Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 988 Sending troops to attack Shu 2
Gao Shun was the first commander to launch an attack on Western Shu. He quickly broke through several blockades of the Shu army. If it weren't for the Shu army relying on the advantages of the city and natural dangers, I am afraid that Gao Shun's army has already entered the heart of Shu at this time.

"20 days, it's only less than 20 days." Liu Bei walked around the hall anxiously. The battle reports from the front made him very sad. Gao Shun was able to fight and dared to fight. This time, it was Gongsun Xu himself Afterwards, supplies and soldiers from Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other places were sent to the front line through Gongsun Xu's dispatch.

The natural barriers and cities that the Shu army is proud of can only slow down the speed of Gao Shun's army, and it is impossible to completely stop it.In Gao Shun's eyes, there is no city in this world that cannot be broken, and there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome. There are countless siege machines.

After so many years of preparation, Gongsun Xu had already hoarded enough gunpowder, and Gao Shun's use of gunpowder had also reached the point of proficiency. It was with this advantage that he was able to destroy local cities so quickly one after another.

"What's going on in Hanzhong?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Has there been any changes in Yan Liang? Hanzhong has assembled nearly 30 troops. If he stabs us in the back at this time, we will be in trouble." .”

"Judging from the current situation, Yan Liang has already listened to the tune and not the announcement. Gongsun Xu launched the war without knowing Yan Liang's rebellion. It is difficult to stop now." Zhuge Liang replied: "In my opinion, Yan Liang is now up for grabs. He is waiting for Gongsun Xu to give him enough benefits. It has to be said that Yan Liang is in charge of Hanzhong's 30 troops. This is indeed enough to affect the outcome of the war. Yan Liang is unwilling to help us. We don’t dare to do that, so the only thing we can rely on at the moment is ourselves.”

"It doesn't matter, as long as Hanzhong doesn't make trouble, we can still deal with Gao Shun by concentrating all our strength." Liu Bei sighed and said, "Oh, it's a pity that our army doesn't have as many sharp weapons as the opponent, especially that kind of weapon. Weapons called gunpowder and grenades are really shocking, and our soldiers are hard to resist. It is no wonder that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao retreated so quickly and so quickly.

At the beginning, Sima Yi secretly contacted the Northern Huns to go south in order to gain a little breathing time. Later, it was rumored that Gongsun Xu sent only 30 tigers and horses to kill [-] northern Huns. Many, at that time I couldn't figure out how the Huben army could be so powerful. Now that I have seen so many sharp weapons of them, I understand it. My nephew, hehe, hides too many secrets. "

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapons. Looking at the world, no one is better than Gongsun Xu at this point." Zhuge Liang nodded and replied: "I admit this, but weapons are not the decisive factor in war. Everything depends on the person, and the subordinates have the confidence to resist Gao Shun's army."

"I believe in you, Kong Ming, everything is up to you..."

Liu Bei has no choice now. Originally there were many talents in Shu. Unfortunately, because Liu Bei was an outsider and used some improper means to obtain Western Shu, many talents in Shu were unwilling to work for him. In addition, Gongsun Xu's reputation is no worse than him, and his status and power are far above him. Therefore, the heroes of Western Shu will naturally first think of serving Gongsun Xu.

In the barracks of the Han army, groups of Han troops were patrolling. Gao Shun personally led the army standing at the forefront, fighting the Shu army in panic all day long. However, Gao Shun also needs a little rest now, after all, the attack speed is a bit slow. Hurry up, even if the supplies behind can keep up, the physical strength of the soldiers will also be exhausted. Judging from the current situation, the Han army has the upper hand, and Gao Shun is a calm person, so he chose to rest at this time.

"Xiaozhi, I've read your suggestion, and it's very good overall, but, judging from the current situation of our army, we don't need to take such risks." In the big tent, Gao Shun put down a memorial to the one in front of him. The young man said: "My lord is right, you are very capable and good at conspiring, in time, your achievements will definitely not lose to Mr. Feng Xiao, but, Xiao Zhi, you still lack some experience.

Presumably this is also one of the main reasons why the lord has arranged you by my side. The lord has high expectations for you, and he hopes that I can take good care of you so that you can become the backbone of our army as soon as possible. The gains and losses of the land, don't care about the small interests in front of you, you should look at the whole battle situation. "

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, I understand." This young man is called Fa Zheng, who was originally Liu Zhang's subordinate. I thought I would start from the bottom, but who knew that Gongsun Xu would immediately transfer him to Gao Shun's side after seeing his name. Some time ago, Gao Shun led an army to attack Jiaozhou because of Fa Zheng's contribution.

"Liu Bei dispatched troops from the rear to reinforce the front line, and the pressure on our army has also increased." Gao Shun looked at the sand table and said with a smile: "But this is good, my army has attracted Liu Bei's strength of more than seven levels, hehe Hmph, he can't afford to waste this war..."

In the face of Gao Shun's onslaught, Liu Bei finally contained the momentum of the Han army after desperate resistance. Both sides had their own victories. The battle continued for another month. During this month, Gao Shun received support from the rear. Re-arming and intensifying the offensive against the Shu army, and in order to stabilize the defense line, Liu Bei had to choose to continue to increase troops from the rear. It can be said that Liu Bei is now fighting this battle with all his strength at hand.

"It's not good, it's not good, my lord..." A soldier ran into Liu Bei's study in a hurry, interrupting the people who were discussing the military situation.

"What happened, there is no need to be so afraid." Liu Bei said angrily: "Gao Shun is still blocked by our army hundreds of miles away. This place is very safe, what will be bad."

"Hanzhong, it's the Hanzhong side." The man replied: "Yan Liang sent general Xu Huang to lead five thousand elites to attack Jiameng Pass. Yan Liang's army is now gathering towards Jiameng Pass,,,,,,,"

"It's over, this time it's all over..." In an instant, Liu Bei seemed to be ten years older. He looked at the map in despair and said, "This time, we have completely lost. You know how Yan Liang can be persuaded so easily, it seems that they are just playing tricks,,,,,, "

After hearing the news, Zhuge Liang remained silent, he was the one who proposed the plan to win over Yan Liang, but he himself did not expect that his plan not only failed, but was also taken advantage of by others...
