Qiao Ren was actually more worried about whether Lu Su had anything to do with Sun Quan, but as soon as this idea came out, Qiao Ren instantly extinguished it. Zhou Yu and Lu Su were good friends, and they were appreciated by Sun Ce very early, but they left Jiangdong because of the funeral, and it was unlikely that they would throw themselves into Sun Quan. So it seems that Lu Su really thought that he Qiao Ren would not get fat, so he acted so that he could grasp the entire Huainan.

Then the attitude of Sun Lang and many Huainan generals is even clearer, they misunderstood that Lu Su's actions were instructed by Sun Ce, so they kept silent. After all, Lu Su was personally appointed by Sun Ce, and Qiao Ren has been staying in Jianye since he recovered from his injury, and he has no intention of coming back for a year.

"Hey!" Qiao Ren sighed reluctantly, "These guys think so much. ”

In the end, Lu Su is not closer to Sun Ce than Qiao Ren, Lu Su's actions seem to outsiders to divide Qiao Ren's military power, but in fact, he helped Qiao Ren. Before leaving, Sun Ce personally ordered that Shouchun should not be attacked for two years, and there would be no military action by Cao's army, it may be that there was some agreement between Sun Ce and Cao Cao, but it was only necessary to understand that there would be no war in Huainan for two years. Qiao Ren's descendants were divided into various counties in Huainan, and they were able to control the situation in the entire Huainan in secret. As for Hefei, with Qiao Ren's current official position, the Hefei garrison will be in the bag, not to mention that Qiao Ren is the leader of the army, whether in name or fact, he is one of the commanders of Sun Ce's army.

After figuring out this, Qiao Ren was in a good mood, and it was rare to think of any countermeasures to deal with Lu Su. "Zixia, go to Taishou Mansion."

Hefei was originally used as the seat of Yangzhou, and there were three generals such as Zhang Liao to guard it, so there were several mansions in the front hall in the city, and Sun Lang's mansion was also some distance from the governor's mansion. Riding on the war horse, Qiao Ren was in a strange mood, he was assassinated last time he passed this distance, but he didn't expect that he would come back alive.

Looking at Jia Hua and hundreds of guards behind him, Qiao Ren couldn't help but smile bitterly, this Jia Hua also brought hundreds of heavily armed guards. It seems that the assassination of Qiao Ren last time made Jia Hua, the captain of the guard, blame himself very much.

Sun Lang, the general of Dingwei in the Taishou Mansion, did not fall asleep, he was holding a book in his hand, and the words Spring and Autumn could be seen faintly under the light.

"My lord, the Metropolitan Governor is here."

"What?" Sun Lang was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the silk book in his hand, and hurriedly said, "Quick, follow me to meet him." ”

In the main hall of the back hall, Qiao Ren sat on the top with an indifferent face, neither spoke, nor even changed his expression. Sun Lang, who was at the bottom of the head, was like sitting on pins and needles, not knowing what to do, neither left nor right, and finally forced him to be anxious and took the lead in saying: "Brother-in-law, I..."

"Do you think your eldest brother is cutting my power!" Qiao Ren sneered.

"This!" Sun Lang couldn't think of any suitable words for a while, he was already a little cowardly, which would make him say nothing.

"Huh! You, you shouldn't speculate about your eldest brother's thoughts, and you shouldn't underestimate your brother-in-law and me. Qiao Ren slapped Sun Lang on the head with a violent shudder, and scolded with a smile, "Okay, it's over, your brother-in-law is here to eat this time, and it is said that after I left, all the cooks in my house came to you." "It's not just the chef Qiao Ren's righteous son George, who is also raised by Sun Lang, although Sun Lang is cowardly and timid, his character is still good.

"That's it?" Sun Lang asked with some disbelieving.

provoked Qiao Ren to slander for a while, what can I do if it's not over, your guy is Sun Shangxiang's only younger brother, is it possible that I can't cut it down. I think so, but in fact, Qiao Ren hooked his arms and thighs and directly put Sun Lang in the dining room, Qiao Ren is really hungry, he has been dealing with things since he arrived in Hefei, and the water and rice have not entered!

