Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 826 Shu Han Alliance?
Liu Bei is dead!

After returning to Chang'an after teaching the noble daughter from the Western Regions, Wang Hou has not waited for Wang Hou to start presiding over the work!Such news came from Kanto. At this time, it was only June of the first year of Huangchu after Cao Pi became emperor, and it was only three months before Liu Bei became emperor.

It was Lu Xun in history who defeated Liu Bei, and there was also Huo Gong, but the well-known Huoshao joint camp Qibaili is not that exaggerated.

First of all, Liu Bei also made the mistake of Yang Hao who commanded the Sarhu War. The Shu army was actually not strong. The elite Jingzhou army was also consumed during Guan Yu's Northern Expedition. Including the Jingzhou army, the Shu army was only 3.

And led by Lu Xun, there were also [-] Wu troops to fight against.

The one who weighed down the balance of power was the Wuxi barbarian king Sha Moke near Jingzhou who led [-] troops to join the Shu army, which gave Liu Bei a slight advantage in strength.

Then Liu Bei's army, which was not abundant at all, was divided into three divisions. Huang Quan's division went northward for more than 300 miles to defend the Wei State along the Yangtze River. The Chinese army was also divided into several parts, dragged out for hundreds of miles, and dozens of camps were set up.

Such an array indeed shows their strength, but it also disperses their offensive strength, and the Shu army has a fatal flaw, the navy is not strong!
The best strategy for Shu to fight against Wu is to go down the river and go straight into the hinterland of Wu. When Yanggu destroyed Wu in later generations, the Jin army drove straight in and defeated Wu's defense, but the most elite sailors of Shu were Guan Yu's troops. , Guan Yu's subordinates withered again during the Northern Expedition, and there were no elite sailors in Bashu.

The Shu army doesn't have any elite sailors, but the Wu army does. Except for being beaten by Wang Hou on the sea, there are really no opponents in this era. Liu Bei failed to go down the river. In Zhao's Battle of Changping, a navy marched up the river, blocking the back of the Shu army, and the main force rushed forward to Liu Bei's front camp, and the Wu army also had artifacts, cannons!

I don’t know if it was captured during the Chibi War or from a certain Xianbei pirate king Lu Fei. In addition to the artillery, the tactics of the Shu army were also copied during the Battle of Dingjun Mountain. Wang Hou’s loess and high slope rapeseed fields are not only Changing the dining table of the Chinese people also changed the form of war.

A few bronze cannons blasted, followed by the Danyang soldiers who were fighting with swords and shields, and the Shanyue soldiers rushed up carrying rapeseed oil, flinging around, and setting the fire on fire, the Shu army with thousands of people in the front was in chaos. Withdrew backwards like a fly, but the Wu army marched all the way, and before the second battalion could sort out the defeated soldiers, they rushed to the door again.

Liu Bei retreated all the way to Huting, and was stopped by the Wu army. At least tens of thousands of Shu troops died in this battle. Ma Liang, Zhang Nan and more than a dozen civil servants and generals died in the battle. Even Liu Bei himself was shot in the battlefield. This time, in history The famous Baidicheng Tuogu did not show up, and had just retreated to Yiting. Liu Bei had already died of his injuries and passed away.

I don't know if he said the famous last words before he died: don't do evil because it is small, don't do good because it is small!
This battle successfully turned the Shuhan Empire into the weakest empire among the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty.

However, whether the Shu Han is strong or weak is not a matter of Wang Hou's fart for the time being. Another major international event is that Jin followed the news of Liu Bei's death to Chang'an.

"What? Zhuge Liang wants to form an alliance with me?"

After quickly supporting Liu Chan to succeed him in Chengdu as the successor of the Shu Han, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han, actually sent an invitation to Chang'an for an alliance!
This year is different from later generations. It’s not like the leaders of the two countries will come to a state visit every now and then, especially more than three months ago, the Shu Han Emperor Liu Bei accused the Wei Emperor Cao Pi of being a murderer, a traitor, and a usurper. Zhuge Liang was busy trying to form an alliance with Shu Han's old enemy, which was indeed beyond expectations. Seeing Wang Houman's stunned expression, Zhuge Ying, the confidential secretary beside him, couldn't help shaking her head in astonishment.

"This old thief is full of tricks. Before Liu Bei was buried, he wanted to make an alliance with you, my lord. Maybe it was because he was hiding a knife in his smile, and he was going to reject the envoy of Shu?"

"No! Promise him!"

Holding the mustache on his chin for a moment, Wang Hou nodded heavily, and then shook his head like a madman.

"However, this seat only agrees to meet with the Shu Han, but not to form an alliance with the Shu Han! And where the alliance will be, this seat has the final say!"

"My subordinate understands!"

Holding the official document, Zhuge Ying went out the door in an exceptionally graceful manner.

If you want to talk about the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the most successful speculators are the Sima family, and the most successful investors are the Zhuge family in Langya. , the eggs are not empty.

Moreover, the three Zhuge families are extremely loyal to their lord's regime. For example, this girl is loyal during the day and has to be loyal at night.

But now the Shu Han is dead and the emperor has lost Jingzhou. In the diplomatic environment, the Shu Han blamed Cao Wei in the north and blamed Sun Wu in the east. Internally, it can be called dangerous. !
What if Brother Zhu is also called his subordinate?Holding his chin, Wang Hou couldn't help but crooked.

…………

The location of the negotiation was naturally in front of Wang Hou's house, which was located in Chencang, at the foot of Baoji Mountain!Facing the narrow and long canyon of Chencang Road, it was Wang Hou's fort, with a hundred large artillery pieces weighing one ton staring down.

For the first time, the Liangzhou Corps has shown its face since it became an army. A brigade of 5000 people on foot and cavalry looked south.

It is also the same style as Cao Duzhu in the Longmen Inn, several people raised their shoulders, wearing mahogany high crowns, and wearing a large black robe embroidered with clouds and dragons, Wang Hou himself is also high and full of momentum. , and there are two umbrellas beside him, that style is really full of style!

On the other side of Chen Cang's old road, as the time for the meeting approached, the sound of heavy footsteps came gradually.

The lack of horses in Bashu is a real shortage. Even if the most elite troops in Sichuan were brought to the alliance, the cavalry in the front row did not exceed a thousand. However, Wang Hou stretched out his binoculars and looked at the troops behind the Shu army. Can't help but straighten up.

The legendary wooden cows and horses, the wood is built into an extraordinarily delicate skeleton, pulled by four soldiers, the seemingly bulky wood follows the traction, and the skeleton supports the front legs of the cow to move back and forth. These wooden cows are so large that One is more than two meters high, and on the back of the ox is, as always, Zhuge Liang's housekeeping skill, a giant Zhuge Liannu.

Good guy, if this thing is used to transport goods, it can save a lot of money and food!
Looking at other people's scientific and technological achievements, Wang Hou's eyes immediately glistened with greed!
