The people of Chang'an City will urge the battle

In the city of Chang'an

It is said that after Zhuge Liang seized Chang'an, he sent people to garrison Tongguan in front of him to prevent the Wei army from attacking. On the one hand, he ordered the list to appease the northwestern counties one by one, and collected the remnants of Sima Yi's army, and Guo Huai and others from Sima Yi's old department swore to die and were temporarily detained.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the generals have been gearing up, wanting to forge ahead in the Central Plains and make immortal achievements. But seeing that Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was tepidly engaged in internal affairs, Wei Yan, the governor of the first product led by him, and Li Yan, the hussar general, took the lead and couldn't hold his breath, so he went straight to the camp to face Chen Zhuge Liang.

Wei Yanxin was straightforward and said: "Prime Minister, now Sima Yi has been removed, and the Wei Kingdom is all rats." Luoyang, the capital of Wei, is close at hand, and I will take advantage of the victory to attack today, and the enemy will be terrified. Tens of thousands of iron cavalry arrived at the city of Luoyang, and the battle could be decided, and Wei was killed, just now! Why did the prime minister's army not march for days? If it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that morale will be low, and it will be difficult for him to march into the Central Plains again in the future! “

Zhuge Liang was sitting precariously, shaking his fan and laughing: "Don't worry, I don't want to take Luoyang, but in fact, there are three difficulties." ”

Wei Yan was still puzzled, and said: "Prime Minister and come, I'll see if it makes sense!" ”

On the side, Yang Yi saw that Wei Yan was rude and was about to have a seizure, Zhuge Liang waved his fan to signal him to retreat, and said with a smile: "One is that I am newly determined in the northwest, the rear is unstable, and the counties have not given their kindness." If I rush eastward, the high walls of Luoyang City are strong, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get down for a while, and the enemy will conquer the king of Qin from all directions. If the counties rebel at this time, cut off my grain and grass and cut off my way back, then my generation will be attacked by the enemy and have no place to retreat. Second, the army to the Central Plains needs to rely on fine cavalry, although I have newly won tens of thousands of iron cavalry, but only the crowd is not satisfied, the generals have not yet surrendered, the war cavalry has not yet been practiced, it is difficult to achieve the effect of cavalry tactics. Three, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, the first rat villain, if I advance too fast, he will not want me to be dominant, afraid of the recurrence of Jingzhou. And in addition to Sima Yi, there is no shortage of resourceful people in the Wei State, I am afraid that I have these three difficulties, and the intention is to seek me, and it is Xu Tuzhi. ”

Wei Yan was still unconvinced, and said: "With this trilemma, do you want to stop and not enter the Central Plains?" In my opinion, the difficulty of the prime minister is too worried, the soldiers are fast, and it is the best policy to use the soldiers by surprise, if everything is calculated, when will the Central Plains be recovered! ”

Zhuge Liang continued to smile and said: "Wen Chang is brave and brave, and there is no enemy in the world." However, the way of using troops pays attention to the right time, place and people. It is a scorching summer, it is not suitable to march, and the terrain of the Central Plains is not yet familiar, and the hearts of the people in the rear have not been attached. Today, we can practice the cavalry tactics of the exercise, and it is not too late to send troops when we have surrendered the hearts of the people, stabilized the rear, and sent troops when the autumn is high and the horses are fat. ”

Seeing this, Wei Yan seemed to have nothing to say, so he held back for a long time and said: "The first emperor pulled me into the army and entrusted me with a heavy task, and Yan also swore to die in the Northern Expedition to repay the first emperor." Now I see that the Han Dynasty is promising, but the prime minister has repeatedly pushed back, don't you think that you have won Chang'an, you have this great achievement, you have to support the army and self-respect, and you want..."

"Wei Yan is bold, how dare he be so presumptuous!" Jiang Wei on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed forward to scold loudly. Wei Yan also knew that he was rude, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated a few steps back.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the general Fei Yi and the hussar general Li Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't be annoyed, don't blame the prime minister, Wei Yan is also anxious and lost his sense of proportion for a while." The prime minister's clever calculations, we will follow the prime minister's teachings. After speaking, he hurriedly pulled Wei Yan on the side, and Wei Yan also hurriedly made amends. Li Yan continued to smile with a flattering face: "Don't mention political affairs today, Xia Guan recently heard good news from the Chengdu Palace, saying that His Majesty is grateful to the Prime Minister for his hard work, and has made great contributions to the recovery of Chang'an in the northwest. ”

The generals were overjoyed when they heard the reward, but Zhuge Liang frowned, and said: "Li Yan, who is a minister, is a minister, and it is his duty to do his best." Don't mention the matter of being crowned king in the future, I will explain it myself. The generals had nothing to disperse. Everyone looked at each other, and they all said that the promise had retreated.
