Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 290 The Foreshadowing of a Huge Plan for Ten Years

Liu Bei knew that Zhao Feng was about to make a move.Although he still didn't know what Zhao Feng's specific plan was, Liu Bei still ordered, as agreed, to let the various ministries in Jingzhou prepare food and grass to provide the army with needs.But at this time in Chengdu, apart from Ju Shou who rushed over from Liangzhou, the rest of the Yizhou high-level leaders headed by Zhao Feng were also present.Even Lu Xun of Brazil asked Wu Ban to take charge of military affairs temporarily, and he took a boat from Dianjiang to Chengdu overnight to participate in the discussion.

"Everyone, since the autumn of the previous year, I have been recruiting soldiers, collecting food and grass, and making ordnance. Now, the new army recruited last time has finished training. So I intend to send troops immediately to fight Sima Yi." Looking at the darkness in the room A group of people, Zhao Feng said slowly.

Although he knew that Zhao Feng would not call everyone together indiscriminately, but when he really said these words, there was still a slight commotion in the room.Since Sima Yi occupied Hanzhong three years ago, he is like a big stone on everyone's heart.Now that Zhao Feng is ready, he wants to fight Sima Yi to take back Hanzhong. As the so-called get rid of the troubles in his heart, everyone's wish has been fulfilled.

When the excitement subsided a little, everyone knew that this time the opponent was not ordinary, far from what Zhang Lu could match.Sima Yi is resourceful, and occupying Guanzhong and Hanzhong, his foundation is far deeper than that of Zhang Lu.In addition, his wife has been preaching again in Hanzhong in the past few years, and the hearts of the people in Hanzhong have returned to him.As a result, it is not easy to capture Hanzhong.

"General, Sima Yi has far-reaching plans. If he wants to enter Hanzhong, he must plan carefully and discuss a perfect plan!" Lu Xun said first.The year before last, he had suffered a big loss in Sima Yi's hands and lost Hanzhong, and in the past two years he had confronted Sima Yi in Brazil, and Lu Xun was also extremely afraid of this opponent.

"I know that Sima Yi is a great person, so I summoned you all to discuss a perfect plan." Zhao Feng smiled, and then ordered: "Bo Yan, you and Yuan Xiong led an army of [-] from Jinniu Road to Hanzhong to attract Sima Yi's attention. attention."

"Golden Bull Way?" Hearing this, it was not Lu Xun who was astonished, but Zhang Ren.But Zhao Feng laughed and said: "The road of Jinniu Road is rough, but it can avoid the natural danger of Yangpingguan. Since then, Sima Yi will not dare to send troops to garrison with only a few troops. This time, Bo Yan can hold back tens of thousands of Sima Yi."

"Xun understands!" Lu Xun nodded, sometimes he had to cover up his feelings.After assigning tasks to Lu Xun, Zhao Feng said to Jushou again: "Mr. Zezhu, after you return to Xiliang, please ask General Ma to raise troops out of Jincheng, press into Guanlong, threaten Guanzhong, and restrain some troops!"

"Okay!" Ju Shou has always been concise and to the point, he just nodded and said this word.

"The 14 Sichuan Army, except for the [-] guarding Nanzhong, the rest will follow me this time. Gongyi, Boyang, Xiaozhi, and Boqi, you will come with me and lead the remaining [-] Sichuan Army, and take [-] building ships along the way. Go down the Yangtze River, go out from Wu Gorge to Yidu County, then go north from Zigui, join Zhang Shusi and Wang Guoshan there, and then attack Hanzhong via the Han River!" Zhao Feng continued to arrange.Except for Fazheng, Zhang Ren and Huang Quan, everyone else knew nothing about this.

"Does the general want to build plank roads openly and hide Chen Cang in secret?" Lu Xun asked, his eyes lit up when he heard the words, but then he frowned slightly and said, "Sima Yi is extremely cautious, so even if he sends troops from the three eastern counties, he will not be unwarranted. "

"Hey, General, why don't you use Jingzhou's military horses to send troops from Shangyong?" Ma Di also asked a little strangely.

