The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 828
"Not long after Wanyan Aguda defeated Goguryeo, because Goguryeo surrendered to Jurchen under the hands of Yuangai Suwen, it didn't take much time to recuperate. As early as May, Jurchen launched an attack. Now Liu Bei and Jurchen are fighting each other in Liaodong. More than two months!"

"At this time, should I send troops?"

Liu Bian was very distressed, wondering if now is the best time to deal with Liu Beibing.

"Call all the ministers into the palace for discussion!" Liu Bian thought for a long time, and decided to brainstorm, call the ministers to discuss and listen to their opinions.

But after a while, a group of ministers came together, including three high-ranking officials Xun Yu, Xun You, Liu Bowen, Di Renjie, Wei Xiaokuan, Li Xianzhong, as well as the new chief of the Imperial Academy, Xie An, Guozijian Jijiu Guo Jia and others.

Everyone came to the study to sit down, Liu Bian cut to the chase and said, "My lords, now that Liu Bei is fighting against Jurchen in Youzhou in the north, do you think I should fight against Liu Bei at this time?"

The ministers looked at each other, and Liu Bowen cupped his hands and asked, "I don't know what concerns your Majesty has?"

Liu Bian murmured: "Liu Bei's strength is not weak, but I know that he is not the opponent of the Jurchen. The Jurchen are not afraid of the severe cold, and they can still fight even in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month. But Liu Bei's soldiers are not. Although the two sides are currently in a confrontational situation, But when winter comes, Liu Bei's situation may take a turn for the worse, and he will be in a disadvantageous situation."

"But Liu Bei's strength is not weak. If I send troops at this time, I will definitely be in a stalemate for a short time. In this way, Liu Bei will be dragged down if the two sides attack. I'm dead and broken. Jurchen will attack when the time comes, and I will suffer heavy losses! Being taken advantage of by Jurchen will ruin my luck."

Liu Bian continued: "This is the concern of sending troops now, but wait until Liu Bei is defeated by the Jurchens before sending troops. Occupying the north of Youbeiping, it will be very difficult for me to get rid of them!"

Liu Bian was worried that history would repeat itself. Since Shi Jingtang defected to Khitan at the end of Tang Dynasty and ceded Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Youzhou has been falling into the hands of foreigners.During this period, several talented and general emperors tried to regain the lost land, but all ended in failure. It was not until the founding of the Ming Dynasty that Youzhou was regained.

Liu Bian was afraid that when he attacked Liu Bei, the Jurchens would take advantage of the loopholes and let the Jurchens seize the land of Youzhou, which would be difficult to recover and become a sinner in history.

After all, Liu Bian couldn't grasp Liu Bei's mind. Once Liu Bei was in a disadvantageous situation, Liu Bian couldn't guess whether he would choose to die or surrender.

Surrendering was fine, Liu Bian could still maintain his vitality and resist the Jurchen invasion, but if the fish died and the net was broken, Liu Bian's vitality would be severely injured, and the Jurchen took advantage of the loophole.

"Do you think we should send troops now, or wait until Liu Bei is defeated?" Liu Bian looked at the crowd and asked.

Everyone was also lost in thought, thinking about the pros and cons.

After thinking for a while, Xie An took the lead and said: "First of all, if Your Majesty attacks Liu Bei at this time, Liu Bei's subordinates will definitely be united, and even the common people will desperately resist.

But this is only a temporary disadvantage. If you plan for the long-term, it is the best policy for Your Majesty to take this opportunity to annihilate Liu Bei and resist Jurchen! "

Liu Bowen also nodded in agreement and said: "Liu Bei will not be a minister after all, why should your majesty be so soft-hearted? If you attack him at this time, the people of Youzhou will only suffer. Once the hearts of the people will return to you soon, once the Jurchens occupy Youzhou, the people will be in a foreign country. Under the rule, it may be painful for several lifetimes!"

