Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin said it lightly, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself, Liu Yu suddenly felt disgusted in his heart.

"They say that on the side of the couch, how can others sleep soundly? After the annihilation of Zhu Yuanzhang's army, Yongzhou is now regarded as a bag by Brother Zhao, right? The younger brother followed Brother Zhao to Yongzhou to Yangren, and his snort was not tight, but if Brother Zhao was afraid that it would be difficult to sleep and eat on his back, it would not be good! Liu Yu stroked the beard on his chin and replied with a gun and a stick.

Hearing Liu Yu's unkind tone, Zhao Kuangyin's face changed slightly: "What do you mean by Brother Deyu?" It's not that my brother and I are gloating, who would have thought that the road to Yin Ping would be so difficult? At the current speed, when we get out of the lofty mountains of Bashu, I am afraid that Liu Wei will already be in Hanzhong City. If Hanzhong is lost, brother, you have nowhere to go, if you don't follow me to Yongzhou, will it be difficult to surrender to Han? ”

Liu Yu strode to the door of the handsome tent, and pointed to the south in the cold wind: "Turn around and go south, kill Liu Wei and return to the pistol!" ”

"Kill a carbine?" Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu both showed surprise when they heard this, they didn't expect Liu Yu to have such a thought, "In case there are heavy troops stationed in Chengdu, wouldn't it be a trip in vain, not to mention affecting the morale of the army and delaying the fighter." If the Han army takes Hanzhong, it can sweep Yongliang, and then we will not even have the last foothold. ”

Liu Yu clasped his arms in front of his chest, let his beard flutter in the cold wind, and said solemnly: "I have no way out now, I can only die and live." In case Liu Bianzhen comes out of the nest and goes north to fight for Hanzhong, we can take advantage of the weakness to enter, take Chengdu, and turn the tide in the collapse of the building in the general! ”

Zhao Pu persuaded bitterly: "General Deyu, your feelings are universally sympathetic, after all, you have been operating in Hanzhong for many years, which is the foundation of your foothold." But Liu Wei used his troops well, and his subordinates were gathered, how could he reveal such a big flaw? Besides, there is Mianzhu in the north of Chengdu, Liu Wei does not need to leave too many soldiers and horses, 20,000 is enough! ”

"What Zeping said is that Liu Wei only needs to leave 20,000 horses to garrison Mianzhu, and he can block my 100,000 horses for at least a month." Zhao Kuangyin looked displeased and expressed dissatisfaction with Liu Yu's sudden change of hexagram.

Liu Yu looked categorical: "The concerns of the two are not unreasonable, but I, Liu Yu, am not reckless. During the confrontation with the Han army, I have ordered my soldiers to dig several secret tunnels into Mianzhu City in the secret place north of Mianzhu Pass, just in case of emergency. Now it can come in handy, taking advantage of the time when Liu Bian's army is heading north, sneak attack Mianzhu and knock directly on Chengdu! ”

"What? Liu Deyu, you secretly dug a tunnel in Mianzhu? ”

As soon as Liu Yu's voice fell, not only Zhao Kuangyin was taken aback, but also Zhao Pu, Chang Yuchun, Zhou Yafu and others present were also dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu's mind was so meticulous, and his actions were so hidden, and he unknowingly dug up several secret tunnels under everyone's noses, but everyone was unaware.

Liu Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of pride: "Yes, during the days when Mianzhu was stationed in the confrontation with the Han army, I ordered my soldiers to secretly dig a few tunnels and hide them at the exit, which is difficult to find if you don't pay attention to it." If there are only about 20,000 troops stationed in Mianzhu Pass, our army can quietly enter the city and recapture Mianzhu in one fell swoop. ”

"Ahh......h General Liu Deyu's ability to take precautions really made the last general's admiration for the five bodies to the ground! Zhou Yafu saluted Liu Yu with his fists and was convinced, "If Mianzhuguan really has 20,000 horses and horses stationed, then Chengdu will definitely not have many troops." Thinking that Liu Wei will definitely take advantage of the fact that our army is blocked in Yinping, he will go north to attack Jiange, and strive to take Hanzhong before our army goes out of Bashu. ”

Liu Yu looked at Zhao Kuangyin with firm eyes: "Brother Zhao, the art of war is 'put to death and then live', I, Liu Yu, have no way back, so I can only give it a go and lead the men and horses of the headquarters to kill a horse gun." If it succeeds, it can turn the tide, and if it fails, so will it be! I wonder if Brother Zhao is willing to help me? ”

Listening to Liu Yu's words, Zhao Kuangyin fell into hesitation, his eyes were slightly closed, and he muttered secretly, making it difficult to make a decision for a while.

Although Zhu Di is currently defending Hanzhong, it is estimated that Liu Wei's army will soon be able to break through the Sword Pavilion and join the Guan Yu army under the city of Hanzhong. At that time, it will only be a matter of time before Hanzhong is lost, and the worse situation is that Zhu Di is very likely to take the initiative to abandon Hanzhong, retreat to Chencang Pass, the barrier in the west of Chang'an, and defend Chang'an, Xijing. In a hurry, compared with the desolate and barren and sparsely populated Yongliang, the Western Han regime, which was still breathing, would definitely defend Chang'an and Luoyang and make the final struggle.

The terrain of Chencang is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the difficulty of breaking through is not under Mianzhu and Sword Pavilion.

