Han Pu County Wangnai is the state governor of Gu Zang. Regardless of the situation before the fall of the Northland, right now, his family is still a relatively large family in Liangzhou. Therefore, he did not trust what Li Yanzhao, an unheard of general in the army, said.

Han Pu asked himself that he was a child of a high-ranking family, and he could be regarded as a scholar who had read a lot. He has his own views on military affairs. Therefore, he only repaid a sneering attitude in his heart about Li Yanzhao's repeated words of wealth and wealth, but he only saw that Li Yanzhao's soldiers were full of spirit and had a bit of elite nature, so he had the patience to ask questions.

This time, Zhang Yuanjun has already made a plan with him. After crossing the river, Han Pu led 10,000 Liangzhou elites into Jincheng to prepare for Liu Zhao's possible Koubian operation. After all, the gap between Liangzhou and Liu Zhao is obvious in the comparison of strength now.

Zhang Zhijun asked him to transfer the population and materials in Jincheng County to Liangzhou as much as possible after he was stationed in Jincheng. And assist the county soldiers to defend Zhang Lang in Jincheng, and build forts on the front line of Jincheng, and at the same time, they must not go too deep, so as not to stimulate the fragile and sensitive nerves of Liu Zhao's high-level and provoke Liu Zhao's military attack on Liangzhou in advance.

Li Yanzhao took out a piece of straw paper from his arms, which was a miniature version of the sketched map of the Longxi region that he had drawn based on the sentry riders before. Unfolded and was about to talk to Han Pu in detail, but felt that the light around him was slightly dim, so he said to Han Pu again: "The last general is a little foolish. Let's ask Han Sima to take a look. ”

Li Yanzhao took the sketch and walked with Han Pu and several of his senior generals to the left side of the gate, and a few torches illuminated the nearby open space as if it were day. Li Yanzhao adjusted the angle, then stood beside Han Pu and held this sketch in front of Han Pu.

When Han Pu saw this piece of papyrus, he carefully drew many counties, mountains, and rivers in the land of Henan. I couldn't help but look even more surprised in my eyes. Although this sketchy map is sketchy, the terrain and strongholds are already available. It has a sense of jumping on paper.

Li Yanzhao pointed to a place in the picture close to the south bank of the Yellow River, at the bend of the river, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "This is the Jincheng County Governor's Office. We have crossed the river several times before, and we have all passed near here. On the north bank of Jincheng County, there is Shajing Station. This is the only way to enter our county from Longxi. If the general wants to cross the river and go, he will not be able to prevent Liu Zhao's tiger and wolf army with only a lonely city in Jincheng. ”

"Then, as you can see, what should we do after we cross the river?" Hearing that what Li Yanzhao said was reasonable, Han Pu couldn't help but change his opinion of him a little.

"Han Sima can divide 5,000 troops and cut down wood at the Shajing Post in Hebei Province. The walls must be built strongly. Then on the big river, set up a pontoon bridge. In this way, Hebei and Henan can echo and support each other. If the enemy army wants to smuggle across the river, bypass Jincheng, and take Guangwu directly, it is also not feasible. Han Sima can command the soldiers of the people and build the walls of Jincheng to fight against the possible attack in the future. ”

After Han Sima crossed the river, he could stay in Jincheng to stay a small number of soldiers, Sima personally led the main force, starting from Jincheng, first to the southeast, along the mountain valley, but a few days, you can go straight to Longxi County. Han Sima can make a long drive straight in, directly take the situation of Longxi and Nan'an two counties, Longxi is weakly garrisoned, and it is an active area of Diqiang, and the defenders of the two counties will not dare to go out of the city. The general can calmly collect the goods of the people and transport them back to our territory. ”

At first, Han Pu listened to Li Yanzhao's slow words, but he didn't feel any different. However, the more I heard it, the more frightened I felt. The task given to him by Zhang Yuanjun was just to defend the vicinity of Jincheng and act as a barrier to defend Liangzhou, how could he dare to rush into 300 miles lightly as Li Yanzhao said, and transfer most of the people and goods in Longxi to Liangzhou?

