"Exactly. Once Cao's army confuses or forces Yuan Shao to stagnate, the general will inevitably face the enemy alone. This is very dangerous. Moreover, even if Cao's army is defeated, the general will continue to fight against Yuan Shao to unify the north and even the whole country.

"Then what is Mr. Kong Ming's opinion?" Xu Shu asked.

"Tongguan is strictly guarded in the east, and the main force goes south to eat Liu Zhang." Kong Ming said briefly.

"Sir, do you mean to sit and watch Cao Cao kill Yuan Shao?" Luo Chen said. "The general predicted that Cao Cao would defeat Yuan Shao?" Kong Ming was quite curious. Luochen immediately realized that he had leaked his words. He knew this history, so he naturally told it. Little did they know that at that time, most people thought that Yuan Shao had a better chance of winning than Cao Cao. "Uh, yes..." Luochen said hesitantly.

0......

"The general and I have the same humble opinion." Kong Ming said. "Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shao will inevitably go deep into Hebei and even Youzhou. The general can take advantage of the Cao Yuan war to annex Yizhou, integrate the entire western region, and infiltrate Jingzhou. This is the best policy."

"Yizhou is steeped in mountains and the terrain is dangerous, so it's not that easy to fight..." Xu Shu was a little worried.

"Yizhou is indeed in danger, but at this time Liu Zhang is weak, and it is the best time. If you want to change someone to be the prefect, maybe you really won't be able to get in... You can enter the army from Jiamengguan Road." Kong Ming said. "But there is one more danger..."

"Yinping Trail?" Luochen asked.

"Exactly! The general really knows everything!" Kong Ming was both surprised and admired, "But this move is quite dangerous, and the entire army might be wiped out."

"Hehehe..." Luochen smiled, those who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms know that...

"Mr. Analysis, I'm so excited, Luochen will do it according to your suggestion!" Luochen said. "I want to dare to ask Mr. to follow me to Chang'an, so that Luochen can ask for advice sooner or later..."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "A general who has never met a bright master in a lifetime will surely achieve great things. It's just that Kong Ming is stupid and a savage in Nanyang, who just wants to farm here and visit in his spare time...not for fame and fortune."

Luo Chen was anxious, and said: "Sir, don't rush to make a decision, just listen to my Luo Chen.".

Chapter 20 Yizhou

However, Zhuge Liang politely refused Luochen's invitation, and Luochen was anxious and said something: "Luochen was originally the leader of the Yellow Turbans, but because of the corruption of the regime, people's livelihood was withered. In Dong Zhuo's army, he sat and watched several coups and became an independent army. After the powerful forces of the army, they fought against each other many times. What Luochen felt most deeply was the huge impact of the war on the people. Now Luochen has no other intentions.

Zhuge nodded, very moved.

"Now the country is divided into feudal lords, there are many clans, ordinary people are subject to multiple exploitation and control, the country is poor and weak, and the barbarians are becoming more and more rampant. Luochen wants to change this situation, but he is helpless and unable to speak alone, and it is inevitable that he is weak, so I beg Mr. Luo Chen said that he was in tears.

The people present were unmoved.

Zhuge Liang was deeply moved: "May 17, although Liang is stupid, I am willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses and assist the generals to unify the world."

"Thank you sir!" Luo Chen thanked him again and again.

Now that Kongming had decided, he ordered Zhuge Xu to go to Chang'an with Luochen that day. A group of people spent the night in Xiaoxing and arrived at Chang'an in a few days.

"Call Xu Da and Ma Chao to see me in Chang'an!" Luo Chen ordered Meteor Ma Chuan to come over. During this period, Luochen met the ministers in person, and officially appointed Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu as commanders and assistants.

The next day, Xu Da led Ma Chao to visit Luochen, and Xu Da first reported the situation of Yuan Cao's battle: "Yuan and Cao's armies will win and lose each other. It is rumored that Cao Cao will run out of food and grass, which is very dangerous. I suspect that Cao Cao will not be able to hold it anymore, Yuan Shao will win. Immediately. When will our army strike?"

