Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 32 Opening up the Han River, Liu Bei at his peak cannot be offended

Nishikawa.

The residence of the military advisor general.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, dressed in plain clothes, sat playing chess, and the sound of moves came and went.

The chess game reached the end, and Liu Bei was slightly better.

"The military advisor is being humble again." Liu Bei made the last move, and the chess game was decided.

"My lord's chess skills are getting better and better. I am ashamed of myself." Zhuge Liang naturally would not admit that he was being modest. The purpose of playing chess with Liu Bei was not to win or lose but to have fun.

Liu Bei stared at the black and white pieces on the chessboard, and his thoughts flew to Jingzhou: "Cao Cao lost in Hanzhong, and the army is stationed in Chang'an. The army has no morale, and the generals have no fighting spirit."

"Yun Chang wrote again. Last year, the people in Hongnong, Nanyang and other counties couldn't bear the corvée, and they raised troops to rebel against Cao Cao."

"Although Hou Yin of Wancheng was defeated by Cao Ren, there were still many soldiers and people who dissatisfied with Cao Cao. The righteous people in Liang Jia, Lu Hun and other places, led by Sun Lang, also received Yunchang's seal and ribbon, and gathered people as soldiers."

"This is a God-given opportunity to send troops."

"Therefore, I ordered Meng Da to go to Zigui to rob the three eastern counties, and I secretly ordered Yunchang to wait for an opportunity to rob Xiangfan."

"With Dongsanjun and Xiangfan in hand, I can head north to Wanluo and west to Qinchuan, and the military advisor's Longzhong strategy can be achieved."

"It's a pity that the troops in Xichuan are exhausted and the people are exhausted, and the Han soldiers and people were forcibly relocated by Cao Cao, making it difficult to recruit volunteers."

"Otherwise, if I send troops to Chang'an to contain Cao Cao, Meng Da and Yunchang can go directly north to Wanluo after capturing Dongsanjun and Xiangfan."

"If this is the case, hegemony will be achieved!"

Liu Bei felt a little regretful.

Although Jingzhou was able to grab a lot of opportunities in this game, it was not perfect.

Xichuan had troops and little food, so it was hopeless to send troops to contain Cao Cao.

Since the Longzhong question, Liu Bei has regarded Zhuge Liang's Longzhong strategy as the core strategy, and even recorded it in a book, and will study it whenever he has free time.

In ten years, Liu Bei knew Long Zhong very well.

Although Fa Zheng provided specific suggestions for the Battle of Hanzhong, the grand strategy for taking Hanzhong was formulated by Liu Bei himself.

This was also the most glorious battle in Liu Bei's military life, and the only time he fought evenly with Cao Cao in a head-on confrontation without relying on allies.

We were fighting Cao Cao who was still at his peak!
  Even Sima Yi once said, "In the past, when Emperor Wu entered Hanzhong again, he was almost defeated."

If Cao Cao hadn't moved away the Han soldiers and civilians, causing Liu Bei to suffer a great loss, in terms of military duel alone, Liu Bei would have defeated Cao Cao.

After all, in this battle, Cao Cao not only lost Hanzhong, but also defeated Xia Houyuan, the general who conquered the west!

The great victory in Hanzhong also gave Liu Bei strong confidence in the follow-up strategy of "crossing Jingyi".

Therefore, after Cao Cao retreated, Liu Bei secretly ordered Meng Da and Guan Yu to carry out military operations to capture Dongsanjun and Xiangfan respectively.

Liu Bei even named this game "Seizing the Heaven Game", which means seizing the time!

The essence of Zhuge Liang's Longzhong strategy is to seize the opportunity for Liu Bei.

Mr. Shui Jing once said that Wolong got his master at the wrong time.

It is believed that even though Zhuge Liang met Liu Bei, the Ming Dynasty's leader, Cao Cao has already seized the time and power of the world, and it is difficult to resist Cao Cao no matter how hard he fights.

But Zhuge Liang can be called the eternal Wuhou. In addition to Zhuge Liang's loyalty, he also has a grand strategy in Longzhong that is as good as a divine calculation.

This is the strategy that can really help Liu Bei achieve hegemony!
  Compared with Jiangdong's strategy of crossing Jingyang, Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair has the most critical core of "heading to Wanluo in the north and Qinchuan in the west."

