What is the concept of hundreds of thousands of soldiers?

It is a powerful force that can break a river with a whip.

Everyone in the world knows that Cao Wei's national power is arrogant to the world. With their national power, they can definitely raise such a huge army.

Of course, ordinary people also know that among the hundreds of thousands of troops advocated by Cao Zhen, the proportion of regular soldiers is generally not too high.

But with an army of hundreds of thousands, even if the proportion of regular soldiers is not large, the number of regular soldiers in Cao Wei's southern expedition will not be small.

Due to this judgment, when the news of Cao Zhen's southern expedition spread throughout Chengdu, the people in Chengdu suddenly became shocked.

It's good to have Liu Bei in charge of Chengdu, but most of the people in Chengdu are just mortals.

Liu Bei's prestige is useful, but his prestige is not so great that people will ignore the shocking news that hundreds of thousands of Wei troops are about to attack the country.

Especially now, Yizhou is the emptiest it has ever been.

However, the most panicked person in Chengdu right now is not the officials and people, but the prince Liu Chan who is in charge of state affairs.

Liu Chan seemed more panicked than others, and the reason was very simple.

He seriously lacks experience in dealing with critical matters, and because Liu Bei protected him so well before, he doesn't even have some common sense.

After reading the content of "Fighting Shu", Liu Chan's first reaction was that he really thought that Cao Zhen had sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers south to attack Hanzhong.

Liu Chan's misjudgment of the enemy's military strength directly plunged him into panic.

In panic, Liu Chan subconsciously wanted to seek help from someone he trusted.

But now that Zhuge Liang and Mi Yang are not in Chengdu, who can Liu Chan look for?

The voice and appearance of a close relative instantly appeared in Liu Chan's mind.

The father-in-law and cousin are not here, but his father is still there.

After thinking of Liu Bei, a panicked Liu Chan gave an order to his attendant Huang Hao.

He asked Huang Hao to pull an ox cart, and then Liu Chan asked many small Huangmen to load the pile of bamboo slips onto the ox cart.

After doing this, Liu Chan hurriedly directed Huang Hao to drive the ox cart loaded with bamboo slips towards Liu Bei's dormitory.

The many bamboo slips on this oxcart were all written to Liu Chan by the ministers in the past few days after they learned about Cao Zhen's large-scale southern expedition.

Among the many bamboo slips, some ministers offered what they thought were strategies to deal with the enemy, but more ministers asked Liu Chan to convene a court meeting to discuss countermeasures together.

Logically speaking, Liu Bei has issued an edict to Liu Chan to supervise the country, so Liu Chan has the power to convene a court meeting.

It's a pity that Liu Chan has this power, but he doesn't have the courage.

Sitting high in the clouds and making decisions in the middle is something Liu Chan has never done before, let alone thought of.

Under Liu Chan's personal escort, the ox cart loaded with bamboo slips soon arrived outside Liu Bei's dormitory.

When Huben who was on duty outside Liu Bei's dormitory saw Liu Chan arriving in person, they did not stop Liu Chan.

There was even Huben who took the initiative to run into the hall to report Liu Bei.

Liu Chan, who was standing outside Liu Bei's dormitory, saw that someone had come in to report, and he felt that Liu Bei would summon him soon.

But what Liu Chan didn't expect was that as time passed slowly, no one came out of Liu Bei's dormitory to take him in.

Before he knew it, Liu Chan had been standing outside the hall for almost an hour.

It is March, and although the weather in Chengdu is not yet extremely hot, the temperature in Chengdu is slowly rising.

The low temperature coupled with the humid air in Chengdu soon caused dense beads of sweat to appear on Liu Chan's head.

A sultry feeling surrounded Liu Chan's heart, making him feel more and more impatient.

Just when Liu Chan thought about whether to send someone in person to report, a servant finally walked out of Liu Bei's bedroom and came to Liu Chan.

After the chamberlain bowed to Liu Chan, he took Liu Chan towards the palace.

Liu Chan was overjoyed when he saw this. He originally wanted the little Huangmen who followed him to pick some bamboo slips from the oxcart and enter the palace with him, but Liu Chan's actions were quickly noticed by Liu Bei's servants.

Liu Bei's chamberlain stopped Liu Chan's move with one sentence:

"Your Majesty only sees the prince, no one else or anything else."

Hearing that Liu Bei meant this, Liu Chan no longer insisted.

