Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 131
Liu Chan walked into the meeting hall of Da Sima Mansion and found that the senior officials in Chengdu had already been waiting there.

"Come on, my son, sit here." Liu Bei pointed to the seat at the bottom of his head, motioning for Liu Chan to take his seat.

Liu Chan still sat cross-legged, but now no one is holding on to this point anymore.

"If there are important business discussions in the future, you should also attend the meeting."

"Yes." Liu Chan cupped his hands, it seems that after several incidents, Lao Liu and Chengdu officials finally began to value his opinion.

This is also natural, now that he has made great achievements and is still holding the military power in Chengdu, the weight of his words has greatly increased.

"Cao Cao's cousin, Sun Quan, is the Hussar General..."

When Lao Liu saw that everyone had arrived, he began to formally discuss matters. He first told everyone the news that he was a few days late, and then asked for advice.

"Jiangdong's defeat is nothing to worry about. Yunchang flooded the Seventh Army, and Cao Cao suffered a lot." Old Liu looked very high-spirited at this time, as if he was a few years younger. The army launched the Northern Expedition. What do you think, you can speak freely."

Liu Chan's heart skipped a beat, Northern Expedition?Personal enlistment?
"Hmm... Your Majesty, I think the matter of the Northern Expedition needs to be discussed in the long run."

Just as he was about to persuade him, Fazheng spoke up first.

Old Liu frowned slightly: "Why?"

"General Guan flooded the seven armies, which indeed caused Cao Cao a lot of losses, but the states on the eastern front are still full of troops." Fazheng Nianxu said, "Now the Xiangfan area in Jingbei is still in his hands, and Zhang Yun is stationed in Chencang. In case I come out of Hanzhong.

"If the Northern Expedition is to be made, then Jingbei, Qishan, and Hanzhong will need to mobilize the army of Cao and Wei with a change of reality. However, the Qishan road is difficult and dangerous, the supply line is too long, and the consumption is huge, so it is not a good choice.

"Therefore, we still need to conquer Xiangfan first, and occupy all the land in Jingbei before we can plan it."

Guan Yu clasped his fists and said, "Brother, I will set off and rush back to Jiangling to prepare for the battle. There are still more than [-] troops in Jingzhou. After the spring plowing next year, I will conquer Xiangfan for my brother!"

"Impossible." At this time Liu Ba suddenly said, "Even if General Guan has soldiers and horses, where will he get food and grass?"

"This……"

Although Jingzhou received grain and grass support from Yizhou and received compensation from Sun Quan, the grain would be more than enough to last until next year's harvest. If it was to support the army for the second Northern Expedition... that would be a bit of a dream.

"If I remember correctly, General Guan's recruits are only willing to join the army because the crown prince promised to reduce the taxes of the victims of Jingzhou people? You can't go back on your word."

Seeing Lao Liu's gaze turned to his side, Liu Chan immediately looked away, pretending not to see it.

After Liu Ba finished talking about the economy, Fazheng continued: "Although the number of General Guan's army is not too small, there are many soldiers and recruits, and the combat power is not as good as before."

What they said is indeed true, but Liu Bei is in a hurry!

Time waits for no one, he is already old, and in his dreams, he wants to fight out before the end of his life, to pacify Guanzhong and compete in the Central Plains like Gaozu.

But what Gaozu faced at the beginning was the opponent who fought on his own, and the Jiujiu old Qin who welcomed Peigong...

He, Liu Bei, has to face a unified northern regime. The longer the time drags on, the more stable Cao Wei's rule will be, and the more difficult it will be for him.

"Insufficient combat power, I can take Langzhong soldiers and horses with me!" Zhang Fei couldn't help but said, "The matter of food and grass can be solved together."

"How to solve it? Could it be that the three generals also said that after the war in Yizhou, they still have enough money and food as before?"

……

Then the two sides began to discuss, although they did not get to the point of urgency, but they did not give an inch.

After successive victories, the generals in charge of the army are all very high-spirited. Seeing the setbacks of Cao and Sun, they all feel like Lao Liu that hope is close at hand.

As for the logistics, it is naturally handled by the rear officials, otherwise?
The officials at Keshangshutai were more concerned with people's livelihood and economy, and did not support the large-scale military campaign against Wu at this time.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and if there's not enough food, they can't change it?

