Chapter 0590 - To Each His Power
"The last general is willing to issue a military order!"
When Zhao Guang heard this, he quickly got up and said loudly.
"Good! If you can hold the north for a month, you should be credited with a great achievement! ”
Zhuge Liang approvingly, "Now there is a scholar Yang Tiao in Anding County, leading the soldiers to guard the Yuezhi City to resist the Cao thief, you have arrived at Jitou Road, but you want to contact him." If the Yuezhi City cannot be defended, he can let him lead the people into Longyou. ”
"The last general commands!"
Seeing that Zhao Guang's face was speechless, Zhuge Liang asked again, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's such a prime minister, when Brother Feng, uh, General Feng led the army to cross the street pavilion, he discussed the topography of this place with the last general."
Zhao Guang said with some hesitation.
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he smiled with relief, "You and others are all people who lead the troops, and when you see the danger, you will survey the terrain and point out the location of the military camp, which is studious, this is a good thing, what can't you say?" ”
At the same time, he was thinking in his heart that the kid had finally lived up to the military book he had given him.
"That being said, it's just that the last general passed through the street pavilion from Longguan this time, but found that the camp set up by General Ma was very different from what General Feng said."
Zhao Guang's heart was pounding, he still didn't understand why his brother suddenly couldn't get used to Ma Yan.
"What's the difference?"
The situation in Longyou is very good, Zhuge Liang is in a very good mood, and asked with a smile.
"There is a mountain to the south of the street pavilion, which is extremely dangerous, and can garrison 10,000 people. Now General Ma personally led people to set up camp above, but let General Liu lead the division to garrison in the small town of Jieting. ”
But what General Feng said to the last general at the beginning was that the army should rely on Jieting City to build a village, and echo with a partial division going up the mountain. In the end, I can't figure out all the way, what is the best of these two methods? ”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he looked carefully at the location of the street pavilion and groaned, "It all makes sense." The army is stationed in the street pavilion city, that is, it is mainly defended. If it is on the mountain, it is mainly attacked, after all, it is condescending, and it has a favorable geographical ......"
Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang thought to himself, this young man seems to be still earnest, and this kind of way of building a village is thinking of destroying the enemy. From this point of view, Young Chang has the ability to change formations at the right time, and Feng Mingwen is well aware of his intention to block the enemy.
"It's just the prime minister, there is no water source on the mountain, only to draw water from the bottom of the mountain, if the enemy comes to attack, besiege but not attack, then what?"
Zhao Guang said cautiously.
"Huh?" When Zhuge Liang heard this, he turned around abruptly and stared at Zhao Guang deadly, "What did you say?" ”
"Mountain...... There was no water on the mountain, and the army had to draw water from the bottom of the mountain. ”
Zhao Guang finally knew that he was scared this time, and stammered.
Jiang Wei lowered his head as if he hadn't heard anything.
Although he has just joined the Han Dynasty, Cheng has taken care of him a lot, so he naturally knows that there are two people that the prime minister appreciates the most, one is Feng Mingwen and the other is Ma Youchang.
Now that Zhao Guang has returned from Longguan, he suddenly mentioned the matter of Ma Tan's village, although he doesn't know what the reason is, but Jiang Wei knows that it will definitely not be as simple as Zhao Guang said.
Jiang Wei can think of it, and Zhuge Liang can also think of it.
The prime minister of the Han Dynasty looked at Zhao Guang and asked slowly, "You tell me honestly, whose idea was it that you brought up this matter?" ”
Seeing the prime minister's appearance, Zhao Guang gritted his teeth and said stiffly, "Returning to the prime minister is the idea of the last one." The elder brother led the army to attack more than 260 miles on the fifth day, and broke through the Longguan Pass on the third day. ”
"Now it is still guarding the pass on the top of the Guanshan Mountain, blocking the enemy from the east, the street pavilion is south to the Qingshui of Guangwei County, and the gateway to the right of Longyi is Luoyang City in the west, which is the only way back for the elder brother."
