Chapter 101 Eloquence
Zhang Guang didn't expect that not long after he dreamed of Guo Jia, Guo Jia actually came to Guanzhong by himself.
It seems that the name of my great Han life master Zhang Guang is still quite loud.
Zhang Guang took a few guards who had been to Huayin and walked for nearly five days before arriving in Huayin.
Huayin is backed by Taihua Mountain, there is the Yellow River in the north, and the army wants to go west or east from here, so it can only go to Huayin, unless it is willing to go north to Rao and cross the river from Puhanjin.
During the period when Zhang He was stationed in Huayin, he led his Dajian soldiers to attack continuously, and he had captured Linjin, Wangcheng, and Ruixiang in the north of Huayin.
When Zhang Guang arrived in Huayin, Liu Xiongming and Zhang He were already in a hot fight, and Zhang He led Liu Xiongming to all the places around Huayin.
"Lord, it is completely necessary to build Tongguan on the loess dock in the southeast of Huayin, Tongguan is built, with the natural danger of Taihua Mountain and the Yellow River, the east gate of Guanzhong is really easy to defend and difficult to attack."
Liu Xiongming lay on the ground, pointing to the map spread out on the ground and reporting to Zhang Guang what he had learned from traveling around Huayin with Zhang He these days.
"However, there is one point, that is, Puhanjin in the north, from there you can also cross the river to the west, so after discussing with General Zhang He, I am going to establish a military base in Linjin, on the other side of Puhanjin."
Linjin?
Across the river from Kasakazu, it is indeed a good place.
Historically, in the Tongguan battle between Cao Cao and Ma Teng, Ma Chao, and Han Sui, Cao Cao asked Xu Huang to lead thousands of people to cross the Yellow River from Puhanjin to successfully defeat Ma Chao and others.
Xu Yuan didn't expect that Liu Xiongming had only been here for a few days, and when he looked around, he could see the importance of Pu Hanjin.
"Liu Xiongming, you go on."
"Well, if we establish a military base in Linjin, we can prevent the enemy from crossing the Yellow River from Puhanjin to the west in the east, and go north to west, we can contain Ma Chao, Han Sui, Guo Yan and others, and in the south, we can reinforce Huayin at any time."
"Between Huayin and Linjin, is it possible to build an official road that can be used for rapid marching?" Xu Yuan is worried about the problem of transportation.
"Well, there are a few places where it is more difficult to get through the official road, but there should be a way to solve it." Liu Xiongming seems to be very experienced and confident in road construction.
"Okay, since that's the case, let's act, Zhang He, you send someone to follow Liu Xiongming and survey the route well, as soon as I return to Chang'an, I will ask Wei Zhen to send someone to come here with money to help recruit workers."
decided on the affairs of the military base and Tongguan, Xu Yuan's headache came, and he promised Zhang He to be responsible for the garrison of Tongguan.
And judging from Zhang He's time in Huayin, Zhang He's performance is indeed worthy of recognition.
Not only did he not let go of Jia Xu, the great strategist, but also made Huayin's Tuntian impressive, and in less than two years, Huayin would basically be self-sufficient.
What's even more valuable is that Zhang He even took the time to advance north and captured Linjin and other places, so that although the Ninth Army had not captured the entire Guanzhong region and Liangzhou, the Western Regions and other places, it had basically cut off the exchanges between these places and the Central Plains and other places.
As long as you choke these levels and capture these places, it's only a matter of time.
"Lord, haha, Huo Jun's matter, I have heard Liu Xiongming say, since it is the general who guards the customs in the eyes of the lord, I am absolutely convinced, to be honest, I still think that my Dajian is more suitable for attacking fortified positions, destroying people's cavalry, seizing people's city-states, and more suitable for the character of our northerners."
Seeing that Zhang Guang was embarrassed there, Zhang He knew what Zhang Guang was embarrassed about, and the lord could be embarrassed because of a promise he had made to him, which proved that the lord cared about himself very much, otherwise, a military order would be solved, and there was no need to come to talk to him about this matter.
"Zhang He, since you talked about the battle, do you want to try to destroy Guo Yan?"
"Lord, do you want to move Guo Yan?" Zhang He didn't expect Zhang Guang to start fighting these Xiliang Iron Riders' ideas.
"Well, you tell me what you think first." Zhang Guang asked Zhang He rhetorically.
"Guo Yan is now entrenched in the east of Zuo Hongxiang, and has reached an alliance with Han Sui and Ma Teng in Liangzhou, if we go north to attack Guo Yan on a large scale, I am afraid that it will cause Han Sui and Ma Teng to counterattack with all their might."
"Well, this possibility does exist, but I will create the illusion that our Ninth Army is about to attack Ma Teng in Liangzhou on a large scale, and when the time comes, if Han Sui goes to reinforce Ma Teng, you can take the opportunity to destroy Guo Yan."
"What if Han Sui doesn't go to reinforce Ma Teng?" Liu Xiongming interjected on the side.
"That's better, Ma Teng and Han Sui, a pair of brothers of the opposite sex, have been staging a scene of separation and integration over the years, if Ma Teng is in trouble, Han Sui does not help, there will be a dispute between the two, and at that time, not only Guo Yan, I will let Zhao Zilong and you Zhang He work together to clean up Han Sui."
Zhang He and Liu Xiongming glanced at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.
The lord is still the lord who is not a hit, and he is a blockbuster.
If they can seize the territory occupied by Han Sui and Guo Yan, then the entire Guanzhong region will be under the control of the Ninth Army.
"Not only Guo Yan and Han Sui, but also Ma Teng, we will also fight sooner or later, Ma Teng's son Ma Chao, I have been staring at it for a long time."
"There are also Southern Xiongnu, Western Regions, Dawan, Wusun, these places will be taken sooner or later, these places used to belong to our land of Kyushu, and we have to take them back."
"My lord, do you want to keep out the princes of the Central Plains, Shunan, and Jiangdong according to the natural danger of the Yellow River, and then develop all the way to the west and north to capture this vast and barbaric land?" Liu Xiongming asked.
"That's right, the people of Kyushu today are in dire straits, and our Ninth Army does not have the strength to unify Kyushu for the time being and save the people from the dire situation, so we will slowly develop our own strength first, and then attack the entire Kyushu in one fell swoop after it becomes stronger."
At critical times, you must occasionally talk to your subordinate generals about your prowess, and only in this way will these fierce generals be convinced of you.
If you follow a lord who is easy to be content and does not seek to improve, it is impossible for a real fierce general to truly surrender to you.
It is true that all the princes are currently limited to the victory or defeat of the first battle, and to the competition for one city and one place.
Zhang Guang's eloquence and far-sightedness completely conquered Zhang He and Liu Xiongming.
What kind of ideal is this?
This is to be a god between heaven and earth.
Even Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, did not do Zhang Guang's step, if he can really follow Zhang Guang to do it, then what is waiting for him to conquer is definitely a world that makes people feel excited when they think about it.
"Zhang He, the main thing you need to do next is to train your own warriors well, and at the same time, cooperate with the special operations personnel sent by Gan Ning to find out the specific situation of Guo Yan and Han Sui."
"Understood!" Zhang He's heart was agitated, and he got up and answered loudly.
"I estimate that it won't be long before Huo Jun will come over and take over Huayin, you don't have to withdraw to Chang'an, quietly nest in the military base in Linjin, and don't let anyone notice you."
"Hmm!"
"Liu Xiongming, you have a lot to do, the military base, the official road, Tongguan, build it as soon as possible."
Liu Xiongming didn't say anything, and directly lay on the map on the ground and began to draw and write.
