Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Battle of Han and Wei (8)

On September 15, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Ji Han, led 20,000 troops to Weinan, and ordered Zhao Yun and Pang De to guard Huayin, and each Fu Qi soldiers went on two roads, entering and leaving left and right every day, and right entering and leaving left, thinking that they were suspicious of the army. Cao Zhen and Zhang He were defeated at the beginning and did not dare to make a move. Cao Pi issued an edict three times a day to destroy the soldiers, and accused the two of them for the crime of neglecting the military aircraft. Cao Zhennai ordered Zhang He to lead an army to attack. Zhang He has already explored the terrain, but also ambushed the strange soldiers on two roads, and when the Han army entered and left the city to hand over, he suddenly led to a thunderous blow, and the crowd was outnumbered, breaking the Han army and seizing Huayin. Zhao Yun and Pang De reluctantly retreated to Huazhou, and at this time Kong Ming was still in Weinan, purging the army and horses, and could not respond. Not long after, Huazhou was lost again, Cao Zhen and Zhang He were ashamed, and led the army to continue westward. At this time, Cao Pi sent troops out of Tongguan and entered Huayin. Great chaos on the Eastern Front.

From time to time, homeless people on the front line fled the battlefield and entered Chang'an, bringing all kinds of different versions of the news, which shocked the people again and again.

I was a little weak at first dealing with the displaced people, and by the time I found out that it should be strictly controlled, there were already tens of thousands of displaced people in the city. In order to avoid greater commotion and hidden dangers, I ordered the city gates to be closed, and at the same time strengthened control, and resettled the personnel according to their household registrations, and selected the able-bodied ones to join the army for military training, while the frail ones were transferred backwards and placed in the west of Xianyang. The rest of the people who did not enter the city did the same.

Fighting a war in one's own territory is the most painful thing, although it has the advantage of geographical advantages and people, it will also cause great damage to the economy and people's livelihood of one's own territory. What's more, Yongliang was initially decided, the people's hearts were not attached, although we have countless good governance, but the time is not long, it is difficult for the people to fully return to their hearts, and it is difficult to fully believe in us. Years of experience have taught them that when they hear that there is going to be a war, they should flee first. The members told me that despite all their efforts to persuade and reassure them, there is still a steady stream of civilians fleeing every day, and that thousands of people die on the road from disease and starvation. With a gloomy face, I asked Liu Ba to take charge of the affairs of the displaced people, and my mood was overwhelmed.

At this time, Liao Li came to see me.

Liao Li, a native of Jingzhou, has always been as famous as Zhuge Kongming and Pang Shiyuan. But he is arrogant and rude, always feels that he is better than others, but his status does not match his identity, so he not only does not do things all day long, but also keeps finding fault with this and that. He felt that Kong Ming was the prime minister, and he should at least give him a deputy position, but he couldn't imagine that the position of the imperial doctor was won by Li Yan, whose status was far inferior to him, and he couldn't help but be extremely annoyed. Therefore, although he was in the middle of the service (equivalent to the director of the General Office of the State Council in later generations), he was still unhappy all day long. And because of his temper, no one likes him either.

"Lord Liao." I took the initiative to greet.

Liao Li just bowed his hand, didn't even say a word, and sat down beside me.

Most of the scholars and doctors in the Han and Jin dynasties were arrogant and arrogant, Mi Heng scolded Cao Cao in person, such an impudent person, Cao Cao was not willing to kill him, only sent him to Jingzhou, not to mention that Liao Li did not scold me, he was an old friend of Mr.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked.

"Xiao Liang, this person......" Liao Li said in the posture of an elder, his eyebrows furrowed together, and he looked distressed. But even if he was a few years older than Mr., he shouldn't have talked like this, "How can you be so stupid?" ”

I couldn't help but look up at him and didn't speak. Mr. Kong Ming is called Xiaoliang in the whole world, and he is probably the only one. But could he see the gentleman's plan? I sneered in my heart. Mr. Kong Ming first lost Huayin, and then lost Huazhou, during which he was doing something, he did not contact anyone, even in the war report and seal to me, only a brief description of what happened during the period, without any justification. However, in the past few days, I have synthesized all kinds of information at hand, and after careful analysis and judgment, I have come to a conclusion that Mr. Kong Ming is luring the enemy to go deeper.

Liao Li sneered: "Lure the enemy with a sudden defeat, and then lead the army to besiege, this kind of strategy, a three-year-old child can also think of it, are all fools in Cao Wei's army?" ”

I looked at Liao Li in surprise. He really saw at a glance that Mr.'s plan was coming, and he beat it to the point that it was worthless. Is he too clever?

"If I am Kong Ming, there are countless strategies to defeat Cao's army, or to surround Wei to save Zhao, or to take the initiative to attack, and to attack and save him, I can keep the enemy out of the country, and will not let the enemy attack my territory. Now it is good that the eastern danger has been lost, whether it is offensive or defending, it is all in the enemy's army, and our army is in a passive situation. This little bright! Liao Li sighed.

I thought for a while: "Master Liao is talented, and he is as famous as Mr. Kong Ming." Sir, why don't you write a note to me and carefully analyze the situation of Cao Jun and our army after Kong Ming's defeat, and the subsequent measures. If the talent of the adult is really outstanding, Ji Han will not succumb to the great talent of the gentleman. ”

When Liao Li heard this, his eyes couldn't help but flash. He was crazy and would not hide himself, and said excitedly: "In this way, I will go back." He turned and strode away.

