Guo Jia slowly walked into the hall and spit out a word: "War." ”

"Okay." Cao Cao said loudly: "Benxiang also thinks it's time to fight with the butcher, this dog who guards the household, Benxiang has never looked down on him, but he has defeated one opponent after another, and now he is threatening Benxiang, Benxiang wants to see how capable he is." ”

Cao Cao stood up: "Order, Wancheng Zhang Liao defends Fancheng, Xiahou Yuan immediately led the army into Guanzhong, occupy the pass, Yu Ban, Mao Jue stayed in Youzhou, and guarded against Wu Huan, Yuan's family, and Liaodong Gongsun Du while Tuntian.

The rest of the whole army went south, requisitioned grain and grass in various places, prepared to seize Guanzhong, and fought a decisive battle with the Yizhou butcher. ”

"The prime minister will win." Hundreds of civil and military officers bowed down in unison, and Guo Jia's eyes that had always been worried became bright.

…………

Leaving a part of the Sichuan army to garrison the front line of Qinchuan, Liu Zhang led an army of 150,000 to approach Shicheng, where Liu Bei was located, and Shicheng only had more than 10,000 defenders, who refused to be able to block it at all, and the people of the whole city were panicked.

"What can I do about this, military division, Liu Zhang's army is pressing, our army is definitely not an opponent, what is the perfect strategy for the military division?"

Zhuge Liang was defeated, Liu Bei didn't have any intention of blaming, and kindly comforted Zhuge Liang, but he cried bitterly at Zhang Fei's death, and vowed to avenge the third brother.

"Lord, now Xiliang only has 10,000 soldiers and horses from Wuwei, Han Sui and Ma Chao have all surrendered to Liu Zhang, Xiliang must be fluctuating in people's hearts and can't stay, we can only retreat to Guanzhong and join forces with the second general."

"Guanzhong, isn't that giving Xiliang to Liu Zhang? In that case, we will be caught between Cao Cao and Liu Zhang. ”

"There's no other way. Ma Chao defected. We can't stay in Xiliang. After retreating into Guanzhong, he could choke Yi County in the west to guard against Liu Zhang, and guard against Cao Cao in the east of Hangu Pass, guarding it tightly, looking for opportunities to change. Zhuge Liang said with a frown.

Liu Bei glanced at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang rarely showed such sorrow when deciding on major events, which also means that Zhuge Liang is also worried about the future. And not in general sinister.

"Sir. Is this really possible? Cao Cao, Liu Zhang, such as the two biggest princes today, if we occupy Guanzhong, won't we cut off the two strongest forces? Are we likely to survive?

Even if there is a fortress in front of Guanzhong, and a natural danger in the Qingni Pass of Hangu Pass, but Liu Zhang and Cao Cao all covet Guanzhong, how can we fight the enemy with such a small number of troops? ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "There is no way now, lord." Let's take it one step at a time. ”

"Take one step at a time, Kong Ming. You've never said anything like that, and you didn't say that when you were in Nanxiang. ”

Zhuge Liang looked up at Liu Bei, Liu Bei's tone and face were a little angry, it seemed to be the kind of anger that had been suppressed for a long time, but it was inadvertently revealed, Zhuge Liang was a little shocked in his heart.

But Liu Bei's anger flashed away, and Zhuge Liang only thought it was an illusion.

"Kong Ming, I think that although there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong now, and there are dangers, the geographical location is too special, and we have a dead end when we enter Guanzhong."

"What does the lord think?"

"Retreat to Xiliang."

"Xiliang?"

Liu Bei said: "Kong Ming, I thought about it carefully, although Han Sui and Ma Chao have surrendered, but Xiliang is remote, and we will not face Liu Zhang's main force."

Xiliang is leaning on the grassland, the forces are complicated, we can have room for maneuver, enter Guanzhong and sit still, retreat to Xiliang, at least there is a glimmer of life, just like that, the whole army retreats to Xiliang. ”

Liu Bei left, Zhao Yun was a little puzzled, and asked Zhuge Liang: "Military advisor, why don't I understand the words of the lord?" Why didn't we face Liu Zhang's main force when we retreated into Xiliang? Even if there are two generals to contain him, Liu Zhang only needs to stay in one army to defend Guanzhong, and Liu Zhang will chase after us.

The Xiliang forces are intricate, and Yun doesn't understand, now that most of the Xiliang warlords have been pacified, there are only a few people left in Beigongzhi, how can it be complicated? ”

Zhuge Liang was silent for a long time: "Zilong, have you noticed the abnormal movement of the Cao army in Wancheng?" ”

"Cao Jun wants to knock on the pass, which will only contain the second general's forces even more, what does it have to do with Liu Zhang?"

"Let's hope it's okay."

