Volume 5 The General Trend of the World Chapter 99 The Four Directions
Zhuge Jin and 6 Xun walked in. After bowing, Zhuge Jin took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, Chang'an is urgent." ”
"Has the winner already been decided, and who will win?" Sun Deng asked immediately.
"The Han army won a great victory, Cao Zhen's entire army was annihilated, and even Cao Zhen himself killed himself."
"Cao Zhen killed himself...... Cao's army was completely annihilated...... So fast? ”
Generally speaking, the larger the number of people, the longer the war. Like the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao used a strategy to attack the Black Nest, which was still going on for more than a year. And now Cao Zhen is poised to wait, according to the previous estimate of 6 Xun Zhuge Jin, it is normal for the battle in Luoyang to last for a year or two. It's just that I didn't expect that the war would end after only more than two months.
"Your Majesty, that's right, according to the Tanmalai report, after Cao Zhen captured Xingyang, he marched into Luoyang, and the Han general Zhang Ren led the army to take the mountain road between Sili and Yingchuan, and attacked Xingyang. Cutting off Cao Zhen's retreat, Cao Zhen counterattacked Xingyang on the 12th, but failed to capture Xingyang, and Han reinforcements arrived, besieging Cao Zhen between Xingyang and Luoyang. ”
"Wei shouldn't be Cao Zhen's men, as far as I know, Yingchuan Xiahouba, Hedong Wang Ling, and Chen Liu, all have heavy guards, what about the reinforcements in these three places? Have you ever attacked Xingyang? ”
"These three people did not send a single soldier to support Cao Zhen." Zhuge Jin opened his mouth and said.
"What, how is this possible? Tan didn't even send reinforcements, aren't you afraid that Cao Rong will blame him? ”
"Your Majesty, not only that, after Cao Zhen's defeat and retreat, Xiahou Ba has already dedicated Yingchuan, Xu Capital City has been occupied, such as the Xun family and the Zhong family have been relocated. In addition, several families such as the Kong family and the Wei family have taken refuge in Liu Chan. ”
"Well, it is reasonable to count Xiahouba as Liu Chan's uncle, and it is understandable to surrender to Liu Chan." Sun Deng nodded and said.
"Also, according to the report from the spies, the Han army has invaded Yanzhou, Liu Chan sent Guan Xing to garrison Chenliu, Guan Ping to attack Wu, Wang Ping to attack Jiyin, and Jiang Wei's vanguard has attacked the territory of Dongjun. Presumably, it will not be long before the entire Yanzhou will be occupied by the Han army. 6 Xun spoke.
"Your Majesty, there is another thing that we just found out, that Xu Shu has also surrendered to Liu Chan, and Chen Liucheng is Xu Shu's offering."
"Yes. My cousin was pretty fast...... Two Aiqing, what are your countermeasures? Sun Deng asked.
"Your Majesty, as expected by the Xun Yuanchen of the Han Army, Cao Zhen was defeated in just a few months, and the minister asked for an order to immediately send troops north and attack Xuzhou." 6 Xun said immediately.
"Someone, get the map!" Sun Deng walked down, and Huang Hao hurriedly picked up a map and threw himself on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please see." 6 Xun took a step forward and pointed to the location of Xuzhou: "Your Majesty, now Yingchuan Xiahou Ba has surrendered to Liu Chan, so our army can only attack Runan from Jingzhou to the east, and then it can be practiced with Shouchun."
6 Xun pointed to the location of Yanzhou again: "According to this degree, it is inevitable for Liu Chan to seize Yanzhou, and in his eyes to the southeast, it is Xuzhou." There is no danger in Xuzhou, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Easy to attack. Now there is only one Sima Yi's Huaibei battalion to block, as long as Your Majesty defeats Sima Yi's Huaibei battalion, our army can go straight to Xuzhou, enter Qingzhou, and then pounce on Jizhou, occupying half of the country. ”
"Well, that's a good point, it's just that Sima Yi of the Huaibei camp is three points more powerful than Zhang Liao back then, and the emperor's several northern expeditions were blocked by this Huaibei camp." Sun Deng said thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, Cao Zhen attacked Luoyang and took away most of the troops of Wei, and now Yanzhou has been attacked by Liu Chan, so Wei must not have any extra troops to send to Huaibei, Sima Yi is lonely, and the minister is willing to issue a military order to take Huaibei and dedicate it to Your Majesty!" 6. Cut through the ironclad way.
"The general is loyal and patriotic, I can trust you, and the military order will be exempted." Sun Deng waved his hand.
At this time, Zhuge Jin stood up again: "Your Majesty, Liaodong Gongsun Yuan's side, earlier than the first emperor and the covenant, when Your Majesty attacks Jizhou, you can send an envoy to Liaodong, seal Liaodong Gongsun Yuan as the king of Yan, allow him to take charge of Youzhou, and change his troops to attack Youzhou from Liaodong, Wei will be defeated by the enemy." Big things can be decided. ”
"Yes, there is also a Gongsun Yuan. King Yan, I can give it to him, is this Youzhou......" Sun Deng looked a little hesitant, obviously reluctant to give Youzhou to Gongsun Yuan.
"Your Majesty, don't forget that there is Karasuma on the northern frontier eyeing my Central Plains. If we enter Jizhou and destroy Cao Wei, the northern frontier Karasuma will definitely invade our Central Plains, and Gongsun Yuan's Liaodong Iron Cavalry has defeated Karasuma several times and given him Youzhou, but he can contact me and make trouble. After settling Jizhou, His Majesty will send troops to conquer Youzhou, and at that time, with his thin and sparsely populated Youzhou, he can still stop my army! ”
"What the prime minister said makes sense."
