However, even if it is a dangerous road, at least let them see Mengda's confidence and see how sure they are of success.
If the confidence is too low or even no confidence at all, why would they risk the lives of their entire family to take a gamble with Meng Da?
Although they were almost cornered by Liu Che, the knife was not yet completely placed on their necks after all! And if Meng Da fails here, he will immediately end up dead.
Although it is the difference between dying early and dying late, no matter what, it is better to die early than to die early. If you can live one more day, it is still one day! Maybe living one more day will bring them a turning point!
"I can mobilize at most 800 troops now!" Meng Da said calmly.
Eight hundred?
Upon hearing this number, many people here almost slapped Meng Da in the face!
Although Chengdu's soldiers and horses are constantly mobilized outwards, there are still 20,000 elites and 3,000 barbarians to this day. Moreover, an additional 30,000 new soldiers were formed not long ago.
Even if you don’t count the 30,000 new recruits with low combat effectiveness, just talking about the 20,000 elites and 3,000 barbarians, you can only control 800 of them. Why would you want to launch a mutiny and rush into the palace of the King of Shu? , Liu Che is in his hands.
In the eyes of everyone, Meng Da was completely crazy. This was not a mutiny, but a death wish!
Meng Da's expression started to change color just by looking at it, but actually he felt bitter in his heart!
When Liu Che first rose up, Meng Da was also one of the first generals to pledge allegiance to Liu Che and help Liu Che stabilize the situation in central Shu. Therefore, in recent years, Mengda has also become prosperous and is definitely the number one figure in Yizhou.
But things are often like this, the boat of friendship capsizes at the drop of a hat. When Meng Da repeatedly revealed his intention to surrender, Liu Che refused to agree. He used a series of moves against Meng Da, rising and falling covertly, to deprive Meng Da of all his military power.
Being able to control the last 800 people was the result of Meng Da's hard work and management in the Shu army for so many years.
"In addition, King Jin, no, my lord can send six hundred swordsmen to help us!" Meng Da then said.
This Meng Da had not yet officially surrendered to this side, and had not even seen Li Xiang's face. He had already shouted out the word "Lord" first!
As for the six hundred swordsmen, this is almost 90% of Fushui Fang's combat strength in Chengdu City. This is also the greatest support Fushui Fang can give Meng Da!
"I can control three thousand troops and horses in my hands!" Wu Yi said loudly.
In fact, Wu Yi was the one who gave Meng Da the courage to plan all this. If it weren't for Wu Yi, just with his 800 people, Meng Da wouldn't have the time to think so much!
Firstly, the knife was already held to his neck, and they couldn't wait to march to Chengdu City. Secondly, with such a strong support, thirdly, it was his gambler's mentality that was at work. , after all, the Jin army did not reach Chengdu City, but they helped the Jin army capture Chengdu City. The credit behind this was too great, otherwise why would he dare to ask for the position of deputy governor.
Wu Yi's sister is the wife of Liu Che's brother Liu Mao. In order to balance the power of the local aristocratic families in Yizhou, Liu Che has always been very important to the Wu family, but Wu Yi has always hidden it better and did not jump out as easily as others.
Therefore, the power in his hands has not been suppressed, and he is now the largest force that Mengda can use.
In fact, Wu Yi can also see from Wu Yi how far the people's hearts in Shu are now dispersed, especially the hearts and minds of these powerful families, which are no longer on the same line as Liu Che.
Most of the aristocratic family forces have the survival and development of their own family as their primary goal.
Of course, although most of the children of aristocratic families prioritize the survival of their family, it does not mean that they are not loyal. Although many aristocratic families would diversify their investments among several princes in troubled times, even if they dispersed their investments, the children of these aristocratic families had always worked hard under the hands of various princes, and even dedicated themselves to death.
However, the deterrence of the Jin army after Jingxiang was too great. Those who were determined to go all the way to death, how many of them ended up hurting their own families. With such a batch of lessons, the people in Yizhou are not sure that while they can improve their loyalty and image with Liu Xiu, they can also ensure that their family does not have any problems!
Not everyone has the guts to risk the future life and death of their family. Therefore, many officials of aristocratic families no longer dare to guarantee that they will be loyal to their old masters as they did in the past. After polishing their own image, they can capture and then move to another camp. It can also ensure smooth sailing for his family.
As a result, many aristocratic families wanted to "cut off" their relationship with Liu Che, and even those powerful families who had resentment against Liu Che had some radical ideas.
As for Wu Yi, the price he holds is actually far higher than Meng Da in Floating Water House.
It's a pity that these two people are fundamentally different, or that these people here are fundamentally different from Meng Da.
Meng Da dared to be the leader and took the initiative to contact and gather these people to promote this matter. As for the remaining people headed by Wu Yi, they dare not be the first to eat crabs or the leader, and are more willing to be those who follow the crowd.
It is precisely because there are many people in this world who follow the crowd that people like Meng Da are more likely to achieve greater success, although people like Meng Da also bear the greatest risks.
Although Wu Yi is not someone who dares to be a leader like Meng Da, he is more willing to follow the crowd. However, just because Meng Da was able to persuade Wu Yi, a person with greater power in his hands, to assist him, from this point of view, it has been seen that Meng Da actually has considerable abilities.
With Wu Yi's statement here, everyone here has already begun to make plans. With the strength of more than 4,000 people, plus the actions of these people, Mengda's operation actually has a pretty good chance of success.
After all, what they want to do is not to deal with the entire defenders of Chengdu City, but to sneak into the Shu Palace unexpectedly and directly control Shu King Liu Che in their hands, so as to capture the thief first. After controlling Liu Che, the next step is to take advantage of the situation and control the pace of Chengdu.
After achieving this, the morale of the frontline troops was in chaos, and the obstacles faced by the Jin army could no longer be called obstacles. The Jin army could reach Chengdu City as quickly as possible, laying the foundation for the final victory of the battle to conquer Shu. victory.
And when this matter had a chance of success, and these people simply calculated in their minds, they found that the chance of success was not small, everyone began to get excited.
After such risky things, there will naturally be greater rewards. After the Jin army takes control of Shu, they will all be meritorious officials!
