Chapter 655 The Treasure Trove!
Chapter 655 The Treasure Trove!
Liu Bei carefully held the treasure bowl, as if it held the hope of the entire war and the rice bowl of all the people in the world.
Of course, he wouldn't provide it to them for free, because that would harm them.
They think they can eat without working, but what will they do when the treasure trove disappears one day?
Therefore, Liu Bei would only use the treasure basin for producing grain during major military campaigns.
At other times, he would absolutely avoid using it if he could.
Even if he dies in the future, he will let Chizuru take it away to prevent it from harming his descendants!
The phrase "to gain without effort" has existed since ancient times!
...........................
At this moment, everyone inside the tent was breathing rapidly.
They heard what the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden just said!
Liu Bei took a deep breath and said to everyone, "With this treasure basin, we no longer need to worry about food supplies. I have a plan. I've decided to eliminate Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Liu Zhang first. Since they are difficult to deal with, we must strike and break this pincer attack!"
The crowd responded in unison, their morale soaring, and a new battle was about to begin.
Then, Liu Bei gave the order!
"Military Advisor Pang, you will remain in Chang'an to prevent Cao Cao from launching a surprise attack on our rear! I will have General Wen Ping assist you!" Liu Bei said earnestly.
Since Qianhe says Pang Tong will die if he enters Yizhou, then we must change his mind!
Pang Tong was somewhat puzzled: "My lord... you're attacking Xichuan...?"
"This is Master Qianhe's intention!" Liu Bei suddenly shouted, his voice so loud it seemed to shatter the eardrums of everyone present.
His words were like a thunderclap, directly interrupting the other person and causing the entire scene to freeze.
All eyes were on Liu Bei, who looked at Zhuge Liang with a serious expression and said slowly, "Strategist Zhuge, I'll trouble you to go and attack Xiliang!"
This statement was like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar among the crowd.
Zhuge Liang, in particular, was utterly astonished, clearly surprised by Liu Bei's decision.
It should be noted that he has always been in charge of logistics and is not particularly skilled in military operations.
............................
He has indeed not led troops yet; that is the job of Pang Tong, Liu Bei, and Jia Xu.
Because he is not the same as before.
He's only 22 years old now, which is the same age as Xiao He managing logistics.
This is not Zhuge Liang from 214!
It's not Zhuge Liang who just emerged from seclusion in 207 to assist Liu Bei!
You could say he's very young!
Very young!
Sending him to attack Xiliang, such an important strategic location, is this a joke?
"Huh? Me?" Zhuge Liang exclaimed in disbelief.
He stared wide-eyed at Liu Bei, seemingly trying to discern a hint of a joke in the other's expression.
However, there was no hint of mockery on Liu Bei's face, only solemnity and determination.
"Yes, this is Master Qianhe's idea. I will go with Jia Xu, General Wei Yan, General Zhang Xiu, General Huang Zhong, and General Huang Xu to attack Xichuan!" Liu Bei continued, his tone resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
Upon hearing Liu Bei's words, Jia Xu, Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu, Huang Zhong, and Huang Xu all stepped forward, clasped their hands in greeting, and expressed their willingness to go along.
Their faces radiated confidence and determination, clearly indicating their strong belief in this mission.
They are too ambitious.
It is a blessing that our lord can lead them!
Huang Zhong, in particular, made great contributions to Liu Bei after he came to the country.
Liu Bei also told him privately that he would have a place among the Five Tiger Generals in the future!
Chizuru had also mentioned Huang Zhong to him.
In the original historical trajectory, he helped him conquer Xichuan, and even died in old age on the way to attack Wu in order to avenge his second brother Guan Yu!
It can be said that Liu Bei trusted Qianhe the most. If he said that Huang Zhong and the others could be trusted, he believed it without any doubt.
Because Chizuru's words are always true!
Because until now, he has always been victorious in every battle, and he has never given up!
........................
Meanwhile, Mi Zhu and the others looked at Liu Bei with deep concern and said in unison, "My lord, you don't need to take such a risk! Attacking Xichuan is no easy task. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bei frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "I, Liu Bei, have always led by example and been the first to charge into battle."
Now that Master Qianhe has made this arrangement, I will naturally comply. No further words are needed!
Liu Bei said with a serious expression!
