Shu Han Confucian generals of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 39 Cao Mengde's allied army attacked Liu Bei

Shock, absolutely shock.

Among the counselors, no one expected that Sima Yi, a young boy in his twenties, would come up with such a magnificent strategy. Once implemented, what he said about the momentum of Taishan's egg press is not exaggerated at all.

"Wow!" After a long silence, it turned out to be Cao Chan, who was sitting in the main seat, taking a breath. Everyone quickly looked up at Boss Cao. After all, no matter how powerful the strategy was, he still needed to make a plan.

"Zhong Da, what's your current job?" After a long silence, Cao Wei actually asked this question first.

"Yi is now Cao Yue, the east of the prime minister." Sima Yi didn't know why Cao Jian asked this question, but he answered honestly.

"With your talent, it's just an official. It's really a talent. I now appoint you as the head of the prime minister to help me participate in military affairs. If there is a good plan, come and report it as soon as possible. Cao Shen meditated a little, and then opened his mouth.

"Thank you, Lord!" Sima Yi quickly bowed and thanked him. From the promotion of ordinary officials to the main book, the annual salary was increased by 400 stones, and Sima Yi was greatly developed. Cao Wei waved his hand to signal him to flatten his body, and then looked at the people under the account and said, "I don't know what you think, how is Zhong Da's plan?"

Which of these counselors are not human elites? Seeing that Cao Yan first promoted Sima Yi, he asked them for their opinions. Obviously, he was very optimistic about Sima Yi's plan. In this situation, except for Xu You, who would not be so funny that he would be so funny that he could be bad for Cao Yan's Yaxing? I'll wait for the second time!" Cheng Yu and others had no objection to attacking Liu Bei first. Xun Yu and other conservatives thought for a moment and felt that under such a vigorous offensive, Liu Bei had to take off a layer of skin, and now it was also a second.

"Master, the rest of the way is fine, but the southern barbarians are obedient, so the southern barbarian Meng Huo needs to send a eloquent man to lobby before it can be done." Xun Yu's principle is that once Cao Qian determines something, he will go all out to support him, and this time is no exception.

"Well, Wen Ruo's words are not unreasonable. In this way, send the Chinese secretary to Wang Lang to lobby Meng Huo. Cao said with a slight murmur. Wang Lang is eloquent. In the past, he said that he had contact with more mountains at the time of Huiji. Wang Lang has some experience in how to deal with the relationship with these barbarians. At present, Cao Qian sent four messengers to Jiaozhou, Shuzhong, Hanzhong and Nanzhong respectively. Just wait to contact the good friend army, and you can join the army after the summer grain harvest.

After the discussion, Cao Qian left Xun You, and then ordered someone to take the old ginseng of Goguryeo's tribute, and ordered Xun You to visit Guo Jia, who had been in bed for several months.

"It's better to be filial!" Xun You came to Guo Jia's house, but he was quite surprised to see that Guo Jia was able to walk back and forth in the yard.

"Ha ha, it seems that Guo Fengxiao is not bad for me. How come he still has a few years to live?" Guo Jia said with a faint smile. Xun You was waiting to speak when he suddenly saw a few scratches on Guo Jia's neck, and he could also smell a faint smell of rouge on his body. At that moment, he frowned and rushed directly into Guo Jia's room that had not yet covered the door. Guo Jia was waiting to stop it. It was too late.

"Nonsense!" Xun You ran out angrily and shouted at Guo Jia. There was still a girl lying in the room. When he saw Xun You coming in, he was so scared that he quickly hid in the quilt. Xun You had known him for a long time and knew that the prodigal son Guo Jia had always been indulgent, but he didn't expect that he was still fishing when he had become so sick.

"Filial piety, your body is already like this. Why are you still addicted to men and women's affairs?" Xun You has a bit of hatred for not being a steel tunnel. He has a deep friendship with Guo Jia, and it's okay to scold him face to face. Guo Jia smiled faintly when he heard the words and said, "Gong Da, you must enjoy life to your heart's content. As your uncle and nephew sleep at night, I admire Guo Fengxiao, but I can't learn it. The mellow wine beauty is the best thing I have in my life!"

"Even if you don't think about yourself, how can you take care of your body and be responsible for the great cause of the Lord, and how can you lead by example to teach your children?" Xun You didn't give in and scolded repeatedly.

Hearing that Xun You carried Cao Qian and his son out, Guo Jia finally calmed down a little. After a pause, Guo Jia took the initiative to change the topic and said, "Gong Da, it's already the beginning of spring, and the lord will join the army soon, right?"

"Exactly." Xun You didn't want to continue to pester the topic of his private life, but also answered this more important question.

"I don't know where the main soldier pointed out, Hebei or Xu Yu?" Guo Jia frowned slightly and asked. Xun You was not ambiguous and directly told Sima Yi's magnificent plan. Guo Jia listened carefully, but his expression finally became more and more severe.

When Xun You finished speaking, Guo Jia said, "This Sima Zhongda is a talent. He really underestimated him before."

"Filial piety, do you think you can do something for this?" Hearing Guo Jia's words, Xun You couldn't help asking. There was a trace of expectation in his tone, just hoping that Guo Jia nodded. Although Xun You is also a resourceful person, he admires Guo Jia's knowledge even more. He knows that if it is his approved plan, the success rate will definitely not be low.

