"The so-called thousand-mile embankment collapsed in a hole, if you can understand this truth, then the king will not feel any difficulty."

Facing Meng Shu, whose face was embarrassed, Jing Lao said indifferently.

"Oh? What do you mean by Jing Lao, ......" Meng Shu was stunned in his heart, and vaguely understood what Jing Lao wanted to say.

"I mean, Liu Bei is wandering in the belly of your barbarian region, and he is a greater threat to you than the New Han army that is attacking the king head-on. The New Han Army is now, although it is menacing, but you still have a strong and easy-to-defend Shanghai-Tianjin Pass enemy, the New Han Army will not be able to take your pass for a while, if they transfer to attack other pass towns, the same is true, the king's army and horses only need to be in strict formation, and it is not easy for the New Han Army to seize your pass towns in a short time. Under such circumstances, why didn't the king secretly transfer military horses and destroy Liu Bei in one fell swoop? Destroy Liu Bei, you will be able to stabilize internally, the morale of the army will be greatly boosted, and you can do whatever you want against the New Han Army. Jing Lao said.

"But ......"

"No, but now Liu Bei is rushing towards Spring City, and his purpose is already very clear, that is, he wants to seize the King's Spring City. If the king quickly informs the defenders of Chuncheng in time and asks him to desperately defend Chuncheng, under the condition of preparation, it is impossible for Liu Bei to capture Chuncheng in a short time, after all, Liu Bei has just escaped from Yizhou, and all the baggage is gone, unless it is a surprise attack, otherwise, it is just a dream to capture Chuncheng in a short time. At that time, the king personally led a large army to besiege and kill Liu Bei's army under the Spring City, so Liu Bei would be unable to fly. There is one more benefit. That is Liu Bei's tens of thousands of Yizhou troops, if the king can be collected for your own use. It also suddenly gave the king tens of thousands of troops to fight against the New Han army. ”

Meng was moved and blinked. "How is this possible?" If I want to kill Liu Bei, I will definitely attack and kill it, so even if I can kill Liu Bei in the end, how many people are left in those Yizhou army? And the rest of the Yizhou army, how can they be used by this king? ”

"Hehe, normally speaking, it is indeed a little difficult to kill Liu Bei, and it is even more difficult to collect his army. But don't forget the old man, my lord. If the king can let Liu Bei's Yizhou army be incorporated by the old man after destroying Liu Bei, and the old man will lead it, assist the king to defend the barbarian territory together, and resolutely resist the New Han army together, then the old man can get rid of Liu Bei for the king. ”

"What? You say you can get rid of Liu Bei for this king? This ......" Meng Shu was overjoyed, but said suspiciously: "What is this for?" Although you said that Liu Bei is not your real master, haven't you always followed him? And also. If you want to kill Liu Bei, you can kill it, why do you want to tell this king? ”

"What's the benefit of me killing Liu Bei? I followed Liu Bei, just the master's order. In order to resist the New Han Army to the end. Now, only you, the King, can stand up to the New Han Army. And Liu Bei wanted to move the knife behind the king's back. This is not in line with the old man's philosophy. Therefore, Liu Bei must die! But. Just killed Liu Bei, and the old man was not sure that he could replace Liu Bei's tens of thousands of Yizhou troops, but with the king's army surrounding, those Yizhou troops had no choice and had to obey the old man's orders. After the old man replaces Liu Bei and controls the tens of thousands of Yizhou troops, the old man also needs allies to resist the New Han Army. Therefore, the old man can assist the king to resist the attack of the New Han army. In addition, there is another request, I hope that the king can give the old man a pass or town alone, let the old man garrison, and be ready to cooperate with the king at any time to attack the new Han army. If the king can adopt the old man's plan, then the old man will immediately go and kill Liu Bei under the spring city. ”

"Hmm...... Think about it...... For killing Liu Bei, I don't know what you can do about Jing Lao? After Meng Shu heard what Jing Lao said, he felt that it was really as Jing Lao said, it was equivalent to just letting him secretly carry out a military horse march, and it was estimated that it would not take long, as long as Liu Bei was solved, his army would return to Lujin Pass immediately and it would not have any impact. It is estimated that the Xinhan army may not know the situation on their own side, and they have already solved Liu Bei before returning to Guanlai. Therefore, Meng Wei wants to know, is this Jing Lao with a mysterious origin credible, and what confidence can he have to ensure that he can easily kill Liu Bei, without having to wave his army to attack Liu Beijun, his army can obediently let Jing Lao control and serve himself?

