Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 808
On December [-]th, Sha Zan rushed to Xiang County with Sha Meng.Sha Meng's legs and feet are still weak, and he suffered a lot on the road. Healing his injuries is a minor matter, but avoiding the limelight is a major matter. How could Sha Zan keep him in Jingzhou.

Zhou Cang felt extremely kind when he saw Sha Zan, nothing else, just because Sha Zan had short hair similar to a flat head, Zhou Cang had always wanted to do this, but was worried that it would be too different, not to mention that cutting hair was considered treasonous, Cao Cao would not Just cut off the head?

Sha Zan reported the whole story of the Battle of Xiangyang, and Kuai's family was exterminated and classified as manslaughter.Hearing this, Deng Ai's blood was spurting, and he shouted that the flying ladder is a sharp weapon for attacking cities and lands, while Dian Man was displeased.Sha Zan finally said: "Peacemaker thinks that although the weapon is useful, it should not be relied on too much, it can only be used as a supplement."

Zhou Cang nodded frequently: "I have read the proposal to add a weapon department to the martial arts academy, and told Uncle Zhi not to neglect the training because of weapons. It's hard for you to find out so soon." Zhou Cang didn't intend to ask Kuai at all. He didn't think that Zhou Xin could detect the device for auxiliary purposes.

"The battle in Jingzhou is over. What is Changsheng's opinion on the next step?" Zhou Cang looked at Sha Zan with a smile.

"The prime minister is stationed in Xiang County, so is he ready for a decisive battle?" Sha Zan asked.

"That's what I mean. What does Changsheng think?"

"It's the right time. Now most of the world belongs to the Han. The Han has strong soldiers, horses and horses, abundant food and grass, and high morale. The Wei army is defeated again and again. The loss of soldiers and generals can no longer afford me a thunderbolt."

"Although the Wei army has lost one after another, there are still nearly 20 troops, and there are also famous generals such as Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Sima Yi, and Xia Houshang. How can I defeat them?"

Facing Zhou Cang's continuous questioning, Sha Zan kept his mind steady. "In my opinion, the prime minister's use of troops is false and real, and he often attacks the enemy unprepared. But at this time, the Wei army has shrunk, and it is really difficult to move around. The only way to attack is to attack the enemy with force!"

Deng Ai raised his eyebrows inadvertently, Sha Zan saw it, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued: "I originally planned to send troops from Zigui to Shangyong, so that even Tuhanzhong could also attack Sanqin, and then the prime minister will send another general Attack Yongliang by detour from the north, if Cao Pi doesn't save him, he will be surrounded by me; if he rescues him, he will need to mobilize troops from Si, Yan, and Yu prefectures, and I can take the opportunity to attack him."

Deng Ai raised his eyebrows again, it turned out that Sha Zan had thought of it. "what about now?"

"I thought Meng Da could be used, but unfortunately this person is capricious..."

"Just because of Mengda?"

Sha Zan shook his head: "I can think so. I think General Pengfei also thinks this way, and others will think so too. It's nothing to worry about if Cao Pi can think this way. He has no way out, but Zhuge Liang in Hanzhong will definitely take countermeasures!"

Deng Ai opened his mouth and looked at Zhou Cang.It's not that Deng Ai didn't think about this problem, but he thought that after Zhuge Liang's defeat at Jieting, Yizhou would not be able to launch another attack in such a short period of time, and he thought Zhou Cang thought so too.

Sha Zan continued: "Zhuge Liang knew that he couldn't defend Yizhou, so he went out of Qishan to map Yongliang and occupied Guanzhong to compete with me. Therefore, knowing that Cao Pi was defeated in Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang will definitely seize the opportunity in the Northern Expedition again. Perhaps At this time, he has dispatched troops!"

"Changsheng thinks that Zhuge Liang can win this Northern Expedition?" Deng Ai was a little anxious. Hearing Sha Zan's analysis, it seemed that Zhuge Liang had a good reason, or had no choice but to seize Guanzhong, otherwise he would just sit and wait for death.

