Chapter 162: The Debate on Nishikawa (I)
PS: Refueling code word for tickets!! Your vote is very important for the autumn breeze
Time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.
In the following days, everything was relatively peaceful, and the city had its own people who received the caravan, and Shi Tan was transferred to the secret craftsman camp under Liu Bei unharmed, and with Shi Tan to provide fire support, the work efficiency of the craftsman camp really increased significantly, and the brothers of the entire craftsman camp were more motivated.
The whole territory of Jingnan was under the command of Liu Bei, and the battle basically did not encounter any resistance, but Lingling County and Guiyang County took a little time, because the army under Liu Bei's rule did not disturb the people and kidnap the people, and the follow-up work to appease the people was relatively active, so the whole Jingnan was more prosperous than before the war.
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong led 6,000 troops to the south, and when they could return from Jingnan, they each led more than 10,000 elite soldiers.
After the Cao thief lost Xinye and the city, he simply ordered Cao Ren to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to garrison Wancheng, from the perspective of Wancheng's defense, this time Cao thief is iron-hearted to defend Wancheng, after all, once Wancheng is lost, Xuchang and Luoyang are also in danger.
Cao Thief knew that he had no way back, so he could only hold on!
Liu Bei is also very good at sticking to the two places of Qixian and Xinye, and he did not fight against them, and it will not be too good to force it too hard, and it is likely to backfire.
In Xuzhou, Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to garrison Hefei, and Zang Ba to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to garrison Guangling, which echoed each other and completely cut off Zhou Yu's road to the north.
And Zhou Yu got Liu Bei's military order, ordered Gan Ning to lead 8,000 elite soldiers to garrison near the mouth of Mixukou, which was opposite to Zhang Liao, and ordered Xu Sheng and Ding Feng to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to garrison Jianye City, which could be regarded as a clear response to Cao Thief's arrangement.
Cao and Liu are tense on both sides, but they have a tacit understanding with each other not to violate the border, tight on the outside and loose on the inside. That's it.
Xiangyang, the state pastoral house.
The attendant Ah San added a few pieces of charcoal to the charcoal brazier, and picked out some scraps, and the flames jumped up and crackled.
Liu Bei sat upright in front of the desk, wearing a white ermine coat on his body. One hand wanders over the leather map on the desk, and the other hand is lying on the desk, staring at the map with burning eyes, looking thoughtful.
"Master, the charcoal fire has been added again, the weather is cold, take care of your body."
Liu Bei couldn't help but glance up at his attendant Ah San, oh, and waved his hand: "Got it." Let's go down. ”
"No."
The attendant Ah San shook his head, and was about to leave the study, as if he remembered something again, and added: "Master, Lord Tian Feng just returned to Xiangyang yesterday, and is now waiting in the front hall to receive him, I don't know."
"Tian Feng is back, so soon."
Liu Bei muttered. A faint smile broke out at the corner of his mouth, and he beckoned: "The front hall is too cold." Invite Yuan Hao to the study, let's talk about something here. ”
Ah San bowed slightly, answered, and left the study upside down.
After a while, Tian Feng pushed the door in, and a cold wind rushed in.
Tian Feng took off the big strap. Shaking his spirits, he stepped forward, and was about to bow down, Liu Bei waved his hand directly and said: "This is not a big hall, don't talk about these false courtesies." Let's sit down and warm up. ”
Tian Feng was slightly stunned, but then he hummed, sat next to the charcoal brazier and roasted the fire, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were so deep that he stared at the lord Liu Bei.
At this moment, he seemed to be glad that he had chosen to serve such a Ming Gong, what more could he ask for!
Tian Feng couldn't help but glance at the map on the case, this was a brand new map, he had never seen it, but judging from the method of the person who drew it, it must have come from a vulgar person, this map was really rough.
Liu Bei didn't raise his head from beginning to end, knocked lightly on the bookcase, sighed, and didn't say anything more.
