Chapter 141: Light vs. Darkness

After hearing Bu Qi's words, Liu Hou couldn't help frowning, not only did he frown, but the other two also fell into deep thought. That's right, Buqi's method works, if Sima Yi really let the Xianbei people in order to calculate the Shu army, but the Shu army not only went north but went south, far from the trap he arranged, then his calculation will be in vain, at that time, will the Wei State still keep the Xianbei people to harm their own people?

The answer is obvious, at that time, the Wei State will definitely send the Xianbei people out of the Wei realm as quickly as possible, which is even faster than Liu Hou leading the army to beat them out, this is undoubtedly the fastest way to get the people of the north out of the sea of suffering, not even one.

To solve this problem, the Shu army must withdraw as quickly as possible, which is contrary to the decision they had just discussed to wait for the "CIA" people to find out the news before deciding to stop. If we wait for the "CIA" to find out the news, the time will drag on for a long time, and the people in the north will inevitably suffer very badly, but if we do not wait for the "CIA" to hear the news and withdraw our troops, it is very likely that they will fall into the crisis of the fourth scenario mentioned above.

What if Sima Yi saw that the Shu army was not fooled, and immediately # changed the matter to the fourth situation and found someone to smear the emperor of Shu?

At that time, everyone in the world knew that there was a stupid and incompetent little emperor in Shu who hurriedly led a large army to the Northern Expedition, but was deceived by Sima Yi into retreating with a letter. At that time, everyone in the world will recite Sima Yi's wit and wisdom to retreat from the Shu army, and at the same time, everyone in the world will make fun of the little emperor of Shu for being stupid and naïve.

Liu Hou doesn't want to become a negative teaching material in the wisdom stories of later generations, and he doesn't want to be the two hundred and fifty brains who have been laughed at for thousands of years. However, now they are faced with a difficult choice, one is to rescue the victimized people in the Northland, and the other is to become the two hundred and five who are likely to be made fun of.

The three stinkers also knew that the little emperor was now facing a difficult choice, although it was not a life and death decision, but it was also a difficult choice to decide, because this choice was related to the face of a country and a monarch, and it could not be sloppy at all, so the three of them did not bother him silently, but watched him quietly, and at the same time, the three of them were running at high speed in their heads, praying that they could think of a better solution to help the emperor tide over the difficulties.

After a long time, Liu Hou let out a long breath and said, "Hehe, in order to save the people from fire and water, why should I regret this, let alone the reputation of this district." I just thought badly, don't you scholars often pay attention to fame and fortune and regard it as a floating cloud? Can't I see this mere name as a floating cloud?

Haha, Sima Yi, this old boy is too underestimated by me, if I don't even have this bit of mind, what else will I talk about dominating the world, what will I talk about reviving the glory of the Han family, and what will I talk about saving the people of Li from fire and water. The order went down, and the class returned to Jingzhou three days later. ”

"Okay, those who achieve great things are not informal, His Majesty is a person who does great things, how can this kind of small reputation have any adverse impact on His Majesty. What's more, this is Sima Yi's trick to smear His Majesty, and I believe that history will definitely return His Majesty's innocence. As soon as Liu Hou finished speaking, Guo Youzhi clapped his hands and said.

"That's right, the Qing people are self-purifying, and the sacrifices made by His Majesty for the people of the North today, I believe that the people of the world and future generations will remember it, and they will definitely have a further understanding of His Majesty's benevolence." Bu Qi also echoed.

"The minister will let the historian record this passage of His Majesty, so that the merits and demerits will be commented on by future generations." Deng Zhi was more direct and directly asked the historian to record the conversation between the three of them and Liu Hou, so that the historical truth of this matter would have an authoritative written record.

In fact, there are usually historians who are responsible for following the emperor closely and recording the emperor's words and deeds, and they record these things called "Forbidden Living Note", or simply "Living Note", which will become part of the annals of history.

This position was called Shulang or Julang in later generations, but in the Han Dynasty, this position was held by women, called women's history, after all, they often followed the emperor to run around in the harem, and it was indeed not very convenient for a big man, Liu Hou also followed this practice, and chose a palace maid with a peugeot and culture to hold this position.

However, after Liu Hou led the troops to the battle, because it was inconvenient to bring a woman in the barracks, the living notes during this period were temporarily recorded by the male historian.

However, Liu Hou and the three stinkers discussed military affairs, which often involved a lot of intrigue and intrigues, and Liu Hou, who was relatively thin-skinned, did not want these things to be recorded in history, so he would usually drive the historians out at this time.

At this time, the historian did not have Sima Qian's strong donkey temper, in front of a strong monarch like Liu Hou, where he dared to go his own way, what the emperor said was what he wanted, the emperor let the record be recorded, and the emperor did not let him record it, and even if he was recorded, he only recorded good words, or after modification, he thought that it would not hinder the emperor's prestige before recording it, and he did not dare to discredit the emperor in the living note.

"History has always been written by the victors, and as long as we achieve the final victory, why should I be afraid of you smearing me? At that time, it is not certain who will smear whom. Liu Hou muttered to himself, but his voice was inaudible, and the three stinkers didn't hear what he was saying.

Three days later, the Shu army hurriedly withdrew from Maicheng, although it was said that the withdrawal of the army, but the evacuation of tens of thousands of horses was not just to leave, and a lot of preparations had to be made, so three days was already very efficient for the Shu army, and it was probably longer to prepare for other armies.

Of course, not all the Shu troops were withdrawn, Liu Hou left 10,000 horses to guard Maicheng, and these 10,000 horses were usually drawn from Zhu Bao's fourth division.

Of course, Zhu Bao was a little dissatisfied with being siphoned off 10,000 horses at once, but he didn't remember the first time he had been siphoned off like this, and he was a little used to smoking, but this time Liu Hou promised him that as long as his men and horses were fully formed and the training was completed, he would let him participate in the official battle next time.

This made Zhu Bao, who had always been the security captain of the baggage team, really excited for a long time, and after getting the emperor's promise, he hurriedly went to recruit troops to replenish his troops.

Liu Hou, the chief general stationed in Maicheng, asked Zhao Tong to serve as the commander. Zhao Tong has been with him for a while to lead the guards, Liu Hou has long wanted to let him out to take on important responsibilities, and at this time, letting him be stationed in the front-line town of Maicheng is indeed a big test for him at a young age.

His 10,000 men were organized into a reinforced brigade, numbered the 7th Brigade of the 1st Division. It is too much for a division to have seven brigades, but now is not the time to readjust the superstructure of divisions, corps, etc., and we can only wait until the end of this war.

The reason why this unit was organized into the 7th Brigade of the 1st Division also indicates that this is also a firearms unit, like the other six brigades. Of course, this is a firearms unit that has not yet been built, and Liu Hou only left 500 fire# guns for them, in addition to a small number of thunderbolts, rockets# guns, etc., and even a hot air balloon for reconnaissance.

ps. Today, a colleague invited me to dinner, drank some wine, and only wrote 2,000 words when I came back, please bear with me.

These things are enough for them to protect themselves temporarily, but
