Chapter 34: The Old Guy

The night breeze is chilling and soaking people's hearts.

Guan Yi stood quietly on the wall with his hands behind his back, raising his eyes and looking into the distance, the mountains were hazy, deep and vast, like a boundless net, making people unable to see the end at a glance.

An army of 100,000 troops, with no reinforcements outside, no overnight food inside, the army's heart is scattered, and it is embattled, how can it be undefeated? Hugh said that Deng Ai, Zhong Hui and others were reborn Ziya, and Zhang Liang was categorically helpless when he was reborn. History will not tell lies, from the moment Guan Yi decided to walk out of the deep mountains of Zitong County, the Wei army will undoubtedly be defeated in three ways, and he will step on the shoulders of Deng Ai, Zhong Hui and other famous generals in the world, and become a unique figure at the moment.

However, the fear and anxiety in his heart increased day by day, and he was overwhelmed.

In the battle of Jiangyoushu, the reason why Guan Yi was able to anticipate the enemy first and suppress Deng Ai everywhere was that the memory of his previous life helped a lot. When the Wei army attacked Shu on the third road, Yan Yu sat in the eastern line to connect Dongwu with Dongwu as foreign aid, and the northern line had the great general Jiang Wei to stick to the Sword Pavilion, and Zhong Hui could not surpass the danger even if he had the ability to reach the sky, as for the rear of the Han Dynasty, in addition to Guan Suo and Guan Yinping's brothers and sisters who came to Qinwang, Jianning Taishou Huo Ge was also ready to rescue Chengdu at any time.

Therefore, as far as the situation at that time is concerned, the success or failure of the Han and Wei armies depends entirely on whether Guan Yi can hold the Jiangyou garrison. Facts have proved that Guan Yi did it, and the course of history was rewritten from that moment on, and the subsequent rout of the Wei army on all fronts was naturally expected.

Although he was able to use history to anticipate the enemy and change the original course of history at this time, the memory of his previous life came to an abrupt end, and he was in chaos, and he could no longer remember the slightest memory of his previous life. In the future career of Rong Ma, there is no history that can be used for reference, how should it be written?

At this moment, Guan Yi felt tremendous pressure and uneasiness. After all, the real history is that Deng Aiqi attacked Jiangyoushu successfully, and after the defeat of Zhuge Zhan in Mianzhu, his troops came to Chengdu and forced Liu Chan to land. This section is familiar to everyone who pays attention to the Three Kingdoms, and Guan Yi is no exception. However, now because of his inexplicable arrival to change the course of history, is this a curse or a blessing?

Guan Yi's panic lies precisely in this. In the memory of his previous life, his understanding of the last days of the Three Kingdoms was only preserved in the events of about half a year after Deng Ai's destruction of Shu. According to historical records, after the heir Liu Chan surrendered, Deng Ai, Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei were killed in the Chengdu Rebellion, and the former Han Liu clan and civil and military officials were relocated to Luoyang.

Since then, the establishment of the Three Kingdoms has become a cloud of the past, the unification of the Han Dynasty has come to an abrupt end, and the memory of Guan Yi's previous life has also come to an end. In other words, Guan Yi is now facing a completely different track from the original course of history, and this is not something he can foresee and rely on, and the helplessness is like a vast night with no end in sight.

Guan Yi knew that with the retreat of the Wei army on all fronts, he would also become famous and enter a new period in his career. However, he knows better that in the course of the future, whether it is officialdom, battlefield, or alliance between friend and foe, he will inevitably encounter more crises and dangers that he has not experienced before.

In addition, there are talents in the country, and in the future life, how many heroes and heroes will be fortunate to see?

There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and the suffocating sense of oppression made Guan Yi know that it was Ehu without looking back.

"Young master, it's heavy late at night, rest early!"

Hu put a brocade robe on Guan Yi's shoulders, for this young master who is only the same age as himself, Hu is grateful and respectful from the heart, if Guan Yi hadn't pleaded in front of the heir, he would have been beheaded and beheaded, how can there be today's glory and glory?

Although he came from the southwest barbarians, but also quite aware of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, his father E Huan was captured by Zhuge Wuhou but not killed, and then he was willing to serve the Han court throughout his life, and fought in the east and west, with great achievements until death. What's more, the Nanzhong barbarians have always revered warriors, and once they recognize their masters, they will live and die with each other, and there is no reason to change them.

