Chapter 209 Which is more important (tenth more, Chapter 790!)
Xiang Lang was furious. He didn't want to argue with Lai Min. He knew very well who Lai Min was. What he was angry about was that Lai Min intervened, interrupted Zhuge Liang's thinking, and used such a political label. To suppress him will inevitably arouse Zhuge Liang's rebellious psychology.
Zhuge Liang is a smart man, but who says smart people don't have rebellious psychology? It can be said that Xiang Lang has watched Zhuge Liang grow up and knows his character very well. It is precisely because of this that he took such a big detour. He did not hesitate to compare Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, just to prevent Zhuge Liang from doubting his intentions. Now it was better, because of Lai Min's foul mouth, all his efforts were in vain.
Xiang Lang turned his face in a rare move and angrily said: "Zu'er Furu, what do you know about military and state affairs? You only know how to read fragments and say some incomprehensible words. After reading so many books, don't you know how to be courteous and courteous? Get out of here." Get aside!"
Although Xiang Lang is famous for his theory plays, he is famous for his good temper after he has been idle. Today was the first time in his life that he yelled at Lai Min. Not only was Lai Min so surprised that he didn't know how to answer, but even Zhuge Liang was shocked. Startled.
However, at any moment, Zhuge Liang felt uneasy in his heart. He forced a laugh twice and waved his hand to signal Xiang Lang to calm down. "Xiang Gong, Lai Jingda is such a person. Don't argue with him." Then he turned his face and said seriously to Lai Min: "When discussing military strategies, why bother to involve too much, far-fetched ideas, add false accusations, and frame others for crimes? Isn't this what a scholar should say and do?"
Lai Min's face turned red and he stepped back in disbelief.
Zhuge Liang stood up and scanned the audience with majestic eyes. He was tall and stood out from the crowd when he stood up, condescending, adding a bit of coercion and not being angry.
"Gentlemen, I am deeply grateful for your kind words. However, everything in front of me reminds Liang of twenty years ago." Zhuge Liang put one hand behind his back, twirled the tip of his beard with the other, and said unhurriedly. " I remember that when Cao Cao went to Jingzhou, Liu Biao died, and Liu Cong was young and was bewitched by some villains. He surrendered to Cao Cao, and Jingzhou became Cao Cao's possession. But the lord refused to surrender, and led a few remaining soldiers to cross the Han River and retreat to Jiangxia. For the sake of the world's plan , Liang, following the order of the late Lord, went to Chaisang and united with Sun Quan to fight against Cao. At that time, the same was true in Jiangdong."
He stretched out his hand and circled his fingers: "The sound is falling."
Everyone was silent in embarrassment. Xiang Lang sighed secretly. He understood that Zhuge Liang had made up his mind and could not turn back no matter how much he tried to persuade him. He couldn't help but glared at Lai Min hatefully, and Lai Min also looked over at him. As soon as the person's eyes met, Lai Min stepped aside with a guilty conscience. Xiang Lang, who had not shown off his power for a long time, got angry and his power was really astonishing.
"Fortunately at that time, there were two wise men, Lu Zijing and Zhou Gongjin, who gave the King of Wu some guidance and showed how powerful he was. Only then did the King of Wu muster up the courage to fight Cao Cao with all his strength. If it weren't for these two people, the King of Wu today would be nothing more than A guest from Luoyang."
Zhuge Liang talked eloquently, recalled the past, and then connected it with the current situation. "The two generals Zhendong and Zhenbei stood firm in the pass. Cao Wei's main force of tens of thousands stopped outside the pass and joined the army of Wei Ba. He was not weak at the time, but he had the courage to take on the responsibility and fight with Sima Yi, the cavalry general of Cao Wei, fought a fierce battle on Wuguandao. With only ten thousand people, they were several times more powerful than their already powerful enemy. Are their difficulties smaller than ours? Aren't the dangers they face greater than ours? However, Why can’t they retreat from the fight?”
