Great Wei Nengchen

………………

Liu Bei's ears are extremely big, and his ability to listen to news is also strong. After hearing this ballad, he didn't sleep well for a few days, and his heart was cold, but there was nothing he could do!

This time we send troops from the Seven Routes, if we win everything, it is easy to say, but if the battle does not go well, I am afraid that I will not be able to gain a foothold in Bashu if I lose troops and generals, and lose the support of the people.

"A large army marching on the battlefield is a waste of time and money, and death and injury are inevitable, but for the great cause of the lord, for the rejuvenation of the great man, the people can only bear the pain a little bit!

In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to Mobei fourteen times to conquer the Xiongnu in the north. The corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers. "Taiwan's crimes have been edicted" has subsided!

Then when the world mentioned Emperor Xiaowu, who would not give a thumbs up and call it the master of great talent and strategy? The great Han River and Mountains stretches thousands of miles, reaching the sea in the east, quicksand in the west, grassland in the north, and Baiyue in the south, all thanks to Emperor Wu's pioneering work!

Now that the emperor's uncle sent troops on seven routes, as long as he can quickly defeat the Cao bandits, occupy the whole of Yizhou, and then do more favors to the people, why worry about not being attached to people and not keeping his holy name? "

Seeing Liu Bei's sad face, Nie Peng hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and he spoke logically. He also used the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to prove that as long as he became a winner, people's hearts would naturally follow him.

At the same time of consolation, Nie Peng used the technique of psychological suggestion, the key is four words - quick battle and quick decision, which is not only said to Liu Bei, but also to the civil and military officials...

"Wan Li is right. As long as my lord fights quickly and defeats Cao Jun, what's the point of letting the common people suffer a little bit?"

"After the pacification of Bashu, the lord can exempt the people from paying taxes for three years, so that the resentment can be resolved and people's hearts will be calmed down!"

…………

For Nie Peng's "superior opinion", the civil and military officials all expressed their approval. It is the habit of rulers to do great things at the expense of ordinary people, because history only remembers emperors and generals, and no one knows how to rise to the top of ordinary people!

The dark cloud on Liu Bei's face also dissipated most of it, and at the same time, he secretly made up his mind that he must use the fastest speed to capture Chengdu and defeat Cao Jun, otherwise the logistics supply will not be sufficient, and the army will be defeated without fighting!

However, he obviously forgot a famous saying: haste makes waste, and small profits make nothing happen!

In a decisive battle with an opponent as fierce as a tiger and as cunning as a fox like Xiao Yi, there is no chance of winning if you fight steadily, let alone if you are eager to win... If you are eager to win, you must take risks, and if you take risks, life and death are unpredictable!

Next, Liu Bei rode on the Luma, led the civil and military officials, and the [-] main force, went straight to Han'an City, where he met Zhao Yun, and then rushed to Chengdu City!

Chapter 1535 Feng Chu's real plan!

"Report!--Congratulations, my lord, Weiyuan City surrendered without a fight!"

"Report!--Congratulations, my lord, Zizhong City surrendered without a fight!"

"Report!--Jianyang's defenders resisted stubbornly, General Zilong attacked fiercely, and broke into the city within half a day!"

"it is good!"

From the 15th year of Jian'an to the eighth day of October, Liu Bei's army set off from Jiangzhou City, and six days later, it joined Zhao Yun's troops. In the name of escorting Liu Zhang's coffin back to Chengdu, he began to attack the city and advance westward...

Most of the soldiers and horses in Qianwei and Guanghan counties are subordinates of Wu Yi and Wu Ban brothers. The two have become Liu Bei's quasi-uncles, so naturally they have to work hard. Guards, and local officials!

With these two "leading parties", Liu Bei's army marched forward triumphantly along the way, and soon conquered Jianyang City, an important town, only 150 miles away from Chengdu. Along the way, tens of thousands of soldiers were recruited, and a large amount of ordnance, food and grass, and military forces were seized. Expansion is extremely fast.

After entering Jianyang City, Liu Bei held a celebration banquet, rewarding all civil and military officials under his command, as well as the surrendered Shu generals and Shu soldiers. By the way, he also discussed how to take Chengdu City!

Because there is news that Liu Zhang's two sons: Liu Xun and Liu Chan returned to Chengdu, gathered their buddies, mobilized soldiers and horses, and prepared to wear Xiao to go out to avenge their father. A big fire burned the city of Chengdu, and it will definitely not be cheap! '

In addition, with the end of the rainy season, Cao Jun also took action, dispatching countless soldiers and civilians to rush to repair damaged roads and bridges day and night, preparing for a large-scale attack on Bashu. Xiao Yi also left Nanzheng City and set up camp Stationed near Xiameng Pass, spying on Bashu's every move!

..................................................................

"I'm waiting to congratulate the lord—conquer Chengdu as soon as possible and become the lord of Yizhou!"

"Haha, thank you for your good words, drink freely tonight, don't go home without getting drunk!"

"Victory drink! - Victory drink!"

In the middle of the night, on the upper floor of Jianyang City - the lights are brightly lit, as bright as day, and the celebration banquet is in progress, including Pang Tong, Zhao Yun, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Yiji... These old Jingzhou tribes also have Li Yan, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Zhang Yi, Qin Mi... wait for the new ministers to exchange cups, it's so lively!

