Chapter 290: Cultivation
Say it and stop it!
Fa Zheng squinted at Zhuge Liang, who was stretching out his hand to pull his embroidered arm, his eyes sank, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly smiled on his face, so he didn't say anything.
"Filial piety, Kong Ming, you are ......"
Seeing this, at this moment, not only Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, was stunned, but even Liu Ba, who had a Chinese character face on one side, was also stunned.
What are you two doing?
Playing a double reed?
After half ringing.
The military general Zhuge Liang's face was solemn, and his eyes blinked faintly at Liu Bei, as if he had something to say but wanted to say it......
After looking at it, Liu Bei's mind changed rapidly, and after thinking for a moment, he said with a smile: "Xiaozhi, Zichu, you should also retreat for the time being, and go back and think about how our army should deal with the attack of Qianghu." ”
"Tomorrow's hall meeting!"
"No!"
As soon as the words fell, the ministers stood with their hands and said in a deep voice.
In the next second, several people left slowly, and Zhuge Liang waved a fan as if he was striding at the end, looking at the ministers from a distance who had left the study for a long time, and then suddenly turned back!
"Hello to the lord."
"Kong Ming, what do you have a plan?"
"Looking at the filial piety just now, he has already made a plan, but you grabbed him, do you want to say something to me alone?"
Looking at Zhuge Liang who turned back, Liu Bei's face was indifferent, and there was no surprise at all, as if he had expected it, his face was happy, and he said in a deep voice.
"Hmmm......"
"The lord also saw that filial piety has a good strategy?"
After being stunned for a while, Zhuge Liang folded his fan and said.
"Filial piety is resourceful, and our army was able to defeat the Cao thief in the battle of Hanzhong last year, all thanks to his strategy!"
"I think that the little Qiang Hu will also be determined to be filial piety."
After speaking, Liu Bei's face was firm, and his face also had a trace of confidence in Fa Zheng.
Obviously, Fa Zheng is like his spiritual pillar!
In fact.
Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang are very similar to Xun Yu and Guo Jia.
Xun Yu was a key decision-maker in Cao Cao's early years.
If Xun Yu hadn't been able to promote Cao Cao's talents, stabilize the rear and control the center, how could he safely fight abroad without worrying about changes in the rear?
At this point, Zhuge Liang also has the shadow of Xun Yu.
In the Hanzhong War, Liu Bei defeated Xiahou Yuan on the front line, and then held Yangping Pass with Cao Cao for more than two years.
The "enough food and enough soldiers" contained in the history books is enough to explain Zhuge Liang's exploits.
Replaced by Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, he was one of Cao Cao's confidants and advisers in his early years, and he must bring him in almost every battle, and every battle can boost Cao Cao's morale.
In terms of official history, the most important thing for Guo Jia to Cao Cao is not to give advice.
In fact, purely in terms of advice, Guo Jia may not be comparable to Xun You and Jia Xu, and even Cheng Yu and Liu Ye can be on par with him!
But Guo Jia has the advantages that Cao Ying does not have.
That's affection.
Who can have Cao Cao's goodwill to Guo Jia?
That's his strength.
Guo Jia is good at figuring out Cao Cao's thoughts, and not only that, but he can also choose the strategy that is most in line with the current implementation of his army from one decision after another.
Don't look at it as just a trivial thing.
can carefully figure out the emperor's mental skills, which is often the key to judging whether a strategist can be favored and respected by the king.
Wasn't the relationship between Guo Jia and Cao Cao's monarch and minister also certified?
The Chibi army was defeated, why did Cao Cao sigh in his heart, saying that if Guo Fengxiao was there, he would not be defeated?
This point is not the embodiment of ability, but precisely the status, or the factor that is valued in the heart.
How could good ministers like Jia Xu and Xun Yu not see the crisis of the Eastern Crusade?
Jia Xu also dissuaded him, but he couldn't stop it!
This shows that in Cao Cao's heart, his height is not enough......
The same history continues.
Yiling was defeated, Zhuge Liang also seemed to be possessed by Cao Cao, and sighed greatly, if his words and filial piety are there, he will be able to dissuade the lord from going to the east, even if he can't be dissuaded, he will not be defeated!
