Great Wei Nengchen

"I'm not talented, so I can plan something for Da Sima to calm down the Southwest affairs!"

"In other words, if you are right, you will live, if you are wrong, you will die!"

Chapter 1514 Dilemma!

Bashu Basin - Thousands of miles in area, with a population of more than one million, developed agriculture, abundant materials, Zigong produces salt, Linqiong produces iron, Luzhou produces wine... It takes full advantage of the mountains, forests, and fishing, and its wealth is several times that of Hanzhong. And the difficulty of attacking has also increased several times!

There is Wushan Mountain in the east, Daliang Mountain and Dalou Mountain in the south, Hengduan Mountains in the west, Micang Mountain and Daba Mountain in the north. The Fujiang, Fujiang and Jialing rivers criss-cross and the water network is densely covered.

In such a complex terrain, it is difficult for a large army to deploy, and it is even more difficult to siege cities and land. The enemy to face this time is not the weak and incompetent Liu Zhang, but Liu Bei, the hero of the world!

There are also Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun who have won Pang Tong's strategy and bravely won the three armies, Wei Yan and Huo Jun who cannot be underestimated... Kong Ming and Guan Yu who stayed in Jingzhou, I am afraid they will not be lonely, they will attack Xiangyang City?

Although Xiao Yi captured Hanzhong, after several months of marching and fighting, the soldiers under his command were exhausted, and a lot of weapons, food and grass were consumed. What are the odds?

Hanzhong and Bashu have been at odds for many years, and Li Ru has been advising Zhang Lu. Although he stays at home, he is very familiar with the geographical environment, customs and customs of Bashu. With him as his assistant, it will be much easier for Cao Jun to enter Bashu.

"For the matter of conquering Bashu, the old man has some experience. I don't know if Da Sima wants to hear lies or the truth?"

"Hehe, what about lies, what about the truth?"

Ordinary people come up with strategies such as top, middle, and bottom for the superiors to choose, but Li Ru is so ingenious that he puts forward two theories, true and false!

Xiao Yi also became interested, and acted like he was listening attentively, wanting to see how deep this 'spiritual plan' was, and whether it was better to kill him or stay?

"The lie is: the army has been fighting for several months and has been exhausted. It urgently needs to be repaired. In addition, the rainy season is coming and the roads are muddy. If Da Sima attacks Bashu at this time, I am afraid that the result will be twice the result with half the effort. This is the disadvantage!

Liu Bei is a man of benevolence on the outside and insidious on the inside. If he enters Sichuan, he will turn his back on the hostess, so there will be chaos in Bashu. Zhang Ren, Liu Ba, Huang Quan and other poor generals will never submit to Liu Bei, so they can only submit to Cao Ying , which is the plus side!

There are advantages and disadvantages in the situation, but with the brilliance of Da Sima, the bravery of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the great assistance of Zhang Tianshi, there is still a [-]% chance of winning in the capture of Bashu!

Connecting the two basins of Guanzhong and Bashu are the three plank roads of Jinniu, Micang and Yangba. As long as Da Sima is one step ahead and sends troops to occupy these three plank roads, he can be invincible when he advances and retreats. .

Then send troops to capture the whole of Berkshire, cut off the transportation of the Yangtze River waterway, let Liu Bei become the turtle in the urn, and then rely on the superiority of troops, step by step, slowly advance, and we will definitely be able to take Chengdu..."

Li Ru really had some skills, he clearly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of Cao and Liu, and he also proposed an attack plan, and the formation of troops was quite brilliant.

Xiao Yi listened quietly, the murderous look in his eyes remained undiminished, Li Ru's analysis was good, but it was all in his own plan!

Before the army besieged Nanzheng, Xiao Yi sent people to Xiameng and Jiange, and made contact with Zhang Ren and other generals in Sichuan. It fell into his own hands.

And just now, during the banquet, Xiao Yi asked Huang Zhong and his son to lead [-] soldiers, under the guidance of surrendered generals Zhang Wei and Zhang Yu, to take over the Yangba plank road and the city in the north of Berkshire. These were originally Hanzhong Group It is not a problem to recover the controlled area smoothly!

In other words, Xiao Yi has already carried out what Li Ru said in secret. If he only has this level of strategy, it won't be of much use to keep it, unless there is something unexpected...

"The lies are well-spoken, so what if you don't know the truth?"

"Is this true? I'm afraid Da Sima will be furious when he hears this, and will chop off the old man's head!"

"But it doesn't matter, if you don't say it, I'll kill you anyway!"

…………

"The truth is, Da Sima has no intention of attacking Bashu at all, but he is just putting on airs due to the situation--haha!"

After Li Ru finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Yi, and countless fire lights collided with the other's ghostly gaze in mid-air. During the entire time of a cup of tea, neither of them blinked!

After confronting each other for a while, Xiao Yi's hand holding the sword slowly loosened, and the murderous look in his eyes dissipated. He didn't draw his sword to kill Li Ru, which meant that Li Ru was right, and he didn't want to attack Bashu!

He mobilized tens of thousands of people, consumed countless money and food, and spent a lot of effort to win Hanzhong as a stepping stone, but Xiao Yi did not want to capture Bashu. Could it be that he has gone crazy?

