Zhuge Liang asked Xiang Langlai to lead his troops to fight?
Of course not. Zhuge Liang demanded the support of Xiang Lang. With experienced and powerful veterans like Xiang Lang, the younger generations of the Jingxiang Group dared not do anything randomly. If the Jingxiang Group is stabilized, the others will not be troubled.
More importantly, Xiang Lang supports him, so Ma Su will not negotiate terms with him at this time. He will make full support for Xiang Lang's sake, starting from the overall situation. With Ma Su's support, he led 30,000 troops.
In the west, Ma Su and Wei Yan were in the east, killing Cao Zhi was no problem.
Does Xiang Lang want to go to war? Yes. When this is dangerous, it is unquestionable to cooperate with Zhuge Liang. The loss of Guanzhong will not benefit anyone. What we need to discuss is not whether to cooperate, but the way of cooperation. He wants to lead the army
The battle was also because of the great chance of winning against Ma Su and Wei Yan's attack on Cao Zhi was very good. If he could take this opportunity to turn the tide and even capture Cao Zhi alive, this great achievement would of course fall on him and Ma Su. After this battle, Zhuge Liang was reluctant,
We must not help but reward them, and their strength will be stronger.
Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang was also very clear about this principle, so he asked for Xiang Lang's support, but he would not give up this opportunity to make contributions to Xiang Lang. In the case of Ma Dai's entire army being wiped out, he needed a greater victory to prove himself.
.The current situation seems critical, but as long as you calm down, you can find that there are greater opportunities.
Cao Zhi and Xiahou Ba's victory all came from unexpected results. They violated military knowledge, took a desperate bet, entered Guanzhong unexpectedly, and walked all the way, which led to unexpected success. Now the accident is no longer unexpected, Cao Zhi is facing the front and back attack of the Shu Han army.
Where can he have any chance? Even survival is a problem, let alone creating miracles.
He was a big fish that jumped ashore on his own initiative. Although it caused some waves and scared the fisherman, he inevitably put himself in a place of death. The lonely army without logistics supplies faced twice as many enemies as he did.
He was surrounded and blocked, and there was no way out for him. As long as he blocked his way, he didn't have to fight. Wait for a month and waited for his food to finish, he would be defeated without fighting.
Everything comes at a price. He is destined to be a great deal on someone's credit book. How could Zhuge Liang give this opportunity to Xiang Lang? If it weren't for the critical situation, Zhuge Liang wouldn't even let Ma Su have a share of the pie.
.But Ma Su was defeated first. Even if he made contributions in this battle and redeem his sins, his official title would not be greatly improved.
As for Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang had absolute confidence. Wei Yan's thoughts could be clearly understood from the degree of care that Wei Yan had given him. As long as it did not touch the interests of the Wei family, Wei Yan would not favor Ma Su and go against him.
Wei Yan is not Wei Ba, and his mind is much simpler.
With Xiang Lang's support, Zhuge Liang successfully stabilized his position and turned a disaster into the motivation to continue fighting. Private complaints are inevitable. As long as no one dares to jump out, those complaints will not cause great consequences for Zhuge Liang.
The impact of
Which powerful minister has no enemies? A good man cannot be a powerful minister and cannot do anything.
...
Cao Zhi, who was walking fast, passed the Meiwu, stopped at Wuzhangyuan, set up a camp, and stopped leaving.
Wuzhangyuan is located south of the Wei River. It is about fifty zhang high, broad in the north and narrow in the south, with a widest place of about five miles and a long distance of ten miles from north to south. On the east side is Wugong Water, which is the slanting water. On the north side is Wei River, and on the west side is a deep-distance water.
The ten-foot ditch is located on the south side of the Qinling Mountains. The famous Xigu enters the mountain from here, which is an easy to defend and difficult to attack. Tian Fu and others blocked Zhao Yun from Xigu here.
.
Cao Zhixuan set up camp here, and his intention was very obvious, so he wanted to stick to it.
Ma Su and Wei Yan, who followed each other and smiled bitterly, felt it was very difficult. Along the way, they had seen Cao Zhi's aging. If Ma Su was defeated by Cao Zhi in Hongmen, there were both unexpected elements and insufficient strength.
The objective factors of Cao Zhi now chooses to camp in Wuzhangyuan, and the subtleties are beyond ordinary people.
But Ma Su and Wei Yan belong to the kind of people who can understand.
Zhuge Liang is in Fengxian County, more than 300 miles away, about 500 miles away from Gaoping area to the north, and 300 miles away from Longshan and Linwei to the west. He is in Fengxian County, of course, for the purpose of
At the same time, he takes into account three aspects. No matter which direction is in danger, he can receive the message within one day and arrive for support within three days.
But he could not attack Cao Zhi in Fengxian County. If he arrived at Wuzhang, he would not be able to take care of the other three places. If he didn't come, Cao Zhi could stay here safely, with Ma Su and Wei Yan's Wu
Thousands of people had no choice but to do it. Even if Zhuge Liang came, he had no choice but to do it. With the terrain of Wuzhangyuan, more than 30,000 people could not conquer it, which would inevitably be a war of attrition.
Cao Zhi can rest here, but the time limit is only how much food he has, otherwise he will stay as long as he wants.
Cao Zhi defended Wuzhangyuan, not a passive defense. Xiahouba's three thousand cavalry were his fists, and he attacked back and forth between Weixian and martial arts with the advantage of the cavalry's speed. Who can catch him?
Of course, Ma Su believed that Cao Zhi would not keep guarding here, because his food was limited and he could not plunder before the autumn harvest season. Soon, he would have to go out again, whether to attack Chen Cang westward or
Going north to attack Fengxian County and picking up Zhang He into the pass may become Cao Zhi's choice, but it is impossible to stick to Wuzhangyuan for a long time. He rested in Wuzhangyuan, but he just kept the rhythm firmly in his hands. When he was resting, he was just taking a firm eye to control his rhythm.
