Chapter 23: Surprise Attack on the Seven Pans Pass (2)

(I'm taking a make-up driver's license, and I'm going to take the third section tomorrow, and the expected chapters can't be uploaded on time, so I'll upload tomorrow's one in advance)

Guan Yi smiled quietly: "Late at night, the little general has not forgotten to work so hard, which can be called a model for my generation." According to Guan, the little general will become a pillar of the country in the future! ”

Zhuge Shang said lightly: "The general praised it falsely!" However, he is a talented general and a civil and military officer, and he is really a genius in the world, and the last general is fortunate to be deeply instructed, and he does not dare to forget it for a moment. ”

Although Guan Yi couldn't see the change in the expression on Zhuge Shang's face, he confirmed his judgment from his tone, and sure enough, he was concerned about what he said just now, and there was still anger in his tone. It's just that Zhuge is still young and inexperienced, so he can't hide his thoughts in his heart, but it's good, since he knows why he has a problem, it's much easier to remove this knot.

"Hey, the little general has something to say! I don't know where Guan offended the little general? ”

As soon as Guan Yi's words came out, Zhuge Shang's expression changed drastically, he didn't expect Guan Yi to be so direct, listening to Guan Yi's meaning, he seemed to have known the dissatisfaction in his heart, which made him a little unsure how to deal with it.

After being silent for a long time, Zhuge Shang said: "Why did the general say this? ”

Guan Yi was amused in his heart, Zhuge Shang is not familiar with human feelings, and he has never experienced any winds and waves, if he doesn't say this, saying it is tantamount to covering his ears and stealing the bell, admitting his thoughts. After thinking about it, he said lightly: "The husband and gentleman's trip is to cultivate oneself quietly and cultivate virtue through frugality." If you are not indifferent, you will not be ambitious, and if you are not quiet, you will not be far-reaching......"

"This, this is the admonition left by the grandfather of the last general before his death, how did the general know?"

Zhuge Shang's face changed several times, and what Guan Yi said was the first few sentences of the last letter written to his father Zhuge Zhan in the Wuzhangyuan military camp when his grandfather Zhuge Wuhou was critically ill. For decades, Zhuge Zhan has followed the admonitions in the book to be a man and a scholar, and taught Zhuge Shang and other brothers in this way, rarely mentioning it to outsiders, how did Guan Yi know the content of the book?

Zhuge Shang is right, Guan Yi Shicai recited the classic "Book of Commandments", which was regarded as self-cultivation and inspiration by later generations. It's just that the prototype of the "Book of Commandments" is a family letter written by Zhuge Wuhou to Zhuge Zhan, who was only eight years old at the time, during the last Northern Expedition when he was fifty-four years old.

To tell the truth, although Guan Yi had studied this masterpiece when he was a child, he had already forgotten it after many years, and he only remembered the first few sentences of the book. It's just that Zhuge still knows about these accidents. According to Guan Yi's thoughts, as long as he recites the first few sentences, he will definitely surprise Zhuge Shang, but he doesn't know that he is just bluffing Zhuge Shang.

Guan Yi smiled faintly and said casually: "This book was written by the grandfather of the little general, Zhuge Wuhou, when he was dying, although General Wei did not mention it to outsiders, but the people of Shuzhong have already been widely recited, how can it be that Guan Yi does not know?" Don't dare to hide it from the little general, Guan Yi reveres Ling Zu very much, and regards the admonition left by Wuxiang Hou to General Wei as the foundation of self-cultivation, and every time I read it, I benefit a lot! ”

Zhuge Shang was dumbfounded when he heard this, although he knew that his grandfather Zhuge Wuhou was very kind to the military and civilians in Shuzhong, and his father Zhuge Zhan also benefited a lot, but now nearly thirty years have passed since his grandfather's death, and most of the grandchildren and descendants of the elders who assisted Emperor Zhaolie have never seen Zhuge Wuhou, including his own father, who was only an eight-year-old child back then, which made him never expect Guan Yi to respect a person he had met so much.

Zhuge Shang had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was deeply proud of being a descendant of Zhuge Shang, and muttered: "The trip of a husband and a gentleman, quiet to self-cultivation, thrift to cultivate virtue." There is no ambition without indifference, and there is no far-reaching ambition without tranquility. The husband must be quiet to learn, and he must also learn. There is no way to learn without learning, and there is no way to learn without ambition. ** It can't be excited, and it's not curable. The year and the time are gone, the intention is gone, and then it becomes withered, and it is not connected to the world, and it is sad to keep the poor, what will happen to ......"

