In fact, the capture of Anding was just a prelude to Liu Qi's general attack on Liu Bei this time.

After two years of preparation, Liu Qi has accumulated enough supplies, and is ready to take advantage of Cao Cao's northern expedition to Wuhuan to capture the entire Guanzhong region in one go and completely drive Liu Bei out of the Guanzhong area.

After the loss of stability, Liu Feng was killed, and Hao Zhao surrendered, Liu Bei's morale declined greatly, and the accumulation of materials in the past two years was at least forty percent lost in this war, and the people were poor, but Liu Bei has maintained more than 100,000 standing troops, and the meager grain and grass harvested every year are difficult to support huge expenditures. Many Qianghu generals also took the opportunity to rise up and plundered everywhere.

In just two months, there were several forces such as Chen Cang Tuntian Ke Lu He, right Feng Yi Zheng Gan, Wang Zhao, and the leaders of the Southern Xiongnu and other tribes, Shao Ti and Bald Guilai, gathered 20,000 people at most, and Liu Bei led the army to go around to conquest, and he was busy with anxiety, which made the already stormy Qin State even worse.

With Liu Qi's current strength, it can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong, the grain and grass are sufficient, the soldiers are united, and the three armies are working together.

Liu Qi appointed Ma Chao as the commander of the Northern Route Army, with Cheng Gongying and Hao Zhao as the left and right military divisions, and commanded Ma Dai, Jiang Yin, Zhao Ang, Yin Feng, and Yao Naxuan, the chief of Yaodangqiang, and other generals, to lead 50,000 cavalry to attack Beidi County; Huang Zhong was the commander of the Western Road, with Fa Zheng as the military advisor, and Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Huo Jun, Pan Jun, Jiang Wan, Gao Pei, Wu Lan, Lei Tong, Huang Xu and other generals. led an army of 80,000, known as 100,000, to attack Liu Bei's dangerous Quail County.

However, Liu Qi personally served as the commander of the Middle Route Army, with Jia Xu as his military advisor. Zhou Budo and Ma Tan were strategists, and Liu Shi, Zhang Tong, Liao Hua, Fu Wei, Ding Feng, Zhu Huan, Meng Shu, Sha Moke and other generals were under his command. led an army of 50,000, known as 100,000, to attack the county where Zhang Fei was stationed, in fact, Liu Qi was here mainly to contain the strength of Zhang Fei's army, of course, if possible, it was naturally better to swallow part of his troops.

Liu Qi also ordered Gan Ning to be the commander of the Southern Route Army, with Tian Feng as the military advisor. Under his command, Li Dian, Wen Ping, Li Yan, Bao Ling, Li Yi, Pang Le, Song Qian, Su Fei, Chen Qi, Deng Long, Sun Ben, Sun Jiao and other generals, a total of 40,000, claimed to be 60,000 troops to attack Chen Cang.

In addition, Liu Qi also ordered Zhou Yu to be the commander of the East Route Army, with Kan Ze as the military advisor, and under his command Huang Gai, Wang Wei, Lu Fan, Du Xi, Hu Che'er, Xu Sheng, Quan Cong, Ling Tong and other generals, led 50,000, known as 80,000 troops to attack Wuguan, and ordered the transfer of 30,000 elite soldiers from Xiangyang, and 10,000 elite soldiers left in Nanyang. With Lü Meng as the governor, he commanded Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, Ma Zhong, Yan Zhi, Chen Shi, Lü Dai, Xie Jing and other generals to guard Nanyang.

At one time, the total number of troops on the Fifth Route was 270,000. Claimed to be 400,000, they launched an attack on Liu Bei's army from four directions at the same time.

Liu Bei didn't expect Liu Qi to start a full-scale war so soon, when he heard the news, he was hugging his son Liu Chan and laughing, but after hearing the news, he couldn't help but be shocked, and fell Liu Chan down in a distraction.

Liu Bei hurriedly handed over Liu Chan to the maid. Then he personally went to Zhuge Liang's mansion and retired his attendants. said anxiously: "Military advisor, now Liu Qi Xiao'er is leading an army of 100,000 to attack Guanzhong. It seems that we will not be completely wiped out, and we will not give up, Lone is now forty years old, and it is not easy to obtain this foundation in Guanzhong with the help of the military, and now I don't have the heart to dominate the world, but I just want to keep this foundation, can't God even be satisfied with this request? ”

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Liu Qi is coming with great momentum this time, although there is no 400,000 army, but there are always 200,000, relying on our strength alone, it is really difficult to resist, even if it is barely won, it must be too much loss, even if it does not die in the hands of Liu Qi, it will be swallowed up by Cao Cao, so we must ask Cao Cao to send troops to help, ask Cao Ren to send troops to attack Liu Qi's Nanyang, and then ask Luoyang, Hedong, Hongnong and other places to send troops to help fight Liu Qi, There may be hope of victory. ”

"Perhaps?" Liu Bei couldn't help but turn pale when he heard this, and asked in a lost voice.

Zhuge Liang sighed, shook his head helplessly and said: "This is also a matter of no choice, the Guanzhong area is short of materials, long-term war, the people are tired, the population is sparse, plus Liu Qi's command is full of talents, all the armies are brave generals, resourceful people, we want to win, it is really not easy, if Cao Cao rescues in time, we still have hope of winning, but if..."

Zhuge Liang didn't say the next words, because Zhuge Liang knew that even if he didn't say it, Liu Bei would be very clear.

