"The general has been fighting for more than 20 years and has traveled seven or eight points in the world. He has never seen such a dangerous place. Let alone attacking cities and plundering territory, I am afraid it will be difficult to walk through it!" Some generals sighed.
They are all generals who have been fighting for decades. They have seen many dangerous places in their lives. However, this is the first time it has happened like this in Shu.
Although Feng Yi just pointed out that there are five roads, the generals really understood that in fact, there are only three roads.
Ziwu Road and Tangluo Road, due to the conditions of these two roads, are really unable to support the march of a large-scale army.
At the same time, the generals finally understood why Li Xiang was so aggressive in the conquest of Shu, using 750,000 troops and millions of farmers.
Apart from Yizhou Liu Che, who else among the princes in the world has this honor?
Most of the people attending the meeting today are warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. They are thirsty for blood from their swords, lying in the saddle, crawling and rolling among the dead, and they are fighting without making any progress!
For a person like Jia Fu, if you ask him to kill hundreds of thousands of troops several times, he will not even frown, pick up his halberd, mount his horse, and just go in.
People like Li Cunxiao are even more fearless. If any powerful enemy comes to kill you, they will give you a hard blow first.
But in the past, the boss, Li Xiang, and the Hanchang warriors who were the third boss all lost their energy after seeing the terrain of Bashu and the three roads. It was difficult to walk in this ghost place, so how could they arrange their troops? What about setting up formations, attacking, killing and defending?
Not to mention the generals sitting here, even the general Li Jing raised his eyebrows together after seeing the terrain.
No wonder it turns out that in history, when Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, he sighed and said to his subordinates: "Hundreds of miles of dead mountains and endless valleys, this is no place for military force. If I had known about the terrain, I would never have led troops here!" '
It’s no wonder that in history, with Zhuge Kongming’s extraordinary talent and strategy, he made six expeditions out of Qishan but failed at the hands of Sima Xiaoer, not because of lack of ability, but because of the terrain!
The Qinling Mountains are steep and the plank roads are rugged and difficult to navigate. More importantly, during the march, the army had to resist the enemy's ambush and attack the city. The difficulty increased several times!
Liu Che's subordinates are also full of talents, including Xu Shiji, Chen Qingzhi, Yang Su, Yao Chang, Lu Guang, Dai Tuo, Zhou Yafu, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Zhao Chongguo, Wang Sengbian, Yang Shuang, Yang Duanhe and others. The talent of a general.
If such a person really insists on guarding every dangerous pass, then even though there are many famous generals on the Jin army's side, there really isn't much that can be done against them.
Then again, what is a hero? He can do what others cannot, dare what others dare not, know that there are tigers in the mountains, and prefer to go to the tiger mountains...
"There is no turning back when the bow is fired, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the pass, and countless money, food and grass were spent. How can we return without success? Even if Bashu has a copper wall, I, the governor, will still have to break a hole!... "Li Jing said in a deep voice.
No matter how dangerous the terrain of Bashu is, it is not omnipotent after all. It does not mean that the land of Bashu is absolutely unbreakable.
During the Warring States Period, Qin general Sima Cuo sent his troops south and took the Hanzhong Plank Road to attack Bashu and turned it into the backyard of the Qin State, which showed that force could be used from north to south!
During the Chu and Han Dynasties, Han Xin built a plank road openly and secretly attacked Chencang, and captured Guanzhong in one fell swoop, laying the foundation of the Han Empire and showing that troops could be used from south to north!
Since others can do it, Li Jing doesn't believe that he will be worse than others. Since others can do it, can't Li Jing be able to do it?
Since others finally found a way to pry open the iron hole in Bashu, then Li Jing must also have a way to pry open this iron hole in the end.
What the ancients could do, Li Jing was confident that he could do the same, and do it even better, conquer Hanzhong, conquer Bashu, and bring the entire Yizhou under the banner of the Jin army, so as to prepare for the day when the Jin army could truly sweep the world. Their biggest stumbling block.
When a large army fights, morale comes first. No matter what strategy is adopted, morale must be guaranteed first. If even the most basic morale cannot be guaranteed, then no matter how sophisticated the strategy is, the effect will be greatly reduced.
