Three hundred and forty-two times, another knife was inserted
Just when Sima Yi was looking gloomily at Wuguan and withdrawing, Feng Yi's battle in Guanzhong was quietly and invisibly starting a close plan. After being cut off from the outside world by the Shu Han army, the Wei army besieging the pass was on the verge of collapse, and the war was not terrible, but the terrible thing was the war without a back road.
This is not the destruction of the Chu overlord, at that time the Chu army was just a river behind him, and at this moment the Wei army was facing endless passes and the Shu Han army that could be surrounded in all directions. At this time, after waiting for Zhang Jaw, Guo Huai and others to lead the remnants to break through the siege, Sima and Cao Zhen of Wei resolutely chose to give up the siege of Chencang and retreat to Fufeng and other Sanfu areas to protect Chang'an.
Although Xiahou Mao, the defender of Chang'an, is a mediocre talent, the dignified imperial capital is not something that can be easily attacked by a few thousand soldiers and horses, and of course, the Shu army did not open its eyes to fight Chang'an. Therefore, Cao Zhen was able to coerce the army to retreat to Sanfu and protect Chang'an, and he must know that the grain and logistics of the entire Yongliang Theater depended on Chang'an's supply, and the grain stored in Chang'an City was more than 20% of the grain stored in the entire Great Wei, which was enough to support these Wei troops for more than a year.
Cao Zhen fought well, as long as he could trap Chang'an, with Cao Wei's ability and troops, it would not be a problem to counterattack, even with the help of the Southern Xiongnu, he would be able to recover Guanzhong. The grain and grass of Shu Han have to rely on the supply of Hanzhong and even Shuzhong, and there will always be times when it is not good, as long as it ensures that Chang'an's grain storage is not obtained by it, Shu Han may not be able to hold on for long.
Among them, Zuo Feng Yi's guard general is Guo Huai, who is also a rare military general from a big family in Wei State, Guo Huai's grandfather Guo Quan is the Eastern Han Dynasty Great Si Nong, and his father Guo Yi is also the Yanmen Taishou of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the middle of Jian'an, Guo Huai was promoted to filial piety and honesty, and he was appointed as the governor of Pingyuan Mansion. When Cao Pi was a general, he summoned Guo Huai to be the thief Cao, and later turned into the prime minister Cao Yilingshi. Guo Huai can be literate and martial, and he is a rare all-rounder. Not only has he made great achievements in governing the affairs of a state and county, but he also has rules and laws for commanding the army, but since Guo Huai came out of the Wei State, most of the time he has played the role of a pillar or staff officer in the rear, and the only outstanding place is that during the Battle of Hanzhong, after Xiahou Yuan was killed by Zhao Yun, Guo Huai, who was Sima at that time, and Du Xi, the military advisor, supported Zhang Jaw to lead the army.
But Guo Huai's merits will naturally not be erased, although there is no outstanding martial arts, but he has won Cao Pi's trust. Since he first entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has been serving in the Wuguan Zhonglang General's Office, and has been serving as Zhangjaw's Sima, Protector, and Staff Officer earlier, and now Guo Huai's official position has reached the side of the Yongzhou Assassin History.
The Yongzhou region is a special state thorn history department, which has always been in or near Gyeonggi from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up the Thirteen Prefectures Assassination History Department. The west of the area belongs to Liangzhou, and the east belongs to the commander of the school. It is not an independent state. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty made Luoyang his capital. Yongzhou was established, but it was cancelled soon after. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Cao Pi era, Yongzhou was really established, and the Yongzhou of the Cao Wei period was fixed in the east of the Yellow River in the original Liangzhou and Chang'an and the nearby Sanfu of the Sili School Captain's Department.
According to the earlier calculation, Guo Huai felt that the Northern Expedition of the Shu Army was certainly overwhelming, but the pressure on grain, grass and logistics was very great, and it was difficult for Shu to go to the sky, which was not an empty word. This is what he didn't know that Zhuge Liang had the artifact of a wooden ox and a flowing horse. Therefore, after retreating to Feng Yi, Guo Huai, after consulting with the reliable big families in the city, entrusted them to secretly start collecting grain and grass, and sent reliable soldiers to guard the city gate day and night. Supervise the circulation of grain and grass, if it is a large amount of grain and straw, it is bound not to flow out of the city, and also collect grain, military armor, weapons, salt and other military supplies into the city from other places, and prepare to clear the wilderness.
Guo Huai can still arrange so leisurely, because since the Shu army forced the Wei army into Chang'an and Sanfu, it was not in a hurry to attack, but steadily and steadily encroached on Cao Wei's forces in Guanlong step by step, and surrendered a large number of besieged remnants, and now it is consolidating its foundation. And Zuo Fengyi is the city closest to the northeast after Sanfu, and now the Shu generals Li Yan, Zhao Yun, and Deng Zhi are confronting Zhang Jaw and Du Xian! Whatever you need to do here.
On the Wei side, on the contrary, although Emperor Cao Rui of Wei took Luoyang's army to the front of Tongguan, he could only look at Guan Xing and sigh and that's it. There are really not many Wei troops left, 50,000 Wei troops are trapped in Chang'an, and Sima Yi's troops can't move, after all, Lu Xun is still besieging Wancheng, and he can't give up this southern gate of Luoyang! Therefore, Cao Rui, who is not strong, cannot pose any actual threat to Tongguan at all, and it is precisely because of this that Xu Shu can easily digest Guan Long, and at the same time, in order to appease those Qiang people who help in the war.
