In fact, to put it bluntly, Liu Bei's strategy of taking Chen Cangdao to enter Guanzhong is actually not brilliant.

Han Xin came out of Chen Cangdao, which was called a surprise, but if Liu Bei copied this route, it would be called Yixiao and generous.

Whether it is the suddenness of the battle or the terrain conditions, Liu Bei actually does not have the possibility of copying Han Xin's route.

Therefore, from the beginning, Liu Bei's strategy was full of uncertainty.

If he can't quickly break through Chen Cangdao, then Liu Bei can only retreat. If this is the case, then it should not be marched in the first place, which will startle the grass and snakes, so that the Cao Wei defenders in Liangzhou and Guanzhong will be on guard.

Not to mention that after breaking through Chencang Road, Liu Bei also has to face a series of uncertain factors, such as the Liangzhou Legion behind him has not been solved, what to do if the Liangzhou Legion sneaks up on the back road, the number of Chang'an defenders in front is too large, what if he sticks to wait for help, or what to do if the Cao army in Liangzhou and Chang'an attacks Liu Bei before and after. There are just too many uncontrollable factors.

This is the reason why Zhuge Liang is unwilling to support Liu Bei's strategy.

And in this regard, Fa Zheng and Pang Tong also understand, otherwise they would not have sat down together to discuss.

If you want to change Liu Bei's strategy, you must come up with another strategy that is better, more feasible, and at the same time can achieve Liu Bei's goal, so as to persuade Liu Bei to change his mind.

Otherwise, even if it is Fazheng, there is no way to completely reverse Liu Bei's thoughts, so he can only take one step at a time and try to help Liu Bei reduce his losses.

After clarifying the current situation, Zhuge Liang officially got to the point - how to choose a more feasible strategy to help Liu Bei complete the strategic goal of capturing Guanzhong and occupying Chang'an in a short period of time.

Zhuge Liang's plan to break the dragon is actually a good method, but Liu Bei can't wait, and he dislikes that this strategy has taken too long to realize.

Therefore, Zhang Xi suggested how to make some modifications on the basis of Zhuge Liang's plan to speed up the process.

After all, the current situation of Liu Bei's group is much better than that of Zhuge Liang when he came out of Qishan in history, not only Jingzhou is in hand, but also Xiangfan.

So, Zhang Xi's suggestion is that Zhuge Liang's plan to break the dragon can be implemented first.

Zhang Xi believes that as long as they can break off Long, block the relationship between Guanzhong and Liangzhou, and use the relationship between the wealthy families of Liangzhou and Cao Wei, it is very likely that they will not have to fight at all, and they will surrender directly.

Even if Guo Huai of Liangzhou does not give up, then Liu Bei's group only needs to divide a part of the soldiers to stick to the two counties of Wudu and Longxi, drag Guo Huai, and the rest of the soldiers march east to attack Chang'an to attract Cao Hong's main army to come to the decisive battle.

And the real killer is placed in the direction of Xiangfan.

Let the second master lead the army to attack Nanyang, contain Nanyang Zhang Liao's army, make the hinterland of the Central Plains dare not support Chang'an unscrupulously, and at the same time let the second master send a wise and brave general to go to Nanxiang and Weixing all the way, and directly attack Chang'an? !

After Zhuge Liang and the others listened to Zhang Xi's thoughts, they began to plan on the map and think about the gains and losses.

And Fa Zheng first put forward his own idea. Since you want to sneak attack, you must choose the shortest route and try to take advantage of the unpreparedness.

But if you send troops from Xiangyang, go to Nanxiang, Weixing, to the right Fufeng, and finally attack Chang'an. This road is too long, as long as there is a slight resistance, it will arouse Cao Wei's vigilance, and everyone will know that this is a sneak attack on Chang'an's troops.

And not to mention anything else, Youfufeng will definitely be defended by Cao Jun, that place is not far from Shangyong County, as long as Cao Hong is not stupid, he will not be unguarded against Kou Feng in the direction of Shangyong.

