A towering Jinling City, in the heavy snow in winter, wrapped in a thick layer of silver, looks more chic.

Forbidden City.

Military Aircraft Pavilion.

In the spacious conference hall, a warm stove was lit, and a group of military ministers, staff officers of various departments, and high-level officials of various departments gathered together.

"What, more than 200,000 soldiers of the two legions, and the main force of the Wei army actually ran away?"

"How can you let them run?"

"If you can't annihilate their main force, this battle will be a failure!"

"They should all be court-martialed!"

"Isn't this time that they are dragging the forces of our two legions of Bashu into the war of attrition in Xiliang?"

"For the defeat of this battle, Zhuge Liang, as the overseer of the imperial court, must be responsible!"

"If you don't know how to defend it, you can not be defeated in this battle!"

"Now that Maguan has been burned by the Wei army, the food and armaments we have accumulated are gone, so the logistics of our army are not guaranteed, and this battle may drag on next year!"

In the face of the war report coming back from the west, the generals spoke one after another, expressing their opinions, some were worried about the front line, some were an afterthought, and some were indignant to punish the front generals......

The whole scene seemed like a mess.

Sun Quan, the emperor of Eastern Wu, was wearing a blue and white dragon-patterned brocade robe today, wearing a jade crown on his head, his face was like a crown of jade, and his face was calm.

The defeat of Wudu in this battle was also a little unexpected to him.

He didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would be calculated by Sima Yi and Zhang Ren together.

However, Zhuge Liang played well in the empty city of Baima Pass.

This strategist, who ranked first in the history of the Three Kingdoms, has now begun to gradually reveal his grandeur, and under the disadvantage, with 3,000 soldiers and horses, he frightened the 30,000 elites led by the fierce general Zhang Ren himself, and the desperate situation was reversed, otherwise the results of today's battle may be even worse.

Sun Quan thought in his heart whether he would be able to grow as he had achieved in history if he was given time and space.

is almost a demon with a lot of wisdom, and he has no last resort, this is Zhuge Liang in his true state.

But if you want to grow to this extent, you must have a consumption of success and bones, and since ancient times, there has never been a military god behind closed doors.

"I think since this battle is unfavorable, we should stop, rest and recuperate, and fight again in the future!"

Someone suddenly suggested.

This proposal made many military ministers agree.

You must know that this year's battle of Kwantung has consumed the vitality of the entire Great Wu Dynasty, and it has been fought to the point where it is necessary to use the people's heritage, and it will not be possible to recover at all in a few years.

But it didn't work out as expected.

It's normal for someone to want to stop and recuperate.

"Capturing Wudu can be regarded as a small battle achievement, and I also think that this battle will stop here!" A minister seconded: "We should have a good rest, and it is not too late to fight again!" ”

"Ridiculous, for this battle, we have spent a lot, even Baima Pass has been burned, if we can't achieve the strategic goal, isn't it that our army is incompetent, our goal is Xiliang, we must not stop in Wudu, this battle must be fought!" There was opposition.

"Fight it, what are you going to fight!"

Someone retorted: "Can the Logistics Department gather so much food, grass and armaments in one hour or three?" Or do you think the Bashu Governor's Mansion will support us without hesitation? ”

The military has suffered a defeat at this time, and there is no doubt that the cabinet will rebound.

The cabinet had already disagreed with this war before, it was the support of the Bashu Governor's Office to the military, even if the cabinet suffered a dumb loss, but now that the cabinet has the handle, even if it can't stop this war, it will at least cut off the support of the Bashu Governor's Office to the military.

"Stop? Keep fighting? ”

Cheng Pu, the head of the military plane, also had a somewhat gloomy and uncertain face at this moment, and his eyes flashed with the light of struggle.

He knows the truth of this battle better than all of you, and he has already fought to this point, not to say that he will stop if he stops, and in the situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger, if he does not insist on fighting, the two legions of Bashu and War Elephant will not give up.

The most important thing is Xiliang, which is already an indispensable pioneer in attacking Guanzhong to Liangzhou.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and said in a low voice: "I think Zhuge Liang can make up for his merits, and this battle must be fought until Xiliang is taken!" ”

"Don't you disagree with this fight?"

Sun Quan opened his eyes, and his amber crystal eyes looked at Zhou Yu's handsome and dashing face with some surprise.

"This time and that time!"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and said calmly: "At first, I didn't agree, but now that they are fighting, if they are cowering at this time, and they can't advance or retreat, won't they lose the undefeated momentum of our Wu army?" ”

"Ju Yi, tell me about it!"

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, and after pondering for a while, he looked at the burly warrior Ju Yi sitting on the left.

"Your Majesty, I also think that this battle must be fought!"

When Ju Yi, the commander of the Central Army, heard this, he calculated in his heart before he spoke: "Liangzhou must be taken, only by taking Liangzhou, we can capture Guanzhong without scruples in the future, and now they are not defeated, this is a strategic defeat, adjust the strategy, there is still a battle!" ”

"Adjust your strategy, there is still a battle!"

When the generals heard this, their hearts couldn't help but tremble.

This sentence illustrates a situation in the current war situation in the west.

In the end, they thought it was too simple, and they wanted to rely on a preemptive strike to fight by surprise, so they wishfully wanted them to swallow the 100,000 main force of the Wei army in one go, which was not easy to say.

