Chapter five hundred and thirtieth: leisurely my heart
Yang Huiyu returned to his home in Yong'anli, changed his clothes and took a nap for a while, then went to the front hall and courtyard to do some chores.
When she was cleaning up in the study, she picked up a porcelain bottle and wiped it with a cloth. Because it was a decorative vessel and not practical, the bottle neck was very thin. She wanted to wipe the inside of the bottle with a cloth, but she couldn't reach it.
After going in, she had to clean the open area through the cloth. At this time, there was a muffled thunder outside, and she came back to her senses and put down the bottle. She looked sideways at the scene outside the door and saw dark clouds, which might be necessary.
It rains heavily.
But it wasn't until the morning of the next day that the heavy rain came down.
In the courtyard of the front hall of the General's Mansion, Qin Liang walked quickly up the stone steps, just in time to escape the rain. The rain was falling very fast. If Qin Liang hadn't taken a shortcut from behind the attic, it might have happened in his own house today.
He was soaked until he was soaked in water.
First, large raindrops hit the tiles, making a clear and dense sound of "ding-dong". After a short while, the "swishing..." heavy rain turned into a curtain of rain.
This is indeed the weather that should be expected in midsummer. He looked down and saw that the area between the red robes that was wet by raindrops had darkened in color, which looked obvious. However, this rainwater dries quickly, so he did not need to use it before meeting the guests.
Change clothes.
The recent temperature has not been very high. After noticing the red official uniform on his body and the heavy rain in front of him, Qin Liang realized that midsummer was coming.
The climate in each place is different. It rains heavily in Luoyang, but not in Huainan. If the climate is normal in a year, it will take a while for Huainan to experience frequent heavy rains, so that the water levels of various rivers will rise sharply.
Qin Liang stood on the platform for a while, and then thought of Yang Huiyu, whom he had just met yesterday. Yang Huiyu was very entangled, and obviously resisted the idea of annihilation.
After all, Yang Huiyu was not Wang Xuanji, and Qin Liang couldn't rush to make any promises at that time. Otherwise, he said that he wanted to be crowned king, and then he could give her a title? After speaking out his disobedience so directly, Qin Liang finally felt that the time was not right yet.
Mature.
Only when you are well prepared can you talk about things like making a king or a duke. At that time, you can have multiple concubines, their status is not low, and probably both the Yang family and the Wang family can accept it.
Qin Liang should not be too anxious at the moment. He must first improve his prestige as a general, and then depose Cao Fang! After doing this, he will shock the world and at the same time secure his position as a powerful official with power over the whole government.
At this moment, Zhu Deng came out from the back door, bowed and said, "General, all the officials have arrived in the west hall."
Zhu Deng used to be a servant, but he was changed to a secretary not long ago, but some of the things he did before are still being done now.
Qin Liang nodded and said "Yeah", turned around and walked towards the back door.
The people who came today were not only officials, but also some courtiers, generals of the Chinese army, and the leading general Ling Huyu were also present. The side hall was completely occupied at once. If the meeting was held in the front hall, it probably wouldn't seem too empty.
But there is an advantage in this place. They sit more compactly, seem closer to each other, and it is not so strenuous to talk.
Everyone stood up one after another and bowed to Qin Liang. Qin Liang smiled and bowed to both sides in return.
"Everyone, take your seats." Qin Liang greeted, and then he knelt down at the upper banquet table, spread out his arms and shook them, placing his wide sleeves on both sides.
Everyone also knelt down and sat back, chatting for a while.
At this time, the guards came in carrying a wooden frame and placed it on the upper side. On the wooden frame hung a map drawn on paper.
The middle base general Yang Wei stood up, bowed to everyone, knelt down next to the map, pointed at the map and said: "Look, sir, this is the map of the two cities of Dongguan, Dongxingdi, and Dongwu. This is from General Chariot and Cavalry.
It was written by the governor Shi Pei Jiyan and filled in boldly by the general himself."
Pei Xiu was good at drawing and was well-known, but his drawing method was detailed and complicated, and ordinary people couldn't understand it at first glance. So after Qin Liang got the drawing, he made the key lines bold and eye-catching, so that everyone could see it more easily.
When Linghu Yu and others heard the sound, they all turned their heads to take a closer look.
Yang Wei said: "This area is Penglize (Chaohu Lake), which flows down from the southeast along the Ruxu River. Here is the Dongxing Dike built by the Wu State, and the two cities built by Zhuge Ke."
In fact, Qin Liang never went to see it in person, because when he was working as an advisor to the governor's army in Huainan, Dong
There are Wu soldiers on the Xing side, which is more dangerous.
Of course Pei Xiu has never been there, but when Wang Ling launched the Battle of Jiangling, the troops on the eastern front attacked Dongxing in a large scale. The basis for Pei Xiu's drawing should be through the generals and officials in the army,????????
????????Find out the situation from various sources.
Yang Wei used the map and began to explain the mystery to everyone in detail.
The Dongxing Dike was built by the people of Wu State earlier, and Zhuge Ke only repaired it. The embankment was the dam intercepting the Ruxu River, but the middle part of the dam was not built too high, so the embankment was not completely closed. The location of the embankment
, just south of Ruxu Mountain and Qibao Mountain.
There is another location on the north side of the dike called Ruxukou, which is at a strategic location between Ruxu Mountain and Qibao Mountain. However, Ruxukou is not on the Ruxu River, but on the Caogong Canal (aqueduct); it is located
The west side of Ruxushui main road.