"At present, the recruits are not yet proficient in drills. Jingzhou soldiers still need to assist Xuzhou and Yanzhou in defending against Cao Cao. There are not many Jingzhou troops that can be mobilized!" Zhao Feng explained.Unlike the Nanzhong army horses I recruited, the source of the Jingzhou army is basically ordinary people, while most of the Nanzhong army are mountain people, with some martial arts skills, many of them are even hunters, or they used to be private members of the tribe in Nanzhong. soldier.To train them into an army, you basically just need to practice cooperation.The last time Liu Bei suffered heavy losses, both the Xuzhou Army and the Yuzhou Army suffered more than half of the casualties. Now only the Jingzhou Army has a relatively complete organizational system, so the Jingzhou Army was transferred to guard the place.

"I see!" Ma Di nodded in understanding.Going down the Jialing River, it takes only a few days to reach the mouth of Wu Gorge, and then go north from Zigui, which is much better than nesting here.

"After I enter the three eastern counties, I will implement the second part of the plan. At that time, I will have 8 Sichuan troops plus [-] local garrisons, and I should have [-] horses. Since Shangyong marched into Hanzhong, General Yan and Wu Ziyu Lead [-] mediocre soldiers as the front, I will lead [-] frontless flying troops, and [-] Danyang elite soldiers as the central army, and you will lead the remaining [-] troops as the rear." Zhao Feng continued to arrange.

"General, why is this?" Zhang Ren asked in surprise when he heard the words.The distribution of the [-] troops in such a way is that the middle is weak and the tail is too big to lose.Lu Xun looked at the map carefully, and after a while he exclaimed: "General, do you want to lead ten thousand flying troops to raid Chang'an in Meridian Valley?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's face changed drastically.The valley entrance of Ziwu Valley is indeed within the jurisdiction of Dongsan County, but the Ziwu Valley road is extremely steep and has always been inaccessible. It is still a matter of whether people can walk now, but Zhao Fengfeng did not expect Zhao Feng to use such a dangerous plan.Especially Wang Ping, he was well aware of the steepness of Ziwu Valley Road, and his face turned pale when he heard this plan.

"Bo Yan, you are only half right. It is true that I went to Meridian Valley, but I did not raid Chang'an, but marched into Qingni Pass, Tongguan and Pubanjin. Righteousness, after I lead the army to Meridian Valley, you will Lead the last 5 troops to withdraw from the East Three Counties, and then take Nanxiang and Wuguan to enter Guanzhong. At that time, you and I will have a total of more than [-] troops, and the Wuguan Road will be opened. Follow-up troops can continue to enter Guanzhong. Guan Zhong, in this way, even if Sima Yi is extremely capable, it will be difficult for him to stand up!" Zhao Feng said confidently.The last few words were uttered, which really made people dumbfounded.

"Wuguan!" Ma Di was the first one to come back to his senses after a long while, sighing authentically.Ten years have passed since Gan Ning led his army upstream to capture Wuguan. During this period, Hao Zhao was stationed at Wuguan.When Wuguan was captured, Hao Zhao was sent to garrison. Although Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu wanted to have a drink to release the military power and take Liu Pan away, it was also Zhao Feng who sent Hao Zhao to garrison.Zhao Feng buried this pawn secretly, and has not used it for ten years, in order to be able to surprise when he marched into Guanzhong.

The reason why Guanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack is that it has Sanguan, Xiaoguan, Hangu Pass, and Wuguan, which are rare in the world, and guards all the passages into the pass.As long as one of them is opened, the army can enter Guanzhong unimpeded.Although the road on Wuguan Road is rugged, it is much better than the road in Xichuan.If the Wuguan Road can be opened, troops can be continuously transferred from Nanyang into Guanzhong.At that time, in the decisive battle in the Guanzhong Plain, Sima Yi will not be able to defend to the death, and the exits such as Tongguan and Pubanjin have been strangled to death, so he can only be crushed forcibly because of his lack of strength.This plan, to use a popular word to describe it, is to close the door and beat the dog.