Pang Tong also nodded and agreed with Fa Zheng's point of view, but at the same time, he also thought that although the idea of a sneak attack by detour was a bit unrealistic, if it was a partial division, it would be a good way to attract Cao Jun to divide his troops.

In this regard, Xu Shu also agreed, but Xu Shu thought that there was no need for Guan Yu to divide his troops, after all, Guan Yu wanted to attack Nanyang, and Xiangfan's troops were not much, so it was better not to divide his troops rashly.

Since it was just to attract Chang'an's guard Cao Hong to divide his troops, Xu Shu suggested that he directly order the Shangyong Kou Feng to send troops to Wei Xing and attack Youfufeng, so that he could also divide Chang'an's troops? !

Unless Cao Hong is willing to sit back and watch Wei Xing and Youfufeng fall, if this is the case, then Kou Feng is not polite, and directly comes to Chang'an City, waiting for the opportunity to fight against Liu Bei's main army.

And when the Yizhou soldiers went out of Qishan, captured Wudu County and Longxi County, and completed the broken Long, the Yizhou soldiers also divided their troops, all the way to attack Anding, contain the Liangzhou army, just in case, and the other way directly eastward, into Chang'an, it is best to lead Cao Hong to the field, and strive to break Cao Hong and occupy Chang'an.

The five of them got together and discussed such a set of strategies for using troops, which was decent.

The advantage is that you can advance and retreat freely, and you can return to Longshan to hold on to the worst of the worst, and you can attack Liangzhou at any time after completing the break.

But the disadvantage is that if you storm Chang'an, you need to fight with Cao's army, once Cao's army relies on the Chang'an city wall to defend and hold on to help, it may not be able to complete Liu Bei's strategic goal of occupying Chang'an.

In other words, Liu Bei may not necessarily accept it.

But. Zhang Xi and the others discussed for a long time, but they really couldn't come up with a better and faster way to control the risk in Liu Bei's strategy of going out of Chen Cangdao.

Chen Cangdao's strategy is either a big victory or a big defeat, and our family has a weak foundation, and it really can't afford to toss.

To be able to come up with such a strategy to conquer Chang'an on Zhuge Liang's strategy is already racking his brains. At least it is much more feasible than Liu Bei's plan to directly attack Chen Cangdao.

Several people continued to discuss and improve this plan, and at the same time formulated a response plan for various accidents that may occur, and strived to make the plan as perfect as possible.

Zhang Xi, in particular, pointed out the key location of Broken Dragon very bluntly - Qishan Fort and Street Pavilion.

If you send troops to take the Qishan Road and march into Longxi County, then these two places are the most unavoidable.

Qishan Fort is the throat of the march into Longxi, if this place is not captured, the speed of the march into Longxi will be slowed down, and the grain route will be under the threat of Cao's army at any time.

The street pavilion is the key position to completely seal Longshan.

Guanzhong passes through Longshan, and there are four roads into Liangzhou, namely Wating Road, Jitou Road, Fanxu Road, and Guanlong Road, and these four roads will eventually converge to Jieting.

And from Weishui into Longxi, there is also an important town, that is, Shangtai, and the north of Shangtai is Luoyang.

At the beginning, Liu Xiu fought Kui Huan here, that is, he sent a famous man to occupy Luoyang, and used 2,000 people to resist the attack of tens of thousands of people in Kui Huan for four months, so that Liu Xiu completely defeated Kui Huan.

There are precedents for all of this.

Therefore, if you want to break Long, the bottom line is to hold the street pavilion, and if you can, you must also take Shangqi and Luoyang, then Cao Wei's army is coming to help, and there is no need to worry.

As for the importance of these places, in fact, the five people present all know about it, and they all have corresponding preparations, but the specific situation depends on the actual situation to formulate.