Therefore, during the dry season, such as winter, the Ruxu River will be cut off by Dongxing Dike, making it impossible to sail at least!
The season when the Wei army went south was usually in winter, so it was impossible to make a sudden launch and drive south along the Ruxu River. The ships could only use the aqueduct and bypass the Dongxing embankment, but the water in the aqueduct was also shallow and narrow at that time, making it very difficult to navigate.
Moreover, on the aqueduct, Zhuge Ke built two more cities on the mountain, blocking the water to defend Ruxukou! Before the Wei army captured Ruxukou and built a dike in the east, they basically could not rely on water transportation to attack.
However, when the water rose in season, the Wei army had a headache! The Dongxing embankment blocked the water flow, and Ruxu water poured into Penglize (Chao Lake), submerging the surrounding land, and even the Wei army's fortifications would be submerged.
At this time, in turn, it is the season that is conducive to the dispatch of Wu's army. Boats can be sailed on the channel in the middle of Dongxing Embankment and the aqueduct; Wu's navy will easily drive along the river and directly into Chaohu Lake!
Zhuge Ke repaired the dams, built the fortress, and stationed troops there. The result was that the Wu army could only attack the Wei State, and the Wei army could not directly go south to attack and plunder.
The Wei army in Huainan was being beaten unilaterally!
Wu Jun deserves to be called a "water thief" and he is indeed very good at playing with water.
Yang Wei said: "If this place is not captured, our army will be at a disadvantage in Huainan. The water thieves can accumulate strength nearby and wait for the opportunity to launch an attack on Huainan at any time."
Qin Liang also said: "My second uncle Wang Dudu sent a letter that Zhuge Ke has cultivated fields near Xutang. This has brought the fields under our eyes. This place should have been destroyed long ago!"
He didn't have the nerve to mention the incident in Wancheng. At that time, Zhuge Ke was stationed across the Dabie Mountains, but was quickly driven away by Sima Yi with his troops. This time, Zhuge Ke was stationed in Dongguan and stationed under his nose.
Linghu Yu said: "Dongxing cannot be left alone. During the Battle of Hanzhong, as soon as something happened to the court, the Wu army would threaten Huainan from there, easily shaking the Wei court. This year is not to say that the Wu army will invade again. They are so close, and Huainan is basically safe. No!"
At this time, Jia Chong advised: "Dongxing has mountains and rivers. In the winter of the seventh year of Zhengshi, our army rushed to attack Dongguan, and unfortunately suffered a great defeat. As a result, the prestige of the imperial court was damaged. Guanqiu Jian boldly attacked Dongguan. Youzhou has raised an army to rebel! This is an ominous place, the general must be cautious, otherwise it will affect the stability of the Korean army."
When Qin Liang heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Jia Chong.
Jia Chong often visited the general's residence and gave Qin Liang advice on how to kill people close to the emperor. Qin Liang believed that Jia Chong was someone who deliberately and actively approached the general.
But Jia Chong obviously still doesn’t understand Qin Liang’s carefree heart!
What Qin Liang needs most now is to once again prove his military strength and merit as a general, so that it will be more secure to carry out the abolition of the establishment.
【In view of the general environment,
If we don't attack Soochow, how can we directly destroy Shu? When Qin Liang conquered Hanzhong, it took him a full year before and after leaving Luoyang. Continuing to conquer Shu is still a big project. In contrast, fighting Wu in the Jiangbei area , on the contrary, it is a more "cautious" choice.
Perhaps Jia Chong still wanted to rely on power to kill people and plan for Qin Liang from this aspect.
But Qin Liang disagrees with this. Because if this method is not used properly, it will bring the source of hatred and fear to himself. Qin Liang's practical skills in this area are not necessarily better than those of the ancients. Moreover, if he wants to kill people, he can't Division can only be effective if you don't win over people; then you have to give up benefits and rights to another group of people, but now do you still think that the gentry is not strong enough?
On the contrary, war should be the core business of powerful ministers and even emperors!
As long as the military ability is proved, others will not dare to act rashly, because others can easily think that once the contradiction becomes serious, the leader will directly eliminate it through military means, such as the fate of Sima Yi and Guanqiu Jian.
At this time, the clan brother Asu took over Jia Chong's topic and said seriously: "In the winter of the seventh year of Zhengshi, the imperial court mobilized most of the country's troops. The army attacked Jiangling City in Jingzhou for several months, attracting a large number of Wu troops. Such is the case , the Wu army on the eastern front was still outnumbered and won a complete victory. It can be seen from this that Zhuge Ke had some elite soldiers under his command, as well as Ding Feng and other generals who were good at recruiting. Moreover, the Wu people defended particularly hard, attacking Dongguan, I’m afraid it will indeed be a fierce battle.”
Asu has been Zongzheng for a long time after his comeback, but Qin Liang has always felt that he is a person with military talents based on his previous achievements. People who really know the military are indeed more cautious in their attitude towards war. Qin Liang is very cautious about this. The rational suggestion was not refuted, but instead nodded in encouragement.
Of course, what Qin Liang wants to do is difficult to stop by persuasion alone. Only by not allowing Wang Ling to attack Dongguan because of power relations can Qin Liang compromise, just like when Wang Ling was alive.
As expected, Asu added: "Zhong Ming is the general, and he is in charge of all military affairs at home and abroad. Decisions should be made based on the general's wishes and the opinions of his servants. I only make reference to details."
At this time, there was a brief silence in the hall. Yang Hu and others did not say anything and did not admonish Qin Liang anymore.
