Sun Quan shook his head and sighed again, the joy on his face vanished: "Gong Jin, those ministers today said that if Liu Zhang defeats Liu Bei and the Sichuan army controls Guanzhong, it will be the time when I send troops to Jiangdong. ”

The last time he sent troops to Jiangling, Sun Quan had great hopes, but when he waited and waited, the result was disappointment, complete disappointment, unlike Liu Zhang and Cao Cao, it was too difficult for Sun Quan to find a reason to persuade civilian officials to send troops, and every opportunity, Sun Quan could only cherish it.

Sending Da Qiao to reunite with Xiao Qiao also told Zhou Yu that he had not forgotten him. Take care of your illness and just wait for the day.

…………

In Yecheng, the general passed on the good news again, and the Cao army defeated Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi in the plain, and the Yuan generals surrendered one after another.

"Hahaha, lord, if it goes on like this, it won't be long before the entire Jizhou will be ours, and when the time comes, we will send troops to Youzhou, unify the north, and go south to unify the world."

The crowd was elated.

Cao's army is now at its peak, as long as it defeats the Yuan clan, it will dominate Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, most of Yangzhou, a corner of Jingzhou, and the Sili region.

The population is the sum of Liu Zhang, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan's subordinates, and the general trend of the world belongs to Cao Cao.

"Lord, now that our army has won one after another, Xichuan Liu Zhang can't bear it, it is reported that Liu Zhang has raised three armies, coerced Nanban Xiqiang, a total of more than 300,000, killing Yongliang Liu Bei, Yongliang War, about to break out." A civil servant stepped forward and said.

Cao Cao sat on the luxurious chair sold by Sichuan merchants, and pounded the back of the chair with his fist: "Hehe." This Liu Zhang. It is the trend of today. 300,000 troops, how many troops does Liu Bei have? ”

Xun Yu stepped forward and said: "Liu Bei's command has 100,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry, 30,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry in northern Yongliang, 10,000 infantry in Xiliang, and 120,000 cavalry, a total of 320,000. ”

"That's pretty good." Cao Cao laughed.

"Definitely." Xun Yu said: "Liu Bei just won Xiliang. The various warlords are only attached in name, especially the Xiliang Army, the number of cavalry is huge, but most of them were once vassals of Han Sui, and Han Sui surrendered to the enemy, and the loyalty of these people is very unpredictable.

Now Liu Bei can fully command the 50,000 troops of the former Ma Xiliang Army, and Liu Bei's descendants from Shicheng to Chang'an Zhao'an have 80,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry. A total of 150,000, the loyalty of the Yongzhou warlords was a little better than that of the Xiliang warlords. It is estimated that 80,000, that is to say, there are only 230,000 that can really be commanded by Liu Bei Zhuge Liang, which is lower than Liu Zhang's army. ”

Cheng Yu stepped forward and said: "My lord, Lord Xun is reasonable in his analysis of Liu Beijun, but Liu Zhang's 300,000 army may not be able to command him, it is reported that half of Liu Zhang's 300,000 army are barbarians and Qiang soldiers, and the loyalty of these people may not be very high." ”

Xun Yu said: "The loyalty of the barbarians and the Qiang soldiers may not be high, but Liu Zhang's control over the Qiang and the barbarians is very strong, and the Qiang people and the barbarians are both grateful and afraid of Liu Zhang. ”

"Liu Zhang's defeat is not far off." Xun You came out of the queue and said loudly: "I think Liu Zhang will lose this battle, because there are three fatal unfavorable factors for Liu Zhang's expedition this time.

First, Fa Zheng Jingzhou, Huang Yueying was poisoned in Nanzhong, and it has not healed so far, that is, the Sichuan army has no mastermind, and with Liu Zhang's talent, it may be able to defeat Zhao Wei, Zhang Lu, Liu Biao and other streams, but if you want to fight against Zhuge Liang Pangtong, you will definitely be defeated.

