Great Wei Nengchen

First, after more than three years of self-cultivation, the Shu Han has gradually regained its vitality, and has the strength to send troops to fight a battle. It may be almost impossible to carry out a war of annihilation, but local wars are absolutely no problem.

Moreover, the new mourning of the monarch makes people sad. Based on the principle that mourning soldiers must win, it can just boost the morale of the whole army and exert super fighting power!

Second, the civil servants and military generals who followed Liu Bei to start a business are gradually aging, getting sick, and passing away.

You must know that Shu Han and Sun Wu are far inferior to Cao Wei in terms of talent cultivation and reserve. Therefore, the more delays, the more disadvantages.

Third, knowing that the Shu Han is holding a national funeral, and it is not appropriate to send troops to the Northern Expedition in the short term, the monarch and ministers of the Wei Kingdom will definitely take it lightly, and the troops stationed in various places will also be negligent in taking precautions!

Taking advantage of this mentality of "darkness under the lights", the Shu Han suddenly sent troops to the Northern Expedition, which would surely catch Wei Guo by surprise and achieve huge results. Even if the Central Plains could not be overcome, at least a few counties would be captured, right?

Considering the above points, and then making a good plan, Zhuge Liang believed that he would have at least a [-] to [-]% chance of winning if he sent troops to the Northern Expedition at this time!

The difference in strength between Shu Han and Cao Wei is too great. It is quite good to have a [-]% to [-]% chance of winning. If you miss the great opportunity and send troops to the Northern Expedition in a few years, you may lose [-]% chance of winning.

In fact, there was another reason, Zhuge Liang didn't have the nerve to say it out, since he defected to the Liu Bei Group, he has been sitting in the rear, responsible for raising soldiers, food and grass, and taxation.

Now that I am the regent prime minister, in charge of all major military and state affairs in the Shu Han, if I don't establish a high prestige, how can I order those arrogant soldiers, and how can I make the officials bow their heads and obey their ears?

If you want to gain prestige, you must build military merits, so you must send troops to the Northern Expedition, fight a beautiful big victory, and let the world know that Wolong Wen can govern the country, and martial arts can stabilize the country!

Then again, when the bones of the former king were still cold, I was going to send a large-scale army to the Northern Expedition. I am afraid that many people would oppose it. This requires unifying the internal thinking first, and then it can be facilitated!

"Report to the Prime Minister: Shang Shuling, Yushi doctor, Chengdu Ling... and all the generals are here!"

"Okay, please!"

"promise!"

After a while, the guests came in one after another, including Fazheng, Dong Yun, Nie Peng, Wei Yan, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing... a total of more than [-] people, all of whom were civil and military officials of the Shuhan Group!

Among them, Guan Xing is the second son of Guan Yu, with high martial arts skills, brave and good at fighting, this time he went back to Chengdu for the funeral on behalf of his father, and he stayed in the court to serve in the court and acted as his father's spokesperson!

Because Guan Yu was far away in Jingzhou, he was unable to directly intervene in the government affairs of Shu Han, and he was worried that Liu Chan was too young and would be bullied by the Chinese and military officials of the court, so he sent his son to escort him. Live up to the big brother's dying trust!

"I'll wait to see the prime minister!"

"Excuse me, please sit down!"

The civil and military officials who came tonight came from different origins and hometowns, but they had one thing in common. They were all the main fighters within the Shuhan Group. Zhuge Liang summoned them late at night just to gain support and send troops to the Northern Expedition!

The civil and military officials are all good people. They glanced at the sand table in the lobby, saw the change of the position of the flag above, and then looked at the expression of Prime Minister Zhuge, and they understood it in their hearts!

The reactions were different. Some people were excited and eager to try;

"The truth is to discuss matters with your lords, and the idlers will go out, and a sentry will be sent outside the door, and anyone who dares to peep will be killed!"

"promise!"

The attendants and servants all went out, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and a layer of black cloth was specially added to prevent anyone from peeking at the secrets. Even the guards outside the door had to stand facing the outside and turned around. Those who die without mercy!

Only the invited guests remained in the lobby, as well as Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, Fei Shi, Ma Di and other officials of the prime minister's mansion. They were all Zhuge Liang's confidantes and participants in the plan of the Northern Expedition!

"I invite all of you to come here late at night, there is an important matter to discuss, please forgive me for any abruptness!

Speaking of the general trend of the world, if it is united for a long time, it will be divided, and if it is divided for a long time, it will be united.

In terms of land, wealth, and population, my Shu Han is far inferior to Cao Wei. If I am complacent and willing to live in the southwest corner, I am afraid that I will not escape the fate of the ancient Ba Kingdom and Shu Kingdom!

Liang was entrusted with the responsibility of the former lord, and shouldered the responsibility of the survival of the Shu Han society. We must not let this happen. If we want to survive and save the nation, we can only take the initiative to rush out of the remote southwest and expand the strategic space of the Shu Han!

