The Three Kingdoms

"Isn't this the same as dragging the strength of our Bashu two legions into the war of attrition in Xiliang?"

"For the defeat of this battle, Zhuge Liang, as the imperial military governor, must be responsible!"

"If you don't know how to attack and defend, how can you be undefeated in this battle!"

"Now that Maguan has been burned by the Wei army, all the food and military equipment we have accumulated is gone, leaving our army with no guarantee of logistics. I am afraid that this battle will be delayed into the next year!"

Facing the battle report from the west, all the generals spoke one after another, expressing their opinions, some worried about the frontline, some made conclusions after the fact, and some were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to punish the frontline generals...

The whole scene appeared to be a mess.

Sun Quan, the great emperor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, was wearing a blue and white brocade robe with dragon patterns and a jade crown on his head. His face was like a jade crown, and his face was calm. He sat at the top of the conference table, listening to the speeches of the ministers, just quietly closed his eyes and meditated.

The defeat of Wudu in this battle was somewhat beyond his expectation.

He did not expect that Zhuge Liang would be tricked by Sima Yi and Zhang Ren.

But Zhuge Liang played well in the empty city of Baimaguan.

The number one strategist in the history of the Three Kingdoms has now begun to gradually reveal his majesty. He is at a disadvantage, and with [-] soldiers and horses, he frightened the [-] elites led by the titan Zhang Ren himself. Reversal, otherwise the result of today's battle may be even worse.

Sun Quan pondered in his mind, if he continued to be given time and space, would he be able to grow like a historical achievement.

He is so wise that he is almost a monster, and he has no plans. This is Zhuge Liang in his true state.

But in order to grow to this level, one must have the exhaustion of a master. Since ancient times, there has never been a military god behind closed doors.

"I think that since this battle is unfavorable, we should stop, rest, and fight again in the future!"

Someone suddenly suggested.

This proposal made many military ministers agree.

You know, this year's Battle of Kanto has consumed the vitality of the entire Great Wu Dynasty, and it has reached the point where it is necessary to use the people's foundation. It will not be able to recover in a few years, and now the battle of Wudu is already biting The teeth are sticking out.

But it didn't get the expected effect.

It is normal for someone to want to stop and rest.

"Capturing Wudu is considered a small feat, and I think this battle will stop here!" A minister seconded: "We should take a good rest, and it will not be too late to fight again!"

"Absurd, for this battle, we spent a lot of money, and even the White Horse Pass was burned. If we can't reach the strategic goal, wouldn't it mean that our army is incompetent? Our goal is Xiliang, and we must not stop at Wudu. This battle must Hit it!" Someone objected.

"Go on, what do you use to fight!"

Someone retorted: "Can the Logistics Department gather so much food, grass and armaments at once? Or do you think the Bashu Governor's Mansion will support us without hesitation?"

The military suffered a defeat at this time, and there is no doubt that the cabinet will rebound.

The cabinet had already disagreed with this battle before. It was the Bashu Governor’s Mansion’s support for the military. Even if the cabinet suffered a dumb loss, but now that the cabinet has the handle, even if it can’t stop this battle, it will at least break the Bashu Governor’s Mansion. Support for the military.

"Stop? Continue to fight?"

At this moment, Cheng Pu, the leader of the military aircraft, also had a gloomy and uncertain face, and his eyes were flickering with struggling light.

He understands the real situation of this battle better than everyone who is doing it. He has already fought to this point. He does not mean to stop when he stops. In the situation where riding a tiger is hard to get off, if he does not insist on fighting, how can the two legions of Bashu and Zhanxiang give up? .

The most important thing is Xiliang, which is already an indispensable first mover to conquer Guanzhong when going to Liangzhou.

"His Majesty!"

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan with his eyes closed and meditating, and said in a low voice: "I think Zhuge Liang can make up for his mistakes. This battle must go on until we win Xiliang!"

"Don't you disagree with this battle?"

Sun Quan opened his eyes, and the amber eyes looked at Zhou Yu's handsome face in surprise.

"One moment, another moment!"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and said frankly: "I disagreed at first, but now that they are fighting, if they are timid at this time, unable to advance or retreat, wouldn't it be a loss of our Wu army's invincible momentum? "

"Ju Yi, tell me!"

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he looked at the burly warrior Ju Yi sitting on the left.

"Your Majesty, I also think that this battle must continue!"

Ju Yi, commander of the Central Army Corps, heard the words, calculated in his mind, and then said: "Liangzhou must be captured. Only by taking Liangzhou, can we attack Guanzhong without any scruples in the future. And now they are not defeated. Strategic failure, adjust strategy, there is still one battle!"

"Adjust the strategy, there is still one battle!"

When the generals heard this, their hearts couldn't help trembling.

This sentence actually explains a situation of the current battle in the west.

In the final analysis, they thought that it was too simple. They wanted to rely on a pre-emptive attack to attack and fight, and wishful thinking wanted them to swallow the [-] main force of the Wei army in one go. This is not easy.

So it is natural to fail.

However, they were not defeated on the frontal battlefield. This battle can still be fought, and they still have a chance to capture Liangzhou, and they may even annihilate this Wei army.

"Cheng Pu!"

Sun Quan's last eyes fell on the old and steady military chief beside him.

"His Majesty!"

Cheng Pu considered it for a while, and his face became firm: "Weichen believes that this battle must be fought. One thing Commander Ju Yi said is very good, Liangzhou must be captured. This is a grand strategy that cannot be changed. I believe that the Bashu Army If the Zhanxiang Army can take Xiliang, they can destroy this Wei army!"

"it is good!"

Sun Quan nodded in satisfaction. Cheng Pu's calmness did not mean that he lost his vigor: "Since this is the case, when it comes from Chen to Xu Sheng, they can continue to fight this battle. As for the logistics of food and grass, there are cabinet checks and balances. The Bashu Governor's Mansion will definitely not Once it’s out, we can only watch the operation of the logistics department!”

The cabinet is not holding back, they have their own considerations.

In the final analysis, the division of labor between them is different, and naturally the angles of consideration are also different.

Military officers and soldiers are to open up territories, and cabinet officials are to secure the territory and the people.

You can't let the cabinet use them to appease the people. The boss who governs the place originally supports your military to start a war, which is tantamount to militarism.

So in this regard, Sun Quan could not force the cabinet to support it.

"Yes!"

The director of the logistics department didn't shirk his move. It was a matter of the great war to unify the world, and the ministers in the military aircraft department were still very united.

"As for Zhuge Liang!"
