At night, Zhang Wen, Xu Zuo and others crossed the Shazhou Water Village with the transport boat and anchored in the Xuan Pond outside the water gate of Dengcheng.

In the early stage of the Xiangfan Campaign, Sun Quan gathered troops to attack Huainan, and Cao Ren transferred the Dunsai Water Division to Huainan to listen to Xiahoudun's moderation.

The price was heavy, and Cao Ren, who lost this water division to seize the Hanshui water conservancy and took the initiative to gather troops to attempt to attack...... was hit in the heart by Guan Yu against the trend, and almost threw his head on the south bank of the Han River.

At night, Tian Ji personally escorted Zhuge Qiao to the water, and he just arrived in Dengcheng by boat.

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Wen and the others arrived early, Tian Ji only felt extremely excited and joyful, as if God had helped.

Zhang Wen and Xu Zuo were immediately invited to discuss the matter, and as soon as they came, the map of Jingxiang was spread, and the atmosphere became tense directly.

Zhang Wen knew that there was something in the stargazing tower, and it was impossible for this thing to trigger the Han army to take the initiative to attack.

So looking at it now, Tian Ji's plan to lure Wenpin into going to war...... It's a bit slim.

"Among the stargazing towers, the nautical star chart is currently the most valuable, followed by the scholars who are studying. These officials were familiar with Zhou Tian Xingdou, and according to the public considerations, they wanted to be transferred to Lingnan and serve as navigators in various ships of the Henghai Navy. ”

Zhang Wen's tanned face did not have much emotional fluctuations, and he gave his opinion: "And Wen Zhongye is not sharp, and he is by no means a person who died for the Han family." If the general wants to provoke Wen Zhongye, it may be difficult to succeed. ”

I thought I could convince Tian Ji, but I didn't want Tian Ji's face to be different, so he asked in the same tone as usual: "When we fight together, who can prove that it was my hand?" ”

Xu Zuo, who was sitting on the side, bowed slightly, quite moved.

"Hehe, general, I still don't know people's hearts and are sinister."

Zhang Wen shook his head and laughed, laughing heartily: "If the general waves his troops to the south, Wen Zhongye will raise Xiangyang and beg to surrender...... What about the general? ”

Confrontation, friction, military conflict...... This requires the cooperation of the other party, and a slap does not make a sound.

As soon as Zhang Wen asked, Tian Ji immediately choked, his eyes widened with surprise, and then he raised his hand and patted his head: "Oops! After thousands of calculations, I missed this stubble. If this person is attached to the city, it will damage the credibility of the public. At that time, I will not be sorry to die! ”

Xu Zuo nodded, and he was also unwilling to say in a reluctant tone: "Yes, when I passed the Shazhou Water Village today, the guard general was Wen Zhongye's nephew, and he was very flattering to us. Alas, his nephew is like this, and he can also know his true heart. ”

Tian Ji was annoyed, took a sip of the teacup, and rolled his eyes: "Mr. Huishu is resourceful, can there be a good remedy?" ”

Zhang Wen shook his head solemnly: "I'm afraid the general is going to be disappointed, the servant is only a square talent, and he is not good at scheming and change." However, the general made more preparations, moved to the stargazing tower first, and then decided to plan after seeing Wen Zhongye's measures. ”

"Surprise the snake?"

Tian Ji thought of a verbal phrase of Tian Xin, if he couldn't find a poisonous snake, he would beat the grass to frighten him, and it was good to scare the snake away.

This is a proactive strategy, and there must be a supporting follow-up plan; Asking for directions with the stone is an idea.

"Exactly."

Zhang Wen emphasized the key point: "If the general wants to defend Nanyang, it is not conducive to the credibility of the public. Today, the heroes are vying to be attached, and the reputation of the public is unparalleled. If the war starts, although it damages the credibility of the public, it will be beneficial for the people of the world to enjoy peace as soon as possible. With the measure of the public, you can understand the general's mind. ”

"But if Wen Zhongye moves the city to annex it, will the general wave his troops and go straight to Jiangdu, or will he hold Xiangyang and not move? In any case, it is not good for the public. ”

Zhang Wen raised the warm teacup and took a sip, and Tian Ji slowly thought and comprehended.

