I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 136 Liu Bi's pig teammates s (add s for plural)
After successfully obtaining the military power of Chu State, Liu Bi did not delay much, and immediately ordered the armies of Wu and Chu to assemble quickly and be ready to move out at any time.

As for Liu Bi himself, he gathered all the generals under his command in the military tent outside Pengcheng to discuss the next step.

"The King of Chu has already entrusted all the troops of the Chu State to the widow's hands."

"Although not many, there are still more than 20 soldiers and horses..."

The low-toned opening remarks made the generals in the tent look a little happy, but they couldn't completely dispel the inexplicably low atmosphere in the tent.

For this, Liu Bi obviously had expected it a long time ago, and didn't pay much attention to it;

Sitting on the throne above him, he took out the military amulet handed to him by King Liu Wu of Chu, and placed it on the table in front of him.

Afterwards, Liu Bi took a deep breath and turned his solemn eyes to the generals in the tent.

"Now, my Wu army has joined forces with King Chu's army;"

"The next step is to turn west and head towards Hangu Pass."

"Generals, do you have any good suggestions?"

Following Liu Bi's low-pitched question, the Wu generals in the tent only looked to the left and right, but none of them showed the gesture of "Let me talk about it".

As for the reason, it is also very simple: at this moment, the dozens of generals I gathered in the tent were mostly civil servants and even white bodies just a month ago...

On the first day of the first lunar month, after Liu Bi killed the envoy of the emperor with a sword outside the city of Guangling, the capital of Wu, all Wu officials experienced a wave of promotions with a huge span and a wide range.

The county magistrates who were originally at the level of six hundred stones have all become school captains at the level of two thousand stones;

The county-level officials who were originally at the thousand-stone level have basically become captains at the two-thousand-stone level.

It was even more exaggerated to be the Chaogong of the Wu Kingdom who was originally at the level of two thousand stones-he directly became the general of the two thousand stones!
Officials are like this, but it's okay;

Even the guests who were raised by Liu Bi in the palace in the past all received the seal of the general without exception, and transformed themselves into 'generals of one party'!
When Liu Bi rebelled, Wu officials, as well as Liu Bi's guests and retainers "chicken and dog ascended to heaven", naturally greatly boosted the morale of the rebels.

But what corresponds to it is naturally the quality of these 'generals'...
Um······

It can't be said that it is uneven, and it is somewhat unbearable to look directly at.

——After all, in the past, these people were kept in the palace by Liu Bi because of their "specialties" such as dancing with writing, dancing with knives and guns, or other "specialties";

It is obviously difficult for these people to ask these people to express valuable suggestions on military affairs.

Fortunately, beside Liu Bi, there are also a few warriors who were born in martial arts, and even those who have been generals for many years;

Seeing that no one came from a background and gave an answer to Liu Bi's question, the 'General' Tian Lubo, who was standing beside Liu Bi, stood up without hesitation.

"King;"

"Now, our Wu army has joined forces with Chu's army. The next step is naturally to turn west and head towards Hangu Pass."

"However, such a marching route can be seen by even unweaned children. The Chang'an court has naturally been prepared for a long time."

"If your majesty just let the army under his command go straight to the west without any other special route, then it will be very difficult for your majesty to succeed."

"——If the king is kind, I am willing to take 5 people, march westward along the Yangtze River and Huai River, accept the troops of Huainan and Changsha, and then enter Guanzhong from Wuguan!"

"In this way, the main force of the king is approaching westward, forcing the Chang'an court to fortify heavily in the direction of Hangu Pass;"

"The partial army led by the minister will attack Guanzhong from Wuguan;"

"In addition to Zhao Wang and Yan Wang, if the Huns can be lured into the pass and attack from the direction of Xiaoguan, then the central pass will be attacked from the north, east and south."

"No matter which direction you break through smoothly, you can enter Guanzhong, and the king's business will be successful..."

Seeing that Tian Lubo's words hadn't finished yet, the generals of the Wu Kingdom who had been looking around just now showed excitement on their faces one after another!
Yup!

How can it be possible to attack Guanzhong from the direction of Hangu Pass?
Only by attacking from the three directions of Xiaoguan, Hanguguan, and Wuguan respectively, can the Chang'an court take care of one thing and lose another, and cannot concentrate its strength!
For a moment, everyone looked at Tian Lubo with admiration.

