Chapter 278: Who Can Convince Qiang Hu?

No roads? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiahou Nan's expression became more and more confused.

What's going on here......

What about the surprise attack that Zhang He said just now......

At this moment, the ministers on both sides of the hall felt as if their minds couldn't keep up!!

Zhong Xuan, Zhang He, is this a contrarian tune?

Seeing this, Zhang He couldn't help but look around at the doubts on everyone's faces, probably knowing what the situation was, he couldn't help but smile, and said slowly: "This ...... Ladies and gentlemen? ”

"What kind of expressions do you have?"

After that, Zhang He seemed to be a little crying and laughing, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but say: "Actually, General Xiahou, everyone, he and Mr. Zhong have the same idea!" ”

"After all, we have been gathering in Chang'an for several or even decades, and we already know the geographical advantages in the middle of the pass, and we also know that the probability of success is too weak, but I also want to fight hard!"

"What if it works......"

In the last words, Zhang He's face was also solemn and his speech was low.

Obviously, even he himself is not sure of a surprise attack on Hanzhong.

After all, the key to the Meridian Valley was not to fight against the Shu army.

It's about how to fight the forces of nature?

How to get out of the Meridian Mountain Road, which stretches for hundreds of miles?

When the words fell, Xiahou Nan also felt that the six gods were masterless at this time, and he was panicked, so he had to ask: "General Zhang, are you sure that you must march to the Meridian Valley and attack Hanzhong by surprise?" ”

After the words fell, Xiahou Nan, who was on the main throne, heard Zhong Xuan's description of the topography and customs of the Meridian Valley, and he couldn't help but change his color!

Immediately after, his expression changed suddenly, and he stared at Zhang Hexiang tightly: "General Zhang, how many troops are you going to lead there?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Speaking of this, Zhang He slowly groaned for a moment, and couldn't help but stretch out three fingers and gesture, and said thickly: "Three thousand troops are enough!" ”

"Three thousand?"

This is the end of the table.

The middle-aged gentleman who retorted just now had a serious face and retorted: "General Zhang, we all know that you have always been flexible and changeable in the use of troops, and you are good at responding to changes with the same situation. ”

"The meridian can be passed, what about 3,000 troops?"

Thick words, a seat of horror.

The people around us change in an instant.

After Zhong Xuan told them about the terrain of the Meridian Valley just now, almost none of the people present at this time dared to underestimate this mountain path.

Seeing this, Zhang He's face suddenly became stern, and he said in a deep voice: "You are too worried! ”

"Actually, you should also understand."

"With the path of Meridian Valley, even if you lead 10,000 people, you can't talk about encountering a strong enemy, but you have to always worry about being ravaged by the power of nature and dying in vain."

"So why bother?"

The voice settled.

Zhang He's face was calm, and he stroked the long beard under his forehead.

Speaking of this, Xiahou Nan, who was on the main seat at the moment, had wide eyes and was completely godless!

He had completely lost his opinion and didn't know how to deal with it.

Although he is officially named General Anxi, if you want to talk about the ability to command troops, it is really ...... Unable to complain!!

If it weren't for Cao Cao's very close treatment of Xiahoudun, how could he be in such an important position?

Good at business, ignorant of military affairs.

This is the evaluation of Xiahou Nan in the history books.

In the original history, Prime Minister Zhuge was about to carry out the Northern Expedition, and Wei Yan, the governor of Hanzhong, played the meridian of the line, such as the story of Han Xin, and attacked Chang'an.

Wei Yan is quite a general!

With him guarding Hanzhong for more than ten years, how could he not know that the road in the Meridian Valley is steep?

But he still proposed it to Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, why is this?

This shows that he is extremely confident in his heart that the sneak attack will definitely succeed.

So what is the key to success?

In fact, Wei Yan was so confident that the Meridian Surprise Attack he proposed was because the main general guarding the pass at that time was the current Anxi general Xiahou Nan.

It was precisely because he knew that Xiahou did not know the ability of the soldiers, so he dared to make such bold statements.

Chang'an must be taken!!

Obviously, if the main generals in the town guarding the pass were generals like Zhang He and Sima Yi, how could Wei Yan still act like this?

Then he's really stupid.

And now!

At this time, Xiahou Nan was also hesitant, and was confused by Zhong Xuan and Zhang He, and after a pause, he said helplessly: "General Zhang, Mr. Zhong, I don't know how our army should act if it wants to calculate the Hanzhong Shu army?" ”

Hearing this, the two looked at each other and smiled by looking at each other!

