The Lu family at the end of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 172
"Sir, I heard that Lu Bu and Zhang Lu are calling, what should we do?"

In Chengdu, when he learned that Lu Bu's soldiers were divided into two groups, and then he joined forces with Zhang Lu, who had murdered his mother, to attack them in Yizhou.

The situation is very urgent. No matter which route the army is on, as long as they enter Yizhou, it will not be a good thing for Liu Zhang.

Originally, Liu Zhang had many capable people under his command, such as Wen Youfazheng, Huang Quan, etc., but Liu Zhang didn't listen to those people very much.

The four heroes of Wushu - Zhang Ren, Deng Xian, Leng Bao and Liu Fen.

Those four are his confidants.

So Liu Zhang also summoned them.

But here only Pang Tong is a counselor, so he should ask Pang Tong's opinion first.

"Zhou Mu, if Lu Bu wants to attack Yizhou, he has to come from Wu County. He may start from two routes. The Zhou Mu can send him to garrison Ba County, and then send a capable general to garrison Wu Gorge. The danger of Wu Gorge will definitely make Lu Bu's navy return without success, and Ba County is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as he can't hold on, Lu Bu has nothing to do. Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was obviously used by Lu Bu as a spear. Send troops to attack Jiameng Pass, but the internal defense must be empty, and Lu Bu will take the opportunity to take it, so that road is the most important, I think that only General Zhang Ren goes to guard Jiameng Pass, and the state shepherd can be safe."

Pang Tong is Liu Zhang's serious analyst.

"Well, Zhang Ren, you will lead [-] troops to guard Jiameng Pass, Leng Bao and Deng Xian will accompany you, and Liu Gui will go to Wu Gorge, and Bajun will continue to let Yan Yan guard it!"

Liu Zhang thought for a while, had an idea in his mind, and quickly arranged everything.

"Yes!"

All the four outstanding figures in Shu followed the order and came down.

…………

Further to Xiliang, Ma Teng, one of the two great princes of Xiliang, recently recruited a counselor-Zhuge Liang.

It is said that he came from Jingzhou and was very famous in Jingzhou.

Ma Teng immediately regarded him as a guest of honor.

This made his son, Ma Chao, very upset!
Because Ma Teng asked him to study well with Zhuge Liang, he should treat Zhuge Liang politely.

Ma Chao was originally a hot tempered person, how could he be polite to a literati.

He only advocates force!

"Haha, sir, now Yuan Shao is fighting Cao Cao, and Lu Bu is fighting Liu Zhang, so shouldn't we do something?"

During a meeting, Ma Chao began to make things difficult for Zhuge Liang.

He wanted to see if Zhuge Liang was really as capable as his father said.

If he finds out that Zhuge Liang is just trying to catch fame, he won't spare him!
"General Shoucheng has a few things to do now. One is to attack Chang'an, occupy Sili, and then wait for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to decide the outcome, and finally seek benefits for himself. I am going out of the Chencang alley to attack Hanzhong. Now Zhang Luhe in Hanzhong Liu Zhang fought fiercely, Hanzhong was empty, if the general went there, he could easily occupy Hanzhong, but he would have to fight Lu Bu, because Lu Bu also liked Hanzhong, and the third is when Lu Bu occupied Hanzhong, and then led his army to attack Yizhou. Attack Hanzhong from Yangping Pass openly, and then unite with Liu Zhang to trap Lu Bu to death in Yizhou, and finally use Hanzhong as a springboard to plot Nanyang and separate the Sili!"

Zhuge Liang provided Ma Teng with three strategies: up, down, and middle!

Ma Chao was immediately dumbfounded, unable to say a word.

After he heard Zhuge Liang's three strategies, he was really speechless.

In his heart, he very much hoped that his father would choose the second option, because he wanted to fight Lu Bu, a military general who had been famous for a long time and had been number one in the world for a long time.

Unlike Ma Chao, Ma Teng put his eyes on it and thought he had found a treasure.

He has always hoped that he can have another counselor to share his worries, but in Liangzhou, a barren land, there are not many literati, let alone counselors.

The only advisers are Jia Xu and Li Ru, and Cheng Gongying with his righteous brother Han Sui.

He has none!

Now, he finally has another one, which can make up for his shortcomings.

"Chang'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It may be difficult to take him down. Chencang has been abandoned for many years, and the road is too difficult to walk. This strategy is not advisable. We should wait until Lu Bu cleans up Zhang Lu and attack Yizhou with all his strength. Attack Hanzhong!"

Ma Teng is not stupid, he knows that there will not be much left after taking Chang'an with his [-] to [-] troops, and the gain outweighs the loss, and although it is possible to go to Chencang, but after occupying Hanzhong and fighting with Lu Bu's main force, then he losses will be greater.

He didn't want that, so he chose the third option.

For Ma Teng's choice, Zhuge Liang was also expected.

While not the best move, it's not the worst either.

In Zhuge Liang's view, among his three strategies, attacking Chang'an is the safest.

You can fight together with Zhang He, and it will be much easier to win Chang'an that way.

With Chang'an as a barrier, there is a chance to dominate.

Ma Teng didn't choose to do that, and he had no choice.

After all, the best master in his mind is not Ma Teng, so he doesn't need to do so much for Ma Teng.

"Can!"

Zhuge Liang said this lightly and didn't say anything more.

…………

Now almost every prince has participated in the war, and there are only Gongsundu who cut the station in Liaodong, and Han Sui, another prince from Xiliang.

However, looking at that guy Han Sui, he will not be a law-abiding master, and will definitely do some small tricks.

Apart from the two of them, only Sun Ce was left.

However, how could Lu Yi make it easier for Sun Ce and let him be that fisherman?

Therefore, he immediately dispatched [-] soldiers, gathered in Jiangxia, and planned to kill Sun Ce from Jiangxia.Jia Xu, a poisonous man, accompanied him.

At the same time, Xu Shu was asked to take Chen Dao and Ji Ling to set off from Changsha to attack Yuzhang County.

The two armies set off together, let's see how Zhou Yu responds!

After all, as long as Yangzhou is occupied, it is equivalent to occupying the front line of the Yangtze River!
That is the real danger of occupying the Yangtze River.

If Jiang Xia hadn't fallen back then, the Battle of Chibi would not have been possible.

Then there is no such thing as a three-legged confrontation.

It can be seen that the natural danger of the Yangtze River is really good.

And Jiang Xia is that springboard!

But before Lu Yi started to attack, they got a piece of news.

Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, is dead!
Was assassinated and died.

One year earlier than the death of Sun Ce in history.But he also died during the Battle of Guandu.

Sun Ce's good friend Zhou Yu led his troops back to Wanling immediately after Sun Ce's death, and supported Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan as the commander of Jiangdong.

"Great! Lord, it seems that we can capture Jiangxia soon?"

After Jia Xu got the news, he immediately clapped his hands and cheered!
It seems that God really wants to help them occupy Yangzhou!

"Mr. Wen He, do you mean to provoke the relationship between Sun Quan and his nephew Sun Shao, causing Sun Ce's loyalists and Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to fight each other? Let's be that fisherman?"

Lu Yi immediately expressed what Jia Xu was thinking.

"My lord is wise!"

Jia Xu was very surprised in his heart, and he didn't expect that Lu Yi would go to the same place with him.

It seems that he still underestimated Lu Yi!

Lu Yi smiled slightly and didn't say much.The words are still good.

No matter what he said, he couldn't beat this smart man like Jia Xu to a pulp, and no matter what he said, he had to save him some face.

He knew exactly what kind of person Sun Quan was.
