Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 847
Qu A was eager to take Longyou and Tianshui because he was worried that the Wei army who stayed in Hanzhong would pose a flank threat to Zhang Jaw. Although his worries were reasonable, they were unnecessary.

On December [-]th, Zhou Xin, who was still planning to capture Yizhou, told Deng Ai and Sha Zan his plan: to provide support for the expedition of the Northern Army and the Western Army, he would personally lead the attack on Shangyong and Weixing. County, dragged Xia Houshang, and used it to paralyze the Shu army, while Deng Ai and Sha Zan assembled secretly in Zigui, and entered Sichuan three months later.

Zhou Xin calculated that now the southern army has 14 infantry, 5 navy troops, and an additional [-] Shanyue Army, the total strength can reach [-], enough to fight on two fronts.Going to Shangyong is just a bluff, [-] people can be swindled into [-], and they don't have to be elites, they can also be filled by navy troops; Deng Ai's [-] elites, Wang Chuan's [-] Wuxi soldiers, and [-] newly recruited Shanyue soldiers, Xu Shengsan It is not a problem for the Wanshui army to capture Yong'an.

"Pengfei doesn't need to be in a hurry to enter Sichuan. After Junyi and General Yuanba gain a firm foothold in Yongliang, I will immediately return to the army to help you."

On December 22, Zhou Xin vowed to be a teacher in Xiangyang, and led Feng Jian and Su Li to fight aggressively at Shangyong.

With such a big movement, Huang Quan got the news very quickly and immediately sent someone to report to Chengdu.

People in Yizhou are stable, and the situation can be regarded as good now.On the [-]th day of the first lunar month in the [-]th year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xun summoned his subordinates to discuss military affairs, just for two major events: one was Huang Quanbao, Zhou Xin of Jingzhou raised [-] troops to attack Shangyong; , Ma Dai surrendered to the big Han, and is now leading the army to attack Longyou.

The Han army came so fast, completely beyond the expectations of Yizhou monarchs and ministers.Obviously, Qu'a's long-distance attack on Liangzhou was to form an echo between East and West, and Zhou Xin responded to Qu'a.In the short term, Yizhou is safe, but in the long run, the shorter the war between the Han and Wei dynasties, the more unfavorable it is to Yizhou.At this time, no one bothered to reprimand Ma Dai, and there was no reason to blame Ma Dai. They were all worried about the safety of Yizhou, and they all turned their attention to Li Yan, Jiang Wei, and Fei Yi.

"Your Majesty once told the people when he ascended the throne that he would not use troops abroad for five years. Besides, Yizhou is in danger of mountains and rivers. As long as we strictly guard the pass and rest and raise troops, why are we afraid of Wei and Han?" Li Yan coughed lightly.

"I heard Fa Xiaozhi and Wei Wenchang say to Liu Bei that Hanzhong is the gateway of Yizhou. If you enter, you can pass through Yongliang, and if you retreat, you can protect Bashu. When the Han army attacks Longyou and Shangyong, Hanzhong will be empty. I am willing to lead the army to capture Hanzhong. "The militant Jiang Wei is naturally unwilling to give up such a good opportunity.

"I think that General Boyue's words are reasonable, but the late emperor, oh, Lord Xuande spent a lot of money and food in sending troops to Hanzhong. Almost everyone, men, women and children, went to battle, and Yizhou was almost empty. Since your majesty has made a promise, you must not take it lightly. Raise the army." The censor Qiao Zhou came out of the squad and remonstrated.

"What do Wen Wei think?" Liu Xungang was a little moved, but Qiao Zhou pressed him down again.

"I think that from one time to another, the Wei army had General Xia Houyuan stationed at that time, and there were many generals without external troubles. Now he is disturbed by the Han army, and the morale of the army is fluctuating. Cheng Wu, the prefect, is not a good general. Maybe he can give it a try."

"Well, Cheng Wu, is Zidu there?"

Meng Da went out of work in a regular manner. "The minister is here."

"You worked with Cheng Wu in Shangyong, how is this person?"

