"The last general has often met Your Majesty in spring!"

Liu Bianxuan often met the spring to go to the palace, and after a while, Chang Yuchun, who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, came to the palace and bowed to Liu Bian. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Hmm!" Liu Wei looked at Chang Yuchun and saw that Chang Yuchun was eight feet five inches tall, looking like a tiger's back and a bear's waist, although his appearance was rough, but his eyebrows were full of wisdom, and he also knew etiquette so well, but he was also calm in such a big scene, Liu Wei nodded with satisfaction and praised sincerely: "It's really a strange man, don't be polite, flat!"

Chang Yuchun took a deep breath, straightened his waist and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"This time, you led 3,000 soldiers and horses to raid Meixian County and capture Liu Fan Pangxi in Yizhou! I will reward you for this great achievement, but I want to hear your thoughts, how did you come up with the idea of sending troops to Meixian? Liu Wei looked at Chang Yuchun and asked.

Liu Wei naturally knew Chang Yuchun's ability, needless to say, force, the first fierce general in the early Ming Dynasty, but Chang Yuchun's commander was also excellent, and that era was only under Xu Da. Liu Wei wanted to reuse Chang Yuchun, but the credit for capturing Liu Fan was a little insufficient, so Liu Wei wanted Chang Yuchun to show his talents, and talk about his strategic thinking in front of these civil and military people.

If he can convince the ministers, with this credit, it is not impossible for Liu Wei to improve Chang Yuchun a little.

After listening to Liu Bian's words, the ministers also understood that Liu Bian wanted to see this Chang Yuchun's ability. Chang Yuchun also understood that Liu Wei was going to test himself, and his expression was a little excited, and then he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the man is alive, and he should make meritorious contributions, and he will naturally be unable to endure loneliness in the end." Although His Majesty is thirsty for talents, he cannot guarantee that everyone can make full use of talents, so the last general took it upon himself to send troops to Meixian County this time, in order to win His Majesty's favor! ”

The motive and purpose of Chang Yuchun's troops in Meixian County is to make meritorious contributions, although these words are practical, but they are justified in the mouth of Chang Yuchun, a bright and upright man. The last general has a talent, but unfortunately His Majesty didn't dig it out and reuse it for me, so the last general can only find an opportunity to make meritorious service by himself.

Chang Yuchun told the truth, Liu Wei naturally didn't get angry, nodded and smiled: "Yes, the man in the world should be worthy of this trip with the goal of making meritorious contributions, and it is inevitable that there will be hundreds of thousands of soldiers under my command who cannot be reused, which is always inevitable!" However, you have taken the initiative to attack without my permission, although you have the courage, but you are not afraid of defeat and loss of troops? ”

"Your Majesty, listen to the general!" Chang Yuchun arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty has arranged more than a month in Chang'an, secretly arranged soldiers and horses, and the defeat of Liu Yan's army in Luoyang is already obvious!" It's just that although Liu Yan's army was defeated, the battlefield was in Chang'an City, and His Majesty was a benevolent monarch who would not sit idly by and watch the battle in the city hurt the people. Therefore, although Liu Yan's army was defeated, his troops and horses would definitely escape from Chang'an! Therefore, the last general thought that if he could set up an ambush on the road of Liu Yan's escape, he would definitely be able to expand the results of the battle, but after all, time was pressing, and His Majesty temporarily transferred troops, and the soldiers and horses were not enough to lay an ambush, so the last general was good at making a claim, going to occupy Meixian County, and cut off the retreat of Liu Yan's army! ”

As soon as Chang Yuchun's words came out, many civil and military officers under his command looked sideways, because what Chang Yuchun said perfectly expressed his strategic vision. Most of the generals on the field, such as Yang Yansi, Xue Andu, and the Xiahou brothers, do not have this strategic vision.

At the beginning, Liu Wei naturally thought of cutting off the retreat of Liu Yan's army, but there was not enough time and troops, so this strategy was abandoned. Unexpectedly, Chang Yuchun only took 3,000 people to complete it.

Liu Wei looked at Wang Meng and the others, only to see Wang Meng, Di Renjie and the others all nodded with satisfaction, it turned out that Chang Yuchun made this contribution, not by luck, but by virtue of his own strategic vision. And Chang Yuchun has such insight, and he suddenly compares His Royal Highness to the generals.