How can the wearer of the protagonist's halo go crazy for no reason? The reason why he doesn't want to attack Bashu is not because he doesn't want to, but because he has concerns and dare not act rashly!

The reason is simple: since ancient times, when the emperor was dying, in order for the crown prince to ascend to the position smoothly, he would promote some people and kill some people, even kill the left and right assistants, and kill the loved ones!

For example, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, had a big change in his temperament in his later years. He killed Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu in a row. The hero is domineering, and his son Liu Ying can't be frightened.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was dying, he was worried that his son and mother would be strong, and the world would be in chaos, so he used the loss of a hairpin as an excuse to kill his beloved Mrs. Gouyi and eliminate hidden dangers for his youngest son Fuling!

Similarly, Cao Cao's time is running out, in order for Cao Pi to take over smoothly, some people must be killed, and Xiao Yi must be at the top of the list of those killed!

If the king suspects his ministers, his ministers must die. This is an unchanging iron law. It is precisely because of this that Xiao Yicai led the army to attack Yizhou. There are three advantages in this way:

First, in charge of a heavy army, people can't plan, but they can wait for the opportunity to move!

Second, seize the territory, curb the development of Liu Bei Group, and lay the foundation for the unification of the world!

The third is to stay far away from Cao Cao, so as to avoid the disaster of killing him!

It's a pity that after all this hard work, Xiao Yi couldn't tell anyone that his wife was no good, his son was no good, and his subordinates were no good either, so he could only bear the pressure silently.

While avoiding the disaster, Xiao Yi was also worried about one thing. Most of the 10,000+ troops to attack the Southwest this time were his direct descendants, and most of the military equipment, food, and money consumed were transported from Guanzhong. Accumulated years of family assets!

Once fighting with the Liu Bei Group in a bloody battle, it will inevitably lose troops and consume supplies, and the strength of the Xiao Group will be weakened. Even if the attack goes smoothly, it may not be a good thing.

If the attack goes well, the army will definitely occupy Chengdu and go deep into the hinterland of Bashu. Apart from driving out Liu Bei's forces, they will also have friction with the various ministries of the Nanman. It will be difficult to get out in a short time!

On the other hand, Cao Cao failed to eradicate Xiao Yi, would he take this opportunity to make other arrangements?

The [-] troops led by Xu Huang and Yu Jin have already entered the Guanzhong area and joined Xia Houyuan. They are about to come to Hanzhong soon. The name is to join forces to attack Bashu, but they are actually here to pick peaches.

Xiao Yi was not afraid that they would pick peaches, anyway these few heads together would not be able to count against him, but he was afraid that when he led an army deep into Bashu, these people would suddenly mutiny and seize the eight hundred li pass!

Then block Chencang Road, Baoxie Road, Qishan Road, and Ziwu Valley to cut off the connection between Yizhou and the Central Plains, and then send an imperial decree to seal yourself as Ba Gong or Shu Gong, and come to Yizhou in Yongzhen, hereditary. , Accept or not?

If you accept it, the Xiao family can only nest in Bashu and become a local vassal, fight against the various tribes of the Nanman, guard the southwest gate for the country, and as time goes by, finally submit to the ruler of the Central Plains, this is a historical necessity law!

If you don't accept it, you will have to go to war with Cao's family. Not only that, you will not be named, and you will be subject to many restrictions. For example, the families of Xiao Yi and his subordinates are all in the Central Plains, which is equivalent to being held hostage!

There is also the terrain in the Southwest, steep mountains, difficult and difficult to navigate, it is difficult for outsiders to enter, but it is even more difficult to fight from the inside. Even with Xiao Yi's ability, he is not sure of victory. Bar!

This is not random thinking, with Cao Cao's level of strategy, courage and courage, he can definitely do these things, and there is a little sign of it. There is news from Hebei that soldiers and horses from Qinghai and Jizhou are secretly gathering on a large scale. There are signs of going south!

Therefore, regarding the matter of attacking Bashu, Xiao Yi was in a dilemma. Let's march in a large scale, for fear that the back road will be cut off, and he will have no future!

Standing still, seeing Bashu's big piece of fat fell into Liu Bei's mouth for nothing, he felt very uncomfortable, and worried that the big-eared thief would take the opportunity to grow bigger.

I didn't think about it carefully, and Li Ru saw it clearly, the nickname of "God's plan and ghost calculation" is really not for nothing, and his strategy is not inferior to Jia Xu's!

"Since Mr. knows my heart, I hope you will give me some advice. The Xiao family will definitely be rewarded. Mr. has lived for more than [-] years. Thinking about it, you have more than one wish, right?"

As the saying goes: The authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear. Xiao Yi is in a dilemma, and there is really no good solution. As an outsider, Li Ru may have some good words to say?

"What Da Sima said is very true. This old man has been living on mediocrity for many years, but he still has a problem in his heart. If he can get rid of this problem, what's the point of dying?"

Li Ru sighed a few times, dipped his finger in the tea, and wrote a few words on the table: sit in Hanzhong, harass Bashu, attack the city as the next, plunder people as the top, there is a change in the court, get out in time!
