Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Battle of Han and Wei (11)

In Chang'an City, Liao Li said to me: "Your Highness, please see, Cao Pi out of Tongguan to establish a village, the focus of its control is in the front, and its flanks are extremely empty, if our army can smuggle across the Yellow River, kill into the east of the river, and take advantage of the situation to capture the Fengling Ferry, then directly threaten Cao Pi's main camp, and then our army will attack head-on, and the enemy will break itself." ”

I looked at Liao Li, and he thought the same as me. I don't know if that's the same as a hero.

"Your Highness, you can directly send a letter to Wei Yan's army and ask him to send troops, then the situation of this battle will be reversed, and His Highness will be famous. What's more, Wei Yan is His Royal Highness's old department during the Western Expedition, and this credit is given to General Wei, which is better than Kong Ming and Pang De. ”

My heart was beating wildly as I thought about it. When I was young, what I needed most was to make a name for myself, so that the world would know that I was not an incompetent person who could only survive by relying on my father's shadow. Liao Li, whose skills are no less than Kong Ming Shiyuan, gave me a strategy, and this strategy is the same as what I think, should I use it or not?

The impetuosity of an instant is like fireworks soaring into the sky, blooming with all kinds of beautiful temptations, depicting all kinds of moving prospects.

I finally shook my head and said, "Sir's kindness, I understand it." This is a serious matter and should not be lightly moved. Besides, I am in Chang'an, and it is really unwise to meddle in the front line. I will write to Kong Ming on this matter and ask him to handle it at his discretion. ”

Liao Li's face was full of disappointment: "Your Highness, it turns out that what they said is true. ”

"What?"

"Everyone said that Kong Ming bullied the prince when he was young, took power alone, and manipulated Ji Han. I thought that the prince's ability to be Yongliang would be the master of something to do, and he would not be at the mercy of others, but I was wrong, but the prince was still afraid of Kong Ming in his heart. ”

The fire was suddenly ignited. Am I at the mercy of others? Am I afraid of Kong Ming in my heart? In another world, I can't be supported by Kong Ming's hard work, and my actions and behaviors are all handled by Kong Ming, is it because he didn't give me room for development, or am I stupid enough to be self-reliant? Everything is only entangled in dreams, and I can't get rid of it. Unexpectedly, in this life, I have become self-reliant, but there are still people who laugh at me and am afraid of Kong Ming.

Am I afraid of Kong Ming? What am I afraid of him? Are you afraid of his cleverness? Are you afraid of his wisdom? Are you afraid of his faithfulness? Are you afraid that he will control my life? If he can do it, what if I let him control it?

The self-confidence cultivated over the years overrode all the confusion and swept away the confusion of that world. I'm Adou, I don't want to be helped, I want to stand up by myself. But this does not mean that you don't need to be helped, born in this society, you can't do anything by being alone. I want to be a self-confident and self-reliant person, and this self-confidence can be manifested in believing in myself and believing in others!

For Ji Han's sake, I can let Kong Ming display his talent!

I looked at Liao Li and laughed: "No one can be at my mercy, because behind me is Ji Han, and Ji Han is all of us." Lord Liao, I will consider your suggestion, but please do not use your personal bias to influence my judgment. ”

After Liao Li stepped back, I bowed down on the desk and wrote, "Sir, how is the enemy situation recently? Is there enough military rations and armor for the soldiers? Recently, the weather has been cold, and I have prepared 13,512 pieces of winter clothes, which will be delivered soon. The weather is unpredictable, and it is advisable for the gentleman to take care of his own health. Or it may be said that Cao Pi's Chinese army on the other side of Fenglingdu, if he leads the army to raid Hedong and directly attack Fenglingdu, the battle situation may change, I don't know if his words are appropriate? May the gentleman consider it for himself because of the situation on the front line. The paper is short and long, and it is in a hurry. ”

Outside Tongguan, Cao Jun barracks. The tents are like snow-capped mountains. The five-color flags and the gold medals hanging high all show the majesty of this place. In the middle of the golden tent, there lives the thirty-five-year-old emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty - Cao Pi.

