Chapter 357: Return to Zhongjing and wave your army to the north
Spring to summer, after entering May, the Sun and Cao coalition forces that captured Fancheng, were blocked in Jiaxia and Anzhong's attacks, and at the end of May, the Kuailiang Department that had cut off contact with Chang'an, like a rootless duckweed, the soldiers could not bear the sorrow after all, and gradually began to become negative, Kuailiang and Sun Jian discussed it, and decided to return to Chang'an for the time being, in order to ask him to.
Subsequently, Kuailiang's department went west from Fangling and Shangyong, because Wuguan was lost, Kuailiang had to take his subordinates west into Hanzhong, Luogu and Meridian Valley, and north into Chang'an. Without Cao Cao's support, the morale of the offensive became even more sluggish, and after Sun Jian held out for another half a month, he gave up the offensive and began to consolidate the defense of Xiangyang.
When the time was stepping into July, because of Zhuge Jin's sudden stoppage, all parts of the world fell into calm again, but the undercurrent surging under such calm made many people's hearts shake.
Cao Cao and Sun Jian felt the strength of Zhuge Jin, learned from the pain, and also began to change in their own territory, with the existence of Xun Yu, a super person, Cao Cao is much luckier than Sun Jian, the time is gradually approaching October, the change in Cao Cao's territory has begun to bear fruit, and Sun Jian's side is still in the midst of change.
On October 23, 209 AD, a year after Zhang's death, Zhuge Jin stepped into Zhongjing City for the first time, and a huge whirlpool rose from here, at the same time, whether it was Cao Cao or Sun Jian, the eyes of the two were more focused on the heart of the Central Plains, and they also wanted to know that Zhuge Jin's next move was to go west or south?
It's a pity that these people are destined to be disappointed, because Zhuge Jin has not moved anything except for a small number of soldiers and horses, but under such a strange quiet, no one can feel at ease.
"Lord...... "Lord......" "Lord......"
In the mansion, Zhuge Jue moved out of the Zhuge family's mansion after Zhang's death, and lived alone in the courtyard where Zhang's recuperation period, as for Zhuge Xuan, he stayed in his hometown Langya when the Zhuge family was sent to Zhongjing. Without the elders at home, Zhuge Jun integrated the mansion again, the three brothers have an independent courtyard, and these three courtyards are connected to each other and become a larger courtyard, the three courtyards are in the middle, but they are divided into a place, a huge house like a palace is located in it, and Zhuge Jin stepped into it, it is here, at this time in the house, there are already a few people waiting, although there are not many people, but it is enough to startle countless people outside, at this time I saw Zhuge Jin come in, and they got up to meet the Tao.
"Well, everyone is here, but it's been hard work for you all this time." Looking at a few people, Zhuge Jin's face suddenly showed a hint of apology, and he returned a salute to a few people, bowing and apologizing.
"The lord is righteous and righteous, and I admire it." Several people glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to accept this salute, and hurriedly bowed again.
No matter how a few people opposed or agreed earlier, now that Zhuge Jin has returned, no one wants to mention the events of the year, the topic is naturally stopped, everyone sat down, there was not much pause, Xun You got up first and said: "Lord, now Cao and Sun Alliance, no matter which one we attack, we will be resisted by the two families, now although the weather in the north has become cold, but the land of the Yangtze River is still warm and spring, can the lord take this opportunity to fight against Sun Jian?" ”
Xun You's words made some of the people sitting in the same place show some emotion, Xun You's words are a brilliant idea, with the change of the temperature difference between the north and the south, so that the two sides of the alliance have only one war cloud, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the prestige of Cao and Sun, and it is undoubtedly a good idea for Zhuge Jin, who is now in the situation of two families.
For this, Zhuge Jin's expression did not fluctuate much, such as today's situation, compared to the history of Wei, Shu and Wu divided the world, it is also not much panicked, although it is said that the power of the Cao and Sun families is much stronger than the Sun and Liu families in history, but Zhuge Jin is not a vegetarian. Taoguang has been obscure for more than ten years, Zhuge Jin's family background, compared to Cao Cao in history, can be described as the difference between cloud and mud, not to mention anything else, just the pawn of the campaign, he can pull up an army of millions at any time, but he will not be afraid of the Cao and Sun families, not to mention that at this time, he actually already has his own thoughts in his heart.
