Compared with Liu Bei's chuckle, after listening to Mi Yang's thoughts, the ministers were surprised and puzzled.

The main body of Guanzhong is basically composed of Yongliang and Liangzhou, but compared with Liangzhou, Yongzhou is also called Sizhou, which is the essence of Guanzhong.

More than seventy percent of the population in Guanzhong is concentrated in the Yongzhou area.

Moreover, compared with Yongzhou, Liangzhou is not only sparsely populated, but also inhabited by many people of different races, which makes the situation in Liangzhou always very unstable.

It's not that the Hanchen of Liangzhou don't want to recover, but compared to Yongzhou, Liangzhou has a backward strategic significance in any aspect.

Even if, as the general just said, they can't immediately send troops to capture Chang'an, why should they give up the strategic location of Chencang in vain and seize the barren Liangzhou?

Not only were all Hanchen puzzled, but Liu Bei also looked at Mi Yang.

Between Yongzhou and Liangzhou, which one is more important, seems to be a question that does not need to be considered.

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Mi Yang Langlang spoke:

"With the situation of the world, the only one who can weigh it with the world is Liangzhou.

Why?

It is the shape of Liangzhou! ”

Under the puzzled gaze of everyone, Mi Yang pointed to the Liangzhou area on the map of Guanzhong, and he used his body movements to tell everyone in the hall the strategy in his heart more vividly.

"Since the first year of Zhang Wu, the puppet emperor Cao Pi stole the north of my country and built against Wei, looking at the territory of Wei Wei, like an eagle spreading its wings.

Liangzhou and Youzhou are its two wings.

Whoever wants to hunt a falcon, will he not first cut off his wings?

On the other hand, our dynasty was founded in the southwest, and Liangzhou is located in the northwest, and since ancient times, the southwest and northwest have always bent and stretched each other!

The reason why Guanzhong is difficult to attack is that there are many fortified cities, and the other is that our army's grain roads are remote and cannot carry out long-term siege of the city.

But if we recover Liangzhou, then Liangzhou and Liangzhou can be connected immediately.

At that time, our army can hoard military rations in Liangzhou, train sergeants in Liangzhou, and when the time is ripe, re-enter Yongzhou according to the trend of the Weishui River, step through the Tongguan, and break through the formation of bamboo when the army is crusading eastward.

The enemy is in the pass, and the benefits of the plains, I share with the enemy;

The enemy is in the eastern part of the country, and the convenience of the central part of the border is that it can go east to break the enemy.

The so-called those who want to consolidate the southwest must fight for the right; Those who want to regulate the world must first get Yongliang.

If there is a southwest and no Longright, the country will be weak; If it has nothing to do with the East and nothing to do with China, the country will be in danger.

The former is a metaphor for me, and the latter is a metaphor for the enemy.

If our army can take Longyou first, and then recover Liangzhou, and break off the west arm of Wei, Yongzhou has no depth, why can't Chang'an worry about it?

How can the world not be restored? ”

In front of everyone, Mi Yang put forward the idea of giving priority to building strategic depth.

What is the first thing to prioritize for a strategic Armageddon?

It is by no means a rash rush to make a rash move, but to give priority to building the strategic depth of our own army.

In Mi Yang's view, as long as the Han army can capture Liangzhou first, then in the case of Liangzhou and Liangzhou, the strategic depth of the Han army in Guanzhong has already been formed.

How important is strategic depth to an army?

First, the strategic depth can ensure that the army can conduct flexible operations, have ample room for maneuvering and transferring, and will not be dragged in one place by the enemy, thus forming a situation of being counter-encircled.

Second, sufficient strategic depth can fundamentally eliminate the risk of an army becoming a guest army.

Once the Han army entered Guanzhong, then the Han army immediately became a guest army.

When the two armies are at war, the guest army has many drawbacks.

For example, the grain road is long, such as unfamiliar terrain, such as soldiers are not accustomed to water and soil, and so on.

And once these shortcomings are dealt with and accidentally taken advantage of by the enemy, then not to mention whether this battle can be won or not, I am afraid that your own army may face the risk of total annihilation.

This is not alarmism, not to mention too long-term examples, let's just say that the victories of the Han army against the Wei army in recent years are not all classic examples of winning at home and away?

And the Han Dynasty does not have the same strong national strength as Cao Wei, once this kind of disaster befalls the Han army, the foundation of the Han Dynasty will be hit hard in an instant.

But if the Han army can capture Liangzhou, it means that the Han army has a vast base in Guanzhong.

At that time, can the Han army still be regarded as a guest army entering Guanzhong?

Of course not.

Capturing Liangzhou and turning Liangzhou into its own strategic depth is a very important strategy.

Once the Han army can complete this strategy, then no matter how difficult it is to capture Chencang and Chang'an, the Han army is already invincible!

And when it is only a matter of time before the entire Guanzhong is recovered, how far will the day of the unification of the four seas be?

But the strategic benefits of giving priority to recovering Liangzhou are far more than that.

"Most of Guanzhong is a plain, and above the plain, the cavalry is the king.

If there is no large number of cavalry, how will our army defend the grain road?

Although our army was helped by the Qiang cavalry of the two counties, the strength of outsiders did not last long. ”

"Although Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, it has always been a place for horses to raise and graze in our dynasty, once our army can recover Liangzhou, it will not be long before our army can officially organize a cavalry army.

At that time, even if the thief army and the cavalry army come, why should our army worry?

When our army enters the Central Plains in the coming days, how will the enemy control me? ”

In the world, where was the hardest place to form a cavalry army?

It is not the source of horses and knights.

Although the Han and Cao Wei were mortal enemies, the people-to-people trade was never severed, especially in the Liangzhou region bordering Liangzhou.

