Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 311
"Feng'er, Ah Dou, come and have a look. This Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, has a very good handwriting, much better than your brothers!" Seeing Cao Pi's handwritten letter, Liu Bei actually praised him.Beside him, Liu Feng and his sons were all there.

Liu Feng is 16 years old this year, but his younger brothers are only seven or eight years old.Father and son crowded together to have a look, and finally Liu Feng concluded: "Cao Pi's calligraphy is really not bad. Don't say that my brothers are not as good as him. I am afraid that among the courtiers, there are only a few calligraphy masters." Everyone can compare with it!"

"Exactly, the calligraphy of Cao Mengde and his son's articles is widely circulated in the world. I am not as good as that!" Liu Bei is also a bachelor, knowing that his own calligraphy is not good enough.Since Liu Bei ascended the throne last year, Liu Feng, who was originally the county magistrate in Xiangshan, was transferred back to Guanzhong and became the prince and concurrently served as the captain of Hu Qi.Liu Bei also proceeded step by step and began to train his successors.

"It seems that the first step of Kong Ming's strategy has been realized, and it's time to start the second step!" Liu Bei said leisurely.So from the next day, all the troops and horses under Liu Bei's command began to operate according to the pre-agreed plan.Even Zhao Feng, who was in the deep mountains of Xichuan, received an order to hand over the defense of Xichuan to Lu Xun, lead his army out of Xichuan, go to Xiabian and Tazhong to meet Pound there, and then go to Chang'an to meet Liu Bei , Discuss the military situation and wait for the next step instructions.

"It seems that Your Majesty is going to make some big moves, otherwise, I wouldn't even have to mobilize the people of Xichuan!" Zhao Feng speculated after reading it, and everyone nodded when they heard the words, and finally Huang Quan asked: "My lord , it seems that the lord is going to deal with Sima Yi, but why don't you mobilize the troops in Jingzhou and directly march from the bottom?"

"It seems that Jingzhou's troops have other uses, so we transferred our Xichuan soldiers and horses. Boyan, this time it is you who will guard Xichuan, and I will lead the army out of Xichuan to follow the plan." Zhao Feng finally said.By now, he has basically adapted to the title of prince, at least not as sensitive as it was at the beginning.

"Don't worry, general, this matter is on my shoulders!" Lu Xun nodded and said, Zhao Feng and Lu Xun divided their troops.In the last battle of Guanzhong, Xichuan soldiers lost less than 2 people.Now Sima Yi's troops are limited and unable to attack, so this time it is only necessary to leave 4 to [-] people stationed in Xichuan to prevent changes in Nanzhong, instead of using tens of thousands of horses to contain Sima Yi as before.

A few days later, Zhang Ren led the [-] Sichuan Army out of Chengdu, passing through Mianzhu and Jiangyou along the Wenshan Road, and went to Xiabian to station temporarily.Zhao Feng himself only led his personal guards, and went down the river until Yidu County went north to Xincheng County, then took Wuguan Road into Guanzhong, and went to Chang'an to meet Liu Bei.

When he arrived in Chang'an, he discovered that almost all the important generals from various places had come to Chang'an.Guan Yu from Jingzhou, Wei Yan from Qingzhou, Li Yan from Yanzhou, Zhang Liao from Yuzhou, Gao Lan from Yangzhou and Ma Chao from Liangzhou had all arrived, but he was the last one.There can only be one explanation for such a move: Liu Bei is going to make another big move.

Zhao Feng remembered that the last time he mobilized his troops in such a way was in Shouchun eight years ago, which resulted in the success of Liu Bei's first Northern Expedition; and for the second Northern Expedition, Liu Bei was eager for quick success, and led the army northward without waiting for a proper negotiation. Due to Pang Tong's constraints, he was almost trapped in Xingyang for life and death.This time Liu Bei acted cautiously, and it seemed that his chances of winning were greater.

"Prince Zhao, it's been a long time!" When Zhao Feng arrived in Chang'an, they called him one by one, and the titles were changed from General Zhao in the past to Lord Zhao. It still sounded a bit awkward.All the way to the palace in a daze, and met Liu Bei.

"You have had a hard time all the way. I have summoned you to come here now, and I want to work together with you to design to completely defeat Cao Wei and rule the world!" Liu Bei looked at the crowd and said slowly.

"Oh!" As soon as the words came out, everyone couldn't help but whispered.Although he knew that Liu Bei had nothing to do and called everyone over, but when he said it himself, he couldn't help being excited.As long as they win one more game, they will be able to completely dominate the world.After so many years of struggle, it can be regarded as a result.Everyone is really tired of this kind of endless battle.

"Your Majesty, the [-] Xiliang iron cavalry under my command are ready, and I am willing to lead the battle for Your Majesty!" Ma Chao, who was the first to react, volunteered.

"Brother, Jingzhou and Central Plains army horses have also finished training, and they can go north at any time!" Guan Yu also took the initiative to ask for a fight.Then Zhang Fei, Li Yan and others all asked for a fight, Liu Bei nodded, and suddenly found that Zhao Feng just nodded, but didn't take the initiative to ask for a fight, so he couldn't help wondering: "Bo Tao, why, don't you think about this battle?"

"I don't dare!" Zhao Feng hurriedly said, looked at the crowd, but Zhao Feng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, now that Cao Cao is dead, what's the point of mere Cao Pi? With all of you here, I am not afraid that he will overwhelm the world."

"What?" Liu Bei didn't expect it, and Zhao Feng started to play lazy again.Shaking his head helplessly, Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, share your plan with everyone in detail!"

