Da Sima Mansion.
Liu Bei looked serious and looked around at the ministers: "Everyone, Deng Fang, the commander-in-chief of the surrender, sent an envoy to report that the Yong family of Yizhou County has rebelled. Meng Huo, the barbarian king of the county, has raised troops to respond and has now occupied the entire Yizhou County.
"Fortunately, the prefect Zheng'ang escaped and has now retreated to Zhuti County. The Yi king Gaoding occupied Yueyong County, but the governor Jiao Huang was outnumbered and fled in defeat.
"Moreover, Zhu Bao, the governor of Zangke County, who was greedy for life and surrendered to the enemy, has also led his troops to surrender to the Yong family. We have lost three of the five counties in the south..."
Speaking of this, Old Liu was also a little sad. He thought of the counties in Nanzhong that refused to obey the rules, and the Yong family was very powerful in Nanzhong.
But as soon as the Yong family launched an army, three counties quickly fell, and even the fact that they surrendered unexpectedly was something he didn't expect.
But Adou is right. If we don't take advantage of this rare opportunity to eradicate the hidden danger once and for all, and wait until the north has eased the instability caused by the loss of soldiers and the death of Cao Cao, there will not be such a good opportunity.
"We don't know what the situation is in Yongchang County, which is the farthest place. I am afraid that it has also responded to the rebellion. Now our Chinese army has stationed 8,000 people in Jianwei County, and the Jianwei Zhang family has sent 2,000 private soldiers to assist in the battle, totaling 10,000 people.
"Yide sent ten thousand troops to garrison Jiangyang County. Jiangyang ordered Zhang Yi to gather and train a thousand county soldiers to assist in the battle; Bajun also had five thousand troops stationed."
The current troop arrangement is based on Liu Chan's investigation of the strength of the three rebel counties in Nanzhong.
The Yong family and Meng Huo coalition forces in Yizhou County were the strongest, followed by Gaoding, the king of Yueyong Yi, and the barren Zanggao County naturally did not have much military strength.
"I want to send Zilong Tongqianwei's troops to attack Yueyong from the west, while Yide leads Bajun's troops to attack Zanggao from the east..."
After a moment's pause, Old Liu looked confident, twirling his beard and saying with a smile, "Then, I personally led Jiangyang's troops to take Yizhou County, kill Yong Kai and Meng Huo, and decide Nanzhong in one battle!"
"Cough cough cough..." Liu Chan, who had just drank some water to moisten his throat, was suddenly choked and coughed repeatedly.
Old Liu asked doubtfully: "My son, why is this happening?"
Aren’t you scared to hear that you will personally command more than 10,000 troops?
If the death of Er Ye was the starting point of Ji Han's decline, then the Battle of Yiling was the iconic battle that officially marked the decline.
The elites are exhausted and the talents are out of stock...
For Liu Chan, who had finally changed history, as long as Lao Liu doesn't lead the army to fight, he will support him no matter what he does in Chengdu!
Staying at the Hanzhong Palace to "play music and dance" and watch more exciting programs is better than going out to bring warmth.
Of course, if you say it so directly, the favorability score will probably immediately refresh in units of -10...
"Father, the Yong family and a bunch of barbarians, why do you need to mobilize troops like this? Do you want to conquer it yourself?" Liu Chan stood up and walked to Old Liu and clasped his fists, "I am not talented in Zen, but I am willing to share my father's worries!"
Old Liu looked at his son with a smile on his face, nodded with satisfaction and said: "My son is brave, I am very pleased. In that case, I will order you to command the soldiers of Bajun and work with my father to suppress the rebellion and punish the thieves!"
"Father, this is inappropriate."
To Lao Liu's surprise, Liu Chan once again denied his arrangement.
"You brat, your wings are stiff, right? You'd better come up with a decent reason."
Lao Liu subconsciously moved his right foot and said calmly: "What's wrong?"
Liu Chan, who has battled wits and courage with his father for many years, has rich experience in fighting. He knew at a glance that this was the starting move in the "Eighteen Moves of Copying Shoes". He felt awe-inspiring at the moment and dealt with it carefully.
"Father, it is said that a year's plan starts with spring, but the spring plowing has not yet ended. How can Chengdu be successful without you in charge?"
Old Liu's face turned slightly pale, but he still said: "With filial piety and uprightness, and military advisors staying behind, I will naturally feel at ease."
Liu Chan rolled his eyes, put it aside for the time being, and said, "Father, Chan believes that the two generals should not move lightly."
Before Lao Liu could ask again, he continued: "Now that Cao Cao has lost his life, Cao Pi has succeeded him, and three counties have been defeated, and the general has been captured. The newly appointed prime minister may not look good on his face.
"If it is to establish prestige, then the dog will jump over the wall...Yizhou still needs to be guarded by generals to be safe."
Of course he was making excuses. Liu Chan knew that Cao Pi would not do that, and with Cao Wei's current military strength, it would be a desperate act to forcefully send troops to attack.
Cao Wei has no shortage of capable ministers and famous generals. Even if Cao Pi had this idea, his ministers would definitely not agree.
Lao Liu didn't think that Cao Wei, who had suffered three consecutive defeats, would send troops at this time.
