Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 146 Not Confused
When it comes to holding back laughter, Liu Chan has always been a professional...unless he really can't hold back.

When he went to Shangyong with Lao Liu last time, he realized that this place is full of mountains and rivers.

It's just that last time I was focused on Liu Feng and Jingzhou, I didn't carefully read the complete topographic map of this place.

Now take a closer look... How can there be so many mountains and rivers?

In addition to the mountains, valleys, Mianshui and its tributaries, there is nothing else in the three eastern counties.

Cultivated land can only use gentle hillsides and large intermountain valleys, which are distributed in fragments and the farming efficiency is extremely low.

Liu Feng felt that the Shen family brothers' schemes were lacking, and they were really wronged. If it weren't for the gold mining in the mists, the Shen family might not be able to thrive in this poor place for another hundred years.

The land of the three counties is not only difficult to communicate with the outside world, but even the three internal counties are blocked by layers. If it is not for the communication between the Mianshui, it will become three independent small communities.

Fangling was even used to exile prisoners in the pre-Qin period, which shows its danger.

Not far to the southeast is Shennongjia... Fortunately, the temperature has not yet fully recovered. If everything recovers, only poisonous snakes and insects will be enough for Cao Jun to drink a pot.

Even without these now, Cao Jun still has to face the biggest weakening.

Your horse is gone!

With this kind of terrain, the Dian horses that were born in the mountains can still travel in the less steep places in the mountains, but the northern horses like Cao Jun that were born in the prairie and plains are completely useless.

Cao Jun's greatest cavalry advantage disappeared in the three counties!

Cao Junma is gone, how can Liu Chan hold back his smile?

Then look at the people under your command?

Yizhou bandits, Jiangdong Shanyue, and Danyang mountain people... These guys are ruthless, and their ability to climb mountains and climb trees is not much worse than monkeys.

Even the newly joined Bashu people are far more familiar with the mountains than Cao Wei's soldiers.

"I just thought of some happy things." Liu Chan put away his smile, "General Wen Chang, Hanzhong is the gateway to Yizhou, and it must not be lost. In order to prevent Cao Wei's plan to attack the west, the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong must not move lightly."

Although it is very unlikely that Boss Cao will go all out to attack Liu this time, as long as it is not zero, Liu Chan will not dare to bet.

Boss Cao can afford to lose, losing Wancheng, Chibi, Hanzhong, and the Seventh Army... Even if his continued expansion is delayed, he can still make a quick comeback.

This is the advantage of having a large land and a large population. Basically, when fighting a war, it is a resource and a population.

I can win many times on my side, but as long as I lose once, it is possible to completely ruin the future.

Wei Yan said anxiously: "But the three eastern counties must not be lost..."

"The orphan led the Red Star Army to rescue the three counties." Liu Chan interrupted Wei Yan with one sentence, making him fall into silence for a while.

"..." Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, but immediately persuaded, "The Shen family and Meng Da, why bother the prince to go in person? Please also ask the prince to guard Hanzhong, and when Yan puts down the rebellion, the three of them will be bound in front of the prince."

Liu Chan shook his head and said, "That's not right. The defense of Hanzhong was built by General Wen Chang. I don't know the details. If the military plane is delayed, everything will be over."

"This..." Wei Yan had to admit that Liu Chan was right.

"Don't worry, the general. Although the Shen family is powerful in the three counties, the powerful private soldiers who are closed to the small land, even if they are well prepared, are they the opponents of the Lone Red Star Army?" Liu Chan comforted with a smile, "If Cao Jun doesn't come, he will pay back." That’s all, if you come? Hmph, I’ll make him come and go.”

It's not that Liu Chan underestimates the enemy, the general is the bone of the soldier, and the king is the soul of the general.

As the crown prince himself, if he grows other people's ambitions and destroys his prestige in front of the battle, he will lose [-]% of his momentum before the battle.

Wei Yan has also heard about Liu Chan's record in Jingzhou. Wei Yan only emerged after the Hanzhong War, but he still knows Guan Yu very well after following Liu Bei for many years.

That's not a person who would try to please the monarch by exaggerating Liu Chan's achievements.

Seeing that Liu Chan was so sure, Wei Yan nodded and said: "That's good...it's just the prince, if you are not strong enough, you must send someone to inform Yu Yan, and Yan will be an elite to help the prince!"

Liu Chan smiled and said: "Okay, general, just wait for it with peace of mind."

Although Ma Chao's official position is higher than that of Wei Yan, he is very aware of the difference between himself and Wei Yan in Liu Bei's heart.