"If there is a loss, not only will the previous achievements of the elder brother be abandoned, but the army led by him will have no way to advance or retreat, but to wait for the death on the mountain. Therefore, the general was uneasy to see General Ma like this, so he wanted to ask the prime minister, is this move appropriate? ”
Zhuge Liang listened to Zhao Guang say these words, looked him up and down, his expression became more and more serious, although he didn't speak, but the prestige of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty was not a joke after all.
Zhao Guang didn't dare to look at Zhuge Liang, but he didn't say anything.
After a stalemate for a while, Zhuge Liang suddenly smiled, "You have a deep brotherly relationship, but you can't afford this matter." This kind of vision, in your generation, only that kid has, you are still a little worse. ”
"Prime Minister, what the last general said is the truth."
Zhao Guang was anxious and hurriedly said.
Zhuge Liang pointed to Zhao Guang's legs, "If you really want to tell the truth, what are you two shaking these legs?" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and looked at the map again, and sighed leisurely, "This kid is sorry for his life, guarding the front and thinking about whether there will be problems in the back." Don't worry, I don't blame you. It's just a child...... If it's as you say, then it's really a disappointment! ”
The back road is cut off, that is the catastrophe, in Zhuge Liang's view, although Feng Yong and Zhao Guang's approach is to show that they do not believe in Ma Yan, but it is understandable.
After all, it was because of the loss of the rear that Guan Junhou was defeated and died.
The most important thing is that what Ma Tan did was indeed inappropriate.
Zhao Guang and the three of them were silent.
Jiang Wei glanced at Zhao Guang and Yang Qianqian, and secretly thought in his heart: This Feng Mingwen, who had just burned Cao Thief to death in Longguan in the front, had just let someone bring back Liao Liao with a few words, which would make Cheng Tai Ma Jian very disappointed.
The name of "clever words Ling Se Feng Langjun, ruthless and spicy Xiaowenhe", I finally know it!
"Zhao Guang, I will give you another 7,000 people, and you will lead the troops to Luoyang tomorrow. Jiang Wei, you take my warrant and go to the street pavilion to personally check the situation in Ma Tan for me. ”
"If he really gave up the water to the mountain, you would ......"
Zhuge Liang was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty after all, and he quickly suppressed his feelings rationally.
He glanced at Jiang Wei, sighed again, and said in his heart that it would be good if Bo Youyou was not a new descendant.
"Tell me to come down the mountain, and return to the city and set up a camp, and then draw another picture of his camp and show it to me. Yang Wan, I will also give you a warrant, and you will go with Jiang Wei. ”
"When you get there, you pick out 5,000 men and horses yourself, and then return to Luoyang to join Zhao Guang, and then go north together."
"No!"
The three of them answered in unison.
After Zhuge Liang finished giving the order, he gave the three soldiers a warrant, and then waved his hand a little tired and let them out.
Seeing the prime minister looking at the back of Yutu revealing a sense of loneliness, Zhao Guang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
Yang Wan pulled him, and Zhao Guang had to walk out stupidly.
Changan.
In the temporary palace of Chang'an, Cao Rui looked a little depressed and half-lay on the couch and pretended to sleep, he came all the way from Luoyang, and he was already a little tired.
As soon as he entered the territory of Chang'an, he received the news that Longguan was lost and Pang Hui was killed, and he was hit a little confused on the spot.
The loss of Longguan is equivalent to closing half of the gate on the right side of Long.
If Shu Lu occupies the land of Longyou, then Guanzhong will be under the attack of Hanzhong and Longyou, and I don't know how many troops will have to be filled into Guanzhong to hold it.
Moreover, Shu Yu can turn over Longyou and dive into Guanzhong at any time, but Guanzhong has to look up at Longyou day and night, and the difficulty of attacking and defending the two is not the same.
Cao Rui couldn't help but be upset when he thought of this.
When he first ascended the throne last year, Dongwu took the opportunity to go north in two ways, but was defeated.
That's why I heard that Zhuge Liang was in Hanzhong later, so I wanted to send troops to attack him.
I didn't expect that the silent Shu Lu in the past few years took advantage of the emptiness in the west to take advantage of the opportunity to be so difficult.
"Your Majesty, there is something in the guards to ask to see."
