――――― "Are you sure that Wen Yuan was really killed by the Wu people?" Guan Yu questioned carefully, as if he didn't believe it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"This ...... The little ones are just heard...... I heard that the Wu people set up a fire plan at that time, surrounded Zhang Liao and other 800 cavalry, only a dozen horsemen escaped, and the rest were burned beyond recognition, and Hefei City did not hear that Zhang Liao fled back, so the Wu people speculated that Zhang Liao was burned to death in the fire, and the small information was also inquired from the Wu people. ”

"What bullshit information, you have to see the corpse in life, and you have to see people in death, since you can't confirm Wen Yuan's corpse, how dare you say that he is dead. Wen Yuan's courage and martial arts are outstanding, how can he be easily killed by a mere Wu person. , go and inquire about me again! ”

Xiaozuo was scolded, and slipped out of the tent in fright.

Guan Yu's feelings for Zhang Liao, Fang Shao can also understand.

Guan Yu and Zhang Liao call each other brothers, and under the monarch and minister, they are brothers.

In such a troubled era, there are not many people who can call each other brothers.

As for how the two of them formed a brotherhood, Fang Shao is not very clear, probably because Guan Yu and Zhang Liao belong to the Hedong clan, and the famous general Xu Huang is also a Hedong clan, in such an era of great nostalgia, presumably fellow villagers are the premise that Guan Yu can be called brothers with these two.

And Guan Yu is so arrogant, his gaze is not comparable to ordinary people, he can enter his eyes, and he is called a brother, naturally he is not an ordinary person.

Facts have proved that his two brothers are indeed not ordinary people, although they are enemies of each other, they are also heroes of the world who can be compared with Guan Yu.

It's a pity that one of them went like this?

Thinking back to the time when Xuzhou was in the past, when Cao Ying was working together, the brothers ate meat and got drunk, and happily talked about the lofty ambitions in their hearts, what a happy life it was. Now, those good times can only be hidden deep in the depths of memory, and occasionally dig out to remember the lost youth.

Maybe Guan Yu was surprised, but the result of the battle of Hefei was expected by Fang Shao, otherwise, he would not have written that letter, and the eldest brother who reminded him thousands of miles away was wary of Zhang Liao.

As it turned out, his prediction was correct. Now that Hefei has fallen, the army of Eastern Wu can easily attack the land of Lianghuai, and at this time, it poses a real threat to Cao Ying.

It's just that, according to the spies' returns, the only thing that can't be determined is that Zhang Liao's life and death have become a suspense at the moment, but this doesn't seem to be an important matter for Fang Shao.

At this time, Na Ma Liang praised: "I didn't expect that there are such clever people in Eastern Wu, this plan is wonderful." Now that Hefei has been broken, the pressure on our side has been sharply reduced, and it is time to take advantage of this opportunity to let the soldiers recuperate. ”

As soon as Ma Liang's words fell, Guan Yu slapped the case and scolded: "Bullshit, the villain of Dongwu will use cunning techniques, and he will not have an upright blood surname." ”

Everyone was taken aback by this Guan Yu's sudden anger, and Ma Liang was also shocked inexplicably, thinking: "Soldiers, treacherous, what's so strange about deceit, besides, Dongwu has Hefei, which is also beneficial to us, I don't know what kind of temper you have."

Obviously, Ma Liang didn't know much about Guan Yu, but he didn't know that Guan Yu was angry with Dongwu because of his feelings for Zhang Liao.

"Wu people have always been like this, and it is not surprising. Ji Chang is also reasonable, now that Hefei has been broken, Cao Ying and the southeast are under more serious threats, even if he returns from the east of the Guandong, he will definitely not dare to take Xiangfan easily. Let's take the right time to recuperate, appease the people, and when the time is ripe, we will respond with Hanzhong and make a northern expedition to the Central Plains. ”

Fang Shao started to be a "peacemaker" in a timely manner, and quickly opened the topic.

Guan Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Zhongzheng is reasonable, so let's do it, without further ado, you can set off for Hanzhong as soon as possible, tell the king about Jingzhou, and ask the soldiers for a reward as soon as possible." ”

After getting Guan Yu's consent, three days later, Fang Shao set off to Hanzhong with Guan Yu's merit watch, and by the way, he also took the captive with him.

Because Xiangfan has been decided, and Shangyong and other counties are also in hand, the king of Hanzhong is now all based on Hanshui, so Fang Shao went to Hanzhong this time, and did not need to take the Yangtze River, and transferred to Hanzhong through Chengdu.

The news that Fang Shao entered Hanzhong through the west of the Han River was transmitted to the three eastern counties in advance, because the Han River flowed through the jurisdiction of Shangyong County, Shangyong Taishou Wei Yan took advantage of the name of inspection to visit Yun County by the Han River, where he received Fang Shao warmly.

On the same day, Wei Yan set up a sumptuous private banquet for Fang Shao in Yunxian County, with good wine and meat, and beautiful women singing and dancing in front, Fang Shao's journey was swept away.

"Zhongzheng, I want to toast you three cups, this first cup, first wish you great achievements in Xiangyang to help General Guan, come, drink this cup." Wei Yan did it first.

