Chapter 378
Ma Chao gave different opinions. Guan Yu didn't have much expression on his face. Under Liu Bei's command, Ma Chao's right to speak has never been low. This speech seems to explain something.

"Tell me what you think, Meng Qi." Liu Bei still didn't say what he thought, and asked Ma Chao again.

After all, Ma Chao didn't seem to give any good reasons other than to put forward his opinions.

However, Ma Chao also came prepared, and he came forward confidently, first looked around slightly, and then said: "As the saying goes, one effort, then decline, three exhaustion, our army wants to rest , I want to pick a better target to deal with, but don't forget, Wang Ye is not partial to peace. Now we are recuperating, and the enemy is also recuperating. Liangzhou will not be of much help in five years, but needs food and grass supply. Yongzhou is also In this way, we are still relying on the old foundation. In this case, even if we recuperate for five years, there is no way to compare with the potential of the wealthy states in the Central Plains. At that time, the gap will be even greater. After all, we are now mainly military. We are relatively disadvantaged in terms of population and territory. You have to give full play to your advantages, you must face up to difficulties, and you must not be afraid!"

The officials were surprised. If these words came from Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others, everyone would not be surprised, but these words came from a general!Everyone was shocked!
Not everyone has the opportunity to speak out, and some people, even if they have the opportunity, cannot speak out!
It doesn't look like someone over there who can think about these things. How can a person who is purely supremacy of force think so many things? In their conception, force solves everything, and other things don't need to think too much. can know things.

It has to be said that Ma Chao's words were on point, and Liu Bei was obviously moved and felt moved by persuasion, but even so, Liu Bei still didn't speak.

"Southern Expedition!" Huang Zhong, this late blooming general, also expressed his own views at this moment.

"How to say?" Liu Bei asked again.

"Most of our soldiers come from Jingzhou, Yizhou and other southern places. Although Meng Qi's cavalry is strong now, it is smaller in scale. After taking Liangzhou, our army can form cavalry and train slowly. At the same time, the direction of the army's attack is South. Everyone should know that Sun Quan has been attacking Shanyue continuously, recruiting young and strong soldiers to expand our strength. Our army can also use the south as a place to increase our strength. When the army is sufficient, we can attack the Central Plains. At that time, wouldn’t it be beautiful!” Huang Zhong's voice was resonant, and as soon as he finished speaking, there were not a few people who nodded to show that they made sense.

On the other side, the civil servants present also expressed their views one after another. Fazheng meant the Northern Expedition, following the path of Gaozu back then.

Xu Shu believes that the current form of the world is very different from that of the late Qin and early Han Dynasties, and the biggest difference lies in the three major forces.Sun Quan is not as easy to deal with as he imagined, and if he underestimates Sun Quan, it may be another defeat in Chibi.

The best way is to wait for the opportunity to go to the Northern Expedition!
As for Pang Tong, he still did not speak.

In the end, even Zhao Yun spoke, and he also felt that the Northern Expedition should be made.

The entire conference hall supports one of these two types, the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition.

"Quiet!" Liu Bei said suddenly, and the discussion fell silent.

"Shi Yuan, what do you think?" Liu Bei turned his head to look at Pang Tong, and then asked.

"Actually, our current strategy has always been based on the Longzhong pair proposed by Kong Ming. Although there have been some changes, such as the loss of Jingzhou, we have successfully completed two of the three steps. We have won Jingzhou and Yizhou successively. , Although Jingzhou is lost, the strategy of the two-way Northern Expedition is useless, but we have still completed the beginning of the most difficult third step, the Northern Expedition! Occupying Chang'an is not easy, do we still need to worry about the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition?"

"Pang Tong's words hit the nail on the head! We've been busy for so long, so why bother everyone!" Zhang Fei, who hadn't spoken all this time, stood up to support Pang Tong's statement.

"But so, what are we going to do next?" Huang Zhong was indeed impatient, and he asked what many people wanted to ask.

"Northern Expedition, the best way for us to do now is to take a break and continue fighting. Although this seems a bit militaristic, it is not the case in reality. How can we not be taken advantage of by third-party forces? The only way is to seek a decisive battle, and completely wipe out the main force of the enemy army in one or several large battles, so that the Northland can be quickly digested and not be taken advantage of!" Zhang Fei said directly without tantalizing.

In the current situation, what he said is very straightforward, that is, he must gather all the power before, all the power of Xichuan to deal with Cao Cao who captured Hanzhong, and now he must gather all the power under his command, not to worry about those who have appeared. Hidden dangers, try to appease, go all out for the Northern Expedition.This is the most correct!

After hearing what Pang Tong said, everyone was still a little bit entangled, and wanted to say that the situation has changed now, but Zhang Fei came out and explained, and everyone really stopped entangled in these things, yes, there are so many enemies, the main enemy and Secondary enemies need to be cleared up.

Everyone no longer entangled, but figured out some things and stopped talking.

"In fact, the next thing we have to consider is when to send troops and where to attack from. This is what we should prepare for." Zhang Fei said with a smile.

. . . . .

In a discussion, everyone has not yet discussed the specific details, but they did explain the overall situation and general direction very clearly.

Everyone put away their small thoughts. At this time, Liu Bei thought deeply. If he really did what Gaozu did in the past and took the road of unifying the world again, then he would be the most suitable to be in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, no? The other person was Zhang Fei.

Guan Yu is suitable to be a commander-in-chief and will be a famous general in the world, but he is not suitable to be a general. He attaches great importance to soldiers and despises officials. Such Guan Yu cannot coordinate all parties and cannot see the overall situation clearly!Great ability, but really shortcomings.

Zhang Fei didn't have much expression on his face. He didn't want to speak at first, but he felt that the atmosphere of the entire scene was indeed very subtle. It had gradually turned from discussion to quarrel, which was very unusual.

It stands to reason that if the political opinions are different during general discussions, it is normal to quarrel, but it really shouldn't be the case when it comes to the general direction of future development.

After weighing the pros and cons, some people start to question the fundamental question of the best development direction for the forces, and start to disagree for their own true thoughts. This is not a good thing, and it will even bury a serious hidden danger .

No matter how you put it, this is not good.

I hope my speech is useful, Zhang Fei said with a sigh.