Luoyang, in the world, is the land of emperors. Only when you win Luoyang can you truly win the right time.

Like Sun Quan, who only wanted to seize Jingyang and Yangzhou and live alone in a corner of the south, he would never get the right time.

Seeing Liu Bei mentioning Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang also thought of Zhuge Qiao who was heading to Jiangling City.

"Calculating the time, it has been nearly ten days since Aqiao entered Jiangling City."

"I don't know if Aqiao has made any achievements in Jiangling City."

Although Zhuge Qiao showed outstanding talent in front of Zhuge Liang, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy after all. While Zhuge Liang had high hopes for Zhuge Qiao, he was also worried about Zhuge Qiao.

"What are the military advisors thinking?" Liu Bei asked when he saw Zhuge Liang was muttering.

Only then did Zhuge Liang come to his senses, bowed his hands and apologized: "I was just thinking about how Sun Quan from Jiangdong would react if Yunchang sent troops to Xiangfan."

When Sun Quan was mentioned, Liu Bei's face suddenly turned gloomy: "Sun Quan's son, as a Han official but not thinking about helping the Han Dynasty, is disloyal; as an ally, but secretly seizing three counties is unjust."

"I hate those unfaithful and unjust scoundrels!"

"If Sun Quan dares to secretly cause harm after Yunchang sends troops to Xiangfan, I will use all the strength of Yizhou to capture this boy alive and kill him personally in front of the ancestral temple!"

Thinking of the past when Sun Quan ordered Lu Meng to secretly seize the three counties of Jingzhou and was forced to sign the Xiangshui Treaty with Sun Quan, Liu Bei felt angry in his heart.

If it weren't for Sun Quan's mischief, Liu Bei asked himself that the battle of Hanzhong wouldn't have been so difficult.

Before the Xiangshui Treaty, Liu Bei actually had the intention of destroying Sun Quan. Fifty thousand elite soldiers from Xichuan had arrived at the Public Security Bureau to fight Sun Quan for a life-or-death showdown.

However, Cao Cao suddenly raised troops in Hanzhong, forcing Liu Bei to make a truce with Sun Quan and divide Jingzhou.

But now, Hanzhong is already in hand. If Sun Quan dares to do evil again, Liu Bei will never be able to make peace with Sun Quan again.

Zhuge Liang felt awe-struck.

In Longzhong's strategy, making good friends with Sun Quan is a key part.

The Cao Cao family has a great cause. Even if Hanzhong is defeated, as long as the northern Kyushu is in hand, it will still be an unshakable behemoth.

But if you want to destroy Sun Quan in the east, you will definitely give Cao Cao an opportunity.

By then, Sun Quan had not yet been defeated, and Cao Cao raised his troops south again, and Liu Bei would be attacked from both sides.

"My lord, please put aside the thunderous wrath for a moment." Zhuge Liang advised him politely: "The terrain in the east of the Yangtze River is complex, and it will be difficult to destroy Sun Quan in a short time. If Cao Cao is given a chance to breathe, he will definitely capture Jingzhou again."

"I think that if we can't capture Wanluo and Guanlong, we can't easily use troops against Sun Quan."

Liu Bei was still angry: "Having said that, Sun Quan has to guard against his childish thoughts. The military advisor ordered Aqiao to enter Jiangling City. Is there any reply now?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Ah Qiao has not been in Jiangling City for a long time, and it is difficult for him to make any achievements."

Liu Bei obviously had a high impression of Zhuge Qiao, and he praised him: "Ah Qiao is humble on the outside and showy on the inside, just like a scholar reborn."

"I predict that this son will definitely become famous in Jingzhou in the future, and he will be called the crown of Nanzhou scholars like a scholar."

"The military commander's nickname is Fulong, Shi Yuan's nickname is Feng Chu, and Aqiao is the military commander's heir. He also looks like Shi Yuan, so he can be called Xiao Long."

Thinking of Pang Tong who died young, Liu Bei felt a little more regretful.

If Pang Tong hadn't died early, Liu Bei wouldn't have had to rush Zhuge Liang to Xichuan.

If Zhuge Liang was in Jingzhou, how could he fear that Sun Quan would secretly cause harm?
