Chapter 424: Danger (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
"It's just a bunch of mediocre and incompetent people, so why bother."
In the face of Wang Xiao's persuasion, Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled, "You also look up to them too much." ”
"A dog jumps off a wall when he's in a hurry, and a rabbit bites when he's in a hurry. People are in a hurry, and they can really do anything. ”
Cao Cao, who became the king of Wei and had the power of the world, was very confident in himself.
"Dong Zhuo Lu Bu, Dong Cheng Yuan Shao. So many heroes were beaten down alone. What can these people be counted? Where is the courage of your hosts? ”
Wang Xiao sighed. I'm not afraid of anything, it's because I'm afraid that you'll be killed if you're too careless.
It is now very different from history. Let's partner to dig the foundation of the famous family, these heroes who have been rooted in the Han for hundreds of years are definitely not soft persimmons.
The local heroes of the Han Dynasty have a long history, and in the Liu Bang era, there were operations of migrating to various places such as Guanzhong and filling the imperial tombs. In order to prevent them from becoming big locally.
This strategy has always been implemented very well, and in the Western Han Dynasty, the place was strong and strong, and it has always been a fat pig to be slaughtered.
But when Wang Mang established a new dynasty, everything changed in an instant.
The Great Magister, the son of the plane, is able to summon meteorites to bombard opponents with Liu Xiu. In order to obtain sufficient strength, the powerful forces of various places were borrowed on a large scale.
And because of the chaotic war, the local tyrants who lost their suppression also began to develop savagely.
By the time the Eastern Han Dynasty was established, there was no way to suppress the local tyrants.
After that, successive emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty tried to suppress Haoqiang, but whether it was the reuse of relatives or the reuse of eunuchs, it failed to work.
By the time of the Second Emperor Huan Ling, those top heroes had turned into a family of gate valves. There are many talents in the family and the power is huge.
These famous families with hundreds of years of history are definitely not easy to deal with.
In history, Cao Cao also attacked them, but the strength was far less powerful than now. Popularization and indoctrination, giving the poor family a chance to overthrow the family or anything.
And later, Cao Pi also came up with the Jiupin Zhongzheng system to appease the family, and he was completely tied to the family.
What is the final ending, the clothes are in the south, ten rooms and nine empty. The rest of the story can't be said again.
"Then at least the tiger and leopard ride must be left behind." Compared with Xu Chu, Wang Xiao wanted to leave the main force of the tiger and leopard rider to protect Cao Cao.
It doesn't take much, with two thousand tigers and leopards riding by his side, Cao Cao will definitely not be in any danger.
"I don't need to." Cao Cao waved his hand a little impatiently, "Lonely in the world, how can you care about these young people." How are you mother-in-law, mother-in-law, go and do your thing. ”
Wang Xiao had to persuade again, but Cao Cao, who came out of the rebellious mentality, simply turned around and left.
When Cao Cao was young, he dared to kill the uncle of the eunuch Jian Shuo. After that, he followed the army to exterminate the Yellow Turbans, tried to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and swept away the heroes to unify the north.
He has done many major things, including the assassination of Dong Zhuo and the battle of Wancheng.
In his opinion, the family has no soldiers in their hands, even if they are rich and powerful, what can they do. Are there still fewer civil and military officials killed by him?
The reason why the step-by-step design did not directly eliminate them was because they did not want to cause too much vibration and cause chaos.
As for what Wang Xiao said, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry or something. He also has three hundred tigers and leopards by his side, and with them by his side, he is really not afraid of anything.
The premise is that no one of their own people is willing to do internal response.
Wang Xiao bid farewell to the reluctant Zhen Mi and Guo Zhao, and marched towards Tongguan with tens of thousands of troops.
If you go to Tongguan, you will pass by Luoyang City. This thousand-year-old capital was once the capital of the Eastern Han Empire.
As the most prosperous city in the world, the city is now lifeless.
Back then, Dong Zhuo set a fire and directly burned Luoyang City to ruins. Even after years of reconstruction, it remains a desolate scene.
Wang Xiao paused his horse, looked around and raised his hand.
"Luoyang is located in the Central Plains, with mountains and rivers. The west is based on the Qinling Mountains, and the letter valley is Qinchuan in Guanzhong. It is bordered by Songyue in the east, Taihang in the north and the risk of the Yellow River. Looking at the barberry in the south, there is the rao of Wanye. The rivers and mountains are arched, and the situation is the best in the world. ”
Outside Luoyang, Wang Xiao described the topography of Luoyang. It is not for nothing that so many dynasties have chosen this place as the national capital.
This is the real hinterland of the Central Plains, extending in all directions.
"Zijian Gongzi, don't you have any thoughts about here in Luoyang?" Xu Shuce, who came out with the army, immediately stepped forward and asked curiously.
Wang Xiao left Pang Tong, Yang Xiu and others to stay in Yecheng, but he took Xu Shu out of Guanzhong by his side.
He has always liked those outstanding strategists in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I really want to have the kind of chic person who has something to do and has nothing to drink.
Although Cao Cao sent Xun You over this time, Wang Xiao always felt as if he had a mind, and he was restless all day long.
Glancing at Xun You and the others in the distance, Wang Xiao whispered, "If you have the opportunity in the future, you must move the imperial court back to Luoyang City." ”
Xu Shu looked pleased: "Childe's words are very good." It's just that the Dong thief is hateful, and a fire burned Luoyang City to the ground. It takes a lot of investment and energy to regain the prosperity of the past. ”
Wang Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed at him, "When we come back from Pingdingguan, this matter will be handed over to you Yuanzhi." ”
Xu Shu's military strategy is good, but it is not a top level. His government affairs ability, Wang Xiao has been admitted to the school during this time, and he is much stronger than his military strategy.
