Shu Chen

Chapter 100 Thief Attack
Lite four years, in August.

Sun Wu had a great mourning because of his rebellion against Wei, and when he heard that Bashu had attacked Yinping, he split his troops out of Jingzhou.

First, Sun Quan led [-] soldiers and attacked Wei Jiangxia County, trapped Wei's prefect Wenpin for more than [-] days in Shiyang, and could not be removed.

Wei Zhishu served Shi Xunyu, who was originally sent by Cao Rui against Wei Wei to comfort the frontier, and then arrived in Jiangxia.Seeing Sun Quan attacking, he dispatched soldiers from the county where he was passing, and a thousand people on foot and cavalry who followed him climbed the mountain and raised fire, pretending to be the rescuer.

When Sun Quan saw it, he was afraid and retreated.

Wenpin pursued him, beheading many.

The first was Zhuge Jin, the general of Wu Zuo, who sent troops to attack Wei Xiangyang.

Sima Yi, the general of Wei Fu's army, rushed to the aid, defeated him, and beheaded his general Zhang Ba.Cao Zhen, the general of Wei Zhengdong, broke Jin and went to Xunyang again.

Sun Wu planned a northern expedition that was more than a year old, but he was defeated and returned.

At that time, the people of Danyang, Kuaiji and Wujun gathered together to revolt and attacked the subordinate counties.

Sun Quan's northern expedition killed the soldiers, and divided the three commanderies into Dong'an County, and the Suinan general Quan Cong led the prefect to attack the mountains and the mountains.

Those who are strong and strong are the pawns, and those who are lean are in the fields.

This is also Sun Wu, the beginning of the management of Shanyue.

Afterwards, it was a national policy, which was supplemented by the benefits, and various ministries were frequently sent to attack it.

As far as Ni Wei is concerned, it is the beginning of the wealthy gentry who formally encroached on the powers of commander and commander.

When Wei Wu Cao Cao started his business, he used the emperor to make vassals, and in the name of Emperor Xian, he frequently issued orders to seek talents, and collected Luo Hanmen;During the period of his power, the father of the Qiaopei clan was in charge of the military, and he held the festival to supervise the battle.With Yingchuan scholars planning and planning, to appease the local.

In the time of Cao Pi, the elders of the Qiao Pei clan had fallen into decline.

However, there are also Cao Xiu who controlled the eastern line and oversaw the three states of Qing, Xu and Yang; Cao Zhen oversaw Guanzhong and controlled Yongliang; Xiahou Shang oversaw the two states of Jingyu.As for the military affairs of You and the two prefectures, it was only on the border of the Xianbei pirates. It was only necessary to protect the Wuhuan Colonel and the prefect of the prefecture and county governor, and then they could be enemies outside, and there was no need to set up a commander-in-chief.

After repeatedly attacking Wu, the various commanders still have no aristocratic family.

Although Sima Yi was left behind every time Cao Pi went on a personal expedition, he was guarded outside the capital, but he led only [-] troops and had no right to supervise the battle.

Now that Cao Rui is in power, Sima Yi has the right to lead the army out.

Moreover, he defeated Zhuge Jin this time, returned to the court to record his powers, and obtained the right to supervise the military affairs and military affairs of Jingyu and Yuzhou.

Or to put it another way, against the foundation of Wei, we have officially ushered in the moment when a wealthy family is the cornerstone.

Putting down the military newspaper cloth, Zheng Pu's expression did not change, but he was quite emotional.

Well, at this time, he was in Ma Su's official office in Nanzheng.

I met with Ma Su that day, but they did not discuss in detail because of the urgent need to place prisoners and rest their soldiers.

After waiting for each other to be busy, Ma Su sent someone to the barracks and asked Zheng Pu to meet him.

As soon as he arrived, Ma Su did not gossip, and directly passed the military information to Zheng Pu to read.

Immediately, he smiled happily, and said aloud, "Zijin, this is the Prime Minister's transfer of my military situation. I have not yet replied to the Prime Minister. It just happens that Zijin is at the meeting, so it's not like this."

"Heh~~~"

Zheng Pu also smiled and nodded lightly, "I have been instructed to join the army, how dare I not follow evil?"

