Chapter 373 Shameless talk

The person Lu Bu hated most in the dream was not Cao Cao who hanged him, nor Liu Bei who instigated Cao Cao to hang him, nor Wei Xu, Song Xian and Hou Cheng who surrendered at Xia Pi Kaicheng, but Chen Gui and Chen.

Deng father and son.

On the surface, these two officers provided advice and suggestions for him, and they looked loyal, but in fact they had colluded with Cao Cao. I regretted that I didn't listen to Chen Gong's words at that time, and actually regarded these two treacherous villains as my confidants, and they played tricks on me.

Only then did he lose so quickly in the end!

Lu Bu wanted to squeeze Chen Deng to death immediately. Zhang Mo felt his emotional changes and held his hand a few times to comfort him.

The familiar touch and temperature slowly calmed down Lu Bu's anger. He then thought about it, his life had been completely changed, and history had also been changed because of Amo's relationship. Everything in the dream was just a dream, and in fact it never happened.

, why be angry with a dream?

Although he was no longer angry, he had no good impressions of Chen Deng and Lu Bu at all. Chen Deng felt the hostility from Lu Bu, but he looked confused. He just mentioned what Liu Bei could currently exchange, and if he didn't agree, he would disagree.

, why such a reaction?

Finally he came to the conclusion that this person was too narrow-minded!

After appeasing Lu Bu's urge to kill, Zhang Mo explained to Liu Bei, "Senior brother, it's not Fengxian who refuses to send troops to help you. The truth is that the terrain in Hanzhong is dangerous, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we take it down, we will lose many soldiers. I

This hexagon

You also know the situation. Gongsun Zan is eyeing Jizhou and may send troops to Jizhou at any time. Cao Cao in the south also regards Bingzhou as his mortal enemy. It is really difficult to lend you too many troops and horses. If you borrow less, you will not be able to defeat them. It is just a waste of lives!"

Hearing that Zhang Mo was thinking about this, Liu Bei finally felt a little better. He was a little embarrassed and said, "Junior sister is right, I'll think of a solution!"

Zhang Fei was a little unconvinced and said, "Ah Mo, how do you know that you will not be able to defeat the enemy if you have fewer people? In ancient times, there were many battles in which a small number of people defeated a large number. Take the current situation as an example, if you fight Zhang Yan, Qu Yi, or Ma Teng

, when is it not that less defeats more? Then you lend your brother a few thousand men, and he will bring down the country of Lao Shizi and show it to you."

Zhang Mo looked at Zhang Fei helplessly. She had been on the defensive side in these three battles. Coupled with the advanced defensive equipment and the enemy's contemptuous attitude towards women, she was able to take the enemy by surprise and win with less.

The situation in Hanzhong is completely different.

She didn't want to waste any more time arguing with this reckless man and said, "Let me show you the map of Hanzhong. You will know that this place is not as simple as you think."

Soon an attendant brought Yongzhou, and a map of the Shu region was hung on the wall. Zhang Mo walked to the map and explained, "If you want to march into Hanzhong, you can only go through the Qinling Mountains from Guanzhong unless you pass through Jingzhou and Yizhou.

There are three roads to take here, one starts from Chencang, passes Sanguan and then crosses Huangniuling, then goes south along the valley of Gudaoshui, passes through Juxian (Lueyang) and along Shanyang Valley towards Yangpingguan."

"This Chencang Road is relatively easy to walk, but you may encounter two groups of resistance, one is the Di people guarding Hechi City, and the other is Ju County. Even if you can successfully occupy these two areas

, there is still the last Yangping Pass guarding the Hanzhong Basin to fight."

After hearing this, several people looked at each other. This was the best way to go as she said. It had to climb mountains and cross rivers, and had to fight two cities and a checkpoint. It was indeed a bit difficult.

Zhang Fei asked, "What about the other two?"

