Wang Yan said, "The hills here are not very high, and the top is flat", this kind of terrain has a proper noun in later generations, called "Yuan", of which the top is the flattest, and the area is larger, called "Taiyuan".

In this section of the Hu-Jin confrontation, there is also a large platform wall on the west side, extending sixteen or seventeen miles away, which is indeed not difficult. This topography was formed tens of millions of years ago, but the landscape is very different from that of later generations, because it has not been over-cultivated and the sandy soil carried by the northwest wind is not very large, so the vegetation, especially the trees, is much denser than it was 2,000 years ago.

At the turn of autumn and winter, the weather is not too cold, the grass and trees in the mountains are not very yellow, the wind rustles, and the people under the mountain shout horses neighing, the company camps are in the village, and the murderous spirit is in the air, it seems that they are completely two worlds. Liu Cang sat down and drank, and felt that the toil and irritability of planning the western expedition in the past few months had all been swept away, and it was indescribably comfortable and comfortable.

What Tian Song said was true, what he saw just now was indeed Sima Qian's ancestral hall, and the tomb was behind the ancestral hall. However, after many years of chaos, there was no one to guard the shrine, and a thick layer of dust fell on the confession, and even the tablet was dumped aside. Liu Cang stepped forward and respectfully straightened the tablet, but there was no incense to go on, so he could only pinch a pile of soil to fill the number, and then arched his hand towards the tablet. Tian Song and several other scholars from the Jin Dynasty bowed down and bowed down.

When they came to the back of the ancestral hall, they saluted Sima Qian's tomb again. There is a tablet in front of the grave, wipe the dust, carefully examine its words, and sure enough, it was erected by Yongjia in four years. Liu Cang said: "Shi Qian is also a sage, and when the orphan is collected in Guanzhong, it is necessary to repair the ancestral hall, and send people to take care of and sweep it." ”

Seeing that it was still early and the place was secluded, Liu Cang ordered people to spread out a felt carpet under the tree in front of the ancestral hall, put wine and food, and drink with several soldiers. Talking about the terrain and the war, Liu Cang's mood relaxed, and he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, slightly with a sense of wine, and he suddenly asked Wang Yan and others: "Qing and others think that Shi Qian and Ban Mengjian, who is a good history?" ”

Tian Song replied: "All of them are good history, but if you want to be different, then Sima Gong is not as good as Ban Mengjian." ”

This is also a popular evaluation for hundreds of years, and it is generally believed in Shilin that Ban Gu can be above Sima Qian by writing history, and the "Book of Han" is also better than the "Historical Records". However, when Liu Cang heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Not necessarily ......."

Then he explained: "The world thinks that the class book is fine, and the moving book is simple, so that the left moves and the right class." However, the "Book of Han" was not written by Ban Mengjian alone, and the book was not completed and his person had passed away, and his female brother Ban Zhao and his disciple Ma Xu sorted it out, and it became the Hongwen seen today. And in Lone's view, Shi Qian's literary talent is elegant and his pen is magnificent, while Ban Mengjian is only cautious. In the "Book of Han", the past events of Emperor Wu are mostly based on the "Historical Records", and they are only slightly supplemented, and they have not lost their charm, as for Emperor Wu, there is no book to follow, and the aura is suddenly lost......"

It is believed that the achievements of the "Records of the Historians" are above the "Book of Han", and this kind of evaluation is more popular in later generations, mainly because Ban Gu is too whitewashed by the rulers, unlike Sima Qian, who dares to express his mind and express his political views heartily through history. Liu Cang can be regarded as the first person to make it, Wang Yan, Tian Song and others actually didn't think so of his remarks, but based on the identity of the other party, they could only do it and did not dare to refute it in person.

However, Liu Cang immediately sighed and said, "I don't know who can write history more about the Later Han Dynasty after Ban Mengjian!" ”

Tian Song arched his hand and said: "The history of the Later Han Dynasty already exists, such as Xie Cheng's "Book of the Later Han", Xue Ying's "Later Han Chronicles", Sima Biao's "Book of the Continuation of the Han Dynasty", Hua Qiao's "Book ......of the Later Han Dynasty", etc., are also quite numerous."