Guan Yi tightened his brocade robe and said lightly: "The defense handover is complete?" ”

E Hu nodded and said, "Zhengxian has already completed the handover with Vice General Liu, and he can leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Guan Yi smiled, deeply satisfied. It turned out that after Liao Hua and him finished the race three days ago, he received a fast horse summons from Jiang Wei again, ordering Liao Hua and him to hand over the defense of Qipanguan to the deputy general Liu Zhang, and go north to Hanzhong to make peace.

Early the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, they immediately said goodbye to Liu Zhang, left Qipanguan and headed for Hanzhong. Because the overall situation has been decided, everyone is relaxed, and they just talk about some anecdotes along the way to reduce the fatigue of the journey.

Three days later, the army had crossed the Fushui and beyond was the Hanzhong Plain. In the middle of this day, the sound of horses' hooves behind him suddenly became louder, and a blood guard scout Pegasus came to Guan Yi to hold the reins, and then turned over and dismounted and knelt on one knee.

"Report ...... General Qiyu, Wei generals Deng Ai and Zhan Qinggang learned that Zhonghui was defeated and retreated, and they had already evacuated Baishui Pass at night, and retreated to Longxi along the Yinping Bridgehead over Konghan Valley. ”

Guan Yi was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Where are Li Qiu and Huang Chonger?" ”

The blood guard said: "When Deng Ai retreated, he was standing on the straw man, so the two generals Li and Huang only found out the truth a few days ago, and when the villain came, the two generals had already done their best to cover up the Wei army and left. ”

Guan Yi waved his hand to let the blood guard retreat, and frowned: "For the general, the enemy should clearly distinguish the enemy's situation, so that he can not be defeated in a hundred battles, how can the enemy retreat for a few days without knowing it?" Moreover, since the enemy army has retreated for a few days, it is useless to chase them, and if the second general rashly enters the army, he is afraid that he will mistakenly fall into Deng Ai's treacherous scheme! ”

Thinking in his heart, he immediately called the wind of the past and instructed him to send more scouts to investigate the movements of Wei Jun, Li Qiu, and Huang Chong, and report back as soon as there was news.

Liao Hua shook his head with a deep groan, and said, "In the old man's opinion, I am afraid that there is another hidden secret. ”

"What does the old general think?" Guan Yi knows that Liao Huarong has been a horse all his life, and marching and fighting is commonplace, and he has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty for decades. When he said this, he naturally had a point.

Liao Hua said: "After the rout of Zhonghui, Deng Ai was isolated, and he must be worried that the general would capture Wudu and cut off his way back, so it was expected that he would retreat, but this person had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he was scheming, and the two generals Li and Huang were by no means his opponents, so I expected that the two generals were not ignorant of Deng Ai's retreat, but they were self-aware, afraid that Deng Ai would be deceitful, and did not dare to send troops to pursue, but they were worried that they would be in the name of cowardice, so they waited for the Wei army to retreat and pretended to chase after them. ”

Guan Yi nodded and said: "It's no wonder that the two of them are in this matter, when Deng Ai was defeated and retreated from Baishui Pass, his nephew strictly ordered the two of them to only need to guard Muyuzui, and not easily send troops to fight Deng Ai!" ”

Liao Hua smiled: "This time and that time! The virtuous nephew Shicai also said that for the sake of the general, he should clearly distinguish the enemy's situation, and make a decision at the right time, and must not stick to the convention, otherwise how can he use troops? A month ago, although Deng Ai was defeated and retreated, he was still in a strategic situation with Zhong Hui in the same position as our army. Now, Zhonghui's army has fled on all fronts, and if Deng Ai does not retreat, he will inevitably fall into the encirclement of our army, and he will die without a place to be buried! ”

Guan Yi nodded, what Liao Hua said was reasonable, Deng Ai was both wise and brave, and his prestige was well-known, except for a few people in the Han army, such as Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi, Liu Yin, etc., the rest were not his opponents, but they were afraid that Li Qiu and Huang Chong were indeed as Liao Hua expected, but they were cowardly and avoided the battle. If this is the case, it can be seen that these two people are not the ones who have achieved great things.

However, Liao Hua's insights brought Guan Yi's understanding of him to a higher level. Later generations of folk proverbs: There is no general in Shu, and Liao Hua is a pioneer. In the eyes of many people, this is to say that the talents in the late Han Dynasty withered, and there was no general in the army to lead the army, so Liao Hua had to be the vanguard and lead the troops to fight.

However, Guan Yi knew in his heart that although Liao Hua was not the top handsome talent in the Three Kingdoms period, he was definitely a generation of famous generals who were loyal and diligent in both civil and military affairs.

