Chapter 397: Ultimatum

After thinking about it again, why did Lao Tzu sell your Fang Shao's account. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If Lao Tzu blocks you here, Wu Yi and the others succeed in their big event, Lao Tzu will still be a great contribution, and he can become the big Sima as one of the brains of the Qin Yi Group.
And if he helps you Fang Shao, it is tantamount to betraying the Qin Yi Group, as for the benefit of the right big Sima you promised, whether you can give it at that time depends on your face.
If you count it like this, it doesn't seem like it will be worth it if you throw it at you.
Meng Da's eyes rolled around, and his expression changed for a while, Deng Zhi could naturally guess what he was thinking in his heart.
"The lower officials are thinking, what happened in Jinyang may not be approved by everyone, General Meng should also have his own opinions, why bother to be at the mercy of others, if things are not good, wouldn't he be implicated."
What Deng Zhi means is that although Wu Yi and Huang Quan are the leading figures of the Qin Yishi people, now that Fa Zheng is dead, the Qin Yishi people group has actually been divided, and what Wu and Huang do does not represent the intentions and interests of all Qin Yishi people, and his Meng Da turn does not mean that he has betrayed Qin Yishi people.
Deng Zhi's words moved Meng Da, in fact, as far as he was concerned, there was still a layer of dissatisfaction in his heart for what Wu and Huang did.
Because of such a big matter, Wu and Huang made their own decisions without consulting them, and when they evolved into such a situation afterwards, they still did not listen to their opinions and propositions in time, but just repaired a book, and ordered themselves to guard the Jingcheng Pass in a commanding tone, and did not let Fang Shao and others enter the pass, as if they were just a small role in Qin Yishi's people, and they didn't need to have their own thoughts, just listen to their decisions.
If it was a change of practice, it would be fine to instruct himself like this, but if it was Wu and Huang, Meng Da would be unconvinced.
"The two people in Jinyang were originally Liu Zhang's old subordinates, and they were Yizhou scholars, and when General Meng and Fa Sima welcomed His Majesty into Shu together, those two people have always been opposed. And after His Majesty entered Shu, the two saw that the wood was already in the boat, and for their own interests, General Meng and others, who had just pretended, stood together. General Meng thought about it, if they were Yizhou scholars and won the power, would they really sincerely share the fruits of this victory with General Meng? ”
Deng Zhi saw that Meng Da's expression had changed, and he knew that he was already wandering in his heart, so he lost no time in continuing to provoke the relationship between him and Huang Wu.
Putting aside his position and speaking from the heart, what Deng Zhi said is not unreasonable.
Meng Da thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I don't understand what Bo Miao said, I don't understand it, I only know that now His Majesty is in Jinyang, and he is obedient to those two people, and now Jinyang has become the China and New Zealand of the Han Kingdom, not to mention, General Ma Mengqi is already on the way from Youzhou to Jinyang, once his army arrives in Jinyang, hehe, the overall situation has been decided." ”
"Haha-" Deng Zhi suddenly burst out laughing, laughing even higher than Meng Da, and there was a bit of irony in his laughter.
Meng Da's face sank slightly, and he said unhappily: "I don't know what you have to laugh about, Bo Miao, isn't what I said the truth?" ”
Deng Zhi said with a smile: "The lower officials just think that General Meng is now talking about the overall situation, isn't it too early?" ”
Meng Da was stunned: "How do you say this?" ”
Deng Zhi stroked his beard and said proudly: "The situation in Jinyang has long been under the control of Fang Sima, General Meng should not forget that Ma Youchang's 20,000 soldiers and horses are already west of Jingcheng, does General Meng think that this chess piece arranged by Fang Sima will do nothing?" ”
Deng Zhi's words suddenly reminded Meng Da that now in Jinyang, the soldiers and horses in the hands of Huang and Wu are only 4,000, it can be said that Ma Tan's 20,000 soldiers and horses will be a team with absolute superiority in the entire state, if Ma Jian takes action, whether Huang and Wu can deal with it with 4,000 soldiers and horses is indeed unknown.
The balance in Meng Da's heart began to tilt more and more at this time, and he secretly complained in his heart: "This Huang Quan and Wu Yi are really mediocre people, they are so careless, if they had discussed with me earlier, I would not have let Ma Tan's soldiers and horses cross the border, now it's good, it seems that the situation is a little tricky!" ”
After a few complaints, Meng Da suddenly remembered something, his demeanor became calm again, and he smiled slightly: "It is true that Fang Sima has far-reaching calculations, but I will also ask rhetorically, even if that Ma Youchang has 20,000 soldiers and horses, does he dare to use force without authorization?" Isn't he afraid of being accused of rebellion? ”
Meng Da's mind is still very detailed, you must know that although Liu Bei is very likely to obey Wu and Huang, whether he was forced to obey, or because he was seriously ill, he was fooled by those two people in a delirious situation.
But no matter what the reason, if Ma Jian sent troops to attack Wu and Huang without authorization, it may endanger the safety of the Son of Heaven.
After all, no matter what high-sounding reasons you have, hurting the Son of Heaven is the most important crime that cannot be punished.