In fact, he is similar to Zhuge Liang, both of whom have stronger government affairs ability than military strategy.
As for the one who really plays the military strategy, it has to be a ghost like Guo Jia.
And Jia Xu is like that, he was born to play yin X.
Pang Tong's words, Wang Xiao can't see it for the time being.
His political ability is not bad, and he is okay to play yin. As for the military strategy, because it was hung up just after it came out in history, there is no reference. If you want to test his strength, you have to wait for the opportunity.
After a short rest in Luoyang, arrange for Manpet to establish a logistics transit base here. Only then did Wang Xiao lead the army to continue westward.
Tongguan is located on the loess plateau, and the name of this plateau is Lintoe Plain.
Like the Chousang Plain, where Hanguguan is located, it is flat at the top and extends from the Qinling Mountains to the banks of the Yellow River.
On the east side of the ridge is a deep gully called Yuanwang Ditch, and on the west side is a deep gully called Forbidden Gully.
Under the perennial rain, the walls have already become like knives.
Soldiers and horses coming from the direction of Hangu Pass, if you want to pass through the Lintoe Plateau, you must first climb to the top of the plateau, and then go down to the forbidden ditch. Then follow the Tongshui to the Tongshui, the confluence of the Weishui and the Yellow River to enter the Guanzhong. Therefore, the Hantong Pass was built on the road that must be passed through the lower plateau.
The march and combat pay attention to the time and place, and Tongguan is the location here.
As early as a few years ago, Cao Cao sent troops to occupy this place. Thus the choke point in and out of the customs is stuck.
Otherwise, if Ma Chao and they occupy this place. If Wang Xiao wants to attack Tongguan, he will have to pay a huge price.
The combat effectiveness of the Western Liang Army is very strong. Moreover, it is much easier to attack Tongguan from the side of Guanzhong than from Kanto.
Before Wang Xiao's army arrived, Tongguan was already a little precarious.
However, with the arrival of reinforcements, Tongguan immediately turned the corner.
Wang Xiaotun soldiers at Tongguan and fought with the Kansai Army on the other side of the river.
Most of the things in the military strategy are from Xu Shu's hands. As for the military advisor who is sacrificing wine Xunyu, he is not in a state at all.
The whole day was muddy, as if I was in a state of mind.
Wang Xiao asked him about his military strategy, but he didn't know what he was talking about.
This kind of performance of being completely out of state made Wang Xiao wonder in his heart. This guy must have something very serious on his mind.
When fighting with Ma Chao, Han Sui and others, Wang Xiao did not forget to pay attention to the movements of Yecheng and Xu Du.
When he learned from Pang Tong's letter that Cao Cao actually left Yecheng and went south to Xu Du to try Ma Teng, he was shocked and even knocked over the case.
These days, he is also restless, and always feels like something big is about to happen.
After breaking 100 in mental power, Wang Xiao believed in his intuition very much. Now when I see this, I can't help but get angry.
"Xu Du has now become the base camp of the family, and there are people who oppose the prime minister everywhere. With only more than 1,000 people around him, he went to Xudu. When everyone else is dead! ”
Xu Shu hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, son. Xu has tens of thousands of garrisons, and those who oppose the prime minister have no soldiers and no power, and they can't become a climate. ”
Wang Xiao laughed angrily: "Whose hands are Xu Du's soldiers and horses in?" It's in Cao Pi's hands! If he had made up his mind, hum. It is true that the famous family has no soldiers, but they have money and food! If you have money, you can recruit rangers, and if you have food, you can pull up a team. No, reinforcements must be sent immediately. ”
Hearing Wang Xiao say this, Xu Shu was directly anxious, "No!" Zijian Gongzi, without an edict, how can he transfer troops and horses to return at will. No one will obey orders. ”
In ancient times, the strictness of the precautions against military generals was simply outrageous.
Because the generals are out with a large army, if they have any other thoughts, it will really be a catastrophe.
So like Wang Xiao, it's no problem to lead a large army to fight the enemy on the front line now. But if you send your troops back to the rear, God knows what you're going to do?
"Zijian Gongzi, don't say anything else. The large army retreated in front of the formation, and the Kansai coalition army on the opposite side would definitely chase and kill them. It is not impossible for the whole army to collapse at that time. ”
In military history, there are countless cases of the collapse of the whole army and the annihilation of the whole army because of improper handling during the retreat.
There are many people who march and fight, and do well. may be properly arranged to retire from the army, that is the real talent.
Wang Xiao calmed down, and knew in his heart that what Xu Shu said was the truth.
Even if he is the main general, and he is also the son of King Wei. It is possible to withdraw troops without definite information, and even to return to the rear in a hurry. The generals and strategists in the army, it is estimated that everyone has to wonder what he is trying to do.
After walking around the military tent with his hands behind his back a few times, Wang Xiao paused and instructed Xu Shu, "Go and invite General Cao Chun quickly." ”
Cao Chun is the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the tiger and leopard cavalry suffered a lot of losses from the plague in Jingzhou, and it has not been replenished until now.
Wang Xiao also figured it out, counting the effort of delivering letters, it was too late for the army to return now.
All he could do was to send a tiger and leopard rider who had traveled 300 miles a day to gallop at a fast pace to see if he could catch up.
