Seeing Sun Quan stopping in front of Ankang City, Zhuge Liang was a little confused.
"This place is the Xicheng, and it is also a strategic location. It can be said to be the gateway to Hanzhong." Zhuge Liang introduced to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan nodded,
"We came from Xiangyang along the Han River and arrived here directly. It is indeed called a gateway. But as long as Xiangyang belongs to me, Jiangdong, then this place doesn't have much strategic significance, right?"
Sandwiched in the middle of the two big cities of Hanzhong and Xiangyang, no one would be stupid enough to attack here directly. Unless the relationship between Hanzhong and Xiangyang becomes hostile, the strategic significance will come out immediately.
Hanzhong wanted to rebel against Jiangdong, so he deployed heavy troops here?
otherwise.
Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang knew very well that if this were the case, it would not be so simple for them to pass several levels along the way. Lan
So Zhuge Liang doesn't understand, what does Sun Quan care about in Xicheng? If we delay any longer, we won't be able to catch up with the Hanzhong rebellion conference.
Of course Zhuge Liang would not know that Sun Quan stopped because he discovered from the spiritual world that Taishi Ci was nearby.
Ankang, or Xicheng, is a small city, not a political, economic and cultural center like Jianye. In Sun Quan's spiritual world, the "small" Jianye City is filled with countless civil servants and military generals. On the contrary, the "big" Xicheng City is occupied by two or three characters, which is extremely obvious.
As a result, Sun Quan not only discovered Tai Shici's presence at a glance, but another unexpected figure also appeared in Sun Quan's sight.
Speaking of Taishi Ci, after Zhou Yu, Taishi Ci has been regarded as the number one general under Sun Ce. Taishi Ci is in Ankang, which means that the elite and main force of Jiangdong Army are also in Ankang!
Ankang is just down the Han River to Xiangyang. Does Tai Shici want to attack Xiangyang? If Sun Quan and Sun Ce really separated, then I'm afraid he really believed it.
So, Taishi Ci planned to join forces in Xiangyang and then march into the Central Plains with the Xiangyang army? At first glance, it seems reasonable. Cao Cao's main force is in the northwest after all, but siege warfare has been difficult since ancient times. If you don't do enough work in advance and just attack hard, you will probably consume your own strength. If you attack a weak enemy, you will be attacking the Great North, not the Central Plains that Cao Cao has cultivated for a long time. Lan
Taishi Ci was Sun Ce's man, and Sun Ce's goal was the northwest!
so,
"Is there a way to the north from here?" Sun Quan asked Zhuge Liang.
"There is a way to enter Chang'an by crossing Ziwu Road." Zhuge Liang's knowledge reserve is still very strong.
Sun Quan frowned,
"Only one?"
"There is not only one way, but they will all pass through Ziwu Road in the end." Zhuge Liang replied. Lan
"I see, I probably understand." Sun Quan nodded slowly.
"What King Wu means is.
.
. "Zhuge Liang pointed to the north. Sun Quan asked this, indicating that he judged that he would send troops north from here to attack Chang'an, but, "Isn't it too risky? Not to mention that it will be difficult to supply if the army goes deep alone. Once it cannot take the base in Guanzhong, it will die. There is no doubt that there is only one way to send troops here. If the enemy finds out and lays an ambush in Ziwu Valley in advance, the entire army will be wiped out!"
"Wealth can be found in danger, and there are people who like it." Sun Quan said, narrowing his eyes, "And the annihilation of the entire army is something some people like to see."
Zhuge Liang's face straightened and he instantly understood what Sun Quan meant.
"The depth of the plot is terrifying!"
Someone in Hanzhong wanted to rebel against Sun Ce. This was Sun Quan's judgment and the basis for his bet with Zhuge Liang.
Sun Ce personally holds the military power, so it is not easy to rebel against Sun Ce. So, the man advanced layer by layer, linking each other. Lan
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by
Rebellion became justifiable and morally sound.
The third step is to use the conspiracy as bait to lure Taishi Ci to die. Taishi Ci is gone, and Sun Ce's direct lineage is gone as well. Those who are left in Hanzhong are probably the other party's people.
"In this case, should we go to Hanzhong?" Zhuge Liang asked Sun Quan.
Now it seems that Hanzhong is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!
When Zhuge Liang received the invitation letter, he already believed Sun Quan 70%. If a rebellion meeting is held in Hanzhong, either someone is betraying Sun Ce, or they are trying to gather together people who are loyal to the Han Dynasty and oppose proclaiming emperor. But if you really want to surround and kill, why choose Hanzhong? They are stupid? Who among the loyal ministers who can live to this day is not cautious? Cautiously, how many will come?
Therefore, the reality is that someone wants to rebel against Sun Ce, and he is building momentum in advance. Lan
The war in the north was tense. Sun Ce suddenly returned to Jiangdong and promoted Sun Zheng as emperor. This was weird. It's hard not to associate the betrayal of someone in Hanzhong with this.
The reason why Zhuge Liang came to Hanzhong with Sun Quan was firstly to confirm the truth, and secondly because he believed that although it was dangerous for Sun Quan to go to Hanzhong, there was still room for maneuver.
But now, there are no good people in Hanzhong, so what can we do?
"Let me think twice."
Sun Quan closed his eyes and tapped his forehead. He quickly made a decision.
"We only have half a day in West City, so hurry up."
Zhuge Liang was startled, did Sun Zhongmou really want to follow a path to death? is it necessary? Or is there a plan that he didn't see through? Lan
"Time is running out, so we have to split up. There is someone hiding in this city. You can help me find him. I will go to the military camp outside the city."
Sun Quan made arrangements.
Zhuge Liang: "Who?"
Sun Quan: "A suspect."
······
Outside the city, the military camp,
Since Taishi Ci wanted to make some strange plans, his army would not appear openly. However, the army's stationing and operations are indispensable for food and grass. The normal mobilization of food and grass for the garrison in Ankang City is the best cover. Lan
"His Royal Highness King Wu——"
A fat man straightened his military cap and ran, almost rolling and crawling, and threw himself at Sun Quan's feet.
"My subordinate, Meng Da, has missed his welcome. He should be damned! He should be damned!"
"Get up and speak." Sun Quan looked at Mengda, "I heard that you made a contribution to our army's attack on Bashu by dedicating the city."
When Sun Ce attacked Bashu, Fazheng, Zhang Song, and Meng Da abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, which was a great achievement.
As counselors, Fazheng and Zhang Song were very talented and rose through the ranks. But as for Meng Da, firstly, there is no shortage of generals in Jiangdong, and secondly, as a soldier, to be honest, Sun Ce doesn't like weaklings. Therefore, Mengda is in an embarrassing situation. If it weren't for being a good friend with Fa Zheng, his situation would probably be even worse than it is now.
"My subordinates have always looked up to King Wu for his power. If Jiangdong hadn't been too far away, I would have moved the city to Jiangdong!" Meng Da, among other things, is quite good at flattering, and he has a very high emotional intelligence. The original betrayal of Bashu was said to be out of respect and loyalty to Sun Quan. Lan
"How about giving you a chance to get promoted and make a fortune?" Sun Quan patted Meng Da on the shoulder.
"It doesn't matter whether I get promoted or not. The main thing is to do things for the King of Wu." Meng Da looked upright.
"Very good, I like people who do practical things. Listen, Taishi Ci is suspected of betraying the Han Dynasty by following Sun Ce. If you take down Taishi Ci, his position will be yours!" Sun Quan said to Meng Da.
Meng Da's expression froze,
"this.
.
.
"
