Everyone was grateful for Zhao Yu's intentional promotion and reward, but everyone was more excited about Zhao Yu's ascension to the throne.After the news spread that Zhao Yu was on the throne of the country, it could be said that it shook the world, especially Cao Pi, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan.Zhao Yu led the army to retreat after taking Xiliang, coupled with Liu Xie's Zen concession and Zhao Yu's ascension, the throne was simply a blow to the three of them.Originally, the alliance of Cao Pi, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan intended to resist the attack of Zhao Yu's army, but they didn't want Zhao Yu to ignore the three of them after taking Xiliang.After arranging some generals to guard the border, they led the men and horses back to Jizhou, and it didn't take long for Liu Xie to give the emperor's position to Zhao Yu.In this way, the three of them have really become traitors and thieves of the big man, and for a while, the three of them dare not speak out.If the three of them shouted again, it would be equivalent to a usurper thief calling Zhao Yu, the orthodox emperor who was conceded by Zen, really a bit of a face-cutting move.Seeing that Zhao Yu ignored the alliance of the three and avoided its sharp edge to recuperate, the three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu couldn't help but start secretly preparing, intending to prevent Zhao Yu's army from going south in the future.However, the first army of Eastern Wu is still good, and the army alone sits on one side and is not implicated.The Wei army and the Shu army in Yizhou were in a dilemma, and this time Liu Bei accepted Cao Pi's army, and also accepted more than 70,000 soldiers and horses and more than 20,000 or 30,000 people.Originally, Liu Bei thought that the reception of Cao Pi and others could be used as cannon fodder to resist Zhao Yu's army going south, and then with the help of Zhao Yu's hand, after completely destroying it, Liu Bei could logically collect the remnants of his soldiers and horses.But Liu Bei couldn't have imagined that after Zhao Yu took Xiliang, he didn't plan to enter the army, so Liu Bei himself moved a stone to shoot himself in the foot.Now, in the face of nearly 100,000 horses up and down the Wei State, Liu Bei can't catch up, seeing that these horses eat tight food every day, Liu Bei is at a loss for a while.Above the court, as soon as the ministers under his command went to the court, they told Liu Bei about the important events of the recent days: "Your Majesty, yesterday someone from the Wei army came to supervise the grain and grass, and the export was not inferior, and it almost clashed with the generals and soldiers of our army.If we don't solve the problem, I'm afraid there will be a big mess in the future. ”Hearing the other party's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but have a headache, just shook his head left and right in embarrassment, and couldn't help but look at the ministers below and said: "Before, didn't we send some sergeants to reclaim the wasteland together with the sergeants of the Wei army, and also allocate grain and grass to supply them, why didn't it take long for us to continue to make trouble." ”Minister Jiang Wan took the lead and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Wei army has a total of nearly 100,000 or so people, and the grain and grass given by our army before are only tens of thousands of stone grains, which can only be supported for a period of time.Although he later helped to reclaim all the wasteland, the process was slow because of the general terrain, and even if the reclamation was accelerated, it would not be possible to solve the actual problem until the harvest was reached, so there was a dispute between the two groups.The officers and men of our army all looked down on the defeat of the Wei army, and fled into our army to eat and drink for nothing, which was the fuse of the dispute between the two sides. ”It's good that Liu Bei didn't listen, but when he heard it, he couldn't help but be confused, and the six gods said: "Alas, what should I do, suddenly 100,000 horses came, how can I support it with our army's food."
Besides, our army has fought many battles before, and a lot of grain and grass have been consumed, but now there are disaster areas in some places, and the grain cannot be harvested at all.Let's talk about it, what should we do and how we should be good, we can't just go on like this, sooner or later there will be a big mess. ”As soon as Liu Bei's voice fell, even a general said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that with the strength of our army, coupled with the dangerous situation in Yizhou, it is enough to resist Zhao Yu's army going south."
We don't need these ruined Wei troops at all, and instead of these Wei troops eating and drinking in vain with us, it is better to expel them as soon as possible.Saving these Wei troops from being here, dragging down our army, and causing reputation and resentment, the morale of the soldiers was also greatly reduced. ”After the military general finished speaking, Wen Chen was in a row, and some people agreed: "That's right, Your Majesty, these Wei troops had a lot of resentment with our army in the past, and even if the Wei army was defeated this time, they were quite arrogant and rude."
In particular, there were quite a few complaints about our army's subsidy of grain and grass, and even blamed us for not being bold enough, which was really detrimental to the friendship of the landlords.Therefore, Weichen also thought that he should be expelled as soon as possible to avoid dragging down our army. ”This time it can be said that the generals and the ministers have a rare consensus, so it makes Liu Bei difficult.You must know that it was not easy to form an alliance with the Wei army for an armistice, and also took the opportunity to take half of Hanzhong occupied by the Wei army in vain.The most important thing is that Liu Bei has been paying attention to Cao Pi, the lord of Wei, and if the 70,000 soldiers and horses and 20,000 or 30,000 people brought this time can be incorporated into him, his own strength will inevitably increase greatly.Some people objected, but others questioned it, and the minister Fei Yi was one of them, and he only listened to his words: "Your Majesty, we are waiting to accept the people of Wei in public this time, and now Zhao Yu and his party are cunning and treacherous, and they want to avoid the edge of our two armies without fighting.If the world knows about it, I am afraid that no one will rise up and join our army in the future, and we will almost block our own way. ”Fei Yi's words can be said to be completely in response to Liu Bei's worries, seeing that someone finally said his heart, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel very touched, and hurriedly nodded at Fei Yi and said: "What Fei Yi said is very true, I am quite worried about this matter."
