Chapter 18 Authenticity and Falsity
"Liang gave Sun Quan an emperor name and came back?"
Kong Ming couldn't understand how much the title of the lord's uncle and brother had to do with him?
"He deserves to be a military advisor!"
Zhang Fei gave Kong Ming a thumbs up, which was also an appreciation gesture he learned from the light curtain.
Kong Ming couldn't laugh or cry, he just wanted to see what the situation was.
[In the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition, if it is bizarre, it should be the second time.
In the spring of 228, the prime minister went out of Qishan for the first time, and then the loss of the street pavilion led to the collapse of the situation, and he had to retreat to Hanzhong.
In December of the same year, the prime minister once again marched out of Chencang, and then had a month of fun with Hao Zhao and then retreated.
It was this time that the troops came out of Chencang, which can be called the most paradoxical Northern Expedition.
First of all, the timing is wrong, December is the standard midwinter, which is extremely unsuitable for sending troops in ancient times.
Getting lost, frostbitten, and supplies in winter are all big problems.
In cold weather, there is more food to keep out the cold, as well as charcoal winter clothes, etc., which are additional expenses.
Even if Chen Cang is laid, it will be difficult for this place to do anything more.
Chen Cang to the west is the Longyou Longdao, where Guo Huai and his Shangqi City are waiting.
What about Chencang to the east? In the 300-mile Guanzhong Plain, Cao Wei's cavalry could easily rush to kill the prime minister's infantry.
Cao Zhen previously judged after pacifying Longyou:
Qishan was defeated and will not come back.
The plank road is burned, and the ramp is not passable.
If you are tackling the problem, you must go to Chencang.
Who guards Chencang? Only Hao Zhao.
Cao Zhen's judgment was very accurate, but he himself couldn't have imagined that the prime minister would attack Chen Cang in the cold winter.
The second is that the attitude of siege is wrong.
This kind of time that no one could have imagined appeared in Chen Cang, and it stands to reason that it should be the main one to play a quick attack that he didn't expect.
But the prime minister didn't, and politely sent Hao Zhao's fellow countryman Jin Shen to persuade him to surrender.
and persuaded him to surrender twice, so that Hao Zhao, who was originally startled, was well prepared.
Then the two sides began to put on a posture:
You push the ladder and I release the rocket, you drive the car and I pile the stone grinding.
You build a well, I repair the urn city, and I dig the tunnel, and I dig the tunnel.
The two sides can be described as having a lot of tricks and having fun.
But such a big momentum made Cao Rong panic, and he hurriedly summoned Zhang He, who had made great contributions last time, to reward the army with wine and meat, and let Zhang He go to support.
And Zhang He was also calm and relaxed, and made a judgment bravely:
Pinching my fingers, the husband of Zhuge Village is not enough food and grass, and most of them will retire before I arrive.
And sure enough, the prime minister withdrew when Zhang He was still halfway through.
Even when he retreated, he still had the strength to spare, and he beheaded Zhang He's vanguard general Wang Shuang with his backhand. 】
"It's weird."
Guan Yu twisted his beard and thought.
As a northerner, Guan Yu is no stranger to harsh winters.
In this kind of weather, let alone a siege, if you can make the soldiers not make trouble, they can already be regarded as a good general.
"Unless...... This dispatch of troops means something. Guan Yu muttered to himself.
If you don't intend to win anything from the battlefield from the beginning, that makes sense.
"Responding to Koto?"
This is the only possibility that Guan Yu can guess and analyze:
"Since Zhang He was summoned to support, Zhang He should not have been in Guanzhong before, but he was close to Luoyang...... Should it be stationed in Xiangfan? ”
"General Guan is discerning." Kong Ming could only praise:
"It should be like this, to create momentum to alleviate the crisis in Jiangdong."
Zhang Fei didn't bother to evaluate his cheap uncle, just glanced at Ma Jian behind him and said:
"Learn how to defend the city!"
There were few words in the light curtain, but Zhang Fei could build a fierce siege battlefield in his mind.
Ma Tan didn't dare to squeak, so he could only nod his head and say yes.
