The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1155 Two-faced Three Swords ([-])

Liu Chanxiang has been abandoned in Chengdu, and has not been able to be promoted for more than ten years. From Liu Bei's era to Liu Chan's dynasty, Liao Li, who was only a small captain of Changshui, sent a letter to Jiangling City To some extent, Miansheng's recruitment order may mean that Liu Chan has agreed to Shi Guangyuan's recommendation to Liao Li at this time.

Liu Chan should have decided to reactivate Liao Li.

But the reason why Liu Chan suddenly changed his mind and suddenly wanted to summon Liao Li, maybe he needed to see Liao Li first, and investigate this cheap-talking guy.Let's see if he continues to talk nonsense like he used to, after all these years and everything he's been through.

Of course, the worst thing about Liao Li was his arrogance and conceit.Gongsun Yuan, who he is going to assist in Liaodong this time, has a very arrogant personality and is also very tyrannical, so don't go against him easily.

If Liao Li still behaved like he used to, not only would he not be able to assist Gongsun Yuan smoothly and advise Gongsun Yuan, but he might even cause a breakdown in the relationship.

Such a person will only have a counterproductive effect at that time, so why does Liu Chan want to use him again?It's fine to continue to give him still in Chengdu.

At the same time, Liu Chan also considered a very important thing at this time.

That is the capricious personality of Gongsun Yuan that Liu Chan has been repeatedly mentioning in his heart.

Gongsun Yuan is notorious in history for his sloppy and ignorant personality.In order to make friends with Gongsun Yuan, Soochow sent two envoys with 1000 people and a large number of gifts to enter Liaodong by sea.

As a result, in order to please Cao Wei, Gongsun Yuan sent troops to take down all the Soochow envoys. Two Soochow envoys were killed and their heads were chopped off and sent to Luoyang.At the same time, of course, all the gifts sent by Soochow fell into Gongsun Yuan's pocket.

Therefore, when Liu Chan considered these factors at this time, he was worried about letting Shi Guangyuan go to Liaodong in person. Once the battle between the Liaodong army and Cao Wei's army was unfavorable, maybe Gongsun Yuan might use Shi Guangyuan's brains. body.

In other words, Gongsun Yuan might show his favor to Cao Wei by beheading Shi Guangyuan and ask Cao Wei's army to retreat.In this case, Shi Guangyuan's life is in danger, and there is absolutely no necessary protection.

Therefore, Shi Guangyuan suddenly recommended a candidate like Liao Li to Liu Chan, and Liu Chan suddenly discovered that this candidate is actually quite suitable.

The first point is that Liao Li was once regarded by Zhuge Liang as a good talent in Chu, who can be called a good talent alongside Pang Tong.No matter how proud this person is, he should have some skills;

The second point is that this person Liu Chan didn't like him very much.If he went to Liaodong and could help Gongsun Yuan keep his territory, it would be the best at that time.If Gongsun Yuan turned against the water temporarily, killed Liao Li and turned to Cao Wei, Liu Chan would not feel sorry.

At the same time, Liao Li is currently in the Shu Han regime and has not made his due contribution, so losing it now will not have a big impact on the authorities.

But Shi Guangyuan is absolutely different.He is Liu Chan's mentor, and he has great influence in terms of his name.At the same time, he is actually the host of the Da Sima Mansion now, holding a part of the real power in his hands.

Once such a person is killed in Liaodong, the scope of the impact will be enormous.

Therefore, considering various factors, Liu Chan feels that he can give Liao Li a chance. If he thinks he can apply, he might as well let him go to Liaodong to fight.

If Liao Li helped Gongsun Yuan keep Liaodong, there would definitely be a reward from the Shu Han side, and he would be indispensable if he was promoted to an official position.If he was killed because of this, then he was sacrificed instead of Shi Guangyuan, and the Shu Han would still treat his death with corresponding favors.

Anyway, judging from these two situations, it seems that it is much better than letting Liao Li stay in Chengdu all the time, aggrieved and hopeless for the rest of his life.

On the Liaodong side, because it is far away from Luoyang City, it was a little later when Cao Wei decided to continue sending troops to Liaodong from Youzhou.

Last time, Guan Qiujian sent troops, although he returned without success in the end, but in any case, the Liaodong Army was exhausted, and Cao Wei's army was finally forced to retreat under very reluctant circumstances.In the end, Liaodong's army was simply unable to pursue the enemy.

Otherwise, in terms of the personal ambition of a person like Gongsun Yuan, it is impossible not to pursue Guan Qiujian's army, and directly enter Youzhou to seize the territory.

Now, the Cao Wei court's decision to send troops again immediately put a huge pressure on Gongsun Yuan, as well as a certain degree of psychological panic. I'm afraid that this time he will really be unable to withstand the attack of Cao Wei's army.

So, as usual, Gongsun Yuan called for his most trusted general, Bei Yan, to discuss countermeasures.

When Bei Yan heard Gongsun Yuan tell the latest information he got, he was also taken aback.Although he doesn't have much talent personally, he is responsible for a large part of the Liaodong Army's command and operations. He even knows much better than Gongsun Yuan about the quality of the Liaodong Army's soldiers, combat effectiveness, and logistics supplies. .

Moreover, the last time Wu Qiujian's army came to attack, it was very obvious that the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong army was obviously inferior to that of Cao Wei's army.The biggest reason why Guanqiu Jian could only withdraw his troops last time was that the weather conditions continued to deteriorate, which caused the logistics supply of Cao Wei's army to break, and the military demand could no longer keep up.

Therefore, in the last battle with Cao Wei's army, the Liaodong Army's victory was quite lucky.

But will this fluke happen again?No one can guarantee it!
Bei Yan was really anxious now, he was actually very loyal to Gongsun Yuan, so he said: "My lord, if Cao Wei continues to send troops to Liaodong, it will be difficult for us to defeat them like last time."

Gongsun Yuan asked, "Why do you have such an idea?"

Bei Yan explained: "Last time, Wu Qiujian suffered a lot. This time he took the role of pioneer, he must be ready to deal with the unexpected situation last time. Facing the preparedness Enemies, the difficulty of defeating them will naturally increase a lot."

Although Gongsun Yuan is extremely headstrong, at least he can listen to what Humble Yan says.

In addition, Gongsun Yuan had no confidence in his heart before, but now that he heard what Bei Yan said, his heart suddenly became even more confident.