Now is when my Shu Han has just been founded, but when my allies are in trouble, I put it out of the way, if the world knows, I am afraid that I will laugh at the incompetence of my Shu Han. ”Just when Liu Bei was distressed, he suddenly heard Prime Minister Zhuge Liang speak: "Your Majesty, Kong Ming thinks that if you reject those Wei soldiers and horses at this moment, it is equivalent to following the Tao of Zhao Jun." ”Suddenly, Liu Bei seemed to have been electrocuted, and hurriedly asked him: "Prime Minister hurry up and tell me carefully, what is the matter?"
”I only heard Zhuge Liang immediately say: "Back to Your Majesty, Zhao Yu ordered his generals to divide his troops into three armies, each with more than 100,000 troops, a total of more than 300,000, and at the same time attacked many places in Xiliang, so that the Wei army, which was originally strong, had to divide its troops to block.Coupled with the competition between our army and the Wei army in Hanzhong, the Wei army had to divide more troops to defend against our army's offensive. ”"And this time, it is precisely because Zhao Yu excluded the other three-way armies that it looks like the main army, but in fact, Zhao Yu's soldiers and horses are the real main force.If it weren't for Cao Pi's luck this time, he sent sentries to escape the pursuit of the Zhao army and get in touch with our army, and our army sent reinforcements to assist in time, otherwise, the remnants of the Wei army would have been completely wiped out by the Zhao army this time. ”"According to the art of war, after Zhao Yu's army won the victory this time, it should take advantage of the victory to pursue, and hundreds of thousands of troops should go south together and annihilate the Wei State in one fell swoop.But Zhao Yu did not do this, but instead died down and waited for the changes.After learning that our army was in alliance with it, and persuaded Jiangdong to break away from the alliance with it and become a three-country alliance with our army and the Wei army, this Zhao Yu immediately stopped the war, sent generals to guard various places, and led troops back to Jizhou, just to cultivate and recuperate, and wait for our army to be separated from the Wei army and the Wu army. ”"Now Zhao Yu is strong, but he is afraid of our Three Kingdoms Alliance, and he will hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred, and Zhao Yu is unwilling to try.There must be friction and division among our Three Kingdoms, so Zhao Yu will inevitably take the opportunity to wave his army in one go, first destroy the Wei army, break our Shu army, and finally fight Eastern Wu. ”After hearing Kong Ming's words, Liu Bei and the others present were all taken aback, they never expected Zhao Yu to be so cunning and so forbearing.If the Shu army and the Wei army really have a conflict this time, they will definitely lose both, and it is very likely that they will be attacked by the Zhao army.Liu Bei hurriedly asked: "I really didn't expect this Zhao Yu to be so cunning, and he actually wanted to take advantage of the fisherman, then Kong Ming, what do you think we should do" Seeing Liu Bei so eager, Zhuge Liang said lightly: "Back to Your Majesty, Kong Ming thinks that Zhao Yu is bent on breaking the relationship between our army and the Shu army and Eastern Wu, so that we can pay attention to breaking it, so we must not let it succeed."
The more Zhao Yu wants our three kingdoms to break up, the more we must maintain a good relationship with each other, and only in this way can Zhao Yu be forced to have no way to start. ”"This time, Cao Pi, the lord of Wei, led 70,000 soldiers and horses, and nearly 30,000 people, totaling 100,000 horses.If Your Majesty is indifferent to this, I am afraid that these 100,000 generals and ministers of the Wei State will gradually alienate our army and Your Majesty, and if Your Majesty wants to recruit these people afterwards, I am afraid it will be much more difficult.Therefore, Kong Ming thought that this time the Wei army came to ask for grain and grass, and His Majesty should go there in person and give them the grain and grass in front of those Wei army soldiers. ”In this way, we can gather and take the opportunity to establish some prestige among these Wei troops, and also win the hearts of these Wei soldiers and people.This is beneficial and harmless to our army, as well as to Your Majesty, and once the Wei State loses again afterwards, these Wei soldiers and people are very likely to come to our army and be used by our army. ”As soon as Zhuge Liang's voice fell, Li Yan on the side stood up and retorted: "However, if our army funds these Wei troops again and again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support our army's grain and grass."
Moreover, it is not yet the harvest season, lest if there is any natural disaster or accident, or if the harvest is not good, the soldiers of our army and the people of the whole country will starve.When the time comes, who will solve this matter, not to mention supporting those people of the Wei State at that time, even the people of my Shu State will be difficult to solve. ”:
