In less than three months, Ping'er will definitely be able to reinstate his position. ”

"Not only that, maybe he will be able to ......"

When he wanted to speak, Zhuge Liang's expression became more and more confident, and he shook his fan and said softly.

"Kong Ming, do you think that Ping'er can not only make meritorious contributions in a short period of time, but also go further?"

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhuge Liang nodded with a smile.

……

Guanzhong.

Chang'an City.

At this time, I saw that the city wall around Chang'an City stood around and did not fall down through the ages, the city wall built of bricks and stones seemed to be as solid as a rock, at a glance, it seemed that the wall was several zhang high, and the thickness was about several zhang, which could be said to be really the city high wall thick.

Standing far away on the city wall, there are countless colors of confidence in my heart!

This is where the power of the former Han capital lies.

This ancient city, although it has been ravaged by the Xiliang Army, the Xiongnu and other Hu, has long lost its former style.

It can be used as the existence of the capital of the Han Dynasty.

This ancient capital is also a witness to the glory of the Han Dynasty once upon a time, the kind of northern attack on the Xiongnu, so that the Hu people do not pass the Yumen Pass, do not dare to cross the Lei Chi step, and hit the surrounding Hu happy.

It also witnesses that the Han Dynasty created the beginning of "all nations come to the dynasty".

This is the charm of the ancient capital!

Although it has gone through ups and downs, it still endures.

General Anzai's Palace.

Lobby.

At this moment, the surrounding area of the lobby is bright and magnificent, and the area is wide, and it is even more brilliant.

On the main throne was a young man about 7 feet 5 in his thirties, sitting straight up.

This young man is also very familiar!

It was on the banks of the Bishui River more than half a year ago that he defeated the captured general Xiahou Nan.

Originally, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, ordered his son Zhangdu to supervise Guanzhong and garrison Chang'an.

But since he decided to lead the elite troops to the north, because Xiahoudun wanted to personally control the Wei Palace, Cao Ren looked around the Central Plains states, but it led to a vacancy in the western defense line.

After some weighing, Cao Cao appointed the general of the clan, Xiahou Nantun, to march Chang'an.

To be honest, Cao Cao has always had the most fatal flaw.

That is the clan is greater than the sky!!

This can be seen in three things.

First, after recovering Hanzhong, Cao Cao's army withdrew, and the ministers unanimously elected Han Hao as the county guard of Hanzhong, but he tried his best to override public opinion, and let Xiahou Yuan, the governor of Hanchuan, and Guanzhong supervise all the generals.

This also led to the later loss of Hanzhong, and the army was defeated and killed.

Second, during the Battle of Xiangfan, after the flooded Seventh Army captured Yu Ban and Pang De, Cao Cao actually intended to let his son Cao implant the military governor Xu Huang and other generals to rescue the front line of Fancheng.

What is Cao Zhi's ability?

If it weren't for his own greed and self-abandonment, it is estimated that Xiangfan would fight, and I am afraid that he would really lead the army to rescue.

Third, especially Xiahou has been in the army for decades, almost every battle will be defeated, and he will definitely be disgraced, but in fact, above the officials, he is still above the civil and military ministers.

There are a lot of defeats, but the officials are also rising very fast.

Cao Cao's sense of closeness to him is also extremely strong!

As Xiahou Yuan stood upright, he stretched out his fine eyes and slowly looked around the civil and military generals in order around the hall, and then suddenly said: "Gentlemen, it has been nearly a month since the King of Wei led the elite of Wei to the north, and it has been some time since I went to Chang'an. ”

"But recently, according to the in-depth investigation of the border, it has been discovered that the Shu army located in Hanzhong is actually a frequent dispatch of sergeants, and the King of Wei, who is the Taishou of Hanzhong, is also shrinking and gathering troops."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look around, frowned slightly, and said, "I'm afraid...... I am afraid that there is a great possibility that the Shu army will invade our territory. ”

"After all, at present, the King of Wei is still competing with Zhuhu on the front line of northern Xinjiang."

"Since we are deeply responsible, we should take precautions and strangle the conspiracy of the Shu army to invade the territory in the cradle in time, so as not to distract the King of Wei and them."

After all, a middle-aged strong man over forty years old on the right side of the hall, with a body of more than eight feet, a face like a crown of jade, although there are the slightest wrinkles and a beard that gradually turns white, it is still difficult to stop the beauty on this person's face.

This person is Mei Zhanghe, one of the five good generals.

"General Xiahou is extremely right!"

After speaking, Zhang He suddenly arched his hand and said: "Now the big-eared thief has already sat firmly in the land of Bashu, and the banner he is holding is also that the Han and the thief are not separated, and the royal industry is not partial." ”

"Obviously, the big-eared thief regards the King of Wei as the enemy of the first class."

