Chapter 017: Guanzhong is pacified
Zhuge Liang sent Pang Tong away, and then remembered to find a teacher for Zhuge Zhan. Beat his chest and regret it. This is a report from the door, and the army is quick to report, and there is an urgent military situation. Please return to the camp as soon as possible. Zhuge Liang was taken aback and explained some things in the family. Immediately he hurried to the camp with his attendant Pegasus. Zhuge Liang arrived at the camp and found that Zhao Yun had already waited in the camp. Zhao Yun saw that Zhuge Liang had arrived, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute,
"Military division, according to the Tanmalay report, the Cao Hong Department of Wancheng and the Cao Ren Department of Hefei have been frequently transferred recently. There is an internal line from Xu Du to report that the war in Guanzhong is nearing the end, and Ma Chao and Han Sui are about to be defeated. The imperial court has already begun to deploy the southern expedition to Jingzhou, which is expected to be in the spring of next year. This is intelligence. Zhao Yun handed the information to Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang glanced at it, and put it in his sleeve.
"There are many soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, and the soldiers are fierce. Ma Chao and Han Sui have been in turmoil for many years, and the court has not been able to calm down, and originally thought that Cao Cao would have to work hard for at least two or three years if he wanted to completely pacify Guanzhong. I didn't expect it to be so soon! Father Zhuge frowned, greatly distressed.
"Yes! Cao Jun made rapid progress this time. Ma Chao and Han Sui have all been defeated! Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan to be the general of the expedition to the west, responsible for continuing to pursue and annihilate the remnants of the Guanzhong army. I have already led the army back to Xudu! The southern expedition to Jingzhou is imminent! ”
"General Zilong, this matter is very important! You quickly send someone to find the lord and General Guan. At the same time, send fast horses to deliver the news to Xiangyang! Let Liu Jingzhou prepare early! ”
"Don't worry, the last general will do it!" Zhao Yun was ordered out of the camp.
Zhuge Liang took out the information just now and thought about it carefully. And took out the defense map of the Jingxiang area, frowning. He said to himself, "It seems that Xinye can't stay!" ”
Zhuge Liang was in the camp thinking about what to do next! Around noon, Liu Bei and Guan Yu rushed back! As soon as he entered the big tent, he saw Zhuge Liang studying the defense map.
When Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei and Guan Yu coming back, he hurriedly got up to greet him, "Lord, General Guan, you can be regarded as back!" ”
Liu Bei handed the cloak to the soldiers and motioned for everyone to sit. "What the hell is the matter with the military advisor? Call us back in such a hurry! ”
"Lord, see for yourself!" Zhuge Liang took out the silk silk with information written on it from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Bei. Ma Chao and Han Sui were defeated and fled west, and Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan to be responsible for chasing down the remnants of the defeated army for the general of Zhengxi. I led the army back to Xudu! Xu Du received an order and was making every effort to prepare weapons, armor, warships, and military rations for Cao's southern expedition. The southern expedition is imminent! ”
"Smack!" Liu Bei slapped the information on the table, "I didn't expect Ma Chao to be so useless!" Lost in less than 2 months! ”
"The Lord is angry! The armies in Guanzhong are not subordinate to each other, and the mountains are numerous, although there are many soldiers and horses, and the soldiers are brave, but it is a plate of scattered sand. The defeat of Ma Chao and Han Sui was expected. But I didn't expect it to be so soon! Zhuge Liang was also very depressed, things were unexpected by him, so he didn't expect it.
"Strategist, what do you think we should do next?"
"Let's go, the city of Xinye is low, the moat is too shallow, and the population is sparse, so you can't hold it! Cao Cao's southern expedition, Xinye bore the brunt. The first two times, Cao Cao suffered a big loss from us, but I was afraid that Jingzhou would take us first! ”
"Where are you going?"
