Chapter 1317 There is Yuan Zhi in Xuande's peace of mind
With Liu Bei of confidence, the spirit of the whole person is different. Liu Bei, who was at a loss before, seemed to be gone.
"Strategist, Liu Yu is now coming with a large army, how should I deal with it in Yizhou to be able to defeat Liu Yu?" Liu Bei began to ask about Xu Shu's plan.
Xu Shu arched his hand and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, please move to the map!" β
Liu Bei knew that Xu Shu wanted to give him a detailed insight into the relevant plans, so he followed Xu Shu's guidance to the map very generously.
Xu Shu pointed to the map and analyzed: "Lord, the land of Hanzhong, the fertile soil, the tribute, the three Shu." This place is connected to Guanzhong in the north, Sichuan in the south, narrow in the north and south, and Gaozu was able to become an emperor! β
Liu Bei knew these things, but he also knew now that such a good place was occupied by Liu Yu.
Liu Bei said with a warm eye: "Hanzhong is the arm of Shuzhong, but it is occupied by Liu Yu, and I can't wait to take it back." β
"The lord is wise, and today's plan is exactly like this!" Xu Shu felt that Liu Bei was too smart, and after saying it himself, he understood.
"Yuan Zhi, let's talk about it carefully." Liu Bei was shocked in his heart, retaking Hanzhong was just an idea in his heart, could it be that Xu Shu had a plan?
Xu Shu smiled slightly and began to explain his overall plan.
Liu Yu gathered more than 100,000 troops and rushed to Hanzhong. Based in Hanzhong, and then trying to benefit Yizhou. In my opinion, Liu Yu wants to attack Yizhou, and the best strategy is to divide the army into three routes. Xu Shu estimated Liu Yu's plan and analyzed: "Liu Yu's army is gathered, and he will definitely divide his troops to attack Zitong County, a county bordering Hanzhong in Yizhou, and Zitong County has a dangerous Sword Pavilion Pass, which is the first barrier in Yizhou. It's the first way. Second, he went south to Pasir County, stormed Bazhong City, and then ran to Nanchong, and then returned to the north to fight the Sword Pavilion. Its three roads, breaking Wudu County, trapping Yinping, Benwen Mountain, pointing directly to Chengdu. At the same time, the Gao Shun Department of Fuling County will definitely attack Hanping on a large scale, or send troops to Padang County, advance into Brazil, and jointly attack Nanchong. β
Liu Bei felt that if Liu Yu really did what Xu Shu said, then it would be really difficult for him to hold Yizhou, and said worriedly: "If this is the case, wouldn't my Yizhou be quickly broken by Liu Yu?" β
Xu Shu shook his head with a smile and said, "Lord, if Liu Yu succeeds in blocking the news, our army will have no defense, but it will not be able to resist." Now that the lord has learned that Liu Yu's army is coming, I, Yizhou, will shatter Liu Yu's wishful thinking! β
"Oh?" Seeing Xu Shu so confident, Liu Bei wanted to hear it.
"Liu Yu took the lead in attacking my Zitong, and the plank road needs to be repaired, and the lord can send a thousand soldiers and horses. Even if Liu Yu sent elite soldiers to trek through mountains and rivers and march across the plank road, our army could retreat to the Sword Pavilion Pass. The lord can send a general who is good at defense, relying on the steepness of the Sword Pavilion to break Liu Yu's idea of going straight to Chengdu. The three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first. The road to Shu is difficult, and as long as it lasts for two months, Liu Yu's army is short of food and will definitely retreat. Xu Shu first analyzed the first point and put forward countermeasures.
Liu Bei suddenly thought that this plank road had been destroyed a long time ago, and if he wanted to repair it back, it would take a lot of effort and time to repair it. Liu Bei only needs the least price to make Liu Yu useless, so why not.
But Liu Bei thought of the old allusion, Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang, if Liu Yu also came to this one, it would be a bit serious.
Liu Bei said worriedly: "Yuan Zhi, do you think Liu Yu will come to draw a gourd like this?" β
Xu Shu understood what Liu Bei was talking about, so he explained: "My lord, the Marquis of Huaiyin was secretly Chen Cang when he built the plank road in the Ming Dynasty, because the three Qins despised Gaozu and was careless and negligent. At that time, Gaozu occupied Hanzhong, and Chen Cang was in Guanzhong. Isn't it smiling and generous to paint a tiger according to a cat. If Liu Yu wants to refer to this plan, I can let him return defeated! β
Xu Shu's words were actually reminding Liu Bei that he was thinking too much just now. The allusion of darkness Chen Cang is known to everyone in Dahan. Liu Bei used this to describe the situation between Yizhou and Hanzhong at this time, which is really a bit unwise.
Liu Bei also blushed a little, he was really too nervous and thinking too much just now.
