The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 372

"The last general Chang Yuchun has met His Majesty!"

Liu Bianxuan Chang Yuchun went to the hall, and after a while, Chang Yuchun, who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, came to the hall and bowed to Liu Bian.

"Hmm!" Liu Bian looked at Chang Yuchun and saw that Chang Yuchun was eight feet five inches tall, with a hulking waist. Although his appearance was rough, his brows were full of wisdom, and he knew etiquette so well. The scene was also calm, Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction and praised sincerely: "He is really a strange man, don't be too polite, he is flat!"

Chang Yuchun took a deep breath, straightened his waist and cupped his hands to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"This time you led [-] troops to raid Mei County and captured Liu Fanpangxi of Yizhou! I will reward you for your merits, but I want to hear your thoughts, how did you come up with the idea of ​​sending troops? What about Mei County?" Liu Bian looked at Chang Yuchun and asked.

Liu Bian naturally knew Chang Yuchun's ability, needless to say about his military strength, he was the number one general in the early Ming Dynasty, but Chang Yuchun's commander was equally outstanding, only inferior to Xu Da in that era.Liu Bian wanted to reuse Chang Yuchun, but relying on the merit of capturing Liu Fan alone was not enough, so Liu Bian wanted Chang Yuchun to show his talent, and talk about his strategic thinking in front of these civil and military personnel.

If he can convince the officials, with this credit, it is not impossible for Liu Bian to improve Chang Yuchun a bit.

After listening to Liu Bian's words, the officials also understood that Liu Bian wanted to see Chang Yuchun's ability.Chang Yuchun also understood that Liu Bian wanted to test himself, and his expression was a little excited, and he cupped his hands immediately and said: "Your Majesty, a man is alive, he should make contributions, and eventually he will have a talent, so he can't bear the loneliness. Although your majesty is eager for talents, However, there is no guarantee that every talent can be used to the fullest, so this time, the last general decided to send troops to Mei County on his own initiative, in order to win His Majesty's favor!"

The motive and purpose of Chang Yuchun's sending troops to Mei County was to make meritorious deeds. Although these words were practical, they were spoken out of the mouth of a bright and aboveboard man like Chang Yuchun.The general has a lot of talent, but it's a pity that His Majesty didn't discover it and reuse it for me, so the general can only find opportunities to make meritorious service by himself.

Chang Yuchun told the truth, Liu Bian naturally wouldn't be angry, nodded and smiled and said: "That's right, a man should aim to make meritorious deeds when he is alive, so this trip is worthwhile. I have 10,000+ soldiers under my command, and it is inevitable that some talents cannot be reused. Unavoidable! But you have never had my permission to take the initiative to attack, and although you are courageous, are you not afraid of losing your troops and losing your generals if you lose the battle?"

"Your Majesty, please listen to the general's details!" Chang Yuchun arched his hands and said, "Your Majesty has deployed troops in Chang'an for more than a month, secretly deploying troops and horses. It is already obvious that Liu Yan's army was defeated in Luoyang! It's just that Liu Yan's army was defeated, but the battlefield is still in danger. But in Chang'an City, His Majesty is a benevolent king, and he will not sit back and watch a battle in the city and harm the people. Therefore, although Liu Yan's army is defeated, his brigade will definitely escape from Chang'an! Setting up an ambush on the way to escape will definitely expand the results of the battle, but after all, time is running out, and His Majesty's temporary deployment of troops is not enough to set up an ambush, so the last general made his own proposal and went to occupy Mei County to cut off Liu Yan's army retreat!"

As soon as Chang Yuchun's words came out, many civil and military personnel under his command looked sideways, because Chang Yuchun's words perfectly expressed his strategic vision.Most of the generals Yang Yansi, Xue Andu, and Xiahou brothers on the field did not have this strategic vision.

At the beginning, Liu Bian naturally wanted to cut off the retreat of Liu Yan's army, but there was not enough time and insufficient troops, so this plan was abandoned.Unexpectedly, Chang Yuchun completed it with only 3000 people.

Liu Bian looked at Wang Meng and the others, only to see that Wang Meng, Di Renjie and the others nodded in satisfaction. Facts have proved that Chang Yuchun's achievement was not due to luck, but with his own strategic vision.And Chang Yuchun had such insights, he immediately compared His Highness and generals.

Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction and looked at Chang Yuchun, saying: "Chang Yuchun's name of [-] is really not a boast. You can think of cutting off the retreat of Liu Yan's army and taking down Mei County with [-] troops, which is enough to show You are extraordinary. Then I will test you. Now that there are many great Han princes, and I have the intention to wipe out the princes from all walks of life, you can tell me how to do it!"

"Then the general will show his shame!" Chang Yuchun arched his hands and organized his words before he said: "Now His Majesty sits in Guanzhong, Luoyang Bingzhou and half of Liangzhou! Although Bingzhou has been stable for several years, it is barren and not enough To support the war, there is even Ran Minxiong who rejects Hetao. With Temujin watching, Bingzhou can only send troops to defend and develop the people's livelihood. At important moments, they can only use partial divisions, not Dadong swordsmen!"

"And the Mongols invaded Liangzhou again. Although General Cao has sent troops to resist, but the Mongols occupy the Western Regions. Right now, they can only send heavy troops to garrison. It is estimated that Liangzhou will not be stable in the next few years!"

"Luoyang is the capital of His Majesty, but Yuan Shao, Zhao Kuangyin and his like are all around. Although they are enemies now, if His Majesty sends troops to either side, I am afraid they will unite to resist His Majesty. Attacking Yuan Shao, Zhao Kuangyin will move, attack Zhao Kuangyin Therefore, Luoyang can’t use swords rashly! Liu Yan of Yizhou in the south of Chang’an may not have the desire to invade after this battle. However, the road to Shu is difficult, and it’s not a good time for Your Majesty to enter Yizhou!”

As soon as Chang Yuchun said this, all the generals shook their heads, only Wang Meng, Di Renjie and other wise men nodded in approval.Liu Bian said with a smile: "You said that Liangzhou and Bingzhou are mainly defending. Luoyang is a country that cannot use troops lightly, and Chang'an soldiers and horses cannot attack Yizhou. Then tell me, which princes should I attack?"

"Chang'an and Luoyang are connected by Hangu Pass. There are more than 500 million people. Luoyang cannot be moved lightly, but you can use Luoyang's strength to Chang'an. Although Chang'an cannot move Yizhou, you can send troops out of Wuguan to attack Yuan Shu!" Chang Yuchun cupped his hands.

"Strike Yuan Shu?" Liu Bian frowned, pretending not to know and chuckled, "Yuan Shu is powerful, occupying Nanyang Yuzhou and other affluent places, and has 30 million armored soldiers under his command, which is not much stronger than mine. Why do you Do you advocate attacking Yuan Shu?"

Chang Yuchun replied: "Your Majesty has three points to attack Yuan Shu, and there are three points to win!"

"What must be done? What must be won?" Liu Bian asked with a smile.

"Three things must be done. Firstly, when Your Majesty attacked Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu secretly swept away the food, grass and supplies of the princes. The heart of disobedience has been revealed! Second, after Yuan Shu returned to Nanyang, he conquered the east and west, and expanded his strength without authorization. It also shows his disobedience. Thirdly, Yuan Shu's acquisition of these three lands not only failed to benefit the people, but also extorted them violently, and the people suffered unspeakably! If His Majesty does not send troops, I am afraid that the hearts of the people in this rich land will no longer be directed towards His Majesty. If some princes send troops ahead of time, Yuan Shu, The people will help others! With these three points, Your Majesty must attack Yuan Shu first!"

Liu Bian nodded and said, "What about the three sure wins?"

"Your Majesty uses a wise and benevolent army to attack non-subjects, which is a victory of the time. Your Majesty sent troops to Wuguan, and the strength was gathered into one, while Yuan Shu's troops were scattered, and the deployment was far from what your Majesty wanted. He could attack and defend, and it was a victory of geographical advantage! In recent years, Yuan Shu When he came to conquer various places, the princes and people hated him endlessly, if Your Majesty attacks Yuan Shu, the people will all open the city to welcome him, this is the victory of human harmony!"

"Your Majesty has these three things to fight, and when the weather is right, the people and the people help each other, you must send troops, Yuan Shu can't do it!" Chang Yuchun clasped his hands and looked at Liu Bian after finishing speaking.

After Chang Yuchun finished speaking, all the generals in the palace looked at him in amazement at this time, Xue An stared at Chang Yuchun in dumbfounded and said: "Old Chang, I didn't expect you to have such insight? If I had known that you were not bragging, I should have recommended you to His Majesty long ago!"

