Chapter 4 The unfathomable human heart
Han Baozheng was quite unhappy with this. What is called a defeated army killed by the Chu army. He Zhou Xingfeng said this because he was the Chu army, you Zhang Tingwei was still an upright Shu army, how could he say that! Didn't you kid be quite good at talking when he was in Xingyuan Mansion? Why did he immediately change his appearance as soon as he ran to Guanzhong, and what he said was so unpleasant. In your heart, is our Shu army really worse than their Chu army? After all, Han Baozheng has a feeling that he has been underestimated in his heart, his eyes are lowered, his face is long, and he is very unhappy.
At that moment, Han Baozheng wrenched his face and said, "Judge Zhang's marching and fighting is not child's play. We should be cautious about the lessons of the past and the teachers of the future. Your Majesty asked me to take charge of the ** Beihui Guanzhong, and I will be responsible for Your Majesty and the officials and soldiers below. Ordered Zhao Yantao to leave a group of men and horses to maintain order in Lingtai County, and the rest of the men and horses immediately marched north to Baili Town, which was 2o miles away from Lingtai County, and the Chinese army followed me into Lingtai County, and the army camped here, and sent scouts to patrol closely, so you must not be complacent and negligent because of today's victory! ”
"Obey!" The herald "kicked" and gave the order.
Zhang Tingwei paused for a moment, he understood a little bit that his boss of the same party was giving himself a face, I recruited you to provoke you, do you point at Sang and scold Huai like this? Zhang Tingwei was very angry in his heart, last year it was indeed me who suggested that Wang Zhaoyuan and Marshal Wang pursue, but you kid is also very active, if it weren't for your vigorous prodding, Marshal Wang could send troops, your position would be much bigger than mine. It's all up to me to lose the battle together! I'm wronged! Zhang Tingwei's face twisted and he no longer paid attention to Han Baozheng: You are a rat, and the emperor is really using you as a marshal... It's really eye-catching. No, I have to join him, lest if anything goes wrong, don't let this responsibility fall on Lao Tzu's head.
To be honest, the successful capture of Lingtai City did not make Han Baozheng happy. Why? All this seems to be very similar to last year, last year, the Zhou army was also killed by the Shu army, lost their armor and fled from Fengxiang City, Wang Zhaoyuan's army rushed to the Guanzhong Plain, and was defeated by Guo Rong's white-clothed army with a charge! Now that Lingtai City is so easy to take down, will Jingzhou below still be a set? But it is a fact that the Chu army ******** in one round, will the Zhou army on the other side be weakened because of the main force of the Northern Expedition? He was very hesitant now, wanting to stretch out his hand, but he was afraid of pricking his hand, but he was unwilling to watch it.
Han Baozheng's army entered Lingtai City, only 3 hours apart, and Ma Guangmeng, who was in Weizhou, got the news.
"Dashuai, it's okay to say that you captured Longzhou, after all, this Longzhou is in the west of Fengxiang, and it can be regarded as relieving Fengxiang's worries, but now you have fought Weizhou again, this... What is this going to do? This area is full of old and weak soldiers. . . It doesn't matter if you have a little bit of this chicken rib taste or not. What are you thinking about? Shentu Congjian asked from the side. Shen Tu Congjian doesn't look like a big old man, but he still didn't say a word, Marshal Ma, did you want to mobilize Wang Zhenyi's Zhou army in Jingzhou like in Fengxiang? But no matter whether people are fooled or not, the Shu army has already rushed over, and he Wang Zhenyi has no time to take care of us.
"Isn't Shentu's battle too enjoyable! Hehe, don't worry, we're about to have a fierce battle! Ma Guang said violently: "I'm afraid that Shentu will make you ambiguous at a critical moment!" ”
Shentu Congjian's eyes lit up and said, "Dashuai, are you going back to the army and enter Guanzhong?" "The current situation is very simple, that is, Wang Zhenyi of Jingzhou and Gao Huaide of Guanzhong have strength, and the defense of the Zhou army in other places is very weak. But in a war, you can't keep picking up soft persimmons and pinching them, especially when the main force of the people hasn't moved yet? Let's go north and go far, in case Gao Huaide rushes out of Chang'an and cuts off our way back, we won't be able to eat and go around! In Shen Tu's opinion, when Gao Huaide's main force was still there, Weizhou was definitely the limit of the Chu army's northward movement, and it could no longer go north. After all, we don't have a lot of people. And Han Baozheng, Wang Zhenyi, who went to fight Jingzhou with 50,000 or 60,000 people, will definitely not let us help, besides, there is no benefit in helping, we might as well go to Chang'an!
