At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Thinking that his "first confrontation" with Pang Tong ended in victory, Liu Zhang became inexplicably excited.

It's a pity that Xun You smiled and shook his head, causing Liu Zhang's smile to freeze on his face.

"My lord, didn't I just say that? It's actually a matter of priority."

"If Guanzhong is the primary goal, after the development of Guanzhong is completed, it can not only be used to attack Yongliang, but also quickly turn around and attack Sili."

"If we take Yongliang as the primary goal, we will need a long recovery time before attacking Guanzhong after we capture it."

"The difference between the two lies in whether the protagonist wants to develop the Guanzhong first, or develop the Guanzhong later."

Liu Zhang now understood what Xun You meant. Generally speaking, managing Guanzhong is an absolutely indispensable link.

"Zi Yang, what do you mean?"

Seeing the strategist Liu Ye sitting aside thoughtfully, Liu Zhang hurriedly asked his opinion.

Liu Ye quickly stood up, he did have some ideas.

"My lord, what Junjun Xun said is very true. It's just that we also need to consider external factors."

"If we send troops to Guanzhong first, will it deter Cao Cao in the Central Plains? Will he have to disperse his not-so-rich troops to guard against us?"

"If that's the case, it's equivalent to breaking the balance of the battle of Guandu invisibly. If the lord wants Yuan Shao to win, then I suggest sending troops to Guanzhong. If the lord doesn't want Yuan Shao to win, then I suggest sending troops to Yongliang."

Liu Ye talked for a long time, but in Liu Zhang's view, he almost didn't say anything, and left the decision to him.

But Liu Zhang didn't want to, and couldn't let Yuan Shao win the battle of Guandu.

Yuan Shao lost at Guandu, and he was able to resist Cao Cao for eight years on the basis of the Yuan family. This was because of the internal strife between Yuan Shao's sons.

But once Cao Cao loses, then 100,000 yuan soldiers cross the Yellow River and pour into Yanzhou and Yuzhou. I am afraid that Cao Cao will perish before he can hold on for long!

This is obviously not in line with Liu Zhang's strategic thinking. Only the chaos in the Central Plains and Hebei can make him develop with peace of mind.

"Zijing, tell me what you think."

Lu Su, who first proposed the plan to divide the world into two, must have unique insights. Liu Zhang is going to make a decision immediately after getting Lu Su's opinion.

Lu Su has always been an image of a good old man. He bowed his hands to everyone, especially Xun You, Liu Ye, and Pang Tong, who were extremely kind.

"My lord, do you think we underestimate Han Sui and Ma Teng too much?"

"Han Sui, Ma Teng occupies the land of Liangzhou, and has a strong relationship with the surrounding Qiang and Hu. Once united, there may be no less than 200,000 troops!"

"Now that the two sides haven't fought yet, our general doesn't take the enemy seriously, let alone our soldiers?"

"It is necessary to know that victory cannot be arrogant, and arrogant soldiers are always bound to lose! Please think twice, my lord."

Lu Su's words awakened Liu Zhang like a revelation, and even made him feel a little scared.

Yes, I don't know when, I have completely ignored the Liangzhou warlords.

Liu Zhang stood up and looked at everyone with a very serious expression.

"Everyone, Zijing is right! Maybe it's the victories in the battle of Liangzhou that made us underestimate the enemy. It takes all our strength to fight a lion against a rabbit. An embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest!"

"From today onwards, none of us should treat our enemies with contempt, and we must treat them as powerful enemies!"

All the generals in the tent stood up, and their expressions became extremely serious.

"Follow my lord's orders!"

After some exhortations from Lu Su, the atmosphere in the army changed instantly, and the look of contempt disappeared from anyone's face.

"Zijing, in the future, if you feel that there is anything wrong, you must bring it up in time! You must not waste the lives of the soldiers under your command just because of our carelessness!"

Lu Su's heart was full of relief. It is really rare for a master who can listen to persuasion like this.

If it was Yuan Shao, he would have already arrested Lu Su in the name of confusing the army!

"I obey! My lord is so wise, this Northern Expedition will surely defeat the enemy!"

Lu Su was not flattering without grounds. With the current strength of the army, coupled with the resourcefulness of Xun You and the other four, and such a wise monarch, if he still can't win, how strong is the enemy?

Obviously, Han Sui and Ma Teng are not too powerful enemies to match.

Liu Zhang also believed in the victory of this battle, but in order to breed pride, he just nodded slightly.

"Zijing, tell me what you think!"

"My lord, I support Qishan Road to attack Hanyang County."

However, Lu Su did not give Liu Zhang the right to choose like Xun You and Liu Ye did, but expressed his views directly and decisively.

"Tell me your reasons."

Liu Zhang was very excited when he got Lu Su's support.

"My lord, Han Sui is deep-minded and cunning. Once he is given time to react, he will definitely choose to let go of his face and unite with Ma Teng again. Although Ma Teng has a lot of hatred with Han Sui, he will definitely worry about Han Sui's destruction. Afterwards, it is difficult to support alone. Therefore, the chances of the combination of the two are very high.”

"Now we should lead our army into Liangzhou while the two thieves are still suspicious of each other! The first goal is to gain a foothold and provide guarantee for our follow-up operations. If things go well, we can even kill Han before Ma Teng makes up his mind." Then it was completely destroyed!"

Lu Su's thinking highlights a strategy, the speed of the army is precious.

Now that the 100,000 troops are heading north to Hanzhong, I believe that the news has already spread like wildfire, and the more procrastinated, the more prone to accidents.

What's more, the consumption of one hundred thousand troops a day is completely piled up with food!

"Shiyuan, what do you think?"

Liu Zhang really wanted to directly announce the order to send troops, but considering that Pang Tong had just joined, he was full of enthusiasm to offer advice for himself. Liu Zhang still decided to look at Pang Tong's thoughts again.

"My lord, I didn't think well before, but now I have heard the analysis of the three military advisers, and I have a deep understanding of the disadvantages of sending troops!"

Pang Tong bowed his hands to the three of Xun You to thank them, and finally looked at Liu Zhang.

"I also feel that sending troops to Qi Shan is the best strategy at present!"

Judging from Pang Tong's clear eyes, one can tell that he definitely did not say this out of will.

Liu Zhang felt relieved, after all, it was the little Phoenix from Jingzhou, not the narrow-minded person!

"Since everyone's opinions are unified, the whole army will go out tomorrow, targeting Hanyang County!"

All the generals stood up and waited for Liu Zhang's order.

"Zhang Ren!"

Unexpectedly, he was the first to be called, so Zhang Ren hurried out of the queue.

"The end is here!"

"I ordered you to lead the soldiers and horses under your command to attack Dashan Pass from Chen Cang Road, and then occupy Chen Cang, and block all the soldiers and horses in the pass from Chen Cang!"

Unexpectedly, he would not have the chance to attack Liangzhou. Zhang Ren's eyes were obviously lonely, but his excellent military qualities still made him immediately surrender.

"The general obeys orders!"
