Taking advantage of Liu Bei's time to summon generals and advisers, Li Su quickly sorted out his thoughts.

How to drag past the days when the prospects are still dark and uncertain, waiting for the "slow truth". At the same time, prepare for the tiny possibility of "if Dong Zhuo really succeeds."

"If the general trend of the Dong Zhuo-Wang Yun incident has not changed, then Dong Zhuo should have been killed yesterday or the day before yesterday. The people of Chang'an have a carnival for three days, and will conduct follow-up responses tomorrow at the latest. At that time, they will first send an edict to all parties, and according to the court's speed up, the news of Dong Zhuo's death can be transmitted to Ji County the day after tomorrow, and to Chen Cang the day after tomorrow.

If someone walks the Baoxiao Road and goes straight from Meixian County to report to us, then we can also know that Dong Zhuo is dead in four days. But because the Baoxiao Road is difficult to walk, Liu Bei did not install regular and detailed works in Meixian County, so this possibility is not high. So I have to calculate based on the "three more days when the messenger arrives in Chencang", which is to say that it will be as fast as six days before we know whether Dong Zhuo is dead.

To prevent bad things from being indignant and impulse, we must arrange them according to the time difference of the information transmission of six days as the rhythm..."

Li Su shook the folding fan alone and roughly calculated the time first.

Six days, very accurate quantitative analysis.

After calculating the time, Li Su quickly began to think of the second key question: how to deal with it.

"No matter whether Dong Zhuo dies or not, it is not a good time to solve the problem by force, so we can only show our attitude with a fake shot and show that we tried to attack. As for the results of the battle, it is not important. Moreover, this feint statement must be made, we must avoid the route of the real Northern Expedition in the future.

For more than a year, I have been asking Fa to preside over the remediation of Chencang Road and also to host refugees in Sanguan County. This is the route to the future Northern Expedition. This means that this feint attack must not be able to go to Chencang Road, and the rest are Baoxi Road and Ziwu Valley..."

In history, Zhuge Liang had four choices for the Northern Expedition, and the westward part was the Qishan Road, but Li Su did not have this option because he took the Qishan Road to Tianshui, which was still in Han Sui's hands. It was not Dong Zhuo's territory. Only the first three roads lead to Dong Zhuo's direct jurisdiction.

Because Dong Zhuo's base is Chang'an, which has the strongest military force, the Ziwu Valley route seems to be more and more suicide. After calculating this, Li Su didn't care much and found that the only option of Baoxiedao was left.

"I can only persuade Liu Bei to walk on the Baoxi Road, but fortunately, it is also famous for his real journey. First of all, Baoxi Road is the bait spare tire when Han Xin "openly repairs the plank road and secretly travels to Chencang" in history. Since we will also secretly travel to Chencang in the future, we will of course take the plank road openly now. And the exit of the Baoxi Road is the 未发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发发�

The Meiwu was originally built by Dong Zhuo to spend his old age. The defense facilities were very strong, but there were not necessarily many troops. Moreover, Dong Zhuo was deceived by Wang Yun to Chang'an. His main troops, such as Feixiong Army, must have left Meiwu and followed him to Chang'an. This was the weakest time point in the defense of Meiwu.

In this case, our army was able to attack the Jinwu in an attempt to capture Chang'an, which was enough to show the righteousness. Another thing was that once we walked halfway along the Baoxi Road, we heard that Dong Zhuo was really dead and things were reversed. Fortunately, we could withdraw our troops at any time.

If we really go too fast and Dong Zhuo dies but we don’t have time to get the news, it’s not a loss. If we can enter the Mudwood before Lu Bu, or if Lu Bu is just in a hurry to get Diao Chan away and does not have enough troops and attention to plunder all the money stored in Mudwood, we can also make a vote, which is what Dong Thief is preparing to take the plunder for the rest of his life…”

After completing these political accounts in his heart, Li Su had completely determined that when Liu Bei had to send troops, he persuaded Liu Bei to send troops like this.

Of course, Li Su didn't calculate the military account at all, because he originally planned to "take a look on his face and run away if he couldn't beat it."

But in order to be more responsible, military meetings still have to be held, and military accounts still have to be held for a while before they can be calculated at the meeting.

...

While Liu Bei asked Lu Su to convene an emergency meeting, he himself did not forget to do something that was a great man.

