Chapter 1317: You Yuanzhi is in Xuande's heart
With confidence, Liu Bei's spirit was different. Liu Bei, who was at a loss before, seemed to have disappeared.
"Military advisor, Liu Yu's army is coming now. How should I deal with it in Yizhou to defeat Liu Yu?" Liu Bei began to ask Xu Shu's plan.
Xu Shu bowed and said to Liu Bei, "Master, please move to the front of the map!"
Liu Bei knew that Xu Shu wanted to give him a detailed explanation of the relevant plans, and generously followed Xu Shu's guidance to the map.
Xu Shu pointed to the map and analyzed: "Lord, the land of Hanzhong is rich and beautiful. The place where Fu Gong came from, and it covers three Shus. This place is connected to Guanzhong in the north and Sichuan in the south, and narrow in the north and south. Emperor Gaozu was able to become an imperial career!"
Liu Bei knew about these things, but now he also knew that such a good place was occupied by Liu Yu.
Liu Bei said jealously: "Hanzhong is the arm of Shuzhong, but it is occupied by Liu Yu, and I wish I could take it back."
"My wise, I'm going to make the plan today, that's exactly what I'm going to do!" Xu Shu felt that Liu Bei was so smart. After he said it, he understood.
"Yuan Zhi, let's talk about it in detail." Liu Bei was shocked. Taking back Hanzhong was just his thoughts. Could it be that Xu Shu had a plan and could it be feasible?
Xu Shu smiled slightly and began to explain his overall plan.
"Liu Yu gathered more than 100,000 troops to Hanzhong. Using Hanzhong as a base, he then planned Yizhou. In the following view, Liu Yu wanted to attack Yizhou, and the best strategy was to divide his troops into three groups." Xu Shu estimated Liu Yu's plan and analyzed: "Liu Yu's army gathered and he would definitely divide his troops to attack Zitong County, a county bordering Yizhou and Hanzhong. Zitong County had a dangerous Jiange Pass, which was the first barrier of Yizhou. It was the first route. Second, he went south to Baxi County, attacked Bazhong City, and then rushed to Nanchong, and then returned to the north to attack Jiange. Third routes, defeated Wudu County, captured Yinping, rushed to Wenshan, and pointed directly to Chengdu. At the same time, Gao Shun's troops in Fuling County would definitely attack Hanping, or sent troops to Badong County, advance into Brazil, and jointly attack Nanchong."
Liu Bei felt that if Liu Yu really did what Xu Shu said, it would be really difficult for him to defend Yizhou. He said with great concern: "If so, wouldn't my Yizhou be quickly destroyed by Liu Yu?"
Xu Shu smiled and shook his head and said, "Lord, if Liu Yu successfully blocked the news, our army would not be able to compete. Now that the lord learned that Liu Yu's army was about to arrive, my Yizhou would break Liu Yu's wishful thinking!"
"Oh?" Seeing Xu Shu so confident, Liu Bei wanted to listen.
"Liu Yu was the first to attack my Zitong, and he needed to repair the plank road. The lord could send a thousand soldiers. Once Liu Yu found out that he built the plank road, a fire could waste all his efforts. Even if Liu Yu sent elite troops to travel through mountains and rivers and cross the plank road, our army could retreat to Jiange Pass. The lord could send a general who was skilled in defense, relying on the steepness of Jiange, breaking Liu Yu's desire to go straight to Chengdu. Before the three armies moved, food and grass would go first. The Shu road was difficult, and only two months had to hold on, Liu Yu's army was short of food and would definitely retreat." Xu Shu first analyzed the first point and proposed countermeasures.
Liu Bei suddenly thought that the plank road had been destroyed long ago. If he wanted to repair it, it would take a lot of effort and time. Liu Bei only needed the smallest price to make Liu Yu return to nothing, so why not do it?
But Liu Bei thought of the past allusion, and built a plank road openly to travel to Chencang secretly. If Liu Yu came here too, it would be a bit serious.
Liu Bei said worriedly: "Yuan Zhi, do you think Liu Yu will have a gourd as he wants?"
Xu Shu understood what Liu Bei was saying, so he explained: "Lord, the Marquis of Huaiyin was secretly repairing the plank road and secretly traveling to Chen Cang because the Three Qins despise Emperor Gaozu and was very careless and negligent. At that time, Emperor Gaozu occupied Hanzhong and Chen Cang was in Guanzhong. Isn't it a joke? If Liu Yu wanted to refer to this plan, I could let him return with great defeat!"
Xu Shu's words actually reminded Liu Bei that he was thinking too much just now. In the Han Dynasty, everyone knows the allusion of secretly spending Chen Cang. It is really unwise to use this to describe the situation between Yizhou and Hanzhong at this time.
