In the matter of holding back laughter, Liu Chan has always been professional...... Unless you really can't hold it back.

The last time he went to Shangyong with Lao Liu, he found that this place was mountainous and watery.

It's just that my mind was on Liu Feng and Jingzhou last time, and I didn't carefully look at the complete topographic map of this place.

Now take a closer look...... How many mountains and rivers are this.

There is nothing else in the three eastern counties except mountains, valleys, water and their tributaries.

Cultivated land can only use gentle slopes and large mountain valleys, which are fragmented and extremely inefficient.

Liu Feng felt that the Shen family brothers had less plans, but they had really wronged them, if it weren't for the fact that the water could pan for gold, the Shen family might not be able to develop in this broken place for another hundred years.

The land of the three counties is not only difficult to communicate with the outside world, but even the three counties inside it are also separated by layers, and if it is not for the water to communicate with them, it will become three independent small communities.

In the pre-Qin period, Fangling was even used to exile prisoners, which shows its sinisterness.

Not far to the southeast, is Shennongjia...... Fortunately, the temperature has not fully warmed up yet, and if everything recovers, just poisonous snakes and poisonous insects and other things will be enough for Cao Jun to drink a pot.

Even without these now, Cao Jun still has to face one of the biggest weakenings.

Your horse is gone!

In this kind of terrain, the Dian horses, which were originally born in the mountains, can still walk in the mountains and are not very precipitous, but the northern horses like Cao Jun, who were born in the prairies and plains, are completely abandoned.

The Cao army's greatest cavalry advantage is gone in the land of the three counties!

Cao Jun's horses are gone, how can Liu Chan hold back and not laugh?

Look at who are the people under your command?

Yizhou bandits, Jiangdong Shanyue and Danyang mountain people...... These guys are ruthless, and their ability to climb mountains and mountains and climb trees is not much worse than that of monkeys.

Even the newly joined Bashu people were far more familiar with the mountains than Cao Wei's soldiers.

"Just thinking of something happy." Liu Chan put away his smile, "General Wenchang, Hanzhong is the gateway to Yizhou, and it must not be lost." In order to prevent Cao Weisheng from attacking the west, the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong should not be moved lightly. ”

Although the possibility of Boss Cao attacking Liu with all his strength this time is very small, as long as it is not zero, Liu Chan does not dare to bet.

Boss Cao can afford to lose, lose Wancheng, lose Chibi, lose Hanzhong, and lose the Seventh Army...... Even if he was slow to continue to expand, he was still able to make a comeback quickly.

This is the advantage of a large land and a large number of people, and when you fight a war, you are basically fighting a resource and a population.

You can win many times on your side, but if you lose once, you may completely destroy the future.

Wei Yan hurriedly said: "However, the three eastern counties must not lose ......."

"The lonely relatives led the Red Star Army to save the three counties." Liu Chan interrupted Wei Yan with a word, causing him to fall silent for a while.

"......" Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, but immediately persuaded, "The Shen family is only with Meng Da, why do you go to Prince Lao in person?" He also asked the prince to guard Hanzhong, and when the rebellion was quelled, the three of them would be bound in front of the prince. ”

Liu Chan shook his head and said: "It's not proper, the defense of Hanzhong was built by General Wenchang, and I don't know the details when I first come here, if the military plane is delayed, everything will be over." ”

"This ......" Wei Yan had to admit that what Liu Chan said was right.

"The general doesn't have to worry, although the Shen family is powerful in the three counties, the powerful private soldiers in the small land, even if the armor soldiers are fully prepared, how can they be the opponents of the Lone Red Star Army?" Liu Chan smiled and comforted, "If Cao Jun doesn't come, it's okay, if he comes?" Hmph, he must have come and gone. ”

It's not that Liu Chan underestimates the enemy, he will be the bone of the soldier, and Jun is the soul of the general.

As the crown prince, if he grows the morale of others and destroys his own prestige, he will lose a lot of momentum before the battle.

Wei Yan also heard of Liu Chan's achievements in Jingzhou, Wei Yan only came to prominence after the Hanzhong War, but he still knew Guan Yu very well after following Liu Bei for many years.

That is not a person who would exaggerate Liu Chan's merits to curry favor with the monarch.

Seeing that Liu Chan was so sure, Wei Yan nodded and said, "That's good...... It's just the prince, if he can't do it, he must send someone to inform Yu Yan, and Yan will be the elite to help the prince! ”

Liu Chan smiled: "Okay, general, just rest assured." ”

Although Ma Chao's official position is higher than Wei Yan's, he is very clear in his heart about the difference between himself and Wei Yan in Liu Bei's heart.

