In fact, Liu Chan underestimated Ma Chao, who had been a prince of one side, in some ways.

He can eat well in Qianghu and the Han people in the northwest, and he has been intriguing with others for half his life, even if he is the one who loses in the end, how can he not even know how to get closer to others.

It's just disdainful.

Now Ma Chao's heart is solved, all he wants is to follow Liu Chan to do another big career, and he wants to get close to Wei Yan, who seems to be arrogant, but in fact only knows how to do things for the Liu family, it is not too easy.

And Wei Yan is not a madman, he is still very willing to get close to people who have real skills and are loyal to the Liu family...... For example, Zhuge Liang.

He had a general relationship with Ma Chao before, but he felt that this person had not surrendered to the Liu family at all from the bottom of his bones, and his face was gloomy every day, and there seemed to be only him Ma Chao himself in his eyes.

But since he went to Shangyong with the crown prince, he has seen amazing changes from Ma Chao.

Not only is there less and less resentment, but the most rare thing is that the other party has gradually shown far more enthusiasm for Hanzhong's defense than before.

He was measured but handled very well, and did not dictate to Wei Yanyi because he was in a high position, but released unprecedented kindness several times.

The two were indifferent and ignored from the beginning, and the well water did not interfere with the river water, and gradually became smooth to cooperate, and they could also maintain the harmony on the scene.

Friends, or even hearts, are not enough to talk about, but for colleagues on official business, it is enough.

Of course, Liu Chan is happy to see this kind of change, and it is also a rare good thing for Wei Yan to take this opportunity to change his character flaws.

"Your Majesty, the Prince, this is a long journey, and let the army camp, let's go into the city." Wei Yan said.

Lao Liu and Liu Chan entered the city first, and arrived one after another in the army divisions and stationed.

Later, Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others also arrived one after another, plus Wei Yan, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others in Hanzhong, which can be called the all-star version of the Northern Expedition lineup, gathering in the county seat of Chuyang.

After a short break and listening to Wei Yan's report on the recent development and defense work of Hanzhong, Lao Liu presided over the first military meeting before the official Northern Expedition.

Liu Chan first briefly explained to the generals of Hanzhong his plan to go west to Qishan and the strategic concept he wanted to achieve.

“…… In this way, if our army succeeds in seizing Longyou and splitting Cao Wei from east to west, it will be a matter of time before Liangzhou is recovered. ”

After Liu Chan finished speaking, Ma Chao was the most excited.

Capture the western part of Yongzhou and Liangzhou? He's clear!

"Your Majesty, the crown prince, the minister is willing to be the vanguard and recover the northwest for my Han!" Ma Chao directly got up and hugged his fists.

Lao Liu smiled: "Hehe, Meng Qi doesn't have to be anxious, if you want to use troops against the northwest, how can I forget you." You will go west out of Qishan with me, and the responsibility of guarding Yangping Pass will be handed over to Brother Ling. ”

Ma Dai also got up and said: "Yes, the duty of the last general will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

However, on the issue of the Northern Expedition route, Wei Yan seems to have a different view.

He looked a little anxious and said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince, now that Cao Pi's army is in the east, his country must be empty. Since my army has poured out, why not directly occupy Guanzhong?

"If we can get Guanzhong, General Guan can occupy Wancheng, and then Luoyang will have formed a two-bread sandwich situation, and the Central Plains can be determined!"

Wei Yan was not only anxious, but also a little puzzled, this matter is not difficult, why can't Prime Minister Zhuge and so many smart people think of it?

What kind of Yongliang, hit Guanzhong!

After he finished speaking, it did not cause the expected huge repercussions, and the applause and praise he deserved.

Lao Liu and everyone laughed instead, and looked at Liu Chan one after another.

"Hahaha, what my son said, it's true." Lao Liu smiled, quite pleased.

Being able to guess the other party's mind shows that he is very accurate in seeing people, and it is also one of the necessary skills of the emperor, of course he is happy.

