Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 987 Sending troops to attack Shu 1
"My lord, it's done, it's done..." In Liu Bei's mansion in Chengdu, the emissary who appeared in Yan Liang's tent many days ago is now in front of Liu Bei, and he said excitedly: "My subordinate Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life, and finally persuaded Yan Liang."

"Xianhe, what did you say?" The envoy was Jian Yong, a counselor who had followed Liu Bei for many years. Liu Bei quickly helped him up and asked, "You mean that Yan Liang agreed to us? Okay, hahaha, Yan Liang has already rebelled, so the pressure from Hanzhong is gone, quickly, go and find the military adviser, let's discuss together."

When he heard that Jian Yong had come back, Zhuge Liang also ran over excitedly. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Bei's face filled with a smile. Zhuge Liang was convinced that Jian Yong must have brought back good news.

After learning the whole story, Zhuge Liang looked at Jian Yong and said, "Is Yan Liang the only one who agrees? What about Xu Rong? He won't join us?"

"I can't help it. I can say that it is extremely difficult to move Yan Liang, so Xu Rong still refuses to bow his head." Jian Yong replied: "If it wasn't for the fact that the military division's arrangement in Jingzhou had an effect, and Yan Liang's family soldiers happened to be If he arrives, I'm afraid that Yan Liang won't let go. Yan Liang's sworn brother Wen Chou originally wanted to capture and kill me, but when he learned that his son died in Jingzhou, he was also stunned. .

I took the opportunity to continue persuading Yan Liang, and at the same time released news that Gongsun Xu would soon know about my mission to Hanzhong. Even so, Yan Liang was still hesitant, but judging from the situation at the time, Yan Liang was obviously tempted , coupled with the loss of his beloved son, he couldn't think too much, Xu Rong wanted to persuade him, but was kicked to the ground by Yan Liang.

This kick can be regarded as kicking Yan Liang to a dead end. Wen Chou thought that Yan Liang decided to rebel, and Xu Rong also thought so. Wen Chou and Yan Liang were brothers who were like brothers. Controlled Xu Rong first, and made a big mistake. In desperation, Yan Liang had no choice but to agree. "

"Where is Xu Rong? Did he say anything?" Zhuge Liang asked: "A large part of Hanzi's Han army is under Xu Rong's command. He is also the key target we want to fight for."

"Xu Rong refused to let go, Wen Chou had subdued him by then, and Wen Chou's attack was too ruthless, Yan Liang couldn't stop him, Xu Rong was already seriously injured." Jian Yong replied: "It's a pity, if that Xu Rong definitely let go, Things are easier."

"That's it..." Zhuge Liang frowned and was lost in thought, as if he wanted to find something from Jian Yong's words.

"Military teacher, is there something wrong?" Liu Bei asked anxiously, "Are you worried that we failed to convince Xu Rong?"

"I don't see anything wrong for the time being." Zhuge Liang replied, "However, according to the current situation, this result is the most reasonable."

"Oh, how do you see it?"

"If even Xu Rong is persuaded by us, it is likely to be false." Zhuge Liang explained: "Behind Yan Liang is the Yan family, which is also a big family in Jizhou, and Xu Rong is just a lowly man born in a bitter cold. People are just the biggest difference between Xu Rong and Yan Liang.

Back then, Xu Rong was appreciated by Gongsun Xu and he is today. It can be said that everything that Xu Rong owned came from Gongsun Xu, but Yan Liang was different. Not less, and, these years, Gongsun Xu's series of policies in the north have harmed the interests of many aristocratic families, including the Yan family. It is said that the Yan family has lost [-]% of their land. No further comments, that is absolutely impossible.

Furthermore, Yan Liang is arrogant and has outstanding abilities, but Gongsun Xu placed him in Xiliang, a bitter and cold place. When he attacked the rich Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou, Yan Liang had no part. There was no role for Yan Liang at all times, and there was no role for Yan Liang when he attacked the Western Regions and plundered Anxi.

For these years, Yan Liang has been staying in Xiliang. Every day, besides training the army, he also has to vigorously rectify the local government affairs. If things are not done well, he will be scolded by Gongsun Xu. May I ask what benefits Yan Liang has gained from this poor and remote place in Xiliang these years? ?
On the other hand, the other three commanders under Gongsun Xu's command, Gao Shun guarded Jingzhou, and went south to Jiangdong, which is a rich land. Zhao Yun guarded the Western Regions and controlled the Silk Road and the trade market in the Western Regions. Who knows the oil and water there, Xu Rong He is in charge of the trade in Hetao, Grassland and other places, and has opened up the direct road to the Western Regions. It is only the money gifts given to him by those caravans, which can load hundreds of cars every day. But Yan Liang, although he is also in charge of The Silk Road, after all, is under everyone's nose, and Gongsun Xu has repeatedly warned to encourage trade, so he won't get much benefit at all. "

"So that's the case. No wonder the military adviser said from the very beginning that the focus should be on Yan Liang. It turned out to be like this." Liu Bei nodded and said, "After hearing the military adviser's analysis, I understand the key. The military adviser has insight into people's hearts. Very human and ah,,,,,, "

Hanzhong and Chengdu are still far away from Jiangdong. Even if there is any news that day, it cannot be passed on in time. The one-month period has come, and Gongsun Xu temporarily solved the big problem of Shanyue in Jiangdong. Gao Shun is in Lingling. After gathering the soldiers and horses, he led the army to march towards Xishu, and the final battle for unification of the world finally started.

Gao Shun only led an army of 20. If he wanted to conquer the whole of Western Shu, this number alone would definitely not be enough. According to the original plan, apart from Gao Shun, Hanzhong would dispatch nearly [-] troops. At the same time, Gongsun Xu has mobilized [-] troops from Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other places to support Gao Shun.

So many troops have been invested in the war from the beginning, which shows how much Gongsun Xu attaches great importance to the attack on Western Shu. In order to support the frontline operations, all the grain and grass from Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other places were transported to the south of Jingzhou. The rear to ensure the food and grass needs of the frontline troops.

At this moment, Gongsun Xu is handing over the matter at hand to his subordinates. The [-] Shanyue troops recruited from Shanyue and other places have been assembled and are now heading towards Lingling. Said that in this battle, Gongsun Xu used about [-]% of the mountain warfare troops in his hand. If it weren't for the fact that the cavalry was not suitable for large-scale battles in Shu, he might have transferred all the [-] forward troops in one go.

"It's time to end." In the camp, Gongsun Xu looked at the sand table about Xishu in front of him and sighed: "After so many years, it's finally coming to an end. I hope this war won't last too long. The world has been in turmoil for many years. , the people were displaced, and the vitality of the Han people was seriously injured. If it weren't for my men from northern Xinjiang to guard the northern line of defense and repel the Hu people outside the Great Wall, I am afraid that the tragedy of the five chaos in China has already begun. I will never let this happen.,,,,, "
