Chapter 707: The Yizhou Conspiracy

In fact, there are many opportunities for them to rise up. They are so lucky that they have firmly grasped every opportunity, which is why they have such a situation now.

"My lord, now that Liu Zhang is weak, and now that Liu Yan is also dying of illness, it is still very difficult to break through in the whole of Yangzhou, so in the next year, there should be no major wars, so I think , this Nanman must be won over."

Xi Zhicai first expressed his thoughts, and he had a little discussion with Guo Jia in the past few days, and finally came to a conclusion, Xi Zhicai is really a great talent.

So the current Xi Zhicai actually worships Qin Shuo very much from the bottom of his heart, maybe this is because he really met someone who convinced him.

In fact, when Xi Zhicai was Qin Shuo's chief counselor at the beginning, Qin Shuo's side, no matter whether they were civil servants or generals, were actually not many in number, but now it has completely changed.

"This Nanman itself is a place that must be contested by military strategists. I know what my lord is thinking. Since my lord has the idea of ​​fighting for world hegemony, then this place must be taken down. If you enter, you can take Yizhou, if you retreat, you can occupy Jiaozhou, and you can wait until later. When the foreign enemy attacks, it is able to block the foreign enemy at the door."

Guo Jia is also analyzing at this time

Dao, it seems that I have already thought about it before.

"Actually, it's not just like this. There is another point that this place itself belongs to the barbarians. They will rebel sooner or later. In addition, the soldiers among them are also very brave. Our current mountain soldiers are only There are only three thousand, this is not enough, if we can recover them, then we will go to heaven."

Xi Zhicai also spoke, obviously wanting to send troops.

"That's it, it's been decided now, the first army will be you as the counselor, the second army will be the country as the counselor, the third army will be Liu Bowen as the counselor, and other things will be discussed in detail later. Let's set it up."

Qin Shuo also nodded, directly agreeing to this point.

Now should be my best chance. If I really give up such an opportunity, then I will probably be the one who regrets it in the end.

Moreover, the morale of the three legions is actually in full swing, and the vigor honed in the previous battles has not been lost. Now it is completely possible to strike while the iron is hot.

After thinking of this, Qin Shuo gave the order directly. In fact, the whole army is very excited now. After the order went down, not only no one retreated, but even many people cheered.

now people

That's the way it is, Qin Shuo is also following the public opinion.

In fact, the style here in Shuobai City is also very peculiar. On the one hand, it advocates force, and on the other hand, it advocates benevolence and justice, but these two aspects are actually not in conflict at all.

In ancient times, there were wise emperors who followed the will of the people, and then launched a war against rebellion. In fact, it would be better if this was the case.

In fact, the situation in Nanban is not optimistic now. There are already many Yizhou prefects who have defected to the barbarians. During this period of time, there are indeed some headaches.

Now the prefect of Jianning, Zhu Bao, the prefect of Cang County, and Gao Ding, the prefect of Yuexi County, have all contributed their own cities, and would rather bow their heads to the Nanman clan.

Now Yizhou in the late Han Dynasty has jurisdiction over the eight counties of Hanzhong, Bajun, Guanghan, Shujun, Qianwei, Yuexuan, Zangang, and Yizhou. These are very rich in water and soil, so it is also a place for military strategists .

In the evening, in fact, Qin Shuo specially found his counselors, and then analyzed together the important geographical location of Yizhou.

The first is Hanzhong County, which itself is a very important geographical location. At the beginning, Liu Bang was also named the King of Hanzhong, and then directly guarded Hanzhong.

Hanzhong the place itself

It is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then Liu Bang actually listened to the words of his advisers and generals, and directly passed the method of Mingxiu plank road and secretly hiding Chencang, and then won the whole world based on it.

So this Difan should also be called a real place of Longxing. Liu Bang rose here and there, but now this place is also occupied by Zhang Lu.

Hanzhong itself is gathered between the two basins, so if you want to enter Yizhou, you must rely on the location of Hanzhong. If Zhang Lu disagrees, then you need to pay a huge amount. In fact, there is no other way to do this.

There are actually only eight roads leading to the outside of Hanzhong, but none of these eight roads is flat, so they are also very easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is their benefit.

In addition, Qin Shuo and the others can actually walk up by the waterway, but this waterway should be the best way to go, because Qin Shuo's navy is very powerful.

The pavilion is 48,000 feet long, and it is not inhabited by Qin Sai. This sentence actually refers to this place.

So at this time, Qin Shuo and the others are also planning to go to Yizhou by two routes, one of which is by water, and the other is by land.

Among them, the waterway is along the Han River

Going forward, the other land route actually passes through Jiaozhou, and then passes through the mountains and ridges.

It is impossible for me to go up directly from Hanzhong. In fact, as long as people with a little brain know the importance of this geographical location, it is even more impossible to sell this place.

Qin Shuo actually just wants to occupy the territory of Nanman now, but in fact, the people in Yizhou opposite may not think so, but think that Qin Shuo wants to occupy Yizhou.

After all, Yizhou is also a big piece of fat. Basically, everyone wants it. Now that Liu Yan is dead, only Liu Zhang is left as a waste. Now he has really become fat in the eyes of everyone.

In fact, many people want to fight for this piece of fat now, but before fighting for it, they will actually look at the power in their hands to see if they have such a proud ability.

It would be great if he had such an ability, but if he didn't, then there was nothing he could do.

The current princes are all developing in a dull way, so now they are all taking advantage of the right time, place and people. The failure of Dong Zhuo to crusade against Qin Shuo before actually taught them a huge lesson.

Therefore, if people want to deal with Qin Shuo now, they actually have to weigh their own strength a little bit. If they can't steal the chicken, they will lose the rice, then it will be over.
