Chapter 51: The Meeting
Yongliang generals, Guo Huai is Sima Yi's old friend, but Deng Ai is Sima Yi's hardcore confidant.
Nan'an was on the road to Shangtai, and three hundred cavalry passed through its territory and had to be reported.
Xiahou was arrogant and would rather take a detour to the north mountain road than the traditional Longxi Road, so he would make a detour of more than 100 miles.
This place is still more than 40 miles away from the street pavilion.
Li Mi is purely speechless.
Seeing Xiahouba's attitude, he had no interest in continuing to talk awkwardly.
Yang Zheng led his forty personal soldiers to cut down wood and set up camp.
In this era, the Longyou region is quite desolate, barren mountains and mountains, wild beasts are everywhere, the Han people are fierce, the people are the people during the day, and the bandits are at night.
So basic precautions are necessary.
Set up the camp, and it will be dark.
The wind howls in the wilderness, and the wolf howls one after another.
Yang Zheng always felt that something was going to happen, or expected something to happen, but until dawn, nothing happened.
Li Mi is still alive, no illness or disaster.
It may be that it is almost Shangqi, and Xiahou Ba is preoccupied.
Shangqi is the gateway to the two counties of Tianshui and Guangwei.
In the fifth year of Taihe, Zhuge Wuhou went out of Qishan in four directions, occupied Lucheng, defeated Guo Huai in Shangqi with inferior forces, Sima Yi refused to fight, and defended the wall, the Shu army ran out of food, and shot Zhang He in Mumendao when retreating.
At this time, Shangtai is also lively, and there are camps everywhere outside the city, and people shout and neigh, and there are many Qiang riders.
Guo Huai had already ordered that all the generals' personal soldiers should be stationed outside the city.
There was a lot of traffic in the city, and it seemed that people with heads and faces in the counties of Longyou had come.
The building is also full.
However, Xiahou Ba obviously cannot be compared with ordinary generals, and he can be regarded as a figure with a head and face in Yongliang, and he was directly assigned to a courtyard.
There were quite a few people who came to visit, and some of them had a lot of connections with the Xiahou family.
Xiahou Xuan's heirs are not the same, and his son Xiahou Nan supervised the town of Chang'an, and placed many concubines, indulged in wine, and then attacked each other with several brothers, and was disgusted by Emperor Ming.
But the sons of Xiahou Yuan are quite successful, Xiahou Ba doesn't care, the third son Xiahou said that he shot a tiger at the age of sixteen, and he was a heavy weapon for Wei, but unfortunately died early.
The fourth son, Xiahou Wei, successively served as the assassin of Jing Yanzhou.
The fifth son, Xiahou Rong, was seven years old and could write, never forget, and at the age of thirteen he was in Hanzhong with Xiahou Yuan, and when he heard that his father was killed, he drew his sword and went out to fight, and died in the battle.
Xiahou Hui and Xiahou He are also talented for a while.
The Xiahou clan is a top family in Cao Wei itself, with deep roots and many big clans.
In the early years, Xiahou Wei was too punctual in Taishan, and he once arranged a marriage between the two clans of Xiahou Yang and married Yanghu with the daughter of Xiahou Ba.
According to the generation, Zhang Fei, a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty, is also the son-in-law of the Xiahou family, and Zhang Fei's daughter is married to Liu Chan, the lord of Shu......
Yang Zheng felt a mess in his head.
In the past two days, I have met a lot of people with Xiahou Ba, and I can be regarded as having a clearer understanding of the Cao Wei family.
Cao Shuang used him to guard Longxi, and it was a good move to divide the Yongliang military power, and cooperate with Xiahou Xuanyi on the left and on the right.
If there is no fiasco in Shu, within a few years, the hearts of Yongliang people will return to Xiahou.
On the third day, Guo Huai finally opened the court.
More than 100 generals and officials gathered.
Yang Zheng saw two acquaintances, Pang Hui and Hu Fen.
The two saw him too.
Pang will hide far away, for fear of getting involved with him.
It was Hu Fen, smiling and nodding.
Guo Huai is not only a general before the fake festival, but also a history of Yongliang assassination, and he grasped the military and politics, which is no different from the festival of the Tang Dynasty.
If you talk about it, Guo Huai was still Xiahou Yuan's old department, and participated in the battle of Hanzhong as the position of Sima on the march, Xiahou Yuan fell to Dingjun Mountain, it was Guo Huai and the overseer Du Raid to collect the scattered soldiers, order the army, promote Zhang He as the commander, and stabilize the morale of the Wei army.
"The defeat of Shu, the elite of Yongliang is seven out of ten, Guanzhong is empty, make a detailed report, Jiang Weitun soldiers in Hanzhong, there must be a heart for me!" Guo Huai said in a deep voice in the hall.
