Shi Xun thought that he had learned from Cao Cao when he was a teenager, and there were countless people who had died so far, and the ones who were more impressed were Taishi Ziyi, Chen Yuanlong, Xun Lingjun, Xun Gongda, Kong Wenju, Ren Jun, Li Gan, Guo Jia, Xi Xian, and so on...... Cheng Zhongde is over seventy years old, and he almost failed to catch up with Cao Cao's rescue of Guanzhong last time, and when he arrived at the place, Liu Bei had already retired, so Shi Shiran continued to return to his hometown to retire, and it is estimated that he will never see him again in this life.

Alas, even he is already in his forties, if he is still nested in the poor and is a poor peasant, it is estimated that this should be packed up and ready to swallow - the average life expectancy of Chinese during this period is about forty years old, the official eunuchs and nobles, the nutrition is better, the medical level is higher, and they may be able to live longer, but one after another, their peers have passed away one by one, and even Cao Mengde, it is estimated that the time will not be too long. When people reach middle age, their mentality is very different from that of their youth, and they gradually sigh that they are poor in the twilight.

Thinking of this, there is a familiar melody echo in my mind, which is: "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green." The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain. The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered. A pot of turbid wine is full of joy, don't dream cold tonight. ”

At the moment, he unconsciously blurted out, and said with a poem: "The long pavilion is connected with the ancient road, the grass and trees are autumn knotweed, yesterday was still glorious, and now the color is old." Heaven and earth are like a reverse journey, as soon as time passes, the turbid wine is full of joy, and the acquaintances are scattered. The disease of the heart, the illness of the body, the hand to look at the tears, and work hard to add food. ”

After the poem was chanted, the son who came to see him off hurried over and said in a low voice: "My lord is cautious, this poem seems ominous." Shi Xun smiled faintly: "The stars are not counted, the articles are not fatal, the turtle yarrow is not enough, and the divination is not enough - how can it be auspicious and ominous?" ”

Then he folded his hands. He bowed deeply to everyone, took the festival from the hands of the subordinates, and jumped into the carriage. All the guests prayed in unison: "May the Taiwei settle the western soil as soon as possible, mix a mountain and river, and return to the Son of Heaven." ”

So I went west and hurried all the way - I'm afraid that I haven't been able to reach Guanzhong yet. Over there, Liu Feng and Liu Chan had already finished fighting, thus missing a great opportunity. Shi Xun originally planned to assist Cao Cao again and accumulate it for a few years, so that he could suppress the eggs of Mount Tai and wipe out Liu Bei's group in one fell swoop. If there are really hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, and the logistics and grain can be supplied, as long as the commander is not a natural waste like Xiahou Nan, how can there be a reason why he can't win? Although fighting a war is inseparable from intrigue and secret schemes, after all, strength comes first. It's like in the original history, Zhuge Kong was a genius tomorrow, but his strength was insufficient, and he returned home after repeated Northern Expeditions. If Kong Ming is not a state, but is like the one he planned for Liu Bei when he was a fledgling, you see that Cao Zhen, Zhang He, and Sima Yi have the ability to stop him?

However, as Cao Cao said, all of a sudden, there was a godsend. The enemy has revealed a big flaw to you, and the fool will not take the opportunity to play a heart-stealing punch! Yesun didn't believe that Liu Feng went all out to attack Liu Chan. In this case, Hanzhong can still uphold the righteousness of the law and "Zhou Yi Chongmen", and keep it like an iron bucket. As long as the Wei army can successfully enter Hanzhong through the various passages on the South Mountain, the battle will be considered half won.

However, if you don't think about winning, you have to plan for defeat first. If Liu Feng wins, how should he deal with it, if it is Liu Chan...... Wu Yi, Li Yan and others won, what will happen?

On the way to the west, he also mobilized troops and horses that could be used by the surrounding counties. Coming together one after another. For example, Sun Wen and Sun Yunan, who were the soldiers of Hongnong County at the time, led 200 horsemen to meet. Shi Xun and Sun Wen had been separated for a long time, and they were overjoyed to see each other, shaking hands and saying goodbye to each other - in fact, he was thinking in his heart that Sun Yunan had nothing else to do, but he could fight, and he was the best choice to be a bodyguard.

