"In this Northern Expedition, the imperial court decided to pour the whole country into attack, and the plan was that Wei Yan, the general of Zhenbei, and Wang Ping, the general of Pi, led the headquarters of Hanzhong and the Wudang Fei army out of the Meridian Valley to Chang'an, and attacked and captured Chang'an in one fell swoop through the Bamen Pai water outlet, and immediately seized Tongguan after taking Chang'an, and then divided troops to seize the Pubanjin ferry after Tongguan was captured, and went south to block Wuguan."

Zhuge Liang narrated while looking at Deng Ai who was standing behind Liu Yong, and the loopholes proposed by this son have been confirmed by the Han army's meticulous work.

Retracting his gaze towards Deng Ai, Zhuge Liang still said in a calm tone: "The other Lu Liang commanded the generals, led the Yamen Army, Hubu Battalion, Yuanrong Battalion, the Fourth Division of the Left Army, the Seventh Battalion of Qiongdu, and other main forces of more than 70,000 people out of the Slope Valley and rushed to Guanzhong, rushing to join Wei Yanbu!" ”

The Pingbei general Ma Dai and the Yangwu general Deng Zhi led 5,000 people to ride out of the Sanguan and parade the Sanguan to the line of the Xiegu Valley. Protect the safety of the army's grain route and Hanzhong. If the war on the eastern front goes well, the Ma Dai Department will immediately march west to collect the five counties of Longxi! ”

"And the time for the dispatch of troops is set for next year...... Spring March! The above is the detailed dispatch plan of the Han Army's Northern Expedition! After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, everyone was excited and excited.

The plan is so detailed, to be prepared to cut down the unprepared, to cut down its Yongliang with the strength of the country, the great cause can be expected!

After Zhuge Liang finished narrating the plan, Liu Yong stood up at the right time, and said in a deep tone: "Zhuqing, please go down and prepare separately, make contributions, right now!" ”

"Promise!" Everyone's expressions perked up and they agreed.

After the battle plan was made public, everyone dispersed, and Liu Yong left Zhuge Liang alone.

He also asked about some related matters.

"Prime Minister, is the imperial court about to inform Wei of the war?" Liu Yong and Zhuge Liang stood face to face and spoke.

Zhuge Liang replied: "The minister has sent an urgent envoy from Hongling to reveal the news to Li Hui, the governor of Guangwu, Liao Hua, and Chen Dao, the governor of Yong'an!" They were ordered to prepare their armies, gather their people, and guard the borders. ”

Liu Yong agreed: "The prime minister is very thoughtful, the national army is pouring out, and of course the local defense cannot be relaxed. ”

"The war situation is on the verge of breaking out, the Northern Expedition has become an irreversible trend, and the current question is when to notify Soochow. At this point, I don't dare to be specialized, I want to ask the prime minister's opinion? ”

Zhuge Liang pondered slightly, and then replied: "The Han army is scheduled to leave the army in spring and March, and the notice is early in Eastern Wu, and the news is easy to leak from Eastern Wu, and the notice is too late for the Wu army to prepare." In the humble opinion of the minister, it is better to send an envoy to congratulate Sun Quan on the New Year in the first month of next year, and take the opportunity to inform Wu of the clear time for our army to send troops. ”

"Let's do it!" Liu Yong nodded in agreement.

************

Time flies......

In the second year of Han Shaohan, the second year of Wei Taihe, and the first month of the second year of Wu Huanglong

The war machines of Shu Han were all activated, and wooden oxen and horses, and mule carts drove out of Taicang, transporting a steady stream of rice and grain to Hanzhong, and a team of soldiers put on armor and weapons, waved goodbye to their parents, wives and children at home, and then gathered together and drove to the official road to the north.

Prime Minister Zhuge Liang led the generals and the army north to Hanzhong, and Liu Yong led the civil and military forces to leave the city to see each other.

When Zhuge Liang went north to Hanzhong, Fei Yi and Du Zhen also sent an envoy to Jianye to congratulate Sun Quan, the emperor of Wu, on the New Year.

Liu Yong thought that Sun Quan returned to Jianye in order to continue to implement the Huainan strategy, but in fact, in terms of geographical conditions, prosperity and population Wuchang is far from being able to compare with Jianye, which has been in operation for more than ten years, not to mention, Jiangdong, where Jianye is located, is still the base camp of the Jiangnan Shi clan, which is the real center of Dongwu.

There is a folk song of Dongwu as evidence: I would rather drink Jianye water than eat Wuchang fish; Ning also Jianye died, not only Wuchangju.

Therefore, Sun Quan's relocation of the capital to Jianye was just a move to adapt to the current situation.

Jianye Taichu Palace, Shenlong Palace

Sun Quan, the emperor of Wu, was giving a banquet to Fei Yi and Du Zhen.

Sun Quan raised the bottle and said with a smile: "A few times ago, your country sent envoys to Wu, and Bo Miao traveled eastward, and I didn't want the two of you to come this time." ”

Fei Yi, as the envoy, replied: "Deng Bomiao has already served as him, so this time His Majesty and the Prime Minister sent two envoys to congratulate Your Majesty on the New Year!" ”

"The two families of Wu and Han are like a family, and the two envoys Wu and the widow have also sent envoys to Cheng I to congratulate the New Year." Sun Quan greeted him, suddenly changed his words, and asked: "Turning Wu and Han agreed to send troops together, the Wu army has long been waiting for it, but I don't know when your country will be able to send troops to attack the thieves?" ”

Fei Yi replied: "I really don't hide it from Your Majesty, this time the ministers and other envoys are also informing Your Majesty of the time of our army's dispatch, and our country has decided to launch an offensive against Guanzhong in the spring and March!" ”

"Spring March?" Sun Quan was taken aback and said: "Your army wants to launch an attack on Guanzhong in the spring and March, and there are only two months left, so Prime Minister Zhuge has already led the army north?" ”

In today's Shu Han, there is no doubt that only Zhuge Liang can command the whole army to go out to fight, and the only place in Shu Han that can attack Guanzhong is Hanzhong.

It was expected that Sun Quan could guess the whereabouts of the prime minister, so Fei Yi admitted after a little groaning: "Yes, the prime minister of our country has led a large army north to garrison Hanzhong." ”

After confirming the news from Fei Yi's mouth, Sun Quan rubbed his hands and said, "Great, I have been waiting for good news from your country for a long time." Since your country has already taken action, I immediately ordered Zhuge Jin to attack Xiangyang, Lu Xun to capture Wuchang, and I personally commanded the army to Beikou Hefei. Attack from the left, center and right to exterminate the Wei thief, at this time! ”

Hearing that Sun Quan was preparing to attack and cooperate with the Han army, Fei Yi and Du Zhen got up together and bowed their hands and said: "Your Majesty is well aware of the righteousness, even the Han Dynasty destroyed Wei, and the foreign ministers and others wish Your Majesty a victory and a great defeat of the Wei thieves!" ”
