Ma Butong sighed all day long, Tang Yuan always felt that this was not a thing, in case Ma Butong knew the truth, what would it be?

"Tang Hu, I'll give you money, you go to the city to buy a beautiful girl and give it to Ma Butong."

"I'm buying him a girl? Are you sick when I do? Tang Hu shook his head: "I'm not going." ”

"Are you scolding me around the corner?" Tang Yuan walked over and grabbed Tang Hu's ear, Tang Hu broke free and ran away.

Tang Yuan turned his head and looked at Nalan Xin.

Nalan Xin is a smart person and doesn't have to say much.

Nalan Xin stood up and said, "I'd better go, find someone who can speak well, preferably our dark stake." ”

Tang Yuan smiled: "That's a little difficult. ”

Tang Yuan felt that this matter was very difficult to do, so he went to find a woman casually, let this woman accompany another man to share the same bed, and he had to obey his words when he turned around, it was not through the meticulous work of harsh cultivation, it was difficult to do. He didn't have much hope for this, so he asked Nalan Xin to do it.

In fact, Tang Yuan's purpose was very simple, that is, he wanted to make up for the poor Ma Jian Army.

Although the two of them have different positions and often have contradictions and conflicts, Tang Yuan does not hate Ma Butong, he even hopes that Ma Butong will stay forever, because this guy is very average in all aspects, his martial arts are scarce, and his literary talent is not very high. Although he usually likes to write poetry, his poems don't even feel good to Tang Yuan, and they are so sour. If a person like him is driven away, it will be difficult for the Queen Mother to change to a powerful role.

——

In the eighth year of Zhide, the twenty-eighth day of July.

The sky is clear, the red-hot discus is hanging in the sky, baking people upset, everyone is hiding in the shade to escape the heat, only Chen Bao's troops are still practicing, and at this time, the superintendent Ma Butong is holding a beautiful girl in his arms, happy not to know the north and south, not to ask about the military, and often praise Tang Yuan for understanding human feelings, Kwanalanxin has the vision to buy him such a lovely little beauty.

Tang Yuan frowned, looking at the sand table in front of him, there were obviously more enemy battle flags on the sand table.

Hearing that the vanguard of the Liang army had moved, Guan Xiong increased the defense of the early Han city, and at this time, the third Taibao Guan Jinghong and the fourth Taibao Guan Jingcheng cooperated again to defend the small city in the early Han Dynasty.

These two golden partners worked together again, giving Han Jun great confidence, and at the same time, Tang Yuan also felt the pressure.

"It's all a good thing that Tang Hu did." threw away the small flags in his hand and scolded angrily.

Although his troops are now well equipped, he also finds it tricky in the face of the enemy's two main divisions of elite armor. It's like playing chess, you have one rook and horse artillery, but the opponent has two rooks and horse artillery, how to play?

Expecting Tang Hu to break the routine and rush into the death hole, it is possible that there will be a wonderful scene of ten thousand troops snatching the head of the general, but it is too dangerous to do so, it can be described as nine deaths. Tang Hu can live for so long, which is a miracle in itself, but Tang Yuan feels that this kind of miracle will not always appear.

"I think the time has come." Nalan said: "Recruit troops on the spot and expand the army. ”

Tang Yuan shook his head: "Our troops are already more than 2,000 people, Ma Butong doesn't care about us, it's already very good." Maybe he had already passed the news to the Empress Dowager Cao, but the Empress Dowager Cao felt that there were no more than 2,000 people, so the Empress Dowager Cao didn't take me seriously. If we take this opportunity to increase our troops, no one will say anything during the war, but after the war, someone will always come to settle accounts with me. When the time comes, stealing chickens will not be able to make rice, and the original 2,000 extra people will not be able to keep it. ”

Nalan said: "The extra people can be hidden." ”

"How to hide?"

"Cao Dingbang can cultivate mountain bandits, and so can we."

