Chapter 559 will be outside, the emperor will not accept
Huo Yi is the son of a founding father and is a steady man. He has worked for Zhuge Liang for more than ten years and has never made any mistakes. But that's all. He mainly relies on self-study and self-enlightenment in the military. It doesn't matter, most people do.
This is true, but after Wei Ba's debut, he rose rapidly and became a rising star in the Shu Han military circles. Many people think this is because he has a father.
The reason for personal teaching. The art of military use is not Confucianism. It can be learned from teachers or even self-study. Most of it is passed down from father to son and is influenced by the eyes and ears. In addition to theoretical study, it also requires a lot of practice. If theory can be taught by oneself, is there anyone who can teach it?
On the battlefield, the teaching of pointing and hands is very important. The growth experience of the three Wei brothers fully proves this truth.
Compared with the Wei Ba brothers, it is a pity for those young people whose fathers died in Yiling. Although they are all warriors, they have no one to guide them, and their growth rate is far slower than that of the Wei brothers. Wei Ba once suggested setting up a military academy to train young people
Although Zhuge Liang, the general, rejected this suggestion, he began to consciously teach the young people around him.
Huo Yi and Jiang Wei are two of them. Compared with Jiang Wei, who was demoted, Huo Yi's promotion speed pales in comparison, which also caused a lot of dissatisfaction within the Jingxiang Clan. There was some overt and covert fighting between Huo Yi and Jiang Wei, and Zhuge Liang even
See it in your eyes, see it in your youth
It is necessary to provoke competition between people, but it should be controlled within the allowable range. Huo Yi and Jiang Wei are both relatively introverted people, and they will not do things as well as Wei Ba. It is precisely because
In this way, Zhuge Liang took them with him.
"Prime Minister, what will happen if the Wei army doesn't attack? Are we just going to wait like this?" Jiang Wei asked, his tone a little worried.
"What do you suggest?"
"We should take the initiative and besiege Jixian and Yuzhong with a large army. The reason why Zhang He dared to attack is because he has Jixian and Yuzhong as his base. He can return to these two cities at any time to replenish food and grass. If we capture these two cities,
Zhang He has become a tree without roots and water without a source, so he will definitely come to save us. We just happen to have a decisive battle with him. This is the saying that if we attack him, we will save him."
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and turned his head towards Huo Yi: "What do you think?"
Huo Yi shook his head. "I think the Wei army will not stop attacking forever. If we want to consider the long term, the Wei army has no choice but to attack Guanzhong at this moment. They are far from ready. Just because of the important geography of Guanzhong, they have to act in a hurry. Based on the current situation
Judging from the current situation, they should be more anxious than us and hope for a quick resolution. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for them."
Zhuge Liang nodded approvingly. "What Shaoxian said makes sense. When considering a war, you can't just look at the situation at hand. You must look further and zoom in. We are in Guanzhong now, but we cannot limit our sights to Guanzhong.
, but you should look at the world, so that you can recognize where the key points are. As Shaoxian said, the Wei army is starting to attack now, not because they are ready. It is because they can't wait any longer.
.Transporting grain from Hedong to support Longxi is a long journey and passes through areas controlled by the Hu people. The consumption is too great. In the long run, it will be very detrimental to them. It is precisely because of this that they took the initiative to launch an attack, hoping to recapture Guanzhong and reverse the situation.
.In this case, how could he not attack for a long time! If we attack it, we will save it, and Guanzhong is the place where they must save it. As long as we hold Guanzhong, we will be in an invincible position."
Jiang Wei blushed a little. What Zhuge Liang said was equivalent to agreeing with Huo Yi and denying his opinion. In the contest between the two of them, Huo Yi once again had the upper hand.
Just when Jiang Wei felt embarrassed, a personal guard came in and delivered a letter. Jiang Wei grabbed it before Huo Yi could and handed it to Zhuge Liang with both hands. He took a glance and found that it was Wei Yan, the general of Zhenbei.
After writing this, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. He knew that Zhuge Liang went to Wei Yan and asked Wei Yan to step in.
Wei Ba returned to Chengdu. Wei Yan replied now. I don’t know whether Wei Ba agreed or not. If Wei Ba gave up Jiaozhou and returned to Chengdu to take up the important task of supervising the transportation of grain and grass, Zhuge Liang would definitely give him corresponding compensation. In the eyes of the prime minister, he
His status will also become higher and higher. This will undoubtedly affect his future.
Zhuge Liang took the letter and read it, but didn't express anything. Jiang Wei couldn't help but asked: "Prime Minister, will Wei Ziyu return to Chengdu?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and handed the letter in his hand to Jiang Wei. "You should also take a look! This is Wei Ba's estimate of the future war situation. Although he is far away in Jiaozhou, he knows the situation in Guanzhong very well."
Jiang Wei was shocked when he heard this. Although the prime minister said it calmly, the meaning behind his words was a little unhappy. He quickly took the letter and took a quick look. It contained Wei Ba's analysis of the situation in Guanzhong. He said
, the Battle of Guanzhong is likely to be a protracted battle, which is difficult to complete in a short period of time. In order to ensure that the Guanzhong battlefield can
He wanted to stay in Jiaozhou to raise food and fodder for the Prime Minister and ensure rear support to reduce the pressure on Chengdu. His words were high-sounding, but his purpose was obvious. He wanted to stay in Jiaozhou and not return to Chengdu. In this way
Zhuge Liang must make concessions to Li Yan in exchange for him going to Chengdu.
