747th Shangyong Meeting (End)
Whether it was Hu Zhen, who was the first to make the suggestion, Jiang Ji, who later echoed the suggestion, or Liu Ye, who put forward supplementary opinions, they all mentioned one word at the same time - 'time'.
Time is very precious to Cao Cao or Jin Jue's side.
Especially on Jin Jue's side, because Wei Yan knew very well that in the process of Ma Han coming to Shangyong to report the news, Cao Jun was very likely to have taken Wuguan in a very short period of time, and then Jingzhao County. This is also a very important reason why everyone does not agree with Wei Yan leading troops to Wuguan. Therefore, Wei Yan must cherish every minute and every second of his time.
Ma Chao, who had already suffered a loss from Jin Jue in Wuguan, still underestimated the princes of the world in the end, and at the same time, he did not expect that at this time, the Cao army would suddenly send troops to attack his allies. But Ma Chao or Ma Teng never thought about it, since they could turn their backs on the alliance they had privately made with Jin Jue, why couldn't Cao Cao do this?
In fact, this is because everyone still doesn't know Jin Jue's personality, if Ma Teng's side doesn't take the initiative to betray the alliance, even if he is from Yizhou, he won't take the initiative to attack Ma Teng, and Han Sui can become the target of his attack.
Otherwise, with the strength of both the Cao army and the Ma Teng army, as well as the speed of the Cao army's attack, it is very likely that Wei Yan has not yet arrived, and Zuo Fengyi will be completely occupied by the Cao army.
There is no doubt that in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and during the period when the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu were at their best, Cao Cao was the most capable of all the princes, and he was both a very good strategist and a very good statesman. Once he personally commanded the troops to reach Guanzhong, he would soon be able to see that Zuo Fengyi, no, it should be said that the area from the left bank of the Yellow River to the Beiluo River was a hidden weakness for the entire Guanzhong region.
Cao Cao will inevitably send one of his heavy generals to defend this area with enough troops after taking Zuo Fengyi.
Now, Wei Yan not only cherishes the very precious time that Ma Han bought for discovering the dynamics of Cao's army in advance, but also hopes that someone in Lu Bu's army can see this and send troops first to capture Zuo Fengyi for him.
……
At this point, the military meeting that was called the 'Shangyong Conference' by later generations ended quickly, and this time, although there was no waiting for Jin Jue's message or his personal presence to guide, but at the meeting, everyone quickly reached a consensus.
On the same day, Ma Han quickly left Shangyong and returned to Shunyang County, the seat of his governor in the western part of Nanyang County.
Shunyang County is in the western part of Nanyang County, very close to Wuguan, so Ma Han's own burden is very heavy, in case Cao Jun took advantage of Ma Han's absence to ensure the connection and security between Wuguan and Yingchuan County, in order to ensure the connection and security between Wuguan and Yingchuan County, he would have to take responsibility for this.
At the same time, Liu Ye, Hu Zhen and Jiang Ji, as well as those Huainan celebrities led by Liu Fu recruited by Wei Yan from Huainan for Jin Jue, also began to be busy, and their current task was to divide labor and assist, so that Wei Yan could quickly send troops to Montenegro this time, and then seize Zuo Fengyi, and prepare in advance all kinds of military supplies needed during the march.
And Wei Yan also had to quickly write a letter and send someone to send a letter to Mian County and Shouchun City, on the one hand, let Du Ji send people and part of his troops to Shangyong to take over the defense of Hanzhong County; On the one hand, after Fa Zheng received the secret letter, he quickly found an opportunity to leave Shouchun City.
With Jin Jue's secret agents in Shouchun City and the counties and counties under Liu Bei's rule, Fa Zheng will escape from the area controlled by Liu Bei very safely, not to mention, Fa Zheng himself is very wise, therefore, Wei Yan is not particularly worried about the safety of Fa Zheng himself, in his heart, the only thing he told Fa Zheng is to let him not tell Jin Hou that kid about his plans.
Although Jin Hou is Jin Jue's personal guard, but that is only once, at present, the two of them are their own masters, Wei Yan can't guarantee whether Hou will change his own attitude towards Jin Juejun, no, it should be his attitude towards Jin Jue himself.
The reason why Wei Yan wrote to Du Ji to inform him and asked him to send troops to Shangyong was because, in order to increase his side's strength in Montenegro and Guanzhong as much as possible, Wei Yan planned to bring the soldiers he brought from Runan County to the north along with the original troops in the four western counties of Hanzhong County.
This is also a suggestion put forward by Liu Ye and Jiang Ji at the same time.
The soldiers accompanying the army include Liu Fu, Cangci, Wu Qian and Huang Lang, but Dai Qian does not want to leave at present, but it is not that he already plans to leave Jin Jue, but because of one thing, he wants to see Jin Jue himself first, and then consider the next step.
And that one thing was that Wei Yan followed Jin Jue's order and suddenly ceded Runan County to Liu Bei.
Because Jin Jue personally gave the order, no matter what, Wei Yan did not consult with anyone when he did this, and he did not need to consult with anyone, so Liu Fu and several people had to leave Huainan, and Liu Fu did not think that there was anything wrong with Jin Jue's order. In fact, Jiang Ji and Liu Ye both agreed that it would be wise for Jin Jue to transfer Runan County to Liu Bei.
Fu Tong has always been a secret son in Nanyang County who has been unable to reveal his identity for a long time. Wei Yan led his troops alone in Runan County, and it was very likely that he would encounter a joint attack by Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and the situation he might encounter was even more dangerous than that of Liu Bei in Xuzhou. Fu Tong could not be expected to send troops to help Wei Yan tide over the difficulties he might encounter, and if Liu Beijun had any other ideas at this time, Wei Yan's situation would be even more dangerous.
Facts have proved that Liu Ye and Jiang Ji's fears at that time have really been fulfilled.
The reason why Dai Gan was a little angry was because he missed his hometown - Danyang County, although Runan County was in Jiangbei, it was not far from Danyang County in Jiangnan, but Wei Yan gave Runan County to Liu Bei, Dai Gan knew that perhaps, for a long time, he would not be able to return to his hometown.
What's more, when he was in Runan County, Dai Gan and his friend Chen Qun, who left Huainan Yingcai in Liyang County and did not choose to join any forces, did not break off contact.
Chen Qun and his father did not choose to take refuge in Jin Jue, so he learned in advance in a letter from a friend that Jin Jue was actually preparing to give up Runan County to Liu Bei, and in addition, during this time, what he saw and heard in Xiapi City actually made him roughly guess the plan of 'letting Xuzhou', so in the reply to Dai Gan, Chen Qun tried many times to persuade Dai Gan to temporarily break away from Jin Jue's army, wait and see the changes in the situation in the world, and then choose the master again.
