  Chapter 1546 Liu Bei's helpless move

  War is always changing.

For example, at a certain stage in Huaxia, the generals who went into battle actually had to set up their battle formations according to the battle plan outlined by the civil servants at the rear, and there were warlords watching from the side. If they dared to defy the battle plan at the rear, it would be considered a victory. He must also be severely punished, so that other generals will not follow suit in the future.

  If you lose according to the battle map? How is this possible? How can the civil servants who are strategizing and predicting things like gods in the rear give a battle plan that will be defeated? Plans can never keep up with changes, and the so-called brother Zhu, who has predicted thousands of miles, is nothing more than Mr. Luo's self-replacement.

  Liu Bei originally planned to retreat for a while, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. For Liu Bei, the passive defense has been a helpless move. After all, he has been under the situation of being beaten, and his morale will not be high no matter what...

Although Zhengxi General Fei Qian did not directly attack Chuanzhong, Liu Bei was in a passive situation because of the wooing of the people. Among other things, just being familiar with the Chuanzhong Mountain Road is likely to make Zhengxi General Fei Dive to find a large number of leading parties.

   Dogs jump over the wall when they are cornered, let alone Liu Bei?

  So, at this moment, Liu Bei was standing on the city wall of Qi County, looking at the two military strongholds outside the city.

  Yi County, in just a few months, has changed from an ordinary county town to a huge military fortress.

  Although there is no time for the city wall to be built higher, the trenches surrounding the city wall can continue to be dug deeper. The same is true for the army villages on both sides. The traces of the raid on Pang Xi in the past have disappeared, and even some of the people who were originally in Qi County have fled one after another. Trenching, driving stakes, transporting earth, numb and lifeless...

  Liu Bei took a look, and didn't pay much attention to the life and death of these civilians, so he turned his eyes back to the military camps on both sides, and said, "Second brother, these two military camps...who will be in charge?"

   "Let Ping'er command the left camp, and Captain Zhou on the right camp..." Guan Yu said in a deep voice, "In the left camp, there are mostly Dongzhou soldiers, and in the right camp, there are mostly soldiers recruited from Sichuan and Shu..."

  Liu Bei nodded and said, "So... let Liu Junhou enter the right camp first..."

  Guan Yu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Youying, well, it's not bad... It's just this strategy... Is Liu Junhou willing?"

   With a strategy like this, most people who implement the plan will have a narrow escape, so if it is not voluntary, coercion really has no effect.

"Liu Li and Liu Jingguo are loyal and generous..." Liu Bei smiled slightly, with a kind of bitterness in his smile, "The soldiers who conquered the west were tyrannical, and there were few defeats when they entered Sichuan. Their morale was high. If you don't count The setback, I am afraid, is...even if this strategy fails, it can still separate the hearts of Zhengxi, Chuanshu, and Jiao people, and make them guard against each other...In any case, the plan of conquering Jinniu will be defeated!"

  Guan Yu stroked his long beard, was silent for a while, and sighed softly: "In this way, Liu Junhou will only suffer..."

  Liu Bei also let out a long sigh and remained silent.

  It was night, and the right battalion in Qixian County suddenly rebelled. Amidst the din of fire, Marquis Liu Li led a group of soldiers to break through the gate of the village, and went northward to conquer the west...

  ………………

   Guanghan.

   Ten miles outside the city.

  Amidst the sound of the horn, the low whimper sound seemed to have shaken the world on this side.

  Fei Qian moved out from the crowd and looked at Liu Li and others who were coming from afar.

  The soldiers who followed Liu Li looked at the tricolor flag not far away with some awe and a little anxiety, and looked at Fei Qian, the general who had been rumored to be somewhat mysterious.

  There is indeed a huge difference between the soldiers of Sichuan and Shu and the troops of Yonghe.

The land of Yongzhou and Bingzhou was originally full of brave and aggressive men. In addition, most of Longyou and Bingbei were mixed with barbarians. Therefore, most of the soldiers in these places can ride bad horses and draw bows, and the folk customs are relatively tough. Some, once included in the army, most of them will become good soldiers. On the other hand, the soldiers of Sichuan and Shu have a lot of difference in physique. This disadvantage lasted until the end of cold weapons, and did not change until the era of hot weapons , or even transform.

Because in the era of hot weapons, the importance of hand-to-hand combat is greatly reduced, and if the body is smaller and thinner during mountain sports combat, the calories required are relatively small. If it is in a long-term semi-starved environment, on the contrary Compared with those tall northern men, they are better able to adapt to fatigue and consume less energy. It is not surprising that the Sichuan and Shu soldiers performed better.

  However, in the era of cold weapons, physique is still king, just like China, although there are some barbarians on all sides, but the biggest threat always comes from the north, which can prove something.

The soldiers from Sichuan and Shu brought by Liu Li were mixed with some soldiers recruited from the central Sichuan. It was almost the first time that they saw such powerful soldiers from the north, and when they saw the brave Yongbin troops, there was a commotion immediately. Whispering sounds one after another...

   Liu Li strode forward and prostrated himself on the ground: "Greetings to General Zhengxi! Now Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are innocent in Sichuan, persecuting Zhongliang, and plundering places. We cannot bear the suffering, and hereby vote!"

  Fei Qian armor looks a little dark and dark, but that is because of a camouflage on the battlefield. After all, Fei Qian can't rely on his own bravery like Wen Hou Lu Bu to boost the morale of the whole army with a slapstick color that can be seen a kilometer away and a super-high helmet that has no defense ability but is even more slapstick. It is necessary to hide in the army in a low-key manner, so as not to hold back the entire army. Therefore, not only are there no fancy things, even the armor pieces of the armor are deliberately worn out and sprayed with black paint.

However, at this time, Fei Qian put on an incomparably bright red cloak, and the black and red color scheme also showed a three-point majesty. After meeting Liu Li, he also said loudly: " I am very happy to have you voted from all the strong men! You are all loyal and brave people. If the Liu family can’t make good use of it, they will be cut off from the world! With the help of all of you, I will definitely be able to regain Sichuan and put down the chaos and rebellion! You can also stand up again Contributors, meritorious descendants!"

  Liu Li and others hurriedly bowed down together: "General Zhengxi will definitely succeed in no time! We will surely die without hesitation, but the general will follow the lead!"

   Fei Qian smiled slightly, nodded, and ended this large-scale show outside Guanghan City.

  The horse is leading the way...

  Hehe, I seem to have used such words back then.

   It's just that Liu Li, what aspect does it mean?

  After receiving the news that Liu Li came to vote, Fei Qian also met with Xu Shu immediately to analyze and discuss this matter. Although there are some doubts, the meanings of Fei Qian and Xu Shu are relatively unified, no matter what, we must accept it first!

   Moreover, you have to accept it openly and aboveboard, and the hospitality of good wine and meat, you can't break up the establishment as soon as you come, at least you have to wait for a while...

  The reason is very simple. Anyone who doesn’t understand should play in the mud.

  However, in this way, it also means that there are certain risks, but because Liu Li was originally the person Fei Qian deliberately released before, so Fei Qian is somewhat at ease...

  ………………

  Yi County.

   Just after Liu Li and others went to Guanghan, Liu Bei was in the hall of Qi County, looking at the map of Sichuan and Shu on the table, thinking carefully. There were a dozen or so guards standing and walking inside and outside the lobby, and none of them dared to patrol too fast, lest they make too much noise and disturb Liu Bei's thinking.

   This map is still the map of Sichuan and Shu when Liu Yan was alive. It was later passed to Liu Zhang, and then naturally it was in Liu Bei's hands. The scroll made of sandalwood has been rubbed so that it shines a bit, but the quality of the silk cloth is still very good, and there is not much fracture and embrittlement.

  Liu Bei kept pointing his hands above the map, as if simulating the formation of troops, pondered for a long time, but finally he could only sigh, "It would be great if there were more soldiers..."

"The strength of a certain soldier is really not enough... You must not go out without authorization to fight against the army of Zhengxi..." Liu Bei once again confirmed his thoughts, shook his head quickly, and said, "If a certain subordinate has such elites, Why do you worry that Sichuan and Shu are not at peace, and the world is not at peace!"

Guan Yu nodded as well. Although he was arrogant, he had to admire that the soldiers under Zheng Xi's men were indeed sturdy, at least as good as his school swordsmen, and the key was that his school swordsmen were only three The number is four hundred, and there are at least three or four thousand of Zhengxi's troops, and this does not include the long-renowned cavalry under Zhengxi's command!

  Guan Yu pondered for a while, and said, "What if Zhengxi doesn't fall for it?"

"This..." Liu Bei hung his hand on the map, pausing for a moment, "It will probably come... Even though the winter in Sichuan and Shu is late, it is coming soon... If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait for a winter and spring in vain ...Zhengxi, will come!"

  Liu Bei's last few words were spoken with gritted teeth.

  Guan Yu nodded silently.

   The confrontation between the two sides means that both sides are consuming.