"The second Baoxie Road starts from Yi County, walks along Xieshui, Baohe River Valley, crosses Laoye Ridge, and can directly reach the Hanzhong Basin. This road seems to have no cities or passes, but the road is extremely difficult to walk. I

I have never walked through it myself, but I know from thinking about it that most of the mountains we pass along the way are difficult to navigate for people, but difficult for food and grass."

"The third is the Ziwu Road. The entrance is in the south of Chang'an. There are also several mountains in the middle, and most of them are plank roads."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Liu Bei and the others, "I understand the terrain clearly, but I know nothing about Zhang Lu's character and his military strength. Let's not count the enemy's military strength. Judging from the terrain alone, you think it is necessary to

How many troops are needed to attack such a place?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they couldn't tell. Judging from the terrain she just mentioned, it's not a question of how many troops there are. You have to cross mountains and rivers, and food and grass are the biggest problem. And the people who escort the food and grass are

The number of civilians is also larger than that on the normal road. However, more food is consumed along the way.

Liu Bei was a little ashamed and bowed his hands, "Senior brother, I didn't think well enough. I didn't even understand the terrain here clearly. I only knew the Ziwu Road and wanted to take Hanzhong. I'm ashamed! I'm ashamed!"

Zhang Fei had nothing to say now. Chen Deng just sighed, while Guan Yu, who had been silent all this time, raised his eyes and gave her a very surprised look.

Mi Zhu asked meaningfully, "How does the princess know the terrain of Hanzhong so clearly?"

Zhang Mo understood the underlying meaning of his words and said with a smile, "Not only am I familiar with Hanzhong, there is no place in the whole world that I am not familiar with, from Youzhou in the north to Jiaozhou in the south, and even in the countries in the Western Regions and the islands in the east."

This answer can be said to be very arrogant. It should be noted that in this era, transportation was inconvenient and the level of map drawing was low. It was rare for a place to have a local geographical map of mountains and rivers. People who had read only knew some states and counties, or relatively famous cities.

How could Zhang Mo know the approximate location in such detail?

When marching and fighting, good generals will send scouts in advance to find out the detailed terrain of the road ahead and the nearby terrain. The ones in Hutu only have a rough idea and then dare to send troops.

Liu Bei's group of people belong to the Hutu category. They don't know the geography of Hanzhong at all. The few place names they know are from books. In fact, they don't even know the specific location, so they dare to vow to attack Hanzhong.

Zhang Mo was an archeology student in his previous life and had a certain understanding of ancient maps. Coupled with his interest in ancient battles, he naturally also had a very clear understanding of the terrain.

She drew the topographic map of the Eurasian continent many years ago, in which the main mountains, rivers, plains, plateaus and basins were drawn, and even the locations of many ancient countries were marked.

After she drew the overall terrain framework, she asked the Flying Eagle team to inspect and add detailed maps of many places in the country, which resulted in such a detailed map today.

However, Liu Bei and others did not know her abilities. Mi Zhu's words just now were obviously allusions to Bingzhou's own plan to conquer Hanzhong, so they went to carefully examine the terrain here. Zhang Mo directly told him that he knew the whole world very well.

This answer left Mi Zhu speechless. He wanted to say stop bragging, but he still didn't dare.

Liu Bei fully recognized the facts and said, "Since Hanzhong cannot be defeated, I won't bother you here. I will leave tomorrow. Bei has no place to stay. The people who came with Xuzhou can only ask his junior sister. If Liu Jingsheng sends food, he will use it."

For relocating the people, I am deeply grateful."

"Where are you going, senior brother?"

Liu Bei was a little frustrated at this time. He shook his head and said, "I don't know either!"

"Since you have nowhere to go, just stay here for a while!" Zhang Mo persuaded. She could feel his depression at the moment, and she could also understand his ideals and ambitions of reviving the Han Dynasty, and she even sympathized with his current situation.

, but their political stances are different. If you are soft-hearted and help him today, you may cause big trouble for yourself in the future.

Liu Bei wanted to refuse, but Zhang Fei was the first to say, "Brother, we don't have anywhere to go anyway, and Amo has taken care of the people, so just stay a few more days!"
