Great Wei Nengchen

First, Cao's army fought hard in Hanzhong for several months, with tens of thousands of casualties. Moreover, the soldiers were exhausted, and the soldiers were exhausted. Without a period of repair, they could not recover their fighting strength. Xiao Yi knew the way of using troops well. What about attacking my elite?

Second, it is now September, and Yizhou has entered the rainy season, which will not stop for more than a month. The rivers are soaring, the bridges are washed away, and the roads are even more muddy!

Especially the plank roads of Jinniu, Micang, and Yangba. According to the local natives, the roaring mountain torrents and the collapse of rocks made it difficult for small business groups to pass, not to mention Cao's army of 10 horses?

For the third reason, the lord can think of it, so there is no need for the subordinates to say much... Ha ha! "

When it came to the key point, Pang Tong suddenly laughed and said nothing, and just looked at Liu Bei with his eyes. The third reason had nothing to do with military affairs, it was entirely a political issue. Xiao Yi's backyard was unstable, so naturally he didn't dare to go deep into the land of Bashu.

This belongs to the emperor's mind, and it is not easy for a minister to explain it face to face. Don't look at Cao Cao usurping the Han, Liu Bei Baohan, they are all the same way, a traitor in troubled times, a tyrant in troubled times!

Pang Tong is also a minister, so he naturally knows what to say and what not to say. Will what happened to Xiao Lang today, after a few years, fall on him?

Chapter 1519 Pang Tong's Three Strategies!

"In this way, in the next one or two months, Cao Jun will not attack aggressively. This is the best. The ancients said: the outside of the bag must be secured first, and my uncle can calmly arrange the situation in Bashu first. Then go north and fight Xiao Yi to the death!"

After listening to Pang Tong's analysis, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that he is lucky and still has a chance to take over Chengdu, but how to achieve it still needs to be carefully planned!

"My lord's words are very true. Let's map the area of ​​Bashu first, and then go north to recover Hanzhong, and then we can get the land of Yizhou. How to map the area of ​​Bashu? My subordinates have three strategies: upper, middle, and lower!"

Pang Tong shook his big head, his eyes gleaming, the three strategies have been planned by himself for a long time, all have merits, but there are also some problems.

"Best policy: My lord writes a letter and sends an envoy to Han'an City. With emotion and reason, I invite Liu Zhang to come to Jiangzhou City to complete the previously agreed alliance!

As long as Liu Zhang enters Jiangzhou City, he will immediately release his accompanying soldiers and horses, and put him under house arrest in his apartment, and his subordinates will persuade him with kind words to let him willingly give up the position of Yizhou Shepherd to the lord!

Then march into Chengdu City, take down Shu County, Guanghan County, and Yizhou County without bloodshed, and then integrate the manpower and material resources of Bashu, go north to fight Xiao Yi, capture Hanzhong County, and close the northern gate of Yizhou! "

Pang Tong tried his best to state his plan in euphemistic terms, but everyone present understood that the so-called "persuasion with good words" was actually a threat of force to force Liu Zhang to give up the position of Yizhou shepherd!

Inviting people to come to the alliance, and then seize their troops and territory, this move is not open and aboveboard, even if the matter is successful, it will attract a lot of infamy!

However, judging from the current situation, this is also the method with the least cost, the fastest speed, and the greatest benefit. As the saying goes, those who make big things don’t care about small things. Back then, in order to win the world, Liu Bang used urine to escape, abandon his children, and share a bowl of meat soup... what? Have you ever used wicked tricks?

As long as the world can be won, someone will naturally paint these things with the Spring and Autumn style of writing, and make them bright and upright. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but unscrupulous literati can be found.

The question is, Liu Zhang is not a fool, just relying on a letter and a few sweet words, would he come to Jiangzhou City?

Although Pang Tong's top strategy was good, his chances of success were extremely small, so everyone sat still and wanted to hear his middle and bottom strategies, whether they were more suitable for breaking the situation?

"The middle strategy: Liu Zhang commanded an armored army of [-], and was stationed in Han'an City. He wanted to wait and see how the situation changed, and let the lord compete with Xiao Yi, so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman!

But taking advantage of his lightness and unpreparedness, he sent a general to command five thousand elites and rushed to Han'an City.

Then advance all the way to the west, the soldiers of Shu have no leader, and they will surely surrender without a fight. With Fazheng, Dong He and others as internal support, taking Chengdu is effortless, so the overall situation of Bashu can be settled!

Afterwards, Liu Zhang was moved to Jingzhou for resettlement, and let him be a rich man. "

Pang Tong's plan was much more overbearing. To seize Bashu by force, everyone gathered around and stared at the giant sand table, calculating how much risk and how sure they were?

Han'an City is located in the southwest of Jiangzhou. The distance between the two places is more than 350 miles. Although there is a plain in the middle, it is separated by the Jialing River and the Tuojiang River. There are no bridges on it, and boats are needed to cross it!

Now is the rainy season again, the roads along the way are muddy and the river is soaring, even the most elite troops can only advance tens of miles a day and night, and it will take four or five days to reach Han'an City.