Liu Cang interrupted him with a smile: "Yu Qing said that the history, Lone is also a little involved, but it is just a matter of picking up the aftermath of "Dongguan", which is ......far away from Ban and Ma, and then frowned and said: "Xue Ying is not Wu Renhu?" How could the history of the Han Dynasty be narrated by the Wu people? Since Shao Jiyan and Liu are orthodox in our dynasty, we should have written a book for the Later Han Dynasty by the historian of our dynasty. ”

Wang Yan and others said in their hearts, what you said is reasonable, but I am ...... You have to have a historian to make it! I was going to say a few perfunctory words, what to say and wait for the world to decide, this matter of writing history books will naturally be put on the agenda, who thinks that the topic of Liu Cang is instantly far away, and suddenly asks strangely: "From Gaozu to Xiaoping, known as the former Han Dynasty in history, will be Guangwu below, until Xiaoshu (that is, Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty), called the Later Han Dynasty." Then what will be the name of our dynasty? ”

Tian Song replied casually: "In the past, Emperor Shao succeeded the Han Dynasty in Shu, commonly known as 'Shu Han', then the capital of our dynasty is Pingyang, which belongs to the Jin Dynasty, or will it be named 'Jin Han'?" ”

Wang Yan immediately scolded: "Tian Jun is cautious! Zhaolie and filial piety (that is, the later lord Liu Chan), can not restore the imperial base, cramped in the poor place of Bashu, so the name of the place. Although our dynasty is strong in Jin, it will be mixed with Liuhe and reopen the hot sky, how can it be named after the place? ! "Liu Bei is a secession regime, so he is called "Shu Han", are we a secession regime? What you say is extremely politically incorrect!

Tian Song hurriedly fell to the ground to apologize, Liu Cang smiled and waved his hand: "It's not above the court, and the name of my court is not determined by Qing, what is the crime?" Then he ordered his attendants to fill the army with wine, and he himself did it like a whale sucking the sea, and then the topic changed again - "But I don't know what year and month can I mix a Liuhe and reopen the hot ......."

This person has drunk too much, there are all kinds of different manifestations, some are excited, some are tired, some are singing, and some are asleep, Liu Cang basically belongs to the former, brain cells are extremely active, and strange ideas emerge in endlessly, but at the same time, attention is inevitably scattered, so it is impossible for any topic to last for a long time.

That is, with this theory of the Western Expedition, there are many troubles in the DPRK and China, and they want to accumulate for several years, and then they can compete with the Jin Kou. However, can only solitude accumulate in Binh Duong? Pei should be in Guanzhong, Zu Ti is in Henan, if he does not attack, he will become stronger and stronger, I am afraid that in a few years, it will be even more difficult for the officers and troops to cross the river......"

Wang Yan and the others were waiting to be comforted, but Liu Cang suddenly caught fire, threw the wine cup on the felt carpet, and said: "Pei Gai, Ru Zier, Zu Li, Lao Geer, I have never heard of the names of these two people before, how can they rise in an instant, and even take me Henan and Guanzhong?" In the past, when Yanshi confronted them, Lone felt that one of them would be fearless, and the other would be combined...... Hehe, it's a national disaster! ”

Wang Yan arched his hand and said, "Why does Your Highness sigh? Not long after the establishment of our dynasty, the army was as fierce as fire, both Keluoyang, the capture of the Jin lord, and the Jin Kou almost perished. When a person is about to die, there will be a return to the light, the country will die, loyal ministers and righteous people will come out - such as the decline of Zhao in the past and Li Mu, Chu will be overthrown and Xiang Yan will be born, Qin Zuo will die overnight, and Zhang Han will kill Xiang Liang...... If today's fate is in the Han Dynasty, Pei and Zu will not be able to save it, as long as our monarchs and ministers are united, and the upper and lower levels will be one, and they will be able to regain Guanzhong and Henan, capture Pei and Zu and destroy Jin Zuo! Your Highness, don't worry. ”