I looked at his back, was silent for a long time, and then sighed secretly. There is some truth in what he said, but I still believe Mr. Kong Ming. I believe in my husband even better than I believe in myself.

Liao Li, you are really talented, if it weren't for your nasty character, how could you just be a servant now? If you can be as good as Mr. Kong Ming, so that the upper and lower levels are at peace, and the advantages and disadvantages are obtained, with your talent, how can you let Li Yan ascend to a high position. It's a pity that there is only one Kong Ming in the world, and Liao Li is only Liao Li. However, I reassured you with kind words and asked you to write a note, which can be regarded as playing to your strengths and helping to increase my understanding of the battle situation, and during this time, you will be occupied, and you will not go around and cause trouble. Otherwise, the Prime Minister's Mansion in charge of Guo Youzhi will not let you make a mess.

Thinking about it, I was suddenly shocked, why did Liao Li come to my side to criticize Mr. You know, I am a disciple of Mr., and I am only a prince who is in charge of the country, and I do not have the real power to dispose of the officials. What is the purpose of his visit? Was it his temperament, or did he smell something? Think I can get to know him and reuse him? Thinking about it, I called Li Sheng: "Lord Liao is ordered to write a top-secret recital, you take a few guards to take him to Shangshutai, find a quiet place for him to work, and don't let anyone disturb him." Remember, in the name of valuing him, he must not be allowed to find anything wrong. ”

Li Sheng blinked: "Is His Highness going to put him under house arrest?" ”

"Talky, when did I say that?"

Li Sheng stuck out his tongue, knew that he had made a mistake, turned around and ran out to call someone.

I was disturbed by Liao Li, I didn't see the latest battle report, and I lowered my head at this time: Cao Pi personally led the Chinese army of 50,000 in the center, so that Cao Yu led the backbone battalion of 10,000 people to the front, Xia Houru led the Wuwei battalion of 10,000 to respond, and Xia Hou Mao led the middle base camp to live across the river from Yongji and the Han army. In the battle report, there is still no mention of the current location of the Xiaocai and the second guerrilla battalion.

I hurriedly looked at the map, the Yellow River flowed from north to south, turned a 90-degree bend at Tongguan, turned to the east, after the confluence of Weishui, Jingshui, Luoshui, etc., and also before Tongguan and the Yellow River, the battlefield was divided into three parts, the main force of our army and the main force of Cao Pi faced each other in the south of the Wei River, and our army was on the defensive. The north of the Wei River is divided into two parts, east and west by the Yellow River, and here, our army has a local advantage. Due to Feng Xi and the water army of Hejiuqu, Cao Wei was helpless in the face of the Yellow River, Guo Huai did not dare to cross the river, and Gongsun Gong's men and horses were defeated. If our army can use the powerful method to surprise the troops to the east of the river, and then suddenly attack Cao Pizhong's army from the pontoon bridge of Fenglingdu......

My heart was pounding. Li Sheng suddenly came in: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Liao is here." ”

Liao Li entered: "Your Highness, do you want to let Cao Pi's 100,000 army be defeated in one fell swoop?" ”

"General, whether to report this matter to the prime minister or not to make a decision." Feng Xi asked.

Wei Yan squinted his eyes, looking at the misty shore like a wolf.

"No need. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and asking for instructions on everything is tantamount to passing the buck for everything, and it will inevitably delay the fighters. That's the way the mediocre will do it. As a general, even if you take responsibility, you have to do great things! I ordered Wang Ping to go north to feint to attack Hejin, and Guo Huai led the army to retreat hundreds of miles north, and at this time the general on the other side was Cao Pi's left-wing general Xia Houmao - a fool who could only climb up by relying on his father's shadow and nepotism. At this time, Cao Jun didn't know that I was here. If I suddenly crossed the river, I would be able to defeat him with just one blow, and then lead the army to take Yongji, quickly move south, take the Fengling Ferry, and penetrate directly into the flank of Cao Pi's army. With the ability of the prime minister, he will be able to attack head-on, and even if he can't catch Cao Pi, he will make the enemy lose his soul, and our army will win. ”

In the morning mist, Wei Yan, whose face was like a heavy jujube and whose long beard was fluttering, seemed to emit the breath of Guan Yunchang's contempt for all things. Feng Xin couldn't help but be moved--maybe, he could really succeed. However, does Wei Yan's knife really have to be as sharp as Leng Yansaw? Can he really split the troops in front of him and split Cao Pi's team?

Wei Yan saw Feng Xi's hesitation: "Linjin military, I am responsible, if you don't dare, then I deserve to win or lose, and I am guilty of Wei Yan's head, if you have merit, naturally you will have a share of General Feng." ”

Feng Xi was angered by Wei Yan's expression: "What did General Wei say?" Naturally, I and the general are jointly responsible for this matter, and it is meritorious, it is the general's, and it is guilty, and there is also half of me. ”

"Good!" Wei Yan put his hands together, "For the sake of Ji Han, we only want to defeat Cao Pi, regardless of merit." Let the two of us join hands to crush the ball of flour in front of me, take Xiahou Mao's head, and use it as a wine glass for Your Majesty. ”

Feng Xi said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a merciful lord, but he is not a Huns, so he will not use this wine glass." ”
