Why does this sound so familiar....... In later generations, many people think that attacking the heart is the top, and the siege is from Sun Tzu's Art of War "Seeking Attack", but in fact, Sun Tzu's Art of War "Attacking Chapter" just preached like this: "Therefore, the army is attacking, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege!" ”

And the real source of this sentence is the suggestion given by Ma Tan when Zhuge Liang went south, because of this, Liu Chan, who understands this content, is reluctant to give up Ma Tan, after all, Ma Tan has some real talent and learning, otherwise he would not have proposed one of the most effective methods for the long-term rebellion in Nanzhong at that time.

The population of the latter three kingdoms is sparse, almost reaching the moment when the number of Han people is the smallest in history, under the weak base, there are even fewer talented people, and Shu is the most serious in the three kingdoms, so for Ma Tan, Liu Chan is a little reluctant.

However, he was reluctant to return, and Liu Chan did not dare to reuse it, because this Ma Jian and Ma Chao were controversial in history, just as the Romance whitewashed Ma Chao, the Romance also washed Ma Chao again, the historical record of Ma Tan is not as noble as written in the Romance, after Ma Tan lost the street pavilion, he actually ran back to Chengdu and hid in a friend's house, and was later arrested by Zhuge Liang, imprisoned, and convicted of death.

Shaking his head lightly, dispelling those messy thoughts, Liu Chan lifted his spirit: "I guess that in the next few days, Meng Shu will definitely make some moves, and the prime minister needs to discuss with me early and be prepared." ”

"Your Majesty will not give up, and the ministers will do their best!"

smiled and nodded, Zhuge Liang believed what Liu Chan said, after all, Zhuge Liang did the same in history, although the great cause was not accomplished, but from a neutral point of view, Zhuge Liang had done his best.

"General Zhao, Wei Yan!" Liu Chan turned around and called Zhao Yun and Wei Yan.

"The last general!"

"I have brought a total of 5,000 troops this time, and you two will each lead 2,500 people. From time to time, his fingers had to draw dots on the map, and Liu Chan ordered flatly.

Glancing at the map, both of them were generals who had led the troops for many years, so they naturally understood that they were safe, and then went down to prepare.

"Your Majesty is well prepared, it looks like Meng Shu is going to suffer another defeat this time!" Slowly waving the feather fan, Kong Ming shook his head and smiled.

Liu Chan instructed Zhao Yun and Wei Yan just now, he was also present, and after seeing Liu Chan's arrangement, there was no problem, so he was naturally relieved.

Liu Chan looked at the big tent in the distance, as if Yunnan City was close in front of him: "Meng Shu is not a witty person, a reckless man, although the prime minister defeated him three times, but he did not reduce his number of personnel, now his men are no less than 30,000, and he is not lost to us, so naturally he will not be afraid to fight!" ”

"Then Your Majesty must think that Meng Shu will take the initiative to fight? If Meng Huo chooses to hold out, then our army has no way at all, and the casualties will be too great if it is attacked! ”

Liu Chan naturally knew that Zhuge Liang was taking the school himself, if he had put it aside, he might have been afraid of Zhuge Liang's suspicions, and he would have covered it up a little, but in the past year, he has given himself a lot of "surprises" to his father, and he is afraid that he will also recognize the improvement of his ability, so Liu Chan responded very decisively

"Even if Meng Huo can't come out, he can only hold on to Yunnan City for half a month, there is not much grain and grass in Yunnan City, Yizhou has been re-returned to Han, Meng Huo has no base, and now Yunnan City is surrounded by our army, and there is no grain and grass that can be transported into the city, so even if Meng Huo does not take the initiative to send troops, it will only last for half a month."

"Our army has obtained grain and grass from Meng, and we don't have to be trapped by grain and grass for a while, at most it takes some time, and time is the most important thing for us....."

Indeed, as Liu Chan said, although Yizhou is vast and is one of the largest prefectures and counties in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, in the final analysis, it is only a state, not as good as Cao Cao's land in Kyushu, and Cao Cao occupies most of the Central Plains, whether it is economic, military, or agriculture or even talents, there are innate advantages, as time goes by, the gap between Shu and Wei will only get bigger and bigger, so Liu Chan can't delay, and can't afford to delay.

And the only way is to hurry up to restore the national strength, and then fight hard, a bit like Zhuge Liang striving for the Northern Expedition, rather than being killed by Wei sooner or later, it is better to fight hard.

"And I'm sure that Meng Huo will definitely go out of the city!"

In the silent night, two royal pigeons fluttered their wings and came out of the Shu army camp, and all this was seen by Zhuge Liang......

......

Xipingguan, in the palace.

"Good! is worthy of being my brother, five days down the four cities, with the demeanor of my Ma family's man! Looking at the letter in his hand, the handsome man sitting on the throne couldn't help but slap the table.

Call Ma Dai my brother, and sit in the Xiping Guanfu Ya master seat of the person naturally only Ma Chao, under the condition of the royal pigeon to pass the news, Ma Dai Wei Zhennanzhong incident has been spread to Hanzhong Xipingguan in less than three days, knowing that since the family brother broke into such a prestige, Ma Chao is naturally in a much more comfortable mood, and the sulk that was pressed by Wu Yi and Wu Ban also came out a lot.

"Haha, General Ma Dai has made such a reputation, presumably he will be rewarded by His Majesty and the Prime Minister in the near future, the general and General Ma Dai are brothers, and they are naturally both prosperous! Congratulations to the general here! In the palace, a man dressed as a literati smiled and complimented.

"Chang Yuanxiu is going to say something cool, don't you know the situation of a certain person? A certain thinks that he is a hundred times stronger than the Wu Yi brothers, but the power of Hanzhong and Yangping Pass city defense is in the hands of the two of them. My brother has won the trust of Cheng, so he naturally has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but he does not have such an opportunity! ”

Shaking his head bitterly, Ma Chao couldn't help but seem a little over, if he could, he would never lose his brother, he had never lost since he was a child, Ma Dai had been following him before, and now Ma Dai has made great contributions, but he is still guarding a small pass here, and his heart is naturally very aggrieved and dissatisfied.

Here Ma Chao only said the prime minister, and his meaning couldn't be clearer, and there was some complaint in his tone that the prime minister didn't trust him.

"Haha, General Ma Dai has made a great contribution, why does General Meng Qi still seem unhappy?"

A hearty laugh came from outside the door, and then I saw a Confucian stride in, with a comfortable smile on his face, extremely kind.

"I didn't expect Bo Miao to hear about it too!"

Deng Zhi waved his hand: "Meng Qi is confused!" Although a certain is not as powerful as Meng Qi leading the troops to fight, but after all, a certain is still too guarded in Hanzhong, so how can he not know about it? ”

"A certain generation of clan brothers has thanked Bo Miao first!"

"I heard Meng Qi sigh again and again, and I had some guesses in my heart." After sitting down, Deng Zhi spoke lightly.

Hearing this, Ma Chao's body couldn't help but tighten, and the whole person became a little nervous, if his words of complaining about the prime minister spread......

Meng Qixiu was nervous, and he just wanted to ask Meng Qi this time: "Do the words of the day count, and Meng Qi is willing to serve the Han?" ”