Use Lu Xun and Ma Chao's feint to attract Sima Yi's idea, then take the three eastern counties to attack Hanzhong, then take the Meridian Valley Road to raid Guanzhong, and then take the Wuguan Road to enter Guanzhong. This plan has three layers of deception.Even if Sima Yi was resourceful, he would never have guessed that Zhao Feng's real intention would be Wuguan.

Of course, another reason is that Wuguan has been taken away by Liu Bei for ten years, but Liu Bei has not used Wuguan for so many years, and there is still a defense line of Qingni Pass in Guanzhong.Therefore, this very important pass seems to have become less important.At least, everyone subconsciously ignored it.But sometimes, there is a price to pay for neglecting it.According to the news sent by Zhao Feng, the guard of Tongguan is the former deputy general of Xia Houyuan, Jiang Qi who has now taken refuge in Sima Yi, the guard of Qingnikou Pass Huang Tong is an unknown person, and the guard of Pubanjin is a member of the Sima family. Sima Dao, a descendant of the clan.Because the former Tongguan and Pubanjin border on Hedong County, the latter is too steep, so the number of defenders is quite limited.After I led the army out of the Meridian Valley Road, with the unprecedented elite flying army, it was not a problem to raid these two places.And after Zhang Ren's [-] troops entered Guanzhong, they could calmly attack Chang'an.Even if Sima Yi knew the exact news, he still needed some time to react.During this period, he could calmly deploy manpower to garrison various passes, and then dispatch troops and horses from Jingzhou and other places to attack the pass and completely wipe out Sima Yi.

"The general's strategy is ingenious. But Ziwu Valley Road has not been walked for many years. If something goes wrong here, everything will be over!" Lu Xun sighed after recovering.

"Back then, Danyang's elite soldiers could walk through the plank road at Yinping Pass, but now it's more convenient to replace them with the Unprecedented Flying Army!" Zhao Feng laughed.This plan is indeed a bit risky, but there is no plan in this world that is not risky at all, and secondly, if this plan is successful, then it will be a matter of course for Liu Bei to occupy Guanzhong.Even the unification of the world is just around the corner.

To calm down this turbulent world as soon as possible is also Zhao Feng's greatest hope all along.He knew in his heart that if he attacked every city and every place step by step, it would take at least ten years to pacify the world.It may even take decades, just like in history.Once the war ends, there will really be no peace.I promised the old Taoist Zuo Ci that he would restore the world as soon as possible, so this risk is worth taking.

Except for Fazheng, everyone's expressions changed drastically. No one would be indifferent to this adventurous plan.However, all the people present were brave people. After fighting in their hearts, Zhang Ren was the first to say: "The general's plan is very clever. Ren is willing to lead the way and help the general capture Guanzhong!"

"Once the Guanzhong is captured, Sima Yi can only be confined to a corner of Hanzhong, and will be destroyed sooner or later. Although this plan is a little risky, I am willing to work with the general!" Lu Xun agreed after he collected his mind.With the words of the two of them, no one else wants to be a coward.At present, Zhao Feng left Huang Quan to stay in Xichuan to supervise the food and grass for Lu Xun's army, and led the army to act according to the plan.

In the third year of Huanglong, in April 213 AD, Yizhou Mu and Zuo General Zhao Feng sent his general, Guanghan prefect Lu Xun to lead an army of [-] troops, falsely claiming that [-] people entered Hanzhong from Jinniu Road.At the same time, Ma Chao, the governor of Liangzhou, led an army of [-] troops out of Jincheng to enter Longxi.As soon as these two groups of people arrived, Sima Yi was in a hurry.