Compared with Chang'an, the new Yongzhou assassin Guo Sui and Guanzhong Taishou Sima Fu came to greet each other. To say that this Guo Sui is not a stranger, he is the brother of Guo Yi, the late Yanmen Taishou Guo Yi, and the uncle of Guo Huai, a disciple of Xun. Thinking that it was Xun in the state, Guo Yi was ordered by Gao Gan to lead the army to unite with the Huns, and came to attack, but was captured by the Xun array, and took this opportunity to accept Guo Huai and Guo Boji, and the relationship between the two families has become increasingly close. Now that they have met, Guo Sui didn't even use the subordinate to see the chief, but deliberately used the guest to see the lord's official ceremony, and paid homage to Shixun - it was Xunxin who said that he didn't know his talent, but your character is too far worse than your brother and nephew...... I like it, though.

As for Sima Fu, his eldest brother Sima Lang and Shi Xun have a tacit understanding, and the second brother Sima Yi is also a disciple of Xun, and Sima's family is a family (only referring to Xun's branch), and the relationship is also quite iron. I was going to pay a salute, but at a glance I saw that the chiefs were all doing this, so I would like to come to see them for a lifetime.

Shixun hurriedly helped the two of them up with both hands, and joined hands to talk to the public office. Guo Sui had already set up a banquet, and invited Shi Xun to sit down, and Shi Xun waved his hand: "The military situation is urgent, do you have time to drink?" "Guo Suidao is not necessarily urgent, Cao Junhou has to pass the edict before, and he has supervised the generals to go south to take Hanzhong, and almost all the soldiers and horses in Yongzhou have been brought away, and now I see that the Taiwei has not brought many people, so he can't rush in, and he should sit in Chang'an, coordinate the overall military and political situation and logistics and supply - in this case, do you still care about the time to drink a drink?

Yes Xun said okay, then let's just eat wine and eat while discussing the front-line war.

So he first went into the back hall to wash the dust, and then came out, waiting for everyone to be seated, the servants brought the food table, Ziyi sat down, poured him a glass of wine, and saluted Guo Sui, Sima Fu and others. When he put down the wine glass, Shi Xun asked: "When will Cao Hou send troops, and how many ways will he attack Shu?" ”

It turned out that Cao Zhen also knew that the opportunity could not be missed, so he wrote a performance for Luoyang here, turned his head and began to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and waited until he got the edict from Cao Cao asking him to kill Hanzhong in advance, and immediately led the army south. According to Guo Sui, Cao Zhen divided the army into two, one was self-led, Xu Huang and Lu Meng were deputies, and led 20,000 troops, passing through the meridian road to the south, pointing directly to Shiquan. Now that Cao Wei has obtained Fangling County, he ordered Jingzhou to advance Niu Jin and Fangling Taishou Shenyi from the east side to Shiquan, and with this army and horses, it can ensure that the south entrance of the Meridian Valley is not blocked by the enemy.

On the other hand, Zhang He was ordered to be the main general, Xiahou Shang was the deputy, leading an army of 10,000, and 5,000 soldiers and horses were transferred from Liangzhou to the south. These two roads, one east and one west, are aimed at making it difficult for the defenders of Hanzhong in Western Shu to be justified - according to Cao Zhen's estimates, the Shu people are still fighting inward, and the defense of Hanzhong must be empty, and it should not be possible to take out enough soldiers and horses to block both roads.

It's just that at present, because of the backwardness of the level of communication, where did Cao Zhen and Zhang He go, and whether they were able to successfully break through the valley road and advance into Hanzhong, Guo Sui and they still haven't gotten the exact news.

It was Xunxin who said that this was the trouble of fighting wars in ancient times, and once the strategic planning was completed and the army was scattered, it would be completely impossible to manage, and it could only be left to the independent play of the front-line generals. The so-called "generals are outside, and the king's orders are not subject to it", there is nothing to be done, because it is impossible for the rear commander to control the situation on the front line at the first time, and even if he controls it, when the order is issued to the front line, the situation changes day by day, and it is already unrecognizable, and if the front-line generals obey the order, it will be defeated. Even in the twentieth century, it was still a "dead" word to force remote command - with the Greek head and President Chiang as proof - let alone today?

