In Jingzhou, the wind is surging.

Since Pang Tong returned, Liu Bei began to prepare grain and grass, reorganize soldiers and horses, and prepare to crusade against Chen Xu.

It's just that when Liu Bei learned that Pang Tong asked Wei Yan to attack and kill the angel, he was immediately shocked and had the intention to reprimand him, but he had to rely on Pang Tong's talent.

Liu Bei is also a person who is very good at winning people's hearts, and since the killing of the Son of Heaven is a foregone conclusion, he has not been overly entangled in this matter.

This time, Liu Bei personally commanded an army of 100,000, accompanied by Pang Tong, Kuai Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Chen Zhi and others, and Jingzhou almost left Xu Shu alone.

It can be said that Liu Bei is ready to break the kettle this time.

The army drove forward, bypassing a mountain road, Liu Bei suddenly saw a horse rushing towards this side, the man was riding on a war horse, and shouted loudly from a long distance: "Lord, Yizhou urgent!" ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly thought: "Could it be that the people of Yiyue have already rebelled?" ”

Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but be secretly happy, and hurriedly said, "Quickly report the battle to me." ”

After taking the battle report and reading the contents inside, Liu Bei couldn't help laughing loudly: "Good, good, it's great!" ”

Pang Tong hurriedly asked, "What made the lord so happy?" ”

Liu Bei handed the letter in his hand to Pang Tong, and said with a smile: "Among the people I am worried about in Yizhou, only Sima Zhongda'er, this time Sima Zhongda accompanied the army to the south to conquer Yiyue, and I am not afraid of the rest of the people!" ”

Back then, Sima Yi, who had just won the crown, had already shown amazing talent, which surprised Liu Bei inexplicably, and repeatedly revealed the intention of solicitation.

After so many years, Liu Bei even felt that Sima Yi was not under Pang Tong.

If Sima Yi was in Yizhou, Liu Bei would not have the confidence to attack the land of Bashu, but Sima Yi and Chen Zheng together led the Yizhou army south to quell the chaos, which couldn't help but make Liu Bei's heart flutter.

Sima Yi and the Yizhou army were dragged down by the Yiyue rebels, and although Ba County was still garrisoned by Gan Ning, Liu Bei was also confident that he would be able to capture Ba County.

Pang Tong read the contents of the letter, and immediately smiled: "It seems that we have really deceived that Sima Zhongda by sending troops with great fanfare." ”

Although Pang Tong is conceited and not afraid of Sima Yi, it would not be a good thing if he could transfer Sima Yi away.

As long as Yizhou can be captured and Liu Bei can occupy the land of the two southern states, the entire pattern of the world will change greatly.

Capturing Yizhou is definitely not just as simple as having one more state.

It must be known that Jingzhou is located in the east of Yizhou, and if Chen Xu wants to attack Jingzhou, he can completely go down the river from the Yangtze River or the Han River with a naval army.

In this way, the two major rivers in the north of Jingzhou will not only fail to become a barrier for Jingzhou to resist Guanzhong, but will also facilitate the eastward advance of the Yizhou army.

In other words, if Liu Bei could take the whole of Yizhou, the population of the territory would be doubled, and if he confronted the Guanzhong army, he would be able to resist it with the Yangtze River.

At that time, Liu Bei no longer had to worry about it every day, fearing that the Yizhou army would go down the river and kill Jingzhou.

In the same way, the reason why Sun Ce wanted to capture Jingzhou very much was not without this reason, otherwise he could have gone north to attack Cao Cao before.

It's just that in the eyes of everyone in Jiangdong, with the Yangtze River as a natural hazard, it is easy to guard against Cao's army, but Jingzhou, which is upstream, is the biggest threat to Jiangdong.

From the history of Sun Quan, even if he tore the covenant, he still had to take the entire Jingzhou, which can be seen some clues.

Now Liu Bei was full of smiles and excited.