The cunning Meng Da made Deng Zhi very painful, he pretended to be confident and laughed again, and then said: "Ma Youchang has already received Fang Sima's secret order, so he naturally has a clever plan to deal with it at the right time, and General Meng doesn't have to worry about him." Now General Meng should be worried about himself, now the big Sima personally led more than 100,000 elite soldiers, not far from the pass, if General Meng insisted on refusing to let these 100,000 elite soldiers pass the pass, I am afraid that these soldiers who are eager to return to their hometowns will not easily comply. ”
Deng Zhi began Chi Guoguo's threat of force, and a few words made Meng Da's face change, obviously, for people like Meng Da, force persecution would be more effective.
Meng Da's mind turned, and he hurriedly snorted, and said with a bitter expression: "This matter is very important, how can you make a decision in the past, and I hope to give you a few days to think." ”
Deng Zhi immediately asked, "I wonder how long General Meng has to think?" ”
Meng Da paused and stretched out his palm: "It won't take long, five days is enough." ”
Deng Zhi sneered: "Five days is too much, Fang Sima had an order before leaving, if General Meng wants to think, he can only delay it for two days at most, and if General Meng hasn't figured it out after two days, then he has to settle his destiny." ”
Deng Zhi was very cold and ordered the ultimatum, looking unchangeable.
Faced with Deng Zhi's somewhat arrogant attitude, Meng Da could only turn a blind eye and sighed: "Okay, two days is two days." ”
However, it was said that after Deng Zhi completed his task as a lobbyist, he returned to the camp that night.
After saying that Meng Da was in two days, most of the generals thought that Meng Da was deliberately delaying, and that they should not listen to his words, and immediately launched a strong attack on Jingcheng Pass.
"Although Meng Da's troops are only a few thousand, Jingcheng Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to break through it in a short time. Now the situation in Jinyang is changing rapidly, and our army's grain and grass can't last long, I'm afraid we can't afford it. ”
It was Wang Jun who was worried, but it was not that he disapproved of attacking Jingcheng, but he was not confident in capturing it in a short time.
At this time, Deng Zhi said: "According to the opinion of the lower officials, the reason why Meng Da wants two days is to inquire about the situation in Jinyang again, he seems to be very jealous of Ma Youchang and the army, we might as well wait for him for two days, so that he can completely die." ”
The reason why Fang Shao chose Ma Jian in the first place and ordered him to lead the army back to Bingzhou was out of trust in Ma Yan's ability to make decisions on the spot, and now that Jinyang has changed, with his strategy, he should not let himself down.
After pondering for a while, Fang Shao said, "Okay, then we'll wait for two more days." However, in the past two days, Meng Da could not be allowed to live in peace, and the orders were sent to the armies to force the city to be walled, and the armies created a posture of preparing to attack the fortified positions in a big way, as a deterrent to Meng Da. ”
………… On the night of sending Deng Zhi away, Meng Da hurriedly sent people to Jinyang to try to find out the latest news of Ma Yanjun, so as to use it as a basis for which faction he should fall towards.
The two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Meng Da lived very unsteadily in these two days.
Fang Shao's army outside the city forced the city to go down to the wall, preparing to attack the city on a large scale, and Fang Shao even put more than 100 Shenwei cannons at the gate of the city to show off his might, and the defenders in the city were panicked.
Two days later, Tanma returned with news that shocked Meng Da.
According to Meng Da's thoughts, if Ma Tan only stationed soldiers and horses in Jinyang, but he has always been stationary, it proves that he has concerns and does not dare to use force without authorization, in this way, the probability of success of Wu and Huang will be greatly increased, then he will defend the city and prevent Fang Shao's army from entering the pass.
If Ma Tan launched an attack on Huang Wu, it would depend on the situation of the battle, if Ma Tan had the upper hand, he would decisively fall to Fang Shao outside the city, and if Ma Tan could not attack the inner city for a long time, he would stick to Jingcheng and wait for Ma Chao's Youzhou Corps to arrive.
However, Ma Yan's actions were precisely out of Meng Da's two considerations.
Ma Tanqian, who occupied the east gate, did not drive all the soldiers and horses to Jinyang, and he only invested 10,000 troops in Jinyang, and the other 10,000 horses were sent by him to the north of Bingzhou, and Yu Qian said that he occupied Yanmen Pass.
Yanmen Pass is the key to the north of Jinyang, is the only way to lead to Jinzhong in the north of Jin, and the danger of its pass is far better than that of Jingcheng. Ma Chao's army had arrived in Zhongshan Kingdom in northern Jin at this time, and if he wanted to go south to Jinyang through Yanmen County, he had to pass through Yanmen County.
Ma Jian took the lead in occupying this county, which meant that Ma Chao's southward route was blocked. Even if Ma Chao is strong, if he wants to break through the Yanmen Xiongguan with 50,000 soldiers and horses, which is guarded by 10,000 soldiers, this difficulty is far higher than that of Fang Shao's army to break through Jingcheng.
After hearing this astonishing news, Meng Da had to admit that Fang Shao's strategy was far inferior even to Huang and Wu combined, and if he was still stubborn, it would be tantamount to a moth to a fire.
"The general trend has gone, the general trend has gone......"