Then, Zhang Hecai smiled, his eyes signaled to Zhong Xuan, and then Zhong Xuan understood, and explained with a calm and calm look: "Actually, General Zhang's plan is not only limited to surprise attacks. ”

"It's a combination of odd and positive, after all, the book of war says: those who are good at fighting, with the right combination, with odd victory, our army's expedition to Hanzhong, where the mountains and rivers are steep, this is the only strategy."

"Odd match?"

As soon as the words fell, the ministers couldn't help but whisper among themselves, and vaguely some of the ministers also began to stir up and talk in a low voice.

"This ...... How does this fit? ”

"General Zhang, most of the elites of our army stationed in Guanzhong have already gone to the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang with the second son, and now the counties and counties are only temporarily recruited county soldiers."

"It's okay to hold on!"

"But if you want to take the initiative to attack, I'm afraid you have a weak heart......"

For a while, the ministers couldn't help but tell Zhang He.

When the words fell, the previous scholar couldn't help but face Zhang He, and said in a deep voice: "What you say is extremely true! ”

"General Zhang, it is indeed difficult for our army to shake Hanzhong at present."

"I have to admit that the big-eared thief does have some ability to recognize people, and the enemy general Wei Yan was originally just an unknown young general, but Wei Yan has built complete defense facilities in all provinces of Hanzhong in the past six months after taking office."

"Ability is obviously not to be underestimated!"

Speaking of this, this soldier couldn't help but look more and more solemn, and said softly: "And our army's current military strength is limited, General Zhang should still act cautiously. ”

With that, the scholar retreated and remained silent!

Obviously, he has a calm heart, and feels that with the current Wei King Cao Cao has started the northern Xinjiang war, other aspects should also focus on defense!

It is not advisable to start the war lightly.

Otherwise, if the Shu army suddenly launches a full-scale war again, the war will change rapidly, and the situation on their own side will also be in danger in an instant!

Merely.

Hearing this, only a faint smile appeared on Zhang He's handsome face, so he smiled and said, "Haha! ”

"You're worried!"

"According to common sense, in today's situation, the best plan for our army should indeed be to focus on stability, and wait for the battle on the side of King Wei to make a decision after the victory or defeat is decided!"

"But as the saying goes, the battle is fleeting."

After speaking, he looked at Xiahou Nan, who was at the top, with a sigh in his eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "But General Xiahou's invitation to fight also reminded Zhang, in fact, our army does have the ability to take the initiative to attack." ”

"Although it is not possible to directly take Hanzhong with a large corps, it can start a local battle to consume the war potential of Hanzhong."

"You should know that after the King of Wei led the people to pacify Hanzhong, he gradually moved about tens of thousands of households in Hanzhong to the area of Ye County in batches, and Hanzhong gradually became a military fortress."

"It can be said that the people's livelihood in Hanzhong has already withered at that time, and although Liu Bei defeated our army last year, what he can get is just an empty shell!"

The words are down!

He looked around and said slowly: "In the past few months, as the military defense facilities in Hanzhong have gradually stabilized, the big-eared thieves have begun to gradually move the people of northern Shuzhong to Hanzhong, preparing to rebuild and restore the prosperity of Hanzhong. ”

"In the long run, our army is bound to prevent the Shu army from developing Hanzhong."

"Otherwise, once Hanzhong is developed, our army will face endless difficulties from the Shu army."

"This ...... And why, General Zhang? ”

Hearing this, Xiahou Nan could be said to be more and more confused, and couldn't help interrupting his words and asking.

In fact, since he was captured and released by Guan Ping in the Battle of Bishui last year, it has aroused the anger in his heart.

During this period of time, he has also repeatedly joined the army or consulted and communicated with veterans with rich experience in conquest.

In just a few months, in terms of progress alone, Xiahou Nan's words in military affairs are not standing still.

There is still progress!

Unfortunately, progress must be step-by-step, and this is not the case with war!

Therefore, with Zhang He's analysis at present, he is still a little confused, and he feels that his brain has not turned.

"Ahem...... Ahem..."

After hearing this, the old Zhong Miao on the side couldn't help but step forward slowly, and arched his hand: "This is going to involve the location." ”

"General Xiahou, the geographical advantage of Bashu is actually similar to the situation in Jiangdong."

"There is a saying that guarding the river must guard the Huai."

"However, because the Huaidi Jiangbei region has always been firmly controlled by our army, every time Sun Wu invades, he is at a disadvantage, and the situation is unfavorable."

"Hanzhong is a bit similar to the Huaidi of Bashu."