In the end, no matter how clever the strategy is, no matter how seamless it is, the person responsible for implementing them is still a human being. If there is a problem with people, everything will be lost.
"It is a great blessing in life for a man, a true man, to be able to die in battle and be shrouded in horse leather. What should we fear?"
"There are only generals who die in battle, and there are no cowards who retreat. The last general is willing to die for the governor!"
"The final general is willing to be a pioneer officer and be the first to enter Hanzhong!"
Encouraged by Li Jing, all the generals also gained morale and wanted to serve as vanguard officers. They were the first to enter Hanzhong, or even Chengdu, and capture Shu King Liu Che alive!
Under Li Jing's encouragement, all the soldiers became furious, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. However, fighting is something that is never directly impulsive. It inspires morale. Although morale is stimulated, it must not become reckless because of it.
In the final analysis, success depends on strategy, not courage. Fighting is not just a simple matter of recklessness. Of course, relying on Mang, it is possible to achieve temporary victory, but it is absolutely impossible to achieve lifelong victory.
Therefore, Li Jing took the initiative and waved his hand to stop the generals who seemed to have been beaten to death, and instead discussed with them the strategy of entering Shu.
You can't rely on Mang in normal battles, let alone attacking a geographically special place like Bashu. If Mang goes in headlong, it will probably result in the annihilation of the entire army.
This battle was considered a national war even for the Jin army. And this kind of large-scale national war is absolutely something that one cannot afford to lose.
After asking like this, it didn't matter. Li Jing actually asked him a plan.
"I'm reporting to the Grand Governor that I have a plan in the end, and you might want to try it!" Cen Peng said in front of everyone.
It is a coincidence that during the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Cen Peng persuaded Zhu Tuna to surrender, conquered Jingxiang, and conquered Longyou in the west. He became a major contributor to the Eastern Han Dynasty in opening up territory and conquering all directions.
The most shining achievement in his life was undoubtedly the battle against Shu.
Originally, two armies entered Shu: Lai She led the main force in Guanzhong and marched by land, while Cen Peng led the Jingzhou navy to support them by water. Not wanting to be embarrassed, the Shu Emperor Gongsun Shu actually sent assassins to kill Lai She and delay the Han army's attack.
When Lai She died, the two-pronged attack strategy failed, so Liu Xiu wrote to Cen Peng: I suggest you lead your army to retreat, and then slowly plan to destroy Shu; if you want to lead the navy to march west, I have no objection. In short, it's up to you to decide whether to fight or retreat.
Cen Peng's reply was firm but tragic: since I have entered Shu, there is no reason to return. I can destroy Gongsun Shu with just my troops!
The Yangtze River is naturally dangerous, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack; in addition, going upstream and having to pass through the dangerous Three Gorges makes it even more difficult.
Therefore, in the previous history, no one had ever chosen to enter Sichuan by water.
Cen Peng didn't believe this evil, so he built a warship, and when the east wind picked up, he sailed up the river with the help of the wind and reached the two passes of Jingmen and Huya. The navy troops on the boat fought bravely to be the first, not avoiding the arrows, and threw torches up the pass one after another. The wind took advantage of the fire and burned the Shu army until they cried for their fathers and mothers. After breaking through the pass, Cen Peng bypassed the difficult-to-attack Jiangzhou, marched forward boldly, crossed the Dianjiang River, broke through Pingqu, and attacked the vicinity of Chengdu in one fell swoop.
The Han army descended from the sky, and Gongsun Shu, who was unable to resist, sent out assassins again, stabbing Cen Peng seriously and dying soon after.
But in this life, when it came to the plan to defeat Shu, it was Cen Peng who was the first to have an idea.
Like Feng Yi, Cen Peng was also one of the Yongzhou guards, and when Feng Yi collected information about Bashu, Cen Peng personally handled much of it. Cen Peng's understanding of the Bashu land is second to none here.
At this moment, Cen Peng's hand also pointed to a particularly conspicuous location on the sand table: Ziwu Valley.