Liu Bei also blushed a little. He was really too nervous and thought too much just now.
"In this way, if I send a large army to Zitong, I can stabilize the three counties?" Liu Bei was very good at alleviating his embarrassment.
Xu Shu praised: "The lord is wise, and it is indeed so. Even if the Shenwu court has more troops, he must travel through mountains and rivers, cross mountains and ridges, and our army can wait for work and respond to all changes. I think that Liu Yu will definitely supervise the battle of Jiange himself. Now that he is sending troops to Zitong, Liu Yu comes in person, and the lord must show up, not worse than Liu Yu! As long as the lord comes in personally, our army's morale will definitely rise! Jiange is in danger and united as one unit, even if Liu Yu has a million troops, he cannot shake it."
If Liu Bei personally leads troops to fight against Liu Yu, this kind of thing is still a little dangerous. You must know that capturing the king first. Liu Bei thought that if he was unlucky and accidentally shot by a feather arrow, the joke would be a bit big.
It’s not that Liu Bei was too cautious, but that Liu Bei had experienced many accidents on the battlefield before, and his lifeline was almost ruined by Lu Ma Ge, who was mount. Even such a strange thing could happen, and nothing else could be impossible.
Seeing Liu Bei feeling a little embarrassed, Xu Shu's heart sank. Did Liu Bei start to be timid again? If so, it would be really troublesome.
But Liu Bei thought of one thing even more. As an emperor, Liu Yu dared to fight in person, how could he retreat? If Liu Yu appeared and he was not on the scene, his soldiers and generals under him were bewitched by Liu Yu's words, leading to the city surrender, that would be bad.
What Liu Yu was worried about was very reasonable. Today, everyone knew how powerful the mouth of Emperor Shenwu was. I heard that so far, few people have been able to win the battle with Liu Yu. After Liu Bei experienced the betrayal of Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, he was deeply suspicious of his subordinates' loyalty. People's hearts were separated from their belly, and Liu Bei himself could not communicate with others 100%, let alone others? If Liu Yu promised a high-ranking official and generous salary, God knew if anyone would be moved.
So Liu Bei must confront Liu Yu himself. As for personal safety issues, Liu Bei decided to bring more personal soldiers and guards around him.
"Yuan Zhi, you are right! In such a situation, my Liu Xuande will naturally have no choice!" Liu Yu looked unavoidable.
"The lord is brave and brave! He will come out in person and Liu Yu will be the first to give him a head!" Xu Shu quietly flattered Liu Bei.
The first attack that was speculated was properly resolved, and Liu Bei began to worry about the second one and asked: "If Liu Yu goes south to Brazil and attacks Bazhongcheng? Who can take charge of the overall situation?"
"The terrain of Brazil is the most dangerous and is not conducive to the walking of the army. I think that even if Liu Yu uses this strategy, his troops will definitely not be much. The lord can order the various checkpoints and cities in Brazil to prepare more powerful crossbows and arrows. When Liu Yu's thief army encounters Liu Yu's thief army, he does not need to go out of the city to fight and kill them with feather arrows. When his troops are weak, he will annihilate them in one fell swoop." Xu Shu waved his hand fiercely. "General Wen Chang is both wise and brave, and he can definitely stabilize the land of Sanba."
Liu Bei felt that Wei Yan was good as the main general, but according to Xu Shu's last sentence, it seemed that Wei Yan was going to command the three counties of Brazil, Badong and Ba County. Liu Bei did not doubt whether Wei Yan could defend the situation. Instead, these three counties, together called "Three Bas", have the largest area and a large population. In the future, defeated Liu Yu and Wei Yan led the three counties, resulting in a large tail. Will Liu Bei take action against him? Or not?
As the lord, Liu Bei would think of more things.
Xu Shu naturally considered this point. He proposed a solution and said: "The lord and General Wen Chang are sworn brothers. Although they have no blood, they are even close. Only General Wen Chang can use it very much. With General Wen Chang's ability, it is still acceptable to defend the enemy, but maintaining logistics is difficult. I think that Sun Gongyou is very talented and can go out with the army, consult on military operations, and give advice to General Wen Chang."
Liu Bei nodded straight when he heard this. Sun Qian was definitely reliable. With him by Wei Yan's side, Wei Yan could not be authoritarian. Sometimes Sun Qian even dared to contradict Liu Bei, and followed Liu Bei for a longer time than Wei Yan, and his loyalty and qualifications were naturally higher than others.
"In such an extraordinary situation, the matter of dispatching troops and generals is of course decided by the lord himself. The tiger talisman must be in the lord's hands." Xu Shu used another big move.
Yes, Xu Shu made Liu Bei unable to hand over the tiger talisman representing military power to anyone, including Xu Shu himself. Liu Bei's eyes shrank, understood Xu Shu's intention, and nodded in an instant and said, "The military advisor's words are deeply loved by my heart."