Luochen shook his head: "Change the strategic plan, change the east to the defensive, and attack the south." Xu Da was shocked, pondered for a while, and said, "Resolutely obey the command of the lord. How to adjust it?"

"Xiahou Yuan has 60,000 troops in Hanzhong, and it is said that it has recently expanded by 10,000; you have drawn 50,000 from the defenders in the Tongguan area to join Xiahou Yuan. After the meeting, the troops immediately headed for Jiameng Pass, and after winning this pass, they passed through Jiange, took Fucheng, and went straight to Chengdu!" Luo Chen said and handed the sword to Xu Da, "You are in full command, disobedient, whether it is Who, stand up!"

"Yes!" Xu Da took the sword and went to Tongguan to dispatch troops without stopping.

Luochen instructed Yanqing to order 20,000 guards in the capital, preparing to lead this group of people from Yinping Trail. When it comes to Luochen's safety, Yan Qing is always very conservative: "How can the lord come to the tiger's den in person, if something goes wrong, Yan Qing will die. The lord will still go with the army, and I can lead this group of people..." Luo Chenyao He shook his head: "Although Xu Da's army is huge, the real main force is 20,000 people. As the lord, I should be on the most important front line. After our troops arrived in Chengdu, to force Liu Zhang to surrender, Xu Da's task is to Use a large army to ensure that all the gates and cities of the Shu army will surrender to our army. Those who dare to be stubborn and not surrender will inevitably destroy the city." Yan Qing was still quite worried about Luochen's safety, and Luochen had to agree to send Lu Bu to go with the army.

Luochen invited Xu Shu again: "Mr. Yuanzhi, the main force and generals are going south this time, and the Guanzhong area is very empty for a while... Although the battle between Cao Yuan is in full swing, we must be prepared..."

"If the lord has any requirements, just say it." Xu Yuan said straightly. "I would like to ask your gentleman to go to Tongguan and lead 50,000 guards to strictly prevent foreign troops from entering my Guanzhong area." Xu Shu nodded again and again: "Tongguan area is very important and should be strictly guarded against. I am willing to sit in Tongguan and strictly guard Tongguan." : "With Mr. here, I can rest assured."

Luochen did not send Zhuge Liang to accompany the army, but Yin Pingdao led his own army. As for Xu Da's army, Yan Qing believed in Xu Da's ability. Yan Qing asked Zhuge Liang to sit in Chang'an and be in charge of commanding all military and political affairs in Guanzhong. As for Zhang Juzheng and Lin Chong, one is fully implementing the land-equalization system and the government military system, and the other is working on steel and gunpowder. The two are very busy, and Luochen did not let them participate in other things.

The fallen army was swift and resolute, and in just a few days, Xu Da's troops on the southern line had already marched towards Jiameng Pass. The 20,000 horses that fell to the dust also went straight to Yinping Road. Xu Da made great fanfare, while Luo Chenjun was extremely secretive.

The words were divided into two parts, but the news that Xu Da's army of 120,000 people came to Chengdu, and the people in Shu were panicked.

Above the hall, the advisors whispered and whispered, and the military generals on the opposite side looked serious. Zhang Song has a mustache, and his cheeks are extremely thin as if they had been cut by a knife. This man is short in stature, and his body seems to be covered with bones. He sat in the corner of the lobby and looked at the panic-stricken counsellors sarcastically. Liu Zhang is weak, and it is not a matter of time before Yizhou is annexed. What is there to panic about? of! "Everyone hurry up to discuss and discuss, but what is it?" Liu Zhang's voiceless voice came from the main seat of the hall. This Liu Zhang was short and fat. Looking at the emergency documents reported from Jiamengguan and other places, he was at a loss and sweating profusely.

"When the book was published, this gatekeeper had already been slashed by Xiahou Yuan, and now the last commander will lead a few troops to resist, and Jiameng gate will be closed soon."