The rest of the soldiers, big and small, some sat under the city gate, and some gathered in the barracks. Each of them was given a jar of fine wine and two catties of beef and mutton. .

Liu Bei sat on the main seat, wearing three red gold crowns on his head, and wearing a Sichuan brocade robe with dragon pattern. He raised his hands and feet, faintly looked like an emperor, and his old face was flushed from drinking, and he was already six or seven points drunk. Big laugh!

I lost my father at the age of four, and my mother at the age of fourteen. At the age of 15, I traveled all over the world, making a living by weaving mats and selling shoes. The road to world hegemony...

But the world is not easy to fight for. I have fought repeatedly and defeated repeatedly, and the city I just acquired is owned by others in an instant, and I was chased by the little black face and fled everywhere. My wife, concubine, and son can't take care of me. , Recovering like a fish slipping through the net!

Fortunately, when he was 44 years old, his fortunes changed. He joined hands with Biyan Xiaoer to defeat the invincible Cao Cao in Wulin, reversed the world's major events, and seized the southern territory of Jingzhou, finally gaining a foothold.

Now he has advanced into Bashu, seized a large area of ​​land, and expanded the army by 10,000+. In two more months, I will be 50 years old. I hope to celebrate my year of destiny in Chengdu!

Having won Jingzhou first and then Yizhou, we can follow Kong Ming's "Longzhong strategy" and send troops to the Northern Expedition in two ways. I don't know if I can celebrate my sixtieth year in Chang'an or Luoyang?

Imagine yourself wearing a dragon robe, sitting on a throne, accepting the worship of civil and military officials, and the sound of long live resounded through the court... Liu Bei couldn't help but get up, if he could catch the little black face and crawl under his feet, then It's even more perfect.

"Tonight is a celebration banquet. Why is Shi Yuan so unhappy? Could it be that he has something on his mind?"

But when his eyes were blurred, he found that Pang Tong next to him stopped drinking, and there was no smile on his face. Liu Bei woke up a little in an instant, and gently possessed himself to ask.

"The ancients said: Although the lord of the Ming Dynasty was happy, he did not dare to forget his worries. Now that Chengdu has not been conquered, Bashu has not been conquered, and hundreds of thousands of Cao troops are eyeing them. Isn't it too early to celebrate?

What's more, Liu Jiyu had just died not long ago. As a brother of the same clan and a successor, the lord should be deeply grieved in order to win people's hearts. "

Pang Tong didn't speak much, but it was like thunderbolts hitting Liu Bei's heart fiercely, and secretly slapped himself, his mind was completely cleared up, and he should think about some things.

You know, the fact that I sent my adoptive son Liu Feng to welcome Liu Zhang to Jiangzhou City is very secret, and only a few people inside know about it, but Liu Zhang died on the way, and he died very strangely!

How Liu Zhang was poisoned and when he died can be slowly verified, but through this incident, another thing is proved-there are spies inside the group!

There are spies inside, and the news is leaked, so that the enemy can secretly poison Liu Zhang at the time and place of preparation, and then pin the blame on himself, but who is the spy?

Those who know the inside information are all old minions who have followed him for many years, Zhang Fei, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang...follow the left and right, and are loyal. If they want to collude with the enemy, Liu Bei will have died without a place to bury him. Why wait until today?

No, there is another person who also knows about escorting Liu Zhang, but he is not his old subordinate - Nie Peng, a newcomer, a rising star!

"Could it be that Shi Yuan is suspecting that there is something wrong with Nie Wanli, but has he ever seized the evidence?"

Liu Bei was a little scared. He promoted Nie Peng repeatedly and let him take charge of logistics. He also knew a lot of military and political secrets. He even participated in the meeting of the Seven Routes to send troops. If this person is really a spy...

Thinking about it, I am a little confused again, because the person who suggested that I reuse Nie Peng and allow him to attend the meeting is Pang Tong who is next to me, and now he suspects that Nie Peng is a spy. Isn’t this contradictory? ?

"My subordinates don't have any evidence yet, but my lord, don't forget that Nie Peng was born in Zhengming Academy, and he can be regarded as Xiao Yi's disciple, and the two are inextricably linked!

Xiao Yi is insidious and cunning, and he is best at winning people's hearts. The friends, subordinates, and disciples around him are all devoted to him. Most of the students who graduate from Zhengming Academy every year are used by him. Occasionally, some who return to their hometowns dare not talk to him. It is the enemy!

For example, Lu Boyue from Jiangdong has been promoted to General Dingwei and is in charge of the elite soldiers, but at four o'clock and eighth every year, he will send people to Wuchouhou's mansion to give gifts. I heard that when Xiao Yi celebrates his birthday, he will go north How can Nie Peng be an exception if Lu Xun bows down, proclaims his master, and considers himself a disciple? "

In fact, the first time he saw Nie Peng, Pang Tong began to suspect that such an outstanding talent did not stay in the Central Plains to make a big splash, but returned to Bashu to be a small official. Is he really nostalgic for his hometown, or does he have other intentions?

Don't forget that in the Wulin War that year, Cao Jun's disastrous defeat was one of the reasons why Pang Tong went undercover and interfered with the command. Did Nie Peng have the same mission?

Therefore, Pang Tong tried to test several times, and even sent people to monitor Nie Peng day and night, but found no problems. This guy is diligent and capable of handling government affairs, and he has not found any loopholes!
