121 Heated controversy
There was a loud "pop", and all the generals in Dazhai looked at He Chen with an angry face, and they were all frightened. No one thought that the army, which had always been overwhelming and invincible, would eat turtles one after another in the hands of a little Liu Bei, at least losing nearly 10,000 elite cavalry, which made He Chen not angry.
"This general has repeatedly emphasized that you must not be greedy for merit, and you must not be greedy for merit. Yang Qiu's lessons from the past and the teacher of the future. But you, but you took the words of General Ben as the wind in your ears, and suffered so badly. Even if this general wants to spare you, the soul of the soldier who succumbed to death, the decree in the army will not spare you. Come on, push Cheng Yin out and behead him to set an example. β
"General, my subordinates know that they are wrong, and the general spares his life." The four burly guards escorted Cheng Yin menacingly, let him scream and beg for mercy, and still dragged him down unceremoniously. Even this time, Ma Teng and Ma Chao closed their mouths and did not plead.
He Chen's anger did not subside, and his tiger eyes flashed and his voice said sternly: "If there is anyone who does not respect the order, don't blame this for being ruthless under the sword." β
The big tent was silent, and no one dared to make a sound.
Halfway through, Guo Jiacai coughed lightly, and then under He Chen's gaze, he slowly stepped out and said, "My lord, please calm your anger." The so-called soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. Now that the matter has already happened, it is useless to pursue responsibility. It is imperative to work out how to eliminate Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others as soon as possible, so that our army can return to the dynasty as soon as possible. β
"What the military advisor said is extremely true." In order to ease the atmosphere, most of the people in the hall echoed it.
"Xiangxiang is mountainous, the Wugong Mountains are meandering, the mother-in-law rock towers in the south, the Pingshui River and the Caoshui River and its tributaries crisscross the territory, flow west and Changsha Liling, and Chang, Zhu, Tan adjacent, and the south is connected to Youxian, the geographical location is not only extending in all directions, and the situation is extremely complicated, if our army is careless, it is not good to really beat the chicken and fly, let Liu Bei and his tens of thousands of troops go west out of Wuxi, Bafan or south to Jiaozhou, the South China Sea, at that time it will be like a dragon returning to the sea, the tiger into the mountains and forests. However, our army has become a tired division after continuous long journeys, and the supply of grain and grass has become a problem. If Liu Bei can't be eliminated in the Xiangdong area, it will be a big trouble. Speaking of the back, He Chen said expressionlessly.
In this era, now He Chen is not afraid that you will charge and fight face-to-face, even if you have ten times the number of troops, you can still rely on your military skills and military strategies to beat them all over the ground. I'm afraid that like Liu Bei, I don't fight you head-on, but there are masters behind my back who keep conspiring and making small moves, which makes you annoyed but helpless.
Not to mention He Chen, even Guo Jia and Jia Xu felt that this matter was a little tricky. This Zhuge Liang is really cautious and cunning, doing things without leakage, and he just covers up the whereabouts of tens of thousands of soldiers, even if he leaves clues, it may be a trap and inducement, and the final result is to disrupt your judgment, and when you think it is safe, you will be hit hard by surprise, and then walk away, Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin are like this.
Guo Jia lowered his head and paced back and forth in the middle of the village; Jia Xu's eyes were slightly narrowed, and occasionally a flash of light disappeared; Xun You kept gently brushing his beautiful beard, and his expression was a little dignified; Xun Yu simply closed his eyes there to recuperate.
He Chen saw that the four strategists lost their voices at the same time, and he couldn't help but have one head bigger than two, and his heart was like numbness.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran over outside the door and sang loudly: "Report to the general, General Zhao sent someone to send important military news." β
"Oh? Zhao Yun? Didn't you just take Lingling and Guiyang a few days ago? What major military information can there be? Could it be ......" He Chen suddenly had a possible surname in his mind, and he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly said, "Let him come in." β
When he was young, a dusty soldier came in and bowed, and then said loudly: "General, the former general Zhao Yunshu said that when he was deploying in Lingling before, he suddenly found that many people of the Su tribe gathered to raise troops to make trouble, and then led troops to suppress it, but accidentally caught Wang Wei, the former general of Liu Biao, and after being tortured, he got a major shocking news that Liu Beijun had crossed the Xiangshui River to move to Hengyang, and was ready to go south to take refuge in Cangwu Taishou Wu Ju. General Zhao has urgently mobilized his soldiers, set up a defensive line, and prepared to encircle. β
"What? Liu Beijun has already left Xiangxiang and arrived in Hengyang? How can it be? Not only did He Chen not believe it, but even Guo Jia and Jia Xu, the four advisors, rushed to the map at the same time, opened it and examined it carefully, obviously not expecting Liu Beijun to fly out of his encirclement at once as if he had grown wings.
"In this way, the traces of Liu Bei's army in Xiangxiang are another bait? Then how did they eliminate Yang Qiu and Cheng Yin's troops? He Chen could barely comprehend.
Xun Yu finally opened his eyes, stepped forward in two steps, and looked at the letter carefully, asking everything clearly, and the letter was answered like a stream, and there was no flaw at all. Xun Yu nodded at He Chen at this time, signaling that the soldiers could go down.