After working with Li Su for many years, Liu Bei's problems of not caring about false etiquette and great righteousness have also been changed a lot, and he has begun to pay attention to the court's tradition.

So he immediately returned to his Nanzheng Hou Mansion and a side courtyard in the back house.

Seeing Liu Bei come back, his two concubines who were originally gossiping, Mi Zhen and Zhen Jiang stood up to greet each other: "You are rarely back early today."

Liu Bei had a gloomy face: "Where is Miao'er? Some bad news is to tell her."

Mi Zhen hurriedly led Liu Bei to the side courtyard and found Princess Wannian.

The Wannian Princess Liu Miao was taken to Nanzheng more than a year ago, so she is now thirteen years old and has become much more sensible. Seeing her uncle who protected her come in, Liu Miao quickly got up and met with courtesy: "I have met the emperor's uncle."

Liu Bei sat on the stone table in the garden and sighed and said with regret: "Today, the Sanguan Dharma is rewarding. Your Majesty is seriously ill and feels that he is not the destiny of heaven. He wants to abdicate the great Han Dynasty to Dong Zhe! Dong Zhe set out from Meiwu four or five days ago to Chang'an, and maybe he has ascended the throne now."

Liu Miao was shocked and almost fainted: "What? How could Brother Xie be like this? He is a child, how can he know how to abandon his ancestors' foundation! Moreover, Dong Zhe is so cruel that even if he surrenders, he will not save his life at all!"

Liu Miao's views were similar to those of some loyal subjects of the Han Dynasty when Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty in history. He felt that if Dong Zhuo succeeded, he would be patient for a while at most, but sooner or later he would kill the unstable factor of the deposed emperor.

Liu Bei was also reminded by his niece and gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know this, I have to wait for the news. However, I have decided to raise troops to save the country. Since Your Majesty does not know his life and death, he only puts the Han Dynasty first and does not care about whether the clan relatives can lead troops into the capital."

Liu Miao quickly expressed his heartfelt statement: "We are a brother, sister and brother, are already poor. In times of crisis, the late emperor brother wanted to be an ordinary rich man and was poisoned by traitors. What's more, the emperor brother personally told the world that he was a monarch who was unparalleled and that the emperor's uncle was willing to send troops. It was the heaven who used the emperor's uncle to save the Han Dynasty for four hundred years."

Liu Bei nodded slightly and said some concerns between relatives to his niece, and then went to the front hall of the Marquis's mansion to attend the military meeting.

As a princess, Liu Miao couldn't help anything, but the reason why Liu Bei insisted on talking about it was to show his loyalty to the royal family. In the future, when future generations ask about this historical material, there are also many authoritative witnesses to prove that "Liu Bei's first reaction when he was surprised to hear that Dong Thief usurped the throne was like."

It was also a coincidence. Fortunately, Liu Bei said this and had this reception. If it was a week late, the answer would be revealed. Everyone knew that Dong Zhe died. The so-called emperor abdicating the country was just a scene by Wang Yun, so Liu Bei's loyal performance would not have a chance to be performed.

Now, at least from the princess to the ordinary strategists and generals in the camp, they have truly seen the unparalleled loyalty of the lord. Whether outsiders believe it or not, it will be of great help to gather the morale of the team.

Liu Bei really doesn't miss all the opportunities to win people's hearts, but he is really sincere. It's like if a person really acts for a lifetime, you can't say he is acting.

...

When Liu Bei came out, civil and military officials such as Lu Su, Fa Zheng, Xu Huang, and Dian Wei were already waiting, not to mention Li Su. In addition, there were some newly demoted civil officials under Liu Yan, such as Zheng Du, Cheng Ji, and Qin Mi, who had relatively low qualifications and positions, and were also absorbed by Liu Bei and came to Hanzhong to work.

The scenes are not repeated. The civil and military officials already know the current situation, so Liu Bei asked to discuss the strategy of debating the thief.

Li Su really wanted to repay the answer directly, but he still had to act one after another, so he had to wait for Fa Zheng to introduce the situation step by step.

Liu Bei: "Xiaozhi, you have been in Sanguan for a long time and have dealt with more detailed military information. Let me first talk about the current situation of the garrison generals under Dong Zhe. It's also my fault that I always thought the battle was still far away, but I didn't care about military information for the past few months."