He was eight years old and talented, good at riding and archery, good at fencing, and often fought from Cao Cao, quite insightful. After Cao Cao went, he took the position of prime minister, seized the power of several younger brothers, put them far away in the fiefdom, and sent military horses to guard them. The cleverness of the means and the coldness of the heart are quite Cao Cao's true biography. Later, he arranged to receive Zen, seized the Han Dynasty, and abolished Emperor Xian as the Duke of Shanyang. Sun Quan bowed his head in the south and was named a general; Gongsun Gong of the North tied his hands and was named the general of the chariot cavalry. There is a famous general in the south, Cao Ren guarded Wancheng, Cao Xiu guarded the entrance of the cave, in order to prepare for Sun Quan, raised 200,000 Chinese troops, 100,000 foreign troops to attack the western thieves, known as 150,000 to the outside world. He was determined to win.

Will you win? He remembered the words of the former Taiwei Jia Xu: Those who want to attack the enemy must first weigh the soldiers and horses, and those who want to build a business must first declare morality. His Majesty should receive Zen as expected, become the Son of Heaven, and lead the land and rule the Quartet. If on this basis, the internal construction of morality, the cultivation of political principles, when the country is strong, the people's will is attached, and Shu and Wu have changes when the army is dispatched, it is not difficult to peace. Although Wu and Shu are small countries, they are surrounded by mountains and waters. But Liu Bei is eloquent, and Zhuge Liang is good at governing the country; Sun Quan knows the truth and the truth, and Lu Xun sees the troops; According to the danger, boating in the rivers and lakes is difficult to seize quickly. The way to use troops, win first and then fight, measure the enemy and judge the generals, so there is no last resort. The minister felt that no one among the monarchs and ministers at the moment was the opponent of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, even if it was a long-live personal expedition to come to him with the power of heaven, it might not be able to have a perfect potential.

Unexpectedly, Jia Wenhe, who had fought all his life and was cunning, poured cold water on him when he sent out the army, and made such a pedantic theory. Or Sima Yi understands his own thoughts: the western thief is rampant, and he will take advantage of his unstable foothold to use the strength of the whole country to cut it down, if he does not levy it this year and does not levy it next year, the enemy will be stronger, and it will be difficult for me to defeat it.

These two people can be said to be the two most outstanding talents left by Emperor Wu to himself, but they turned against each other because of this. Because of this incident, Jia Xu said that he was sick and did not drive to the west, so he accused Sima Yi in front of His Royal Highness: "This person is a wolf and a hawk, not a minister, and a selfish person, which can make the world fall into fire and water." Your Majesty's reuse of this person will put the Great Wei in danger. Sima Yi, who was just a scholar, naturally didn't dare to argue with the chief lieutenant of the hundred officials in the palace, so he only lowered his head and lowered it, which made Cao Pi feel pitiful when he saw it. What's even more terrifying is that Xin Bi and others in the service all obeyed Jia Xu's advice, which made Cao Pi's good life difficult. In all fairness, Cao Pi is a person who is willing to admonish, whether he changes it or not, he rarely gets in court because of the minister's direct advice. However, he is still a monarch, a monarch who wants to be famous for thousands of generations and be admired by everyone in the world. It was when Cao Pi was worried that suddenly the generals from other places wrote to ask for a westward expedition. Cao Pi was overjoyed and should raise troops.

However, now, Cao Pi has calmed down, and it is a little strange. He remembered Jia Wenhe's words, and remembered the pieces that had been written—they came from all over the world, but they arrived in Luoyang one day. Without exception, they all agreed with Sima Yi in their seals.

What does this mean?

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Pi felt afraid.

This person looks at the wolf and eagles, not the appearance of a human minister. As a scholar, this person actually made friends with so many generals and ministers--many of them were even Jia Xu's protégés. What's more, there is such a big Sima family behind him.

Could it be that he has never seen through this person who is a little and lowly in front of him?

Let's deal with all this after we have conquered.

Cao Pi began to sigh, he did not have Cao Cao's insight to see people, and he did not seem to want to fight like him, but once he raised troops, he was cunning and calm, so that the strong enemy retreated. Liu Bei's people and horses in front of him have been chased by his father many times and have no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to enter the ground. But at this time, how should he do it?

The smart Cao Pi deeply experienced the feeling of being alone at this moment, although he was in the army of 100,000, he didn't even have a confidant to speak.