Tang Yuan waved his hand: "Cao Dingbang controls the military, political and economic power in Jingzhou, he has money, he can do whatever he wants, but I can't, although I can get a part of the money from the facades of Meng Zhaoyang, the Duke of Jingguo, it is not enough to support such a large expenditure." I'm struggling to feed this supernumerary of 2,000 people. ”

Tang Yuan suddenly felt as if he was talking nonsense, Nalan Xin obviously knew all these things, but why did he still say it?

Tang Yuan looked at Nalan Xin suspiciously.

Nalan Xin smiled and said, "Let's not go back." ”

"What do you mean......" Tang Yuan thought for a moment: "Disobedience? ”

"No," Nalan said, "forcing the emperor to fight for power with the queen mother, I think the emperor is too weak, and if no one forces him, he will never be able to make up his mind." ”

Tang Yuan fell into deep thought, for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time, your idea is too risky. ”

Seeing that Tang Yuan disagreed, Nalan Xin drafted a military newspaper and sent it to the headquarters to ask Zhang Yunlong for troops.

Zhang Shuai's reply was to ask Han Dang to lead 3,000 people to support Tang Yuan and serve as a rear team for Tang Yuan.

"Only 3,000 people?" Tang Yuan was stunned.

"Hehe, the old man thinks very highly of you." Nalan said: "He thinks that if you add three thousand people, you can fight against Guan Jinghong and Guan Jingcheng." ”

Nalan Xin said cool words, Tang Yuan glanced at him, didn't say anything, and suddenly Tang Yuan had an idea.

"What does it mean that the enemy does not attack and does not withdraw? I have heard that the Southern Jin Dynasty used the method of cutting off trade to contain the Shu Han, but the Shu Han Emperor did not seem to fully listen to the Southern Jin Dynasty. I think he will not die of a thief, and he will definitely launch the third Hanzhong War. Nalan Xin, I suddenly have a bold idea, what will happen if we take the initiative to provoke a third war? ”

"Crazy?" Nalan Xin didn't speak, but Li Xian, who claimed to be the fourth brother, said: "I, my eldest brother, you, you are too bold, we are only 60,000 now, and the enemy army is 120,000." How to fight? ”

Li Xian usually doesn't stutter when he speaks, but he stutters when he's in a hurry, and this time it's obvious that he's really in a hurry.

"You don't have to win." Tang Yuan rubbed his nose, pointed to the map of Hezhou, and said, "Hezhou is known as a mountain city, which seems to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is actually a double-edged sword. The mountains will put the armies of both sides in a state of anxiety, and I found that Liu Xun is very impatient, to put it bluntly, he is suitable for playing the whole game, but he can't play residual chess. And the state of the remnants is very good for us. ”

Li Xian insisted and said: "If you want to realize this idea, I think it is a little difficult, Bai Chongguang is known as Xiao Zhuge , with him, it is not the same force, it is difficult to win." ”

Nalan said: "What if Bai Chongguang and Liu Xun are not of the same mind? ”。

"How do you know they're not of the same heart?" Li Xian asked rhetorically.

"The stake said." Nalan Xin looked at the map of Hezhou, and thought with his eyebrows: "If we fight head-on, or focus on Chongxiong and Bai Chongguang, then we are not sure of winning at all, but if we stare at Liu Xun to fight, we may be able to see miraculous results." For example, Bai Chongguang did not support Liu Xun. If you look at the map of Hezhou, Guan Xiong's troops are at the forefront, guarding the two cities of the early Han Dynasty and the Xinming Dynasty, forming a corner to block our army from moving south. Behind him are Bai Chongguang's soldiers, concentrated in Hezhou City, while Liu Xun's soldiers are in Chishui and Tongliang, which seem to be the back, in fact, we can find another way, from Suizhou to detour, directly to Chishui, and at this time Guan Xiong is the farthest away from Liu Xun, if Bai Chongguang does not come to support, or even block Guan Xiong's support troops, then Liu Xun will definitely die. ”
