Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2711 Liu Jinu's personal expedition, the third battle of Hanzhong

Chapter 2707: Liu Jinu's Royal Conquest, the Third Hanzhong War

The current situation in the Kingdom of Shu can no longer be described as poor, but very poor.

A year ago, because of Liu Yu's act of proclaiming himself emperor, the Shu Han was attacked from the north and the south by the Great Qin and the Nanman. In the end, although they survived the catastrophe with difficulty, they also completely lost Hanzhong and a large area of ​​southern Shu. A population of over 100 million.

Before this big defeat, the development of the Shu Han had been on the rise, and the speed of development was very fast, and it was the second most powerful country after the Great Qin.

But after this battle, the rise of the Shu Han was directly interrupted by the middle, entering the stage of decline and recovery of war damage.

In fact, for the Shu Han, the impact of losing Hanzhong was not as great as that of Shunan. After all, Hanzhong did not belong to the Kingdom of Shu, and it was snatched by the Shu Han from Li Tang.

In addition, Hanzhong has not been in hand for a long time, and the people's hearts have not been attached. The only effect on the Shuhan is to improve the northern defense line.

But even if Hanzhong is lost, the Shu Han still has Jiange, Jiameng Pass, Baishui Pass and other great passes as barriers.

So if Hanzhong is lost, it is lost, and the foundation of Shu Han cannot be shaken, but Shunan is different.

Hearing Su Qin's words, although Liu Yu was somewhat skeptical, there was no other better way.

Su Qin also had expected this, so he sent the big who and He secret agents to provoke, gradually intensified the conflict between the two sides, and also sold weapons and equipment to the foreign tribes in southern Sichuan to support the foreign tribes in southern Sichuan to resist the southern country.

It's not that Liu Yu doesn't want to seek stability, but the main reason is that the situation is changing too fast now. If the Shu Han doesn't take risks, there really won't be many chances to take risks.

After the Qin army relaxes, it may be able to achieve extraordinary achievements with an army of 20. "

But Su Qin told them at this time that the Shu Han had to send troops to rescue the Sui Dynasty, and the Nanman would not hold back the Shu Han, and there was a certain chance of taking back Hanzhong by sending troops this time.

In addition, under the propaganda of Daqin, the people of Hanzhong have misunderstood me, Dahan, and will definitely support the Qin army with all their strength, so I believe that at least 20 troops will be dispatched. "

Now Daqin, in addition to single-handedly challenging the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming, even the Sui Kingdom in Kansai is also being targeted. It is obvious that the battle for unification has already begun.

"This time we dispatched troops to Hanzhong, we can't accomplish anything if we have too few troops, but we can't mobilize them if we have too many troops.

After all, under the control of the Nanman, even if the Shu Han sent troops, it would not have much effect, so why bother to go against the sky and waste money and people?It's better to continue to cultivate to recover from the battle damage.

With this in mind, even Su Qin, who is so wise and close to a demon, doesn't know how to defeat such an opponent.

The ministers of the Shu Han were not surprised by this. After all, the previous members of the meeting had already decided to rescue the Sui Kingdom, but only [-] troops were dispatched, which exceeded everyone's expectations. After all, how could such a small force be enough to take back Hanzhong?

If you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence, so the Shu Han must send troops to help Sui.

"What's the difference between 25 and 20?
Hanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Whether it is sending troops from Yongliang or Shuzhong, it is very difficult to attack by force. If 20 cannot be attacked, so will 25. "

The Shu Han did not have time to slowly regain their strength. Sit back and watch the Great Qin destroy the four kingdoms without saving them, which is tantamount to committing suicide slowly.

As for Xing Tian, ​​he was naturally left by Liu Yu in the south of Shu. After all, only Xing Tian in the Shu Han could stop Chi You.

Liu Yu was persuaded by Su Qin again.

Yang Guang was also misled by Daqin step by step, so he gradually relaxed his vigilance towards Daqin until he was completely trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself.

Hearing Su Qin's words, Liu Yu couldn't help but frowned. He didn't think that 20 troops were too many, but that 20 was too little.

This will undoubtedly make the Shu Han, who has already suffered a great loss, even worse.

Of course, this goal is obviously not easy. After all, Hanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is extremely strong, so it is natural to plan well.

After more than a year of recuperation, although the Shu Han has not completely recovered from the battle damage, its military strength has also recovered to 40.

