Chapter Twenty-Eight: Yang Ping Dingjiang
"Your Majesty deduced that Cao Wei would invade Yangping Pass?" Zhao Yun said lightly.
"It's not an inference, it's a must, and the leading general is Cao Zhen!" Picking up the cup and taking a sip, Liu Chan immediately said indifferently.
For this kind of historical event, Liu Chan must be convinced.
Then Liu Chan told Zhao Yun all about the attack on Shu by Cao Pi's five-way army a few months later.
Hearing this, Zhao Yun's face gradually became solemn, as a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, how could he not hear what it would be to face Shu Han if these five soldiers and horses attacked, this is the rhythm of destroying Shu Han.
The most terrifying thing is that Liu Chan is reasonable, and there is no mistake in it, so that he has to believe it.
"Your Majesty can report this matter to the Prime Minister?" After thinking for a long time, Zhao Yun felt more and more the seriousness of the situation and asked.
"Some time ago, I have told my father about this matter, and I have discussed this matter with my father, but now only the battle of Yangping is the most difficult, and there is no suitable leader for the time being."
An army of 500,000! Even if Wei and Wu deal with it, they will be anxious, and there will even be the danger of destroying the country, not to mention that today's Shu Han, the country's soldiers are only 50,000 or 60,000, and they are enemies on five sides, and there are rebellions inside, even if Zhao Yun, who has followed the first emperor for 23 years and has experienced many changes, is also a little unbreathable.
"It is still easy for the soldiers of the other four roads to resist, just this enemy of Yangping Pass, once Yangping is in danger, the other four roads will be ready to move when they get the news, so we must retreat from all five roads, so that my Shu Han side will not have to worry!" Liu Chan smiled slightly.
Seeing Liu Chan's relaxed demeanor, when Zhao Yun was thinking about how to deal with it, he found that as the prime minister said, this majesty is really different, and this calmness alone is not inferior to the first emperor.
As Liu Chan finished speaking, the two sides were silent for about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yun supported the ground with one hand, got up and left his seat, walked to the center of the hall, and bowed to Liu Chan and hugged his fists very solemnly.
"This battle, the minister is willing to go!"
It was a simple five words, but the words shook Liu Chan's heartstrings, and what shook Liu Chan was not the loudness of the voice, but the determination hidden in the words.
Even if Liu Chan was just a student in his previous life, he could hear that Zhao Yun was determined and planned to defend Yangping to the death.
"Serve!"
Liu Chan shouted and commanded.
Immediately the men brought a jar and two bowls of spirits that had been filled.
Getting up and taking two bowls of wine, Liu Chan walked off the stage and walked to Zhao Yun's side.
"The general bravely crowned the three armies, and his courage was outstanding, and the first emperor said that the general was a brave man, and today I saw it with my own eyes. One month, only one month, as long as the general guarantees that Cao Zhen will not be able to pass the Yangping Pass for a month, he will have won! ”
One month, this is not Liu Chan's blind conjecture, but after a rough calculation, only 100,000 troops to calculate, a single person a day of military expenses is 6 to 8 baht five baht, 100,000 troops from Chang'an, counting the round-trip journey, it will take at least 40 days, the cost will be nearly 3 million, grain and grass from Chang'an to the front of the army is not easy, this is also a big problem to balance Kong Ming's Northern Expedition, grain and grass is difficult to transport!
The barbarians are suspicious, and the Qiang soldiers are afraid, so although Wei Yan and Ma Chao are fighting, they have succeeded in attacking their hearts, and they only need a small victory to make the invading enemy retreat, Meng Da and Dongwu are just to maximize their personal interests, and they will never be hard to shake, after all, the soldiers of Shu Han are all battle-hardened and have extraordinary combat power, if they are in a hurry, they may not be able to make them bleed, so these two sides are more wait-and-see, and they will not fight hard at all.
In this way, this confrontation will definitely not last too long, let alone fall into a stalemate, because as time goes by, their advantage will become smaller and smaller, and Shu Han will become more and more courageous because of the battle to protect the country, and the supply of materials is not lacking.
"Your Majesty, rest assured! Even if the minister risked his life, he would definitely keep the Wei army out of Yangping Pass, and not let one person ride through the pass! Zhao Yun swore an oath.
Helping Zhao Yun up, Liu Chan said lightly: "I hope the general can be safe enough to block the Wei soldiers for a month, although Yangping Pass is important, but the general's life is heavier!" If it is really a last resort, the general can save himself first, I believe that no one will blame the general, but only blame the heavens for abandoning the Han, which is beyond the reach of manpower! ”
"Your Majesty!" Hearing this, I saw Zhao Yun's face flushed, and old tears flowed.
"On this trip, let's bring 5,000 men and horses under the general of the CD defenders, and let Zhao Tong, Zhao Guang and the brothers Zhao Guang, and Yamen General Wang Ping accompany you to the army!" Liu Chan immediately said.
Wang Ping, although there are not many records in history, but Liu Chan still appreciates it very much, the battle of the street pavilion is Wang Ping and Ma Tan stationed, during which Wang Ping also advised Ma Jian many times, but the advice was fruitless, resulting in the loss of the street pavilion, in which Ma Tan's strategy of being high and down can not be miscalculated, and it is not unreasonable, but the result proves that Wang Ping's advice is right.
Moreover, Kong Ming died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, Yang Yi Wei Yan turned his face, people only knew that Wei Yan was defeated and was killed by Ma Dai, but few people knew that it was Wang Pingyi who persuaded Wei Yan's soldiers to stop surrendering, avoiding the battle between the two armies, and preserving the already small Shu Han strength.
And this time let Wang Ping go out with Zhao Yun, Liu Chan just wanted him to hone and hone more, because Wang Ping is not suitable for the battlefield in the south and the central region, his stage lies in the north, the Northern Expedition, and even in the plan to pacify the Central Plains, Wang Pingding can play a key role, after all, around 220 is a period when the heroes of the Three Kingdoms end, many outstanding generals have passed away, and the already sparsely populated Shu Han is even more short of soldiers and major generals, and talents must be cultivated and enriched as soon as possible, especially those who are famous in the history books.
"Listen to Your Majesty's order!"
"The danger of Yangping depends on the general, I hope the general can reproduce the courage of Hanshui, defeat the Cao army, and raise the prestige of Han! General please! With that, the two of them had a drink.
Because the wine-making technology was immature in ancient times, the degree of this wine was not high, and Liu Chan only felt a little spicy after a cup of belly, and he could still eat it.
After a few words of greeting, Liu Chan immediately got up and left this different Hou Mansion under Zhao Yun's respect.
"Your Majesty, is the situation in Yangpingguan really that serious? If so, then Your Majesty allowed General Zhao to abandon the city when he saw that the situation was not good, wouldn't it affect morale? Out of the Hou Mansion, Huang Hao, who was walking on the side of the car, asked.
"Zhao Yun is a loyal minister of my Shu Han, he will not be sorry for me, especially after learning the importance of Yangping, he will never abandon the city and leave; I said that before, not only did I not leave a way back for Zhao Yun, but instead blocked all his retreats, either the city was in the people, or the city was ruined! Subsequently, Liu Chan's voice came from the car, and Huang Hao was cold when he heard this calculation.
"Your Majesty, where are we going next?"
"The front of this area!" Liu Chan said lightly, and the front of this scholar area is where the Prime Minister's Mansion is located.
