The reason why Yang Ling rejected Deng Ai's proposal was also very simple.

In history, Deng Ai smuggled through Yinping and succeeded in a surprise attack on Chengdu, in addition to the element of luck, to a large extent, it was also because of the withering of talents in the late Shu Han Dynasty.

In the late Shu Han Dynasty, except for Jiang Wei, there were almost no talents in the Shu Han Dynasty.

Even living fossils like Liao Hua were sent to defend against Cao Wei.

In the court of Shu Han, the surrender faction led by Qian Zhou constantly weakened the will of the Shu Han army and people to resist.

This is also why, after Deng Ai's army appeared in Shudi, the Fucheng defender Ma Miao would surrender the city.

However, it is not the late stage of Shu Han, Liu Bei is still there, and he is still assisted by top strategists such as Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng.

Although the Shu Han was in turmoil, Qian Zhou and others had not yet taken power, and the will to resist of the Shu Han court was still quite tenacious.

Under such circumstances, Deng Ai's strategy is just like Wei Yan's Meridian Valley plot in history, which is a little too dangerous!

At present, Cao Wei's soldiers are strong and strong, and Yang Ling really can't bear to let the three brothers risk their lives like this.

It's just that Yang Ling has good intentions, but he can't tell Deng Ai and the three of them clearly.

Everyone discussed again and decided to officially leave Yangping Pass three days later!

……

Outside the city of Chengdu, an army came from afar, led by Liu Bei's righteous son Liu Feng.

Behind him, in addition to the soldiers of Shu Han, there were many prisoners who were chained.

Liu Feng turned his head to look at these prisoners and rebuked coldly,

"Hurry up, you thieves!"

Because of dissatisfaction with Liu Bei's oppression, the local heroes of Yizhou County secretly contacted Zhu Bao, Gao Ding and others, intending to raise an army to rebel.

However, before they could do anything, the matter was revealed.

Liu Bei immediately sent Liu Feng to lead a large army to go to the crusade.

Liu Feng easily defeated the traitors, captured all the people at the head alive, and planned to bring them to Chengdu and dedicate them to Liu Bei!

"Big brother!"

Before Liu Feng arrived at the city gate, he saw a young man with a simple face and a team of followers, hurrying over.

Seeing the two of them, Liu Feng couldn't help but smile,

"Adou, why are you here?"

"Big brother, I am specially here to greet you on the orders of my father."

The boy laughed.

Yes, the person who came was Liu Bei's biological son, Liu Chan, nicknamed Adou.

In this life, Yang Ling subdued Zhao Yun in advance, and Liu Chan failed to follow Zhao Yun in and out of Changban Slope seven times in and out, and Ga Quack killed indiscriminately.

Therefore, Liu Chan avoided being thrown to the ground by Liu Bei and falling into a fool.

Liu Feng was slightly stunned and said in a low voice,

"But what happened?"

"I heard my father say that it seems that Cao Wei sent troops to attack us."

Liu Chan explained.

Liu Feng's heart sank, and he ordered his subordinates to escort a group of anti-thieves to the prison.

He followed behind Liu Chan and went straight to the palace.

Shu Han Palace.

Liu Bei is on the throne, and Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Zhang Fei and other generals are on the left and right.

Everyone was serious, and the atmosphere in the hall was quite serious!

"Meet my father!"

Liu Feng saluted Liu Bei and said respectfully,

"According to the will of his father, the son has taken down Yonghong and other anti-thieves, and he has been imprisoned in prison at this time!"

"My son didn't disappoint me! But put this on hold until later! ”

Liu Bei praised Liu Feng for a few words, then changed his words and said in a deep voice,

"Now that Cao Wei has sent an army of 300,000 to attack our Han territory from land and water, what do you think?"

When his words landed, everyone gasped and showed shock!

You must know that today's Yizhou is only 900,000.

Cao Wei was dispatched all of a sudden, nearly thirty percent of the population of Yizhou!

With the strength of about 100,000 troops of Shu Han, how can they resist?

Everyone subconsciously looked at Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng on the side.

After all, in the Shu Han Dynasty, they have always been responsible for making suggestions.

Fa Zheng groaned slightly, and took the lead in speaking,

"Your Majesty, according to the information received, Cao Wei has deployed 200,000 troops in the north, but in Jingzhou, there are only 100,000 troops."

"And Yang Ling is in Hanzhong, and Pang Tong lives in Jingzhou."

"Therefore, according to the humble opinion of the ministers, Cao Wei's main energy should still be placed in the north."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang nodded and agreed,

"Mr. Xiaozhi's opinion is the same as that of the minister. The minister also felt that Cao Wei should attack from the north. ”

The Yangtze River in the area of Ba County is full of high mountains and dangerous waters, deep river valleys and passes.

The Cao Wei Sailors led by Pang Tong and Gan Ning, if they went downstream, might be able to gain some advantages.

But now they are swimming against the current, and if they want to capture Ba County, they are afraid that it will be difficult.

Therefore, whether it is Zhuge Liang or Fa Zheng, they all feel that Pang Tong's soldiers and horses are feints.

Cao Wei's main direction of attack is still from the Golden Bull Road.

"Since the prime minister and the great Sima both think so, how should they deal with Yang Ling in the north?"

"The steepness of the Golden Bull Road is far above the mountain road in Hanzhong."

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said slowly,

"We just need to guard the Sword Gate Pass and not let Cao Wei come in."

"Even if Yang Ling has a million soldiers and horses, he can only sigh!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded happily and said,

"What the prime minister said is extremely true!"

He passed by the Sword Pavilion, and naturally knew that the terrain of the Sword Pavilion was grim and dangerous, and it was really a place where a man could not open it.

"What the prime minister said is reasonable, but blindly sticking to it is too passive."

Fa Zheng said unhurriedly,

"I suggest that you can divide a group of soldiers and horses and go to Baishui Pass."

Baishui Pass is located in the north of the Sword Pavilion, and it is necessary to travel a few miles to the northeast after leaving the Sword Pavilion, and then pass through a three-way pass, and then turn to the northwest to reach it.

In its further northwest direction, there is Yinping Bridge and Yinping City.

Previously, Liu Bei was besieged by Yang Ling in Hanzhong, that is, he made a detour to Yinping, returned to Jiange through Baishui Pass, and finally returned to Chengdu.

If the troops are divided to guard Baishui Pass, once Cao Wei's army opens outside Jianmen Pass, the defenders of Baishui Pass will be unable to advance or retreat and become a lone army!

Therefore, hearing Fa Zheng's words, everyone was slightly stunned, and they didn't understand why he made this proposal.

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Fa Zheng smiled slightly and said slowly,

"The 50,000 army in Liangzhou, led by the assassin Guo Huai, is bound to go south from Baishui Pass to meet with Yang Ling's soldiers."

"If we let them converge, the pressure on us will increase greatly."

"Therefore, by dividing the troops to go to Baishui Pass, we can delay the convergence of Cao Wei's army."

"Cao Wei sent more than 200,000 troops this time, and the logistical pressure must be extremely great, as long as it can be delayed for a day, our chances of victory will be one more point!"

"As for the issue of the defenders of Baishui Pass after Yang Ling's troops went to Jianmen Pass, in fact, the minister had already made a decision."

Fa Zheng paused, word by word,

"The minister plans to take the initiative!"