Both Su Qin and Liu Yu knew that Daqin would guard against Shuhan, but they didn't know the specific strength of Daqin in Hanzhong, so they naturally had to carefully consider the strength of the dispatched troops.

Liu Yu knew that this Northern Expedition might be the only chance for the Shu Han to seize Hanzhong, so he naturally didn't want any mistakes to happen, so before leaving, he deliberately sought out his eldest grandson Wugou, hoping that his eldest grandson Wugou could persuade Li Yuanba to help the Shu Han.

Hearing this, Liu Yu waved his hands again and again: "Of course I know this, the military commander can rest assured, I am not Yang Guang, and I will not relax my guard against the Nanman."

Without the containment of the Nanman, the Shu Han could dispatch 25 or even 30 troops, leaving an army of 15 to [-] to guard against the southern kingdom.

At present, sixteen uprisings have broken out in southern Sichuan. These rebels alone have caused Chi You to burn out, so how can he have the energy to take care of other things? "

In addition, although the Nanman acquired several counties in southern Shu, they failed to fully digest them.

Su Qin explained: "Your Majesty, 20 is already a lot. If 30 troops are really dispatched, even if the Nanman has not digested the south of Shu, they will definitely put all their eggs in one basket and attack Shu at any cost."

"What about 25 million?"

Chi You was able to conquer Shunan, repel Shu County, and gain a firm foothold in Shunan, not only because of his own strength, but also because of the support of these alien races.

Under such a huge temptation, it is difficult for the local faction of the Shu Han not to be shaken, and what Su Qin said is indeed right.

Liu Yu didn't know this, but Su Qin saw it.

Su Qin said decisively: "No, in the war a year ago, although our army lost a lot, the losses of the Nanman were also not small.

How can the strength of the other half stop Daqin?
It is precisely because of this that the local Shu Han faction headed by Qiao Zhou opposed sending troops to rescue the Sui Kingdom.

And this is Su Qin's fundamental purpose.

Su Qin almost relied on his own strength to trap the Nanman in the south of Shu, and also won a precious respite for the Shu Han.

Liu Yu ignored these voices directly, and soon he personally led [-] Shu troops, as well as Liu Er, Kong Peng, Zhang Fei, Zhang Hao, etc., to go north to Jiange.

In fact, Liu Yu had already made a decision in his heart. Seeing that all the officials were silent, he asked, "Prime Minister Su, if I, a big man, send troops to aid the Sui Dynasty, will the Nanman really not repeat the north-south attack with Ni Qin?"

"My lord, our army can send [-] troops first, and stand in the Jiange to confront the Qin army, so that the Qin army will think that our army will not make a northern expedition. This time the troops are only sent to contain the Qin army, so as to relieve the pressure for the Sui country.

After listening to Su Qin's words, Liu Yu was completely relieved. After all, as long as the Nanban did not hold back the Shu Han, then the Shu Kingdom would indeed have a chance to regain Hanzhong.

Losing arms with Lu Ya has already made Liu Yu almost regretful, so he is naturally unwilling to let Li Yuanba go, but he also knows that Li Yuanba is unlikely to join the Shu Han, after all, strictly speaking, Li Tang was actually wiped out by the Shu Han of.

Nanman was also annoyed by Su Qin's various insidious tricks, but he did not have a think tank comparable to him. Prime Minister Shi Jieren also fell short when facing Su Qin, and fell behind repeatedly, so that Nanman was still unable to win in the south of Shu. Get out of the quagmire.

Su Qin saw what Liu Yu was thinking at a glance, and said, "My lord, even if Nanman is unable to intervene, he can't draw too many troops from Shunan. Otherwise, if Chi You sees the emptiness of Shunan, it will be self-defeating if he puts all his eggs in one basket."

In the last battle in Hanzhong, after Li Yuanba briefly appeared, he quickly disappeared again. He only occasionally visited his second sister-in-law, eldest grandson Wugou, and nephew Li Zhi during the holidays, but he did not join any forces.

But Su Qin only needs to dispatch 20, which is a bit too conservative in Liu Yu's view, and what Shu Han needs now is adventure.

But compared to the Shu Han who destroyed the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanba obviously hated the Great Qin who killed Li Shimin more, which also gave Liu Yu a glimmer of hope to subdue Li Yuanba.