Guo Huai was still at a loss, just nervously and anxiously waiting for the arrival of the Shu Han army, but he didn't know that the enemy army had already lurked outside the city and could attack Feng Yi at any time.
According to the usual practice, Guo Huai must deal with county affairs first every day, but he is more concerned about the armament situation of the entire Feng Yi. Today, I got a report from the subordinate officials, everything is in order, more than half a month of secret rectification, Feng Yi has a lot of food and grass, enough to support the five thousand defenders in the city to fight for several months, and this is enough, once the incident happens suddenly, he can also build a high city wall to defend, provide assistance for Chang'an or wave his army and Chang'an's Cao Zhenli should cooperate with the outside.
"Envoy, the number of merchants who have taken refuge in the city has gradually increased in the past few days!!" At this time, a subordinate officer suddenly spoke.
"Oh!!" Guo Huai didn't care at this time, glanced at the subordinate officer and continued: "If you are selling grain, buy all the grain, and don't leave a single one to the Han army." ”
"Envoy, it's strange that they are all selling grain, and they won't leave after selling grain to us!?"
"What!!" Guo Huai's expression was suddenly paused, and he hurriedly asked: "What is the origin of these merchants, did they all find out before they were put into the city!?" Don't put in the enemy's fine work into the city! ”
"Envoy, they are all from the Yang family, how dare the people below stop them!!"
"The Yang family? Which Yang family!? Guo Huai suddenly had a bad premonition, "But Hongnong Yang's!" ”
"Where can you write two Yangs in one stroke!!"
Hongnong Yang's, Hongnong County Western Han Dynasty Yuan Ding four years, jurisdiction over the south of the Yellow River in Henan, west of Yiyang, Luoshui, Shechuan River upstream, Danjiang River Basin. Yang is surnamed Yang Junwang, the Western Han Dynasty Prime Minister Yang Chang (Sima Qian's son-in-law), great-grandson Yang Zhenguan Taiwei, known as "Guanxi Confucius", Zibing, Sun Ci, great-grandson Biao, "Four Worlds and Three Princes" (Yang Zhen's word Boqi, "Guanxi Hall", "Sizhitang" and "Qingbai Hall" are known as Yang Zhen, from Yang Zhenqi to Yang Bing's descendant Yang Biao (8th) are all Taiwei, later generations are called "Four Worlds and Three Princes)", Yang Zhen's son Yang Feng's descendants are also high-ranking officials. Hongnong Yang is the highest standard family in the world, and together with Hanoi Sima and Runan Yuan, they are known as the heads of the families of Guanlong, Hebei and Central Plains respectively.
However, Hongnong Yang was a standard Cao Wei diehard, because they were loyal to the Han family, and Yang Xiu, the son of the previous head of the family, Yang Biao, was killed by Cao Cao because of a chicken rib, of course, more involved in the dispute between his sons. Guo Huai had reason to think that the Yang family would serve the Shu Han who was more suitable for him, and most importantly, Hongnong County was east of Tongguan.
Guo Huai, who felt that something was wrong, said to his subordinates: "Find a few people, let's go and see those merchants at the city gate!" ”
"Whoa! The next official will go and prepare! The subordinate officer hurriedly said, turned around and withdrew to prepare for the trip.
Although Guo Huai said that he only prepared a few personal followers, how could the subordinate officer be so casually assured, when even if he selected more than 300 soldiers from the barracks to wait outside the palace, although Guo Huai was unwilling to make such a big fanfare, he still jumped up and walked towards the city gate.
It was already approaching dusk, this squad was in a big battle, and although Guo Huai did not wear armor, he had a heroic spirit, and the ordinary people recognized Guo Huai as a general, and at this time, the people hurriedly retreated during the war, not daring to disturb the road.
But no one noticed that there were countless pairs of eyes on the several restaurants that Guo Huai passed by, looking at Guo Huai's march in surprise and worry.
"Damn it! How could Guo Huai Pifu choose to inspect the city gate today, and the governor ...... there! One person closed the window and couldn't help but say nervously.
"Guo Huai, a man of both humanities and martial arts, is quite strategic, but he has always served as a general, joining the army, etc., and he has a reputation for making suggestions behind the scenes, so he is not famous, so don't despise him." A young scribe on the other side of the wine table said with a wary expression.
"What should I do!? The governor is preparing to enter the city today!! ”
"Take advantage of the trend and take Guo Huai! Brother Yang, please go and inform your family master as soon as possible!! ”
"In this way, there will be Brother Lao Xu at the city gate!!"
The family governor is not the Japanese one, the word "family governor" originated from the Chinese "Historical Records" Yue Wang Goujian family: "The family has the eldest son called the family governor". And the family governor in the mouth of the people surnamed Yang is the head of the Yang family at this time, Yang Huan, this Yang Huan is the son of Yang Xiu, since Yang Xiu was killed, the Yang family has been separated from the Cao family, Yang Huan chose to help Shu Han after considering the alliance with his old relative Sima or the alliance with Shu Han, so there was the scene just now, it is worth mentioning that the young scribe is Xu Shu's son Shu Sanqi Lang Xu Ling.
