Nanyang County, Yuzhou, north of Jiangxia.

Since the beginning of the Guangwu Zhongxing, it has been known as the existence of the southern capital, and in terms of prosperity, it is not an exaggeration to say that it ranks among the top five in the entire Han Empire.

You must know that the famous Xiangyang City is just a county under the jurisdiction of Nanyang!

It was also a year ago, with the sharp turn of the war situation in Jiangxia, Cao Cao had to mobilize all the Taishan troops led by Zang Ba here...

In this way, he formed a confrontation with Jiangxia's aggressive Jingzhou soldiers.

Over the past year, although there have been small frictions, overall... There was no large-scale battle, which also made Nanyang... They did not suffer from war.

Nanyang's prosperity and economic survival and preservation to the greatest extent.

It can be said that in the conquest of Nanyang, the "granary of the Central Plains" and the "southern capital", both the north and the south have maintained extreme restraint.

And this restraint was completely changed on this day.

Today, in the mansion of Nanyang City, the atmosphere is solemn and tense.

With the arrival of a burly general, a cadre of Taishan troops have surrendered, and the leader of the Taishan army led by him is the second son of Zang Ba, named Zang Shun.

The general he is facing is the temporary representative Guan Lin, the governor of Jiangxia's affairs on behalf of Jiangxia - Liao Hua!

"I've seen General Liao..."After Zang Shun gave his hand, he reported truthfully: "My father has already explained, from today onwards, the entire Nanyang will all belong to the son of Yunqi, and the last general will specially lead the county magistrates, county officials, and county lieutenants of Nanyang counties to come here to welcome General Liaohua... General Liao Hua is the acting Taishou of Yunqi Gongzi's personal order, so he should also be the governor of Nanyang, and I will wait for the dispatch! ”

Not...

It seems that Zang Shun has been prepared for this set of rhetoric.

All the soldiers of the Taishan army also surrendered with joy and sincerity.

After all, they used to submit to Cao Cao, and that was just an expedient measure... Now that they can "abandon the darkness and turn to the light", they are all happy to beat the hearts of these Taishan troops.

I saw that Zang Shun presented all the seals and household books of Nanyang to Liao Hua, without reservation...

Liao Hua didn't accept it, but stepped forward and helped Zang Shun up, "Zang Shun's son has something wrong to say!" ”

"Ahh

Liao Hua's voice continued, "This Nanyang City and your Taishan Army... It's not all handed over to Yunqi Gongzi, but we are all members of the Han Dynasty, these years the Taishan Military Commission has bent over the years, bent down to serve Cao, worked hard, and... Wronged! From today on, the general and the Taishan army no longer have to lie on the salary to hide their courage, we are with the glory that the Han is destined to flourish again! ”

Hearing this, all the Taishan troops led by Zang Shun took a step back, and then solemnly bowed their hands again, "What General Liao said is extremely true, we will be with the glory of the Great Han!" ”

After a salute, Zang Shun introduced Liao Hua into the main hall of the official office.

Zang Shun couldn't help but ask: "Father said, let me obey General Liao's orders here, now that Luoyang City, which is against Wei, has been captured by General Guan, the entire Weiwei is bound to be turbulent and people's minds change, so next... Should we go straight in and strike north... Capture Yuzhou and Yanzhou to capture the Central Plains? ”

Zang Shun is still young and earnest.

Liao Hua showed the side of the old way, "Zang Shun Gongzi is excited, this is a good thing, but as Zang Shun Gongzi said, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are turbulent and unstable, and people's minds are changing, and now they are bound to be silent, strong walls and clear fields, if our soldiers and horses attack the cities one by one, then even if they can win, in the end, they will inevitably lose 10,000 enemies and 8,000 self-losses, which is what Yunqi Gongzi does not want to see!" ”

"That..."Zang Shun was a little puzzled, "Could it be... If we don't attack, will these Wei troops in Yuzhou and Yanzhou surrender! ”

"Not necessarily!" Liao Hua squinted, revealing a confident and high-spirited side.