Wenpin's position is very embarrassing, if Tian Ji provokes, creates friction, and expands the incident here, as long as the fight is bloody, then Wenpin will really be finished.

No one can keep him, and losing Wenpin and letting Wenpin bear the responsibility for all conflicts is the first choice to eliminate the civil war.

Therefore, if the imperial court does not want to fight a civil war and still wants to accept Nanyang peacefully, then Wen Ping will definitely die.

As for the things that Wen Ping has done over the years, with the heart of a general...... How can it be frivolous and not pursued?

When Cao Cao fought for Jingzhou, it was Jiangling, which was guarded by Wen, and directly gave Cao Cao both hands to this most important town. If Wen Ping took Jiang Ling to join the Han camp back then, his status would be second only to Guan and Zhang.

But Wen Ping didn't, and with Jiangling's soldiers, materials, and huge influence, he voted directly.

After Xiangfan, Ji Han's counteroffensive gained momentum, and Wen Ping followed Tian Yu to join the Han family.

Judging from the choice of the two critical moments, Wen Ping is a handsome man who knows the current affairs very well, cherishes and loves life very much, and is a pacifist.

There are two and there are three, this kind of relationship will be in the decisive battle of the real master of the world in the future, how will the civil appointment be chosen?

The more Tian Ji thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he felt that what Zhang Wen said made sense.

The general always asked Wen Ping to guard Xiangyang, probably because he expected Wen Ping's embarrassing situation, and he would take the initiative to surrender when he encountered a major event, directly avoiding the armed conflict between Beifu and the Han army.

Just imagine, he sent his troops across the Han River to seize Dashou Mountain first, while the defenders of Xiangyang under Wen Ping concentrated on Xiangyang desperately, and then surrendered en masse...... Where will there be military friction?

Without military friction, you can't bite back and slander the civil service; If there is no military friction, then the subsequent tail will have to be dealt with in other ways.

Therefore, it may be resolved peacefully after a lot of effort and tossing, and the reasons are all ready-made: it is clear that the Han generals are hired and led by the troops to be subsumed into the Beifu system...... It's just a reorganization within the Han army.

As for Wenpin's surrender, he led his troops to the Jiangdu area to cause friction...... This is not reasonable at all, the face is too big, there are so many people with heads and faces in Jiangdu, watching it, how can I have room to reverse black and white?

The only way to engage in military friction with neighboring civilian appointments is the only reasonable and reasonable 'border conflict' at present.

If Wenpin does not give this opportunity, then this conflict cannot happen.

The more he thought about it, the more he figured out the twists and turns inside, the more disappointed Tian Ji became.

Prince, everyone wants it.

He was originally a side lineage, and in the future, he will be ranked as a minister, and it is a matter of course to serve as the general and the great Sima of the new dynasty; But this is the king who has been passed down from generation to generation...... It's a little bit mysterious.

Only a convincing feat can bring a crown to future generations.

Tian Ji was irritable, drank all the tea in the teacup, chewed the tea leaves that had just been brewed and had a strong flavor in his mouth, and faintly grasped a little vein, but he didn't know where the key point was.

Suddenly, seeing Zhang Wen's calm appearance, he immediately suddenly said: "Mr. Huishu has insight into the hearts of the people of Xiangyang, I'm afraid there is a way?" ”

Xu Zuo also looked at Zhang Wen in surprise, and some didn't believe that Zhang Wen could think of such a strategy.

Zhang Wen bowed his head slightly and smiled: "This is not my plan, but Mr. Boyan's plan." The specific situation is still subject to the public ruling. The general does not need to worry, although he will cross the river tomorrow to get the stargazing tower, the rest should not worry. ”

"Well, that's all it had to be."

Tian Ji was very unwilling, swallowing the finely minced tea leaves, only feeling that the great merit passed by him.
