Diaoyutai Legend 100100 Goddess of Victory, Goddess of Peace (22)

Zhuge Liang knelt on the ground and cried with tears on his face: "Lord, king, Zhuge Liang was originally a farmer in Longzhong. ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but regret when he saw Zhuge Liang so sad, wiped Zhuge Liang's face with his sleeve, and said: "Military advisor, Aiqing, look at it, what kind of kowtow, knock out all the blood." If you have any grievances, just say it, isn't the Lone King listening? ”

Zhuge Liang said affectionately: "The minister is a farmer in Longzhong, and he is known by the lord of the grace of the encounter, and he looks at the thatched house three times, so that the minister can work with the lord to help the Han family and eradicate the power of the **** horseman." I wanted to follow the lord before and after the saddle, bow to the end, and die, but now I can't bear to see the lord know that there are tigers in the mountain, and he prefers to go to the tiger mountain, so that the peak of ten thousand people falls short, so he resigns to the lord. ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "It turns out that the lonely king has been fighting for many years, and Aiqing is busy in Chengdu, which is very hard, and the lonely king naturally understands it in his heart." Yang Hong, who was recommended by Aiqing, is very capable and decent, so he doesn't need to act as an agent, and he is directly transferred to Shu County. Aiqing can hand over those ordinary affairs to Yang Hong to handle. Aiqing can rest assured to recuperate for a period of time. On the side of the lonely king Hanzhong, Aiqing doesn't have to worry about it, there is a law and a law of filial piety. ”

Zhuge Liang listened, and his heart was even more anxious, judging from Liu Bei's current tone, Liu Bei's tone of speech now when he got Fa Zheng was almost the same as when Liu Bei got Pang Tong. After Liu Bei got Pang Tong, he immediately took Pang Tong to lead the army into Sichuan, and left Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "King, Zhuge Kongming does not want to recuperate, but to say goodbye to the king and return to Longzhong to farm, it seems that farming is my Zhuge Liang's destination." ”

Zhuge Liang said that Liu Bei was renamed from 'lord' to 'king', which obviously increased the pressure on Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was taken aback and asked, "Military Master, has the Lone King been snubbing you recently?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "No, the king is as kind to Zhuge Liang as a mountain. ”

Liu Bei asked: "Then why is Aiqing so ruthless and abandons the lonely king?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The sky descended on the king, Kong Ming did not want to see the king knowing that the catastrophe was coming, and the peak of ten thousand people fell short, so he said goodbye first." ”

Liu Bei asked: "Dare to ask the military advisor, do you want to abandon the lonely king and go, is it because the lonely king does not return to Chengdu to recuperate?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "How dare the mountain people abandon the king, but they can't bear to see the king's achievements fall short." ”

Liu Bei now knows that the military situation is very good, and returning to the division at this time is really an opportunity that cannot be lost, and he regrets that he will not come again. But back then, Xu Shu left Liu Bei, which made Liu Bei lose an arm, and the painful experience made Liu Bei unable to withstand the blow of losing his military advisor for the second time. Especially Longzhong, where Zhuge Liang wants to return, is now Cao Cao's territory, will Zhuge Liang become the second Xu Shu?

Liu Bei said: "Aiqing, if the Lone King returns to Chengdu with the military division, won't the military division abandon the Lone King and go?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "If the lord returns to the master immediately, he is a Ming Jun who listens to the Mingjun, Zhuge Liang only hopes to be able to saddle the horse and bow to the lord, and then die, how dare he retreat halfway?" ”

Liu Bei pondered for a while and decided to give up the current good situation and return to Chengdu with Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei now has no doubt about Zhuge Liang's loyalty, he thought, maybe Zhuge Liang really has an insight into what heavenly opportunity and can't reveal it?

