In the wide military tent, in sharp contrast to Cao Wei's monarchs, the faces of the Han monarchs and ministers were filled with joyful smiles.

This can't be blamed on the poor qi cultivation skills of the Han monarchs, it can really be said that there has been good news recently.

Before the official expedition, everyone expected that under the surprise, the Longyou region would fall into a turbulent situation in the face of the arrival of a large number of Han troops.

But no matter how unpredictable they were, they categorically did not expect that after they led the army out of Qishan, before they had engaged the enemy, the three counties of Longyou were directly ordered to surrender.

You must know that there are only five counties in Longyou.

In the case that the three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui and Anding among the five counties all surrendered, only Guangwei and Longxi counties in the Longyou region resisted the city, and they were not yet included in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

The soldiers won the land of the three counties without blood, how could such a big victory not make the Han monarchs and ministers not happy?

Especially Liu Bei.

When Zhuge Liang explained "Longzhong Pair" to him when he visited the thatched house three times, he once mentioned a sentence: "The general led the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan, who dared not eat pot pulp to welcome the general?" ”

At that time, although Liu Bei admired Zhuge Liang's strategic concept very much, and looked forward to that scene in his heart, Liu Bei also knew in his heart that it was extremely difficult to do this.

The human heart is sneaky, if there is no general trend, how can there be such a scene that can go down in history?

For more than ten years, the general trend has been on the Cao family.

But I didn't expect that today, more than ten years later, he really did this.

There is no Han emperor who will not be happy about such a thing, because it means that the destiny of the Han Dynasty is still there.

Liu Bei in history never waited for the opportunity to "lead the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan" in his life.

Not to mention the joy of getting the "rice pot pulp welcome".

I think that Liu Bei must have regretted this incident before he died in history.

But Liu Bei in this world has no such regret and resentment at all.

Looking at the courtiers in the tent, Liu Bei said loudly: "Now that our army has begun to occupy Tianshui County, in order to prevent the thief army from leading the crowd to help, I want to let a general go to Jieting to guard.

I don't know which Aiqing would like to go? ”

Joy returns to joy, but Liu Bei has been up and down for decades, and his heart has long been mature.

I will not delay or despise the right thing because of joy.

After hearing Liu Bei's inquiry, all the Hanchen in the military tent had a look of eagerness on their faces.

Most of the Hanchen in the military tent are people who are familiar with military strategy.

Even if they don't know military strategy, there are still Mi Yang.

As early as when Mi Yang was still in Yangping Pass, he had told the public about the importance of the street pavilion to the Longyou battlefield.

More than once.

As the No. 1 general in today's middle school, who would not pay attention to even what he has to pay attention to?

Moreover, judging from the map, the street pavilion does play a vital role in the current Longyou battlefield.

In terms of topography, the street pavilion is roughly located at the junction of Tianshui County and Anding, which is an important hub for Guanzhong to enter Longyou.

Of course, if this is the case, it will not make you Hanchen eager to try.

Even if the geographical location of the street pavilion is important, if the situation in the three counties is stable, the street pavilion located at the junction of Tianshui County and Anding County does not need to be guarded by generals.

Because it was impossible for the Wei army to cross most of Anding County to compete for the street pavilion at the risk of the grain road.

But the current situation in the three counties is actually not stable.

The main reason why the three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding surrendered was that the Taishou and important officials of the three counties fled directly after hearing the news of the arrival of the Han army.

As a result, the counties of the three counties were in a state of confusion.

Therefore, the elders of most of the counties in the three counties, in order to protect the territory and the people, could only take the initiative to send representatives to find Liu Bei and express their willingness to surrender.

But it was only a part of the county seats, and there were still some counties in the three counties that were unwilling to surrender to the Han army.

For example, Jiang Wei, a young general in the Han army, wanted to go to Ji County to pick up his mother not long ago, but he had just arrived in the city, but he was shot away by the Wei army in the city.

Among the three counties, there are many counties like Ji County.

So in essence, the surrender of the three counties is not reliable, and this surrender is at most guaranteed, and the three counties will not take the initiative to attack the Han army for a period of time.

However, this guarantee may be repeated at any time according to the changing situation.

This is also the reason why Liu Bei would rather lead his army to camp outside the city than lead his army into the county seat.

So in this situation, the task of going to guard the street pavilion is very fragrant.

Because when the three counties were not completely and sincerely, the street pavilion was bound to attract a large number of Wei troops to fight for it because of its importance.

As soon as there are more Wei troops, won't there be more military achievements?

What's more, the current Han army is firmly in control of the initiative, which means that they will definitely arrive at Jieting and set up camp before the Wei army.

This is a big advantage for the defending side.

In this case, what Hanchen would not be impressed by the matter of guarding the street pavilion?

Only Ma Chao, who was sitting in a corner, did not have waves on his face.

Anyway, he knew this kind of thing, and it wouldn't be his turn no matter what.

Even if he was able to go out with the army this time and participate in the deliberations in the tent, it was already a rare luck.

In the case of Ma Chao's silence, the only military general with the highest status in the tent was Zhao Yun.

Not long ago, due to the victory of the Han army in the Battle of Nanzhong, Liu Bei took the opportunity to reward some of the generals who participated in the Battle of Nanzhong.

As the deputy general in the Battle of Nanzhong, Zhao Yun's official position has been jumped.

From the general of Zhengnan, he was directly promoted to the rear general.

Officially entered the ranks of heavy generals.

Zhao Yun, who was dressed in silver armor, was the first to rank among the ministers, and bowed to Liu Bei and said:

"I want to go!"

Zhao Yun still spoke so concisely.

But his three words give people an inexplicable sense of security.

Seeing that Zhao Yun took the lead in asking for his life, the smile on Liu Bei's face was even worse.

Zhao Yun has a calm and serious personality, and he is indeed very suitable for leading the army to garrison the street pavilion.

But it's a pity that he has other arrangements for Zhao Yun.

Liu Bei smiled and said to Zhao Yunyan: "Zilong, don't be anxious, I will be of great use to you." ”

Hearing Liu Bei say this, Zhao Yun was a little surprised.

After seeing Zhao Yun's surprised look, Liu Bei continued: "Longxi, the two counties of Guangwei are fighting against each other, and I will lead troops to fight against them in the near future.

After my army leaves Tianshui, Tianshui County needs a general to sit in the rear. ”

After Liu Bei explained, Zhao Yun reacted.

At the moment, the most important thing for the Han army was to capture the two counties of Longxi and Guangwei as soon as possible, so that Liu Bei could further advance north without worries and recover the entire Liangzhou.

But once the main force of the Han army went to attack the two counties of Longxi and Guangwei, two important things would appear in front of the Han army.

One is to send troops to guard the street pavilion and prevent Wei reinforcements from entering through the street pavilion.

The other is that the back road of the Han army in Tianshui County also needs to be guarded by a general.

Because the back road of the Han army in Tianshui County is where the grain road of the Han army is located, and Tianshui County is full of plains as far as the eye can see, which is very conducive to the gallop of the Wei army.

For any army, the grain route is a vital lifeline, and it is impossible for Liu Bei not to send troops in advance to guard against it.

In a way, the importance of Tianshui County's defense line is still looming above the street pavilion defense line.

And Tianshui is not dangerous to guard, which is much more difficult to defend than the street pavilion.

Because of this, Liu Bei has long made a decision in his heart about the general who guards Tianshui, and he doesn't want to discuss it like Jieting.

That candidate was Zhao Yun from the beginning.

After all, the ace generals should naturally be used in more important and difficult places to defend.

And Liu Bei asked Zhao Yun to undertake this task, in addition to Zhao Yun's solemn and calm style suitable for this task, but also because Zhao Yun is the best general in cavalry combat among the generals he can trust at the moment.

At present, there is an elite Qiang cavalry army in the Han army, and Liu Bei needs Zhao Yun to lead this cavalry army to resist the harassment of the Wei cavalry on the grain road in the coming day.

After making arrangements for Zhao Yun, Liu Bei looked at Ma Chao again.

"Meng Qi, you will stay and assist Zilong and guard the grain road for our army!"

Suddenly hearing Liu Bei's arrangement, Ma Chao was quite surprised for a while.

I didn't expect Liu Bei to think about using him.

In addition to being excited, Ma Chao hurriedly got up and bowed to Liu Bei and said, "The minister receives the order." ”

After Ma Chao received the order, Zhao Yun naturally took over the task.

The reason why Liu Bei asked Ma Chao to stay and assist Zhao Yun was that he wanted to give Ma Chao a chance to make meritorious contributions.

Second, Ma Chao is very familiar with the terrain of Tianshui, and he himself has great prestige in the Qiangqi cavalry, and with his assistance to Zhao Yun, he can ensure the safety of the Han army's grain route to the greatest extent.

As for why not let Ma Chao take on this heavy responsibility alone?

In addition to Ma Chao's lack of calm personality and trust problems, because Ma Chao's serious injuries have not completely healed, there is no way to carry out high-intensity cavalry attacks alone.

Therefore, placing him in the position of assistant is an arrangement that can take into account all aspects.

After deciding on the person to guard the grain road, Liu Bei looked at the generals present again.

Under Liu Bei's gaze, another general quickly came out and bowed to Liu Bei:

"I'm willing to go to the Garrison Street Pavilion!"

The general who came out at the moment was Liu Feng, the general of Zhengbei.

Liu Feng Fangcai wanted to come up with Mao Sui's self-recommendation, but Zhao Yun took the lead.

Fortunately, Liu Bei had other arrangements for Zhao Yun.

After Zhao Yun was arranged by Liu Bei to stay behind to guard the grain road, Liu Feng reacted in hindsight that what he should have fought for most at the beginning should be this important task.

Because it is obvious that in Liu Bei's heart, the task of guarding Tianshui is more important than the task of guarding the street pavilion.

To be honest, Liu Feng forgot that he still had this heavy responsibility at the beginning.

This is not only the case for Liu Feng, but also for most of the other Hanchens.

There is no way, Mi Yang has always instilled the importance of the street pavilion in everyone, and under the influence of Mi Yang's prestige, many people subconsciously pay attention to the street pavilion.

However, since Liu Bei's Sacred Heart dictatorship has decided on the candidate for the general guarding Tianshui, then he must fight for the candidate to guard the street pavilion next.

Seeing that Liu Feng couldn't wait to stand up from the ranks of the ministers, Liu Bei was not surprised at all.

He knew that since Liu Feng was released by him, he had been thinking about establishing meritorious deeds to wash away his past mistakes.

The most important thing is that he can release Liu Feng, so he is naturally willing to give Liu Feng this opportunity.

When the ministers saw that Liu Feng took the initiative to stand up, many people's faces gradually calmed down and asked for their lives.

The same is true for Wei Yan.

Wei Yan is currently the general of Zhenbei, and his rank as a famous general in the Han Dynasty changes according to the actual situation.

During the war, Liu Feng's general of Zhengbei was ranked above Wei Yan's general of Zhenbei.

In public and private, he is not suitable to come out and compete with Liu Feng at this time.

And if Wei Yan would be afraid of this, what about others?

Liu Bei looked at Liu Feng standing in front of him, in private he was Liu Feng's father, but in official affairs, he was Liu Feng's monarch.

"Are you sure you can defend the street pavilion for me?"

Liu Bei asked.

After listening to Liu Bei's inquiry, Liu Feng couldn't wait to raise his head and replied:

"Your Majesty doesn't see the Sword Pavilion?"

Liu Feng's answer completely showed his confidence.

And his words also caused everyone in the tent to nod frequently.

After all, Liu Feng is not a horse, and he has never had any military exploits.

Even if you don't mention the military exploits made before being imprisoned, let's just say that when he guarded the Sword Pavilion before, Liu Feng also guarded the Sword Pavilion as impregnable.

With such a good record, Liu Feng's sentence is quite convincing.

Even Liu Bei didn't have anything to hesitate about.

The street pavilion and the sword pavilion are in general, both of them are dangerous to defend, and Liu Feng is a person who knows the soldiers, so it is normal to send Liu Feng to guard the street pavilion.

Liu Bei quickly settled the matter.

"Okay, since Qing took the initiative to ask for his life, then I will let Qing lead 10,000 troops and go to guard the street pavilion."

After giving this order, Liu Bei thought that the street pavilion might be a good place to brush up on his military exploits, so he went on to point out:

"Deng Ai, Ding Feng, Zhang Wei!"

Liu Bei singled out the names of the three generals in a row.

These three generals are all Mi Yang's henchmen and favorite generals.

After hearing Liu Bei's call, Deng Ai and the three of them hurriedly walked out of the ranks of the ministers and bowed to Liu Bei:

"The minister is here!"

After Deng Ai and the three of them were summoned, Liu Bei said to the three of them:

"I ordered the three of you to be the deputy generals of the general of Zhengbei, and to guard the street pavilion together with the general of Zhengbei."

Liu Bei's words made Deng Ai and the others overjoyed.

This is a great opportunity that fell out of thin air!

Liu Bei is really a good father with a bowl of water, not only thinking of Liu Feng, but also of the subordinates of the "righteous son".

Deng Ai and the three of them did not guess wrong, the reason why Liu Bei wanted to add the three of them to Liu Feng's army was not because he thought that the three of them had to fight in Jieting.

Liu Bei's main purpose was for the three of them to fight with the help of the street pavilion and continue to accumulate capital for future promotions.

Not to mention anything else, when it comes to cultivating subordinates, Liu Bei can be said to be familiar with it.

After finalizing the list of garrison street pavilions, Liu Bei issued an order for the whole army to march to Longxi County three days later.

I heard that Longxi Taishou You Chu is a hard bone, but he wants to go to a good meeting for a while.

After the dissolution of the council, the generals left the army.

And the three of Deng Ai, who were also in the same group, soon gathered together.

They gathered together to discuss something.

Since they are all going to go out with Liu Feng to the street pavilion, should Jiang Wei bring them?

Such an opportunity, not taking the initiative to bring the general's "male pet", it doesn't seem good.

Yesterday's second chapter.

In history, the reason why Zhuge Liang did not arrange for Wei Yan and Wu Yi to guard the street pavilion was not only because he wanted to cultivate Ma Yan, but also because these two generals had a more important place to go.

The reason why the street pavilion is famous is that it was all made by Ma Yan, which does not mean that the Han army needs to defend this place.