After speaking, looking at the meals on their respective tables and Ma Su's face, he couldn't help but add, "I have been busy with the army these days, and I haven't paid attention to the current situation in the world for a long time. Why don't you give me more time to join the army and have your own meal first?"

Compared to meeting in Chengdu last year, Ma Su has lost a lot of weight.

Perhaps it was because of the numerous and trivial affairs that he had been assigned after he came to Hanzhong.

Or, there is also a disagreement with the prefect Wei Yan, and he is often angry and tasteless when sleeping and eating.

"Ha, Zijin is really a wonderful person!"

Hearing this, Ma Su rubbed his palms and laughed, "It doesn't matter. I just happen to be hungry, so I'll have my own meal first, and Zijin will do it myself."

"it is good."

After a while, Ma Su put down the food chopsticks.

Seeing this, Zheng Pu also pretended to be thinking about something, and said, "Joining the army, what I think, although Sun Wu's defeat this time, is a pity. However, for me, a big man, it is not nothing."

"Well, I would like to hear more about Zijin."

As he got up, he took water and rinsed his mouth and hands. Ma Su smiled and urged.

"It was against the strength of Wei Luoyang and Guanzhong, and they all entered Jingzhou Er."

Zheng Pu restrained his face, nodded and said.

"The first is that the army against Wei Wei's defense against our great Han will be sharply reduced. Sun Wu's previous northern expeditions were all feinted attacks from Jingzhou, and the army went out to Yangzhou. Now, on the contrary, against Wei will inevitably deploy heavy troops to defend Jingzhou. Wei Cao Zhenzheng sent troops from Guanzhong, and Sima Yi led Luoyang's troops to repel General Sun Wuzuo. And Luoyang was against Wei Jingji, and he had to be guarded by a large army. Therefore, the troops of Jingzhou left by Wei against Wei must be dispatched from Guanzhong. ."

"The second is that Sun Wu used his troops in this battle, nearly [-]. It can be seen that although his strength was repeatedly defeated by Cao Pi, he did not suffer much damage. When he saw the rebellion, he must be jealous, and then the army added, and Continue to ignore my big man."

"The third is that Sun Wu returned from this defeat. Sun Quan must know that Jiangdong alone cannot shake Wei against Wei. Therefore, he will also sincerely be with me as a great Han, in order to join forces to defeat Wei."

Having said this, Zheng Pu grinned.

"What I'm thinking about is just these three points. If you have other thoughts about joining the army, please don't hesitate to let me know."

"Heh~~~"

Ma Su waved his hand, smiled and said, "Zijin's words have already described the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and me, do I have any other thoughts?"

After he finished speaking, he sighed with disappointment, "I don't hide it from Zijin, I thought that Sun Wu had been thinking about it for so long, and he would be able to capture the land of Xiangyang and Jiangxia, and covet Nanyang County. It can force Meng Da, who is at both ends of the mouse, to think about the pros and cons and return to me as a big man. But now, it is the victory against Wei Wei, sigh."

Forcing Mengda?

Could it be that Meng Da, who sits in the three eastern counties, felt that his authority was not guaranteed during the alternation of power against Wei Wei?

Moreover, he has already sent a book to the court, saying that he intends to surrender?
When Ma Sufu finished his words, Zheng Pu was slightly surprised and thought about it.

It is true that if Sun Wu captures Xiangyang and Jiangxia, and the troops go straight to Yang County, the three eastern counties where Meng Da is located will face the situation of being attacked by Sun Wu and Dahan.And in the temples of Wei Wei, there will also be admonitions to Cao Rui, and loyal ministers will be dispatched to guard the three east counties.

After all, Meng Da is the second minister.

Be prepared.

However, don't overestimate Sun Quan's use of troops.

With a sneer in his heart, Zheng Pu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Dare to ask about the meaning of joining the army, that Meng Da, the prefect of Weiwei Xincheng, has already said that he will return to my great Han?"

"Of course."

Nodding his head, Ma Su said, "Zijin led the army on expeditions abroad, and I don't know anything about it. Meng Da wrote a letter to the prime minister a few months ago, claiming that he intends to return to Han."