Why did Zhuge Liang explain this?
Could it be that he is not confident and feels that he is inferior to the Fazheng?
Of course none of these are any.
It is precisely the status of the mind, the height of the problem......
It's not about the embodiment of competence.
Since Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, he has always been the center and core figure of Liu Bei's army.
He is indispensable!
Liu Bei also has great respect and trust in him, there is no doubt about it.
From the later White Emperor Tuogu, one or two can be seen.
After returning from Fazheng halfway, Liu Bei's inner dependence on him was the same as Cao Cao's for Guo Jia.
Didn't Zhuge Liang dissuade Liu Bei's eastward expedition?
Then Liu Bei's resolute determination persuaded him?
Then why would hindsight think that Fa Zheng could persuade him?
Don't say anything about "hindsight", this is a kind of inner height problem.
High ability is not necessarily valued.
If you have low ability, you don't necessarily have no future!
The most typical is Sima Yi, whose ability can be regarded as all-round, right?
But during the Cao Cao period, did he come out?
What ability does Huang Hao have, but in the later period, he is still a villain, calling for wind and rain in the court, and bringing disaster to the country and the people.
Back to Xun Yu, when it comes to importance, ten Guo Jia can't compare to one Xun Yu, but when it comes to the degree of intimacy, it's the other way around!
Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng are the same.
Since ancient times, courtiers have not been treated by their bosses, and their ability is far less important than their thoughts.
"What the lord said is very true!"
When the words fell, Zhuge Liang also praised with a smile on his face, and then said: "Filial piety is indeed a last resort, and Xiao Xiaoqiang Hu can't defeat him, but Liang thinks that the lord should still give his juniors a chance." ”
"Junior?"
"Kong Ming, what do you mean......?"
The face full of doubts was stunned for a while, and suddenly reacted, with a happy face, and said, "Kong Ming, are you talking about Ping'er?" ”
"Yes!"
After hearing this, Zhuge Liang also smiled and nodded with a smile.
"Indeed!"
"Some time ago, Pang Lingming unfortunately committed a serious crime, and Ping'er inevitably gossiped among the ministers and the people, talking about the law of my Han Dynasty and using power for personal gain, without any justice, and consciously atoneted his own official title to atone for his crimes, so that the lord would demote him to a concubine."
"But Ping'er's ability must have been discovered by the lord."
"For a long time, he has been a human being, and even if he wants to participate in many core events, he is powerless!"
Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang's eyes were outstanding, as if he was extremely bright, and said in a deep voice: "Not only that, although Yun Chang is still sitting in the land of Jingxiang now, but one day, this great position still needs to be inherited." ”
"But looking at our army, among the two generations, there are outstanding people who can take charge of themselves, and only Ping'er is at present, after all, he has followed Yun Chang's strong soldiers and horses, fought in the south and the north for more than ten years, and has experienced a hundred battles and has much more experience in the battle array."
"On the other hand, most of the others are still fledglings, and they all still need to be trained, but what our army lacks most at present is time."
A voice slowly fell.
For a while, Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, couldn't help but lean on the throne and ponder this sentence carefully.
Seeing that he was still pondering, Zhuge Liang continued with a smile: "So, in Liang's opinion, this time Qianghu's large-scale invasion of the realm, although it is a danger for my big man, it is not a turning point if it is used well. ”
"An opportunity for Ping'er to be reborn and reinstated, it will also be an opportunity for our army to enter the land of Liangzhou."
When these words fell, Liu Bei weighed for a moment, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Kong Ming, do you mean that our army can take this opportunity to expand the military power to the Liangzhou area and prepare for the Northern Expedition?" ”
"Exactly."
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang showed affirmation.
"It's just that, according to Wen Chang's letter, this time Qianghu is not good!"
"Our army is still in the recovery period of strength, and the results of the battle in Hanzhong have not yet been fully digested, and rashly engaging such a strong enemy may allow Cao's army to enjoy its success."
At this time, Liu Bei couldn't help but hold a letterhead on the desk in front of him and said worriedly, with a worried look on his face.
