"This first problem, I want to ask Wen Chang, is Cao Ying a stupid pig?"

Fang Shao came to such a ridiculous question inexplicably, Wei Yan was stunned, and was stunned for a while before he reacted, and said with a smile: "Zhongzheng, you drank too much, what kind of problem is this." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Fang Shao's expression immediately became serious, and he said seriously: "Don't you know how much I drink, what's the matter, Wen Chang, you won't even be able to answer such a simple question." ”

Wei Yan coughed a few times, "Of course not." To say that Cao Ying, although he is a traitor of the country, but in terms of cunning and cunning, he can be called unparalleled in the world, and he is a veritable generation of annihilators, of course, he can't be a stupid pig. ”

Wei Yan's answer was very neat, Fang Shao smiled, and continued: "Well, since Cao Ying is not a stupid pig, then my second difficult question is easy to answer, let me ask, if Wen Chang walked the Meridian Valley with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, how could he hide Cao Ying's ears and eyes, and suddenly appear under Chang'an City like a god and a ghost descending from heaven without knowing it?" ”

"This ......" Wei Yan couldn't answer for a while, it was obvious that this was not within his consideration.

"I heard that as early as a few years ago, Cao Ying began to set up a post beacon fire system in Guanzhong, Qinling valley mouth to Chang'an, is Luoyang on the road, all over the post station, as long as there is a post station can be lit in time, within a day, Chang'an City will know the news, then only afraid, hehe......

"Well...... Wei Yan looked a little uncomfortable.

Fang Shao saw that he couldn't answer, and then said: "In other words, well, the third question, even if Wen Chang can appear in Chang'an City unknowingly, and when Chang'an City is not closed, when the defenders have no will to resist, and when the defenders are incompetent, they will break through this strong city in one fell swoop." Then let me ask, with the 10,000 soldiers and horses of Wen Chang, in this undecided city, under the double attack of the elite Cao army from Luoyang and Longyou, how long can Wen Chang hold out? ”

This question did not stump Wei Yan, and he immediately said: "Since we want to go north to Guanzhong, of course, Jingzhou and Hefei must respond to the strategy of Jingzhou and Hefei to hold back the enemy west of Guandong, so that they cannot transfer troops and do not come to the west." And the king's men and horses should also drag Cao Ying's main force in Longyou, so that he has no time to return to Chang'an. It only took a moment to delay, and the news of the fall of Chang'an spread all over Guanlong, and the morale of Cao's troops everywhere naturally collapsed, so Guanlong could be decided without a fight. ”

Fang Shao smiled: "It turns out that Wen Chang's plan requires so many prerequisites, I said Wen Chang, this is not a game of chess, a full game of chess pieces, you can trust your hands, and you can make moves according to your mind with a turn of your mind." I just want to ask, if any of these links are omission, who should be responsible for the loss of you and the 10,000 horses? ”

Fang Shao's words stumped Wei Yanlai, his face was a little unhappy, "Zhongzheng you, are you worrying too much, didn't Gaozu use the same strategy to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang with Huaiyin Hou Ming back then, Gaozu's plan can be successful, why can't you change it to me." ”

"When Chu and Han, Gaozu was nominally a subordinate of Xiang Yu, and when he entered Hanzhong, he burned the plank road to show that he did not have the heart to return to the east. And Xiang Yu, the overlord, after the separation, returned to Pengcheng, the hinterland of Western Chu, more than 108,000 miles away from Guanzhong, and the kings with different surnames he feuded, although the names were his subordinates, but in essence, they were the princes of one side, Xiang Yu's control of the world, how could it be compared with today's Cao Ying. And the incompetence of the king of the Three Qins and the opposition of the Battle of Qi and Chu gave Gao Zuming a good opportunity to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chencang, so that he could march out of Qinchuan and quickly pacify the Three Qins. Wen Chang thinks that the general trend of today can be compared with the trend of Chu and Han four hundred years ago? ”

When it comes to the analysis of the general trend, Fang Shao, a traverser, has an incomparable advantage, and his all-round longitudinal argument suddenly enlightened when he said that Wei Yan was like an initiation.

The mystery in his heart was solved, Wei Yan's displeasure also dissipated, and the expression on his face was naturally Fang Shao's admiration, "Zhongzheng, if it weren't for your reminder, I would still be self-righteous." Well, you're quite right, the strategy of attacking Meridian Valley is indeed a bit too self-righteous. It's a good thing I didn't give advice directly to the king, otherwise I would have to be made fun of by the king. ”

Wei Yan admitted that he had Qin in mind, of course Fang Shao couldn't let him feel like he had lost face, so he was relieved: "Wen Chang actually doesn't have to blame himself, the way of the art of war is to pay attention to the combination of odd and positive, your strange plan, if there is a mature enough time, it is not a bad idea to affect the overall situation." The key is whether or not you can meet this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

Fang Shao vetoed it first, and then affirmed that Wei Yan was much more comfortable now, so he raised his glass and smiled: "That's it, you and I rarely have a drink, so we won't talk about these boring business, come, let's have a good drink tonight, don't get drunk." ”

"Okay, don't get drunk!"