But at this moment, Guan Yu spoke: "Brother, we have all seen Sima Yi's talent, so it shouldn't be so easy to be deceived." ”

"Even if Sima Zhongda really goes south to quell the rebellion, he will definitely make arrangements in Bajun and Hanzhong, and this trip to attack Yizhou, my brother must not be careless."

Guan Yu's words were like cold water being poured on Liu Bei's head, making his head suddenly sober up a lot.

Although Jingzhou released rumors at the beginning, saying that it would conquer Wuguan and enter Guanzhong, the goal of Jingzhou's army was also Wuguan.

But Sima Yi is not very human after all, how can he be so careless?

Turning his head to look at Pang Tong, Liu Bei said, "What does the military advisor think about this matter?" ”

Pang Tong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Don't be too anxious about attacking Yizhou, the lord should still send more detailed work to find out if Chen Zheng and Sima Yi really raised their army and went to the south of Yizhou to quell the rebellion." ”

"If this is the case, even if Sima Zhongda is prepared in advance, I am not afraid of it."

Liu Bei nodded secretly when he heard this, and ordered the army to continue to rush to Wuguan.

In Wuguan City, Zhang Xiu said to Jia Xu: "Sir, Jingzhou soldiers are less than twenty miles away from Wuguan. This time, Liu Xuande is the elite of Jingzhou, and he is menacing, does Mr. have a good way to break the enemy? ”

Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu with a smile: "Last time, the general led 3,000 people, and he blocked tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers to the death, and this time there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, so why should you be afraid of that Liu Xuande?" ”

"The general only guards the city and does not fight no matter what, so he can naturally protect his military skills."

Zhang Xiu thought for a while and felt that Jia Xu's words were very reasonable, so he didn't say anything more.

Although he is talented, he is not the kind of ambitious person, as long as he can hold the martial arts, as for being able to make more military achievements, Zhang Xiu doesn't care.

Zhang Xiu's mentality, although he is a little unenterprising, is not suitable for charging into battle and expanding the territory, but if he is allowed to defend a city, he will not rush to fight because of greed.

In other words, it is almost impossible for the Jingzhou soldiers to lure Zhang Xiu out of the city, and the only way for them to take Wuguan is to storm the city.

"Sir is resting here, and I will supervise the soldiers to prepare for the defense of the city."

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The general doesn't need to worry too much, this city defense battle has been prepared for more than a few months, and he doesn't care about such a while." ”

Since hearing the news that there will be an attack by the Seventh Route Army, Chen Xu has ordered the generals of the border pass to prepare for battle.

Zhang Xiu also lived up to expectations, hoarding a lot of materials to defend the city, almost countless grains, grasses, arrows, and boiling oil, and these materials for defending the city were supported for a year without pressure.

Shaking his head, Zhang Xiu said: "Although there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, many of them have never been on the battlefield. ”

"When I stand on the wall, I can also keep boosting morale."

"As long as it can drag on for half a month, these trained soldiers will no longer be afraid of war, and at that time, Wuguan will be impregnable."

Most of the soldiers who were sent to defend the city this time were newly recruited from a few years ago, and although they had been trained, they had never been on the battlefield.

Many people will inevitably be scared when they go to the battlefield for the first time, and all Zhang Xiu has to do is to boost their morale and take turns sharpening them in the process of defending the city.

In this way, when these soldiers have experienced the war, they will slowly transform into qualified soldiers.

Jia Xu nodded when he heard this, and said: "I was negligent in this matter, when it comes to the battle between the two armies, commanding the soldiers, and relying on the generals a lot." ”

Many people think that the role of the strategist is huge, and there are even some myths about the ability of the strategist, but when the two armies really clash, the role of the strategist is not even as good as that of a young general.

It can be said that strategists generally belong to the kind of people who give advice, and if they are allowed to command and mobilize the army, even if the strategists are outstanding, they are a little inadequate.

After all, not everyone is like Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Fu Zhi, who can not only give advice, but also lead troops to fight.