After that, Zhuge Liang smiled at the bottom of the stairs, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "The lord doesn't have to worry so much!" ”
"Although Qianghu has a strong army, according to Liang, it is just a group of rabble, and it is easy to destroy!"
"At present, Liang and Xiaozhi have a good plan to break the enemy, but we still need Ping'er to perform meritorious service, so that he can resume his position as soon as possible and go further, so this time we will all remain silent and completely give up to Ping'er's performance."
At this moment, Zhuge Liang was full of smiles and said with great confidence!
At this moment, in the eyes he showed, it really seemed that he didn't take Hu Ren in his eyes.
"Kong Ming, do you think Ping'er can really come up with an excellent strategy to break the enemy?"
"After all, the Qiang people have lived in the cool land for a long time, and they have been brave and ruthless since they were children, and their combat power is strong, if our army fights the enemy, it is obviously in the hands of the Cao army, and this move is not a wise move!"
"Obviously, Cao Jun persuaded the Qiang people to invade the territory, and his intentions were sinister, and the purpose was to consume the strength of our army."
The words of the banquet were all filled with Liu Bei's heartstrings, worried, anxious, and unconfident.
"Lord, don't you believe in Ping'er's ability?"
"Not really."
"Although Ping'er has indeed made great achievements and outstanding achievements in the past half a year, he is still too young, and I am still worried that he will be proud, thinking that Qianghu's combat power is as unbearable as Wu's army, but he advocates hard fighting."
"This move is not what our army wants!"
For a while, Liu Bei whispered, and there were traces of worry on his face.
Young is the most impulsive age.
Liu Bei knows this best.
In the past, he was also over twenty years old, and when he was the commander of Anxi County, he was indignant because he couldn't get benefits, and he whipped the superintendent.
It was precisely because of the experience that Liu Bei was worried at this time that he would leave this matter to Guan Ping in charge, and something big would happen!
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang waved his fan and smiled: "Lord, please relax, Liang thinks that Ping'er will not be so ignorant, and will lead the army to fight hard with the Qiang people." ”
"If he only knows how to fight hard, then in such a dangerous battle as Sui Jingxiang, I'm afraid he won't turn defeat into victory, and win after battle!"
"Of course, this battle is related to the safety of the community, and it is not sloppy at all, and the ministers such as Liang and Xiaozhi will not completely ignore it, and they will also guide Ping'er secretly."
Speaking of this, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger: "Experiencing this battle will not only allow Ping'er Guan to be reinstated, but also make him grow more rapidly." ”
"Fighting in a large army, this kind of opportunity is also hard to come by!"
In the end, Zhuge Liang's words were also solemn and firm.
When the words fell, Liu Bei's tense face finally let out a long breath, swept away his worries, and agreed.
"Good!"
"This time, Lone also took a gamble and entrusted Dahan Sheji to give Guan Ping a try."
"If he can defeat the Qiang thief at the lowest cost this time, then let Ping'er succeed Yun Chang and continue to sit in Jingzhou in the future."
When the words fell, Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, couldn't help but look calm, his fists were clenched tightly, and his face was full of heroism.
This time, through Zhuge Liang's persuasion, he seemed to have figured it out and cultivated Guan Ping as the second-generation leader of the revival of the Han Dynasty.
It is the so-called "twilight of heroes".
Although at this time, the five tiger generals are still alive, but the glorious years will always pass away with the passage of time.
But the revival of the Han Dynasty is not an overnight thing!
Cultivating talents is predestined......
At this moment, Liu Bei couldn't help but think more far-reaching, and muttered: "I'm afraid that in the future, this three-legged dispute will make a competition for talents." ”
At this point, he had no doubt at all!
As the veterans gradually fall lonely, who can be the leader of the second-generation generals who have risen?
Who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of nations?
This is something that must be considered as a king.
"What the lord said is true!"
"Among the three-legged standing, our army's power rises the latest, and its foundation is the weakest compared to Cao Wu, and the gap between the talent reserve and them is also extremely obvious."
"At present, our army can still have an advantage over them, but when the years wither one day, we will all get old?"
"Who will restore the Han family?"