  Liu Bei is actually very talented in the military, which is not the same as the description in the novel. In the real history, Liu Bei was in the early stage, even in the middle stage, Liu Bei was a relatively qualified army commander, but in the later period...

Therefore, Liu Bei was also keenly aware of some problems exposed by General Fei Qian of Zhengxi—Zhengxi's policy of wooing the smugglers showed that Zhengxi wanted to use these smugglers to create some troubles and contradictions for Liu Bei's governance in Sichuan. But it also shows that General Zhengxi is not that rich in materials, otherwise he should have used the method of buying food and grass long ago, instead of just bringing it up now!

   What time is it now?

After the autumn harvest, even if the production capacity of the Han people is not as good as that of the Han people on the flat land, they will still have some gains. At least the demand for materials is not as scarce as it was during the time when there was no supply. Qianda can easily say some scene words, and he doesn't need to take out anything specially for emergency.

  Winter is coming soon.

  After winter, in the mountains and forests of Sichuan and Shu, some places will snow and some places will freeze. It may be that the passable mountain roads are no longer suitable for traffic. And who will be more familiar with the conditions of these mountain roads?

  Naturally, he is a person who lives in the mountains and forests every day!

Therefore, Zhengxi bought it from the people, not only to add trouble to Liu Bei, but also to relieve his own worries. After all, these people are thinking about the future benefits promised by Zhengxi, so once there is any change in the mountain road, most of them will be inclined to Zhengxi. Xi, give me some information to remind me or something, it means that General Zhengxi used this strategy to get a lot of eyeliners from all over Sichuan for free!

   There are even hidden means of subsequent changes!

   Want to know how the Golden Bull Road in Sichuan, Shu and Guanzhong came about?

   Stone cow dung gold, five Ding clear the way! The Golden Bull Road is actually the road opened by the King of Shu himself, which attracted the army of the King of Qin to destroy his country!

If Liu Bei ignores it, until the spring of next year, these people who have taken refuge in Zhengxi will naturally want to get the cattle and horses that Zhengxi plowed, and in the process of transporting these cattle and horses, Zhengxi will naturally Then you can know almost all the mountain roads that can pass cows and horses!

  Do you need to say more about the next thing?

   As soon as Liu Bei thinks of this, he shudders...

   Therefore, sending Liu Li as a bait to actively attract Zhengxi to fight is actually a helpless move by Liu Bei.

  In the lobby, the two were silent for a while, Liu Bei stared at the map, and suddenly asked: "Second brother, if you send troops from the west... how many soldiers should there be?"

Guan Yu squinted his eyes, stroked his long beard, counted, and said slowly: "The cavalrymen who conquered the west were all outside Sichuan and did not enter Sichuan. Originally there were only three or four thousand soldiers in Sichuan. Three thousand people, plus the soldiers from Sichuan and Shu in Guanghan, Nanchong and other places, should be around Wansansi at the moment... Although the information from Anhan has not yet returned information, it is not clear how many soldiers and horses were sent into Padang by Zhengxi, but According to a certain estimate, there should be at least one or two thousand conscripts from the Northwest Army, and two or three thousand soldiers from Sichuan and Shu... In addition, the defense of the four cities such as Guanghan and Langzhong should be taken into account. That is, four or five thousand soldiers and horses..."

Liu Bei nodded and said: "That's what I think too... I have ordered my third brother to go out of Fu County to pretend to attack the left wing of Guanghan, and at least some of Zhengxi's troops can be involved... I heard that under Zhengxi's command, they have the ability of demons, which can summon thunder from the sky and break the bombardment." The gate of the village... If you come to conquer the west, you will probably use this as a basis to attack the left and right battalions, and then attack the city..."

Guan Yu said proudly: "The theory of demons is the ignorant words of ordinary people, and it is not credible! However, the soldiers and horses in Zhengxi are strong and good at attacking fortifications, so it is not an exaggeration... Don't worry, brother. In response, the army will surely be defeated!"

"Zhengxi..." Liu Bei lifted his eyes from the map and looked into the distance, as if he wanted to see through the space and see Zhengxi in Guanghan. After a while, his eyes gathered again and looked at the map again On top of that, "It's so natural and wonderful... However, you and I need to add up the total... Let's see if there are any omissions..."

  If Zhengxi is defeated, at most it will hurt muscles and bones. Even if you have withdrawn from Sichuan and Shu, at least Zhengxi is still in Guanzhong Hanzhong. On the contrary, if Liu Bei loses, there is no way out!

   This battle is only allowed to win, not to lose!
