impossible to protect the Wei soldiers from attacking, so the north needed to defend.

"How could the general guess like this, it is already difficult to garrison the counties, where can I have troops in Shu to fight? The general really guessed wrong this time, I just wanted to talk to the general. Liu Chan smiled and waved his hand.

"That's the attack from the north, could it be that Cao Wei attacking me? That's right, at present, my Shu Han can only defend in close custody and recuperate. I didn't believe what Liu Chan said at all, Zhao Yun said again.

Seeing Zhao Yun's unyielding attitude, Liu Chan was a little helpless, why was Zhao Yun so stubborn.

"The general is really too worried, if the Wei army comes to attack, how can the general not know?" Liu Chan said.

Although Zhao Yun is old, he still has power in his hands, and he is quite close to the prime minister, so he may know more things than his majesty.

"Then Your Majesty is a disbeliever?" Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.

"The general is really worried, it's not that I don't trust the general, it's that the general is old, and I'm afraid that some tough battles are more than enough but not enough!" Liu Chan said helplessly.

"Haha! His Majesty inevitably underestimated Zhao Yun too much, Lian Po veteran, Yu Wei is still there, and General Huang is also sixty years old, and he can also kill Xiahou Yuan in Dingjun Mountain, help the first emperor take Hanzhong, and shock the world; is also the first emperor to enshrine the five tiger generals, and now Yun is in his 60s, although he may not be able to do the same as General Huang, but it is definitely not bad! Zhao Yun said very resolutely.

When Liu Chan heard this, he shook his head with a smile, in ancient times, military generals all had their own arrogance, just like this Zhao Yun, the older he was, the more proud he was.

Liu Chan knew that if he didn't tell the truth today, this Zhao Yun would probably not give up, so he had to speak: "Let me ask the general, my 8,000 Shu soldiers may be able to defeat at least 100,000 Wei soldiers for more than a month?" ”

"Naturally not!" Zhao Yun affirmed that even if the Shu soldiers were brave, how could they truly be ten with one.

"What if it's according to Yangping's risk?" Liu Chan said.

"No, in the battle of Hanzhong four years ago, although the Wei army lost more than 200,000 troops, but in the past few years, in order to prevent my Shu Han from continuing to go north, the Cao clan has increased its troops in Yongliang and other places several times, and so far there are no less than 200,000 Wei soldiers in Yongliang!"

"Moreover, Cao Zhen and Zhang He have been training their armor for a long time, and the Wei soldiers have already gotten rid of the shadow of defeat, their morale has been restored, and their combat power has increased greatly, and the 200,000 Yongliang soldiers at this time are afraid that they can be called the elite of Cao Wei." Zhao Yun sighed.

After all, Zhao Yun has lived on the battlefield for many years, and when it comes to military affairs, Liu Chan is just a layman, and when he heard what Zhao Yun said, he couldn't help but feel worried, it seems that the danger of Yangping is not simple!

In the history books, the records of Liu Bei's stalemate with Cao Cao in Hanzhong for several years after entering Shu, as well as before the Northern Expedition, are too stingy. Zhao Yun defended Yangping, Cao Zhen couldn't attack for a long time, and Cao Zhen retreated; Meng Da led troops to Hanzhong, marched slowly, did not reach Hanzhong, saw that the defeat of Shu was not successful, and immediately retreated.

As for the number of troops used by the two sides and the situation of the battle, it was not accurately mentioned, but now listening to what Zhao Yun said, Liu Chan felt that Cao Pi's attack on Shu this time did not seem to be as simple as understatement in history.

Wang Ping, who fell to Liu Bei in the Battle of Hanzhong, is cautious and familiar with Hanzhong, although this is the case, but can he take on this important responsibility? Liu Chan's heart was shaken, and with such a heavy responsibility, with Wang Ping's current merits and prestige, he was even more afraid that it would be a little difficult to convince the public.

"General, what if Cao Zhen leads 100,000 Wei soldiers to attack Yangping?" Liu Chan asked.

"If you take the initiative to attack, you will destroy the city and destroy people; According to the city, there is still a chance to hold on, after all, there are only 8,000 defenders in Yangping, and the number is hard! Zhao Yun said seriously.

Yes, 8,000 to 100,000, it's really difficult! But today's Shu Han really does not have enough soldiers and horses to send, excluding Meng Da, there are still three ways to send troops.

"What if Cao Zhen leads you to battle?"

"Haha! Jokes, Cao Zhen is just that, in the past, Cao Cao's generals and ministers all fought, how could they not fight Cao Zhen! ”

"The general has been famous for a long time, and because of this, if Cao Zhen shouts and abuses in front of the battle, what about it?"

"Ignore it, just by what he is, he can't go out of retreat! Those who give strict orders and dare to speak out will be dealt with by military law! ”

"Cao Zhen is shouting day and night, using the strategy of exhausting soldiers, what should the general do?"

"The army is divided into three groups, each on duty for four hours, and if a large attack comes, the whole army will be mobilized to defend the city."

"What if Cao Zhen sends troops to the mountain trail on the east side of Yangping Guan, bypasses Yangping, and attacks Hanzhong by surprise?"

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "There are mountains on both sides of Yangping Pass, and the army is occupied, if he Cao really dares to do this, he will be destined to put the mountain and stone array, condescendingly, and be buried in him!" ”

"The general really has a strategy, and I admire it so much! If the general leads the troops, can he keep me safe and sound? Liu Chan said.

Listening to what Zhao Yun said, after thinking about it in Liu Chan's heart, he finally dispelled the idea of letting Wang Ping guard Yangping Pass, although this battle was a defensive battle, it was too dangerous, there were many variables, and it was not enough to be cautious and cautious.

And if Yangping is lost, the Wei army can attack Hanzhong on three days, and then urgently order Meng Da, I am afraid that Meng Da will be difficult to shirk, at that time, the two sides will be sandwiched, 200,000 will attack Hanzhong, Hanzhong is afraid that it will not be guaranteed!

No wonder! No wonder in history, Zhuge Liang would let Zhao Yun guard Yangping, so carefully calculated, I am afraid that only Zhao Yun in Shuzhong can take on this important task at this time.

"Your Majesty, could it be that Wei Bing committed my Yangping Pass?" Zhao Yun was a little puzzled.

"Not yet, but I'm afraid it's going to be soon!" Liu Chan was very worried.
