Volume 1 The First Entry into the Xuanxuan Sword Chapter 18 Mention the Meridian Conspiracy Again

As expected, the growth caused Wei Yan to send someone to summon him, and Wuyishan left the anxious Ye Liangchen and went to the big tent.

The big tent was empty, only Wei Yan, who was sitting in front of the soybean oil lamp, seemed to have deliberately sent the others away.

"It's just as you expected, and there's nothing you want to say to me?"

"General Wei is stranded here late at night, could it be that Fei Yu still has a task that has not been issued?"

"Now Chengdu is full of rumors, Li Yan's grain and grass have been delayed, His Majesty has also issued an edict to return to the court, and the prime minister has ordered the army to withdraw in accordance with the order, and Feiyu will have a post-break task. You said that there are some things that will be explained to me when the class teacher returns to the court, and now you can say it. ”

The recent trend of military and political affairs has been predicted in advance by Wuyishan, and Wei Yan seems to be very anxious, and attaches great importance to Wuyishan's opinions and plans.

"Last time, it wasn't that I was talking nonsense, and I finally said that I wanted to discuss the strategy of the Fifth Northern Expedition to the Central Plains with the general in detail. ”

Seeing that Wei Yan was listening, Wu Yishan continued: "If my previous judgment is not accurate, the general will not come to inquire about the country now." Before listening to me explain the plan, I would like to ask the general, do you think that the prime minister will go on a northern expedition this time when he returns to Chengdu? If there is a fifth northern expedition, what do you think are the chances of victory?"

Wei Yan thought about it carefully and said: "The Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, the revival of the Han Dynasty is the will of the first emperor, we are favored by the first emperor, and we will do our best to assist the prime minister to complete the great cause of the Northern Expedition, and the next Northern Expedition is imperative." ”

"As for the odds of victory, the Northern Expedition failed, and the setbacks were sluggish, mainly because of the burden of grain and grass transfer, and some people have already said that they should replace the rear transfer with military cantonments to reduce consumption on the way, and the cantonment troops will be implemented soon, as long as there is no shortage of grain and grass, our army can be a ten, and victory can be expected. ”

Wu Yishan feels that the spirit of these people is really admirable, but he always refuses to look at the problem from the actual national conditions, which is a bit too optimistic.

"According to the general, I do not deny that the Northern Expedition has the possibility of success, but please listen to my analysis. ”

"First of all, let's not talk about whether the effect of Tuntian can achieve the expected results, let's talk about our army's great victory over the enemy army ten times, can our army's cavalry expand the results of the battle? How much damage can it inflict on the enemy? What if the enemy army is unable to shrink back and continue the confrontation?"

"If none of the above problems exist, will our army directly attack Chang'an, will there be enough troops to deal with the enemy's counterattack? Although our army is one as ten, the Central Plains region controlled by the enemy is rich in materials and people, and the manpower and financial resources are more than ten times that of our Shudi, our army's northern expedition is going smoothly, and the revival is in sight, will Sun Wu sit back and watch us grow, will the betrayal of the alliance in the past, and whether the incident of crossing the river in white clothes to attack Jingxiang will happen again, and will our army send additional military horses to Yong'an to guard against the Wu army?"

Listening to Wuyishan's series of questions, Wei Yan stood up anxiously, some things are like thick scars under clothes, you will never know the seriousness of the matter if you don't uncover it.

"Hearing you say this, the plan between the prime minister and us is indeed insufficient, and the Northern Expedition has made little contribution, is it really that God does not help me Yanhan?"

"Don't behave like this, the general tries to say something, since I meet the general by disembowelment, I should say everything. ”

"That's natural, since you have seen so many problems, you must be able to break through the situation and solve these obstacles to the Northern Expedition. ”

"Truth be told, I'm not sure. The Northern Expedition was originally a bet on the battle of national fortunes, and the next Northern Expedition will be our last chance, and our stakes are only enough to bet once, which also requires the strong support of the general. ”

Wei Yan was very puzzled, "I don't know what I can do to make you have a greater grasp of what you say?"

"After the death of the prime minister, he seized power, personally led the army, carried out the meridian plot, and directly took Chang'an. ”

Wei Yan was obviously really angry, "Nonsense, the prime minister is good, you actually cursed with evil words." Besides, the Meridian Valley Surprise Soldier was just an idea of mine at the beginning, and through analysis at the Prime Minister's military intelligence meeting, everyone has already denied its feasibility, the risk is too high, and the enemy will not succeed at all as long as he has a little bit of defense. ”

"Don't be angry, the prime minister has done everything himself, but he has the ability to govern the country in peace and security, but he has to lead the army to fight, he is worried about things, he doesn't sleep well and eats less, so hard and painstaking, he is destined not to last long, my Han is now in a corner, fighting for a long time, the people's livelihood is withering, and he can no longer support it for a long time, how can he make great achievements if he doesn't take risks?"

Seeing that Wei Yan had recovered from his politically correct state, Wu Yishan raised his voice and continued to explain, "At this time and that time, the Meridian Valley sent troops in danger before, how did the general know that they would be very wary after the news of the prime minister's death reached the ears of the enemy army?

Wei Yan was really moved, and the strategic proposition he put forward at the beginning could be realized, and there was nothing more impressive than such an affirmation.

"Can you elaborate on it, including how to deal with possible crises, and how to solve the difficulties we are facing?"

