Shu Chen

Chapter 105

The land of Bashu has been closed since ancient times.

Due to the terrain, the prime minister Zhuge Liang's hair turned white just by planning the transfer of grain, fodder and supplies for the Northern Expedition.

As for Ni Wei, it is impossible to send agents into the land of Bashu to find out the military situation and movements.

Guancheng and Baishuiguan were built to block the road, blocking the road to Shu.

The Yang'ankou in Hanzhong and the Qinling Passage were also heavily guarded by the Han army.Even if a few secret agents sneak into Hanzhong by chance, they will be killed because there are no Li concubines in Hanzhong County, so they cannot hide their identities!

Therefore, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister who yearned to restore the Central Plains, also relied on these advantages and disadvantages. Since the establishment of the government, he has always shown his weakness to Wei Wei.

Even though the Yongliang, Qiang and Hu tribes rebelled repeatedly, they insisted on quieting their flags and drums.

Everyone in the temple of Niwei felt that Bashu had become a dead bone in the tomb, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

The prime minister's plan was to catch him by surprise, to drive into Longyou with the momentum of thunder, and to win a battle!

Because he knew that to win Longyou, the big man had, and only one chance!
Compared with Bashu, against Wei, the national power is too strong.

Against the Wei Dynasty, it seems that there are not many troops defending the northwest. Once Bashu sends troops to attack, only the war potential of Yongliang and Guanzhong can recruit another [-] to [-] soldiers in an instant!Moreover, in the lands of Yongliang and the Three Qin Dynasties, since ancient times, the Han Dynasty has been mixed and the folk customs have been strong, and every adult Lishu can hold a sword and dance a spear.

If the situation is urgent, within half a month, only the soldiers from Luoyang can be driven, and [-] troops can rush to help Guanzhong!

Within three months, [-] troops can enter Guanzhong by conscripting soldiers from Hedong, Hebei, and Yanzhou!
This is the reason why Wei Wei dared to fight against Bashu, and the defense was empty.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be true that none of the Ni Wei, who gathered [-]% of the world's talents, is well versed in military affairs?

No one has an insight into the danger and evil!

As for the big man, the prime minister emptied out the entire potential of the Bashu war, but the troops who went out to conquer were only [-].

After all, Hanzhong County, as the main town of the Northern Expedition, needs at least 30,000 people to defend.

Moreover, this is because of Zheng Pu's remonstrance of "fearing power and not thinking of morality", wantonly migrating to the Nanzhong tribes, and asking the nephews of the Bashu wealthy clan to recruit trilogy, only then did he have a "strong military force".

This is also the reason why the prime minister categorically rejected Wei Yanzi Wugu's conspiracy.

To exhaust the power of the whole country, only [-] troops are needed!
How dare a big man gamble on the hopeless odds of winning the fate of the country?
Wei Yan is the general of the town, thinking about the gains and losses of the first battle; while the prime minister is the ruler of the country, thinking about the survival of the great man, the two have different starting points, and their plans are also different.

Therefore, when Zheng Pu mentioned that the most important thing to march into Longyou was to contain the reinforcements against the Wei Dynasty, the prime minister couldn't help but feel very pleased.

This son is not young enough, but his vision is from a high-level perspective, and he has a clear understanding of the enemy and our forces!

There are countless people who have won!
There is no shortage of loyal and brave generals in the big man.

Only because of being in a corner, the vision of the overall situation is narrowed, and there are few players who use the world as a chessboard.

If this son is as open-minded as a grain, even if I don't live in the middle way, why worry about the great man who will have no successors in the future?

Ugh.
In an instant, the prime minister was overwhelmed with thoughts, and sighed quietly.

However, when he looked at Zheng Pu, there was joy in his brows, "Since Zijin said it, he must have thought about it. Let's talk about it, what's the best idea to curb the reinforcements against the Wei Dynasty?"

"Don't dare to take it as a high opinion."

Zheng Pu hurriedly cupped his hands, and said modestly, "It is common sense for military strategists to consider cutting off their reinforcements first when attacking the enemy. Presumably the Prime Minister already knows it well, Pu'an dares to fight against the enemy?"

