The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 66 Zhuge Qiao's Proposal
Zhuge Qiao's proposal
Liu Bei stared blankly at Zhuge Qiao. He couldn't believe that the 17-year-old boy in front of him could have such an understanding. Using Sun Wu's art of war, he could completely understand the situation on the battlefield. Think about him again. All the feats made before, everything seems so natural.

"Bo Song, did the Prime Minister teach you this?" Liu Bei walked up to Zhuge Qiao and helped him up, still asking in disbelief.

"It wasn't taught by my father. If it was taught by my father, these words will be ten times stronger than Mo." Zhuge Qiao responded without the slightest panic. Before that, he had already deduced all the questions Liu Bei would ask. over again.

Liu Bei still stared at Zhuge Qiao carefully, "Do you still remember how you answered when I asked you why you fought in Zigui?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, at the end of the day, the general will think that our army's attack on Wu is to fight for righteousness, to fight for the Wu army to seize our Jingzhou and kill Guan Junhou; but now we have beheaded the former left governor of the Wu army, Han Dang, and General Chen Dao. Also beheaded Pan Zhang, the general of the Wu army who captured General Guan at the beginning, and Fu Shiren, who surrendered without a fight, has also been captured. Our army has taken back Jianping County, Wuling County, most of Yidu County, and the important town of Public Security. It counts as avenging the past;" Zhuge Qiao persuaded cautiously;

"If I must capture the entire Jingzhou, how many do you think the chances of winning are?" Liu Bei still insisted. After all, occupying Jingzhou and sending troops to Wanluo was the national policy formulated with Zhuge Liang at the beginning.

Zhuge Qiao looked into Liu Bei's deep eyes, as if he was expecting the answer he wanted; however, Zhuge Qiao wanted to go against his will, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I can't reach the third floor." Resolutely, he spoke out the original calculation in his heart.

Listening to the piercing voice, there was a confident expression in it, "Bo Song, why are you so confident?" Liu Bei asked bluntly, with some kingly breath mixed in his words.

"May I ask your Majesty, if the Wu army does not leave the city, can we capture Yidao City? If Xu Huang of Xiangyang suddenly attacks, can General Zhenbei resist it? How can we compete with it, so the final general asserts that he can capture the entire Jingzhou in the hands of Soochow, and there will be only three floors at most." Faced with Liu Bei's doubts, Zhuge Qiao did not choose to persuade Liu Bei, but spoke bluntly.

But what was left to Liu Bei was endless sighs, just like when he responded to Chen Zhen's advice to retreat before, the time left for him was running out, so he didn't want to give up any chance, if he didn't know when he would retreat this time In order to go out again to fulfill the original dream in my heart.

"Do you know what this retreat means?" Liu Bei turned around and asked Zhuge Qiao with his back turned.

Regarding Liu Bei's question, Zhuge Qiao had thought about it for a long time and planned for a long time; perhaps he explained the answer to this question before he came to this world, but he had no right to speak before the war, even if I have the opportunity to mention it in front of Liu Bei, but who will deliberate without military exploits as a foreshadowing.

"Your Majesty, although our army launched this battle, it was the fault of Soochow. There were envoys who came to negotiate peace before; the current situation is also biased towards our army. If you send envoys to make peace at this time, you can ask Sun Quan for money and food. Afterwards, form an alliance with Wu and fight against Cao Wei together, so as to use the original picture," Zhuge Qiao said probingly.

"Jingzhou is incomplete, Qinchuan is difficult and dangerous, where should we send troops, we have already attacked the Cao family" Liu Bei turned around and continued to ask Zhuge Qiao; rather than asking Zhuge Qiao for advice, it is better to test how many strategies he still has The main reason is that Zhuge Qiao's answer just now didn't make Liu Bei feel anything new. Ordinary people can come up with this strategy, but he didn't know that Zhuge Qiao was using him step by step to draw out his final plan. strategy.

Zhuge Qiao stared straight at Liu Bei, his eyes met

"Above Qinchuan is the land of Guanzhong. Guanzhong is rich enough to raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and has become the hegemony of the ancestors; but your majesty knows that there is a potential force outside of Yizhou, waiting for our army to decline, and give us a surprise attack. ?"

