Chapter 212: Great Gift
Sitting in the main hall of Wancheng, Hua Wenxuan was wrapped in several layers of blankets, still trembling incessantly.
Zhuge Liang and others surrounded the fire, and the clothes on their bodies were still dripping, at this time, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, who were chasing Xiahou Yuan, walked in with a body of rain and mud, and walked in with a clatter, Wei Yan's two beards were full of water droplets, and he arched his hand and said: "The military advisor is really clever, then Xiahou Yuan really came out of the city, and it was not until his subordinates met him that he realized that something was wrong!" But I can't get out of it! ”
Zhao Yun laughed and said: "Wen Chang and I are just waving the flag and shouting, and we can coax Xiahou Yuan to go out of the city in person!" It's unheard of! ”
Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and smiled slightly, "The so-called anticipation of the enemy's first opportunity, a good plan, guessing the enemy's next march!" The second is to figure out people's hearts, put themselves in the opponent's shoes to look at the situation, and guess what choice he will make with his character, which is the only way to go to the army! ”
The two generals bowed their hands in unison and shouted in admiration.
Hua Wenxuan stretched out his hands from the blanket, seeking the warmth of the fire, "Now that Wancheng has been won in the first battle and opened the way to the north, how does the military advisor think that our army should forge ahead?" Eastward march to Runan and join forces with Sun Quan to march into Xudu? Or go north to Luoyang, or take Shangyong to attack Chang'an? ”
Zhuge Liang looked at the weather outside, turned around and said: "This time it is raining, the climate will inevitably change greatly, and this year's winter will be very sad. ”
"If that's the case, will it delay the military plane?" Hua Wenxuan asked: "Jiangdong Sun Quan is advancing north in Xuzhou at this time, Cao Pi will definitely not be able to take care of it all, Xuzhou is the land of the Cao family's money and grain, if you don't take advantage of the situation to fight Luoyang or Runan at this time, isn't it a bit too pity?" ”
Zhuge Liang pursed his lips, "It would be better if you could take advantage of the situation, but the minister's concerns may not be empty talk, if you don't go down to Jiancheng, Wancheng will be attacked again, then there is no way to retreat!" ”
Hua Wenxuan looked at the generals and was silent.
Zhuge Liang frowned, his face was embarrassed, and Gan Ning whispered on the side: "Zhuge Junshi's worries are not unreasonable! At this time, although we occupied Wancheng, the soldiers of Runan and Luoyang were coming in a blink of an eye, and Cao Hongruo of Chang'an would arrive in Wancheng in more than ten days! ”
Hua Wenxuan pursed his lips, "Okay, according to the words of the military advisor, we will prepare in Wancheng first, and then make a decision after Sun Quan's move in Xuzhou!" ”
The generals said yes, Hua Wenxuan was full of displeasure, just stared at the fire blankly, but in his heart he felt that Zhuge Liang was a little arbitrary, if everything was according to him, wouldn't it be to empty the lord and me? It's no wonder that only a monarch like Liu Chan can make Zhuge Liang show his strength.
After half a month of preparation in Wancheng, he did not wait for Sun Quan's letter, but he waited for Cao Pi's movements, Cao Pi took advantage of the situation when the three sons of the Yuan family were fighting, and took Yecheng in one fell swoop, Yuan Xi fled to Youzhou, Yuan Tan fled to Qingzhou, but Yuan Shang went to Bingzhou to find a high cadre.
A few days later, the sentry horse came to report again, Xu Huang of the Cao family led the army to the north of the city to fight Qingzhou, Yuan Tan was surrounded as soon as he entered the Beihai, and Qingzhou was all owned by the Cao family.
After getting the news, Hua Wenxuan hurriedly hurried everyone to discuss the matter.
Hua Wenxuan said angrily: "Cao Pi's army is still in Hebei, but Xu Huang of Xuzhou went north to Qingzhou, there has been no news from Sun Quan's side since he took Guangling, and I have been sitting in Wancheng for more than half a month, but I am afraid that Luoyang's city defense has been strengthened a lot now!" ”
Zhuge Liang knew that he was talking about himself, and licked his lips silently.
