Chapter 2, the deployment of Guanzhong
In the original history, after Liu Bei entered Yizhou, the most trusted advisers around him were Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang - Pang Tong had already been killed by an arrow during the attack on Yucheng. In the romance, it is said that Liu Bei is like a fish in water, and he is obedient to him, in fact, in real history, it is more appropriate to replace Zhuge Kongming with Fa Xiaozhi.
He is not only one of Liu Bei's main staff officers, but also served as the Taishou of Shu County, and mastered the administrative power of the capital region (Shu County). However, although Fa Xiaozhi is a rare wise and resourceful person in the world, he has some villain temperament, and he will repay him, and as soon as he takes power, he begins to retaliate against those who have offended him, and even kills him in violation of the law. So someone went to ask Liu Bei's second favorite minister, Zhuge Liang, and said that you go and talk to the lord and warn Fa Zheng, for the sake of stability in Shuzhong, you have to let him restrain a little.
So how did Zhuge Liang answer? Zhuge Liang said: "The lord is also in the public security, the north is afraid of Cao Gong's strength, the east is afraid of Sun Quan's pressure, and the near is afraid that Mrs. Sun will change under her elbows. The law of filial piety is directly auxiliary wings, so that it soars and cannot be copied. How can the Fa Zheng be forbidden to do his evil intentions? ”
Later generations commented: "Fu Weifu from below, the way to harm the country, the punishment is favored, the source of destroying the government and chaos, An can be a meritorious hero and extremely unbridled, and he is fortunate to use his national authority?" Therefore, although he is diligent, he will inevitably be punished for disobeying his orders, although Yang Gan is pro, he still kills indiscriminately, how can his husband not love him, and Wang Xian is also. Zhuge Shi's words were then punished for dereliction of government. "The main meaning is that Zhuge Liang is unwilling to obey the law, and you are unwilling to admonish, this thing is not right.
In fact, Zhuge Kongming advocated the use of heavy codes to control chaos. It also advocates the spirit of system building and the legal system (of course. The so-called spirit of the legal system in the feudal era. It is not the same as the spirit of the modern legal system), doesn't he know that the behavior of the law is not only illegal, but also harmful to the country, and must be curbed? It's not that he doesn't want to admonish, but he knows that Liu Bei trusts the law very deeply, and even if he admonishes, it will be ineffective at all.
Zhuge Liang is very politically wise. Don't look at his youth, he compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, he was quite crazy, and he took over the power when he was old. He is not at ease with anyone, but in terms of getting along with his superiors and subordinates and colleagues, he has always been modest and respectful, and he has not lost his demeanor. Cheng Pu once praised Zhou Yu: "If you have sex with Zhou Gongjin, if you drink mellow mash, you won't feel drunk." In fact, this is just as appropriate for Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang was very good at handling interpersonal relationships, and he tried to unite the interests of various groups in Yizhou, twist them into a rope, and support his Northern Expedition. Of course. Zhuge Liang is not a good gentleman, and it is not that he has conspired to attack his colleagues who are harmful to Liu Bei's group. For example, Liu Feng, Peng Yi and so on. But on the one hand, those favorites are declining, and Kong Ming has to take advantage of the situation, and on the other hand, he is also Liu Bei, who is a secret player, and he will never be a villain in person.
Therefore, in the face of Fazheng's arrogance, Zhuge Liang knew that his favor was in trouble, and he couldn't get a good result from admonishment, so he simply didn't touch the nail. As for whether he was waiting and looking for an opportunity, and then he would do it when the time was ripe, Fa Zheng died early and failed to catch up with Kong Ming's heavy punch.
But in this timeline, Zhuge Liang was fished away by Shi Xun, and Liu Bei's mastermind became Fa Zheng and Pang Tong, who survived death. Although Pang Shiyuan is known as Zhuge Kongming in Jingzhou, only a few words contained in the history books show that he has quite a big flaw in his body, which Zhuge Liang does not have - for example, Leiyang is not cured, so as to see his arrogance and carelessness; Ask Liu Bei to capture Liu Zhang during the banquet to see his impatience. So Shi Xun thinks that with him in Shudi, maybe he will have something unpleasant with Fa Zheng?
