Chapter 178 Hanzhong Taishou
Within a few days, Liu Bei received news from the direction of Fuxian that Fa Zheng, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan had returned safely, and moreover, they robbed the enemy's grain team over there and shot the enemy general Xiahou Yuan! Moreover, the Cao army led by Cao Zhen over there has also withdrawn!
The soldiers cheered again, only Zhang Fei shouted a few times, remembered something, and hid awkwardly to the side. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ge Liang could only nod secretly, no wonder Cao Cao didn't want to pass the New Year, so anxious to retreat and run away.
Liu Bei was full of joy, since Cao Cao's army had withdrawn, he could return to Chengdu with peace of mind, saying that he had just taken Yizhou, and he was not with the officials of Yizhou for the first New Year, which was really a bit inappropriate.
"Military advisor, this time I quickly took Hanzhong, and I forced Cao Cao away so quickly, the military advisor and Fa Xiaozhi, Huang Hansheng, Wei Wenchang and others have made the first contribution, Liu Bei has thanked you in advance, and you must be rewarded well." Tell me, what do you think? Liu Bei found Ge Liang to chat privately, and it seemed that he was going to plan a celebration banquet.
"Reward? Lord, then you can reward me with a Hanzhong Taishou. Ge Liang hurriedly said.
"Hanzhong Taishou?" Liu Bei shook his head again and again, "Military advisor, do you still plan to take advantage of the victory and fight all the way to Chang'an?" Didn't you still talk about the other day that it was time to go back to Chengdu to consolidate internal affairs and improve financial resources? ”
"Of course, it is necessary to go back to Chengdu to govern internal affairs, because we have just gained Yizhou, and there is still instability everywhere, otherwise, I don't want Cao Cao to withdraw his troops, so it's good to let his army be consumed here in vain. However, there must be someone stationed in Hanzhong, does the lord have an arrangement in his heart, is it General Zhang Yide? Ge Liang asked tentatively.
Seeing that there were no people on the left and right, Liu Bei said softly: "I have thought about it for a long time, the terrain here in Hanzhong is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the army can't be used, but the people you specially trained have shown their skills here." So, I want Wei Yan to be the Taishou of Hanzhong, what do you think? ”
"Lord, Wei Yan acted without authorization, did not obey the military order, and did not punish him for the crime of being magnanimous, why should he be promoted unusually?" Ge Liang objected, although he had known that Liu Bei would promote Wei Yan.
Liu Bei said disapprerovingly: "Alas, military advisor, didn't they rob the enemy's military rations behind enemy lines, and also shot Xiahou Yuan together, don't mention that little section again." Besides, haven't we already agreed to their actions and sent him reinforcements? At this time, don't pursue him anymore. We can't go back on our word, can we? What's more, we kept it under wraps and didn't mention it to other officials? ”
"Lord, then why can't I stay in Hanzhong and be a taishou?" Ge Liang has always had his own arrangements in mind.
Liu Bei took Ge Liang's hand affectionately: "Military advisor, I know your thoughts. When you asked to be stationed in Ba County, it was actually because you wanted to lead troops to fight, didn't you? You want to be the Taishou of Hanzhong now, and you also want to have the opportunity to lead the army to fight on the front line, right? ”
Ge Liang nodded quickly, shook his head again, and nodded again.
Liu Bei laughed: "The military advisor wants to tell me that he is willing to be my Zhang Liang, not Xiao He?" ”
Ge Liang grabbed Liu Bei's hand and leaned his forehead up: "The lord really knows my heart!" "I come from a military family, and I am passionate about fighting, and when it comes to the internal affairs of the Lord, it is really not my strong point.
Liu Bei patted Ge Liang on the shoulder: "Through the battle of Hanzhong, I have a new understanding of the talent of the military division. However, military advisor, now that Cao's army has withdrawn, there is no major war in Hanzhong for a while, so you should go back to Chengdu with me first. I want you to stay with me for a while, so that I can ask for more advice from the military advisor. You see, according to the current situation, it won't be long before we can directly confront Cao Cao's army, and there will be a chance at that time, right? ”
When it came to this, Ge Liang couldn't say no, he could only nod his head and agree, and he was still reluctant: "Actually, my original intention was to stay in Hanzhong and let Wei Yan lead the army to attack Shangyong and Fangling and other places, so that he could go down the Han River and respond to General Jingzhouguan's future actions in Xiangyang and Fancheng." ”
Liu Bei nodded and said, "I've already thought of this." Strategist, I have decided to let Feng'er lead the army to attack Shangyong. Alas, young people, it is time for him to go through more. ”
No! Isn't this a return to history? Ge Liang felt that all his thoughts were in vain: "Lord, let's let Wei Yan go!" ”
Send Liu Feng to Shangyong, when the time comes, won't Guan Yu be saved when he sees death? Only by letting a person like Wei Yan fight chicken blood all day long to the top, even if Guan Yu doesn't open his mouth, he will take the initiative to send troops!
Liu Bei saw that Ge Liang's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Military Master, what's wrong with you?" Is there anything wrong? ”
Can I say that Liu Feng is too selfish now? No proof! Ge Liang had to think of another reason: "The mountains and rivers over there are dangerous, and it is where Wei Yan and them give full play to their strengths, so it seems more appropriate for him to go." ”
Liu Bei was a little unhappy, and changed the topic and said: "Strategist, this time it was all thanks to the sergeants you trained that made great contributions, how did you come up with the idea of training such an army?" Otherwise, let's give them a name to recognize their great achievements in this battle. ”
A name? What is the name, it can't be called a mountain special warfare division, Ge Liang didn't bother to think: "Since the lord thinks they are okay, just call them Wudang Feijun." ”
There's nothing wrong with calling it that, anyway, Wang Ping and Zhang Wei, who later became unimprisoned, are now in this team.
"Wudang Flying Army?" Liu Bei took a deep breath and immediately clapped his hands and applauded, "No one can stop it, Guanshan is unhindered!" Well, this title is good! Strategist, such a team should be expanded further! Can you send more people to train? ”
When it came to fighting, Ge Liang's words were drawn out: "Lord, in the future, we will march into Guanzhong and advance into the Central Plains, and such troops are not suitable, but we should pay more attention to the training of cavalry and infantry formations." ”
"Oh?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "Did the military advisor also have a plan?" ”
Ge Liang scratched his head and said, "This, doesn't the cavalry have General Zhang and General Ma?" The infantry formation, for the time being, has not yet considered maturity, and after the lord returns to Chengdu, I will slowly talk to the lord. ”
"Okay, then let's go back to Chengdu together, and I'll wait for the military division's plan!" After Liu Bei finished speaking, he patted Ge Liang on the shoulder again, "Regarding the matter of Hanzhong Taishou and Feng'er sending troops to Shangyong, I hope that the military division will think about it again." ”
Thinking about it? Ge Liang thought about it all night, and seemed to understand something.
A few days later, Fa Zheng and Huang Zhong, Chen Dao, Wei Yan, Zhang Wei and Wang Ping all returned. Liu Bei personally went out from Nanzheng to Yangping Pass to greet him, and held a banquet to celebrate.
At the banquet, Liu Bei announced the appointment of Wei Yan as the Taishou of Hanzhong, which surprised the generals. (To be continued.) )
