Soldiers come to the world

Since Zhuge Liang went to Jingzhou as an envoy, capturing Bashu has become Liu Bei's dream goal. He couldn't bear the remoteness and sparse population of Jingnan, let alone accept the reality that he was gradually marginalized.

He used to be Uncle Liu Huang who was as famous as Cao Cao, and everyone in the world didn't know him, but his reputation gradually faded over the years, and he never had the chance to become a protagonist in the Central Plains.

On the contrary, Liu Jing rose strongly. After the Chibi War, his reputation became even more famous all over the world. From a white-haired old man to a three-year-old boy, no one knew Mr. Jing of Jingzhou.

Many nobles in the Central Plains even regarded Liu Jing as the hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty, while Liu Bei was like an old rooster, who could only squat in the chicken coop and reminisce about the scenery of the past.

What made Liu Bei even more unbearable was that he knew that Liu Jing was a fake royal family member and that Liu Jing was not Liu Biao's nephew, but when he told people about it, no one believed him anymore, and even expressed sympathy. Looking at him with eyes, as if he was slandering Liu Jing out of jealousy.

Liu Bei finally understood a truth, the truth of Liu Jing's identity is not important, what is important is his strength, even if he is fake, but people in the world would rather take him as real, even Cao Cao would not use Liu Jing again. Jing's identity is making a fuss.

Although Liu Bei admits that Liu Jing has far surpassed himself, he is not reconciled. He wants to regain his own glory and fame, and he wants to rise again, and he has only one chance, to seize Bashu and establish the Shuhan regime.

As early as before the Chibi War, Liu Bei adopted Zhuge Liang's strategy, seized Jianping County, built Wucheng, befriended Liu Zhang, and prepared for the capture of Bashu, but Liu Bei never thought that Liu Jing's promise to exchange Bashu for Zhao Yun turned out to be a scam.

Just when he was about to meet and form an alliance with Liu Zhang, Liu Jing accidentally captured Zigui and cut off his connection with Wucheng. Not only that, Sima Yi's activities in Chengdu caused Zhang Song to be killed, and Liu Zhang canceled his trust in him , Liu Bei's strategy of seizing Bashu suffered a serious setback. [

Just when Liu Bei was in despair and was about to accept the post of Jiaozhou Shepherd conferred by Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, who was even more unwilling, planned the strategy of "building plank roads in the open and crossing Chencang secretly", and took back Zigui City in one fell swoop, making Liu Bei in the south of the Yangtze River. In desperation, I saw a glimmer of hope.

At this time, Liu Bei was mobilizing large-scale troops in Gong'an County, preparing to transfer the troops to Wucheng to launch an attack on Bashu.

On the city wall, Liu Bei was wearing armor and a helmet, with his hand on the hilt of his sword, looking extraordinarily high-spirited. Looking at the neatly lined up army, he felt a kind of ambition that had disappeared for many years.

"Uncle Huang!" A personal guard rushed to report: "The military adviser asked Uncle Huang to discuss it."

Liu Bei nodded, and quickly walked down the city.

In the room, Zhuge Liang was standing in front of a map, contemplating. They didn’t have a sand table like Jingzhou’s. It would take a lot of money to make such a sand table. But it doesn't have that kind of strength, at least it can't be produced in the short term.

However, Zhuge Liang made a beautiful move. He took advantage of the opportunity of Liu Jing to go to Jiangdong to get married. Bai Jingrui crossed the Yangtze River at night in Yidu County, took a detour to Zigui County, successfully attacked Ping'an Fort, and drove men and women pretending to be refugees to deceive Zigui City.

In this series of victories, Zhuge Liang seized the loopholes in the Jingzhou army's defense against the outside and did not defend the inside. Bashu, then they will lose everything.

Zhuge Liang paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to seize Bashu. In his original plan, he used Liu Zhang's fear of Liu Jing to form an alliance in Badong County. Liu Zhang had already agreed to come to Badong County to meet Liu Bei and form an alliance. , At that time, they can catch Liu Zhang, and under Zhang Song's internal response, they can capture Bashu without bloodshed.

But the plan is not as good as changing. Liu Jing sent Sima Yi into Shu. With the assistance of the Dongzhou faction, Liu Zhang turned against him and Zhang Song was killed, which completely destroyed his plan. Zhuge Liang knew that his plan to seize Bashu without bloodshed fell through. If If you want to seize Bashu again, it will inevitably be a bloody battle.

"Is there anything the military adviser wants from me?" Liu Bei walked into the room quickly, interrupting Zhuge Liang's train of thought.

Zhuge Liangliang nodded, "I just got information about Wucheng. Liu Zhang ordered Yan Yan, the prefect of Bajun, to lead 2 troops to Badong County to assist Pang Xi in defending Wucheng. In this way, the strength of Badong County will increase to [-]. , the situation is worrying."

Liu Bei's face suddenly became serious. The news was beyond his expectation. Originally they knew that Badong County had 1 troops, but they had 2 troops in Wucheng. If they added another [-] troops, With [-] troops, Badong County can be taken and then marched into Badong County, but if the strength of Badong County is [-], the situation will suddenly become severe.