And the Shu brocade of the Han Dynasty is recognized as hard currency in the world.

Coupled with the economy in Cao Wei, it can only be described in four words.

Therefore, in the past few years, under the auspices of Mi Fang, Dahan can buy excellent war horses through various channels.

In history, when Cao Shuang was on his southern expedition, Fei Yi led the elite cavalry to support Hanzhong.

As for knights, there is actually no shortage of big men.

Not to mention that Liu Bei's starting team is a warrior in the Youzhou area, let's just say that there are still few Wei troops captured by the Han army in recent years?

And you can buy horses, are people still afraid that they can't buy them?

But whether in history or in the present world, Ji Han has never been able to have a large-scale formed cavalry, and the fundamental reason for this is the word ranch!

It's easy to buy a horse, but it's hard to keep a horse.

War horses can be said to be the most precious creatures in the world, people can eat when they are hungry, but war horses can't, they must eat high-quality forage.

Moreover, the war horses not only have to eat well, they can't usually be locked in the stable, they must often be taken out to run in the wilderness, so as to ensure the vitality of the war horses.

The best war horses of the time, if they are kept in the stable, will die of illness.

In order to ensure these two points, it is necessary to have vast pastures.

Therefore, in history, when all nomads entered the Central Plains, the first thing they thought of was to enclose land as pasture.

It's not that they naturally dislike farming, or that they like bitter grazing.

In fact, if they don't quickly enclose the land and build pastures, their strategic weapons, war horses, will soon die in large pieces to show them.

However, since ancient times, almost all the places that can be called pastures in China are in the north.

Pastures are not only grassy, but also have suitable climatic conditions.

The lack of pastures made it difficult for Ji Han to form a large-scale cavalry army.

But this crux, or Ji Han's biggest weakness in the military, will be fundamentally changed after the Han army takes Liangzhou.

There are not only large pastures in Liangzhou, but the pastures in his territory can also be regarded as the best in the world.

The Hexi Corridor is in Liangzhou.

It can be said that Mi Yang's strategic idea of giving priority to seizing Liangzhou can not only construct an excellent strategic depth for the Han army, so that the Han army can steadily rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, but also directly make up for the last short board of the Han army.

After listening to Mi Yang's strategy, the eyes of everyone in the hall were a little dull.

The brush in the historian's hand stopped in the air for a long time, and he couldn't put down the pen for a long time.

The candlelight in the hall was still flickering and confusing people's eyes, but at the moment the hall was silent.

When Mi Yang suggested that he should seize Liangzhou first, the people in the hall were mainly divided into two categories, one was completely incomprehensible and waited for Mi Yang to solve his doubts.

The other type of people have some thoughts that have guessed Mi Yang, but how can they be as comprehensive as Mi Yang's thoughts?

It's not that they are all unwise, it's that they all become not so ambitious because of the obsession in their hearts.

Before today, everyone in the hall only thought about the word Chang'an, but what about Mi Yang?

As Mi Yang said, "The only one who can weigh the world is Liangzhou", Mi Yang focuses on the whole world.

If the Han army can really develop step by step according to Miyang's strategy, what is it to capture Chang'an?

swept Guanzhong, returned to the old capital, went out of the tiger prison in the east, and leveled the world, this is what they should hope for!

Even after Mi Yang finished talking about the strategy in his heart, many people in the hall had not yet reacted from the shock.

Their minds were full of scenes of Mi Yang standing under the map, pointing out the mountains and rivers with his arms outstretched.

This scene made a picture suddenly appear in the minds of many Hanchen in the hall.

A goshawk that was originally soaring in the sky and despised all living beings, but under the bite of a snow-white elk, it broke one of its wings and staggered in the sky.

Correspondingly, a red dragon that was originally prostrate on the ground, but with the support of the snow-white elk, he washed the mud on his body, and his claws were wide open, and the next moment it seemed to be soaring into the sky.

This scene with a strong sense of metaphor made the ministers in the hall who shook not know what to say.

Even Liu Bei's gaze at Mi Yang was full of amazement.

Appreciating Mi Yang's amazing talent in the battle report is different from the feeling of seeing it directly at the scene.

That's what he taught!

No, you have to add food, at least 2,000 households.

However, the thoughts in his heart did not affect Liu Bei's exit and asked, "Will the plan be released?" ”

Just now, Mi Yang has been expounding on the strategic significance of seizing Liangzhou, and now Liu Bei is asking about the specific tactics of capturing Liangzhou.

Regarding this tactic, Mi Yang only talked about half of it.

In the face of Liu Bei's inquiry, Mi Yang said without thinking: "Our army can be divided into two routes, one is personally commanded by His Majesty, and the army marches from the Baochuan Road with great fanfare.

The other way was commanded by the ministers, marching from Qishan to the Longyou region.

When the thief army learned that His Majesty had personally marched from the Baochuan Road, they would have thought that the main target of our army was Chang'an, and the thief army would inevitably relax its defense in the Longyou region.

The way of the soldier lies in the change of virtual reality.

Our army first adjusted the reality into a void, and then attacked the enemy's weakness by surprise, so that the enemy army was exhausted and could not take care of each other.

The minister promised that within a year, Liangzhou would be owned by our army! ”

When Mi Yang said this, his words were full of strong confidence.

And the confidence he revealed was infectious to everyone present.

No one doubts that Mi Yang will not be able to do this when the strategy and tactics are complete.

In this case, why don't you bet on Liangzhou stocks?

After a while, all the ministers in the hall bowed to Mi Yang and said, "Cai! ”

Looking at the ministers' subjugation to Mi Yang, Liu Bei truly realized for the first time that Mi Yang's current prestige among the government and the opposition.

This prestige must be increased by at least 5,000 households!

Yesterday's second chapter.

I want a commuter pass!
