In the autumn of the eighth year of Jian'an, 203 A.D. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In this year, the Eastern Han Dynasty gradually went into decline and the final split. A turbulent and heroic era is looming.

Following the defeat of Yuan Shaoguandu, he died in shame and resentment for the second year. After Yuan Shao's death, he made a false testament and supported Yuan Shang as the heir, but Yuan Tan could not succeed to the throne and was resentful. Later, the contradiction between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang broke out completely, and Yuan Tan and Cao Cao jointly attacked Yuan Shang.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fought for power, turning Jizhou upside down. Yuan Tan sent Xin Bi to Cao Cao for help, but when Xin Bi met with Cao Cao, he suggested that Cao Cao should use this opportunity to annex Hebei. So Cao Cao took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, besieged Yecheng, and broke Nanpi City.

Cao Cao was preparing for the unification of the north. So, what is Lu Bu doing?

After several years of development, the people of Chang'an are prosperous. Liu Pigong, who was wandering in the Luoyang area, continuously plundered the population near Jingzhou and Xuchang to Chang'an, and the total population of Chang'an reached one million, and it was thriving.

Since last year, Lu Bu returned from visiting the people, convicted Wu Xi, and Chang'an was in turmoil. Wu Xi is the highest general to fall since Lu Buding Chang'an, implicating countless military and political officials. Chang'an was subjected to violent turmoil, and everyone in the military and government was panicked.

After several years of internal purging, Chang'an has gradually become an iron plate with one heart and one mind.

"General, the lower officials think that the interior is already stable, the grain is in the warehouse, and the treasury is full, it is the time to regroup, fight on the battlefield again, and sweep the first. Otherwise, the knife is rusty, and the strong man is comfortable. As the old saying goes: Gentle Township Hero's Grave. Die in peace. The first civil official stepped out of the ranks, and he was arrogant: "The lower officials ask for battle, and the commander will go to the battle!" ”

Lu Bu was preparing for the expedition, but he hadn't mentioned the itinerary yet. To his surprise, the first person who couldn't sit still was not the general, but him, a civil official.

De Jong had a point. It's just that Chang'an's government affairs are inseparable from you, and there are other candidates for the expedition. ”

Zhang is not only a good hand in internal affairs, but also good at strategy, but the army is full of generals, and Zhang Ji is in command of the expedition, which is a bit of abandoning the strengths and weaknesses.

"Where do you think it's better to use soldiers?"

"Hanzhong! Hanzhong has a solid population, Zhang Lu has provoked several times, and he has exterminated my majesty! "Wei

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Yan took the lead in expressing his position. He was in charge of the southern front, and of course he hoped to use troops in Hanzhong first so that he could make great contributions.

"Not really. Hanzhong is far away from the mountains and mountains, and the mountains and rivers block it, and the grain and grass supply route makes our army miserable, and if there is a slight mistake here, our army will consume grain and grass in vain, and it will not be able to achieve an inch. In the opinion of the last general, we should first destroy the sky and water horses, relieve the worries, and then go south to Hanzhong and Yizhou. As soon as Wei Yan's voice fell, Huang Zhong, as the general of Zhengxi, took the lead in refuting.

The two bigwigs in the west and south expressed their positions, and Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao as the general of Zhengdong. Zhang Liao had no intention of fighting for military power, and said in all fairness: "What General Huang said is reasonable, and the last general seconded it." ”

Wei Yan looked at Zhang Xiu, although Zhang Xiu was a general of Zhenbei, one level lower than the three of them, he was still a big man, as long as Zhang Xiu supported him, he would have a tie with Huang Zhong. Zhang Xiu looked at Jia Xu......

For a moment, the hall was surprisingly quiet.

"The last general also thinks that General Huang is reasonable." Gao Shun saw Wei Yan looking at him with a pleading gaze, and said. Gao Shun, as the second general of Chang'an, is known as the general of the town army, although he seems to be the same generation as Zhang Xiu's general of Zhenbei, but he has actually thrown off several levels, Gao Shun is equivalent to the governor of Lu Bu, and he commanded the three armies.

The generals supported the Western Expedition, and the strategists seemed to mean the same, Wei Yan could only roll back to his position and sit down.

Lu Bu glanced around, and saw that he agreed with Huang Zhong's proposal, and his intention was also to crusade against Xiliang, a hidden danger left over from history, and he was uneasy.

"In this way, the old general will come up with a charter as soon as possible."

Huang Zhong stepped forward and replied, as if he had been prepared: "At the end of last year, I was thinking deeply about the strategy of breaking Xiliang." It is known that the ancients fought wars, and they used to increase the number of troops and reduce the number of troops and increase the number of places. The last general thought that he might as well increase his troops to the west and reduce the number of foci, and reduce the troops and increase the foci in Sanguan and Xiegu, so that the generals of Xiliang thought that the general wanted to use troops in Hanzhong. ”

Hearing Huang Zhong's plan, Lu Bu was full of black lines. Isn't this the fable of 'The Wolf Comes'? Poor Zhang Lu has been teased countless times in recent years, the most typical two times are when Lu Bu threatened to attack Hanzhong when he entered Chang'an; During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao sent people to Hanzhong to spread rumors, plus this time, will Zhang Lu go crazy? The next time the army really crushes Hanzhong, will he express his disbelief?

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) "The Xiliang forces are not Ma Chao, such as Yongzhou Thorn Shi Handan Shang, Wuwei is too shou Zhang Meng, Dunhuang is too shou Ma Ai, and Jincheng is too shou Su Ze...... Xiqiang King Cheriji, Caohan Qiang King Song Jian and other forces, where should we attack first? ”

Chen Gong knew that this problem was a bit difficult for Huang Zhong, as a martial artist, it was not easy to come up with a clever plan, and it was more ferocious than asking for his life to peel off the cocoon from so many forces and analyze them one by one.

Chen Gong got up and relieved Huang Zhong and said: "Ma Chao, this person, fought with Zhao Ang in Qishan for a long time, but the battle became more and more fierce, and the combat power was not only not consumed, but increased. The palace thought that if he wanted to attack Xiliang, he would attack Jincheng first, destroy Handan Shang, attack Wuwei, clear the Yumen Pass, and then detour to Tianshui, and Ma Chao would become a turtle in the urn. ”

Chen Gong's strategy was to give up close to Guanlongdao, go around Longshan from afar and take Xiaoguan Road, take a big circle, and fight back against Ma Chao. Xiaoguan Road is Chang'an's gateway to the Western Regions.
