Zhuge Liang waved his goose feather fan and said with a faint smile: "At least eight thousand." ”

Liu Bei's cheeks jumped, he felt his heart cold, and glanced at Zhuge Liang, who was like a loser, squandering his family property and not caring at all.

"Eight thousand?" Yan Feng looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise: "Sir, seriously? ”

"Naturally, take it seriously." Zhuge Liang lowered his head and sighed: "Oh, Mr. also knows that my lord has a thin background, and these 8,000 soldiers are really the meat of my heart, but my lord is an ally of General Ma, and we can't say anything about General Ma's attack on Sichuan, so will other warlords respond?"

If it weren't for the fact that my lord needed some soldiers to guard the stone city, in case it was too small, and it was said that eight thousand, even if all the soldiers of my lord were transferred, what should it matter? ”

Yan Feng looked at Zhuge Liang for a while, Zhuge Liang was full of sincerity, and bowed to Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang, he is really the king of benevolence and righteousness, and he deserves his name, I will go back and tell my lord and uncle, the friendship of the emperor and uncle, and the Ma family will never dare to forget it." ”

Liu Bei tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, and said calmly: "I am close friends with General Ma, unlike the princes in this troubled world who are married for profit, and Mr. will see what he said." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Yan Feng agreed repeatedly, and Liu Bei shouted behind him: "Mr. said hello to Ma Chao and Ma Daixian's nephew on my behalf." ”

Liu Bei had a kind smile on his face, and it wasn't until Yan Feng was sent out of the door by the soldiers that he couldn't see it anymore, so he looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, what do you mean by this?" There are 12,000 of us in total, and we have managed to pull up the men and horses, even if we want to show favor to General Ma Teng, we don't need to do this. ”

"Lord, don't worry, let's go into the inner room and say." Zhuge Liang also changed his chic and handsome demeanor just now, his face became solemn, and he followed Liu Bei into the inner room.

"The Lord forgives sins." As soon as Zhuge Liang entered the inner room, he bowed to Liu Bei.

"What is the crime of sir?" Liu Bei glanced at Zhuge Liang and asked suspiciously, "Is Mr. for eight thousand soldiers?" Since the gentleman promised to give. If it weren't for Mr. 's advice, I Liu Bei would have been trapped in Hanshui long ago, and I would not have entered Chang'an, and there would be no today, let alone 8,000 people. Even if all the soldiers and divisions are sent out, I am willing. ”

"Ryo didn't mean that." Zhuge Liang said: "The lord forgives the sin, Liang has two miscalculations this time, the first is that Han Sui did not send troops south, Han Sui definitely did not know that someone framed him."

Han Sui is known as the fox of Xiliang, from a white life to today, he has more than 100,000 Xiliang troops, our actions can't hide from him, and Liang has no intention of hiding from him.

Obviously, Han Sui cares more about gaining Yongliang hegemony.

The second is that Ma Chao will lose so quickly. was so miserable, what I didn't expect the most was that Ma Chao was seriously injured and returned with only thirteen people, and most of the 50,000 Qiang cavalry surrendered. More than 30,000 Xiliang troops were annihilated, which was an unprecedented defeat, and the Xiliang army was a stepping stone for the Sichuan army. ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Liu Bei frowned and said: "This battle was fought by Ma Chao, how can Mr. be able to influence it." Where did the sin come from? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, this is related to our strategy, I originally planned." Ma Chao marched into Hanzhong, Liu Zhang, in order to fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao, will inevitably not pour Jing Yi's soldiers, with the courage of the Xiliang cavalry, and the wizard of Ma Chao's cavalry, Liu Zhang's first battle with the Xiliang army will inevitably be defeated.

In this way, Ma Chao can enter Hanzhong, Ma Teng will follow, Han Sui will also want to pick up cheap, the lord thinks about it, what will Liu Zhang do at this time? ”

Liu Bei frowned and said: "Hanzhong is the gateway to Western Shu, an important town for population and food, and the main passage for the displaced people in Guanzhong to enter Sichuan. ”

"By the way, Liu Zhang is going to have a decisive battle, what will happen to Xiliang?"

