Chapter 30, buy people's hearts

When the fish returned to the city, Gan Ning wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by Wang Ping who quickly grabbed his arm. Wang Ping said: "The general should not blame himself even more, this is not a crime of war......"

Originally, our forces were quite limited, and the number of enemy troops was more than five times that of our side, so it would be quite difficult to hold Yufu firmly. Coupled with the civil strife in Shuzhong, it was impossible to send a single soldier to come to the rescue, and the enemy army played new tricks, resulting in low morale in the city...... It's really not that I deliberately made excuses for myself - "Even if Sun and Wu are resurrected, they can't get it all!" ”

Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and if you encounter a battle that is bound to be lost, you want to wipe your neck, which is not good for the country at all-"Badi is very wide, you can deal with the Wei people, even if you are defeated again, you can also return to Chengdu to help protect each other." The general swallowed the shame and gave up his death for the country? ”

Wang Pinghao said bad things, and finally persuaded Gan Ning to put down the knife, and then the two generals gathered the remnants, protruded from the west gate, and walked along the river. Walking not far away, I suddenly heard a drum sound, and a team came out of the roadside, and the first horizontal knife shouted: "Gan Ning is leaving, Lujiang Ding Feng is here!" ”

It turned out that Lu Su had already sent ships to transport Ding Feng and others to bypass Yufu, and specially sought a narrow place to ambush troops to wait for the defeat of the Western Shu army. Gan Xingba was shocked and angry, raised his knife and shouted: "I have never heard of such a general in the past, but now when I encounter a setback, I will be bullied!" If you die here, you will become famous! "Personally lead the remnants of the army and rush forward.

After a fierce battle, he was finally besieged by Gan Ning and Wang Ping, and fled to Quren County in the west, while the Shu general Lou Fa was Ding Feng's blade, and the other general Zhan Yan knelt on the ground and asked to surrender.

The Wei army did not stop at Yufu for more, so they advanced by land and water, and went straight to the endure. Gan Ning is undefeated. This defeat can no longer be stopped. From Quren, Linjiang, Pingdu, Tongxian and other places. walked all the way along the river, until he ran to Bajun County to govern Jiangzhou, and he barely gained a foothold. Sima Yi immediately turned around from the west of Quren County, followed the small road to the west and pointed to the ditch, and only sent Su Fei to lead 7,000 soldiers and horses with the Lusu water army to continue to pursue the defeated troops of Xishu.

When I arrived at the ditch, I saw the banner of the Wei family erected at the head of the city from a distance.

It turned out that in order to respond to the westward advance of the Jingzhou army, Xun specially ordered Xu Huang to lead an army of 3,000 from the southern countryside. Try to attack Xuanhan - since Wang Ping could have come here in the past, we should be able to pass here as well. At this time, the garrison of Xuanhan, Danqu and other counties was the Brazilian Taishou Huang Yuan, Su and Gan Ning were not in harmony, and they had the intention of surrendering quickly when they saw that things were not good. So he didn't dare to defend the city. Open the door directly, and please surrender yourself.

Xu Huang entered Xuanhan and Danqu counties in advance. However, he did not have enough troops under his command, so he did not dare to continue to advance to the west. Just the next day, Sima Yi led a large army to arrive, so he killed Anhan from the ditch, easily captured the city, and then went up against the water of the Western Han Dynasty to take Langzhong. As long as you win Langzhong, there is Jiameng Pass in front......

This 1,500-mile long march, although Sima Yi fought very cautiously all the way, the speed of the march was really not slow, and it only took seventeen days from capturing Yufu to driving to Langzhong. Over there, Xun has been confronting Liu Feng under Jia Meng Pass for a month.

It is Hongfu who is famous all over the world, and the outside legend is always more and more evil, saying that he knows astronomy, geography, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knows everything, and he can read everything in the subset of history, and he can read everything in military books and war strategies...... Oh, second only to when the son is also today. Fortunately, Shi Xun himself was not carried away by these ignorant theories, he knew how many catties and taels he had, if there was a simulation game of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty two thousand years later, it is estimated that his intelligence and politics can be set quite high, and there must be characteristics such as "arguments", as for the equivalent of domination and force, it would be quite satisfying to be able to pass.

The reason why he was able to get a Yiren from Lelang Countryside ...... Well, it is still counted from the time he enters the family, but he is just a rural Confucian, and he can traverse the troubled times, change the course of history, and become a Confucian sect and an important minister of the country. What really made him rise was to have the knowledge accumulated in later generations for 2,000 years, the most important thing was to familiarize himself with historical books such as "Three Kingdoms", and secondly, to become an in-law of the Cao family by chance. If he really relied on his personal ability and wanted to fight with the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, it would definitely be a hundred deaths.

The ancients had limited vision and a wide range of knowledge, but when it came to wisdom, they were not necessarily worse than later generations -- of course, due to the limitations of the social environment of these years, the vast majority of fools could not be compared with later generations. However, if you are in the group of scholars and doctors and want to drill into the circle of the ruling class, if you have no posterity accumulation, the most important thing is to know the resumes of famous figures in history, and you can perceive their minds to a certain extent.

Especially when he traveled to the end of the Later Han Dynasty, where there were many heroes, he had a lot of reverence for many historical figures in his previous life, and even if he was on top of them now, he didn't dare to despise them at will. You really threw him into an unfamiliar era, nine out of nine he couldn't get ahead, and if he came out, he might also be carried away by success, thinking that he was the best in the sky - in this era, he really didn't dare to think so.