Although history has changed, people's personalities are not so easy to change, Fa Zheng is still arrogant and lawless, and there is no need to spy and reconnoitre, you can know it - Liu Bei's foundation before entering Shu is even more unstable than in the original history, and the shape is even worse than in the original history, so after getting the Fa Zheng to determine Yizhou, his gratitude is naturally even greater, and his favor to the Fa Zheng is bound to be deeper, and the state of Fa Xiao's upright and upright can only become more strict.
And Liu Beizhi does not suppress Fazheng, there is another layer to consider - Liu Xuande is a generation of heroes, how can he not know that Fazheng is digging his own corner by doing so? It's just that he entered Yizhou and wants to get the help of Dongzhou Shi, so he is deliberately tolerant of the representative of the Dongzhou Shi Leading the Way Party, and wants to have the effect of buying horse bones.
Shi Xun estimates that Fa Zheng's temperament will not change, and so will Pang Tong, he may not be able to take care of the overall situation like Zhuge Liang. And history has changed, Liu Bei's time to enter Shu has been advanced, even if Fazheng's longevity remains unchanged, it will be longer than in the original history, with Pang Tong (Zhuge Liang) and others. Liu Bei's regime can tolerate Fa Xiaozhi's reckless behavior for a year or two, can it tolerate it for a longer time?
If it can be guided by the situation, it will cause a conflict between Fazheng and Pang Tong, and then between Jingzhou Shi and Dongzhou Shi, or it may be able to achieve miraculous results - just like the original history of Yuan Shao's camp to punish Xu You's family, and directly led Xu You's pre-battle to Cao.
Of course, this qiē is all based on guessing, and even Shixun himself didn't expect it, and his guess was really accurate...... But no matter how good the plan is, it needs people to execute, if Hongfu's eight-character mantra is accurate, it means that he is a person who has insight into people's hearts, if it is not accurate, it will be determined that the front-line strategists are not implemented effectively, and Cao Cao will not blame him for this.
has always been ingenious, often so, not afraid of your mouth, afraid of letting you carry it out yourself......
Liu Bei's visit to Long, and Zhuge Liang in the original history of Qishan, the situation is very different - although they are the first northern expedition of the Yizhou regime, in the original history, Liu Bei did not go north after winning Hanzhong (only sent Ma Chao, Zhang Fei and others to take Wudu, Yinping, which is the aftermath of the battle of Hanzhong), and soon after that, he was busy heartache about the death of Guan Yu and the loss of Jingzhou, and then he was busy calling the emperor, and then went to fight Eastern Wu, and then was defeated and died.
The first difference is that Liangzhou is not under the rule of Cao Wei, but belongs to Lü Bu, although it is not a strong ally, it can also be used as a user, and in this regard, the situation is better than that of Kong Ming as soon as he came out of Qishan. The next difference, that is, Cao Wei had already begun to consolidate the defense of the Western Front, and the actual troops in Guanzhong were completely different from the "slightly unprepared" of Shu Han in the Cao Pi era in the original history, which was its disadvantage to Liu Bei's group.
So how did the Cao clan get into the battle?
The Guanzhong Plain, or the "Weihe Basin", is between the Qinling Mountains and the Beishan Mountains, long and narrow from east to west, known as the "country of four stops", easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the initial plan of the Cao Wei group is to divide the troops and block the pass. There is Longguan in the east to prevent Lu Bu; In the south, according to the analysis of Yes Xun, Guchencang is used to seal the old road of Sanguan, Guyi County is used to seal the Baochuan Road, Guwu is used to seal the Fu Luo Road, and Guhu County is used to seal the meridian road.
Anyi's group of strategists guessed the direction in which Lü Bu might send troops if he invaded Guanzhong, and came to the conclusion that he must go east from Longguan, and this was the only way; If you follow the north mountain to the south, the road is far and dangerous, and there will be nothing to worry about.
