Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

"Because, we want to help you resist Cao Cao!"

Ma Di stopped beating around the bush and stated his intention directly.

All the officials in Shu were shocked.

Obviously, no one from Liu Zhang to Zhang Ren expected that these envoys of the Han Dynasty would give such a explain

"Now Cao Cao has branched into the Qinling Mountains, and his main force has arrived at Yangping Pass."

"Everyone knows Cao Cao's intention to capture Hanzhong"

"General Zhang, you don’t know."

Ma Di sipped his wine and asked as if he knew what he was asking.

Zhang Ren was shocked and didn't know how to answer.

How could he not know?

The news of Cao Cao's army entering Sichuan has already spread in the rumors in Shuzhong.

There are even rumors that Zhang Lu The entire county of Hanzhong has surrendered to Cao Cao.

Hanzhong is the gateway to Yizhou.

With Cao Cao's ambition, after taking Hanzhong, how could he not take advantage of the situation and go south to engulf Yizhou in one fell swoop.

In this regard,

Liu Zhang, Zhang Ren and other ministers , we have discussed it many times, discussing how to deal with Cao Cao's future attack.

Some people advocate taking advantage of the situation to go north, cooperate with Cao Cao to attack Zhang Lu, and seize 09 to seize Hanzhong before

Cao Cao. Others advocate sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight and strengthen Jiameng Pass defense to prepare for Cao Cao's future attack.

But no matter which strategy, Liu Zhang believed that it was not a foolproof strategy.

He had no absolute trust in defending Jiameng Pass, and he was even less confident in snatching Hanzhong from Cao Cao.

Liu Zhang and his ministers were anxious about Cao Cao's move south. , in fact, it is far superior to the threat of Guan Yu, Jingzhou and the Han army.

"Of course we know that Cao Cao is approaching Yangping Pass with the intention of capturing Hanzhong"

"But so what, Hanzhong is thousands of miles away from Jingzhou. What does this have to do with your military deployment in Jingzhou?"

After Zhang Ren composed himself, he continued to question.

Ma Di smiled coldly and replied:

"General Zhang is also considered a famous general in Shu. He is familiar with the art of war and has excellent tactics."

"Haven't you heard of the truth that the lips are dying and the teeth are cold?"

Zhang Ren was stunned again and was asked again.

"Cao Wei and Cao Cao are the mortal enemy of our great Han Dynasty. Cao Cao said that he is the mortal enemy of our Emperor."

"After Cao Cao captures Hanzhong, he will definitely continue to move south and take the entire Yizhou into his pocket"

"After that, Cao Cao will definitely go down the Three Gorges along the east side of the Yangtze River and send troops to invade Jingzhou."

"In this case, our lord will have to deploy heavy troops in Jingzhou to stop the invasion of Cao's thieves, so that he will not be able to concentrate all his efforts to capture Guanzhong in the west."

"So whether you can stop Cao Cao and whether Yizhou’s surname is Liu or Cao is directly related to the safety of Jingzhou and the grand strategy of my emperor to destroy Wei."

"General Zhang, do you still think that this has nothing to do with us?"

Ma Su provoked Xuanhe to analyze, and refuted Zhang Ren until he was speechless and could no longer refute.

Liu Zhang's doubts were solved, and he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Liu Bei had no intention of taking his inheritance.

The preparation was completed.

Ma Su stood up and held his hand to Liu Zhang:

"Duke of Shu, actually I came to Yizhou this time in compliance with the emperor’s order to express my intention of aid to you, Duke of Shu."

"If you are willing, Duke of Shu, the Emperor can order General Guan to lead our Jingzhou Army into Shu, and go north to help you capture Hanzhong and resist the Cao thieves!"

As soon as he said this, Liu Zhang's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.

Liu Zhang knew very well how powerful the Han army was.

Otherwise, his 70,000 Shu army would not be on the front line of Yiling, and Guan Yu only had more than 10,000 soldiers. The men and horses were blocked for more than two months.

If we can really get the help of the Han army to capture Hanzhong and resist Cao Cao, it will be a piece of cake!

"Lord Shu, the Han army is known to the world for its elite troops, but Cao Cao’s Wei army has been defeated repeatedly."

"General Hejiang Guan Yunchang is the leader of the generals of the Han army. He has unparalleled martial arts and extraordinary general talents." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"If he can lead the Han army to help, it will be easy for the Duke of Shu to destroy Zhang Lu and regain Hanzhong, and then repel the Cao thieves."

Of course it was Zhang Song who was the first to speak out in agreement.

"Zhang Lu repeatedly invaded Shu, but our troops were defeated because our troops were not elite enough."

"If we can get help from the heavenly masters of the imperial court, we will be able to defeat Zhang Lu like a beast!"

"Lord Shu, I also think it is feasible."

A young counselor also stood up to join Zhang Song.

The person who gave the advice was none other than Fazheng.

Under the two men's turns of persuasion, Liu Zhang clenched his fists, and surprise and excitement gradually filled his eyes..

Thinking about him as the lord of Yizhou is quite frustrating.

He dominates Yizhou, but he has been suppressed and beaten by Zhang Lu who only occupies one county.

If he can destroy Zhang Lu, it will be equal to This eliminated a major threat.

Moreover, it was possible to completely occupy Yizhou and push the national border to the Qinling Mountains, thereby ensuring the complete safety of Chengdu. The more

Liu Zhang thought about it, the more delighted and excited he became, and he agreed after a few songs.

"Lord Shu, this is absolutely impossible!"

Zhang Ren was the first person to jump out and objected sternly.[]

Liu Zhang frowned and turned his gaze to Zhang Ren

"There is a natural danger in Jiange in Yizhou. One man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it!"

"With such natural dangers, even if Cao Cao takes Hanzhong, we are enough to stop Cao Cao, so there is no need to lure the wolf into the house..."

Halfway through the sentence"Ling the wolf into the house", Zhang Ren suddenly felt something was wrong, so he had to swallow it back and changed his words:"Why? Need foreign aid. Huang

Quan hurriedly echoed:

"General Zhang is right. We have the natural danger of Jiange. With our own strength, we can stop 500 Cao Cao."

"Lord Shu, we don’t need to bother the emperor to send the imperial army here."

Zhang Ren and Huang Quan rarely held the same position this time.

Liu Zhang couldn't help but hesitate again under their persuasion.

Zhang Song and Fazheng looked at each other secretly.

Zhang Song snorted with disdain. , sneered:

"Jiange is indeed a natural hazard, but unfortunately the combat effectiveness of our Shu army is too poor."

"Even Zhang Lu had broken through the Jiange Pass. Do General Zhang and Huang Chang really think that they could stop Cao Cao's elite Wei army by passing the Jiange Pass?"

This question once again stopped Zhang Ren and Huang Quan.

Especially Zhang Ren, a look of embarrassment and shame could not help but appear on his face.

There was no way, who let Zhang Song reveal his scars.

At the beginning, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang fought several times, and Zhang Ren once led his troops to station at the Jiange Pavilion to stop Zhang Lu.

However, Zhang Lu used a trick to miraculously break through the Jiange Pavilion, forcing Zhang Ren to flee south in embarrassment.

Fortunately, Zhang Lu did not have enough troops to seize the opportunity. After taking the food and grass supplies from Jiange, he burned the Jiange and left.

Otherwise, if Zhang Lu was strong enough, he might have already directed his troops at Jiange.

Yizhou has already changed hands!

"Zhang Yongnian, you——"

Faced with Zhang Song's exposure, Zhang Ren was furious for a moment, but he didn't know how to refute..
