Chapter 234: A Superb Minister
Zhao Hao was completely vegetarian, numbly following the funeral crowd and walking slowly, in the crowd, the new emperor Liu Chan, who had just succeeded to the throne, looked resolute and slowly walked all the way to the west.
Mourning clouds shrouded, but the expression on Liu Chan's face was still very resolute, along the way, whether by boat or on foot, he was always reluctant to leave his father's coffin.
The black and gold-painted coffin carries Liu Bei's body and his obsession with the Han Dynasty, Liu Chan quietly holds it, and seems to be able to feel his father's voice and smile and the earnest teachings of the past.
He didn't say anything along the way, but every day, he insisted on crawling on the ground according to the curriculum of the school, doing push-ups one after another, until his whole body was out of strength.
"Your Majesty, take a little rest, even if these days are not so hard, the champion will not blame...... He's your courtier now. ”
Liu Chan leaned against the coffin, looked at Zhao Xi's worried face, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
"Beth, I don't practice this for others to see."
He opened his already black and thick palm, and said lightly: "Since I worked hard according to the method of the champion Hou, my body has obviously improved a few points, and the strength in this body is inexhaustible.
In the past, my father once lamented that his hips were resurrected, and I inherited my father's legacy, so naturally I couldn't let myself gain weight all over my body. ”
Zhao Xi looked down at his lower abdomen, which was gradually bulging because he had not exercised for several days and had eaten too well, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed, he also wanted to do push-ups together, but he felt that it was too disrespectful in front of the coffin of the first emperor, so he had to smile reluctantly.
Liu Chan wiped the sweat on his forehead with his long sleeves, and said, "Bo Si, how do you reward the champion Hou?" ”
"Uh......" Zhao Yu said cautiously, "The minister doesn't dare to talk nonsense, the champion Hou Gong is greater than Sheji, but he is too young, and he is only afraid of ......"
"I know what you're worried about.
Now the world is undecided, the champion Hou is already a very good minister, if he fights and wins again, he will have nothing to reward, right. ”
How dare I take that.
Zhao Wei hurriedly bowed to the ground in fear, not daring to say more.
Liu Chan smiled and said: "Okay, if it were someone else, I might have such worries, but the prime minister, the champion Hou, and the general, which one is not the best in the world, they are willing to help me, that is, for the sake of the society.
If such loyal and pure people are not rewarded, they will chill the hearts of the people in the world.
Beth, you are my personal guard and my friend, and you tell me how the champion should be rewarded if you look at it. ”
Zhao Yu rolled his eyes and said: "I heard that the champion Hou has a plan to take advantage of Cao Wei's carelessness to sneak attack Chang'an, this time he may not even want to go back to Chengdu, and when he makes a great contribution, it will not be too late to reward him-
I heard that the hussar general Ma Chao died of illness, it is better to take the champion Hou as the hussar general, and follow the example of Huo Qu's illness when Emperor Wu was in the past, which will definitely deter the enemy and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. ”
……
"I'm stupid, I'm going to fight Chang'an!"
On the big boat, Zhao Hao, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Li Yan, and Liu Ye sat cross-legged, Liu Yan was half-squatting on the side with the instigator Pu Fan, and a group of people stared at the extremely accurate map laid out by Zhao Hao on the ground, except for Zhao Hao, the other people didn't say anything for a while.
Li Yan's face was uncertain, he heard that Zhao Hao had translated the history of Jiaozhou's assassination, and transferred Ding Feng to the north, and thought that Zhao Hao must have the idea of fighting Chang'an, and quickly found a lot of arguments to stop Zhao Hao, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed by Zhao Hao in public, and his face was a little ugly.
He saw that Zhuge Liang and the others were all expectant, and couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and said angrily: "Champion Hou, I heard that you just came to the White Emperor and rushed to send people to Jingzhou for mourning, if it wasn't for the fight against Chang'an, you would always give me a reason."