"In this way, if I send a large army to Zitong, I can stabilize the land of the three counties?" Liu Bei is very good at alleviating his embarrassment.
Xu Shu said with praise: "The lord is wise, it is true. Even if the Shenwu Imperial Court has more troops, he must trek through mountains and rivers and cross mountains and mountains, while our army can wait for work and adapt to all changes. In the next place, Liu Yu will definitely personally supervise the battle of the Sword Pavilion. Now that the troops are sent to Zitong, Liu Yu has come in person, and the lord is bound to appear, no worse than Liu Yu! As long as the lord personally goes into battle, the morale of our army will definitely be high! Sword Pavilion is dangerous, and under the unity of the city, even if Liu Yu has an army of millions, he can't shake it in the slightest. β
To let Liu Bei personally lead the troops to meet Liu Yu, this kind of thing is still a little dangerous. You must know that if the thief captures the king first, Liu Bei thought that if he was unlucky and accidentally shot by a certain feather arrow, the joke would be a bit big.
It's not that Liu Bei is too cautious, but Liu Bei has experienced a lot of accidents in the battlefield before, and his lifeline was almost abolished by Lu Ma Ge of the mount. Even such strange things can happen, and what else is impossible.
Seeing Liu Bei's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Xu Shu's heart sank, did Liu Bei start to be timid again? If so, it's really troublesome.
But Liu Bei thought of it even more. Liu Yu dared to fight in person as a son of heaven, how could he, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, retreat? If Liu Yu appeared and he was not at the scene, the soldiers and generals under his command would be bewitched by Liu Yu's words, causing Kaesong to surrender, it would be bad.
Liu Yu's worry is very reasonable, when he knows how powerful Emperor Shenwu's mouth is. I heard that up to now, few people have been able to win the battle with Liu Yu. After Liu Bei experienced the betrayal of Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, he was deeply suspicious of the loyalty of his subordinates. People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and Liu Bei himself can't be 100% heart-to-heart with others, let alone others? If Liu Yu promised to be a high-ranking official, God knows if anyone would be tempted.
Therefore, Liu Bei must personally confront Liu Yu. As for personal safety, Liu Bei decided to bring more personal soldiers and guards with him.
"Yuan Zhi, you're right! In such a situation, I Liu Xuande is naturally duty-bound! Liu Yu looked obliged.
"The lord is brave! Personally out of the battle, Liu Yu gave the head, just around the corner! Xu Shu quietly patted Liu Bei's ass.
The first attack in the guess had been properly resolved, and Liu Bei began to worry about the second way, and asked, "Then if Liu Yu goes south to Brazil and goes straight to Bazhong City?" Who can preside over the overall situation? β
"The terrain in Brazil County is the most dangerous, and it is not conducive to the movement of large armies. I thought that even if Liu Yu used this strategy, his troops would definitely not be much. The lord can order all the checkpoints and cities in Brazil County to prepare more strong crossbows and arrows, and when they encounter Liu Yu's thief army, they don't need to go out of the city to fight in the field, and kill and injure them with feather arrows. When its forces are weak, they will be annihilated in one fell swoop. Xu Shu waved his big hand fiercely. General Wen Chang is both wise and brave, and he will definitely be able to stabilize the land of Samba. β
Liu Bei felt that Wei Yan was good as the main general, but looking at the meaning of Xu Shu's last sentence, it seemed that Wei Yan wanted Wei Yan to rule the three counties of Brazil, Padang, and Ba County. Liu Bei didn't doubt whether Wei Yan could hold the situation. Rather, these three counties, collectively known as "Samba", are the largest in area and have a large population. In the future, Liu Yu was defeated, and Wei Yan commanded the three counties, resulting in the tail not being able to fall, so did Liu Bei do something to it? Or hands-off?
As the main father-in-law, Liu Bei will think of more things.
Xu Shu naturally thought about this point, and he proposed a solution, saying: "The lord and General Wenchang are sworn brothers, although they have no blood, but they are even closer. Under the command of the lord, only General Wenchang can be of great use. With the ability of a general Wenchang, it is acceptable to resist the enemy, but it is difficult to maintain logistics. I thought that Sun Gongyou was quite intelligent, and he could go out with the army, staff on military aircraft, and give advice to General Wenchang. β
Liu Bei nodded straight when he heard this, Sun Gan is absolutely reliable, with him by Wei Yan's side, Wei Yan will not be able to dictate power. Sun Qian sometimes even dared to contradict Liu Bei, and he had followed Liu Bei for longer than Wei Yan, and his loyalty and qualifications were naturally higher than others.
"In such an extraordinary situation, the matter of deploying troops is, of course, decided by the lord himself. The tiger talisman must be in the hands of the lord. Xu Shu made a big move again.