I don't want Guo Jia to think about it, but finally sighed softly: "This plan is still in the fifth five. Moreover, even if it can be achieved, it is only one or two cities. It's not enough to defeat Liu Bei in this battle.

"Filial piety, this is too much to say. Even if Liu Bei has three heads and six arms, it is difficult for these six-way troops to invade at the same time, right? When Xun You heard the words, he didn't believe that Sima Yi's strategy would not work.

"The Sixth Route Army seems to be aggressive, but how many ways can really bring a threat to Liu Bei?" Guo Jia was quite a little playful. Seeing that Xun You still didn't believe it, Guo Jiasuo's surname made it clear to him: "The Prime Minister's two armies don't care, just say that Zhang Lu in Hanzhong attacked the mediocre land. Zhang Luqi, a person who pretends to be a ghost, how can the Hanzhong army compete with Liu Bei's elite soldiers? And in the dangerous land of Shangyong Mountain City, Zhang Lu's 50,000 troops invaded. Liu Bei only needs to send a large general to lead more than 10,000 people to defend it, which is enough to make him return in no way.

"Liu Zhang in Yizhou, his son inherits his father's business and sits in Shu. Although there are thousands of miles of fertile fields under the rule, there are more than 100,000 people with armor, but they are not very belligerent, and Liu Bei and his father Liu Yan are related to uncles and nephews. Therefore, it is unknown whether they can agree to the Prime Minister to send troops. Even if you are willing to send troops, with the combat strength of the Shu army, it is not as good as that of the Hanzhong army, what can you do?

"Meng Huo, the king of the south, although there are more than 100,000 people who are good at fighting under his command. However, most of the southern and central tribes are independent, and even the coalition forces are difficult to work together. Most of the people in the south are brave and resourceless. It is unrealistic to expect Liu Bei to be in a hurry to join the bandage Jingxiang. What's more, Zhao Feng and Zhao Botao are in Jingnan. With this person, it is enough to be a 100,000 barbarian army. What's the way?

"Jiazhou Sun Quan was defeated by Zhao Feng in the past. Now he is in Jiaozhou, and his soldiers are insignificant. If he is the enemy of Liu Bei again, it is tantamount to self-destruction. However, Sun Quan is patient. Although he is also a fierce soldier in Jiaozhou, he is the only one who can make Liu Bei in a hurry. However, its strength is not good. When Liu Bei slows down, it will inevitably be completely wiped out. Although the six-way army is advancing together, they are far away from each other. How can we communicate with each other to protect each other? Guo Jia talked emptily and degraded the four-way army to be worthless for a while.

After listening to Guo Jia's analysis patiently, Xun You pondered it again, and finally smiled and said, "The words of filial piety are exaggerated. Although everything you said is possible, this is the best ending for Liu Bei. The battlefield is changing rapidly. As long as there are all the way to achieve results, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to take care of both the beginning and the end. At that time, if the Prime Minister's army breaks through from the front with a thunderous momentum, the overall situation can be determined. What's more, this plan is not possible, and there is not much loss with the prime minister.

Guo Jia was silent for a moment when she heard the words, and finally said slowly, "What Gongda said is also reasonable. Planning is in people, and success is in heaven. Let's see how this plan goes. After saying that, he also sighed. With his wisdom, he didn't quite understand the prospect of this battle. This battle depends largely on the character. Xun You didn't want Guo Jia to work too hard in his illness. At the moment, his servant ordered Guo Jia to serve the ginseng fried soup he brought, and then said goodbye.

In April, all the messengers sent by Cao Wei responded one after another. The first to return was the messenger to Hanzhong, who came with him, and Yang Song, an important counselor of Zhang Lu. Yang Song signed a covenant with Cao Qian on behalf of Zhang Lu, which stipulated that once Zhang Lu sent troops, Cao Qian would allow Zhang Lu to preach freely in the Central Plains, and the land captured by Zhang Lu was owned by Hanzhong. Cao Jian agreed to all these conditions, and appointed Zhang Lu as the Marquis of Hanning, and his brother Zhang Wei as the Marquis of Nanzheng. Yang Song, who got these promises, was overjoyed. Not long after he returned to Hanzhong, he began to gather people and prepare to attack Shangyong from the West City.

Not long after Yang Song left, the messenger to Nanman also came back. Meng Huo laughed at all the treasures sent by Cao Zhen, and also agreed to his request to send troops. However, Meng Huo also has another condition, that is, to make him the southern barbarian king in the name of the emperor, and lead all the southern barbarians to form a country. Cao Wei also agreed.

As for the return of the messengers to Jiaozhou and Shuzhong, the message brought back was not so refreshing. Hua Qian, who went to Jiaozhou, told Cao Qian that Sun Quan just smiled without saying anything after learning his intention, and then told him that he was a small number of soldiers in Jiaozhou, so it was difficult to achieve great things, so he could only move with a camera. Yang Xiu, the messenger who came back from Shuzhong, told Cao Qian that at present, there is a lot of controversy about whether to send troops in Shuzhong.

"Liu Zhang, if he could have the courage of his father, he would not be so hesitant." Cao Shenman snorted disdainfully. At the same time, in the Yizhou pastoral government in Chengdu, a large group of civil and military generals gathered together to discuss the matter. The core of the discussion was whether to agree to Cao Wei to send troops to attack Jingzhou. Liu Zhang, the current Yizhou pastor, sat on the main seat and looked at the civil and military people who were quarreling into a pot of porridge in front of him, with a very hesitant expression.
