Three Kingdoms: I started to build the Strategist Ranking

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian’an, Liu Bei attacked Hanzhong and confronted Cao Cao in Hanshui, and Zhuge Liang was ordered to lead troops to support.

After arriving at the front line, Zhuge Liang personally went to check the nearby terrain, and then said to Zhao Yun: “General Zhao led five hundred people, carrying war drums and horns, to ambush in the hilly area upstream of Hanshui.

If you hear the trumpets sounding in our barracks, beat the drums and cheer them on, but do not come out to fight. ”

“No!”

Zhao Yun led the order to leave.

The next day, the Cao army came to call for battle, but Zhuge Liang ordered the army to hold out, and no matter how Cao Jun shouted, they refused to fight, and the Cao army had to withdraw to the camp.

In the middle of the night, Zhuge Liang observed the enemy camp and found that the fire of the enemy camp was extinguished, making people blow the trumpet.

Zhao Yun, who was ambushed in the hilly area upstream, heard the sound of trumpets from his own camp, and immediately let people beat the war drums and blow the trumpets.

The momentum was huge and spread throughout the battlefield.

Cao Jun also thought that the Shu soldiers were coming to rob the camp, and hurriedly got up to prepare for battle, but found that there was not a single shadow of the Shu soldiers outside the camp.

But as soon as they returned to the camp, the war drums and trumpets of the Shu soldiers sounded again, and the Cao army had to get up again to prepare for battle, but still did not find a single shadow of the Shu soldiers.

This was the case for several nights in a row, and the generals of the Cao army were exhausted and in a slump.

Cao Cao was afraid that the Shu army would really come to rob the camp, and with the current state of the generals of the Cao army, it would be very dangerous if they encountered an attack by the Shu army.

In desperation, he retreated with his army for a full thirty miles before re-encamping.

Zhuge Liang came to see Liu Bei and said, “The lord can take the opportunity to lead troops across the Han River and camp on the opposite bank.

If the Cao army comes to challenge, it can fight with it, but it can only be defeated and cannot be won. ”

After the defeat, he led his troops to retreat to the Han water, leaving his war horses, grain and other supplies scattered on the road.

Not long after Cao Jun conquered Hanzhong, there was bound to be a shortage of food in the city.

When they saw these materials, they would go crazy, and the Cao army would be in chaos without a fight.

At this time, the lord led the army back and could easily defeat the Cao army.

“In order to be just in case, General Huang and General Zhao can be ordered to ambush on the two wings in advance, and when the Cao army formation is in chaos, it will definitely be able to defeat the Cao army in one fell swoop.”

“Okay, just act according to the plan of the military master.”

Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang’s advice and acted according to the plan.

After Liu Bei’s army left, Zhuge Liang called Zhang Fei and Wei Yan again, and said: “If the Cao army loses, it will definitely flee to Southern Zheng, General Zhang, General Wei, you two take advantage of our confrontation with the Cao army to lead the army to take Nanzheng first.” ”

“No!”

Zhang Fei and Wei Yan led the way to leave.

On the second day after Liu Bei led his army across the Hanshui camp, Cao Cao led the army to attack, Liu Bei pretended to be defeated, led the army to flee to the water’s edge, scattering a lot of war horses, food and other materials along the way.

The Cao army that chased after him, as Zhuge Liang expected, frantically grabbed materials, resulting in a great chaos in the formation.

Seeing this, Cao Cao, who was supervising the battle in the rear, changed his face and roared angrily: “Quick, Mingjin to collect the troops.” ”

Once the army is in chaos, it has no combat effectiveness to speak of.

If the Shu soldiers kill back at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, in the end, it was still a step slower.

At this time, Liu Bei had already led his army to kill back, and at the same time, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun also led troops to kill from both wings according to the established plan, breaking the Cao army.

Cao Cao led the army and fled in a hurry.

Liu Bei wanted to lead troops in pursuit, but was dissuaded by Zhuge Liang: “Lord, there is no need to chase.” ”

“Why?”

Liu Bei asked suspiciously, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were also puzzled, this is a great opportunity to destroy the Cao army in one fell swoop, Zhuge Liang said: “Cao Cao is extremely good at leading troops, although he lost this time, he will inevitably set up ambushes along the way, if he pursues rashly, he is likely to suffer heavy losses, and it will be worth the loss.” ”

“Then, according to the military master’s opinion, how should we act now?”

Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, “Liang has concluded that Cao Cao must have fled to Nanzheng.

I had sent General Zhang and General Wei to capture Nanzheng in advance. ”

By the time Cao Cao arrived at Nanzheng, Nanzheng was already in our hands.

