Chapter 858: A Good Guard
Su Zhe is familiar with history, how can he not have heard of Huo Jun's name.
Historically, in the battle of Liu Bei's theft of Yizhou, after turning his face with Liu Zhang, he once faced a two-sided attack by Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang.
And this Huo Jun, with 800 soldiers and horses, held the Jiameng Pass and resisted the attack of Zhang Lu's fourfold army for nearly a year.
Huo Jun also became famous in the first battle and became a good general in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
This Huo Jun appeared in Shaanxi County at this time, which means that if you want to capture this city, you must pay double the price.
"What is the origin of this Huo Jun, I haven't heard of it, such an important city, the big-eared thief actually sent a nobody, he is too arrogant." Yan Liang said disdainfully.
Su Zhe said: "The more unknown people are, the more extraordinary their abilities, I am afraid that this Huo Jun will make this Shaanxi County a difficult bone to gnaw." ”
Everyone's expressions moved, and their eyes couldn't help but show suspicion, obviously not believing that this Huo Jun could have any powerful ability.
Deng Ai said: "Fa Zheng is the Tai of the Han Kingdom...... Wei is Liu Bei's right-hand man, and Liu Bei is willing to send it...... It's a bit strange to send him to guard Shaanxi County. ”
"Wenhe, what do you think?" Su Zhe looked at Jia Xu who was shrunk in the corner.
Jia Xu stroked his short beard, coughed a few times and said: "If the old man is not mistaken, Liu Bei wants to drag our army as much as possible, so as to buy him time to ambush the Qiang soldiers, and then his army will open Tongguan and cooperate with the soldiers of Shaanxi County to attack inside and outside, so as to break our army." ”
Qiang soldiers?
This word appeared in the field of vision of most generals for the first time.
"I've heard of the Qiang soldiers, could it be that they are more powerful than the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and they actually gave Liu Bei the courage to take the initiative to attack?" Veteran Huang Zhong also questioned.
Su Zhe looked at Zhang Xiu and asked, "Zicong, you are from Xiliang, you should know the Qiang people best, you might as well talk about the Qiang people." ”
Zhang Xiu said: "Everyone thinks that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is fierce, but in fact, you don't know that there are many Qiang Hu mixed in the Xiliang Cavalry, but these Qiang people are all Qiang people after Sinicization. ”
"After the Qiang people moved to Liangzhou from the inside, they rebelled repeatedly, and almost every year they had to fight with the Liangzhou border army, so it can be said that they lived in war all the year round, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are all soldiers."
"The Qiang people that Liu Bei wants to surrender are not those Sinicized Qiang people, but the Xiqiang tribes in the area of Jincheng County, the combat power of these Qiang people is more fierce than those Sinicized Qiang people, if Liu Bei is appeased, at least sixty or seventy thousand Xiqiang iron horses can be pieced together, and the strength should not be underestimated."
After listening to Zhang Xiu's description, all the generals couldn't help but be slightly moved.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is already powerful enough, and now the Xiqiang Iron Cavalry that Liu Bei wants to appease is even more powerful than the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and there are sixty or seventy thousand people, so how can the generals not be jealous.
For a moment, the big tent fell silent.
Su Zhe sneered: "How many battles did the Han court fight with the Xiqiang people back then, and how many Han family sons and daughters were killed and wounded, and now the big-eared thief does not hesitate to drink and talk with the Xiqiang people, hooking up his shoulders, he is really worthy of his ancestors." ”
Zhang Xiu also sarcastically said: "Liu Daer was originally a hypocrite, for his own ambitions, he could do whatever it takes, Dong Zhuo treated him so well back then, didn't he still betray Dong Zhuo." ”
The generals nodded their heads, and sarcasm rang out in the tent.
Su Zhe drank a glass of wine, but said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what kind of person the big-eared thief is, even if he is a true gentleman, he has to die, let's talk about it now, how to quickly break through Shaanxi County, enter Tongguan as soon as possible, capture Guanzhong, and don't give the big-eared thief the opportunity to use the Xiqiang Iron Cavalry." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan." In the midst of the discussion, Deng Ai's voice was the loudest and confident.
Su Zhe flicked his hand and motioned for him to continue.
Deng Ai stood up, walked to the map, and gestured: "Your Majesty knows that there is an immortal who calls for wind and rain...... Immortal arts, so the minister wants to ask His Majesty to send a ...... Ma, bypassing Shaanxi County, copied the lake to the west from the Yellow River...... Lake County. ”
"As long as Your Majesty can cast a spell and freeze the Yellow River, my surprise attack will be able to successfully attack the ferry and take the lake in one fell swoop...... Lake County. ”
"As long as Huxian is taken, Shaancheng will become a lonely city, even if Huo Jun has the ability to reach the sky, I see how long he can defend it!"
Speaking of agitation, Deng Ai's mouth is also sharp, and he doesn't stutter anymore.
As soon as Deng Ai's plan came out, the emotions of the generals in the big tent immediately became excited.
"Okay, Xiao Dengzi's clever plan, the minister thinks it is feasible." Yan Liang immediately agreed.
The rest of the generals also joined in.
Su Zhe's eyes wandered over the map, but he asked, "How many people and horses are there in Huxian County, and who is guarding them?" ”
"Your Majesty, Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Hu County, echoing the east and west of Shaanxi County." Hu Che'er replied.
"Zhang Fei, 10,000 soldiers and horses......" Su Zhe tapped his fingertips on the desk and muttered to himself.
In the corner, there was a soft cough.
Su Zhe was attracted by the familiar coughing sound, and looked for the sound, but saw that Jia Xu was pretending to fake a cough, obviously having something to say, but he was unwilling to take the initiative to speak.
"Wenhe, if you have something to say, just say it, what is there to cough up, aren't you afraid to cough your lungs out." Su Zhe said sarcastically.
Jia Xu was embarrassed, so he had to smile bitterly: "It's really ashamed to be seen through by Your Majesty, the old minister does have something to say." ”
"Then say it, I'll listen." Su Zhe waved his hand.
Jia Xu said unhurriedly: "The old minister is thinking, Huxian is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, and it is impossible for the enemy army not to prevent our army from landing on the water, and His Majesty's immortal skills are already well known, I am afraid that whether it is Fa Zheng or Zhuge Liang, it will prevent Your Majesty from freezing the Yellow River." ”
Jia Xu coughed for a while, and then said: "So, the minister is thinking, if the enemy has been prepared for a long time and sets up a heavy defense at the ferry north of Huxian, even if Your Majesty freezes the Yellow River, he may not really be able to attack the shore." ”
Jia Xu's words made the agitation of the generals weaken by three points, and the big tent was quiet for a while.
"What Master Jia said, it's not ...... It makes sense. Even Deng Ai himself has not become more confident.
Su Zhe didn't speak, but closed his eyes, connected to the quantum meteorological satellite overhead with brain waves, and began to observe the terrain between the entire Shaanxi County and Hu County.
The topography of Hongnong County is long and narrow from east to west, and the topography of Huxian County and Shaanxi County is the Yellow River in the north and the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains in the south.
If Su Zhe wanted to bypass Shaanxi County and attack Huxian County in the west, in addition to a surprise attack from the water of the Yellow River, he could only turn over the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains in the south.
"System, immediately describe the topography of the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains, and plan the most suitable road to Huxian for me."