The atmosphere in the room, with Xun You's opening, gradually became lively, Zhuge Jin looked at it, but never said a word, Jia Xu, who was familiar with Zhuge Jin's character, saw this, and closed his eyes slightly very wisely, and if everyone was noisy, it soon became the left ear in, the right side out, and suddenly no longer took it to heart. Of course, everyone in the room, Jia Xu is not the only one who understands the meaning, such as Cheng Yu, such as Li Ru, such as Zhuge Liang, and the three of them, are exactly the same as Jia Xu's actions, even Tian Feng, who no longer pays too much attention to the military, seems to be silent at this time.
There are not many people in the house, in fact, there are not many, this time Zhuge Jin summoned back, all of them are scribes from the pastoral side, such as Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xi Zhong, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, etc., at this time, a word can be judged immediately. Of course, with such a performance, it is not that they are inferior to Jia Xu, but in terms of controlling people's hearts, there are really few people under Zhuge Jin's account, who can compete with Jia Xu and a few people, and they specialize in art, and they may be like them.
"Su thinks it's not appropriate to plan for this, just imagine, if you were Cao Cao, would you let the lord attack Sun Jian because of the cold? If Sun Jian is unlucky, he will be pacified in just one battle, and he Cao Cao will be able to hold out until long? Seeing that the more everyone talked and the farther away from the topic, Lu Su suddenly became a little anxious, and after hesitating for a while, he still got up and asked Xun You.
Asking questions and discussing with everyone seems to have become a habit for everyone, Zhuge Jin didn't interject, but Xun You didn't care much, after all, such a situation happened, not once or twice, but Lu Su's question made him fall into contemplation, but at this time he didn't know that his thinking inertia was already a bit of a taste of being in the game.
"What Zijing said is good, although the climate in the north is cold, it does not prevent Cao Cao from sending troops to the south, and he will rush to the south of the Yangtze River to help and fight, after all, this is a lesson from the past." After arguing for a long time, even Chen Gong couldn't sit still, but for Lu Su's proposal, his heart trembled, and then he thought of another thing, and couldn't help but open his mouth to echo.
The things mentioned by Chen Gong, everyone obviously understood, their eyes flashed, but they all fell silent, after all, Kuai Liang's matter, until this time, is still in everyone's hearts, who would have thought that Cao Cao would dare to risk the courage of being cut off from the back road, and decisively send troops to Fancheng, so that the danger of Xiangyang can be solved, although Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation to capture Wuguan and earn back some face for Zhuge Jin, but these can't calm down the pride in their hearts.
"What you said also makes sense, but Cao Cao and Sun Jian, although they are nominally allies, but after all, the two families are princes, who would be willing to control their lifeline in the hands of others? No matter how bold Cao Cao was, he would definitely not directly send an army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 to Jiangnan. Moreover, even if this is the case, how can Sun Jian be willing to spend his strength to fill Cao Cao? Furthermore, with the production situation in Jingzhou, it is already good to be able to feed Sun Jian's family, where will the excess grain, grass, and money come from to pay Cao Cao? Xun You obviously hadn't given up his idea yet, and after thinking about it carefully, he really let him grasp the loophole between Lu Su and Chen Gong's words, and fought back.
"Ahem, the lord has been thinking for a long time, and he must have an idea in his heart, why don't we come and listen to it?" Seeing that Chen Gong was about to open his mouth to refute, Jia Xu really couldn't bear it, and couldn't help coughing dryly, and opened his mouth to interrupt the argument they had only seen.
Zhuge Jin was very satisfied with Jia Xu's words, there was nothing more comfortable than such a person, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a smile rippled from his face: "What you said makes sense, but you have forgotten one thing, that is, ...... here" Zhuge Jin said, his fingers on a large area above a map hanging on the wall.
In the house, many people couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the place where Zhuge Jin's finger was pointing, because the place where Zhuge Jin's finger was pointed was a nomadic people on the northern grasslands, could it be ......
As if thinking of something, the sluggishness on many people's faces has not been completely removed, and what followed was another thought that made them all tremble, and after the surprise, they were suddenly surprised.
"Lord, the nomads are strong, but they are just walking in the land of abundant water and grass, just set up checkpoints along the road in the north, it is enough to block them in the secluded and two places, in any case, the nomads are just the plague of moss, and the real big trouble, but Cao Cao, Sun Jian and other princes of the two roads, the minister does not understand, why does the lord chase the big and small?" In the room, everyone who had become excited because of Zhuge Jin's action was thundered by a rough voice not long after Zhuge Jin's voice fell, and even Zhuge Jin, after seeing the person who got up, had a kind of idea of crying and laughing.
No one expected that the person who opened his mouth turned out to be Cai Yong, who would have imagined that such a Cai Yong, who only knew how to hold books all day long, suddenly roared like this at this time, which immediately attracted everyone's attention......
