Under the pretext of not continuing the grain and grass, Shixun asked to temporarily remove the siege of Yuxian and retreat to Mianzhu, and the generals were stunned when they heard this. Cao Zhen was wrapped in trauma and was the first to stand up and speak out.

Cao Zhen said, it was the staff officer (referring to Jun) who had just transported thousands of stones of grain and grass, plus our previous grain storage, enough to eat for more than a month, and from the Hanzhong side, the grain and straw are still being transported into Shuzhong, although the consumption is very large, but it is far from the point where it is unsustainable, how do you say that the grain and grass are not continued? Shi Xun glanced at him and replied: "I have a very strict defense of the city, and I was frustrated by Ma Chao before, I am afraid that it will be difficult to go down in a hurry-Zidan can guarantee the moon and the moon?" If the soldiers are fortified under the city, it will be difficult to overcome it for a long time, and the surplus food in Hanzhong will be exhausted, and it is afraid that it will not be possible to retreat at that time. ”

Cao Zhen said that I can't guarantee that I will conquer the city in a month, but this is not a reason to retreat - "Although my anger is frustrated, the enemy is also newly defeated, if I strive to attack the city, it can be expected, if I retreat immediately, wait for the enemy's temperament to ease, and the city and Chengdu will intersect again, and it will be difficult to cooperate." ”

It was Xun Yi who frowned, and said in his heart that I thought about the problem too simply, and it was indeed a bit absurd to talk about military rations, so I had to find a reason to lie now: "No, if I press, I will fear the enemy and fight, and if I slow down the offensive, he will fight." And temporarily retreat to Mianzhu, accumulate grain and grass, wait for the needs of March, the enemy is also chaotic, you can take the city of Luo, and go down to Chengdu. And now Zidan was created, and he should also be in a hurry to return to Mianzhu Rongyang. ”

Cao Zhenxin said that there is still some truth in what you said in the first half, but the second half is nonsense, not to mention that my injuries are not serious, if you were really worried about me, you should have carried me away with Fu Zhu a long time ago, why did Fu Zifu have already arrived in Mianzhu, you just remembered - oh. Cao Zidan was also injured. You should find a safe place to recuperate. This reason is too far-fetched!

Next to him, Zhang He also advised: "If I retreat to Hanzhong." The Shu people may be disrespectful again, and now they will retreat from Mianzhu, and they will not be more than fifty miles away from the mob, if the mob is still from the door, and he will fight with each other so that I can take advantage of his situation. "Either let's go back to Hanzhong in one go, maybe Liu Feng and Liu Chan will fight, and now they are only fifty miles back, you are all stupid to treat the other party. The enemy is around, and you dare to fight against each other?

Xu Huang added: "Yes. The former governor said that Lu Bu temporarily retreated, so that Duan (simmering) and Jia (Xu) could compete with each other, and could take advantage of the fishermen. If Liu fights today, our army can reach the city at night, that is, he will fight. I don't dare to take risks for this. The governor thinks twice. ”

It was Xun Yi who slapped the table: "I am the governor of the capital, the president's army." The intention has been decided, and there is no reply. "I'm giving you an order, not to discuss with you-" That is, retreat from Mianzhu, those who dare to disobey the order, Jieyue is here! As soon as he said that, he waved his sleeves and returned the account.

The generals will be out of the tent, and there will be a lot of discussions. Someone pointed it out: "The secret envoy of the former Shu came to see the governor of the capital, talked for a long time, and ordered the troops to retreat." Which of them has to be unmistakable? As soon as the big guy inquired, when he dared to summon the Shu envoy, Shi Jun was also in the seat, so he came to Shi Jun to ask: What did the Shu envoy say to the Dadu Governor? Could it be that Wu Yi and Li Yan had the intention of surrendering, so the governor temporarily withdrew his troops and let them merge with Liu Fenghuo first?

It was Junxin who said that Qin Mi persuaded my brother with the saying of "high merit and shocking the master", asking him to postpone the attack on Shu, and even stand on his own according to Shu, this word can't be leaked out casually...... Although my brother rejected Qin Mi at that time, but then kicked me out, and the two talked secretly for a long time, I don't know what they said more-Could it be that Qin Mi finally persuaded his brother?

At that moment, he had to shake his head and said: "This confidential matter, you are not allowed to hear about it." Then he turned his head and entered Shixun's big tent and asked him brother, what do you mean? You and I dear relatives, if you have any plans, you can say it clearly, brother, I will look from my brother's horse. It was Xun Nai who smiled and said, "All the generals are suspicious? "Yes Jun said yes, the big guys can't figure out why you quit the army, so they came to me to inquire, but don't worry, I didn't reveal a word about what Qin Mi told you.

Shi Xun nodded and praised Shi Jun: "Brother Gu Zhi can do big things." "When you're done, what do you think of my mouth? Is it because you can't make up a suitable reason to convince the people, and it will cause the people to be suspicious? "I have been so sure that the people will be suspicious."

Shi Jun asked the reason again, and Shi Xun waved his hand: "The secret strategy cannot be used by the public, and the virtuous brother will know the end if he stays for a few days." "It was Junxin who said that you praised me for "being able to pay big things", and you still refused to tell me what I really thought when it was over...... Could it be that brother, are you really resentful?!

So the army temporarily retreated and returned to Mianzhu. As soon as Shixun entered the city, he hurried to visit Fu Zhu, and retreated from the crowd, talked with Fu Zifu for a long time, and came out with a happy face, and assigned the generals to supervise the transportation of grain and straw, and train the soldiers without mentioning it.

