In November, Sun Quan condemned Lu Su as an envoy and secretly went to Hanzhong, x

Cao Cao's north was stable, but Guanzhong was actually divided by the princes, and Cao Cao wanted to build railroad tracks into Guanzhong and strengthen control, but was strongly opposed by the princes.

Guanzhong was the place where Cao Cao had to be stabilized, but the princes finally ended up in the imperial court in name, but it had no practical significance.

The area of Guanzhong is vast, and the four passes of Dongtong Pass (Hangu Pass), Xisan Pass (Dazhen Pass), Nanwu Pass (Blue Pass) and North Xiao Pass (Jinsuo Pass) are encircled. Its south leans on the Qinling Mountains, the Wei River passes through it, the material is a treasure of the sky, and the people are outstanding and spiritual. There are natural terrain barriers on all sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, since the Warring States period, there is a saying of "the country of four stops", like a huge iron bucket, placed in the land of China, unbreakable.

The reason why Cao Cao couldn't raise all his strength in the north to compete with Yang Xi was because Guanzhong did not obey discipline.

Since Cao Cao wanted to build a railway track to cross Tongguan, but was rejected by the generals in Guanzhong, Ma Chao, Han Sui, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu and other ten generals combined more than 100,000 troops, stationed in Tongguan, and rejected Cao Cao in the east.

Cao Cao was very helpless, this Tongguan is famous, and it is indeed difficult to pass.

But what kind of person is Cao Cao, in this world, except for Yang Xi, he really doesn't put anyone in his eyes at the moment, of course, there is also Liu Bei who is nested in Hanzhong.

Cao Cao's strategic plan was to take Guanzhong first, and then go south to clean up Hanzhong or go west to take Liangzhou.

So Cao Cao raised an army of 150,000 to the west, went to Tongguan, and confronted Han Sui, Ma Chao and others.

Ma Teng, the father of Ma Chao, was supposed to join the court as a guard lieutenant the next year, but after Yang Xi came here, he promoted the process, and Cao Cao was supposed to go west three years later, but this was more than three years ahead of schedule.

It was Cao Cao who did not kill Ma Teng's entire family, but directly pushed the living Ma family army to the opposite side.

But after Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi, he was still able to defeat Ma Chao Han Sui, and now in the year before the Battle of Chibi, although Yang Xi has eaten away many strengths, it is the peak of its heyday.

At this time, even in November, the north was cold, and Cao Cao knew that Tongguan could not be crossed, and Jia Xu said: "If the public wants to take Guanzhong, why is it so troublesome." Now that I have been reforming for a long time, it has been quite effective, and where can I still make a common sense to conquer the war. Just rest on the spot, Han Sui Ma Chao's military horses are contained in Tongguan, but in Hedong County (because of the east of the Yellow River, it is for the east of the river) to build a large number of boats, only for the purpose of crossing the river to the west, and in the spring of next year, more than 100 small boats will come out, and the prime minister can directly enter the west of the river, and then wave the army south to cross the Weishui with boats, and then cut off the road for Ma Chao to return to the west, Han Sui and Ma Chao must not jump for a while. ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao thought that after the construction of the dock began from the north, wherever the river went, there was no longer a card to speak of. The big river makes a big boat, and the small river makes a small boat, and it is easy to cross it. The Yellow River is in a hurry, and in the past, boats used people to row the water, even if it was a slow place, they could not resist the current, but now there are manpower propeller boats, not to mention that the river is rampant, but it is easy to cross the two banks, or go up and down at the slow flow.

But these Liangzhou soldiers can't do it.

Moreover, after Cao Cao built ships, these ships were not wasted at all and could still be adjusted for commercial use.

Cao Cao took Jia Xu's plan and began to build a dock with Hedong County, so as to cross the river and take Hanoi after the ship was completed next year.

After inquiry, Yang Xi finally knew that Cheng Pu had really entered the army at this moment, but now he was in Tai Shici's legion, and the chief of staff of any regiment in the staff department was only a lieutenant colonel.

There is no way, even if he is a famous general in the world, when he enters the Chenhe military system, he has to compete according to his military exploits and strength.

Tai Shici's army was in Xuzhou, and it happened that Cai Yong and Cai Yan's hometown was in Chenliu, so Yang Xi invited Cai Yong, Cai Yan, and Da Qiao's family to cross the Yangtze River and board the rail car from Yi County, all the way south and then east, through Lujiang County and Jiujiang County to Xuzhou.

