Chapter six hundred and fifty-eight the clown jumping beam, let you laugh first and then cry
Everyone knows that once Yan Liang makes a decision, even if it is extremely dangerous, the future will never change.
All the ministers were silent, and even Tian Feng did not dare to say anything again.
No one opposes Yan Liang's plan anymore. After all, there is a precedent for the previous sneak attack on Xuzhou. Although the risk of attacking Liaodong this time is much greater than that of attacking Xuzhou, there is still hope for success.
However, no one of the ministers dared to stand and support them, only for fear that they would be affected after the strategy failed.
Yan Liang disagreed with it at all. Even if no one supports it, he still wants to do his own thing.
He knew very well that a true strong man must have extraordinary will. Sometimes, he had to dare to think about others and dare not think about others.
Those who seem to be humble in accepting advice and do not dare to take risks are not considered real heroes at all.
In history, Cao Cao's quelling of the Wuhuan War was not a whole lot of opposition. Only Guo Jia supported him, and Cao Cao withstood the pressure and insisted on his strategy with a strong will can he achieve a wonderful achievement.
Cao Cao had such courage, and if Yan Liang had not, how could he defeat Cao Cao even though he had not. Until now, he was afraid of Cao Cao.
Just when Yan Liang seemed a little "isolated and helpless", Pang Tong, who had been silent, suddenly stepped out of work and stood up.
He looked up at Yan Liang and bowed and said with a sigh: "The king's plan is unprecedented and has the courage to shock the sky. I admire the king's courage. I also agree with the king's plan. As the saying goes, how can I get a tiger's son if I don't enter the tiger's den? This plan must be done
Success!”
At the critical moment, Pang Tong stood up and supported Yan Liang's strategy.
Looking at Pang Tong, who was generous, Yan Liang nodded slightly, and couldn't help but look relieved.
Among the strategists, Pang Tong was indeed the most "smelling" with him. Only Pang Tong can truly be the soulmate of Yan Liang.
It is enough to have the support of Pang Tong, the chief adviser.
At that moment, Yan Liang made up a plan to send troops from the sea to capture Liaodong, and passed on the king's orders. He ordered the warships built along the coast of the Three Wus to rush to the west to gather.
In the dark, Yan Liang was preparing to capture Liaodong. But on the surface, he continued to deceive Jia Fan under the banner of attacking Youzhou, so that Gongsun Kang could relax his vigilance and boldly deploy the troops of Liaodong in Liaoshui.
The front line was to resist Liu Bei, causing emptiness in the rear.
With Jia Fan's wisdom, how could he see through Yan Liang's plan? He was fully convinced that Yan Liang could attack Youzhou and rescue his master Gongsun Kang.
So, Jia Fan, who was trapped, sent envoys to Liaodong several times to convey Yan Liang's kindness to Sun Gongkang. He also secretly reported Yan Liang's plan to Gongsun Kang.
When Yan Liang, who was in the south, gathered his troops secretly, the shadow of war was quietly spreading in Hebei, thousands of miles away.
Youzhou, north of Fanyang City.
In the early morning, the huge army drove out of Fanyang City in a mighty manner and advanced along the northbound avenue.
Under the king's flag, Liu Bei was solemn and rode his horse high.
The autumn harvest has ended, and the Hebei prefectures have achieved great harvests. Liu Bei, who has a bumper harvest of grain, assembled 50,000 infantry and cavalry and decided to personally expedition the east.
Liu Bei's goal was to wipe out Gongsun Kang, who was east of Youzhou in one fell swoop, and completely eliminate the threat from Youzhou's side.
While we were marching, Chen Da came over and said, "Report to the king, Zhuge Junjian came from Yecheng and reported urgently. My detailed work from the south sent information, saying that Gongsun Kang had sent an envoy to Yingtian and surrendered.
Yan Liang and Yan Liang are now gathering sea ships in Xuzhou, and there seems to be signs of attacking our Yan State from the sea."
Listening to this information, Liu Bei's figure shook slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Is this thief Yan Liang, isn't he going to do the same trick again?" Liu Bei murmured to himself.
Sima Yi, who was following her, said lightly: "Yan Liang, this thief, always likes to get into danger. I think this thief must have used troops at sea this time to attack our Liaoxi County, cut off the connection between our Liao army and Youzhou, and be able to get along with Gongsun Kang.
The east and west attacked us, and we encircled and annihilated our army in one fell swoop."
This time, Liu Bei fought eastward, leaving Zhuge Liang to guard Yecheng, and Sima Yi was appointed as the military advisor.
Listening to Sima Yi's analysis, Liu Bei nodded slightly, and a little disdain appeared between his eyebrows, but he snorted coldly: "What Zhongda said is very true. I will order the guards of Youzhou coastal areas to strengthen his troops and go to the ocean.
, but in the end he returned in vain."
"The king is wise." Sima Yi bowed and complimented.
Liu Bei raised his whip and continued to move forward. A hint of pride appeared on the corner of his mouth. He sneered sinisterly: "Yan Zhe, do you want to use the same trick again? Humph, I will tell you to lose all your money, haha."
Amidst the sarcasm, the vast army of Yan continued to advance northward.
Liu Bei led an army of 50,000 from Fanyang County to Youzhou, heading northeasternly, passing Yan, Yuyang, Youbeiping, and western Liaoning counties. At the end of the autumn, he arrived at Changli County, the easternmost part of Youzhou.
The land occupied by Gongsun Kang in Liaodong has four counties, including Liaodong, Xuantu, Lelang and Dyefang. Among them, the two counties, Lelang and Dyefang are located south of the Mazishui (now Yalu River). The area is not very large and economical.
Being backward does not have much strategic significance.
