Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "My Lord, I have observed his eldest son Liu Xun in Chengdu. Liu Xun was very young and eager to learn. Under the guidance of the prodigy Zhou Buyi, his talents became even more outstanding. Managing a party will not be a problem. Given time,
, even if you govern a country, it may not be impossible.
But his talent is not that of a man born in troubled times. With this person in charge of the Sichuan Army, our army will have no worries.
This time Liu Zhang attacked us. Although it was unfortunate, there was also great luck in the misfortune. As long as we defeated Liu Zhang, the vitality of the Sichuan army would be severely damaged, and Liu Zhang could only accept our strategy of forming an alliance with the Liu family and annihilating the princes with different surnames.
If Liu Zhang dies and Liu Xun is left, I dare to say that during Liu Xun's lifetime, the Sichuan army and our Liang army will always form an alliance. Our army can rest assured to march eastward, welcome the emperor, and return to the old capital. The Lord's great cause will be accomplished.

"Kong Ming really has a far-sighted vision. Even before the war begins, it has already been predicted that the next few decades will come. I have Kong Ming. I am like a fish in water. There is no need to worry about the Han Dynasty not flourishing."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "If you don't have long-term worries, you will always have immediate worries. However, no matter how far-sighted you are, you must first deal with the immediate situation. Liu Zhang's invasion of 300,000 troops must not be underestimated. We must fight against the enemy with all our strength. Look, my lord."
Zhuge Liang took out the map: "This is Chencang, here is Tianshui, and behind it is Weishui and Street Pavilion.
Qishan Mountain is a dangerous fortress. If Liu Zhang wants to comprehensively attack our Liang army, he cannot use Hanzhong as a bridgehead. He must find a foundation for the turnover of grain, grass and ordnance.
After leaving Hanzhong, the only place that can be used for turnover is here, Tianshui.
To get to Tianshui, you can send troops from the Xiqiang grassland. The Xiqiang's 100,000 cavalry, plus Han Sui's 30,000 cavalry, is huge. However, there are many wealthy families near Tianshui, and the wealthy families hate Liu Zhang to the core.
The Qiang soldiers are not good at attacking the city, and we have the support of the powerful families. Our army only needs to send 50,000 infantry to set up defenses in the Tianshui area, and the 130,000 cavalry will never be able to attack.
When Liu Zhang's army wants to reach Tianshui, there are two roads, one is the Beiyuan Road and the other is the Chencang Line. The Beiyuan Road is too narrow and is easy to be ambushed. Our army only needs to send 10,000 to 20,000 people to guard it, and it is safe.
Liu Zhang's army only had the Chencang line left. Chencang was originally a dangerous place. Unfortunately, when Liu Zhang's army withdrew to Hanzhong, Chencang City was completely demolished and the people moved into Hanzhong. It turned into ruins. Our army and Han Sui fought for a year.
It cannot be repaired, and what was once a dangerous barrier has become a smooth road.
But our army must stop Liu Zhang south of Chencang. Liang said that even if our army loses the victory, it will drag the Sichuan army to death. Please keep in mind, my lord, our strategy this time is to win steadily. With proper defense, we can find
Fighter planes, if you have fighter planes, you will defeat the Sichuan Army. If you don’t have fighter planes, you will defeat the Sichuan Army."
"The wise words of the military advisor. If someone comes, call the three generals."
"yes."
…………
Zhang Fei took Liu Bei's orders and led 30,000 fine cavalry as the vanguard, driving directly towards Chencang. Zhuge Liang watched Zhang Fei go away and called Zhao Yun to give some instructions. Zhao Yun led 20,000 cavalry and marched thirty miles away from Zhang Fei's army.
"Military advisor, Yide Zilong has set off, should we speed up the march?"
Zhuge Liang shook his fan and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, our army will win this battle. My lord just waits to drink the celebration wine."
"The military advisor is always right in his words. Well, listen to the military advisor."
Liu Bei wore a vicissitudes of life smile and ordered the soldiers to prepare wine. Zhuge Liang opened the curtain and looked to the south, seeing the desolation of the wilderness in his eyes.