Zhuge Liang also smiled and said, "The prince and Wen Chang don't have much contact, but it is rare to be able to guess what the Chinese chief thinks." ”

Fa Zheng: "The prince is so capable, and the minister is not as good as him." ”

Zhang Fei said happily: "I know that what the prince said can't be wrong. ”

Zhao Yun: "That's not what you said before......

……

Liu Chan smiled and was silent at first, but seeing that Wei Yan was still full of doubts, he said: "Gu Ruo's guess is right, General Wenchang's mouth is 'occupy Guanzhong', but you want to divide your troops and go to the Meridian Valley and attack Chang'an?" ”

Wei Yan was startled and didn't say anything for a long time.

Wei Yan's Opinion +5 (58)

Only then did he understand what everyone was laughing at, it seemed that the prince had already guessed his thoughts before he arrived in Hanzhong...... This is also too godly!

Wei Yan was not only greatly admired, but also a little more in awe.

He clenched his fists and said: "The prince is like a god, and Yan does have this intention." Chen has been in Hanzhong for a long time and knows the situation in Guanzhong. Zhang Hetun's soldiers Chen Cang, guarding the scattered pass, whether the soldiers go out of the Kei Valley, or out of the slope to attack Yi County, it is not a good strategy.

"But if you go to the Meridian Valley, you will only be a stone's throw away from Chang'an in a hurry, and you will definitely be able to take Cao Wei by surprise!"

Although the prince guessed his mind, Wei Yan did not give up the original plan, but felt that the prince wanted to go with him.

He didn't know that it was Liu Chan who denied Stud Guanzhong and advocated winning Yongliang's ...... first

"The refusal of the minister knows that the Chang'an guard, Cao Wei's Anxi general Xiahou Nan, is not only cowardly and unscrupulous, but also prefers to buy family property to make a living...... Such a mediocre person, if he sees our army besieging the city, he will definitely abandon the city and leave.

"At that time, Chang'an can go down every day, and then wave the army to the east and attack Tongguan by surprise! Tongguan is in hand, you can threaten Luoyang if you enter, and you can hold Guanzhong if you retreat......"

"Wait!"

Wei Yan, who was talking excitedly, was suddenly interrupted by Liu Chan, and he was a little stunned for a while.

"There is one thing, please ask General Wenchang." Liu Chan stared at Wei Yan's eyes, "What if Xiahou Nan doesn't leave?" ”

Wei Yan's excitement gradually cooled down, he knew what the prince meant, but he still said: "This person is just a mediocre horseman, as soon as my Han Heavenly Soldier arrives, how can he not run?" ”

Liu Chan shook his head, it seemed that Wei Yan still had some way to go before he could overcome his character flaws.

Yu Ban hated the surrender of generals the most in his life, and even personally beheaded his colleagues who surrendered back then, and was deeply valued by Cao Cao...... Did General Wen Chang ever think that he not only surrendered, but is now also teaching in Taixue in my Han Dynasty? ”

Wei Yan finally paused: "This ......"

Liu Chan continued to persuade: "General Wenchang will put the key to victory in the thoughts of the enemy generals, if that Xiahou Nan is awakened in battle, he will not be able to defend it......

"At that time, our army had Luoyang reinforcements in the east and Zhang He's soldiers and horses in the west, and they were trapped under Chang'an City, and the grain route was cut off...... How to deal with the dragon trapped in the shallows in the land of Guanzhong? ”

Wei Yan: "......"

Now that the prince said this, he realized that his thoughts did seem to be taken for granted.

"Yan has been taught." Wei Yan sighed and said, "This matter is not considered by the minister, and since this is the case, he will not go to the Meridian Valley." ”

At this time, Liu Chan suddenly shook his head again and smiled: "No, Meridian Valley, you still have to go." ”

Wei Yan looked at Liu Chan blankly, feeling that his brain was a little insufficient......

Why don't you play cards according to the routine?
