The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 535 Yizhou Defense
Threats and lures, plus Zhang Song's Zhang family and several families dragged into the water by Zhang Song betrayed the Yizhou clan interest group, other clans had no choice but to bow their heads, but Chen Ziming did not fight to the end. As long as these clans are obedient, don't When doing things, the safety of life and property can still be guaranteed.

"Second brother, there are many famous generals in Yizhou, so don't miss them. Especially Yan Yan and Zhang Ren are rare handsome talents. Second brother should take more care." Chen Ziming threw the reorganization of the Yizhou army to Guan Yu. It is professional.

And for the soldiers, they trust generals like Guan Yu more, and they have more common language. Guan Yu goes out, and it is better for the reorganization of the Yizhou army and the recruitment of generals.

After discussing with Guan Yu for a while, they probably decided on the reorganization of Yizhou soldiers and horses, and the two separated. During this trip to Yizhou, Chen Ziming was in charge and Guan Yu was in charge of the army. Yizhou affairs must be handled in the shortest possible time.

"teacher."

Zhuge Liang respectfully called Chen Ziming a teacher, which made Chen Ziming very pleased. With such a student like Niu Shisan, he would wake up with a smile in his dreams, but Chen Ziming didn't want to show it.

Looking at Zhuge Liang who was already as tall as him in front of him, he nodded slightly, patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder lightly, and said, "That's right, you and Shi Yuan are already qualified to be alone."

"The teacher taught well." Zhuge Liang bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

Chen Ziming waved his hand and said, "Don't come here. This is the result of your talents and personal efforts. Especially you, whether it is the battle of Hanzhong or the battle of Yizhou, you performed very well."

Chen Ziming chatted with Zhuge Liang for a while, and Chen Ziming said: "Yizhou is divided and occupied by us and Cao Cao. The bordering land is safe to defend. What do you think of Yizhou's defense?"

The fertile Chengdu Plain was divided into two by Liu Bei and Cao Cao. There was no danger to defend the entire plain. It was too difficult to defend, and it was almost impossible to completely isolate the enemy.

"Rely on the city to stick to the Quartet, send out rangers to patrol everywhere, and the dark guards will closely monitor the mobilization of Cao's army. The army is behind, waiting for the opportunity to move." Zhuge Liang quickly came up with a defense plan.

After hearing this, Chen Ziming nodded slightly and said, "That's right, connect with one point, monitor the overall situation, and stop with silence."

"Where is the best place to defend Yizhou?" Yizhou must not all fall into Cao Cao's hands, especially the dangerous passes in the north. Once all the dangerous passes in the north fall into Cao Cao's hands, it will be ten times more difficult for Liu Bei to completely eliminate Cao Cao.

The southern part of Yizhou is occupied by Cao Cao, so it is of little use. After all, Liu Bei can attack Cao Cao from the north at any time, but consumes countless Cao Cao's troops, so the defense of Yizhou's north must not be taken lightly.

After hearing what Chen Ziming said, Zhuge Liang said firmly, "Hanzhong."

"It seems that you have a lot of experience in Yizhou's defense." Chen Ziming was very satisfied with Zhuge Liang's answer. Now that the Chengdu Plain is divided between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, it can be said that Yizhou's defense system will be completely broken.

However, the dangerous pass in the north of Yizhou is firmly in the hands of Liu Bei. It is almost impossible for Cao Cao to capture the entire Yizhou, but Hanzhong is the weakness of Yizhou. Once Hanzhong is captured by Cao Cao, Cao Cao can cut off Yizhou and Liangzhou The connection of the Yizhou northern checkpoint is isolated.

It is almost impossible to defend the isolated checkpoints. Just cutting off the food and grass in the checkpoints can make those dangerous checkpoints self-defeating.

If this is the case, it is almost impossible to defend the northern part of Yizhou, so if Cao Cao wants to capture the northern part of Yizhou, then Hanzhong must bear the brunt of it. With Zhuge Liang's talent, he can see this, which is not what Chen Ziming expected.

"Guarding Yizhou, who can take on this important task?" Chen Ziming asked again, but this was not to test Zhuge Liang, but to ask Zhuge Liang's opinion sincerely, Zhuge Liang's talent opinion was confirmed, and the situation in Yizhou, Zhuge Liang was much clearer than Chen Ziming many.

After hearing Chen Ziming's question, Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and then said: "The one who can defend Yizhou is General Huang Zhong, and the one who can defend Hanzhong is General Qu Yi."

"How many soldiers and horses?" Chen Ziming asked Zhuge Liang again.

Zhuge Liang seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and immediately said: "If there is no big war, [-] in Yizhou and [-] in Hanzhong will be sufficient."

Chen Ziming was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "If Cao's army invades in a large scale, how many troops will be needed to protect Yizhou without worries?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and then said: "If Cao's army invades aggressively, the defenders of Yizhou should abandon the flat land and retreat to the northern pass, and defend according to the danger. Although the land of Hanzhong is dangerous, it must be done. If the enemy is broken, we should increase our troops according to the number of enemy troops, so as to keep Hanzhong safe."

After Chen Ziming heard this, he nodded in satisfaction and said: "The military department is preparing to reform the military again, and it is just to take this opportunity to divide the Huangzhong Army into two, with [-] guarding Yizhou and [-] guarding Hanzhong. Hanzhong is of great importance. You should go to Hanzhong and General Quyi defend Hanzhong together."

Zhuge Liang knows Yizhou and the Han people well, and he is the best candidate to guard Hanzhong and Yizhou. The military reform has already been put on the agenda. When the situation in Yizhou settles down and the political reform is completed, the military reform will begin. It doesn’t hurt to tell Zhuge Liang .

"Hanzhong still needs someone to help it. Do you have someone to choose?" Hanzhong has Qu Yi leading the army, Zhuge Liang is planning, and Liangzhou is helping. It should be no problem, but Yizhou can't rely on Huang Zhong alone. A capable strategist.

Zhuge Liang hesitated slightly, and then said: "A few days ago, I met a man by chance and talked about it in detail. He is quite talented and can take on this important task."

"Oh?" When Chen Ziming heard this, he immediately became interested. You must know that Zhuge Liang's vision is very high, and it is not ordinary talent that can make Zhuge Liang evaluate so highly, so he immediately asked: "Who is so in your eyes? "

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said: "The grandson of the famous scholar Fazheng, named Fazheng, styled Xiaozhi, has good friends with Zhang Song and Meng Da. He has contributed a lot to the plan for Yizhou this time. He conspired to let Zhang Song transfer the guards at the northern pass Going to Wenshan, convincing Meng Da to join the Great Han, and getting Zhang Song to persuade Liu Zhang to sacrifice the city and surrender, the contribution is indispensable."

"It's him." Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Chen Ziming was slightly taken aback. He should have thought that although Yizhou has a large number of talents, the only one who might fall into Zhuge Liang's eyes is Fazheng, a top counselor.

Fazheng is a talent, and it is enough to assist Huang Zhong in guarding Yizhou, but Fazheng was born in the Yizhou clan and represents the interests of the Yizhou clan. Letting him stay in Yizhou may not be good for Liu Bei's control of Yizhou. Chen Ziming is a bit embarrassed, but A more suitable candidate than Fazheng could not be found.

"I'll make a decision after I meet this person." Chen Ziming didn't rush to make a decision. The defense of Yizhou is very important. Once Liu Bei attacks Cao Cao in an all-round way in the future, Yizhou will definitely send troops. There is no problem with Fa Zheng's ability, but it must be enough Loyalty will do.
