Great Wei Nengchen

"Sir, my lord, my lord is leading an army up the river and will soon arrive at Yiling City. Please go and greet me with the two generals Yide and Zilong!"

"Okay, prepare the boat and welcome the lord!"

"promise!"

On the broad waters of the Yangtze River, a huge fleet goes upstream, with thundering drums, continuous horns, and banners covering the sky... The Liu Bei Group's army is gathered, ready to enter the land of Bashu!

Chapter 1498 Liu Bei Enters Sichuan ([-])

"I'm waiting to congratulate the lord--enterprising Yizhou, and become a hegemony soon!"

"Haha, everyone, please sit down, let's drink and discuss business!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Before the army marched westward to Bashu, the Liu Bei Group held another military meeting, which was held in the cabin of a three-story ship, floating on the water of the Yangtze River, which not only ensured safety, but also avoided leaking news.

There were quite a few people attending the meeting, Liu Bei sat in the middle, Kong Ming and Pang Tong set off on both sides, and the rest of the civil servants included Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Ma Liang, Ma Su...; military generals: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Huo Jun , Liu Feng... a total of more than [-] people, it can be said to be a gathering of heroes.

"Thief Cao is like a glutton. It is not enough to occupy the Central Plains. He also wants to annex the states in the south of the Yangtze River. Three years ago, he led 10 people to the south. He was arrogant and arrogant. Fortunately, thanks to the joint efforts of heroes from Jingxiang and Jiangdong, Wulin defeated Cao's army in the first battle. He returned home in defeat!

Unexpectedly, Cao's thief's heart was still alive, and he ordered Xiao Yi to command more than [-] troops to attack the land of Yizhou in the southwest. In just two months, he captured dozens of cities in a row. The Lord of Hanzhong might not be able to support it!

If Hanzhong is lost, Bashu is in danger, so Liu Jiyu sent envoys here, hoping that the emperor's uncle would read the same clan, send troops to help, and fight Cao's bandits together. County land!

This emperor's uncle has always put "benevolence and righteousness" first in his travels. Now that the clan brothers are in trouble, how can they stand by and watch, so they decided to raise an army in person and go to Bashu to rescue Liu Jiyu. Afterwards, they don't need a penny of money or a city. They are praised by people all over the world. It is enough! "

………………

"The lord is benevolent and righteous, no one can match him!"

After the meeting started, Liu Bei first talked about the Wulin War. He wanted to use the great victories in the past to boost morale for everyone and create another myth of defeating the strong with the weak.

He also talked about Liu Zhang's request for help and his willingness to cede the land of the three counties. This is true. Xiao Yi's army is on the offensive, and Zhang Lu's fall is only a matter of time. This puts great pressure on Liu Zhang, so he increased his troop dispatch price tag.

Liu Bei's refusal of money, grain and land is also true, and the reason is even simpler. What he wants is the whole of Bashu, not just three counties, or a sparsely populated barren land!

The reason for telling the story is just to find an excuse for annexing Bashu. The land was given by Liu Zhang on his own initiative, but he refused in every possible way, so he reluctantly accepted it. This word must be spread, and it is best for everyone in the world to know. !

At the same time, an attendant brought a map of Yizhou. The mountains, rivers, cities, and plains were clearly visible at a glance. The situation of each side was marked and drawn in different colors:

Zhang Lu's territory was originally white, but now it is swallowed by the black represented by Xiao Yi, leaving only Nanzheng City and the northern part of Bajun. Liu Zhang's territory is red, and he will soon come into contact with black. Liu Bei's power It is yellow, gradually permeating to the west...

If the Liu Bei Group wants to grow stronger, it must enter the land of Yizhou to obtain the population, supplies, and strategic space. This has already reached a consensus internally, but the tactics of entering Yizhou, Wolong and Fengchu, have different opinions !

Kong Ming suggested to slow down the plan: first send a large army to advance into Berkshire, unite with Liu Zhang's forces, and jointly fight against the Cao army in the north. After the foreign enemies are expelled, slowly encroach on Yizhou!

While spreading favors and accepting the people of Bashu, he penetrated into the Yong'an, Kuiguan, and Badong areas near Jingzhou. When the time is right, he will replace Liu Zhang logically.

Pang Tong thinks it is quick: as soon as the army enters Berkshire, he will immediately invite Liu Zhang and important civil and military officials to come to the alliance under the name of "Allied Forces Against Cao" and win all of them at the banquet. Liu Bei led Yizhou animal husbandry by himself!

If Liu Zhang does not dare to come to the alliance, he should choose elite soldiers and generals, and attack Chengdu day and night, cooperate with Fazheng, Dong He and others, and capture Liu Zhang alive in one fell swoop. , and then go north to a showdown with Xiao Yi!

Two sets of tactics: one slow and one urgent, one good and one evil, each has its own reasons and its own flaws, Liu Bei is in a dilemma, and after many days of thinking, he still can't make a decision, but recently, Liu Bei has become more and more inclined to the latter up.

Because of Xiao Yi's aggressive aggression, in just over two months, he broke through the dangerous defense line of Qinling Mountains, took down Baima Pass and Yangping Pass, defeated the Hanzhong Group, and formed a siege of Nanzheng City .

