Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao, please answer the question!

In fact, Longzhong won Jingzhou and Yizhou in seven years. At this time, the three-point situation in the world has become clear.

But occupying these two places is not enough.

After Cao Cao took Hanzhong, he was eyeing the hinterland of Yizhou, but he could send troops from the rich Hanzhong to attack Yizhou, so that there would be no shortage of food and grass, and Yizhou would be unstable.

Hanzhong is still the only way for Liu Bei to go north. If he wants to get involved in the Central Plains, Jingzhou is one of them, but Jingzhou needs to guard against Sun Quan.

And Hanzhong is the second. Occupying Hanzhong can not only protect Yizhou, but also choose to attack Guanzhong, and then go straight to Luoyang and Xudu.

Longzhong's strategy for Zhongzhuge Liang is to occupy the three places of Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Hanzhong.

As long as he can stand firm, then Liu Bei's power can even surpass Sun Quan.

This was Guan Yu's careless mistake in Jingzhou and knocked Liu Bei back to his original form, becoming the weakest party in the Three Kingdoms again.

Even Zhuge Liang failed to restore the decline of Shu in the end, and became the first country to be destroyed among the Three Kingdoms.

Of course that's all for later.

Chapter 48 Northern Expedition Lost

[Question [-]: Which of the following is not the main reason for Zhuge Liang's five Northern Expedition failures? 】

[a: lack of food and grass, b: weak national strength, c: lack of talents, d: poor strategy, e: incompetent lord]

"I actually failed the Northern Expedition five times?"

Who is the Northern Expedition?

it goes without saying.

Four of the above five answers are the reasons for his loss.

Zhuge Liang felt very dazzling when he saw the word "failure".

"In combat, the right time, place and people are indispensable, if I don't occupy it!"

He felt a little astringent in his mouth.

"Sir, there's no need to be like this. Five conquests have failed, so we'll do it again!" Guan Yu said from the side.

When he saw that he lost Jingzhou just now, he felt the same as Zhuge Liang now.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "That's not the reason."

"Five conquests, this is a serious loss of national power. If the five conquests fail, I'm afraid it will directly drag down the lord!"

Zhuge Liang looked at the problem directly to the core.

Five battles is not a small-scale war.

It was the Northern Expedition!

Since it is the Northern Expedition, it is to attack Guanzhong, it is a big battle!

In the five wars, the Battle of Chibi was incomparable to the consumption of national power.

Since it was the Northern Expedition, they must have occupied Hanzhong.

But after occupying Hanzhong, Guan Yu lost Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang can imagine how weak Shu was at that time.

And the five wars will undoubtedly further drag down the national strength of the entire Shu Kingdom.

If it's done, that's all!

But all failed!

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. The five answers were clear and clear.

"The first answer, insufficient food and grass, I think it is possible!" Zhuge Liang said.

Guan Yu frowned and said: "The two armies are fighting, and the food and grass go first. How can there be insufficient food?"

If the food is not prepared, how can a top strategist like Zhuge Liang fight easily?

"The Northern Expedition is too far away, and the terrain is dangerous. If it is not enough to transport food, it is normal to fail." Zhuge Liang said.

Hanzhong is not flat, it is just a valley between mountains.

Taking Hanzhong to go north, whether it is to capture Longyou or Guanzhong, it needs to cross the Qinling Mountains, which is a difficult problem.

"After crossing the Qinling Mountains, we have no tree to support, except to lay down a place for repair."

"Otherwise Cao's army will come aggressively and attack fiercely, and our military equipment will soon be exhausted, and we will be powerless to continue!"

This reason is important.

Although Hanzhong is pointing directly at the Central Plains, it has more defenses than offense!

Guan Yu nodded after hearing this, thinking that Zhuge Liang's analysis was very thorough.

He looked at the second answer and said, "That country is weak..."

Halfway through the talk, Guan Yu already understood that if they occupy Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Hanzhong, then they naturally cannot be said to be weak in national strength.

But the Jingzhou important land has been lost, which is a fatal point.

"That's right, we will only occupy Yizhou among the thirteen states in the world." Zhuge Liang said.

Hanzhong is just a county, not a state.

Although Yizhou has fertile land and is rich in grain and grass, it is also the place where Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, rose.

However, Sun Quan occupies Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou, and the national power must be strong, which is not something they can fight.

As for Cao Wei in the north, it goes without saying.

Therefore, it is inevitable that Liu Bei is weak.

Guan Yu was silent, looking at the third answer.

Zhuge Liang continued: "The lord has always been lacking in talents. People in the world don't recognize the lord as a member of the Han family. They only think that the lord is a straw sandal seller, and they don't want to go to him."

"There is a lot of slander in it, but it is true that no one can use it in the hands of the lord."

Although there are Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, etc., compared with the talented Sun Quan, there is still a lot of difference.

As for comparing with Cao Cao, there is no way to compare.

"Although there is a shortage of talents, but there are gentlemen in charge, how can it be said that the strategy is not good?" Guan Yu said.

This is the fourth answer.

Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang are probably the only effective advisers under Liu Bei.

If Pang Tong defected to Liu Bei, of course he would be one of them.

But now that Pang Tong is imprisoned by Cao Cao, whether or not it is not yet certain.

However, with Zhuge Liang's talents, if the Northern Expedition were to be said to have no plans, it would definitely not.

But not the fifth protagonist!

This is a bit unbelievable.

Guan Yu snorted: "Guan's answer to this question is probably the last one. How could the elder brother of a certain person not do it?"

If Liu Bei wants to compare, of course he is still worse than Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

But he is definitely not an incompetent person if he is more deficient than the top and has more than the bottom.

Therefore, the protagonist is incompetent, and in Guan Yu's eyes, he must not be!

Zhuge Liang also wanted to choose e, but on second thought it was wrong, d is actually possible.

He is confident in his strategy, of course he can't!

"Liu Bei's big-eared thief is indeed incompetent!" Cao Cao said beside him.

He hated Liu Bei.

Liu Bei had his trust, but he took away his soldiers and horses to stand on their own.

On this point, he wished to cut Liu Bei into pieces.

Guan Yu glared at Cao Cao, but when he saw Cao Cao's calm face, he was short of breath.

Cao Cao is indeed kind to him!

Regardless of others, it is said that Zhuge Liang is still struggling.

Is it his own incompetence or the protagonist's incompetence?

These two points have been deadlocked.

If you choose d, you don't trust the lord, how can this work?

And if he chooses e, it means that he actually doesn't believe in his ability, which will deal a certain blow to his self-confidence.

But he couldn't think of a definite answer.

Hua Tuo kept silent by the side, not because he was afraid of talking, but because he couldn't speak at all.

None of the above problems are known to him.

Because he doesn't care about the situation in the world at all, he only cares about the patients in the next place.

But these questions did let him understand a little bit, it turns out that this will be the case in the future.

But after he leaves this space, he will probably turn his head and forget about it.

At this time, he said: "This plan is not to say that Mr. Zhuge's plan is not good!"

After hearing Hua Tuo's words, Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up.

The strategy is not good, of course he is talking about himself, because the Northern Expedition led by him is in the title.

but.

The lord did not say it was Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang will definitely not seek another master, but judging from the previous questions, it has been 12 years since Dingding Jingyi.

And these several Northern Expeditions certainly cannot be accomplished in a short period of time.

Every Northern Expedition should be a major event for the muscles and bones of the labor country.

It is not impossible to prepare for as little as six months and one year, as much as two or three years.

And that time.

Is Liu Bei still there?

Although Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, since ancient times emperors could not escape the word longevity.

Now Liu Bei is in his forties, and 12 years later, Jing Yi will be 60 years old.

If we continue to support the Northern Expedition, wouldn't it mean that we are too old?

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said, "I choose d, not because I'm not good at strategy!"

Chapter 49 The Protagonist Is Incompetent

【correct answer】

Zhuge Liang looked at Guan Yu and heaved a sigh of relief.

He actually needs to worry about Guan Yu, after all, he has only joined Liu Bei Group not long ago.

And Guan Yu is the elder.

If he made the wrong choice, he would undoubtedly hate Guan Yu.

"It turned out to be D, then..."

Guan Yu was a little dazed looking at the answer, how could it be that his elder brother was incompetent?

"General, the key point of this question is actually in the world." Zhuge Liang explained to him.