"Han Sui Ma Teng will pour his troops out, and Xiliang is empty."

"yes." Zhuge Liang sighed: "At that time, Xiliang was empty, and Hanzhong was mountainous, which was not conducive to the galloping of cavalry, and the discipline of the Xiliang army was sloppy, and the people of Hanzhong must hate it, I dare to assert that if Liu Zhang fought a decisive battle, 300,000 troops would go out of Hanzhong, there would be Huang Yueying, Fa Zheng and other conspiracies, Zhang Ren, Wei Yan and other generals, Huang Zhong and other fierce generals, Huang Quan, Li Yan, Jiang Wan and other logistics wizards, the Xiliang army will lose the right time, place and people, and will be defeated."

When the time comes, as long as we have a soldier to hold Chencang and collect it in the name of Ma Teng's allies, what will happen to the defeated army in Xiliang? can only surrender to us, we can Xu Tu Xiliang, and Liu Zhang's decisive battle with the Xiliang army, even if he wins, it will be a big injury to his vitality, plus the large-scale rebellion of Jing Yi before, it is an injury on top of injury, and the time of the lord is coming. ”

"It's a pity." When Zhuge Liang said this, he sighed bitterly.

Liu Bei pondered for a long time, did not comment on Zhuge Liang's predetermined strategy, and pondered: "So the military advisor urged Han Ma to attack Sichuan again this time?" In this way, our opportunity has not been lost, the military division can still take advantage of Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops to enter Hanzhong, and Liu Zhang's troops will fight a decisive battle with Han and Ma......"

Liu Bei said and suddenly paused: "Does the military advisor think that the Han Ma army can't break through Hanzhong?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded: "There is no doubt about defeat." ”

Zhuge Liang raised his head and said: "Lord, I just analyzed that Ma Chao can break through Yangping Pass, there are several prerequisites, first, the first battle between the Sichuan army and the Xiliang army, I only heard of its name, but I don't know the fact, I am not familiar with the tactics of the Xiliang army, and I will inevitably suffer."

Second, the Sichuan army was brought up by Liu Zhang within two years, quelling the rebellion and sweeping Jingzhou, but the prestige of the Xiliang army was far and wide, and the Sichuan army knew that they were not sure that they could defeat the Xiliang army, and in front of the Xiliang army, they would form fear and fear, which was enough to destroy an army.

As soon as Liu Zhang arrived at Yangping Pass, he was defeated by Ma Chao, because of these two reasons, he was not familiar with the enemy's combat strength, and the soldiers were afraid and afraid, how could he not be defeated?

Third, Liu Zhang had no cavalry, he could only be beaten passively, Liu Zhang defended the city for 15 days, except for the last night to lure the enemy, never opened the city gate, this is Liu Zhang's self-knowledge, but also the disadvantage of the Sichuan army.

The last is Ma Chao's military talent, which must not be ignored, Ma Chao acts rigidly and is slightly reckless, but his ability to command cavalry, the world can't find a second, a patchwork warlord cavalry army, in Ma Chao's hands, is a bowl of water that can be poured into any gap.

Coupled with the name of General Ma Chao Shenweitian, no matter how suspicious those Xiliang warlords and Qiang soldiers were, they didn't dare to disobey their orders.

With a degree of deployment and prohibition, these eight words are enough to increase the combat power of the same cavalry unit several times under Ma Chao. ”

"But now?" Zhuge Liang continued: "Ma Chao's Xiliang Army made a stepping stone for the Sichuan Army, the Sichuan Army defeated Ma Chao's Xiliang Army, Liu Zhang has already claimed that the Sichuan Army is the first army in the world, whether this is Liu Zhang's shameless boasting. The five words "the first army in the world" are enough to make the Sichuan army fearless.