It seems that after following Guan Lin for a long time, he has also seen many things more deeply and thoroughly.

"Now Cao Cao fled into Chang'an, Guanzhong, eyeing Luoyang City, Hanzhong is breaking out a large-scale Han, Wei war, in my opinion, the outcome of these two battles will be related to the overall situation of the world, will be related to the final fate of this division, Xu, Yan, Yu! If the reverse Wei loses two games in a row, then Yanzhou and Yuzhou will not be self-defeating for us? Falling from the wind? At that time, why did we have to work hard to injure the enemy by injuring 1,000 and injuring ourselves 800? Welcome to the king... Isn't it even more enjoyable to see? ”

This one...

Zang Shun's eyes were certain, and he felt reasonable, so he hurriedly surrendered his hand, "It's still General Liao who can see far... It's just that I'm afraid that the two wars in Guanzhong and Hanzhong will not end overnight, and we... Are we going to stand still here? ”

Still young!

It's still a meritorious service!

Liao Hua can understand the mood of the young man in front of him, in fact, he also came from this stage.

"Hahaha..."

Immediately, Liao Hua laughed and said, laughing, while reminding, "According to intelligence, the battle situation in Huainan is erosive, the Jiangdong Army has fought to the death with the Wei army in Huainan, the Jiangdong Army has many generals, and the Huainan Wei Army is relying on Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, who stopped crying, and now the two sides are deadlocked, and they are almost on fire!" ”

The words reminded this, Zang Shun is no matter how young he is, he will immediately understand, "The last general knows, the last general will take the Taishan army to Huainan... Help the Jiangdong soldiers to kill that Liao thief without leaving a piece of armor! ”

This...

Liao Hua knocked his head slightly, and then reminded: "Having said that, your father also has some friendship with that Zhang Wenyuan, if he can capture him alive, it is best, if not, it doesn't hurt to kill him... I will also lead the Jiangxia army to support Huainan, I expect that this time the Wei will not send reinforcements, then Zhang Liao's Hefei City is as solid as gold, we will also poke it out of a hole! ”

…

…

A huge map was hung high, and Guan Yu was discussing military affairs with the generals and strategists.

Guan Lin was also there, but he deliberately avoided behind everyone, quietly watching the map, and listening to the analysis of the battle situation.

Xu Shu is narrating, "Let's talk about Huainan first, according to the latest information, Huainan alone, more than half of the cities and counties against Wei have all been captured, and only Deyang and Shouchun are left to form a siege of the entire Hefei City... At that time, even if Zhang Liao passes the Shenwu again, it will be difficult to fly. ”

Hearing this, Guan Yu groaned for a while, as if remembering his friendship with Zhang Liao, he couldn't help but look silent, but soon, this trace of thought quickly drifted away, Guan Yu said seriously, "Luoyang fell, Cao thief fled to Chang'an, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou people are panicking, at this time, there will be no soldiers and horses galloping to aid Huainan, Zhang Liao's army is defeated, and conquering Huainan is just a sure thing!" ”

Speaking of which...

"Not necessarily!" Guan Lin opened his mouth, he reminded: "Although Cao Cao is defeated, he is not a confused person, in my opinion, even if Zhang Liao wants to defend Huainan to the death, but Cao Cao will definitely let him evacuate the place of soldiers in a hurry after weighing the situation... And then... And then..."

After two "then", Guan Lin's eyes looked at Yutu, and his hand pointed to Xuzhou, "He will most likely retreat to Xuzhou... Xuzhou is different from Jianghuai, where the terrain is flat, there are few lakes, and there are many flat land, which is conducive to the cavalry of the anti-Wei Dynasty, and also to the foot cavalry that Zhang Liao is best at. I think Cao Cao will most likely follow suit and let Zhang Liao stick to Xuzhou, so as to wait for the results of the war in Hanzhong and Guanzhong! ”

Guan Lin's words made Guan Yu fall into deep thought.

