"You!"
Seeing that his suggestion was so belittled by Liu Xian, Guan Yu's phoenix eyes glared at him! Mi Zhu also looked at Liu Xian with a face of contempt. I thought it was some kind of high level person, but I didn't expect it to be just a fanatic!
Liu Bei heard this, but the heart of curiosity said:
"Why did the consigliere say this?"
Zhang Fei and others are also curious to look at Liu Xian. Facing the gazes of the crowd, Liu Xian did not have the slightest bit of timidity. His words were not unfounded. So he laughed: "If we attack Lu Bu directly, how much chance of victory can our army have? "
Guan Yu sneered, "Lu Bu is just one person, why is the consigliere repeatedly afraid of him?"
Liu Xian shook his head and said, "Lu Bu has consigliere Chen Gong under him, and military generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, even if we are driven out of Xiapi, we will not be able to defeat them head on, and if we really want to fight, Yuan Shu will still attack us from the back, and the defeat of Xiapi (present day Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province) will be staged once again."
"This..."
When Guan Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless. It is true that in terms of tactics, he is not afraid of Lu Bu at all. But if Lu Bu really wants to fight him to the death, then he really can't do anything about it, instead, there are other enemies in other places who end up being besieged and die.
Seeing this, Mi Zhu lightly laughed:
"Therefore, I suggest to take the East China Sea first, and then attack Lu Bu, so, how can it be the way to perish?"
"Heh heh heh ...."
Liu Xian laughed:
Attack Lu Bu first is a way back, but if we seize the East China Sea, our army is a dead end!"
Seeing his elder brother's plan being refuted like this, Mi Fang couldn't help himself and got up and coldly drank, "Ridiculous!" "Why is it that if you attack Xiapi directly, you will have a way out, but if you attack the East China Sea, you will be dead. Is it possible that a place with a foundation can still be wrong? "
Liu Bei saw the crowd arguing, not only do not stop, but more and more interested. This is the more quarrel, the more can see the gap between Liu Xian and the crowd!
"Consigliere, is there something unusual about the East China Sea?"
Liu Xian laughed.
"Is there a map?"
Liu Bei busy said:
"Come on people, carry that map from my house over here!
Not long after, there were soldiers carrying a map in. Liu Xian pointed at the map and said:
"Admittedly, if it is as Engaged Mi said, Donghai County is indeed extremely easy to seize. However, let's take a look at this Donghai County (Linyi City, Shandong Province) and Langya County (Qingdao City, Shandong Province), to the east is Xiaopei (present-day Pei County, Jiangsu Province), to the south is Guangling (present-day Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province), and to the north is Taishan County (present-day Shandong Province)."
Mi Fang said disdainfully:
"So what?"
Liu Xian sneered:
"The words are here, can't you see? This Donghai County is a trap! To the east, Lu Bu is watching intently, to the south, Yuan Shu may go north at any time, and to the north, the Taishan thieves and Zang Ba (Taishan Corps, i.e., a party of independent forces at the end of the Han Dynasty) are hovering here. Once the Lord captured this East China Sea County, Lu Bu will not be able to tolerate it and will come to attack it! Yuan Shu wants to take over Xuzhou, naturally he can't just sit back and do nothing, he will also send his army! When that happens, the Taishan bandits in the north will not allow you to go north. A mere East China Sea can't withstand a three-way attack? Moreover, Luangya County is now under Zangba's administration, and is under the control of the local strongholds, who are more willing to accept Zangba than the Lord, so how can they allow us to take over Luangya County? How can we take over Luangya County? That's why this is a dead end.
When the crowd heard this, they sucked in a breath of cold air. Indeed, as Liu Xian said, once the capture of Donghai County, most likely will cause three parties to attack each other! Guan Yu Mi Zhu was already frowning. I thought that Liu Bei is now getting repaired, it is a good time to expand. I did not expect the situation to remain so urgent! Liu Bei is also a sinking heart, yesterday was very happy to hear, but now realize the reality of the difficulties!