The chamberlain came in lightly and whispered.
"Oh? Come to the front office! ”
When Cao Rui heard this, he quickly opened his eyes and got up.
Wei Zhen, who came to Chang'an with Emperor Wei, saw Cao Rui coming out of the back hall, and hurriedly saluted, "Chen Wei Zhen has seen Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live for a long time......
"Excuse me, the guard, but General Zhang in front has news?"
Cao Rui interrupted Wei Zhen's salute and asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, Longguan is dangerous, even if General Zhang wants to recapture Longguan, it will take time to gather soldiers and horses, it is not a day's work, Your Majesty does not need to be anxious."
Wei Zhen said unhurriedly.
"How can I not be in a hurry? If Longyou loses, Guanzhong will lose for a long time! Cao Rui's face was full of anxiety, "Guanzhong lost ......"
"Your Majesty is cautious!" When Wei Zhen heard Cao Rui's words, he frowned and interrupted Cao Rui's words loudly.
I only heard him scold, "Your Majesty is the lord of a country, bearing the hope of all the people, and now he is driving a personal expedition, and millions of soldiers are headed by Your Majesty." ”
"If Your Majesty loses his mind and messes up, then the people will have no basis, and the soldiers will have no heart to fight. I hope Your Majesty will be cautious! ”
When Cao Rui heard Wei Zhen's words, he poured cold water on his head, and immediately woke up, his face flushed with shame, "It's because I didn't think it through." ”
Wei Zhen saw Cao Rui admit his mistake, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, the situation in Longyou is in chaos, it's just that Shu Yu took advantage of Great Wei's defenselessness and succeeded for a while." ”
"Now General Zhang Lao leads the army of tigers and wolves, leads elite soldiers, gallops to the aid of Longyou, and will definitely be restrained. Your Majesty just sit back and wait for the good news. ”
Cao Rui was comforted by Wei Zhen like this, and his somewhat flustered heart calmed down a little, he took a deep breath, nodded and said, "What the guards said was that I was wrong. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and knelt down to sit back on his seat, forcibly calmed himself, and asked, "I don't know if the guards are here this time, but what is the matter?" ”
Wei Zhen bent down and said respectfully, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is here this time, and there is indeed good news to hear from Your Majesty." ”
"Oh, what's the good news?"
"The general defeated Zhao Yun in Jikou the day before yesterday, forcing Zhao Yun to flee to Hanzhong, and even because he was afraid that the general would chase after him, he also set fire to the plank road, and Shu Yu will no longer threaten Guanzhong for the time being!"
When Cao Rui heard this, he wanted to stand up on the spot, but when he remembered what Fang Cai Wei Zhen said, he knelt down and sat back again, but his pretended calm face couldn't help but glow with joy, "Is this true?" That's great! ”
"Your Majesty, how can such a national event be a joke? Your Majesty, please see, the battle report is here. ”
Wei Zhen said, took out the official document from his sleeve and handed it over.
"The guards are deep in cultivating qi!"
Cao Rui couldn't wait to take it, and when he saw Wei Zhen's calm face, he couldn't help but praise it at the moment.
After he opened the battle report and read it, he breathed a sigh of relief, "The general is worthy of being a clan and important minister entrusted by the first emperor, and he should live up to my expectations!" ”
Just thinking that Zhao Yun burned the plank road to cut off the chasing soldiers, Cao Rui was a little annoyed, "This Shu captives leaning on the mountain to make risks, attacking if it is advantageous, and retreating if it is unfavorable, it is really disturbing." ”
Wei Zhen smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, Shu Yujikou was defeated, burned the plank road and retreated to Hanzhong, thinking that he had a plan, but he didn't know that now the Great Wei is gathering elites in Guanzhong, and the break is at this time." ”
"Is there a plan to break the capture among the guards? Can you tell me? ”
Cao Rui hurriedly stood up when he heard this, and asked in surprise.
