Chapter 541 Liu Bei is in a hurry

"I am willing to personally go to the Chu State as an envoy to explain the interests to the King of Chu and obtain these two sharp weapons for the King."

p,

Fazheng then said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Yan is right. If Liu Cong can give these two things to Cao Cao, he can naturally give them to us, but we should have to pay some price."

Liu Bei's breathing became a little faster, "Then Mr. Lao Yan will go to Chu State and tell Liu Cong that Gu Ruo will surrender directly to Cao Cao if he can't stand it anymore!"

Surrender directly to Cao Cao. Even if you tell a dog, the dog won't believe it. Liu Bei has struggled for most of his life to get this inheritance. How can he easily give up the country he already controls to Cao Cao?

However, these words also showed how anxious Liu Bei was at this moment. Yan Pu raised his hands and asked again, "Your Majesty, please tell me what your bottom line is?"

Liu Bei sighed, closed his eyes and took another deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were filled with the determination of a strong man who cut off his wrist, "I can cede all the cities and territories in Shangyong to Chu State. In addition, Liu Cong estimates that

You won’t be able to look at a place like this. A population of 200,000 is the bottom line for loneliness!”

Shangyong is already within the military radiation range of Chu State. Pang Tong's last attack on Shangyong is an example. It doesn't matter if you want Shu or not. But with a population of 200,000, it is really a big investment. The total number of Shu is only 260.

There are more than 100,000 people, 200,000 people, which is 1/10 of the population of Shu!

"Brother, 2"

"Brother, there's no need to say more. It's time for a strong man to cut off his wrist." Liu Bei interrupted Guan Yu who wanted to speak, and continued to Yan Pu, "I'll leave everything to you, sir."

Yan Pu nodded and raised his hand to Liu Bei again, "Your Majesty, I will pack my bags and set off immediately."

"Take care, sir."

A few days ago, when Liu Bei sent out troops, he sent an envoy to the Chu State. Not long ago, he sent an envoy to the Chu State again. The situation in the Shu State has become extremely serious.

After Yan Pu left, Liu Bei sat on the main seat and said to Fazheng, "Xiao Zhi, in the battle of Yangping Pass, our army suffered heavy losses. The comparison of military strength is no longer as good as that of the Wei army. The Wei army also used sharp weapons such as crossbows and catapults."

,How should we respond to the enemy now?”

Including Hanzhong's 50,000 troops, Liu Bei's troops to respond to Cao Cao's march south totaled 170,000, and he lost 34,000 at Yangping Pass. Now, there are only more than 130,000 left, and the Wei army still has 200,000 to fight.

With soldiers and two powerful weapons, Liu Bei really didn't have the confidence to deal with it.

Guan Yu said, "The most important thing is not the loss of soldiers, but when the news of the defeat at Yangping Pass reaches the rear, it will definitely cause people's hearts to fluctuate. Even the soldiers on the front line may not fight to the death with the enemy. If they are afraid of the enemy,

, then it would be even more difficult to handle.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei and Guan Yu both looked at Fazheng. Fazheng thought for a while and said, "I have three suggestions for the king."

"Speak quickly, Xiaozhi!"

Fazheng cupped his hands and said, "First, let Kong Ming recruit troops from the rear. At this critical moment of life and death, reputation and people's livelihood can no longer be taken into account. In addition, let's mobilize another part of the garrison troops from various places and the remaining troops in Chengdu to support the front line. At this time,

, I can only pray that Chu State will not send troops to attack us."

Liu Bei nodded, "I will immediately give the order for Kong Ming to recruit 50,000 troops. What about the second suggestion?"

Fazheng continued, "Our army still has more than 20,000 cavalry. Except for the basin, Hanzhong has rugged terrain and complicated roads. The king can choose a general and let him lead the troops outside to harass the Wei army's grain roads with cavalry. Of course,

, it is even more impossible for Cao Cao to lack cavalry. Therefore, the king needs to choose a general who is both wise and brave, who can harass the Wei army without causing excessive losses. At this moment, our army can no longer bear any losses."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "This matter will be selected later. Xiaozhi will make the third suggestion first."

