From Xuchang to Xiangcheng, if you march quickly, you can get there in about five days. But along the way, Chen Tai was stunned for seven days.

Guo Huai was confused.

Do you Chen Tai want to attack Xiangcheng?!

The march is so grinding, are you afraid that Zhang Wei of Xiangcheng has not found out about your march, or are you afraid that Zhang Wei will not have time to arrange the defense of Xiangcheng?!

In the face of Guo Huai's questioning, Chen Tai also has his own reasons.

Great Wei and Shu thieves can be found in several battles, Shu thieves are cunning and changeable, make good use of all kinds of ambushes, I am more cautious in my march, it's not a bad thing, right?!

Moreover, although there are only 5,000 people in Xiangcheng today, Jiaxian, north of Xiangcheng, is stationed with 10,000 people under Wang Ping's department.

Although our forces are superior, we also need to prevent this army from crossing the Rushui and copying our back road. Walking a little slower isn't a problem, is it?!

Be careful, don't capsize in the gutter, isn't that the most important thing?!

Chen Tai's reasons are a set, but in the eyes of Guo Huai, a famous general who has accumulated years, it is really not a reason. I knew that Wang Pingjun was on the flanks of Xiangcheng, and I didn't choose a quick way to fight, so slow, be careful.

When you get to Xiangcheng, maybe Wang Pingdu of Jiaxian County has already led reinforcements in place, and he is still waiting for you to attack?!

Guo Huai understood that in fact, Chen Tai had no intention of storming Xiangcheng at all, he just wanted to deal with Sima Yi's order.

Can. Who made Chen Tai the coach, and he Guo Huai had to be restrained by Chen Tai, a young man.

The situation is like this, and sometimes, it is pointless for Guo Huai to argue with Chen Tai, a junior.

You said be careful, be careful, who made your father Chen Qun.

If Chen Tai makes a mistake, at least his father Chen Qun will have a backdrop, but if Guo Huai makes a mistake again. Well, in this Great Wei court, I'm afraid there are few people who will speak for themselves.

After all, a few years ago, Guo Huai lost too much, and he was not surnamed Cao, without Cao Zhen's treatment to be a Runan Taishou, Guo Huai felt aggrieved, but in Cao Rong's view, Guo Huai was already very valued by Guo Huai.

Only. Whatever!!

Now Guo Huai, if you let him be ordered to do it, he will most likely not refuse, after all, he is deeply favored by Dawei, and he still has this bit of discipline.

But you expect him to be able to exert the kind of subjective initiative he had in Liangzhou, and lay down the prestige of being similar to the "god of heaven" when he was in Liangzhou. Guo Huai can only say that he is tired.

can not be rotten until now, but Guo Huai's character does not allow him to do this.

On the other hand, Zhang Wei is here, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels that Wei Jun's actions are a little weird.

Zhang Wei is different from Guo Huai, Guo Huai has been going down step by step over the years, and now he is directly thrown by Cao Rong in Runan, and he can't even think of it.

As for Zhang Wei, although he has also adhered to Fancheng for ten years, he has not moved his nest, but Zhang Wei's official position has been rising all the way.

Moreover, judging from the location where Zhang Wei stayed, whether it was Fancheng or Xiangcheng, they were both at an important strategic node, which was completely different from Guo Huai's treatment of staying in Runan and stocking.

Therefore, Zhang Wei is now very subjective, and he sent a lot of scouts to reconnoiter the marching speed and marching route of Chen Tai's troops, trying to figure out what the purpose of this army's procrastination and march was.

But unfortunately, Zhang Wei really didn't find anything strange, as if this army was just marching normally at such a speed.

This is a bit unreasonable. Aren't you here to attack Xiangcheng?!

Zhang Wei couldn't figure it out, but at the same time, Zhang Wei knew that no more than a hundred miles away from him was the Shudi army led by Wu Yi, and their destination was also Xiangcheng In order to avoid the possibility that Wu Yi did not know the specific situation ahead and missed the fighter, Zhang Wei immediately sent someone to Wu Yi to send a military report, detailing the current situation in Xiangcheng.

After Wu Yi received the military report from Zhang Wei, he thought for a while alone and immediately called his three deputy generals to discuss it.

Wu Yi led a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses out of the Baochu Road to enter Guanzhong, and then entered Wuguan from Guanzhong to support Luoyang.

Among them, there are 20,000 soldiers and horses, which are the soldiers of Hanzhong County under Wu Yi, but there are still 10,000 soldiers and horses. It is the Southern Army of the Great Han.

The Southern Army of the Han Dynasty, like the Northern Army, was also an elite unit trained by Zhuge Liang.

But unlike the Northern Army, the Northern Army's duty is to fight abroad, but the Southern Army's duty is to defend the Son of Heaven and not leave the capital easily.

However, this time, the Southern Army of the Great Han Dynasty left Chengdu and arrived in Hanzhong in advance, and under the unified leadership of Wu Yi, they marched east to support Luoyang.

