is still the same sentence, people are doing, the sky is watching, and a lifetime of hard work will not be wasted.

After Liu Yong and others walked into the East Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, here you are! Here it comes! After a while, he saw Xun carrying a map longer than his body from the inner room, and he was waddling and jolting.

Seeing this, Liu Yong smiled kindly, and rushed to Chuntuo and Zhang Nunu behind him, "You two, go and help him." ”

With the help of Chuntuo and Zhang Wei, Yin Zheng finally succeeded in opening the one-zhang long and wide map, and hung it on the roof beam of the East Pavilion with a lanyard.

This map is a little old, and the four corners of the map and the surrounding places that often come into contact with the hands have traces of sweat seeping away, and the map is also covered with imprints of various sizes.

But on the whole, it is indeed a very large and detailed map of the territory of the Han Dynasty, which stretches from the Green Mountains in the west to the three counties of Liaodong, Lelang, and Xuansu (in the north of the present-day Korean Peninsula) in the east; It is bordered by Beiping and Dai County in the north, and Cochin (now northern Vietnam) in the south, and borders the South China Sea.

On the map, the Qinling Mountains, the Kunshan Mountains, the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and other famous mountains and rivers are all over it, lifelike, this is a standard map of the territory of the Later Han Dynasty. It should have been made before the Three Kingdoms were established.

Although the map drawn by Wei Yan is very detailed, it is only limited to a corner of Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Shudi, and the pattern is too small, but this whole map is more macroscopic and more atmospheric.

After the map was hung, Chuntuo, Zhang Wei, Yin Zheng and others closed the door of the palace, and Liu Yong, Wei Yan, and Zhao Yun immediately discussed enthusiastically.

"Does Your Majesty mean to follow the story of Huaiyin (Han Xin) and pocket the entire Guanzhong, including Tongguan, in one fell swoop?" Zhao Yun compared the distance from Meridian Valley to Chang'an, and the distance from Chang'an to Tongguan, and figured out.

Liu Yongtong also looked at the map from time to time, and said seriously: "No, Huaiyin offered Emperor Gao to repair the plank road to Chencang secretly, in order to get the intersection to Guanzhong by surprise, and after obtaining the intersection, pull out the three nails of Yongwang Zhanghan, Zhai Wang Dong Peng, and Saiwang Sima Xin one by one. Xiang Yu's canonized Sanqin is not a three-legged cat, and Gao Zu gnawed off these three hard bones but broke several teeth. Moreover, at that time, Xiang Yu was annoyed by Tian Heng in Qidi, and the main force of the Chu army was also stranded in Shandong (east of Kunshan), which gave Gaozu time to gradually take all parts of Guanzhong. ”

"I don't have the good teeth of Gaozu, and the main force of the Wei army in the eastern part of the country will not give me time, so I can only think of some cheap moves."

"Your Majesty just mentioned the old Huaiyin matter of the Ming Xiu Plank Road and the darkness of Chen Cang, and the minister wants to mention it. Meridian Valley cliffs, plank road innumerable, terrain is extremely dangerous, the first emperor Ming plank road, repair is the plank road of the meridian road. It is precisely because of the deep cliffs and rugged paths in the Meridian Valley that the Han army was chosen to secretly speak out in Chencang. ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yong and everyone followed the prestige, and it turned out to be Zhennan General Fu Kuang.

Fu Kuang, when he first ascended the throne, Liu Yong was very unfamiliar with Fu Zhennan, one of the generals of the four towns, and even muttered to himself: Where did this come from, I had never heard of it in my previous life.

After being the emperor of Shu Han for five months, now that Liu Yong has memorized Fu Kuang's resume very well.

Fu Kuang, the character Yuan Bi, was a native of Xiangyang County, Jingzhou (now Xiangyang City, Hubei Province), and a member of the Jingzhou Party.

In the sixteenth year of Jian'an, when Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang invited his father to Sichuan to crusade against Zhang Lu, Fu Kuang followed his father into Shu. In terms of qualifications, he can be regarded as a meritorious hero.

Yizhou was pacified, and Fu Kuang was appointed as the Taishou of Ba County.

In the first year of Zhangwu, the cheap father was called the emperor in Cheng I, and then established the Yan Han, and the governor of Fujiang Guan was Badong County, and Fu Kuang was appointed as the Taishou of Badong. In the autumn of the same year, Daddy attacked Wu, and Fu Kuang went out with the army, with Fu Kuang, Fu Wei, Zhao Rong, Liao Hua, etc. as the governors of other departments, commanding all departments.

In the same year, Dad's army was defeated by Lu Xun, Fu Wei and Zhao Rong both died in battle, and Fu Kuangxin was spared and returned to Shuzhong with Dad.

After the short-lived brother ascended the throne, he worshiped General Kuang Zhennan.

I only heard Fu Kuang continue: "The Meridian Road is located in the Meridian Valley, the whole journey is about 1,000 miles, the mountains on both sides are facing each other, and the water flow in the middle is turbulent, and it is all passed by the plank road erected on the Xiuyan. The weather in Meridian Valley is complicated, and there are often mudslides in the rainy season, which smash the plank road. Nowadays, Shu and Guanzhong are separated, closed and isolated, and it will not take long for the meridian road to be abandoned, I am afraid that the plank road has been broken in many places. ”

"Therefore, it is very difficult to send troops from the Meridian Valley."

