Three Chen return to Liu, and set the world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This rumor is about Liu Bei.
Recently, this rumor has spread quite strongly, also because Liu Bei is in the limelight.
However, the problem that Sima Yi said is also the key, Jiangdong and Jingzhou are difficult to survive, and Liu Biao and Liu Bei are also difficult to survive. Jingzhou, the land of four wars, is actually not so easy to mix.
"It is said that Jingzhou is a land of four wars, but they forgot why it is a land of four wars? Because it is blessed also! As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Jing Chu contended with China and was crowned king with Zhou Tianzi. Jingzhou, into the heart of the Central Plains, retreat enough to rely on the river to protect itself, the west and Bashu are connected but difficult to attack, the east is condescending to the Jiangdong, it seems to be the place of four wars, but in fact it is the place where heroes come in. ”
Jingzhou is connected to Bashu, and both land and water are connected. However, if Shuzhong wants to attack Jingzhou, it is also difficult. Liu Bei's defeat in Wu that year was not because of how powerful Eastern Wu was, but because of the attack on Jingzhou from Shuzhong, which was a difficult thing to bargain for. The land routes are all mountain roads, and both sides are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they are not suitable for war at all. Not to mention the waterway, although Yizhou is upstream, the upstream water is fast and shallow, and it is difficult to carry a big ship at all, not to mention that there is no water army in Yizhou now. Of course, if Jingzhou wants to attack Shu by water, it is also difficult to attack the following.
However, Jingzhou and Jiangdong are different. Jingzhou is located in the upper reaches of Jiangdong, and in terms of geographical advantages, Jingzhou has an advantage over Jiangdong.
"In addition, since the Yellow Turban, Jingzhou has been quite peaceful, there are no military disasters and bandits, and it can be regarded as a prosperous year and outstanding people. After Liu Jingsheng became the lord of Jingzhou, he was a prince of great importance in the cultivation of literature and martial arts. Zhuge Liang continued.
"It's a pity that although Jingzhou is good, Liu Bei and Liu are difficult to coexist, although Cao Cao is now difficult to free his hands, but let Liu Bei go south, it is difficult to ensure that there is no intention to drive the tiger and devour the wolf. If the two Liu fight, not to mention how Jiangdong in the east will respond, at least Cao Jun will take advantage of the situation to go south and swallow Jingchu. ”
"Yes, if Cao Jun dares to go south easily, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not suffer a miserable defeat, and I am afraid that it will be easy to come and difficult to go at that time."
Yanzhou, Xudu.
"I didn't expect Liu Zhang to finally leave and finally go to the Western Regions. I thought this guy was going to be relied on to the end. Cao Cao heard that Liu Zhang had finally gone to the Western Regions, so he was completely relieved. Liu Zhang has been staying in Liangzhou, so Cao Cao's heart has been hanging. Cao Cao had been praying that Liu Zhang would either go back to Chengdu or go to the Western Regions, anyway, don't stay in Liangzhou, don't keep making people think that you want to take Chang'an at any time.
"It is undoubtedly confirmed, according to the news from Liangzhou, Liu Zhang personally led more than 13,000 Ma Bu troops to the Western Regions. At the same time, there was also news that Ma Chao was defeated in the Western Regions. Jia Xu said.
"It seems that Liu Zhang is going to the Western Regions to do a big job, very good, very good." Cao Dada clapped his hands and applauded, and frowned again: "This Liu Zhang's troops, will it have something to do with Ma Chao's defeat?" ”
"Possibly. It is said that the two had a very good personal relationship back then, and they hit it off at first sight. Later, the marriage between the two families failed, and finally turned against each other, Liu Zhang sent troops to Liangzhou for the first time, and Ma Chao also persuaded Ma Teng to let Liu Zhang go. The second time Liu Zhang sent troops to Liangzhou, in the end, Liu Zhang also let Ma Chao live. It is reasonable to say that Liu Zhang's dispatch to the Western Regions this time has something to do with Ma Chao's defeat. However, Jia thought that Liu Zhang's relocation of the administrative office from Hanyang to Guzang was a matter of time before he sent troops to the Western Regions. Ma Chao's defeat is just an appearance, the real reason may be that the Western Regions have now intervened by the Xiongnu forces, otherwise Ma Chao would not be easily defeated, otherwise Liu Zhang would not have been able to send a large army to the Western Regions. Guo Jia analyzed.