"Yes!" After Zhuge Liang responded, he opened his mouth and said, "On the order of His Majesty the day before yesterday, Sima Lang, Prime Minister of Shanyang County, wrote a letter of surrender to Cao Pi, saying that Sima Lang had persuaded Huang Bing, the governor of Jinan County, I am willing to take advantage of your Majesty’s Central Plains army to conquer Sima Yi, and support Cao Pi to fight across the Yellow River. After the success, I only ask Cao Pi to bypass the Sima clan."

"I'm afraid Cao Pi won't be fooled!" Guan Yu said suddenly, and Zhang Liao also nodded in agreement: "Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and others are all people with far-reaching schemes, and it is difficult to hide such a false surrender plan from him."

"I never thought of deceiving them!" Zhuge Liang smiled, and then continued to explain: "After the king of Xiangyang and Duke Runan returned to Jingzhou and Yuzhou, they immediately gathered their troops to Guanzhong and Xuzhou. Such a large army mobilization must be Can't hide Cao Jun's secret work. After Cao Pi learned about it, he must think that we really wanted to lure him to the Central Plains, so all the generals and horses gathered in the Central Plains to prepare for an ambush. Then he would definitely think about how to use tricks and avoid reality. Falsely attack the place where our defenses are weak. Then where is the weak point? Guanzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the land of Nanyang connects Henan and the land of Hongnong, and once Nanyang is captured, you can enter the Central Plains. Therefore, He will definitely march into Nanyang!"

"What about after that?" Zhao Feng asked at this moment. At this point, it can basically be concluded what Zhuge Liang's plan is.Sure enough, Zhuge Liang said: "Afterwards, I will divide the troops into two groups. One route will be led by King Fufeng, King Guanghan, and Duke Jincheng to leave Xiaoguan. The other is to send sailors down the river to cut off Cao Jun's return route, trap Cao Jun in Henan, wait for his army to run out of food and lose his morale, and then encircle and annihilate him!"

"Good strategy!" Zhao Feng's eyes lit up after hearing Zhuge Liang's words.If Cao Pi thought he was smart and wanted to make a plan, he would be played to death by Zhuge Liang.As for the Hengjiang iron chain above the Yellow River, Zhao Feng was not worried at all.With the wisdom of Zhuge Liang and others, will they still be unable to handle a few iron chains?
"In this battle, Cao Pi was completely wiped out with almost all the troops. Among them, Wei Wenchang led 12 Qingzhou troops, Li Zhengfang led 12 Yanzhou troops, Zhang Wenyuan led 40 Yuzhou troops, and King Xiangyang led 30 Jingzhou troops. Army, and Xu Yuanzhi's [-] Xuzhou army, a total of [-] troops. Among them, [-] stayed in the south of the Yellow River, ready to wipe out Cao Pi's invading army! The other [-] people entered Guanzhong and joined Guanzhong and Xiliang. , the coalition forces will go to attack the hinterland of Cao’s army in Hebei. In addition, the Xichuan troops will be divided into two groups, one will cooperate with the defense of Guanzhong, and the other will go to attack Hebei.” Zhuge Liang continued to arrange.

"Prime Minister Zhuge, what are the Yangzhou Army and the Jiaozhou Army doing this time?" Gao Lan waited for a long time. Others had a lot of tasks, but he was left here, and he couldn't help but asked anxiously.Since Huo Jun guarded Yizhou, the Jiaozhou Army has been under the control of Gao Lan and Ji Ling.Anyway, there are only 4 to [-] people in general, and now the Zhan people in Jiaozhou have been completely suppressed, so they can be managed easily.

"General Gao's Yangzhou Army and Jiaozhou Army have another important task!" Zhuge Liang continued: "The 4 Jiaozhou Army and the 4 Yangzhou Army are divided into two parts, of which [-] people will cooperate with the local counties during the Central Plains War. In addition, [-] people will be transferred to Xuzhou, and then after the start of the war, they will go northward from the land of Qingxu and raid the coastal areas of Youzhou and Jizhou!"

"Brilliant plan!" Gao Lan was immediately excited when he heard the words.Liu Bei had traveled this sea route when he bought a horse from Yuan Tan, and now he is familiar with it.If the surprise attack on Jizhou and Youzhou is successful, Cao Pi's hinterland will be messed up by then.After hearing Zhuge Liang's huge plan, from the fraudulent surrender to the deceit to the final drudgery, and watching the fire from the other side, they all felt that this plan was one after another, and it was really impossible for people to fight back.The name of Crouching Dragon is naturally well-deserved

"Everyone, if this battle is successful in one fell swoop, it will be just around the corner to pacify the world. As for Sima Yi in Hanzhong, he is nothing to be afraid of, and he can be easily eliminated by this march. Therefore, we still need to do our best to deal with Cao Pi in this battle! If you can win, then everyone is a meritorious minister of my great Han Zhongxing, and I will reward you myself. If anyone is hesitant at this time, then don't blame the strict laws of the country!" Liu Bei concluded in the end, already stern.Maybe it was Zhao Feng's delusion, but it felt that after Liu Bei became the emperor, his speech was indeed different from before.When I faced him, I really felt a rush of pressure.It seems that power can indeed change a person.

"Third brother, Cao Pi's guard in Bingzhou is Tian Yutian Guorang. This person is an old friend with you and me. If you can persuade him to surrender, you will get twice the result with half the effort!" Liu Bei finally warned, Zhang Fei hurriedly Promise not to mention it.

A few days later, people from all walks of life were mobilized according to the plan. People from Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou all gathered at the border between Yanzhou and Xuzhou, as if waiting for Cao Jun to go south.At the same time, Xichuan's tens of thousands of horses entered the three counties of Longxi from Xiabian, where they joined the Guanzhong Army and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. A total of 15 troops were prepared to bypass Guanzhong and enter Hebei when the war broke out.