Besides, he has a specialization in the art industry, and he has a certain endowment in literature, and then relies on plagiarizing the poetry and academic ideas of later generations, and has made a certain name, and has accumulated for many years. But in terms of military affairs, even if they have read a few more military books than all the military experts of this era, they dare not boast of knowing soldiers -- talking about soldiers on paper, talking like a river, making decisions on the battlefield, and being at a loss.

Therefore, he honestly handed over all the daily military affairs to Cao Zhen and Fu Zhu and others, and he only sat in the treasure account of the Chinese army and handled some clerical affairs - he simply demoted his position from the commander of the army to the ordinary superintendent of the army. But there are not so many paperwork that need to be dealt with in the army - you can't co-author, you can't let the Tai Lieutenant count some money and food, and the military orders issued to a certain Qu and a certain tun on a daily basis shouldn't be drafted by the Tai Lieutenant, right? Yeshun stayed in the tent, but felt extremely bored. wants to set up a banquet and drink, and even spread women's music to entertain themselves, but I am afraid that it will shake the morale of the army......

Later, let's go to the camp. So every day, he went around in the middle and rear camps - he didn't go to the front camp, for fear that the Shu army would attack and the arrows were flying, and he unexpectedly asked for the life of the commander of his army...... It is Xun Bei has a benefit, which the vast majority of scholars and doctors do not have in these years, that is, he is not despised, poor and lowly, even if it is just an ordinary Sichuan folk who transports grain, he can talk with him without any arrogance. In these years, ordinary people are still very simple - in fact, they are stupid enough - and they are all grateful to see that such a big official can turn it in. Most of the soldiers patted their chests and promised that they were willing to die for the captain; The common people said: "If there is a Taiwei who has come to govern Shu, it will definitely be small and big." ”

Is Xun Xin saying don't talk about it, I'm a dignified captain to govern Yishu? You're cursing me, aren't you? But there was no dissatisfaction in his expression, and he was still smiling kindly.

Cao Zhen once privately persuaded Shixun and said: "The captain is valuable, and it is not appropriate to speak with the cheap servants, I am afraid of **." Shi Xun replied to him with a smile: "What is the so-called cheap servant?" Henkel is just a pavilion with long ears, and the ministers of the Xinghan Dynasty have many dogs and slaughterers, so they can rise up from time to time. Besides, all of them are the people of my Great Wei, the officials do not love the people, the people do not attach themselves, and if the officials care for them, the country will naturally be safe. ”

Frustration also advised, but it was another set of words: "The Taiwei was ordered to cut down Shu, holding heavy troops, and this place of suspicion is more with the villagers, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of love to buy people's hearts, so I must guard against it." Shi Xun nodded, saying that you are worried for a reason, and then shook his head again: "I am now for the country to collect the hearts of the Shu people, not for personal gain, and the Son of Heaven is sage, not confused by others, how can I be suspicious?" ”

In fact, he also knew in his heart that Cao Cao was seriously suspicious, and if he really accidentally stepped on the line, he didn't know what the old man would think in his heart. But first, he felt that he was only wandering around the camp, and the absolute number of people he came into contact with was not very large, so there should be no major incident; Besides, what can he do if he doesn't do this? Do you want to go back to the main camp and sleep well?

Who knows how many more days of sleep? In what lifetime will the Jingzhou army be able to break through Yufu and come to attack Liu Feng back and forth with him! Although he didn't manage much military affairs, Cao Zhen had to report to him every day on the situation in the army, and it was estimated that in another month at most, the grain transportation would begin to be stretched. It was Xun Xin who said that there was no detail in the history books, I don't know how long Zhong Hui was stopped in the Sword Pavilion later, so I have to stay longer than him Zhong Shiji. Among the celebrities in the middle and late Three Kingdoms, in fact, Xun Ting looked down on Zhong Hui, which was basically a copy of Ma Yan, and seeing that he was bewitched by Jiang Wei in Chengdu and tried to rebel, his strategic vision was more than a step worse than Ma Youchang.

"If you want Jiang Wei and the others to send the Shu soldiers out of the valley, they will follow the public. Even to Chang'an, the knights were ordered to float into the river from the land and the infantry from the waterway, thinking that they could go to Mengjin in five days, and Luoyang with the horses, once the world could be determined. "If this is not a slander of the afterlife, but really Zhonghui's plan, it can be heard as a joke......

It's a pity, there is no Deng Shizai by my side - Deng Ai is still in Liaodong to receive a ticket to the Goguryeo people Tuntian - it is not Liu Chan in person, but no matter what, he has to play a little more beautiful than Zhong Hui, otherwise he will not be able to get over it in his heart.

Fortunately, just when Shixun gradually lost confidence, but he had not completely given up, the news finally came that the Jingzhou army had entered Bazhong, and Xu Huang had also taken Xuanhan and Xuqu. It was Xun who reported the great joy, and hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss, Cao Zhen said: "If Liu Feng knows that Sanba is not guaranteed, he will not dare to stay in Jiameng, but will flee south, I will chase after him, and it is not difficult to break it." However, if Peter enters Chengdu and guards the city, he may not be able to escape. "You estimate, things have come to this point, Wu Yi will let Liu Feng into the city?

Shi Xun frowned and groaned, saying that I might as well write a letter to persuade Liu Feng to surrender - I can finally do something that Lao Tzu is strong in. (To be continued.) )
