Chapter 737

Zhang Xiu looked around at the crowd with a solemn look on her face and said: "just received the news from the royal guards, Cao Cao and Liu Bei united to attack Nanyang County directly. In addition, Yuan Shao sent troops from Jizhou and directly attacked Hanoi Prefecture. "

"Today, we are, so to speak, facing the greatest threat."

"In Chang'an, Xu Shu has made a dispatch. The fierce tiger army was led by Ganning, and Jia Xu served as a military adviser. He went north to Hanoi county to resist the attack of Yuan Shao's army. "

Zhang Xiu said: "in addition, Xu Shu has sent 800 Li to Jingzhou to send Huang Zhong from Jiangxia to Xiangyang to resist Cao Cao and Liu Bei who may go south."

The crowd gasped.

The expression on each face was extremely solemn. No one thought that at the crucial time of attacking Yizhou, he was suddenly attacked by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei at the same time.

This is a great pressure for Zhang Xiu.

On the strength of Zhang Xiu alone, it is not difficult to compete with or even defeat Yuan Shao. Similarly, if Zhang Xiu wants to fight Cao Cao alone, she is sure to win. As for the last Liu Bei, it can be ignored.

The three armies are united, but they are different.

For Zhang Xiu, this force is in danger of overturning if she is not careful. We must treat it with caution.

Zhang Xiu looked around the crowd and continued: "the current situation is very dangerous. How do you want to break the enemy? Now, we have no time to go back to Chang'an. Once it is withdrawn from Chang'an, it will be a waste of time and will not help the overall situation. "

Sima Yi and Pang Tong quickly turned their minds and thought about the strategy to break the enemy in the current situation.

Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun, Sha Moke, Zhang Yan, and a Guli all pondered carefully, with a look of incomparable solemnity. Because the current situation is too tense.

Seeing that they were still thinking, Zhang Xiu said, "in view of the fact that Ganning and Jia Xu led the fierce tiger army north to Hanoi County, we don't care about Yuan Shao's attack for the time being. As for Chang'an, there is another Langya camp where Chen arrived, so we don't need to take charge of Chang'an. Now what we have to do is to deal with the war in Nanyang County. "

Chang'an is the base camp, and there must be garrison troops.

Once Chang'an is attacked.

That's more terrible.

Sima Yi thought for a while and said: "the current situation, as the LORD said, focuses on Nanyang County. Huang Zhong will go to Hanoi county. Even if Huang Zhong fails or Hanoi county is lost, there will be delays in Hongnong and other places. If necessary, the Langya camp in Chang'an can be dispatched to help. "

"So what we need to do now is to make a choice between Nanyang County and Yizhou."

"I think there are two choices."

"First, let Cao Cao and Liu Bei capture Nanyang County. Then, let Huang Zhong rely on his own strength to block the alliance of Cao Cao and Liu Bei to the north of Xiangyang and make them trapped in Nanyang County. "

"During this period of time, we took advantage of the situation to attack hard, and went south to pass Jianmen pass, to Chengdu. As long as Chengdu is captured and Liu Zhang is killed, the army can be transferred to Jingzhou. "

"At that time, we will be able to join Huang Zhong's army to resist Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army."

Sima Yi said: "this is a choice. The second choice is our plan to capture Yizhou. We have to put it on hold. Next, we will take Jiameng pass as a base to defend and not go south any more. "

"The main forces rushed north to Hanzhong, from Hanzhong to Nanyang County of Jingzhou. The advantage of this is that we can quickly rescue Nanyang County and not put Nanyang County in danger. "

"It's also flawed."

"This time Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei attacked at the same time. It should be that Liu Zhang arranged for people to ask Cao Cao and others for help, which eventually led to our simultaneous attack."

Sima Yi said: "under such a premise, once we withdraw the soldiers who attacked Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang is likely to organize the army to counter attack. Where we have captured, there may be a crisis. "

After a short pause, Sima Yi said: "however, the humble position suggests that the two evils should be the least. At present, Huang Zhong is in Jingzhou and Gan Ning and Jia Xu are in Hanoi. They can hold on for the time being. The humble position suggests that they drive straight into Chengdu and capture Chengdu. Kill Liu Zhang in Yizhou first, and then consider attacking Jingzhou. "

This is war.

