After Zhuge Liang said this, Liu Bei thought about it for a moment and felt that it was quite feasible!

Fa Zheng and Huang Quan listened and nodded solemnly to agree.

This statement probably has several meanings.

First, military advisor Zhuge Liang did not object to the Northern Expedition strategy proposed by Fa Xiaozhi, but he opposed the hasty start of the war.

The second is to first distribute documents widely and spread them throughout the Han states, refuting Cao's ambitions and declaring his own sovereignty in order to occupy the high ground of public opinion.

The third thing is to naturally accumulate grain widely, hoard Hanzhong, and delay the dispatch of troops.

After everything is ready, we can launch a large-scale operation.

After Wei Wei listened, Fazheng couldn't help but smile and responded, "The military advisor's considerations are quite thoughtful, but Zheng seems a little impatient, haha."

"filial piety is too much, and Liang just added a little bit to it!"

Zhuge Liang's face relaxed and he responded softly.

"Okay. Just do what Kong Ming said."

Liu Bei was also a decisive person. He quickly made a decision and continued, "After I have announced it to all the ministers at the Guchao meeting, I will distribute the documents in a big way, arousing the people of the world to denounce Cao's traitor."

Follow closely.

Fazheng suddenly thought of something again, and continued to propose: "By the way, Your Majesty, in the opinion of the military advisor just now, we must concentrate on preparing for war, and when all the necessary measures are in place, we can launch the Northern Expedition to greatly increase our chances of winning!"

"But I just thought that this time Cao Cao's traitors despised the Han Dynasty so much. At this moment, they must not just denounce it through public opinion, but should also use military support to harass the border areas."

"On the one hand, it is to set an example to all the people in the world."

"On the other hand, it also buys time for the army to prepare for war."

The words fell slowly,

Fazheng was indeed a military wizard. In a short period of time, he once again thought of using war methods without affecting the general direction proposed by Zhuge Liang.

"Takanao, can you tell me in detail how to operate it?"

When Liu Bei heard this, his face was quite happy and he responded.

"Your Majesty, hasn't General Guan already advanced the battle line to Xiangfan City?"

"Xiangyang and Fancheng are important towns leading to the Central Plains. They connect Wan and Luo in the north, and Xudu is located in the northeast."

"I just thought that I could encourage General Guan to act according to the opportunity and surround these two cities with soldiers to put pressure on the Cao family."

After saying these words, his expression did not change at all. He pondered for a moment and then continued, "As for Jingzhou, General Guan's skills are enough to deal with it."

"Don't worry too much!"

"Hanzhong is the main advance route when our army plans to launch a large-scale Northern Expedition in the future, and Hanzhong County is also the rear area where we will gradually gather our troops and accumulate ordnance, grain, grass and other logistical supplies."

"On this side, we can't be silent anymore."

"I have to order General Wei, the governor of Hanzhong County, to make some noise and put the Guanlong area in chaos. This will undoubtedly give the Cao family a chance to breathe."

"Now that General Zilong's eldest son Tong has succeeded Governor Huo as the governor of the second county, he can be promoted to lead his troops north to Liangzhou to raid."

"As long as we increase the momentum, it will be easier for us to use our troops in the future."

One word after another settled down,

At this moment, Liu Bei's face seemed to be filled with anger unconsciously, and he had an expression of grinning from ear to ear.

This strategy of Fa Zheng is indeed exquisite!

This took the initiative to start a local war without violating Zhuge Liang's proposal not to rush to raise troops for the Northern Expedition.

On the one hand, it can delay time for one's own preparations for the Northern Expedition.

You can also go north to attack and harass the lower states and counties under the Cao family, making it difficult for them to live in peace and strengthen their momentum.

They can also use force and public opinion to denounce the Cao thieves.

Such a two-pronged approach not only achieves its own position, but also does not adjust the plan of rushing troops.

"Haha," Huang Quan, who was standing next to him, smiled unconsciously and said slowly, "This policy of filial piety is very similar to that of the previous Hanzhong War!"

As soon as these words are spoken,

The chief ministers in the palace all smiled slightly,

Isn’t this more than just different approaches but similar results?

This strategy is simply a replica of the Battle of Hanzhong!

In the Battle of Hanzhong two years ago, Cao Cao personally led the main force to march westward in an attempt to sweep away Zhang Lu, the rice thief who was separatist in Hanzhong at that time, and completely control the northern gate of Bashu.

At that time, because Yizhou had only been established for about a year,

It will still take a certain amount of time for our side to re-recruit troops and raise military supplies.

At that time, Fazheng offered his advice and sent generals such as Huo Jun and Zhang Fei to Hanzhong first to take over Zhang Lu's Hanzhong County, and then used partial divisions to engage in a stalemate with Cao's army.

To hold on until the moment when the main army reaches the front line.

Undoubtedly, after Zhuge Liang put forward the idea that "the Northern Expedition is a serious matter and we should not rush to raise troops," Fazheng wanted to repeat his old trick.

Even though I have used it before, this strategy is really useful!

As soon as Fazheng finished speaking, neither Zhuge Liang nor Huang Quan had the slightest objection.

Regarding Cao Cao's self-proclaimed king, the response measures after establishing the kingdom were gradually formed through discussions among several people in the side hall.

Then, the next morning, it was still a sunny day,

The morning sun rose slowly from the east the next day, illuminating the white fish belly.

Reflecting the drops of crystal clear dew appearing on the grasses and weeds in the fields.

Chengdu city,

Officials and ministers at all levels got up early one after another, put on formal official uniforms, and gathered together at the palace.

And on this morning,

Liu Bei, the King of Hanzhong, wearing a royal crown and a gorgeous red, black and red royal robe, slowly walked towards the king's banquet.

The ministers bowed their hands and bowed in great ceremony one after another.

Then they all sat down one after another.

Later, Liu Bei announced in public the various changes in the world's current situation, as well as his own plan to declare himself king without authorization against Cao Cao's traitor and his contempt for the Han Dynasty's countermeasures!

After the ministers have discussed it for an hour or two,

Yesterday, decisions made by Zhuge Liang and several others in private were passed.

After the court meeting,

The important task of distributing documents to various places and calling on people from all over the country to denounce the Cao family was placed in the hands of Zhuge Liang, the military advisor general and in charge of the affairs of the Prince of Hanzhong.

Zhuge Liang's work efficiency is extremely fast!

Under his control, government decrees were promulgated one after another.

First of all, the scholars and people in the prefectures and counties of Yizhou learned the news that Cao Cao was proclaimed king and wanted to usurp the Han Dynasty from the documents distributed and the notices posted in various streets.

Then it goes through the operations of the officials in each county.

The people of Yizhou bore the brunt of the attack and their emotions were fiercely ignited. They were all filled with righteous indignation and shouted aggressively to kill the Cao thieves.

In addition to the series of operational methods used by Zhuge Liang, this is probably because the Han Dynasty has been passed down for four hundred years, and its power has long been buried in the hearts of the people.

Then came Jingzhou...

This also laid the foundation for the subsequent recruitment of soldiers to supplement the troops for the Northern Expedition.
Chapter completed!
