Shi Xun went to Guangling a few days ago to visit Chen Deng, who was seriously ill, and when he came back, he relayed Chen Yuanlong's words and asked Cao Cao to send troops to pacify Wu Hui. So if you want to talk about cutting down Wu, Hongfu should have been a staunch supporter, but this time Cao Cao asked, but he said, "I'm afraid it can't be cut lightly." Cao Cao immediately pointed out: Speak directly.

Shi Xun glanced at Xun Yu and smiled slightly: "Gongda should know my intentions." ”

Xun You twisted his beard and nodded: "Hongfu is worried that Lu Bu and Liu Bei are coveting on the side, if the army marches south, I am afraid that they will be tied to each other?" He arched his hand towards Cao Cao: "First of all, the defense of Guanzhong, and then Kenan." ”

Who said that the north and the south must not be able to echo it? Cao Cao was going to fight Jiangdong, and even if Sun Quan did not send someone to ask Liu Bei for help, Liu Xuande might take the initiative to send troops to harass Cao Cao's flank. The big guy estimated that the possibility of Lu Bu moving troops was not very large, but he had to add the variable of Chen Gong, and as for Liu Bei, he would definitely take the opportunity to intervene.

Whether Lu Bu goes east or Liu Bei goes north, the target must be the Guanzhong region. If Lü Bu crosses the Yellow River and goes to Merge Prefecture, or Liu Bei follows the water and goes out of Sanba, the road is rugged and remote, the population is also very sparse, and the army is difficult to travel, at most a few thousand people will be used as a containment, it will be easy to deal with. However, if there is a large-scale offense in Guanzhong, or even a coalition of troops coming, the problem will be more troublesome.

Therefore, it is necessary to first take precautions in the middle of the pass, block them in the east and west, stop them, and carry them until the problem of Sun Wu is completely solved, and then turn around and clean them up.

Shi Xun said: "General Miaocai has blocked Longguan today, and Lu Bu can be prevented." However, from Hanzhong to the north beyond the South Mountain, it is not only a way, but also ......" at the moment with his fingers and calculated: "There is a meridian road in the east, pointing directly to Chang'an; Secondly, Fu Luo Road. As for martial arts; The third is the praise slope. As for Yi County; The westernmost Sanguan old road. and in Chencang. All must be built to prevent it, or Liu Bei can also be resisted. ”

For the geographical problem of Hanzhong Connectivity, it is Xun who is really familiar with it - without him, this is the various choices of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han in the future, and Cao Wei (you have to add the westernmost Qishan, but at this time, the north of Qishan is in the hands of Lu Bu), and the articles on Kongming's Northern Expedition in later generations are full of sweat and cows, and almost all of them have been thoroughly studied, how can Xun be a fan of the Three Kingdoms?

Jia Xu is a native of Kansai. He had been an official in Chang'an for many years, and he was also very familiar with the nearby geography, so he first affirmed Shi Xun's explanation, and then added: "The roads are dangerous and tortuous, and the army is not easy to walk. He will increase his troops and generals, and build fortifications with extensive labor, so that he can be safeguarded. ”

Shihoon nodded. Then a new question was raised: "General Miaocai is good at cavalry, galloping across the plains." There is no way forward, but to make it plugged, I am afraid it is not what I am good at. Besides......" pondered the words for a while, and then said: "General Miaocai is always the first soldier, if there is a fall, I am afraid that the heart of the army will be shaken." ”

Cao Cao said that the big guys are all their own people, so don't deliberately smear Xiahou Yuan with brilliance, what "is always the first soldier, if there is a fall", to put it bluntly, Miaocai uses soldiers too lightly, in vain, and not cautious enough, especially easy to be beheaded, I have persuaded him many times, but he just doesn't listen-"What can I do?" ”

It's Xun Xin who said that I mean that, but it's really inconvenient to say it directly. In the original history, Xiahou Yuan later folded on this "vain bravery", it cannot be said that he was brave and unstrategic, but he often charged forward, completely disregarding his own safety. As a result, in the battle of Dingjun Mountain, Liu Bei set fire to the antlers, Xiahou Yuan personally went into battle and rescued Zhang He, seeing that Zhang He couldn't bear it, he transferred his soldiers and horses to reinforcements one after another, and as a result, the troops around the main general were weak, and Huang Zhong beheaded him with a charge.

Cao Cao often admonished Xiahou Yuan: "When there is cowardice, you must not be brave." will be based on courage and wisdom; But knowing Ren Yong, a horse is an enemy. "It's not that Xiahou Yuan is a puppet, but that he will die at the hands of a puppet sooner or later - that guy's temper is the same as Sun Ce's, so the final outcome is just as bad.

Therefore, it was Xun Jian, and he had to send a few more relatively cautious generals to Xiahou Yuan. Cao Cao asked him if he had the right person in mind? Shi Xun stretched out his finger: "Zhang Junyi, Guo Boji can also." ”

Of course, relying on those two alone is definitely not enough - in the original historical battle of Hanzhong, Zhang He was Xiahou Yuan's deputy general, and Guo Huai was Xiahou Yuan's Sima, didn't he still let the main general cut it down? Therefore, there is one more heavyweight staff officer - "Sima Zhongda, Zhuge Kongming, choose one." ”

In the original history, those two attacked and defended, and they had been in Longshang for a long time, shaping an unprecedented brilliant record in military history. But there is no need to send them all over, give one, and you can be the enemy of Pang Shiyuan and Fa Xiaozhi.

