Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 222 The wind is blowing!

Liangshan, Hanzhong County, Hanzhong Governor's Mansion.

The incense burner is placed on the side of the hall, wisps of fragrance are ignited, and the green smoke curls up, making the minds of those sitting sober.

Liu Chanduan sat at the head of the table, and Huang Quan, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Pan Jun and other ministers of civil and military affairs sat on both sides of dozens of people to discuss important matters.

Liu Chan sat upright and asked the crowd seriously, saying: "Everyone has also carefully read the military situation reported by the garrison of various ministries. Ni Wei claimed to have raised 400,000 troops, led by Cao Zhen, the general of Ni Wei, and divided into five groups to attack me."

"Liangzhou is the first road. Guo Huai raised the people of Liangzhou, entangled the Qiang and Hu tribes, and went south to Didao to attack Longxi County. I have sent the left general (Wei Yan) and the former general (Wu Yi) to resist this road."

"In the second route, Wei general Cao Zhen led the elite soldiers of the Wei army, and the army went straight to Longyou, attacking our Hanchang County (formerly Guangwei County); in the third route, Wei general Fei Yao led the Wei soldiers and tried to take the Chencang Road. , went out of Sanguan, and attacked Wudu; the fourth route was led by Cao Wei's famous general Zhang He, who tried to go south to Hanzhong in Guanzhong."

"On the last road, Sima Yi of Jingzhou wants to raise the people of Jingzhou, go up against the Han River, and attack our great Han Ankang County. The enemy who invaded from the five routes is coming fiercely. I don't know what advice you have. Can you teach me to retreat the Wei army?"

Liu Chan talked eloquently, and explained clearly the enemies coming from five directions.

Those present who didn't know how deep they were, heard that Cao Wei sent 400,000 troops, and couldn't help but gasped and whispered.

"quiet!"

The people who were whispering looked over at Wen Sheng, only to see Zhao Yun showing dissatisfaction, holding the 'Tiger Mighty Sword', the scabbard tapped the ground, and said.

Zhao Yun looked at the crowd and said seriously, "It's not proper to whisper in the hall. Twenty years ago, Cao Cao sent 20 people to the south, followed the late emperor and Zhou Lang, and broke the Red Cliff. Cao Cao fled in a hurry. Today 800,000 people, what are you afraid of!"

"Besides, this is a fraudulent claim by Cao Wei. In the Battle of Chibi, the strength of Wei's army was only 200,000, while Cao Cao pretended to have 800,000. Cao Zhen is the same today. What is there to be afraid of?"

At this time, Zhuge Liang spoke up and said: "Zilong's words are very true. Don't worry, everyone. Cao Wei's 400,000 troops are just a bluff. In my opinion, Cao Wei's northern border is restless, and there is Dongwu in the south. How can there be 400,000 people? Its military strength is no more than 200,000. Our big Han is in danger of the Qinling Mountains and Longshan Mountains, which is worth [-] soldiers."

The dangers of mountains, rivers and rivers seem invisible, but in fact they have the greatest impact on the war, and sometimes directly determine the outcome.

Hearing this, Yang Yi was very knowledgeable, took the lead and bowed his hands in praise: "I have lost my temper! I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Then the other civil and military ministers handed over their hands and confessed in unison.

Zhuge Liang came out and comforted everyone, saying: "Your Majesty, I think that the five routes of Cao Wei and Wei are nothing to be afraid of. Cao Wei's intention in this battle is to recapture Longyou. Zhang He and Fei Yao are just pretending to contain our troops. , so apart from Sima Yi of Jingzhou, the other paths are not dangerous."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, and said with a smile: "Cao Zhen's army, the chariot general is sitting in Longyou, and he can retreat by relying on the danger of Longshan; Lead the army to retreat; Zilong and Zijun guard Hanzhong, enough to resist Zhang He and Fei Yao."

Liu Chan nodded slightly. Zhuge Liang's remarks had been discussed with Liu Chan before, and Liu Chan also agreed.

Liu Chan's eyes fell on Huang Quan, and he said in a deep voice: "General Cheqi is in charge of Qinzhou's military. He has lived in Longyou for a long time, and he fought Cao Zhen in Wuzhangyuan. I don't know if he is willing to accept this important task and lead Longyou to resist the Wei army?"

Hearing this, Huang Quan stood up and knelt down in response: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take on this important task to resist Cao Zhen's army. It's just..."

Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "General Che Qi, if you want anything, you can say it here."