——As expected of a great general!
However, compared to the crowd who were so excited and wished to kowtow to Tian Lubo on the spot, Wu Wang Liu Bi's expression turned a little ugly.

Seeing Liu Bi's strange expression, Liu Ju, the Prince of Wu, thought for a moment and stepped forward.

After bowing to Tian Lubo for a while, Liu Ju turned around and bowed heavily to Liu Bi.

"Father."

"My son thinks that the general's proposal is not very good."

Without any hesitation, Liu Ju, the crown prince, turned around again and looked at Tian Lubo with a little apology.

"I hope the general will not misunderstand;"

"It's not that I have any enmity with the general, so I refute the general's strategy like this."

"It's really the general's proposal, so I can't see any merit."

He said gently that he had 'no other meaning', and after Tian Lubo bowed his hands with a stiff smile, Prince Liu Ju turned sideways with a chuckle and looked at the generals in the tent.

"Generals, you should already know, right?"

"——In order to deal with us, Chang'an Chaotang has dispatched three armies."

"The first branch, 10,000+ people led by Quzhou Hou Liji, went to Zhao State and trapped King Zhao in Handan City;"

"The second team, 10,000+ people led by General Dou Ying, went to Xingyang to ensure the defense of Aocang and Xingyang."

"And the third branch, 10,000+ people led by the eunuch Liu She, went to Wuguan..."

After saying this softly, Crown Prince Liu Ju looked at Tian Lubo again, with a little seriousness in his gaze.

"The general said that our army can be divided into two groups and attack from the direction of Hangu Pass and Wuguan respectively;"

"You can also let Zhao Wang and Yan Wang lead the Huns into the pass and attack Xiaoguan."

"—But the three-way army sent by Chang'an Chaotang, Li Ji's troops, has trapped King Zhao in Handan City; Liu She's troops have also been under martial law in Wuguan."

"The only remaining direction of Hangu Pass is the imperial army led by Guan Ying, who will serve as the backup of Suiyang, the capital of Liang, while guarding Aocang in Xingyang."

"Under such circumstances, there is no need to consider the direction of Xiaoguan and Wuguan."

"Only the direction of Hangu Pass is the direction of attack that our army can consider."

"Especially in the direction of Hangu Pass, with Liang Wang Liu Wu's heavy troops stationed in Suiyang and the west of Suiyang, and Guan Ying stationed in Xingyang, our army should not be divided."

"—not only can't divide the troops, but also gather all the forces to try to break Liangdu: Suiyang!"

"Only in this way can the people in Guanzhong be in chaos;"

"Father and king can advance, and if you win in chaos, if you retreat, you will have the opportunity to rule the river..."

Without stage fright, he gave his arguments against Tian Lubo, and the crown prince Liu Ju bowed to Tian Lubo again.

"I don't know if the general thinks what I said makes sense?"

Following Prince Liu Ju's last question, General Tian Lubo of the State of Wu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Everyone in the tent also turned their heads for no reason, and began to look around again.

But from an angle that no one noticed, King Wu Liu Bi and Crown Prince Liu Ju looked at each other with a tacit understanding and smiled, then nodded each other...

——From a strategic point of view, there is actually nothing wrong with Tian Lubo's strategy.

As the most important and important pass between Guanzhong and Guandong, the defense of the Chang'an court in the direction of Hangu Pass must be extremely strict;

In contrast, the defense in the direction of Wuguan, even if there are 10,000+ Guanzhong troops to defend, the difficulty of attacking Wuguan is definitely much easier than attacking Hangu Pass.

Of course, all of this was based on the premise that Wu Chu's main attack on Hangu Pass would attract most of Chang'an Chaotang's attention.

The crown prince Liu Ju's rebuttal to Tian Lubo seemed to be very reasonable, but when he really said it, he was more or less suspected of being unreasonable.

——Wuguan has 10,000+ court troops, so shouldn't they attack Wuguan?
Hey!
From east to west in the direction of Hangu Pass, there are four lines of defense: Suiyang, Xingyang, Luoyang, and Hangu Pass, and each line of defense is defended by 10,000+ Chaotang troops!

According to Crown Prince Liu Shi, if Wuguan Pass should not be attacked, then Hangu Pass should not be attacked.