"Who can provoke the big beams and protect the Han River?"
During the words, Zhuge Liang also talked with Liu Bei about the future at the same time, and even forgot about the imminent war.
In fact.
General Zhuge Liang has a good idea.
Although Qianghu was in the realm for a while, his combat power was strong and difficult to match, but after all, it was just a disease of skin moss, so there was nothing to worry about!
On the other hand, the future pattern of the world is the most important.
The reserve army of the future Han is the most worthy of attention.
The two talked slowly.
……
Kanfu.
Inside the room.
At this time, in a large room, the room that was more than a few feet wide was magnificent, and in a large room, there were also some small rooms that loomed in the air.
Merely.
This part of the small room does not occupy a lot of space!
As for the center of the guest room, there are shelves on both sides.
At present, several people are sitting in front of each other!
On the left, the older Pang De, Liu Jia and Deng Ai are sitting precariously.
On the right, it was Guan Xing and Zhang Bao who were the leaders, followed by Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang, and the two brothers were kneeling and sitting.
on the main seat.
At this time, Guan Ping was dressed in a military uniform, standing tightly above, his eyes looking down.
After groaning for about half a while, Liu Jiacai suddenly couldn't help it, couldn't help but look serious, and said loudly: "Young General Qiqi, you are asking me to rush back in a hurry, but is there anything important?" ”
This sentence has just fallen.
The rest of the people all turned their eyes and looked at Guan Ping in unison, seeing if he had anything to say!
"Major General, is there an emergency military situation?"
After a moment, Pang De's face was still serious, and he asked each other.
"Hmmm......"
After hearing this, there seemed to be a twitch on the gate plane above the main seat, and then he muttered for a moment before he whispered: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with Hanzhong, but I'm not sure what happened, it's purely guessing." ”
Since today, the streets have seen the hurried sentinels of the afterlife.
Guan Ping was suspicious at that time!
What could make the Sentinel so flustered?
Then he calmed down for a moment and went back home to think for a while, and then he remembered that the scout came from the north, and he suddenly realized that something might have happened in Hanzhong.
Otherwise, how could Wei Yan be allowed to go to such great lengths?
It must be known that Wei Yan was appointed as the general of Zhenyuan and the governor of Hanzhong, but if he put down his arrogance, General Cao led the crowd to attack and annex it, and Cao Cao personally attacked it and resisted it!
With his temperament, if it wasn't a real emergency, how could he ask for help from Chengdu?
After a long groan, Deng Ai's eyes moved slightly, his mind was thoughtful, and then he said: "Ai remembers that General Wei is quite arrogant, and since he is currently asking for help from the King of Han, the situation in Hanzhong must not be optimistic!" ”
"It's just that at present, the major general is still a white body and can't participate in the court meeting, otherwise he will be able to take the opportunity to ask for meritorious service."
Speaking of this, Pound on the side silently lowered his head.
He was really ashamed at this moment.
After all, he knows best how Guan Ping's official lord went down!
In order to save himself, he is willing to be punished instead of himself.
Wouldn't such a general be embraced?
To say that Pang De in the past, in fact, Guan Ping was more of a grace of knowing things, a kind of mind that did not discriminate against himself as a general.
Now he has sworn in his heart that he will be loyal to Guan Ping in this life, and he will not hesitate to shed the last drop of blood for him!
"Ugh."
"It's a pity for the big brother."
With a sigh, Guan Xing smiled wryly and sighed.
"Yes, yes!"
After that, Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong and others also echoed their words.
In the first place, seeing that they were all sighing secretly, Guan Ping couldn't help but cheer up, and waved his hand with a smile: "Brother Bao, Erlang, you don't have to be so worried!" ”
"Brother Wei doesn't regret this at all."
"What is an official? It's just fame and fortune, floating clouds! ”
"Could it be that these things outside the body can still be as important as General Lingming?"
"It is worth it for my brother to exchange the life of General Pang with the county marquis and miscellaneous generals, because with General Pang's martial bravery, he will definitely be able to shine and make contributions during the Northern Expedition of our army in the future."
The voice of the seat slowly settled.
