Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 791

Seeing that the two children were so excited, Lan Tian pointed to the maps on the surrounding wall and said with a solemn expression: "Boyang and Zhongling will be the pillars of the country in the future, and we must learn to look at problems from the overall perspective, just like this time when the three places fought back and forth. Similarly, only by understanding the relationship between the three battlefields can we predict the future direction of the war and make decisions that benefit our own side.

For example, if you are in the Nanyang battlefield and you lead an army to attack Cao Jun, you must do your best to make Cao Jun feel threatened, but you can't really fight Cao Jun recklessly, because General Guan's task is to restrain rather than kill the enemy.

Generals must flexibly grasp every attack and retreat. If the general's overall awareness is strong enough, will General Guan be much more relaxed?He will focus on ordinary generals."

Lan Tian explained in a simple way with examples, which made the two brothers nod frequently, and Lan Ji patted his chest to assure: "It turns out that it is only one thing that can make the master feel at ease. I will definitely study hard in Huben Wutang, and I will work hard to become such a person in the future. "

"I also feel that I don't have enough experience in leading troops, and I will have to ask Uncle Gao for advice in the future." Lan Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Take your time. There are only a handful of generals in the world who can do what Mr. said, even me." Gao Shunxin said that there are not many famous generals of that kind, even if the master's ideological level is high. , but poor martial arts is a flaw. Although he can lead troops, his prestige is slightly insufficient.

Lan Tian stroked his beard and sighed: "The overall view is not only reflected in the military, but also in the political and economic aspects. You see, I have not resorted to militarism in Jiaozhou these years, right? Why can I easily resolve Sun Quan's two sneak attacks? Building weapons, raising war horses, collecting intelligence, and even running schools and developing businesses are all invisible battles. Doing these things may not necessarily make you famous, but you can definitely influence the direction of the war.”

"Sun Tzu said, 'The first step is to attack the enemy, the next step is to attack the enemy, the second step is to attack the army, and the next step is to attack the city'. The father did these things as a soldier, and the child seems to be more transparent."

Lan Yuan seemed to have realized something, but Lan Ji felt lonely when he heard it. He scratched his head and looked at his brother, thinking how to get through it?
"Learn slowly, you still have a long way to go." After sighing, Lan Tian joked to Gao Shun: "It's late at night now, let's go home, Boping has to walk at night again."

"Wei." The two brothers echoed in unison.

"Sir, you are joking. There is no need to be afraid of taking a few steps at night. I will leave first." Gao Shun clasped his fists and turned to push the door.

The father and son followed closely behind, walking towards the back house under the moonlight.

On the eighth day of November, Deng Ai's "letter from home" was sent to Guangzhou. After reading the letter, Lan Tian hurriedly deployed. The matter of cochin must be put on the agenda. The battle between Yongliang and Liangzhou will start soon. All attention is on Soochow.

If the war in Yongliang gets worse, Lantian is worried that Cao Pi will reconcile with Sun Quan, and even Sun Quan will take the initiative to provoke him on the grounds that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. At that time, Sun Cao's more than [-] soldiers on the Huainan battlefield will all be transferred to the Jingzhou battlefield, and Guan Yu will bear it. The pressure will be very high.

Lan Tian will never let a passive situation happen. Even if Sun Quan just pretends to be provocative, Lan Tian will take the initiative to eliminate the danger. This is the overall view he emphasized to his two sons.

It's like two chess players playing a game of chess. The common player sees three moves, the proficient player sees ten moves, and the skilled player sees through the game.

At this moment, Lan Tian thought of a famous anchor quote: What you see is the second floor, but you only imagine me as the first floor, but in fact I am on the fifth floor.

Deng Ai mentioned in the letter that a few months ago, the soldiers in the south of Yizhou were divided into hundreds of people. They died down and carried compressed dry food. Every day, there were teams walking on the Jinniu Road. By mid-October, Tens of thousands of people have gathered at Yangping Pass, and Deng Ai also sorted out the grain and grass stored in his fields and loaded them into vehicles. He is now waiting for Liu Bei to arrive and give an order. He guessed that Liu Bei will arrive in Hanzhong in late October.