Cao Cao groaned for a while and nodded: "Zhong Da Keye." "Sima Yi is currently the assassin of Youzhou, Zhuge Liang followed Cao Cao's expedition to Guanzhong, deeply respected, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was appointed as a free cavalry attendant, and was a subordinate official of Zhongshutai. Cao Cao's meaning is to send a scribe to Xiahou Yuan as a staff officer and take charge of the transportation of materials, then the most suitable thing is to let someone replace Zhao Hao as the assassin of Yongzhou. After all, Zhuge Liang is too young, his qualifications are too young, and his official position is not high enough, so it is impossible to be directly promoted to the history of a state assassin, and it is relatively acceptable to transfer Sima Yi from Youzhou.

The Yongzhou side made this deployment, and the Jingzhou side made Xu Huangtun stationed in Jiangbei and Yu Bantun stationed in Jiangnan, on the one hand, to monitor Liu Biao, who was huddled in Jiangling, and on the other hand, to serve as a reserve for the expedition to Wu. Cao Cao planned to raise 80,000 troops, and Xuzhou Chen Jiao and Luzhou Tai Shici to attack Jiangdong together, and at the same time ordered Lu Su to lead the Lujiang naval division down the river to contain the Jiangdong naval army, and sent Wei Yan to lead the Youzhou sea ships south to Guangling to harass Wu and Hui along the coast again.

Wei Wenchang...... Since Wen Sheng was excavated from the countryside by Shi Xun, he sent him to Tai Shi Ci in accordance with his own wishes to receive guidance and listen to teachings. Over the years, Taishi Ziyi has been stationed in Jiujiang with Wei Wensheng to prevent Sun Wu, there are often small battles, and there are few big battles, so Xiao Wei has not made any great achievements, and he is purely rising step by step. It is estimated that the future history will write his biography, and the beginning will only be a few words:

"Wei Yan, since Wensheng, Yiyang is also a person. It is Xun envoy Jingzhou, passing Yiyang, the delay is not crowned, and he goes to the night to confess, Xun Qizhi (the so-called "for the Venerable", I will never record the little guy being forced to come over and sell his ass), recommended to Tai Shici. Ci Muyan is a disciple, so that he is like an arm ......" at most, plus Cao Cao personally set the word "Wensheng" for Wei Yan.

However, because Wei Yan has been following Tai Shici in Jiangbei, compared to the vast majority of Cao Ying's generals, he has some experience in water warfare, so when Xun left Youzhou, Cao Cao sent Wei Yan north to take charge of the navy. This time, if you accompany Cao Cao on the southern expedition, you will have the opportunity to make a great contribution, Shi Xun couldn't help but open his mind, and said in his heart, Could it be that Wei Yan, who was originally good at foot combat, will be set as A-level or even S-level in water warfare in the game in the future?

At this point, Chen Qun suddenly spoke: "Before the minister heard this, he led the state division to scratch Wu Hui, and Sun Quan also followed suit, collected sea ships in Huiji, built a new army, and appointed Dong Xi as his governor. Now Wei Wensheng will go south to the Youzhou Navy, can there be a winning strategy? "Sun Quan also has a navy now, and if he wants to harass Wu Hui along the coast, it is probably not so easy, right?

In fact, in this military meeting, it was not Chen Qun's turn to participate, but just after discussing the Jiupin Zhongzheng system earlier, Cao Cao did not propose to clear the field, so Chen Changwen continued to listen to the side. Since he was listening and thinking of some questions, Chen Qun was not a person who liked to hide and tuck, so he immediately raised it to Cao Cao.

But before his voice fell, Shi Xun and Jia Xu almost said in unison: "But don't worry!" Then the two of them were slightly stunned, and then looked at each other and smiled.

Although Shixun was smiling on his face, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and cold sweat was faintly breaking out on his back. It is impossible for Chen Qun to know some of the inside information about Jiangdong, and Jia Xu is engaged in intelligence work, so he must know it in his heart, and his private intelligence network is not necessarily weaker than Jia Wenhe. The problem is in this matter, and it can be explained that Chen Deng and the old officials of Youzhou revealed it to him - it is estimated that Jia Xu also thinks so, otherwise he will not smile at him - if he encounters similar incidents in the future, if he is so unguarded, and Cao Cao sees the clues, it will definitely cause a big disaster!

It's Hongsuke, it's Hongsuke, you can be cautious!

Sure enough, this time, not only Jia Xu was not suspicious, but Cao Cao didn't go to his heart, but just waved his hand at Chen Qun: "What the long article said is reasonable, and it is only known." Chen Qun looked at Jia Xu, and then looked at Shi Xun: You have a plan in your heart, that's great, when I didn't say it.

Because it was necessary to first dispatch soldiers and horses to strengthen the defense of Guanzhong, the date of the southern expedition was tentatively set after the autumn harvest of this year. The meeting was not over—discussing such a large military operation, and as a result, it took less time than to consider the Nine Rank Officials' Law—Cao Cao returned to the mansion first, and the rest of the people dispersed one after another. Shi Xun and Liu Ye each returned to the official hall to deal with daily affairs.

As a result, not long after An sat down, a small official suddenly came to report: "Therefore, Chen Gong, the assassin of Xuzhou, died seven days ago!" When Shixun heard this, although he was expected and mentally prepared, he couldn't help but shout: "Ahhh Sorry Yuanlong, painful Yuanlong! ”

After Cao Cao received the letter, he was also very sentimental, that is, he instructed Cao De, Xi Xi, Hua Xin and others in Xu Du to play the Son of Heaven, posthumously presented Chen Deng as the Marquis of Shaofu and Gaoyang Pavilion, and allowed his eldest son Chen Su to attack the lord. It was Xun who also mediated and made Chen Su Shiwei Langzhong, asking him to simply take his wife and brothers to move to Anyi, and it would be convenient for me to take care of them nearby, right?

However, in the spring and summer of this year, Chen Deng was not the only heavyweight who died...... (To be continued......) R1292