After the soldiers retreated, He Chen hurriedly asked, "How?" β
Xun Yu replied seriously: "This person's answer is flawless. β
"So, could it be true?" He Chen said in distress.
"If this is true, then the only explanation is that this piece of people in Xiangxiang is Liu Bei's broken army, and the main army has already moved south in a shortcut trail that we don't know. It's just that the combat effectiveness of the troops after this break is also too terrible. Xun You also began to analyze.
"No, on the contrary, the news that this person said is most likely false." Who knew that at this time, Xun Yu suddenly said amazingly.
"Oh? Why does Wen Ruo say this? At this time, not only He Chen was interested, but even Guo Jia and others listened attentively.
You must know that Xun Yu was praised by Cao Ying as "my son's room", and was called "Wang Zuozhicai" by the world since he was a child. As the chief strategist and hero of Cao Ying's unification of the north, Xun Yu strategically formulated and planned the blueprint and military route for Cao Ying to unify the north, and was praised for revising Cao Ying's strategic policy many times; In terms of tactics, he faced the rebellion of LΓΌ Bu and protected the three cities of Yanzhou; In terms of politics, Cao Ying recommended a large number of talents such as Zhong Xuan, Xun You, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, and Guo Jia. Xun Yu has made many achievements in planning, plotting, and raising people, which shows that he is a person who is extremely subtle and serious.
Xun Yu said confidently and calmly: "It is this person who answers fluently and without any flaws, which makes his subordinates wonder if Liu Bei sent someone to falsely report the military situation to confuse our army." First of all, if important military information is passed on by word of mouth, it must be sent to a confidant general, but in fact, when the subordinates just observed, everyone, including the general, was extremely unfamiliar with this believer, and was not familiar with it at all; If this is the case, the subordinates are just suspicious, but this person's speaking habits confirm this speculation. β
"What habits?" He Chen then asked.
"The accent may be imitated, but the habit cannot be changed. For example, what he just said "do nothing" is a customary term in Jingzhou, although the other party only used it once, but his subordinates felt that the other party was deliberately controlling. If this assumption is true, then the next question is why should he control his language? And there is another problem, the army led by Zilong is all the Northern Army, even if there are Jingzhou troops or the latest talents who have taken refuge, with Zilong's cautious and conscientious surname, it is impossible to send such a person to deliver a letter. Therefore, the subordinates concluded that this person must have been deceitful. β
"Wonderful, wonderful, Wen Ruo pulled out the cocoon, the analysis was meticulous, if it weren't for your careful observation and interrogation, I would have almost been deceived." Guo Jia couldn't help but high-five and admired.
"This ......" He Chen's head couldn't turn all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Xun Yu, you mean to say that this person is spreading false information to disrupt our army's thinking." The dog said, come on, put the messenger in prison just now, and torture him to extract a confession. General Ben wants him to be unable to survive, unable to die. β
"Slow, the lord is not in a hurry." At this time, Guo Jia suddenly stopped him.
He Chen was a little puzzled and asked, "Oh? Why? β
"Since this person dares to come, he will definitely have the will to die, even if the law is severe, it is estimated that he will not be able to dig up anything, but he may be trapped again. From the perspective of his subordinates, Liu Bei sent people to send false information, which itself has content that can be mined. β
"Do you mean to say that the princes Liang sent people to pretend to go south to Guiyang and prepare to take refuge in Cangwu Taishou Wu Ju, but in fact it is very likely to march to the west and enter the Baiyue and Lingnan areas?" He Chen finally came to his senses and said.
"It's probably the case." Guo Jia replied in a deep voice.
"My subordinates have different opinions on this matter." At this time, Jia Xu finally spoke.
"What's the opinion?" He Chen saw that the distinction was becoming more and more intense, and he couldn't help crying and laughing.
Jia Xu obviously also showed calm and unhurried after careful consideration, deliberately cleared his throat, and then said slowly: "From the perspective of his subordinates, Liu Bei is very likely to really go south to Jiaozhou." There are three reasons: first, Liu Bei and Cangwu are too old-fashioned, and they have a good relationship in private, if he goes south, he will inevitably be received. Second: Baiyue and Lingnan are mostly aliens, since the Warring States Qin unified Guilin, Nanhai and Xiangjun, there will be riots and rebellions every once in a while, these aliens have great hatred for the Central Plains, and Liu Bei entered Baiyue at this time, didn't he make trouble for himself? Third: With the cautious style of the princes, it is impossible to leave such a big flaw in the back door, and the only possible surname is to do the opposite, let us encircle the westward Baiyue route with heavy troops, but he swaggered south to Cangwu as the messenger said. β
What Wen He said was reasonable, but Xia Guan thought that one thing was very important. That is, how to solve the problem of Liu Bei's supply of grain and grass? If they had been moving together with an auxiliary vehicle, they would have been surrounded by our army at the speed of a turtle. The only possible surname is to travel lightly, but this question comes back, where does their food and grass come from? As long as we figure out this problem, it is estimated that we will not be far from catching Liu Bei and them. β
"Gongda means that Liu Bei is very likely to go west to Baiyue to feed the war with war?"
