Chapter 646 Thoughts
Qianhe quickly began to calculate in her mind as she read Liu Bei's reply.
With 200,000 troops, if used properly, taking Yizhou would not be difficult.
But he knew that Liu Bei estimated that Liu Zhang was a relative.
[Liu Bei: Has the battle in the north been decided?]
The scene ahead is Cao Cao fighting Yuan Shao at Guandu.
Chizuru wasn't there, so she didn't know what was going on.
[Liu Bei: The battle is over, and many of Yuan Shao's generals have come to join me. Now I have a large army and many generals, and I'd love to clash with Cao Cao. After all, Cao Cao just finished defeating Yuan Shao and definitely needs to rest, but I don't want to give him a chance to catch his breath!]
Liu Bei made his comments.
This is also why he is struggling with this.
But his advisors all said that he should use Yizhou as a backing.
But he felt he should take advantage of his life and kill him!
That is, the Northern Expedition!
[Chizuru: Xuande, I have two suggestions for you, please consider them!]
[Liu Bei: Please enlighten me, Taoist Master!]
At this moment, Liu Bei sat upright, looking at the chat group in front of him!
.......................
[Qianhe: First, with your current forces, you have a chance to attack Yizhou. However, Yizhou is strategically important, and although Liu Zhang is weak, he has many capable and experienced generals. You can have Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Jia Xu devise a plan together, first sending spies to scout out Yizhou's troop deployment and terrain. When the time is right, you can enter Yizhou under the guise of allies, and then seize the opportunity to act.]
[Qianhe: Second, you can have Zhao Yun lead the Jiangdong troops out of Jiangdong to attack Hefei, and Guan Yu lead the Jingzhou troops out of Jingzhou to attack Cao Ren. You, on the other hand, should lead the Hanzhong troops to attack Chang'an. At the same time, you should ask Liu Zhang to help send troops, otherwise we'll just swallow him up.]
Upon seeing Qianhe's two plans, Liu Bei was overjoyed!
What a great idea!
[Liu Bei: Thank you, Daoist Qianhe! I'll make the arrangements right away!]
After the chat group was closed, the ministers standing nearby exchanged glances upon seeing Liu Bei's appearance.
Liu Bei's eyes lit up even more when he saw Qianhe's suggestion.
He turned to the strategists and generals who were listening intently, and said loudly, "Gentlemen, Daoist Qianhe already has a brilliant plan, which is..."
Then, Liu Bei explained the arrangements.
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with excitement, and they rubbed their hands together, ready to make a big splash.
Only Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked rather unwell.
The main reason is that they joined Liu Bei's army because they wanted to lead the team to conquer Yizhou, and that's how they could gain merit.
After all, the capture of Hanzhong and Jiangdong was entirely due to Jia Xu's efforts!
At that time, Zhang He and Gao Lan, two of the Four Pillars of Hebei, went south to join Liu Bei after Wuchao was burned down.
Because Liu Bei's reputation soared, and his strength dominated Jingzhou and Jiangdong!
The original story is that only Cao Cao could join; otherwise, if they had a choice, they would have chosen someone else.
This has led to the current change in the situation.
Liu Bei has a great many military generals on his side!
.............................
His generals included Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wen Pin, Huang Xu, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Huo Jun, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Zhao Yun.
There are also some who are relatively weak in martial arts. It can be said that Liu Bei now is even more terrifying than at his peak in the original novel!
During the original Three Kingdoms period, he only controlled half of Jingzhou and half of Yizhou.
As for Hanzhong, Cao Cao relocated its entire population there.
The current population of Hanzhong is still there because Cao Cao did not attack Hanzhong first!
Therefore, the entire population of Hanzhong was under Liu Bei's control!
Liu Bei now controls Jingzhou, Jiangdong, and Hanzhong!
All that's missing is Yizhou, and then we can share the world with Cao Cao!
It really is a north-south divide!
at this time.
Zhuge Liang stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, “My lord, although the plan to attack Yizhou is brilliant, Liu Zhang is, after all, of the same clan as you, and this move may be criticized. Moreover, if we rashly launch a northern expedition against Cao Cao, Cao Cao has a deep foundation and we may not be able to win easily.”
If Chizuru were here, she would be speechless upon hearing this.
So, the Longzhong Plan was meant to establish Yizhou as a base, but now you're talking about being from the same clan!
Pang Tong echoed, "Yes, my lord, we should first take Yizhou steadily before venturing into the Central Plains."
Clearly, they want to head south to Yizhou!
Liu Bei frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "What you two say makes sense, but now that Cao Cao has just won a victory, if we don't take this opportunity to put pressure on him, it will be even more difficult for us to contend with him once he recovers his strength."
Just as everyone was arguing, a soldier suddenly came to report: "My lord, Cao Cao has sent an envoy, Sima Yi."
Liu Bei and the others were all taken aback, wondering what Cao Cao's envoy wanted. They stopped arguing and prepared to see what news the envoy would bring and what changes the envoy's arrival would bring to Liu Bei's next decision.