…… After a short stay in Shangyong County, Fang Shao continued to go west, of course, at the time of parting, Wei Yan did not forget to entrust Fang Shao with a few words, so that he could recommend more for himself in the King of Hanzhong, so that he could also get some opportunities to make meritorious contributions in the future Northern Expedition.

Five days later, Fang Shao arrived in Hanzhong without incident.

And when Fang Shao's chariots and horses landed from the Shuishui ferry port and marched to a place still one mile away from Nanzheng, Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, had already led many civil and military dignitaries in Nanzheng to greet him in person.

When Liu Bei saw Fang Shao, his face was full of red light and his face was radiant, obviously the recovery of Xiangfan and the great victory of Xiegu made Liu Bei's mood extremely good.

After the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, Liu Bei even invited Fang Shao to take a ride into the city, which made Fang Shao a little flattered. You must know that riding with the king is the highest honor that a king has given to his subordinates, and there are very few people in history who can enjoy such treatment.

Of course, Fang Shao also knew that Liu Bei's favor was not only given to him personally, but also to those Jingxiang meritorious ministers who he represented.

Liu Bei's car slowly entered the city, whether it was the officials or the people on the side of the road, they all bowed to Shi, Liu Bei nodded slightly to the subjects, showing the kindness and authority of the king, and Fang Shao did not dare to follow the calmly accepted this courtesy, and along the way, they all tried their best to show a cramped and uneasy, frightened and undetermined look.

When the car passed by the most prosperous avenue in Nanzheng, Liu Bei suddenly smiled and asked: "Zhongzheng, I invite you to take a ride with you, can it be glorious?" ”

Fang Shao thought for a while, and said, "I haven't seen glory." ”

Fang Shao's answer was beyond Liu Bei's expectations, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, so he said: "Then according to Zhongzheng's opinion, how can it be regarded as glory." ”

Fang Shao said angrily: "Shao only wants to help the king clear and pacify the eight kings, under the whole world, it is not the land of the king, the shore of the land, and the minister of the king." And Shao can also leave a name in history and be admired by future generations. At that time, even if Shao only rode a donkey, wandered the cliffs, and was an idler in the mountains, he would feel the supreme glory. ”

I have to admit that patting on the back is also an extremely advanced art, and the best realm is to shoot you like the spring breeze in April, like bathing in the coolness of the end of autumn, knowing that this is a sycophant, but there is no feeling of numbness.

Of course, this also depends on the level of the person being photographed, if it is a man like Fang Shao's former unit chief, a few sentences of "It is still Section Chief Ma who has vision", "I will have to ask Section Chief Ma more for advice and learn in the future" is enough to make him in a fog, but people like Liu Bei who have the ambition to swallow the sky can naturally only use the best kung fu to please him.

Sure enough, after listening to Fang Shao's words, Liu Bei was stunned at first, and then laughed, laughing proudly, laughing happily, laughing proudly, obviously Fang Shao's sycophant was patted on his heart.

After laughing, Liu Bei also said generously: "Don't worry, Zhongzheng, Lone will not disappoint you." However, if you and I say this, you and I know it, so it's better not to be too publicistic at this time. ”

Fang Shao hurriedly arched his hand and smiled: "Shao knows, thank you for the reminder." ”

When the monarch and the minister spoke, he had already entered the palace of Hanzhong, and a banquet that had been prepared for a long time began, Fang Shao presented Guan Yu's merit request by the way, and told the story of the battle of Xiangfan again, of course, with his style, he naturally tried to humbly push the merits to others, and then skillfully said the key role he played.

Liu Bei was very satisfied with the results of the battle of Xiangfan, and was also full of curiosity about the entire battle process, so Fang Shao spoke in detail in front of the ministers.

After listening to Fang Shao's detailed description, Liu Bei's mood became more and more happy, and he immediately decided to give Guan Yu 500 gold, Fang Shao 200 gold, and the rest of Jingzhou's civil and military forces were rewarded.

The banquet of the day ended in a joyful atmosphere, and after the banquet, Liu Bei left Fang Shao alone. Because Pang Tong and Ma Chao were still dealing with post-war matters at Xiegukou, and Fa Zheng and Zhang Fei were also in Wudu and had not returned, and Zhuge Liang was also in Chengdu, Liu Bei first asked Fang Shao about the next step.

"Now that Xiangfan has been decided, Northern Jingzhou is in a mess, and it is difficult to raise troops to the north in a short time. As for Hanzhong, after the fierce battle with Cao Ying, the soldiers must have been tired, and the grain and grass were also consumed. Shao thought that even if he wanted to go on a northern expedition, he would have to rest until after the autumn harvest, and then talk about it when the crops were harvested. During this time, I should also send a detailed work to go deep into the Central Plains, and I will contact those loyal people to make internal responses for the Northern Expedition in the future. ”

Liu Bei was deeply convinced by Fang Shao's analysis, and decided on three points in his heart, so he smiled and said: "That is the case, then Zhongzheng, you can also take advantage of this period of recuperation to go back to Chengdu to accompany your bride." Speaking of which, on the second day of your wedding, you separated from the bride for the battle of Xiangfan, and Lone has always felt guilty. ”

Liu Bei mentioned Sun Shangxiang, and Fang Shao's expression was a little dazed for a while.
