Leaving the wounded barracks, Feng Yong came to the Chinese army marshal camp, where only Zhang Bao was comparing the map and the sand table, not knowing what he was pondering.

Seeing Feng Yong coming, he nodded at him, "Recovered?" ”

Feng Yong walked over, glanced at the sand table, sat down, and asked, "What is the current situation of Longyou?" I had been in the mountains the other day, and the news was not very smooth. ”

"Later, the prime minister took someone to act secretly, because he was afraid of leaking the news, so he covered up the movement of the army, and only said that Longyou had nothing to do, and asked me to guard Longguan."

Feng Yong said this, and he was still afraid, "At that time, I still said that the overall situation had been decided, but I didn't expect such a mistake to happen." If it weren't for General Liu, the Northern Expedition would have been ruined. ”

Zhang Bao nodded, with a look of happiness on her face, "This time is indeed lucky, and I am fortunate to have you." ”

Feng Yong frowned, "So, this time the Cao thief broke through Luoyang, did it have an impact on the situation in Longyou?" ”

"Don't worry." Zhang Bao shook his head, "Cao Thief wants to take the Chencang Road to cut off the back road of the Northern Expedition army, but he has long been expected by the prime minister, and this time they were almost wiped out in Wudu." ”

"If it weren't for the Cao thief who gave up more than 10,000 people, he was afraid that the horses would not be able to return to Guanzhong. When I set off from Jicheng, the prime minister had already returned to Longyou from Wudu, passed Xixian, and thought that he was already in Jicheng at this time. ”

"What about Shangqi, Longxi, and Cao Thief in Liangzhou?"

"Shangqi has been broken, and General Wu should have arrived at Linwei City at this time. The Cao thief in Liangzhou heard that Jicheng was prepared, and turned to Longxi. General Wei retreated to the city of Dao in Nan'an and held on to the Cao thief. ”

Feng Yong looked at the map, "This Liangzhou Cao thief is interesting. ”

"How?"

"They go to Longxi, first, they can help guard Longxi County, and second, if there is discord, they can also withdraw from Xiangwu City to Liangzhou through Didao."

Zhang Bao glanced at Feng Yong with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to be able to see it at a glance." ”

I can't command on the spot, can't I talk on paper?

Feng Yong didn't answer the topic, and asked again, "Then what's next?" Can the prime minister have a military order? ”

"Anguo may arrive in two or three days, and he should bring the prime minister's military order by then, and wait for a few days with peace of mind."

This time it was Feng Yong's turn to be surprised, "Brother is coming over too?" ”

"Yes, when you were sleeping, An Guo had already sent a fast horse to deliver the news, saying that the prime minister had already sent an order to him before he arrived in Jicheng, so that he could lead the army to come."

Feng Yong was suddenly a little puzzled, just a street pavilion, and even used Guan Xing and Zhang Bao to guard together?

His gaze subconsciously fell on the sand table, and he saw that the Shangtou Street Pavilion, Qing Shui, and even Linwei were all planted with small flags, and he blurted out at the moment, "Prime Minister is planning to march into Qingshui from the Street Pavilion?" ”

Zhang Bao gave a thumbs up and said appreciatively, "Your vision is really amazing!" ”

Wu Yi from west to east, Guan Xing Zhang Bao from north to south, converge in Linwei.

After cleaning up the nail of Guangwei County, then the passage of Guanzhong into Longyou is all in the hands of the Han Dynasty, and Longxi has no reinforcements, so it can only surrender without a fight.

If the people of Liangzhou don't want to be left in Longyou, they can only go back and forth obediently, otherwise, Dahan doesn't mind going down to Liangzhou with a bang.

"What about Slightly Yang? Who is guarding Lüyang? ”

Feng Yong mentioned this first place to be broken.

"Jufu. Others are saying that you kid knows people, and it seems that there is such a thing. The prime minister originally asked the sentence to help Xiang Changshi guard Jicheng, but I got the prime minister's order, and after rushing back to Jicheng day and night, I found that he did have a set of leading the army. ”

"Coupled with the news of the street pavilion, he repeatedly asked for battle, I think he is your person, so I brought him out, this time to recapture Luoyang, he is the first to attack the city."

"I think he is quite courageous, so I let him garrison Luoyang." Zhang Bao looked at Feng Yong, "What do you think?" ”

"If you let the sentence support Luoyang from the beginning, Zhang He will have no chance to cross Longshan at all."

Feng Yong said without hesitation.

It's just a pity that Jufu's qualifications are still too shallow.

"Since you say so, then I didn't use the wrong person."

Zhang Bao nodded.

"Now that there is a brother of the Zhang family in the street pavilion, then I will lead the army back to Longguan. Those wounded soldiers, I asked them to take them back to Jicheng......"

Feng Yong learned about the situation in Longyou, Zhuge Old Demon returned to Jicheng to sit in charge in person, it seems that the overall situation has really been decided, he is the general of Longguan, or go back first.

It's just that before he finished speaking, Zhang Bao hurriedly stopped, "You have so many generals under your command, just pick a leader to return to Longguan at will." ”

"As for the wounded soldiers, I have already arranged for them, and then you will send someone to lead the wounded soldiers in your battalion together, and you don't have to worry about this. All you have to do now is stay here for a few more days. ”

"Why?"