All civil servants looked at Chang Yuchun and praised him.Liu Bian laughed and said: "Haha, well said, you have to fight three things, if you say three things you must win, I won't be able to beat Yuan Shu even if I don't, what do you think?"

Wang Meng first cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think what Chang Xiaowei said is reasonable. The strategy that Your Majesty and I made at the beginning was to contain the Central Plains by forming a knot of horns, and Chang'an sent troops to Wuguan. If it weren't for the Chang'an Rebellion, I'm afraid we have sent troops to attack Yuan Shu!"

"That's right, the strength of Yuan Shao in Hebei and Zhao Kuangyin in Yanzhou should not be underestimated. Although His Majesty has a plan, once he sends troops, he will be deeply involved. In a short time, they can only fight each other and wait for the opportunity. Yuan Shu is currently raging in Huainan, and there is no help. Seemingly powerful, but actually strong on the outside! Now the only option is to attack Yuan Shu!" Di Renjie also cupped his hands.

Everyone was speaking, only Guo Jia was silent, Liu Bian looked at Guo Jia and said with a smile: "What about filial piety? What's your opinion?"

"The words have been finished by the adults, and His Majesty has also decided to attack Yuan Shu in his heart. What else can I say? But since Your Majesty has decided to attack Yuan Shu, I can only talk about the future direction!" Guo Jia shook his head and smiled.

"Well, let's hear it!"

"Use the power of Chang'an and Luoyang to attack Wuguan and attack Nanyang, cut off Yuan Shu, and use Luoyang, Qingzhou, and Youzhou to check and balance Yuan Shao and Zhao Kuangyin! Wait for the time to settle Hebei, and gradually level the Central Plains!" Guo Jia said with his hands clasped.

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Liu Bian's thoughts were raging. Compared with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao now occupies Jizhou, which is number one in the world, and Zhao Kuangyin occupies Yanzhou. Zhao Kuangyin's defeat of Yuan Shao last year has proved his strength.Although these two princes have only one enemy in one state, they are indeed the most troublesome.Taking Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, or even Luoyang to attack alone is not enough to calm down.And once united, Zhao Kuangyin and Yuan Shao will also unite.At that time, Hebei will fall into the quagmire, and the outcome is still unknown.

Use Luoyang Qingzhou to check and balance Zhao Kuangyin and Yuan Shao so that they cannot act rashly.In concentrating wealth, first take Nanyang, a rich place, and slowly cut off Yuan Shu.When the time comes to be surrounded on all sides, Yuan Shao and Zhao Kuangyin will be nothing to worry about.

Liu Bian pondered for a moment and understood the strategy of unifying the great Han. Then he looked at Chang Yuchun and said, "Chang Yuchun, since you proposed to attack Yuan Shu, how about I let you be the vanguard?"

"The last general is willing to go to the battle first for His Majesty, and he will not hesitate to die!"

"Okay! Chang Yuchun listens to the seal! I will make you a partial general and go to Wuguan to replace Yang Zaixing! Now Wuguan has 3 soldiers and horses. Yuan Shu is raging in Nanyang. Tens of thousands of people have fled to Wuguan in recent years. How can you be here?" Among them, it is flat and strong, and the army has expanded to [-]! Train well, and when everything in Chang'an is settled, I will make you the vanguard to attack Yuan Shu!" Liu Bian said seriously.

Originally, Chang'an had more than [-] soldiers and horses, and they were preparing to attack Yuan Shu. Only when the great enemy of Mongolia came, Cao Cao and others would also be stationed in the Longxi area all day long.Its resident soldiers and horses also cost [-].As for Xiegu and Meridian Valley, additional troops should be sent to guard against Yizhou.If you want to attack Yuan Shu, you can only expand your army now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! It's just that the strength of the last general alone is not negligible, and please Your Majesty choose a lieutenant general for the last general to assist him!" Chang Yuchun cupped his hands.

"Deputy general?" Liu Bian pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Yes, there was a man who was captured by a brave man in the former Riyi Prefecture's raid on Chang'an, how about I send him to be your deputy general?"

Gan Ning, the person Liu Bian thought of, was naturally the future general of the Eastern Wu, Gan Ning, Gan Xingba.Although Gan Ning didn't want to surrender to Liu Bian before, with the book, Gan Ning knew that the aristocratic family could not stop Liu Bian's path to hegemony, and he was willing to surrender to Liu Bian.