In the past, he never said much about such major strategic matters, but this time he rarely spoke.

"I would like to go with the prince and help the prince."

Wei Yan looked at Ma Chao in surprise.

This person is even more aloof and arrogant than himself, usually he is reticent, what happened today?
Ma Chao, who has reached the age of forty, is rekindled after the ups and downs. He wants to see with his own eyes whether the young man who caused the crime is a person worthy of trust.

If so, he, Ma Chao, also wants to change his way of life in the future, "wait to start over, clean up the old mountains and rivers", for this ambition and pride, so what if he walks through the water and fire with him again?

If it weren't for...he now has nothing and a dead life, and he has nothing to lose.

Today's youngest son, Ma Cheng, is taken care of by his younger brother Ma Dai, which is not enough to make the Ma family die.

Wei Yan frowned and said, "General Ma still needs to guard Yangping..."

"I don't lead the army, I go alone with the prince. Yangping Xiongguan, I have led troops from my younger brother Ma Dai to garrison. Even if Cao Jun sends tens of thousands of elite soldiers to attack the pass, what can I do?"

Liu Chan and Ma Chao looked at each other for a moment, and then the corners of their mouths slightly raised: "Okay, now with the help of the general, it is like adding [-] troops. The general will go with Gu to suppress the rebellion and destroy the enemy!"

If you want to see it, just follow along to see it for real.

When Ma Chao heard this, there seemed to be a gleam of light in his usually indifferent eyes, and he slowly clasped his fists together: "Minister, take orders!"

[Ma Chao favorability +3] (43)

The plan has been decided, Wei Yan immediately sent people to transfer the boats and boats.

Inside Hanzhong, the transportation of materials between the east and the west also depends on water transportation, and ships are ready-made.

Although the Mian River can also be accommodated by large boats, the two tributaries of "Jushui" and "Zhushui" that lead directly to Shangyong and Fangling have many twists and turns and narrow places, so they are not as convenient as small boats.

"I'll go back and get ready, and I'll be here soon." Ma Chao clasped his fists in salute, turned around and left.

He rode his horse to Yangping pass, and hurried straight to the pass.

"Brother, why are you in a hurry?" Ma Dai wondered when he saw this.

Ma Chao's feet were still striding forward, without turning his head, he said: "The three counties rebelled, and I want to follow the prince to put down the rebellion."

"The prince has such a life?"

"It was not ordered by the prince, but I asked for my order to recommend this matter."

"what?!"

Ma Dai exclaimed, he was not surprised by the rebellion in the three counties, but by his brother Ma Chao's attitude.

He could tell that Ma Chao really wanted to go.

Is the sun coming out from the west?When he fought Hanzhong with the King of Hanzhong, his elder brother was not so active.

He persuaded Ma Chao to bring some personal guards to go, but was also rejected.

At this time, the two had reached the place where Ma Chao kept his armor. The Xiongguan Tianxian in Yangping had been calm since the Hanzhong War. Apart from the daily maintenance, these things had not been used for a long time.

Ma Chao put on his armor, raised his hand and picked up the lance that he had fought with for many years, and then said to Ma Dai, "Take my spear."

Then, without stopping, he walked away vigorously.

Ma Dai hastily opened a large box, inside which were all Ma Chao's usual armor-piercing throwing guns.

It's called Armor Sundering, but in fact, the heads of these throwing spears are all made of fine iron, and the elongated triangular pyramid design makes it easy for them to break the shield when they are thrown by human power.

He quickly picked up three throwing guns and went after Ma Chao.

When they arrived at Guanxia, ​​Ma Chao was already riding on the horse, with his spear hanging on the side of the horse.

Helping his elder brother to hang the throwing gun on the three sets of special hooks on the other side of the horse, Ma Dai took two steps back and clasped his fists and said: "Brother is going alone, please be more careful."

Ma Chao didn't seem to hear it, he squinted his eyes and stared at the east, wondering what he was thinking.

However, the famous horse "Li Feisha" under his crotch who has been with him for many years seems to have sensed the changes in his master's mood. He changed from his usual lazy look with his head drooping, pacing with his head up and snorting from time to time.

"Keep Yangping Pass well."

"Don't worry, brother." Ma Dai bowed and said solemnly.

Leaving only this sentence, Ma Chao clamped the horse's belly with his legs.

"drive!"

"Hey baby~!" Li Feisha, who had already been restless, let out a long hiss, and then ran with all his strength, splashing a burst of smoke and dust.

Looking at Ma Chao, who seemed to be different from the past, Ma Dai, who was standing there, didn't know what happened, but felt his nose a little sore...
