Four hundred and seventieth chapters embarrassment
With the persuasion of the generals, Wang Jinhu temporarily put away his sadness, said goodbye to Qin Liang, and returned to the military camp. After a long time, he took the two lieutenants from the Xiaoqi camp and several generals who participated in the battle back to the central military yard.
Wang Jinhu said to his generals in public: "My father passed away, and I have to go back to Luoyang for the funeral. General Wei has agreed to this. General Wei is a member of his family. After I leave the military camp, you should obey the orders of the general without any mistakes! Wei."
Generals are rewarded and punished in a certain manner. Those who have meritorious services are rewarded, and those who have made mistakes are dealt with according to military law. You should take good care of your officers and soldiers and continue to serve with all your heart."
The generals bowed to Qin Liang and said, "My servants are willing to look up to the general and obey his orders."
When Qin Liang heard this, his solemn mood suddenly became a little joyful, but because the general was his maternal ancestor, he couldn't show joy at this time, so he didn't show it at all. He just nodded slowly in response.
In this battle, Qin Liang was originally the commander-in-chief of the entire army and could directly issue military orders to the left and right schools of the Xiaoqi Camp. However, after everyone discussed it after the Battle of King Qin, the military power of the Luoyang Chinese Army had already been divided. The Xiaoqi Camp was an army directly under Wang Jinhu;
Therefore, Qin Liang usually would not interfere with the military affairs of Xiaoqi Camp. Any deployment would be issued through Wang Jinhu.
But as soon as Wang Jinhu left the army and left, and said these words before leaving, Qin Liang could control the Xiaoqi camp more effectively. Now he has 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers and horses, and his strength has been enhanced, which is a good thing
.
Qin Liang then happily ordered Xin Chang to write an official document allowing Wang Jinhu to leave the camp, then signed with a pen, took off General Wei's seal ribbon, and stamped his seal on the paper.
"When will Third Uncle leave?" Qin Liang asked while doing trivial matters.
Wang Jinhu turned his head and glanced outside the door, cupped his hands and said, "We'll leave at dawn tomorrow morning."
Qin Liang said: "The army is outside, and I have important responsibilities for the court. I am very sorry that I cannot rush back in time for the funeral."
Wang Jinhu said: "My father's spirit in heaven definitely knows that Zhongming can't help himself."
Qin Liang added: "I will write a home letter to my uncle, your uncle, in a while, and my third uncle will take it back with me."
Wang Jinhu nodded, bowed and said: "Zhongming, I will take my leave. See you in Luoyang."
Qin Liang said: "I will see off my third uncle tomorrow morning."
The generals of Xiaoqi Camp said goodbye one after another and followed Wang Jinhu back to the camp.
The remaining generals talked a lot and looked at Qin Liang from time to time. Qin Liang pretended to be calm and said: "The general passed away, and the relatives are very sad. But this is mainly a funeral for the Wang family, you can just concentrate on military affairs."
Pan Zhong muttered: "Is everything going to be fine in Luoyang?"
Qin Liang said: "What can happen? Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother has always been in charge of government affairs. The Wang family and the Linghu family are also relatives."
Pan Zhong wanted to say something else, but Yang Wei gave him a gentle tug and took the lead in cupping his fists and saying: "I'll take my leave first. If I have any military affairs, I'll go back to the central army to pay homage to the general."
Qin Liang nodded and said: "Okay."
The generals then saluted one after another and left the old main room.
At this time, Qin Liang's army was stationed in the small town of Huangshaji, and there was a house to live in. There was more than one room in the house, so there would be no place for discussion and sleeping in the same place. He glanced at the person standing at the bottom
Yinci turned around and walked into the back room.
Sure enough, Yinci quickly followed in, bowed behind him and said nothing.
Qin Liang turned around and said: "Please pack up and go back to Guanzhong first, and then send someone to contact Zhu Deng. If anything happens in Luoyang, send someone to Hanzhong in time."
Yinci bowed and said, "Yes!"
This is where Qin Liang sleeps at night. Next to the dilapidated wooden structure, there is a paper map hanging on the wall. Qin Liang walked to the wall and looked at the map for a while, then walked back and forth in the room with poor lighting.
Pacing.
In this situation, Qin Liang somewhat understood Cao Cao's mood back then. He was furious after hearing Yang Xiu's interpretation of the word "chicken ribs"!
In addition to the deep-seated reasons that everyone knew about Yang Xiu's death, Qin Liang suddenly felt that there was a possibility that Cao Cao was in a bad mood and went on a killing spree! At that time, the Battle of Hanzhong was originally unfavorable, Cao Cao was in a very difficult situation, and Yang Xiu still
If you want to show off how smart he is, who else will you do if you don't take it out on him?
At that time, Cao Cao's problem was that he could not win. If he had won, he would not have lost Dingjun Mountain. Dingjun Mountain was originally in Cao Cao's hands, and troops would definitely be stationed there, because Dingjun Mountain was flanked by Liu Bei.
Breakthrough. Liu Bei first sent troops to Mamingge Road on the north side (according to local county annals, Mamingge Road is north of Yang'an Pass, not south) but failed, and then went to the south side to Dingjun Mountain. A military strategist like Cao Cao would definitely be able to do this in advance.
Determined.
Now Qin Liang is also facing a difficult situation.
However, his problem is no longer that he cannot win. On the contrary, he had all the advantages before. As long as he persists and captures Seoul and Yang'an Pass, the battle of Hanzhong will basically be decided! Now Qin Liang's problem is the imperial court
Something happened.
