Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 398 Add more counterattacks!counterattack! (Second update)
Xichuan almost surrendered in anticipation, but within half a month, before March of the 18th year of Jian'an, the land of Yizhou completely surrendered to Liu Bei with the help of Liu Zhang.

Of course, there are still too many problems here. For example, Gao Ding, the leader of the Yi people in Yueqi County, has become the king and looks like he is ready to rush out at any time, and there are also the mountain bandits in Xichuan.

And the officials in many places are not so clean.

In addition to Liu Zhang's previous hidden dangers in cleaning up the wealthy family, etc., Liu Bei can almost predict how busy his future will be.

But now, he can't take care of these anymore.

"He ordered all the troops, with Pang Xi as the chief general and Deng Zhi and Wu Yi as assistants, to take Cheng Ji, Cheng Yu, Han Ping, Zhang Yi and other generals out of Badi to counterattack Hanzhong.

With General Zhang Ren as the main general, General Wei Yan as the auxiliary, and Deng Zhi, Fu Kuang, Fu Wei and others as generals, we crossed Baishui and sent troops to Hanzhong!
I'm waiting for a counterattack! "

In the Chengdu mansion, Liu Bei drew out the sword from his waist. With his loud shout, the army mobilized again, and at the same time, generals from all sides began to enter the army.

In this battle, Liu Bei used Xu Shu as his military advisor, and the two armies were all led by people from Xichuan. It was not that the Xichuan generals were strong, but that their appearance would prove one thing to Cao Mengde.

That means Liu Bei has broken the situation!

Perhaps Cao Mengde did not expect that Liu Bei, who had always been bullied by him, would change like this. First, he fought with him to the death in Nanyang, and then he swept through Bajun and even Yizhou in just over a month.

The reason why he was able to do this was because of the continuous efforts of Fazheng, Zhang Song and others over the years, and also because of the secret calculations of Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others against the people of Basi.

One took the food and foreign aid, and the other simply showed weakness on purpose, letting Pang Xi fight with him for a long time, and when they relaxed, they fought back brazenly and completely regained the land of Berkshire in one fell swoop.

The cooperation in several battlefields was quite tacit. The combination of Pang Tong, Fazheng and Xu Shu also made them realize what it meant to get twice the result with half the effort.

After doing all this, they finally began to march towards Hanzhong again
This time, in addition to soldiers and generals, they also have a lot of supplies transported from Jingzhou. Wooden cows and flowing horses will reduce most of their losses when walking through the mountains and rivers. The latest serial crossbow can finally break through armor within fifty steps.

Although this is still not the final result, it is enough for Liu Bei and Cao Mengde to officially confront each other in military matters!
After making all these preparations, Liu Bei left the seriously injured Zhang Fei and Chen Dao in Chengdu to recuperate, and asked Tian Yu and Pan Jun to garrison Chengdu to prevent accidents, and then rushed away with his troops and horses.

Showing off his power all the way, he fought repeatedly with Cao's army and never lost.

When Cao Mengde received the battle report, he fell completely silent. He couldn't help but look at Xun You on the side, as if he wanted Xun You to give him a reasonable plan.

However, the only answer to him was Xun You's helpless sigh.

When Xun You learned about the affairs of Nanyang and Yuzhou, he already understood that they could not continue to stay here for any longer.

Later, Guan Yu's appearance made him understand that they must make preparations in advance. This was a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

However, Guan Yu's appearance is indeed very good. He alone has held back less than half of Cao Mengde's troops. Unless he transfers Xiahou Dun from Nanyang now, he will not be able to continue deep into Yizhou.

And obviously, it is not the time for them to fight Liu Bei in Hanzhong, so even if Xun You saw something, he still didn't say anything in the end, and not giving hope is the greatest hope. "Prime Minister, at this time we are alone and have gone deep. We have killed several of Liu Bei's generals and lost less than half of Liu Bei's troops.

Not only that, this battle has seriously injured Chen Dao, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei's two powerful generals, and moved a large number of people in Nanyang. Now we only need to move the mediocre people away."

"Withdraw the troops?" Cao Mengde looked at Xun You in front of him with a slightly unkind expression, "What about Guan Yu?"

"Now that all of Guan Yu's soldiers have been lost, and he himself has been seriously injured, but as he escaped into the mountains, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has lost its usefulness, and continuing to pursue him will probably be a thankless task.

Not only that, the war in Yuzhou was raging, and Zhao Yun was also wandering around Guanzhong, constantly using Guan Yu's name to persuade the bandits entrenched in various places.

Now the hinterland of the Central Plains is full of wolves. Although they are all rogues who are not on the table, if we can't manage and suppress them well, I'm afraid I will have a hard time waiting this year.

Moreover, Jiangdong is now sending troops to Huaisi, and Zang Ba and General Zhang Liao are worried that they will be unable to support themselves.

It's better to leave! "

"Are you just going to leave like this?" Cao Mengde still had a hint of regret in his eyes, "It's just one step away. If we had been able to attack again before, maybe we could have let Liu Bei go."

Before Cao Mengde could finish his harsh words, he couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, he knew deep down in his heart that there was nothing he could do even if time went backwards. Liu Bei was beaten to the point where he lost all his troops, but he still persisted.

If he didn't know that he couldn't put it down quickly, why would he bring his troops back to surround Guan Yu at that time.

Although they killed all the soldiers and horses under Guan Yu, they still failed to kill Guan Yu in the end, which was a pity.

"That's it. That's all!" In the end, Cao Mengde made the right choice, "Since God won't let the truth destroy the big-eared thief, then the truth can't go against heaven.

The order was sent down to move the people of Shangyong and Nanyang, and secretly ordered Cheng Yu to destroy the Han River, destroy the farmland in Nanyang, Shangyong, and Hanzhong, and burn down the cities everywhere.

The people took it away, and they couldn't even think of keeping this city and land! "

After Xun You heard Cao Mengde's words, he opened his mouth slightly. Although he wanted to say something, he still nodded silently when he thought of the word "secret order".

"In this case, we can't let Zhuge Kongming have an easy time. He ambushed and killed General Xia Houyuan in Yongliang. In this case, he completely destroyed several mountain passes such as Xiegu Valley and Ziwu Valley.

In this way, if Zhuge Liang wants to continue to plan for Liu Bei in the land of Yongliang, he may have to rely on his own stragglers. "

Xun You's strategy was equally ruthless. Cao Mengde destroyed the three handover places between the two sides, and Xun You directly cut off Zhuge Liang's return. If Liu Bei wanted to continue to support Zhuge Liang in Yongliang.

The amount of food and baggage consumed will be countless.