So Guo Sui is right, he really doesn't miss the time to drink this meal, so he can only wait for the news of Cao Zhen and Zhang He. Fortunately, Zhang He is a general in Hebei, Cao Zhen is a rising star of the Cao family, and he is taking advantage of others, so this battle should not be too ugly.

In the original history, Cao Zhen also sent a large army to cooperate with Sima Yi, the governor of Jingzhou, to attack Hanzhong in a big way, but returned with a feather. But that is because Zhuge Liang coped with the law, Wei Yan guarded Hanzhong like an iron bucket, and secondly, because the weather was unfavorable, and the Guanzhong area rained for days, which led to the severance of the valley road in many places. Looking at the weather now, it's still sunny, and there shouldn't be too many demon moths.

But I don't know what the situation in Shuzhong is? Stop the cup and ask Guo Sui. Guo Sui said that according to the latest spy summons, the Shu army is currently facing off in two places, and the victory is still undecided. First, Liu Feng and Huang Quan's soldiers arrived at the city of Chengdu, and Wu Yi personally led a large army to meet the battle, but was defeated by Liu Feng, forced to stick to the city defense, and called all kinds of soldiers and horses to help; The second is that Ma Chao and Ma Dai went south from Wudu, marched eastward along the water, and clashed with Zhao Yun in Yangping - the current battle situation is still unknown.

Shi Xun couldn't help frowning: "Zhao Zilong is in Hanzhong?" This Liu Bei's cronies are also strong, and it may not be easy to break the ......"

Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, in fact, are not very highly evaluated in the minds of the Central Plains Scholars. Everyone knows that Liu Bei has Pang Tong and Fa Zheng below, and he barely counts one more Xu Shu, Wu Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and maybe one more Ma Chao, as for Zhao Yun, then everyone is gone. Because in the original history, Liu Bei clashed with Cao Cao many times, and finally fought a decisive battle in Hanzhong, and the fight was very fierce, but on this timeline, there were not enough collisions, so the ability of the Shu generals was mostly heard of and lacked personal experience.

And even according to the original historical trend, Zhao Yun is Liu Bei's main horseman, and he has been commanding the cavalry of the Chinese army for many years, and he has rarely been in the shadow of Liu Bei - besides, Liu Bei is the one who loses the battle in most cases, so who will take Zhao Yun seriously? It wasn't until the fierce battle in Hanzhong that Zhao Yunkong retreated from Cao Cao, and was praised by Liu Bei as "Zilong is full of guts", and Cao Wei began to pay attention to this person - unlike Romance, Zhao Yun did not shine when he was in Changbanpo.

So later, Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition made Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi out of the Kei Valley as suspicious soldiers, so Cao Zhen was confused, thinking that Guan and Zhang were dead, and the only one who could fight in Shu was Zhao Yunye, and Zhao Yun was everywhere, and he would be the main force of thieves - what, you said Zhuge Liang? That's just a clerk, General Aneng?

However, Keigu was defeated, and Zhao Yun passed away immediately, and from then on, in the minds of the Central Plains scholars, it is estimated that he is not as important as Wei Yan. After the destruction of Shu, Chen Shou made a biography for it, and his name followed Guan, Zhang, Ma, and Huang, and his reputation gradually rose, and finally because of Pinghua and Romance, he had a tendency to surpass Maiguan and Zhang.

It's just that Xun knows that many of Zhao Yun's achievements, including what battle Panhe spear provoked Kojiyi, Changbanpo seven in and seven out, outwitted Guiyang, saved Yiling and killed Zhu Ran, out of Qishan to kill five generals, and so on, although it is plain and novelist's words, but the so-called "good fighters have no outstanding merits", it does not mean that famous generals will definitely have brilliant achievements, and those who lack enough meritorious service must not fight. Yesun has seen Zhao Yun a few times, and the real Zhao Zilong gives him the impression that he is calm - he has never been most afraid of meeting a calm and calm defender in offensive and defensive battles, and with Zhao Yun in Hanzhong, I don't know if Cao Zhen and Zhang He can take it.

Therefore, he frowned slightly, pondered for a long time, and then asked: "What are Gan Xingba's measures?" (To be continued.) )