But it was for Xu Shu to nod. "I see the same thing as Yunqi, Luoyang has been lost, the strategic defense line originally planned by Cao Cao has collapsed on all fronts, and it is imperative that he will inevitably retreat the defense line... Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou used this to establish a defense line, which is quite in line with Cao Cao's judgment! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Shu looked around at everyone present, and his tone suddenly became solemn, "Actually, both we and that Cao Cao know that this so-called strategic defense line is no longer important, they only have one battle left against Wei and our Han, that is, the battle between Guanzhong and Hanzhong, if Wei wins and recaptures Luoyang, then the situation of confrontation between the north and the south of the world will reappear, if our Han wins, Shuzhong and the Central Plains will join the Northern Expedition, then the entire Central Plains counties will definitely look at the wind and surrender... Cao Cao could only flee to the north in disgrace! ”

As Xu Shu said...

Now whether it is Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Sili... But as long as there are cities and counties, those county guards must be quite hesitant and hesitant, and they must be waiting for the news of the final battle.

The reverse Wei was able to develop from Cao Cao and Chen Liu's troops to today's strength, not by luck;

Cao Cao has not experienced adversity and despair!

Once upon a time, his hometown almost let Lu Bu serve a pot, but in the end, it was different! No, it grows stronger in those tribulations.

Reverse Wei, no... To be precise, Cao Cao's ability to resist pressure is unprecedented!

It is also based on this, based on confidence in Cao Cao and Great Wei...

The fall of Luoyang was not enough for the Central Plains to surrender.

On the contrary, it is pressed tightly at this time, which will make the civil and military forces and generals of the anti-Wei Dynasty in the Central Plains work together, and the jade will be burned...

On the contrary, as long as Cao Cao can be defeated in Guanzhong or Hanzhong, the situation in the Central Plains will be won without a fight!

"Yuan Zhi, since the key to the strategy is in Guanzhong, then let's talk about Guanzhong, calculate the time, then the Cao thief should almost arrive in Chang'an!"

With Guan Yu's voice, Xu Shu said truthfully: "As Yun Chang said, Cao Cao still arrived in Guanzhong as he wished... Temporarily stationed troops in Wuguan and Tongguan, this is to make a posture of advancing east at any time to recapture Luoyang! But in a short period of time, Cao Cao will most likely not come to attack, firstly, according to the news from the northern eyeline, the more than 200,000 northern soldiers stationed at the border pass by Cao Cao have not made any major moves recently, and secondly... I think in Cao Cao's opinion, he also wants to wait and see, waiting for the success or failure of the first battle in Hanzhong! ”

Hanzhong...

With Guan Yu's Jingzhou army, it was like a dagger straight into the heart of Great Wei.

Jiangdong's Northern Expedition is imperative and has been put on the agenda.

The breakthrough in Shuzhong is even more imminent, and it cannot be struck.

So... For Cao Cao, his first task now is to block the momentum of Jiangdong and Shuzhong, as long as these two places are blocked, the troops of Tongguan and Wuguan are eyeing each other, and Guan Yu will attack northward, which is tantamount to a lone army going deep.

To deal with Jiangdong, you can use Xuzhou, the plains, the foot, and Zhang Wenyuan!

Can you thwart the momentum of Shuzhong? And what can it be used?

The most unacceptable thing for Cao Cao now is that in addition to Guan Yu in Jingzhou, the Han army... It can also add a stronger and more powerful battlefield.

Based on this, Cao Cao did not choose to retreat to the base camp of Yecheng in Jizhou, but rushed to Guanzhong in person, just to block the opening in Shuzhong.

This is about the rise and fall of Great Wei, and this is about Cao Cao... and even the survival of the Cao family!

The topic shifted to Shuzhong and the Hanzhong battlefield in focus.

Guan Yu frowned slightly, as if, even if he was in the Central Plains, he knew the embarrassment of his eldest brother in Hanzhong...