Under Su Qin's various instigation and dissension, Southern Shu was in chaos. For more than a year, it has not stopped for a moment. Uprisings have continued. There are not only foreigners, but also Han people, and behind them are Shu Han Provide various support for it.

But when the power of the Han people receded, these alien races would inevitably have conflicts of interest with the Southern Man.

Great Qin is launching a war of unification in full swing, and the targeted Wei, Song, Ming, Sui and four kingdoms cannot protect themselves, but the Wu and Chu countries in the south of the Yangtze River are engaged in a national war, and the Yuan, Jin and Qing countries in northern Xinjiang are also unable to intervene.

Great Qin Xiongbing has millions of strong generals like a cloud, and even resourceful men emerge in endlessly, without any shortcomings.

It is naturally impossible to shake the Nanman rule in southern Shu by relying on these insurgents who can be defeated in one blow. It also restrained the great energy of the Nanman, and finally achieved the goal of gradually weakening the Nanman.

Regarding this, many people even thought in their hearts that Liu Yu had given up on taking back Hanzhong, and that sending [-] troops was only for the covenant, to help the Sui State contain the Hanzhong Qin army, not to really counterattack Hanzhong.

Su Qin knew that Liu Yu was very anxious now. After all, the Shu Han really couldn't afford to lose, so he was so timid, and then offered Liu Yu a strategy to outwit Hanzhong.

Now that Sui was determined to rescue the Sui Kingdom, Su Qin naturally had to plan for the next dispatch of troops. It was only one aspect to contain the Qin army to reduce the pressure on the Sui Kingdom. It would be best to recapture Hanzhong to improve the northern defense line.

Chi You thought that after repelling the Shu army and occupying a few counties in the south of Shu, the Southern Kingdom would usher in a great development, but on the contrary, he still thought too simply.

The next day, Liu Yu announced in public: "My dear friends, I have decided to send troops to rescue the Sui Dynasty, and this time I will personally lead an army of [-] in the northern expedition against Qin."

Daqin dispatched 30 troops to attack the Sui Dynasty. Although Yongliang was empty, it only left [-] defenders in Hanzhong to prevent the Shu Han from taking advantage of the situation.

There are no strong barriers such as Jiange and Jiameng Pass in the southern area of ​​Shu. Once it falls into the hands of the Nanman, the Shu Han can only adopt the method of strengthening the city or sending more troops. It will take several times more energy to defend against it than before. Southern barbarians.

Liu Yu is also very speechless to Yang Guang now. Your Sui Kingdom is already the weakest among the countries, but you are already on the border with Daqin, but you still dare to relax your vigilance, so that Li Jing can easily attack you. You said you are not here court death?
From the perspective of an outsider, Liu Yu would naturally feel that Yang Guang was foolish when he saw that Yang Guang fell for it so easily, but if he was in the midst of the situation, he would know that Daqin's calculations were too deep rather than Yang Guang's stupidity.

With Su Qin, the top think tank in the Shu Han, how could Chi You feel at ease to develop and accumulate strength?
In addition to the Han people in southern Shun, there are many other ethnic groups such as Dong, Gelao, and Tujia.

Among the major forces in the world, only the Shu Han could intervene at this time, but nearly half of the Shu Han's troops were restrained in the south of Shu.

Under the constant instigation of the big ones, the conflicts between the Nanman and the major alien races in southern Shu, as well as the Han people, have become more and more acute.

"Prime Minister, 20 is too little, I think 25 to 30 is safe."

Liu Yu hoped to persuade Li Yuanba by relying on his eldest grandson Wugou, but because he had suggested his eldest grandson Wugou before, and wanted to appease Li Tang's desire to surrender by marrying his eldest grandson Wugou, so his eldest grandson Wugou did not dare to see him at all. Even if Liu Yu personally went to invite his grandson Wugou, he still avoided seeing him under the pretext of illness.

Liu Yu also has a way to do this, and he can only let Li Keyong persuade his grandson Wugou. As for the specific result, he does not know, because he is no longer in Chengdu.

So far, the third Hanzhong war between Qin and Shu began.

　I said that I had to double-update yesterday, but Chapter 2 was not finished, and there was a difference of [-] words, so I dragged it until today. I still have time to continue coding today. If I write a lot, I will continue to double-update tomorrow.