Han'an City is an important town in Qianwei County. The city is high, the pool is deep, the defense is strong, and there are 4 troops stationed there.

Besides, Liu Yan, Liu Zhang and his son have been in Bashu for more than [-] years, and they also have a large number of confidantes, and their eyeliners are spread all over the place. As long as Liu Bei's army is dispatched, someone will send the news to them.

After Liu Zhang received the news, he must set up an ambush in Han'an City. If 5000 people went to sneak attack, it would be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and the already fragile alliance with Liu Zhang would also fall apart!

"The younger brother is willing to lead five thousand elites to attack Han'an city concurrently, capture Liu Zhang and his followers alive, and dedicate them to the eldest brother's command!"

"The key to taking Han'an City is a fast word. Most of the last generals are cavalry, which is more suitable for long-distance raids!"

"Zilong, are you arguing for credit with me again?"

"The three generals are poor, you and I are both serving the lord, why talk about a word of contention?"

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun started to quarrel again. It seemed that they were competing for a great achievement, but in fact, they knew that this trip was full of dangers, and they might not be [-]% sure.

Long-distance raids, defeating the strong with the weak, and conquering the strong city and capturing the opponent's leader alive, such a risky military operation, looking around the world today, there are not a few people who dare to do it, but there is only one who succeeds - Xiao Yi!

"Yide and Zilong don't quarrel first, listen to the strategist's bad plan, and then we will discuss it in the long run, there will always be a solution!"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, and did not dare to easily agree to send troops. This strategy was too risky. Although he longed for the land of Bashu and the position of Yizhou Mu, he cherished the lives of his confidant generals even more!

If the city is gone, you can take it back, and if the soldiers are gone, you can still envy them again, but Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are such loyal and brave generals who can live and die with them, but they are rare.

"The worst strategy: give up the plan to enter Sichuan, plunder the population, livestock, and wealth of Berkshire, retreat the army to the south of Jingzhou, save the troops in hand, and let Liu Zhang and Xiao Yi fight to the death!

The lord took advantage of this opportunity to attack Xiangyang City and Wancheng with all his strength, took the northern part of Jingzhou into his pocket, and then spied on Xuchang and Luoyang!

Cao Ying's old lair is threatened, Xiao Yi will definitely return to the rescue, so that Bashu will be safe and sound, and the lord can wait for a good opportunity, and it's not too late to plan slowly!

There are three top, middle and bottom strategies, please choose one quickly, the princess, if you hesitate, lose the right to advance or retreat, and miss the great opportunity in front of you, I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe! "

After talking about the worst strategy, Pang Tong couldn't help sighing, if the army retreats to Jingzhou, it means that his plan to advance in Bashu has completely failed.

Back then, he and Kong Ming had been at loggerheads over this matter. After arguing for several months, he won the chance to enter Sichuan with his lord. If he really wanted to return to Jiangling City, what face would he have to see Kong Ming again?

"Whirring whirring!"

For a moment, there was silence in the lobby, only the sound of heavy breathing and the crackling of candles. Everyone was staring at Liu Bei. There are three strategies: up, middle and down. Which one should you choose?

This is a life-and-death choice. If you choose the right one, you will fly to the sky, but if you choose the wrong one, the consequences will be unpredictable. Maybe these people present will be buried in Bashu!

"The three strategies proposed by Shi Yuan are all words for the peace and stability of the country, and they do not conflict with each other. It is better to follow them one by one. Thanks to God's protection, we will enter Chengdu and sweep the southwestern half of the country!

If the heaven is not beautiful, I will go back to Jingzhou and join forces with Kong Ming and my second brother. It is not too late to make plans!

Bandit Cao is old and sick, and he has few days left to live. As long as this bandit dies, the Central Plains will be in chaos. We will take the opportunity to launch the Northern Expedition, and we will be able to subdue both capitals, and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty again! "

Liu Bei pondered for a while, and finally made a decision. He used all the three strategies above, middle and below, that is, to send envoys there first to lure Liu Zhang to form an alliance.

If the sneak attack was unsuccessful, then he had no choice but to retreat to the south of Jingzhou, otherwise with his current strength, he would not be able to fight Xiao Yi at all, even if the opponent's backyard was unstable, he would not have much chance of winning, the difference in strength was too great!

"Where is Mr. Gongyou?"

"This subordinate is here!"

"Mr. please take a trip, go to Han'an City to meet Liu Jiyu, and say that my uncle pointed to the Jialing River as an oath: This alliance is only for the brothers of the same clan to join hands to fight against the Cao bandits in the north. There is absolutely no heart to kill each other. If you violate it, your descendants will not love you!"

"promise!"

Liu Bei really went all out, and first wrote a long letter with eloquent words and a sincere tone, inviting Liu Zhang to come to meet him, and in order to show his sincerity, he even made a vicious oath!

The so-called children and grandchildren are not wise, which means that if one violates the oath, the children born will be fools and cannot inherit the inheritance of the ancestors. This was already a very vicious oath in the Qin and Han Dynasties, second only to cutting off children and grandchildren!