Liu Wei nodded with satisfaction and looked at Chang Yuchun and said: "The name of Chang 100,000, it is really not a boast, you can think of cutting off the back road of Liu Yan's army and taking Meixian County with 3,000 soldiers and horses, which is enough to show that you are extraordinary." Then I will test you, now that there are many princes of the Han Dynasty, I have the intention to sweep away the princes from all walks of life, and you can tell me how to do it! ”

"Then the last will be ugly!" Chang Yuchun arched his hand, organized the language, and said: "Now Your Majesty sits in Guanzhong, Luoyang and half of Liangzhou!" Although the state has been stable for several years, it is barren and not enough to support the war, and Ran Minxiong refuses to be in the Hetao, and there is Temujin eyeing him, and the state can only send troops to defend and develop people's livelihood. ”

"And Liangzhou has a Mongol invasion, although General Cao sent troops to resist at the moment, but the Mongols occupy the Western Regions, and now they can only send heavy troops to station, it is estimated that Liangzhou will be difficult to stabilize in the next few years!"

"Luoyang is the capital of His Majesty, but the surrounding Yuan Shao, Zhao Kuangyin and others have also become the climate, although they are enemies at the moment, but if Your Majesty sends troops to either side, I am afraid they will unite to resist Your Majesty. If you attack Yuan Shao, Zhao Kuangyin will move, and if you attack Zhao Kuangyin, Yuan Shao will move. So Luoyang can't use swords and soldiers in vain! After this war, Liu Yan of Yizhou, south of Chang'an, is probably not in the heart of aggression. However, the road to Shu is difficult, and if Your Majesty wants to enter Yizhou, it is not a good opportunity! ”

As soon as Chang Yuchun's words came out, the generals shook their heads when they heard it, and only Wang Meng, Di Renjie and other wise men nodded in approval. Liu Wei said with a smile: "You said that Liangzhou and the state are mainly defended, Luoyang is the country, and the soldiers and horses of Chang'an cannot attack Yizhou, so you say, which way should I take the princes?"

"Chang'an and Luoyang are connected to Hangu Pass, the people are more than five million, Luoyang can not be moved lightly, but Luoyang can borrow Luoyang's strength in Chang'an. Although Chang'an is not able to move Yizhou, it can be used to attack Yuan Shu! "I often meet the spring arch hand.

"Raiders Yuan Shu?" Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, pretending not to know and chuckled: "Yuan Shu's strength is strong, occupying rich places such as Nanyang and Yuzhou, and he has two or three hundred thousand soldiers under his command, even if he is not much stronger than Zhizhi, why do you advocate attacking Yuan Shu?"

Chang Yuchun replied: "Your Majesty has three points to attack Yuan Shu, and there are three points to win!"

"What is necessary? What is a sure victory? Liu Wei asked with a smile.

"Three musts, one of which is that Yuan Shu secretly swept away the grain and grass of the princes when His Majesty attacked Dong Zhuo, and his heart of disobedience has been revealed! Second, after Yuan Shu returned to Nanyang, he went to the east and the west to fight, and expanded his strength without authorization, which also showed his disobedience. Third, Yuan Shu obtained these three places, not only could not benefit the people, but also expropriated violently, and the people were miserable! If Your Majesty does not send troops, I am afraid that the hearts of the people in this rich land will not be towards Your Majesty, and if the princes send troops to Yuan Shu in advance, their people will help others! With these three points, Your Majesty must attack Yuan Shu first! ”

Liu Wei nodded and said, "What about the three victories?"

"Your Majesty attacked Buchen with the army of benevolence and righteousness, which is the victory of the time. His Majesty sent troops to Wuguan, and the strength gathered into a unit, while Yuan Shu's troops were scattered, and the dispatch was far less than His Majesty's wishes, which could be attacked and defended, and it was a victory for the geographical advantage! Yuan Shu has conquered various places in recent years, and the princes and people hate him, if His Majesty attacks Yuan Shu, the people all open the city to greet him, this is a victory for people and people! ”

"Your Majesty has these three must fight, and there is a time of day, the place is favorable, and the people help each other, and you must send troops to Yuan Shu!" After Chang Yuchun finished speaking, he arched his hand and looked at Liu Wei.

After Chang Yuchun finished speaking, at this time, all the generals in the hall looked at him with great surprise, Xue An looked at Chang Yuchun in amazement and said, "Old Chang, I didn't expect you to have such knowledge?" If I had known that you weren't bragging, I should have recommended you to Your Majesty! ”

A group of Wenchen looked at Chang Yuchun and praised it. Liu Wei laughed and said: "Haha, that's a good point, you must fight these three, and as soon as you say it, I can't fight Yuan Shu even if I don't beat it, what do you think?"