"This man is the son of Cheng Yu, Cao Cao's confidant. Although he is not good at fighting, he has a gloomy mind and a lot of power. General Boyue, am I right?"

Jiang Wei nodded: "I also got along with him in Shangyong, what Zidu said is true, but Cheng Wu is definitely not my opponent."

Because Meng Da is so low-key and humble, Liu Xun's attitude towards Meng Da has changed. "Zidu is also a famous general in Sichuan, what do you think?"

Meng Da waited for so long, just for himself to have the right to speak in the court. "I think what General Bo Yue and Wen Wei said is very true, but we need to be cautious about this matter. Although the spies have reported, they are not thorough, and I don't know the reality of Hanzhong. It is inevitable that I will be sent to Yizhou as Qiao Yushi said. We are dragged into a predicament. For the proper period, I suggest that a general be sent to lead a small force to highlight the Jiange and spy on the Wei army. It would be best if General Wei can be captured, and it is only an investigation to the outside world."

It is obviously a bad idea, but it has won the approval of many civil and military officials: it is a good idea, it will not bear the bad name of breaking trust with the people, and it can also explore military opportunities.

Li Yan secretly scolded pedantic!If you want to fight, you can fight. Wouldn't this be a warning?He didn't want to provoke public anger at this time.

Liu Xun and Yan Yuese said to Jiang Wei: "If you talk about sending out surprise soldiers, there is no one better than Boyue in the world. Would the general be willing to go?"

Jiang Wei knew that there would be no better result if he continued to fight, so he could only compromise and said: "I am willing to go!"

After retiring from the court, Jiang Wei immediately led three generals, Zhang Yi, Fu Qian, and Jiang Shu, and led [-] troops to Jiange.

Deng Xian returned home and asked, "Why did uncle offer this strategy?"

"Everyone is arguing endlessly. Only this strategy can follow the king's heart. If the king accepts it, there is hope for my comeback."

"Since that's the case, why didn't uncle ask to lead the army himself, and Jiang Wei took the credit instead?"

"Is this for merit? Not necessarily. Li Zhengfang is unwilling to fight, and Jiang Wei will have a gap with Zhengfang no matter whether he wins or loses." Meng Da stroked his beard and beard and said with a smile: "If I ask for orders to lead the army, I will only fight." The opposite happened, Li Zhengfang and Jiang Boyue couldn't tolerate me."

"Ah...then uncle won't offend Li Yan?"

Before the words fell, the door came down to report Prime Minister Li Yan's visit.

"Zidu, why did you propose to send troops?" Li Yan rushed into the lobby and asked immediately.

Come on, let Xingshi inquire about the crime, Deng Xian looked at Meng Da.

"The prime minister's visit is far away, atonement, atonement, please take your seat." Meng Da's expression did not change.

"You and I are old friends, there is no need to be courteous."

Hmph, what are you talking about old friends at this time.When you win me over, you made some faces, and I didn't see you like this when I returned to Shu.Meng Da muttered in his heart, with a smile still on his face: "Prime Minister misunderstood me."

"What do you think."

"The Prime Minister and I have the same idea. It's just that above the court, Bo Yue and Wen Wei both advocated going to war. Your Majesty is tempted, so I can only make this bad plan as a way to slow down the troops."

"Huh? How to delay the attack?"

"Prime Minister, think about it. If Jiang Boyue goes out to battle and returns like a feather, it will make him retreat in the face of difficulties and stop thinking about it. Even if Jiang Wei succeeds by luck, he will go back and forth, at least one month, at most two months, then Even if there is no war in Hanzhong and the dust settles, but the smoke is raging everywhere, how can I send troops to get involved? Today, the quarreling in the court hall has lost harmony, isn’t it? How should the king treat the prime minister?"

"Zidu is right." Li Yan immediately lost his temper, and it seemed that Meng Da and himself were still on the united front.After chatting for a while, Li Yan stood up and said goodbye: "Zidu is a famous general, but it is really overkill to farm the fields. I should recommend Zidu to the king for reuse."

"I haven't made any achievements since I returned to Shu, and it won't be too late to talk about it after I have finished farming."

"I don't need to worry about this matter, I have my own measure."