Mi Fang heard this, still somewhat unconvinced said:
"Since we can't go to the south, we can't go to the north, and we can't go to the west. Then I dare to ask the consigliere what superior opinion?"
See this, disdainfully said:
"Who said that the south side cannot go! Now is the right time to attack Guangling County (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China)!"
At these words, everyone was shocked. Zhang Fei was even more puzzled, saying:
"Sir, before but you said that the attack on Guangling will be defeated, how now called to attack Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China)?"
Guan Yu coldly snorted:
"You people, is it that you can't think of a way, so you come to fool us?"
Liu Xian laughed lightly:
"hings have changed!"
"At that time, the Lord was defeated, his morale was low, and the enemy was prepared, so we attacked and naturally lost! Now the Lord captured Xiapi, traveling to Haixi (western Qinghai Province), and can attack the East China Sea (now the Yellow Sea), the enemy naturally thought that our army's goal is the East China Sea! If our army suddenly attacked at this time, we could definitely capture Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China)! By then, with Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China), the north has the East China Sea (now the Yellow Sea) as a buffer, do not have to worry. When Lu Bu sees our army fighting with Yuan Shu, he will not interfere. He will concentrate on fighting with Zang Ba. After our army captures Guangling, whether we go south or north, we will have a place to build on!"
"Good!"
Liu Bei said with a loud praise:
"Consigliere's words are in line with the art of war!"
Seeing how powerful Liu Xian is, he directly sets the tone for this matter. The ministers heard this, but also could not help but be convinced. This Liu Xian, indeed has some skills!
Guan Yu looked at the map and said in a cold voice with his head held high:
"Since the consigliere wants us to seize Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China), how should we do it? If it's like last time, I'm afraid we'll still lose big!"
Liu Xian heard this and swept his eyes to the map.
Right now the Huai Shui (Huaihe River) front line of the two armies are still facing each other, such as to cross the river directly to attack, to march to Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China) Yuan art has long been well prepared for defense, so certainly can not be forced to cross the. But if you want to attack one city at a time, then the opposite side will also be ready to defend, so in the end how to play it?
The first thing you need to do is to go around and take the city directly.
No, no, this Guangling City (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China) is a big city, high walls, if you want to go straight to take is definitely more difficult, supplies can not keep up, the victory can only be said to be half into, but this battle is his first scheme, naturally, can not be used to gamble. Unless ------
He thought a little, and then his eyebrows spread, a scheme has risen in his heart. He smiled and said:
"To take this Guangling County (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China), in fact, it is not difficult, just lack of brave generals."
"Huh?"
Guan Yu coldly snorted:
"Could it be that the consigliere doesn't see me? "
Liu Xian laughed:
"is not not good enough for general, just this battle to be troops, I do not know whether the general can handle it?"
Guan Yu life most taboo others say he can not, when the cold drink:
"If the consigliere does not believe, I would like to make a military order!"
"Good!"
Liu Xian praised:
"I want you to bypass Shiyang and seize Ping'an within three days! Is that possible?"
Right, Liu Xian came up with the plan is to bypass (today's central Jiangsu coast), but not straight to take, through a small county jumping attack, so that even if the opposite side of the defending army retreated, but also can not catch up with the progress of Liu Bei's army, and finally Guangling (China's Jiangsu Province, Yangzhou City) city in the reception of the army in the help, then this city can be broken!
Guan Yu eyes narrowed and said:
"A small city, why three days, two days can be! However, after capturing Ping'an (now Pingshun County in Shanxi Province), what should we do?"
Liu Xian said:
"After capturing Ping'an, we can put on Yuan Shu's military clothes and take a boat from Gaoyou South to enter Guangling! At that time we attack from the periphery, you take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, suddenly kill out, then Guangling will be down!"
Guan Yu said in a cold voice:
"Since I have made a military order, if I can't take the peace, I will naturally be punished by military law. But if we follow this plan and fail to accomplish it, what should we do?"
Liu Xian heard this, smiled and said:
"If it doesn't work, I will resign as consigliere and leave this place!"
Guan Yu raised both eyebrows and sneered:
"Good, this is what you said!" "If it doesn't work out, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"