Maybe these places will be occupied by Liu Beijun before Cao Wei has time to react, or it is possible that these places will be more difficult to fight, what is the actual situation, only when the fight starts, can we know the result.

After the five of them finished discussing, they each went back to their homes and waited for Liu Bei to convene a military meeting.

And Zhang Xi had the opportunity to see which way his door was opened, it turned out to be open to Zhuge Liang's house.

Before Zhang Xi led the troops south to quell the rebellion, Zhang Xi's family still lived in Zhuge Liang's house, and it was not until Zhang Xi led the troops to set off that Liu Bei prepared the mansion for Zhang Xi's family.

Zhang Xi went home with excitement, saw Sun Shangxiang with an unhappy face, wondered a little, and then looked at Xiao Ba, who was happy but didn't dare to show it, and Xiao Xuan'er, who was secretly looking at him with his younger brother's probe. Yes, if you don't go home all year round, won't the sequelae come?!

But Zhang Xi is also aggrieved. I'm not fooling around outside, it's a serious job, a business trip arranged by my boss.

Forget it, my mother-in-law, what can I say.

In the past, he hugged Sun Shangxiang, and by the way, he pulled Xiao Ba over on the side, and kissed one of them, which caused the two women to blush, and then turned back to touch Xiao Xuan'er and Xiao Zheng'er's heads.

Xiao Xuan'er was okay, gave Zhang Xi a grimace and giggled.

But Xiao Zheng'er seems to be a little afraid of life, and he doesn't know who the "uncle" in front of him is.

I really don't blame Xiao Zheng'er, Xiao Zheng'er is only five years old this year, and there are three years when I can't see Zhang Xi, so it's strange that I can recognize it.

It's Xiao Xuan'er, Zhang Xi accompanied her for three years when she was in Nanjun, although Xiao Xuan'er was also young at that time, but she was always familiar with Zhang Xi's appearance.

Anyway, the little girl is about to turn ten years old, right?!

Zhang Xi suddenly felt a little melancholy. After a few more years, my daughter will grow up, and I don't know which bastard boy will be cheaper.

And at this time, Sun Shangxiang finally reacted and waited for a long time and didn't see her husband's "Nanzhong sister" appear, which shows that her husband didn't find it for herself.

Sun Shangxiang is very aware of Zhang Xi's style, if he really finds a "sister in Nanzhong", this guy will definitely bring it home, so he won't leave people in Nanzhong.

This is the reason why Sun Shangxiang's face was bad at the beginning. It's not that I don't want Zhang Xi, and I don't want to show my husband's face.

Sun Shangxiang really thinks that when Zhang Xi comes back this time, he will come back with his "sister Nanzhong".

It's always the eldest lady of the Zhang family, the first time you meet, you must give your "sister" a little bit of power and establish your status. By the way, I also expressed my dissatisfaction with Zhang Xi.

Although I hinted that you could find it, if you did, I would definitely be angry.

That's why Sun Shangxiang made an unhappy appearance, and at the same time warned Xiaoba that at this time, we must stand on the same front, and we can't let the "Nanzhong Barbarian Girl" ride on our heads.

But it turned out that there were no sisters.

Well, Sun Shangxiang's mood is not easy to describe now.

Secretly walked to Zhang Xi's side, hugged his husband, and regardless of whether the child was present or not, looking at Zhang Xi's eyes, the water could shine through.

That look was full of meaning that only husband and wife could understand, and Zhang Xi quickly realized what his wife meant.

That's not good, it doesn't seem to be dark yet.

But Sun Shangxiang didn't care, not only didn't he care, but also pulled the expectant Xiaoba up, and the three of them went back to the room together to increase the relationship between the husband and wife.

And then well, Zhang Xi was alone with Xiao Xuan'er and Xiao Zheng'er for dinner.

Hmph, sample, your husband and I are also generals who lead the army, and we can still lose to you two powerless women?!