Xu Shu knew that Liu Bei would not refuse this suggestion. After all, this was very beneficial to Liu Bei. Liu Bei could have an excuse to hold military power tightly in his own hands and let Xu Shu be this evil man. Liu Bei would push all his responsibilities to Xu Shu at that time, and would be happy to be idle. Wouldn't it be nice?
"Military advisor, what's the last journey?" Liu Bei thought of the last difficult problem.
"Lord, if Liu Yu kills Wudu County, Wudu County will most likely not be able to defend it. But if Liu Yu wants to run to Yinping and turn to Wenshan, he will think that I can let him do what he does!" Xu Shu said without caring at all.
This surprised Liu Bei. In the first two groups, Xu Shu either arranged heavy troops or arranged the overall situation. Why did the last guess make Xu Shu so careless?
Liu Bei said in confusion: "Military advisor, in this way, Liu Yu is going straight in."
"Don't worry, lord. Wudu, Yinping and Wenshan, although there are roads, the road is dangerous and barbarians are also present. If Liu Yu sent troops to this road, his troops would not know when they would be able to reach the end. I think the lord ordered Wudu, Yinping and Wenshan to guard against each other! Liu Yu had no chance to take advantage of the opportunity. Seeing our army in this state, he would have to think twice if he wanted to send troops." Xu Shu said calmly.
"This? If Liu Yu put all his troops on the third route, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous?" Liu Bei was still very worried. Xu Shu's arrangement was inappropriate.
"Don't worry, lord! The journey to Chengdu is very long after passing through Wudu, Yinping, Wenshan, and Wenshan. Liu Yu's army's food route cannot be guaranteed. I will conclude that he dare not use troops here." Xu Shu was very confident in his judgment.
Liu Bei obviously did not have that much confidence.
Xu Shu bowed and said, "Lord, Wudu, Yinping, and Wenshan are the key to defeating Liu Yu in the Xiaxia. I want to be responsible for these three places in person!"
Liu Bei was arranged to Zitong by Xu Shu, Wei Yan arranged to the Sanba land, and Liao Li was located in Hanping City, but Xu Shu himself did not make any arrangements. It turned out that Xu Shu himself was responsible for the last step.
Liu Bei is very good at it. Xu Shu himself has to be responsible for this place, but what plans do Xu Shu still cannot tell it?
"Lord, as long as Zitong and Sanba are in the land of Hanping City, Liu Yu will definitely not be able to do anything to our Yizhou. When the food and grass are not enough, our army will defeat Liu Yu. At that time, the lord can attack Hanzhong and occupy the land of Longxing. Advance can plan Guanzhong, look down on Shangyong, threaten Jingzhou. Retreat can protect the foundation of Yizhou and fight for dominance of the world. This is a major plan designed by the lord." Xu Shu told his big plan.
Xu Shu needs to ensure the secret of his plan. Liu Bei can have two spies Zhang Song and Fa Zheng around him. Wouldn't there be other spies? If Liu Bei knew his plan and said it to someone who shouldn't have heard of it, then Xu Shu's plan would be ruined.
After hearing Xu Shu say so much, Liu Bei didn't say anything about the specific matters at all, which shows that Xu Shu has his own intentions.
Without doubting hiring people, Liu Bei felt that under such a state, he would give Xu Shu the greatest trust and power.
"Yuan Zhi! You can let go! I believe in you!" Liu Bei stared at Xu Shu with eager eyes.
Xu Shu bowed his hands and said gratefully: "I will never let my lord down."
Liu Bei nodded slightly. He had already given power to Xu Shu. Whether or not it depends on Xu Shu's performance.
"Lord, there is another thing we need to do right away." Xu Shu said.
"What's the matter?" Liu Bei was a little confused.
Xu Shu said seriously: "Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others left Yizhou and must have gone to Hanzhong to meet Liu Yu. They were deeply rooted in Yizhou and had various disciples and officials. These people are all serious problems. The lord had to eliminate them! The checkpoints and the layout of the city need to be changed."
"Yuanzhi, I can give you this right, and you can deal with anyone with suspiciousness freely." Liu Bei was very pleased. This was a wise man who thought of all the hidden dangers.
"Thank you lord!" Xu Shu felt Liu Bei's absolute trust and felt very warm in his heart.
"With Yuan Zhi, my Liu Xuande is free of worries!" Liu Bei gently patted Xu Shu's hand to express his affection.
Xu Shu also looked at Liu Bei eagerly.
Xu Shu and Liu Bei interpreted the relationship between the king and the subject in the study.
Wei Yan, who was standing guard outside, was a little trembling. It was a bit difficult for him to stand for so long.