"Hehe, don't hide it from the king, the old man came to see the king, then Liu Bei didn't know. Now, the old man can return to Liu Bei's side at any time, with Liu Bei's reliance on the old man, it is not easy to kill him? What's more, do you think that there is only one person like the old man? My master sent a lot of masters who were as skilled as the old man to Liu Bei's side, but those masters would all listen to the old man. So, does the king understand? Jing Laoyin said with a smile.

Meng Huo's eyes lit up, he didn't think of the things that made him embarrassed, after this Jing Lao said, he found that the things he was embarrassed about were so easy to solve. Faced with Jing Lao's plan, Meng Yu thought about it, and there seemed to be no need to refuse. Not only can you solve Liu Bei, but you can also get Liu Bei's military horse for your own use, so why not?

Of course, for this mysterious Jing Lao, Meng Shu still has a bit of vigilance in his heart. He didn't fully believe that this Jing Lao would be so simple, so kind-hearted, and unconditionally assist him against the New Han Army. However, for now, Meng Shu felt that this Jing Lao had not revealed any intentions to himself, so there would be nothing wrong with cooperating with him.

As soon as he thought of this, Meng Shu made up his mind and said: "From Lujin Pass, it will take about a day, I will only give you two days, you must kill Liu Bei, control Liu Beijun who is about to rush to Spring City, this king led the barbarian army, secretly left here, within three days, you must rush back, otherwise, it will definitely make the Xinhan army outside the pass aware of the weak garrison of Lujin Pass, once they find out, Lujin Pass will be in danger." Can you guarantee that things will be sorted out within this time? ”

"Rest assured, the king, three days are enough. In this way, the old man high-fived the king and made an alliance. After that, they fought against each other against the New Han Army. ”

"Good!"

Meng Shu agreed without hesitation.

……

From Juti to Spring City. rushed all the way, and it took Liu Bei about three days. That's hundreds of miles away. But fortunately, there were not too many obstacles along the way.

Liu Bei knew that his actions were sudden, even if the barbarian troops along the way were confused, but before Meng Shu's order reached the hands of those barbarian troops along the way, ordering them to attack and intercept his military horses, no barbarian army would attack his military horses. After all, nominally, he and Meng Shu were still allies. Now again in the name of assisting their barbarians.

Therefore, Liu Bei also rushed to Spring City relatively smoothly.

Spring City, located in the plateau, the weather is often like February and March, and the flowers bloom continuously in four o'clock spring, which is called "Spring City". The northern part of the Dianchi Basin is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the Dianchi Lake is bordered by rivers in the south. A rich and fertile dam was formed.

If Liu Bei can capture Spring City and control the area around Spring City, and Meng Xu's barbarian army can defeat the New Han army, he can't do anything to him. I believe that Liu Bei will not be in Spring City for long, and it is really possible for him to develop.

However, the ideal and the reality. It's two heavens.

In the early 3rd century BC during the Warring States Period, Chu General Zhuang led his troops into Yunnan. Because Qin cut off his way back, "change and obey his customs". Settled in the Jinning area of the Dianchi Lake region and established the Dian Kingdom. In the second year of the Western Han Dynasty (109 B.C.), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave the King of Dian the "seal of the King of Dian", set up Yizhou County, and the county was governed in the east bank of Dianchi Lake in Jincheng.

Therefore, Spring City is now an ancient city.

After hundreds of years of development, the city walls of Spring City have already been perfected, even if they are not as good as those majestic cities, but they also make Liu Bei dumbfounded.

The city wall is several feet high, and there are no siege equipment, so it is impossible for him to forcibly take it down with his current lightly armed military horses. If you want to raid, you can clearly see that the barbarian army in Spring City seems to have been prepared for a long time, and they don't let him get close to Spring City at all.

This is Liu Bei wanted to deceive the Spring City, and when he wanted to go down to the city gate to deceive the Spring City Gate, he was shot indiscriminately by the defenders of the Spring City, and almost did not kill him.

For this reason, Liu Bei couldn't help but fall into distress.

When he summoned the generals below to discuss how to capture Spring City faster, Jing Lao returned.

Liu Bei didn't expect that Jing Lao would come back from Lujin Pass, so although he was a little wary of him, he was not wary of Jing Lao's purpose for coming back this time.

