Chapter 354: Longzhong's Strategy
Xiahou Nan cheered up his spirits, ordered someone to bathe and change clothes, and when he finished washing, Xiahou Ba invited Cao Tai to discuss together.
Cao Taiyan said: "This time the transfer of troops, Zilin has hurt me, if it weren't for the intercession of the generals, he was almost beheaded by Zhang Liao, and now in Xuchang, he is also guilty." ”
Xiahou Nan smiled bitterly: "You just made a false alarm, what is it compared to my loss of hundreds of millions of property?" ”
Xiahou Ba asked: "I don't know how much Zilin's property in Ye County has hidden, and in time, I can secretly dig it up and transport it back." ”
"Where is the treasure of gold and silver?" Xiahou Nan sighed: "My treasury is full of money tickets!" Ye County transactions, for convenience, everyone uses Hanyuan money tickets, now the bills are burned, Hanyuan money is also turned into ashes, this death has no evidence, empty words, all turned into smoke clouds. ”
Xiahou Ba was taken aback: "No wonder everyone wants to find you desperately." ”
Cao Tai said dissatisfied: "It's all because of your ability, you have to marry Guan Yu, isn't this self-inflicted?" ”
"That's what I can afford him!" Xiahou Nan said angrily: "What is Guan Yu's capital pride? Zhang Fei also snatched my sister's ......"
Xiahou Ba persuaded: "Okay, the two of you don't have to fight anymore, the big war is about to start, now is the time to make meritorious contributions, you and I will work together." ”
Xiahou Nan said angrily: "What Zhongquan said is extremely true, the two setbacks made me suddenly wake up, the eldest husband should be famous for future generations, and money is really something outside the body. Since the will of heaven does not ask me to make money, it must want me to lead the army to destroy the enemy, and we will go to see the son of the world now. ”
Cao Tai asked, "Do you have a plan for where you are going?" ”
Xiahou Nan said: "Naturally, I went to Kunyang to serve my life, Guan Yu dared to underestimate me, and I wanted to defeat him with my own hands." ”
Cao Tai smiled and said: "The matter of Ye County, the losses of each family are attributed to the elder brother, if it weren't for the protection of the prince, you would have been questioned by the teachers of each family, and the Central Plains has no place to stand!" ”
"Is that so?" Xiahou Nan was taken aback and said angrily: "These people who are mercenary, if I didn't help me when I made money, where would they come from?" This loss, who can compare with me, and even have the face to settle accounts with me, how can this be reasonable! ”
Xiahou said domineeringly: "Guan Yu wants to settle accounts with you by name, and the prince of the world will do his best to guarantee it, if you go to the front of the battle, you are only afraid of being killed by him, do you know about Yan Liang and Wen Chou?" ”
"Uh, this ......" Xiahou Nan unconsciously touched his neck and said: "In this case, then go to Huainan, my father ......"
"I'm not going!" Cao Tai immediately refused: "My father has told me that if I want to command the army again, I must not be under his command, so as not to be criticized." ”
Xiahou Nan looked at Xiahou Ba: "Zhongquan, you just said that you want to ask for your life to go on the expedition, what are your plans?" ”
Xiahou Ba said with a smile: "The two of you don't know, my father is fighting with Liu Qi in Guanzhong, and Xun Junshi is worried about the emptiness of Chang'an, so he sent a letter asking for help. Now Guan Yu's army is pressing, and the prince is worried that there is no one to lead the army, so I will go to Guanzhong, and there is a lot to be done. ”
"Guanzhong is good!" Cao Tai nodded happily and said, "I was about to fight Liu Qi, and I was ashamed." ”
"Without further ado, we'll go see Zihuan now!" Xiahou Nan got up, grabbed the arms of the two, and said slowly: "The glory of the new generation of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan will be carried forward by us!" ”
The three of them nodded solemnly, went out of the door in high spirits, and went to the palace to see Cao Pi, and asked for his order to take command of the battle.
……
Zhuge Liang took advantage of Xiahou Nan's vanity and took the opportunity to provoke a war, and Guan Yu sent troops from Jingzhou to the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.
At the same time, Liu Qi also sent troops from Hanzhong, and Longzhong's strategy was about to be realized, and the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted.