So where will Liu Bei come from? If Lu Bu refuses to borrow the road, then Liu Bei will come out from the Qinling Mountains, and there are four roads to go from Sanguan to Ziwu. But these roads are also dangerous and narrow, it is difficult to break through the pass if there are fewer soldiers, and if there are more soldiers, there will inevitably be no food and grass - Zhuge Liang in the original history diligently repaired the plank road, and invented the wooden ox and flowing horse, and also returned to the grain and retreated from the army, and Liu Beiye at this moment?
I think that Han Xin was able to enter the customs from the Han Dynasty back then, relying on "famous plank road and secret crossing of Chen Cang", playing a trick gun to confuse the King of Sanqin, which can basically be regarded as a sneak attack. However, if the Guanzhong area has been prepared for a long time and arranged in advance, if it wants to go north beyond the Qinling Mountains, the difficulty coefficient is quite large. Zhuge Liang has fought several Northern Expeditions, it can be said that he fought better than the other, and the Shu soldiers have repeatedly fought in battle, and the experience value is swishing upward, but even so, as long as Cao Wei is prepared in advance and strictly guarded, he is so anxious that he can't vomit blood.
If Lü Bu and Liu Bei did not join forces, it could be said that there was little threat to Cao Wei's Guanzhong region.
But what if they join forces? Liu Bei will definitely go north to Liangzhou with the main force and take advantage of the road - then you can get Liangzhou to provide grain, or at least help each other to protect the grain road, isn't it more stable than interspersing from the mountains and mountains? The allied forces of the two states, ranging from 50,000 to 60,000 or nearly 100,000, will inevitably be in danger of the Longguan defense line.
Longguan is also known as the Great Earthquake Pass, it is said that Emperor Wu toured Liangzhou in the first two years, when he returned to Guanzhong, he encountered thunder after this, so it got its name. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang rebellion was frequent, especially Ma Teng and Han Sui took advantage of the turmoil in the Central Plains to break through the Longguan Pass several times and ravaged the Guanzhong, so the wall of the pass was broken, and the defense system was almost flattened, and it was not a year or two to recover. This is also the reason why Xiahou Yuan refused to listen to Guo Huai's words and defend it firmly, instead of going out of the pass to kill for a while - if he can't defeat the enemy first, this level is really difficult to hold.
It's a pity that the enemy is outnumbered, no matter how brave and good General Miaocai is, after all, the opposite side is not a soft persimmon, and he was defeated in a battle, and after returning to Guancheng, he hurriedly sent people to Anyi to ask for instructions - let's implement the second set of plans.
The so-called second set of plans is to assume that if Lu and Liu join forces and make Longguan difficult to defend, what should they do? Cao Ying's strategists tailored a set of strategies for Xiahou Yuan in sports warfare, that is, to temporarily abandon Longguan and retreat to the Guanzhong Plain, on the one hand, stick to various strategic points and resist the enemy step by step, and on the other hand, release Xiahou Miaocai's main cavalry, seeking to thwart the enemy's fighters in the movement.
According to the calculation in advance, if Liu Bei detoured the main force from Liangzhou and attacked from the west, and at the same time he might also send his farewell army north along the Qinling Mountains, thinking that it would echo, then the most likely way to take the old road of Sanguan or the road of Bao Chuan - if he took Fu Luo or Ziwu, the distance was too far away, and it would not be echoed at all. Therefore, Xiahou Yuan made Zhang He guard Chencang and Su Ze guard Yixian, sealing these two roads.
Once the Longguan could not be defended, Xiahou Yuan retreated into the pass, first used three lines of defense to frustrate the enemy's edge, respectively set up in Wangxian, Yumok, and between Yuelk and Yongxian. And once these three lines of defense are lost and killed by the enemy army under the city of Yongxian, it is equivalent to officially entering the Guanzhong Plain, then it will fall into a triangular position that has been laid out in advance, and it may be attacked by the flanks at any time......