Otherwise, will you bear this disrespectful name? ”
Zhuge Liang interjected: "This matter was approved by the first emperor, and Ji Chang and I both know about it."
Soldiers, sophistry, as long as they can hide from Cao Wei, don't talk about it at this time. ”
Li Yan snorted and expressed disdain.
He thought that Zhao Hao would be trusted by Liu Bei again, and he would definitely be a head lower to himself, but he didn't expect that he was the same auxiliary minister as himself, and the ranking was actually ahead of him, Liu Bei entrusted him with the task of reviving the Han Dynasty and returning the Central Plains to him in the edict that had been prepared a long time ago, so that everyone must cooperate with Zhao Hao's battle.
This kid is a martial artist, can he still be my enemy in the future?
Guan Yu sneered: "Things in the army, you can't wait, you should also be,
Zixuan's use of troops is varied, no matter where he attacks, there are benefits, you just wait for the news. ”
Li Yan almost choked himself in one breath, he, the central capital protector, is equivalent to the governor of Wu State, but Ji Han has a general and commands the three armies, and he, the central capital protector, can only deal with the daily logistics support in the army and participate in basic strategic planning.
Zhao Hao knew that Li Yan was not convinced, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him, anyway, now Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu support him, and he has heavy troops in his own hands, so he is not afraid of Li Yan setting off any waves.
He pointed to the map and said: "Cao Wei has a lot of wise men, and Guanzhong is originally an important place, even if they take advantage of the death of the first emperor to attack, when our army is killed, they will definitely be prepared.
That's why I let the silver screen attack the martial arts level and try to attract the enemy's attention......"
Li Yan snorted coldly and said, "Since you know, you still have to do these things, if you work in vain, wouldn't you let Cao Wei laugh at it in vain." ”
"Please, I said it all, I didn't have the idea of fighting Chang'an at all," Zhao Hao smiled, "Ma Chao defeated Chang'an back then, but because of the unstable foundation, he was quickly recaptured by Cao Cao.
Now Cao Wei has hoarded 100,000 heavy troops in the Guanzhong area, and he is constantly transferring troops from the Central Plains to support, and the supply line is much shorter than ours, so my goal is to ...... here."
He tapped on the map, and Li Yan looked in the direction of his finger, his eyes widening.
"You want to take the Qishan Road? What if the other party comes to help? ”
As soon as Li Yan opened his mouth, he immediately realized that he had asked a very stupid question, from the Northern Expedition in Yizhou, no matter where he went, it was a rugged and difficult mountain road, no matter which direction he attacked, the Wei army would definitely send troops to support it soon,
Is it because he is afraid of the other party's support that he will shrink in Yizhou and not go out?
Zhao Hao said with a smile: "So I tried my best to find a way to trap their army in Chang'an with a partial division."
In this way, the troops they invested in Tianshui, Longxi and other places will definitely be insufficient, and if we deal with it properly, we will have full confidence that we will break through the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop! ”
Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, he nodded vigorously, and said: "I know that Zixuan will never attack Chang'an, and this attack on Tianshui is the best policy." ”
Liu Yan also echoed: "What I said is that the enemy army is like a tiger, and as soon as we release the news of the siege of Chang'an, they will definitely strengthen their defenses in order to ensure that Chang'an is not lost.
We changed the direction of the attack, so that the gods could not guess. ”
It is no wonder that Zhuge Liang agrees so much, in fact, Zhao Hao just copied Zhuge Liang's strategy in the first Northern Expedition.
It was Zhuge Liang's most promising Northern Expedition to achieve great results, and he first asked Zhao Yun to set up a suspicious military plan to make Cao Wei mistakenly think that his main attack direction was in Chang'an, which involved most of Cao Zhen's troops.
Then he easily captured the three counties of Tianshui and took the strategic initiative.
