Chapter 269 No
Fufeng on the right, outside Chencang city.

The endless golden wheat waves spread out on the north bank of the Weishui River where the Wei army garrisoned fields, and people's smiles bloomed.

The bobbin car imitated Bashu and put into use on a large scale after testing, with its long arm span driven by hydraulic power, it continuously pumps river water into the ditches of Tuntian, which foresees time-saving and labor-saving irrigation in the coming year.

This made Sima Yi, who was slowly patrolling Nongsang with his horse, no longer maintain an expression of calmness.

Listening to Ma Jun and Deng Ai who were accompanying them intermittently due to stuttering, they repeatedly stroked their heads and nodded while laughing.

Not only is the self-sufficient self-sufficiency of the army and the country to be enriched, but also because the main force in Guanzhong has sufficient food and fodder, and the aristocratic families in the Guandong will no longer have paradoxes about the Yongliang War.

As a member of the wealthy Kanto family, he is well aware of the root cause of the "abandoning Liangzhou" remarks.

It's nothing more than dissatisfaction with the imperial court's frequent increase of taxes in Kanto in order to support the Yongliang war, which damaged the interests of those wealthy families.

If Yongliang could be self-sufficient, those people's views on the war would gradually change from "a waste of money for the people and no benefit to the country" to "this is the time for our generation to make contributions".

Most of the time, what people want is driven by interests.

It has been like this from time immemorial.

However, if the Yongliang soldiers are basically self-sufficient in food and fodder, it will take at least three to five years to recuperate.

The emperor Cao Rui in Luoyang, even if he knew that recapturing Longyou would be as difficult as reaching the sky, he would never tolerate him who supervised the battle of Yongliang for three to five years.

Because whether Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Nishu, went out of Longyou or marched into Liangzhou, it was a preparation for entering Guanzhong.

After all, if all the old officials gathered by Liu Bei from all over the world died, there would be fewer political opinions such as Ni Shu, which devoted all the power of the country to conquest.Just like Cao Wei, who was passed down to the third generation, after many generals, they no longer have the hard work and competition of their fathers to seek titles on the battlefield.

Times have changed, and people are different.

Sima Yi, who smiled like a gentle spring breeze and nodded in affirmation frequently during Ma Jun and Deng Ai's narration, has long since left Nongsang in his mind.

But at this moment, a rush of horseshoes faintly entered his ears, interrupting his thoughts.

Following the sound and casting his eyes, he saw a messenger with a command flag on his back not far away, galloping on horseback.

"Report to the governor!"

"General Gaoping Chengguo has military concerns!"

Thirty steps away, the messenger who was prevented from approaching by the guards suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, causing the horse to neigh and stand up, shouting loudly.

What is so urgent?

Could it be that the war in Hexi has changed?

Hearing the sound, Sima Yi suppressed his smile, and waved his hand to ask the subordinate to fetch the general's love letter.

Even Deng Ai and Ma Jun, who were accompanying them on the left and right, wisely drove their horses a little farther away, so as not to violate the taboo of privately spying on military aircraft.

However, they seem to have wasted their efforts.

When Sima Yi unfolded the cloth to read it, he just frowned for a moment and thought about it for a moment, then another person fetched the pen and ink, wrote a few lines with the pen and sent the messenger back.

And continue to inspect Nongsang.

From his smiling face, it can be inferred that the military situation may not be urgent.

This made Deng Ai, who had been aspiring to military service since he was a child and had the opportunity to join the army only after he was over [-] years old, feel a little disappointed.

Just now he was thinking that if the current situation changed and Guanzhong had to send troops, he would take advantage of the situation and ask for orders to go to the Gaoping City area to farm the fields.

Unexpectedly, it was just a normal military message.

In fact, what Deng Ai didn't know was that Sima Yi, who returned home at dusk, sat alone with a lamp and thought for a long time.

Guo Huai sent messengers this time, but he wanted to send troops to support Hexi in advance.

But Sima Yi refused.

It's not that Guo Huai's general is not enough, or that sending troops is inappropriate.

On the contrary, he secretly sighed "This is a good general", and finally knew why the late Cao Zhen was very strange and favored Guo Huai before.

In Guo Huai's letter, he first clearly stated the reason why he judged that Liangzhou might not defend.

For example, taking the two dangerous passes of Xiaoguan and Shuyin City that were lost in unimaginable ways, claiming that Nishu often makes unexpected moves, and Wei Ping and Jia Xu's generals alone are slightly difficult to match.

It also analyzes the current situation of Liangzhou.

Self-seekers abound in Hexi, needless to say.

The [-] allied army gathered by Jia Xu was nothing more than a mob.

If the war goes well, they will definitely follow to the death, stimulated by the spoils and court awards;

For example, during the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Han Sui and Ma Teng held the kingdom as the main force, and brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses into the Sanfu of Guanzhong.After being defeated by Huangfusong and Dong Zhuo, Yan Zhong, a famous scholar who returned from various ministries, began to fight for power and even killed each other.

How can a group of people with their own ghosts resist the power and evil of the Han army!

Wei Ping, who has [-] soldiers and is huddled in Jincheng County, also has great internal hidden dangers.

The soldiers recruited in Jincheng County will not be able to withstand the surrender of the Han army because they care about their families; the soldiers who are not local will feel that Wei Guo treats them as abandoned sons, and under the resentment in their hearts, they will lose the hope of living and dying with the city. resolute.

Subsequently, Guo Huai also correspondingly proposed two plans to deal with the war in Liangzhou.

First, he planned to lead more than [-] people from his headquarters to the north along the Wushui River Valley, and then turn west to the break of the Quwu Mountains - Shuiquanshahe stationed, threatening the rear of the fortress of Yuyin, so that Wei Yan had to divide his troops and return to Gu Rear, reduce the pressure on Liangzhou defenders.

The other is to ask Sima Yi to dispatch [-] fine riders from Guanzhong to go with him, one man and two horses, to go northward via the Wushui River Valley, from Mingsha Mountain to the Quwu Mountain Range and enter Naowei County.

If this move takes place, no matter if he joins forces with Daihu Alangni, the young commander of the Tuoba tribe in Xianbei to destroy the rebel general Jiang Wei, and then attack Wei Yan's grain road; The morale of the Hexi Allied Forces and Jincheng soldiers.

Because as long as he leads the army, it will be Wei Guo's statement to Liangzhou scholars.

It is enough to prove that Wei Guo did not give up on them.

Let everyone believe that the Wei army will come to rescue Liangzhou in the near future, and they only need to stick to it for a few months to usher in victory and receive generous rewards for their military exploits.

As for the most difficult problem of sending troops, the supply of food and fodder, Guo Huai also gave feasible suggestions.

In order to increase the trade share of the military city of Gaoping City, in exchange for the supply of the Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian King Liu Bao and Xianbei Tuoba Liwei II.

There is no need to worry about their unwillingness to undertake.

With the current situation where the two heroes in Hetao are fighting each other, the equipment provided by Wei Guokai's military market is the external force to determine the winner.Both of them will be worried that if they do not want to exchange supplies and the other party does, their tribe will usher in the end.

It also means that Guo Huai has thought through all the plans for sending troops.

It's just that Sima Yi agrees.

However, Sima Yi still rejected the suggestion to send troops.

Because he felt that Guo Huai had been away from Luoyang Temple for too long.