Having said this, he did not wait for Zheng Pu to reply, and his face was full of anger, "However, this thief is quite cunning! He has exchanged letters several times, but he does not mention when he will surrender, but he is outnumbered and outnumbered. Urge the Prime Minister to send troops to Shangyong and help him to stick to it! This is righteousness? It's nothing more than wanting to swallow my big Han soldiers to strengthen himself, and separate the ears from the left and the right!"

oh~~~
Zheng Pu was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Even with some admiration, Meng Da's profit made his mind dizzy, and he felt that he was whimsical.

Not to mention, whether out of helplessness or not, he has already betrayed the big man once, and when he returns to righteousness again, the court must have a grudge.

Although he won't blame the old things for killing, but An Neng has no power?

Furthermore, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, what kind of person is he!
He has been famous for his intelligence for nearly 20 years, how can he fail to see through his little thoughts?
He actually thought that the Prime Minister sent troops to let him annex?

Alas, this person is probably already old and faint!

After thinking for a while, Zheng Pu suppressed what was in his heart and said softly, "Meng Da is not enough to be trusted. Well, if you join the army, will the war-horse trade route in Guanzhong still be smooth?"

"It's okay."

Ma Su suppressed the anger in his chest and showed a smile, "The prime minister knew that it was not credible, so he was arrogant, so the trade route was fairly smooth. However, there are only five or six horses a month, and the price is extremely high. It doesn't matter whether it is smooth or not."

"That's fine."

Zheng Pu laughed, then took up the bamboo chopsticks and ate with a big mouthful of food.

It also made Ma Su, who was in the opposite seat, slightly surprised.

After Zheng Pu finished his meal, he couldn't help but jokingly said, "Zijin has been in the army for less than a year, and now he has already ignored the demeanor of a scholar."

Scholars style?

Can you be loved and loved by your soldiers?
He sneered in secret, and when Zheng Pu took water to rinse his mouth and clean his hands, his heart suddenly froze again.

He suddenly remembered that Ma Su came from a wealthy family.

Born and raised under the rule of Liu Biao, who was a good talker.

A person with such a temperament is destined not to be loved by his soldiers.

If you are in charge of the army to conquer, in times of crisis, your soldiers will not die for it without turning their heels!
He also thought about how much he had recommended about himself before, so he had a heart to give him a few words.

Therefore, Zheng Pu, who was seated again, put his face down, "Joining the army, if I always think about the demeanor of scholars, I'm afraid I won't have the victory of Yinping Jinggu Dao!"

Ok?
Ma Su, who was stroking Hu, was stunned when he heard the words.

After paying attention to Zheng Pu's young age, Fang urged his voice to ask, "Why does Zijin's words explain the evil?"

"The victory of Jinggu Dao, everyone claims to be the result of my plan."

Zheng Pu's face was full of lingering fears, and his tone was light, "I don't know, if all my soldiers are willing to die, I would dare to lure the enemy by falling into the dead? Don't forget to join the army, the Xuanwu army is completed in less than a year. Expect."

When Ma Su heard the words, he was silent.

In his heart, he is very shy, and he does not need others to say too much to understand.

In the battle of Jinggu Dao, if Zheng Pu's small circle formation to lure the enemy could not hold on, after Huo Yi led his troops to attack, the outcome would be reversed.

After a long time, Ma Su gave a very rare salute, and asked modestly, "How do you get the heart of a soldier? Please also ask Zijin to understand me."

"Joining the army broke me."

He hurriedly returned the salute, but Zheng Pu did not take it lightly, "Previously, when I was under the command of the sect, Dudu Ma had warned me, claiming that there are many scumbags in the army, especially those who don't like salutes. He told me that if I want to lead the army, I need to get used to the army. contempt."

When the words fell, Ma Su did not wait for Ma Su to make a sound, and then went straight to tell all of them.

If you follow the example of Huangfu Song, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, you are sympathetic to the soldiers.

As usual, you will have fun with your soldiers, and you will have the same board and lodging as your soldiers. The rewards will be divided between the soldiers and those killed and wounded.

and many more.