The current Han army is stronger and more powerful than in history, and the threat to Chang'an is by no means comparable to the little ambush in history, Zhao Hao has already calculated, if Cao Zhen really attacked Tianshui with a large army, the troops they attacked Wuguan could also fake it, and attack Chang'an directly from Wuguan -
Whether you can beat it or not, of course, is another story.
"I also think Zixuan's strategy is feasible!"
Guan Yu pointed to a small dot on the north side of the map and said:
"As long as we can conquer Tianshui Nan'an in time, we will have an unexpected foothold in Yizhou, and slowly occupy Yongliang in the future, we will be able to have a large number of horse teams, and we will no longer be afraid of Cao Wei's cavalry."
One will go out of Jingzhou to contain it, and the other army will go out of Qinchuan, this is exactly the strategy that Zhuge Liang mentioned early in Longzhong, and it is also the founding policy of Ji Han all along, when Liu Bei was alive, this strategy has been difficult to implement for one reason or another,
Unexpectedly, now that Liu Bei has died, Zhao Hao actually made a decision and found an opportunity to form a breakthrough.
"Everyone," Zhao Hao said in a very magnetic voice, "In the previous battle, we have greatly consumed Cao Wei's combat power, but we have not gained too much land and population, Cao Wei, a behemoth, occupies the Central Plains, and we have only left a little trace on the bark of a towering tree." ”
"The first emperor did not start a business and the middle way collapsed, and today the next three points are not the time to be content with pleasure.
If we want to defeat the strong with the weak, we must work together from now on, at least we can't let the regret of the first emperor continue to remain in our generation. ”
"Everyone knows that my Zhao Hao's foundation is in Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, and my Northern Expedition to Yizhou this time will definitely be beyond Cao Wei's expectations.
Everyone understands the need for a bang, so I need the support of all of you this time. ”
Zhuge Liang said angrily: "Zixuan, although you can rest assured, if I am in Chengdu, the rear of Yizhou will definitely be solid, enough to ensure that you go deep." ”
Guan Yu slapped his thigh even more, and said viciously: "With me, if anyone in the army dares to embarrass you, he will not be forgiven!" ”
Everyone focused their eyes on Li Yan's body, Li Yan was stunned, and had to grit his teeth and said: "Champion Hou rest assured, with me Li Yan here, there will definitely be no shortage of ordnance, grain and grass.
But ......"
Zhuge Liang also thought of something, frowned and said, "Yes, I suddenly remembered one thing-
Hanzhong Taishou Wei Yan is the confidant of the first emperor, he is stationed in Hanzhong to guard against Cao Wei, if the Northern Expedition does not take him, I am afraid that there will be more trouble. ”
Li Yan took the opportunity to say: "Yes, this person has a very strange temper, and he is arrogant and arrogant, and he often considers himself a famous general.
Except for the first emperor and the prime minister, I am afraid that no one can suppress him.
This time, the champion Hou hurriedly attacked Tianshui, but he was afraid that Wei Yan would have many troubles. ”
Wei Yan is Zhuge Liang's cronies, and he is a weakened version of Guan Yu, he has an arrogant personality and only obeys Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and no one else is disdainful.
Zhao Hao doesn't greet him now, and he directly wants to lead heavy troops to pass through Wei Yan's territory, which will definitely cause Wei Yan's dissatisfaction, but now Zhao Hao can't care about it so much.
"The soldiers are very fast, if Wei Yan blocks it, it will delay the state affairs, and ask the prime minister to write a letter to deal with it."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "No problem, I'll write a letter." ”
"Brother Zixuan!"
Liu Chan strode out of the cabin, everyone hurriedly turned around and saluted, Liu Chan gave in, and then said: "I am not as good as you in state affairs, but this Northern Expedition is a national war, and I can't stand idly by-
Brother Zixuan, I take you as the pastor of Yongzhou, give Luo Gai and Jieyue, and open the mansion as before,
The military forces in Hanzhong are dispatched by you, if there are disobedient officials and generals, it will be regarded as rebellion, and you can cut it first and then play! ”