"My son, do you have any opinion on the Northern Expedition?"

Seeing that his son hadn't said anything for a long time, Lao Liu asked directly.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also looked at Liu Chan expectantly. Now the two sides are at odds, but if A Dou also supports the Northern Expedition next year, his brother will definitely make up his mind.

Liu Chan also knew what they were thinking, but unfortunately, he was going to let them down this time.

"I also feel that next year's Northern Expedition is inappropriate." Liu Chan said directly.

In fact, when it comes to now, Lao Liu also knows that he is impatient, and he is even a little relieved to hear that Liu Chan disapproves.

A general in charge of the army can ask the monarch to fight as soon as his brain is hot, but a monarch has to think about everything.

"Besides the lack of money and food, do you have other ideas?" Lao Liu wanted to hear if Liu Chan had anything to add.

"There are still two things that my son is worried about."

Lao Liu just asked casually, but when he heard it was true, he was stunned: "Oh? What two points?"

Liu Chan said: "One is Nanzhong, and the other is Dongsan County."

Old Liu waved his hand and said, "I also know that the barbarians in the south are not sincerely allied, but although they don't listen to the teachings and control, they will not succeed in the end. As for the three eastern counties... are they already in my hands at this time?"

"Father, do you know that Nanzhong is very rich?"

"Huh? But in a place with poor mountains and bad waters, the rich can get rich."

After Lao Liu took over Xichuan, although he sent officials to Nanzhong and other places, the focus of his concern was not there.

Fight Hanzhong first, then support Jingzhou, so I don't know enough about the specific situation of Nanzhong.

"The people under my son's subordinates have been to Nanzhong." Liu Chan said, "Nanzhong is rich in gold and silver, and its land is powerful, and it costs hundreds of catties of gold and silver."

Liu Bei's eyes flashed immediately.

"Besides, there are herds of livestock and horses in the hands of Nanzhong's tyrants. In previous years, what they donated was only a hair of nine cows."

Hearing a large herd of livestock and war horses, Lao Liu became even more uneasy.

Livestock is equal to the productivity of farming, and war horses are an important strategic resource.

"I have also accumulated a lot of other materials such as pills and lacquers, but the local powerful and powerful surnames ignored the difficult situation and took all of them for themselves." Seeing that Lao Liu's interest was aroused, Liu Chan said again: "And my minister thought that the foreigner would You must settle down first."

After saying this famous quote from Kaishen, Liu Chan himself felt awkward.

This statement itself is just a kind of strategy, and it naturally has different effects depending on the situation, but it is just used at the wrong time with a bald head regardless of the righteousness of the nation.

"To fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside..." Liu Bei repeated, and felt that there was some truth.

Liu Chan continued: "And I only have the land of Jingyi. Once we are in a long-term tug-of-war with the north, our army will be defeated for a long time. If we lose, the south will take advantage of the situation and cause chaos, and my father's foundation will be in jeopardy.

"That's why I believe that if you want to go to the Northern Expedition, you can't start the war lightly. If you fight, you must win, and then you can achieve great things."

Everyone nodded secretly when they heard the words, it was hard to imagine that such old-fashioned words actually came from a young man.

The generals headed by Guan and Zhang also agreed with what Liu Chan said at this time, and Lao Liu also gave up his plan to send troops to the Northern Expedition next year.

But there is still one thing he doesn't know: "I have acquired the three eastern counties. The mountains are high and dangerous, but they are four fortified lands. Why worry about them?"

If Cao Cao stormed the three eastern counties, it would probably become a larger Cao Jun graveyard than Jingxiang, and Lao Liu would wake up from his dreams with laughter.

It's just that Liu Chan, who has read the script in advance, knows what kind of things are with his brother-in-law...

Lao Liu was discussing enthusiastically here, but the waiter who was pouring water for Guan Yu accidentally spilled some water with a shake of his hand.

Guan Yu naturally wouldn't embarrass his subordinates, and the others were discussing enthusiastically, so naturally no one cared about this trivial matter.

It's just that the matter of "use space" has existed since ancient times, and the importance of intelligence collection is not the monopoly of Liu Chan alone...