He was about to say something more when Fazheng, who had just recovered from a serious illness, also said: "I also think what the prince said is reasonable. It would be more... ahem, safer for the king and the two generals to stay in Yizhou."
Of course, Fazheng didn't say this simply out of his fondness for Liu Chan. He had his own considerations.
Except that now the power is getting stronger and stronger, and I don’t want the Lord to take risks.
A force must level the water bowl.
It is precisely because the struggle between the various factions of the Lao Liu Group is not so fierce that we should cherish this harmony even more.
Not to mention the distant ones, even in the two recent wars, there are shadows of General Zilong and Master Zhang in Hanzhong and Jingzhou.
They have no shortage of military exploits, and in terms of combat difficulty alone, Fazheng doesn't feel that Pingnanzhong has to use them to win the battle.
The local forces in Yizhou have now made their own compromises in many aspects. At this time, we should not test whether they are sincerely loyal. People's hearts often cannot withstand testing.
At this time, we need to give them some opportunities to calm their minds, which is the right way to seek common development.
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he glanced at Fazheng in surprise, and Fazheng happened to be looking at him as well. Between two extremely smart people, many things did not require too many words to explain.
Zhuge Liang also cupped his hands and smiled and said: "I also think that what the prince and Fa Xiaozhi said is reasonable. I recommend a person to the king to do the job. Li Hui was born in Yizhou County. He knows its geography, knows the art of war, and has many wise strategies, so he can lead it. An army.”
They have gradually no longer limited themselves to their own factions, but have set their sights on a higher level.
How to make Lao Liu's power bigger and stronger and make full use of any available power is their main consideration at the moment.
However, Zhuge Liang was very surprised and delighted that he could have such an awakening after a serious illness.
Li Hui is a typical Yizhou scholar, and his family has moved to Shu County from Nanzhong.
Whether it was the maintenance of Dujiangyan or the promotion of Quyuan plow, the Li family responded actively and contributed a lot.
This move is naturally a reciprocation. Of course, even if he repays a favor, Zhuge Liang will not choose an incompetent person.
Li Hui is also a man of great ability. Whether it is military geography or political intelligence, he is an excellent choice.
Among the scholars of the Yizhou faction, he was particularly outstanding. In addition, he had always been loyal since Liu Bei took over, so he had this opportunity.
After Fazheng and Zhuge Liang said this, Lao Liu naturally realized this problem.
He had just been temporarily carried away by his ideals, thinking that he and his old brothers would conquer Nanzhong first, and then conquer the Central Plains.
When I see Cao Mengde again in the future, I will discuss with him who is the hero.
But at this time he had regained his composure, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will order Prince Liu Chan to be the chief general and Li Hui to be the deputy general, and lead the Red Star Army and Jiangyang's troops to attack Yizhou County."
Liu Chan added at this time: "Chan also wants to ask Zhuge's military advisor to lead Qianwei's troops to attack Yueyong and coordinate the Chinese army."
These words made Lao Liu, Fazheng, and even Zhuge Liang stunned.
"It is easy to win the battle in Nanzhong, but difficult to win and conquer. Before Zen, he often talked with Zhuge Military Advisor about the strategy of returning to Nanzhong. This matter still needs the military advisor to do it himself."
Lao Liu glanced at Zhuge Liang, but saw Zhuge Liang suddenly smiled and nodded to him.
"It's just that if the military advisor leads the troops alone... wouldn't it be dangerous?"
"Hahaha." Liu Chan was completely amused by Lao Liu's words.
No way, this joke is really funny. If historians record this sentence in the annals of history, it will probably become one of the funniest historical jokes.
Is it dangerous for the ten wise men of the martial arts temple to lead the army alone? Are you saying the enemy is dangerous?
"Why are you laughing?" Old Liu seemed to be using the "Eighteen Styles of Copying Shoes" again.
"Ahem." Liu Chan put away his smile and said seriously, "Zhan's military skills were all taught by Military Master Zhuge."
With one sentence, Lao Liu was speechless.
It seems to make sense.
[Zhuge Liang’s favorability +1] (94)
Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, was originally calm and calm no matter what happened. Even if Liu Chan suggested that he lead the troops personally, he would still look calm and calm, but this changed because of this simple sentence.
Lu Fan stopped and looked at Liu Chan gently, with more emotion than reason at this time.
I burned the midnight oil and copied books, and taught earnestly, with many worries and sleepless nights, without asking for anything in return.
But when the child he watched grow up has now grown into a famous and ever-victorious prince, how gratifying is it to be able to remember his sacrifice in his heart?
Zhuge Liang turned to Liu Bei and said with a confident smile: "Liang considers himself the great king, and he can defeat Yue Yong with ease!"
Seeing his appearance, Liu Bei believed that what he said was true, and immediately decided: "Okay! I will order military advisor Zhuge Liang to unite the troops of Jianwei to attack King Jiaoyi!"
"Since Kong Ming recommended someone, I should also recommend someone to the king." Fa Zheng said with a smile.
"I wonder who it is?"
"Qianwei Grand Administrator, Xingye General Li Yan."
"Hiss..." Liu Chan couldn't help but take a breath of air.