"Your Majesty, also, the minister suggested that the two generals He Qi and Lu Fan should lead the water army, go north along the coast, and quickly occupy Qingzhou." 6 Xun continued.
In order to capture Yizhou during Sun Quan's time, the Jiangdong Navy began to train to fight across the sea and Deng6, and now the Navy is transporting five or six thousand soldiers to the Shandong Peninsula, which is absolutely difficult for the Dongwu Navy.
6 Xun stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of the Shandong Peninsula, and then said, "Your Majesty, please see." This Donglai is only one sea away from Liaodong, as long as Qingzhou is occupied, our Jiangdong naval army can be connected with Liaodong by sea, which will be of great help to my X rear attack. ”
Sun Deng nodded slightly, and asked, "General, according to this calculation, how many soldiers and horses do you need?" ”
"Your Majesty, if you win this battle. We can get the land of Qing, Xu, and Hebei, and the rivers and mountains of Cao Wei, and we occupy seventy percent. However, Cao Rong will definitely not sit still, and will definitely resist with all his might, so the minister thinks that we should go on a northern expedition with the strength of the country! 6 Xun spoke.
"Nationwide?" Sun Deng hesitated again.
6 Xun's power is already big enough, if he hands over the army to 6 Xun, if 6 Xun rebels, Sun Deng, the emperor, will be unstable.
Sun Deng took a deep breath and coughed violently, instantly covering up the hesitation just now.
"Ahem, two Aiqing, I have occasionally felt cold in the past few days, and my body is a little unwell."
Zhuge Jin's eyes flashed, and Sun Deng's hesitation did not hide from Zhuge Jin, but Zhuge Jin immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the foundation of the country, you should pay attention to the dragon body." However, please ask Your Majesty to decide on this issue as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, everything will depend on what the prime minister and the general say. Passed the decree, General Feng led the governor of the three armies and set out for the Northern Expedition. ”
"Obey the order!" 6 Xun said immediately.
Seeing that 6 Xun agreed so happily, a trace of displeasure rose in Sun Deng's heart, and then Sun Deng's mind flashed and said: "This war is related to the fortune of our country, and there is no room for loss, Prime Minister, you are also familiar with military affairs, I will order you to supervise the army's grain and grass, and there is no room for loss." ”
"Obey." Zhuge Jin stood up and agreed, but there was no joy on his face.
……
Zhuge Jin and 6 Xun walked out of the main hall. 6 Xun was excited, but Zhuge Jin had a trace of sadness between his eyebrows.
"Brother Ziyu, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it is when my lord enters the Central Plains, why are you frowning?"
"Uh......" Zhuge Jin looked at 6 Xun. These 6 Xun led the troops to fight and deal with government affairs. All of them are refined, but in terms of officials, they are indeed lacking. The so-called high merit shocks the master, 6 Xun doesn't seem to be aware at all.
If Sun Quan was better, but Sun Deng, the young emperor, did not have any merits worth showing off, and he would definitely be even more taboo against this courtier with high achievements. If 6 Xun had enough political sense, he would definitely not agree to lead the troops to the battle, but would recommend others, but 6 Xun was politically sensitive, and he really didn't dare to be complimented.
There are many things that can't be explained in words, Zhuge Jin wants to mention some 6 Xun, but he doesn't know where to start.
"Hey, Boyan...... This...... Everything needs to be done carefully! ”
6 Xun looked at Zhuge Jin in surprise, Zhuge Jin held back for a long time, and then held back such a sentence, which made 6 Xun a little confused.
……
Huaibei, the Wei army Huaibei camp.
In the tent, only Sima Yi sat alone in the middle. At this time, Sima Yi looked at the front with a dull gaze, and his expression looked very decadent.
"It's over, it's all over! Cao Zhen was defeated, and he was defeated......" Sima Yi muttered to himself.
Footsteps came, and the brothers Sima Shi and Sima Zhao walked in.
"Father's ......"
Sima Yi looked up at his two sons, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
Sima Shi and Sima Zhao are both outstanding people. Maybe it's because of his age, Sima Shi is better than Sima Zhao, but Sima Shi's temper is a little short-tempered, while Sima Zhao is much more peaceful.
"Hey, the general is defeated, defeated! This defeat is not good! Sun Deng in the south will definitely not settle down, presumably he will move his army north in the near future, and he can't hold it with our Huaibei camp. Before the enemy comes, the two of you will immediately pack up your softness and hurry back to Yecheng! lest the Jiangdong army come, and it will not be able to escape. Sima Yi sighed and spoke.
"Father, let's go together!" Sima Shi said immediately.
"No, as the main general, how can I escape." Sima Yi shook his head.
Next to him, Sima Zhao's brows furrowed, and he spoke after a long time: "Father, the child thinks that if he can't stop it, it's better to surrender, and with his father's ability, he will achieve Dingyuan Zhuge Jin and 6 Xun." ”
"What do you say? Surrender? You don't want to talk nonsense! ”
"Father, the child is not talking nonsense, according to the child, the Wei Kingdom is over, it is better to descend early and make a good name!" Sima Zhao continued.
"It's a big rebellion!" Sima Yi slapped the table and stood up.
Sima Shi hurriedly pulled Sima Zhao behind him, and at the same time leaned forward: "Father, stop the anger, stop the anger!" ”
Sima Zhao, on the other hand, still took it for granted, not realizing his mistake at all.
Sima Yi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, and then Sima Yi thought about it carefully, and realized that what Sima Zhao said was very reasonable.
"Yes, Great Wei Kingdom, it's over, do I have to hold on any longer......"