From the moment when the Sichuan army completely defeated the Xiliang army, the Sichuan army achieved a rebirth.

The tactics and deterrence that the Xiliang army relied on will fall apart in front of the current Sichuan army, and it will not play any role, but the Xiliang army will be afraid. Even the Shenweitian General they admired was defeated miserably, and returned in embarrassment with thirteen people seriously injured, how could the Xiliang army not be afraid of the Sichuan army?

Morale goes off and off.

Liu Zhang formed a cavalry again, and won the support of the Qiang people, I dare not say the other Qiang tribes, but Tsing Yi Qiang must have fallen to Liu Zhang, Tsing Yi Qiang was the first to betray the Xiliang army, and directly led to the defeat of the Xiliang army, and has broken with the Xiliang army.

Han Sui's old fox has always been ambiguous. After all, he is also the leader of the Xiliang Army, and he will not take the initiative to offend other Xiliang warlords.

Tsing Yi Qiang is such a big sin, he can't rely on Han Sui, so it is reasonable, Tsing Yi Qiang, the largest tribe in Xiqiang. will be attached to the Sichuan army.

The other Qiang tribes will also have something to do with the Sichuan army, at least not as hostile as before.

Strength is one and the other is good.

Ma Teng and Han Sui joined forces, these two brothers. I can't wait to calculate the other party in order to gain control of Xiliang, and they will work together?

Does the lord remember Huang Yueying's battle against the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou rebels in Jiangling? His heart is not aligned. The more soldiers and horses, the lower the combat power.

I expect that the Xiliang Army will dispatch more than 100,000 troops this time, but without the deterrence of people with prestige, these 100,000 people are not even as good as the 50,000 combat power commanded by Ma Chao, and Ma Tenghan's ability to command in battle is not a little worse than Ma Chao.

Morale, strength, unity, the Xiliang army is in a mess, Liu Zhang's big victory, morale is booming, the horse infantry army is ready, who wins and who loses, is it not clear?

Moreover, my lord, the soldiers kept sending reports of the battle of Yangping Pass, did you analyze Liu Zhang's big victory and Ma Chao's big defeat? The skillful use of various strategies of this Zhanchuan army and the perfect use of the situation can be called a model of defeating the strong with the weak, which is enough to go down in history.

I heard that just fifteen days before the decisive battle, the Sichuan army was afraid of the Xiliang army, and when they heard the sound of the horses' hooves of the Xiliang army, they could barely hold the spear, but after the decisive battle on the fifteenth day, they were reborn and fought to the death, why?

Liu Zhang first held on, personally supervised the battle, defeated the Xiliang army several times, and verbally humiliated, the two armies talked and laughed, when all the soldiers of the Sichuan army were afraid, the commander was able to stand on the head of the city and laugh freely, which was the greatest encouragement to the soldiers, which was also the reason why the Sichuan army did not collapse at the tense moment.

This is Liu Zhang's first step, first stabilize the morale of the army, and then improve morale, throughout the battle of Yangpingguan, Liu Zhang spared no effort in improving the morale of the Sichuan army and weakening the morale of the Xiliang army.

Because he knew that if the Sichuan army could not improve its morale and did not dare to resist the Xiliang army, no matter how much he prepared for the decisive battle, the discord, ambush, and restraint of the troops would be in vain, and the Sichuan army would be like tofu in front of the Xiliang army, and it would collapse in one rush.

The decisive battle on the fifteenth day was a few days after the siege of the Xiliang army, at this time, generally speaking, the besieging party was exhausted and had to rest, but Liu Zhang saw Ma Chao's arrogance and despised the Sichuan army, as long as he proposed a decisive battle, Ma Chao would definitely fight.

When the decisive battle is chosen, the initiative is completely in the hands of the Sichuan army.

Using the homeless people to defeat the Xiliang Army, Liu Zhang can be described as gaining fame and fortune, fame, is to take in the homeless people, slander the Xiliang Army trampling on the homeless people, but this is enough to make the soldiers feel that the Xiliang Army is evil, the Sichuan Army is righteous, and it has an excellent effect on improving morale.

And this battle is directly the turning point of the morale of the Sichuan army and the Xiliang army, if there is no victory in this hand-to-hand combat, the Sichuan army that has been guarding in seclusion will still be afraid of facing the Xiliang army, it can be said that after this battle, the Sichuan army is no longer afraid of the Xiliang army, and the army that swept through Jingzhou is back.

But Liu Zhang was not satisfied, he wanted to let the Sichuan army completely overwhelm the Xiliang army in terms of morale, so he threw the corpse into the city, Pang De surrendered, and Pang De fought against Ma Chao.

The powerful and incomparable Xiliang Army can be said to be in a hurry to meet the battle under the condition of extreme exhaustion and extremely low morale, and the state of the two sides is exactly two extremes, the Xiliang Army is at a low point, and the Sichuan Army is at its peak, which has caused the Xiliang Army to be unable to oppress the Sichuan Army with a sweeping momentum as it did 15 days ago.

In addition, Liu Zhang also relied on the city to defend it, dismantled the Xiliang army's bypass, raid, two wings stretched, separated Tsing Yi Qiang, and a fatal blow at a critical moment, Wei Yan ambushed in Jiguan Mountain, which was left behind by Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang did all this because he saw Ma Chao's heart, despised the Sichuan army, was eager to win, and was eager to seek a decisive battle, so the time and place of the decisive battle were all determined by Liu Zhang.

The funny thing is that Ma Chao was just at the beginning, Liu Zhang used a wheel battle to disintegrate Ma Chao's personal combat power, which can be said to be the last and biggest loss faced by the Xiliang Army, Ma Chao can not command and charge, and the Xiliang Army can no longer be called the Xiliang Army.

Insight into people's hearts, clever use of the situation, regain the land and people, attack the enemy's key points, front and back, and plot against the enemy.

Heavy infantry, Changge soldiers, hook and sickle soldiers, school knife hands, rolling knife hands, strong archers, whether they were before or not, as long as they could restrain the cavalry, they were all prepared by Liu Zhang in advance and taken to the battlefield.

Liu Zhang took advantage of all the conditions that could be used.

The decisive battle is only one day, but the preparation begins on the day of defeat.

The Sichuan army resisted the cavalry with foot outside the Yangping Pass, defeated the strong with the weak, and gained a great victory that had never been seen before, which was really a difficult move, and the efforts made for this battle were breathtaking, and it was precisely because of its hardships that Liu Zhang's commander's talent could be seen.

After Cao Cao, Liu Zhang's position as the dominant force in the world was established in the Battle of Yangping Pass, and the Sichuan Army became a strong army in the world, which also began from this battle.

Coupled with a general like Wei Yan who is adventurous, dares to take risks, and has the ability to take risks, Zhang Ren is a general like Zheng Keqi, Huang Yueying and Fa are such a genius, and Huang Zhong is such a fierce general, Liu Zhang has already become a wing.

Such a male lord, how can Han Sui Ma Teng be defeated? In addition to having a strong army, Han Ma has nothing but logistics talents, and Liang dares to assert that Han Ma will be defeated and returned. ”

Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei was silent for a long time, at the beginning Nanxiang Zhuge Liang planned the world for himself, first took Yongliang Guanzhong, imitated Qiang Qin, and went south to Bashu with the soldiers of the three Qins, which could take the momentum of the world, and Sun Quan Cao Cao divided the world.

Now that Liu Zhang is so strong, the military generals gathered, and the people were unstable as they said at the beginning, after a rebellion, Jing Yi turned all the people to the heart, and it was so difficult to collect Bashu.

Zhuge Liang probably saw Liu Bei's worries, and said to Liu Bei: "The lord doesn't have to worry, although Liu Zhang is strong, he is compared to Han Sui Ma Teng, his person is violent, unbearable, and not as good as the lord." (To be continued.) )