Therefore, the Prime Minister has decided that in the near future, we will launch a northern expedition with all the troops from Bashu and Jingzhou, fight to the death with the thieves from the Han Dynasty, conquer the Central Plains, and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. "

…………

Zhuge Liang got straight to the point, and proposed to send troops to the Northern Expedition during the mourning period. Cao Wei was caught off guard, and he also had a specific plan for sending troops:

Still in accordance with the idea of ​​"Longzhong Countermeasures", troops from Bashu and Jingzhou were sent to attack Cao Wei, and one false and one real, attacking west and east.

First of all, taking advantage of Cao Wei's unprepared opportunity, Zhuge Liang led the people of Bashu to go northward along the Jinniu Road, storming the Jianmen Pass and Xiameng Pass, making a full-scale northern expedition, and attracting the main force of Cao's army to Guanzhong and Hanzhong areas!

Secondly, when the main force of Cao's army moved westward and the Central Plains was empty of troops, Guan Yu led Jingzhou soldiers and horses, bypassed Xiangyang City, and went straight to Xuchang City, destroying Cao Wei's lair in one fell swoop!

As long as Xuchang City is taken down and Wei Lord Cao Pi is captured alive, the Central Plains will definitely be shaken. The prefectures and counties can spread the news, and Sun Quan, who sees a profit, will definitely send troops to the north. Such a big event can be accomplished. carry on!

"The Prime Minister sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard in the front, attacking key points and conquering the stronghold, and sweeping away the stubborn enemies!"

Wei Yan was the number one main combat faction in the army, and he immediately raised his hands in favor of sending troops to the Northern Expedition, because only by fighting a big battle can he be a general of value and gain a higher position!

"My father has long wanted to send troops to the Northern Expedition to fulfill the lifelong ambition of the late king, to destroy Cao Wei, restore the Han Dynasty, save the people, and create a prosperous world again!"

Guan Xing was the second to speak in favor, which means that the Jingzhou soldiers and horses led by Guan Yu supported Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition plan, which was a great boost!

Immediately afterwards, generals Huo Jun, Zhang Bao, and Wu Ban all expressed their support for sending troops, but the civil officials headed by Fazheng did not speak for a long time!

It is true that all the main battle factions are present, but the main battle does not mean starting a war blindly. There are too many things to consider in a duel with the powerful Cao Wei on the battlefield.

Chapter 1651 Send out troops while mourning to conquer the Central Plains!

"My lord prime minister sent troops at the funeral, it is true that Cao Wei could be caught off guard, and it would take advantage of a lot in the early stage of the war, but everyone should not forget that Cao Wei is strong and has a vast land, if they can't be killed with one blow, they must gather troops to counterattack!

The population of Shu Han is only over a million, the number of troops is only 20, and the treasury is not abundant. Once there is a tug-of-war with Cao Wei, I am afraid that the logistics supply will not be enough, and the army will be defeated and the country will be destroyed!

Therefore, the old man believes that the prime minister can send troops to the Northern Expedition, but it is necessary to make a quick decision. If the battle does not go well, the army will immediately retreat to Bashu. "

…………

The world commented: After Liu Bei became king, with Zhuge Liang as his military advisor, Fazheng as his mastermind, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun as his minions, and Xu Jing, Mi Zhu, and Jian Yong as his guests and friends, he dominated the southwest and watched the world!

It can be seen from this that Fazheng holds a pivotal position in the Shuhan Group. Now that the mastermind is talking about the Northern Expedition, everyone must listen carefully!

"Your Excellency's words are justified. The key to this Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is the speed of your soldiers. After the sneak attack is successful, immediately push forward and pursue it, so as not to give Cao Jun a chance to breathe!"

"Xuchang City is guarded by heavy troops. I'm afraid it will be difficult to conquer. It is better for General Guan to take Luoyang City first, as the basis for a foothold, and then march westward, and join forces with the Prime Minister in Guanzhong. In this way, Si, Liang, and the three prefectures can be settled! "

"The treasury's ordnance, food and grass can be consumed for half a year at most, but if the army enters the hinterland of the Central Plains, it can capture the enemy's supplies to supplement the lack of military supplies!"

…………

Everyone discussed for a whole night, and finally made a decision: use the power of the Shu Han to attack the Central Plains north, and fight to the death with Cao Wei, and must fight quickly and retreat quickly, so as not to lead to the disaster of destroying the country!

After dawn, the civil and military officials left the prime minister's mansion, and according to the agreement, secretly assembled troops and horses, raised food, weapons, money, and made all preparations for the Northern Expedition!

It is also necessary to persuade other ministers, especially the ministers of the main peace faction, such as Li Yan, Xu Jing and others, to support this Northern Expedition, at least not to intervene indiscriminately!

"Alas!...Alas...it's so difficult!

After the one-night meeting, Zhuge Liang was a little tired, but he didn't go back to the dormitory to rest, but continued to stare at the sand table, sighing from time to time, obviously he had deeper thoughts!
