Chapter 145: Delusion

But on the side of Xiakou, Liu Bei sees that Liu Yi is either studying how to streamline the plow, or studying printing. Although he feels that printing is really a big deal, but now it is the time to fight with Cao Jun. Liu Bei euphemistically He proposed that Liu Yi temporarily put down these things and wait until Cao Cao defeated, and then conduct further research. At present, everything is done to defeat Cao Jun.
In fact, before this battle with Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Liu Qi were basically unavailable. The preparation for Zhuge Liang has already been said, and Liu Yi also added some.
Do you have to tell Liu Bei that this is actually a matter of fire?
It really came out and finally fulfilled. I am afraid that Liu Bei should treat him like a talent like Zhuge Liang, how could he have that skill? Besides, once it was leaked and major events broke down, the result was really unpredictable.
Some helplessness, but since Liu Bei has spoken, and these things are really not in a hurry, Liu Yi can only temporarily give up the improvement, and brought Wei Yan to the Shuizhai dock, thinking about what to do next?
Liu Bei didn't say what he wanted, but felt that Liu Yi shouldn't be studying printing and farming equipment at this time, but Liu Bei didn't even think about what to do.
In the Battle of Chibi, Liu Yi prepared a hundred fast boats for Jiangdong. With these fast boats, as long as Cao Cao comes to a chain of locks as in history or in the Romance, Zhou Yu can seize the fleeting warplane. This battle is basically over, and then seize the territory. It is not difficult to win the Jiangling with the ten warships made by Liu Yi. If you count it down, if you want to expand your business, Jingzhou side, just With Xiangyang left, Liu Bei could not swallow any more.
Xiangyang ...
Liu Yi has seen Xiangyang City Defense, a strong city. Although his craftsmanship skills can bring attributes to items, he can't break the shackles of this era. If he really wants to fight a strong city like Xiangyang ...
Liu Yi didn't go to the dock, just let people get a desk case (similar to an easel), ink pen and paper inkstone came over, glued a piece of Cai Hou paper on the desk case, frowned and raised the pen. The memory outlines the structure of Xiangyang and Fancheng.
The structure of Fan Cheng Liu Yi had asked Liu Yi to strengthen Fan Cheng ’s defense. Liu Yi had already remembered it. As for Xiangyang, Liu Yi lived there for a period of time. Although many places are not allowed to be close, Liu Yi ’s vision today is only With those places, it is enough to push the overall structure of Xiangyang City.
"Sir, this is Xiangyang City?" Wei Yan stood beside Liu Yi, looking at the drawings drawn by Liu Yi, surprised.
"Yeah." Liu Yi nodded, Xiangyang City was taller than Wu Chang, and three or four floors were so high. In this era, this is already a rare strong city. Liu Yi has never seen a big city like Luoyang or Chang'an. , But it is estimated that the difference will not be too far.
"Sir is going to suggest that the protagonist play Xiangyang?" Wei Yan's eyes lit up and looked at Liu Yidao. Now he is also mad at the position of captain. He is considered Liu Bei's general, but he still listens to Liu Yi.
"How many soldiers and horses does the emperor have?" Liu Yi shook his head: "But if you want to attack Xiangyang, it's best to attack with one blow, otherwise the longer it is, the harder it is to attack! Uncle assembled his troops, advancing along the waterway, and won the land of Xiangfan in one fell swoop. "
As soon as the Battle of Chibi ended, Cao Cao was busy running away. The morale of Cao Jun in Jingxiang area must be low. This is the best time to attack. Xiangyang is difficult.
Moreover, if Liu Bei can capture Jiangling and Xiangyang with his own ability, then there is no problem of borrowing Jingzhou. Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou is also a key node in the decline of the Shuhan regime from its peak.
"Wen Chang, if you come to guard Xiangyang, how should you guard?" Liu Yi looked at Wei Yan. He knew that Wei Yan was upset recently because Liu Bei failed to pay attention to him. However, he was only responsible for recommending such things. Liu Yi He couldn't control it, he couldn't control Liu Bei's mind.
"If I come to guard ..." Wei Yan heard the words and looked at the graphics of the two cities drawn by Liu Yi. His eyes suddenly lighted up: "If it were me, I would use the navy to communicate the two cities, if the enemy army attacked Xiangyang." , Then the soldiers of Fan City were transferred to Xiangyang. If the enemy attacked Fan City, the opposite would happen. "
"If he can get these two cities in a day, he will set up a pontoon between Xiangfan." Liu Yi glanced at Wei Yan and nodded with a smile, which is why he drew together the two cities of Xiangfan.
When Liu Cong did not surrender, why did Liu Bei send troops to Fancheng? Because there is only one water between the two cities, they can support each other, and Cao Jun is not used to water warfare. With these two cities alone, Cao Cao has a million heroes, and it is difficult to break through these two cities. .
But now if they are to be the attacking party, the first thing to do is to cut off the ties between the two cities. From this point of view, the ten warships are obviously not enough. Liu Yi must make a more complete fleet. Only big ships have to be coped with by small boats.
"So if you are to be attacked? What do you need?" Liu Yi asked. He didn't study the art of war, and his combat experience was limited to defending Mocheng a few times.
