Chapter 426 Armistice(1/2)
Facing the governor of Wudu, Huo Jun of Yinping County passed away, and now he has received the Qiang Dao camp chief general who has taken over the position of governor by the king's order.
All the civil and military personnel of the Cao family stationed on the western front sighed with regret!
They all felt that perhaps they had really missed a God-given opportunity to attack.
In the end, Zhang Jiyi, the governor of Liangzhou, had no choice but to talk with his staff Yang Fu unconsciously in the palace, and said with a look of regret on his face:
"Yishan, the confidentiality shown by the Shu Army this time was too perfect?"
"Leng Huo Jun passed away and Zhao Tong took over. During this period, we did not receive the slightest news."
"I'm afraid we have indeed missed the opportunity to regain the land this time."
The words were spoken one after another.
Yang Fu, who was sitting majestically from the side, was so smart that he easily understood what he was saying!
Zhang Ji was still very worried about the situation on the border.
After all, the candidate to take over as the governor of the two counties this time was not parachuted in from within the Shu army, but was replaced by Zhao Tong.
Two years ago, they would not have taken this seriously.
But Zhao Tong also led his troops to station in Qiang Road for a long time.
There were also many wars that broke out between the two sides.
Even though Zhao Tong is still young this time, he is still an opponent that cannot be underestimated for Zhang Ji and others.
He even vaguely felt that in the future, young Zhao Tong might be more difficult to deal with than the airborne general.
Yang Fu pondered silently for a while, with a slight smile still on his face and said, "Well, your current worries are not unreasonable!"
"Although Zhao Tong is young, he has been relying on his weak troops to fight against Fei Yao one after another in recent days, and Dai Ling's troops are not at a disadvantage."
"The fact that he dominates the second county is not a good sign for us, but..."
As soon as he said it, he still quite agreed with it and felt worried in his heart.
Zhang Ni couldn't help but raise his head slightly, glance at him a few more times, then remained silent and waited for the next sentence.
As we all know, the most important words that have a turning point in any sentence are not the first half of the sentence, but the but, which is only the second half of such a turning word.
As expected, Zhang Ji smiled slightly and nodded, seemingly allowing himself to continue speaking.
The smile on Yang Fusui's face became thicker and his expression became more relaxed as he said, "It's just that Fu thinks that in the coming days, the most vigilant thing may not be Zhao Tong's actions."
"Will our defense lines on the border face more severe tests?"
"Huh? What did Yishan mean?"
After hearing this, Zhang seemed to feel the seriousness of the words. He was a little confused for a moment and asked a question unconsciously.
"The Shu army may make a big move in the near future."
"So that you can prepare as soon as possible!"
After hearing this, Yang Fu didn't have any hidden intentions and spoke solemnly.
"Yi Shan means that the Shu army wants to invade our territory in a large scale?"
Zhang was not a stupid person. Now that he had been reminded, he reacted quickly.
Yang Fu laughed brightly and said, "Fu thinks that this matter is almost inevitable."
"Two years ago, the Prime Minister personally proposed the main force to conquer Hanzhong County. However, due to the steep terrain in the Yangping Pass area, the two armies launched a tug-of-war that lasted for more than half a year."
"In the end, the prime minister had no choice but to retreat in anger, leaving Liu Bei to monopolize the land in Hanzhong."
Having said that, his face seemed to become more and more excited the more he spoke. He paused for a moment and then continued his analysis:
"At that time, Liu Bei won a great victory in Hanzhong, so he did not lead his main force to take advantage of the situation and go north to attack Guanlong, Liangzhou and other places."
"This is also because although the Shu army captured Hanzhong, it has suffered considerable losses after more than half a year of stalemate. Yizhou may not be able to support Liu Bei's army to cross the Qinling Mountains again and support his expedition."
"But now there has been no large-scale war between the two sides for nearly two years. With Yizhou being known as the land of abundance, perhaps Liu Bei has rekindled his ambition to attack Guan and Liang?"
I heard Yang Fu's extremely serious analysis.
Zhang Ji only thought about it briefly and was already convinced.
"What Mr. Yi said is true!"
"I was negligent. Thank you Yishan. If you hadn't deduced from the side, when the Shu army really invaded, we might have been caught off guard?"
After saying this, Zhang Jilian raised his hands and thanked him.
"I have given you too much credit."
Yang Fu responded humbly.
…
The fact that Huo Jun died in the military due to illness also caused a wave of uproar among the civil and military officials stationed in Liangzhou and other border areas!
However, because Zhao Tong had already taken over the position of governor in advance.
After the Cao family felt that there was no flaw between the two counties, the storm gradually receded like a warm wave.
The border between the two sides has regained the brief tranquility of the past.
However, both sides know that small-scale fighting on the border is simply unavoidable!
I don't know when, maybe there will be a big fight.
The words are divided into two parts.
As Zhao Tong took his confidants and the special "prisoner" Jiang Wei who was kept in the army, he rode all the way to the county to argue.
After many days of running around.
Zhao Tong went along and arrived successfully.
The personal guard general Huo Zhong, who had already heard the news of his replacement, fulfilled his mission and had already assembled all the officers and men in the army to form a formation, and led all the generals to greet him on both sides of the military camp.
Zhao Tong is also a general who has been in the military for several years.
He knows very well that the greatest thing in the military is to control military power.
If you cannot absolutely control the army, then everything is vain!
It was precisely because he knew the pros and cons that after Zhao Tong and everyone arrived at Xiabian, they went straight to the camp outside the city.
From a distance, I watched a group of people galloping towards me on horseback.
The leader was wearing a silver-white battle robe. He was eight feet long, his face was delicate and elegant, and he had a strong aura of majesty all over his body.
Huo Zhong was no stranger to Zhao Tong. Who could he be if he saw him now?
He then quickly waved his hand and said, "Get ready to welcome us!"
The words have just fallen, and you haven't waited for the words to gradually disappear in the air.
Zhao Tongtong took the lead and ran over.
"The general and the generals in the army will meet with Governor Zhao!"
"See the Governor!"
As Huo Zhong went to the direction of the horse he was riding and bowed his hands to pay homage, the generals and generals standing on both sides of him couldn't help but worship after hearing this.
Seeing this, Zhao Tong quickly jumped off his horse and waved his hand to everyone to follow suit.
Immediately, with a peaceful look on his face, he slowly approached and helped Huo Zhong up. Then he looked around at the generals and shouted: "Generals, please forgive me!"
"In the future, I will take over from Governor Huo to guard the city. I still need your help."
One word fell out.
Seeing this moment, Zhao Tong did not show any airs, and his words were even more friendly.
The eyes of the generals and commanders around him unconsciously had a hint of admiration in their eyes.
Zhao Ying, who was watching this scene closely from behind, could not help but feel a hint of surprise in his eyes again.
Although it has been so long, she has already known that Zhao Tong's coordination ability is very strong.
But as he is now, he has just taken office and has just arrived, and he can make all the generals and commanders secretly impressed.
There was only deep admiration in her eyes!
Immediately afterwards.
The two leaders exchanged greetings with each other.
Zhao Tong held Huo Zhong's hands tightly and said, "General Huo, I knew what happened here on the way."
"Is it really thanks to you taking charge of the overall situation this time?"
After he finished speaking, he seemed to ponder for a long time, and then explained, "This time, Governor Huo unfortunately died of illness in the army. If you hadn't been ordered to do so at the critical moment, you would command all the ministries to seal the camp and not let any information leak out."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid that Cao's army would have descended on the city before we could wait for the King's order to return."
After spouting a series of words, Zhao Tong stared at him with bright eyes and boasted extremely solemnly.
