Since December of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, the army officially started from Jiameng Pass, and after nearly a year of fighting, Liu Bei from Jiameng Pass, all the way to the city of Chengdu.

The Jingzhou army led by Zhuge Liang and others, starting from Jingzhou in April of the eighteenth year of Jian'an, lasted half a year, and after conquering the southern counties of Yizhou, they met with Liu Bei in Luocheng.

These two things, taking one out separately, don't seem to be a big deal, but when they are integrated, Zhang Xi suddenly finds that there seems to be something wrong.

In November of the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei had already besieged Chengdu, how do you feel that the timeline has changed? !

Liu Bei seems to have besieged Chengdu more than half a year in advance.

Zhang Xi suddenly panicked a little about what happened next, will he appear one by one as he knows?!

Not to mention anything else, besieging Chengdu City and crushing Liu Zhang's last straw, Ma Chao, will he still appear under Chengdu City? !

At this time, Ma Chao should be on Guanlong, fighting each other with the wealthy families in Liangzhou, and then being spared by Wang Yi, right? !

Zhang Xi suddenly felt that the next thing seemed to be out of control.

A traverser, after losing the ability to foresee, can really strategize and dominate in this era?!

Zhang Xi was a little anxious about this.

And now Liu Beijun is resting in Luocheng and reorganizing the sergeants and pawns of the army.

The next thing is to besiege Chengdu, who is the main general of the attack of the four gates, and who are the deputy generals, and some arrangements must be made.

Therefore, Liu Beijun conducted a military meeting.

At the military meeting, Liu Bei was asking Zhuge Liang about the relevant arrangements of Jingzhou, while Zhuge Liang bowed down to answer Zhang Xi and continued to be anxious.

During the banquet, Fa Zheng proposed that he could write a letter of persuasion to Liu Zhang to see if he could persuade him to surrender. Zhang Xi continued to be anxious.

In order to boost morale, Liu Bei announced in public that after the capture of Chengdu, the treasury property would be obtained by the soldiers, and Zhang Xi was still anxious if he did not take a penny.

In the end, Zhuge Liang couldn't stand it anymore, and asked out loud, "Yuan Chang. Yuan Chang?! Liang Guanyuan's long brows were tightly locked, but what were his concerns? ”

Zhang Xi was stunned, and then realized that now was the military discussion, not the time for him to be in a daze, so he quickly shook his head and said, "There is no such thing, the military advisor is too worried!" ”

When Zhang Xi said this, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Fei.

"Hahahaha, the military advisor is really worried, according to my old Zhang, the chief is just missing his wife!" Zhang Fei smiled and said to Zhang Xi, "I should have made it clear to Yuan Chang earlier, but I haven't been able to do it at the right time. After the younger siblings returned from Jiamengguan, they waited for childbirth in the house with peace of mind, and at the end of last year, they gave birth to a daughter for the head of the Yuan."

Before Zhang Fei finished speaking, Zhang Xi immediately rushed to Zhang Fei and said with a nervous face, "Third General, where is the letter?!" ”

I'll go, you didn't say anything so important earlier.

Sun Shangxiang's pregnancy, Zhang Xi has always remembered.

But since last winter, Zhang Xi has been fighting, and the connection between Yizhou and the outside world has been somewhat affected, and Zhang Xi really hasn't received any letters from Sun Shangxiang.

Counting the days, when Sun Shangxiang gave birth, it should be when Zhang Xi rose up as the vanguard army to attack the south, at that time, Zhang Xi himself didn't know where he would appear one day, and the letter couldn't be delivered at all.

As for arriving in Yucheng, let alone arriving in Ruocheng, who was busy fighting at that time, who had nothing to do to send a letter to the war zone.

Therefore, Sun Shangxiang's letter to the family was brought to Zhang Xi when Zhang Fei entered Sichuan, and the delay was quite long.

But in these years, Zhang Xi can already deeply understand what it means to write a letter to the family.

didn't care about the military discussion, and it was a bit rude, so he asked Zhang Fei for a letter on the spot.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei and Zhang Xi are really acquainted, and the relationship between the two is really good, so they don't care.

And everyone knows that this is Zhang Xi's first child, and most of the people present, whether they are civil servants or military generals, have a similar experience, but no one will accuse Zhang Xi of being rude to do his job.

Of course, it is also related to Zhang Xi's current status, just now Liu Bei also exaggerated Xi, saying that this time he raised troops, Jingzhou, Zhang Fei is the first hero, and south, Zhang Xi is the first hero.

Even Zhang Fei laughed, helped Zhang Xi play the round, and said, "Look, I just said that Yuan Chang is worried about his wife, it's really good, right?!" ”

Hawkers, as soon as Zhang Fei said this, Zhang Xi realized that it was now a military discussion.

Resisting the urge to open the letter now, Zhang Xi bowed to Liu Bei and apologized, saying, "Xi is really worried about his wife and child, and he lost his temper for a while, I hope I ask the lord to forgive me." ”

Liu Bei just smiled and said, "Yuan Chang doesn't have to apologize, this is human nature." ”

And Zhuge Liang also helped Zhang Xi to skip this matter, and said directly, "Since the Yuan Chang has no objection, then the siege of Chengdu will be arranged like this. I ask you to work together to accomplish this great achievement. ”

After Zhuge Liang finished the arrangement, Liu Bei announced the dismissal of the meeting, and each will return to the camp to prepare for the march to Chengdu at any time.

Zhang Xi also planned to retreat from the arrangement, but soon, he was stopped by Zhuge Liang again.

"Does the chief have some leisure?!" Zhuge Liang smiled, caught up with Zhang Xi's footsteps, and said, "If you have time, how about going to the Liang camp to talk?!" ”

Zhang Xi looked at Zhuge Liang and nodded.

Although I was in a hurry to go back to the camp to read the family letter, but. Zhuge Liang won't ask him to catch up for no reason, right?!

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang still felt that Zhang Xi's behavior just now was not like he was worried about his wife and children, and he still thought that Zhang Xi had noticed that he had arranged something inappropriate.

And Zhang Xi can't tell Zhuge Liang, I used to have the ability to watch the stars at night and predict the future, but now I suddenly don't, so I'm a little anxious Zhuge Liang will treat Zhang Xi as a god.

Although there are a lot of people who pretend to be gods and ghosts in these years, Zuo Ci, Guan Lu, and Yu Ji are all cattle people in this area. But as far as Zhuge Liang is concerned, he is not the kind of person who believes in ghosts and gods.

So Zhang Xi could only pretend to be pretending and said to Zhuge Liang, "There is nothing wrong with the arrangement of the military division. It's just that Xi thinks that Liu Zhang is not like such a person who sits and waits to be killed, and he must be prevented from fighting trapped beasts. ”

This is nonsense, Liu Zhang, who has been able to sit in Yizhou for so many years, is certainly not a good stubble.

But when Zhuge Liang heard this, he nodded slightly, and said in agreement, "Liang is also worried about this matter, if Liu Zhang really fights for the trapped defense, he will defend the city with elite soldiers inside, and even Zhang Lu and even Longyou Xiahou Yuan and Yecheng Cao Cao. Yuan Chang thinks, how to deal with this matter?! ”

When Zhang Xi heard this, he thought about it for a while, and immediately understood Zhuge Liang's worry.

There are two places at the Yizhou Gateway, both of which are crucial places.

One is Yufu, that is, the White Emperor City, which is the gateway to defend against the enemy in the east.

In this place, Zhuge Liang was not careless and appointed Chen Zhi to lead the army to guard it.

The two are Jiameng Pass, which is the gateway to defend against the enemy in the northwest.

In this place, only Huo Jun led a thousand soldiers, and he had to face the attack of more than 10,000 troops sent by Liu Zhang.

Now although Liu Beijun is approaching Chengdu, Liu Zhang seems to be helpless, but in fact, it is not that there is no way to end up together.

If Liu Zhang really wants to make up his mind to defend Chengdu, with Chengdu's city defense and hoarded grain and grass, it will be no problem at all for a year and a half.

And if Liu Zhang contacts Zhang Lu and even Cao Cao at this time, attacks Jia Mengguan before and after, breaks through Huo Jun's defense, and drives straight into Shu, then he Liu Zhang may be finished, but Liu Bei will not please either.

It's not impossible.

Cao's Xiahou Yuan was on the right side of Longyou, and he could attack Hanzhong at any time.

And Cao Cao, even if he doesn't take Yangping Pass or Longdao, he can enter Hanzhong from the three eastern counties, but he can bring fewer soldiers.

Once Cao Cao entered Hanzhong, not to mention that Zhang Lu couldn't stop it, Liu Bei personally led the troops to resist, and the victory or defeat was still between five or five, but in this way, Liu Bei could no longer besiege Chengdu.

Of course, Liu Zhang may not be able to really get out of trouble, but Liu Bei, I'm afraid he won't be able to completely swallow Shu, so that the variables will increase, and no one knows what the situation in Shu will become.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Xi suddenly became a headache.

See, this is the disadvantage of not having the foresight and needing to think about the problem for yourself.

Ma Chao was still fighting with the wealthy families in Liangzhou and Longyou, and Xiahou Yuan was watching the play happily. Now that the entire Liangzhou is in a mess, there is no way to threaten Yongzhou, Xiahou Yuan really has the strength and ability to raid Hanzhong.

Regarding this matter, Zhang Xi didn't dare to talk about it anymore, asked Zhuge Liang for information about the Northland, and began to think and analyze seriously with the experience he had accumulated over the years.

After a period of tidying up, Zhang Xi said tentatively, "Is it really possible for Xiahou Yuan to enter the Han army in the uncertain situation of Liangzhou, regardless of the comfort of the grain road?!" Cao Cao returned to Yecheng from Misukou in April, would he really raise troops again in such a short time, march into Yongliang in a big way, and peep into Hanzhong?! ”

Zhang Xi used a question, he was asking Zhuge Liang, because he didn't have a bottom in his heart.

As for Zhuge Liang, after listening to Zhang Xi's words, he began to re-analyze the information in the north.

After finding a certain piece of information, Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Cao thief for a while, I am afraid that he will not go west." ”

Zhang Xi picked up the piece of information and looked at it - in May of the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao added nine tin, called the Duke of Wei, built the Wei State, and set the capital in Ye.

Indissoluble?!

What does this mean?!

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and explained, "Cao Thief, the new Duke of Wei, when he needs to raise hope, I am afraid that he will not easily recruit in person If only Xiahou Yuan comes with Yongzhou's troops, Liang has his own law." ”