Along the way, Cai Yong sighed with emotion, but he didn't expect that he would be able to go back to his hometown in his lifetime.

You must know that at his age of seventy-five, even if he takes a carriage and travels thousands of miles from Jiangxia to Chenliu, he will definitely be tossed to death.

From Yixian County to the south through Qichun, bypassing Dabie Mountain, to Lujiang County, through Shu County, the rail car runs all the way, the speed is 60 kilometers per hour.

Cai Yong said with emotion: "The world has changed so much, it's incredible, since Emperor Ling, there have been wars for many years, and I don't want the south to rise, but because of Chenhe, you alone." ”

How dare Yang Xi take credit, after all, Cai Yong, a Confucian name, pays attention to humility.

"My lord, you have an overreputation, my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce has some merits, but it is only a merit in gathering the wisdom of the world, and the one who really makes this situation happen, all the people of Chenhe spare no effort to build."

Cai Yong nodded and said: "I don't want you to do such a great job in Chenhe, but you also know how to be humble, I was a little worried about you before, but now it seems that I am too worried." ”

In a few days, the rail train arrived in Hefei City, and in the distance I saw Hefei City, a very high bronze statue stands

Tens of meters high on the square platform. The bronze statue looks very similar to Yang Xi's first standing with the giant ship of the Yangtze River, with his feet slightly apart, his left hand behind him, his right hand in his hand, pointing to the ground, and looking at the image of the heroes by the river.

Cai Yong saw the bronze statue, but he was silent, Yang Xi knew that in this case, with Cai Yong's old thoughts, he criticized a few words, which was considered a big face.

However, Yang Xi himself thought to himself, this thing really has the essence of my demeanor, Zhuge Jin, this guy, is really good at sycophants.

Half a day later, the rail train passed through Shouchun and other counties, and reached Linhuai County, when he arrived at the Huai River, Yang Xi was a little excited.

Tian Han reminded: "Lord Cai! Two sisters-in-law! Note, the front is Gongzi personally planned and designed, and personally supervised the construction of the Xuzhou Huaihe Bridge, this bridge is more than a mile long, divided into two layers, for the first bridge today, majestic, don't miss it! ”

Everyone was reminded, quickly got up and looked out, and saw that in front of them, on the big river, a gray and white dragon was lying on the big river, connecting the two sides of the Huai River, connecting each other, which was a miracle.

Cai Yong couldn't help but burst into tears and said: "I saw someone erect your bronze statue in Hefei City before, and I felt a little lost in my heart, but at this time, seeing this miracle, Chenhe, your merits are really worthy of it!" ”

Yang Xi knew that this old man was pedantic, but he didn't expect to be sensible, and he was very relieved.

The rail car went to Xiapi and Chen Liu, and Yang Xi ordered Tian Han to lead 500 guards to escort Cai Yong and Cai Yan back to their hometown of Wai County, and he went directly to Chen Liucheng to find Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu learned that Yang Xi was coming to find him, and hurried to the Chenliu County Mansion to meet him.

"Chief of Staff Cheng, don't come unharmed!" Seeing Cheng Pu again, Yang Xi quipped.

Cheng Pu's old face flushed and said: "Don't make fun of me, Lao Cheng, I'm only in my forties, and I'm not old yet, after thinking about it, I still decided to go out of the mountains to make a fuss, so as to borrow your platform to see if I can break through to the famous hall." ”

"Where do you dare to make fun of you, we are old friends, with Lao Cheng's ability, there should be no problem to be a general, if it weren't for the strict rules of my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, I would have directly ordered you to get on the horse." How is it? Can you get used to staying in the army? ”

"Get used to it! The left and right are just military life, but in your army, Cheng Mou has grown a lot of knowledge, and he is defeated under you, but he is not wronged. By the way, there should be something to do when you came to me today. ”

Cheng Pu knows his current status, in the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, there are 10,000 people who are more important than him, and the matter that can alarm Yang Xi is definitely not small.

Yang Xi's eyes were stunned from Jiangxia, he sat on the rail car for several days, and when he arrived in Chenliu, he chatted with himself, but Cheng Pu definitely didn't believe it.