"The outcome is uncertain." Sha Zan shook his head. "However, I thought that if I sent troops at this time, Zhuge Liang would definitely have a truce with Cao Zhen, and even form an alliance with Cao Zhen!"

Obviously, Zhuge Liang wanted Chang'an very much, but before he got Chang'an, he needed Cao Zhen to act as a shield for himself, and he would not let the big man seize Chang'an.Therefore, Sha Zan's judgment is very reasonable. In order to prevent Chang'an from falling into Zhou Cang's hands, Zhuge Liang might join forces with Cao Zhen.

Zhou Cang pondered for a while: "Then Changsheng thinks it is not appropriate to attack Yongliang at this time, but to sit and watch Zhuge Liang and Cao Zhen confront each other?"

"Exactly, Zhuge Liang predicted that Cao Pi was worried about the prime minister sending troops so he would not dare to increase troops for Cao Zhen. In this way, the outcome of the confrontation between Shu and Wei was [-]-[-]."

Don't take Guanzhong?Zhou Cang was taken aback. "What is the explanation for what Changsheng said about the thunder strike?"

Sha Zan chuckled: "Zhuge Liang and Cao Zhen are entangled in Yongliang. If the prime minister attacks Si, Yan, and Yu with all his strength, how should Cao Pi respond? As I expected, as long as our army wins a few counties, Cao Pi is worried that it will be difficult to become my army, and if Guanzhong is not protected, he will leave!"

Must go?where to goOf course, it is to go to Chang'an, abandon the Central Plains, and preserve the troops to conquer the northwest, so that Cao Pi still has room for a comeback.Judging from the previous confrontations with Cao Pi, Cao Pi is not a person who will fight to the death. As long as there is a way out, he will not give up.

"Then what's next?" Deng Ai asked.

"Zhuge Liang is far away in Hanzhong at this time, and the appeasement envoy can lead an army to attack Yizhou by water!"

Sha Zan has roughly outlined his strategic thinking: Zhuge Liang will send troops to attack Guanzhong at this time, the Han army should not participate at this time, but storm the three states of the Central Plains, deter Cao Pi who is fighting on two fronts with a swift and fierce offensive, and force Cao Pi to retreat in order to preserve his strength. Going to Chang'an, but at this time it is said that Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition has not returned. Follow the road that Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei entered Sichuan to attack the weak Yizhou, and finally drive Zhuge Liang and Cao Pi to the northwest.

Zhou Cang was silent for a long time, which was very different from the original plan set by himself and Lu Xun.When Zhou Cang came to this world, he firmly believed that there are no permanent enemies and friends, but only permanent interests. Needless to say, Sun Quan and Cao Cao fought and made peace, and the death of Liu Guanzhang had a lot to do with Sun Quan. Deadly enmity, didn't Zhuge Liang form an alliance with Sun Quan in history?Zhuge Liang is absolutely capable of forming an alliance with Cao Zhen, and it is indeed not the best time to send troops to Yongliang at this time.Besides, the expeditionary army needed to borrow from Tuoba Liwei, so there was a lot of uncertainty in it.

But the biggest problem in Sha Zan's plan is whether he can scare Cao Pi away. This depends on the offensive must be fierce and ruthless, and it is best to be able to kill the general.This person is obviously Cao Ren. If Cao Ren is not dead, Cao Pi will not feel pain and will not be afraid.In other words, the main battlefield will be Yanzhou.

"Changsheng is tired all the way. For the time being, rest in my camp for two days. It is time to go to Jinan to pay homage to the emperor. In addition, there is a letter from home sent to the mansion for me."

Dianman sent Sha Zan down to rest.Deng Ai cupped his hands and said, "I think what Sha Zan said is very reasonable, what does the teacher think?"

Zhou Cang chuckled: "Go to Jibei for me to see Boyan, tell him the strategy of longevity, and see what he has planned."