"It's just a small talk, don't be restrained."

Sure enough, when the prime minister heard the words, his voice was calm, "Zijin let's talk, it's good to see if there is any benefit in picking up the lost things."

"promise."

Respectfully accepting the order, Zheng Pulang said, "Since the prime minister doesn't think Pu is dull, then Pu dares to speak out."

When the words fall, the mouth is full of water.

"In the land of Longyou, there are Longshan-Liupan Mountains separating Guanzhong, and there are only three roads between Guanlong and Longyou."

"Firstly, it is the ancient road used by the Qin people to enter the Guanzhong, which runs through the Weishui River Valley in Longshan Mountain. However, when the Weishui River exits Longshan Mountain, the flow is fast, and it has been abandoned for a long time, making it difficult to pass through. And if you go against Wei to rush to help, you must use cavalry as the forerunner. Do not take this path."

"Secondly, it is the Xiaoguan Road from Longyou to Anding County. This road is high in the west and low in the east, and the terrain drop is nearly a thousand meters. If you take this road against Wei, it will take a lot of time along the way, so it is not the first choice."

"Again, it is the Longguan Road. This road is the old post where my great man walked from Guanzhong to the Silk Road in the Western Regions. It is flat and well maintained, and it is very easy to pass. Fanxukou, which enters Longshan from the east of Longshan Mountain, is divided into Under the control of You Fufeng, Ni Wei can take this road to cross the mountains and enter Longyou smoothly."

"And to the west of Longshan Mountain, when Zhang Qian dug through the Western Regions in the past, he set up a 'Zhang Mian Station' on this road, whichever it is, extends in all directions, and can follow the Lueyang River and Qin River (now called Houchuan River) to reach various places in Longyou. Counties and counties. Therefore, Pu secretly thought that if you go against Wei and rush to help, you must take the Longguan Road!"

"That's why, if our soldiers leave Longyou, we should first bypass the city and drive to Longguan to guard the fortress road, so that the Rebel Wei reinforcements will not be able to enter Longyou!"

"Although the Zhangmian Station has been abandoned, there are two places on the Long Road in the east that can be blocked. They are Lieliu City and Jieting! Lieliu City is located behind Jieting, so it can be said that whether the road can be used to block the Jieting , is the key to my big man taking Longyou!"

Having said this, Zheng Pu paused for a moment, then smiled.

"The above said, with the wisdom of the prime minister, you must think about it. If you think about it, if you go against Wei to help, you will definitely send good generals, and you will not hesitate to kill or hurt, and attack Jieting! Because within one month, if against Wei, you can't take down Jieting , I will definitely worry that my big man will divide his troops to enter Anding County through Xiaoguan Road, and cut off his back! Therefore, it is prudent to choose the generals who guard the Jietingsai Road, which will affect the gains and losses of Longyou!"

"Great!"

After hearing this, the prime minister couldn't help clapping his hands and praised, "Zijin's thinking is almost the same as my thinking!"

After praising him, he pondered for a while, and then smiled, "Zijin has repeatedly emphasized the caution of guarding the streets and pavilions. Could it be that he deliberately recommended himself to be evil?"

"Back to the Prime Minister, Pu never intends to do that!"

Hearing this, Zheng Pu jumped off his horse, bowed his head and argued, "I am a big man who has accumulated strength for several years before we can get the opportunity for the Northern Expedition, and the gains and losses of Jieting are of great importance, and have a bearing on the success or failure of the war! The end, but not the person who does not know the importance, dare to fight arrogantly."

"I'm not responsible, why should Zijin act like this?"

When the prime minister saw him, he couldn't help laughing, and waved his hands, "Get up, don't be cautious."

"promise."

Smiling embarrassingly, Zheng Pu quickly stepped onto the horse.

But the prime minister had drooped his eyebrows and let the horse's hooves move forward slowly, seemingly thinking.

Zheng Pu, who was peeking at him, felt a little impatient.

He didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him again, and he couldn't figure it out.

I don't know if the words just now can make the prime minister think more about choosing the general of Saidaojieting in the future?
In fact, the prime minister, who acted cautiously and always planned and acted, had deduced the details of the troops leaving Longyou countless times in his mind.

