readx;?? Zhang Jiashi naturally would not give up the two counties of Bashu and Hanzhong County like this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info [Burn ^ Wen ^ Book Library] [].. [].vd.m

In the winter of this year, Zhang Jiashi established the next action plan, that is, the battle plan from Hanzhong County to Bashu County.

In fact, Zhang Jiashi has not thought about one point, that is, to resolve this matter peacefully.

But Zhang Jiashi's thought made Li Zuoche shake his head.

Because Li Zuoche understands a situation very well, that is, as a separatist force that has closed the border for a long time, Zhang Jiashi occupied Guanzhong and established such a news of his rule over Guanzhong, the county guards of Hanzhong County and Bashu County should naturally be clear.

In the battle of Jiaxian, Zhang Jiashi asked Li Shang to lead the army to patrol the new plank road in Hanzhong, although there was the possibility of beware of Liu Bangliu running to Hanzhong County to wreak havoc, but Zhang Jiashi did not think about the plan to let Li Shang take the opportunity to peep at Hanzhong County.

In fact, in this half a year, Hanzhong County could have re-obeyed the orders of the Xianyang side, but the other party did not do so, and Li Zuoche knew very well what their plan was.

As for the situation in the two counties of Bashu, Li Zuoche thinks that the Li family of Shu County and Bajun are too guarded by Jingtuo, even if they want to surrender to Zhang Jiashi, they are afraid that there is no way because the road is blocked.

It was impossible for them to send people across the mountains and then come to Guanzhong.

In Li Zuoche's thoughts, Zhang Jiashi must send troops to pacify Hanzhong, so that even if the two counties of Bashu really plan to divide the territory, I am afraid that they will have to weigh whether they have such a strength.

......

Although the land of the two counties of Bashu is very vast, in fact, the land controlled by the Great Qin Empire is quite small. Some of the border mountains and forests near Hanzhong County, these indigenous peoples often did not obey the orders of the Great Qin Empire.

Although, these people generally don't do anything too drastic. It's like Bai Maqiang rebelled a few years ago and killed the officials sent by Great Qin.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the mountains of Bashu, causing the Great Qin Empire to gradually lose patience with these ethnic groups and withdraw its officials for a period of time before the unification of the world.

It can be seen that if it is because the Li family and Jing Tuo want to rebel. They don't actually have that kind of strength.

It is true that decades ago, Li Bing built Dujiangyan, making the Bashu Basin gradually become a place of abundant grain and grass. But there is one point, it is naturally impossible to think that the strength of the two counties of Bashu is strong just by virtue of this.

And Li Zuoche didn't think that the Li family and Jing Tuo would have this ability, or that they had this ambition.

Because Bashu is certainly easy to defend and difficult to attack. But this place is actually a dead place as well.

Sticking to the development of Bashu is not a good idea.

He thought about it for a moment. Speak your mind:

"Your Majesty, the disposition of Hanzhong County is not to be delayed. Wang Shangke led an army south to Hanzhong. Once Hanzhong County is pacified, it is unknown how Ba County and Shu County will be at your fingertips. ”

Li Zuoche said this sentence, in fact, Chen Ping and Sun Po both thought about it.

But they didn't say such an idea, mainly because Hanzhong County is also an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.

It is true that the Great Qin Empire built a new plank road to Hanzhong and Shu County, but such a road. In fact, it is also controlled by Hanzhong County.

They wanted to storm Hanzhong County, and the price they paid was quite large. Moreover, if something is wrong, Sun Zao, the county shou of Hanzhong County, can also directly burn the plank road.

If such a situation really occurs, the difficulty for them to attack Hanzhong County is not ordinary.

Of course, the troops under Zhang Jiashi could also attack Hanzhong from the Chencang Ancient Road, but this place was not easy to walk. And it's not a star-and-a-half place where you can set up ambushes along the way.

It can be seen that they do not think that Gongsun Zao will surrender easily in such a situation.

On the contrary, they actually did not have much confidence in attacking Hanzhong.

Because it's too difficult.

