Chapter 313: Point the general to send troops
When Lao Liu heard that his son wanted to lead his own troops to guard the street pavilion, he was stunned: "Is this...is it so necessary?"

Fazheng also said: "There are many stable generals in the court, so why would the prince put himself in danger?"

"Yes, if that street pavilion is so important, I can guard it myself." Zhang Fei patted his chest and said, "They are just Cao Wei's cavalry. I was not afraid of them in Dangyang back then, let alone guarding that street pavilion."

"I am also the winner." Wu Yi also said, "There is a city in Lueyang, how difficult is it to defend it?"

Jieting belongs to the Lueyang area. The reason why this place is important is because it is the place where the four Long Roads converge to the south.

If an army is pinned here, although it cannot really stop the enemy army, if the enemy army ignores the defenders and goes south, the grain road will be constantly harassed, and transporting grain is equivalent to transporting food to the street pavilion defenders.

If the troops are divided, if there are more besieging troops, the support troops going south will not be enough; if there are few besieging troops, they may be eaten by the defenders in the city, both inside and outside.

Unless the enemy's strength is several times that of the Han army, they can still only defeat this place and let the army pass through.

Lueyang is to Cao Wei's reinforcements just like Qishan Fort is to the Han army's troops.

If we can't defeat it, the food route will not be guaranteed.

As for Shoujieting, that is, in the Lueyang area, for the Han army who wanted to fight on three fronts, it was much more cost-effective to block all four Long Roads than with soldiers.

Lueyang City had a glorious record in those days. The Great Magician... Well, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu's subordinate She Zeng led 2000 men to defend this place and withstood the attack of tens of thousands of troops from Wei Xiao.

From spring to autumn, in the end, Wei Xiao still had nothing to do against Lueyang.

Therefore, in the eyes of Wu Yi and even most Han generals, this was simply a flying military achievement!
Other generals also offered words of advice.

"Yes, Prince, you can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife. Even though Yan is not talented, he can still accomplish this!" Even Li Yan started to ask for a fight.

Deng Zhi also said: "I know the art of war well and have led troops to suppress bandits and kill thieves. I can take on this responsibility."

"I heard that Ma Su, the prefect of Zang'an..."

"Slow down!" Liu Chan quickly shouted to stop.

Good guy, he glanced for a long time and couldn't see who mentioned the name "Ma Su".

How many times did Liu Chan wake up from his dreams at midnight when he was frightened awake by the words "Jie Ting Ma Su"!

It was so easy to throw him away to Nanzhong. It didn't waste talents, gave him the opportunity to train at the grassroots level, and didn't cause any major problems. Now, there are still people mentioning him? !

Although he was indeed able to fight the battle of Zangda, Liu Chan would never use him to guard the street pavilion again... Never!
He first turned to Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "The public guarding the street pavilion is really making a fuss out of a molehill. I thought I could mobilize the troops from Gong Langzhong to attack key points from Hanzhong."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei curled his lips and said: "Guanzhong is just a feint attack, what's the point..."

Zhuge Liang also felt that Liu Chan's arrangement was quite reasonable. If the feint attack did not send some well-known generals, how could it achieve the purpose of containing the enemy?

So he smiled at Zhang Fei and said: "Third General, as the saying goes, there is no constant force. If the enemy abandons the pass and rescues Longyou, then the feint attack can also become the main attack, and the main attack can also become a feint attack. Is there any certainty?"

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said warily: "Prime Minister, are you trying to trick me again?"

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and smiled: "In Yide's heart, Liang is an untrustworthy person."

"It's all because the Prime Minister likes to lie to me, saying that Langzhong can be supported from the southeast, northwest and northwest. Since I guarded Langzhong, except for the battle in Jingzhou, I haven't moved my butt!"

Old Liu looked at Zhang Fei and couldn't help but said: "If you follow your idea, wouldn't I be surrounded on all sides?"

Zhang Fei scratched his head, smiled and said nothing, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

"If we really attack Guanzhong, it will be the first achievement of this Northern Expedition." Liu Chan said deliberately, "I want to go, but unfortunately I am still young. How can I be as famous as General Wei when he broke the bridge over the water in Dangyang?" ?”