Still, he was sure of the victory. Even if there are some small contradictions within themselves, they are all people with outstanding skills and taking the overall situation into account, and they can dedicate their talents to the sake of Dawei. The battle plan drawn up by Jia Wenhe and Sima Yi together, no matter how clever Kong Ming is, he can't resist it. It's not just because of intelligence, but also because of strength.

The defeat of the Western Thief is only in the moment, and the so-called "Han" is about to disappear in front of his eyes. It was as if this affirmation was further strengthened when the flank was hit hard by Wei Yan.

originally planned to design and lure the other party in Hedong, but he didn't expect that the trap had not been set yet, the battle formation had not yet been built, and the other party had already taken advantage of the unstable foothold of his army to rush over, and what was even more hateful was that Xiahou Mao, who had high hopes for him, would be defeated so badly. But then again, even if Xiahou Mao's entire army is gone, as long as Wei Yan is defeated, it is equivalent to cutting off one of the arms of the Han army, and he is still a sure winner. After all, his own military strength is incomparable to that of the Han army.

"Is Cao Yu's backbone battalion ready?"

"Back to Your Majesty, you're ready."

"Very good, let him cooperate with Cao Zhao's guerrilla battalion and prepare to attack! Contact the remnants of Xiahou Mao and strangle Wei Yanbu in Hedong! Cao Pi's eyes showed the light of a hunter when he saw the prey in the trap. Cao's military strength is actually stronger than it appears on the outside, in fact, as early as a year ago, when Shuzhong began to advance north, he began to prepare for this battle. In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao falsely claimed that there were millions of men and horses, which was to scare Dongwu. Cao Pi went on this expedition, but he knew that Liu Bei couldn't be frightened, so not only did he not report more, but underreported. Now on all fronts, in all directions, his men and horses are in absolute superiority. Moreover, as my father said when the war horse overtimed, it is much easier to wait for the enemy army to gather and annihilate it at one time than to go to Shuzhong by trekking through mountains and rivers. I hope that after this battle, I can eliminate Liu Bei.

Cao Pi stood up, walked to the tent, and looked west--Chang'an, hehe, Liu Xuande, this may be the biggest mistake you have made.

My letter appeared in front of Kong Ming's eyes along with the fire in Fenglingdu.

"What?" In the Weinan camp, Kong Ming's hand shook, and the tea splashed on the map, "Fire in the direction of Fenglingdu?" This Wei Yan! He actually crossed the river without permission to attack! ”

He paced back and forth a few steps, giving a quick order.

"Ordered Zhao Yun to counterattack along the river with the Hubu battalion and burst out of Huazhou City; The flying pigeon sent a message to Wang Ping, causing him to quickly go south and abandon the land west of the river; Summoned Pound, guard the camp, and strictly prevent the enemy from attacking. The Chinese army ordered to gallop away.

Kong Ming slowly sat behind the wooden table. Zhang Fei beside him was stunned, and called Kong Ming's former title: "Military Division, what's wrong?" ”

"Wei Yan has fallen into the trap of the enemy."

"What?!"

Kong Ming didn't say anything, picked up my letter, read it, and suddenly hit a few cases: "Who made this chaotic strategy on behalf of the prince, I don't know the military plane, I don't know the enemy's situation, I don't know the overall situation, I talk on paper, fortunately, the prince is decided, and he has never been confused by his words, otherwise, Ji Han is in danger!" ”

He slapped the feather fan on the case: "Liao Li! It must be Liao Li! ”

Zhang Fei said: "This person is weird, I can't imagine that he will come to be strange at this time, and I will definitely not be able to spare him after I go back." But what about the military situation at this time? Wei Yan has already done this plan. ”

"Wei Yan sent troops, it was indeed a big mistake, he fell into the trap of Cao Jun. Now, he is trapped in the east of the river, like a fish hanging on the shore, with no room for manoeuvre but to be slaughtered. If Wei Yan is defeated, it will be difficult to protect Hexi, Linjin, Haoyang, Hancheng, and Chengcheng...... Many of these cities fell into the hands of the enemy. And the northern front of our army is in danger, and Chang'an is in danger! This Wei Yan, I can't spare him! ”
