Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 371 The time has come

Facing the excited generals in the room, Liu Chan put down the book in his hand and said cheerfully: "Get up and talk first."

Ding Feng gave a rare slap in the neck: "Please give the prince an order to send out troops!"

"Please give the prince an order!"

The others were still bowing their heads and kneeling on the ground, as if they would not be able to kneel down unless given the order.

Many of these generals regard Liu Chan as the hope to end the troubled times and the hope in their hearts.

For example, if he had a lot of money, Liu Chan would never frown even if he was asked to go to the sword mountain.

But at this time, after listening to the Wei army insulting Liu Chan outside for half a day, he was so angry that he disobeyed Liu Chan for the first time.

"Get up, this is an order." Liu Chan said seriously.

Ding Feng and others glanced at each other, reluctantly, but still stood up.

The expressions on the faces of these rough and powerful men were full of grievances, like the angry little daughter-in-law.

Liu Chan, who had unlocked the new expressions of his subordinates, wanted to laugh a little, but if he laughed out loud at this time, he would probably break their hearts, so he had to calm down his expression first!

Prince Liu's face suddenly showed a part of emotion, a part of anger, a part of forbearance...and a part of smile that he tried his best to hide.

"Gu, don't you have anger in your heart?"

Liu Chan's words completely ignited their emotions again.

The Lord is worried about the labor of his ministers, and the Lord humiliates his ministers to death.

Although these men, who may have grown up in the rough or at a young age, have never heard this sentence, their feelings are similar.

However, just as they were about to ask for war again, Liu Chan continued: "However, the Northern Expedition is related to the survival of the Han Dynasty, the life and death of soldiers, and the fate of thousands of people. How can we declare a war based on the whim of the moment?

"The Lord must not be angry and raise an army, and the general must not be angry and lead to war. You have to wait a little longer. When the time comes, I will personally lead you and others into battle to kill the enemy. Go down first."

What he said was true, but not entirely true.

In fact, Liu Chan knew in his heart that if he really wanted to explain, there was no need to explain these big principles that the old man couldn't understand.

Just tell them you're waiting for "a surprise attack."

But in that case, the effect of inspiring generals will be somewhat compromised.

"There should still be room, and I can press it again..."

The smaller the space is compressed, the greater the pressure, and the greater the power of the explosion.

This battle was of great importance. Liu Chan, who was snickering secretly, wanted to fully stimulate the fighting spirit in these warriors and exert their extraordinary fighting power. The best emotion to use was "anger".

The generals, who were confused by all the logic, had only one concept in their minds at this time - there was a reason for the prince not to send troops, and we couldn't understand it.

In this way, if they continue to ask for orders, it will cause trouble, and they have no choice but to retreat.

However, the frustration and anger in their hearts not only did not resolve, but because Liu Chan had to "bear the humiliation and bear the burden", they, as subordinates, felt even more shameless, and naturally became more angry.

After the construction of the fortifications was completed, Liu Chan, who was not worried about Zhang He's attack, continued to live leisurely.

Seeing Zhang He in the distance outside the city also starting to set up camp and placing antlers, he was still not worried. Not only was he not worried, he seemed to be a little happy to see it happen.

With the mentality of having fun, he often teased Wei Jun's project progress with the people around him. It turned out that these elite cavalry had never done such hard work in ordinary times, and the business was unfamiliar and tight.

The generals under his command didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the prince, so they could only endure the yells and challenges of the Wei troops who were sent in twos and threes every day, and endured the anger that was about to burst out in their hearts.

This torture will obviously continue for a while...

Zhang He came here to attack from a long distance, but strangely fell into a confrontation with Liu Chan.

But Lao Liu, who was besieging Qishan Fort, could no longer hold back his restless heart.

"Kong Ming, if we can't defend the Qishan Fort, do you have any good strategies?" Liu Bei walked back and forth in the Chinese army's tent and asked Zhuge Liang, who was shaking his feather fan. I thought that many places in the counties of Longyou would surrender. Seeing the strength of the Han army in front of Qishan Fort, they would naturally not be able to withstand the pressure and offered to surrender like Xi County.