Yes, Xu Shu made Liu Bei unable to hand over the tiger talisman that represented the military power to anyone, including Xu Shu himself. Liu Bei's eyes shrank, he understood Xu Shu's intentions, and instantly nodded and said, "The words of the military advisor have won my heart." β
Xu Shu knew that Liu Bei would not refuse this suggestion, after all, this was a great benefit to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei could have an excuse to hold the military power tightly in his own hands, and let Xu Shu be this villain.
"Strategist, what about the last way?" Liu Bei thought of the last problem.
"Lord, if Liu Yu kills Wudu, there is a chance that Wudu County will not be able to defend it. But if Liu Yu wants to run to Yinping and turn to Wenshan, he thinks that I can do whatever I want in Yizhou! Xu Shu said indifferently at all.
This surprised Liu Bei. In the first two roads, Xu Shu either arranged heavy troops or arranged the overall situation, why did the last guess make Xu Shu so careless.
Liu Bei said puzzledly: "Military advisor, in this way, Liu Yu is going straight in." β
"Don't worry, my lord. Wudu, Yinping, Wenshan, although there are roads, but the roads are dangerous, and there are barbarians infested, if Liu Yu sends troops to this way, his troops want to reach Chengdu I don't know what year and month. I thought that the lord ordered Wudu, Yinping, and Wenshan to strictly defend it! Liu Yu must not be allowed to take advantage of it. Liu Yu saw that our army was in such a state, and he had to think twice if he wanted to send troops. Xu Shu said calmly.
"This? If Liu Yu pressed all his forces on the third road, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous? Liu Bei is still very worried, Xu Shu's arrangement is very inappropriate.
"Don't worry, lord! Arriving at Chengdu through Wudu, Yinping, and Wenshan, the journey was very long, and the grain route of Liu Yu's army could not be guaranteed, so it was concluded that he did not dare to use troops here. Xu Shu is very confident in his judgment.
Liu Bei obviously didn't have that much confidence.
Xu Shu arched his hand and said: "Lord, Wudu, Yinping, and Wenshan are the key to breaking Liu Yu in Xia, and I want to be personally responsible for these three places!" β
Liu Bei was arranged by Xu Shu to Zitong, Wei Yan was arranged to the land of Sanba, and Liao Li was in Hanping City, but Xu Shu himself did not arrange it. It turned out that Xu Shu himself was responsible for the last step.
Liu Bei Daqi, Xu Shu himself is in charge of this place, but what is the plan, Xu Shu can't say it yet?
"Lord, as long as Zitong, the land of Sanba, and Hanping City are solid, Liu Yu will definitely not be able to help my Yizhou, and when its food and grass are insufficient, it will be the time when our army will break Liu Yu. At that time, the lord will be able to go straight to Hanzhong and occupy the land of Longxing. Jin Ke tried to conspire in Guanzhong, looked at the mediocrity, and threatened Jingzhou. Retirement can keep the foundation of Yizhou and compete for dominance in the world. This is the great plan that the Lord has conceived. Xu Shu said his big plan.
Xu Shu needs to ensure the secrecy of his plans. Liu Bei's side, there can be two spies, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, can't there be other spies? If Liu Bei learned of his plan and carelessly told someone who shouldn't have heard it, then Xu Shu's plan would be ruined.
Liu Bei listened to Xu Shu say so much, but he didn't say anything about the specific matters, which shows that Xu Shu has his own intentions.
There is no doubt about employing people, Liu Bei feels that in such a state, he will give Xu Shu the greatest trust and power.
"Yuan Zhi! You dare to let it go! I believe in you! Liu Bei stared at Xu Shu eagerly.
Xu Shu arched his hand and said gratefully: "I will definitely not disappoint the lord in the next place." β
Liu Bei nodded slightly, he had already given power to Xu Shu, whether he succeeded or not, it depended on Xu Shu's performance.
"Lord, there is one more matter, we need to do it immediately." Xu Shu said.
"What?" Liu Bei was a little puzzled.
Xu Shu said solemnly: "When Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others left Yizhou, they must have gone to Hanzhong to meet Liu Yu, they are deeply rooted in Yizhou and have various protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials. These people are all big troubles. The lord had to get rid of it! The layout of the level and the city needs to be changed. β
"Yuan Zhi, I can give you this right, and you can deal with anyone who is suspicious." Liu Bei was very pleased, this is a wise man, and he thought of all the hidden dangers.
"Thank you, my lord!" Xu Shu felt Liu Bei's absolute trust, and his heart was very warm.
"With Yuan Zhi, I Liu Xuande is worry-free!" Liu Bei gently slapped Xu Shu's hand, expressing his affection.
Xu Shu also looked at Liu Bei eagerly.
Xu Shu and Liu Bei performed the feelings of the monarch and the minister in the study.
Wei Yan, who was standing guard outside, was a little trembling. It's a cold day, standing for so long, it's really a little difficult for him.
"Why haven't you come out yet?" A snot ran out of Wei Yan's nose.
