Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Huge Plan, Ten Years of Foreshadowing

readx;

Liu Bei knew that Zhao Feng was ready to make a move. Although www.biquge.info didn't know what Zhao Feng's specific plan was, Liu Bei still ordered that all departments in Jingzhou prepare grain and grass to provide the needs of the army as promised. At this time in Chengdu, except for the frustration who rushed over from Liangzhou, the rest of the Yizhou high-level leaders headed by Zhao Feng were also present. Even Lu Xun of Brazil asked Wu Ban to temporarily preside over military affairs, and he took a boat from Dianjiang to Chengdu overnight to participate in the deliberations.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the autumn of the previous year, I have been recruiting soldiers, collecting food and grass, and building ordnance. Now, the new recruits have completed their training. So I intend to send troops immediately and fight Sima Yi for the outbreak. Looking at the group of people in the room, Zhao Feng said slowly.

Although he knew that Zhao Feng would not gather everyone without a purpose, but when he really said this, there was a slight twitch in the room. Since Sima Yi occupied Hanzhong three years ago, he has been like a big stone pressing on everyone's hearts. Now that Zhao Feng has finished preparations, he wants to fight with Sima Yi to recapture Hanzhong, which is the so-called getting rid of the trouble of his henchmen, which is really fulfilling everyone's wishes.

When the excitement eased slightly, everyone also knew that the opponent this time was not ordinary, far from being comparable to Zhang Lu at the beginning. Sima Yi was resourceful, and occupied the lands of Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and his roots were far deeper than Zhang Lu's. In addition, his wife has been preaching in Hanzhong again in the past few years, and the hearts of the people in Hanzhong have been attached to him again. In this way, it is not easy to capture Hanzhong.

"General, Sima Yi has far-reaching plans, if you want to enter the Hanzhong, you must plan carefully and discuss a perfect strategy!" Lu Xun said first. The year before last, he suffered a big loss in the hands of Sima Yi and lost Hanzhong, and in the past two years, he has confronted him in Brazil, and Lu Xun is also extremely jealous of this opponent.

"I know that Sima Yi is a good person, so I have gathered you to discuss a perfect plan." Zhao Feng said with a smile, and then ordered: "Bo Yan, you and Yuanxiong led an army of 40,000 troops from Jinniu Road to Hanzhong to attract Sima Yi's attention. ”

"Taurus Road?" It was not Lu Xun who was stunned when he heard this, but Zhang Ren. But Zhao Feng smiled and said: "The road of the Golden Bull Road is rugged, but you can avoid the natural danger of Yangping Pass." Since then, Sima Yi will not dare to send only a few men and horses to garrison, and Bo Yan can contain Sima Yi's tens of thousands of horses. ”

"Xun understood!" Lu Xun nodded and said, sometimes the feelings have to be covered by themselves. After assigning the task to Lu Xun, Zhao Feng said to Fu again: "Mr. Zezhu, after you return to Xiliang, please ask General Ma to raise troops out of Jincheng, enter Guanlong, threaten Guanzhong, and contain some troops!" ”

"Good!" Frustrated with his usual conciseness, he only nodded and said the word.

"The 140,000 Sichuan army, except for the 20,000 guarding Nanzhong, the rest will go with me this time. Righteousness, Boyang, Xiaozhi, Boqi, you follow me, lead the remaining 50,000 Sichuan troops, take fifteen building boats down the Yangtze River waterway, out of Wuxia to Yidu County, and then return to Zigui to the north, join Zhang Shusi and the kingdom mountains there, and then attack Hanzhong through the Han River! Zhao Feng continued to arrange. Except for Fa Zheng, Zhang Ren and Huang Quan, the rest of the people don't know anything.

"Does the general want to repair the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark?" Lu Xun's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he frowned slightly and said: "Sima Yi is extremely cautious, so even if he sends troops from the three eastern counties, he will not be on guard." ”

"Hey, general, why don't you call Jingzhou's military horses to send troops from Shangyong?" Ma Jian also asked a little strangely.

"At present, the training of new recruits has not yet been mastered, and Jingzhou soldiers and horses still need to assist Xuzhou and Yanzhou to guard against Cao Ying, and there are only a few Jingzhou troops that can be mobilized!" Zhao Feng explained. Unlike the Nanzhong military horses recruited by themselves, the Jingzhou army is basically from ordinary people, while most of the Nanzhong army are mountain people, with some martial arts, and many of them are even hunters, or they were the private soldiers of the tribe in Nanzhong. To train them to become an army, basically all you need to do is practice and cooperate. And last time Liu Bei suffered heavy losses, the Xuzhou army and the Yuzhou army were more than half of the casualties, and now only the Jingzhou army is still complete, so the Jingzhou army was transferred to guard the place.

"I see!" Ma Tan nodded in understanding. From the Jialing River down the river, but a few days can go to the mouth of the Wuxia, and then return to the north, than the nest here is much stronger.

"After we enter the three eastern counties, we will implement the second part of the plan. At that time, the 50,000 Sichuan troops on hand plus 30,000 local garrisons should be able to have 80,000 horses. Since Shangyong marched into Hanzhong, General Yan Lao and Wu Ziyu led 30,000 Shangyong soldiers as the front, I led 5,000 Wuqian Flying Army, and 5,000 Danyang elite soldiers as the Chinese army, and the remaining 40,000 troops and horses as the rear army. Zhao Feng continued to arrange.

"General, why is that?" Zhang Ren couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this. The 80,000 army is distributed in the front, middle and back, which is simply a weak middle and a big tail. Lu Xun looked at the map carefully, and only after a while did he exclaim: "General, do you want to lead 10,000 forward-moving flying troops to raid Chang'an in the Meridian Valley?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed drastically. The valley mouth of the Meridian Valley is indeed within the jurisdiction of the three eastern counties, but the Meridian Valley Road is extremely steep, and it has always been inaccessible. Especially Wang Ping, he knew the precipitousness of the Meridian Valley Road, and his face turned pale when he heard this plan.

