Ge Liang hurriedly replied: "Lord Hongfu, this battle has already wiped out the elite of the Jiangdong naval army, if there are more people and horses, Jiangdong cannot be unaware, and it will not be so easy to rush forward." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Fa Zheng was still regretting the futility of Beitu Yongliang, and then sighed again: "This Sun Quan is really hateful, Xiangyang can already be taken back by us, just because of them, the battle of Xiangfan that harmed us was also in vain." ”

Liu Bei looked at it a little more openly: "Now that I have recaptured Xiakou, closed the east gate of Jingzhou, and beheaded countless prisoners, how can it be said that it is useless." ”

Pang Tong sighed: "Actually, I also advocated giving up Jingzhou before, just because Jingzhou is a land dispute, and there are many conspiracies, which makes people tired of guarding, and once one side attacks, it will be secretly attacked by the other side." ”

Ge Liang hurriedly took advantage of the situation to defend himself, and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, at the beginning, I also persuaded the lord Gongdong and Sun Quan to go north to resist Cao, but I also thought that Jingzhou could not be enemies of Cao and Sun at the same time, but Sun Quan coveted Jingzhou's heart and did not die, and it was difficult to truly form an alliance with us." Alas, it was I who thought it was too simple at first. ”

When Liu Bei heard Ge Liang say this, it seemed that he was reviewing the Longzhong countermeasures back then, but he had been acting according to this plan, and he hurriedly asked, "What did the military advisor say about this?" ”

Ge Liang pondered and said slowly: "Lord, not only me, but also Shiyuan and Xiaozhi, in fact, we have always advocated emulating the great cause of Gaozu back then, relying on the geographical advantages of Yizhou, seizing the land of Sanqin, and then sending a letter to Guguan to map the world." In fact, if you think about it now, it seems that the situation today is a little different from that year. ”

"Oh?" As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng immediately hardened their ears and listened.

Ge Liang said: "When Gaozu seized the land of Sanqin, he succeeded in one fell swoop, in addition to the clever plan of the Marquis of Huaiyin to secretly cross Chen Cang, but also because the king of Sanqin in the town guarded the pass, lost the hearts of the people in the local area, and caused 200,000 soldiers in his hometown to be killed, and the three parties were divided, and it was difficult to join forces, so it was easily captured. But now, although Cao Cao is still unpopular in Yongliang, and people everywhere sometimes resist, after all, all the armies are united, and they have a large number of cavalry, and the back and forth echo is extremely fast, and it is difficult to decide in a battle. ”

It seems to make some sense, but Liu Bei and Fa Zheng both think that this is not the point.

Ge Yi said: "Moreover, from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, the road is rugged and steep, and the road is far away, the enemy refuses to fight, and we have difficulty transporting grain, if we can't fight a battle, it will be difficult to hold on for a long time." ”

This is about the same, Liu Bei and Fa Zheng both nodded again and again.

"Back then, we refused to fight in danger, although we killed Xiahou Yuan because of sneaking, but the most fundamental reason was that it was difficult to transport grain and Cao Cao was unable to hold on for a long time, so we were forced to retreat. Now that it's the other way around, they will naturally do the same against us. Ge Liang sighed.

Liu Bei frowned, yes, why did I forget it myself?

Immediately, Ge Liang frowned: "But I found that if I send troops from Jingzhou, there will be no such difficulties." You see, the rivers in the direction of Jingzhou are crisscrossed, the waterways are developed, and it is much easier to transport troops and grain than to transport grain from Hanzhong to Guanzhong. ”

Pang Tong interjected: "But Jingzhou is a land that is Qu, fighting for land, and handing over land, and it is also very convenient for the enemy to come in, and the enemy is ...... on both sides."

Ge Liang said with a smile: "Shiyuan, Cao Jun is not good at water warfare, for them, this is a dangerous place, and for Jiangdong, this time they were driven out of Xiakou, we have sealed the gate for them to enter Jingzhou through the waterway, they can't go deep, the waterway of Jingzhou is unblocked, for them, it is just out of reach." ”

Pang Tong was silent.

Ge Liang said softly: "You said that you wanted to give up Jingzhou because Jingzhou was shattered after war, and all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, but now, under our years of governance, Jingzhou has had bumper grain harvests year after year, commerce and trade have prospered, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it has become a rich land again." ”

Liu Bei spoke: "Zhuge Junshi said very reasonably, not only the local grain harvest in Jingzhou, even if there is a war, the grain storage is tight, and it is also very convenient to transport grain reinforcements from Yizhou by water, and there is very little loss on the road, and when the troops are increased, it can also avoid the fatigue of the soldiers." ”

"I, I've been in Yizhou for many years, and I don't know much about Jingzhou anymore." Pang was not able to completely abandon his original idea when he was unified.

Liu Bei understood: "What does Zhuge Junshi mean, is it that we want to shift the direction of our main attack to Jingzhou in the future?" ”

Ge Liang said: "Exactly, my lord, this time General Guan attacked Xiangyang and Fancheng, the Central Plains shook, and the people from all over Nanyang responded, and Cao Cao was so frightened that he wanted to move the capital......"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Bei was about to get angry again: "It's all Sun Quan, a dog thief, who caused us to give up halfway, if we knew this, we should have sent another army here, the enemy Sun Quan in the east, and Yun Chang in the north!" ”

Fa Zheng hurriedly said: "Didn't the lord just say that he had recaptured Xiakou?" ”

Ge Liang continued: "This time, the world shook, and all parts of the country responded, which reminded me even more. If you can directly take Xudu, or take Luoyang, Tokyo, and wave your arms, wouldn't it be a hundred responses, and the world will return to the heart? ”

Pang Tong and Fa Zheng are silent, and if they want to change their plans for many years, they need to think about it.

"Shiyuan, filial piety, don't you know that the king of Hanzhong has been ruling in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou for many years. If you fight back by the same route, you will win the hearts of the people and be familiar with the geographical advantages, wouldn't it be easier than sending troops out of Hanzhong? "Ge Liang is talking to Pang Tong and them in the open, but secretly he is seducing Liu Bei.

Who said that heroes don't mention the courage of the year, when he talked about the year, Liu Bei was even more excited.

Yes, I Liu Bei has been running around for many years, traveling all over the place, but because of bad luck, I was forced by Cao Cao all the way, just trying to escape, and now I have the land of two states, and the strategists are gathered, why can't I fight back from the original road in a beautiful way, and take back the place that Cao Cao robbed back then?

Pang Tong and Fa Zheng thought about it, why did they have to learn from Han Gaozu's practice, he didn't have such a good Jingzhou at that time.

Why can't you start from Jingzhou and directly compete for the Central Plains from the beginning, why do you have to kill it from Chang'an?

"It's just that, with our current strength, we are attacked on both sides and directly attack in the Central Plains, is it too early?" This is Pang Tong's concern.

Ge Liang said with a smile: "Jiangdong has suffered heavy losses in this battle, many generals have been killed, the whole region is shaken, there must be continuous civil strife, we must be in a hurry to protect ourselves in the short term, and we will definitely not be able to send troops to Jingzhou in the short term, besides, haven't we already occupied Xiakou?" Could it be that we are not even as good as Huang Zu? ”

"Huh? Ha ha! Pang Tong stopped arguing and laughed. (To be continued.) )
