Chapter seven hundred and seventy third: the final plan
After pondering for a while, Lu Bu couldn't help but say: "If you choose the current Northern Expedition, it may not be the most suitable time. Because Cao Han is now rich in the country and strong in the people, and strong in the army and strong in the army. If you attack Cao Han now, it will definitely be a tough battle."
"But this is probably the most suitable opportunity. If you don't attack Cao Han now, you will have to wait a decade or twenty years later. I don't have the patience to wait that long, so this year, I decided to lead the army to the north."
Hearing Lu Bu's words, the counselors present looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
As a top strategist, who doesn’t want to make achievements and become famous in future generations?
The highest honor of a strategist is to assist the lord and unify the world?
Although Cao Han is also very strong, he is still a little worse than Dahua.
After pondering for a while, Lu Bu couldn't help but say: "Since I decided to make the Northern Expedition this year, then, from which point is better as a breakthrough?"
In fact, now in the duel with Cao Han, the Great China has already occupied the advantage of territory.
Because the Great China can start attacking Cao Han from many places, can attack from Qishan, can attack from Changsha, and can also attack Cao Han from Yingzhou in Liaodong or Qingzhou.
In fact, the Great China has attacked from Yingzhou many times and attacked Qingzhou in Cao Han.
So much so that Cao Cao is now making many defenses in Qingzhou to defend the attack of Dahua Kingdom.
However, the scale of the Navy of Great China is now extremely terrifying, and Cao Han may be attacked by Great China any coastal areas.
If you want to defend against the attack of the Great China Kingdom, Cao Han will not arrange heavy troops in all coastal areas.
In fact, it’s not just the coastal areas?
Any area that is handed over to the Great China Kingdom may be attacked by the Great China Kingdom.
Cao Han’s defense line has been 10,000 or 20,000 miles long. Even if Cao Han has a 500,000 army, it will appear extremely weak even if he spreads to the defense line of one or two thousand miles.
When Cao Han wants to take the initiative to attack, there are very limited places where he can attack.
Their targets are only Lujiang County and Jiujiang County of the Great China Kingdom, and the area in the northern part of Jingzhou.
As for Hanzhong, since the Great China has an absolute advantage in terms of geographical location, there is no possibility of conquering it in a short period of time.
Over time, the Great China will definitely send reinforcements to support it, making it even more impossible to conquer it.
This situation directly led to Cao Han not having much chance of choosing to take the initiative to attack, but could only defend passively with a grievance.
However, although the Great China can attack many areas of Cao Han, one issue must be considered.
That is, after the attack comes, will it be possible to defend it, will it be counterattacked by Cao Han, and will it be detrimental to them.
At present, the strength of the Cao Han power is not only not weak, but also extremely strong.
They must formulate an offensive route, whether it is from west to east, from south to north, or from east to west?
Which route is the best route?
Although Lu Bu was brave and invincible in the world and was well aware of the abilities and personalities of famous figures during the Three Kingdoms period, he was far inferior to those of these top strategists for this strategic strategy.
So, Lu Bu couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang and asked Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, where do you think our offensive route is more appropriate?"
The other extremely counselors, when they heard Lu Bu ask Zhuge Liang, their eyes lit up and their ears were pricked up, wanting to hear what Zhuge Liang would answer.
Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang's reputation is even more famous than them.
This also led to these strategists not being very convinced by Zhuge Liang.
This time, they wanted to hear what Zhuge Liang would answer.
When Zhuge Liang heard Lu Bu's inquiry, he smiled slightly. Zhuge Liang had been thinking about this question a few years ago, and now he can be said to be confident.
Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Your Majesty, I believe that first, we can mobilize the warships from Yingzhou first and appear in the waters near Liaodong and Qingzhou."
"In this way, it will inevitably attract the attention of Cao Han, and Cao Cao will definitely station troops in these two places. Cao Han's navy is no match for our Dahua Navy at all. Therefore, they will definitely not dare to go out to sea to engage in naval battles with us, and can only defend passively."
"Our navy can fish in this area, so that it can hold back Cao Han's large number of troops."
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, the extremely adviser present couldn't help but smile knowingly, and Lu Bu nodded repeatedly.
They can harass Liaodong and Qingzhou, but it is actually not appropriate to use this place as the main battlefield.
This place is too far from their Dahua territory, and it can only transport materials continuously through the sea.
Attacking Cao Han through this point is equivalent to completely abandoning their strengths.
Of course, even if Cao Cao knew this, he had to send troops to defend when he saw the Navy of the Great China country appearing in this sea area.
Next, Zhuge Liang said again: "Then we can send troops from Yangzhou and Jingzhou to attack Caohan Yuzhou."
"Yuzhou is a must-fight for the military strategists of Cao Han, and for Cao Cao, there is absolutely no way to lose. This attack can once again involve Cao Cao's large number of troops."
"And our real attack is actually here! Wuzhangyuan attacks directly and takes Chang'an, Xianyang and other places in one fell swoop!"
Um?
Starting from Wuzhangyuan, take Chang'an and Xianyang in one fell swoop?
In the original historical trajectory, Zhuge Liang rushed to Wuzhangyuan and then unfortunately died of illness in Wuzhangyuan.
In this life, Zhuge Liang also chose Wuzhangyuan as the breakthrough point.
It seems that Zhuge Liang has a deep obsession with Wuzhangyuan.
But I have to say that this is indeed a good breakthrough point.
After taking Chang'an and Xianyang, they once again occupied one commanding heights and one fortress.
There are eight hundred miles of Qinchuan here and Hangu Pass here, which can be defended from three sides.
There is the convenience of the Wei River here!
If you start from Wuzhangyuan, if you are surprised and pay a certain price, you believe that you can take Chang'an.
Once the Great China takes Chang'an, it will not be so easy for Cao Han to retake Chang'an again.
Therefore, Lu Bu couldn't help but nodded at Zhuge Liang's plan.
Lu Bu couldn't help but look at the other strategists and asked them for advice: "I wonder what do you think of Kong Ming's plan?"
Xun Yu couldn't help but say, "Good!"
Guo Jia also praised: "Kong Ming's plan is exactly what I want and can be implemented."
Jia Xu said: "I think the Wei River passes through the north of Chang'an City. This time, our submarine comes in handy."
Although Jia Xu did not express his support for Zhuge Liang clearly.
But his meaning inside and outside was to affirm Zhuge Liang's strategy.
Moreover, Jia Xu's idea also made everyone present illuminate.