"This ..." Wei Yan was a little bit troubled, looking at the two city channels: "First of all, there is a navy to cut off the connection between the two cities."
Liu Yi nodded, he had already thought about this, and it was easier for Liu Bei to build the navy than Cao Cao.
"Secondly, if the siege equipment and grain and grass are ready, 80,000 troops will be needed!" Wei Yan thought about it for sure.
"So much?" Liu Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at Wei Yan. Although Wei Yan was crazy, he was not a big-talker. In this respect, he was more rational than Guan Yu, but 80,000 troops, let alone now Even if Liu Bei of Jingzhou won, he might not be able to take it out.
"Mr. Xiangyang City Defense, the end will be clear, but with the solidity of Xiangyang City, if there is no 80,000 troops, there will be no confidence to win." Wei Yan smiled bitterly.
80,000!
Liu Yi somewhat understands why Liu Bei did not take Xiangyang. He thought the war was too simple. It was not that Liu Bei did n’t want it, but he could n’t get it at all. It seems that he thought too much. Now let ’s think about taking Jiangling at the minimum cost. !
Of course, what Wei Yan said is that under Cao Jun ’s well-prepared conditions, so many people are needed. If Chibi is defeated, so many people may not be needed. As for how much it is needed, Liu Yi does not know that there are too many things to consider, I can't count on myself. When Zhuge Liang comes back, he should discuss with him, but with Zhuge Liang's character, if he is not completely sure, he may not agree to this plan.
Liu Yi put away the map of Xiangfan and prepared to use it again in the future. He posted a new one and prepared a map of Jiangling. However, Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang flew to Shuizhai.
I don't know if the other party came to find myself, but Liu Yi still got up, took Wei Yan to meet, and greeted Liu Beigong with his hand: "Where is the uncle?"
"In five days, it will be the day of meeting with Kong Ming, and I don't know how Cao Jun's military is now. I'm going to take a boat to find out. Bo Yuan can go with him?" Liu Bei smiled at Liu Yi.
Five days?
Liu Yi wanted to refuse, but after looking at Wei Yan who was eager to try, he nodded and said, "It just happened to be with the uncle, and also to see how Cao Jun's armaments will help me think about the method of cracking in the future."
There should be no danger.
Liu Yi personally picked a small boat with a cabin in the water village. Although it was a small boat, the speed of the boat was quite fast. For Liu Yi and Wei Yan, Liu Bei did not refuse to let Wei Yan take charge of the boat. The four entered the cabin. Narration.
The cabin is not large, but the interior feels quite spacious. After Liu Bei entered the cabin, he said strangely: "I knew Bo Yuan had a magical hand, but every time I saw it, it was still sighing."
"The emperor's words are too serious." Liu Yi smiled modestly and said: "But Kong Ming will come back in five days?"
"Huh." Liu Bei nodded and looked at Liu Yi, said: "Bo Yuan is something wrong?"
"There is something that I want to discuss with Kong Ming." Liu Yi nodded.
"What's the matter?" Liu Bei smiled and said: "Bo Yuan would like to say to Bei Yi?"
Liu Yi nodded. Even if Zhuge Liang agreed, Liu Bei nodded and took the Xiangfan defense plan from his arms and spread it on the low table in the cabin: "Yi studied if Cao Jun defeated North and wanted to attack Xiangyang. Is it feasible? When asked Wen Chang, Wen Chang replied that if he attacked Xiangyang, he had to cut off the Xiangfan contact with the navy, and then he would need 80,000 troops to overcome Xiangyang, but this is under Xiangyang ’s adequate defense, if Cao Cao Defeat and morale are damaged. If our army takes the opportunity to attack Xiangyang, then it needs geometric force? If you ca n’t understand the art of war, you want to discuss with Kong Ming. "
"This ..." Liu Bei looked at the map given by Liu Yi, but it was quite detailed. At the moment, when he heard the words, he smiled and shook his head, but did not speak.
He has been in Jingzhou for nearly ten years. Of course, he knows the importance of Xiangyang, and he knows Xiangyang ’s sturdiness. When he retreated from Xinye to Fancheng, he was thinking of joining forces with Xiangyang ~ EbookFREE.me ~ to fight against Cao Jun. It is a pity that Liu Cong's surrender made Liu Bei a little caught off guard and could only give up this natural barrier.
Now that Liu Yi proposed to attack Xiangyang, Liu Bei could only report a bitter smile.
"Not successful?" Liu Yi looked at Liu Bei.
"What Bo Yuan said, I don't know how to wait." Guan Yu sighed: "It's just that our army has a small number of soldiers. If we can get the four counties and generals in Jingnan and reorganize our troops, it will take at least one year. I want to attack Xiangyang again, but as Wei Yan said. "
Then he glanced out: "But Bo Yuan, the general, is quite knowledgeable."
"Wen Chang is indeed a general, and it's a pity to follow me." Liu Yi nodded and glanced at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei smiled, did not speak, and instead said: "Bo Yuan does not have to worry about this matter, it is enough to get Jingnan and Jiangling, and it is not dare to be extravagant."
Liu Yi nodded and said nothing more. The four began to talk about other topics. At the current speed, it was also evening to arrive at Cao Junying Camp.