Just give up the three counties of Hanzhong, Wudu, and Yinping that you have acquired? This is not an ordinary land of three counties, but a key place that Wei and Shu must fight for! The two countries have been fighting for decades, and the total number of casualties among soldiers and civilians is at least
It's hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, the hostility of the Wei State to the Shu State was far greater than that of the Wu State. Because the Wu State had accepted the King of Wu who was canonized by the Wei Emperor, the Wu State recognized the legitimacy of the Wei Emperor in disguise; while the Shu State had always treated Cao Wei
He is called a thief, a thief who usurps the country! The Emperor of Wei is a thief, so what are the ministers who are loyal to the Emperor of Wei?
The achievements and prestige of recovering the land of three counties are so great that they cannot be compared with fighting several civil wars!
Qin Liang had estimated before that if he could capture Hanzhong and replace Wang Ling, his reputation would be enough, and he would no longer need to destroy the country; even if Wang Ling was alive, he could force Wang Ling to give up part of his power, and even Wang Ling
It is not impossible for Ling to take the initiative to be promoted to the position of Da Sima!
As a result, things turned out like this, and Qin Liang was angry because of it.
The problem is that even if you choose to withdraw, problems are likely to occur. When the soldiers hear that they can go back, they will inevitably be eager to return. However, Jiang Wei's main force still retains its combat effectiveness. If you are not careful, the Wei army will suffer a defeat when it retreats.
Embarrassed.
At that time, Qin Liang not only returned without success, but also suffered a defeat and lost many troops. This attack on Hanzhong can basically be classified as a defeat. He did not get the prestige he wanted, and may be criticized for being good at internal wars but not at foreign wars.
.
Qin Liang couldn't help but think carefully, why did he rush back to Luoyang? Of course it was to fight for power, and he was fighting for the power of governing a very popular minister. General is just a title, General, Taifu, and Sima are all
The same thing... and Cao Cao is Sikong, one of the three powerless men who are now worshiped by the Bodhisattva.
There are several methods, such as Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, which are derived from the late emperor's edict, don't think about it. Either rely on prestige and merit, and are popular among the people. In this case, the superior can best convince the public, and those who don't like it have nothing to say on the stage.
Either rely on threats to force everyone to obey out of fear, or kill those who disobey. Moreover, they did not fight the battle that must be won, and hurriedly led the troops back to Luoyang. It was clear at a glance what An's intentions were! He wanted to inherit It's normal for the throne to be so urgent, but the general is not the throne, and General Wei can pretend to be Huang Yue.
Of course, if Qin Liang did not withdraw his troops, there would be other risks. Otherwise, he would not think so much.
Qin Liang stayed alone in the back room for a while, and finally returned to the main room as if nothing had happened. Only a few subordinate officials were still there. At this time, there was only the last afterglow left outside the door, and everyone had dinner together in the center.
Without the generals present, the atmosphere at the table was particularly dull. Qin Liang did not take the initiative to mention it, and everyone was more cautious. After all, the matter involved a wide range of things, including the Wang family and other relatives.
Qin Liang has talked about the feelings between relatives before in public, so there are some things that officials cannot easily say on the table unless Qin Liang takes the initiative to ask in private.
After dinner, Qin Liang inquired about the military affairs of each battalion and met with several rangers in person. It was getting late, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
In his daze, he seemed to have forgotten that he was in the Wei Dynasty, but he arrived at a high-rise building again. Suddenly someone informed him that he could pack up his personal belongings and get out. Then things happened intermittently, probably because he realized that he was heavily in debt and He couldn't afford the mortgage, so he had to go to the auction. But the auction wasn't enough, so he still had to repay the remaining money. Does this mean that after working for so many years, he returned to nothing overnight and still owed money to others? Somehow, he came to the rooftop and There was no plan, but someone next to me suddenly jumped from a breathtaking height!
Qin Liang suddenly sat up from the couch, stretched out his hand and found that he was sweating profusely.
After a while, a smell of dust mixed with moisture entered his nose. In the dim light, Qin Liang saw the backward and bulky wooden furniture in the room.
He quickly came to his senses and understood where he was; and even in his previous life, he had not reached that step, he had only seen the risks. He breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a pounding in his heart. ring.
Qin Liang thought that he had cured his mental internal friction, and when faced with very important matters, he would often make decisions quickly. But he did not expect that at this time, the inner demons that were still buried in the dust would be aroused again.
"Duk duk duk!" There was a knocking sound outside the wooden door, and Wang Kang's voice said: "General, General Qin?"
Qin Liang said: "It's okay, I suddenly felt thirsty and wanted to find some water."
Wang Kang's voice said: "I'm going to fetch water for the general."
Qin Liang replied: "Very good."
After a while, Wang Kang came in with a lampstand in one hand and an earthen pot in the other. He knelt down on the straw mat next to him, put the things on the wooden table with the fallen edge, and said: "Although it is cold water, boil it last night Come on, let it cool down."
Qin Liang sat down on the edge of the cave, said "hmm", picked up the earthen jar and drank water.
One of them sat with his feet up, and the other sat on his knees. After staying for a while, Qin Liang asked: "How many years have we known each other?"
Wang Kang thought for a while and said, "It must have been more than ten or twenty years? It has been ten years since I followed the general and left Pingyuan County."
Qin Liang nodded and said, "Yes, it's been more than ten years."
