CHAPTER 48 Pre-War Planning

After arranging Liu Qi and establishing a support point for the future defense of Jingzhou, Ge Liang must also consider other aspects, Cao Cao's army of more than 200,000 people attacked, and Jingzhou had so many surrender factions, it was too dangerous to rely on the support of Jiangling and Jiangxia.

The "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" recorded the original Jingzhou generals to sort out, Ge Liang found an important person, that is, Li Yan, who led the troops stationed in Zigui at this time, although this person finally harbored selfish shirking responsibility and was abolished by Zhuge Liang, but he led 5,000 county soldiers to quell many rebellions, and the military command ability is absolutely superior, and the most important thing is that the book records that he led his troops to defect to Liu Zhang when Cao Cao entered Jingzhou, that is to say, he didn't want to face Cao Cao at all, this is a military force that must be explored as soon as possible, and when the time comes, Zigui and JianglingJiangxia formed three bases that echoed each other from afar, and it was more promising to win the battle to defend Jingzhou.

Of course, by then, Liu Zhang has already surrendered to Cao Cao and returned food to the soldiers, then Li Yan will be attacked from both sides, and someone is needed here to persuade Liu Zhang to watch from the wall for the time being, who will he send? It is recorded in the book that Liu Zhang had a good impression of Jian Yong, and then he had to let him give it a try.

As for Jiangxia City, it is in contact with Sun Quan's forces, but there is not much to worry about for a while, but whether that guy is willing to form an alliance to deal with Cao Cao or just watch the excitement at that time, he may still need to have a good talk with him, anyway, Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others have already memorized the analysis of Cao Jun before the Battle of Chibi.

There is also an ally that can be contacted, Ge Liang has not forgotten, although the rebellion of Lujiang Lei Xu and Chen Lan and others occurred more than a year after the Battle of Chibi, their dissatisfaction with Cao Cao's rule can be stimulated earlier, rebellion, of course, it is the easiest to produce results when Cao Cao's main force is completely consumed in the rear of Jingzhou, isn't it? It's just that if you want to move them to revolt in time, you need someone who can convince them to do it, and those local heroes who like to denounce them by force may not be very appetizing to the ordinary literati, who should they go?

The next day, when everyone was discussing together, Ge Liang tried to ask Liu Bei about someone: "May I ask my lord, is there a person named Wei Yan among our sergeants?" ”

Liu Bei hadn't noticed it yet, and asked Ge Liang: "What kind of person is this, why did the military advisor suddenly mention him?" ”

Ge Liang shook his fan: "This person is Yiyang, I heard earlier when I was at home that this person is brave and resolute, and he acts decisively and boldly, the lord has recruited a lot of subordinates during this time, I just want to see if he will come." ”

Liu Bei is actively network talents, if there is really such a person who has not been discovered in his army, it would be a pity, so he said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Why don't we investigate?" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard Ge Liang's boasting of someone's martial arts, and they also wanted to see what kind of character it was, so they nodded, and went out to check the register of soldiers, and soon brought back the news: "Yes, this person is registered on the register and is now a chief." ”

Ge Liangle is broken, fortunately, he is not still in Xiangyang City as said in the romance, but is already under the account of Liu Bei in Fancheng, haha, that must be promoted in advance! Liu Bei, Liu Bei, I'm really sorry, this time I robbed you of the opportunity to show that you are good at recognizing people, don't be surprised.

Wei Yan was ordered to come to the hall and see everyone. Liu Bei saw that this person had a red face, a curly beard, a strong body, a pair of big eyes that were firm and focused, and a proud spirit that could not be concealed, and he immediately liked it, and asked Ge Liang: "The military advisor specially wants to see this person, I don't know what the purpose is?" ”

"This--lord, I want to have a small team of dozens of people, so that I can deal with urgent matters in the future, I don't know if this is okay?" Ge Liang didn't want to tell Liu Bei what he thought for the time being.

"Absolutely!" Liu Bei had absolute trust in Zhuge Liang, "This Wei Yan Zhuang, then how about you take your twenty subordinates and obey the dispatch of the military advisor?" Otherwise, I'll send you a few dozen more people to get you promoted to team leader. ”

Liu Bei really had a relationship with Wei Yan, and he was promoted when they met!

Wei Yan had long been looking forward to the opportunity to perform well, and today the lord and military advisor were so appreciative that they suddenly felt that the future was immeasurable, and immediately thanked Liu Bei and Ge Liang, expressing their willingness to repay the kindness of their acquaintance.

After returning home, Ge Liang roughly told Huang Yue about his thoughts. Huang Yue was surprised: "You actually promoted Wei Yan?" Didn't Zhuge Liang say that as soon as he saw Wei Yan, he said that he had a backbone and wanted to kill him, didn't they always be enemies, and in the end, Zhuge Liang decided to kill Wei Yan? ”

Ge Liang shook his head busily: "What is the back of the head, that is all a statement in the romance, in fact, Zhuge Liang also appreciates Wei Yan's martial arts, and later mentioned Wei Yan's official position above all the generals." Zhuge Liang is just cautious, afraid that Wei Yan will be too bold and make his own decisions and do bad things. Wei Yan only wanted to make great contributions and disagreed with others before he had an accident, he didn't want to defect to the enemy. I'm not really Zhuge Liang, and now I need someone who has the courage to do something weird to complete my design. Well, it's someone like Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword". ”

Huang Yue asked, "Why can't you let someone like Zhao Yun who is cautious and strong in martial arts do it?" ”

Ge Liang has difficulties: "To be honest, just like the butterfly effect you said, as long as Liu Bei is not caught up by Cao Jun on the way to escape, everything will change, I don't know what will happen, I can't draw people from Liu Bei's side, he himself can't be busy when he arrives, and for the time being, I can't tell Liu Bei what will happen in the future." Because to be honest, I think if Liu Bei intervenes too early when he learns that Liu Cong will surrender, it will be more dangerous when there are more people in Jingzhou, who knows if someone will suddenly defect when Cao's army is pressing? I'm afraid that if it's messy, it's out of control. ”

"Can we just watch him surrender and then we can only flee for our lives?" Huang Yue felt unwilling.

Ge Liang was also embarrassed for a long time before he made up his mind: "Liu Cong's coercion and surrender cannot be stopped at all, and Jingzhou is actually not up to him." ”

Huang Yue felt pity when he thought of Nagasaka's death on TV, and said to Ge Liang: "Anyway, I still have to remind you a little earlier." ”

"Of course." Ge Liang had already set the entry point on the road to Jiangling in the south, "By the way, I asked you to think more about the results of the city defense tools?" ”

"Well, I think about it, based on the materials that can be collected and the processing methods that can be used, I can only make some simple and even naΓ―ve things......"