Take Jia Xu as an example, even though he is as wise as the sea, he doesn't know how to command soldiers, boost morale, and convey military orders.

These things seem simple, but they are also very complicated, as the so-called art industry has a specialty, these are Zhang Xiu's strengths, not Jia Xu's jurisdiction.

Fortunately, Jia Xu is also self-aware and will not point fingers in these aspects.

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Xu suddenly said: "During this time, I have always lived in seclusion, and I know that there are very few people who come to Wuguan, and the general must not leak the news." ”

Zhang Xiu felt a little stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help asking: "With the prestige of Mr., if you show that you are in the city, you must be afraid of Liu Xuande." ”

"Why is the gentleman unwilling to reveal his identity?"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "If Liu Xuande knows that I am in the city, he will definitely be on guard, even if he plots against the general in the future, he will also take me into account." ”

"Although I have a little talent, I will not be arrogant and think that I can see everything."

"If I don't know that I'm in the city, even if I make a plan, it's only for the general, and I want to crack it in secret, it will be much easier."

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he suddenly realized, and then happily agreed.

……

However, it is said that Liu Bei led an army of 100,000 to kill Benwuguan, and then stopped outside the city.

After receiving Liu Bei's signal, Wei Yan immediately slapped his horse and shouted: "The heavenly soldiers are coming, why don't the thieves open the city and surrender?" If you dare to resist stubbornly, on the day the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

Zhang Xiu stood on the top of the city wall, and saw that this person's face was like a heavy jujube, with long hair over his chest, and his appearance was dignified, and he originally had a good impression of Wei Yan.

But when he heard this person's words, he was immediately furious and scolded: "In the past, Liu Xuande was homeless, and my lord took him in and treated him very well, and even gave him a pastoral gift from Yuzhou. ”

"But I don't want Liu Xuande to pretend to be a member of the Han family, kill Jingzhou Mu Liu Jingsheng and his heirs, and dare to lead Jingzhou Mu without being canonized by His Majesty."

"Later, Liu Xuande attacked and killed the angels in front, ignoring the edict of the Son of Heaven, raising troops and rebelling behind, I hate to kill these traitors to vent the hatred in my heart, how can I open the city and surrender?"

"If you put down your weapons and surrender on your knees now, you can still live, if not, Wuguan City is the place where you are buried!"

Most of the soldiers on the city wall were recruits, and they were a little afraid when they saw that Jingzhou had a large army.

However, Zhang Xiu's words greatly boosted the morale of the defenders in the city, Liu Bei's face turned red, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also ashamed.

PS: Today, a book friend asked me if I would write a Three Kingdoms type novel, and some book friends have asked this before.

In fact, I also wanted to write a novel about the late Three Kingdoms, writing about the helplessness of Shu Han during the period of the Three Kingdoms, and the futile struggles of Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei, but at that time, the famous generals were all withered, and it is estimated that no one reads it, so I dare not write it.

As for the rest of the Three Kingdoms, I have written about the characters and plots that should be written, and it is impossible to surpass this one if I write another one, so there is no need for that.

I have finished conceiving the next book, which will be based on the Spring and Autumn Period, which is purely overhead, that is, it seems to be the Spring and Autumn Period, but it is actually a new world.

I have been thinking about this book for a long time, and I want to write the spirit of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the book will combine the martial arts and rivers, chivalrous tenderness, princes' struggle for hegemony, hundred schools of thought, and political reform......

So starting next month, the book "God of War" will be kept updated and written slowly, and I will start writing a new book.

The new book does not cross, in addition to the protagonist, there will be many shining heroes, they will all be the protagonists of that great era, or the sons of princes, or the heirs of great factions, or the founders of a doctrine.

I thank every book friend who supports the genuine version, there is nothing to repay, and the book friends who read the genuine version can add the book friend group, ask me for the role, and I will add the characters when sorting out the outline.

Book friends who need characters to join the group as soon as possible, and the name needs to be ancient.
