It was meaningless to discuss these matters at the moment, and Liu Zhang immediately adjusted the direction of the discussion.
"The top priority now is how to deal with these 200,000 Xianbei cavalry."
"But the enemies we face are not just the Xianbei people. At this moment, Ma Teng is leading 50,000 cavalry to attack Hanyang County!"
"There are also Han Sui's forces in Jincheng County, and the Qiang people that Han Sui may win over!"
Not to mention Liu Zhang's headache, everyone felt the pressure doubled.
Apparently Han Sui's 40,000 cavalry had just been defeated, but nearly 300,000 enemies appeared instead!
If we include the 40,000 cavalry who had just annihilated Han Sui, Ma Teng and the Qiang people he could win over in Wuwei County, I am afraid that the total number of enemies will exceed 400,000!
Not to mention an army of 400,000, even 400,000 pigs can kill Liu Zhang until he becomes weak.
This is a situation that the entire Yizhou Army, from the emperor Liu Zhang to every fighting soldier, has never imagined.
There was a time when Liu Zhang thought that when he led an army of 100,000 people out of Sichuan, it would be a crushing force with overwhelming numerical superiority.
At present, Liu Zhang can be said to be helpless and can only look at Xun You, Liu Ye, Pang Tong, and Fazheng expectantly.
I hope these top wise men can turn the tide and resolve the upcoming crisis.
After a long time, strategist Liu Ye was the first to stand up.
"My lord, Xiao Pass is built along the Longshan Pass. After passing through Xiao Pass, the road to Guanzhong will be smooth. If you want to attack Yongliang, there are only two roads."
"One goes south along the Jinghe River and goes straight to Guanzhong, then passes through Chencang, goes to Bangbang, and finally reaches Ji County, the seat of Hanyang County."
"One is from Xiaoguan and goes south along Longshan Mountain. Since there is a natural road in the middle of Longshan Mountain, you can also enter Hanyang County through this."
Liu Zhang took a sharp breath and blurted out these two words.
"Street Pavilion!"
Liu Ye nodded immediately, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"I am so impressed by my lord! I didn't understand the significance of my lord sending Pan Feng to the street pavilion before, but now I know the depth of my lord's vision!"
This sudden compliment caught Liu Zhang off guard and even made him feel guilty!
How could Liu Zhang have such far-reaching vision!
He sent Pan Feng to the street pavilion entirely because of his attachment to the street pavilion in his previous life.
Historically, Ma Su was smart all his life, but eventually fell to the street pavilion because of his talk on paper.
Zhuge Liang also failed to succeed in the Northern Expedition because of the loss of Jieting. In the end, he had no choice but to leave behind the sadness of dying before leaving the army.
Liu Zhang sent Pan Feng to Jieting just for peace of mind. He didn't think there would be a war in the street pavilion at all.
If there is a trace of worry, it is that Cao Cao will let Wei Ju do mischief in Guanzhong.
Therefore, Liu Zhang sent Lu Su there mainly to guard against Cao Cao.
It can only be said that Liu Zhang was a blind cat that bumped into a dead mouse.
"Zi Yang, there's no need to say more words of praise, let's talk about your method!"
In the end, Liu Zhang reluctantly accepted the compliment, so as to improve his status in the hearts of everyone.
Anyway, as a time traveler, it is normal for him to predict this kind of thing.
"As you command!"
Liu Ye was very aware of the urgency in Liu Zhang's heart and no longer wasted time.
"I dare not deceive my lord. I don't have a good strategy. Now I can only defend the street pavilion and Chencang, blocking all the roads for the Xianbei cavalry to enter Liangzhou."
"During this period, we must concentrate our superior forces to quickly defeat Ma Teng, especially Han Sui in Jincheng County. To prevent him from recruiting the Qiang people to launch a sneak attack on us while we are dealing with the Xianbei cavalry with all our strength."
"After taking care of Ma Teng and Han Sui, we will concentrate on dealing with the Xianbei cavalry. If that doesn't work, we will rely on the fortified city to keep them out of Liangzhou!"
Liu Ye's strategy is a naked conspiracy, and his treatment of the Xianbei cavalry is just one word, procrastination!
If there is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy, hold them back temporarily.
If there is no chance to defeat the enemy, drag them forever.
The food and fodder consumption of the 200,000-strong army is completely astronomical. How long can the Xianbei people sustain it?
However, Liu Zhang did not agree very much, because this method had huge risks.
"Zi Yang, what if the Xianbei cavalry doesn't confront us and counterattack Guanzhong? I don't think Cao Cao still has the energy to care about Guanzhong under such circumstances!"
Liu Ye nodded again, fully agreeing with Liu Zhang's statement.
"My lord is right. Cao Cao is currently unable to protect himself. How can he have the energy to take care of the land in Guanzhong? If the Xianbei cavalry advances westward, Guanzhong will be lost!"
"No! The Guanzhong Plain is extremely important to us. Once the Xianbei people invade, we don't know what kind of chaos will happen!"
Today's Guanzhong is already quite chaotic. If the Xianbei people continue to destroy it unscrupulously, I'm afraid it will really become a dead place!
Liu Zhang could not accept occupying a miserable Guanzhong in the future, let alone allow the Xianbei people to wreak havoc on the land of the Han people.
Liu Ye looked very painful, so why would he do it? But besides this strategy, are there any other options?
"My lord, a little impatience will ruin a big plan! Don't cause irreparable losses because of a moment of weakness!"
"My lord, what Zi Yang said is absolutely true! With our current strength, we have no chance of winning against the Xianbei cavalry!"
Liu Zhang was confused for a moment, and even a planner like Xun You, who was proficient in war, said so. I'm afraid it would be really difficult for the two sides to compete head-on.
At this time, Fazheng also stood up.
"My lord, as a Fufeng native, I cannot bear to see my hometown being ravaged by the Xianbei people! But what Military Advisor Liu Ye said is right, a little impatience will ruin a big plan!"
"At present, we should focus on eliminating Han Sui and Ma Teng, completely digesting the land of Yongliang, and then show off with the Xianbei people!"
Liu Ye and Xun You were one from Yingchuan and the other from Jianghuai. Perhaps they had no burden to sacrifice Guanzhong.
But Fazheng is different. Having lived in Fufeng County for generations, he must have deep feelings for his hometown.
At this moment, even Fazheng agrees with Liu Ye's strategy, and I'm afraid there is really nothing he can do.
"Hey, I was dedicated to serving the country and the people, but I didn't expect that I would eventually choose to abandon the people of Guanzhong! Han Sui is a traitor, and I will never forgive him!"
After hearing Liu Zhang's words, Liu Ye and Xun You finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that if Liu Zhang's head got hot, he would have to fight to the death with the Xianbei people.
"Lord, let the Xianbei people be proud for a while, and then when we accumulate enough strength, we can turn Guanzhong into their tomb!"
Fazheng's eyes flashed with anger, and he had sworn in his heart that for all the harm done to Guanzhong by the Xianbei people, he would definitely make the Xianbei people pay for it with blood!
Liu Zhang was unwilling, and finally nodded helplessly.
"Hey! That's all we can do..."
