The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 293 Arrangement of the Army
Chapter [-] Army Arrangement
"Your Majesty, Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng in Liangzhou, sent an envoy to Chengdu to say that Cao Cao killed his father, and Ma Chao wanted to raise troops to avenge his death. If His Majesty is willing to send troops to help, after his great revenge is avenged, he will lead Liangzhou to serve His Majesty." One day, when Liu Zhang, who became the emperor, was playing with his concubine, the ministers Huang Quan and Li Hui came to see him.

"Cao Cao is really a traitor." Liu Zhang was in a bad mood when he was disturbed by Huang Quan. After hearing Huang Quan's words, he scolded Cao Cao and asked Huang Quan: "Although Cao Cao respects you as the emperor, he doesn't listen to you." Gu Zhi commanded me. At the beginning, I listened to your words and wanted to recruit Ma Teng to Chengdu, but Cao Cao not only refused to let Ma Teng come, but now he is killing him. Such a reckless person, I can let him alone, you and others Is there a good strategy?"

"Your Majesty, now that Cao Cao is powerful, Ma Chao is by no means his enemy, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong does not listen to His Majesty's orders and blocks the way for His Majesty to send troops. There is nothing we can do about the battle between Ma Chao and Cao Cao." Huang Quan said tactfully to Liu Zhang , although you are the emperor, you are far behind Cao Cao. It is good if people don't come to beat you, but you still want to deal with Cao Cao.

Besides, you can't even deal with Zhang Lu at your door, let alone participate in the battle of princes like Cao Cao. If Cao Cao was not restrained by Liu Bei, it's hard to say whether Liu Zhang has the final say in Yizhou now.

"Your Majesty, Cao Cao first attacked Liu Biao and then killed Ma Teng. He didn't pay attention to His Majesty at all. His Majesty ordered punishment immediately." Li Hui spoke at this time, but he refused to raise the issue of troops. They had no ability to send troops at all, but as the emperor , I still have to express my own opinions and brush up my sense of existence.

"Well, very good. You immediately draw up an order to reprimand Cao Cao and fine him half a year's salary." After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he turned and continued to look for his concubine, leaving Huang Quan and Li Hui in a daze.

"Hey!" Huang Quan shook his head, sighed and left without doing anything to order Cao Cao to be punished.Now you, Liu Zhang, can punish Cao Cao. Besides, after Liu Zhang became the emperor, did you give Cao Cao a salary, and punish him with a half-year salary, which is nonsense.

The matter of Ma Chao asking Liu Zhang for help was left alone, but the envoy Ma Chao sent to Linzi made a breakthrough.

Liu Bei personally received the envoy of Ma Chao, and expressed his deep sorrow for Ma Teng's murder. revenge.

After sending away Ma Chao's envoy, Liu Bei immediately called everyone to discuss the matter.

"Ma Chao is really a tiger general. He broke through Tongguan in two days, and now he is in Chang'an, making Cao Cao in a hurry." Ma Chao's attack on Cao Cao made everyone smile, especially many generals admired Ma Chao. They knew how powerful Cao Cao was. Yes, Cao Cao has a lot of generals in his hands, but Ma Chao is almost at Cao Cao's door.

"I have agreed to Ma Chao's request to send troops to attack Cao Cao and help Ma Chao avenge his father's death, but now that the Huns are coming, I can't mobilize many troops." Liu Bei has long been angry with Chen Ziming, and it is not the last time to destroy Cao Cao. At a good time, when the Xiongnu came to restrain him, Cao Cao's strength came, and it doesn't mean that he can be destroyed if he is destroyed.

"Your Majesty." Jia Xu came out and said, "Although Ma Chao won for a while, Cao Cao reacted and mobilized a large army. Ma Chao would be defeated. It was Cao Cao who could take advantage of the situation and lead his troops into Liangzhou."

"At this time, Liangzhou's soldiers and horses are all outside Chang'an, and Liangzhou is empty. Your Majesty can send people to attack Fengling County, and then enter Liangzhou Anding County from Fengling County, and then occupy Fufeng County, so that Cao Cao can be blocked in Liangzhou. Otherwise, Your Majesty can get all the land of Liangzhou."

What Jia Xu said was exactly what Chen Ziming told Liu Bei about the strategy of Liangzhou. As long as Fengling County was captured, the empty Liangzhou would be completely defenseless in front of Liu Bei's army.However, the difference with Chen Ziming's plan is that Chen Ziming's plan is that Cao Cao defeats Ma Chao first, and after the soldiers and horses enter Liangzhou, Liu Bei will attack again. It is not that Ma Chao sent troops to take Liangzhou before he was defeated.

"I am allied with Ma Chao, and I can take advantage of the danger and seize his land. Don't talk about it again." Sure enough, as Chen Ziming expected, before Ma Chao was defeated, the possibility of Liu Bei sending troops to attack Liangzhou was too small.

"Your Majesty, according to secret reports from the secret guards, most of Cao Ren's troops in Yanzhou have been mobilized. The intention is to contain His Majesty's troops. Xiahouyuan's troops in Yuzhou also intend to approach Peijun. Outside of Xuzhou. Now Xuzhou, Taishan County, and Jizhou's soldiers and horses all need to guard against Cao Cao and Sun Ce's soldiers and horses, and they must not move lightly. The armies in the north are restrained by the Xiongnu, and there are not many troops to mobilize now." Chen Gong pointed out that Liu Bei is currently facing To be honest, Cao Cao and Sun Ce are not fuel-efficient lamps. Unless Liu Bei transfers the troops of Langya Zhang Ji and Linzi Chen Dao, it is impossible to pose a threat to Cao Cao.

The Langya Zhangji Department is the reserve team of various troops in Xuzhou. If there is a change, it needs to support the various groups at any time. The [-] soldiers and horses that Chen arrived in Linzi can be said to be Liu Bei's Yulin Army.

Xu Huang's army confronts Jiangdong's army, Zhang Jai's army confronts Xiahouyuan's army, Pan Zhang's army is stationed in Taishan County, where the Qingzhou gate is located, and there is absolutely no room for loss. The soldiers and horses sitting in Hedong directly faced Cao Cao's soldiers and horses. Although Cao Cao personally conquered Ma Chao, there were many soldiers and horses left behind.

The remaining Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao wanted to protect Bingzhou and Youzhou against the 20 soldiers of the Xiongnu, and Li Yan's [-] soldiers and horses were stationed in Jizhou, which was the northernmost frontier of Liu Bei's territory. There are also many foreign races, and they must not be moved lightly.

Calculated in this way, Liu Bei can only use 20 navy, but Cao Cao's forces penetrated into the interior, which is not within the scope of the navy's operations, and the navy is exploring new areas, and is also preparing for the southern conquest of Sun Ce. mobilized.

Now, as Liu Bei said, after Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao finished cleaning up the Xiongnu, they can mobilize troops and horses to deal with Cao Cao. Zhang Ji's department can be mobilized at any time, but Chen Ziming firmly opposes the mobilization of Zhang Ji's department. The location of the economy is too important.

Langya County where Zhang Ji is located is the necessary place for Xuzhou to enter Qingzhou. Outside of Xuzhou, Sun Ce and Cao Cao each hoarded [-] soldiers and horses. To be able to tell clearly about victory or defeat, if Xu Huang and Zhang Jaw's army were to be wiped out, Zhang Ji's army would be the last barrier.

Langya County where Zhang Ji is located, Taishan County where Pan Zhang is, and Qinghe County where Zangba is located are the defense lines Chen Ziming built for Qingzhou. .