"Liu Zhang, you said that we are enemies on the battlefield and in love. I, Zhuge Liang, will win two wars on the battlefield. If you don't return Yueying to me, I will have to fight for it myself."
…………
The army left Hanzhong, and the 300,000-strong army was divided into more than ten branches. They passed through the rolling mountains one after another and reached the land of Yongzhou.
As the army marched, Liu Zhang summoned the generals to discuss matters.
"Everyone, in the land of Yongliang, there are few cities and low walls. Unlike Jingyi, we cannot regard the city as the only goal. The most important thing is to occupy the favorable terrain, eliminate the enemy's effective strength, press step by step, and push the Liang army to a dead end.
, what do you think should be the first step after my army comes out of the mountain?"
Wang Yi looked at the map and said to Liu Zhang: "My subordinate Wang Yi is only serving as the captain in front of the tent. Can you express your opinion?"
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Captain Wang seems to be a bit inexperienced. Regardless of our position in the Sichuan Army, as long as we have opinions, we can express our opinions."
Wang Yi blushed slightly, nodded, pointed at the map and said: "In the land of Yongzhou, there are only a handful of places that can be called fortified cities, and Tianshui County governs Hebei County.
For our army's expedition, grain, grass and ordnance cannot always be transported from Hanzhong. There must be a storage place in Yongzhou, and Tianshui is the best place to store it.
Therefore, my subordinates believe that our army should take the Tianshui first."
"That's very well said." Liu Zhang smiled and said: "I, Jing Yi, are really full of women, and the waves in front push back the waves behind. Wang Yi, then tell me, how should our army get the water from the sky?"
"There are two roads to get to Tianshui, one is Beiyuan Road, and the other is Chencang. Beiyuan Road is so dangerous that one man can guard it and ten thousand people cannot pass it. If Liu Bei had deployed defenses, it would be extremely difficult for our army to pass through. But relatively speaking, Chencang is a vast area.
For a smooth road, my subordinates believe that we should take Chencang and go north, directly to Tianshui."
"If it falls into the sky, it will be Wang Yi's first achievement."
Liu Zhang laughed and said, at this moment, a soldier came to report urgently: "Reporting to my lord, General Zhang Fei of the Liang Army led 30,000 troops out of Chencang to fight with our vanguard Huang Zhong."
"It seems that Zhuge Liang has predicted that our army will go to Chencang Road, and the whole army will speed up the march to meet Zhang Fei."
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom."
War drums and trumpets were blaring, and Zhang Fei galloped on horseback to fight Huang Zhong, killing each other with swords and spears until the sky was dark. When Liu Zhang came with the elite soldiers of Dongzhou, he saw Zhang Fei riding a big black horse, galloping between the two armies, shouting:
The battle with Huang Zhong is in full swing.
"Zhang Fei is so brave." Zhang Ren sighed. The Sichuan army moved to the north and south, but they only saw Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, and thought that these two men were superb in martial arts and unparalleled in the world.
But when I saw Zhang Fei, his face was as black as coal, his leopard eyes were wide open, his mouth was roaring like a tiger, he was so majestic, his spear was fast and urgent, and his strength was steel. In terms of power, he looked far more powerful than Huang Zhong and Ma Chao.
If Huang Zhong is steady and Ma Chao is fierce, Zhang Fei is the one who can overwhelm Mount Tai. If he challenges him, it will be like facing a violent storm and Huang Zhong will be defeated before his eyes.
"No matter how brave he is, he is just a headless warrior." Wei Yan looked at Zhang Fei galloping back and forth, brave and invincible, with a look of disdain.
"Wow, that's great. I am Zhang Yide from Yan, who are you?" Zhang Fei reined in his horse and looked at Huang Zhong with awe.
"Nanyang Huang Zhong."
"So you are the number one general of the Sichuan Army. You are indeed amazing. Look at me poking you into ten thousand transparent holes. Wow."
Zhang Fei waved his Zhangba snake spear, raised his horse's reins and charged at Huang Zhong again. Huang Zhong raised his sword to meet him, stabbing me and slashing him, which dazzled the soldiers of both armies.