Speaking of which, destroying the marriage between the two families was still Mr. Fengxiao's strategy back then. Looking at it now, it's really wonderful. Even if Ma Chao and Liu Zhang hit it off at first sight again, now they have a deep hatred. A certain and Ma Shoucheng are in-laws, and Liu Zhang is also a mortal enemy, if the rest of the Ma family serves, he will help the Ma family avenge and kill Liu Zhang. Wen He, can order more people to probe the news of the horses. ”
"No!"
"Back then, Emperor Wu's expedition to Dawan took several years, and if Liu Zhang could stay in the Western Regions for a few years, we would be at ease."
"Judging from Yu, Liu Zhang's time will definitely not be short this time."
"How so?"
Because it is said that Liu Zhang brought a large team of people, not only more than 10,000 people, but also many people from universities and businessmen. If there are few people, he may go and go back, he will definitely not take so many people to go, he must not stop at a superficial taste, and he must completely rectify the Western Regions. If this is the case, it will not be effective without a few years. Therefore, Yu felt that it would be difficult for Liu Zhang to return in the short term. We can ignore the threat from the west for a while. ”
Cheng Yu's words made everyone nod their heads.
Liu Zhang took so many people to the Western Regions, and it took countless hours just to raise grain and grass in the Western Regions, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no dirt with the countries of the Western Regions. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered Dawan, the first time he was defeated, it was because he could not raise grain and grass along the way, so that after the Han army arrived in Dawan, it was hungry and cold, and it was defeated before the battle. The second time, he mobilized more than 100,000 people and livestock to transport military supplies and grain for the army, and this was the victory. That's it, along the way, the grain and grass of countless countries in the Western Regions were requisitioned. Liu Zhang took more than 10,000 people to the Western Regions, and this 10,000 people didn't seem to be too much in the Han Dynasty, but in the Western Regions, it was a big army. There are only a few people in the Western Regions, and the countries in the Western Regions together are only a few hundred thousand people, the big ones are only tens of thousands, and the small ones are a few thousand, and there are more than 10,000 troops at once, and it is not easy to just provide for them.
Zhongde's words are very reasonable! In this way, we can go all out to conquer Yuan Highway. Crusade against Yuan Highway, what do you think? ”
"Although Yuan Highway is not afraid, the difficulty is how to win quickly. Now that the dispute between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan in the north has come to an end, if we can't quickly solve Yuan Shu, it is difficult to guarantee that the two Yuan will not join forces. Guo Jiadao.
"If you want to win quickly, you will naturally respect the king and order the world to please you. Although Yuan Shao is powerful, we want to summon him with an edict from the imperial court and invite him to crusade against Yuan Shu together, even if he doesn't come, he doesn't dare to restrain us at will, and in addition, Liu Bei and Liu Biao have always had a dislike for Yuan Shu, and Jiangdong Sun Ce has just broken away from Yuan Shu, and is trying to show the fact that he is outside Yuan Shu, and he will definitely move forward. Yes, if you want to win quickly, it's actually not difficult. The difficulty lies in the large area of rich land in Huainan occupied by Yuan Shu, and he is afraid that he will be eaten. Xun Yu said.
Guo Jia is worried about whether he can win quickly, after all, now that the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is almost over, once Yuan Shao ends the war in Hebei, he will inevitably turn to the south, and at that time, Cao Jun will no longer be able to take care of him.
Xun Yu was worried about how to bring as much of Huainan as possible under his rule. He is in charge of internal affairs and logistics, and the four wars in Yanzhou are too frequent, and the logistical pressure is too great. (To be continued.) )