After the narration, Zheng Pu looked solemn and added another sentence.

"I joined the army, although I am less than one year old as the Overseer. However, I have been able to call out each of the three soldiers under my command before!"

Ma Su fell silent again.

This time, he was sent by the Prime Minister to Hanzhong to serve as an official, and he was also awarded a school soldier.

However, apart from Li Sheng, the leader of the army, and the military officers, none of his soldiers were known by name.

After all, with his background and talent in mind, An Neng has a topic with a "soldier"?

"Ah~~~"

A long sigh.

Ma Su raised his head and closed his eyes, and said in disappointment, "I only see Zijin's achievements, but I don't know Zijin's hard work!"

Zheng Pu didn't say anything, just smiled faintly, and secretly concealed the worries in his heart.

The difference between Cheng and Ma Su's utensils is well known by the people of Bashu.

In the future, the northern expedition will inevitably lead to the expedition, and no one can dare to persuade.

Therefore, Zheng Pu only wished that Ma Su could listen to what he said today, and that his soldiers could serve him.When you lead the army to fight in the future, you will have a better chance of winning.

At the end of August, following the Prime Minister's order, Zheng Pu let his soldiers rest for half a month before embarking on the journey back to Chengdu.

When they came, they transported heavy grains, and when they returned, they were empty-handed.And the soldiers were all thinking about it, and they went back early to receive the reward of victory from the court.

Returning to the heart is like an arrow, and the journey is quite fast.

Therefore, in the first ten days of September, he had already arrived at Jianmen Pass.

And Zheng Pu also knew that if he went to Hanzhong County in the future, he should be stationed for a long time.

As a matter of time, since the beginning of the spring, the Prime Minister has let all the ministries transport grain, food, and transport back and forth to Hanzhong, which has accumulated a lot of grain, and there is no need to go back and forth again.And when the army is stationed, it is necessary to catch up with the spring ploughing next year, and settle the fields in Hanzhong to reduce the difficulty of transshipment in Bashu.

On the other hand, Nanzhong, who had revolted, has been completely pacified.

In August, the general of Zhennan, Fu Kuang, led his army back to Chengdu, while Xi Zhong and Wang Ping, who were busy with the surrendered rebels, moved to Hanzhong to settle down and enlist in the army.

Everything was smooth, and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang set his sights on Hanzhong County.

Perform martial arts in the fields and plan the Northern Expedition against Wei!

Well, when I return this time, I will let the Xuanwu Army soldiers take turns to rest and reunite with their families for some time.

I might as well take some time off and go back to Shifang Sangyuan to accompany my mother and Xiao Yaner.

Zheng Pu, who slowly stepped into Jianmenguan, was also planning in his heart.

But he didn't want to, when the guard of Jianmen Pass came to Xiaguan to greet him, he also handed over a letter.

Well, he is out on the expedition and has never had a fixed place to garrison.

Shifang Sangyuan's family couldn't contact him, so he asked his elder brother Zheng Yan to ask the courier of the post office to let the military messenger send the letter along the four passes in northern Shu.

Zheng Pu was also shocked when he saw it.

If it weren't for the unimportant matter, it would be impossible for him to go to such great lengths to find him due to his elder brother Zheng Yan's serious temperament.

When I opened it quickly, it was really bad news.

Qin Mi died of illness a month ago and was buried on the Mianyuan River in Mianzhu County, Xianglu.

And his elder brother Zheng Yan, after hearing the news, resigned as the magistrate of Pi County.After settling his wife, concubines and children in Shifang Mulberry Garden, he went to Mianzhu alone, and mourned Qin Mi for three years with the courtesy of his disciples.

Slowly closing the letter, Zheng Pu's eyes were filled with grief.

The Qin and Zheng families were close friends, and Qin Mi took care of him a lot, treating him like a relative.

After a little thought, he found Liu Min and Huo Yi, and asked them to return to Chengdu.

It's just that he traveled day and night, and when he rushed to the outskirts of Mianzhu, something unexpected happened.

More than a dozen thieves, seeing him sleeping in the wilderness at night, surrounded him with knives and bows!