"Then I'll speak freely, before I finish speaking, please don't interrupt me if the general hears any unacceptable discussions, and if you want to kill or chop, please wait for me to finish, is it possible?"

"Okay, I promise you. ”

"First of all, I want to talk about the issue of the general being in power, because the premise of all arrangements is that the general is in power in order to take over the Northern Expedition. ”

"This is not a problem, if the prime minister really dies of illness, there is no more suitable person than me in terms of prestige and seniority in the army. ”

"I said, listen to me, don't interrupt the general. How can you be sure that the Prime Minister's will will definitely entrust the whole army to you? How can so many confidants and ministers of civil and military affairs in the Prime Minister's Mansion be more suitable than you, the general who opened the government alone? I dare to conclude that after the death of the Prime Minister, the army will be entrusted to Shi Yangyi, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you will definitely not accept it, general. ”

"The prime minister is indeed more likely to entrust the three armies to Yang Yi to bring back, you say that I don't obey him, I also agree, how can the little officer know how to march and fight, if there is really such a chaotic life, I will ascend and shout, the three armies will definitely listen to my orders, and ...... when the time comes"

"At that time, someone will be on the death bed of the prime minister, behead the general, carry the general's head and read the prime minister's handwriting to the three armies, and then Yang Yi will condemn you to rebel against Wei, and the entire Zhengxi General's Mansion will be killed and there will be no more tiles, and then the imperial court will rehabilitate the general, and the general will not survive, and the power of the Northern Expedition will be consumed in vain!"

Wei Yan was frightened into a cold sweat, with Zhuge Kongming's wisdom, it was impossible not to prepare before dying, everything Wuyishan said seemed to really happen.

"Please sir, teach me, Wei Yan is not a person who is greedy for life and cherishes his life, but he can't let the Northern Expedition plan go down the drain. ”

"The general doesn't need to be polite, the reason why I analyze all this with the general is because I know the loyalty of the general, when the Cao army attacked, Shuzhong was initially decided, and the first emperor selected the general to be the Taishou of Hanzhong, the general said, 'Cao Ju came down from the world, deserved it for the king, 100,000 people came, and swallowed it for the king', I also felt deeply. ”

Wuyishan finally said the final plan, "The general is the growth envoy, the Feiyu battalion is mainly controlled by the general, this withdrawal, I hope the general appoints me to sneak into Liangzhou, I will accumulate strength there, and so the general holds the power, find more people and people to pretend to withdraw the army, I will echo the Northern Expedition, set off chaos, the enemy learned that the prime minister was dead, must think that the army is on the way back to Chengdu, the Chang'an army will go to Liangzhou to suppress, and then the Meridian Valley is a shortcut to Chang'an." Chang'an, flanked on both sides, Liangzhou is fixed, Sizhou is half in hand, and there will be a steady stream of cavalry, horses, and soldiers, so why worry that the Northern Expedition can't do it?"

"Good, good, good. It's just that if you want to transfer the Chang'an garrison, the chaos must be big, otherwise the Liangzhou garrison will be able to suppress it, I don't know if you have any plans to arrange it?"

Wu Yishan thought, Wei Yan is worthy of being a veteran general on the battlefield, he is a person who leads the army and knows the soldiers, and the army is not under me.

"The Feiyu battalion is all fine taxes, do some vigilant logistics here, too wasteful, the ten heroes are elite soldiers, cleaning the battlefield can be done with a team of 100 people, I want the general to give me the Feiyu soldiers, go to Liangzhou, these people are qualified centurions, thousands, with these officers backbone, the strength of the volunteers will sweep Yongliang with the momentum of the prairie fire. ”

"Yes, the odds will be much higher. I will entrust you with the right to arbitrarily do so, and you will do it. ”

"In addition, is this mission to ambush the enemy commander Wei Dudu Sima Yi?"

Wuyi Mountain was once again an unpredictable prophet, and Wei Yan's confidence increased a little more.

"Yes, our army will set up an ambush on Mumen Road, in order to shoot and kill the commander of the enemy army, Sima Yi has extremely high military ability, with him, our army's northern expedition will have greater resistance. ”

"But General, I can guarantee that it must not be Sima Lao Thief who is coming. This plan has long been seen through by the enemy's chief and deputy governors, and the old thief has ill intentions and wants to monopolize power, so he will definitely force the deputy governor Zhang He to lead the troops to chase after him. ”

Wei Yan was greatly impressed, "Is there such a thing? Zhang He has already seen through it, so he must not be fooled." ”

"Zhang He is loyal to the Lord of Wei, is one of the only remaining old ministers of the Three Dynasties, has no two prestige in the army, and is the biggest obstacle on the road to Sima Yi's power. ”

Wuyishan put on a crescent crown, and the appearance of a wisdom pearl in his hand really has a little bit of the taste of Kong Minglongzhong.

"This time in Liangzhou, I can add another point of certainty. Today, Liumayuan happened to save a Liangzhou Daoist, and now he is being detained in the camp as an enemy army. And please cooperate with the general, just do this and so......"

Wei Yan smiled and nodded.

As for the premise of all these plans, Kong Ming is in Wuzhang Plain, and Wuyi Mountain can be guessed, so he naturally knows it.

Wei Yan didn't express any doubts either, so he skipped it and didn't mention it.
