Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 736

In the last book, Zhong Hui proposed that Liu Wei attack Liu Zhang first. Liu Wei was puzzled and asked what he meant.

Zhong Hui said loudly: "Your Majesty, send troops to attack Liu Zhang. Our army has three advantages!"

Liu Wei asked, "Which three points?"

Zhong Hui stretched out three fingers and said, "First, among the rebels left in the world, Liu Bei is treacherous, Sun Ce is brave, and only Liu Zhang is weak!"

"Secondly, go south to attack Sun Ce and Liu Bei. They can rely on the danger of the Yangtze River to stop our army, but our army does not have too many navy troops. Only General Huang Lao is familiar with water warfare, while Jiangdong and Jingzhou soldiers They are all good at water warfare, which is not good for our army!"

"Third, Liu Zhang is the closest to our base camp, sending troops to attack Liu Zhang will save time!"

"Ok!"

Liu Wei nodded, and said: "What you said is reasonable, but the road in Sichuan is difficult and dangerous, and one man is in charge of the pass. In the past, Gao Zu started his family in the middle of Sichuan. The Qiechuan road is narrow, and it is inconvenient to transport grain. It is not as good as attacking Liu Zhang. It's time to attack Liu Bei!"

"My lord, what you said are all objective reasons. Marching and fighting mainly depends on the commander's adaptability, so I think it's better to attack Liu Zhang!"

Zhong Hui said again.

"Hmm! Allow me to think about it!"

Liu Wei stopped talking and bowed his head in thought.

Originally, Liu Wei wanted to appoint Pang Tong as the commander-in-chief and send troops to attack Liu Bei, but after hearing Zhong Hui's words, his heart was shaken again.

However, Liu Wei also had a lot of worries. At the beginning, Deng Ai and Zhong Huibing split up to attack Xichuan. If Deng Ai hadn't sneaked into Yinping, Liu Wei estimated that Jiang Wei would have persisted for at least ten years, but now there are no Zhuge Liang, With a talent like Jiang Wei, it is estimated that they will not last long.

"Retreat!"

Until the end, Liu Wei didn't decide who to attack, but let Xiao Huangmen call back, then turned and left.

"Your Majesty! Wait a minute!"

After Liu Wei left from the court hall, he walked towards the harem while thinking. He never thought that Zhong Hui would catch up from behind.

"What's the matter with you?"

Liu Wei turned around and saw that it was Zhong Hui, so he asked.

"Your Majesty, this is not a place to talk, please move to the study, I want to discuss it with Your Majesty!"

Zhong Hui bowed his body and asked.

Liu Wei was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "That's fine! Let me see if you can convince me to send troops to attack Liu Zhang!"

"Yes!"

Zhong Hui followed Liu Wei into Liu Wei's study. After Liu Wei sat down, he looked at Zhong Hui who was standing there, and said, "There are no outsiders here, Shi Ji. Sit down and talk, let's talk about it in detail!"

"Yes!"

Zhong Hui was not hypocritical, sitting on Liu Wei's lower head, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, I want to ask you, are you sure you can win Liu Bei from Jingzhou in one fell swoop?"

"Hehe, Shi Ji, let me tell you this, whether it is Liu Bei or Sun Ce, there is no natural disaster. I am [-]% sure to take them down. It is just a matter of time!"

Liu Wei replied confidently.

"But Your Majesty, have you ever thought that to attack Liu Bei, we have to deal with the Sun and Liu families. To attack Liu Zhang, we only need to overcome the difficulty of transporting food, and then we can drive straight in and take Xichuan!"

Liu Wei asked back: "Then have you ever thought that if I take down Liu Bei and Sun Ce, will Liu Zhang still dare to resist? He will surrender!"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. Xichuan is fertile and wild, and the people are rich. If there is a wise lord, even if he loses to His Majesty's heavenly soldiers, he can defend against danger, at least for ten years! Although Liu Zhang is weak now, I heard that Liu Zhang His son, Liu Xun, is a tough man, and when Liu Xun takes the throne, he will not surrender easily!"

"Liu Xun?"

Liu Wei muttered the name, and suddenly said, "You mean Liu Zhang's eldest son, Liu Xun?"

"That's right, it is this person. This person likes to read military books and is brave and good at fighting. If Liu Xun is in power, the threat to His Majesty will not be inferior to Liu Bei and Sun Ce!"

Zhong Hui also said worriedly.

"It makes sense. I also know something about this Liu Xun. He has the courage of his grandfather Liu Yan. He makes friends with heroes and has some civil servants and generals who are loyal to him. I also heard that Xichuan's generals Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Generals like Zhang Yi who hold real power, and resourceful people like Fazheng and Zhang Song all fall in love with him. If this person is allowed to command Xichuan's soldiers and horses, coupled with Xichuan's natural dangers, entering Sichuan is tantamount to ascending to heaven. !"

Liu Wei's back broke out in a cold sweat. He actually forgot about Liu Xun. This guy is not a good guy. In the official history, Liu Xun blocked Liu Bei outside Luocheng for several months. In the end, it was Liu Bei's plan. Only then was Liu Xun forced to leave.

"That's the case, then attack Xichuan first!"

Liu Wei hastily promised Zhong Hui to attack Xichuan first, and Zhong Hui then turned and left.

The next day, Zhong Hui brought another strong man to the palace.

"See Your Majesty!"

After Zhong Hui brought this person to salute Liu Wei, Liu Wei said with a smile: "Why, can't wait to be in command?"

"Your Majesty, you know you are young, so you specially invited a good helper!"

Zhong Hui pushed out the man behind him, and said, "Your Majesty, this is my good brother Wen Yang, who has the courage to be undeserved!"

"Wen Yang?"

Liu Wei looked Wen Yang up and down, only to see that this man was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a gentle appearance, he didn't look like a military general, he looked like a Confucian general.

"His Majesty!"

Just as Liu Wei was looking at Wen Yang, Huang Xu walked in from the outside, glanced at Zhong Hui and Wen Yang, passed them, came to Liu Wei, and said, "Your Majesty, General Zhang Xiu sent you from Liaozhou. Here comes a fine horse, it looks no worse than your gale, but its temper is stronger than your gale, I was almost bitten! Are you interested in going to see it?"

Zhong Hui immediately became unhappy, this Huang Xu was really defiant, he was discussing business matters with His Majesty, he wanted to call Liu Wei away without saying a word.Therefore, he said with some displeasure: "General Huang, I am discussing business matters with His Majesty, should you wait?"

Huang Xu looked at Zhong Hui angrily and said, "What business do you have? I didn't mention you in the court yesterday. You didn't even fight a battle and wanted to influence the Lord's thoughts. You just read A few days of war books will only be discussed on paper!"

Huang Xu is a rough man who only obeys capable people. Pang Tong's ability is obvious to all. He suggested that Liu Wei attack Liu Bei. Words are not convincing.

"Presumptuous! Can my people use you to tell me what to do!"

Liu Wei gave Huang Xu a white look, and then said to Zhong Hui: "Huang Xu has no malicious intentions, don't take offense, don't worry, you will definitely be the commander of this attack on Xichuan!"

"what?"

When Huang Xu heard that Liu Wei was going to appoint Zhong Hui as the coach, his eyes almost popped out, and he wanted to stop Liu Wei.