Liu Cang smiled bitterly and said: "Qing said well, as long as the monarch and the minister are united, the upper and lower are one, and the world is self-determined, but ...... Who's going to be alone? If Liu Yi is alone and lonely, can Henan An gain and lose? If Liu Yao is alone and lonely, how can he not even guard Feng Yi? If Shi Le is alone and has a strong state, why not give it up to the court? If I can get grain and soldiers in the state this time, Pixiu 100,000 to the river, and worry about Pei and Zu? Why can Pei and Zu be united, but our generals can't share the same hatred? ”

Wang Yan said: "It was the late Taishi and others who persuaded His Royal Highness to caress King Yong and Duke Zhao ......."

Liu Cang waved his hand and interrupted him: "After Liu Yao's defeat, or he can be caressed, Shi Le's momentum is like the sky, how can he be caressed?" Now the land he leads, almost three times that of the imperial court, household registration, soldiers and horses, can also be antagonistic with the imperial court, since the Xiangguo, do not come to the court, clearly anti-heart has been demonstrated! I am afraid that Gu will take Guanzhong this time, and annex Henan on another day, and will eventually wave his army to the east, and Na Ji ...... Shile fights! Then he sneered: "I'm afraid the country's great trouble is not in Chang'an, Luoyang or even Jianye, but in Xiangguo!" ”

It was not easy for him to join the army, Wang Yan and Tian Song glanced at each other, and Tian Song had to try to turn the topic back: "National affairs, not the ministers dare to put their beaks, and the ministers are only good at assisting His Highness, so as to complete this battle and build this merit." But I don't know what kind of case His Royal Highness has to destroy Jin Kou in person? ”

Liu Cang said that we have also seen the deployment of the Jin army - "What do you think? ”

Wang Yan replied: "Tao Shixing is really a famous general in the world, the camp is very complete, the formation is tight, coupled with the narrow terrain, facing the attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through quickly, if Pei should lead reinforcements to come, it will inevitably be delayed for a long time...... The fear of insufficient food and straw to support the large army was stationed in the enemy's territory for a long time until the end of the year. It was the old minister who suggested that His Highness not send an army......"

Liu Cang interrupted him again, picked up the wine cup on the ground, and said with a smile: "For there will be good attackers, there will be good defenders, good attackers must not be right, and good defenders cannot shake their bases." However, Tao Kan's array, in Lone's view, the integration of offense and defense seems to be seamless, but in fact, it may not be difficult to break. Just like Ban Mengjian's "Book of Han", only four levels and eight stability, then its advance and retreat will not be difficult to predict. I intend to make Qiao Che ride tomorrow to taste the enemy first, and then use the strategy to send an army to climb the mountain and go around to the ......" said and slapped his left hand on the thigh: "Within ten days, the enemy must be broken!" ”

But he was holding a wine cup in his right hand, and asked the attendant to pour wine, and when he slapped his thigh like this, his whole body was shocked, and the attendant couldn't grasp it, and the wine was all spilled, almost pouring Liu Cang's chest. Liu Cang was furious, and immediately ordered the attendant to be tied up and beheaded to report!

——————————

Liu Cang planned to send troops to climb the Taiyuan, and after making a detour to attack the Jin army, Tao Kan was stationed in Feng Yi for a long time and surveyed the terrain in the county very carefully, how could he not expect it? Therefore, after going down to the village, he immediately summoned the generals and asked, who wants to guard the west side of our army in case Hu Kou goes down?