Wang Meng took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Captain Chang said is reasonable. At the beginning, the strategy set by His Majesty and his ministers was to contain the Central Plains with the momentum of Qingyou's horns, and Chang'an sent troops to Wuguan, if it weren't for the rebellion in Chang'an, I'm afraid we would have sent troops to attack Yuan Shu! ”

"Yes, right now, the strength of Yuan Shao in Hebei and Zhao Kuangyin in Yanzhou cannot be underestimated. Although His Majesty has a layout, once he sends troops, he will be deeply trapped in it, and he can only let them fight each other and wait for an opportunity for a short time. And Yuan Shu is wreaking havoc in Huainan at the moment, and there is no help, it seems to be powerful, but it is actually strong and strong! Now there is only an attack on Yuan Shu! Di Renjie also bowed.

Everyone spoke, only Guo Jia didn't say a word, Liu Wei looked at Guo Jia and smiled: "What about Fengxiao?" What's in the matter? ”

"The words have been finished by several adults, and His Majesty has also decided to attack Yuan Shu in his heart, what else does Weichen have to say? However, since His Majesty has decided to attack Yuan Shu, the minister can only talk about the future direction! Guo Jia shook his head and smiled.

"Well, let's hear it!"

"With the power of Chang'an and Luoyang, the strategy is to send troops to attack Nanyang, cut off Yuan Shu, and use Luoyang, Qingzhou, and Youzhou to balance Yuan Shao and Zhao Kuangyin! Wait for the day to be in Dinghebei, and gradually sweep the Central Plains! Guo Jia arched his hand and said.

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Liu Wei's thoughts were like a tide, compared to Yuan Shu, now Yuan Shao occupies Jizhou, which is the first in the world, and Zhao Kuangyin occupies Yanzhou, Zhao Kuangyin's defeat of Yuan Shao last year has proved his strength. Although these two princes were only enemies of one state, they were indeed the most troublesome. With Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and even Luoyang, any single attack is not enough to pacify. And once united, Zhao Kuangyin and Yuan Shao will also unite. At that time, Hebei will fall into a quagmire, and the outcome is not known.

Use Luoyang Qingzhou to balance Zhao Kuangyin and Yuan Shao, so that they can't act rashly. In concentrating wealth, first take the rich land of Nanyang, and slowly cut off Yuan Shu. When the time comes, surrounded on all sides, Yuan Shao and Zhao Kuangyin will not have to worry.

Liu Wei pondered for a moment and understood the strategy of unifying the Han Dynasty, and then he looked at Chang Yuchun and said, "Chang Yuchun, since you proposed to attack Yuan Shu, how about I make you a pioneer?"

"The last general is willing to be the first to enter the battle for His Majesty, and he will never give up!"

"Good! Often meet spring to hear the seal! I named you a partial general, and went to Wuguan to replace Yang Zaixing! Now there are 10,000 soldiers and horses in Wuguan. Yuan Shu ravaged Nanyang, tens of thousands of people fled into Wuguan in recent years, and you can be strong in it, expanding the army to 30,000! Train your troops well, and when everything in Chang'an is calmed down, I will make you the vanguard and attack Yuan Shu! Liu Wei said.

Originally, Chang'an had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, which was ready to attack Yuan Shu, but only when the great enemy of Mongolia came, Cao Cao and others had to be stationed in Longxi all day long. and its permanent garrison of 50,000 men and horses. And in the direction of the Slope Valley and the Meridian Valley, additional troops and horses should be sent to defend Yizhou. If you want to attack Yuan Shu, you can only expand the army now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! It's just that the last general will not slack off in the end, and I ask Your Majesty to choose a deputy general for the last general to assist the last general! "I often meet the spring arch hand.

"Adjutant general?" Liu Wei pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "Yes, the former Yizhou raided Chang'an, and there was a person who was brave and extraordinary, how about I send him as your deputy general?"

Gan Ning, the person Liu Wei thought of was naturally the future fierce general of Eastern Wu, Gan Ning Gan Xingba. Although Gan Ning didn't want to surrender to Liu Wei before, with the books, Gan Ning knew that the family couldn't stop Liu Bian's road to hegemony, and he was willing to join Liu Wei in his heart.
