Water embroidery can be heard. looked at Jia Xu with strange eyes and said! Old nails. "I thought a lot along the way, and I thought about it. Now the land of Yongzhou has a big drawback. It's just that there is not enough food and grass. Before the lord, there were only three counties. Among them, Shangyong County is mountainous, and even if you use a dump car and a zigzag plow, the grain is only enough for self-sufficiency. Therefore, only Hanzhong County and Nanyang County really produce grain. And the lord has already won the land of the division, if you are stunned in the middle of the land, the two places at the same time to build a newly reorganized army of 100,000, of which more than 30,000 are cavalry, the huge lord of the grain and grass consumed by the war horse knows himself. Therefore, if you get the land of Guanzhong, I am afraid that the people of Guanzhong and Sili will also have to live a hard life, which is not conducive to the rule of the lord. If the lord gives up the place in Guanzhong, concentrate on the subordination. Only on the grain and grass should be enough, and when the power of the people is restored, it will not be too late for the lord to return to Guanzhong. ”

Jia Xu actually makes sense, today's Zhang Xiu. It's like being just a skinny person. When he was hungry, he swallowed the food in one gulp, but it did not reach the level of his body at all. If Zhang Xiu receives both Sili and Guanzhong at the same time, he may become the thin man who will die. However, if the food is separated, give some of it to another person. I ate what I could bear first, and after absorbing the nutrients in it, I made my body stronger. It is better to knock down the other person and snatch the food back and eat it again than to eat it and die of it.

Although what Jia Xu said makes sense, after all, fighting a war and receiving territory is not as simple as eating, and Zhang Xiu has to think more. I only heard Zhang Xiu say: "Although what Wenhe said is reasonable, he abandoned Guanzhong, and stayed with Ma Teng and Han Sui for several years, with the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou, and the grain and grass in Guanzhong, I am afraid that I will raise tigers." ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "The lord's worries are not bad, but he thinks that even if Ma Teng and Han Sui are given ten years. Guanzhong can not be restored, as in the pre-Qin period, it is generally a well-known granary in the world. The lord should know that Ma Teng and Han Sui's corporal are all Qiang. The Qiang people only know how to plunder, not to produce. Even if the Qiang people go to Guanzhong to grow grain, but Guanzhong is the land of the Han people, and there must be conflicts between the Han people and the Qiang people. When the Han and Qiang people clashed, this was the first problem they had to face. ”

After a pause, Jia Xu continued: "Second, even if Ma Teng and Han Sui can calm the conflict between the Han and Qiang people. And the exhibition is in the customs, but the lord can also block it. Now Qingni Pass, Hangu Pass, Hedong, Guanzhong, and Shangyong are all in the hands of the lord, it can be said that whether Ma Teng and Han Sui go east out of the Central Plains or south to Yizhou and Jingzhou, they will meet the lord, and the gateways of these places are in the hands of the lord. The lord only needs to send troops to Guanzhong regularly to harass and force the people in Guanzhong to not be able to farm. He also sent people to the land of Guanzhong to persuade the people to the three counties of the lord and the subordinates, and the two-pronged approach, when the people were faced with the choice of not leaving, they could not farm; There was no food to eat, so when they left, they got land, seeds, and farm tools, and the grain tax was very low. The people survived. will also drag his family to flee to the three counties and Sili. ”

If Jia Xu started with an analysis of the internal situation after Ma Teng and Han Sui captured Guanzhong, then the latter ones would obviously have come out of the plan, but the object of this plan was not Ma Teng. It's not Han Sui, it's the people of Guanzhong. Since Jia Xu has followed Zhang Xiu for so long, he has never made a poison plan, so much so that Zhang Xiu suspects that Jia Xu is not right to call him a poisoner. But today, Jia Xu made a plan to let Zhang Xiu know that Jia Xu's name as a poisoner is not in vain. In the past, it was necessary not to have a poisonous plan, and ordinary schemes were already able to make contributions, so why should there be a poison scheme that damaged yin morality, but now the situation is unfavorable to Zhang Xiu, and the so-called big things are not informal, Jia Xu finally threw out his poisonous scheme. If Zhang Xiu really implements this plan. The people of Guanzhong are afraid that they will have to live in chaos for the next few years, and their lives will not be guaranteed. Until Zhang Xiu can occupy Guanzhong.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "Wenhe, this plan is very implicated, and it is too much. Zhang Xiu naturally didn't say the word yin, only said "too much", and with Jia Xu's intelligence, he naturally knew the meaning of Zhang Xiu's words.

Jia Xu heard it, nodded, and said, "If the lord doesn't use the trick, he may be able to listen to the words of filial piety." After that, he sat back in his seat.

