Liu He's ambition to subdue Zhuge Liang is actually just an illusion, and he deeply knows how difficult it will be. However, even if there is hope in case, they are still unwilling to give up.

"Forget it, this is not something I can force, let's take it one step at a time." Liu He sighed softly at the end, shook his head helplessly, and then went to arrange matters related to the deployment of Shu extermination.

A few days later, Liu He openly appointed Guan Yu as the assassin of Yizhou, the general of Zhengnan, the governor of Zhengnan, Zhang Fei as the general of Zhennan, the deputy governor of Zhengnan, Huang Zhong as the general of Pingnan, the deputy governor of Zhengnan, and Guan Ping, Huo Jun, Zhou Cang and others as generals, Li Yan as the vanguard, Xu Shu and Liu Ye as military divisions, led an army of 50,000 troops from Chang'an to Hanzhong, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Shu Road of Jiange.

At the same time, he ordered Zhang Xiu, the assassin of Jingzhou, to be the governor of the western capital, with Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Zang Ba and others as generals, Pang Tong and Liao Li as military advisors, and led an army of 50,000 to march from Jiangling, and the troops pointed directly at Ba County.

He also ordered Yangzhou Assassin Shi Zhou Yu to be the governor of the northern capital, Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Pei Qian to be the deputy governor of the northern capital, Huang Gai, Ling Tong, Zhou Tai, Wen Ping, Li Tong and others as generals, Lu Su, You Heng and others as military advisors, led an army of 50,000 from Changsha, and the soldiers pointed directly at Wuling and Cangwu, and the intention was also obvious, it was to enter the south of Yizhou with the help of Wuling and Cangwu, and then enter the entire Yizhou.

In the essay on the conquest of Yizhou, Liu He did not mention Liu Chan's mistakes at all, but just denounced Zhuge Liang's mistakes repeatedly, saying that Zhuge Liang launched a mutiny without authorization because of discord with Guan Yu, and then took charge of the government alone, excluding dissidents, as if he was a powerful minister, and there was a danger of turning Yizhou into a warlord, so he did his best to crusade, the purpose was just to ask Zhuge Liang to return the power, as long as Zhuge Liang was willing to hand over the power, and bound himself to Chang'an to ask for guilt, then he could consider leaving Zhuge Liang with his life, And ensure that Shu will not suffer from chaos.

When the news came, the entire Yizhou was shocked, because Yizhou was broken, and there were only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in total, but the other party actually sent 150,000 troops in one go, and it surrounded Yizhou from the southeast and southeast directions.

As a result, there was a feeling of anxiety throughout Yizhou, and many people were even secretly ready to escape.

However, Zhuge Liang was not flustered, he sent people to stabilize his mood, and assured the soldiers and civilians everywhere that he also secretly deployed a 100,000-strong elite army, and this time Liu He would definitely return.

Zhuge Liang's performance is indeed very leisurely, and his daily activities are not only reading books, but also playing chess, and he does not care about the arrival of Liu He's army at all.

For this, Liu Chan is very anxious, although he is only thirteen years old, but also very concerned about the danger of the country, one day he really can't help the impatience in his heart, accompanied by the family Ding personally came to Zhuge Liang's mansion, but saw that Zhuge Liang neither read nor play chess, but was leisurely fishing.

At this time, Liu Chan couldn't help but complain loudly: "It's time to burn your eyebrows, how can your old man still be in the mood to fish here?" ”

"It turned out to be the lord." When Zhuge Liang saw that it was Liu Chan, he hurriedly stood up and bowed, and then said: "Liang heard that Mrs. Mi is not in good health, and the lord is not in the mansion to accompany the old lady, why did you come to me?" ”

It turned out that since Mrs. Gan died in childbirth, Liu Chan was raised by Mrs. Mi since she was a child, so although Wu Yi's sister is nominally Liu Bei's wife, Liu Chan has been close to Mi since he was a child, and now Mi is sick, Liu Chan serves in bedside almost every day, and almost never comes forward for ordinary trivial matters, and leaves all things to Zhuge Liang to deal with, and even for Zhuge Liang, this is also the first time he has seen Liu Chan in this half a month, so there is this question.

Liu Chan sighed when he heard this and said: "Although the child never wants to deal with these things, but after all, he is also the head of a country, how can he watch the foundation that his father has worked so hard to build be swallowed up by Liu He? So I had no choice but to come to see the master, wanting to ask for a way to break the enemy and protect myself from your old man. ”

This Liang was very relieved to hear it, and sighed softly: "The lord is so young, but he knows how to worry about the affairs of the country, it is really rare, the old minister is very pleased with this, I believe that even Lord Ling Zun can rest in peace under Jiuquan, in fact, these days, the old minister has been thinking about the strategy of retreating from the enemy, the old minister thought about it, and felt that although Liu and these three soldiers and horses seem to be a lot, but the real effective deployment has not emerged, this is a strange thing." ”

"Oh? Why did Master say that? Liu Chan was very puzzled and asked with a strange expression.

"Think for yourself, why do I say that? How are we deployed to the north? How is the south deployed? "Zhuge Liang now intends to cultivate Liu Chan's ability, so he is very tempting.

Liu Chan tilted his little head and thought about it, and then said: "Our north is the Sword Pavilion Shu Road, one husband is the pass of ten thousand people, as long as a few hundred people are sent to defend it, the enemy is not afraid even if it is a million troops, and in the south is Meng Shu's barbarians, their combat power is also very strong, plus they are very prestigious there, they will definitely unite the local people and defend the southern Xinjiang as impregnable, so master, your old man said that the enemy's soldiers and horses are useless, am I right?" ”

"Well, that's right", Zhuge Liang nodded with satisfaction, and said to Liu Chan with admiration: "The lord knows the subtleties, draws inferences, is so smart, rare in the world, this is really a blessing for the community, don't hide it from the lord, it is precisely because as the lord said just now, the defense of our army in the north and south is very strong, but Liu He insisted on leading the army to attack, and it seems to be very sure, so I am worried in my heart, for fear that something will be missing, so I closed the door and thought hard about Liu He's conspiracy in the house, but I have no clue, However, just today, I suddenly figured it out, this Liu He has never fought uncertain battles, this time he dispatched so many troops, so fanfare to attack Chengdu, this must be well prepared, by no means a bluff, although the old minister can not determine where the flaw of our army is, but he knows that Liu He must want to take advantage of this flaw, want to win with a surprise army, so the old minister's countermeasure is to respond to all changes with the same, whether it is Chengdu, or the Sword Pavilion Shu Dao are ready for the final division, and the allocation of troops will be optimalTherefore, the old minister thought, sent the old minister's troops to guard Mianzhu, and then led the army to guard the county with his brother Zhuge Jun, and guarded Chengdu by the lord's personal guards, so that Chengdu can really be called impregnable, and there is no dead end in the defense. ”10
