Chapter 225: The Battle of Yunnan

It's not just now, or Liu Chan from the beginning, the subjective impression did not take Meng Yutai seriously, the pacification of the Nanzhong rebellion can only be said to be a moderately difficult plot, just a turning point that pushes the development of Shu to a climax, from Liu Chan came to this world, after being familiar with the surrounding environment, Liu Chan's recent goal before dominating the world is that the Northern Expedition can succeed, because that is the key to determining the direction of Shu.

There are natural dangers in Shu, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also difficult to come up with a Shu, the money, food and military resources consumed are huge, and although Shu has the reputation of the country of abundance, the persecution by the war is not serious, and the people's lives are still guaranteed, but it is also difficult to supply the needs of tens of thousands of troops to the Northern Expedition, and Cao Wei, who is in the Central Plains, is a challenge for Shu, and Shu has only one chance!

In history, Zhuge Liang's biggest harvest was the first Northern Expedition, and the people of the three counties were obtained.

"Since it's acting, then we have to cooperate with the acting! After all, Meng Huo used Yunnan as a performance fee! Liu Chan said with a smile.

Zhuge Liang's face was still flat, and the feather fan waved lightly: "It's not what we want, how can we capture Yunnan without involving more hatred, this is the most difficult, and it is also the top priority of this battle!" However, what the minister was worried about was that he had fought with Meng Huo several times, and he was afraid that it would arouse the anger in his heart and cause an endless situation, if that was the case, it would be difficult to do! ”

"If Meng Shu has the heart to resist for a day, then he will beat him for a day until he no longer has the courage to go against my big man!"

Feather fan pointed to the location of Yunnan City on the map, Zhuge Liang said: "Our army's big tent is located in the northeast of Yunnan City, for the sake of truth, presumably Meng Shu and Meng You will come out of the east gate, then we only need to send a group of men and horses to prepare at the north gate in advance, just wait for Meng Huo's army to leave, and then attack Yunnan City, conquer it in one fell swoop!" The north gate is a small gate, and the terrain of the north gate is narrow and the road surface is uneven, which is not suitable for a large-scale army to attack the city at all, so Meng Huo's defense in this regard will also be lax. ”

Liu Chan's ability is mostly because of hindsight, as for the meticulous military talent and the way of government, Liu Chan is only an average level, so for many of Zhuge Liang's opinions, Liu Chan is very necessary to listen carefully and ponder.

And this seems to be what Zhuge Liang meant, seeing that Liu Chan listened carefully, as if he was really thinking, Zhuge Liang continued: "But at present, we are facing two big problems! ”

"Two big problems...... This time, Liu Chan didn't find anything wrong, and his face was full of confusion.

"First, if you want to attack Yunnan City and not let Meng Huo rush back to rescue as soon as possible, then you need to lure it far enough, Meng Huo is reckless but not stupid, he knows the importance of Yunnan City, so he will not ignore the safety of Yunnan City to do stupid things, so how to lure Meng Huo away, or who can lead Meng Shu away, this is a big problem."

"The second is that once Meng Shu is really lured out, then who should be ordered to capture Yunnan City, the north gate of Yunnan City, it is difficult for the army to deploy, and it can only attack the city on a small scale, which undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty of attacking the city, so who can take on this big responsibility, this also needs to be discussed!"

Holding his chin with one hand, Liu Chan thought for a long time, and said with some confidence: "Wei Yan is responsible for leading Meng Huo out of the city, Cao Pi contacted Meng Huo to attack our department before Wei Yan was responsible for resisting, Wei Yan is very qualified, and his experience is far better than many young generals, enough to take on this big task!" ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhuge Liang seemed to have a different opinion: "Wei Yan is indeed highly qualified, but he is not suitable for this big task, but there is one person who is suitable, and Meng Xu even has a very high hatred for this person." ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang said, Liu Chan naturally subconsciously guessed the identity of this person, but after counting it carefully, he didn't seem to find anyone who had a deep hatred with Meng Shu.

Seeing Liu Chan's confusion, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Your Majesty just ignored the latest up-and-coming Ma Dai in the Battle of Nanzhong!" Ma Dai leveled the central and western parts of Yizhou, took Meng Huo's hometown, and cut off his back road, how could Meng Huo not hate him to the core? ”

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case, Liu Chan also agreed, in fact, Wei Yan was chosen, and Liu Chan did not have a 100% probability of being able to lead Meng Shu away, so it was better to adopt Zhuge Liang's meaning.

"In the battle of Nanzhong, the prime minister is going to make a name for Ma Dai!" Liu Chan couldn't help laughing.

However, Liu Chan also recognized this, because in history, Zhuge Liang did not abandon it because of the relationship between Ma Dai and Ma Chao, on the contrary, he was extremely trusting and reused, otherwise it would be impossible to leave a testament for him to get rid of Wei Yan.

Of course, Ma Chao had already died of illness at that time, and now Ma Chao has not only eliminated his physical illness, but also liberated his body and mind to a great extent, which can be said to be a real regain of vitality, but even so, Zhuge Liang still seems to trust Ma Dai very much.

"The last thing left is the siege candidates!"

The two glanced at each other, smiled knowingly, and said in unison: "Zhao Yun!" ”

Zhao Yun doesn't have much experience in leading troops alone, but it doesn't mean that he can't, the Battle of Hanshui was a famous battle in the late Three Kingdoms with fewer victories, and the enemy at that time was not garbage, it was Cao Cao's army, Zhao Yun was also famous again, and was praised by Liu Bei as a guts!

After agreeing on a strategy, the Shu army began to make corresponding preparations, and Liu Chan even asked Zhuge Liang to write a letter with a clear meaning, that is, let Meng You cooperate with him to cooperate with the inside and outside to seize Yunnan!

On the second day, the Shu army had moved to the front of Yunnan City, looking down from Yunnan City, the Shu army of one or two hundred thousand did not seem to be very many, but looking at the military appearance, the barbarian soldiers couldn't help but muttered in their hearts, the Shu army was uniform, and the behavior was synchronized, even if there were sporadic abnormalities, they would quickly adjust themselves.

In ancient times, military discipline was linked to combat effectiveness, and an army with strict military discipline was not necessarily very strong, but an army with strong combat effectiveness had good military discipline, such as the Yuejia Army in the future, and the Qijia Army in the future, and the military discipline was famous.

After waiting for a long time, there was a faint noisy sound coming from Yunnan City, and then the crisp sound of the collision of soldiers became more and more obvious.

The gate of Yunnan City was also opened at this time, and it did not follow the plot in Meng Youxin, but on the contrary, there was an "accident" as Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang expected.

Through the superficial phenomenon, it can be seen that there is a big difference in strength between the two sides of the fight, and the weak side is constantly being forced to retreat outside the city, and the situation is not optimistic.

And among the weak side, there is one person who seems to be the leader, after going out of the city to see the Shu army, his eyes are bright, and he shouts loudly when he opens his throat: "Prime Minister save me!" ”

And at this time, the chasing party also poured out a burly, revealing a heroic man, holding a big knife and scolding: "Zhuge Liang, you are a treacherous villain, there is a kind of sword and gun with our name, don't engage in unsightly little tricks behind the scenes!" ”
