Liu Chan smiled bitterly in the palace in Jiangling. This battle was the same as the Jiangdong situation. The truce of the army was indeed the right strategy for consolidating the current territory of Shu Han. However, Cao Wei would not stop, and the people of Wu would not give up. This knot has been killed and no one can solve it. If you want to stop, you have to estimate whether you can bear the consequences of stopping. Based on your own estimate, this is difficult for Shu Han to bear.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! There is news from the general!" Wen Li walked into the study excitedly, his expression of excitement beyond words.

Liu Chan really had no requirements for palaces and other things, but just chose a larger mansion in Jiangling City as his palace for the time being. Seeing that Wen Li finally brought the long-awaited news, Liu Chan was overjoyed. It was the content of the letter to break the deadlock.

Regarding the strategy of governing the country, Fan Jian and Yang Xi were all good consultants. On the battlefield, they still had to rely on Zhuge Wuhou’s heir Jiang Wei. Long before the attack on Wu, Liu Chan kept communicating with Jiang Wei to discuss strategies. Jiang Wei had not replied for more than a month. Now that the sudden letter must be a turning point.

After taking the letter, Liu Chan took a closer look. Wen Li, Wen Hu stood on both sides and looked at Liu Chan with expectant expressions in his eyes.

"Well...this...you can take a look." After Liu Chan looked at it, he handed the letter to Wen Li and Wen Hu with a strange look on his face.

Wen Li and Wen Hu took the letter and looked at it one by one, and they looked solemn. Liu Chan sat in the hall silently, thinking about something. The long-awaited news was so detailed, and the widespread involvement was far beyond his expectations.

History has long changed its trajectory, but it constantly hits the hearts of the world at a certain point, as if nothing has ever changed.

After Wen Li and Wen Hu exchanged their eyes secretly, they also replied: "Your Majesty, it is important to call the civil and military officials to discuss together."

Liu Chan nodded, waved his hand and stood up and turned into the inner house. He left Wen Li and Wen Hu, and went to Xuanshou with all his thoughts.

Ten days later, civil and military ministers who could gather came from Sichuan, including Quezheng and Qiao Zhou, also divided some representatives to come. The southern and southern continents of Liangzhou, Yongzhou, sent officials to bring opinions and suggestions from important officials from all sides. The elites of civil and military in Shu Han gathered in Jiangling City to discuss the proposals in Jiang Weixin.

When Jiang Wei was young, he often imagined using foreign races as aid to compete for the land of Yongliang. This was the only way for the weak Shu Han to eat Cao Wei and the best foreign aid. At present, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were competing in Jiangdong, and the Wu Kingdom was fighting very stubbornly. Shu Han and Cao Wei increased their troops and each guaranteed their own interests. However, Shu Han's national strength was still not comparable to Cao Wei. As time went by, Cao Wei had the advantage. Of course, there was also the factor that Liu Chan's strategy was wrong and Sima Zhao seized the initiative. However, after the tug-of-war, Cao Wei's strategy of constantly increasing troops was indeed put in a dilemma.

It was very difficult for Shu Han to open up the situation in Jiangnan. The navy was restricted by Cao Wei, and the invincible elite fighting tools also had effective responses. The capable and patriots of this era were far more intelligent than they thought, especially when these people saw the "interests", the speed of dealing with them and changing was outrageous.

Liu Chan gained the upper hand with his insight and thinking beyond the world. Cao Wei was the least available for a while, but he was not without the power to fight back. Liu Chan opened the door to unify the world for Shu Han, and also helped Cao Wei, a giant, open the door to the development of science and technology.

The south had no way to open up the situation, but only thought about the mistakes from the north. The same was true for Shu Han's conquest of Wei for many years. After Jiang Wei arranged everything, he secretly sneaked into the territory of the northern alien races with his personal soldiers to seek cooperation. The seemingly dangerous actions were actually risk-free. Jiang Wei had long been aware of the habits of the alien races, and there were also "celebrities" of all races among the accompanying figures. In addition, Hu Leique had frequent communication with the official secret history before, this trip was unexpectedly smooth.

The leaders of the Wuhuan and the Xiongnu tribes had contact and exchanges with Jiang Wei. For these two major tribes that had been suppressed by Cao Wei for a long time, Shu Han was a friend rather than an enemy. Especially the contacts of Zuoxian King Liu Bao after returning to the grassland had already aroused the various tribes' hatred of Cao Wei. To a certain extent, the Shu army came at the right time.

In the north of Wei, there were only two main forces, Zhong Hui from Bingzhou and Sima Wang from the north. Among them, Zhong Hui was also responsible for restraining the Shu army, so the important task of resisting foreign tribes fell on Sima Wang's shoulders. The domestic troops continued to move south. Although Sima Wang had strong troops, he knew that he should not act rashly at this time, so he had a great tolerance for the temptation and range of activities of foreign tribes.