"From a long-term perspective, Your Majesty must take advantage of the situation to attack Liu Bei, so as to prevent Youzhou from being occupied by Jurchen!" Several other civil servants also said, clasping their hands.

A group of courtiers have very different personalities, but Liu Bian did not expect that the opinions of the courtiers on this issue are surprisingly one.

Wei Xiaokuan said with a smile: "Liu Bei has always regarded himself as benevolent and righteous. If he loses the battle with the Jurchens, His Majesty can use the popular support to force him to surrender. Even if Liu Bei chooses to die, I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, can't I still be able to withstand the mere Jurchen barbarians?" ?”

Li Xianzhong said in a deep voice: "That is, if the soldiers and horses of Youzhou are injured by Liu Bei and cause the Jurchen to enter the pass, my big Han soldiers will definitely resist to the death and fight for every inch of land!"

Liu Bian couldn't help being moved when he heard the words, even though these civil servants were so bloody in the face of foreign invasion, how could he fall behind as the Son of Heaven.

Liu Bian laughed and said: "You guys are passionate, and I won't have any worries anymore. For my long-term plan, I decided to take this opportunity to attack Liu Bei, and never let the land of Youzhou fall into the hands of Jurchen!"

"I decided to set off for Youzhou in three days, and urge the troops to attack Liu Bei! Do you have any suggestions?" Liu Bian looked at the ministers and asked.

"Your Majesty, I have three proposals to offer, and I hope Your Majesty will accept them!" Xun You said, clasping his hands.

"Aiqing, come quickly!" Liu Bian said hastily.

"First, keep writing Liu Bei to make him surrender, and use the people of Youzhou as an excuse to declare righteousness! Disrupt Liu Bei's heart.

Second, Your Majesty can buy people's hearts. Except for the two generals Guan and Zhang, other generals under Liu Bei's command will soon join the ranks. Your Majesty can be moved with emotion, reason, and lure them. Liu Bei's civil and military relations will definitely change!

The third is the opposite of the first strategy. If Liu Bei is unwilling to surrender, His Majesty can incite the hearts of the people in Youzhou, count Liu Bei's crimes, and make Liu Bei lose their hearts.If Liu Bei and Jurchen lose the battle, the people will panic and everyone will turn to the Han! "

After hearing this, Liu Bian clapped his hands and praised: "Aiqing's three strategies made my spear stop suddenly. In this way, it will be much easier for me to fight Liu Bei."

Wei Xiaokuan added: "Your Majesty is fighting Liu Bei, and Liu Bei will definitely divide his troops. One side defends the Jurchen, and the other side defends Your Majesty. Your Majesty should focus on attacking the heart and attacking the city. Save your strength and deal with the Jurchen! Don't fight Liu Bei head-on, waste your strength , once the strategy of attacking the heart works, Liu Bei's troops might be used by His Majesty."

Liu Bian nodded and said, "I have been taught!"

A group of courtiers brainstormed, and soon formulated a marching plan for Liu Bian, a grand blueprint.

Three days later, Liu Bian led his troops to Youzhou with [-] soldiers and horses, and his generals Yang Yansi, Yang Miaozhen, and Dian Wei followed.Civil servant Liu Bian brought Guo Jia, Wei Xiaokuan, Jiang Gan and others.

Most of the other civil servants held important positions and could not leave. Guo Jia had never held an important official position, and because of his outstanding strategy, he was brought out.The Ministry of Rites that Wei Xiaokuan is in charge of is the most relaxed department among the six departments, and the affairs can be handed over to the deputy.What's more, when going to Youzhou this time, the strategy of attacking the mind is the most important. Wei Xiaokuan, a counselor who is good at manipulating people's hearts, naturally needs it.

And Jiang Gan has a pair of eloquent teeth and sharp mouth, no less than a heroic soldier, and Jiang Gan is also needed as a lobbyist.

The soldiers and horses marched all the way beyond Sishuiguan, passing through Jizhou, all the way north, and looking at Youzhou after a few days.
