Chapter 899: Ji Han's Calculations

Really, Guo Huai will really "thank you", "thank you" Sima Yi's family!!

From a martial guard to a guard, it seems that Guo Huai has been promoted. But Guo Huai really wanted to say that Lao Tzu's previous official position was the history of Liangzhou!!

In the first battle in Yongliang, he failed to stop the Shu thieves and lost Liangzhou, Guo Huai had nothing to say, after all, he was defeated.

But the problem is that after that, Guo Huai's title of Liangzhou Assassin was not revoked by the imperial court, even if he guarded the Wuguan for five years later, although his military position was only General Jianwei, his official position was still the nominal Liangzhou Assassin History.

Now it's okay, from the history of Liangzhou Thorn directly to the Taishou of Runan County, how can you say that Guo Huai can "thank" Sima Yi.

The edict of the Son of Heaven made it impossible for Guo Huai to have any complaints about the Son of Heaven, but Guo Huai had no good impression of the person who "recommended" him.

But Sima Yi was also wronged in this matter. He just recommended Guo Huai to go to Runan to block Lu Xun, but he didn't say that Guo Huai should be the Taishou of Runan.

This matter is really not his Sima Yi's pot, Sima Yi originally thought that the Son of Heaven would be transferred at the same level and give Guo Huai the title of Yuzhou Assassin.

Who knows what the Son of Heaven thinks, and suddenly demoted Guo Huai from a state assassin to a county guard.

As for Cao Ei, you really can't blame Cao Ei.

After all, Guo Huai shocked Liangzhou back then, and the matter of the Liangzhou Qianghu alien race calling "gods" was a little too far away for Cao Rong.

In Cao Ei's view, Guo Huai, the assassin of Liangzhou, was defeated from Liangzhou to Yongzhou, and from Yongzhou to Guannei to tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that the ministers of the court and the central government thought that Guo Huai's military talent was outstanding, Cao Rong was a little suspicious, how Guo Huai got to this position.

As for why Guo Huai was not appointed as the assassin of Yuzhou, it was because there was already someone in the assassin history of Yuzhou, and it was Cao Xiu's official position.

Cao Ei has now deprived Cao Xiu of his military power, and if he deprives him of his official position, it will be somewhat unsympathetic, so Cao Ei will not immediately appoint Guo Huai as the assassin of Yuzhou out of consideration for appeasing Cao Xiu.

That's why Guo Huai was appointed as the Taishou of Runan.

In fact, Cao Ei's idea is also simple, now don't give Guo Huai the position of assassinating history, wait until Guo Huai really blocks Lu Xun, and at the same time, Cao Heng's own side appeases Cao Xiu, and arranges other official positions for Cao Xiu, and then put Guo Huai up.

Of course, this is Cao Rong's inner thoughts, the heart of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to be directly exposed in front of the courtiers, so neither Guo Huai nor Sima Yi expected such a result.

The result is already like this, what can Guo Huai do.

In the end, he has been a courtier of Cao Wei for many years, a standard old minister of the Three Dynasties, Guo Huai can't have any thoughts because of this grievance, since the Son of Heaven has been so appointed, then he Guo Huai can only take office immediately.

After arranging all the affairs, Cao Ei, under the urging of Chen Qun, finally began to prepare for the move to Yecheng.

It is not so simple for the emperor to move, not to mention that there are so many civil and military officials accompanying him, and there are many things to prepare, so in all probability, Cao Rong can leave after the beginning of spring next year, which is already considered efficient.

Therefore, at least until this year's winter passes, Cao Rong will still stay in Luoyang.

At the same time, Chang'an and Ji Han in Yongzhou were also summarizing the end of the Third Northern Expedition.

Compared with Dongwu and Cao Wei, Ji Han's troubles are also indispensable.

Because of the death of the general Guan Yu, the Third Northern Expedition, which was originally going well, had to come to an abrupt end.

When Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi, who were on the battlefield of Tongguan, received the military report from Xu Shu, they could only reluctantly withdraw from Tongguan and return to Chang'an.

There is no way, the main Nanyang Corps has been withdrawn, and relying on the Yongliang Corps at hand, it is impossible to conquer Tongguan alone and enter the division.

This Northern Expedition can only end like this.

After returning to Chang'an, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi each have a lot of troubles to deal with.

On Zhang Xi's side, he has to have a headache about the resumption of production in the entire Guanzhong, as well as the problem of re-arming.

The first battle of Guanzhong almost destroyed the two most elite areas in Guanzhong, and these two places urgently need to resume production, otherwise they will not be able to catch up with the spring ploughing of the next year.

Originally, there were more than 40,000 county soldiers in Yongzhou, but in the end there were only about 15,000 people left, which can be said to be a heavy loss, and they were a little unable to take care of local defense.

In this case, Zhang Xi must rebuild the Yongzhou County Army as soon as possible.