This family letter is regarded as a family heirloom by Zhuge Zhan, Zhuge Shang has been taught with two brothers since he was a child, and he is naturally familiar with it, and his back is like a pattern in his palm. After reciting it twice in a row, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: where is this Guan Yi reciting his grandfather's admonitions, he is clearly reminding himself that he should always maintain a quiet nature for the general, be cautious in words and deeds, and not be impatient in everything.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhuge Shang suddenly felt red-faced, remembering his arrogance and impetuousness before, and cold sweat fell down his back. His previous words and deeds were completely contrary to his grandfather's requirements and admonitions, where is the bearing and demeanor that the descendants of the Zhuge family should have? If Guan Yi hadn't used this admonition to warn himself, wouldn't it have been in vain for his grandfather and father to teach him painstakingly.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhuge Shang was extremely remorseful, threw away the rotten silver spear and hugged his fists, and gave Guan Yi a deep salute, and said in a deep voice: "The last general is ashamed, at this time, the general knows that he has worked hard. I hope that the general will ignore his past suspicions and take care of it! ”

Guan Yi laughed, hurriedly supported Zhuge Shang, and said: "The little general doesn't need to be polite, you and I are the same age, and we generally contribute to the country, why do you need to be like this?" ”

"The general is lenient and elegant, and the last general is deeply impressed!"

Guan Yi nodded secretly. is the so-called son can be taught, since Zhuge Shang said so, he must have understood his own thoughts, and listening to the meaning of his words should not be perfunctory. I am also happy to accept it when I see it, otherwise it will be a little not generous enough. Zhuge Shang was originally talented and outstanding, and he was a teenager, so it was inevitable that he would be a little arrogant, which was a common problem of young people, and it could not be changed overnight.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, the brigade set off on time as ordered. Guan Yi made a slight adjustment this time, and the two Fu Yan's personal guards were pretended to be the mountain people who were collecting firewood first, and once the enemy situation was discovered, he immediately warned him, and then ordered Zhuge Shang to lead a hundred blood guards to accompany him, and he and Fu Yi led the Chinese army, and Chen Lie led the remaining blood guards to take charge of the palace.

As soon as the army left the Yinping Pass, Chen Lie, who was on the mission of the palace, sent someone to report that a large number of Wei troops had been found at the Yinping Pass, and the direction of the march was the location of the Blood Guard Battalion.

Although the Wei army's actions were expected by Guan Yi, he was still secretly surprised that the Wei army not only came, but also came so quickly. Judging from the direction of the Wei army's march, it seems that it also grasped the movement of the blood guard. If these are all Du Pre's arrangements, then this person is really very wise, otherwise, with the geographical location of Yang'an Pass surrounded by mountains and rivers, how can the Wei army know that the blood guard is hiding in Yinping Mountain?

Could it be that the blood guard responsible for the palace was careless, and the traces after the retreat were not cleaned up thoroughly enough, so that the Wei army found any clues? Or did Wei Jun not know the exact location of the Blood Guard at all, and just hit it by mistake?

Of course, at the moment, the blood guard has withdrawn from Yinping Mountain. Guan Yi believed that the Wei army could never have imagined that the Han army that attacked Yang'an Pass would dare to fight the idea of the Golden Bull Road after burning the Wei army's grain and grass.

It's just that Guan Yi didn't guess right this time. The Blood Guard's fire last night burned to the ground, and the Wei army's 5,000 men and horses tried their best to no avail, until the fire devoured all the things that could be burned in the warehouses and barracks.

Under the fury of Zhan Qinggang, despite Du Pre's obstruction, he sent 3,000 men and horses early in the morning, and ordered to block all the mountain passes within a radius of 50 miles from Yang'an Pass to conduct a dragnet search, vowing to find out the sneak attack of the Han army and break the corpses into thousands of pieces, in order to vent his hatred, so although the Wei army pointed to Yinping Mountain, it was not the trace of the blood guard.

Du Pre's position is the head of the Zhenxi General's Mansion, although he is a military counselor, but he is not the top boss of Qinggang, and he does not have the right to directly transfer troops, this time he came to Yang'anguan to urge the grain and grass to the front of the Jiange army, but he did not expect that he would be attacked by the Han army that night.

According to Du Xuan's judgment, although the Han army is only a small force of several hundred people, since it dares to enter the Yang'an Pass heavily defended by the Wei army, it must be fully prepared, presumably the Han army has already withdrawn from the control area of Yang'an Pass after the successful sneak attack, so he thinks that it must be in vain for Zhan Qinggang to send troops to search, but fortunately, although Zhan Qinggang transferred most of the soldiers and horses, there are still 2,000 soldiers and horses left in the pass, which is enough to ensure foolproof for the Yang'an Pass with steep terrain.

Du Yu knew in his heart that the grain and grass of the three armies were the key to lifeblood, and now they were burned clean by the Han army, and no one could swallow this bad breath. More importantly, Zhenxi General Zhong Hui has always been strict in governing the army, and when he attacked Nanzheng before, he beheaded Xu Yi, the son of the founding general Xu Chu, in the name of being trapped by the horse's hooves in the earthen pit.

Although Du Pre was quite understanding of Zhan Qinggang's helpless move, he did not dare to hide the burning of grain and grass from Zhonghui, so he sent someone Pegasus to inform Zhonghui as soon as it was dawn, and at the same time, in order to be precautionary, Du Pre also suggested that Zhan Qinggang send people to Hanzhong to ask for help from the Wei army that was besieging Hancheng and Lecheng, and let Xun Kai send troops to help defend Yang'an Pass.