Although Zhang Lu still has tens of thousands of horses, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long. In a month or two at most, he will either obediently open the city and surrender, or become Xiao Yi's prisoner. The little black face is the best at attacking tough situations. Shouchun, Xiapi , Jincheng, Yecheng, and Xiangyang City are all role models, and even Nanzheng City can't stop him.

Once Xiao Yi wins Hanzhong County, he will definitely send his troops south to invade and occupy Bashu. With its strong military strength and superb commanding skills, Liu Bei Group will have no chance at all. It is also worrying that Cao Jun will go down the river and attack the five counties in the south of Jingzhou!

When life and death are at stake, people don't care about face, so Liu Bei chose to seize Bashu quickly, and the world will scold him a few times, "Doves occupy the nest of magpies, invade the family's foundation, despicable and shameless villains..." It is better than losing the hegemony and losing their heads. Much stronger, right?

Therefore, recently, Liu Bei kept Pang Tong by his side, discussing the advancement of Bashu day and night; but let Kong Ming sit in Yiling City, wipe out local bandits and grassroots bandits, and raise food and grass for the army.

This is a signal: I will bring 'Fengchu' into Bashu to fight against the army commanded by Xiao Yi; Raiders - black, fast, ruthless!

The purpose of this military meeting is to formally finalize the dozens of civil and military ministers sitting here, who will stay in Jingzhou's old nest, who will follow Liu Bei to advance to Bashu, and the specific tactics for fighting for Yizhou!

"The ancients have said: Before you expect victory, you predict defeat first, and before you think about it, you think about retreat. My uncle led the army to advance to Bashu. However, the five counties of Jingzhou are the fundamental places, and there must be no losses!

Therefore, [-] soldiers are left to town the base, and Kongming, Yunchang, Gongyou, Xianhe, Zizhong, Zifang... stay in Jiangling City to keep the foundation as stable as Mount Tai! "

The Liu Bei Group has 15 soldiers and horses. They originally wanted to enter Bashu with two-thirds of the elite to participate in the decisive battle in the southwest, while the rest stayed in the southern part of Jingzhou, harassing Xiangyang and Wancheng by the way, and dispersing the power of the Caoying Group!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi acted preemptively, and sent his disciple Hao Zhao to lead thousands of Xuanjia troops, frequently attacking various parts of Nanjun, and inciting the poor people to make troubles, killing big families, dividing land, robbing business travelers... It's a turmoil!

In the Yiling City battle just now, although Hao Zhao’s troops were severely damaged, they failed to wipe out the roots. It is estimated that this guy will make a comeback in a short time, and his arrogance will become even more arrogant!

Therefore, after discussions among Liu Bei, Kong Ming, and Pang Tong, they gritted their teeth and decided to keep 7 horses to resist the harassment of Cao Jun's rangers.

"Please rest assured, my lord, we will definitely work together to ensure that the five counties of Jingzhou are safe and sound!"

…………

Kong Ming, Guan Yu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang... and others left their seats, stepped forward and bowed their hands in salute, all of them spoke extremely firm, but they all felt a little sad in their hearts.

After all, compared with the left-behinds, the civil and military people who entered Bashu are more likely to make achievements and make great achievements, which is naturally more enviable!

"It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business. In the southern part of Jingzhou, there is no natural danger to rely on, and there are not many troops left. To fight against the Cao bandits in the north, to defend against Sun Quan in the east, and to be careful of the troubles of the Baiyue tribe. This burden is heavy. Jun!

Mr. Kong Ming is resourceful, Wen has the talents of Jiang Shang and Zhang Liang, and Wu has the strategies of Guan Zhong and Le Yi. "

………………

"My lord, don't worry, Liang will do his best until death!"

There is a saying that a snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head. A group of civil and military officials who stay in Jingzhou must have a leader who is fully responsible for military and political affairs. As for who is the right candidate?

I saw Liu Bei stepping forward, holding Kong Ming's hands, exhorting him in every possible way, bowing his fists and saluting, untied the Jingzhou Mu's seal on his waist, touched and touched reluctantly, and then... handed it over to him. Guan Yu on the side!

Liu Bei wandered for most of his life and suffered countless hardships. Finally, he got the territory in the south of Jingzhou. It is as precious as his lifeblood. Now when the army is going out, it is natural to hand it over to the most trusted person to guard it!

It is true that Zhuge Kongming is resourceful and resourceful, but the time he has followed is short after all, only five years. Although Liu Bei does not doubt his loyalty, he dare not entrust his foundation.

But Guan Yu has been with him for more than [-] years, and he and Liu Bei are also Jinlan brothers. Their friendship has never wavered after countless disasters, so it is naturally more trustworthy!

"My lord... Take care!"

"Brother, take care, younger brother will live up to his trust!"

Kong Ming was expressionless, but saddened in his heart, he turned and retreated to the side, while Guan Yu took the big seal, bowed down and bowed to see off his eldest brother... No matter what time it is, a brother is a brother, a counselor is a counselor, the two are not the same!

"Zilong listened to the order: Lead 1 horses as the vanguard, open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, enter the Bajun area first, and test the reality of Bashu!"

"promise!"
