Chapter 1736 Chengdu Rebellion II
However, even if it is a dangerous road, at least they can see Meng Da’s confidence and see how sure they are of success.
If they are too low or even unsure, why should they risk their lives to accompany Meng Da to take a bet with him?
Although they were almost forced into a desperate situation by Liu Che, the knife was not completely placed on their necks! If Meng Da failed here, he would immediately end up with a dead end.
Although it is the difference between early death and late death, no matter how you say it is better to die than early death. Is it better to live one more day or one more day? Maybe one more day will bring them a turning point!
"I mobilize at most 800 troops now!" Meng Da said calmly.
Eight hundred?
After hearing this number, many of the people present almost didn’t slap Meng Da directly!
Although Chengdu's troops were constantly mobilizing outward, they still had 20,000 elite soldiers and 3,000 barbarian soldiers to this day. Moreover, another 30,000 new soldiers were formed not long ago.
Even if you don’t count the 30,000 new recruits with low combat power, just talking about the 20,000 elite soldiers and the 3,000 barbarian soldiers, you can only control 800 of them. Why do you want to launch a mutiny and break into the Shu Palace and take Liu Che into your hands?
In the eyes of everyone, Meng Da is purely crazy, this is not a mutiny, this is trying to die!
Meng Da’s expression that started to change color just as he looked at it, but in fact his heart was also very bitter!
When Liu Che just got up, Meng Da was also the first general to serve Liu Che and help Liu Che stabilize the situation in Shu. Therefore, in recent years, Meng Da has also been prosperous and is definitely the number one figure in Yizhou.
But this is often the case. The boat of friendship is overturned as soon as it is said. When Meng Da repeatedly showed the idea of the surrender faction, Liu Che refused to agree. He took a combo to Meng Da, and he would take down Meng Da's military power in an open and secret manner.
Being able to control the last 800 people is the result of Meng Da's hard work and management in the Shu army for so many years.
"In addition, King Jin, no, the lord can send 600 swordsmen to help us!" Meng Da continued.
Meng Da has not yet officially surrendered to this side, and he has never seen Li Xiang before. The word "Lord" has been called out first by then!
And the six hundred swordsmen are almost 90% of the combat power of the Floating Water Room in this Chengdu City. This is also the greatest support that the Floating Water Room can give Meng Da!
"I can hold three thousand soldiers and horses in my hand!" Wu Yi said loudly.
In fact, Wu Yi is Meng Da’s confidence in planning all this. If it weren’t for Wu Yi, Meng Da wouldn’t have the heart to think about that much with his 800 people!
First, the knife was already on the neck, and they couldn't wait to march to the bottom of Chengdu City. Second, with such a strong aid, third, it was his gambler's mentality. After all, the Jin army did not attack the bottom of Chengdu City, but they helped the Jin army take down the Chengdu City. Otherwise, why would he dare to take the position of deputy governor?
Wu Yi's sister is the wife of Liu Che's younger brother Liu Mao. In order to balance the aristocratic family forces in Yizhou, Liu Che has always been very important to the Wu family, but Wu Yi has always been hiding better and has not jumped out as easily as others.
Therefore, the power in his hands was not suppressed, and it was already the largest force that Meng Da could use now.
In fact, it can be seen from Wu Yi that the people in Shu have become so disintegrated to the point where the people in Shu are now, especially the people of these aristocratic families, have long been out of the same line as Liu Che.
Most of the forces of aristocratic families have the primary goal of survival and development of their own families.
Of course, although most of the children of aristocratic families pay attention to the survival of the family first, it does not mean that they are not loyal. Although many aristocratic families will diversify their investments in multiple princes in troubled times, even if they diversify their investments, these aristocratic families, under the hands of all the princes, have always done their best, and even devoted themselves to their own lives until they die.
However, the Jin army's deterrence after Jingxiang was too great. How many of those who were determined to go all the way to the dark ended up in the end? With such a number of lessons, the people in Yizhou were not sure that while they were trying to win their loyalty and image with Liu Xiu, they could also ensure that there was no problem with their family!
Not everyone has the courage to take risks with the future life and death of their family. Therefore, many officials from aristocratic families can no longer guarantee that they will be loyal to the old masters in the same way as before, and after they have their image, they will be captured and then transferred to the camp, and can also ensure that their family will be smooth sailing.
Therefore, many aristocratic families wanted to "divide" their relationship with Liu Che, and even these aristocratic families who were resentful to Liu Che had radical ideas.
As for Wu Yi, the price he holds is far above Meng Da in the floating room.
It’s a pity that these two people are fundamentally different, or that the people here are fundamentally different from Meng Da.
Meng Da dared to be the leader and dared to actively contact and gather these people to promote this matter. However, the remaining people led by Wu Yi did not dare to be the first to take the lead, nor did he dare to be the leader, but he was more willing to be the group of people who followed the crowd.
It is precisely because there are many people in this world who follow the crowd that talents like Mengda are more likely to achieve greater success, although people like Mengda are also at the greatest risk.
Although Wu Yi was not a leader like Meng Da, but a person who was more willing to follow the crowd. However, Meng Da alone had the ability to convince Wu Yi, a person with greater power in his hands, to assist him, from this point of view, it can be seen that Meng Da actually has outstanding abilities.
With Wu Yi's statement here, everyone here has begun to calculate. The power of more than 4,000 people, coupled with the actions of these people, Meng Da's action has actually had a considerable chance of success.
After all, what they had to do was not to deal with the defenders in the entire Chengdu city, but to accidentally enter the Shu palace and directly control the Shu king Liu Che in their hands, so that they could capture the king first. After controlling Liu Che in their hands, the next step was to follow the trend to control the pace of the entire Chengdu.
After doing this, the morale of the front line was in chaos, and the obstacles faced by the Jin army could no longer be called obstacles. The Jin army could reach the city of Chengdu at the shortest speed, laying the foundation for the final victory of this battle to conquer Shu.
When this matter had a chance of success, and these people had a simple calculation in their minds, they found that the chance of success was quite large, and everyone began to get moved.
After such a risky thing, there will naturally be greater rewards. After the Jin army takes control of Shu, these people will be meritorious officials!