Tian Feng came up, couldn't help frowning, and said, "Dare to ask the lord, what is this map?"
The corners of Liu Bei's mouth curled slightly, he snorted, directly picked up the map, threw it to Tian Feng, and burst out of his mouth with two words: Xichuan!
"Nishikawa!?"
Tian Feng was taken aback: "Isn't the lord Mo going to take Xichuan?" Forgive Feng for saying a lot, Liu Zhang, the lord of Xichuan, and the lord are both relatives of the Han family, if the lord does not have an excuse that can convince the people of the world, he must not easily send troops to Xichuan!
Besides, Xichuan is rich in things and people, the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, and the Shu Road is rugged and difficult to travel, it is difficult to take Xichuan with this simple map alone, and I hope the lord will think twice! ”
Liu Bei's eyes gradually froze, staring at Tian Feng for a long time, and sneered lightly: "Yuan Hao! Why did I say I was going to take Xichuan? ”
"But"
Tian Feng pointed to the map, his thin eyebrows frowned, and he was stunned, the lord on weekdays is not a master who looks forward and ignores the future, and Liu Bei in front of him is even more confident, Tian Feng unconsciously aftertasted it, gasped, and asked tentatively: "Doesn't the lord want to take Xichuan?" Or do you have some other plan? ”
Liu Bei picked up the teacup on the case, took a sip, and said indifferently: "Yuan Hao!" Do you think with my current strength I can fight the Cao thief? ”
Tian Feng was silent, groaned slightly, and had to say truthfully: "I'm afraid I can't yet." ”
"That's it!"
Liu Bei put down the teacup and took a breath: "I have self-knowledge, although the Cao thief was defeated in the first battle of Chibi, it occupies many territories such as Ji, Qing, You, and, Xu, Yu, Sili, etc., and the money, food, soldiers and horses are inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
If you want to destroy the Cao thief, it is not a war, it has to be ten years but decades, and now although I have occupied most of the entire territory of Jiangdong, the army is flourishing, but the overall strength is still lower than that of the Cao thief, if you want to compete with the Cao thief, you must take Xichuan! ”
Tian Feng shook his head and said solemnly: "Forgive Feng for being reckless!" But if you lose the foundation of the world in order to take Xichuan, I'm afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses, right? ”
"How can I not know this!"
Liu Bei snorted, stared at Tian Feng and said, "Yuan Hao! I want to take Xichuan, but also not lose the foundation of the world, do you think it is possible? ”
"This"
Tian Feng took a deep look: "It's not impossible, but it's really too difficult!" According to Feng's foolish opinion, for example, there are four princes left today, except for the lord and Cao thief, only Ma Teng and Liu Zhang are left!
The lord and Ma Teng are both loyal ministers above the original edict, as long as the lord and Ma Teng write a letter of resignation and ask his cavalry to cut Cao, presumably he will respond;
Moreover, the lord and Liu Zhang are both relatives of the Han family, if they are ordered by the Son of Heaven to give a secret edict, presumably Liu Zhang will raise troops to respond!
In this way, three of the four princes in the world have joined forces to defeat the Cao thief, even if the Cao thief has three heads and six arms, how can he resist it? In less than a year, the Cao thief will be defeated, and the Han family will be prosperous! ”
Liu Bei couldn't help but light up, Tian Feng's plan has never been seen for eternity, and the situation at this time is indeed different from the original Three Kingdoms, so why continue to follow the original historical trajectory?
If you don't give this strategy a try, how can you know that it won't work?
Liu Bei gasped, his eyes flashing: "Yuan Hao's words are like an initiation, which makes people suddenly open, this plan is really a clever plan." ”
"Is Mr. Yuan Hao ready to follow the path of the Six Nations to jointly destroy Qin?"
A sarcastic voice came into the study from outside the door, "Could it be that Mr. Yuan Hao has forgotten the final fate of the Six Kingdoms?" ”
Tian Feng and Liu Bei were shocked and looked at the door in unison. (To be continued......)