"If it weren't for the fact that you didn't listen to my advice and fought with Cao Cao for the sake of greed, maybe we would have taken Yizhou a long time ago, and the battlefield at this time might have reached Jingzhou, right? If it weren't for Liu Qi smuggling through Yinping and letting me make a bad move, and then leading to a rout on all fronts, it is estimated that we have already occupied most of the land of Bashu, even if we can't occupy it, at least we can occupy Hanzhong and Wudu, and completely block Liu Qi's army in Bashu, and then we take the opportunity to occupy the entire Liangzhou and reopen the Silk Road, and I am afraid that Daqin will also be able to retake the road of Emperor Qin and Gaozu back then. ”

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, because he had been fighting with Liu Qi for so many years, every time he was a bad move, and this difference always made him lose and regret it, it seems that sometimes, people's intelligence is indeed limited, and he is still a little worse than Liu Qi and Jia Xu, the two insidious guys.

Zhuge Liang was losing his mind, but suddenly saw Liu Bei looking at him with burning eyes, he couldn't help but come back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Liang Fang is a little distracted, please forgive me, by the way, what did the lord say just now?" ”

Zhuge Liang subconsciously listened to Liu Bei ask himself a word, and he lost his mind at that time. didn't hear clearly, but in his consciousness he knew what the other party said to him, and hurriedly asked with a guilty face.

Liu Bei heard this. couldn't help but look slightly stunned, but he still held back his anger. sighed softly: "The military division has been tired for days, and it is inevitable that some distractions will be made, and the lonely party is to ask, Cao Cao is now in the north to conquer Wuhuan, which is too far away from us, if we get his consent, and then wait for him to transfer troops back, I am afraid that the entire Guanzhong region has already been captured by Liu Qi."

Zhuge Liang was in good spirits. Hurriedly said: "Don't be arrogant, our army is now guarding all dangerous places, as long as we don't send troops to fight with it, Liu Qi wants to seize our pass, it's not so easy, not to mention that the situation is urgent, we don't need to send someone to the north to see Cao Cao, now Cao Ren is the governor of Yanyu Qingxu Sizhou, and Cao Cao's younger brother, this person is a famous general of Cao Wei." understands the change, and now he is in Luoyang, as long as the lord sends someone to ask him for reinforcements. Presumably he will definitely send troops to help, Luoyang is only eight hundred miles away from us, if it is fast, it will be possible to arrive in two days, and there will be no mistakes. ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said in admiration: "The military really has a thorough understanding, and he immediately grasped the key, so he repaired the book, and then sent someone to ask to see Cao Ren." ”

Zhuge Liang listened to Liu Bei's words of praise. But there was no slightest pride in his heart, but he blamed himself. This man trusts himself so much, and he thinks he is resourceful. Unexpectedly, he was defeated again and again, and now the entire Great Qin force has been crumbling, is there no fault of his own?

"If I hadn't persuaded the lord to 'borrow' Nanyang, but really handed over Nanyang to Liu Qi, maybe we would have been able to establish a relatively stable alliance, and General Guan would not have suffered, if General Guan and General Zhang had conquered Hanzhong together, there would have been no such fiasco. If I hadn't persuaded the lord to take the opportunity to annex Ma Teng's right Fufeng, but led the army to rescue Ma Chao, wouldn't I have been able to let Ma Chao and I wholeheartedly cooperate to deal with Han Sui together? If I had been more cautious and stationed heavy troops in Yinping, wouldn't there have been a great defeat in Hanzhong? ”

"Huh? Yin Ping? Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help frowning, and suddenly felt that there was a very important thing related to it, but he couldn't remember what it was.

However, Zhuge Liang did feel that this matter was very important. It may even be related to the survival of Daqin, so after Liu Bei left, he immediately walked into the study and ordered no one to disturb him.

But the more Zhuge Liang thought about it, the more he couldn't think of it, and I don't know how long it took, he suddenly heard a loud shout outside the door: "Little thief, what a bold man, he dares to steal something in Shangshuling Mansion!" Are you getting impatient? ”

Zhuge Liang heard the shout outside the door, and he frowned a little, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, patted his head and said: "I thought of it, I finally thought of it, Liu Qi likes to win by surprise the most in his life, I must be on guard, from Hanzhong to Chang'an, there is actually a place similar to Yinping Road, that is, Meridian Valley, this time I must not ignore the defense here, otherwise, it is very likely that it will be like the Hanzhong War, and suffer an unprecedented defeat." ”

Meridian Valley is a long and narrow and steep mountain road from Chang'an to Hanzhong, and it is also the nearest mountain road, with a total length of more than 600 miles, but because the geographical environment here is very narrow, the road is steep and difficult to walk, if it is a continuous rainy day, it is even more difficult for the army to advance, coupled with the difficulty of transporting grain and grass, if you want to pass through here, it is equivalent to taking a dead end, so there is generally no one to fortify, but Zhuge Liang knows that Liu Qi has always been in danger, and this time it may be possible to pass from here.

So after thinking about it, Zhuge Liang decided to tell Liu Bei about his concerns.

Liu Bei thought about it and felt that it was not impossible, but now that Liu Qi's army was in full attack, he did not have the strength to deploy a large number of troops there, so he decided to send an ambush of 3,000 troops at the mouth of the valley to deal with the enemy army who wanted to pass through Guò.

Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Bei was the most helpless way at present, so he ordered Liu Xiongming to lead an army of 3,000 to set up an ambush at the mouth of the valley.

After deploying the defense of Meridian Valley, Zhuge Liang calmed down to deal with the enemy forces from all sides. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