Let's say that the army has been staying in Mianzhu and its surrounding areas for half a month, as Xun said, the continuous transportation of grain from Hanzhong is enough for March - but that's all, and the speed of grain transportation will gradually slow down until all the granaries in Hanzhong are emptied. Suddenly, on this day, Shi Xun convened the generals again and gave an order: "I mean that Liu Feng will die soon, but he can enter Ruocheng and Chengdu!" ”

The generals looked at each other and said in their hearts, "What kind of god has turned around?"

Things need to start from the beginning.

Let's say that when Liu Feng's troops retreated from Jiameng Pass that day, the Wei army wanted to chase after them, and Cao Zhen pointed out that if the Shu people are still at odds with each other, then we can break them one by one and successfully conquer Luocheng and Chengdu, but I am afraid that they will join forces in the face of a big enemy, and things will not be so easy to do in the future. Ma Jian immediately offered advice and said: "Tan has a clumsy plan, but Wu and Li will not accept Liu Fengye!" ”

Cao Zhen now completely looks down on Ma Youchang, thinking that this is a neat-mouthed guy, but in fact, the scholar's opinion is useless, and I don't know why the governor still values him so much - is it because he is also a man of the same spectrum, so he sympathizes with each other? Sure enough, Xun immediately laughed and agreed to Ma Tan's plan: "What you say is very good, you can follow it." ”

So what did Ma Tan offer? It is very simple to say, it is to relax the thousands of Shu soldiers captured before, and spread rumors during the process, taking advantage of the opportunity for them to rush south, so that the rumors are widely spread inside and outside Chengdu. Rumors say that Liu Feng hated Wu, Li and others, so he released cruel words: "Lonely but retreat from the Wei soldiers, that is, enter Chengdu first, slaughter all the rebels, to Wu Ziyuan, Li Zhengfang's generation, and will vent their loneliness and hatred!" ”

Most of these Shu pawns who were let go settled near Chengdu, so they did not flee to Liu Feng's camp, but took small roads one after another, rushed all the way in embarrassment, and returned to Chengdu, and the speed at which the rumors spread to Wu and Li's ears was much faster than the speed at which Liu Feng retreated to Luocheng. Wu Yi was shocked on the spot, and asked Li Yan urgently: "It's the enmity between me and Liu Feng, there is no way to avoid it now, he will want to wait for me, what can I do?" ”

Li Yan said that I had expected this for a long time, either Liu Feng died, or the two of us died, after all, it would be difficult to share the high heavens, and establish this soil - Huang Gongheng also falsely claimed that if he was willing to support Liu Feng to succeed to the throne and make him enter Chengdu, he would never care about the past, and I never believed his words. Maybe because of the situation, Liu Feng will temporarily restrain and appease me, but as long as he has a firm foothold, he will take you and me to the top level!

Therefore, in today's plan, only by plotting to get rid of Liu Feng as soon as possible, annexing his subordinates, and then working together to strictly defend Luocheng and Chengdu, then no matter the country or your and my lives, can there be the possibility of preservation.

Wu Yi asked: "Will the plan be released?" "Li Yan said, I have made arrangements in the past, widely spread rumors related to Hongfu in the Central Plains, count the time, it should also have a certain effect, you can send a person who can speak well, shake his heart, if he can make him rebel against Wei and stand on his own, it is the best, even if he can't, I hope to let him retreat for the time being, delay the offensive, the so-called "self-respect" is also. As long as the Wei army retreats, it is not necessary to go too far, and it is enough to retreat to Mianzhu, then the enemy in front of Liu Feng will slow down a little, and he will inevitably want to turn his head against us and others. And let's take advantage of this opportunity, pretend to be forced to show weakness, let him fall into Chengdu, and then set a trap to take his life......

So he immediately sent Qin Mi to say Xun. Qin Zi entered the Wei camp and talked eloquently, and was treated as a horse ear by Shi Xun, but Qin Mi was not discouraged, and asked Shi Xun to retreat from everyone, saying that there was a secret matter to tell him. Shixun was also curious about what else he had to say—this was probably also an occupational disease—so he agreed.

Of course, he also took it into account, could it be that Qin Ziyi wanted to be alone and wanted to assassinate me? But look at the old man in front of him is also in his fifties, thin and clear, like a candle in the wind, he has searched his body before entering the account, and he has not brought any weapons - I have practiced martial arts for a few days, and I still have a sword at my waist, what is there to fear?

If there is an unknown Shu envoy, maybe Xun doesn't dare to trust him so much, but Qin Ziyi, he has also heard of his name for a long time, as far as the history books are concerned, the main credit is that he has sent an envoy to Eastern Wu several times, and Zhang Wen has been speechless, and he has never led troops to fight. This is a pure lip servicer, what skills can he be an assassin?

So he had the courage to retreat from everyone and talk to Qin Mi alone. As soon as Qin Ziyi saw that no one else was there, he immediately leaned closer, lowered his voice and said to Shi Xun: "Mi is here today, and Li Zhengfang has sent it, and the Zhengfang has made people spread rumors in Luozhong, and the Yundu Governor has the heart to rebel against Wei, and if he wants to make the governor and the ministers suspicious, he can take something from it......"

Yes Xun is really at a loss this time, and his heart says which one is this playing? You, Qin Ziyi, actually told me such a secret matter, did you want to follow Zhang Song's dedication to the map, and wanted to betray the Lord and seek glory?

I heard Qin Mi continue: "Looking at the expression of the governor today, it is expected that there is a clever plan to respond, if the positive side is incapable, then Shu will be destroyed." It doesn't hurt to destroy Shu, but I am afraid that the fire will be in Kungang, the jade will be burned, and the day the city will be broken, my lord will not be able to ...... it all."

When Shi Xun heard this, he thought about it for a while, and finally suddenly realized, and immediately asked: "Lord Qingyan, do you have to do anything to General Zhenwei?" (To be continued.) )