The last thing that came was a brief note from a lieutenant general of Jiamengguan. Obviously, Jiamengguan is probably in the hands of that Xu Da now.

A medium-sized counselor with a murderous face walked out. This man had a vicissitudes of life and some white hair: "The only solution today is to keep the walls clear. Xu Da's army of more than 100,000 troops has entered our land, and all the cities should be kept behind closed doors. , All the people outside the city moved into the city, all the food was confiscated, and all the houses were demolished. At that time, Xu Da's army can only sleep in the wild, and they can't raise food, so they can only get out! When the Shu army pursues, I will be able to Destroy it!"

The hall was silent.

This Huang Quan is too ruthless, I can think of this method. Zhang Song cursed inwardly.

"I think it's feasible!" General Zhang Ren walked out. This Zhang Ren, a famous general in Shu, was a die-hard fighting faction.

It was 5.3 when it made a sound. Zhang Song said to himself, let you see what debating talent is. "Those who say this should be beheaded!" Zhang Song shouted loudly. He was short and his voice was not small.

"The walls are clear, the people's food has been confiscated, and the houses have been destroyed. How can you be a parent official in Yizhou? It's shameless!"

"You!" Zhang Ren was furious, as if he wanted to draw his sword and cut the thin man. "I did this not for the good of Yizhou, but for the sake of the Lord!"

"For the sake of the lord? Yizhou has five buckets of rice religion, the unity of politics and religion, and is famous for benevolence and righteousness. You ruined the lord's name! And who is the invader? Bei! According to you, before the fallen army came over, the surrounding peasant uprising army cut you Zhang Ren down!"

"You..." Zhang Yi was at a loss for words. .

Chapter 21 Entering the Army

However, it is said that there was a heated debate among the people in Shu. Zhang Song scolded people in different ways.

Fazheng came out to speak. This law is upright, he usually has a low temperament, and likes to hold revenge, but this person has great talents, and he and Zhang Song can get along well. "Fortify the walls and clear the fields, self-destruction of productivity, but self-destruction of the Great Wall, very stupid." Fa Zheng said calmly.

"How do you say this?" Huang Quan asked.

"The agricultural production of Yizhou will inevitably be seriously affected after the clearing of the wilderness, the farmland will be abandoned, and the order in the city will be worrisome. Even if the fallen army is repelled this time, the fallen army can make a comeback after a little rectification. And can we strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness again and again? We will soon Will starve to death, or be hacked to death by peasant rebels."

"At least block this attack first! Let's talk about it later!" Huang Quan said.

"Cut, you are short-sighted." Zhang Song laughed loudly. He saw that Huang Quan's face did not change color, but his facial muscles were twitching, showing that he was very angry.

Zhang Song is a little nervous, this Huang Quan is a person who can't hide it. He remembered that at 10 the other night, he came home lazily and lay in bed. This is the voice of a young man next to him: "Master Zhang..."

Zhang Song was frightened to death and was about to call someone, but the man said calmly, "I've come from Luocheng." Zhang Song was startled, and immediately guessed eight or nine points. He immediately dismissed the idea of ​​calling someone. .

"This general... Really the Prime Minister sent you here?"

"That's right, in Xia Yanqing, the Prime Minister Luo is close to guarding the general."

When Zhang Song heard that it was Luochen's personal bodyguard general, he felt that there was drama, this person must be Luochen's confidant. "The prime minister understands that Mr. Zhang looks arrogant and unruly, but in reality he is worried about Yizhou, and has been looking for a master for many years." The general named Yan Qing said. Zhang Song was shocked, how could this fallen prime minister know what he was thinking. (Because Luochen had seen "Romance of the Three Kingdoms") Yan Qing left a box of gold, "Sir, please try to make Liu Zhang's policy beneficial to our side. When the prime minister of Luochen enters Yizhou, he must thank him." in the dark.