Furthermore, sending [-] soldiers and horses to form a partial army to attack the direction of Wuguan does not necessarily mean that Tian Lubo has to break through Wuguan;

It is not a bad thing to let Tian Lubo's partial army pretend to attack Wuguan and divert Chang'an Chaotang's attention to Wuguan, so as to relieve the main force of Wu and Chu in the direction of Hanguguan.

Therefore, the crown prince Liu Ju stepped forward and refuted Tian Lubo's strategy as "not to be adopted", not from a strategic point of view.

But because, about 50 years ago, a similar thing happened once...

"Hey······"

"Back then, when the anti-Qin rebel army attacked Guanzhong, it was Xiang Ji who attacked Hangu Pass and Emperor Gaozu who attacked Wuguan..."

"You Tian Lubo, don't you want to 'enter Chang'an first'?"

Looking at Tian Lubo meaningfully, and asking such a question in his heart, King Wu Liu Bi raised his head pretending to be calm, and rejected Tian Lubo's plan without hesitation.

"The prince is right."

"The current situation is very unfavorable to the widow and the King of Chu!"

"The only way is to move all the troops westward towards Hangu Pass and try to break through Suiyang!"

"As for the direction of Wuguan and Xiaoguan, we can only give up temporarily..."

Seeing that Liu Bi opened his mouth to make a decision and rejected Tian Lubo's plan, all the generals who didn't know what was going on in the tent had no choice but to bow their hands to Liu Bi in a daze.

And beside Liu Bi, Tian Lubo vaguely understood Liu Bi's concerns after thinking about it;

Even if he still wanted to say something, he could only helplessly shake his head and bowed to Liu Bi.

"The king is wise..."

Following Tian Lubo's proposal to "separate a side army along the way" was vetoed by King Wu Liu Bi and Crown Prince Liu Ju in cooperation, only a figure that was obviously different suddenly walked out of the generals who were at a loss.

I saw that young general, he looked to be in his early twenties, he was more than eight feet (1.84 meters) tall, although he was not tall, his shoulders were extremely broad.

Seeing that Tian Lubo's proposal was rejected, a look of resentment also appeared on the face of the young general.

The young general was about to step forward, but Tian Lubo gave him a sudden stare;
When he stopped, he saw Tian Lubo and nodded slowly to the young general...
This young general was named Huán Ba;

At this moment, among the 'generals' standing in the tent, apart from General Tian Lubo, the only 'true general' who was born as a warrior.

As a real general, especially the young talents who were brought by Tian Lubo's side and personally taught him for many years, Huan Ba ​​could naturally see at a glance how valuable Tian Lubo's suggestion was for today's army.

But Huan Ba ​​really didn't quite understand: Why was such a good proposal rejected by the king?

General, why don't you insist a little longer, and don't even allow yourself to stand up and persuade the king...

Frozen in place thinking for a long time, Huan Ba ​​couldn't figure out why;

But from the way the general Tian Lubo looked at him and the constant shaking of his head, Huan Ba ​​could only draw such a conclusion;
—— Regarding Tian Lubo's proposal of "dividing the troops", my lord, I have other concerns that are inconvenient to express...

After realizing this, Huan Ba ​​had no choice but to suppress the discontent on his face like Tian Lubo;
But looking in the tent, Huan Ba ​​finally couldn't hold back the impulse, and stood out a little resentfully, who were all dressed in armor, with general seals on their waists, but with blank expressions written on their faces.

"Your Majesty!"

He bowed to Liu Bi indignantly, and when everyone in the tent raised their heads one after another, Tian Lubo's obviously deliberate light cough came from Huan Ba's ear.

However, on the throne, King Wu Liu Bi looked at the general Huan Ba ​​in front of him, but turned his head meaningfully, and looked at Tian Lubo beside him.

After staring at Tian Lubo for a long time, Liu Bi smiled and turned around to look at Huan Ba ​​in front of him.

"General Huan, do you have any suggestions?"

Hearing this question, Huan Ba ​​raised his head hummingly, and was about to speak when he saw Liu Bi beside him, and Tian Lubo shook his head to himself again;
Looking at him, there is an unprecedented sense of warning...

"To the king."

Sensing Tian Lubo's intention, Huan Ba ​​thought over and over again, but finally gave up his plan.

Trying to suppress the anger in his heart, he raised his head and looked at Wu Wang Liu Bi in front of him.

"Since Your Majesty believes that the army should march westward with all its strength, then the General believes that the most important point is to be fast!"

"—Right now, Chang'an has dispatched three armies to firmly control King Zhao in the north, Wuguan in the south, and Xingyang-Aocang behind Suiyang City."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before Chang'an Chaotang will send out the fourth, the main force, to march towards Suiyang."

"The army of our country of Wu is mostly infantry, and the infantry is good at fighting in dangerous places;"

"On the other hand, the army of the Chang'an court is mostly chariots and riders, and they are better at fighting on flat ground."

"Therefore, Your Majesty should immediately send troops to Hangu Pass. It is not necessary and definitely not to attack the cities along the way."

"Bypass all the cities along the way, drive straight in, try to reach Suiyang as quickly as possible, and break through Suiyang as soon as possible!"

Seeing that Huan Ba ​​didn't propose to divide the troops, but gave his own suggestion on the premise of "the whole army marching westward", Tian Lubo couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Even Wu Wang Liu Bi showed great interest on his face and encouraged Huan Ba ​​to continue talking.

Seeing that Huan Ba ​​adjusted his breathing a bit, he continued: "Breaking Suiyang, the matter is considered half successful."

"Then, Your Majesty should continue to march westward, striving to occupy Luoyang's arsenal, occupying the rice millet in Ao Cang, and relying on the danger of the mountains and rivers, to command the princes of all walks of life."

"In this way, even if the king has not yet entered the customs, the world has already calmed down."

"On the other hand, if your majesty ordered the army to march slowly and attack the cities along the way one by one, then as soon as the chariots from the court arrive and drive into the flat fields of Liang and Chu, I am afraid that your majesty will never be able to succeed again. ..."

Following Huan Ba's words, a thoughtful look appeared on Wu Wang Liu Bi's face.

But what General Tian Lubo, General Huan Ba, and even King Wu Liu Bi did not expect was that the generals who had never spoken before would stand up at this moment.

"Your Majesty can't!"

Suddenly there was a shout in the tent, which attracted Liu Bixun's reputation, and he saw several elderly 'generals' walking out of the crowd.

When they came to Liu Bi's side, those veterans still turned their heads and gave Huan Ba ​​a contemptuous look.

"From the state of Chu to the state of Liang, the king must capture all the cities along the way!"

"Because only in this way, the grain and grass stored in the Wu country can be sent to the front line continuously, so that the king does not have to worry about the problem of grain and grass."

"If according to General Huan's statement, the king didn't attack the city along the way, then the army will lose all the food and grass supplies when they reach the city of Suiyang!"

"Once we fail to break through Suiyang, and fail to obtain the food and grass in Suiyang City, the army will surely collapse!"

"There is no supply of food and grass, and the soldiers can't even eat enough to eat. How can they attack Suiyang City?"

Saying that, the veteran did not forget to turn his head again, and snorted coldly at Huan Ba.

"—Military and national affairs are not child's play!"

"In order to ensure that the food road is unimpeded, and at the same time, in order to obtain more troops, the king must attack every city along the way!"

"As for General Huanba, he is just a brat, a young man who showed his sharpness, so he came up with such a plan;"

"How can people who don't even know the importance of grain and food know the general trend of the world?"

Hearing that those few veterans who didn't understand military at all uttered contemptuous words one after another, Huan Ba, who had suppressed the anger in his chest, suddenly became a little excited!

After yelling and cursing one after another, the young Huan Ba ​​quarreled with those gray-haired veterans in front of Wu Wang Liu Bi, Crown Prince Liu Ju, and General Tian Lubo.

In Liu Bi's eyes, Huan Ba's actions further confirmed the statement that "Huan Ba ​​was young and frivolous"...
"All right!"

"The widow, it has been decided."

"——The army will move out immediately and head west!"

Seeing Liu Bi sighed, he called to stop the quarrel in the tent, and then his eyes fell on Huan Ba, who was still blushing in front of him.

"The city passing by along the way..."

"——one will not fall, and all will be attacked!"

　Unsurprisingly, at 20:00, the power went out again.