"What's so hard about that!" Regarding Liu Yong's proposal to raid Tongguan, Wei Yan felt that after thinking about it, it really coincided with his own thinking.

Faced with Fu Kuang's questioning about whether the meridian road could be passed, he immediately spread his hands and said disapprerovitically: "You can quietly repair the half of the plank road near the noon mouth (south) first, and then march while repairing the remaining plank road after sending troops." In this way, the Wei army would never be aware. ”

"That's a great idea!" Wu Yi, the rebellious general who had been following behind everyone and was silent, suddenly exclaimed.

Liu Yong also sighed that Wei Yan deserved to be a famous general for a while, and the ideas he put forward were to the point and feasible.

At this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the East Pavilion, and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang summoned the ministers.

The door of the palace was pushed open, the light dimmed instantly, and a large number of people flashed in, among which there were many familiar faces, including the imperial servant Ding Xuan, the prime minister's mansion chief Shi Jiangwan, the waiter Fei Yi, the waiter Dong Yun of the Yellow Gate, etc., among which there were two unfamiliar faces, Liu Yong did not know.

One of them is more than seven feet tall and can be compared to Zhuge Liang. And he is not very old, dignified, and exudes an elegant temperament. His gestures and eyes full of agility are very similar to a person - that is Zhuge Kongming.

The other man, about twenty-seven or eighteen, was of medium stature, with rosacea nose and narrow eyebrows, and the whole person was narrow and arrogant.

After looking at the dignity of these two, Liu Yong, who was traveling, had already guessed who they were.

Ma Tan and Yang Yi!

"Your Majesty!" Stepping into the East Pavilion, Zhuge Liang immediately led everyone to salute Liu Yong.

After saluting, Zhuge Liang did not speak, only revealing an intention to step forward, and Wu Yi, Wei Yan, Fu Kuang, Zhao Yun and even Li Yan who gathered in front of the map immediately opened sideways like a tide to make way for the prime minister.

Obviously, although Liu Yong has won everyone's attention and praise with his performance, in terms of prestige, even with the blessing of the emperor, he is far inferior to Zhuge Liang. In the hearts of everyone, they subconsciously still regard this legendary prime minister as the center of Shu Han.

Zhuge Liang walked steadily to the vertical map, stared at the entire map of the entire Han dynasty for a while, and then asked Liu Yong: "Your Majesty is just discussing the meridian path with the princes?" ”

"Not bad." Liu Yong bowed slightly, and recounted the content of the conversation just now to Zhuge Liang and them.

Liu Yong narrated, Zhuge Liang listened attentively, and after listening, he said: "In fact, people of insight in the court are very clear about the current situation of Han thieves, that is, the Han is weak and the thieves are strong. This must be very clear to His Majesty. ”

Liu Yong agreed: "Yes." ”

"As the saying goes: Shudi, the world is in chaos, and heaven is victorious; The world is unified, death row. In the land of the four locks in Shu, the Han family is trapped in the abyss. With Liu Yong's approval, Zhuge Liang looked around at everyone again, and gradually raised his voice: "For today's plan, the Han family wants to help, but the only way is the Northern Expedition; If the Northern Expedition wants to succeed, the only way to do it is to divide the battlefield, divide the enemy, and create a situation in which more fights less and stronger fights weaker. In this way, the Han army has a chance of winning. ”

Fight more and fight less? Fighting the weak with the strong?

Everyone, including Liu Yong, was completely refreshed when they heard the words. Liu Yong and Wei Yan had been discussing how to take the least risk and take the greatest advantage, focusing on specific tactics, while Zhuge Liang's assertion was to look at the problem from a strategic perspective.

Judge from above!

Liu Yong is very happy, his prime minister is really the dragon and phoenix among people, extraordinary, and the husband deserves to be appointed by this hero!

In history, Chen Shou commented that Zhuge Liang "is long in governing the army, short in strategy, and superior to the general's strategy", which means that Zhuge Liang's strategy for governing the army is far inferior to the talent of governance, and this evaluation is unfair.

Although Chen Shou is known as a good history, but a good history is also a time when there is a pen of Dong Hu, who said that a good history will not be emotional and carry private goods?

The fact is that Zhu Zhu's learning ability is very strong, and his military strategy has advanced by leaps and bounds in the Northern Expedition after another, and later he directly gathered troops and became a first-class general. And the strength is far above Sima Yi, Cao Zhendu Du Yong, Liang Zhu military fashion dared to plan the operation of Shu attack, when it was Sima Yi's turn, he had superior forces but was always pressed and beaten.

That's pretty telling.

"In the opinion of the ministers, it is too risky to attack Chang'an and Tongguan to divide the battlefield and create advantages, and the variables are too great and undesirable. Besides, to create an advantageous situation, you don't necessarily have to stare at Guanzhong, Your Majesty, please see, the terrain of Liangzhou can also isolate the Wei army! ”

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand and pointed on the map, Liu Yong and everyone followed, and it was Longshan!