So, after Chen Ping glanced at Li Zuoche. He clasped his fists at Zhang Jiashi: "Your Majesty, this matter is likely to need to be discussed in the long run. ”

After Li Zuoche heard Chen Ping's words, he couldn't help frowning slightly, because what Chen Ping said was not unreasonable.

When Zhang Jiashi heard Chen Ping's words, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Because he quickly thought of the reason why Chen Ping said that he was planning in the long run, it was the place of Hanzhong County. It's really hard to fight.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Before King Qin Hui, there seems to be no record of the deeds of Hanzhong County that could be easily captured.

But after that, to attack Hanzhong County from the north, even Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu paid a considerable price to be able to "win Longwangshu".

Later, there were two rather obvious examples of failure, namely Cao Cao's Battle of Dingjun Mountain and the Battle of Wei Shu Xingshi that broke out in 243 AD.

The previous battle of Dingjun Mountain was not a big defeat for Cao Wei. And the latter's battle of prosperity became a very important foreshadowing of his Gaopingling incident after the fiasco of coach Cao Shuang.

It can be seen that this place in Hanzhong County is not an ordinary difficult place to deal with.

The situation of the battle of Xingshi is recorded in the Qingyu Spirit Book:

In the fifth year of Wei Zhengshi (244), the Shu Han army repelled the attack of the Wei army in Xingshi. Xingshi Improvisation Mountain, in the periphery of Yangpingguan (now west of Wuhou Town, Mianxian County, Shaanxi), is located in the north of Yangxian County, Shaanxi, and now belongs to the Changqing Nature Reserve in Shaanxi. In the third year of the early Jing Dynasty (239), Emperor Cao Rong of the Ming Dynasty died of illness, and Cao Shuang, the general of the auxiliary government, was anxious to build a military and build a prestige in the world, and in October 243, Jiang Wan retired from Hanzhong to Fuxian. Cao Shuang rashly led the army to attack Shu and attack Hanzhong in the first five years of Zhengshi. Luogu (i.e., Fu Luo Road, now the valley of the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi. The north entrance is called Luogu, in the southwest of Zhouzhi County, and the south mouth is called Fugu, in the north of Yangxian County) is the shortest of the three valley roads in Hanzhong Tongyongzhou, but the middle waterless section is longer than the slope road, the mountain road is steep, and the passage is difficult. Cao Shuang's choice of this road made it extremely difficult to provide backup, and at that time, Guanzhong and Diqiang (Yongliang) were mobilized to transport logistics materials, and as a result, "cattle, horses, mules, and donkeys died, and the people cried on the road".

It can be seen that this place is indeed very difficult to fight. Cao Shuang will lose so badly, it is not without warning.

It is impossible for Zhang Jiashi to ignore this situation and act lightly.

He pondered for a moment. agreed with what Chen Ping said.

Although he is not worried that the unlucky Cao Shuang will happen to him, he can't deny that Zhang Jiashi's current strength can't withstand too much tossing.

......

The plague plague that ravaged almost the entire Central Plains region had been relatively stable for a period of time after Zhang Jiashi "unintentionally" lost the prescription.

Of course, such a thing. It may be that such a situation occurs because people are dead.

But no matter what, Zhang Jiashi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But that doesn't mean he can sit back and relax.

Opposite. After half a year, Zhang Jiashi, who could not make up for the losses caused by the series of major battles that broke out after going south, was also unable to mobilize too many troops to carry out this operation.

He knew very well that this battle must be fought, because the meaning of Li Zuoche's suggestions was well known to Zhang Jiashi himself.

Make an example of what to do. It's that simple.

It is undeniable that Zhang Jiashi still wants to settle this matter peacefully. But it is no longer possible for Zhang Jiashi to do this.

Let's not talk about the situation in the two counties of Bashu, just the situation in Hanzhong County, Zhang Jiashi naturally knows very well that Gongsun Zao does not plan to surrender.

He didn't have the patience to play with Gongsun Zao slowly.

Because. At such a time, a large amount of land within his forces has already taken advantage of this period of time to carry out the second step of rectification or, as in the case of the Guanzhong region, to carry out preliminary rectification.

If the war drags on until spring, the impact will be there, but it will be much better than fighting after spring.

