After Liu Bei became emperor, he immediately began to lead his army to conquer Cao Pi from the direction of Jingzhou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ge Liang, on the other hand, immediately went to Hanzhong, preparing to echo on the side, and wait for the plane to seize the land of Yongliang.

The army marched slowly towards Hanzhong, and with the various people who stayed in Hanzhong before, Ge Liang went to Hanzhong this time, and the number of troops available for deployment reached nearly 60,000.

As a partial division, they were able to have so many troops that could be deployed, all thanks to the complete victory in the Battle of Jingzhou, which not only kept Jingzhou's troops, but also obtained tens of thousands of prisoners, and after two years of transformation, they are now ready to fight.

Shangyong's territory and men were still under Liu Bei's rule at this time, and in order to ensure the future attack on Xiangyang and Fancheng, Liu Bei also specially sent Zhang Fei to lead the army to station.

And Guan Yu did not die, Liu Bei spared the defeat of Yiling and kept the men and horses of Shu Han, at this time, the combined strength of Jingyi and Jingyi has reached 200,000.

In addition to their own strength, but also because of the great victory in Jingzhou, the rebellions in various places under Cao Wei's rule have risen one after another, and many places are strong and powerful, all of them are openly or secretly supporting Liu Bei, or want to take advantage of the chaos to grow stronger, and constantly create trouble for Cao Pi.

With such a favorable situation, it is no wonder that Liu Bei can't wait to launch a full-scale attack on Cao Wei again as soon as possible.

The current Ge Liang will not have so many scruples and suffer from the resistance of so many troops of Cao's army as Zhuge Liang did during the Northern Expedition in history.

Of course, Ge Liang was also worried in private that the sergeants he trained might not reach the level that Zhuge Liang had trained, and with infantry against cavalry, with a small number of men and horses, against Cao Wei's men and horses far beyond his own, they could advance and retreat freely, and win in battle.

However, he has studied very hard and improved in many areas, and it is difficult to say that he will really get to that point.

As soon as he arrived in Hanzhong, he immediately asked Deng Zhi to lead an army of 5,000 and march in the direction of Yixian with great fanfare from Baochuan Road.

A few days later, Wu Yi led an army of 5,000 to march from Fu Luo Road.

Let Ma Chao and Xu Shu, as well as Chen Yin and Hou Xuan, lead an army of 15,000 and march from Qishan Avenue.

Then, he asked Gao Xiang to lead 5,000 troops and march from the old road of Chencang.

Meng Da was dumbfounded: "Ge Gong, this art of war pays attention to concentrating superior forces and hitting one place." Now the enemy over there in Guanzhong is more than double as ours, and we have such a small number of troops, and you still scatter them so much? ”

"Anyway, no matter how concentrated we are, we can't compare with them, so we have to divide more troops, so that they can't distinguish between fiction and reality, and then we will concentrate our forces and fight a small part of them." Ge Liang didn't care.

Meng Dazhi shook his head: "Since it is a suspicious soldier, then you don't need to send 5,000 people every way, such a force, as a suspicious soldier, too much, waste." Let them attack after entering enemy territory, there are too few, even if it is a small county, it is too difficult to capture it. ”

Ge Liang spread his hands: "Alas, what can be done? If there are too few, you can only turn around and flee when you encounter the enemy, and it is impossible to even organize a blocking battle. ”

Forget it, Meng Da knew that Ge Liang's plans were always beyond his imagination, so he didn't say much, but just asked, "Then you deliberately transferred me here, which way do we go?" ”

Ge Liang replied: "We? We are here to guard Nan Zheng, ready to receive them at any time. ”

Meng Da asked in surprise, "Shou Nan Zheng?" After speaking, he shook his head violently, how could he believe this kind of thing, Ge Gong has not set off yet, there must be a follow-up.

Ge Liang just smiled lightly, with Meng Da's cleverness, of course he understood what this meant.

Huang Yue is right, history has changed, and now, in the direction of Jingzhou, Cao Pi still sent Cao Ren to garrison Fancheng, Xu Huang replaced Lu Chang, who died of illness, and was stationed in Xiangyang, while Zhang Liao was stationed in Wancheng, ready to respond at any time.

Since Sun Quan had already declared himself a vassal to Cao Wei, they arranged most of their men and horses in the direction of Jingzhou to prevent Guan Yu from attacking again, and there were very few defenders on the eastern front.

Although Sun Quan also called Liu Bei "Your Majesty" in the name of Hanchen, and Liu Bei had already sent people to ask them to send troops to the north, but in the end, whether they would send troops or not, there was no need to hold out hope at all.

But in the west, it was not much different from the situation during Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition.

At this time, Cao Zhen was stationed in Chang'an in the name of General Zhenxi, and was fully responsible for the defense of the Western Front.

And around him are Zhang He, Guo Huai, Fei Yao and others.

The mountains are the mountains, the water is the water, and the people are those people.

Although history has changed, as long as it is those people whose nature is difficult to change, it is basically possible to infer their reactions.

Cao Zhen is still very capable, when he was young, he often accompanied Cao Pi out hunting, and was once chased by a tiger, he was not in a hurry, he took the time to turn around and stretch his bow and arrows, aim at the tiger and shoot hard, and shot the tiger to death.

After Cao Cao knew, he was very happy, this Cao family had another fierce general, so he asked him to lead the tiger and leopard to ride, and then let him lead the army to crusade against the Lingqiu rebellion, which was also a success.

Moreover, he is also the same as Wei Yan, sympathetic to the soldiers, every time he goes to battle, he can share the weal and woe with the soldiers, he eats whatever the soldiers eat, and he will be rewarded for his merits, if the reward is omissionary, he can take out his own family wealth to make up for it, so the soldiers are willing to serve him.

Such an enemy, if engaged head-on, is indeed not to be underestimated.

However, this guy also has a characteristic, that is, belligerent, and it is a good fight to the death. In the history books, he saw Zhuge Liang's many northern expeditions, which made him very angry, and insisted on asking the emperor to attack Shu several times. The emperor was so entangled that he had no choice but to agree.

As a result, Cao Zhen led the army to march from the Meridian Road, but encountered heavy rain for several days, and the roads were damaged by mountain floods.

The sergeants braved the heavy rain and moved forward while building the road, which took a month, and they had not yet completed half of the distance of the Meridian Valley.

Cao Zhen was a little reckless, and still had to force his way into the army, because this opportunity was something he had won with great difficulty.

It's not a way to go on like this, if he goes to Nanzheng, the sergeants are afraid that they will be tired and sick a long time ago, and where can they still fight.

Emperor Wei Ming listened to the persuasion of many ministers and hurriedly issued an edict to let Cao Zhen come back.

As a result, Cao Zhen seemed to be unwilling because of this matter, or he was too involved on the road to take care of his body, and he died of illness a few months later.

Alas, it's really endless, although it is moving, but such impulsive people are prone to make big mistakes.

So, this time, will he think that the Shu Han army attacking from the Baochuan Road is the main force, as recorded in the history books, and soon lead the army to take the initiative to go deep into the Kei Valley, and even want to chase down Nanzheng?

Well, because of the character, the possibility is still very high. (To be continued.) )
