Chapter 117: Zhuge Liang's arrangement
In the blurred vision of the night, Xiahou Ba couldn't tell whether the comer was friend or foe, and when he was about to give the order to be on guard, dozens of horsemen rushed close in the vast darkness, led by a burly general.
After the person approached, he pulled the reins, immediately crossed the knife, and asked loudly in the distance: "I am Zhang He, the general of the left, is the general okay?" β
Hearing that the person who came was General Zuo Zhang He, Xiahouba and the people around him looked pale, their hearts were full of joy for the rest of their lives, and they hurriedly shouted to Zhang He: "General Zhang, General Zhang, the general is here!" β
"Drive!" Hearing Xiahou Ba's slightly excited answer, Zhang He twisted the knife edge and gently patted the horse forward, "Zhongquan, where is the general?" β
"The general is inside...... Xiahou Ba's expression was gloomy, and he stood sideways after dismounting.
Zhang He turned over and dismounted, walked a few steps according to his sword, and finally saw Cao Zhen, the general who was guarded by the regiment, the Marquis of Shaoling, and the military governor of Yongliang.
Cao Zhen'an lay quietly on the stretcher, his whole body covered with a big coat, his eyes were closed, his face was gray, and he was completely unconscious.
Entering the pass from Wuguan, when Zhang He led the army to Tongguan in a hurry, the decisive battle of the main forces of the Han and Wei armies just came to an end, by inquiring about the rout of the Wei army, Zhang He learned that Cao Zhen vomited blood on the spot and fainted after being rescued by Xiahou Ba.
Zhang He saw Xiahou Ba with a gray face and a depressed face, and then looked at Cao Zhen, who was unconscious and had purple lips, and finally couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Hey! Why is the general so anxious, he has to rush to fight a decisive battle with the Shu army, if he can hold out until the army of Hao comes, why is it so far? β
Xiahou Ba couldn't see that Zhang He said that Cao was really not, and said quite dissatisfied: "Our army originally had an advantage in this battle, and it saw that the Shu army was about to be defeated, but who would have thought ...... In a word...... Not a crime of war. β
Saying that, Xiahou Ba sighed, "General Zhang He, now is not the time to pursue this, the general's life and death are uncertain now, let's hurry back to the camp to find a doctor for treatment." β
"Hmm." Zhang He was silent for a while, then nodded: "Now, I can only go back to the camp and think about it in the long run." β
************************
The camp of the Han army, the big tent of the Chinese army
The tent was brightly lit and full of figures
Although he used the heavy armored cavalry as a big killing weapon to defeat the Wei army and win a complete victory, Zhuge Liang convened all the generals and officials overnight, because he knew very well in his heart that as far as the current situation is concerned, the Han army is far from turning the corner of the situation.
And what we have to discuss overnight today is how to digest the big cake of Yongliang.
After everyone arrived, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang went straight to the point and said: "Zhugong, now that Tongguan has been taken by us and Cao Zhen has been defeated again, the hope of the Han Dynasty has never been so truly presented in front of everyone." But the Wei thief is strong and has a large number of soldiers, and within March, the Wei thief will be able to pull out a hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of men and horses, so we must not relax. Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to return the Guanzhong lands to the Han Dynasty, so that our army can have a place to eat, and Guanzhong can quickly and continuously provide taxes, money, food, and soldiers to the imperial court. β
Zhuge Liang is sitting on the throne and talking, and everyone under the tent can listen to the gathering and not squinting, as the minister and general of Shu Han, the ruler of Shu Han. They were undoubtedly the ones who were most happy to see the land and the people under Liu Yong's rule grow at a geometric rate.
Generally speaking, every time Shu Han has more jurisdiction of a county, every time there is an additional household, and every point of national strength increases, their interests will be expanded, and their status will be more respected and stable.
In particular, Ma Jian and Fei Yi were even more sparkling and excited, obviously as young people valued by the prime minister, under the care of senior politicians, they had already heard some good news.
Sure enough, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty who was sitting on the main seat had already moved his eyes to Fei Yi: "Where is Fei Yi?" β
Fei Yi flicked his sleeves and bowed: "The lower officials are waiting for the dispatch of the officer." β
Zhuge Liang looked at Fei Yi and said: "With Jun as the Chang'an Order, Jun Ke can be promoted by the removal of the second official, and he will take office immediately." Restore law and order, arrest thieves and pacify the people, and repair the streets and alleys damaged by the war! β
Fei Yi's face showed excitement, bowed his hand, and happily promised: "Chang'an Lingyi will obey the Prime Minister's order!" β
Nodding with satisfaction, Zhuge Liang turned his gaze to Ma Jian again, his proud disciple, "Ma Jian listens to orders!" β
Ma Yan's face was happy, and he got up and bowed: "Please give instructions to the prime minister." β
"Strike Jingzhao County, Fengyi County and Fufeng County, and re-establish Jingzhao Yin, Zuo Fengyi, and Right Fufeng (although the Eastern Han Dynasty set the capital Luoyang, there are still Jingzhao Yin, Zuo Fengyi, and Right Fufeng, which is equivalent to recognizing that Chang'an still has the status of the capital, and Cao Wei established and changed Sanfu to three counties), with Jun as the lieutenant of the division, supervising the counties in Guanzhong such as Sanfu and Beidi, and organizing the collection of grain and grass and military service to Chang'an!"
Ma Tan calmly replied: "The subordinate official will receive the order, and he will live up to the expectations of the prime minister!" β
"You have to do your best!" After looking at Ma Jian with high expectations, Zhuge Liang turned back to Zhao Yun, who was the head of the military attachΓ©s, the gray-haired and old general.
"Zilong, I have a big deal for you to do."
Zhao Yun suddenly got up and clenched his fists, and his voice was like a flood: "Prime Minister, please speak!" β
Zhuge Liang stood up, slowly approached and pulled up Zhao Yun's still powerful arms and wrists, and looked at each other with the brilliance in Zhao Yun's eyes with his dark eyes, "Supervise the military of Liangzhou and Longyou with the public capital, and lead the army to ride 5,000 people to gather with the two generals Ma Dai and Deng Zhi, march to Longyou, stationed in Xiaoguan, and wait for the opportunity to attack Liangzhou." I give Zilong the right to make arbitrary decisions on the spot, if you have the opportunity to exterminate the Wei army in Liangzhou, you don't have to report it, you can directly send troops to attack the thieves. β
Zhao Yun stared at Zhuge Liang, in the face of this belated trust, he had mixed feelings, and he had not had the opportunity to lead the army alone and leave the town for many years.
After staring at it for a long time, Zhao Yuncai said word by word: "Yun...... We will live up to our mission! β
"Okay, okay." Zhuge Liang patted Zhao Yun's arm and wrist, and said earnestly: "The general is famous and the country is a general, but there are not many imperial troops. Take care of the general, Liang looks forward to witnessing the day when the four seas are mixed together with Zilong, and His Majesty will reign in the world......"
"Prime Minister......" Zhao Yun's heart warmed, and he strengthened his belief in making meritorious contributions and serving the country.
