Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 453
Inside Mianzhu Pass, the situation of Liu Bei's army and Dongzhou Corps was not much better than that of Cao Cao.

Their strings are tightly tied, knowing that Mianzhuguan is very important to them, it is the last barrier of Chengdu Plain, and there is absolutely no room for any negligence.

Liu Bei is even more cautious than usual, because he has already regarded Yizhou as his territory in his heart.

As long as Cao Cao is defeated, it is not difficult for him to take Yizhou from Liu Zhang by relying on his achievements in keeping Yizhou and the reputation and prestige he has accumulated in the past.

But the premise of all this is that he can defeat Cao Cao.

"Cao's army has a strong combat effectiveness and a stubborn will that cannot be compared to other armies."

Liu Bei let out a long sigh. These days, the soldiers and horses have suffered a lot, and he can't help but feel very distressed.

His current territory is not large, and his population is not large. Every soldier is quite precious to him.

"My lord, don't worry. I believe Cao Cao is more worried about the stalemate than we are. They have come from afar, and the supply of food and grass is inconvenient. Besides, Sili is not a rich place. As time goes by, the people will definitely complain. They may not be able to hold on for long."

Seeing Liu Xie's serious expression, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but persuade slightly.

He is good at internal affairs, but not good at strategy.

Normally, he could strategize, but now he was facing a calculating opponent like Cao Cao and Cheng Yu. He couldn't make any creative suggestions and could only comfort Liu Bei from the perspective of internal affairs.

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately looked at Zhang Juzheng with a smiling face, expressing his kindness and attention, but the worry in the depths of his eyes did not decrease by half.

Zhang Juzheng is right, it is impossible for Cao Cao to fight a protracted war with them,

But in this way, Cao Jun will definitely actively seek changes and take the initiative to pose a greater threat to them.

Not only has their situation not slowed down, but it has become more serious!
"What Mr. Zhang said is true. Mr. Liu doesn't have to worry too much. It makes me feel ashamed. If my predictions are correct, Cao Cao already has a way to change."

Wang Xuance paused for a moment, and continued: "The two armies are fighting, and the strength of the two sides is almost the same, so we can only make a fuss about morale. Even if Cao's army is ever-changing, it is nothing more than setting up a battle outside the pass and dividing it with our generals." The high ground is just for morale."

Fighting generals can greatly affect the morale of the soldiers on both sides without causing too many casualties. Many times the generals will open up the situation through fighting the future.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the words, he brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei this time, these are fierce generals who can be defeated by thousands of people, if Cao Cao really wants to fight him, he is very sure that he can win.

But then his heart felt dark, and he suddenly thought of Pei Yuanqing, a fierce future.

Pei Yuanqing is still detained by Liu Xie in the city of Xiapi in Xuzhou, and even his sister Pei Cuiyun has settled down in Xiapi.

Moreover, the treatment of the two is very good. Not only is there no freedom restriction, but Xuzhou will often subsidize and help.

The more this happened, the more upset Liu Bei became.

He knew that Pei Yuanqing was still young and had no so-called loyalty to the emperor, and he only cared about his sister.

If the current trend continues, Pei Yuanqing is very likely to be abducted by Liu Xie.

Such a young and top-notch fighter, even though Liu Bei has traveled all over the world and has seen a lot, he is still the first to see him. He couldn't help but feel sad, but now he has more important things to do.

Wang Xuance did not notice Liu Bei's complicated inner thoughts, and continued: "There are definitely not a few fierce generals in Cao's camp. Yang Xuangan, Wang Yanzhang, Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun, etc. are all strong generals in the world. The two generals Guan and Zhang are brave, but In a wheel battle, it may not be foolproof."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also here, and they were immediately unconvinced when they heard Wang Xuance's words. Second Master Guan's face was heavy and glaring, and Third Master Zhang's black face was rough and his eyes widened.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly interrupted: "The general's worries are not unreasonable. The two brothers of mine are hard to come by in a one-on-one fight. It would be dangerous if they were to be besieged in turn. It's a pity that I still have two strong generals under my command, and one of them was killed by King Wu." Due to the limitations, it is difficult for one member to be stationed in Jingzhou, otherwise Cao Cao will suffer a lot."

The two fierce generals he mentioned, the former is Pei Yuanqing, the silver hammer, and the latter is Pan Feng, the mad axe.

Although Liu Bei is getting farther and farther away from conquering Yuan Shao and avenging Jizhou, Pan Feng still does not change his original intention, and has been following Liu Bei loyally, which moved Liu Bei very much.

After experiencing the rebellion of Hou Junji and Qin Hui, Liu Bei also placed special trust and respect in him.

It was only then that Wang Xuance realized that he had neglected the feelings of Guan and Zhang because he was too worried about the situation of the war. But now was not the time to pursue it. He bowed slightly and continued: "General Cao has many fierce men, but we seem to be dwarfed by others. If If Cao Cao really wants to fight us, then we might as well make an appointment to fight three times with him, and each side will send three generals to decide the winner."

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and his face brightened.

In his heart, he secretly praised that Wang Xuance was really resourceful, and he simply contained the many advantages of Cao Ying's generals.

He is extremely confident in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. In a three-on-three fight, Liu Bei is confident that they can win two games, which makes Cao Cao's calculations lose morale.

"General Wang, forgive Guan for speaking bluntly. Cao Cao is extremely treacherous, and old thief Cheng Yu is not a fool. They have no reason to give up their great advantage and only fight us for three matches. When the time comes, we With no generals to send, such a situation may affect morale more than losing a battle."

Guan Yu got up with great emotion and said mightily.

It was not because of the previous incident that he deliberately opposed Wang Xuance, but because he was familiar with "Spring and Autumn" and realized the shortcomings of this strategy.

Hearing this, Wang Xuance, instead of being angry or embarrassed, showed admiration to Guan Yu, thinking that he is a real general.

"General Guan, this will test our timing."

Wang Xuance smiled slightly, and said quite meaningfully.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were a little confused when they heard the words, but Liu Bei suddenly realized what he had heard. He got up suddenly and asked, "The general wants us to hold back and let Cao Cao raise the matter of fighting generals first?"

Zhang Juzheng also reacted, and then said: "If Cao Cao is asked to raise the matter of fighting generals first, it is only natural for us to make up for the method of restricting competition. Before the two armies, even if Cao Cao reacted to something, he could only grit his teeth I have swallowed this bitter fruit. Otherwise, if he disagrees, he will be defeated before the battle, which will affect the morale of Cao Jun."

Wang Xuance was noncommittal, but nodded with a faint smile.

This is an extremely important opportunity for them.

Let Cao Cao suffer a dumb loss first, which will gradually change their tendency of passive defense and put great psychological pressure on Cao Cao.

The bloody wind at Mianzhuguan subsided slowly, but in the cold air, there was still a faint smell of blood, which was constantly fermenting!
