Chapter 443: Determined to Rebel (Part 3)

Zhuge Liang is not powerful in using troops to deploy the formation, Yan Xing does not know the way, Zhuge Liang is not deep in his calculations, Yan Xing does not know the way, but now he only knows that this person named Kong Ming has a great analysis of human nature and a keen intuition about politics!

If it is a single round, Zhuge Liang can indeed be called the first person in the world.

Seeing Yan Xing's uncertain gaze, Meng Jian couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and he couldn't help but admire Kong Ming a little more in his heart.

In fact, when Kong Ming said this to him, Meng Jian himself didn't believe it, but there was no way, now this situation can only say these things, otherwise the plan he and Zhuge Liang set will not be realized at all.

"General Yan, there is no need to be too surprised, now the close minister who is assisting the Son of Heaven in Luoyang is Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi, this person is also our best friend, Kong Ming understands his style of acting, so he has this guess...... Dare to ask the general, I don't know what the envoy of the Son of Heaven talked to you, but what did he say? ”

Yan Xing's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he was silent for a long time.

Meng Jian shook his head and sighed: "General Yan, it's still the same sentence, I came here to help you seize Guanzhong, if you and I are open and honest, then great things will be done, if you still have selfish intentions towards me, then there is no need for us to cooperate at all, you either kill me or let me go back, don't let me delay time here!" ”

Yan Xing trembled, gritted his teeth and thought about it for a long time, it didn't hurt to tell him the truth secretly, after finishing speaking, listen to his opinion, if it doesn't work, kill this Meng Jian again, I have seen the matter of the messenger of the Son of Heaven not be revealed, and the gods do not know it!

Thinking of this, Yan Xing finally said in a low voice: "Jin Yi, the messenger of the Son of Heaven, once went to Jincheng to find me, intending to surrender, and said that the Son of Heaven wants to unite the seven surnamed Yi Wang, Du Hao, the leader of the people, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, and Song Jian, the king of Heshou, plus the army of the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, to send troops to five routes. Let's gather in Guanzhong! ”

When Meng Jian heard this, he nodded and said, "General Yan, this is really a godsend and I wish you to seize the two states of Yongliang!" How did you reply to the invitation of the Son of Heaven? ”

Yan Xing's face turned red, and he snorted: "I didn't reply or refuse, I arrested him!" ”

Meng Jian couldn't help but be happy when he heard this: "Just catch it, just catch it, just don't let outsiders know about it...... General Yan, if you really want to capture Guanzhong, you might as well listen to me and agree to the invitation of the Son of Heaven. Become the Sixth Army! ”

Yan Xing shook his head when he heard this: "If this is the case, then I will not become the dog of the Son of Heaven, and what does it have to do with me if I take Guanzhong?" ”

Meng Jian shook his head and said, "General, what you said is a little unwise, is it also to be loyal to the emperor when the soldiers and horses of the four roads promised the Son of Heaven to send troops?" I'm afraid not. Others don't say it, just say that Song Jian, who was divided into Huhan, claimed to be the king of Heshou Ping Han. is so rebellious, could it be that he suddenly changed his temperament and defended the royal family? They are just using an excuse to send troops to Yongliang and take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie! Xu Shu also understands the truth of this. He just wanted to use these soldiers and horses to disrupt Guanzhong, and then take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. It's just for the Son of Heaven to take a part of the territory in Guanzhong! ”

Yan Xing suddenly thought for a while, and then said, "I promised the Son of Heaven, and then what should I do?" ”

Meng Jian said in a low voice: "I have already planned a plan for the general to seize Guanzhong: General Yan can first promise the Son of Heaven, take advantage of the power of these soldiers and horses, defeat the main force led by Zhao Yun, Yongzhou main force soldiers and horses are destroyed, then Guanzhong will be chaotic, all the troops and horses have risen, seize Guanzhong, General Yan sits in Jincheng, first find a way to accommodate the soldiers and horses of Longxi, Hanyang, Wudu, Anding, Nan'an, and the soldiers of these six counties, and first sweep away the people and horses of all parties Standing in Xiliangshi and occupy Liangzhou!" ”

Yan Xing frowned when he heard this, and said: "I am the Taishou of Jincheng, and there is no problem for the soldiers and horses of this county to be under my command, but the soldiers and horses of the other five counties may not be able to listen to my dispatch......

Meng Jian said with a smile: "This, I'm afraid it will depend on the general himself, Meng Jian doesn't believe that General Yan has been in Liangzhou for so many years, and he will not have any foundation, that is to say, he will not be able to use the means to collect soldiers and horses?" If the general can't even do this, there is no need to talk about the matter of taking the pass, you still live honestly under Zhao Yun, trembling and conscientious. ”

When Yan Xing heard this, he couldn't help frowning and thinking, and after thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He remembered the last time he was in Jincheng, he talked to himself about the heroes of the world! And there is a deep meaning hidden in his words.

Yan Xing clenched his fists and nodded: "I have a way to collect the soldiers and horses of the six counties, but even so, if I want to occupy Liangzhou, I still lack troops and prestige, and I don't care about other forces, then the anti-king Song Jian has 100,000 troops, and his strength is not bad, and it is not easy to fight with him." ”

Meng Jian said with a smile: "In terms of troops, I can solve it, the border of Liangzhou, the Qiang and Han people live together, although the Qiang people are under the rule of my Han Dynasty, but since Emperor Wu established the four counties in the west of the river, it has been fighting repeatedly, in recent years in the Xiliang border, only Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Ma Chao, and the general five, now Dong Zhuo Han Sui is dead, Ma Teng and Ma Chao are far away, the leaders of the Xiqiang tribes, disobey the officials of the counties, only serve the general, if the general can control the soldiers and horses of the six counties, and then promise to equal benefits, It is not difficult to pick up Xiqiang, please ask Xiqiang for help when the time comes, Song Jian's soldiers and horses are not the opponent of the general! ”

Yan Xing's face was full of red light when he heard this, and he said: "If you use this method, you may be able to occupy Liangzhou, but the land of Yongzhou is controlled by the soldiers and horses of the Yuan army, and there are also those small town princes who have attached Zhao Yun, I have no prestige with them, they will not follow me, I want to seize Yongzhou, there are many obstacles, I am afraid that it will not be so easy......"