Fang Shao also drank all the wine, and said with a smile: "Where do I have any credit, it's just a mouthful, but it's you, Wen Chang, this feint attack on Wancheng made Cao Ren have to come back to help, otherwise we won't be able to flood Fancheng, you have made a great contribution." ”

Wei Yan is not the kind of hypocrisy, so he said calmly: "I naturally have the credit for the response, but if it weren't for Zhongzheng's miraculous strategy, I wouldn't have had any credit for this battle of Xiangfan." I salute you again for this cup. ”

After drinking the second cup, Wei Yan raised his glass again and said: "I still want to respect Zhongzheng for this third cup, thank you for recommending me to the king to go out of the three eastern counties of the town." ”

Of course, Wei Yan is grateful to him, like Huang Zhong and others, although the credit is great and the official position is also very high, but in the end it is just a general used with the army, and Wei Yan is out of the three counties in the east of the town, although the power position is not as heavy as Guan Yu, but in Han China, there are only a handful of people who can act as a major member of the field, and Wei Yan can be said to have become famous overnight.

"Hehe, if I don't recommend you out of the three counties in the east of the town, maybe the king of Hanzhong will appoint you to be the Taishou of Hanzhong, if you had known, maybe you wouldn't have thanked me so much." But for the sake of the overall situation, there is only one grievance for you. ’

muttered in his heart, but he drank happily, and when he was full of wine, he became interested, "The friendship between you and me, Wen Chang doesn't have to be polite to me." ”

After a few rounds of drinking, the atmosphere of the private banquet gradually improved, Wei Yan approached and said mysteriously: "I expect that soon, the king will raise troops to the north to attack Guanlong, and then he will also ask Zhongzheng you for a strategy." I have a quick strategy here, if the king asks, Zhongzheng you don't visit me to enter this word. ”

Fang Shao thought that Wei Yan was joking because he had drunk too much, so he asked casually, "But I don't know what Wen Chang has to do?" ”

Wei Yan said in a low voice: "If the king goes north to attack Guanlong, he will inevitably use the main army to go out of Qishan or go to the slope valley to fight for the right side of Long. At that time, Cao Ying will also lead the main force to fight in Longyou, and then only the king can drag Cao Ying for ten days and a half months, and then order me to lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, travel lightly, steal out of the Meridian Valley Road, and within ten days the troops can come to Chang'an City, take advantage of its unpreparedness, and capture Chang'an in one fell swoop. At that time, Guan Long was shaken, not only the west of Chang'an could not be fixed, but even Cao Ying could be trapped and died in Longyou, which was a miracle strategy for the world that I thought of for the king. ”

Hearing Wei Yan's words, Fang Shao's mouthful of wine almost spurted out, and he thought: "What kind of wonder should I be, it turns out to be the legendary Meridian Valley surprise attack on Chang'an." ’

As a history buff, Fang Shao had made a detailed analysis of the strategy of the Meridian Valley surprise attack before crossing over.

It can be said that the prerequisite for the success of this plan is based on the premise that the enemy is unaware and Chang'an City surrenders without a fight.

First of all, Meridian Valley is indeed a shortcut, but with Cao Ying's talent, when he leads the main force to fight in Longyou, he may not be wary of the strange soldiers of Meridian Valley.

In the original history after the Three Kingdoms, the adventures of attacking Chang'an from the Meridian Valley all ended in failure without exception, and the most famous was Gao Yingxiang, the first king of the Chongzhen era of the Ming Dynasty.

This leading eldest brother personally led 50,000 main forces to rush into the Meridian Valley, confident that he would quickly reach Chang'an from here. It's just that the road in this meridian valley is narrow, and the peasant army has only been walking for a few days before it has unluckily encountered heavy rain, and the 50,000-strong army has walked for more than half a month to finish half of it, and the whole army is sleepy and lacking horses, and the material losses are serious.

However, the leading brother surnamed Gao was not depressed, he stubbornly believed that his move was unexpected by many people, and in a few days, it would shock the world.

Of course, many people did not expect it, but among many people, Sun Chuanting was not included.

When he finally walked out of the Meridian Valley after going through hardships and dangers, and the road ahead was about to be smooth, Gao Yingxiang, who was full of longing, saw Sun Chuanting who was full of anger. Sun Chuanting's anger was justified, because he and his 10,000 horses had been waiting here for fifteen days.

So, only four days later, Brother Gao unfortunately gave up the name of King Chuang to a subordinate general named Li Zicheng.

At that time, after Fang Shao saw this history, he had a strong conjecture that this King Gao Chuang had read the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Mr. Luo Guanzhong at the same time. After reading it, he must have lamented Wei Yan's "not being reused", Zhuge Liang's "excessive caution", and his brain was hot, and he decided to use practical actions to test Wei Yan's strategy.

As it turned out, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was just a novel.

When Gao Yingxiang was dying, he would definitely hold Li Zicheng's hand and tell him with a lot of emotion: Self-success, self-success, a lesson in blood, listen to the words of the old brother, don't read the novel as a military book...... Of course, Wei Yan's proposal for the surprise attack on Meridian Valley does not mean that he does not know the art of war, on the contrary, it proves that he is familiar with the art of war. However, the art of war is dead, but people are alive, and the use of the art of war by famous generals of the past generations will always have a strong personal style.

Fast as lightning, fierce as thunder, this is Wei Yan's style. However, it also depends on who the opponent is.

Since Fang Shao was friendly with Wei Yan, he didn't have so many tactfuls, so he drank another glass of wine, patted Wei Yan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Wen Chang, your plan is a good plan, but if you want me to offer this plan to the king, it depends on whether you can answer my three questions." ”

Wei Yan looked stunned and asked, "Which three problems?" ”