Second, although the Sichuan army is strong, it is infantry, the battle of Yangping Pass, the battle of Xiqiang, the Sichuan army defeated the Xiliang army twice, and the world will spread the Sichuan army to the gods, in fact, people with a discerning eye know that it is to win by wisdom, not a real duel.

No matter how strong the Sichuan army is, it is also infantry, this time Liu Zhang launched a total of 30,000 Han cavalry, 100,000 Xiqiang cavalry, needless to say, the combat power of the Sichuan army's Han cavalry is definitely not the opponent of the Xiliang army, even if the Xiqiang cavalry is loyal and reliable, as Lord Xun Yu said, it is by no means the opponent of the Xiliang cavalry.

In my opinion, only Wang Shuang's 40,000 Dongqingyi wolf cavalry has a certain cavalry combat power, and the cavalry of the Sichuan army is by no means the opponent of the Xiliang cavalry, because of the weakness of the cavalry, Liu Zhang will suffer a big loss in Yongliang.

The third point is the most fatal weakness of the Sichuan army, the Sichuan army has no mastermind, the cavalry is not strong, and it only prepares grain and grass for less than a year, so it wants to take Xiliang Yongzhou, and it is a fool's dream, you know, Liu Zhang is facing a wizard headed by Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and a fierce general led by Guan Zhang Zhao.

To sum up, Xun You believes that Liu Zhang will undoubtedly lose this battle, if Liu Zhang is defeated, Jing Yi's vitality will be greatly damaged, and the only prince in the world who can be with the lord for a long time will be destroyed on the fighter plane he stupidly chosen, and the world will be unified and will be returned to the lord. ”

"If the world is unified, it will return to the lord."

The ministers visited the worship, Cao Cao laughed: "Listening to Xun Gongda's words, suddenly enlightened, Liu Zhang has always been stubborn and self-serving, I heard that this time the ministers admonished, even Fa Zheng discouraged the Northern Expedition, and insisted on going his own way, undefeated, I was still worried about Liu Zhang, I didn't expect him to kill himself, to go to a big trouble, hahahaha." ”

"My lord." Guo Jia walked out slowly, Cao Cao immediately stopped laughing and looked at Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, do you disagree with Xun You's words?" What to say, though. ”

"Lord, Guo Jia completely agrees with Gongda's words, but we have already experienced too much of this inference.

When Liu Zhang entered Fucheng, 5,000 to 50,000, some people say that he killed himself, when Liu Zhang entered Hanzhong, 40,000 to 60,000, and crossed the sky and white water, some people said that he was in a hurry.

At the beginning, Liu Zhang claimed to attack Liu Biao, 100,000 against 400,000, and some people said that he brought humiliation on himself.

At the beginning, the Jingyi clan had ill intentions, Liu Zhang slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people, stained the river with blood, and some people said that he would definitely perish.

In the Battle of Xiqiang, the 200,000 Yongliang coalition army was disintegrated, and Xiqiang completely fell to the Sichuan army, and the Sichuan army was reborn.

In the battle of Nanzhong, he went deep into the poor mountains and bad waters, subdued the seven southern barbarians, and opened the southwest Silk Road.

All of these things were impossible in advance, but Liu Zhang made them possible one by one, so that today Liu Zhang's rapid rise has become the biggest threat to our army.

This expedition to Yongliang seems impossible, but compared to the difficulties encountered by Liu Zhang before, it can be said that it is too small, and we must not be careless. ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, the ministers whispered and nodded their heads, they couldn't understand why a person who had been not optimistic about it reached the peak step by step, after listening to Guo Jia's words, even if Xun You's analysis was still in his ears, the ministers also felt that Liu Zhang was not completely impossible to capture Yongliang.

Xun Yu pondered for a while, stepped forward and said: "Lord, Xun You's analysis is reasonable, Guo Jia is knowledgeable, but our army doesn't have to worry about the sky, our army's current focus is still Hebei, but Liu Zhang has to guard against it, and the lord can make some arrangements for Liu Zhang." ”

"My army is far away in Hebei, how to arrange it?" Cao Cao asked.