So failure is also a matter of course.

But they were not defeated on the frontal battlefield, and this battle could still be fought, and there was still a chance to capture Liangzhou, and it was possible to annihilate this Wei army.

"Cheng Pu!"

Sun Quan's last gaze fell on the body of the veteran and calm military aircraft leader beside him.

"Your Majesty!"

Cheng Pu pondered for a moment, and his face became firm: "Weichen thinks that this battle must be fought, there is one thing that Commander Ju Yi said very well, Liangzhou must be taken, this is a grand strategy that cannot be changed, I believe that the Bashu Legion and the War Elephant Legion can take Xiliang and destroy this Wei army!" ”

"Good!"

Sun Quan nodded with satisfaction, Cheng Pu's calmness does not mean that he has lost his sharpness: "In this case, it is rumored that Chen to Xu Sheng, they can fight this battle, as for the logistics of grain and grass, there are cabinet checks and balances, and the Bashu Governor's Mansion will definitely not come out, and it can only depend on the operation of the Logistics Department!" ”

The Cabinet is not dragging its feet, they have their considerations.

In the final analysis, the division of labor between them is different, and the angle from which they naturally consider problems is also different.

The military officers and men are to open up the territory, and the cabinet officials are to secure the territory and the people.

You can't let the cabinet use them to appease the people, and the old people who govern the local areas support your military to go to war, which is tantamount to reckless military force.

So in this regard, Sun Quan could not force the cabinet to support it.

"Yes!"

The director of the logistics department did not shirk his hand, and it was a major battle to unify the world, and the ministers within the military aircraft department were still very united.

"As for Zhuge Liang!"

Sun Quan thought for a while: "Although he did not achieve the predetermined strategy, there is one thing that none of you can deny, in this battle, he performed very well, a plan to empty the city, he can actually block Zhang Ren for two days, which of you can do it?" ”

"This battle can be included in the textbook!"

"The defeat of Baima Pass is not a crime!"

When the generals heard this, they hurriedly shook their heads, if it was a different person, they could try the empty city plan, but in the face of Zhang Ren, a strong general, they could use the empty city plan to scare, how difficult it would be.

Even if it is Zhou Yu, under empathy, he does not necessarily think that he can do this.

Although the White Horse Pass was breached.

But Zhuge Liang handed in a very satisfactory answer sheet, at least in Sun Quan's opinion, this answer sheet is qualified.

"Spread my holy decree, Zhuge Liang supervised the army in this battle is unfavorable, the crime should be punished, thinking that the war is imminent, it is not appropriate to shake the heart of the army, order it to continue to supervise the army, give me a token in person, and have the right to temporarily take charge of the two major armies of the Bashu war elephant, if this battle is won, it should be rewarded, if it is defeated, all crimes will be punished!"

Sun Quan wants to open a skylight for Zhuge Liang, the defeat of this battle is somewhat due to Zhuge Liang's restraints, since he is put on the front line, then he must be given enough right to transfer troops.

"No!"

One man hastily proclaimed the decree.

"Your Majesty, will you be too indulgent to him?" Zhou Yu frowned.

"Gong Jin, you want the horse to run, and you don't give the horse grazing, can he run?" Sun Quan said: "Although Zhuge Liang has talent, if he wants to show his talent, it is also a stage that needs to be encouraged and played, all of which are indispensable!" ”

"Wechen understands!"

Zhou Yu smiled and said.

Sun Quan is incomparable to him in terms of employing people, which is why he is a king, and he is just a staff secretary.

After the meeting of the Military Machine Pavilion, Sun Quan summoned Cheng Pu and Zhou Yu into the imperial study.

"Here's a copy of the Heaven Change Plan submitted by Jin Yiwei, take a closer look!"

Sun Quan handed a top-secret plan to the two.

"Wuguan?"

The two took the plan and looked at the contents carefully, which made the hearts of the two of them frightened, and their pupils contracted slightly.

"Your Majesty, can Governor Li have confidence?" After half a ring, Zhou Yu asked.

"He has already rushed to Wuguan in person!"

Sun Quan thought for a while: "The probability of success of this plan is not great, but if it succeeds, it will be too beneficial for our Great Wu to enter Guanzhong in the future, it is simply a flat river, so Jinyiwei decided to fight!" ”

"That's right!"

Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed in a straight line, and the light was sharp: "The benefits are great, but the risks are also great!" ”

"Your Majesty showed us this plan because it needs the support of Nanyang's soldiers and horses!" Cheng Pu squinted slightly and said in a deep voice.

"That's right!"

Sun Quan nodded: "I originally wanted to keep it absolutely secret, after all, the more people who know about this plan, the more risks it will be, but once the Wuguan is successful, we need to immediately control the Wuguan and take down this gap in the pass, which is indispensable for the support of the military!" ”

"I can order Nanyang's Eighth Army to go north outside Wuguan!"

Cheng Pu thought for a moment and said.

"When you transfer troops, you must try the opposite, try to keep it secret, and don't show clues!" Sun Quan said instructively.

"Yes!"

The two nodded and took the order, Zhou Yu thought about it, and there was a resolution in his expression, and said: "I will personally go to Nanyang, cooperate with Governor Li of Wuguan, and win Wuguan as much as possible!" ”

"With you personally going to transfer troops, I feel a lot more relieved!" Sun Quan said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