"This move is almost obvious, as long as Jiangdong Sun Quan does not make too extraordinary moves, the big-eared thief will definitely mobilize a heavy army out of the Qinling Mountains and cut down the land in my Guanzhong, so as to fulfill his long-cherished wish to return to the old capital."

After the words fell, Zhang He slowly muttered for a moment, then faced the crowd and shouted sharply: "Therefore, the last general is very much in favor of General Xiahou's idea, and we must take the initiative to attack and crush the Shu army's attempt to attack." ”

"We must firmly hold the initiative in the war in our hands."

A seat fell.

At this time, a man in his thirties on the other side in a green shirt couldn't help but smile and said slowly: "But General Zhang, if you want to take the initiative, how easy is it?" ”

"Back then, King Wei could be said to have mobilized more than 100,000 heavy troops to cross the 800 miles of Qinling Mountains, which were full of mountains and steep mountains, and it was extremely difficult!"

"We all thought that it would be extremely easy to wipe out the big-eared thief forces."

"But under a small Yangping Pass, the enemy army was able to rely on the unique terrain of the local area to defend the danger, and firmly blocked our army for several months, until our army was dragged out of food by the 800-mile Qinling Mountains, which had no choice but to lead to a fiasco!"

"Therefore, if our army wants to take the initiative, it can only be said that it is extremely difficult."

As soon as the words fell.

This voice resonated greatly.

"Yes, yes."

"The land of the Qinling Mountains is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is extremely difficult to cross."

"In my opinion, our army only needs to hold a few passages leading to Guanliang, and the enemy will not be able to attack it, and there is no need to risk a field battle with it."

"It's worth the cost!"

For a while, the ministers were all shocked, and they all spoke in a deep voice.

As these words fell, Xiahou Nan, who was above the head, was unwilling, looking at most of the ministers who were trying their best to stop them, and couldn't help but secretly let out a long sigh.

He actually has big ambitions at this time!

He was ordered to sit in the important town of Chang'an, how could he really be willing to be unknown and not make an inch?

Even if the Shu army really attacked, so what?

Even if you stubbornly defend and repel the Shu army, how many merits can there be?

Only by taking the initiative to attack and achieving a great victory or a great strategic advantage can we make ourselves famous and rise infinitely.

For a while, he couldn't help but think of these things in his mind, and his face suddenly felt a little unkind, so his eyes were gloomy, and he didn't say a word!

Half-loud kung fu.

Xiahou Nancai suddenly looked at Zhang He below, couldn't help but look expectant, and asked: "General Zhang, you have lived in Guanzhong for a long time, you must be familiar with the local location, can you have a good strategy to deal with the enemy army in Hanzhong?" ”

After that, he waited quietly, and his eyes could be said to have high hopes for him!

After all, since Zhang He followed Cao Cao, the king of Wei, from Ma Chao five or six years ago, he had been following Xiahou Yuantun, the general of Zhengxi, in Guanzhong, and then in Hanzhong.

It can be said that Guan Liang, Hanzhong, and the land of Qinling Mountains, he should know everything about it.

The words fell, and for a while, Zhang He couldn't help but look pensive, half speechless, thinking slowly.

After a while, Zhang He seemed to think for a while, and only then did a slight smile appear on his face, he should have made up his mind, so he bowed and saluted, and said loudly: "General Xiahou, everyone, according to Zhang's muttering just now, it is imperative for our army to completely send sergeants to block Hanzhong through the Qinling Mountains and arrive at several major plank roads in Guanzhong. ”

"It's a safe bet!"

"After all, our army taking the initiative to attack cannot guarantee 100% success, but the land in Guanzhong cannot be lost, otherwise our army will be in danger!"

After speaking, he pondered for a while, and then said again: "The second point is that our army should always mobilize the whole army to be in a state of combat readiness, implement external tightening and internal relaxation, and settle most of the main forces of all departments in important border towns, so as to prevent the Shu army from suddenly launching a surprise attack and catching our army by surprise." ”

"Secondly, our army should take the initiative to attack, and the military strength should not be too much."

"Why is that?"

When this last remark came out, the middle-aged scholar who had just spoken showed doubts on his face and asked: "I heard that Wei Yan, the Taishou stationed in Hanzhong, seems to be a violent temper and has an arrogant temperament, and once released wild words that if the king of Wei goes to conquer with all his strength, he will lead the people in Hanzhong to resist him!" ”

"If we send more than 100,000 troops to the south, he will definitely annex it!"

After that, the middle-aged scholar was a little worried, and said slowly: "Since this person is so arrogant, he must have good ability. ”

"General Zhang said, take the initiative to attack Hanzhong, but the army is getting smaller, and the prestige must be weak, so how to hit the enemy?"

A voice slowly settled.

"Hahaha!"

It's just that in the next second, Zhang He's face suddenly turned passionate and he couldn't stop laughing.