Since it is a war, there must be disputes and choices. Even if the choice is extremely difficult, you have to make a choice.

Sima Yi thinks Yizhou is more important.

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "no, I'm against seizing Yizhou first. If there is no Zhang Ren stationed at Jianmen pass, we can take advantage of the situation to go south and cross the Jinniu Road and Jianmen pass without destroying Liu Ruo and Ling Bao. "

"But now, Zhang Ren is in Jianmen pass, and the terrain is more dangerous and difficult to attack than xiegu pass. Even if Zhang Ren's troops were small, we would not be able to win. "

"Even if we do our best, it will be very difficult and it will take a long time."

"So, it's not worth it."

"The most important thing is that Liu Zhang's ability is weak. Zhang Ren is not valued now. Lingbao and Liu Ruo are killed. If we release tens of thousands of soldiers to go back, Liu Zhang will be in a mess.""Even if Liu Zhang wanted to attack, he was weak and had insufficient fighting capacity."

Pang Tong continued, "Liu Zhang's threat to us is very small. Let's look at Cao Cao and Liu Bei. No matter who you are, you are not good at it. "

"Once Cao Cao and Liu Bei are allowed to seize Nanyang County, or even enter Xiangyang to seize part of Jingzhou, it will be even more unfavorable to our situation."

"Therefore, I am against abandoning Jingzhou and attacking Yizhou."

Pang Tong said in a deep voice: "on the contrary, I think we should postpone the attack on Yizhou, mobilize the main forces, and spare no effort to destroy the coalition forces of Cao Cao and Liu Bei."

Zhang Xiu nodded slightly.

Zhang Xiu agrees with Pang Tong's final analysis.

Liu Zhang's threat is small.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei pose a great threat. Once their strength increases, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhang Yan took the words and said: "Lord, in fact, there are some differences between Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Before that, Cao Cao went all out to attack Liu Bei. He wanted to take Liu Bei down and take control of Yuzhou. "

"Now, Liu Bei follows Cao Cao's advice and attacks Jingzhou with Cao Cao."

"Of course, putting aside the hatred between the Lord and Liu Bei, Liu Bei will go all out to attack Jingzhou. If there are not enough interests, it is certainly impossible."

Zhang said: "so humble bold speculation, Cao Cao certainly promised to Liu Bei benefits, Liu Bei will agree."

"Jingzhou!"

Pang Tong and Sima Yi answered in unison.

When they looked at each other, the light flashed in their eyes, and they understood it immediately.

Zhang xiuhan said: "what you said is that in the case of contradiction between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, if Cao Cao wants Liu Bei to go south, he will promise to give up Jingzhou to Liu Bei. Only in this way can Liu Bei send troops. As for whether Yuzhou, where Liu Bei lived, should be handed over to Cao Cao, it is not known. This situation is difficult to judge. "

"My Lord is wise!"

Pang Tong and Sima Yi spoke together.

Zhang Xiu had made a decision in her heart. She no longer asked the people, saying: "Cao Cao and Liu Bei led the army to Nanyang County. We really need to make a plan to deal with it."

"But we can't afford to lose the other."

"In Yizhou, we should stick to it. Today, Liu Zhang's forces are almost crippled. Even if he counterattacks, his strength is weak, so we must keep the territory we have now. "

Zhang xiudao said: "led by Zhang Ya, 20000 regular troops and 20000 flying Qiang troops will stay in Jiameng pass and strive to continue to go south. Pang Tong stayed and helped Zhang Yan to capture Yizhou. "

"Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong, shamoke and Zhang Yan's 20000 Heishan troops retreated with their officers and went north to Hanzhong. Then, we went to Shangyong County in Hanzhong and went east to Nanyang County. "

Zhang Xiu said: "today, most of Nanyang County is still in our hands. It should not be difficult to enter."

"I'll do it

All of us should go down together.

One by one, they all cheer up.

Zhang Xiu called Wang Yue and ordered him to arrange for the next war. After arranging everything, Zhang Xiu stopped staying and immediately mobilized her troops to leave Jiameng pass and head north for Hanzhong.