Zhang Xiu heard this, turned his gaze to Fa Zheng, and Fa Zheng saw it, stood up and bowed, and said: "Lord, the right plan is to recapture Chang'an, and then support Chang'an Jiancheng Zhan Sanjun and Si Li." Accumulate strength, and then regain Guanzhong in one fell swoop. ”

Hearing what Fa Zheng said, Zhang Xiu asked: "What is the strategy of filial piety to take Chang'an?" ”

Fa Zheng shook his head and said, "There is no good solution. Only strong attack. However, I thought that if the lord wanted to recapture Chang'an, he must first break the army of Ma Teng and Han Sui. In the end, he besieged Chang'an with a large army, Chang'an was not too much grain and grass, and he could only hold out for half a year at most, if he could repel Ma Teng and Han Sui's army

Compare. , 10,000 back to the city. Maybe Chang'an can be recaptured. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded, nodded, and then asked, "Zilong, can you find out the situation of the enemy army?" ”

Zhao Yun stood up and said, "Go back to the lord." Yun only led Lei Yun to ride half a circle in Chang'an City, and saw that the city was full of enemy troops, and there were no less than 10,000 people on each section of the city wall, and there were four sections of the city wall in Chang'an. Counting the reserve army in the city, I am afraid that the enemy army in the city is no less than 50,000. And the Xiliang reinforcements have arrived again. In this way, the two large battalions of the Xiliang Army under Chang'an City should have about 60,000 troops. ”

After Zhang Xiu listened, he silently calculated his troops. Among them, there are 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers, but they are not elite. After the battle, there were only more than 20,000 foot soldiers left, and there were about 10,000 elite troops, and the total army was only 70,000, slightly more than the Xiliang army outside Chang'an. However, Zhang Xiu knew that in this case, he would start a war with the Xiliang army. It can only be a hard fight, and even if you win in the end, I am afraid that you will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800 yourself.

Zhang Xiu was silent for a while. Then asked the two of them: "What else do you have for Wenhe and filial piety?" They both shook their heads at the same time. Zhang Xiu looked at the generals again, and saw that everyone bowed their heads together.

Zhang Xiu sighed helplessly and said, "Filial piety." and repair a book, so that Yuan Chang can prepare winter clothes. Then Deheng led a thousand craftsmen to the Qingni Pass to standby. ”

When Fa Zheng heard this, he wondered: "Winter clothes? Now that the midsummer has passed, the lord is ready to fight with the Xiliang army in winter.

correct

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "If I don't recapture Chang'an, I will always feel uneasy when Guanzhong falls into the hands of Ma Teng and Han Sui." If there is a strong city of Chang'an in hand, even if the rest of the counties in Guanzhong are all taken away, they can be recaptured calmly, even if the loss in this battle is great. It is also necessary to recapture Chang'an

Fa Zheng listened, nodded, and then asked, "Lord, why do you want Deheng to bring a thousand craftsmen here?" ”

Zhang Xiu's originally unsightly face suddenly warmed up a little, and said: "Deheng's newly improved equipment is of great use in this battle. After Deheng arrived at the Deqing Ni Pass, Zi was promoted, and you led 5,000 soldiers to wait for Deheng's dispatch. ”

Huang Xu heard it and replied loudly: "No." ”

Zhang Xiu then said: "You are tired of today's battle, so go back to the camp to rest, and early tomorrow morning, go to challenge with the general, and first frustrate the spirit of Ma Teng and Han Sui's army." ”

When everyone heard this, they responded in unison: "No."

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhang Xiu and the generals led the army out of the camp.

"Knock knock,"

"Jiang woo

The agitated sound of war drums and loud trumpets shattered the tranquility of the early morning, and the aura of murder spread over the old capital of the Han Dynasty. Chang'an City has not experienced such a great battle for too long.

Whether it was the repeated Qiang disasters or the later rebellions of Li Xuan, Guo Yun, and Fan Chou, either they failed to reach Chang'an City or tens of thousands of soldiers fought petty battles."

In the agitated sound of war drums and loud horns, Tai Shici led the flying feather archers to take the lead. It was followed by the Thundercloud Cavalry led by Zhao Yun, the Pangu Lux led by Zhou Cang, and the Bloody Blade Battalion led by Xu Huang. The four elite troops were majestic, and Ma Teng and Han Sui on Chang'an City kept frowning. After a long time on the battlefield, they could see at a glance that these four troops were the elite of the elite, even if it was the Flying Bear Army under Dong Zhuo back then, it was slightly inferior, but fortunately, the number of these four troops was not much, if it exceeded 50,000 people. The 60,000 troops under the city were more than lucky.

After the four elite troops rushed out. Zhang Xiu led 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers as the Chinese army. In the rear army, Huang Zhong led 10,000 foot soldiers to suppress the formation. The rest of the soldiers remained in the camp.

Zhang Xiu's army was in battle under Chang'an City, and the Xiliang army also beat the war drums and sounded the horn.

"Knock, knock"

"Slightly," "Woo"

The drums of war gradually stirred, accompanied by the unique desolate horn of Xiliang, a large number of troops poured out of the two large camps under Chang'an City, and at the same time, the east gate of Chang'an City was opened, and a general led a large army from Chang'an City. The two battalions each rushed out of 30,000 troops, together with the 20,000 troops rushed out of Chang'an City, a total of 80,000 troops confronted Zhang Xiu.

The two armies were in full formation from the beginning. About half an hour passed, and I saw a general rushing out of the front army on Zhang Xiu's side, pointing a gun at the opposite army and shouting: "Donglai Taishi Ci is here, who in the Xiliang army dares to fight?."

Tai Shi Ci drank, but there was some restlessness in the Xiliang army, Tai Shi Ci was a person who did not fall behind Lu Bu's arrows, although his martial arts were not shown. But archery is so powerful, it won't be too bad if you want to come to martial arts. In the past few days, Ma himself was defeated by Huang Zhong. The news of the annihilation of Ma's army has spread throughout the whole army, and the soldiers heard that Ma, who was the first fierce general of Xiliang, was defeated by an unknown Huang Zhong. They began to understand that there were also strong people in the Central Plains, and now they heard that Tai Shici, who was fighting with the first military general of the Han Dynasty and did not fall behind, came out to challenge, and they were immediately restless.
