On the sixth day of September, Jiangzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Stretched out his hand to help up the veteran Yan Yan, who resolutely surrendered after learning that Chengdu had fallen, Zhuge Liang's face did not have much joy after victory, he thought that the road to Shu would be a smooth road, but the sudden fall of Chengdu made Zhuge Liang's overall plan completely disrupted, and the Guanzhong lineup that appeared in Chengdu made Zhuge Liang extremely worried.

Lu Bu's son Lu Zheng didn't care, but as a ten-year-old child, Zhuge Liang didn't take it to heart, and even felt that it was a little ridiculous for Lu Bu to put Lu Zheng on the battlefield at such a young age.

But others, Zhuge Liang can't afford not to pay attention to it.

Pang Tong, Wei Yan and Fa Zheng.

Although Pang Tong's personality is a bit perverse and his interpersonal relationships are a mess, Zhuge Liang is very recognizable of Pang Tong's ability, and more importantly, Pang Tong is better at military strategy than himself.

Wei Yan, a relatively early general under Lu Bu, when Lu Bu's strategic center of gravity was still in the north, Wei Yan helped Lu Bu block the eastern portal, and the early Luoyang battle was almost presided over by him alone, when Zhuge Liang was in Longzhong, he had already begun to study the various characters under Lu Bu, and in terms of military strategy, even if Lu Bu's fierce generals were like clouds, Wei Yan was enough to rank in the top three, not under Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.

As for Fazheng, Zhuge Liang didn't have much research, but the strategy of capturing Shuzhong is not like Pang Tong's means, it seems that it must be the handiwork of this person, judging from these means, this person is very good at attacking the heart, and it can be said that he is the most difficult one to deal with.

Although Zhuge Liang surrendered the 30,000 Bajun garrisons under Yan Yan, Pang Tong's side directly subdued all the 100,000 Shu troops in Langzhong, and Zhang Ren, Deng Xian, Ling Bao, Gao Pei, and Yang Huai in Shu all returned to Lu Bu.

This battle is difficult to fight, after appeasing Yan Yan Haosheng, Zhuge Liang returned to the tent, unfolded the map of Ba County, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, these three people, any of them, are not easy to deal with, not to mention that the three of them together, I thought that Shu could be successfully captured, but the result gave Zhuge Liang a headache, in his plan, to attack Shuzhong, at most, it will take two years, and Shuzhong must be won within two years, but at this moment, whether it is strategists, generals or troops, even Zhuge Liang is a little difficult at this moment.

Even if Lu Bu no longer sends troops, the 100,000 Shu troops who surrendered in Langzhong alone are enough to give Zhuge Liang a headache.

"Strategist, if you can't disobey it, it's better to ......" Beside Zhuge Liang, the young Ma Jian looked at Zhuge Liang, hesitated, and opened his mouth to persuade.

If you can't do anything, just withdraw!

Of course, the words are not complete, Ma Jian is very valued by Zhuge Liang, on weekdays, every time there is a major event to discuss with the generals, he will be taken with him, Ma Jian naturally knows that in Zhuge Liang's plan, Shuzhong occupies an important position, even more important than Jingzhou.

"You can't go back!" Zhuge Liang shook his head bitterly, spread out the map, pointed to the location of Jingzhou and said: "Originally, Lu Bu wanted to use troops against Jingzhou, and our army only needed to arrange a defensive line at several passes in Nanyang to block Lu Bu, but since Pang Tong broke through Hanzhong, Lu Bu's troops can enter from above, and threaten Nanyang on both sides. ”

At this moment, Zhuge Liang naturally guessed that Lu Bu's strategy was contrary to his expectations, and he actually wanted to set Shuzhong first, and then exert his strength, originally thinking that Lu Bu would set Cao Cao first, although it was a little immoral, but it was inevitable that there was some schadenfreude, but when Lu Bu's pressure was completely pressed on Jingzhou, then this feeling was not so wonderful, looking at the map in front of him, Zhuge Liang could even feel that Lu Bu was pressing Liu Bei's living space step by step.

Even if Zhuge Liang lets go of Shuzhong at this moment, after Lu Bu occupies Shuzhong, he will still press it over, making Liu Bei breathless, and he has to find more living space, and then ......

Zhuge Liang's gaze looked down the Yangtze River on the map, and he already roughly understood Lu Bu's intentions.

Lu Bu wants to unify the world, but he doesn't want to invest too much, so he wants to force, forcing the only three remaining princes to fight against each other, because of the terrain, Jiangdong is destined to be impossible to have the same heart with Cao Liu, which is also an important reason why Lu Bu entered Shu first instead of first determining the Central Plains, he needs Jiangdong to make the wind and rain in the back, so that Cao Liu can not go all out to deal with Lu Bu, sometimes the three families are really not as good as the two, the world is too small, so small that it can not accommodate the four princes.

Zhuge Liang's original plan was to take Shuzhong, and then trade with Sun Quan, even if he ceded some land, or even most of Jingzhou, so that Jiangdong could develop northward, in this way, the three families would have enough reasons to cooperate sincerely, at least before eliminating Lu Bu, a strong enemy, the three families could cooperate sincerely, but if they couldn't take Shuzhong, what qualifications did Liu Bei have to negotiate with the Sun family, Jingzhou was so big, if too much land was ceded to Jiangdong, how would Liu Bei develop in the future?

