Yangzhou Zhangfu, Zhang Liao was still waiting for Cao Cao to reinforce Yangzhou's troops, but he didn't expect to receive a letter from Lin Chuan first.

After reading the plan to subdue Shanyue provided in Lin Chuan's letter, Zhang Liao couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Then Zhang Liao came to the Yangzhou camp and called his lieutenants Cao Xing, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Gao Shun and Song Lian to the Yangzhou camp.

In the Yangzhou camp, Zhang Liao saw that the generals had arrived, and he was ready to tell them about Lin Chuan's plan to subdue Shanyue.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Marquis of Hanzhong has provided Ben with a good plan to completely solve the Shanyue problem, and this time Ben will summon you to Yangzhou Daying to discuss how to start implementing this plan."

Hou Cheng and other lieutenant generals suddenly brightened up when they heard this, after the Shanyue grain harvest failed and the Shanyue County looted the Danyang branch transport convoy, they had been worried that the Shanyue people might rebel at any time.

"Please make it clear to the general that I will wait!"

Hou Cheng said to Zhang Liao, and the other generals also echoed him.

"Think about it, what is the reliance of the Shanyue people?"

In order to exercise the ability of the generals, Zhang Liao first sold a pass.

Hou Cheng was the first to reply to Zhang Liao when he heard this: "The greatest reliance of the Shanyue people is nothing more than their camp can grow food, forge armor, and live a completely self-sufficient lifestyle.

In addition, they are more familiar with the mountains of Yangzhou counties than us, and the deep mountains and old forests are equivalent to the back gardens of Shanyue people. ”

Hou Cheng, who had already dealt with the affairs of the Hanzhong branch of the Shanyue Raid twice, made it clear the reliance of the Shanyue people, and the other generals also nodded in agreement.

"Hou Cheng's reliance on the Shanyue people is the main reason why they don't take the imperial court and us in their eyes now, but the plan provided by the Hou of Hanzhong this time is aimed at the lifeblood of the Shanyue people!"

Zhang Liao nodded in agreement when he heard what Hou Cheng said, and then he told Hou Cheng and other generals about Lin Chuan's plan.

"The Shanyue people, like our people in the Great Wei, rely on growing food to make a living, although there are all kinds of animals in the mountains, but they can't completely solve the food problem of the Shanyue people.

The plan given by the Marquis of Hanzhong to completely subdue the Shanyue people was first to make the Shanyue people have no food to eat!

It just so happened that their autumn harvest was affected by the weather changes in Yangzhou, and they did not harvest much grain. ”

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, Hou Cheng and the other generals were surprised.

Now it is precisely because the Shanyue people do not have enough food to eat that they come out to loot the transport convoy of the Hanzhong Branch, and it is even possible that the lack of food and grass will cause a rebellion.

How did it get to the plan of the Marquis of Hanzhong, and this became a good thing?

"General, there is something unknown at the end!"

The deputy general Cao Xuan couldn't help but ask Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao signaled Cao Xuan to raise any questions when he heard this.

"This Shanyue people may rebel because of the lack of food and grass, even if we lead the troops to attack the camp of the Shanyue people, but the Shanyue people hide in the mountains with the remaining grain and grass, and plunder my Yangzhou county everywhere, how can this be solved?"

What Cao Xing said was exactly what they were going to face now.

The Shanyue people are too familiar with the mountains, even if the number of garrisons in Yangzhou is about to reach half of the total population of Shanyue, with as many as 60,000 people, but the Shanyue people will not fight a decisive battle with Yangzhou's army, and the numerical advantage is scattered among the mountains that Yangzhou soldiers are not very familiar with, and the advantage is no longer obvious.

