Thank you Wang Shang for adding a little brother's reward, from yesterday's power outage to now, I hate this typhoon to death!!

Li Ru didn't like Zhuge Liang, let alone Zhuge Liang himself, even Ma Teng and others could feel it, but for this, Ma Teng and others did not stop it.

No matter how Li Ru did before, he could be regarded as having contributed a lot to the Xiliang Coalition Army, and compared to Zhuge Liang, Liu Qi's person in Jingzhou, it was obvious that Li Ru, who was also from his own family, was biased towards that side.

This second, they are also confused, after all, in their opinion, Li Ru said well, Tongguan is sinister, majestic, since the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, after the Hangu Pass, before Chang'an, after the establishment of Tongguan, this pass replaced Hangu Pass, became the gateway of Guanzhong, if Tongguan is laid, and the defense of Tongguan, it will be able to lock the Wei army in the east of the Guandong, otherwise the Wei army will enter the Guanzhong with a soldier, which is obviously very good for the Xiliang coalition army that has taken Xiliang and Guanzhong as the home chassis.

Zhuge Liang, who put everyone's thoughts in the eyes of everyone here, sighed secretly for the imminent arrival of the Wei army, these Xiliang coalition troops were still fighting in the house, and the feather fan shook lightly: "Although Tongguan is sinister, most of the Xiliang soldiers are cavalry, once Tongguan is captured, the Xiliang soldiers will inevitably become infantry from cavalry, which will undoubtedly turn the Xiliang coalition army into a tiger with teeth pulled out, the most powerful Xiliang coalition army is nearly 100,000 cavalry, which is also the Wei army must be worried, once 100,000 cavalry become infantry, everyone, Do you have the confidence to defeat Cao Cao, who occupies the Central Plains and the north, above the infantry? ”

Although Tongguan is sinister, but you also want someone to garrison it, the most powerful force of the Xiliang Coalition Army is undoubtedly the first cavalry in the world in Zhuge Liang's view, it can be said that when there is the most cavalry today, it is not Cao Cao, but the Xiliang Coalition Army, which is close to the Xiliang Coalition Army. From the beginning of the world's strife, there were a large number of cavalry, and today, it is much larger.

If you want to block Cao Cao, in Zhuge Liang's opinion. Conquering Tongguan is undoubtedly the next choice, once the cavalry becomes infantry, Zhuge Liang does not believe that when the infantry is above, the Xiliang coalition army can block Cao Cao, although Tongguan is sinister. But it is not a pass that has not fallen, once Tongguan falls, then the form will definitely deteriorate to a point that he does not want to see.

"Hmph, Mr. Zhuge is a little too much, this time, the army sent by Cao Cao is only a small 10,000 people, even if you add those remnants of the defeated generals in Tongguan, it is only 30,000, and my Xiliang coalition army has as many as 100,000 to capture Tongguan. Wouldn't it be easy to exterminate the more than 10,000 Wei cavalry?! ”

Ma Chao beside Ma Teng sneered, for Zhuge Liang's words, he didn't believe in them in his heart, in his opinion, Zhuge Liang's words were simply unfounded and inexplicable.

"Ten thousand people, everyone, you think, according to Cao Cao's style of acting. Will he send out a small 10,000 men, and still have his generals and his son personally lead it? ”

This just shows that Cao Cao and can no longer send troops, and the four northern states are newly determined. Among them, Youzhou is even more vigorous, after Cao Cao recovered the four northern states, how much money and food is left to send a large army to rescue Tongguan, and send Zhao Yun and his son, it is Cao Cao's helpless move, because of this. I only mentioned yì, took advantage of the current capture of Tongguan, and then annihilated the 10,000 Wei cavalry in one go! ”

"Yes, Master Li is right."

"Indeed, this Cao Cao has just pacified the four northern states not long ago, how can he still have extra money and food to send an army!"

"Yes, I think I still agree with what Li Junshi said, it's better to capture Tongguan now!"

The generals of the Xiliang Coalition Army present discussed it one after another, they thought that what Li Ru said was good, no matter how they listened to it, it seemed very reasonable.

"Although Cao Cao has no money and food, he has wealthy families in Hebei and even the Central Plains!"

Zhuge Liang's words lightly made the whole scene quiet, Li Ru's face also stiffened, he really forgot about it, although Cao Cao has no money and food in his hands, but those wealthy families have it, they know that Cao Cao has married the youngest daughter of the Zhen family, the head of a wealthy merchant family in Hebei, in the recent period.

"10,000 cavalry, at most is the vanguard of the Wei army, if you think right, the real army of the Wei army will not be long, will be in the Tong Pass, if our army really captures the Tong Pass, then it must be attacked by the Wei army, at that time, whether it is to defend or give up, our army has fallen into passivity, and on the other hand, if our army does not capture the Tong Pass, then even if the Wei army's army arrives, its foot soldiers will inevitably occupy the majority, since ancient times, the foot soldiers meet the cavalry, itself does not have much advantage, plus before the Tong Pass, the terrain is broadAt that time, even if the Wei army really comes, then they will not only have to hold Tongguan to prevent our army from sneaking attack, but at the same time if they want to relieve the danger of Tongguan and even recapture Chang'an, the Wei army will inevitably defeat our army, and at that time, where to fight is equivalent to our army to decide, and the location is already in the hands of our army! ”

In Zhuge Liang's view, it doesn't matter if Tongguan is in hand or not, what really matters is how to face the reinforcements of the Wei army this time, as long as the Wei army reinforcements can be annihilated, then it is easy to capture Tongguan, but if it is captured at this time, it is equivalent to putting the Xiliang coalition army in a cage, and can only stay in Tongguan to death.

"General Ma, what do you think, is it to capture Tongguan, or as Mr. Zhuge said, besiege but not attack?"

"This, what Li Junshi and Mr. Zhuge said is very reasonable, it stands to reason that my Xiliang coalition army should capture Tongguan, however, my Xiliang coalition army is to save the Son of Heaven and save the Han world, since this time can annihilate the Wei army to the maximum, then this general thinks that for Tongguan our army is temporarily besieged but not attacked, and when the Wei army reinforcements come, I will 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, and they will be annihilated under Tongguan!"

What Ma Teng said can be described as righteous and awe-inspiring, at least Ma Chao, a good young man who is still full of enthusiasm, is already very excited and excited at this time, Guo Yan secretly despised Ma Teng's pretentiousness in his heart, and also said: "General Ma is right, for the stability of the world, our army should not be obsessed with one city and one place, but should do its best to annihilate the Wei army!" ”

After Ma Teng and Guo Yan set the operational policy of the Xiliang Coalition Army next, although Li Ru was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he also understood that what Zhuge Liang said was indeed quite reasonable, but it was clear that Li Ru would obviously not be in a good mood for Zhuge Liang.