Unexpectedly, the guard Gao Gang actually persisted for more than a month.

There are not many defenders on Qishan Fort, but there is plenty of food and grass. How long will this last?

Old Liu is not impatient and likes to be aggressive... Especially when leading a large army of more than 10,000 people to fight, he focuses on stability.

On the contrary, if they had faced off against Cao Jun in Hanzhong and had not taken the initiative to seek change and move their troops to Dingjun Mountain, Lao Liu could have fought with Yuanzi until the sea was dry and the rocks were dry, until they ran out of food and grass...

Therefore, when Zhuge Liang heard Liu Bei take the initiative to ask for advice, he seemed to have the idea of ​​​​seeking change, but he seemed very happy: "Haha, my lord, there have been countless wars, why is it that it has only been more than a month, and he seems to be a little out of breath?"

After twirling his goatee and studying Liu Bei's expression, Zhuge Liang smiled again and said, "Is it because the prince is worried and uneasy leading the troops alone, so he is eager to defeat the enemy?"

Old Liu pointed at Zhuge Liang and said angrily: "I sincerely ask for advice, why does Kong Ming make fun of me?"

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Lao Liu getting a little angry when his thoughts were exposed.

It’s even more interesting to remember how worried and sullen he often was when he complained to himself about his son’s incompetence in his early years.

But enough is enough. If you really make this person anxious and order a storm on Qishan Fort, it will be a bad thing...

Zhuge Liang stopped laughing, cupped his hands and said: "Our army's food road is rugged and long, and it consumes a lot of money. Your Majesty wants to change, and there is nothing wrong with seeking victory through change."

Liu Bei's face, darkened by Zhuge Liang's smile, finally looked better: "Oh? How about attacking Qishan Fort?"

Zhuge Liang waved his hand: "Qishan Fort is built on the mountain. Our army cannot move away. It is inconvenient to set up equipment. Attacking by force will only increase casualties. It is not a good strategy."

Liu Bei's face turned dark again: "So what?"

Seeing that Old Liu's anger was rising, Zhuge Liang hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, please relax. I have found out that Shanggui Guohuai's army has left the city, and they should go to attack Ji County. Just wait..."

"Report——" As the two of them were talking, lightly-armed soldiers entered the tent.

This man was wearing shorts and straw sandals, wearing rattan armor, a short sword, and a long bow on his back. It looked like he was from the newly established flying army drawn from various ministries in Nanzhong.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, we were ordered to search the nearby mountains and forests, and have captured five enemy spies. The rest have been shot dead on the spot. Your Majesty, please come out with the Prime Minister to check!"

Most of the grassroots officers of the Fei Army came from Han Chinese surnames in South China.

This is not a preference for one or another, but a language issue. Most of the bilinguals in Nanzhong are Han Chinese.

There is nothing that can be done about this for the time being. As a general, you cannot understand the language and the military orders. It will be fun if you get the wrong idea again.

After hearing this, the two walked out of the tent and saw five Wei soldiers kneeling on the ground tied in a bunch, with several heads next to them.

Strictly speaking, Guo Huai's plan has no fatal problems.

But plans are executed by people, and reality often does not always follow the plan in the mind.

Even if the soldiers that Guo Shijun gathered from Longyou were the elite, how could they be the opponents of the flying army who had been struggling for a living in the mountains of Nanzhong since childhood?

Both sides sent out spies to follow, but Guo Shijun's spies had already been exposed not long after leaving the city and entering the mountains, and became prey in the eyes of others...

Zhuge Liang asked: "Can anyone escape?"

"Prime Minister, don't worry, no one will escape."

Zhuge Liang nodded, cupped his hands towards Liu Bei and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the time has come. Guo Huai has become a fish in the net. Please send troops immediately to capture Shanggui."