Previously, Zhang Lu was to protect Hanzhong, destroying part of the plank road of the Bao slope road, and Xiahou Yuan ordered people to repair the path, but it was not enough to dispatch a large army, so he returned several times in vain.
Walking through the Qinling Valley Road, there are many places that need to pass through the steep rock and steep wall, if there is no plank road, even if people can cross, vehicles cannot pass, and grain and grass cannot be transported.
Without the support of grain and grass, it is impossible to march on a large scale, and it is no less than smuggling to Yinping by taking the Bao ramp to the south, not to mention that there is a large army guarding the front?
When Cao Cao crusaded against Zhang Lu, he took a detour to Wudu Road, traveled thousands of miles, and ran out of grain and grass when he arrived at Yangping Pass.
Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan for the first time, the street pavilion was lost, and the people and horses from all walks of life suffered serious losses, only Zhao Yun burned the plank road and retreated calmly, unscathed.
Later, Cao Zhen took Hanzhong again, but because of the slow journey of repairing the plank road, he returned in vain and died of anger.
When Zhong Hui was attacking Shu, he even used the strategy of borrowing a knife to kill people, and ordered Xu Yi to pioneer to open the way, and beheaded him because of the unfavorable governance.
On the whole, Chen Cangdao is the flattest, which is also the main reason for Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition to Qishan, so Liu Qi sent Zhao Yun as a general, although he is a strange soldier, he is actually the main force.
After Zhao Yun sent troops, Liu Qi also took Yan Yan as the vanguard, and Zhuo Ying and Deng Xian then led the troops to repair the plank road, walking while repairing the road, and the army marched slowly.
At this time, Yan Yan had already led the vanguard straight into the Bao Slope Road, walked along the cliff path, cleared the obstacles along the way, and set up a sentry post to guard against Cao's army, so that the rear army could calmly repair the road.
On this day, the army marched after the rain, and the scouts came to report that there was a key place in front of the green pine plateau, and the Cao army was building a camp on the road, and there were 3,000 troops guarding it.
Yan Yan asked, "Who is the Qingsong Plateau guard?" ”
The scout replied, "It's Xiahou De, the nephew of the Xiahou Yuan clan!" ”
Yan Yan sneered: "The Cao army is full of relatives and children, and no one cares about the Central Plains?" ”
Adjutant General Zhang Yi clasped his fists and said: "The last general is willing to go to the camp and behead this person to help the army." ”
Ju Fu said: "The Cao army is stationed in Qingsong Plateau, and it can be taken in Hanzhong when it enters and can be protected in the Kei Valley when it retreats. ”
Yan Yan nodded and said: "The Cao army will find out that we are sending troops, but they will not go out of the camp to fight, they must be ordered to defend to the death, and they can be lured out of the camp by agitating the generals, kill them in the canyon, and then counterattack the camp." ”
Zhang Yi asked: "The last general will go first." ”
Yan Yan laughed and said: "This battle is the first confrontation between me and the Cao army, and we must not lose the face of our Sichuan army." ”
Zhang Yi hugged his fists and said: "Obey!" ”
Although Yan Yan is old, he has a very high prestige in the Sichuan army, and this time he is a pioneer, Zhang Yi took the initiative to ask for orders to follow, and took the two young generals to experience.
Ju Fu said: "On the way to come, there is a cliff and dense forest, which can be used to ambush soldiers, the master goes to ambush, and the disciple responds here." ”
Yan Yan waved his hand and said: "Xiahoude must know that a certain is a forward general, if he does not move, he will definitely be suspicious in his heart, this time he uses the strategy of luring the snake out of the hole, he needs to lure the enemy in person, and Xiaoxing goes to ambush, I have my own reason." ”
Zhang Yi led 1,000 men and horses to the green pine plateau, and saw the cliffs here, and the green pines on the top of the cliff were lush and green.
When there is only one canyon on the road to extend into the distance, the Cao army camp is built with rocks, which is one zhang high, and there is an arrow tower sentry on the high platform, and the defenders have already beaten the drum to warn.
The sound of drums echoed in the valley, startling the birds to circle, and Cao Jun stood on the gate, with his bow and arrows, waiting for the battle.
Zhang Yi stepped forward and shouted: "Zhang Yi, a certain Han general, who in the camp dares to fight with a certain one?" ”