"Pengshan Zuoying" Governor Wangtang immediately asked for an order, saying that he would like to go at the end. Tao Kan asked what you are going to do, how to block Hu Jun? Wang Tang replied: "It is difficult for thieves to go far, if you want to flank our army, you must come down from the Dragon Pavilion." The commander had already expected that if he set up a fortress at the foot of the mountain to block his way, the last general would defend it as a stronghold, and he would not let Hu Kou leave the mountain without a single soldier. ”

Tao Kan shook his head, said "no", and then explained: "The enemy is outnumbered, I can only give the general 2,000 foot soldiers, and the place there is not very dangerous, the base is not very strong, if Hu Kou will come to the division, it can be blocked, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to defend for a long time if he finds out my truth and sends reinforcements." Kan's meaning, if the thieves are numerous, the general is stubborn, if there are few, you can let it go a little into the flat, and then bind it with a fortress, cut it with soldiers, so as to achieve great damage. If he can break the enemy, Liu Cang may not dare to come again. However, it is very difficult and dangerous to use troops in this way, and once it makes a mistake, it is difficult to stop the enemy's momentum, will the general have the confidence to receive the order? ”

Wang Tang patted his chest and replied: "The ability of the last general, the military commander knows everything, but he likes to trap the enemy and break the formation, and he is impatient to defend for a long time. Then the strategy of the commander is in the middle of the general's arms, and there is a chance to break the enemy face to face, how can he be without confidence? ”

Tao Kan said yes, and immediately ordered Wang Tang to command 2,000 soldiers and horses from the headquarters to go to Longting to garrison. Sima Pei sat on the side and said nothing - he had no military talent, and Pei Gai also repeatedly cared for him, saying that you should not interfere in the military affairs of the chief officer casually, just take the responsibility of supervising the army, so in general, at this kind of military meeting, he gritted his teeth and pretended to be dumb - but after the meeting ended, he quietly asked Tao Kan, saying: "I see the generals in the army, Lu Yan is old, Dong Biao is cautious, and Mo Huaizhong is slippery, if you talk about bravery, no one can compare with Wang Tang, why doesn't the military commander make him face the enemy, but send him elsewhere?" ”

Tao Kan usually doesn't like to talk much, but once Pei Lian's name is Sima, in fact, Pei Cai's personal prison guard, theoretically, if there is a major change - for example, if he finds that the main general is suspected of fleeing or even defecting to the enemy - he has the right to temporarily dismiss Tao Kan, and he must not be cold-faced; He knows that Pei should have deep hopes for Tao Kan, and he trusts him very much, and he is almost not a subordinate, but like treating Bian Yan, he is a peer, so he usually respects Tao Shixing very much, and almost holds a disciple salute. Therefore, Tao Kan patiently explained:

"I also know that Wang Tang is very brave, and he can be Zhen Suiya, but he has nothing to do. Now our army is to stick to it, and when the reinforcements of Da Sima come, it can only fight a decisive battle with the Hu army, and it is useless to ask Wang Tang - if Zhen is there, he may be ordered to charge into battle and replace defense with attack, but Wang Tang is not only inferior to Zhen Sui, but his troops are not as brave as 'robbing the fire camp', and they are forced to fight, which is easy to do bad things. Therefore, don't send the enemy Hu to the division, or it can be a miracle effect. ”

Pei Lin nodded again and again, said, "I have been taught", and then asked: "The commander thinks that our army is here, how many days can we stop the Hu army?" ”

Tao Kan groaned: "I don't know...... In the event of a normal confrontation, I can take advantage of the narrow terrain to successfully stop the thieves and wait for reinforcements to arrive. However, now that Liu Cang is in a hurry, it is expected that the grain and straw in his army will not be abundant, if I am blocked here, it will be difficult to penetrate into Feng Yi, and the grain will be retreated, so many days of planning will come to naught. Therefore, we may be able to storm us with all our might, regardless of casualties...... After all, there is a huge disparity between the crowds, and if it is pure fighting power, the outcome is unpredictable. ”

Then he glanced at Pei Lin and said, "Sima doesn't have to be in danger, why don't you go back to Haoyang first." ”

Pei Lin hesitated for a moment, but finally smiled and said, "And after the battle, we will stop the ......" This hasn't started yet, I'll run first, how will I explain to the metropolitan governor in the future?"
