Zhang Yuan's gaze, following what Li Si pointed to, locked on the map where Yuan Shang's sphere of influence was.

"Among the six heroes, Yuan Shang is the weakest and the easiest to destroy. And although Yuan Shang's sphere of influence is remote and barren, it is connected to Liangzhou in the east and Guanzhong in the west, which is really a critical place. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded slightly and motioned for Li Si to continue.

Li Si's hand pointed in the direction of Liangzhou, "If our army can capture Yuan Shang's sphere of influence, we can divide our troops into two ways to form a flank attack on Liangzhou from the west and south, and then we can bypass Liu Bei's Yijing defense line." ”

Then, he pointed in the direction of Guanzhong, "To the west, we can capture Hedong County and capture Puban Pass, and then we can attack Li from Tongguan, Wuguan, and Puban Pass at the same time, which will increase the chance of entering Guanzhong." ”

After some analysis, Li Si bowed his hand to Zhang Yuanyi, "Therefore, considering the pros and cons of the gains and losses, I think that our army should destroy Yuan Shang first, and then destroy Liu Bei or Cao Cao, as for the three heroes in the south, they can stay after unifying the north, and it is not too late to clean them up." ”

Zhang Yuan stood in front of the map, his eagle eyes moving up and down, pondering Li Si's strategy.

Weighing Zhang Jiu, Zhang Yuan happily slapped the case, "Very good, according to Li Si's plan, let's start with Yuan Shang, the remnant of the Yuan family." ”

On the same day, the plan was decided, and Zhang Yuan then issued an edict from the king of Zhou, ordering the armies to make secret preparations, and the prefectures and counties in various prefectures and counties transferred grain and grass to the border direction of Yuan Shang's sphere of influence, and prepared to use troops against Yuan Shang.

Time passed day by day, the autumn grain in all states has been put into the warehouse, under the effect of the talent of the son of heaven, the states under the command of Zhang Yuan are smooth wind and rain, the grain is once again harvested, and the granaries are full.

Zhang Yuan's edict was handed down, and Zhang Juzheng and other states assassinated the history, and under the unified dispatch of Guan Zhong, they continuously transported grain and grass to Jizhou.

The so-called soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, Zhang Yuan only waited for the grain and grass to be assembled, and Keri sent troops to Yuan Shang's sphere of influence.

It's the day, Yecheng, Zhou Wangfu.

In the main hall, Zhang Yuanzheng and the princes stood in front of the huge map, pointing and discussing how to march into Yuan Shang's sphere of influence.

"Report," a member of his own soldiers rushed in, and shouted: "King Zhou, make an urgent report from the north, Liu Bei has gathered an army of 30,000 cavalry, and has gone south from Jicheng to Yijing, with great intentions to invade our territory." ”

On the main hall, all the expressions changed, and the look of surprise appeared in their eyes.

"His grandmother's, what's the situation with this old thief Liu, we haven't gone to settle accounts with him, he is good, he dares to take the initiative to offend us, did he eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall." Li Dingguo was the first to scold in annoyance.

"Liu Bei knew that the strength of this king was stronger than him, but he still dared to take the initiative to attack, Liu Lao Thief was only afraid that he would not be so stupid" Zhang Yuan looked in the direction of Liangzhou, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

Just when Zhang Yuan and everyone were suspicious, one after another personal soldiers entered one after another, sending emergencies from all directions.

"Report, Guanzhong urgently report, Cao Cao led 50,000 Zhao troops from Chang'an, intending to go east out of Tongguan, and the soldiers committed my Hangu Pass."

"King Zhou, urgent intelligence in Liangzhou, Han Sui has led 30,000 Fujian troops across the Han River, intending to invade my Nanyang line."

"Report, Shouchun urgent report, Jiangdong Sun Ce raised 40,000 Wu troops again, crossed the Yangtze River, and the soldiers pointed directly at the land of Huainan."

"Yuan Shang's sphere of influence is urgent, Yuan Shang has led 10,000 Vietnamese troops from Yueyang to the south, and the forward has entered Huguan, which seems to have the intention of offending my Hanoi County."

Four urgent reports were made in a row, and they were sent into the palace one after another, and the civil and military ministers in the hall all looked shocked.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan did not send troops to destroy Yuan Shang, his enemies actually took the lead, and the enemies of the five countries actually sent troops at the same time and launched an attack on his Great Zhou from five directions at the same time.

"The five countries joined forces to attack my Great Zhou, as I expected"

Zhang Yuan's brows furrowed, but the corners of his mouth only raised a sarcastic sneer, and his reaction was not as fierce as that of the ministers, obviously expecting this.

These civil and military generals of the Zhou Kingdom have all experienced the test of blood and fire, and they have never encountered any kind of crisis, and after only a moment of shock, they all calmed down.

"It is no coincidence that the five countries are sending troops almost at the same time, this must be someone secretly lobbying behind the scenes, and the five countries will send troops at the same time to attack our Great Zhou." Gao Gong poured the wine in the gourd and sneered.

Lobbying in the shadows

Zhang Yuandao's eyebrows froze, and he shouted: "Count the dates of several pieces of information, and see which enemy sent troops first." ”

The ministers compared the five pieces of information repeatedly, and found that it was Liu Bei from Liangzhou, who was the first to make the move.

"From this point of view, Liu Bei must be the behind-the-scenes leader of the alliance of the five countries, so he must send troops first to show his sincerity, and the other four countries will follow him to send troops one after another." Lees nodded and judged.

"Liu Bei, this old thief Liu, he never has the courage." Zhang Yuan snorted coldly, brushed his hands and shouted: "You can find out who is making suggestions for Liu Bei." ”

Touching the dragon hurriedly said: "King Zhou, the dragon's fine work has been investigated, it is a young strategist named Zhuge Kongming, who gives advice to Liu Bei. This person was originally Yuan Shang's sphere of influence, and he had taken refuge in Liangzhou, but he didn't know what to do, so he went all the way to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also obeyed this Zhuge Kongming. ”

Zhuge Liang, sure enough, it's him

Zhang Yuan had previously suspected that with Liu Bei's resourcefulness, it would never be strong enough to play Yuan Shao and Gao Gan in the palm of his hand, and use the fight between the two to easily steal Liangzhou.

He had a hunch at that time that the wise man behind Liu Bei was probably Zhuge Liang, but he didn't expect him to guess correctly.

"I ran all the way from Liangzhou to Liangzhou, just to help Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang, it seems that you have been secretly open to Liu Lao Thief early in the morning."

When Zhang Yuan secretly sighed in his heart, Li Dingguo was already anxiously shouting: "King Zhou, Liu Lao Thief has colluded with so many people to deal with us, what should we do now." ”

"What should I do, do I still use it?"

Zhang Yuan suddenly turned around, the aura of the king who dominated the slaughter, burst into flames, drew his knife in his hand, Han Feng pointed directly at the map, and said proudly: "Do my best to defeat the thieves of the five countries, but it's just a chicken, a dog."

At that moment, Zhang Yuan issued an edict from the king of Zhou, announcing that he would use all the troops of the Great Zhou to resist the attack of the Five Nations Alliance.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan's goal was not only to repel the attack of the Five Nations Alliance, but also to conquer Yuan Shang's sphere of influence and destroy Yuan Shang.