Anyway, he has read most of the contents on the bamboo slips on the ox cart. As long as he sees Liu Bei, he can relay the contents to Liu Bei.

So Liu Chan obediently followed Liu Bei's chamberlain and entered Liu Bei's bedroom.

The sun was shining brightly outside the hall, and the sun shone in through the windows of the hall, illuminating the entire hall.

With the help of good lighting, the moment Liu Chan stepped into the palace, he saw Liu Bei lying on the imperial couch.

Liu Chan looked over and felt that Liu Bei looked much better, which made him feel more at ease.

Liu Chan quickly walked to Liu Bei's bed, bowed deeply to Liu Bei and said:

"My son pays my respects to my father."

Liu Chan did not claim to be a minister in front of Liu Bei, which means that he is now simply paying respects to Liu Bei as his son.

Liu Chan was the son that Liu Bei only got after most of his life. Liu Bei naturally loved Liu Chan a lot in the past.

Under the meticulous love, although both Liu Bei and Liu Chan were members of the royal family, their relationship was very close, no different from ordinary father and son.

Due to Liu Bei's doting on Liu Chan, in the past Liu Chan came to greet Liu Bei as his son, and Liu Bei was usually very happy.

But today is different.

Liu Bei looked at his eldest son, whom he had high hopes for, and calmly replied, "Good morning," and then said nothing.

Liu Bei's silence suddenly made Liu Chan feel a little embarrassed.

In the past, when he saw Liu Bei, Liu Bei would take the initiative to talk to him and teach him some ways to be a king from time to time.

So Liu Chan originally planned to ask Liu Bei for help when Liu Bei taught him as usual.

This may somewhat conceal his true intention.

But now Liu Bei's behavior was different from usual, which made Liu Chan suddenly become embarrassed.

If you don’t say it, how is this possible?

Hundreds of thousands of enemy troops took advantage of the situation and Hanzhong was in danger. In this extremely dangerous situation, Liu Chan had already lost his mind and was in a panic.

It can even be said that if Mi Yang was not still in Hanzhong, Liu Chan would be inclined to give up Hanzhong temporarily.

Liu Chan's idea is very simple. The Wei army invaded Yizhou while it was empty.

Then it is better to avoid the Wei army's attack temporarily and let the Liangzhou army retreat into the sword pavilion and defend it.

As long as the Wei army is not allowed to enter Yizhou, the loss of Hanzhong will not be too important.

At worst, we can wait until Yizhou recovers its strength in the future, and then send troops to retake Hanzhong.

The Wei army led by Cao Cao himself was unable to defend Hanzhong, let alone Cao Zhen.

He knows his son better than his father. Although Liu Chan deliberately concealed his inner emotions, Liu Bei still saw the clues from Liu Chan's face.

"Are you scared?"

Suddenly, these words came out of Liu Bei's mouth.

It was this sentence that frightened Liu Chan to quickly raise his head, but after meeting Liu Bei's eyes, he subconsciously lowered his head.

Because Liu Bei revealed the true emotions in his heart that he had always wanted to hide.

What a panic and shock, he was actually afraid of the hundreds of thousands of Wei troops pressing on the border.

When a person feels scared, he will subconsciously think of the people closest to him and want their help to find a sense of security.

Seeing Liu Chan's face changed drastically after hearing his words, Liu Bei's calm eyes gradually disappeared.

Instead, there was a deep look of disappointment.

Although Liu Bei has not openly dealt with government affairs during this period of time, with his control over the entire court, even if he is deep in the palace, he is still well aware of changes in the outside world.

Liu Bei saw the "Fighting of Shu" letter earlier than Liu Chan.

Of course, after this letter "Fighting Shu" caused an uproar in Chengdu, Liu Bei had been silently watching the development of the situation.

Even Liu Bei was quite surprised that the Wei army would dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops to march south.

However, this battle was not enough to scare Liu Bei.

Hundreds of thousands of Wei troops marched south. Liu Bei had experienced this twice before.

But the recent shock to people's hearts in Chengdu has made Liu Bei faintly worried.

Today, this worry suddenly reached its extreme in Liu Bei's heart.

This is attributed to Liu Chan's performance today.

"The dignified prince of the Han Dynasty Supervisor, when faced with the pressure of a powerful enemy, was at a loss and showed no responsibility. He personally escorted the officials to submit a letter to my bedroom.

What kind of country are you in prison for?"