Zhang Jiashi did not think that the troops under his command would not be able to manage a small Hanzhong County in two or three months under the appropriate arrangement.

Zhang Jiashi didn't say a word. That is, he has to celebrate a birthday with several of his children this year.

You must know that since the year before last, Zhang Jiashi has not celebrated his child's birthday for two consecutive years.

Although the two children didn't say anything, even the Ying Yuexi sisters understood him very well, but as a father, he was really derelict in this regard.

......

Zhang Jiashi knows. Want to achieve a winning result in this battle at a relatively small cost.

Careful arrangements and the right selection of generals. It was something he had to be careful about.

Careful arrangement is secondary, and the most important thing is that he can find a suitable general to assist him in commanding troops or sharing some combat tasks.

Zhang Jiashi is now a talent man. Especially when the children of some officials have passed the assessment, the pressure on the middle-level officials has been reduced a lot.

But the generals who led the troops this time, Zhang Jiashi himself knew one thing very well, that is, this matter must not be sloppy.

Zhang Jiashi has two people in his heart who he thinks are more suitable.

One is naturally Han Xin, the protagonist who created the deeds of Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang.

And the Qingyu Spirit Book also has a relevant reference to this matter:

Strange is positive, and no positive cannot be surprising. Unknown plank road. You can't secretly cross Chen Cang. In the past, Deng Aitun Baishui was in the north, and Jiang Weiyao was in Liaohua in the south of Baishui, and the camp was formed. Ai said the generals: "The order is returned, our army is small, and the law should come to cross, not a bridge, and this maintenance envoy will hold me, and the order will not be returned." It will attack from the east and take Taocheng. "Ai is the night diving army and going to Taocheng. Viggo comes to cross. And Ai came first, according to the city, so that it could not be broken. This is Jiang Wei's plan not to use the secret crossing of Chen Cang, and Deng Aicha knows that his voice is also a plan to attack the west.

When Zhang Jiashi saw this incident, he couldn't laugh or cry, because this incident was recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

But in any case, if it is said that the most suitable candidate, Zhang Jiashi himself knows very well that there is no one more suitable than Han Xin.

As for the other candidate......

To be honest, Zhang Jiashi didn't want to use this person, but Zhang Jiashi wanted to cooperate with Han Xin to attack Hanzhong County, and the existence of this person was really important.

And this person is his stepfather, Meng Wu.

But Zhang Jiashi himself knows that Meng Wu's health is getting worse and worse, and in this case, Zhang Jiashi really can't bear to let Meng Wu serve as his deputy general.

However, Zhang Jiashi knew one thing very well, that is, Meng Wu might also want to meet the children of his two brothers-in-law. After all, this is also human nature.

When he thought of this, he said to Chen Pingren: "This matter." Let's talk about it here today. Lone wants to visit his stepfather. ”

When Chen Ping heard Zhang Jiashi's words, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

But they soon came back to their senses, that is, Zhang Jiashi did this, and it was very likely that he wanted to invite Meng Wu out of the mountain.

After all, this matter is not unrelated to this old man at all.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

Meng Wu and Qi Hong did not live with Zhang Jiashi, but bought a small mansion in Shuangyueyi and lived in seclusion.

After Yingziying died in the Yongdu Rebellion, Meng Wu knew that Zhang Jiashi was likely to lead such a matter.

But he didn't reppoint anyone. Because Zhang Jiashi did this, it is understandable. No one can so easily let a mortal enemy hover over his side.

Zhang Jiashi and his friend's son. After Zhang Jiashi refused to support the other party as emperor, it has become an endless situation.

But Meng Wu himself knows one thing very well, and Zhang Jiashi cannot be blamed for this matter.

If he is in Zhang Jiashi's position, I'm afraid, he won't be more patient than Zhang Jiashi......

He has a good relationship with Ying Zheng's brothers, and he also knows very well what kind of attitude Ying Zheng has with Cheng Jiao's death.

But when he found out that Yingziying had that kind of ambition. Or maybe he misinterpreted something in the first place, and it developed to such a point that even if he wanted to redeem something, it was already too late.

