On the tower of Zitong, the autumn wind is blowing coldly.

The cool wind blew on Liu Bei's face, making him feel a little lonely and sentimental.

"It's right..." Liu Bei looked sad, "Some time ago, Prime Minister Zhuge wrote a letter saying that my attack on Wei was to obey the heavens and fight against rebellion. It was his determination and persistence that 'the Han and the traitors are not at odds with each other, and the king's industry is not at peace'."

Kong Ming was stupid and failed to understand my intentions, so he repeatedly tried to dissuade me and regretted it... Kong Ming still wanted to resign from the position of prime minister!"

At this point, Liu Bei paused.

Li Yan also looked a little surprised. He didn't know about this edict.

Liu Bei's words continued, "At that time, I thought that Kong Ming was back. That Kong Ming who was my 'longzhong pair' and dared to deduce the situation of the world in three parts when he was angry, he is back! I am sincerely happy.

, but...now, clouds are flooding Jiangling, and a great victory has shaken China. Even Wei Emperor Cao Yu can't help but feel frightened, and wants to conquer it himself. At this time...Kong Ming sent this letter. This is a

A basin of cold water!"

As Liu Bei spoke, he handed the bamboo slips into Li Yan's hands, and Li Yan unfolded them... The contents can only be described in four words - shocking!

When the Shu Han people were rejoicing about this great victory, Zhuge Liang actually... actually said that when Yun Chang entered Jiangling, he lost the support of the people and was not familiar with the geographical advantages... Not being able to look at each other is a violation of the principles of "The Art of War" of Sun Tzu, heaven, earth, generals and laws!

What else can you say... The front is lengthening, and food supply is facing huge difficulties... And this is not the sharpest thing. The last four words on the bamboo slips are the sharpest - "The clouds are in danger"...

It was these four words that made Li Yan's eyes widen.

Zhuge Liang is so brave!

Liu Bei said that this bamboo slip is a basin of cold water, which is an understatement...

It was a sap... a sap for no reason.

"Kong Ming said that Yun Chang was too arrogant." Liu Bei sighed with emotion... "In a decisive battle with an opponent like Cao Yu, arrogance... this weakness will lead to an irreversible defeat!"

Liu Bei said this with a frown.

Li Yan bit his lip and quickly opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the Prime Minister was too cautious. Ever since he broke into Shu, ever since Cao Yu occupied the territory of the twelve states and usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the Prime Minister has changed

Too cautious... I have lost the courage and courage of the past, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also criticized it... I heard some words, but I didn't dare to say them!"

"It doesn't matter if you just say it!"

"Many courtiers say that the prime minister is as afraid of feathers as tigers." Li Yan said solemnly: "Although the current situation is that Wei is strong and Shu is weak, I also know that soldiers are unpredictable and water is unpredictable...Winning or losing on the battlefield depends on the situation.

The reversal of the situation often happens in an instant, so isn't it the same that Cao Ziyu put himself to death in many battles? If all the ministers in the dynasty are as fearful as the prime minister, then why fight this battle? Just surrender.

never mind!"

hiss…

Although the words are gentle, each word is extremely sharp when connected together.

"Yes..." Liu Bei looked at Li Yan, "If the Prime Minister and Li Shangshu are of the same mind as me, then how can we fear millions of people in the Wei Dynasty? Didn't Emperor Gaozu defeat the arrogant Xiang Yu the same way in the past?

?The great ancestor can go! I can go too!"

Hear this…

A few steps away from Liu Bei and Li Yan, Ma Di, who had planned to report the march plan to Litchi Road, could no longer hold back. He took a few steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, Li Shangshu... The Prime Minister believes that the supply line mentioned in the note must be guarded against!"

Ma Su suddenly opened his mouth, causing Liu Bei to turn his head, and he looked at Ma Su with great contempt.

Liu Bei had never liked this youngest son of the Ma family.

But knowing that he was Zhuge Liang's student, Liu Bei still said patiently, "The clouds are growing like broken bamboos, so I will naturally establish a smooth supply line for him. I have sent Liu Feng, Meng Da, and Mi Fang to Yiling. Liu Feng is in charge."

As for the baggage, Mi Fang is responsible for the food and grass, and Meng Da is responsible for the protection of the supply line. These three are all people I can trust. With them here, I will have no worries!"

"But..." Ma Su said again: "The Prime Minister also mentioned that General Guan was stationed in Jiangling. This place of the Four Battles, Jingnan, Jingbei, Jiangdong... is full of threats. If General Guan insists on going north, what about Jingnan and Jiangdong?

Prevention?"

"Hmph..." Liu Bei snorted coldly, "You are a young horse, are you disturbing the morale of the army? Don't you hear that Zhou Yu has been dismissed by Cao Yu, and the new navy commander is Lu Xun. I heard that Lu Xun was the weakest champion

, such a yellow-haired boy, who only holds a high position because of the identity of Cao Yu's mother clan, what can he do? Yunchang goes north to fight with this Huangkou boy, and a battle can be decided. By then...Jiangdong and Jingnan will naturally

Why should we take precautions when we are frightened by the mighty Yunchang Shenwu descending on the wind?"