Adjutant General Gao Shun also said at this time: "General, do you want to lure the Shanyue people out of the mountains and annihilate them in one fell swoop?" ”

Gao Shun's question did not wait for Zhang Liao to answer, and the deputy general Song Lian answered Gao Shun's question: "The problem is that we can only annihilate a few Shanyue camps by this method, and the Shanyue people who hear the wind will definitely hide back in the mountains again, and the 60,000 troops of the Yangzhou battalion cannot prepare for war every day and wait for the Shanyue people to come down the mountain!" ”

After Gao Shun heard Song Lian's analysis, he immediately knew that the situation was indeed as Song Lian said, the power to take the initiative was in the hands of the Shanyue people, and the Yangzhou battalion could be said to be exhausted if it passively faced the battle.

After listening to the opinions of the lieutenant generals under his command, Zhang Liao began to answer their questions.

"The people of Shanyue are indeed familiar with the dangers of the high mountains, which are quite troublesome for us and others, but the main places where food can be grown are those large valleys and mountain basins.

We don't need to fight the Shanyue people at all, and we can send heavy troops to guard the places where the Shanyue people can grow food, so that they can't grow food.

Or we can wait for them to finish planting the grain and harvest it first!

In this way, the Shanyue people can only watch their food fall into the pockets of my Yangzhou camp, and they do not have the strength to risk a decisive battle with us! ”

Zhang Liao explained to Hou Cheng, Cao Xing, Gao Shun, Song Lian, and Wei Xu.

The generals are now beginning to understand what Zhang Liao said before that the Shanyue people are short of food and grass, which is what they mean when the time is on their side.

"Next, we are sending troops to guard and build fortifications on the main roads leading to the mountains in various counties and counties, and block these Shanyue people who take the mountains as their homes at home to prevent them from having the opportunity to go down the mountain and loot Yangzhou counties!

In this way, the more people there are in the mountains, the shorter the time they can hold out in the mountains!

In the end, if they don't want to starve to death in the mountains, they have to surrender to us.

The general expected that the Shanyue people did not have the courage to fight to the death with our Great Wei, and Goguryeo, with its strong cities, did not survive ten days to resist the attack of our Great Wei!

This news is also very clear to the people of Shanyue! ”

Zhang Liao said this, and the generals had fully understood Lin Chuan's plan to completely subdue the Shanyue people.

"The return of these hundreds of thousands of young people in Shanyue to my Yangzhou is not only a great achievement for you and you, but also for the development of Yangzhou!

As long as we carry out the plan of the Marquis of Hanzhong properly, this great credit will be at our fingertips!

I would have known that you did not participate in the attack on Goguryeo, and I had regrets in my heart, but the people of Shanyue gave me a chance to make meritorious service this time! ”

Then Zhang Liao put Lin Chuan's entire plan out of the whole, and all the generals had become excited and excited when they heard this, and they were eager to start sending troops to the main roads leading to the mountains in Yangzhou counties and counties, and building fortifications.

"Lord Hanzhong's plan is really incomprehensible to the Shanyue people, hahaha!"

Hou Cheng smiled happily at the generals at this time, and finally didn't need him to go out to clean up the Shanyue people and cause a mess.

"Lord Hou of Hanzhong is not only proficient in business and invention, but he didn't expect to have such a high view of the battlefield, and the last general is really impressed!"

After Cao Xing listened to the whole plan, he immediately threw himself into the five bodies that Lin Chuan admired.

Wei Xu also said with emotion at this time: "Lord Hanzhong Hou not only has this good plan, but also personally sent a great merit to our hands, and after completely subduing Shanyue, the last general wants to go to Hanzhong to personally visit Lord Hanzhong Hou." ”

Zhang Liao was also smiling when he heard this, and the Shanyue problem that had plagued him for a long time was completely solved by a letter from Lin Chuan.

So Zhang Liao went to Xinyecheng again, hoping that Cao Cao would send troops to Yangzhou as soon as possible.

Now as long as Yecheng sends troops to support Yangzhou, Yangzhou will have enough troops to begin to besiege Shanyue, so that they can experience what it means to be unable to escape, close the door and fight the dog!