"Who is it?" Liu Bei was surprised; when Zhuge Qiao said that besides Cao Wei and Soochow, there are people who are thinking about Yizhou, he couldn't help but suddenly became interested.

"Zhurong and Yiyue in the southwest;" Zhuge Qiao responded slowly;

"Bo Song is worrying too much. Nanman King Meng Huo is indeed a threat, but he is not to be feared. It is impossible for barbarians to attack our city of Yizhou." Liu Bei said confidently, and sighed, because Zhuge Qiao's answer made him feel ashamed. He was repeatedly disappointed, and began to doubt Zhuge Qiao's ability.

"If Meng Huo colludes with our Yizhou officials, can Meng Huo still attack Yizhou?" Zhuge Qiao said slowly, but Liu Bei frowned and fell into deep thought again. All the officials filtered it from his mind; suddenly there was a slight tremor, and he seemed to think of something.

"You mean Jianning Yongkai?" Liu Bei stared blankly at Zhuge Qiao and said.

"Exactly, Yong Kai has been deeply rooted in the southwest of Yizhou, especially in Jianning County. Even if His Majesty issues an edict, he will not necessarily be moved to serve His Majesty; now that His Majesty is powerful, he should be a three-point courteous one. In the future, His Majesty If the army is weakened, can Yong Kai be settled in Jianning County?" Zhuge Qiao said word by word,

Liu Bei also seems to have been brought into the land of Nanzhong by Zhuge Qiao. For the Shuhan regime, Nanzhong is not only the rear area for the battle against Cao Wei and Soochow, but also an important source for the Shuhan to obtain manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Therefore, if there is a rebellion in Nanzhong, it will not only weaken the power of the Shu Han, but also threaten the security of the Shu Han regime.

"Yong Kai's influence in Nanzhong is indeed very powerful, but after he is the founding hero Yong Chi, we can't attack him here. Bo Song thinks how to deal with this." Liu Bei analyzed it and dismissed the issue. Asked Zhuge Qiao, but Zhuge Qiao was waiting for him to ask himself.

I hope my strategy will work, Zhuge Qiao said silently. "Your Majesty, the general thought that in order to convince Nanzhong stability, the gentry, and the natives, His Majesty must have an army of hundreds of battles to deter those ambitious people and make them submit to His Majesty; In order to make them obey military service; one is to expand the source of our army, and the other is to reduce the threat of Nanzhong; secondly, we can transfer the landless people in Yizhou to farm and weave in Nanzhong, so as to strengthen the control of Nanzhong. Therefore, your Majesty’s hundred To fight an elite soldier, you must win every battle and defeat every attack," Zhuge Qiao responded.With a confident expression on his face, he hoped that his cross-century proposal could play a real role in this era, and he also waited for Liu Bei to continue to test it.

"My Jingzhou army can be regarded as a soldier in a hundred battles"

"It doesn't count now"

"why"

"Because no one in Nanzhong will know what the fighting power of this hundred-fighting soldier in His Majesty's hands is, unless His Majesty lets them know and let them see the fierce warrior in His Majesty's hands."

"Bosson has a plan?"

"Your Majesty can invite the southern Chinese gentry, natives, Zhu Rong, and barbarians to come to Chengdu on New Year's Eve this year, and His Majesty promises to reward them; then transfer the designated number of people from each county to come to Chengdu for an audience, and you can also invite Eastern Wu to come to Chengdu as guests; His Majesty summoned the elite soldiers from all over the country to hold a grand military parade on Chengdu Avenue, showing the strongest military strength of our Shu Han, and telling the world that our Shu Han is the orthodox Han Dynasty and the lord of the world; , Even if you are far away, you will be punished!" Zhuge Qiao himself was shocked and unbelievable after he said this passage drippingly.

[This chapter mentions the military parade, which may be ridiculous to everyone, but there was a precedent for the military parade in the Shang Dynasty; but the meanings of the two are different. I will show you almost all the troops and all the numbers of the Shu Han in the military parade. ;I hope everyone supports it, the author asks for recommendations and collections; I wish everyone a good mood every day]