"What a delicate ladder!" Huang Yueying admired.
As a person who is obsessed with craftsmanship, she knows the ladder herself.
But none of those ladders are as elaborate as those in the light curtain.
It can be folded, it can hide soldiers, the front shield, and the top grappling hook.
It is completely different from the long ladder that is built on the spot in the current army.
"The things created by the husband are really exquisite and superb!"
Huang Yueying admired.
Kong Ming was a little unsure: I really made this thing?
It's not that Kong Ming is not confident, but the three things in the light curtain are very different from what they are now.
Each one looks both easy to use and sophisticated.
It is still difficult to transport grain on those roads in Hanzhong, how can these behemoths be transported over?
But...... Kong Ming hesitated for a moment, and then began to copy as well.
It doesn't matter how he is, anyway, let's learn it first.
As for the method of lighting and shooting the head of the arrow with an oilcloth wrapped in the head of the city defender, Kong Ming did not find it unusual.
After the research of the eight-bull crossbow last year, Kong Ming equipped it with a kind of fire crossbow arrow, the crossbow arrow is hollow into tung oil, and when it is shot, the end is stuffed with pulverized coal and burns, and the crossbow arrow is broken when the tung oil burns out.
General Huang still likes it.
[It depends on why the prime minister made a strange Chen Cang.
That involves one of the unsolved cases of the Three Kingdoms so far: is "The Later Teacher's Table" a forgery?
There is no need to say much about how successful the former teacher is, and anyone who understands it understands 'needs to be memorized in full'.
Then the teacher said that if it sounds good, it is loyal and heroic, and if it is bad, it is full of negative energy.
There was only a year between the two countries, and if you didn't look at the Northern Expedition, you would still think that the defeat of the prime minister was like the defeat of Yiling, and the whole army was wiped out.
But in fact, as we said earlier, after the prime minister beheaded Ma Tan and went back, Shuzhong thought it was a big victory.
Those who came to congratulate broke the threshold, forcing the prime minister to even write "The Thanksgiving".
In this case, Liu Chan felt that his father had done his best, and Shuzhong felt that the prime minister was really powerful.
The soldiers felt that they were forced by the vegetables and Ma Jian was pitted, resulting in a failure. 】
Ma Jian lowered his head and even wanted to plug his ears.
But Zhang Fei pinched his chin and forcibly lifted it up and said:
"My eldest brother has said that you must be brave in the face of defeat when you are young, and strive to be strong in the weak."
[In fact, if the prime minister is really so easily depressed, there will be no stars falling on the five zhangyuan.
And this latter table is not found in the history books of Shuzhong, but it is indeed strange that it is included in the Jiangdong Anthology.
But what if this back table was originally written for Koto to see?
In 224, on the eve of the restoration of alliance between Han and Wu, Jiangdong Fuyi Zhonglang sent Zhang Wen to Chengdu by Sun Quan.
At that time, he said to Liu Chan'er that "the commitment to the rules is like the water of the river", which shows that Jiangdong used the two families to send troops together as a bargaining chip to negotiate.
So in the prime minister's plan, the beginning of 228 should be like this:
The prime minister in the west led the army out of Qishan, Meng Da near Jingxiang rebelled, and Jiangdong crossed the Yangtze River in the east as a deterrent.
How does Cao Wei take care of the three ways at the same time? 】
"But something went wrong."
Guan Yu regretted:
"If this plan is successful, Zhang He should be dragged in Jingxiang and not moved, and Cao Zhen will not be able to gather many soldiers and horses even if he sends troops to support Guanzhong."
"In this way, the time for the military division to attack Shangqi will be wider, maybe ......"
Maybe Guan Yu didn't say it explicitly, but the big guys understand.
So the hall sighed.
Kong Ming was the same, and suddenly remembered what Pang Tong had said before
"You just think that reviving the Han dynasty is important, and allies can't be lost!"
Could it be that he really tolerated Jiangdong too much?
As for whether the back table is true or false, Kong Ming doesn't care at all.