Nanzheng was lost, and if Cao Cao knew that the defeat was decided, he would directly lead his troops to flee back to Xudu.

“If he still has a chance, I will definitely destroy him, now our army only needs to recharge its strength and wait and see the changes in the battle situation.”

“Good!”

Liu Bei nodded and let the army rest in place.

A few days later, a scout sent back intelligence that Cao Cao saw that Nanzheng was lost and led his army to flee to Yangping Pass.

Zhuge Liang smiled after reading the information: “It seems that Cao Cao is not dead yet, even so, then add fire to him.” ”

Liu Bei hurriedly asked, “What is the military master’s plan?” ”

Zhuge Liang said: “You can give orders to General Zhang and General Wei of Southern Zheng to set out from Southern Zheng and cut off the grain roads behind the Cao army.

General Huang and General Zhao rushed to the outside of Yangping Pass and set fire to the mountain to deter the enemy.

Logistical supplies were cut off, and Cao Cao was forced to fight to the death with our army. ”

“And at that time, Cao Jun had long been frightened, plus he had been fleeing and physically and mentally exhausted, how could he be an opponent of our army? If Yangping Pass loses again, the Cao army will have no morale and will not dare to stay any longer, so he can only flee back to Xudu in embarrassment, and Hanzhong will return to the hands of the lord. ”

“The military master’s plan is very clever.”

Liu Bei acted according to Zhuge Liang’s plan, and sure enough, he once again defeated the Cao army at Yangping Pass, and Cao Cao led the remnants of the defeated army to flee back to Xudu, and all of Hanzhong returned to Liu Bei.

In July of the same year, Liu Bei was proclaimed King of Hanzhong.

At this point, the strategic policy of occupying Jingzhou and Yizhou proposed to Liu Bei by Zhuge Liang when he was in Caolu was basically realized.

Seeing this, everyone in the world was amazed.

Throughout the campaign to capture Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang calculated Cao Cao’s actions, escape routes, etc., and the whole was firmly controlled by Zhuge Liang.

In the face of such a terrifying enemy, one can imagine how much fear was in Cao Cao’s heart at that time.

“It is worthy of being the world’s number one strategist, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles, and this ability is very comparable.”

“Liu Bei estimated that happiness blossomed in his heart at that time, after fighting for so many years, he had never fought such a comfortable battle.”

“Liu Bei, who has lost a hundred battles, will live a life of a hundred victories from now on?”

Jingzhou, Xu Shu saw this scene, and his mind couldn’t help but think of the evolution of Zhuge Liang’s life on the screen, Zhuge Liang once said that he could be an official who managed a state, but Zhuge Liang just smiled and said nothing in the face of the same question he asked.

Now that I think about it, Zhuge Liang at that time already had full self-confidence and would become a national talent in the future?

Judging from the current performance, this Zhuge Liang is indeed extraordinary.

Even if his future self was not coerced by Cao Cao to leave with his mother, I am afraid that he would not exceed Zhuge Liang.

“I won’t be much worse than you.”

Xu Shu’s eyes are firm, since he knows the future, he must work harder than his future self to completely change the future.

Jingzhou, Pang Tong also clenched his fists: “Lying dragon and phoenix chicks, one person can be in peace with the world.”

I am on a par with you, how can I let you press me so much, this time, I will definitely not be worse than you. ”

Chen Liujun, Cao Cao stared at Zhuge Liang on the screen with dead eyes: “I don’t know if Jia Xu can handle Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi may be able to?” ”

As for Xun Yu, he wasn’t quite sure if he would come to him after watching the evolution of his life.

At this time, he couldn’t help but think of Sima Yi again.

Perhaps in the future, if you want to fight against Zhuge Liang, the world’s first strategist, you will also need Sima Yi, the world’s second strategist, to help.

It was just that thinking of what Sima Yi would do in the future, Cao Cao hesitated.

The key problem is that even if he wants to continue to recruit Sima Yi, then Sima Yi may not dare to come, and he is afraid that he will be killed directly by taking the opportunity.

“Forget it, let’s talk about it then, the current Zhuge Liang is only ten years old, so there is no need to be afraid for the time being.”

Cao Cao sighed and continued to look up at the screen in the sky.

Anxi County, Liu Bei patted his thigh excitedly: “Good, good, good!” Zhuge Liang has such ability, why worry about big things? By the way, second brother, you contact some dead men again, go to Xiangyang to protect Zhuge Liang, others he is in danger. ”

“Okay, big brother.”

