"Well, it is worthy of my Aichen, who has analyzed it so thoroughly.I was a little impulsive before, but after Fa Zheng's reminder, I finally woke up. ”That is, Liu Bei looked at Fa Zheng and couldn't help but show a smile and said: "This matter will be handed over to Fa Zheng to deal with, replace me to meet those Wei troops, let them be placed somewhere in the city gate, and let them do their best to protect a city gate for our Shu Kingdom, you must do whatever it takes, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”At that moment, Fa Zheng bowed to Liu Bei and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty's words, the minister will definitely tell Wei Guo truthfully." ”Of course, Liu Bei will not have any doubts about Fa Zheng's words, after all, in terms of handling government affairs, Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang can be said to be his right-hand men, and with two of them, Liu Bei does not have to worry about those idle things.Just after Shu accepted the fleeing Wei army into Chengdu, almost at the same time, several armies of the Zhao army took all the places in Yizhou.After Zhao Yu recovered the people of Jiangzhou, he left all the wounded and guarded with 2,000 soldiers, and then continued to lead the army westward from Jiangzhou to Chengdu, the capital of Shu State, and the entourage was Dian Wei, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and Xu Gai.In addition, Yan Liang, Tai Shici, Pang De, Wenxing, Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Ma Dai, Zhang Ren, Liu Xuan, Deng Xian, Ling Bao and Qinwang Zhao Can, who were in charge of the other attack, had all led the army and surrounded Chengdu.As soon as this news came out, it immediately made the people of Chengdu panic, nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, besieged at the same time, no matter how strong Shu and Wei were, it was impossible to resist.In Chengdu, Liu Bei was originally extremely reluctant to those Wei countries, but at this time, when facing the encirclement of the army, Liu Bei also had to gather those remnants of Wei together.When the council was convened, he immediately said to his subordinate Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister Jingzhou can have a letter, this time the Zhao army is directly approaching our capital, so the reinforcements of Eastern Wu have not come yet, if it is delayed, I am afraid that my Shu country will die." ”Regarding Liu Bei's inquiry, Zhuge Liang didn't dare to be different, and hurriedly said to him: "Back to Your Majesty, the route from Yizhou to Jingzhou has been blocked by the Zhao army.At this moment, the secret letters between the two sides cannot be sent out at all, nor can they be received. ”Zhuge Liang's words obviously made Liu Bei lose confidence in his heart, and he immediately said dissatisfied: "What are these Wu countries planning to put our Shu Wei to death this time, do you know that if you lose our Shu Wei, it will be difficult for him Wu to fight against the Zhao army alone, once our two countries are broken by the Zhao army, the Zhao army will definitely lead the army directly into Jingzhou."
In terms of the topography of Jingzhou, the soldiers and horses of the Wu State are difficult to fight with it at all, and the infantry and cavalry of the Zhao State can be called the strongest soldiers in the world.Especially with Zhou Yu's vision, he will definitely give soldiers and horses to come to support, but at this moment, the Zhao army wants to surround my Chengdu, and the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu will definitely not appear on the battlefield so openly.However, please rest assured that Zhou Yu will definitely launch an offensive when our army fights with the Zhao army. ”Perhaps seeing that Liu Bei was worried, Fa Zheng, the minister on the side, also stood up and said: "The prime minister's words are not wrong, Zhou Yu's talent is not inferior to everyone who sits again, and it can be said that he is good at scheming."
If the Wu army directly enters Chengdu this time, it will be equivalent to increasing the defenders of Chengdu, which will only be used to strengthen Chengdu's defense, but it will not be able to counterattack and confront those Zhao troops who want to come.If Weichen is that Zhou Yu, and will lead the Wu army, secretly waiting for the Zhao army to attack the city, once the Zhao army is fully attacking my Chengdu, it will launch an offensive in the back, waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack the rear of the Zhao army.When the time comes, our soldiers and horses will immediately go out of the city to join forces with their Wu army and jointly kill the Zhao army, and they will definitely be able to defeat it in one fell swoop. ”Just as Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang were finished, a person suddenly stood up, showed a smile, and said in public: "Right now, Emperor Shu only needs to consider who to send and how many soldiers and horses to guard the gates of each city."
Judging from the division of troops of the Zhao army this time, the Zhao army just wanted to attack Chengdu with a flank attack, all the way to capture the north gate of Chengdu, and all the way to the east gate.The soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu will also come from the East City Gate, but when the Wu army comes, we must do our best to defend Chengdu, even if the Wu army will have reinforcements, it will definitely not send troops to help as soon as we fight with the Zhao army, unless it is when our army and the Zhao army are at war to the point that they are inextricable, or when Chengdu is about to be lost, then the Wu army will take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. ”This time it was no one else who spoke, but Sima Yi, the prime minister of the Wei army, who kept speaking in public when he saw the two wise ministers of the Shu army.Especially in front of Wei Jun, showing his intelligence, Sima Yi couldn't help but stand up and say with a smile.And as soon as he spoke, he explained the matter very clearly, which can be said to save a trace of face for the entire Wei State.Regarding Sima Yi's words, it can be said that no one raised objections, after all, Sima Yi's statement is very clear and reasonable.I only heard Liu Bei ask: "Then according to what Lord Sima Yi meant, this time you Shu and Wei are not at all better than dividing the army into four ways to guard the four city gates of the east, west, north and south, you only need to divide the troops into two roads, and guard the north city gate and the east city gate."