Zhuge Liang walked out, and with Ming Rui's insight, Zhuge Liang found that although Liu Bei did not criticize his battle of Qinchuan, Zhuge Liang could feel that Liu Bei was angry in his heart.

The anger that emerged by chance just now has been haunting Zhuge Liang's heart.

But this is understandable, in the first battle of Qinchuan, as the commander, he was drunk and led to the defeat of the whole army, not only sacrificing the main force of the Liang army, but also taking the life of the lord's brother.

Liu Bei can do this, it's already good.

But Zhuge Liang was afraid that at such a moment, Liu Bei would do something irrational, and from Liu Bei's words just now, he deeply felt this.

Guanzhong to contain Liu Zhang's main force, it is absolutely impossible for Guan Yu's 30,000 soldiers and horses alone, those 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard against Hangu Pass, Qingni Pass, Yisai, and Wei Yan's 5,000 troops in Qianzhuling, which are not enough at all, so how can they be contained.

As long as Liu Zhang left 10,000 people to defend Guanzhong, he could also lead the army to advance into Xiliang.

In addition, Liu Bei's sentence: "Xiliang is close to the grassland, and the forces are complicated", which made Zhuge Liang feel up and down.

…………

Liu Zhang led the army to reach thirty miles away from Shicheng, and the pioneer Wang Shuang sent people back.

"Report to the lord, our army attacked the city for half a day, took the stone city, Liu Bei Zhuge Liang placed coal sulfur in the residential houses in the city, the whole city was on fire, our army could not advance, Liu Bei led the army to flee to Xiliang."

"Burning the city?" Liu Zhang's eyebrows furrowed, thinking of Xinye in history, it seems that the combination of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang likes to play this trick: "What about the people of Shicheng? Did you run away with Liu Bei? ”

"The lord is really like a god, about half of the people in Shicheng followed Liu Bei Zhuge Liang to Xiliang, and half wandered in the wilderness, I don't know why, General Wang Shuang has ordered that it is strictly forbidden to disturb the people."

Shicheng originally had a small population, but after Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang brought 200,000 Guanzhong people to Shicheng, Shicheng suddenly became the most populous city north of Yongzhou and the entire Xiliang. Even Tianshui County can't compare to Ji County.

The people toiled for several years. Finally put down roots in Stone City. got rid of the warlord chaos in Guanzhong and lived a stable life, of course, he didn't want to wander again.

Who finally has a place to settle down and goes to another country, not to mention the bandits, barbaric and uneducated Xiliang, Xiliang folk customs in the eyes of the Han people in the mainland, it is a wilderness. It is similar to the territory of Xianbei and the Xiongnu.

So this time, the people of Shicheng, even if the city of Shicheng was burned, did not follow Liu Bei.

Huang Yueying stepped forward and said: "Lord, Liu Bei did not vote for Guanzhong, but for Xiliang, there must be something strange." ”

Liu Zhang took a deep breath: "Herald, Wang Shuang, Pang Rou, Ma Chao." Fine seal pool, thunder copper. Han Sui led the cavalry around Shicheng and pursued Xiliang, trying not to hurt the people, but as a last resort...... Can be engaged inexpensively. ”

"Yes."

Liu Zhang led the army to the stone city, the stone city was blazing, on the outskirts of the stone city, there were people everywhere at a loss, some holding children and looking at the Sichuan army blankly, some looking at the fields and crying bitterly.

The autumn harvest was approaching, but Liu Zhang only saw that the wheat and vegetables in the fields had been destroyed, and there were traces of horses' hooves and crops covered with stones and tiles.

Liu Zhang jumped off the war horse and moved away a squatting stone with his own hands, and the cone-shaped beans that had just grown inside were pressed into the soil, and they had rotted to death.

Liu Zhang now knows why half of the people fled with Liu Bei, the houses were burned, the crops were destroyed, and the people didn't run with Liu Bei, was there a way out?

When the soldiers of the Sichuan army saw this tragic situation, they all cursed Liu Bei in their hearts.

"Yueying, why did you say Liu Bei did this? Run with the people, here to the Yongliang war horse galloping, can he run away? ”

Huang Yueying shook her head: "I don't really understand, hundreds of thousands of people should be able to achieve a little bit of the effect of blocking the enemy, but the effect will not be too great, and Liu Bei should understand that we are not good men and women." ”

"Then you say that Liu Bei really loves the people? Even if they fled, they let the people follow. ”

Huang Yueying looked at the people dotted on the field and the destroyed armor, smiled, and said, "Lord, now is the time to win the hearts of the people." ”

Liu Zhang glanced at the people who were holding their heads and crying: "It's not that I don't want to help them, my army doesn't have much food and grass, there are basically no young and middle-aged people here, how can young people cry here and wait for death, all women and children are old and weak, I think it's better to give them a few days of rations and let people take them to Tianshui." ”

"Tianshui is better than Xiliang, but it is not what they want, they want to stay in their homeland, and if they go to Xiliang at this time, I don't know how many people will die halfway.

Lord, these are not the people of Shicheng, they are the people of Yongliang, as long as you help them, the whole Yongliang will be grateful to Dade, and they will know that our Sichuan army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

The people of Yongliang are not impressed by our Sichuan army, almost from hearsay, if these people are settled, it will be a reassuring pill for the people of Yongliang, and this bit of food is worth it. ”

Liu Zhang walked up to a woman holding a child and looking at Liu Zhang in fear.

Liu Zhang squatted down, touched the child's pink and filthy face, and said to the woman, "Why don't you follow Liu Bei?" ”

"We orphans and widows can't leave."

"What about men?"

"Fighting with you, dead."

"Do you hate our Sichuan Army?"

The woman did not speak, and her face was numb.

"Do you hate Liu Bei?"

The woman did not speak, and her face was numb.

"Why did you come here from Chang'an, but now you don't go to Xiliang? Back then, Liu Bei did the same thing as he did today, destroying everything for you and forcing you to go with him.

But when the war in Chang'an was chaotic, you wanted to escape, and now the stone city is stable, and the west is cold and bitter, so you don't want to go, so you stay, but you still have only one way to die. ”

"Folks." Liu Zhang shouted, and seeing that Liu Zhang was still very kind, some dazed people leaned over.

"Aren't you strange, Uncle Liu Bei, who took so much trouble to settle your homes, distribute food for you, and send soldiers to reclaim the fields for you, why should you destroy your homes, destroy your crops, and destroy everything for you now?

Why is Liu Bei today completely different from Liu Bei back then. ”

The people all looked at Liu Zhang, which was also the confusion in their hearts, when Chang'an was in turmoil for many years, the people were struggling to make a living, or they joined Jingyi, or entered the Central Plains, and the people of Guanzhong did not want to escape from that cage.

So even if Liu Bei dug up Jingshui and ruined everything for them, they were still willing to follow Liu Bei, because Uncle Liu Huang, who was full of benevolence and righteousness, promised them that they would live a good life.

Later, he really lived a good life, Liu Bei personally went to the farmer's house every day to greet him, personally inspected the fields, and personally distributed food to the people, and all the people remembered it vividly.

Charity, kindness, and proximity to the people are all the people's evaluation of Liu Bei.

But today, Liu Bei destroyed their settled homeland, and the crops they were about to harvest, like a tyrant, wanted to take them to the bitter cold land of the West that was not inhabited.

In the past, he took them out of suffering and built their homes, but today he destroys their homes and brings them to suffering.

These people have not reacted until now, they only feel that the benevolent and righteous Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang have been bewitched.

Liu Zhang said loudly in a calm tone: "Back then, Liu Bei took you away, not because you couldn't get through Guanzhong, but because he Liu Bei couldn't get through Guanzhong, not that you had to leave Guanzhong, but that he Liu Bei had to leave Guanzhong."

But think about it, if Liu Bei took a few thousand soldiers to Shicheng, which had a population of only more than 10,000, what time would it be? Can someone make him a soldier to fight? Will someone be able to grow military rations for him?

For the sake of the soldiers, for the sake of military rations, they must take you with them, the so-called to take you out of suffering, is to use your hands and blood and sweat to stand for him, so Jingshui broke the embankment, so you came to this place in Shicheng, so Liu Bei tried his best to let you survive, so your son, husband, and father went to the front line for him.

Of course, if he Liu Bei ends from here, even if the purpose is not good, it is indeed for your benefit.

But Liu Bei, the benevolent and righteous Uncle Liu Huang in your heart, will always only have his own purpose, and will not take care of anything else, and today they destroyed your land and property just so that you can follow him Liu Bei away.

Because just like at the beginning, he Liu Bei couldn't stay in Shicheng anymore.

They need you to go to Xiliang, continue to grow food for him, continue to fight for him, and at the same time, use your flesh and blood to block the iron hooves of our Sichuan army.

You will think that Liu Bei who was in the middle of the Guanzhong, Liu Bei who governed Shicheng at the beginning, and Liu Bei who escaped today are judged to be two people, but they are actually one person, Liu Bei has never changed, selfish, and unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal. ”

From Liu Zhang's words, they heard a meaning, Liu Bei took them out of the customs, the careful governance in Shicheng, and the destruction of the city's crops and escape from Shicheng today were all for his personal interests.

Now that they have nothing, they are even worse than when they were in Guanzhong, how can these people not be angry. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