Hua Wenxuan pointed to the map and said: "We have taken Wancheng, Chang'an, Luoyang, Runan, and Xudu are in front of us, and Cao Pi's army is far away in Hebei, why don't we take this opportunity to go north?" Wait for Cao Pi to come back? ”
Everyone knew that Hua Wenxuan was complaining and complaining at this time, and no one dared to argue with him at this time, and let him nag here for a long time.
While he was talking, someone reported from outside the door, saying that a messenger had come from Xudu and asked to see Hua Wenxuan.
Hua Wenxuan was stunned, who could Xu Du's envoy be?
After the messenger came up, Hua Wenxuan's heart sank even more, how could it be Xun Yu?
Xun Yu was dressed in a gorgeous dress, covered with a one-headed robe, and after entering the hall, he took off his robe, shook his sleeves, and arched his hand towards Hua Wenxuan and said: "The Great Han Shangshu Ling Xun Yu, in the name of the Son of Heaven, has come to see Jingzhou Muhua Wenxuan!" ”
Hua Wenxuan was secretly taken aback, this Jingzhou Mu was called by himself, how could he say it from Xun Yu's mouth? What's more, Xun Yu is an angel at the moment, could it be that Emperor Han Xian also admitted this?
Hua Wenxuan and the others exchanged pleasantries with Xun Yu, and Zhuge Liang asked cautiously: "I don't know what happened when Xun Lingjun came to Wancheng this time?" ”
Xun Yu looked up and down at the scholar in front of him, known as Wolong, stroked his beard, and said softly: "If Wen Ruo came first this time, he would give Jingzhou Mu a big gift!" ”
Hua Wenxuan raised his eyebrows, "What does Xun Lingjun want to give Wenxuan?" ”
Xun Yu said softly: "Xu Du! ”
Everyone in the hall was shocked, and Zhuge Liang asked in surprise: "Xun Lingjun has been serving the Cao family for a long time, why would he give up Xu Du today?" ”
Xun Yu smiled slightly, "Wen Ruo is the Shang Book Order of the Han Dynasty, and the four fields from Meng Degong are also Kuang Fu Han Chamber, and now the son of Meng Degong is domineering and domineering, bullying the Son of Heaven, Wen Ruo is difficult to invite troops into Beijing on behalf of the Son of Heaven, what's wrong?" ”
Zhuge Liang pursed his lips and frowned, Xun Yu looked at Hua Wenxuan with a smile, "Now that Cao Pi is leading the army in Hebei, Xu Huang has transferred all the soldiers and horses from Yuzhou to Qingzhou, and Xu Du is now an empty city. Is it to wait for Cao Pi to stabilize the situation in Jizhou and move south? ”
Hua Wenxuan glanced at Zhuge Liang and smiled awkwardly, "Wancheng was initially decided, and he didn't dare to come out lightly!" Xun Linggong forgive me! ”
Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Xun Lingjun is famous all over the world, he is a humble gentleman, Liang shouldn't question anything, but it is about the net worth of the lord and the Jingzhou soldiers, so ask more!" ”
Xun Yu smiled and looked at Zhuge Liang, "Please speak!" ”
"Ling Jun is a great Han scholar, and he doesn't ask about the military, even if the air defense of the capital city is weak, how can Ling Jun know that the soldiers of Luoyang and Runan will not come to the aid after we move?" Zhuge Liang asked.
Xun Yu put away his smile and said softly: "Luoyang Xiahou Yuanxin has not recovered from the defeat, and the soldiers of Runan have already been transferred away by Xu Huang, where did the soldiers and horses come from?" Xun Yu saw that Zhuge Liang still didn't believe it, and sighed lightly, "Xu Huang is a loyal and courageous person, in order to let the Son of Heaven get rid of the control of the Cao family, he will wantonly send troops and horses to Qingzhou, once Jingzhou Mu takes Xudu, General Xu Huang will directly rebel against Cao and return to Han in Qingzhou!" ”
Everyone in the hall sighed again, Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but stand up and said softly: "Prepare the soldiers and horses!" Tomorrow march to Xudu! ”