He wants to offer to adopt Ying Ling'er under his knees. However, Zhang Jiashi politely rejected him and said a word to him: "I am responsible for the death of Yingziying." If that girl wants to take my life in the future, let her come. ”

Zhang Jiashi's words made Meng Wu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Zhang Jiashi would have such an idea.

And after this thing. As long as Zhang Jiashi has a little free time, he will take several of his children to the Mengwu family.

Although, according to Zhang Jiashi, this is his plan to come to Mengwu's house to eat. But Meng Wu himself knows one thing, that is, Zhang Jiashi hopes that his children can spend more time with their old couple.

For such a situation, Meng Wu and Qi Hong secretly thanked Zhang Jiashi in their hearts.

After all, several children, including Ying Ling'er. It really made them a lot of fun.

......

However, today's visit by Zhang Jiashi in civilian clothes made Meng Wu feel that Zhang Jiashi's arrival this time was a serious matter.

He didn't say anything polite, but after bringing Zhang Jiashi into the small but quite neat little house, he asked Zhang Jiashi: "Child, you came this time, I guess you came for something." ”

"Hmm. Zhang Jiashi didn't talk nonsense, but said to Meng Wu: "Father-in-law, the main reason for the child's arrival this time is to hope that you can serve as the child's deputy general." ”

"Oh?" Meng Wu looked at Zhang Jiashi with some doubts, because he knew that Zhang Jiashi came to him to serve as a deputy general this time, and it was probably not an ordinary thing.

Although Meng Wu does not hold any position now, even in terms of ability, Meng Wu does not think that Huan Feng, Wang Li, Han Xin and others will be worse than him, and there are even many people who are better than him.

These people don't want to be Zhang Jiashi's deputy general, even if they let them lead an army alone, there is no problem.

But Meng Wu quickly thought of a question now, that is, the place where Zhang Jiashi wanted to attack next might have something to do with him.

"Are you planning to attack Hanzhong?"

Meng Wu asked with some confusion.

Zhang Jiashi did not deny it, but nodded: "That's right, father-in-law, the child also knows the children of the two brothers, and the father-in-law should be quite worried." Therefore, this time, since I hope that my father-in-law can give full play to his strengths, I also hope that my father-in-law can find the two of them in person. ”

The second half of Zhang Jiashi's words were more of a helplessness.

It was not that he did not send people to find the children of Meng Tian and Meng Yi, but the people sent out either had no news or died somewhere in Hanzhong County.

In short, the dozen or so people he sent out before and after did not bring back any news, and they also paid a heavy price of more than half of the dead and wounded.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi still has some remorse for Meng Wu in this regard.

Meng Wu actually did not blame Zhang Jiashi for this matter, and he also knew very well that the swordsmen or assassins sent out from Zhang Jiashi had paid such a heavy price, which already showed one thing, that is, there was a problem in this place in Hanzhong County.

What Zhang Jiashi didn't say to Meng Wu was that he asked these spies to find out the news of the two people, and also to spy on the truth of Hanzhong County. Otherwise, Chen Ping and the others would not know how easy and difficult to defend this place in Hanzhong County is.

And now, he is watching Meng Wu ponder.

......

Meng Wu knew that his health was not good, and when he conquered the Chu State, the root cause of his illness had worsened a lot.

However, Meng Wu finally agreed to Zhang Jiashi's request:

"In that case, my old bone will be on the battlefield for the last time. ”

Meng Wu said this sentence, which made Zhang Jiashi a little moved.

He stood up from his position and bowed deeply to Meng Wu: "The child is grateful to his father-in-law. “

......

After Zhang Jiashi left, Qi Hong walked in through the side door and said to Meng Wu: "Do you still want to go? When you went to Chu State, I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to see you. ”

Meng Wu gently hugged his wife and said calmly: "I won't die so easily, especially before I see those two children......"

In the hearts of this couple who have been together for many years, they themselves did not expect that more than a month later, Qi Hong received a message that made her sad:

That's ......

Meng Wu died in battle, and what Meng Wu, who was killed in the chaos, did not expect that the commander who led the army to raid his rear guard was Meng Tian's eldest son, Meng Hao......