The situation in Hanzhong, thousands of miles away, became more and more complicated, because in addition to the Liu and Zhang families, Cao Cao's army was also involved. Xiahou Yuan, the general of the expedition to the west who took the lead in the Xiuting battalion, led the army of generals to this underground village first, and Cao Cao's main force was still in Chang'an. This time, Cao Cao can be said to have gambled a lot, and the Zhuqiang, Hu Wang and Han Sui in Liangzhou are still unstable, and Cao Cao's army went to Hanzhong. However, Cao Cao was not without a response, Zhang Liao, who was born in the state and spent a period of time in the Xiliang army, supervised Yu Ban and Lejin to deal with Han Sui. As for Shouchun, only Xiahoudun was left to defend it, and Dongwu would not attack it within two years anyway.

"How do you say this, but I don't know what is special about this Dingjun Mountain?" In the middle of the camp, Xiahou Yuan said to a scribe on the side.

The scribe pointed to the location of Dingjun Mountain, and said with a beam:

Although this Dingjun Mountain also belongs to Rice Cang Mountain, due to the difference in geology, the stratum on the north side of the mountain sinks, so it forms an open flat land in front of the mountain, which is not only suitable for garrison troops, but also suitable for battlefield. There is a big depression behind the main peak of Dingjun Mountain, which the locals call Tianwa, according to the scout's report, at least tens of thousands of people can be tuned, such a place, isn't it the most suitable place to deploy ambush soldiers? Besides, the distance between Dingjun Mountain and the flat land is no more than 300 paces at most, such a height difference is neither too high nor too low, and it is more suitable for the ambush soldiers on the mountain to quickly rush down and join the battlefield. Isn't such a treasure land a God-given place for use! ”

Xiahou Yuan frowned, and then glanced at Zhang Jaw and Xu Huang on the side. But he always felt a palpitation, maybe he didn't know that he died here in the future. And this strategy is exactly what the law of later generations is using to deal with him Xiahou Yuan. And that literati is Jingzhao Yin Zhang Ji, maybe he is not famous and not good at ghost schemes, but a similar strategy is still difficult for this one.

Not long ago, Zhang sent scouts to explore the terrain in the area of Dingjun Mountain several times, and combined with the topography of the Yangping Pass area, after a comprehensive analysis, he came up with this strategy that was almost exactly the same as the battle of Dingjun Mountain in history.

History regards the capture of Hanzhong as the most brilliant and dazzling use of troops in Fazheng's life, not to mention anything else, just to say that the battle of Dingjun Mountain is after a detailed list of careful planning, little by little Xiahou Yuan was lured into the trap set up, and from beginning to end he occupied the initiative, so that Xiahou Yuan knew that there might be a plan, but he had to be led by the nose and obediently sent to death. It is no wonder that later generations (before the Song Dynasty) called Fa Zheng the first strategist under Liu Bei (the first master Chuanyun: Zhuge Liang is the humerus, and Fa Zheng is the mastermind, that is, the division of labor between Xiao He and Zhang Liang. After his death, Liu Bei was very sad and cried for several days. Chen Shou praised Cheng Yu and Guo Jia in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms as comparable to Wei State. Of course, Zhang Derong can't do such a fine plan, but resourceful people always have the same understanding. Turning passive and active, skillfully changing the battlefield that is beneficial to oneself, attacking the enemy must be saved, and luring the enemy must be released...... War is an art.

Of course, the defeat of Xiahou Yuan in history has its own character problems, and what Xiahou Yuan is now facing is the mediocre general Zhang Wei and an untrusted Pang De, the layout naturally does not need to be too detailed, as long as it can successfully occupy Dingjun Mountain, the victory or defeat can basically be determined.

"Good! Although Zhang Wei is incompetent, Pang Ling Ming is very strong. You lead the troops to seize Dingjun Mountain, the governor let Guo Huai accompany the army as a staff officer, and Gongming is the rearguard, so you can go with confidence. ”