"Then what should we do?" Liu Bei asked worriedly.

"Actually, I'm not worried about the strength of Badong County. We can take advantage of the conflict between the Dongzhou faction and the Bashu native faction to defeat Pang Xi and Yan Yan. What I'm really worried about is Jingzhou. Even if Liu Jing is not there, Jia Xu and Xu Shu Others can also make decisions collectively, and if I guessed correctly, Jingzhou already has a countermeasure.”[

Liu Bei hurriedly asked: "What countermeasures do the military advisers think they will take?"

Zhuge Liang tapped Zigui County on the map, "They will definitely take back Zigui County at all costs."

"Indeed!"

Liu Bei nodded, "Then I will immediately lead the army to support Zigui."

Seeing that Zhuge Liang didn't make a statement, he couldn't help asking strangely: "Is it wrong?"

Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time and said: "It will take at least four days from Gong'an County to Zigui County. I am afraid that the time will be too late, and it only takes two days from Wucheng to Zigui. It is better to use two prongs. On the one hand, we support Zigui from the police, and on the other hand, Order Wucheng to increase troops to Zigui, as long as the strength of Zigui increases to 6000, it will be very difficult for Jingzhou to regain Zigui."

Liu Bei made a decisive decision: "Then I will immediately send a pigeon letter ordering Feng'er to increase troops and return to Zigui."

In fact, Zhuge Liang is still a little worried, because it takes two days for Gexin to reach Wucheng, so even if Liu Feng immediately increases his troops to Zigui, it will take four days, and whether Zigui County can hold on for three days, success or failure depends on it. .

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang said again: "In order to relieve the pressure on the Zigui garrison, I suggest that we use the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao to attack Jiangling and hold back Jingzhou's troops."

Liu Bei was a little hesitant about this plan. They secretly built fifty ferries. If they crossed the river and attacked Jiangling, the fifty ferries would be lost, and the army going north would not be able to return. This would be a huge loss. He pondered for a long while without speaking.

Zhuge Liang understood Liu Bei's worries, and persuaded him: "We can only bet once. The bet is that all the troops in Nanjun will be transferred to attack Zigui, and Jiangling's troops are not many. If we can take Jiangling, we can take the opportunity to recover Nanjun, and at the same time, we can take the entire Nanjun. With ten thousand Jingzhou troops captured, our unfavorable situation will be completely changed, and Liu Jing is not in Jingzhou, Jia Xu and others cannot deploy troops on a large scale, this is our golden opportunity."

Although Liu Bei also understood that this was their opportunity, but he was really afraid of Liu Jing, so what if he won Nanjun?Once Liu Jing returns and leads the army to kill them, they will also be wiped out. It is meaningless to take Nanjun, and they are afraid that they will lose their chance to withdraw to Jiaozhou.

In any case, Liu Bei will no longer compete with Liu Jing for Jingzhou. He pondered for a long time, and finally sighed: "Military division, give up attacking Jiangling!"

Zhuge Liang was about to persuade him again, but Liu Bei shook his head firmly, "I have made up my mind, the military master should stop talking."

Zhuge Liang sighed secretly. At the critical moment, Liu Bei lost his courage and dared not take back Nanjun. After all, Liu Bei lost the confidence to compete with Liu Jing for Jingzhou. With his mentality, how could he compete with Liu Jing for Bashu?

Zhuge Liang was also very disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He pondered for a while and said: "If the emperor doesn't want to attack Jiangling, the next best thing is to cross the river from Yidu County and attack Xiling. County, I thought that only [-] troops would be enough to capture Xiling County, cut off the Jingzhou army’s rear, and the Jingzhou army attacking Zigui would inevitably be chaotic, which bought us time.”

Liu Bei could accept this plan, and he happily said: "Just follow the advice of the military advisor!"

In fact, Liu Bei did not adopt Zhuge Liang's strategy of capturing Jiangling, which would be his biggest strategic mistake. In order to win the trust of Liu Zhang, Jingzhou only stationed [-] troops in Nanjun.

In order to recapture Zigui County, Li Yan has sent most of his troops to participate in the war in order to recapture Zigui County. At this time, the Jingzhou Army guarding Jiangling City has only 1000 people. Li Yan's army will inevitably be wiped out, and the whole situation will change drastically.

But Liu Bei was afraid of Liu Jing's counterattack, and he didn't dare to take Nanjun again. He only wanted to enter Bashu, so he lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In Bian County, just north of Nanjun, Sima Yi was leading an army of [-] to march southward at a rapid pace. At this time, it began to rain lightly. In late autumn, it was extremely cold, and the road was muddy, making the march very difficult.

But Sima Yi was very worried about the situation in Nanjun. Although they had seen the city wall of Bianxian County, he didn't want the soldiers to rest, but ordered to continue to speed up southward. Military division, there are three forked roads ahead, one road is to Yidu County, one road is to Jiangling, and the other road is to Jiangxia, General Wu asked the military division which way to take."

Sima Yi said without hesitation: "Go to Jiangling!"

He knew very well that Jiangling's safety was more critical than Zigui's at this time.