Jiang Wei hoped that the Huns and Wuhuan could attack the entire defense line of Bingzhou and even Cao Wei from the north, but the other party's request was that Jiang Wei could not be the one who could dominate. Whether it was the Huns or the Wuhuans, as long as the cities and territory captured by ethnic minorities were owned by ethnic minorities, the Shu people would not be involved. Similarly, the territory captured by Shu Han would not touch the minority. This is a condition for continuing negotiations and a requirement that it would not be allowed to give in at all.

You should know that these alien races are nomadic peoples. They have always shot and changed places, but now they want to occupy prefectures and counties like Han people. Compared to this unusual requirement, the ambition behind them is even more terrifying.

The whole world knows the war between the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu. No one is willing to give in to the competition between the three parties, and no one is willing to let go. Under such circumstances, the situation faced by Cao Wei and Shu Han is very serious. In Jiang Wei's view, the alien races have a very thorough understanding of the situation in the world, and their combat power is enough to launch a war with the Han people alone. In other words, the alien races have also possessed considerable strength after they have the idea of ​​invading the Han territories. At present, the loyalty of the Three Kingdoms is in the south, and it is extremely difficult to make Shu Han or Cao Wei withdraw. Once they shrink their hands, they will not face the alien races, but also the Wu Kingdom that is strongly counterattacked or Cao Wei after swallowing Wu.

As long as the alien race has vision, they can never join forces with either side and choose the most favorable opportunity for them to invade Wei or Shu Han - and whether the empty Cao Wei and Shu Han can withstand such an impact is still unknown - at the same time, the alien race already has the strategic vision and mind to accomplish all this, which is what Jiang Wei is most worried about.

Therefore, what Jiang Wei proposed was not a solution to the current dilemma, but a report on the huge crisis facing Shu Han and even the entire northern front!

The civil and military officials of the Shu Han Dynasty expressed their opinions, and they were both practical, but they had to be questioned in terms of operability. The alien race has always been regarded as barbarians, as low-ranking ethnic groups and ethnic groups, savages and barbarians who did not accept the king's transformation. Such ideas and views have not changed even the Shu Han, whose policies of alien races were relatively better among the Three Kingdoms, had never changed.

Liu Chan once imagined that Han people and barbarians could live in harmony, but under the influence of cultural and ideological aspects of this era, this was impossible. Even if it could be successful, it would be hundreds of years later. It would be useless for the present moment, and it would be no surprise that it would be opposed or even sowed by others. Regardless of whether the current situation in the north remains stable, as long as you think about the invasion of foreign races in the town, foreign races who have always believed in Shu Han would rise up and rise up, which would make people feel very troubled.

The Xianbei and Qiang people who were entrusted as arms will eventually take the opposite route, which makes people feel sad that they are raising tigers.

The territory occupied by Shu Han in the south was the entire Jingzhou and half of Chaisang, plus half of Jiaozhou was all gained. The defenders in Jingzhou had more than 70,000 troops, and more than 60,000 soldiers were invested in the Chaisang side, and there were more than 60,000 soldiers in Jiaozhou. These were all troops in an attacking position. Once they turned into a defensive situation, not to mention the changes in the hearts of the people in Wu that had just occupied, but if these cities had to divide their troops and defend them, they would divide these troops into scattered vulnerable attacks.

War is not only the gains and losses of the land, the consumption of human and financial resources, but also the sustenance of people's hearts and spirit. When you continue to attack in an endless manner, the people are impressed by your courage and strength, but when you retreat for no reason, it is replaced by the shaken and chaos of people's hearts.

The soldiers and generals of the Eastern Wu who fought tenaciously in various places were the last breath of the Eastern Wu regime. If one is destroyed, one point will be reduced. If one is eliminated, one point will be reduced. If one is eliminated, then Jiangdong will be finished. But if you shrink and retreat, the tone that cannot be suppressed will surge, becoming the horn of counterattack and your nightmare.

Many occupied cities are not dangerous to defend, and are even not suitable for defense. Once you give up, it will be even more difficult to come back in the future.

Liu Chan pondered, and the ministers were silent. They could not solve the war in Jiangdong, so they could not cope with the crisis in the north. You should know that Yongliang and even Sanfu still had more than a dozen rebellions waiting for the Shu army to be wiped out, and they were still emerging one after another. Taking action in the north was a good way to solve the situation in Jiangdong, but they did not want to bring unexpected crises, which made the king and minister of Shu Han at a loss.

Fortunately, Jiang Wei used the excuse of reply to delay the alien race, which was also a delaying strategy. Before the Shu Han responded to the requests made by the alien race, he still had some time to use, which was a blessing in disgrace.

Liu Chan's eyes swept across the faces of the ministers and finally fell on Zhuge Xu. Zhuge Xu has been appointed as a free job in Chengdu since surrendering. Is this a stingy in the Shu Han court? It's just that Zhuge Xu's contact with the barbarians was too close, which made Han officials feel contemptuous of him. High officials and generous salaries are also given to you, but it is difficult to have any real power.

You should know that most of the civil and military officials who surrendered from the Wei Kingdom were used by Liu Chan to measure their talents. A large number of people, including Yang Hu, worked hard for the Shu Han. Zhuge Xu was not good at all and was once the leader of a state, but he could not even get some power. It can only be said that success or failure was a different race.