He is Zhuge Liang, and the authenticity of this statement is just between his thoughts.
Kong Ming sighed because he couldn't understand that such a good situation would be completely mutually beneficial.
Indeed, as Yun Chang said before, Jiangdong doesn't even need to really fight, only needs to be heavily armed north of the Yangtze River, and it is enough to attack.
Why could there be something wrong with this?
[As we all know, the three hobbies of King Wu of Great Wei:
Backstab, confess the Lord, and claim the emperor.
Sun Quan has always been unwilling to play a supporting role, such as the retreat of Xiaoyaojin, and he had to pretend to be broken by himself, which attracted Zhang Liao.
The same is true for the Northern Expedition in the face of the prime minister, his grandson Quan is 46 years old.
After Yiling that year, it didn't dare to be the emperor because Liu Bei, the madman, was still alive.
But what about now? Zhuge Liang is a general knowledge, Cao Rong is a newcomer to the throne, what is the name of the emperor at this time?
But at this time, if you want to be the emperor, you still have a good military feat, and it just so happened that Zhuge Liang sent the news of the Northern Expedition.
So King Wu of Great Wei was determined to be a big one, and he wanted to sing the leading role!
Sun Quan secretly sent a letter to Zhou Yi and asked him to find some Shanyue people, go to Cao Wei to surrender, and attract them to make a big ticket!
Zhou Yi thought, the mountain is more unreliable, it is better for me to go up by myself!
On the other hand, Zhou Yi wrote several letters to Cao Xiulian to praise Cao Xiu and scold Sun Quan angrily.
On the other side, Zhou Yi and Sun Quan teamed up to play a bitter trick, cutting off their hair and kneeling at the door of Sun Quan's envoy to plead guilty.
In this way, Cao Xiu was convinced, and immediately led the army to receive the credit.
Of course, there is no shortage of smart people in the Three Kingdoms, and Jiang Ji, who is full of favor, can see that there is a problem, but Cao Xiu does not listen.
And of course, it is not just because Cao Xiu is stupid, but because Commander Cao Wei and Sun Quan have the same idea:
"Why can't I sing the lead role?" 】
"The geographical map of the light curtain is very useful!"
No matter how many times you watch Guan Yu, you have to praise it.
Because he has been practicing water master recently, looking at Cao Xiu's march route marked by the light curtain, Guan Yu also found a problem at a glance:
"On such a march, there is a big lake in the north, the Yangtze River on the side, and there is no water division!"
"If the Jiangdong Sailor comes out, Cao Xiu will die!"
No matter how Guan Yu looks at it, he feels that it is too risky.
Zhang Fei said quietly:
"My suspicious tactics, Cao Thief can't be fooled once."
"But how can this Jiangdong's bitter meat trick work this time?"
Although Kong Ming has never seen the word protagonist,
But when it comes to the distinction between primary and secondary, it is still understood before and after the light curtain:
"The light curtain does not talk about Cao Xiu, but about the commander of Cao Wei...... Could it be that the original plan was also to go out in both ways? ”
I want to guess better, Huang Zhong concluded:
"It should be the Xiangfan defenders!"
"If the two armies of Xiangfan and Hefei come out together, even if Cao Xiu's army is ambushed, there should not be too many casualties."
The reason is very simple, if Xiangfan does not send troops, then the defenders used by Jiangdong to defend Xiangfan can naturally be transferred to Cao Xiu's place and give him a big one.
Liu Bei substituted his perspective into Cao Ei, and he also felt extremely tired, and couldn't help but say:
"No wonder the text on the light curtain said before that if Kong Ming didn't go on a northern expedition, maybe Cao Wei would be in chaos."
"Xiangfan and Hefei, both defending Jiangdong, should be one in attack and defense, but they are calculating each other so far?"
"Being a minister in the same hall is like an alliance between Wu and Han."
Zhang Fei slapped Huang Zhong's leg again and laughed:
"Big brother, you take care of them! It doesn't matter who wins or loses, it's a good thing for us! ”
It's not dragging, the one, two, three, Northern Expedition and Shiting are indeed one in nature.
