Chapter 81: Good News, Bad News
It has been more than ten days since the victory of Pujia Pass, and the residual heat of the victory has not yet dissipated, walking on the streets of Pujia Pass, you can still see the cheering people and soldiers at any time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info especially the soldiers in Pujia Pass, after this great victory, obviously feel that the people in Pujia Pass have more respect for them, and the people feel particularly comfortable with the admiration of these soldiers.
Shi Yuan had a very pleasant time this time, after the big victory, the enemy in Hanzhong will not set off any more storms in the near future, and some other small things are enough for a few generals in Pujia Pass. Shi Yuan in addition to dealing with some important things during this period of time, most of the time is used to teach Ziguang You, Shi Yuan plans to let Guang You follow General Ma Chao to the battlefield after a period of time, Shi Yuan from the later generations to cross over Shi Yuan knows that practice is the best way to learn, especially fighting, otherwise no matter how good the art of war is, it is only the second Zhao Kuo. Shiyuan's purpose is to train generals for the future Shu Han, so the sooner you go to the battlefield to sharpen yourself, the better.
Although Guang Youyou was only fourteen years old after the Chinese New Year, Guangyou's height was already comparable to that of an eighteen-year-old man at this time, and his strength was also comparable, and a spear was as fast as the wind in Guangyou's hand like a long snake. It seems that General Ma Chao has no secrets at all about teaching Guangyou, and now Guangyou has obtained the essence of General Ma Chao's marksmanship in terms of marksmanship.
On this day, Shi Yuan was teaching Guangyou the art of war in his residence, and a servant ran over in a hurry, saying that a general sent by the lord had now come to the door, and after Shi Yuan heard it, he hurriedly put down the book in his hand and walked towards the gate with Guangyou. After arriving at the gate, Shi Yuan saw a person standing outside the door, it was none other than General Li Hui, after Li Hui saw Shi Yuan, he hurriedly walked a few steps forward, and after arriving in front of Shi Yuan, he spoke first without waiting for Shi Yuan to speak.
"Congratulations, Congratulations! The military division has won such a major victory with fewer enemies, and those of us in Chengdu are very happy when they hear it! Especially the lord, he happily kept praising the military advisor in the court! ”
"Haha! How dare you, how dare you. I just came up with a little trick, how dare I monopolize such a big compliment. ”
"The military advisor is humble, without such a powerful strategy of the military advisor, he would not have been able to achieve such an important victory."
After Shi Yuan and Li Hui exchanged a few words, they walked into the courtyard of Shi Yuan's residence together, and when they arrived in the courtyard, after the two sat down, they only heard General Li Hui say:
"Strategist, the letter you wrote to the lord, General Zhao Yun brought it to the lord, and after the lord read it, he discussed it with us, and we agreed that the advisor's suggestion was very desirable, and the lord immediately agreed to the advisor's suggestion. At that moment, the lord sent General Zhang Fei to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to Brazil County, originally the lord planned to go to capture Wudu County in person, but after arriving in Jiangzhou, the lord received a letter from Mr. Zhuge , after seeing it, the lord immediately changed the order, let General Huang Zhong lead 20,000 troops to attack Wudu County, the lord was worried that General Huang Zhong was a little weak, so he ordered me to go with General Huang Zhong to capture Wudu County. ”
"De'ang, do you know what is written in Mr. Zhuge 's letter, and why did the lord suddenly change his order after seeing it?"
"Don't hide it from the military advisor, no one said what was written in the letter, and we don't know."
"Oh. I wonder why Deang is here? ”
"Strategist, when I came, the lord called me over alone and gave me a letter for me to pass on to Strategist." After Li Hui finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms. After Shi Yuan took it, he looked at the envelope of the letter and made sure that it had not been opened, so he immediately opened the letter and read it carefully.
After a while, Shi Yuan read the letter, and then put it away. After bowing his head and pondering for a while, he thought about Li Hui and said:
"De'ang, I don't know what you think about attacking Wudu County?"
Li Hui saw that the military advisor did not say the content of the letter, and he also understood, it seems that the content of the letter is very confidential, since the military advisor has no intention of saying, Li Hui did not ask for any news about this letter. Hearing the military advisor ask about the strategy of attacking Wudu County, Li Hui immediately replied to the military advisor, it seems that he has already thought about it in his heart.