Xun Yu said: "Fa Zheng took 30,000 Jingzhou elites out of the Qingni Pass to contain Liu Beijun in Guanzhong, and his subordinates suggested that they immediately send an order to Zhang Liao in Wancheng, and Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun in Wuguan to feign in Wancheng to contain Fa Zheng and reduce the pressure on Liu Beijun in Guanzhong."

In addition, we can seal Liu Bei's territory to him, and we can seal Liu Bei as the assassin of Liangzhou, and lead the land of the three auxiliaries, seal the Marquis of Liang, and worship the general of the chariot and cavalry. ”

"That's very good." Cao Cao was overjoyed: "With Liu Bei supporting in Yongliang, both defeats and injuries, when our army is in Dingding Hebei, wave the army south, when the destruction of the withered and decayed, dominate the world." ”

"The lord is wise." The ministers bowed, and the sound shook the hall.

………………

The 200,000 troops of the Sichuan army gathered in Hanzhong, the 100,000 troops of Xiqiang, and the 30,000 Xiliang troops of Han Sui were ready to go.

Liu Beijun was nervous, and was originally going to lead the army to eliminate the leader of the Di people, Zhi Lanying, Xiaopanshan Beigongzhi, heard the arrival of the Sichuan army, and hurriedly sent Sun Qianjian Yong to the big camp in the north of the Di people, Xiaopanshan in Beigongzhi, and formed an alliance with Zhelanying Beigongzhi.

Liu was named the Marquis of Liang, led the history of the Western Liang Thorn, and also led the land of the three auxiliaries, worshiped the general of the chariot and cavalry, and immediately led the army south after rewarding the heroes of the crusade against Han Sui.

The sound of squeaky wheels resounded muffled in the dry wasteland, and Liu Bei Zhuge Liang sat in the car talking about the battle situation.

"Lord, this time Liu Zhang's Northern Expedition seems to be menacing, but in fact, it is strong on the outside."

Zhuge Liangyun was light and light, Liu Bei was originally very worried about Liu Zhang's attack, but at this time, seeing Zhuge Liang Chengzhu in his chest, he was relieved.

"First of all, Fa Zheng, 30,000 Jingzhou elites, it is difficult to cross the Qingni Pass, not to mention Cao Jun Zhang Liao, Xiahou brothers harassed, General Guan who stayed in Chang'an, only a small number of troops can make it difficult for Fa Zheng to invade the north.

Then there is Liu Zhang's army of 300,000, this 300,000 army has made several fatal mistakes, less master, rusty cavalry, and lack of food and grass.

No matter which one, we can make the Sichuan army defeated, we can use our superior cavalry, and the Sichuan army to confront and be invincible, even if we don't win, we can drag it until the Sichuan army runs out of food and grass, so this battle, we haven't fought yet, the Sichuan army has been defeated. ”

"Sir's words, Daigo empowerment, but I don't understand." Liu Bei frowned and said, "Since Mr. can see that the Sichuan army will be defeated, didn't Liu Zhang notice it at all?" Ignoring the dissuasion of Fa Zheng and his subordinates, he insisted on the Northern Expedition, and Liu Zhang insisted on going his own way, which was really terrible. ”

"My lord." Zhuge Liang let out a sigh: "Liu Zhang is not bent on going his own way, it is this person who has great ambitions, but unfortunately God is jealous, Liu Zhang, there is only one year left to live." ”

"I see." Liu Bei took a breath: "It seems that Liu Zhang took advantage of this year to lay a sufficient foundation for his son, this person is really far-sighted, but he actually took us under the knife." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Lord Wisdom, I have observed his eldest son Liu Xun in Chengdu, Liu Xun is young, studious, under the teaching of the prodigy Zhou Budo, his talent is even more outstanding, governing one side will never be a problem, given time, even if he governs a country, it may not be impossible."

But his talent is not a talent in troubled times, and the Sichuan army is in charge with this person, and our army has no worries. (To be continued.) )
