Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 470
"It is said that this trail is very steep and full of thorns, how can Bei make the military division tired with the army?" Liu Bei shook his head hastily.

"My lord is too cautious. When we entered Shu, we were not allowed to go to the front line. What are you worried about?" Pang Tong asked puzzled.

Liu Bei explained: "A military adviser is a strategist who does not need to be on the front line to take risks. This is what Lan Ziyu told me when he entered Sichuan, and he must protect you. People say, 'Snakes can't do without a head, and birds can't fly without wings' , I naturally have to be careful and cherish it."

"My lord, this." Pang Tong was very moved after hearing this.

Zhuge Liang hastily added: "My lord is not unreasonable. The main force in central Shu will send troops at the beginning of next year at the latest. Shi Yuan and Xiao Zhi will also be with the army as staff officers. My lord should also have some confidence in Yide. Judging from several times of leading troops independently Come on, the three generals are quite capable of scheming, and they may not be able to stand alone. It is rumored that Sun Quan once jokingly called Wuxia Ameng, and now Lu Meng is the governor of Jiangdong, and Yide is not the general who lost the city in Xuzhou."

"The words of the military adviser are also true." Liu Bei was quite emotional. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had sworn in Taoyuan at the beginning, had grown into pillars of the sky, and they could no longer be regarded as the past.

Zhuge Liang: "Just in case, Liang suggested that this division should add another lieutenant general."

"Who is the military advisor recommending? Zilong or Hansheng? And we have to keep a few generals to go with the main force." Liu Bei guessed.

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and smiled: "Jingzhou's soldiers and horses are now in full swing. I don't think there will be any wars in a short time. It's better to transfer Ma Mengqi back to Yizhou and follow Yide to steal a path to attack Wudu."

"Is this appropriate?"

Liu Bei seemed very hesitant. After all, Ma Chao was once a vassal, and his position in the army was higher than that of Guan Yu. If he was transferred to Shuzhong to fight with Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei, who was the general in the end, would be more difficult to deal with.

Zhuge Liang explained: "There is no need to rest assured that Yide will lead the army. General Ma has a high prestige among the Qiangdi people. This division will increase its chances of winning if he is with the army."

Liu Bei shook his head again and again, "The military commander doesn't know something. Yide heard that Meng Qi (Ma Chao) was brave and asked him to compete in martial arts many times. Otherwise, how could I transfer them to the two places? If Ziyu hadn't been in the middle to mediate , the second younger brother may also compete with him."

"Since General Ma has Ziyu's advice, I think he will obey orders." Zhuge Liang pondered.

Liu Bei looked distressed: "Yide is just a general who conquers prisoners, and Meng Qi is already a general of Pingxi. Can a low-ranking commander and a high-ranking commander be able to convince the masses?"

"Whether you can convince the public depends on the military power given by the lord, which has nothing to do with the specific official position. Besides, can you still trust Yide's martial arts?" Zhuge Liang asked back.

"I agree with what Kong Ming said. Ma Mengqi's name is worth tens of thousands of soldiers. Has my lord forgotten how Liu Jiyu surrendered?" Pang Tong nodded in agreement.

Liu Bei frowned, "Since the two military advisers have the same opinion, I will immediately write to Yun Chang and ask him to transfer Ma Mengqi's troops from Linju Headquarters into Sichuan, order Yide to lead [-] troops out of Langzhong, and Ziyuan (Wu Yi) led an army of [-] out of Chengdu, and the three armies met at Baishuiguan before November."

Zhuge Liang affirmed: "At that time, I will accompany the Lord to see him off, and check the situation of Deng Shizai's grain storage by the way."

"Just follow the military division." Liu Bei nodded.

The three generals, Wu Yi, have the least actual combat experience and the weakest reputation. In order for her elder brother to be able to retreat unscathed, Mrs. Wu did not hesitate to listen to Liu Bei.