If you don't break Shuzhong, this is a dead end, only by taking Shuzhong, the three princes can coexist, and work together to form a pattern of north-south confrontation with Lu Bu, so no matter how difficult Shuzhong is, it must be won, and since Lu Bu has already started, it means that Zhuge Liang has no second chance to make a comeback.

"Young Chang, Shuzhong is too important to the lord, once you lose Shuzhong, the world will ...... Hehe......" In the end, Zhuge Liang sighed leisurely, this kind of thing can only be said to Ma Yan, and others, Zhuge Liang dare not say it, and he can't say it, it's too demoralizing.

"Is Pang Tong really so powerful?" Ma Jian looked at Zhuge Liang suspiciously, he naturally heard the name of Pang Tong, with Pang Tong out of Shi Lu Bu, some black history was gradually dug up, that is not a good thing for the Jingxiang family, when Pang Tong was a fledgling, he wanted to see Liu Biao, but because he was too ugly, he didn't even see Liu Biao's face, it happened that Lu Lingqi was rampant in Jingzhou, trapped by Cai Mao, it was because of Pang Tong's help that he was able to get out of trouble, and then somehow, he ran to the Western Regions, made a lot of achievements, and then officially allegiance to Lu Bu in Jizhou, Helping Lu Bu promote Juntian, it was also from that time that the Pang family in Jingzhou began to be ostracized because of Pang Tong, and their momentum was not as good as before, and they disappeared in the past two years.

"If you look at military strategy, Shi Yuan is better than me." Zhuge Liang shook his head with a wry smile.

"But the confrontation between the two countries is not just based on war, especially when Shuzhong is newly settled, and the family and the people's hearts are not attached." Ma Jian smiled.

Zhuge Liang is best at winning or losing outside the battlefield, and now Pang Tong has just decided Shuzhong, Ma Jian feels that this is an opportunity to take advantage of.

"If it's just Shi Yuan, I'm not worried." Zhuge Liang nodded appreciatively, this is also the strategy he is going to use, but this time, he is not too sure: "Shi Yuan is strong in military strategy, intrigues, proficient in mathematics, but he has a withdrawn temperament and is unruly, if he is alone, it is not difficult to deal with." ”

The Pang Shiyuan that Zhuge Liang knows has great shortcomings in his personality, promoting his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses, this is what Zhuge Liang is best at, as long as he is aimed at Pang Tong's character shortcomings, it is not difficult to deal with him.

"Why is the military advisor still worried?" Ma Yanqi said.

"Have you ever heard of Fa Zheng?" Zhuge Liang asked without answering.

"I have heard that under the command of Lu Bu, the son of the former Governor of the Department of Justice, Fa Yan, I heard that he is also a descendant of the Fa family." Ma Jian nodded, Fa Zheng's reputation under Lu Bu was not as loud as Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and the older generation of Jia Xu, Chen Gong and Fu Zhi, and Ma Jian didn't know much.

"Originally, I thought so." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "But Guanzhong was able to take Chengdu so easily without blood, all because of this person's plan." ”

"Oh?" Ma Tan looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise when he heard this: "It's not Pang Tong?" ”

"Shi Yuan has an arrogant temperament, he can't use this kind of strategy to attack the heart!" Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "With this person here, it is difficult to calculate Shiyuan!" ”

"This man is so powerful?" Ma Tan was surprised.

Zhuge Liang nodded, and did not sigh again, he carried too many things, since things have come to this point, it is useless to continue to sigh, now what he wants to think about is a solution.

"With Shiyuan's character, I'm afraid that I will call in the near future, Jiangzhou is new, people's hearts are unstable, I need to sit here, and at the same time ask General Yan Yan to contact the former generals, saying that the cities of Jianba County are young, I want you to sneak into Chengdu secretly, secretly contact the Chengdu family, and find a way to provoke the Chengdu family!" Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Yan and said in a deep voice while sketching on the map.

In terms of the overall situation, Ma Tan's previous thoughts coincided with Zhuge Liang, the decisive victory was outside the battlefield, Pang Tong's army went out, Chengdu must be empty, if at this time, it is said that the Chengdu family defected, it would be equivalent to cutting off Pang Tong's back road, and this battle could be won without a fight.

It's just that Zhuge Liang can't do this kind of thing personally, and around, in Zhuge Liang's opinion, only Ma Jian is the most suitable person regardless of wisdom or talent, so he is ready to let Ma Jian do it.

"Tell those families that our army promises that after entering Shu, they will not commit any crimes against the family, let alone the interests they have now, and will even make some concessions!" After thinking about it, Zhuge Liang added again.

Whenever Lu Bu goes to a place, he will promote the uniform field system, although there are many ways to compensate in Guanzhong, but Zhuge Liang can naturally see that although he can get more wealth by taking the road given by Lu Bu, the family has lost a lot of right to speak, and without land, the family is equivalent to losing the qualification to compete with Lu Bu, as long as Lu Bu is happy, he can knead any family at will, this is also the place where the family really rejects Lu Bu, the right to speak and the ability to protect themselves, which cannot be replaced by more interests.

As long as this point is held, coupled with the emptiness within Chengdu, Zhuge Liang believes that it is enough to move those families, as for whether Fazheng will perceive it, he cannot completely give up because of this possibility, Zhuge Liang believes that with Ma Tan's wit, he may not lose to Fazheng.

"Rest assured, the military advisor will live up to the trust!" After Ma Tan bowed solemnly, he said goodbye and left. (To be continued.) )