Liao Hua, the word Yuan Jian, Xiangyang people, at the beginning of the former general Guan Yu master Bo, Guan Yu after the defeat of the Eastern Wu, after the death of the deception to deceive the Wu people to believe, and then with the old mother after thousands of miles of suffering absconded back to Shu, Emperor Zhaolie praised his loyalty, named Yidu Taishou, and then followed Zhuge Wuhou and Jiang Wei Northern Expedition repeatedly, loyal and hard-working.

As we all know, in the official system of all dynasties, the chief officer was a civil official, and he was an adjutant in charge of documents under the chief officials at all levels, and he also had the authority of a counselor and a consul general in different periods. During the Three Kingdoms period, Chen Lin, a well-known talent, served as the chief of the general He Jin, Yang Xiu and Sima Yi were also the chief of Cao Cao, Huang Quan, who was ranked first among the talented people in Shu, also served as Liu Zhang's main commander, and even the peerless general Lu Bu also served as the chief of the Bingzhou assassin Shi Ding Yuan. It can be seen that Liao Hua is a person of great wisdom and ability.

In addition, Emperor Zhaolie was defeated and died of illness in Yong'an, and the heir Liu Chan ascended the throne, and Liao Hua first moved to the Prime Minister's Mansion to join the army and counsellor the military aircraft. Subsequently, he moved Guangwu Governor and Yinping Taishou and stationed on the border of Han and Wei to guard against the Wei army. If Liao Hua does not have the ability to lead the army, and Zhuge Wuhou Yan can use it to join the army, how can Liao Hua be able to garrison the border and take charge alone?

In the first year of Yanxi of the Han Dynasty (238 AD), Liao Hua was ordered to attack Cao Wei Shoushan Qiang Marquis's Tang Fu, Wei Yongzhou Assassin Guo Huai sent Nan'an Taishou Youyi, Guangwei Taishou Wang Yun sent troops to rescue, intending to encircle and annihilate the Han army, but unexpectedly Liao Hua successively broke it, Nan'an Taishou Youyi only took dozens of people to flee for his life, and Wang Yun was killed by Liao Hua with an arrow and died on the battlefield.

In the fourth year of Jingyao of the Han Dynasty (262 AD), Jiang Wei led the people to come back to Di Dao, and Liao Hua was worried. Wisdom is not the enemy, but the strength is less than Kou, and the use is insatiable, how can it stand? The poem "not self first, not self later", today's things are also.

The implication of Liao Hua's words is that Jiang Wei himself once said that if you don't know how to use soldiers, you will definitely end up with self-defeat. The current situation of the Han is that the intelligence is not stronger than the enemy, and the strength is small, but it frequently uses troops all year round, how can it last long if this continues? Why is this situation not in front of me or behind me, but it has happened to me in this era?

Unexpectedly, as soon as this word came out, it was secretly reported to Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei was furious when he heard about it, so he left Liao Hua to garrison Hanzhong, since he and Zhang Yi and other generals raised troops to attack Wei, but it was not as Liao Hua said, a few months later, Jiang Wei was defeated by Deng Ai in Hou He, and had to retreat to the army. This is said to be prescient and prescient!

In fact, in the Han army, Liao Hua has always been brave and resolute, long in the army, broad-minded, able to judge major events, is a military general in the late Han Dynasty, the official to the right car riding general, leading the state assassin history, and sealing the township marquis.

Praise of the times: There is Wang Ju in the front, and Zhang Liao in the back. The so-called Wang sentence refers to Wang Ping and Jufu, and as for Zhang Liao, it naturally refers to Zhang Yi and Liaohua. Wang Ping and Zhang Yi are well known to the world, Ju Fu is also a generation of famous generals, the official to the left general, the marquis of the Fengtangqu, the history records his loyalty, courage and generosity, several military exploits, the name is often inferior to Wang Ping, but it is a pity that the deeds of this person are rarely recorded in the history books, and Chen Zhi is the same as the hero who was deliberately submerged. It can be seen that in the eyes of the Shu people, Liao Hua is indeed a general who is both civil and military.

If Guan Yi hadn't experienced this era, he probably would have the same opinion on Liao Hua. Now it seems that the world regards Liao Hua as a "mediocre person", which is actually a great wrong. If according to the real level of Liao Hua in history, there is no general in Shu, the true original meaning of Liao Hua as a pioneer should be: talents in Shu are withering, and heroes in the twilight take the lead.