As soon as Yang Zheng heard that it was not a criticism conference, half of the stone in his heart fell.
Think about it, how can a big man like Guo Huai worry about an ant like himself?
People may not remember themselves.
Besides, the attack on the Qiang land, it is true that the Qiang chaos was quelled in the fastest time and the situation was stabilized, so that he still has merit, not to mention the reward, but he will not make himself, right?
The generals in the hall talked a lot.
The Shu army did not take advantage of the victory to attack Longyou, but it did not surprise too many people.
On the contrary, it is strange that they do not act.
After the death of Zhuge Wuhou, Jiang Wei, the Qiliner of Tianshui, took over the mantle and was determined to revive the Han dynasty in the Northern Expedition.
At present, the situation in Longyou is not optimistic, Guanzhong is still recuperating, Chang'an is unable to provide reinforcements, and the total number of soldiers and horses in Longyou counties is only about 20,000.
It is also necessary to suppress the Zhuyi who are about to move.
Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition either pointed directly at Longxi, or went out of Qishan Fort and attacked Shangqi, so Guo Huai appeared here.
Cao Wei nominally controlled Wudu County, but in fact, Wudu was almost captured by the Shu people as soon as possible, and Cao Wei only occupied some fur land.
The Shu army will attack Longxi, in fact, it is not difficult to predict that Jiang Wei is familiar with Yiqing and has a certain reputation among the Qiang people.
Since the beginning of the second year, Jiang Wei has repeatedly entered the Qiang to fight, connecting with the Qiang department,
In the first year, Jiang Wei and the Qiang people entered Koulongxi, but were repelled by Guo Huai.
Before the Qiang chaos, the Qiang people did not look for Nan'an, did not move Jincheng, did not disturb Tianshui, but stared at a county in Longxi, which was not a temptation.
Moreover, Jiang Wei is also the general of Zhenxi of Shu State, leading the history of Liangzhou.
"General Xiahou, do you have a good plan?" Guo Huai named Xiahou Ba.
There was a sudden and eerie silence in the hall.
The official level crushed people to death.
No matter how high Xiahou Ba's rank in Cao Wei is, it can't be as high as Guo Huai's fake festival.
What's more, Guo Huai is about ten years older than Xiahouba, and he has been a horse all his life, and his qualifications are too much higher than him.
Xiahouba stood up and debuted: "Jiang Wei did not raise more than 10,000 troops before, and the harm was to collude with the Qiang people, and it was difficult for Longxi County to break Jiang Wei, but it was more than enough to protect himself." ”
"Qiang people, Qiang people!" Guo Huai raised his head and groaned softly, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "Last time I was in turmoil, I heard that there was a captain Yang Zheng under your command, and he went out to help you pacify Longxi Qiang, did you come with you today?" ”
Yang Zheng chuckled in his heart, it was his turn to appear so soon?
Xiahou Ba glanced over, Yang Zheng hurriedly came out, half-knelt on the ground, and said with his fists low: "Subordinate Yang Zheng, meet General Guo." ”
Although he is guarding in Longxi, he is still a Chinese army in terms of establishment.
Therefore, he only dared to call himself a subordinate, and did not dare to report his home, so as not to attract the hostility of the Yongliang generals in the hall.
"But Yang Zheng, the commander of the Wuwei Battalion?" Guo Huai said lightly.
An understatement puts yourself on the cusp.
I felt that the eyes looking at me suddenly became unkind.
"Subordinates exactly." Yang Zheng couldn't pretend anymore.
"Come on, enjoy the wine!"
Yang Zheng was stunned and looked at Guo Huai in surprise.
Guo Huai's face was calm, his face in his fifties was as hard as a rock, and his eyes were so deep that he didn't dare to look at him directly.
After a while, a pro-soldier brought a wine bottle and handed it to Yang Zheng.
Looking at the pale yellow color of the wine, an idea popped up in Yang Zheng's heart, this wine won't be poisonous, right?
But he immediately felt ridiculous about his thoughts, Guo Huai was not like this.
In fact, I picked up the wine bottle and drank it all.
The spirits of the Northwest are like fire in the throat.
Yang Zheng was in a hurry to drink, and couldn't help but choke and his face was red.
"How's this wine?" Guo Huai's face seemed to have no expression forever, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
This may also be the art of the famous general.
"This wine is like a raging fire, like drinking the northwest wind."
"Well said!"
"Good boy!"
The hall erupted in cheers.
Yang Zheng secretly thought that his sycophant was just right.
Although the Yongliang Army and the Chinese Army are two mountains, Haojie will be recognized anywhere.
There is no shortage of Yongliang generals who are heroic and capable of doing things like Hu Fen, and there is no shortage of narrow-minded people like Pang Hui in the Chinese army.