"Longyou's troops are insufficient. I don't know if Your Majesty and the Prime Minister can send reinforcements to help me." Huang Quan cupped his hands and said.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and said: "Cao Wei's attack on me this time intends to capture Long. Presumably Cao Zhen's subordinates are the main force, and the army strength is around 5000 to [-]. Longyou's current army strength is only more than [-], which is indeed insufficient. Your Majesty, Your Majesty. I thought I could send Zhennan General (Fu Kuang) with [-] people in the central army to support General Chariot and Cavalry.”

Liu Chan nodded in agreement. There are 40,000 people in Longyou, excluding the 5000 people who are stationed in various places to maintain law and order, plus the 5000 people who went north to Liangzhou from Wei Yan, there are 30,000 people left.In addition to the 5000 people led by Fu Kuang, Huang Quan has nearly 50,000 people under his command, and Longshan is enough to resist Cao Zhen's 6-8 army.

"I don't know what the chariot general wants?"

Hearing this, Huang Quan showed joy, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Fu Yuanbi listens to the order, and from now on Qing will be transferred to the chariot general's account to listen to the order." Liu Chan ordered.

"No." Fu Kuang bowed his hands and said yes.

Liu Chan thought about the enemy in Jingzhou, looked at Zhuge Liang, and said, "I don't know how many troops Xiangfu plans to lead eastward to resist Sima Yi."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and said: "The soldiers Sima Yi raised were no more than the people in Jingzhou. Wei Tunzha Jingzhou had seven to 80,000 people, but there is Soochow in the south, and Sima Yi must have sent up [-] soldiers at most. The minister thought that the two An army of [-] marches eastward to resist it."

After a pause, Zhuge Liang continued: "Zhang Yun and Fei Yao are part of the army. The combined army of the two of them can't exceed [-] troops. With the strength of Hanzhong, it should be no problem to hold on to the dangerous point and block them."

The Hanzhong army had a total of 5000 people, 7000 people were transferred to assist Wei Yanbei to go to Liangzhou, and [-] people were transferred to support Longyou, leaving [-] people in Hanzhong.

Zhuge Liang led another 30,000 troops to the east, and together with the 7000 troops originally stationed in Ankang County, there were a total of [-] people. In the end, there were only [-] people left in Hanzhong.

With 7000 people relying on the Qinling Mountains, as long as the Wei army does not exceed 60,000 people, it should be no problem to retreat the enemy.

If you add the three thousand Yulin cavalry who followed Liu Chan to the north, there are a total of 30,000 people, which is more than enough to defend Hanzhong.

After Liu Chan thought about it, he nodded in satisfaction. Zhuge Liang's arrangement of various armies was justified.

按大汉估计，曹魏各路最大的出兵可能性计算，曹真8万vs黄权近5万；张郃、费耀二人6万vs赵云、王平2.7万，司马懿5万人vs诸葛亮3万人；郭淮2万人vs魏延、吴懿1.3万人。

"Yes, according to Xiangfu's arrangement." Liu Chan said.

Liu Chan frowned again and pondered for a while, and asked: "Father Xiang, I don't know what's going on in the Eastern Wu in the past few months. Can you let Sun Quan send troops to Jingzhou to help my big man fight back against the enemy?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Brother Chen said in a letter a few days ago that after Lord Wu proclaimed himself emperor, he was busy moving the capital and building a business, and had no time to take care of Jiangbei. Moreover, the Wuxi Man in Jingzhou rebelled, and the Jingzhou army encircled and suppressed the Wuxi Man. We may not be able to help you in this battle. Let me wait, I am a big man and I need to strengthen myself."

Hearing this, Liu Chan wasn't angry at all. Sun Quan had imagined that he wouldn't hold back the big man, and he was counting on him to send troops, thank God.

Liu Chan restrained his expression, got up and stood, pressed the Han sword in his hand, looked around the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Zhuge Bosong, Guan Anguo, Yang Weigong, Lu Jiyang listen to the order!"

"The minister is here!" The four stood up and responded.

Liu Chan straightened his waist, put his hand on the Han sword, and said: "The grain and grass in Longyou will be escorted to Bosong; the military grain that Wei Wenchang went north to Liangzhou will be handled by Guan Anguo; , will be handled by Lu Jiyang. You and the other four must guarantee that there will be no shortage of military rations!"

"No!" The four responded.

Liu Chan bowed his hands to everyone to show respect, and said: "In this case, I will hold a banquet in Hanzhong and wait for you to return in victory. I hope you will not let me down!"

"We will live up to His Majesty's expectations!" Everyone in the hall shouted in unison.