After speaking, he squinted at Zhang He, saw that he nodded secretly and motioned for himself to continue, so he continued: "As we all know, due to the dangerous terrain of mountains and rivers, the land of Bashu has led to many overlapping passes on the surface of this land, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack!" ”

"But the way of the world is just, there is a cause and an effect, and there are advantages and disadvantages."

"Although Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is precisely because of the barriers of mountains and rivers that this place is extremely closed and difficult to get in touch with the outside world."

"Therefore, the Shu division side is actually quite comfortable."

A seat fell.

Waiting for half a ring, Mo Mo muttered for about half an hour or so, Zhong Xuan's face couldn't help but become solemn for a while, and he said slowly: "But obviously, Liu Bei is eloquent, ambitious, and has the heart to encroach on the world, how can he nest in a quiet corner of the poor and remote land of Bashu?" ”

"After he digests and consolidates the results of the battle in Hanzhong, he will definitely raise the army to invade the north, and at that time it will definitely not be possible to rely solely on Bashu, and Hanzhong must be used as a springboard!"

"Because Hanzhong has extremely unique geographical advantages."

"First of all, it connects the Qinling Mountains in the north, and the Qinling Mountains will go directly to the land of Guanzhong, and secondly, the three counties of Handong can also be passed to the east, and the Jingzhou army on the Jingzhou side responds to each other and joins forces to deal with our army."

"Even, the northwest of Han is connected to Wudu and Yinping, once these two counties are captured, then our army Liangzhou will also be exposed to the Shu army at any time, and it will fall into a crisis, and it may be annexed at any time."

"It is precisely because of this the importance of Hanzhong to the Shu army...... In fact, it should be said that Hanzhong is extremely important to Liu Bei and cannot be ignored! ”

A seat fell.

When the first Xiahou Nan heard this, he slowly groaned, and then nodded secretly in agreement.

He just didn't know it just now, but now after some enlightenment, he basically understands it.

Immediately, he pondered a little, and then said in the direction of Zhang He: "Then General Zhang provides your marching plan, right?" ”

"Let's talk about it!"

With that, he stared at him expectantly.

Seeing this, Zhang He saw that Xiahou Nan was so solemn, so he didn't postpone it, and immediately put a smile on his face, instantly became serious, and said in a deep voice: "General Xiahou, gentlemen, Zhang's plan is actually very simple, not with the strength of our army!" ”

"It's with the help of Qianghu."

"Qiang?"

Hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but be slightly shocked again.

"Qiang people, how can this be used?"

The ministers were discussing, but the head Xiahou Nan was thoughtful, although he waved his hand to stop and asked: "General Zhang, tell me in detail." ”

"No!"

With a slap of promise, Zhang He couldn't help but bow his hand.

"With the help of the Qiang people, use their strength to invade Hanzhong and northern Bashu from Liangzhou, mobilize the main army of the big-eared thieves to the northern zone, and try to attract the main force of the Shu army."

"As long as the enemy army is attracted by Qianghu, then the opportunity for our army to surprise the meridian has come!"

"At this time, our army's marching meridian, as long as the road is not hindered by too much nature, then it will inevitably be able to surprise the plank road, like a divine soldier descending from the sky in the Hanzhong Plain, and instantly catch the Shu army off guard."

"As long as we can invade the hinterland of Hanzhong, although our army has only 3,000 troops and cannot conquer cities, it can gallop across the land of the Hanzhong Plain, looting population, destroying enemy defenses and farmland."

"Try to destroy their war potential."

A table of beaming words, about a quarter of an hour's effort, Zhang Hecai slowly finished speaking

After that, the middle-aged scholar looked pensive for a while, and then arched his hand and said, "General Zhang, this is indeed a good idea!" ”

"This move not only preserved the strength of our army, but also consumed the strength of the Qianghu and Shu armies."

"But I have a key question, and that is how to convince Qianghu to send troops?"

When the words fell, his face became heavy again, and he said slowly: "You should also know, I am from Liangzhou, I have lived in Liangzhou since I was a child, and I know that the Qiang people have lived in Liangzhou for a long time, the people are fierce, and their habits are unruly!" ”

"In the past few decades, the only people who can really drive Qiang Hu to use it are Dong Zhuo, Han Sui and Ma Teng back then, plus Ma Chao, who was beaten by King Wei a few years ago and fled to Shu."

"Other than that, no one can integrate Qianghu for use!"

"I wonder who can convince the Qiang people?"

The words settled, and the hall fell silent again.

That's really the most important thing!

If this problem is not solved, then even if the aforementioned solution is perfect, it will be useless.