Liu Bei said: "Okay, Zhuge Military Division, King Gu has decided to go back to Chengdu with you." After staying for three days, King Rong Gu properly handled the military arrangements made in the early stage, and he could rest assured that he would return to Chengdu with the military division. ”

Where can Zhuge Liang allow Liu Bei to stay in Hanzhong for another three days, with long dreams at night, if Liu Bei listens to Fa Zheng or someone at this time and changes his mind, then Zhuge Liang himself will fall short. Striking iron while it is hot, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "Since the lord has decided to return to Chengdu, he should say that he will leave, and he will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Liu Bei asked, "Then what about the military deployment made in the early stage?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The lord doesn't have to bother, Zhuge Liang will take care of them one by one." ”

Liu Bei was very convinced of Zhuge Liang's ability to do things, so he nodded and said, "Then the aftermath will trouble the military advisor." Tomorrow, the lone king will appoint his second brother Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide as the Taishou of Hanzhong, and we will leave for Chengdu the day after tomorrow. ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang heard this, he wanted to appoint Zhang Fei as the Taishou of Hanzhong, and he paid it back one by one, didn't that make Zhuge Liang's plan bankrupt? Zhuge Liang hurriedly stopped: "What kind of talent is the right general Zhang Yide, how can he be too shou in Hanzhong?" ”

Liu Bei asked: "The military advisor thinks that the second brother Ren Hanzhong Taishou is condescending, so what position does the military advisor think the second brother Zhang Fei should hold?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Judging from the current situation, Chang'an will soon be owned by the lord. Does the lord think that in the future, the right general Zhang Yide will lead the army to attack Chang'an and sit in Chang'an? ”

Liu Bei thought about it, this also made sense. Liu Bei asked: "Military advisor, with what you see in Hanzhong, who should it belong to?" ”

Why did Zhuge Liang pay special attention to the post of Taishou in Hanzhong at that time?

We need to give a brief account of the military situation at that time.

We must first know what Zhuge Liang wanted to do in a hurry to Hanzhong at this time.

At present, Liu Bei's specific deployment according to the strategy of "Longzhong Pair" has now been carried out to the point that "if there is a change in the world, then a general will be ordered to take the army of Jingzhou to Wanluo." In fact, Guan Yu had already led the Jingzhou army across the Han River, cutting off the connection between Xiangyang and Fancheng. The Battle of Fan Xiang has actually begun.

According to the Sun-Liu Alliance, Dongwu fully responded to Liu Bei's call to "support the Han family and eradicate the ****", and had already raised the military strength of the entire Eastern Wu to attack Cao's army in Hefei.

At this time, according to the national policy of "Longzhong Pair", what Shu Han should and must do is to strengthen the "good alliance with Sun Quan", specifically, to bring back Sun Shangxiang, his wife, from Eastern Wu.

Sun Shangxiang and his female soldiers returned to Jingzhou, so that Guan Yu's Jingzhou would have no worries.

If Sun Shangxiang and his female soldiers return to Shu Han, the direct change in Shu Han politics is the reunion of Liu Chan (Adou) and Sun Shangxiang's mother and son, which will be formed after Liu Bei, the strong leadership core of Shu Han, no one can provoke, and Zhuge Liang is no exception.

This is what Zhuge Liang, who pursues monopoly after Liu Bei, never wants to see.

Even if Sun Shangxiang has not returned to Shu Han at present, Zhuge Liang took into account that Liu Chan (Adou) and Sun Shangxiang are very young, at this time Adou is eleven or twelve years old, and Sun Shangxiang is twenty-eight years old, so one day Sun Shangxiang and Adou will be reunited, and Zhuge Liang's dream of monopolizing power will not last long. In order to completely block Sun Shangxiang's way back to Shu Han, the only way is to completely tear up the Sun-Liu Alliance. Once the Sun-Liu alliance is completely torn apart, Sun Shangxiang will never be able to return to Shu Han.

asked Zhuge Liang to tear up the Sun-Liu Alliance by himself, Zhuge Liang himself did not have this ability, and he did not want to take this responsibility.