In the past, he never said much about such major matters involving strategy, but this time it was rare for him to speak.

"The minister is willing to go with the prince and help the prince."

Wei Yan looked at Ma Chao in surprise.

This person is even more arrogant than himself, and he rarely speaks on weekdays, what is wrong with him today?

Ma Chao, who has reached the age of not being confused, has rekindled the fire in his heart after the ups and downs, and he wants to see with his own eyes whether this young man who started the crime is a person worthy of trust.

If so, he Ma Chao also wants to change his way of life in the future, "stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers", for this purpose, what if he is ambitious and proud, and accompany him to go through the fire again?

If not...... He now has nothing, a rotten life, and nothing to lose.

Today's youngest son Ma Cheng has his younger brother Ma Dai to take care of him, and it is not enough for the Ma family to be left behind.

Wei Yan frowned and said, "General Ma still needs to guard Yangping......"

"I don't lead the generals, I go with the prince alone. Yangping Xiongguan, with his own troops from his younger brother Ma Dai to garrison, even if Cao Jun sent tens of thousands of elite soldiers to tackle the key points, what can I do? ”

Liu Chan and Ma Chao looked at each other for a moment, and then the corners of their mouths raised slightly: "Okay, with the help of the general today, it is like adding 10,000 troops." The general went with Lone to quell the rebellion and break the enemy! ”

If you want to see it, just follow it and see the real thing.

When Ma Chao heard this, there seemed to be a flash of light in his always indifferent eyes, and he slowly clenched his fists: "Minister, take the order!" ”

【Super Opinion +3】(43)

The plan was decided, and Wei Yan immediately sent someone to transport the boat over.

Inside Hanzhong, the transportation of materials in the east and west also relied on water transportation, and the ships were ready-made.

Although it is also feasible to carry large boats, the two tributaries of "blocking water" and "building water" that lead directly to Shangyong and Fangling are tortuous and narrow, and they are not as convenient as small boats.

"The minister will go back and prepare, and then he will come." Ma Chao clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and left.

He rushed to Yangping Pass on horseback and hurried straight to the pass.

"Brother, what's the hurry?" Seeing this, Ma Dai couldn't help but wonder.

Ma Chao was still striding at his feet, and he didn't reply: "The three counties are in rebellion, and I want to quell the rebellion with the prince." ”

"The prince has such a fate?"

"It's not the prince's order, this matter is my request for self-recommendation."

"Huh?!"

Ma Dai exclaimed, what surprised him was not the rebellion in the three counties, but the attitude of his brother Ma Chao.

He could see that Ma Chao really wanted to go.

Is the sun coming out of the west? When he followed the king of Hanzhong to fight Hanzhong, his brother was not so active.

He persuaded Ma Chao to bring some personal guards to go, but he was also refused.

At this time, the two of them had already walked to the place where Ma Chao stored his armor, Yangping Xiongguan Tianwei has been calm since the Hanzhong War, except for daily maintenance, these things have not been used for a long time.

Ma Chao put on armor, raised his hand to pick up the riding spear that he had fought with him for many years, and then said to Ma Dai: "Take my throwing gun." ”

Then he walked away without stopping.

Ma Dai hurriedly opened a large box, and the neatly stacked inside were Ma Chao's usual armor-piercing guns.

It's called armor piercing, but in fact, these throwing spear heads are made of fine iron, and the elongated triangular pyramid design allows them to break the shield when they are thrown with human horsepower.

He hurriedly picked up three throwing guns and went to chase Ma Chao.

When he arrived, Ma Chao was already on his horse, and his gun was hanging on the side of the horse.

Helping the elder brother hang the throwing gun on the other side of the horse on the three sets of special hooks, Ma Dai took two steps back and hugged his fists and said, "Brother is going alone, please be more careful." ”

Ma Chao didn't seem to hear it, squinting his eyes and staring at the east, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, the famous horse "Li Feisha", who has accompanied him for many years under his crotch, seems to have felt the change in his master's mood, and changed the lazy appearance of hanging his head on weekdays, pacing with his head held high, and snorting from time to time.

"Guard Yangping Pass."

"Brother, don't worry." Ma Dai bowed and said solemnly.

Leaving only this sentence, Ma Chao's legs clamped the horse's belly.

"Drive!"

"Boom~!" Li Feisha, who was already restless, hissed with a long hoof, and then ran wildly, splashing a puff of smoke and dust.

Looking at Ma Chao, who rode away and seemed to be different from the past, Ma Dai, who was standing in place, didn't know what was going on, but he felt that his nose was a little sour......