Zhuge Liang's face darkened and his voice became stern: "They did this to fulfill the late emperor's last wish and revive the Han Dynasty. They guarded Guanzhong just to give us enough time to seize Longyou and seize the Central Plains.
Establish a foundation. Compared with them, all the kings are so cowardly."
He waved his hand, and Hu Ji, the chief clerk, immediately stepped forward and lifted the cloth on the map, and handed a piece of thorn bamboo into Zhuge Liang's hand. Zhuge Liang took it and knocked on the table. "I have all the rights of Longyou.
The defenders were hoping for reinforcements. They must have been overjoyed when the reinforcements arrived today. However, Zhang He made a long-distance attack, traveling more than 3,000 miles in ten days. His army was exhausted and collapsed without a fight.
I have an army of 50,000, so what difficulty is there in dealing with this 10,000 exhausted army? Defeat Zhang He, and the vitality of the city is at stake. The only way out is to abandon the city. This is an opportunity for complete victory, how can we retreat?"
Zhuge Liang's voice was as loud as a bell, impassioned, and everyone was speechless. Xiang Lang was also silent, and he did not persuade him any more. Zhuge Liang's words were not unreasonable, but compared with his foolproof plan, this plan to fight was obviously very risky. Since
Zhang He has no logistics, and the advantage is to fight quickly, so why not wait for him to defeat himself, and why take the initiative to fight. Not having time to wait is just one aspect, Zhuge Liang probably still wants to take the opportunity to establish his power, to prove that he can use troops, which is not what everyone says
Be a scholar.
Xiang Lang admitted that Zhuge Liang was very smart and not exactly a scholar. It can be seen from his progress in the past few months that when the 50,000-strong army attacked the city, he commanded it in an orderly manner, at least without any obvious mistakes. Although the city of Shanggui was not destroyed,
, but Guo Huai never found a chance to counterattack, which is also true. But siege is one thing, and field battle is another, especially with infantry versus cavalry, and the opponent is the Wei army who is most familiar with the western theater.
The famous general Zhang He thought back then, when Dingjunshan killed Xiahou Yuan in one fell swoop, the whole army rejoiced, but Liu Bei said with great regret, "What's the use of killing Xiahou Yuan? The most troublesome general in the Wei army is Zhang He."
Facts later proved Liu Bei's words. Although Xia Houyuan died, the Wei army elected Zhang He as its general, and the army's morale was restored. They faced off with Liu Bei in Hanzhong for a long time. It was not until Cao Cao came in person that he led out the Hanzhong army. If it hadn't been for the changes in Yecheng at that time
, Cao Cao had no intention of fighting for Hanzhong. It is really hard to say what the outcome will be.
Now, Zhuge Liang wants to defeat Zhang He, but he has no idea what kind of person Zhang He is. He also doesn't know that ten thousand elite cavalry, even if they are exhausted, still have an advantage that cannot be ignored against fifty thousand infantry.
Xiang Lang was very frustrated. He knew that he could not convince Zhuge Liang. He suddenly thought that he didn't know what Ma Di would think if he were here. If he could realize this, he would definitely be able to convince Zhuge Liang.
Just when Xiang Lang was thinking of Ma Di, Ma Di came.
Ma Su was wearing a snow-white cloak and walked into the tent with great strides. Everyone was surprised when they saw Ma Su. Wasn't he laying siege to Yuzhong? Could it be that the city of Yuzhong was broken?
Zhuge Liang was also very happy. From the moment he heard that Ma Di was back, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, like a drowning person suddenly hugging a piece of wood. He believed that Ma Di must have similar thoughts to him.
"You Chang, why did you rush back from Yuzhong suddenly?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile: "Is there progress in the war?"
Ma Su cupped his hands and laughed loudly: "Prime Minister, I rushed back from Yuzhong, not because the war situation in Yuzhong has progressed, but because the prime minister has a great opportunity to take over Longyou."
Upon hearing these words, Zhuge Liang felt calm, but Xiang Lang sighed.