At that time, Yongliang will have no danger to defend, nearly 200,000 Han troops will flock into the country, and the cities of Tianshui, Longxi, and Guangwei mastered by Zhao Kuangyin are not tall, and they are even inferior to Hanzhong City.

"Brother Deyu, what do you think of this? Our troops are divided into two routes, you lead the headquarters of 30,000 horses, brother, I will allocate another 20,000 troops to you, and order Chang Mao to lead the team to turn south with you, and kill Chengdu with a horse gun? ”

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a moment and put forward a plan that was most beneficial to himself. In this way, he can have two choices, and if Liu Yu's plan is successful, he can also get a piece of the pie and get the greatest benefits. If Liu Yu's plan fails, his core framework is still there, and he can retreat to Yongzhou to keep it, and if he can't hold it, he will flow westward into Liangzhou, and even go to the grassland to engage in guerrilla warfare with the Han army.

Afraid that Liu Yu would not accept his proposal, Zhao Kuangyin took Liu Yu's hand with a smile and explained: "Brother, your trick of concealing the world and crossing the sea really makes my brother admire, but I am afraid that Liu Wei has a heavy army stationed in Chengdu, or the tunnels of Mianzhu have been exposed. And my brother and I led the army to continue north, get out of the mountains and mountains of Bashu as soon as possible, and it is best to reach the battlefield before Hanzhong is lost; If Hanzhong is not protected, my brother will defend Tianshui and Longyou, and wait for you to come back, so that we also have a way out, right? ”

Liu Yu can naturally guess Zhao Kuangyin's mind at a glance, but Zhao Kuangyin's willingness to allocate 20,000 horses to himself is already an excellent result, with the help of these 20,000 horses and Chang Mao, his confidence in sneaking up on Mianzhu and taking Chengdu will increase significantly.

And what Zhao Kuangyin said also has a certain truth, if his plan fails, there is still a way out. Although the loss of the old nest Hanzhong will make him a rootless Ping, panic like a lost dog, but it is better to die than to live, as long as there are soldiers and horses in his hands, there is hope for a comeback.

"What my brother said is reasonable, without further ado, we will divide our troops tomorrow. My brother continued to lead the army north, and I raised 50,000 troops to the south and attacked Mianzhu Pass. If you are lucky enough, you may be able to take Chengdu, and when the time comes, you will be able to cut off Liu Wei's retreat and attack from the north and south, maybe you will be able to survive in a desperate situation! Liu Yu stretched out his strong and powerful hand and shook it vigorously with Zhao Kuangyin, and said in a deep voice.

After the cooperation in the past few years, the two founding emperors who can be regarded as civil and military can be regarded as sympathetic to each other, although sometimes there are occasional contradictions, but they can always be quickly resolved and find the same goal. Therefore, when other princes were wiped out by the Han army one after another, these two inconspicuous low-level figures slowly rose and stood tenaciously on the stage of hegemony.

At this moment, the scouts sent by Liu Yu in advance hurriedly whipped up from the direction of Zitong, and returned after seven or eight days of effort, and after entering the account, they handed over their hands and reported: "Lord Qi, villains, etc. have been observing Zitong for many days, in addition to Xu Huang's team, there is also a team following behind, under the banners of Sun, Zhao, Wu and so on. Look at the flag fluttering, the smoke and dust, it is estimated that it is at least about sixty or seventy thousand horses! ”

Liu Yu high-fived and laughed: "Haha...... Sure enough, as I expected, this Liu Wei really went north. Xu Huang's front army had 30,000 or 40,000 people, and Sun Wu led another 60,000 or 70,000 in the back, so it is estimated that the Han army guarding Mianzhu and Chengdu did not exceed 30,000. If there are 20,000 defenders in Mianzhu Pass, then the defenders in Chengdu City will not exceed 10,000! ”

Zhao Pu asked the scout with a vigilant face: "Have you ever seen Huang Luo's umbrella cover or Liu Wei's chariot?" ”

"If you go back to the adult, the villain has been observing for many days, but he has not found the emperor's whereabouts." The scout clasped his fist at Zhao Pu and saluted, according to the truth.

Zhao Pu frowned and groaned: "Strange, since the Han army is pouring north, why didn't Liu Wei accompany him?" ”

Liu Yu said decisively: "Maybe Liu Wei was afraid of the cold weather, or maybe he relaxed his vigilance after seeing our army retreating, so he neither drove the expedition nor left a heavy army to garrison." In short, no matter what, this time I have to lead my troops to kill a horse pistol, whether it is success or failure, I must not look ahead and backward, and miss the opportunity! ”

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "It's a pity that Mianzhu Pass was guarded by the Han army, and there were no idle people waiting for the crossing, and the spies we sent to Chengdu have not sent back the news so far, and I don't know the truth in Chengdu." Therefore, Brother Deyu, you must be cautious along the way, and don't be greedy for merit! ”

Liu Yu thanked him: "Thank you brother for reminding me, along the way, the younger brother will meet the opportunity to act, and you and General Chang will wait for my good news!" ”

In the early morning of the next day, in the sound of whimpering horns, 100,000 coalition soldiers divided into two routes, Zhao Kuangyin and Chang Yuchun took Ju Wuba and Ruan Weng Zhong to continue to march in Yinping, while Liu Yu took Chang Mao and Zhou Yafu to lead 50,000 horses to turn south and kill a horse gun towards Mianzhu Pass.