Ma Guang shook his head violently: "Chang'an is still far away, let's fight slowly, and then take Jingzhou first." "You can't eat a fat man in one bite. Ma Guangmeng knew very well in his heart how much Pseudo Zhou attached importance to Guanzhong. Now that the situation is still unclear, he has no necessity at all, and he is in a hurry to find Gao Huaide. If you lose, you will hurt the sharpness of the Western Route Army, and the emperor's brother's idea of wanting to fight a ** heaven and earth in Longyou will be over, and even Shu may betray the alliance. Won? It is not good for the Chu State at all, after all, Chu's ** power is limited, and there are not many ** who can be invested in Guanzhong, and he is full of 70,000 people. Winning Gao Huaide is equivalent to stabbing the hornet's nest, and pseudo-Zhou will inevitably do his best to fight with himself. If the Zhou army mobilizes the ** of Huaibei, then forget it. But in case the Zhou army gave up Yan Yun's plan and transferred the ** of the Northern Expedition back. Then my Da Chu will suffer a loss. After being busy for a long time, Guanzhong could not get it, but it was possible to give Hebei to the Khitans for no reason. . . That's not a good idea. And everyone knows what the idea is in Zhou Jun's switch. He pseudo-Zhou wanted to hide in Guanzhong, and then the strongest people in the whole world were only Khitan and Chu. For the sake of their own safety, will the Khitans continue to form an alliance with the Chu State? And what his fifth brother emperor has always been obsessed with is to unify the world and Hebei, can he watch it become the territory of the Khitans? If the people of the pseudo-Zhou are stirring up trouble, then it is likely that the two will become an alliance between the Khitan and the pseudo-Zhou to deal with my Da Chu together. So once you defeat Gao Huaide and Zhou Jun from Yanbei, the ** body is basically certain! The pseudo-Zhou should not be stimulated too much, and the pseudo-Zhou should continue to think that the policy of "defeating the Khitan first and then going south" is correct.
In this way, the activities of the Chu army in Longyou can only be summarized in two words: active. Active means that there are a lot of small movements, but they are all innocuous and insignificant. This must grasp a good degree: neither can you force the pseudo-Zhou too much, but also cannot put no pressure on the pseudo-Zhou. At the same time, for Ma Guangmeng, there is also a purpose to let Shu State shed all the blood in Longyou. So that when you come to Jingzhou, you can play it. br/>
You ran to Guanzhong, not to mention that you are in harmony with Gao Huaide, that is, the Guanzhong Plain is in the scourge again, and the pseudo-Zhou will definitely be red-eyed, but Jingzhou is different, there are many mountains in this place, and it is like a hilly area, and it is not an important grain producing area, even if the war is harmful to the people, both sides can accept it. And the Zhou army had a reason not to recover Jingzhou. In the face of the offensive of the Chu State and the Khitan people, the pseudo-Zhou could only move west, and "reviving Guanzhong and opening up the Western Regions" was the national policy of the pseudo-Zhou, and Jingzhou, which controlled Hexi and Guanzhong to the north, and could easily enter the Guanzhong Plain to the east, where the Zhou army must fight for more critical than Fengxiang.
"Didn't Dajingzhou say that Han Baozheng had already gone? I'm afraid he won't be happy for us to enter Jingzhou! Shentu Congjian said.
"Yes, Han Baozheng did enter Jingzhou, but he didn't defeat Jingzhou, according to our prior agreement, if this Jingzhou was indeed defeated by the Shu army, we naturally had to notify Han Baozheng first and get his permission before entering, but now he hasn't captured Jingzhou!" Let's go in as usual. What about the people, because today's **** Lian Jie Ben Marshal ordered the three armies to celebrate three days, good wine, good ** tube enough! Enzai informed Han Baozheng and told him that in three days, Ben Shuai would send troops to Jingzhou! Ma Guangmeng said.
"Dashuai, I have an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not." Shentu Congjian said.
"What's the best way to do it!" Ma Guangmeng smiled. There are many Great Chu generals, but there are not many who can really be called big players in the field. Ma Guangmeng also hopes in his heart that Shentu Congjian and these people can become generals who lead an army, not just a brave general.
"Isn't this possible for us to find a way to let Han Baozheng and Zhou Jun fight first, let's sneak attack Jingzhou City, won't we get twice the result with half the effort?" Shentu Congjian said.
"Well, that's a good idea." Ma Guangmeng said: "But this idiom is used incorrectly, not twice the result with half the effort, but twice the result with half the effort!" Let's see if you have any good ideas to mobilize Han Baozheng and Zhou Jun to fight first. ”
Looking at Ma Guangmeng's expectant eyes, Shen Tu Congjian scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Dashuai, I am a rough person, I really want to do this kind of fine work, I just suggest that you take charge of the army, you must be able to think of a good way!" ”
"Huh? Hahaha! Ma Guangmeng couldn't help laughing, he patted Shentu Congjian's shoulder and said, "Shentu is really a long learner now, you are not suitable to be a general now!" ”
"That... So what am I suitable for? Shentu Congjian said.
"When you are the prime minister, you are like a general direction, and let your subordinates slowly disobey!" Ma Guangmeng said with a smile. Leadership is the best way to do it these days. Adversity... Ma Guangmeng's eyes rolled and said: "Just kidding, don't talk nonsense everywhere, if Xu Xiang and Fan Xiang know that you want to be promoted, it will be difficult." "Shentu Congjian is an old rough man, and Ma Guang is fierce, afraid that he will tell others this joke. That would be too discordant, too much to affect unity. After all, Xu Xiang and they are still a bit level. It seems that the major policies have always been put aside, and only the effect is seen. . . It seems to be his fifth brother of the emperor.
"Hey, big handsome, do you think that's a good idea?" Shentu Congjian asked.
Ma Guang laughed fiercely: "The hero sees the same thing." Ben Shuai has already started to do it. ”
"You've already started? Since when! Shentu Congjian asked in surprise. If you want to mobilize two groups of people to fight, you should also send some lobbyists or something. I remember that's what those stories say. But the handsome man doesn't seem to have done anything.
Ma Guang laughed fiercely: "Just now." People have seven emotions and six **, which is why it is said that 'people's hearts are unpredictable'. But there is a mind that is the easiest to guess! ”
"What's that?" Shen Tu asked inexplicably.
"Greedy!"
