Fengxiang, Baoji.

As the governance of Fengxiang, since the founding of the country, this is the second time, and he has been stabbed in the back by foreign enemies. At the most dangerous time, the Shu army almost broke the city, but fortunately, Zhao Hui managed the troops in a good way, and had a strategy to resist the enemy, so that the enemy army had no more progress, and the soldiers and civilians in the whole city were treasured.

Moreover, with the return of the expeditionary army, the court's attention turned to Guanzhong, the financial and military forces were transferred to the west, and the situation was completely stabilized.

In the city, the Jiedu Marshal's Mansion is also the command center of the southwest of the Han Dynasty, controlling the Chinese army of 30,000 troops in the Guanzhong Prefectures. In the yatang, Zhao Hui, the envoy of Fengxiang Jiedu, Yao Yuanfu of Baoda Jiedu, and Xiang Xun, the envoy of Southwest Aid, were sitting in it.

Xiang Xun is not confused in the year, but compared with Zhao and Yao, he is going to be a generation shorter, so although he has the mission of the Son of Heaven, after Xiang Xun came to the west, he was very respectful to the two and fully cooperated with his imperial Shu.

"Although it is more than a thousand miles away, the imperial court judges the situation and is so keen!" Zhao Hui raised his eyes, passed the privy military order in his hand to the medicine, and sighed to the two: "The privy military order is the same as our concerns, and we also think that the Shu army should retreat, let us find an opportunity to fight, and we can't let the Shu army withdraw safely!" ”

"Then fight him!" The veteran Yao Yuanfu didn't even look at Ling Wen, although his temples were as white as frost, but he was full of spirit: "How can I let it come and go!" Shu Yu didn't know the lesson, he was defeated in Jifeng Mountain back then, and he dared to come this year, so he would be defeated again, so that they would have a long memory! ”

"The medicine makes Jun strong, and I admire it!" Xiang Xun carefully read the military order, returned the case to the handsome, and bowed to Yao Yuanfu.

"Xingmin doesn't have to compliment the old man! I've fought all my life, but I just want to take advantage of the veteran's old age to gallop on the battlefield again! Yao Yuanfu smiled, his face full of ease.

Speaking of which, for the sake of Yushu, the Han court summoned the towns of Guanzhong to send troops to Fengxiang to support, and they were all ordered, but only the veteran Yao Yuanfu was on the table, and he was willing to personally lead the Yanzhou soldiers to the south.

The courtiers discussed, thinking of his old age, fearing that he would not suffer from the military, and should not allow it. But after thinking about it, Liu Chengyou, the son of heaven, considered that Yao Yuanfu's words were sincere and sincere, which would inevitably hurt the heart of the veteran, so the general agreed to the edict and ordered Hanlin to write a splendid essay to praise him.

A very real problem, at this time, the emperor of the Han Dynasty did not sympathize with the old age of his subordinates.

"Brother Yao, Xingmin, you see, how should this battle be fought?" Zhao Hui walked to the map and asked.

"Since ancient times, it has been easy to enter the army, but it is difficult to retreat. The performance of the Guanshu army can hardly be called elite, as long as it retreats, it will reveal flaws, just send elite soldiers, follow the rear to cover and kill, and there will be some gains! Yao Yuanfu said.

Xiang Xun stepped forward, pointed with his hand on the map, and said: "The Shu army retreated by Zhao Gong and withdrew to the south bank of the Wei River, but it was under the scattered pass, and it was repeatedly frustrated, and the morale of the army has been greatly damaged. If you can't save it, you will waste military strength and money and food here, and you must retreat. Exploring the layout of its camps, the first-line troops of Sanguan and Chencang have been reduced, and then moved to Gudao, which obviously has the appearance of retreating. ”

"As Yao Gong said, but if he retreats slightly, he can send elite soldiers to attack him later! However, there is one thing that must be guarded against! Xiang Xun pointed on the Wei River: "Be on guard against the Shu army, destroy the floating beam, and cut off my pursuit road!" ”

When Yao Yuanfu saw it, he smiled heartily and looked at Zhao Hui: "The previous Shu army retreated to Weinan, and all the generals suggested destroying the floating beam to prevent the Shu army from crossing north again, but Brother Zhao did not allow it. Now that I think about it, Brother Zhao has long had the intention of attacking the enemy, so he left this passage for the purpose of today's dynasty! ”

Zhao Hui's old face was full of calmness, but the slightly hooked corners of his lips had already confirmed Yao Yuanfu's conjecture, and he only heard Zhao Hui say: "In order to build the upstream floating beam, the Shu army spent so much human resources, and it was demolished directly, wouldn't it be a pity, it was just for our army!" ”

"Do more scouts, keep a close eye on the movements of the Shu army, report it in half a day, and report it immediately!" Zhao Hui ordered: "The city should also be ready to pursue the army, boost morale, be vigorous, and be ready to attack at any time." Gather all the cavalry, and then select the elite soldiers and unify the command! ”

"In addition, inform the envoy of the history of the Changyi Army, let him be good at guarding against Han Baozhen's army, and he will not be able to make the Qinzhou Shu army break through to the south!" After a moment's thought, Zhao Hui said again: "Send someone again to inform the defenders of Sanguan, so that Wang Renzhen can continue to hold on and carefully observe the enemy's situation in case he changes." The more this happens, the more cautious you be! ”

"Yes!"