Zhang Fei seemed to be a little moved. When Old Liu saw it, he said, "Yide, you will lead the troops to attack the key!"

"Yes." Zhang Fei cupped his fists and accepted the order.

"We can order Zilong to lead his army to go with him and divide the troops into two groups from Hanzhong." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "The two groups are mutually beneficial to each other. Let's first let Zhang He and Guo Huai guess which of the two is the suspect."

Old Liu nodded happily: "Okay, let's follow the Prime Minister's plan." Fazheng cupped his hands and said: "I can go with the army and make suggestions for the three generals and Zilong to avoid any mistakes."

"That's very good. I will feel at ease if you have your Majesty with me." Old Liu agreed immediately, and then said with a smile, "Then I will personally lead the expedition and lead the troops to the west with the prince. You and I, father and son, will defeat Cao's thieves together!"

Liu Chan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. You haven't forgotten to ask for the imperial chariot to conquer in person!You are 60 this year!

But he also knew that Liu Bei at this time would never give up his personal expedition under any circumstances.

This is his first full-scale counterattack against Cao Wei... maybe it will also be the last time he personally leads the army.

Zhuge Liang obviously understood this, and said with a smile: "In that case, I should also go with your majesty and the prince to make up for it."

"Very good, very good." Old Liu nodded with a smile, but his face immediately became stiff.

He had originally planned to leave the prime minister in charge, and he had always felt at ease leaving the rear to Zhuge Liang.

Liu Chan was also stunned. Old Liu and his father-in-law were gone. Prime Minister Zhuge and Fazheng were also gone. Who would guard the house?

"Uh... Prime Minister Ruo will go with you, but who will be left to guard Yizhou?" Lao Liu asked.

Zhuge Liang and Fazheng looked at each other, cupped their hands and said: "Although King Han is young, he has Queen Kuangzheng above him, Liu Ba to assist him inside, and Wu Yi to guard outside. He will take over for a while, so there is nothing to worry about."

Liu Chan and Lao Liu frowned almost at the same time. This was against the rules.

Moreover... this arrangement is not as safe as the Prime Minister said. With Prime Minister Zhuge's usual caution and meticulousness, it is obvious that such an arrangement should not be made.

Even if it is arranged in this way, it should not be as "foolproof" as it is now.

For people like Uncle Zhuge, who is eccentric with details, and people with Fazheng's IQ to make such an arrangement that sounds unreliable, there is only one possibility - they did it on purpose.

As for why they did this deliberately, Liu Chan, who had already understood in his heart, gradually relaxed his brows.

"Is this... such an arrangement..." Lao Liu obviously still had doubts. After all, Yizhou was its foundation and there must be no loss.

"Father." Liu Chan cupped his hands at this moment and said, "Although Gongshou is young, he has his mother and queen to correct him, and he has ministers to assist him, so it will be fine if he stays in Yizhou for the time being.

"Besides, Cao Wei and Soochow have already started a war and have no time to look west. Father, there is no need to worry."

When Old Liu saw his son saying the same thing, he also figured out that maybe the Prime Minister and Fazheng had other intentions, but it was just not convenient to say it on such an occasion.

So he nodded and said: "Okay then... the matter of staying in Yizhou will be as per the Prime Minister's words. Yi De!"

"Brother!" Zhang Fei stood up and clasped his fists, his eyes lit up.

Old Liu smiled boldly: "Go back to Langzhong, order all the soldiers, and follow me to move to Hanzhong!"

"Yes!"

"Zi Long!"

"The end is here!"

"Lead our troops and follow Yide to Langzhong."

"As ordered!"

Old Liu then looked at Liu Chan: "My son also went to dress up and say goodbye, and then led the Red Star Army to send troops with me!"

Liu Chan clasped his fists and said loudly: "My son, take your orders!"

After saying that, Old Liu stood up and waved his hand: "Send the order for the army to get ready. I want to lead the army to fight against the thieves and rebels!"