"Fan Cheng!" Zhuge Liang got up and took out the defense map in the Jingxiang area and spread it in front of Liu Bei's desk, "Lord, look! Fancheng rejects Wanluo in the north, connects Jingxiang in the south, and the Han River passes through the city, the transportation is convenient, the city is solid, easy to defend and difficult to attack! And he is very close to Xiangyang City, if he occupies Fancheng and echoes Liu Biao in Xiangyang, the two cities will become corners! Jing Xiang can be saved! ”
"Well, it's feasible, but I'm afraid I have to talk to my brother first!" Liu Bei nodded in agreement.
"The lord is thoughtful!"
Liu Bei carefully observed the map again, and sighed, "Cao Jun hasn't come yet, so we ran away first!" What a wreck! Zhuge Liang heard Liu Bei's words and knew that Liu Bei was unwilling, afraid of being laughed at by the world, saying that he was afraid of Cao Jun, so he slapped his head and thought about it.
"Lord, why don't we fight him before we leave?" Zhuge Liang asked tentatively.
"Can you fight? What is the strategy of the strategist? As soon as Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang ask, he knew that he had an idea and hurriedly asked.
Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei so excited, and knew that Liu Bei really hoped to fight before leaving, so that his morale would be lost. took out a piece of silk, wrote four words on it, and handed it to Liu Bei. Liu Bei took it and took a look, but saw that it was written "Burning Xinye"! I was overjoyed.
After explaining what happened in the army, Father Zhuge returned home and found that the people were packing their luggage.
"Fugui, what are you doing here?" Father Zhuge dragged the servant to the rich and noble.
"Master, the little master said that the lord's army is about to be stationed in Fancheng, and told us to quickly pack up our things, saying that you ordered it!" Fugui answered honestly. Zhuge Liang was stunned, then relieved, shook the feather fan lightly, and laughed.
"This stinky boy is really getting more and more surprising! The children can be taught, and the children can be taught! Hahaha! "Zhuge Liang is having a silly time. Huang Wanzhen walked in and saw that Father Zhuge had returned, so she hurriedly greeted her, "Husband, you're back!" How are things going in the military? Zhan'er said that Cao Jun was going south, right? ”
"Yes! I just received the information. The battle in Guanzhong is over. Ma Chao and Han Sui were defeated and fled to the Liangzhou area. Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan to continue the pursuit for the general of Zhengxi, and he had already led the main force back to Xudu! ”
"That's really guessed by Zhan'er, we have to withdraw to Fancheng!"
"Yes! This kid's intelligence is beyond the ordinary, and it often amazes me! "Daddy Zhuge is complicated in his heart, I don't know whether it is sad or happy!
"Cao Cao pacified Guanzhong, and the north was basically pacified! Now that Cao Gong has millions of teachers and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, can we win this battle? Huang Wanzhen looked worried. Seeing this, Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand to hug Huang Wanzhen into his arms, stroked his back and comforted: "Silly girl, what is there to worry about!" Isn't there for me? Your husband can know astronomy and geography, and Zhuge Kongming, who knows the yin and yang of heaven and earth! What's not to over? Come, give the uncle a smile, or the uncle will give you a smile! Hahaha! ”
Mrs. Zhuge was amused by Zhuge Daddy's face flushed, and said coquettishly: "I hate it, when is it, and I am still laughing!" ”
In June of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, in 208 AD, Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, finally defeated Ma Chao and Han Sui after several months of fierce battles, and then ordered Xiahou Yuan to continue to pursue the remnants of the enemy as the general of the expedition to the west, and he led the main force back to Xudu and began to plan the southern expedition. In mid-July, after the courtiers' public discussion, the emperor approved, in order to completely sweep away the separatism of Liu Biao and Sun Quan in the south of the Yangtze River, it was decided to order Prime Minister Cao Cao to be the general of the southern expedition, and personally led 200,000 elite troops to the south to conquer Jingxiang and Wu Yue. The news soon spread to Xiangyang, and the important ministers of Xiangyang were shocked.