"Brother Zhao, this is the errand of leading the army to defeat the enemy, leave it to me!" Yao Yuanfu asked Zhao Hui for his life in advance.

Before Zhao Hui could speak, Xiang Xun politely bowed his hand: "Yaogong is almost old, the soldiers are in danger, and the matter of receiving the enemy should be led by the army!" ”

"What, you're cheating me about my old age?" Hearing this, Yao Yuanfu was immediately unhappy, his old eyes were blazing, and he glared at Xiang Xun.

Xiang Xun immediately explained: "How dare the juniors! It's just that the medicine is loyal and pure, and he can't bear to be affected! ”

"You don't have to say good things!" Yao Yuanfu raised his eyes angrily, and rushed to the training: "It's only a few dozen catties, and it's hard to talk about being tired." I asked Your Majesty to come to Qi, but I am not in the city to retire. If you suspect that I am old, I can hold the sword, and try it out, look at the old man, do you have any spare strength? ”

Seeing the strong state of this veteran, Xiang Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly, hugged his fists and said: "Yao Gong's words are serious, I don't mean that!" ”

"If you don't mean that, don't fight with me for the position of commander! You'd better lead your navy! Yao Yuanfu looked at Zhao Hui: "Brother Zhao, shouldn't you brush my heart for the country!" ”

glanced at Xiang Xun, saw that he was helpless, but he was not stunned, sighed a little in his heart, and said to Yao Yuanfu: "The movement of the Guanshu army depends on the situation. However, the two of you can prepare to pick and choose the military horses together! ”

Zhao Hui's words were plain, but there was no doubt, and when he felt his tone, the medicine and Xiang two did not argue anymore, and surrendered to the order.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the ya, which attracted the attention of the three people, and Zhao Hui's face turned pale: "Why is it noisy?" ”

Immediately, a military academy entered the report inside: "Jingzhao has a batch of grain and grass, and the grain officer came, saying that there was a letter to report to the commander, and he would break into the government without waiting for the ceremony, so there was a conflict, and his people had been captured, waiting to be dispatched!" ”

"This person is so bold, a little grain officer, just behead it!" Yao Yuanfu said lightly.

"Bring the letter!" Zhao Hui was not in a hurry, and ordered.

The grain officer was naturally Murong Chengtai who was sent by Song Yanwu, and sure enough, when he arrived in Fengxiang, he began to jump. The letter was quickly presented to Zhao Hui, and after reading it, the old man frowned and said: "The letter from Song Yanwu, the son of Murong Yanchao of Kaifeng Mansion, came to the army for training on the order of the emperor, and this time he escorted the grain and grass to the old man to settle it as appropriate." ”

"No wonder this is the case, the emperor's relatives, the sons of the gentlemen!" Yao Yuanfu said.

Zhao Hui thought for a while, handed the letter to Xiang Xun, and said to him: "Xingmin, this person will be arranged here!" ”

Hearing this, he couldn't help but glance at Zhao Hui, this old handsome man is a bit of a troublemaker. However, there was no way, and he was ordered to come out.

"Brother Yao, why do you want to compete with Xiang Xun when you release your talents, they are all contributing to the country. You and I are in the twilight of our lives, so we should be less energetic! After Xiang Xun went out, Zhao Hui looked at Yao Yuanfu.

"I have always been so dispositional, and everyone thinks I am old, and I want to prove it to the world. Not to mention that it is not yet seventy, even if it is too rare, it can still carry a knife on the horse and lead the army to fight, and it must not be underestimated! Yao Yuanfu said.

"You don't accept the old man!" Hearing this, Zhao Hui smiled and laughed at himself: "I'm not as good as my brother, in the past two years, the more I dare to be weak and have little energy!" ”

Age, Yao Yuanfu is several years older than Zhao Hui, and his body is even more incomparable, and Yao Yuanfu's toughness is far beyond the imagination of others.

However, with a smile, Zhao Hui said to Yao Yuanfu a little seriously: "No matter what, Xiang Xun is sent by the imperial court, and the emperor loves generals, so he can't be taken lightly." If you change to a narrow-minded person, you are afraid that you will be envied by others, and you will inevitably slander and slander. You and I are in the highest age, and we should not be taken advantage of by villains. ”

Hearing Zhao Hui say this, Yao Yuanfu also became a little more serious, and said in a deep voice: "I look at Xingmin, this person, who is stubborn and resolute, brave and strategic, and not a slanderous minister!" ”

"I have a hunch that the emperor sent Xun Xi, but I'm afraid that it will not only help Yu Shu, it's so simple!" Zhao Hui said leisurely, with a strange look in his eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" Yao Yuanfu asked.

Zhao Hui said: "The situation in Hedong should be heard, and the state should be the government, and three divisions should be set up to control the power. Hedong is the strongest feudal domain in the world, and the imperial court cut it, sharp and decisive, but there is no hindrance. We must think about it first! ”

Zhao Hui is a person who is known to be far-sighted, and he was the first to raise a righteous army to resist Liao and claim to be subordinate to Hedong, which has already seen his vision. How could the imperial court not notice such a big move in Hedong.

In contrast, Yao Yuanfu looked very relaxed, and chuckled: "Cut it, just cut it, the rich and noble lords, and the wife and son, they all have it, what is not satisfied?" As long as I can continue to lead the troops into battle, the rest doesn't matter! ”

"Dude is open-minded, I'm ashamed of myself"