What Zhuge Liang wants to do now is to force Sun Quan to tear up the Sun-Liu Alliance by himself.

To achieve the goal of forcing Sun Quan to tear up the Sun-Liu alliance, Zhuge Liang must sacrifice Guan Yu and Jingzhou.

The specific operation is to put Guan Yu, who only has 50,000 Jingzhou troops, into a lonely battle, and a dilemma, and is surrounded and annihilated by hundreds of thousands of Cao troops.

When Sun Quan saw that Guan Yu was about to fail and that Jingzhou would soon fall into the hands of Cao Cao, which would put Eastern Wu under mortal threat, Sun Quan would inevitably attack and seize Jingzhou first.

Sun Quan seized Jingzhou, and the Sun-Liu alliance was completely destroyed.

And what Zhuge Liang had to do was to let Guan Yu in Jingzhou not get the support of a soldier and a piece of food, but he didn't know that all the troops of Shu Han had collected troops and returned to the camp, but Guan Yu still insisted on fighting alone on the front line, and Zhuge Liang was sitting on the mountain in the rear to watch the tiger fight.

In order to prevent Jingzhou Guan Yu from not being supported by a single soldier and a single grain, the first thing Zhuge Liang had to do was to suspend all the strategic arrangements made by Liu Bei.

First, draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle and prevent Ma Chaojun from stationing in Linfang.

Second, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and it is strictly forbidden for Liu Fengjun to send troops to participate in the war.

Third, the decapitation operation, the high-spirited Liu Bei Yu returned to Chengdu and broke away from the front-line command of the battle.

Fourth, Li Dai Tao stiffened, and replaced Zhang Fei, the Taishou of Hanzhong, who Liu Bei was going to arrange, and replaced him with someone who could obey Zhuge Liang's orders.

Why do you have to replace Zhang Fei?

At that time, there were two channels for Guan Yu in Jingzhou to contact the Chengdu Military Daily.

One is from Jingzhou along the Yangtze River, to Jiangzhou (Chongqing), and then to Chengdu.

The other is to go up along the Han River, pass through the Yongfang Mausoleum, reach Hanzhong, and then go to Chengdu.

At this time, Guan Yu had already led a large army to blockade Hanshui, so it was most convenient to report the battle from Hanshui, pass through Shangyongfangling, reach Hanzhong, and then go to Chengdu.

Hanzhong is quite the former enemy headquarters of Shu Han, and all military reports on the Yu side must be forwarded through Hanzhong.

If Hanzhong Taishou is Zhang Fei, then when the third brother Zhang Fei sees the military report that the second brother Guan Yu asks for support, he will definitely send troops. Then Zhuge Liang's order not to send troops will be completely invalid.

In this way, Zhuge Liang's plot was all in vain.

In addition to Zhang Fei, what about the other existing generals in Hanzhong?

Huang Zhong, although he did not dare to disobey Zhuge Liang's orders like Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang had already seen from the battle of Changsha that Guan Yu and Huang Zhong were sympathetic to each other, and Huang Zhong would definitely find a way to help Guan Yu.

Zhao Yun, the most senior, is regarded as a brother by Guan Yu. Although he was resolute in carrying out the orders of his superiors, even if Zhao Yun did not send troops, Zhao Yun only needed to inform Guan Yu that Shu Han had now ordered the full collection of troops to return to the division for a truce, so that Guan Yu would withdraw the Jingzhou army on the front line to Jingzhou, so that Zhuge Liang's scheming would be useless.

Wei Yan is brave and resourceful, and often puts forward some creative suggestions. But Zhuge Liang is a person who does not allow others to make different suggestions, so when Zhuge Liang first joined Liu Bei's group from Wei Yan, he often beat Wei Yan on the reason that there is an inexplicable "backbone in the back of his head", but at this time Zhuge Liang thought that Wei Yan was the best person to carry out his orders. And Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others will make their own serial schemes ruined.

Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "Lord, Zhuge Liang thinks that Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang are the best candidates for Taishou in Hanzhong. ”

Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang often beat Wei Yan, so he asked, "Why does the military advisor think that General Wei is the best candidate?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Internal actions do not avoid relatives, and external actions do not avoid suspicion." Wei Wenchang often mentioned how to attack Tongguan from Hanzhong through the Xiegu, indicating that he had a lot of thoughts on how to forge ahead according to Hanzhong. If Wei Yan is appointed as the Taishou of Hanzhong, given time, maybe his enterprising strategy in Hanzhong will mature. ”

Liu Bei liked Zhuge Liang's speech very much today. Compared with Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun, Wei Yan's qualifications are the shallower. Liu Bei thought that although Zhuge Liang didn't like Wei Yan, he could now reuse Wei Yan, which made Liu Bei happy. Liu Bei said: "Since the military advisor values Wei Yan, let's appoint Wei Yan as the Taishou of Hanzhong." Tomorrow, King Gu will talk to Wei Yan. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "I won't work for the lord." The lord is ready to get up and go back to Chengdu tomorrow. Zhuge Liang will go to Wei Yanye to talk now. ”

Zhuge Liang immediately talked to Wei Yan late at night, and Wei Yan was of course grateful for Zhuge Liang's promotion and acquaintance. Wei Yan assured Zhuge Liang that after he defended Hanzhong, he would never send troops, and would never open the military reports exchanged between Shangyong (including Guan Yu's battle reports, of course) and Chengdu, and directly forward them to Chengdu as soon as possible.

In this way, Zhuge Liang's plan to replace Zhang Fei with Wei Yan and serve as the Taishou of Hanzhong was realized.

In the early morning of the next day, Shu Han held an all-army meeting.

All the soldiers thought that a major battle decision was about to be announced, and all of them were gearing up and preparing to make new achievements.

Liu Bei was in the center of the rostrum, and next to him were Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and other generals.

Zhuge Liang announced the order: "Promote General Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang to General Zhenyuan." ”

The sudden solo promotion of Wei Yan surprised the generals.

Zhuge Liang continued to announce: "Appoint Zhenyuan general Wei Yan Wei Wenchang as the Taishou of Hanzhong. ”

The appointment came as a surprise to all, and the crowd looked at each other.

Liu Bei stood up and asked Wei Yan: "Today, Aiqing is appointed as an important task, and General Wei is appointed as the Taishou of Hanzhong, do you have anything to say?" ”

Wei Yan stepped out of the ranks, puffed up his chest, and said loudly to Liu Bei: "If Cao Cao raises the world's troops to attack Hanzhong, please let Wei Yan be the king and refuse." If Cao Cao sent a partial division to invade my Hanzhong, please let Wei Yan swallow it as the king. ”

Liu Bei was very happy to hear it and said, "Okay! General Wei said it well! ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded.

All the generals applauded and shouted, "Good! You can say that again! ”

Wei Yan's words seemed to be magnificent, but in fact, it was a guarantee to Zhuge Liang: "I am dedicated to defense and will never send troops." ”

But we can know from Wei Yan's words that Liu Bei's troops in Hanzhong for Wei Yan at this time were very strong. If the command of this powerful force was in the hands of Zhang Fei, or Huang Zhong, or Zhao Yun, the situation of Guan Yu's Jingzhou army would be completely different.

Then, Zhuge Liang announced an order that made all the generals almost unbelievable: "The whole army immediately moves, the target, Chengdu." ”

The generals looked at each other, but under the gaze of Zhuge Liang's stern gaze, the troops began to move in an orderly manner.

Zhang Fei walked up to Liu Bei at this time and asked, "Brother, where is the little brother going now?" ”

Liu Bei stepped forward, patted Zhang Fei's back and said, "Third brother, you better go back to your Langzhong first." ”

Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei in confusion, hoping to get an explanation.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and nodded, then shook his head again.