!

"Your Majesty, my third suggestion is to divide the troops. The entire army cannot be stationed in Nanzheng City. Otherwise, if the war goes against us, we will have no way to retreat. The Wei army has deadly weapons like catapults. It is worse to defend the city than in the wild.

To engage in battle, the king can send some people to garrison some troops at Dingjun Mountain."

"The terrain of Dingjun Mountain is high. If the Wei army wants to attack the camp on the mountain, they need to attack from above. Furthermore, the terrain of Dingjun Mountain is not suitable for the Wei army to use catapults. By garrisoning on the mountain, they can guard the horns with the defenders in the city, and they can also use them at any time

Threaten the Wei army from a high position!"

Guan Yu said, "Sir, don't worry, I have sent my third brother to lead 20,000 troops to Dingjun Mountain."

Fazheng looked at Guan Yu with some approval. Heroes always see something the same. Guan Yu is worthy of being a general that Liu Bei relies on. "General Yun Chang has a far-sighted vision, which I admire, but 20,000 troops and horses are not enough. Your Majesty,

Give General Yide another 20,000 troops to make up for 40,000, so that we can pose a threat to the Wei army and make them afraid to attack the city with confidence."

Guan Yu frowned and said, "Sir, although this is a clever plan, the Wei army has the advantage of repeating crossbows. If a war really starts, tens of thousands of people will probably suffer heavy losses before they can reach the Wei army's formation."

Fazheng smiled in admiration and said, "Yun Chang is a really talented general, and he is very considerate."

Liu Bei said, "Does Xiaozhi have a solution?"

Fazheng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the art of war says that soldiers cannot enter dangerous areas. At this time, the enemy is strong and we are weak. We should avoid his sharp edge and recharge our batteries to wait for the changes. Although the Wei army has the advantage of repeating crossbows, we are not unreasonable.

To engage in battle."

"You can order General Yide to divide the 40,000 troops into two units, practice on the mountain every night, and occasionally send troops down the mountain once, but don't get into a stalemate with the Wei army, just try it briefly, and then make important decisions when the Wei army attacks the city.

The appearance of gathering down the mountain is unreal, true and false, and the Wei army cannot even take a good rest."

"Crack!"

Say, welcome to download -

Liu Bei clapped his hands happily and laughed, "Okay! Great idea, Xiaozhi is really a talented person in Shu."

Fazheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty has given you a reward. Compared with Kong Ming, I am still far behind. We cannot take it lightly. We need to strengthen the city defense as soon as possible."

Guan Yu spoke up again, "I've asked Zhou Cang and Guan Ping to handle all of this."

"good!"

Fazheng had already received a secret letter from Liu Cong, and he could not let Liu Bei be destroyed by Cao Cao at this moment. Liu Cong asked Fazheng to help Liu Bei resist Cao Cao. Fazheng also understood this truth, so he almost spared no effort in providing advice.

The reason why Liu Bei took him with him and left Zhuge Liang behind when he went north was because he was an old official in Shu and not a direct descendant of Liu Bei. Liu Bei didn't want to fight on the front and sudden changes occurred in the rear. Zhuge Liang had followed him since Jingzhou. In Liu Bei's heart

, Zhuge Liang is the most trusted adviser besides the two brothers.

Cao Cao moved south so quickly that he barely gave Liu Bei time to react. He captured Yangping Pass so quickly. The situation was already very unfavorable to Liu Bei. Liu Cong didn't want to add insult to injury at this time. It was just right to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Chu

The country still needs time to prepare. Therefore, the concerns of Liu Bei and the civil and military officials are just objective analysis in the court of Shu.

In this battle, Shu will suffer heavy losses, and Wei will not take a piece of Shu's flesh so easily. It seems to be a war between Wei and Shu, but Chu is far away, but it can actually affect

war situation.