Liu Bei spoke firmly...

He has extraordinary confidence in Guan Yu. In his heart, he always insists on this sentence - my second brother is invincible in the world!

And Guan Yu deserves his trust...

According to Guan Yu in official history, when he was stationed in Jingzhou, he almost single-handedly resisted Cao Wei's all-star lineup with a meager force...

Almost all the generals of Cao Wei who could be named... were defeated by him.

It was so terrifying that Cao Cao was so frightened by it that he discussed moving the capital to avoid it.

This can no longer be described by the "God of War", but by the Martial Saint...

As for arrogance...no doubt...Guan Yu has the capital to be absolutely "arrogant".

Of course... Zhuge Liang has always been cautious, and his considerations are more strategic.

"Your Majesty." Ma Di continued to advise: "... Even if General Guan is invincible, there is only one General Guan in Jiangling City. If he goes north... what if Jingnan and Jiangdong attack Jiangling secretly? No matter how powerful General Guan is,

The way back is cut off...and it becomes a lone army. If the lone army goes deep, it is...a big taboo!"

The taboo word "taboo" has not yet escaped my lips.

"Shut up!" Liu Bei scolded coldly.

Li Yan quickly advised: "Lord, calm down, Ma Shenjun just doesn't know the situation."

Li Yan faced Ma Su, "After General Guan captured Jiangling, he built countless beacon towers to the south and east of Jiangling to guard against the invasion of enemies from Jiangdong and Jingnan. If the enemy invaded...the beacon towers would be full of smoke, General Guan would

There is enough time to return reinforcements...Both Ma Canjun and Prime Minister Zhuge are overly worried."

this…

Li Yan's words left Ma Su speechless, and he suddenly didn't know how to continue persuading him.

But obviously, he always felt that Prime Minister Zhuge's worries were justified!

"Your Majesty..." Ma Su spoke again.

Who would have thought that this time, Liu Bei would not give him a chance to reply at all, "In his position, he will do his best. The current commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition is Li Shangshu. Ma Youchang, your task is to assist General Zuo Zilong to enter Hanzhong through the Lychee Road. I

I hope your mind is on the right path!”

this…

Ma Su was completely speechless. He found that...under such circumstances, no matter how much he tried to persuade, the result could no longer be changed.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]

at this time.

"Report..."

A scout hurriedly climbed up the tower and reported: "Jiange came to report that Cao Jun did not set up an ambush on the Shu Road. Their troops retreated to Dingjun Mountain! The commander is Xia Houyuan, and the military advisor is Xun You. It is initially estimated that there are ten Wei troops in Dingjun Mountain."

Thousands of people!”

Well…

Dingjun Mountain?

Subconsciously, Liu Bei and Li Yan narrowed their eyes slightly as they recalled the location of "Dingjun Mountain" on the relevant map.

Why did you choose this place?

Before Liu Bei and Li Yan can figure it out...

The scout's voice came out again, "General Yide and Military Advisor Xiaozhi request a battle!"

As soon as he said this, Li Yan stroked his beard, fixed his eyes, smiled and said with emotion: "Haha... Your Majesty, it seems... after General Guan flooded Jiangling, the generals were high in fighting spirit and morale, so they should work together... Northern Expedition to Cao Wei,

Seize Hanzhong, break Chang'an, and secure Luoyang!"

Liu Bei nodded, pondered for a moment, and then chanted:

——"I wish my third brother and Xiaozhi a triumphant return!"

…

…

Under the thin moon and candlelight, Guan Yu held a copy of "Spring and Autumn" in his hand. He was reading the chapter about King You of Zhou smiling at his concubine and playing with the princes by beacon fire.

The eternally paralyzed face trembled slightly...

Guan Ping on the side filled a cup of tea for his father...

"The night wind in Jiangling is howling, this tea... my father drinks it while it's hot..."

There was a soft voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing his father.

Guan Yu stroked his hands sadly, still holding "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, and asked Guan Ping. "Ping'er... King You of Zhou smiled in praise of Bo, and the beacon fire played with the candlelight, causing the dog army to attack the Western Zhou Dynasty. When the beacon fire broke out again, no one from the princes came to help.

, King You was killed, and the Western Zhou Dynasty ended. From then on, the authority of the Emperor of Zhou plummeted, and the situation of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period where heroes came together and feudal princes fought! "

Speaking of this, Guan Yu paused for a moment and continued: "As a father, I was thinking, what if King You of Zhou didn't play with beacons and candles? Maybe when the Dog Rong attacked, the princes would come to their aid one after another, and the Zhou Dynasty would continue, and there would be no more