At this moment, Guan Ping's complexion is extremely resolute and serious, and his words are also extremely strong!
The words are full of always exciting!
Everyone in the room couldn't help but be extremely refreshed when they heard it.
After listening to it for a while, Zhao Guang, the youngest of them, couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "My brother-in-law really cares about the Han family, and he always thinks about the interests of the Han family, and my brother admires it very much!" ”
After saying this, Zhao Guang also smiled innocently, and the face of the teenager was also like an innocent smile.
"The major general has an overreputation!"
"Virtue does not deserve such praise."
At this moment, hearing the words of this seat, Pound on one side was even more deeply touched, his eyes were touched, and there were faint tears on his face, and he said in a deep voice.
"General Ling Ming doesn't have to be modest."
"Since you are a general under my command, then you are my brothers, and you are like brothers, and this is what a general should do."
Saying that, Guan Ping smiled again: "Do you know what I admire the Lord the most? ”
When these words fell, everyone in the room couldn't help but look at them with surprised eyes.
Seeing this, he groaned for a while, and then said slowly: "What I appreciate most is the approachability of the lord!" ”
"Approachable?"
"Yes, why is the lord so charismatic?"
"It stands to reason that in the early years, the lord was displaced, and there were no soldiers, and there were only a few people such as his father, third uncle, and father-in-law, but the former princes of the world, Tao Qian, Gongsun Zhan, and others, such as Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde, all respected the lord and the public."
"Why?"
Speaking of this, Guan Ping's smile became thicker and thicker, and he said with a smile: "This is affinity, the lord treats people easily, not only with his father, the third uncle Enruo's brothers, but also with the people in Cao Ying, and has an unparalleled popularity, isn't this worth learning from?" ”
A word sprinkled on everyone's hearts like an invigorating agent.
For a while, everyone's hearts suddenly became hot!
Zhang Bao was first overjoyed: "Yes, yes, what my brother said is good!" ”
"Hmm...... Big brother's analysis is good. ”
"My brother-in-law can be described as a life coach."
Just a short effort.
Guan Xing, Deng Ai, Zhao Tong and others all praised happily.
Saying that, Guan Ping did not forget the matter, his face changed suddenly, and he changed from a smiling look to a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "The joke is almost over, and you have almost eased up, right?" ”
"Then let's cut to the chase."
After speaking, Deng Ai, Pang De and the others also looked solemn and thought carefully.
"Our army is currently garrisoned by more than 30,000 troops from Zhenyuan's general Wei Yan, and its strength can be said to be strong, at least compared to the elite of Guanzhong who suffered a big defeat at the beginning."
Guan Ping is not boasting about this, but it is true!
Originally, in the Hanzhong War, Cao's army lost its troops, and the most heavy loss was the Guanzhong army led by Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He.
Not to mention the loss of most of the soldiers!
In the Battle of Xiangfan, Guan Yunchang flooded the Seventh Army and shocked the Central Plains.
Cao Cao, the king of Wei, marched east from Chang'an to rescue.
To this day, most of the remnants of Guanzhong are county soldiers and some newly recruited new troops.
As for combat effectiveness......
The only team that can really be called elite is Zhang He and Guo Huai, who were lucky enough to be preserved in Hanzhong.
It is precisely because of this elite that Wei Yan in Hanzhong has no choice but to stick to the plank roads everywhere and build defenses on a large scale, instead of daring to act rashly!
Thinking of this, Guan Ping couldn't help but have a headache, frowned and said, "Could it be that the Cao army crossed the Qinling Mountains and invaded the territory of Hanzhong?" ”
"But this is not right, the military strength of Cao Jun Guanzhong is not necessarily stronger than our army, even if it is attacked by surprise, it is easy to counterattack with the military strength in the hands of General Wei, and it is completely impossible to send sentry cavalry back in a hurry to ask for help!"
"What went wrong?"
As soon as the words fell, not only Guan Ping fell into deep thought, but Deng Ai, who had always been flexible, also showed doubts and pondered for a long time.
"What's wrong?"
After thinking for a long time, Pound suddenly slapped his thigh, and hurriedly said, "Could it be ......?" ”