Ma Di walked out in front of the map and started talking. His thoughts were similar to Zhuge Liang's. They both felt that this was a good opportunity to fight. Defeating Zhang He would break the confidence of Guo Huai and others. Shanggui and Lieutenant General Yu surrendered without a fight.
, Longyou and even the entire Liangzhou are within easy reach. How could you let go of such a good opportunity and return to Hanzhong? Isn’t that stupid?
Seeing what Ma Di said and Zhuge Liang responding like this, the others no longer had any ideas. A military discussion quickly came to a conclusion with Ma Di's arrival. Any opinion is no longer an opinion. If you have an opinion, you can only keep it and wait and see what happens.
Bar.
Xiang Lang walked out of the camp and sighed up to the sky. He did not give up and stood outside the Chinese army camp. He waited for a long time until Ma Di, who had stayed to continue discussing with Zhuge Liang, came out. Seeing Xiang Lang pacing back and forth in front of the camp, Ma Di was stunned.
After a moment, he immediately went up to greet me, bowed and saluted: "Mr. Xiang, are you waiting for me?"
"Yeah." Xiang Lang nodded, "Will you come with me for a walk?"
Ma Su hesitated for a moment and nodded generously: "Okay."
The two of them walked forward slowly, but Xiang Lang remained silent. He didn't know what to say to Ma Di. Ma Di and Zhuge Liang had been discussing for so long, and it was already a plan. If he said it again, Ma Di would listen to him and change his mind.
Is it? They are all from Yicheng, Xiangyang, and have good family connections. The five Ma family brothers all treat him as their elder. However, Ma Su is extremely talented and arrogant, but he is not easy to listen to others' advice.
people.
Xiang Lang thought for a long time, but still couldn't hold it back.
"You Chang, before you came, I made a plan to the Prime Minister."
Ma Di blinked his eyes and glanced at Xiang Lang: "Xiang Gong, the Prime Minister just told me. The Prime Minister said that Xiang Gong's plan is based on experience."
Xiang Lang smiled bitterly, knowing that Ma Di had misunderstood. He had waited so long not because he was worried that Zhuge Liang would misunderstand him.
"Youchang, I still insist on my opinion and do not agree to an immediate decisive battle with Zhang He." Xiang Lang stopped and stared at Ma Su worriedly: "Retreat to Longshan, protect Guanzhong, and defend instead of attacking.
Wouldn't it be safer if the enemy defeated himself?"
Ma Su thought for a while and asked instead: "So Xiang Gong thinks, with Guanzhong as the biggest victory, who will be the first to do it?"
Xiang Lang was speechless. He knew where he was wrong. He was only thinking about the war situation, while Zhuge Liang and Ma Di were thinking about the politics of the entire Shu Kingdom. They were not focusing on the same thing at all. It wasn't that he didn't think about it.
He himself was left idle on these issues for this reason. The difference between him and Zhuge Liang and Ma Di was which one was more important.
Clearly, Zhuge Liang believed it was more important to resist the growth of other forces.
"Xiang Gong, in this battle... we have a greater advantage." Seeing Xiang Lang's depressed face, Ma Di couldn't bear it, and then persuaded: "After hearing the news of Zhang He's arrival, I have withdrawn the army from Yuzhong and are in the process of
The starry night is coming. Once the army is surrounded, Zhang He's more than 10,000 people will be the turtles in the urn, and they can be easily captured."
"So, the Prime Minister has agreed to your suggestion?"
"Yes." Ma Su smiled slightly: "The Prime Minister will hold on and contain Zhang He, and I will lead the army to cover him from behind."
Xiang Lang glanced at Ma Su with regret: "Youchang, if you win this battle, it will certainly be a great achievement. But if you lose, Youchang, I'm worried that the Ma family in Xiangyang will lose one of its pillars. Talented."
Ma Su laughed and cupped his hands: "Thank you very much for your praise. I have to rush back, so I won't spend more time with you. After this battle, I will come back to Xiang Gong for advice."
Looking at Ma Di hurried away, Xiang Lang sighed.