In order to take care of this uncle, Liu Bei not only allocated [-] elite soldiers to him, but also asked him to choose two generals to join the army.

The generals in Yizhou have uneven abilities and are generally weak. Yan Yan, who is slightly outstanding, is under Zhang Fei's tent in Langzhong, and General Li Yan of Xingye is currently serving as the prefect. Wu Yi can only choose tall ones from among the dwarfs, except for general Lei from the Di tribe. For copper, only Wu Lan, a general of the same family with relatively outstanding martial arts skills, was selected.

At the beginning of November, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang brought wine and meat to Baishuiguan to work in the army.

There are a total of 5000 people in the three teams, which have been assembled more than ten days ago. Among them, because Langzhong is the closest and the earliest, Ma Chao, who came from Jingzhou the farthest, arrived second. Arrived late.

After Liu Bei arrives, the general plans to appoint a commander. Before Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Wu Yi set up their accounts, Zhuge Liang hurriedly winks at Liu Bei when he sees that everyone has arrived.

Liu Bei nodded knowingly: "This sneak attack on Wudu aims to attract Cao Jun from Hanzhong, and cooperate with the main force of Yizhou to capture Hanzhong next year. I will ask the military division to assign tasks to everyone."

Zhuge Liang looked around the crowd and said: "This time we are going to enter Wudu from the Qiangdi Trail, because the road along the way is remote and dangerous, and there is no food road, so there will be no logistical supplies for this battle. You must be self-sufficient to fight and support the war. Do your best to buy time for the lord to seize Hanzhong, if you can't resist, go back the same way, do you understand?"

"Wei." Zhang Fei and others responded loudly.

"The next step is to choose a general and two deputy generals. My lord means that the general will be determined by fighting with generals. What do you three think?" Zhuge Liang asked meaningfully.

Liu Bei was dumbfounded when he heard that, what did Zhuge Liang want to do?If there is any damage before the battle, wouldn't it be a disadvantage for the team?But now that the order has been issued, Liu Bei can't change it himself, so he can only frown and look at the three of them.

"I've long felt that it's cold in Baishuiguan, so I'll warm up my body by doing this trick. Do you dare?" Zhang Fei became very excited.

"I can't ask for it." Ma Chao said succinctly.

"Uh lord, military advisor, the last general knows he is invincible, so he is willing to be the lieutenant general." Wu Yi blushed and cupped his fists.

Liu Bei nodded quickly, "That's fine, the main general will be born between Yi De and Meng Qi."

Zhang Fei and Ma Chao went back to the camp to prepare for the battle, but Liu Bei asked a little reproachfully, "Why did the military commander arrange this? Both of them are the pillars of the pillars. No matter who is injured, Bei can't feel at ease."

Zhuge Liang walked slowly to Liu Bei's side. He held Liu Bei's hand with both hands and comforted him: "Don't worry, my lord, the two generals will definitely stop."

"Swords and guns have no eyes, how can we count them all?" Liu Bei shook his head straight.

Zhuge Liang continued to explain: "Both Yide and Meng Qi are enemies of ten thousand people. If there is an unfair competition, even if the lord directly appoints the lord and deputy generals, they will definitely be dissatisfied with each other, and Yun Chang, Zilong and others will also be dissatisfied. There is no way to understand Meng Qi's strength, only a match can tell the difference.

In addition, since Yizhou was established by the Lord, only Yide has been fighting abroad for a long time. He has never cooperated with Meng Qi and Ziyuan. , It can also unite the morale of the officers and soldiers of the three armed forces. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone. "

"Is there really nothing wrong?" Liu Bei frowned.

"My lord, you can watch the battle with peace of mind, what does General Ziyuan think?" Zhuge Liang nodded to Wu Yi.

Wu Yi was very depressed at this time. He felt that he should stay at home instead of appearing in the big tent, and he should have left with Zhang Fei and Ma Chao just now. The conversation between Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei did not avoid him at all, probably because he wanted to Allow yourself to recognize the gap.