"Military Division, how to attack Wudu County on the way, I will discuss it with General Huang Zhong. When Cao Cao led an army of 100,000 to attack Hanzhong from Wudu County, he eliminated the local forces against Cao Cao, and looted a large amount of grain and grass in Wudu County. However, I think that when the military advisor wrote a letter to the lord to focus on Wudu County, it was not just a simple capture of Wudu County, but also from the number of soldiers sent by the lord. Wudu County, the land of Longxi, the lower Yangping Pass of Hanzhong, can be attacked, retreated can be defended, and our army is now in Hanzhong and Cao Wei at war, although our army has now won a battle, but the land of Hanzhong is still in the hands of Cao Cao, Cao Cao knows the news of Hanzhong's defeat, he will definitely send troops to support Hanzhong, and now the closest to Hanzhong is Chang'an, Longxi. After our army took Wudu County, we could prevent the Wei army in the land of Longxi from supporting Hanzhong, so that if the Cao army wanted to support Hanzhong again, it could only take the three wooden plank roads with rugged mountain roads. Therefore, the focus of Wudu County is not to attack, but to defend, and holding Wudu County will ensure the tranquility of the northwest direction in the decisive battle between our army and Cao's army in Hanzhong in the future. ”
Listening to General Li Hui's eloquent words, Shi Yuan also kept nodding, too, what General Li Hui said was actually what Shi Yuan was thinking, it seems that Li Hui is indeed very witty. After Li Hui finished speaking, Shi Yuan said with a smile:
"What Deon thinks is exactly what I think, but Deon only sees one side, not the other. The defense of Wudu County can provide protection and support for the decisive battle of Hanzhong in the short term, and in the long run, it will provide a convenient way for our army to attack the land of Longxi. After our army takes Hanzhong, if you want to go out of Hanzhong and enter the Central Plains, Wudu County is one of the roads, and it is not only the present that is beneficial to take Wudu County, but also the future. Therefore, De'ang, you must explain clearly to General Huang Zhong, you must arrange the main force to guard Wudu County, and after you and General Huang Lao have rectified Wudu County, send a force to station in Xiabi to make a situation of attacking Yangping Pass. ”
After listening to the words of the military advisor, Li Hui unconsciously showed a sense of admiration on his face, and said heartily:
"The military division is far-sighted, De'ang admires it in his heart, there are military divisions, why worry about our army not unifying the world."
When Shi Yuan discussed with Li Hui some specific matters concerning the attack on Wudu County, after the negotiation, Li Hui took his leave and went to chase General Huang Zhong. After Li Hui left, Shi Yuan sat alone in the courtyard, thinking about the content of the lord's letter, which mentioned that Mr. Zhuge sat in Chengdu and found that some local heroes in Yizhou did not obey Liu Bei's rule, and after Liu Bei left Yizhou, he was bewitched by some people to prepare for rebellion. No wonder the main guild suddenly changed its order, Shi Yuan thought.
As a crossover from the later generations, Shi Yuan knew very well in his heart at this time, in history, the local Haoqiang in Yizhou has been making some small moves openly and secretly since Liu Bei entered Yizhou, until the end of the Shu Han regime, the local Haoqiang has also made a lot of efforts! Thinking of this, Shi Yuan felt some headaches, and he was good at fighting and strategizing, but Shi Yuan felt very powerless to solve the contradictions between the various groups under Liu Bei's account, even if Shi Yuan knew that this problem was a big problem that had to be solved. However, there is one thing that Shi Yuan is very relieved of, that is, as long as Liu Bei is there, there will be some convergence between the various groups, although there will be some small actions, but they will not have a decisive impact. As for Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou, although there are also indispensable reasons for the struggle between various groups, Shi Yuan is sure that he can avoid this matter, and there is no reason, just because Shi Yuan at this time has crossed over from the later generations and knows some things that happened in history in the following years. But if you think about it carefully, Shi Yuan's biggest advantage over others at this time is the prophet, and there are many people who are more powerful than Shi Yuan in terms of other strategies and tactics.
Shi Yuan tapped his head and decided not to think about those questions for the time being. The most important thing now is to figure out how to take Hanzhong! Since the defeat of Xiahou Yuan and his retreat to Hanzhong, he has never sent any troops out, and all the troops are now staying in Hanzhong City, and Shi Yuan also feels a little at a loss for what to do. It is definitely not possible to storm Hanzhong, because there are still nearly 50,000 troops in Hanzhong City, and there are less than 40,000 troops available to him now, and a strong attack can only kill himself. Outwitted, the enemy can't come out, and you can't outwit if you want to, hey, it's really sad!
Two days later, Shi Yuan received a piece of information that annoyed him. According to the scouts, the Wei army's rescue of Hanzhong troops had already passed through Chang'an, and they were about to arrive in Hanzhong in the near future, and the leading people included Cao Hong, the general Cao Zhen, the commander of the cavalry, Cao Xiu, the commander of the Yongzhou, and Zhang Ji, the assassin of Yongzhou, with as many as 50,000 soldiers. Just wiped out 50,000 enemy troops, and here are another 50,000 people, and there are so many famous generals, anyone will be very annoyed.
It seems that Cao Cao should have returned to Luoyang, and immediately sent reinforcements to support Hanzhong, if it weren't for the reinforcements, it would not have been possible to arrive so quickly, Shi Yuan thought of this, and also had some admiration for Cao Cao in his heart, it seems that Cao Cao did have a set of wars. But that's not bad, play against the strong and win, so that you can prove yourself more.
Shi Yuan ordered the scouts to convey this news to Huang Zhong, Li Hui and others who attacked Wudu County, and issued a death order to them, that is, before the enemy's reinforcements arrived in Hanzhong, they must take Wudu and seize Xiajiao.