It's grain and grass...

It's grain and grass!

Sure enough, Xu Shu immediately talked about the battlefield in Hanzhong, "Now, Uncle Liu's soldiers and horses are all stationed at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, and Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses are stationed on the other side of Dingjun Mountain. If you want to take Hanzhong, you must climb over Dingjun Mountain, and break through the protection of Xiahou Yuan from this mountain, but... There is only one reason why Uncle Liu Huang has not gone up the mountain for a long time... It's grain and grass. Although Kong Ming has raised the strength of the entire Shuzhong to raise grain and grass, the Northern Expedition is too urgent, and the time for Shuzhong to recuperate is too short, so... It is difficult to prepare grain and grass, and it is even more difficult to transport grain... Due to the pressure of this grain and grass, Uncle Liu Huang did not dare to go to the Dingjun Mountain! This was the biggest problem in the First World War of Hanzhong. ”

In fact, Xu Shu only raised Liu Bei's disadvantages, and was far from mentioning the advantages for the Wei army.

It's still grain and grass!

In the past, when Cao Cao conquered Hanzhong, Zhang Lu led the Five Doumi Sect to surrender to Cao Cao, leaving all the money and grain in the treasury to Cao Cao, and hastily estimated... This amount of money and food is enough for Cao Cao to use in Guanzhong for ten years!

It is precisely with this amount of money and food, whether it is Xiahou Yuan or Jia Xu, in the process of confronting Liu Bei, they can avoid fighting and consume it... dragged Liu Bei to life until he ran out of food.

When the time comes... Isn't it slaughtered yet?

How did Ma Tan lose in Dingjun Mountain?

Jia Xu understands it too well!

This time, even if Liu Bei did not go up the mountain, the strategy used by Jia Xu was similar.

Ma Jian is losing water and food!

Liu Bei is in the situation of the three armies running out of food? And how to deal with it?

Call...

Sure enough, when Xu Shu narrated the situation in Hanzhong, the mood of the entire discussion here suddenly became serious.

When the good news spread, the big guy's smile disappeared all at once.

Even, quite a few people... They all sweated for Liu Bei's war in Hanzhong.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

If the army of 200,000 runs out of food, the consequences... Disastrous!

"Whew..."

Guan Yu exhaled, he turned his head to look around the entire hall, but saw that his sons Guan Lin and Fu Shiren seemed to be whispering something.

Guan Yu couldn't help but ask, "Cloud Banner?" What do you think about the lack of food in Hanzhong? ”

Yes...

was coldly ordered by his father, Guan Lin was stunned at first, and then spread his hands, "What can the child think?" The child stood and watched..."

Belch...

Familiar taste!

A flame quietly rose in Guan Yu's chest.

Guan Yu was patient, and he asked Fu Shiren beside Guan Lin, "Shiren? What do you think..."

Fu Shiren looked directly at Guan Yu, then turned his head to look at Guan Lin, and then, he grinned his teeth, "What do I think?" I see the same thing as the heroes of Yunqi, and we both stand and watch..."

Get...

This is equivalent to not asking, Guan Yu feels... He's boring to himself!

Dare to love this fake brother is closer than the real father and son?

It's a lonely question!

At this time, Guan Lin gave up his hand, "Father, if there is nothing else, the child will step back." ”

Fu Shiren followed Guan Lin, but he was not as polite as Guan Lin, "Disperse if there is nothing to do, what?" Hanzhong is short of food, you can get food with your mouths? Haha, let's stay where it's cool..."

Speaking of this, without waiting for Guan Yu to reply, Fu Shiren directly grabbed Guan Lin's arm, this pair of brothers... Just walked away in a grand manner.

Guan Yu looked at their departing backs, inexplicably, the angry little flame in his heart actually dissipated a lot.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon...

Yunqi and Shiren are like this, most of them... What are you plotting?

Guan Yu just couldn't tell if their plot was related to the lack of food in Hanzhong.

