Chapter 53: Finding Death
"There is no good banquet, there is no good banquet, I will return quickly." Xiahou Ba's anger came up again.
Others exchanged feelings with a bunch of Yongliang military leaders, and Xiahou Ba went to not only block others, but also make himself unhappy.
Yang Zheng was also afraid of seeing Guo Huai again, and always felt that his mind was difficult to figure out, so it was better not to dangle in front of him.
The decision was made, and Xiahou Ba left a letter, shirking the urgency of the military situation, and returned with everyone overnight.
As soon as he left the city, Guo Huai sent someone to keep him.
If Guo Huai himself hadn't come, it would have been insincere.
Out of Shangqi, Xiahou Ba's face looked better.
Yang Zheng also felt relieved.
The crowd lit torches and marched forward.
Yang Zheng followed Xiahou Ba's half of the horse, idle and bored, and said his speculation, "General, the Shu people should be in the Kou after August and September." ”
Xiahouba nodded, "The Northern Expedition of the Shu people has always been limited by grain and grass, Hanzhong is out of Longxi, the mountain roads are heavy, August and September is the time of the autumn harvest, and the Shu people send troops to feed me." ”
Autumn soldiers on the battlefield, the ancients fought mostly in autumn.
Farming in the spring, summer is too hot, winter is too cold, autumn is most suitable.
And the autumn war horse is in the best condition.
Cao Wei's national strength far surpassed that of Shu, and the standing army in Longyou was only about 20,000, and in many cases only more than 10,000.
It wasn't until Deng Ai was promoted to Nan'an Taishou that Longyou changed slightly.
"Jiang Wei is as cunning as a fox, you can't speculate with common sense, maybe you don't wait for August, you will raise troops to attack." Li Mi followed.
Why is he indispensable everywhere?
Although there is some truth, it is somewhat of a lifting bar.
With the productivity of this era, how much logistical supply is needed for a war of 10,000 people? How many people do you need?
Shu is a state with weak national strength, not that the Northern Expedition can be Northern Expedition.
"When does Li Sima think the Shu people will attack me?" Xiahou Ba turned his head to look at Li Midao.
Li Mizhi hesitated and said: "It should be, about a month or two......"
The current Xiahouba needs accurate information the most, Yang Zheng's speculation is reliable, and Li Mi is pure nonsense.
He is at that level from his brother Li Sheng, fooling Cao Shuang to cut down Shu, how high can he go?
"Hmph." Xiahou Ba's face was displeased.
Yang Zheng didn't want to offend people, so he bowed his hand to Li Mi, "One or two months are too urgent, it is difficult to send troops to the mountains in the summer, and the soldiers are hard, Jiang Wei knows the military affairs very well, and it will never be like this, and he should continue to unite with the Qiang people to attack us." ”
"Maybe Jiang Wei may not attack Longxi." He Hui, who had been silent, said.
However, when he said it, he knew that he was a little abrupt, and he surrendered his hands to Xiahou Ba and Yang Zheng one by one, "Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, everyone thinks that the Shu people will attack Longxi, but Jiang Wei does the opposite." ”
This is quite insightful.
Yang Zheng couldn't help but praise: "Captain He knows the art of war very well, and it is better to be below." ”
Xiahou Ba also nodded in agreement, "Jiang Wei is extraordinary, no matter where he attacks, we must not relax our guard." ”
"No!" Everyone said in unison.
On the way, he met a pack of wolves, saw a team of horses, and fled in a panic.
There were a few horseback bandits who had been following behind, and they seemed to be Xianbei people.
He Hui led more than a dozen horsemen to catch up directly and shot two people, so the horse bandits did not dare to follow.
Back in Di Dao City, Yang Zheng led Xiahou Ba with step armor, swords and shields, but unexpectedly, Xiahou Ba shot with a thousand people.
told Yang Zheng to step up training and not slack off.
Yang Zheng was naturally grateful.
The two of them are already grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous and the other is lost, without Xiahou Ba's care, Longxi has a place for him?
"A thousand sets, so many?" Li Mi touched his chin.
According to the military system, one lieutenant has 1,000 soldiers under his command, and this can be increased under special circumstances.
Yang Zheng explained: "The general sent 600 people last time, and the big war is imminent, and equipment is urgently needed. ”
"Captain Yang doesn't know, some time ago, the general contained two thousand Qiang soldiers, and the arsenal and ordnance were tight." Li Mi looked at Yang Zheng with a loyal face.
This expression was extremely confusing, and it made Yang Zheng think that he was really a loyal person.
As Sima of Longxi County, the arsenal is held in his hands.
Looking at his posture, it seems that he wants to make things difficult for himself.
The most unhappy thing these days is him, who is disgusted by Xiahou Ba, and has been repeatedly suppressed by Yang Zheng.
It is reasonable to be troubled now.
Yang Zheng didn't want to worry about him, his mind was all in Caohan City, so he had to carry Xiahou Ba out, "This is General Xiahou's order." ”
"Since it is the general's order, it is natural to obey it."
"Thank you, Sima."
Yang Zheng hugged his fists and thanked him, and secretly said that he finally didn't have to talk to him.
But the moment he lowered his head, a strange smile flashed on his face out of the corner of his eye, "Captain Yang is a strong soldier and has a bright future." ”
The voice was very low, and the tone was very different from his usual tone, so much so that Yang Zheng thought he had heard it wrong.
But then a chill rose behind him.
A promising future?
This meaningful sentence is like a sharp arrow piercing the most secret place in the heart.
Yang Zheng stared at Li Mi, but Li Mi acted as if he hadn't said anything.
"I also want to thank Li Sima for asking General Guo for credit." Yang Zheng said expressionlessly.
"Well said, well said." Li Mi seemed to have something else in his eyes, laughed dryly, said some more scenes, felt bored, and turned away.
Yang Zheng looked at his back and fell into deep thought.
I used to think that I could have a good relationship with him, but now it seems that I think too simply.
Maybe he was just an unintentional joke, but did he dare to listen to it as a joke?
Thinking about it carefully, he suddenly came to Longxi, got Xiahou's hegemony, and repeatedly suppressed his limelight, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, can he act as if nothing happened?
It is said that women are jealous, and men are more terrible than women when they are jealous.
And when he handed the documents to Guo Huai, he was already borrowing a knife to kill people.
Unconsciously, the relationship between the two has become like fire and water.
Being stared at by such a person, even if you don't see the clues, just a few slanderous words to the top, all the hard work along the way is in vain.
Yang Zheng's heart swept through a burst of murderous intent
In the past, Deng Yang cheated himself, it was forced by the situation, Deng Yang's level was too high, and it was normal for him to not be able to play others.
I wasn't prepared at the time.
It's different now.
Although the official rank is lower than him, in Longxi, his accumulated momentum has already surpassed him.
When he wrote to Guo Huai, he was the failure of the failures, and he didn't get the pit, but he lost the trust of Xiahouba.
Even the other generals didn't want to see him.
Shaped like a water dog.
But reservoir dogs can sometimes turn into mad dogs.
Battles in the shadows are more dangerous than battlefields.
Now that we know who the enemy is, there is no need to be soft-hearted.
Because this kind of struggle is never to the death.
With a knife in his hand, it is not difficult to get rid of him.
The hard thing is not to let others doubt yourself.
Everything should be carefully planned, think long-term, and wait for the right moment.
With Xiahouba's character, he definitely doesn't like his subordinates to be too ruthless.
Yang Zheng received the armor and ordnance, asked for more than a dozen ox carts, said goodbye to Xiahouba, and went back to Caohan.