"Bo Yan, you are only half right, I went to the Meridian Valley, but it was not a surprise attack on Chang'an, but into the Qingni Pass, Tongguan and Pubanjin. Righteousness, after I lead the army to the Meridian Valley, you will lead the last 40,000 troops to withdraw from the three eastern counties, and then take Nanxiang and enter Guanzhong through Wuguan. At that time, you and I will have a total of more than 50,000 troops in one place, and the Wuguan Road will be opened, and the follow-up army can continue to enter the pass, so that even if Sima Yi is capable, it will be difficult to turn over! Zhao Feng said confidently. The last few words were really stunned.

"Wuguan!" It was Ma Tan who came back to his senses for a long time and sighed. It has been a full decade since Gan Ning led his army upstream, and Hao Zhao was stationed there during this period. When they seized Wuguan and sent Hao Zhao to garrison, although Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu wanted to release the military power with a glass of wine and set aside Liu Pan, it was also Zhao Feng's instruction to send Hao Zhao to garrison. This chess piece Zhao Feng secretly buried it, and it has not been used for ten years, in order to be able to surprise when he enters Guanzhong.

The reason why Guanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack is that it has several dangerous passes that are rare in the world, such as Sanguan, Xiaoguan, Hangu Pass, and Wuguan, which hold the passages into the pass. As long as one of them is cleared, the army can enter the pass unimpeded. Although the road of Wuguan Road is rugged, compared to the road of Xichuan, it is already better. If you can open up the Wuguan Road, you can continuously transfer troops from Nanyang into Guanzhong. At that time, in the decisive battle on the Guanzhong Plain, Sima Yi could not defend it to the death, and the exits such as Tongguan and Pubanjin had been strangled to death, so he could only be crushed because of his lack of strength. This plan, to use a popular word, is to close the door and beat the dog.

Using Lu Xun and Ma Chao's feints to attract Sima Yi's idea, and then going to the three eastern counties to attack Hanzhong, then taking the Meridian Valley Road to raid Guanzhong, and then taking the Wuguan Road to enter Guanzhong, this plan is one ring after another, with a total of three layers of deception. Even if Sima Yi was resourceful, he would never have imagined that Zhao Feng's true intentions would be Wuguan.

Of course, another reason is that Wuguan has been taken away by Liu Bei for ten years, but Liu Bei has not used Wuguan for so many years, and there is still a line of defense in the pass. Therefore, this threshold, which was originally very important, seems to have become less important. At least, everyone subconsciously ignores it. But sometimes, there is a cost to ignoring. According to the news sent by Zhao Feng to explore the horses, the current Tongguan guard general is the former Xiahou Yuan deputy general, and now Jiang Qi, who has taken refuge in Sima Yi, Huang Tong, the guard general of Qingni Pass, is even more nameless, and Pubanjin is the clan disciple Sima Dao of the Sima family. Because the former of Tongguan and Pubanjin is bordering Hedong County, the latter is too steep, so the number of defenders is quite limited. After he led the army out of the Meridian Valley Road, with the elite of the Flying Army, it was not a problem to raid these two places. And after Zhang Ren's 40,000 troops entered Guanzhong, they could calmly attack Chang'an. Even if Sima Yi knew the exact news, it would take a certain amount of time to react. During this period, he could calmly allocate manpower to garrison various passes, and then draw troops and horses from Jingzhou and other places to attack the pass and completely eliminate Sima Yi.

"The general's plan is one ring after another, which is of course exquisite. But the Meridian Valley Road has not been walked for many years, and if something goes wrong here, everything will be closed! After Lu Xun came back to his senses, he sighed.

"Back then, the elite soldiers of Danyang could walk through the Yinpingguan plank road, but now it is more convenient to replace it with the Flying Army!" Zhao Feng said with a smile. This plan is indeed a bit risky, but there is no plan in this world that is not risky at all, and if this plan is successful, then Liu Bei's occupation of Guanzhong is a natural trend. Even the unification of the world means that it is time to wait.

It is said that the peaceful world has long been pacified, which is also Zhao Feng's greatest hope all along. He knew in his heart that if he attacked city by city and place step by step, it would take at least ten years to pacify the world. It may even take decades, as in history. Once the war is in trouble, it is really never peaceful. I promised Zuo Ci Lao Dao that he would restore the world as soon as possible, so this risk is still worth taking by himself.

Except for Fa Zheng, the rest of the people's faces changed drastically, and no one would not be unmoved by this risky plan. However, everyone present was a bold person, and after the inner battle, in the end, Zhang Ren was the first to say: "The general's plan is very good, Ren is willing to lead the way to act according to the plan and help the general seize Guanzhong!" ”

"Once Guanzhong is captured, Sima Yi can only be pinned down in a corner of Hanzhong and will be destroyed sooner or later. It's a bit risky, but I'm willing to go with the general! After Lu Xun settled down, he also agreed. With the words of the two of them, no one else wants to be a bad seed. At that moment, Zhao Feng left Huang Quan to stay in Xichuan, supervise the grain and grass for Lu Xun's army, and led the army to act according to the plan.

In the third year of Huanglong, in April 213 AD, Zhao Feng, the general of Yizhou Mu and Zuo, sent his general, Guanghan Taishou Lu Xun to lead an army of 30,000, and falsely claimed that 100,000 entered Kouhan from the Golden Bull Road. At the same time, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Ma Chao personally led an army of 50,000 people out of Jincheng to enter the land of Longxi. As soon as these two people came, Sima Yi was suddenly a little in a hurry.