"My lord is not good." Zhang Ren suddenly shouted: "The old general has fought with Zhang Fei for more than 400 times. It seems that they are evenly matched, but the old general's physical strength is declining, and Zhang Fei seems to be getting braver as he fights. If this continues,
The old general will definitely be difficult to defeat."
"I'm going to help out." He was so powerful that he stepped forward with a sledgehammer.
Liu Zhang said: "Old General is not a reckless person. If he sees something bad, he will ask for money immediately, and Old General will definitely retreat. If you go up at this time, Old General may not be happy. Besides, what can you do to help Old General with your two actions?"
The generals nodded. All generals have dignity, especially a veteran like Huang Zhong. If he helps, Huang Zhong will definitely realize that Liu Zhang sent help because he was defeated. He will feel uncomfortable, and for a general like Huang Zhong
, It is a shame to fight with others and still need an assistant.
"Yes, a good general should protect the lord personally." Zhang Ren said.
I'm so awesome. I'm so angry. I just want to hit two big hammers. I've been learning the hammering technique for two years. From practicing hard after putting down the rebellion to Huang Yueying's personal guidance after the Nanman War, I've made rapid progress. I'm so awesome. I just want to find a target.
Give it a try.
So awesome. Looking at Heitan Zhang Fei, he felt that Da Heizi, who was extremely powerful in the eyes of his lord, was astonished in the eyes of Zhang Ren and other generals, and who was tied with Huang Zhong, was his best training target.
Just when everyone thought that Huang Zhong would be defeated if this continued, swords and spears collided, sparks were created, and the two horses passed each other. Huang Zhong suddenly raised his bow and arrow, and fired an arrow back.
Zhang Fei was horrified when he heard the sound of the bowstring. He hurriedly reined in his horse, lowered his head, and thrust out his spear with his backhand.
With a "clang" sound, the sharp arrow hit Zhang Fei's helmet, and the sharp arrow penetrated the helmet. The spear was thrust, Huang Zhong dodged, but due to the huge physical exertion, there was some hesitation, and the spear pierced Huang Zhong's sleeve.
Show off your big shoulders.
"Ah, you old general, you are fighting well, and you are secretly firing hidden arrows."
Zhang Fei reined in his horse and passed by. He stared at the helmet with arrows and looked at Huang Zhong. He pulled off the helmet and threw it to the ground.
"Why do you want this thing? Hey, Huang Zhong, I had a great time today. Come back tomorrow. I know you are good at piercing the poplar with a hundred steps. Learn your skills today. You will never think of shooting me again tomorrow. I will fight San Baili with you tomorrow. Come on."
Zhang Fei rode back to the formation, Huang Zhong dismounted and paid homage to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang hurriedly greeted him: "Has the old general been injured?"
"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. I will be ashamed in the end. Fortunately, my lord once warned me that this flying weapon will make me braver. The eagle-feather bow is ready to go. Otherwise, I will definitely be defeated. I am ashamed and ashamed."
Zhang Rendao: "My lord, Liu Bei's three generals, Guan, Zhang and Zhao, are among the best in the world. As Zhang Fei is so powerful, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun must also be great. If Ma Chao is added to the mix, it will probably be difficult to deal with him."
Wei Yan said disdainfully: "My martial arts are great, but my courage is no more than that of an ordinary man. I regard Guanzhang and Zhao's horses as rubble. Lord, I have a plan to defeat Zhang Fei and let the army march straight in to take down Tianshui."
"Oh, tell me quickly."
Wei Yan cupped his hands and said: "After Chencang was demolished, the dangerous pass became a smooth road. Zhang Fei guarded it with his troops until Zhuge Liang led his army to arrive. Our army must defeat Zhang Fei before Zhuge Liang arrives.
Tomorrow, General Huang and Zhang Fei will fight. My lord will send an army to bypass the mountains and forests and attack Zhang Fei's rear. If they attack from both sides, Zhang Fei will defeat him."
Liu Zhang pondered: "The solution is good. The mountain road is dangerous and difficult to cross. Who can make a sneak attack?" (To be continued)