Fa Zheng made a very capable answer: "Report to the lord, there are now four generals under Dong's command, and they are stationed in the "Qin's Four Passes".

The General Niu Fu, the Five-Secret General, was stationed in Anyi and guarded Puyangjin. Under them were the lieutenants Li Jue and Guo Si;

The general of the Hu Ben Central Army, Lu Bu, stationed in Lantian and guarded Wuguan, and there were lieutenants Zhang Liao and Zhang Ji under it; however, because Lu Bu was part-time ban on Zhongsuwei, Wuguan Road Defense was actually cut off by Zhang Ji throughout the year;

The Right Central Army General Duan Weitun Huayin was stationed in Huayin, and refused Tongguan, Hongnong, and Junhan. Under them were the lieutenant Wang Fang and the lieutenant Yang Ding;

The left-level general Dong Yuetun Chencang was guarding Sanguan, and there was a lieutenant Fan Chou under it."

Li Su has not been concerned about military affairs for a long time, so he listened to Fa Zheng's introduction very seriously. He soon noticed that something different from the original history should have been different from the original history. Dong Zhuo's subordinates should have two more generals, namely Hu Zhen and Xu Rong, but Xu Rong was brought back to Liaodong by Li Su's butterfly effect, and Hu Zhen was shot and killed by Zhao Yun in the battle of Luo last year.

Correspondingly, Lu Bu, who took Hu Zhen's remaining troops to withdraw to Chang'an, finally became the General of the Central Army. It has to be said that Dong Zhe is quite stingy with rewards to his adopted son. Just because Lu Bu is the Bingzhou Army, he is now the General of the Central Army by chance.

At the same time, because of Li Su's butterfly effect, the sphere of influence of the Dongdong Alliance in the Sili area is larger than that of the same period in history. Zhu Ye still guards the ruined land around Luoyang and calls himself the Yin of Henan, and officially breaks with Dong Zhuo.

Because Dong Zhuo did not want to consume more with Zhu Yi, he took the initiative to retreat a little, leaving only one Zhonglang general Duan Wei in the sect, headed by guarding Tongguan, taking care of Hongnong.

Because if we follow the original history, Dong Zhuo would put two generals in the direction of Wuhandao. In addition to Duan Wei, Dong Yue should also be in Mianchi, in order to completely hold the three hundred miles of Wuhandao in his own hands. Now it is changed to shrinking and guarding only one exit, and the mountainous area of ​​one or two hundred miles in the middle is not allowed.

The reason why Dong Yue was transferred to Chen Cang was also very obvious that Liu Yan in the same period of history was too weak, and Dong Zhuo was not willing to be on guard at all. Now Liu Bei is much stronger than Liu Yan in the same period. Of course, Chen Cang should focus on defense, and it is worth sending a general in charge.

After hearing this, Li Su shook his fan and touched his beard and summarized: "In this way, our army's northern expedition, Anyi Niufu and Huayin Duanyu were all hundreds of miles away. The one who could intercept us was the first to be Dong Yue at the Sanguan intersection, and then Lu Bu at the Ziwu Valley entrance of Lantian. In this way, if our army wants to make a symbolic northern expedition, we can only avoid Chencang Road and Ziwu Road. There is no choice. I think we sent thousands of people to the Baoxi Road and to the Meiwu to shake the flag and shout and bluff, that is. Yun Changyide is not there, so it is impossible to really win."

When Lu Su heard this, he asked worriedly: "How to ensure the transportation of military food when you really walk on Baoxia Road? Baoxia Road is a plank road."

Li Su: "Just bring half a month of food to the enemy, and if you can attack the enemy, you can search for small enemy troops in the fourth field to fight in a field, and it will be enough to defeat the enemy's aura and promote our army's power. If you don't have enough food, you will withdraw directly."

Liu Bei was very unwilling to accept it when he heard this, but Lu Su and Fa Zheng both agreed: "We also agree with Boya's proposal. Now there are only a few thousand soldiers in Hanzhong, and it is impossible to fight with Dong Zhe. We sent troops to a small victory and left, just to show our determination to fight against the thief, so that Dong Zhe saw that someone dared to fight for justice just now when he usurped the Han Dynasty."