Feng Yong asked strangely.

"If your people return to Longguan, the available soldiers in the street pavilion are basically the two thousand cavalry I brought over and those Qianghu."

"Those Qianghu only recognize you now, and you are not here, so how can they help guard the street pavilion with peace of mind? They roasted so much lamb for you the night before, you can't even stay with them for a few more days? ”

What does the one who says this, but what does the one who hears it think more.

The corners of Feng Tuqiu's mouth twitched, but he was powerless to complain, "Stay a few more days, stay a few more days, what does it mean to accompany them more?" Listen to the strange infiltration ......"

"You don't have to do anything, it's better to talk to them than anything else."

Zhang Bao didn't feel that he had said anything wrong.

"Okay." Feng Yong had to nod, and then asked casually, "Since the elder brother of the Zhang family has already collected the rout, has he found Ma Yan?" ”

"How could it not have been found? I sent someone to find it. ”

Zhang Bao had an angry look on his face, "Even if there is a loss in Luoyang City, as long as the street pavilion can be guarded, it will not be so embarrassed, but this Ma Tan is not good at guarding the street pavilion, and when he meets Zhang He, he misbehaves, it is really a waste!" ”

"Therefore, I sent someone to find him in the rout, locked him up, and prepared to send him to Jicheng with the wounded soldiers, so that the prime minister could deal with it."

When Feng Yong heard Zhang Bao talk about this, he remembered that he was in the wounded barracks, and there was a fire in his heart at the moment, and he nodded, "I want to go and see him." ”

"What's there to see? After this incident, even if he does not die, it is estimated that he will be demoted to a commoner, exiled to the borderlands, and never used again. ”

Zhang Bao said in disgust, "You have made great contributions, so you will have less trouble with those people, and you will be unlucky!" ”

"There's just something I want to ask him."

"I'll send someone to take you later."

"Thank you, brother."

As Zhuge Liang's most relied on protégé, if Ma Tan is really a waste as Zhang Bao said, it is a lie.

After all, in the past few years that he has been the Taishou of Hanzhong, he has also contributed to the fact that Hanzhong was able to recover so quickly.

Improved water conservancy, encouraged reclamation, and even personally came forward to reach an agreement with the ranch to lease farming cattle in the name of the government, and then lend them to farmers, a measure that benefited many people in Hanzhong.

There is also the fact that he stocked up on grain early to prepare for the Northern Expedition, which can be regarded as winning the heart of Zhuge Old Demon.

Hearing that Zhang He was attacking Luoyang, he decided to send troops, which was actually not wrong - if Li Sheng could hold on to Luoyang, Ma Tan himself could command properly, and he might not have a chance to defeat Zhang He.

His mistake lies in not knowing others and not knowing himself.

looked up at Li Sheng, and also looked up at himself.

The eye is high and the hand is low, nothing more than that.

One earthen wall, three wooden fences, and then a straw couch with dead grass and leaves, and nothing else, this is what Zhang Bao specially set aside as a prison cell for Ma Yan

As soon as Feng Yonggang entered, a smell of mold and rot came to his nose, making him cover his nose.

Ma Yan, who was covered in a sour smell, stomped his feet, heard someone walk in, raised his head and took a look, but he hurriedly turned his head, raised his sleeves, and did not dare to face Feng Yong.

Although Ma Yan's head was only a matter of moments, it was enough for Feng Yong to see his face clearly.

There is no longer the elegance of the past, and there is no self-confidence and pride of the past.

but the filth of the face, and the restlessness of shame.

Feng Yong looked at him like this and couldn't help but sigh.

"General Ma, if you can be your Taishou in Hanzhong, why did you fall into such a situation?"

Ma Tan's sleeves were raised higher, his head buried lower, and he was silent.

"The first time I met General Ma, it should have been in the first year of Jianxing, right? Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. ”

Feng Yong didn't force Ma Yan, but just sat opposite him and said slowly, "General remember that time, what was your evaluation of me?" ”

Ma Tan's lips, hidden behind his sleeves, moved, but finally he was speechless.

"You called me Feng Dianzi at the time, and later I made Quyuan plough and Baniu plow, and you apologized for it, I really thought you had a good mind at that time."

"When I went to Nanxiang, you became the Taishou of Hanzhong again, and you came to visit me several times. Nanxiang can have today, in fact, it is inseparable from General Ma's special care, for this, in fact, Yong is very grateful. ”

Feng Yong had a look of regret in his eyes, "General Ma has made great achievements in governing Hanzhong, so in Yong's opinion, if the general can shepherd one side with peace of mind, he may not be able to enter the court and become an important minister in the future." ”

"However, the general has great ambitions in the army, and Yong is not qualified to say anything about this. But soldiers, the major affairs of the country, must not be overlooked. Yong has a thing that I don't understand, and I want to ask General Yu Ma. ”

"Liu Yin is the deputy general in the army, since the prime minister wants General Ma to divide his troops to guard Luoyang, it stands to reason that the first candidate should be Liu Yin, why did the general abandon it?"

