Chapter 2017 Only has a three-in-ten chance of winning
Liu Bei decided to conquer in person, and the Shu Han court suddenly exploded.
Fei and the others stated the disadvantages of pro-conscription and urged him to dispel his thoughts, but Liu Bei could not listen.
The persuasion of the ministers did not change Liu Bei's mind.
He has already made up his mind to go to the army!
has been an emperor for so long, and many things have been handed over to Zhuge Liang, if he doesn't have to prove his existence in person, I'm afraid that sooner or later, he, the emperor, will become a veritable puppet!
At the end of the court meeting, Liu Bei, who had made the decision to pro-conquest, instructed Jiang Wei to take him to the army to meet the soldiers.
Liu Bei rarely came to the army.
Knowing that the emperor was coming, the soldiers lined up in a phalanx, and looked at the gate of the barracks with their eyes.
Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei and others accompanied Liu Bei into the barracks.
The soldiers straightened their waists one after another, and one by one they showed the most energetic appearance.
At the beginning, Fa Zheng took nearly 20,000 troops, and now Yizhou can mobilize less than 20,000 troops.
Even so, the soldiers lined up on the school field, and they were still pressed in the dark, looking mighty!
Liu Bei climbed the high platform and looked around at the soldiers.
He shouted loudly: "Soldiers, how many of you followed me to Yizhou back then, take a step forward!" ”
With an army of nearly 20,000 men, few have taken a step forward.
I thought that there would be a lot of people who would take a step forward, and he would be able to say something to boost morale.
But the scene in front of him made Liu Bei feel sad in his heart.
The soldiers who followed him back then are now very few left.
It can be seen that for so many years, he has fought in the south and the north, and how many hardships he has suffered.
When I arrived in Yizhou, I thought that I could rely on the land of Bashu as the foundation like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and march into the Central Plains after recuperation, but I met an opponent like Cao Shuo......
At this time, Liu Bei's heart was undoubtedly broken!
"Good! Very good! Although there were only a few soldiers who stood up, Liu Bei still nodded and said: "I thought that the soldiers I followed back then were no longer there, but I didn't expect there to be so many!" After following me for many years, can you tell me if you are still willing to fight with me? ”
When they followed Liu Bei, many soldiers were just to fill their stomachs.
Most of his former companions are gone.
Some were killed on the battlefield, many more went to the ranks of other heroes, and some simply deserted.
The soldiers who stayed behind simply didn't know what to do, and at least they could fill their stomachs in the army.
In troubled times, what can people like them who only know how to kill people do when they go to the people? Can't you starve to death?
But Liu Bei asked in public, and the soldiers didn't dare not answer, so they had to respond: "We are willing to follow Your Majesty!" ”
"Good!" Liu Bei nodded and said to the soldiers: "Since I came to Yizhou, I have not gone out with you. Fa Zheng joined Cao Zirong, he treacherously led Cao Zirong's subordinates to crusade against Yizhou. This time, I'm going to do it myself! Would you like to join me in the battle to kill the enemy? ”
"Yes!" Liu Bei personally enlisted, how dare the soldiers answer unwillingly, and it was a neat response.
Looking behind him, Liu Bei said to Jiang Wei: "Boyo, you come and talk to the soldiers!" ”
Jiang Wei bowed down and stepped forward to stand behind Liu Bei: "Soldiers, Fazheng has brought a lot of people, what I want to tell you is that we have a unique advantage in Yizhou." Since ancient times, Shu Road has been difficult to walk, where Bashu is a place, it is easy to go outward and difficult to go inward! Although Fa Zheng is here to fight, I am sure that they will be attacked and defended. As long as you are of the same heart and mind as me, you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy! ”
Nearly 20,000 Yizhou soldiers raised their weapons one after another and let out a neat cheer.
In fact, the soldiers were also at a loss.
They simply don't understand what they're cheering about.
Whether Yizhou was breached or not had little to do with them at all.
Cao Shuo's reputation has also been heard of by the soldiers.
Wherever Cao Shuo breached, all the soldiers would be absorbed, and as for the slaughter of the city, it was never something that had ever happened.
Not only that, but it is said that Cao Shuo will also pay salaries to the officers and soldiers in the army.
It's better to be a soldier and have money to fight than to be in Yizhou just to fill your stomach and work for Liu Bei!
The soldiers thought so in their hearts, but they couldn't help but respond to the shouts of the high-ranking people.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the soldiers, Liu Bei was also full of enthusiasm.
Since coming to Yizhou to be the emperor of Shu Han, he has not felt this way for a long time.
"Your Majesty, when are you going to go on the expedition?" Jiang Wei asked in a low voice.
"Early tomorrow morning." Liu Bei said: "Fa Zheng has not yet entered the realm of Yizhou, once he occupies the natural danger, we will be much more passive if we go to face it again!" ”
After all, Liu Bei led soldiers in his early years, and he survived in the troubled times for so long, he still has some unique insights on leading soldiers.
Jiang Wei responded: "Obey Your Majesty's will!" ”
Leaving the barracks, Liu Bei returned to the palace to prepare for the personal conquest.
And Jiang Wei was invited home by Zhuge Liang.
When he followed Liu Bei, Jiang Wei was recommended by Zhuge Liang, although he has not always had a very high official position, but he is a veritable real power faction in Yizhou.
Jiang Wei is very grateful to Zhuge Liang in his heart.
After all, Zhuge Liang has the grace of knowing him, if it weren't for Zhuge Liang, he wouldn't know where to be a petty official now, how could he have the opportunity to lead the army?
Jiang Wei came to Zhuge Liang's house and was invited to a wing room in the back house.
After entering the room, the two of them sat down separately, and Zhuge Liang asked: "Your Majesty is personally recruiting this time, how sure is it that Bo Yue can break the Fazheng?" ”
"Sancheng!" Jiang Wei replied: "At first, I didn't know how many soldiers and horses Fa Zheng brought, but I learned from Your Majesty that she commanded 50,000 soldiers and horses, and I was no longer sure. Later, I heard that Fa Zheng had Xiahou, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu, and Ma Chao around him, and his grasp was less than two percent. ”
"If you do the math, you should have a fifty percent chance of winning." Zhuge Liang asked: "Why do you only say three percent?" ”
"Because there's one more." Jiang Wei replied: "Yang Xiu accompanied Fa Zheng on the expedition, although this person spoke openly, but when necessary, he could speak like a river. With him with him, once he arrives at the official office who is familiar with Fazheng, as long as he comes forward to persuade him to surrender, most of them can be taken without blood. Therefore, there is less certainty. ”
Zhuge Liang first nodded, and then asked, "According to what you say, we have no chance of winning at all?" ”
"It's really not a good chance of winning." Jiang Wei replied: "The prime minister also has to plan in advance, once he is being broken by Fazheng, I can only guarantee His Majesty's thoroughness at most." The great cause of Shu Han has to be taken care of by the Prime Minister for His Majesty. ”
Jiang Wei mentioned the great cause of Shu Han, Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am too powerful, if I don't know how to restrain myself, I am afraid that I will be jealous of His Majesty." 2k reading network