Guan Yu nodded.

At this time, Chu Feng’s voice sounded again.

“In the twenty-fourth winter of Jian’an, Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou and let Zhuge Liang bring it up

“Occupy Jingzhou, Yizhou, plot the Central Plains”

“The strategic approach has been hit hard.”

In the first year of Yankang, Cao Pi was declared emperor, and Yizhou Zhongwen Wu advised Liu Bei to become emperor, but Liu Bei refused.

After the discussion, Zhuge Liang came alone to persuade Liu Bei. ”

In the picture, Liu Bei asked: “The military master came alone, also to persuade me to become emperor?” ”

“Exactly.”

Zhuge nodded.

Liu Bei asked suspiciously, “Then when the matter was discussed before, why didn’t the military master say it?” ”

Zhuge Liang said, “There are some words that are not suitable to be said in public, but they are things that the lord must know, so Liang came alone.” ”

Hearing him say this, Liu Bei became interested and said, “Let’s listen.” ”

Zhuge Liang shook the white feather fan and said, “There are four reasons why Liang persuaded the Lord to be called emperor. ”

“Which four?”

Liu Bei asked curiously.

Zhuge Liang said: “First, now that Cao Pi is called emperor, the Han family is dead, and the lord, as the last wisp of qi of the Han family, must undertake the will of the Han family and fight against the rebel thieves.” ”

If we do not claim the title of emperor, our contest with Cao Wei will be a contest between the courtiers and the Son of Heaven, and in the future, the crusade against the Central Plains will be unjustified and unspoken, and we will even be defined as the following unrighteous masters, which is extremely detrimental to our future development.

Only by becoming emperor can the war elevate to a contest between countries.

Second, the Han court declined, but the influence of the Han court remained.

As a clan relative of the Han family, the lord adheres to the legacy of the Han family, takes over the luck of the Han family, fights against the rebel thieves, and will get more people who are still in the Han family, and the heart of talent.

After becoming an emperor, she can also inherit the resources and influence left by the Han to the greatest extent, which will be beneficial to future development without harm.

Third, the Lord has always been divided into two factions, namely the Jingzhou faction and the Yizhou faction.

It’s just that in the past, the people of the Jingzhou faction were in Jingzhou, and the people of the Yizhou faction were in Yizhou, and there was no conflict.

However, since General Guan died in battle and Jingzhou was lost, almost all of the people of the Jingzhou faction entered Yizhou, and the gathering of the two major factions in one place was bound to affect the political balance.

Over time, conflicts are bound to occur.

The lord is called the emperor, which can attract the attention of the two factions and prevent infighting, and at the same time, it also tells the people of the two factions not to focus on infighting, and our common goal is Cao Wei.

Fourth, when the lord is declared empress, he can grant higher titles and positions to his subordinate military generals.

Although this does not provide a substantial improvement in their rights, it can greatly encourage their enthusiasm and stimulate their vitality.

“I don’t know these four reasons, can you make the Lord make up his mind?”

In fact, he had a fifth reason, that is, by declaring himself emperor, he brought certain pressure to Sun Quan and forced Sun Quan to become emperor, so that he could continue to ally with Sun Quan and continue to fight against Cao Cao together.

But Guan Yu had just been killed by Sun Quan, and it was not appropriate to mention Sun Quan at this time, so he did not say the last point.

However, these four reasons are enough.

Liu Bei sighed and said, “These four reasons mentioned by the military master are indeed impossible to refuse.

Well, just do what the military master says. ”

“The Lord is wise.”

Zhuge Liang was relieved in his heart.

In the first year of Zhang Wu, Liu Bei was declared emperor, and in order to inherit the legacy of the Great Han, the name of the country was “Han”, but in order to distinguish the Great Han, plus the location in Shu, it was also called Shu Han, or the State of Shu.

Zhuge Liang was made prime minister.

Seeing this, people in the world had to admire Zhuge Liang’s eloquence.

“So many people persuaded Liu Bei to become emperor, but Liu Bei was suppressed, but Zhuge Liang’s three words made Liu Bei change his attention, which is really powerful.”

“The key is that these reasons that Zhuge Liang found all said that Liu Bei’s heart went, so Liu Bei would change his mind.”

Chen Liujun, Cao Cao frowned slightly: “The national name is Han, this is to transfer the resources and influence of the Han family to Liu Bei.”

Moreover, as soon as Liu Bei became emperor, Sun Quan would feel the pressure, and sooner or later he would also be called emperor, which would indeed bring great trouble to the Wei state. ”

Anxi County, Guan Yu sighed and said: “Careless loss of Jingzhou? Alas! ”

Hearing this sentence again, Guan Yu’s mood was very complicated.