However, the Zhao army is cunning and treacherous, and if the Zhao army's people find out that we are only guarding two city gates, they will inevitably take advantage of this loophole and attack the weak place of our defense.Therefore, we still need to arrange some soldiers and horses at the south and west gates, but they only need to be suspicious soldiers. ”When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but be curious in his heart, and immediately looked at Sima Yi and asked: "Arrange suspicious soldiers, what is the solution" Sima Yi patiently explained: "As for the south city gate and the west city gate, the enemy army may not come to attack, but it will keep an eye on the movement of our army."
Therefore, we can let the people in the city put on the clothes of the soldiers, stand in the city gate tower, put on the general's clothes, and set up more general flags, and they will definitely be able to bluff the Zhao army in one fell swoop, don't think that these two city gates hide heavy soldiers.As long as the enemy army sees that there are many soldiers and horses in these two places, they will not dare to rashly divide their troops to attack, and our Shu and Wei armies can boldly and confidently guard the east city gate and the north city gate. ”Sima Yi's series of schemes made Liu Bei feel very happy when he heard about it, and immediately laughed loudly in court: "Hahaha, it is worthy of Sima Yi, the prime minister of the Wei army, who has such intelligence.This is a suspicious soldier when it comes out, and it will definitely make the Zhao army dare not rashly attack and capture my south and west gates.Our army can defend these two gates with only a small number of men, but the remaining east and north gates do not know how many troops should be sent, and who should be sent to defend them. ”Received Liu Bei's public appreciation, which also made the Wei army extremely face-saving, after all, this battle was not a one-man battle of Shu, and a war of Wei was also designed.All along, it has always been the two ministers of Shu who are giving advice to each other, and the people of Wei are here as if they are transparent, and they don't have any chance to play at all.finally let Sima Yi grasp a gap, immediately played a good role, and also won a bit of jackpot, in Sima Yi's heart, he, the prime minister of Wei, is no worse than Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu.However, after offering advice, it is inconvenient for Sima Yi to say much about the task of assigning soldiers and horses.After all, this is also the key to the victory of the decisive battle, and it is the capital of Shu, the alliance of the two armies Shu occupies most of the soldiers and horses, only to hear Zhuge Liang bow to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, according to reliable sources, the Zhao army that attacked the East City Gate this time was led by Zhao Yu, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun and Zhao Can, the crown prince of Zhao State.That Zhao Yu is treacherous and cunning, Guo Jia is resourceful, and with the intelligence of the two of them, he cooperates with Zhao Yun and Gao Shun, and he must be a dragon and tiger alliance, which should not be underestimated. ”As for the Zhao army attacking the north city gate, it was composed of the four generals of the Ma family, Yan Liang, Wenxing, Tai Shici, Pang De, and Xichuan, and Zhao Yan, the king of Qin, as the generals, and Xu Shu and Lu Xun as the military divisions, and the number of its main generals and soldiers and horses was far better than that of Zhao Yu's army attacking the south city gate.It seems that the Zhao army outside the south city gate is strong, but Zhao Yu at the east city gate is far more powerful than many people, so the strength and combat power of the enemy army at the two city gates this time can be said to be equal, and His Majesty on either side cannot be underestimated.It is better to divide the troops and horses into two armies, and the generals led by each army are also evenly divided, so that they can fight against the enemy forces at the two gates, and there will be no scruples at that time. ”Liu Bei nodded after hearing this, and immediately said: "Well, what the prime minister said is that the total strength of Wei is less than 40,000 at present, and all the troops of my Shu State are only 80,000 or 90,000, so 20,000 soldiers and horses will be allocated to the Wei army to be responsible for guarding the first army."
In addition, two more generals will be dispatched to assist, and it is necessary to keep Zhao Jun out and let him return empty-handed, preferably without returning. ”As soon as Liu Bei's words fell, Zhang Fei, the general under his command, immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, since we are going to divide troops to resist the Zhao army this time, then I, Zhang Fei, will lead the soldiers and horses and resist the Zhao army at the East City Gate with the people of Wei."
Hearing that the Zhao army attacking the East City Gate this time was led by that Zhao Yu, I Zhang Fei couldn't wait to take down this guy with my own hands, pull out his skin] Draw his tendons and drink his blood.With me Zhang Fei here, even if he Zhao Yu has three heads and six arms, he has to treat me honestly, and he doesn't want to step into Chengdu. ”:
