Chapter 723: Candidates
Zhang Xi doesn't know much about Wang Shuang.
When Wang Shuang was stationed in Meixian County, Zhang Xi was busy fighting wits and courage with Zhang He and Wang Chang, and he hadn't even seen Wang Shuang's face.
But although Zhang Xi has never seen Wang Shuang, he has played a game anyway.
Anyone who has played the game should have an impression of Wang Shuang - this is a person with a force as high as 91, but his intelligence barely reaches double digits.
This kind of person, even in the game, is not too easy to use, let alone the use of soldiers in Yongzhou now, it is not a game, and there is no chance to start again.
In addition, after Zhang Xi entered Chang'an, he also heard that Wang Shuang's combat style was the most brilliant one against Biqiu Jian, but the most cowardly was also against Wei Yan.
This gave Zhang Xi an impression - this Wang Shuang would ride alone to break through the formation.
The trick of single-horse assault formation, if used well, can naturally reap unexpected effects, such as Wang Shuang's assault on Biqiu Jian, which really bought Wei Yan enough time to crack Biqiu Jian's cavalry raid on Wei Yan's rear army and preserve its combat power.
But if it is not used well, it will be the same as Meixian County, and the defeat will be a result.
The most terrible thing is that Zhang Xi can't see that Wang Shuang is consciously choosing the timing of the solo assault, in Zhang Xi's opinion, as long as Wang Shuang is forced to be in a hurry, he will subconsciously choose to ride alone to burst into the formation, whether it can be done or not depends on the will of God.
Such a person, Zhang Xi would not dare to appoint him even if he needed a pioneer, how could he let him lead an army alone and become a commander all the way?!
But as soon as Zhang Xi refused, Wei Yan's face immediately changed suddenly, he snorted coldly, and got up to leave.
Zhang Xi was also helpless.
If you want to put it aside when you were young, Zhang Xi really wouldn't be used to this low EQ Wei Wenchang, but today. It's really different.
First of all, Zhang Xi and Wei Yan are both old.
Zhang Xi's daughters are almost in the middle of nowhere, and Wei Yan's eldest son has already begun to follow Wei Yan and experience battlefield training.
A lot of times, I really don't have that much anger, and if you can't get used to me, I have to look down on you.
Secondly, today Wei Yan can take the initiative to come to Zhang Xi and help Wang Shuang seek office, in essence, it is an attitude of taking the initiative to bow to Zhang Xi, and Wei Yan, a stinky and grumpy goods, has taken the initiative to soften, if Zhang Xi really doesn't give any face, then it is really unreasonable.
But the problem is that the person recommended by Wei Yan is really problematic.
Zhang Xi grabbed Wei Yan, who was leaving, explained in detail the predicament that Guanzhong might face now, the helplessness of using five ways to answer the envoy, and then analyzed Wang Shuang's character flaws and ability to lead troops. One thing to say, Zhang Xi can explain so much to Wei Yan, which is enough to give Wei Yan face.
And Wei Yan, in fact, is not such a person who doesn't know what to do. When Zhang Xi grabbed him and didn't let him go, his anger almost disappeared.
Today, Wei Yan came to Zhang Xi, on the one hand, to give Wang Shuang an important official, but more importantly, Wei Yan also wanted to ease the relationship with Zhang Xi.
Wei Yan is not unaware of his popularity within the Han Dynasty, and he can still talk to Zhuge Liang, Zhang Xi and a few others.
Today's Han is not the Han who lacked talent in history, Wei Yan can have nothing to fear, even if he has a bad relationship with everyone, once the Northern Expedition occurs, the imperial court will not use himself.
Today's big man, if he really wants to lead the troops to the battle, he Wei Yan is really not necessarily qualified to be the commander of one side.
Therefore, Wei Yan didn't want to make the relationship with Zhang Xi too stiff, after all, not everyone could still attach importance to his opinion and be willing to give him the opportunity to lead the troops when they couldn't get used to him.
So, Wei Yan came this time, and he did mean to be a little soft. Wei Yan felt that he personally came to ask Zhang Xi for an official, and Zhang Xi agreed, so the relationship between the two people could be eased a little.
But it didn't work out, Zhang Xi refused without hesitation.
This made Wei Yan feel very embarrassed, and he took the initiative to bow his head, this kid is still holding on?!
Originally, with Wei Yan's character, what happened after that must have been to get up and leave by himself, and he would never have anything to do with Zhang Xi from now on.
But Zhang Xi rarely grabbed Wei Yan.
This drag is actually enough to satisfy Wei Yan. It shows that Zhang Yuanchang didn't want to be too stiff with himself.
But the problem of face cannot be less, so Wei Yan still didn't give Zhang Xi a good look, and it wasn't until he listened to Zhang Xi's explanation that his face eased a little.
The situation that Yongzhou is currently encountering, he Wei Yan also knows a little, the last time Prime Minister Zhuge came to Chang'an, he Wei Yan has not seen it, so Wei Yan also knows the military crisis that Yongzhou may encounter.
If this five-way response envoy was set up to deal with Cao Wei's infiltration of guerrillas, then Wang Shuang may not be able to do it.
Wang Shuangyong is brave, and he really doesn't know anything about the art of war and strategy, which Wei Yan still knows very clearly.
Therefore, in all fairness, Wei Yan also knew that Wang Shuang was indeed not suitable to be a commander all the way.
But the question is still that sentence - where to put face?!
I, General Wei Yantangtang Zhenbei, am also the second-in-command in the Yongzhou region, and now I put down my body to ask you Zhang Xi for an official, and I don't give you any face?!
Anyway, Wei Yan just kept a straight face, looking dissatisfied.
Can. I don't say I left, I don't say I stay.
made Zhang Xi a little helpless.
After carefully thinking about it in his mind for a while, he searched for it under Wei Yan's command and among the middle and low-level officials that Wei Yan had led, and finally found a suitable candidate.
Chen Cangguan guards the general, to the pet.
This person, but the character who was written into the "Leaving the Teacher's Table" was valued by Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei at the same time, and the general who stayed to guard Chengdu during the Northern Expedition should not be a problem.
Now in this time and space, Xiang Pet did follow Wei Yan to march into Chencang Dao during the Second Northern Expedition, and listened to Wei Yan under Wei Yan, and now serves as the guard of Chencang Dao, and still belongs to Wei Yan's moderation.
In other words, Wei Yan is indeed Xiang Pet's old superior.
In addition, now Chencang Road is no longer a front line, it is just a mountain road connecting Hanzhong and Yongzhou, and there is no need to arrange a heavy garrison, it is better to transfer Xiang Chong and serve as a commander all the way.
Zhang Xi believes that it should not be a problem to be valued by Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei at the same time, and to be evaluated by Zhuge Liang as a favorite of "Sex Shujun, Xiaochang Military", and serve as a response all the way.
In this regard, Wei Yan also fell into thinking.
Strictly speaking, Xiang Pet cannot be regarded as his descendant, Xiang Pet is Xiang Lang's nephew, and his relationship with Xiang Lang is more intimate.
But today, Wei Yan's biggest purpose is to ease relations with Zhang Xi, and Xiang Chong did serve under him, and now he is still controlled by him, if you really want to say that he is Wei Yan's person, it is reasonable.
One more. Wei Yan made a comparison between Xiang Pet and Wang Shuang in his heart, although in terms of intimacy, Wei Yan is biased towards Wang Shuang, but in terms of ability, Wei Yan also has to admit that Xiang Chong is stronger than Wang Shuang.
Otherwise, during the Northern Expedition, Wei Yan would not have handed over his back road to Xiang Pet to guard, and Wei Yan still knew Xiang Pet's ability.
Although he failed to get his wish this time, he also had the grace to promote Xiang Pet, which not only eased the relationship with Zhang Xi, but also eased the relationship with Xiang Lang. It's also a windfall.
As for Wang Shuang. Follow yourself, after all, there is an opportunity to make contributions, this time it doesn't work, then next time, Wang Shuang's benefits are indispensable.
Wei Yan at least did a good job in this regard, even if he engaged in interpersonal relations and recommended officials, he knew the importance and would not be nepotistic in state affairs.
In this way, Wei Yan and Zhang Xi reached an agreement to transfer Chen Cangshou to Chang'an and serve as the envoy all the way.
As for Chen Cangdao, although it is important, it is now considered the mainland, and the garrison generals only require loyalty, and the ability requirements are not high, which makes the imperial court arrange it.
Zhang Xi calculated like this, Wu Yi led the way as the reserve, Zhang Yi was in charge of the road, Hu Fen was in charge of the road, and Xiang Pet was in charge of the road. The five-way commander is left with no one to command.
Zhang Xi pondered and pondered, but he never thought that there are still people in the army who are qualified to be the commanders of this way.
Actually, there is also a Zhuge Qian that can be used.
Zhuge Qian, although he is only a lieutenant on Cao Wei's side, but when he comes to Ji Han's side, I don't know if it's because his surname really has a bonus effect, anyway, Zhuge Qian's reputation has always been very good.
Zhang Xi sent a letter to ask Liu Yin, and even Liu Yin said that Zhuge Qian's ability and virtue were very good, especially in terms of mobile combat of small troops, Zhuge Qian was very experienced.
If Zhang Xi really wants to be transferred, Liu Yin will not dare to force him to stay, that is, in the right Fufeng area, it is troublesome for Zhang Xi to send a general with a certain ability to come over to the right Fufeng area, and it will also be heavily guarded, so it is really a bit insufficient to rely on Liu Yin and Jufu.
Zhang Xi carefully pondered the defensive posture of the right Fufeng, the main defensive strategy of the right Fufeng is to rely on the solidity of Wu Fort for defense, with Liu Yin and Jufu, the two generals who are good at defending, it should not be a problem in defense.
However, after all, their opponent is Guo Huai of Wuguan, Guo Huai's ability must be better than Liu Yin and Jufu, once they hold it for a long time, Zhang Xi does not dare to guarantee that these two will definitely be able to hold it.
At this time, a general who can command mobile operations and respond to the Wu Bao group back and forth is particularly important.
From this point of view, Zhuge Qian really can't be transferred away from the right Fufeng.
Can. Except for Zhuge Qian, who else is qualified to answer the rest of the way?!
Zhang Xi is really worried, and even he has the heart, if he really can't do it, let Jiang Wan serve as the envoy Jiang Wan in history, and he once led the Northern Expedition.
Although it didn't achieve any decent results, it didn't suffer heavy losses, and it was decent.
This shows that Jiang Wan also has a certain ability to command his soldiers in battle.
However, when I thought of Jiang Wan's appointment as the answering envoy, the mountains of official documents on my hand. Zhang Xi has a headache when he thinks about it.
In the end, Zhang Yi came forward and recommended a talented person to help Zhang Xi solve this problem.
And the talent recommended by Zhang Yi is none other than the Han Shangqi Guard, General Yamen, Hao Zhao.