From the evolution of the lives of those advisers before, he saw whether the decline of the Shu Kingdom began with his careless loss of Jingzhou, which made him feel very guilty.

Liu Bei patted Guan Yu’s shoulder and comforted with a smile: “Second brother doesn’t have to worry, since he knows the future, he can naturally change.”

As long as you can find the key point of the problem and change him, you can change the known future. ”

The crux of the matter?

Guan Yu knew in his heart that it was because he had no one in his sight, and he did not put Lu Meng, Lu Xun and other rising generations in his eyes, and he must pay more attention in the future.

At this time, Chu Feng’s voice sounded again.

“In July, in order to retake Jingzhou, Liu Bei prepared to lead an army to attack the state of Wu, but was dissuaded by Zhuge Liang and other ministers.”

In the picture, I saw Zhuge Liang persuading: “Your Majesty, we have just experienced the battle of Hanzhong, although we have captured Hanzhong, our food consumption is also very serious, plus the soldiers have been fighting for many years, physically and mentally exhausted, and it is not suitable to start the war again.” ”

“What’s more, our primary enemy is still the Wei Kingdom, and Sun Quan is still the target of our joint resistance to Cao, and I ask the Lord to think twice.”

“The prime minister doesn’t need to say much, it is imperative to cut Wu.”

Liu Bei did not heed Zhuge Liang’s dissuasion, and when Zhuge Liang saw this, he only sighed slightly and did not persuade again.

After the end of the court, the generals asked Zhuge Liang why he did not die, and if Zhuge Liang died, it might make His Majesty change his mind.

Zhuge Liang sighed: “It’s not that you don’t want to, but you can’t.”

I heard that Nanjun Taishou wrote a letter to His Majesty, advising His Majesty not to attack Jingzhou.

Nanjun Taishou is my eldest brother, Zhuge Jin. ”

If I die at this time, not only will I not be able to dissuade Your Majesty, but I will make Your Majesty mistakenly think that I am colluding with my eldest brother and lose trust in me from then on.

His Majesty is determined to destroy Wu, and no one can dissuade him, perhaps the late Fa Xiaozhi can.

“Even if I die, I can’t change Your Majesty’s mind.

It doesn’t matter if Fa Wu loses, I will help His Majesty stabilize the Shu Kingdom.

But if Your Majesty has lost trust in me since then, how can I help Your Majesty stabilize the rear and guard against Cao Wei during this period when Your Majesty is attacking the Kingdom of Wu? ”

All the officials are silent, Nanjun Taishou is the eldest brother of the prime minister, and the death of the prime minister at this time may really have the opposite effect.

Moreover, Cao Wei is indeed very likely to take the opportunity to attack the Shu Kingdom, if the prime minister falls out of favor, how to guard against Cao Wei?

Soon after, Liu Bei led an army to attack Eastern Wu, but was defeated at Yiling and withdrew to Yong’an.

When the news reached Chengdu, Zhuge Liang sighed: “If Fa Zheng is still there, it will definitely be able to stop His Majesty’s crusade.” ”

Seeing this, everyone in the world also sighed.

“Looking at the evolution of Fa Zheng’s life before, Liu Bei really obeyed him, and if Fazhi did not die, he should be able to persuade Liu Bei”

“In fact, Zhuge Liang should also be able to persuade Liu Bei, but unfortunately his identity is too sensitive to die.

Once he was not trusted by Liu Bei, the Shu Kingdom would be really dangerous. ”

“Only I noticed Zhuge Liang’s sentence, it doesn’t matter if Wu is defeated, can he stabilize the Shu Kingdom? What kind of confidence is this? Points”

Yizhou, Fa Zheng saw this scene, and his heart was mixed.

If he didn’t die in the future, could he really dissuade Liu Bei’s crusade at that time? If Liu Bei’s crusade had been stopped, would the fate of the Shu kingdom have been different?

Jingzhou, Zhuge Xuan saw this scene, looked down at Zhuge Liang, brothers have their own masters, at this critical moment, their identities will still become a little sensitive after all.

Zhuge Jin, who traveled to Luoyang, couldn’t help but be a little stunned when he heard Zhuge Liang’s words on the screen: “Will I go to Eastern Wu in the future?” ”

Anxi County, Liu Bei saw this scene and frowned: “How can I be so unwise?” ”

Now he has not experienced everything in the future, and he does not know much about the future self making such a decision under the circumstances at that time.