Before and after Lantian received the letter from home, Liu Bei had already led his team to Yangping Pass, and summoned all the frontline generals to deploy a counterattack against Yongliang.

At this time, 61-year-old Liu Bei was sitting on the stage. Although his beard and hair were mixed with gray and white, and he was a late hero, he was still in good spirits because he thought that he was gradually approaching his ideal.

In addition to arranging Zhuge Liang, Lai Gong, Li Yan, Yang Hong and others to stay behind, Liu Bei transferred all the generals who could be used to fighting to the front line of Hanzhong to listen to them, intending to do their best in one battle.

On the lower right side of the tent are Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhao Yun, Feng Xi, Chen Shi, Gao Xiang, Fu Xun, Zhang Nan, and Deng Ai, and on the lower left side are Fazheng, Ma Chao, Wu Yi, Huang Quan, Yan Yan, Deng Xian, Ma Dai, Wang Ping, Pang Rou, Zhang Yi and more than a dozen people.

The position in the military tent is very particular, the Jingzhou faction is the main one on the right side, supplemented by a small amount of Yuan Cong faction, and the Dongzhou faction is the main part on the left side, supplemented by a small number of generals. Everyone sits in order according to their official positions .

Liu Bei assembled a very strong lineup at Yangping Pass, plus Qishan Dazhai Zhang Fei, Lei Tong, Jiang Wei and other generals, the scale was more luxurious than when Hanzhong was fighting against Cao Cao, so he was very interested in this battle.

"We have been preparing for several years, and after several months of secret deployment, what we are waiting for is today's gathering of generals. We have bet everything in Yizhou. In addition to 30 soldiers and horses, we have also recruited [-] corvees. This battle can only be won but not allowed. Defeated." Liu Bei started the pre-war mobilization seriously.

"Definitely."

"Must win."

Huang Zhong cooperated and shouted first, and then all the generals in the tent shouted in unison, as if they wanted to close Yangping on the roof and overturn it.

Liu Bei glanced at Huang Zhong gratifiedly, and nodded affirmatively: "I think the old general is full of spirit, this time he can still be the same as three years ago? Will Gu kill another general of the Cao army?"

Huang Zhong stroked his white beard, patted his chest and said: "Cao Pi's guard in Yongliang, except for Zhang Yun who can barely survive the attack, the rest of the rats are not enough for everyone to kill."

"Hahaha, Cao Zhen beheaded more than [-] rebels in Hexi last year, captured more than [-] people, [-] cattle, and millions of sheep. The old general should not underestimate the enemy." Liu Bei told Huang Zhong the relevant information.

"It's not that the last general underestimated the enemy. Xia Houyuan died under the sword of the minister, so what is Cao Zhen afraid of? Now that the minister has entered Yongliang with the king's army, the last general is willing to be the vanguard." Huang Zhong secretly glanced at Fazheng while speaking, I said in my heart that the military adviser will continue to help me this time, and I, Lao Huang, still want to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.

Zhao Yun quickly interrupted and talked about the past: "Last time at the banks of the Han River, Yun had already given in to the old general once, so I should pay back the favor, right? I'm the vanguard this time."

"Uh, it's human favors, but the old man is General Zhengxi after all, and it's only natural for the king to conquer the west and open up borders. How can he shirk his responsibility."

"Old general, don't play tricks, I will go this time, and it will be yours next time."

"I'll go this time, and next time I will definitely let Zilong."

Huang Zhong was blushing and his neck was thick. Zhao Yun knew that the opportunity was really rare, and he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to be a pioneer.

Liu Bei looked at Pang Tong and Fazheng, waved his hands with a smile and said, "Han Sheng and Zilong don't need to quarrel, and it won't be too late to speak after Gu completes the deployment and scheduling."

"Wei." Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun clasped their fists to silence.

Liu Bei looked around at the generals, picked up a token on the table, and began to issue orders: "Shi Yuan, Meng Qi, and Xian Da listen to the order."

"The minister (the last general) is here." Pang Tong, Ma Chao, and Pang Rou stepped out and clasped their fists at the same time.