The reason is still on the question of whether the emperor of the Han Dynasty should move the capital.

Now the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty has reached the land of Heluo, and it has reached the hinterland of the Central Plains, but the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is still staying in Chengdu. This is not good for the prestige of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Chan is different from Liu Bei, Liu Bei is the emperor immediately, even if Liu Bei stays in Chengdu, Zhuge Liang leads the troops all the way to the East China Sea, that is Liu Bei knows people and trusts Zhuge Liang.

But Liu Chan inherited the entire country from his father's hands, no matter how well Zhuge Liang fought in front, it was also Zhuge Liang's credit, no one would say that this was Liu Chan's wisdom and martial arts.

It's not that Liu Chan doubts Zhuge Liang, but that Jun has no prestige and can't stand.

This is not only understood by Liu Chan, but also by Zhuge Liang, so there is Zhuge Liang's proposal to move the capital, one of the purposes of which is to give Liu Chan a sense of existence and establish enough prestige.

Liu Chan needs to establish his own prestige, but the matter of moving the capital is too involved, even if Zhuge Liang finally compromised and adopted the excuse of letting Liu Chan visit Chang'an, it was still strongly opposed by the local faction in Shu.

The matter of moving the capital can't be solved for a while, and Cao Wei has begun to counterattack Luoyang again, in this case, it should be no problem to send the Southern Army of the Han Dynasty to fight on behalf of the Son of Heaven, right?!

Although the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty also belongs to the Son of Heaven's pro-army, its own duty is to "fight outside, and the Northern Army will go out", and the imperial power on its body is imprinted, but it is not heavy.

But the southern army is different, the southern army is always guarding the capital of the capital at any time, unless the Son of Heaven has a clear edict, otherwise the southern army can easily not leave the capital, and the southern army can better reflect the emperor's will.

Therefore, Adou also made a lot of determination this time, sent the southern army out, handed it over to Commander Wu Yi, and rushed to Luoyang. Since you are not allowed to move the capital, and it is not good to blatantly patrol Chang'an, then I, the son of heaven, sent my own personal guard army to fight and use it to establish prestige, you can't object to this, right?!

If anyone objects again, the nature will be completely different, don't really think that Adou is easy to talk and won't kill people.

As for why the number of troops sent this time is 10,000, instead of the total strength of the Southern Army of 20,000. Adou has to keep some people around, what if there are still some ill-intentioned people in Yizhou?!

To this end, Adou sent Jiang Wei as the chief general of the Southern Army and Wen Qin as the deputy general of the Southern Army, leading 10,000 soldiers of the Southern Army, controlled by Wu Yi, and together with Hanzhong reinforcements, rushed to aid Luoyang.

said that it was controlled by Wu Yi, but Wu Yi actually knew that the Southern Army had its own system and a special identity, and it was impossible for him to truly control such an army.

What's more, Wu Yi's own identity is not much better, he is half a relative, and his sister is the concubine of the dynasty.

Although the previous generation of the Han court had always been harmonious under the management of the Empress Dowager Bu, Concubine Wu did not have any real power in the palace. This is also the reason why Wu Yi can now serve as the Taishou of Hanzhong and lead the troops alone.

Otherwise, in terms of the "reputation" and "status" of the word "foreign relative" in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang can use him Wu Yicai.

Therefore, even if it is to avoid suspicion, there is a special military situation in the army, Wu Yi generally does not make his own decisions directly, and must find Jiang Wei and Wen Qin to discuss countermeasures together.

As for the last lieutenant Chen Shi. Well, this is Wu Yi's old partner in the Hanzhong Army, and he was also pulled by Wu Yi to make up the numbers.

After Wu Yi showed Jiang Wei and Wen Qin the military report from Zhang Wei in front of him, he began to ask the two of them if they had any opinions.

Of course, the two have opinions, especially Jiang Wei.

This expedition of the Southern Army is the second time that the Southern Army has taken the initiative since the establishment of the Southern Army. The last time he attacked, it was Jiang Wei who led the troops to quell the rebellion of Huang Yuan in Hanjia County.

But that time to send troops, Jiang Wei almost pushed all the way, and when he arrived in Hanjia County, he only went through a formality, and as soon as the troops came to the city, the defenders in the city sent Huang Yuan out and surrendered.

Jiang Wei didn't know whether he was leading the troops into battle or leading the troops to march.

Therefore, this battle is strictly speaking, the first battle of the Southern Army.

Jiang Wei has been holding back and wanting to show his talent for a long time.

Therefore, Jiang Wei immediately offered advice to Wu Yi and said, "Wei Yuan led the troops and horses of his headquarters to make a detour from Wuyang County and attack Xuchang, and it was decided to fight a battle." ”

After hearing this, Wu Yi was directly startled. Good fellow, young man, bold enough.

But think about it. Wu Yi suddenly felt that this thing was not impossible
