Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Zhao Yun looked aggrieved, and it was obvious that he was helpless about Liu Yu's arrangement.

Liu Yu stood up, took Zhao Yun's hand, walked to the sand table, and said slowly: "Zilong is the bravest of the three armies, and a rare hero in the world. How could I not know this?

The reason why I didn't let you lead the troops to fight is that I have a most important mission to entrust to you."

Zhao Yun turned his worry into joy.

"My lord, just tell me what you want me to do. I am not bragging, but even if I were to charge into Cao's camp single-handedly and take Cao Cao's head, what would I fear?"

"Well, Zilong is a brave man. He can take the head of a general from a million soldiers as easily as taking something out of a bag. This is what a hero like Zilong is like!"

Liu Yu's words were not an unlimited praise for Zhao Yun.

Liu Yu knew clearly how terrifying Zhao Yun was in history.

With Liu Chan's support, this man went in and out of Cao's camp seven times, killing people indiscriminately, causing Cao's soldiers to fall to the ground and their formation to break. Finally, he shouted loudly and left.

Apart from Liu Chan who is qualified to say that he is half a body length ahead of Zhao Yun, no other hero in the world can have such an impressive record!

Zhao Yun was somewhat flattered by Liu Yu's praise. Ever since Gongsun Zan lent him to Liu Yu, Zhao Yun had been following Liu Yu in his campaigns. Judging from his military achievements, Zhao Yun's contributions and reputation were not as good as those of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

He originally thought that Liu Yu had some deviation in his perception of his abilities, but who knew that in the eyes of Uncle Liu, he was actually valued so much.

"It is a great relief to receive such praise from the lord!"

Liu Yu laughed and brought the conversation back to the point. He pointed at the sand table and explained it in detail to Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, please look, Jiange is strategically located and is the easiest to defend but the hardest to attack. I predict that Han Sheng and his main force will be in a stalemate with Cao's army here.

Zilong could take a detour to Jiangyin here, walk along the Gobi Desert for more than 700 miles, launch a surprise attack on Jiangyou, and then go down the river to capture Fucheng.

Once Fucheng is captured, Zilong must not advance lightly, but order his men to defend Fucheng while leading his soldiers to attack Jiange from the rear. By then, with two attacks from both sides, Jiange will surely be captured.

As long as Jiange is breached, the two sides will be able to join forces and attack Mianyang and besiege Chengdu!"

Liu Yu looked at the sand table in front of him and adjusted the plan for Wei's conquest of Shu.

In Liu Yu's eyes, Cao Cao was by no means as weak and incompetent as Liu Chan. Even at this moment, facing the siege of the city led by Zhao Yun, Cao Cao would never surrender easily.

Given Cao Cao's character and wisdom, he will surely resist stubbornly to the end.

Moreover, if the generals from all directions could return to Chengdu in time to provide assistance, Zhao Yun and the soldiers he led would become an isolated force deep in enemy territory.

They had no help on all sides and were surrounded tightly, and there was a great possibility that they would be swallowed up by the Cao army that was surging like a tide.

If things really developed to this point, Liu Yu's carefully planned strategy would not only fail to succeed, but would also alert Cao Cao and successfully arouse his high vigilance. At that time, it would be even more difficult to seize Yizhou.

Because Cao Cao would definitely strengthen the defense, there would be no shortcut to capture Yizhou. The only thing left was to attack each city step by step and honestly.

Therefore, the safest way for Liu Yu at the moment is to break through Jiange first. As long as Jiange is broken, the gate to Yizhou will be completely opened. When the army attacks, there is no need to worry about Chengdu not being destroyed.

Zhao Yun looked at the winding mountain road and a hint of interest appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will be able to lead the soldiers to capture Fucheng."

Liu Yu waved his hand gently, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he slowly said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, don't be so hasty to accept this matter.

Look at this long and narrow sandy road, which is more than 700 miles long! This section of the road is sparsely populated and deserted. Not only that, there are countless high mountains, steep cliffs and dangerous river beaches.

So, Zilong, you must be fully prepared in your heart."

At this point, Liu Yu paused for a moment, his eyes clear and bright, without a trace of impurity.

"To be honest, Zilong, I originally intended to send Han Sheng to carry out this difficult task.

After all, Han Sheng is familiar with the terrain of the mountains and forests, and can definitely provide a lot of help for such a route.

Unfortunately, Han Sheng is now old, and I am really worried that his physical condition will not be able to withstand such hardships and dangers, so I finally decided to send you."

When Zhao Yun heard this, his face remained calm as water, without the slightest fluctuation.

He first bowed slightly to Liu Yu, then responded in a slow and firm voice: "Don't worry, my lord. Although I dare not arrogantly claim that I know everything about the mountains and forests like Han Sheng, I have loved hunting in the mountains since I was a child to supplement my family's livelihood, so I am quite familiar with the mountain and forest environment here.

If it was just a matter of crossing these mountainous areas, it wouldn’t be an insurmountable difficulty for me.”

Liu Yu nodded his head after hearing this, indicating that he agreed with what Zhao Yun said. You know, in today's chaotic world with wars and extreme food shortages, hunting in the mountains has become a necessary skill for almost every adult man.

Even if you may not be able to gain something every time, you will definitely be familiar with the terrain, distribution of vegetation and other conditions in the mountains and forests.

Liu Yu stroked his beard and continued with a smile, "I have sent a message to Shu Zhi to rush from Chang'an to Nanzheng. He leads a total of 500 men, who were specially recruited and trained by Chen Dao when I was in Luoyang.

These soldiers are all brave men. They are not only good at fighting in the mountains and forests, but also have deep experience and skills in how to survive in the mountains and forests for a long time.

When you, Zilong, climb over the towering mountains and steep cliffs, they will surely be your right-hand men."

After hearing Liu Yu's arrangement, Zhao Yun's confidence increased greatly. Zhao Yun had heard of the soldiers under Chen Dao's command. They were originally selected from veteran soldiers who had fought in many battles, and they were also trained by Uncle Liu's unique training method.

Once in Chang'an City, 500 people wiped out 5,000 elite soldiers from Xiliang in the dense forest.

These people also suffered losses in the war, but were quickly replenished by Emperor Liu.