Feng Yong's purpose in coming today was to find out what Ma Jian thought at the beginning, so that he could make those brain-dead operations.

Ma Tan was silent for a long time, and then he put down his sleeves, but he still lowered his head, looked at the ground, and finally said the first sentence, his voice was hoarse, "There are many orders in the army, does General Feng think it's okay?" ”

"Naturally, not."

However, Liu Yin first did not agree to garrison the army on the mountain, and insisted that he lead the army and camp in the city. Later, he reported to the prime minister in private, causing me to not only be reprimanded by the prime minister, but even the troops in my hands were taken away from 30%. ”

"General Feng, I know that his relationship with you is extraordinary, and he can be here today because of your recommendation, but to put it mildly, if you are the commander of this army, you will feel comfortable when you encounter this kind of thing? Will turn a blind eye to such things? ”

Ma Yan finally glanced up at Feng Yong, but saw that his eyes were gloomy, "I didn't take the opportunity to find trouble with him, I just snubbed him, isn't it too much?" ”

Feng Yong was stunned, he only cared about ensuring the safety of the back road, but he never thought of rashly interfering in the affairs of the army under the command of others, but he committed a taboo.

made Ma Tan misunderstand Liu Yin and didn't say it, and at the same time, it also laid a hidden danger for the loss of Luoyang.

It's just that I remembered that Ma Jian didn't listen to Wang Ping's dissuasion in history, and if he asked Zhao Guang to tell him, I was afraid that he wouldn't listen to him either-so this matter had to be solved by suing the prime minister in the end.

What Feng Yong missed was that he did not communicate with Ma Jian in advance, and then if he did not listen to his opinions, he would report to the prime minister.

It's just that such things that are related to one's life and death, and on the battlefield, how can I have the time and mood to go through these processes?

Thinking of this, Feng Tu Turtle coughed dryly, "Then Liu Yin advised you to camp at the foot of the mountain, there is always a reason, right?" I also stayed in that street pavilion, which is located in the south of the mountain, but there is no water source on the mountain. ”

"If the Cao thieves besiege and don't attack, and cut off your water source for two days, I'm afraid that the army will collapse without a fight, haven't you thought about it?"

If a person does not drink water for three days, he will die, so no one will be stupid enough to wait for three days on the mountain, as long as he does not break through the enemy who is cut off from the water under the mountain within two days, the army will inevitably be defeated and flee by itself, and there is no need to wait until the third day.

Ma Tan opened his mouth, then lowered his head and remained silent.

"You're not convinced." Feng Yong didn't intend to let him go like this, "Before the thief arrives, everyone thinks that they can retreat from the thief." But you are also the one who leads the army against the thief. ”

"You ask yourself, can you really be sure to go down and defeat the thief army led by Zhang He?"

As he spoke, he swept the ground with his hand, searched around again, found a small pebble, and drew a random box, "This is the street pavilion." ”

Then another triangle was drawn, "This is Namsan Mountain." ”

Draw another thick line, "This is the river that flows through the foot of Namsan Mountain." ”

The person Ma Tan relied on was just imagining that the Cao thief would come over, and in order to open the street pavilion as soon as possible, he would attack the mountain in a hurry, but he didn't think that the other party would besiege but not attack.

As long as you besiege and don't attack, and then cut off your water source, do you have a fart to be high and low? Rushing down from the mountain, as long as people give up a large piece of open space, your momentum will be long gone, and your energy will be wasted.

When the time comes, the cavalry will rush head-on, let alone break through the enemy's encirclement, and they will only be afraid that they will have to be recharged back to the mountain.

Feng Yong finished analyzing, and then asked, "Does General Ma think so?" ”

Ma Tan only felt that his face was feverish and hot, and he was ashamed and angry.

Feng Yong let out a breath and said, "I'm right, right? In fact, speaking of which, I told the prime minister about your camp on the mountain, and it has nothing to do with Liu Yin. ”

Ma Jian looked up in surprise, feeling that something was wrong, but Feng Yong didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued, "But no matter what, the matter of the Luoyang Street Pavilion, what you have done, has caused countless deaths and injuries to the soldiers, this is an indisputable fact. ”

"I don't know what the prime minister will do with you in the future, although it is fate for a soldier to die on the battlefield. But you have made my soldiers sacrifice so much in vain, and my thoughts are always incomprehensible. ”

If you don't have a good idea, you have to think about it.

Feng Yong stood up, grabbed Ma Yan's collar with one hand, lifted him up, punched him in the stomach, gritted his teeth and said, "Please let me get through!" ”

Ma Tan snorted and bowed down.

Feng Yong hit him with a knee again, knocking him directly into the wall, "Tell the prime minister about your camping on the mountain, I didn't think about it, so I won't punch you twice." But for the rest, you'll have to compensate me. ”

"I'll let you read the book of soldiers!"

"Boom!"

"I'll make you have a cloud in the art of war!"

"Bang!"

"Isn't it good to govern Hanzhong well?"

The fists are to the flesh, and the feet and feet are windy.

"I have to come here and make trouble!"