For example, what Zheng Pu said just now, the candidates for the generals who went against Wei and rushed to help.

Contrary to Wei Wei's practice of often using clan generals, the governor who rushes to help must be Cao Zhen, who is familiar with Guanzhong and Yongliang.

And the pioneer general can also be ready to come out.

It is nothing more than the one who was once feared by the late emperor, Wei Zuo General Zhang He!

Zhang He made great military exploits during his rebellion against Wei Cao Cao.

Now he has served Cao Wei III, loyal and loyal, and he is also the only surviving elder hero after Xu Huang died of illness.

And for nearly 20 years, Zhang He followed Xiahou Yuan to the right and left, and then followed Cao Zhen to conquer the non-officials of Yongliang and Liangzhou. He was the only general who rebelled against Wei and drove his troops deep into Badi.

So familiar with the terrain and geography, and with a strategy in mind, there is no reason for Ni Wei to not use it when he is in crisis.

However, the prime minister has not yet reached a conclusion on how to restrain the generals who rebelled against Wei's reinforcements.

It's not that I don't want to plan things ahead, but it's true that there are still too many uncertain factors before the troops are dispatched, so it is not appropriate to make a conclusion too early.

In order not to fall into limitations when accidents happen suddenly.

However, now that Zheng Pu mentioned it, the prime minister began to think about it.

First delineate a few candidates, just before the time when the troops are dispatched, carefully examine them, you should be prepared for any danger.

A moment of silence.

The road of patrolling spring plowing is about to come to an end.

It also made Zheng Pu, who couldn't wait for the prime minister to speak out again, feel a shudder in his heart.

That's it!

If you commit a taboo, just commit it!

Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you may have no time to speak out in the future!

"Prime Minister, Pu is a humble person, so he shouldn't talk too much about state affairs."

Zheng Pu, who had made up his mind, cupped his hands and said in a respectful voice, "Of course, Pu has a worry in his heart, like a gnat in his throat. Please don't blame the prime minister, let me try to say it."

No, as soon as he finished speaking, the prime minister showed such an expression as expected.

Stroking his beard and laughing, he said in a soft voice, "Zijin has a straight and upright nature, and now he has been able to hold back for so long, so he asked for a voice. It can be seen that his mind is a little calmer! Very good, you should encourage yourself! Well, say it. "

Uh.
It turns out that the prime minister has been waiting for me to ask for a speech.

Immediately, Zheng Pu was dumbfounded.

After a pause, he came back to his senses and nodded quickly, "No. Pu dares to say that although there are still many senior generals in my army, there may not be many who can bear the weight of the street pavilion."

"Boy, you are not ashamed to say it! But the army in charge of one department dares to make false remarks about the general of the imperial court!"

The prime minister had a gurgling smile and pretended to blame Fang Fang nodded, "Who does Zijin think he should be?"

"Hehe~~"

Accompanied by a few laughs, Zheng Pu cupped his hands again, and said loudly, "Pu thinks that if the prime minister doesn't take him by himself, the only generals in Hanzhong today are General Zhengnan, General Zhenbei and the governor of Guanzhong."

"Oh? Only three evil people?"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, the Prime Minister was very interested and asked, "Who else is there outside of Hanzhong?"

"Back to the prime minister, it is the former general and general Zhengxi."

Without thinking, Zheng Pu answered with his head bowed.

"Um"

After the prime minister listened, after a slight nasal sound, he lowered his eyebrows and thought.

Because the people mentioned by Zheng Pu are Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Wu Yi, Li Yan and Chen Dao.

It just so happens that it almost coincides with what the prime minister is thinking.

However, there is still one person missing.

After a while, the Prime Minister turned his head, his eyes were burning, and he asked, "How can we judge the person Zijin raised?"

"Returning to the prime minister is the one who has lost more than half of the soldiers and still keeps the army alive."

More than half of the soldiers are lost, but the army is not defeated?
Hearing this, a gleam flashed in the prime minister's eyes.

Immediately, he suddenly smiled.

"good!"

　Sorry, some Carvins, the pace has been a little out of whack in the last few chapters.