Seeing Jing Lao, Liu Bei still remembered that he had a not very pleasant conversation with Jing Lao on the road, so he didn't give Jing Lao a good look, but just asked lightly: "Jing Lao, there is no problem with our logistics supply, right?" Taking Spring City is a matter of great importance to us, and when the time comes, please spare no effort and help Elder Jing. ”

Liu Bei knew that if Jing Lao and other masters could make a move, forcibly climb to the head of Spring City, and raid Spring City, then it was still possible to take Spring City. Therefore, although I have some opinions about Jing Lao in my heart, I don't dare to offend too much. But Liu Bei didn't have much hope, these masters of Sima Hui who followed him had already lost a lot, and there were not many left, there were only a few, I was afraid that Jing Lao would not be so desperate for himself.

"Hehe, it's easy to say, but the matter of capturing Spring City should be done quickly rather than slowly, if you wait any longer, I am afraid that the plan of the Metropolitan Governor will be difficult to implement. First, the barbarian army is not only the little military horse that Meng Shu is leading now, in fact, there are many barbarian cave masters who did not lead the army to follow Meng Shu's side. In case Meng was persuaded by the other cave masters, and they waved their troops to help them defend Spring City, or even directly led the army to attack our army, then we could only face a defeat. There is also that if the time drags on for too long, it will make the army on the barbarian side unstable, and it is advisable to give the Xinhan army a chance, in case the army of Yizhou is also attacked, the barbarian army will be defeated, and at that time, even if the governor of the capital captures Chuncheng, it will be meaningless. Jing Lao analyzed as if for Liu Bei's sake.

"Why don't these Pontus governors know? It's just that I didn't expect that the defenders of Spring City had already prepared, and they hadn't been to Spring City, so they didn't expect that Spring City would be a fortified city with complete walls. Liu Bei heard that Jing Lao could now think about himself, so he let go of his feelings about Jing Lao a little and discussed it with him.

"In the face of the fortified city, there is only a surprise attack, it is better for the governor to personally lead the raid army to attack the city, and the old man also goes to the city with the governor to fight, how about it?" Elder Jing suggested.

"Oh? Can Jing Lao really risk his life? In this case, what if Bei and Jing Lao will kill the head of Spring City together? Liu Bei listened to Jing Lao's suggestion, and couldn't help but feel that there was a play, and there were Jing Lao and other masters who would go to the city with him, as long as they climbed to the top of the city, then it was equivalent to taking Spring City.

"The Governor only needs to select the best players in the army, and steal the city in the early hours of the night, and the old man and the others, as long as they climb the city, they will definitely be able to capture the city, and they will never be recaptured by the barbarian army. Everything depends on the determination of the Metropolitan Governor. ”

"Good! The Governor of Pontus will personally attack the city and attack tomorrow morning! ”

"Lord, Zhang's injury is almost healed, when you attack the city, count me in." Zhang Ren asked Zhandao.

"Count me in!"

"I'm the one too!"

……

The generals in Liu Bei's army tent expressed their willingness to follow Liu Bei to fight in the city.

Up to now, Liu Bei actually doesn't have too many choices, and there is nothing to discuss. After abandoning Zhuti County and coming to Spring City, Liu Bei had no way back, so he had to seize Spring City as a territory for development. Otherwise, if it's too late, he'll be in a dilemma.

Therefore, Jing Lao's proposal was immediately adopted by Liu Bei. Of course, Liu Bei had already thought of such a way of attacking the city, and he had also discussed it with the people below. Jing Lao's proposal is just a matter of course.

It's just that Liu Bei didn't know that Meng Shu had quietly ordered an army of 100,000 from Lujin Pass, and had secretly operated not far from Liu Bei's camp in front of Chuncheng, and the troops had been quietly deployed, forming an encirclement of Liu Bei's army. Just wait for Jing Lao to kill Liu Bei, and Meng Shu's army will come out and surround Liu Bei's army.

These are also the action plans of Elder Jing and Meng after discussion.

After all, although Jing Lao could take advantage of Liu Bei's unpreparedness and kill Liu Bei with a killer, Jing Lao also understood that if he did it in Liu Bei's army, even if he could kill Liu Bei, he would also be attacked by Liu Beijun, especially the crazy attacks of some followers loyal to Liu Bei. Therefore, Jing Lao proposed that Liu Bei personally lead the army to attack Spring City, so that he would have more opportunities to attack, and after killing Liu Bei, Jing Lao could also better avoid the attacks of Liu Bei's followers.