Jiang Wei read the letter without saying anything, and handed it to Huo Yi. Zhuge Liang waited quietly, looking at the map without saying a word, but his eyes were a little wandering. Jiang Wei would see it, but he was a little happy in his heart.
He knew that Zhuge Liang's expression showed that he was very unhappy now.
Huo Yi was silent after reading the letter. While he was thinking, Zhuge Liang asked lightly: "Xian Shao, do you think what Wei Ba said makes sense?"
Huo Yi was silent for another moment, and then said: "Prime Minister, I think Wei Ba has considered it more carefully, not just because of the food and grass issue, but because of Sun Quan. The reason why we can fight against Wei with all our strength is because
Sun Quan is entangled by Wei Ba. If he returns to Chengdu, he will
It is difficult to guarantee that Sun Quan will not send troops to threaten Yizhou like last time. Although the Shu Han is an ally, it is very important. Sun Quan advocates power and focuses more on practical interests. He will not be trapped by the covenant. With the covenant
Instead, it might be more appropriate to have Wei Ba in Jiaozhou to contain him."
Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed and he was noncommittal to Huo Yi's opinion. He waved his hand. "I'm a little tired and need to rest for a while. You all go back and think about it carefully. We will discuss it with the generals together at the meeting tomorrow."
"Here." Jiang Wei and Huo Yi bowed and saluted, turned around and retreated. Jiang Wei closed the tent door. Zhuge Liang sat in the tent, took the letter again, read it again, and sighed quietly.
, his eyes were a little melancholy, a little lost, and even more unspeakably sad.
…
Gao Ping.
Zhang He got off his horse and strode forward. His face was dark, as cold as the winter wind, without any expression. Qin Lang was just a sycophant, and had never experienced any big war, but he became the leader of this war.
The supreme commander, which made Zhang He, who had experienced many battles, a little uneasy. But he had no choice but to suppress his unhappiness, come to see Qin Lang and listen to Qin Lang's command.
When he walked in front of Qin Lang, before he could open his jaw and bend down, Qin Lang had already stood up, took a step forward, and bowed politely to the end.
"Thank you for your hard work, General."
Zhang He was stunned for a moment and quickly returned the salute. Although Qin Lang's military position was not as high as his, he was a close confidant of His Majesty the Emperor. He was very surprised that Qin Lang took the initiative to pay him such a great gift.
"General, you're welcome."
Qin Lang smiled and said: "Before I set out from Luoyang, His Majesty told me that the general is the most important general of our great Wei Dynasty and is most familiar with the situation in the northwest. The last time we defeated Zhuge Liang and regained Longyou, it was all due to the general's single-handedness.
.In this attack on Guanzhong, we still need to rely on the general. Lang is not familiar with war. This time he comes to learn from the general. I hope the general will not hesitate to teach me."
Zhang He was very satisfied and hurriedly said a few words of humility. Fuyi General Tian Yu came over, saluted Zhang He, then spread out a map and began to explain the current situation. In fact, Zhang He was aware of these situations. At this time, Wei State launched
Attack is actually not the most
It was a good time, but Liangzhou was alone. The journey to transport grain from Hedong to Liangzhou was too long, consumed too much, and the price was too high. In addition, the Shu Han Dynasty had developed rapidly in the past two years. When Wei Ba left Jingzhou, in a short time
Within a short period of time, Wuling was recaptured from Sun Quan, and he marched to deliver it.
The state is developing rapidly. This makes the whole Wei State very worried. In a few years, maybe the Shu Han will be able to annihilate Soochow and occupy all the areas south of the Yangtze River. By that time, the Wei State will be attacked on both sides and will be even more unfavorable. Therefore, Cao Rui decided to
Take advantage of Sun Quan before everything collapses
At that time, they devoted all their efforts to regain Guanzhong as quickly as possible. In fact, they were not fully prepared. In this case, they could only fight quickly, and Cao Rui's greatest hope rested on Zhang He, Qin Lang and Tian Yu.
The branch gathered 40,000 elite infantrymen.
The most skilled generals and the most elite troops undertake the most critical tasks.
Knowing that His Majesty the Emperor had placed the important task of regaining Guanzhong on his shoulders, Zhang He felt a heavy weight on his shoulders. Qin Lang was a trusted minister of His Majesty the Emperor, Tian Yu was also a strong general who had made many meritorious deeds in northern Xinjiang, and the 40,000-horse cavalry was also a member of the Wei Kingdom.
The most elite main force that can be mobilized now, His Majesty the Emperor has given him all the best resources. If he cannot recapture Guanzhong, how can he repay His Majesty the Emperor's trust?
However, during the last confrontation with Zhuge Liang, Zhang He had already realized that Zhuge Liang was very prudent in his military use and was basically impeccable. It would not be easy to find flaws in him.
Zhang He looked at the map, looked at the rolling mountains in the south, and pondered for a long time.
Qin Lang asked tentatively: "How does the general plan to deal with it? Should he attack immediately or wait for a while?"
Zhang He looked at Qin Lang: "How much time did your Majesty give me?"
Qin Lang hesitated for a moment. "Of course your Majesty hopes that the sooner the better, but he did not limit the general's time. He said that the general will be away and the emperor's orders will not be accepted. He will not remotely control the general. Everything is decided by the general himself."
Zhang He's eyes were moist. He faced the east, knelt down on one knee, put his hands over his head, and said word by word: "He must die in order to repay your majesty's trust in case anything happens."