Looking at the map in front of him, thinking about it, Han Sima's brows were already tightly furrowed: "If Liu Zhao sends light cavalry to the west and attacks our army, what will he do?" ”

"Liu Zhao's capital city of Chang'an, six or seven hundred miles away from the two counties of Longxi and Nan'an. What's more, judging from the current situation, Liu Zhao is not ready to go to war with me. According to what Yu Xia saw, Liu Zhao just wanted to destroy Chen An, get Longwangshu, and then attack our state with a lot of anger. Now that the autumn grain is ripe, Liu Zhao has been slow to hold his troops and let Chen An linger on the ground. Is it the work of a good fighter? ”

Li Yanzhao took a breath, then looked straight at Han Pu, and said word by word: "What Liu Zhao plans must be Liangzhou!" If it moves, it will be around the middle of next year! ”

Hearing Li Yanzhao's affirmative words, Han Pu hesitated for a moment, and then waved his hand: "Li Bairen, please return to the camp." Such a brilliant plan, I will make a decision after discussing it with the generals! ”

Hearing Han Pu's noncommittal tone, Li Yanzhao knew that he didn't say anything about him. However, at this time, even if there are a thousand words to try to convince the elite coach of the state, in the face of his resolute attitude and hard rhetoric, he can only give up.

After saluting and saying goodbye, Han Pu hurriedly returned the salute, then turned around and prepared to take a group of generals back to the big tent. Looking at Han Pu's distant back, Li Yanzhao, who was still in an arching posture, said unwillingly: "The prosperity and decline of Liangzhou is here." Han Sima, please cherish it! ”

Li Yanzhao paused slightly when he saw Han Pu's figure in the distance, but after a moment, he still strode away without looking back.

Li Yanzhao, who was extremely disappointed, had to walk back to the side of the queue of his own cavalry who was pushing, and then waved his hand helplessly, and the cavalry lined up one by one, followed his hundred people out of the fish, and headed towards the gate of the camp.

Han Pu strode along, but a young general beside him came to his side and asked in a low voice without inquiry: "Han Sima thinks that the strategy discussed by the hundred generals is feasible?" ”

When Han Pu heard this person's voice, he knew that it was his nephew Han Ning, who was in charge of the baggage in the army at this time. So he didn't shy away from it, and said bluntly: "This is a rash strategy, and it is not advisable." ”

"Why does my uncle think so? What the hundred people said, according to the little nephew's humble opinion, although he was a little rash, it was not a good policy. Now that it is approaching winter, it is not advisable to use troops. Liu Zhao is unmoved, presumably this year will not do the sword soldier thing, we can deal with it calmly, the population and wealth of Longxi will be moved to our state, in the long run, under the elimination of the other, our state will become stronger and stronger, and Liu Zhao will become weaker and weaker......"

"Silence!" Before Han Ning could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Han Pu. Han Pu frowned, and his big calloused hand had already slapped Han Ning's iron helmet hard, which shocked Han Ning's ears and kept ringing. Han Ning had never seen such a vulgar and violent uncle who was usually steady and quiet.

Seeing that Han Ning was no longer speechless, Han Pu pulled his sleeve and motioned for him to follow him. The two walked a few steps quickly, leaving aside the generals, and after coming to the big tent, Han Pucai looked at his nephew with a worried face: "Before leaving, the envoy once instructed me: 'Go to guard Jincheng, thinking that the barrier of our state, the ordnance has been ordered to be supplied by Guangwu County, and the grain and grass are transferred from the state. ’”

"Ning'er, although you are quite enterprising, please remember. For generals, it is most taboo to move without permission. I also know that even if our army drives straight into Longxi and Nan'an counties, Liu Zhao will not do anything with us. But what does the envoy think of me? How will the Yin and Suo families, who have a gap with my family, look at me? ”

"The soldiers are also fierce! Not only the battlefield fighting, but also the sword and the shadow. You have to guard against cold arrows in the back! Han Pu patted his nephew Han Ning, who had a sudden look on his face: "Remember! Remember! ”

Han Ning nodded when he heard this, and said thoughtfully: "Thank you uncle for reminding me, my little nephew will always keep this in mind in the future." to live up to his uncle's teachings. ”

Han Pu smiled with relief: "If Ning'er is like this, it should be the best." It is necessary to know that those who are generals must be cautious step by step, and they must not lightly cross the thunder pool, which is the way to self-survival. ”
