The Three Kingdoms

Sun Quan thought for a while: "Although he has not achieved the planned strategy, there is one thing that none of you can deny. He performed very well in this battle. He managed to block Zhang Ren for two days with an empty strategy. Which of you can do it?"

"This battle can be included in the textbook!"

"The defeat at the White Horse Pass is not a crime!"

When the generals heard this, they quickly shook their heads. If it was someone else, they could try the empty city strategy, but facing Zhang Ren, a tough attacking general, it is a hundred times more difficult to use the empty city strategy to scare them.

Even if it is Zhou Yu, he doesn't necessarily think that he can achieve this situation under empathy.

Although the White Horse Pass was breached.

But Zhuge Liang handed in a very satisfactory answer sheet, at least in Sun Quan's view, this answer sheet is qualified.

"My imperial decree states that the warlord Zhuge Liang is not going well in this battle, and his crimes should be punished. Since the battle is imminent, it is not appropriate to shake the morale of the army. He is ordered to continue to supervise the army. I will be given a token to come to me in person, and I will have the right to temporarily control the two major armies of the Bashu War Elephant. If you win, you will be rewarded, if you lose, all crimes will be punished together!"

Sun Quan wanted to open a skylight for Zhuge Liang. Some of the reasons for the defeat in this battle were Zhuge Liang's restraint. Since he was sent to the front line, he should be given enough right to deploy troops.

"promise!"

One person quickly passed on the drafting of the imperial decree.

"Your Majesty, are you pampering him too much?" Zhou Yu frowned.

"Gongjin, you want the horse to run, but you don't give the horse grass, can he run?" Sun Quan said: "Although Zhuge Liang has talent, but if you want him to show his talent, he needs encouragement and a stage to show his talent." ,Indispensable!"

"Wei Chen understands!"

Zhou Yu smiled and said.

Sun Quan is incomparable in terms of employing people, which is why he is a king, and he is just a minister of the staff.

After the meeting in the Military Machine Pavilion, Sun Quan called Cheng Pu and Zhou Yu into the imperial study.

"Here is a plan to change the sky submitted by Jin Yiwei, please take a closer look!"

Sun Quan handed a top-secret plan to the two.

"Wuguan?"

The two took the plan and looked at the contents carefully. The content on it made the two of them horrified, and their pupils shrank slightly.

"Your Majesty, is Governor Li confident?" Zhou Yu asked after a while.

"He has personally rushed to Wuguan!"

Sun Quan thought for a while: "The chances of this plan's success are not high, but if it succeeds, it will be very beneficial for our Great Wu to enter Guanzhong in the future. It will be like a flat river, so Jin Yiwei decided to fight!"

"It is!"

Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed into a straight line, and the light was sharp: "The benefits are great, but the risks are also great!"

"Your Majesty showed us this plan because it needs the support of Nanyang's soldiers and horses!" Cheng Pu narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.

"That's right!"

Sun Quan nodded: "I originally wanted to keep it absolutely secret. After all, if one more person knows about this plan, the risk will be higher. But once Wuguan is successfully changed, we need to take control of Wuguan immediately and take this gap to enter the pass. , This cannot be done without the support of military soldiers and horses!"

"I can order Nanyang's Eighth Army to go north beyond Wuguan!"

Cheng Pu thought for a while and said.

"When deploying troops, you must do the opposite, try to keep it secret, and don't reveal any clues!" Sun Quan instructed.

"Yes!"

The two nodded and accepted the order. Zhou Yu thought for a while, and there was a touch of resolution in his expression, and said: "I will go to Nanyang in person, and cooperate with Li Dadu of Wuguan to win Wuguan as much as possible!"

"With you personally dispatching troops, I feel relieved!" Sun Quan said with a smile. (To be continued.)

[Text 140 Chapter [-] Wuguan Chaos [-]]

Wuguan, surrounded by mountains and rivers, is full of dangers and obstacles.Please read the most complete!

This is a pass that defends the land in Guanzhong. It was called "Shaoxi Pass" in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was also known as the Sanqin Fortress.

"Wuguan closes Qinzhong with one hand, and the Xiangyun, Jianghuai and Huaihe roads are blocked."

This is the description of Wuguan by later generations.

It means that between Guanzhong and Xiangdi, as long as Wuguan is closed, it means that the connection is cut off and the road is impassable.

The pass city of this pass stands tall, built on a relatively flat plateau among the canyons, with the steep Shaoxi Mountain in the north and the dangerous point in the south.

Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists.

Since the end of the Guandong War between the two overlords of Wu and Wei, Zhang Xiu naturally couldn't stay in Nanyang anymore. He led the Nanyang soldiers and horses, withdrew from the land of Nanyang, and retreated to Wuguan to defend. Wu Jun invaded.

His tens of thousands of troops guarded Wuguan, which was as strong as an iron bucket, which became an insurmountable difficulty for Wu Jun.

On the wall of today's Guancheng, with black dragon battle flags flying one after another, soldiers wearing Wei army armor are patrolling back and forth. These soldiers are all elite under Zhang Xiu's command, and they are very vigilant about the movement in the distance of the city pass.

On this day, under the cold winter, white snow was flying.

The night gradually descended, and it was quiet, and the chill increased by three points, making people feel shuddering.

Within Guancheng.

The residence of General Zuo Yangwei.

Zhang Xiu knelt and sat in the study with some exhaustion, looking at the papers in his hands, his face was gloomy: "Damn, the imperial court only pays [-]% of the food, armor and weapons I applied for. What does this mean?"

He thought about it for a long time, and a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he muttered to himself: "Could it be that because I don't have Nanyang to rely on, the court thinks that I am no longer worth anything. Is this a plan to take back a certain family's military power?"

Now that he lost the land of Nanyang, Zhang Xiu lost his ability to support the soldiers and horses under his command.

When the supply could only rely on the support of the imperial court, Zhang Xiu naturally lost control of this army.

The imperial court will do nothing, as long as they cut off his food and grass, he will have nothing to do.

Does he still want to take his children on an empty stomach?

But he was not reconciled to letting him hand over military power in this way.

He, Zhang Xiu, was born in troubled times, fought all the way from the south to the north, and was a prince and king. He was also defeated and had to surrender, but he always knew one thing very well in his heart, only when he controlled the military power could he have the ability to speak.

Once he loses his military power, his life is not in his own control. Whenever the court wants to crush him, he can crush him to death.

But if he doesn't hand over his military power, he can't solve this matter.