As for Xuantu County, because it is located in the northern border, it is the only place where Goguryeo invaded Liaodong to the south. Therefore, although there are garrisons in its place, there are very few Dingkou.
Among the four counties in Liaodong, the richest and most populous one is undoubtedly Liaodong County. Its capital is Xiangping City, which is the largest city in Liaodong.
At this time, Gongsun Kang regarded Xiangping as his military residence and had 30,000 cavalry stations, and the amount of food accumulated could be enough for several years.
However, Liaodong County and Changli County are only separated by Liaoshui. If Liu Bei's army attacks Liaodong, it must first pass the Liaoshui natural danger.
When Liu Bei's army arrived in Changli County, he immediately sent the information to Xiangping hundreds of miles away.
In Xiangping City, in the military mansion, Gongsun Kang had summoned all the generals to discuss strategies to fight the enemy.
"Liu Bei has personally led an army of 50,000 to Xiangping. It seems that it will invade Liaodong soon. What are you going to do to respond to the enemy?" Gongsun Kang asked in a serious tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, his general Bei Yan came out of his rank and bowed: "If Liu Bei wants to invade our Liaodong, he must first overcome the natural danger of Liaoshui. The last general is willing to lead an army to occupy Liaoshui Yaokou Liaotun City.
Let Liu Bei not be allowed to cross the Liao River in the east."
Gongsun Kang nodded and said, "What you said is the most, I will assign you 10,000 elite troops to guard Liao Tun City, and be sure to ensure that the city is not lost."
"The last general will live up to the lord's trust." Bei Yan received the order with mercy.
Seeing Bei Yan leading the army, Gongsun Kang's expression became slightly calmer.
At this time, another general Yang Zuo said: "Lord, it's late autumn. In those months, when the weather is cold, the Liao River will freeze. At that time, even if Liu Bei's army cannot take over Liao Tun City, the army will take the initiative.
Crossing the river on an ice surface and taking directly to Xiangping. At that time, the last general was only worried that with our current army, he might not be able to confront Liu Bei's elite infantry and cavalry."
Yang Zuo's words were supported by the other generals, and everyone seemed to be lacking in confidence in resisting Liu Bei's attack.
"Don't worry, I have found a sucker and sent troops to help me resolve the dangers in Liaodong."
Gongsun Kang looked proud, so he secretly surrendered to Yan Liang in name, asking Yan Liang to send troops to attack Youzhou from the sea, and told the generals.
Only then did the generals such as Yang Zuo suddenly realize why their lord was so confident.
"It turns out that the lord has already had this clever plan. If Yan Liangguo is willing to send troops, then Liu Bei will not be worried." Yang Po exclaimed.
Gongsun Kang sneered and said proudly: "It's not just not a concern. When Liu Bei heard that there was a mistake in the rear, the army would be in chaos. This marquis took advantage of the situation to fight back, and maybe he could capture and kill Liu Bei in one fell swoop. Once Liu Bei died, Hebei would be in chaos.
When the Marquis of Jieshi led his troops south, he could sweep Hebei and achieve a hegemony."
Gongsun Kang had a big appetite. At this moment, he was no longer satisfied with repelling Liu Bei and saving one acre of three-point land in Liaodong. He even had a grand blueprint for entering the Central Plains.
Yang Zuo and other generals were also infected by Gongsun Kang's confidence. They all praised Gongsun Kang's wisdom and magical martial arts.
Listening to the compliments and praises of the generals, Gongsun Kang became more proud and sneered: "Yan Liang, Yan Liang, it turns out that you are also a greedy man. If I surrender, I will tempt you to send troops to help me. I will lend you my hand.
, After getting rid of Liu Bei, I will thank you sooner or later, haha”
All the generals from Liaodong at the stairs laughed loudly.
...
Yingtian City.
A small boat crossed south and drove into the riverside pier.
Lu Meng, dressed in casual clothes, got off the boat and took a low-key carriage to Yingtian City and headed straight to the royal palace.
Not long after, Yan Liang, who was handling official duties in the study, received a report from Lu Meng for a request for his visit.
Yan Liang was happy, put down his pen, waved his hand and said, "Xuan Ziming is here to meet you quickly."
Soon after, Lu Meng, dressed in casual clothes, came in with a full of wind and dust, bowed and said, "My minister, Lu Meng, pay homage to my king."
"Zi Ming is not a gift, please calm down." Yan Liang asked someone to sit down and put tea. Before Lu Meng could sit down, he smiled and said, "Zi Ming, I thought you would have to arrive for a few days.
I think I'm coming back so quickly."
Lu Meng hurriedly said, "I received the secret order of the king and summoned me to the capital in a low-key manner. I thought the king must have had a secret request, so I rushed to Yingtian all night, for fear of delaying the king's important matters."
Lu Meng is worthy of being Lu Meng. With just one edict, you can know that Yan Liang has some secret matters.
Yan Liang showed some praise on his face and said with a smile: "Ziming, Liu Bei was expeditioning to Liaodong in the east, and Gongsun Kang sent someone to surrender and ask for help. I believe you have heard of it a long time ago."
"I have heard of this. Is the king summoning Meng into the capital this time? Could it be that he wanted to lead his army to attack north to restrain Liu Bei's troops and force him to retreat?" Lu Meng asked.
Only a few trusted advisers knew about the conquest of Liao. In order to prevent the leak of news, Yan Liang had never disclosed it, such as the governor of the foreign town like Lu Meng.
After hearing what Lu Meng heard, Yan Liang shook his head and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I really want you to lead the troops to attack the north, but I don't want you to attack Liu Bei, but I ordered you to lead the army across the sea to give me the
This king destroyed Gongsun Kang and captured the four counties of Liaodong."
As soon as this statement came out, Lu Meng's expression was shocked. (To be continued. Mobile phone users please read it.)