However, the Shu Han army did not dare to be careless. When he had a rest and acted again, the physical strength and morale of both sides would be even more detrimental to the Shu Han army.
These are all subtle changes, but it can be seen that Cao Zhi, who was leading the army for the first time, was not a scholar who talked about the war on paper. In fact, he had a very accurate grasp of the situation between the two sides.
This is the benefit of having a master father. Who made him Cao Cao the most outstanding military strategist of this era? He followed such people every day and studied, and had a smart brain, it would be hard not to be powerful.
He is also smart and has a good idea of military strategy, but when he led the army for the first time, he was defeated and his nose was blue and swollen. He was far less mature than Cao Zhi, because he lacked the opportunity like Cao Zhi and had no chance to practice. He had only fought
After a few battles, those military tactics that were memorable can be truly transformed into the experience of leading troops, not just staying on paper.
Cao Zhi rested on Wuzhangyuan. Ma Su attacked but could not attack, and retreated but could not retreat. He had to stay away from Cao Zhi and camped in Beiyuan north of the Wei River. Beiyuan was twenty miles away from Wuzhangyuan. Camped here, and you could monitor Cao Zhi nearby, but you would not
There was a danger of being attacked by Cao Zhi. The Meiwu was fifty miles east of Beiyuan. The person guarding the Meiwu was Zhu Yi, the then-guard general of Wei Ba. When he learned that Wei Yan led his troops to pursue Cao Zhi, he immediately arranged to transport grain and rushed to Beiyuan.
As early as the Battle of Guanzhong, Zhu Yi was ordered by Wei Ba to guard the Meiwu. Tang Qianyu, who was with him at that time, was originally more smooth than him. When Zhao Yun was training cavalry for Wei Ba, Tang Qianyu was the captain, Wei.
The cavalry general who was appointed to the Nei.
In the Battle of Shangqi, Tang Qianyu captured Guo Huai alive and made contributions. Later, he successfully became a cavalry general under Wei Ba. Wei Ba then went to Xiangyang, and Tang Qianyu returned to Wei Yan's command, and was also a cavalry general, so he followed.
Wei Ba's official position was promoted the fastest in Wei Ba's army.
Unfortunately, this time Zhuge Liang took over the cavalry, and more than a thousand cavalry under Wei Yan were taken away. Tang Qianyu was unhappy and would rather stay with Wei Yan and command dozens of personal guards than to go to Zhuge Liang's command and stay in Meiwu.
Zhu Yi became the one with the greatest real power among the Wei family corps in Guanzhong. Although he was just a commander, his position in the Meiwu was important, and his status was very different from that of ordinary commander.
With the food sent by Zhu Yi, Ma Su and Wei Yan were much more relaxed.
“How much food is left in the meiwu?”
"It will be no problem for 30,000 troops to eat for half a year." Zhu Yi's face was not very good, and his resentment was obvious: "This is what I have saved hard in the past few years. In order to save these grains, the people who have made great contributions.
The Lord agreed with them that they would farm farms and provide food, and we would protect their safety. Now General Ma took four thousand cavalry, but watched the three thousand Wei cavalry burn, kill and loot, and did nothing. The people were disappointed with us
Now, I’m afraid I won’t receive a few grains today.”
Ma Su glanced at him without saying a word, but did not stop him. He knew that Zhu Yi was passing a message for others. When Wei Ba was able to defend Meiwu, or even Guanzhong, he was helped by the Taoist gang of Tianshi. Wei Ba agreed
Zhao Su's condition was that at least two prefects from the three counties of Guanzhong returned to Hanzhong. In fact, these conditions were discounted by Zhuge Liang. So far, only Zhao Su served as the prefect of Jingzhao and was still firmly employed by Wei Yan.
It is unrealistic to say that the Hanzhong people have no complaints. It is difficult for them to say in Zhuge Liang's face, and it is a good choice to use Zhu Yi's mouth to pass it to his ears.
Who made him the confidant of Prime Minister Zhuge? Prime Minister Zhuge sent him to Guanzhong, just to divide Wei Yan's power and suppress the Hanzhong people. I won't tell him who he said. Now Ma Su is eating the rice he provided,
In front of Wei Yan, how can he not give him face?
Wei Yan didn't hear it, and ate his meal. Wei Yan was not happy about the matter of revoking cavalry. Those cavalry were trained by Zhao Yun, so what if it was for Ma Dai to give it to Ma Dai for nothing? If it weren't for Ma Su's appearance, it would be
Prime Minister Zhuge's idea was that he would not give Ma Dai a horse hair.
At this moment, Tang Qianyu rushed in and was furious: "General, Chief Secretary, something big happened."
Wei Yan, who had not said anything, put down the bowl in his hand heavily and snorted: "What's the matter, so panicked?"
Tang Qianyu turned sideways and let Qian Fei in behind him. Qian Fei looked dark and bloody, and his body was also ragged. As soon as he saw Wei Yan, he knelt down and said with lingering fear: "General, we all."
The army was wiped out."
"Who are you?" Wei Yan was puzzled.
"I am Qian Fei, the commander under General Zhao, and I was transferred to Ma Dai's subordinates with the cavalry. Two days ago, we were defeated by Xiahou Ba in Duyang area and were wiped out. I was seriously injured, fainted, and was beaten by
The war horse was carried into the mountains and escaped. After waking up, he happened to meet the general's scout, so he rushed over."
Ma Su and Wei Yan looked at each other and suddenly felt a cold wind blowing behind their heads, and the coolness was rising.