Meng Jian smiled and said, "I have a plan to help the general pacify Yongzhou, please come over with your ear ......"

Yan Xing hurriedly listened to Meng Jian's strategy, and after listening to it, his face was cloudy.

"This ...... This strategy ...... Is it feasible? ”

Meng Jiandao: "Is there anything that can't be done?" ”

Yan Xing's Adam's apple moved, he looked at Meng Jian speechless for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "What a Meng Gongwei who dares to think and do!" You are still like this, I don't know how Kong Ming compares to you? ”

Meng Jian thought for a while and said: "I am friends with Kong Ming, and I have never fought head-on, but my teacher once said that the ability of me, Cui Jun, Shi Tao, and Xu Shu is not Kong Ming's opponent...... Of course, I'm not convinced by this at all. ”

Rao was a little frightened at the moment with Yan Xing's profundity.

If this is the case, then Kong Ming must be such a powerful character!

Yan Xing shook his head hard, drove away the uneasiness in his heart, thought about it and said: "Mr. Meng, your suitable plan and plan are not bad and admirable, but I want to ask Mr. one thing, even if it is the Son of Heaven, Song Jian, Zhang Lu, the seven surnamed Yi Wang, Du Hao, these people have all been cleaned up by me, and they can't compete with me, the lord ...... What should Yuan Shang do there? ”

To be honest, Yan Xing was not afraid of Zhao Yun, nor was he afraid of any power around him in this level, he believed that once he gained power, none of these people would be his opponents.

However, there was only one person he didn't dare to confront head-on, and that person was Yuan Shang.

Once upon a time, Yan Xing had carefully studied all the battles after Yuan Shang's self-military crossing, including his tactics, strategies, and strategies.

From the lone army entering Cao Cao's rear after the Guandu War, to the Battle of Cangting and using Zhang Yan to defeat Cao's army, and then to Cao's Northern Expedition, he calculated and used Cao Zhen to calculate Yuan Tan and Xin Ping, and then united with Cao Cao to defeat the Xianbei Xiongnu, threaded the needle and killed the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, and then won the battle of Guanzhong to win Cao Cao......

In the end, I came to the conclusion that it was too terrible to be an enemy of Yuan Shang!

He sits on the four states of Hebei, and the number of soldiers and generals is secondary, mainly because Yuan Shang is smart, cunning, whimsical, eclectic, and untraceable, especially his shameless and vicious methods......

Yan Xing didn't think he was Yuan Shang's opponent.

Meng Jian nodded and said, "What the general is extremely worried about is that Yuan Shang is indeed terrifying!" But in terms of the current situation, although Yuan's army is numerous, as long as the general can act according to the plan and occupy Yongliang, he may not be able to do anything to the general. ”

Yan Xing hurriedly said: "What do you mean by this, sir?" Please also elaborate. ”

Meng Jianqing cleared his throat and analyzed for Yan Xing: "General Yan, I'll settle an account for you, after Yuan Shang took over the throne, in order to stabilize the people's livelihood, only the elites of the various departments were left, and the rest of the soldiers slowly retired from the army and returned to farming, enriching domestic demand, and now the soldiers and horses in the four states of Hebei are about 400,000, and the 400,000 troops have been dispatched from time to time in the past two years, and the system is very different from the original, among them, Liyang and the Yellow River border passes have a total of 80,000 troops, and the main force of the Cao army such as Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, and Cao Zhang in Zhongzhou is 30,000 troops to deter Xuzhou, Yuan Xi of Youzhou has 40,000 standing troops under his name to consolidate the border fortress, and Tian Yu has 50,000 soldiers and horses under the name of Liaodong, which is used to deter Tatun and Tuoba Liwei, so that Wuhuan and Suotou will compete in the west, open up the desert and be willing to drive it, plus there are about tens of thousands of defenders in the scattered passes of the four states of Hebei, each guarding its city! Generally, it will not be easily mobilized, even if it is dispatched, it will not be able to catch up for a while, and it will not be able to rescue at all...... However, the most worrying person in Yuan Shangjun's army is the Chinese army in Jizhou, these soldiers will be controlled by Yuan Shang himself, including the Wuji Battalion, the Xiandeng Army, the Gray Frost Battalion, the Ma Jia Iron Cavalry and other elite troops, with no less than 1230,000 people, the army is neat, and it is difficult to resist when idle, Yuan Shang defeated Cao Cao by relying on this army! If this army comes south, we will be defeated! It's just that General Tianzhu, at present, the Yuan army is starting to move the government affairs of the Hu nomads in the north, hundreds of thousands of households under the rule of the Xianbei Three Kings and the Southern Xiongnu, and the relocation is monitored and controlled by Yuan Shang's Chinese army. From this point of view, if Yuan Shang wants to rescue Guanzhong, he can only use 60,000 military horses under the command of the senior cadres of Bingzhou, and some of them must be used to deter Qianli Taihang, so once something happens in Guanzhong, Yuan Shang can only use 40,000 troops at most in a hurry! Let me ask the general, 40,000 horses, why are you afraid? ”
