The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 383 Before the Great War
"Pity……"

Looking at the map of Sichuan and Sichuan presented in front of him, Wei Tao sighed secretly.

This map of Sichuan and Shu was drawn with the help of the major families in Shu, and secretly drawn by the channels sent by the Mi family.

It would be great if we could get the detailed topographic map in Zhang Song's hand, but Wei Tao also knew that it was impossible.

As long as Liu Bei still treats him very generously for a day, it is impossible for Zhang Song to backlash against his master.

Just looking at the knowledge from the previous life, Zhang Song originally wanted to present the picture to Cao Cao, but because Cao Cao was contemptuous, he gave up.

You must know that this is a major event related to a state in history. It is not only about Zhang Song alone, but also about the entire Sichuan. Temporary loyalty is greater than the interests of Shuzhong.

It is absolutely impossible for such a person to be rebellious when he is valued by others.

"However, I can't take care of so many. The endless battles, although I have the talents to deal with them, are actually depleting the vitality of my Han family. It is better to set the world early, so that the Central Plains can be set in order to attack the north. "

The plan has been decided, and Wei Tao immediately issued an order, preparing to personally conquer Shuzhong.

Although it has been a year at this time, it is still the initial establishment of the dynasty, so although it is the imperial conquest, in fact there are not so many rules, and in the past, the world was defeated by Wei Tao himself, so at this time Wei Tao really Going out in person will naturally not attract anyone to write a letter to dissuade them.

When Wei Tao's army moved, Liu Bei knew about it.

After Wei Tao divided Shuzhong, Liu Bei's counselors had already spoken for Liu Bei. Liu Bei already knew what Wei Tao was about to conquer, so Liu Bei immediately sent troops to respond to Wei Tao's actions.

Originally, Liu Bei was ready to do something, but at this time Zhuge Liang wrote a letter.

"My lord, now that Wei Tao is attacking, it is indeed necessary for the lord to fight. This battle will determine the fate of the puppet dynasty and my hero's fate. It is really a war for the country! I really want the lord to meet him personally! But now in the middle of Shu People's hearts are not stable, if the lord rushes there in a hurry, then the people in Sichuan must think that the lord's strength is for weakening! At that time, I am afraid that people's hearts will really be unstable. So the lord should be slow rather than hasty!"

What Zhuge Liang said, even if Fazheng agreed, Liu Bei had to think carefully.

"What's more, Yangping Pass is dangerous and narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as we send an old and prudent man to go there, we can block Wei Tao. When his vigor is exhausted at Yangping Pass, the main thing is to gather troops in Hanzhong City. Then it can be broken in one fell swoop."

Hearing this strategy, Liu Bei couldn't help secretly agreeing.

"My lord, what Kong Ming said is true."

Hearing that Fazheng also agreed, Liu Bei finally nodded in agreement, but he still asked.

"Since that's the case, I don't know who Kong Ming and Xiao Zhi think can take up this position?"

Zhuge Liang and Fazheng looked at each other, and finally Fazheng nodded slightly, and Zhuge Liang spoke accordingly.

"My lord, I am afraid that the veteran Huang Zhong is the one who can take this position. In addition, Yan Yan can be used as an assistant, and Xu Shu can be sent as a military advisor. In this way, Yangpingguan will be safe and sound!"

Huang Zhong and Yan Yan are both veterans, and they are old-fashioned and steady. Although Xu Shu is a newcomer, he was recommended by Zhuge Liang first, and then showed his talents to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei thought for a while, then nodded at this point. In Liu Bei's view, Huang Zhong and Xu Shu were promoted by himself, while Yan Yan was a veteran of Sichuan and Shu.

Moreover, all three of them are talented, if they can work together to defend Yangping Pass, it will not be a problem.

Once Liu Bei agreed, he immediately ordered his troops to go to Yangping Pass to garrison first.

Huang Zhong is a veteran, he can see many things clearly, after accepting Yangping Pass, he called Yan Yan and Xu Shu, and directly asked for advice.

"I was ordered by my lord to guard this place. I must not lose anything! However, Wei Tao's army is coming. Although Yangping Pass is dangerous, it is not guaranteed that it will not be breached. I wonder if the two of you have a clever plan to guard the pass?"

"Han Sheng, but I can't, I can only guard the pass with all my heart."

Yan Yan and Huang Zhong are both veterans and the relationship between each other is not bad, so the words are very straightforward, and Huang Zhong naturally doesn't mind.

"Old General Huang, Wei Tao has no plan before he arrives. If it's an ambush attack, others are fine. Wei Tao has experienced many battles, and he doesn't know the way in Sichuan, so there is absolutely no reason not to take precautions."

But at this time Xu Shu spoke up. As a new voter to Liu Bei, Xu Shu still had a respect for Huang Zhong and others, so he said it immediately.

"However, the two old generals are both old and strong, and their courage is not inferior to that of the two generals of Guan and Zhang. If this is the case, one of them can be separated and go to the camp outside the pass to form a horn. If they attack one, the other is to send troops to save them."

"This method is good, Han Sheng, you are the main general, you can't move lightly, and let me lead a team to garrison it."