Although let's say it, Si Li's situation is not much better than that of Guanzhong, and he should not take the initiative to provoke a war anymore, but in case Cao Rong's brain is convulsed and he has to take the initiative to attack, then Yongzhou's defense is also a big problem.

Therefore, on the one hand, Zhang Xi asked Zhao Yun to lead the Liangzhou Army to temporarily station in the Zuo Fengyi area to assist in the defense of Yongzhou, and on the other hand, he hurriedly discussed with Chen Yi and Fei Yi how to quickly resume production and re-recruit Yongzhou soldiers.

Originally, these things should have been asked to Jiang Wan, after all, Jiang Wan was the outside, and he knew the situation in this regard very clearly, but unfortunately, Jiang Wan now followed Zhang Fei's army to Nanyang and has not come back yet.

Therefore, Zhang Xi has no tools to use, so he can only support himself.

As for Zhuge Liang. His trouble is even bigger than Zhang Xi's.

Zhang Xi, as the assassin of Yongzhou, only needs to consider one acre and three points of land in Yongzhou, while Zhuge Liang has to consider the national military and political issues.

died of illness, it was Guan Yu, his identity was not only the righteous brother of the first emperor, but also the general of the Han Dynasty, the fake Jieyue, and the governor of Jingzhou's military and political affairs.

He died of illness, how should Jingzhou arrange?!

With the end of the Northern Expedition, the Jingzhou Army can directly retreat to Xiangyang and even Jiangling, but how to arrange and withdraw the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty and the Yizhou Army is also something that needs to be coordinated.

Even if these things are arranged, Zhuge Liang still has to think about how to contact Dongwu.

The affairs of Jiangxia County are excusable, everyone has a tacit understanding with each other, and at most they pretend to be talking about it afterwards, and Zhuge Liang will not go into it.

However, Eastern Wu sent troops to invade Wuling County and Lingling County, and the most important thing was to send troops to attack Xiangyang and Jiangling, and Zhuge Liang still needed an explanation from Eastern Wu.

Even if it's just a nominal statement, this statement must be there, otherwise where is the majesty of the Great Han?!

Of course, Zhuge Liang didn't say that he had to turn his face and start a war with the Eastern Wu side.

After all, the Han Dynasty has just ended a big war, and he doesn't have enough confidence to set off another battle against Wu, so Zhuge Liang also needs to seriously consider where the scale of the counterattack against the Eastern Wu side is.

In the current situation, Zhuge Liang also knows that the strategy of "Donghe Sun Quan" proposed by him in his early years has become more and more unrealistic.

But if he can't "make peace" with Sun Quan, what kind of diplomatic strategy will he adopt towards Dongwu in the future, especially if he can't let Dongwu and Cao Wei hook up together, this is also where Zhuge Liang needs to weigh seriously.

These things are quite troublesome, and Zhuge Liang can't sleep well all night because of this.

Of course, there are troublesome factors in this, but more factors are that Zhuge Liang has a strong sense of responsibility, and he wants to come up with the best solution for these things, so he has been thinking back and forth and hesitating.

In Zhang Xi's view, this is completely tossing himself.

Originally, Zhang Xi didn't know that Zhuge Liang was tossing like this, after all, Zhang Xi himself was a little involved in Yongzhou's defense and government affairs, and he didn't have time to Guan Xing Zhuge Liang was thinking about something.

However, I can't stand Zhang Xi's daughter who has an elbow turned out, Xiao Xuan'er found that her lover seems to be getting thinner and thinner recently, and she seized the opportunity to ask and found out that Zhuge Qiao has been helping Zhuge Liang deal with various government affairs during this time.

The little girl felt sorry for her lover, so she thought about begging her father to let her father give an idea, although her elbow was always turned out, but her trust in her father was almost blind, she really thought that her father's ability was greater than that of the big man.

Zhang Xi heard his daughter comment on himself like this, really, he felt flattered, and he really didn't dare to compare with that monster.

But at the same time, Zhang Xi also thinks that it is necessary to talk to Zhuge Liang.

Really, if everyone dies and you Zhuge Liang want to support it alone, then Zhang Xi has no opinion, but everyone is still here.

Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Jiang Wan are in Nanyang, Fa Zheng, Li Yan is in Hanzhong, even if you don't count Zhang Xi, the crossing household, Chang'an also has Zhao Yun, the general of Wei, and Fei Yi and Huang Quan, how come it is your turn Zhuge Liang to be extremely worried alone? !

The impact of Guan Yu's death is how big a person can think of, such an important thing, you Zhuge Liang can think about it alone, it's over?! I really don't need to refer to the opinions of the ministers in the DPRK and China?!

The current Prime Minister Zhuge is not the prime minister in history who "is one in the palace and in the house", so there is no need to force himself to death like this.

Therefore, Zhang Xi took the initiative to find Zhuge Liang and proposed that he convene the important ministers of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an to discuss state affairs.