Wei Zhen said calmly, "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister." Now that Zhuge Liang led the army of Shu in Longyou, its grain route must be from Hanzhong through Wudu, through Qishan. ”
"The art of war is cloudy, and attacking it will be saved. The grain road in Hanzhong is what Shu will save. Zhuge Liang attacked my Longyou, and I cut down its Hanzhong and cut off its grain route. ”
"At this time, the soldiers of Shu and the whole country are in Longyou, and the troops in Hanzhong must not be much, and now the general has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there is nothing to do in Guanzhong, why not take the opportunity to go to Chencang Road to attack Hanzhong through Dasanguan? If Hanzhong can go down, then the big thing can be decided. ”
"As soon as the grain road of the army of Shu and Longyou is broken, it will be chaotic without a fight, and the army of Shu and Longyou will no longer have any soldiers to fight. At that time, Don't say that Longyou can be restored, Your Majesty only needs to order a general to march into Sanba, and it is not known that Shu will go down with a drum. ”
"Wonderful!" Cao Rui applauded, his eyes were like seeing a lamp and candle in the night, his face burst out with a radiant look, and he said in ecstasy, "Before General Zhang left in Luoyang, he said that Shu Yu abandoned the danger and came out, and the defeat was at the right time, and this statement is very reasonable. ”
"Wei Aiqing, everyone is worried about how to attack Longguan, but I didn't expect you to have a unique vision and see the weakness of Shu, if this battle can destroy Shu, you should make the first contribution!"
Although he has repeatedly warned himself not to be happy and angry, Wei Zhen's plan is really too wonderful, if it can be done, it will be an immortal achievement, how can Cao Rui, who is only twenty-four years old, bear it, he is so excited that he can't help himself.
Longguan.
Since the capture of Longguan, Feng Yong will stand on the city wall every day, looking down at the mountain, looking forward to Zhang He's arrival, but somehow, Zhang He, who should have arrived a long time ago, has never been seen.
"It doesn't make sense, how can this Zhang He be so slow? Even if you climb, you should have climbed to the top of the mountain, why is there still no one? ”
Feng Yong really couldn't help it, turned around and shouted, "Come on, let General Wang Xiao come and see me." ”
Wang Han quickly arrived in a hurry, bowed his hand and said, "General, but what do you want to tell the last general?" ”
Feng Yong suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and nodded, "General Wang, I want you to take the people from the Dark Night Camp down the mountain to find out the movements of the Cao thief, I always feel that this Cao thief has not come for so long, it is really a little weird." ”
"No!"
Wang Han responded, and was about to turn around and go down, when Feng Yong hurriedly shouted, "If you find the Cao thief, remember to see who led the troops." Also, the bottom of the mountain is the land of Cao thieves, so be careful. ”
"Understood."
After Feng Yong finished instructing Wang Han, he scratched his head again and muttered, "What the hell is this Cao thief doing?" ”
"The general led the army to run for nearly 300 miles in a few days, and took Longguan lightly, quite a general's style, why is he so worried after getting the Longguan natural danger?"
Zhang Wei walked behind Feng Yong at some point, with a worried look on his face, and asked.
Feng Yong glanced back at Zhang Wei and smiled bitterly, "Longguan is the throat lock of Longyou, and the Cao thief let us repair the Guancheng and delay not going to Longshan, which is really too weird, so I feel uneasy." ”
"The general also said that this is the throat lock of Longyou, if the Cao thief army wants to go to Long, it must pass through Longguan, as long as we guard here, the rest will be dealt with by the prime minister."
Zhang Wei persuaded him, "The general is the commander in chief of the army, but if you sit quietly, you can appease the hearts of the people in the army, and the rest of the things will be handed over to the last general and others." If the generals are not at ease, how can the officers and soldiers in the army have the confidence to kill the thieves and guard the pass? ”
That's because you don't know that Zhang He is on the other side, but the only remaining fruit of Cao Cao's five good generals!
Although the pressure in Feng Yong's heart was very great, when he heard Zhang Wei's words, he had to nod, "General Zhang is right, but I am a little too anxious." By the way, is there a flute in the army? ”
"Flute? What does the general want to do with the flute? ”
Feng Yongchang sighed, "I haven't played the flute for a long time, and I want to play a tune to relieve my boredom." You're right, I can't do much but wait anyway. ”
Zhang Wei: ......