"it is good!"

I have to say that Zhuge Liang's arrangement is indeed somewhat reasonable, at least at this time Yangping Guanzhong is working together and it is extremely difficult to deal with.

Naturally, Wei Tao did not receive any news at this time. After all, even if it was urgently dispatched for [-] miles, the journey would take a lot of time, not to mention that Huang Zhong cut off all internal and external news as soon as he arrived at Yangping Pass.

But at this time, Wei Tao didn't pay much attention to the news of Yangpingguan, but paid attention to the young general in front of him.

This general was recommended by Xun You, who said that he made a lot of achievements when Liu Bei attacked Xiliang, and now that he heard that Wei Tao wanted to attack Liu Bei, he specially recommended him to serve.

Although Xun You still somewhat misses the powerful man in the past, but seeing that the people live and work in peace and contentment under Wei Tao's rule, without suffering from foreigners, he also somewhat accepts the fact in his heart.

So although he was not good at planning ahead, he didn't mean to just ignore it, and recommended talents for Wei Tao.

The reason why this young general was valued by Wei Tao was not only because of Xun You's approval, but also because he was also a famous person in his previous life, Jiang Wei.

That's right, it was Jiang Wei who was originally a general of the Wei State in history, but was later admired by Zhuge Liang for his talents, and finally accepted him as a disciple after several schemes. Jiang Wei, who supported the State of Shu after Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Boyue .

This Jiang Wei is undoubtedly a top talent, Wei Tao naturally wanted to see what his skills are, so he asked him about it after summoning him.

"Bo Yue, now that I want to march into Xichuan, Liu Bei definitely doesn't want my army to invade. He must want Hanzhong City and Yangping Pass to be dangerous. I wonder if you have any ideas to help me?"

"My Majesty, you can win every battle if you know yourself and the enemy. Yangping Pass was originally just a mediocre guard. Since Liu Bei wanted to fight with His Majesty, he would definitely let the guard change defense. And that Yangping Pass was originally just a mediocre general. It's just an ordinary checkpoint, although it is dangerous, it will not try to resist His Majesty here, its purpose is to delay His Majesty's time and waste His Majesty's logistics!"

As soon as Jiang Wei opened his mouth, Wei Tao nodded slightly. Being able to have such insight already shows that his talent is not bad. After thinking about it, Wei Tao didn't hide any more, and said directly.

"Since Boyue mentioned it, I'm speaking bluntly. I ordered someone to imitate the wheelbarrow in Sichuan. With this wheelbarrow, walking on mountain roads is like walking on flat ground! There are already thousands of them, and they can be used for this time. During the war."

The wheelbarrow is Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and horse, and it is also used to transport grain in Sichuan and Shu.

Originally, it would be difficult to imitate if there is no real object comparison, but Wei Tao is a person in two lifetimes, and his knowledge is naturally different. Even though he has never made any unicycle himself in his previous life, let alone a professional craftsman, he still knows roughly by analogy. Some, and then continue to imitate according to the orders, and it is only a matter of time before they want to make them.

"Could it be that the wood of Sichuan and Shu is the horse? If so, our army's chances of winning will be greatly increased!"

Jiang Wei was indeed a hero for a while, when he heard what Wei Tao said, he understood it, and he was overjoyed immediately. It's from the mouth.

"The Yangping Pass guard is a cautious person, so he used the method of luring the enemy?"

"Oh?"

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, but he was a little interested, and then looked at Jiang Wei.

Speaking of it, Wei Tao didn't expect Jiang Wei to come up with any clever tricks, but seeing Jiang Wei's confidence, he felt that he might as well listen.

"If Your Majesty personally lures the enemy, not to mention the dangers involved, the morale of the army will be damaged. Just this matter alone will not respond. Therefore, Your Majesty sent a general to attack the enemy personally. Even if the general stationed at Yangping Pass It is prudent, but it must be Liu Bei's confidant general. If His Majesty personally sticks to him, it is still reasonable. If other people come, he must fight. After the danger of Yangping Pass, the winner will be determined!"

After Jiang Wei said this, he bowed his hands to Wei Tao. Although he was young, he had a great spirit, and he said it sternly.

"It's not bad to lure the opponent out of the pass, but our army is not sure about it. After all, it is backed by Yangping Pass and can retreat into the pass at any time. Therefore, after the opponent leaves the pass, it will be defeated in the first battle, lure the enemy deep, and then the army will retreat Ambush, you can break it in one battle!"

"it is good!"

What the voice said is in line with the main purpose of the military strategist. Looking at this, it can be seen that Jiang Wei is extraordinary. Why doesn't Wei Tao praise him?
"In that case, Boyue, do you dare to go to this place? And to lure out the guard at Yangping Gate? I will let Lu Meng and Lu Xun lead the troops behind, and they will be reinforcements and ambushes. With two prongs, we directly broke the opponent and took Yangping Pass!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I wish to win this pass for my lord!"

Hearing that Wei Tao asked him to lead the army, Jiang Wei was overjoyed immediately, bowed to Wei Tao, and said so.