After laughing, he slowly asked: "It is precisely because Wei Yan's ability is not weak that Zhang will make this decision!" ”

"Hmm...... ...... General Zhang said this? ”

Seeing Zhang He's confident face, Xiahou Nan's face above became more and more suspicious, and he asked each other in words.

"Huh!"

"General Xiahou, everyone, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other."

"Even the monarchs know that Wei Yan is capable of good, then he must have also arranged the strongest defense line in the frontal defense line in Hanzhong, so the question is, you think that if you lead the army to go, who can break through the encirclement head-on?"

This voice resounded in the sky.

The words fell, and the ministers in the hall broke off their words and closed their eyes in contemplation.

That's it!

Almost no one dared to stand up and frankly admit that he could lead the crowd to defeat the defense line arranged by the Shu army in Hanzhong.

Wait for half a ring.

Zhang He looked around before he said in a deep voice, "Huh? ”

"Since you and the others all know that with the strong defense line in Hanzhong, even if you lead a large army to go, it will be difficult to break through?"

"Then why does our army have to spend so much energy, money and food, and go deep into Hanzhong without caring about casualties?"

As soon as he spoke, Zhang He said softly, his face still full of smiles.

At this time, all the ministers saw that Zhang He was so confident, and they couldn't help but ask each other in unison: "General Zhang, I don't know what your plan is?" ”

"Deal with the Shu army with a smaller army?"

The voice settled.

After the words fell, Zhang He looked at them a few times, smiled, and said loudly: "Zhang does have a strategy, but it is a dangerous move!" ”

"Therefore, I have been weighing in my heart whether it should be enabled."

"Go south to the Meridian Valley and attack Hanzhong!"

"Meridian Valley?"

"Meridian Valley!"

For a while, when the ministers heard this, they showed an ignorant look on one side, but their eyes widened on the other side, as if they were dumbfounded.

Most of the people who often live in Chang'an know the existence of the Meridian Valley.

But if it was transferred to Guanzhong by a person from the Kanto region, I wouldn't know.

After all, today's Meridian Valley is not actually a plank road, most of them are impassable roads, steep mountains, and even more precipitous mountain paths!

As far as this point is concerned, if you are not very familiar with the land of Qinling, it is indeed very unfamiliar!

After that, one side was dressed in a Confucian suit, wearing a crown and hat, about eight feet five long, the beard on his face had already turned gray, his sideburns were also gray, and his face was also covered with layers of wrinkles.

He was about 50 and 60 years old.

But even so, this old man who was almost a sixtieth birthday was still in good spirits, and his face was extremely energetic, without the slightest fatigue.

Obviously, this old man's body is still strong and well-maintained!

This is the famous calligrapher Zhong Xuan.

Of course, he is also a brilliant politician.

Once when Yuan Cao was confronted, it was he who summoned the Western Liang princes to join forces to the north and merge the state, and killed Guo Yuan, the commander of Hedong County.

Originally, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, took into account Zhong Xuan's age and had already transferred him to the court as Dali.

However, due to the organization of the elite northern expedition, there was a vacancy in Guanzhong.

And in view of Xiahou Nan's ability, it is difficult to ensure the safety of Guanzhong!

Therefore, Cao Cao not only asked Zhang He to do his best to assist, but also re-invited the old man Zhong Xuan to go out of the mountain and rushed to Chang'an together to assist in the garrison.

"General Zhang, ...... this?"

"Attacking Meridian Valley with a small force, I'm afraid this won't work, right?"

After speaking, Zhong Xuan's aged face still showed a hint of worry.

As soon as the words fell, at this time, not only the ministers were suspicious, but the main general Xiahou Nan also felt incredible, so he asked: "Well......?" ”

"Mr. Zhong, what's going on?"

"What's wrong with Meridian Valley?"

"Why are you talking about the color change?"

The words fell, and the rest of the crowd unanimously focused their eyes on Zhong Xuan's body.

Seeing this, Zhong Xuan's face couldn't help but loosen, and he chuckled: "Hehe! ”

"General Xiahou, Zhujun, you and others are not familiar with the geographical advantages of Guanzhong because most of them are coming from Guandong."

"Meridian Valley, in fact, is also a plank road to Hanzhong."

"Moreover, this plank road is very close to Chang'an, more than seventy or eighty miles southwest of Chang'an, and from this road to travel at most one or two hundred miles, you can bypass the important town of Hanzhong, the dangerous pass, and go straight to the south of Zheng, the county of the Hanzhong Plain."

"That ......"

"Mr. Zhong, isn't this an important place for God to help our army destroy the Shu army, why are you talking about it?"

For a while, Xiahou Nan was puzzled and asked again and again.

Hearing this, Zhong Xuan's face was gloomy, and he muttered: "Because this is not a way of money at all......"