It was Xu Shu, who spoke at the right time, "Yun Chang, since you can't talk about it, it's better to follow General Shiren's proposal and disperse..."

"Okay..."Guan Yu got off the donkey down the slope, he raised his head and said loudly: "Luoyang Xinke, you still have to mention the spirit of twelve!" If there is any situation, report to Guan at any time. ”

"No..."

With this sound, everyone retreated.

But Guan Yu was still looking at the courtyard from afar, which was the direction in which Guan Lin and Fu Shiren left, for a long time, for a long time...

Seeing that the people are almost gone.

Xu Shu walked to Guan Yu's side and whispered, "Yun Chang thinks that there will be a way for Yunqi to be the grain of Hanzhong?" ”

"I don't know!" At the mention of his son, Guan Yu seemed a little unconfident, he shook his head, "This kid, I can't guess him!" But he could see that he must be planning something..."

As the saying goes, heroes see the same thing.

Guan Yu's words made Xu Shu smack his head heavily, he... I think so, too!

Even, he had a faint hunch that this kid Yunqi... It's to help his uncle and defeat the Dingjun Mountain!

…

…

It's just outside the mansion.

Guan Lin and Fu Shiren got into the same carriage.

"What the eldest brother said just now was interrupted by my father, and now my father is no more, eldest brother... Let's talk about it. ”

Guan Lin took the initiative to ask.

Fu Shiren smiled sweeter than a flower, "I used the Shu brocade according to your instructions before... Many businessmen in the Central Plains have already promised that they will find a way to send the grain to your uncle at the foot of Dingjun Mountain... Now, this Luoyang City has fallen, and these businessmen are all in the city, and they have asked me several times to introduce me... I said I wanted to meet you? ”

Belch...

Meet!

That's not the point, the point is... In the previous content, these businessmen will try to send the grain to Dingjun Mountain and send it to Liu Bei.

Of course, Guan Lin's original idea was just a flash of inspiration, and he was sure... The world is bustling for profit, and he is sure that in the face of ten times the profit, these businessmen will definitely take risks, risk going to the guillotine, and even trample on all the laws of the world!

This is Das Kapital!

Can... These businessmen agreed on the one hand, whether they can really do it, that is another new story.

Thinking of this, Guan Lin couldn't help but "chirp" his mouth, and said casually, "See... It's not that I can't see it, it's just that the foolish brother is curious, these big businessmen have promised the eldest brother, but can they really deliver it? ”

"Whew..."

Guan Lin's words made Fu Shiren laugh and wave his hand, "Third brother, third brother, you are underestimating these businessmen, since you beat your uncle to capture Shuzhong, since the Cao thief took Hanzhong, the trade between Shuzhong and the Central Plains has never been opened, but these years... Well salt, Shu brocade, Shu ginger from Yizhou, medicinal herbs, furs, spices and handmade products from the Central Plains... How could they have broken off in Shuzhong and the Central Plains respectively? To put it mildly, back then... When I was selling arms, no matter how difficult the waterways and land routes were, as long as the profits were large enough, as long as I was willing to put in some effort, the arms could still be delivered to the buyers! ”

Speaking of this, Fu Shiren smacked his mouth, and then his mouth was close to Guan Lin's ear, and his voice was slightly lowered, "Third brother, everything is about a sharp word, as long as there are enough points, then don't say it's food, it's just that Cao Jun's ordnance was burned, and someone else will do it... If we don't, there's only one reason, we don't give enough—"

Belch...

With Fu Shiren's words, Guan Lin was stunned.

However, if you think about it carefully, Fu Shiren's words... It's not rough!

Everything has a value, and everyone has a value.

It's the same in the future generations, 100,000, 100,000 can't pull into the water!

Then add up...

Add to tens of millions, billions, such chips are placed in front of you, which one is afraid will be deeply shocked, and which one must not say a word:

- Ya, you see people are so accurate!
