Chapter 433 The Three Kingdoms Confrontation? Liu Bei Said: No!
Chapter 433: Confrontation among the Three Kingdoms? Liu Bei said: No!
"Zhang Liao! The lonely king has given you an army of 100,000 men. Go and bring me the horse's superman's head!"
Forcing Ma Chao against him, Lu Bu didn't feel that it was his fault.
As the saying goes, if the king wants his minister to die, he must die!
For Lu Bu, no matter whether the rumor is true or false, since I, the lonely king, agree with it, as a subject, you, Ma Chao, will accept it.
Rebellion? That is treason, and it must not be tolerated.
Regarding Ma Chao's rebellion, Lu Bu's emotions were not only mixed with anger, but also with fear.
Yes, it's fear.
Today's Lu Bu is no longer as high-spirited and proud as he was when he just occupied Sanfu Xiliang.
After the defeat in Hebei, Lu Bu was defeated by Xiang Ji, not only the more than 100,000 Xiliang army.
What was knocked down by Xiang Ji was his courage and ambition.
Today, the Qin State has less than 200,000 fighting troops left.
Most of these were left behind by Zhang Liao, who was unfavorable in his attack on Luoyang.
Of the 200,000 troops Lu Bu sent out before, only about 40,000 of them managed to escape back to Chang'an.
Now, Ma Chao has rebelled in Wuwei with great momentum. He has successively conquered Xiping and Jincheng, and is now approaching Tianshui.
Facing Ma Chao's overwhelming momentum, how could Lu Bu not feel fear?
In the Battle of Hebei, Qin's generals suffered heavy losses. Now Lu Bu only has Zhang Liao and a few other generals available under his command.
Lu Bu now simply does not dare to trust or appoint military commanders like Pang De who were born in Xiliang.
Who knows if they will respond to Ma Chao's direct response when they are asked to unite their troops to go on an expedition?
Nowadays, Lu Bu cannot bear the slightest blow or betrayal.
But Lu Bu didn't know that the betrayed Ma Chao didn't just raise his troops blindly, but that everything was controlled by a pair of hands hidden behind the scenes.
"Military advisor, now that Lu Bu has fallen into the trap, once Zhang Liao's 100,000-strong army comes out, Chang'an will be empty. Can we directly march into Chang'an!?"
Liu Bei, who had been in Hanzhong, was very excited now.
Sure enough, getting a reliable military advisor will make a difference.
See, since I got Kong Ming, it has been a smooth journey, setting sail?
This series of changes in the Qin State were all controlled by Zhuge Liang himself, and their purpose was to divide the relationship between Lu Bu and the Xiliang generals headed by Ma Chao.
It's just that Zhuge Liang didn't expect the effect to be so effective. He just spread a rumor casually, and Lu Bu actually cooperated and killed Ma Teng's entire family.
What else is there to say?
The envoy immediately walked up and after some persuasion, Ma Chao, who was eager to avenge his father, fell into the arms of Emperor Zhaolie.
Now, Ma Chao, who was in Xiliang, had successfully attracted Qin's main army, and the opportunity Liu Bei had been waiting for naturally came.
As long as Chang'an is captured, Lu Bu, the separatist force that has been active in Xiliang for several years, will completely withdraw from the stage of history.
Moreover, Liu Bei, who captured Chang'an, could also obtain valuable war horse resources and also occupied half of the country.
This gave him the capital to compete head-on with Xiang Ji of Chu State.
In Liu Bei's opinion.
Hundreds of years ago, his ancestor Liu Bang could send troops in Chang'an, the land of Longxing, and defeat Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.
Then Liu Bei, a few hundred years later, can also send troops here, stage another Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, defeat the Chu State Xiang Ji, and return the whole world to the warm embrace of the Han Dynasty.
Now, there is only this one step left from the picture Liu Bei envisioned.
As long as Chang'an is captured, other states and counties in the Qin State will surely be defeated.
Liu Bei's hegemony has finally come to an end!
"The time has come, Your Majesty, it's time to send out troops!"
How could Zhuge Liang not know what Liu Bei was thinking?
You know, it was not only Liu Bei who was excited, but also Zhuge Liang.
Before Liu Bei found him, he had only tens of thousands of troops left and no territory left.
Now, in just a few years, he has single-handedly become the overlord of the world.
How could Zhuge Liang not be excited?
The great ancestor Liu Bang had many powerful assistants such as Han Xin, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping to achieve his hegemony.
Now Zhaolie Emperor Liu Bei only has Zhuge Liang, and he has achieved such hegemony. Doesn't that explain everything?
"Okay! Zhang Fei! I will give you an army of 100,000, go west from Qishan, attack the three counties of Tianshui, Nan'an, and Anding, and get in touch with the Qiang people and Ma Chao, and occupy the entire territory of Liangzhou!
Zhang Ren! I will give you an army of 80,000. We will march out of the Ziwu Valley and launch a surprise attack on Chang'an!
The rest of the army will follow our central army out of Sanguan, go straight to Chencang, Meicheng, and Wugong to attract the attention of the Chang'an defenders and create an opportunity for General Zhang Ren to sneak attack Chang'an!"
The high-spirited Liu Bei gave the order.
Today's Liu Bei is not at the time of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition in history.
Now, his strength far exceeds that of the same period in history.
Moreover, his opponent was not Boss Cao, but the already weakened Lu Bu.
Therefore, Liu Bei was not polite at all.
Three hundred thousand troops marched out of Hanzhong, and Liu Bei was obviously preparing to eat the entire Qin Kingdom in one bite.
Although he didn't know what the status of the Chu State's status was, Liu Bei definitely did not intend to let go of this opportunity.
Just this winter, I will let the banner of the Han Dynasty stand on the imperial city of Chang'an again!
In today's Qin State, after Zhang Liao's 100,000-strong army left, Chang'an's garrison only had tens of thousands of troops, and the rest of the country could only muster up more than 10,000 troops at most.
Facing an army of 300,000 Shu Han, they were simply unable to resist.
The Shu Han army that left Hanzhong was like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. In just over ten days, most of the two states and Yongzhou were already in their hands.
When Lu Bu, who was in Chang'an, heard the news, he was stunned.
What? Liu Bei? Then Liu Bei actually marched out of Hanzhong and broke the alliance between our two countries!?
Yes, in order to paralyze Lu Bu, Liu Bei had sent envoys and formed an offensive and defensive alliance with him.
Lu Bu, who knew Xiang Ji's power, naturally agreed.
Now in this world, Jingzhou Liu Biao is dead, and Jingzhou will obviously be annexed by Liu Bei.
Then the only ones facing the threat from Chu were the Shu Han and their own Great Qin.
The power of the Three Kingdoms has been established. As the weaker party, Lu Bu is not a fool. Why not use them if he has allies?
But Lu Bu never expected that this so-called ally turned out to be a jackal, a jackal that wanted to devour him.
Lu Bu was greatly frightened by this.
An army of more than 200,000 people! How can we resist it?
Now Zhang Liao's army may have reached Xiliang and will not be able to get back in time. Lu Bu is really at his wits' end.
"Zhongda! With the current situation, what should I do, the lonely king?"
His own military advisor Li Ru has died in Hebei. Now the only people who can give Lu Bu advice are his adopted sons, Sima Yi and Sima Zhongda!
