Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 580 Strategy
July, Chengdu.

It is night, the cool wind is blowing gradually, the cold moon is like a hook, the clear light is shining on the ground, and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

Xia Houhui was dressed in summer clothes, and walked in the corridor with Qianqian steps, followed by the maid behind her carrying a supper.

Arriving at the gate of the hall, I saw Huang Hao guarding outside the hall, waiting respectfully for the order of the emperor inside the hall.Seeing Xiahou Hui, Huang Hao did not dare to neglect, bowed his waist and said: "The minister Huang Hao pays homage to his wife."

With a smile on his face, Xia Houhui asked the palace servants to deliver a night meal to Huang Hao, and said: "It is hard work to serve His Majesty, so you can take this night meal. I will serve Your Majesty tonight, so you can step back and rest." .”

Huang Hao took the box containing the supper, and said with a panicked expression: "How dare a lowly minister accept such a big gift from my wife."

Xia Houhui looked soft and said, "You don't have to do this, just accept it."

Huang Hao pretended to be hesitant, then showed gratitude, and replied: "I thank you, madam."

Xia Houhui nodded with a smile, and when he was about to enter the palace, he heard Huang Hao whispering: "Madam, in recent days, Madam Wang has been favored by Your Majesty."

"it is good!"

Hearing this, the smile on Xia Houhui's face turned cold for a moment, then returned to a soft smile in an instant, and led Gong'e into the palace.

After Xia Houhui entered the palace, the respectful Huang Hao's face returned to normal, and he handed the food box in his hand to the little Huangmen beside him, and said lightly: "Scatter the night food among everyone."

"promise!"

The attendant took the food box and asked puzzledly, "Why does the Huangmen show favor to every lady?"

Huang Hao glanced at the attendant, chuckled, and said meaningfully: "The empress died, and the harem has no owner. Your Majesty ignores the harem affairs, and all the wives want to compete for the queen, but the current situation is not clear, so how can you place a bet easily. Besides, we are only subject to His Majesty's orders, so why should Madam's orders matter to me?"

The attendant nodded thoughtfully, and said: "What Huangmen said is very true, I'm being superficial."

Huang Hao glanced at the bright moon on the treetops, and ordered: "Tell your subordinates to shut up, and the news in the palace must not be leaked without my order. If someone violates it, the staff will be fifty."

"promise!"

Xia Houhui, who entered the palace, saw Liu Chan wearing single clothes, browsing the memorials intently, saluted and said: "The concubine pays homage to Your Majesty..."

Liu Chan looked up and saw that it was Xiahou Hui, his stern face slowed down, he put down the memorial, and said, "Excuse me, madam."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Xiahou Hui got up, he took the wooden spoon from Gong'e beside him and filled Liu Chan with soup.

"His Majesty!"

Xia Houhui stepped forward, held a lacquer bowl and shouted: "Your Majesty, the duck soup is warm, and now it tastes very delicious and suitable for nourishing one's health."

Liu Chan pointed to the table and said, "Don't worry, put it on the table. I'll drink it when I'm done!"

"promise!"

Xia Houhui squatted down and put the duck soup on the table, revealing a seductive and plump curve while stretching.

Although Liu Chan's heart was hot, his attention was still on the memorabilia of Guandong.This memorial was submitted by Zhuge Liang. According to the content confirmed at the Wudanshan Military Conference half a month ago, Zhuge Liang expounded the plan adopted for the attack on Nanyang.

Liu Chan looked very carefully, comparing the map from time to time, and using a pen to outline the marching route on it.

For the Han Dynasty's plan to conquer Nanyang, the most important thing is to confirm the marching route, and then set up supply points according to the marching route to ensure the food and grass needed by the army.

This time Zhuge Liang's marching route, he wanted to divide his troops into two groups.All the way is to go south from Lantian in Guanzhong, take the Wuguan Road, attack Wuguan, and attract the troops of the Wei people.The other route is to go east along the Hanshui River in Ankang County, attack Wudang in Nanxiang County, and then cross the Hanshui River in the north, bypassing the Xiangfan defense line, and go straight to Wancheng.

At the same time, after breaking through Wudang, the army going east from the Hanshui River split up and attacked Wuguan from behind, cut off the retreat route of Wuguan, and joined the army from Guanzhong.The Hanshui army went straight to Wancheng, cutting off the communication channel between Nanyang and Xu Luo.At that time, the Guanzhong army and the Hanshui army will merge into one to resist the Wei army who came south from Luoyang for rescue.

Liu Chan looked at this place, outlined Ye County on the map, and marked it as important.

When Cao Cao conquered Yuan Shao, Lao Liu set out from Xinye and went north to Ye County. Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun to the south, but was defeated by Lao Liu, and then Li Dian chased and rescued Xiahou Dun. Lao Liu retreated because of the lack of soldiers.

Therefore, Ye County is connected to Xuluo in the north and Wancheng in the south. It is located above Xiadao in Fangcheng.Once the Ye County and Duyang area are occupied, the Wei army that supports Nanyang can be stopped from the north, and the big Han will be able to complete the task of occupying Nanyang.

According to Zhuge Liang's marching plan, it is not difficult to see that the army going east from Ankang will be the main force of the Han Dynasty and the top priority for the Han Dynasty to capture Nanyang.Therefore, Zhuge Liang is going to lead the army on this road, while the army going south from Wuguan is led by Liu Chan or Huang Quan.

After pondering for a while, Liu Chan marked Zhuge Liang on Ankang, his own name on Wuguan, and Huang Quan on Guanzhong.

That's right, the Han Dynasty still had a route army. In order to confuse the Wei people, this route army dispatched Guanzhong soldiers to attack Hedong, thinking it was a fake soldier.

Taken together, the big man will go east next year, and there will be three armies.Zhuge Liang led the main force out of Ankang County and attacked Nanyang.Liu Chan led the soldiers to attack Wuguan and attracted the enemy from Jingzhou.Huang Quan pretended to be a soldier and took Hedong as a countermeasure.

After Liu Chan finished annotating the memorial, he let out a long breath.He smelled the duck soup in his breath, and felt a little hungry, so he put down his pen on the desk, took a lacquered bowl of duck soup and drank it.From time to time, he picked up the chewy old duck meat and chewed it. The taste was very delicious, which made Liu Chan nod his head.

Xia Houhui waited beside him, seeing Liu Chan's loving expression, he felt a sweetness in his heart, and a smile appeared on his graceful face, which made her even more beautiful.

Xia Houhui knew that Liu Chan didn't like to meddle in political affairs, so he didn't speak.Just holding a wooden spoon, adding duck soup to the empty lacquer bowl.

Liu Chan held the lacquer bowl with one hand, sipped the duck soup lightly, opened Zhuge Liang's other memorials with the other hand, and read them.

This seal memorial is Zhuge Liang's intentional modification of personnel appointments for the Eastern Expedition to Nanyang.For example, Liao Hua and Fu Kuang in Xiangyang County, Deng Ai and Wei Yan in Nanyang, Gao Xiang and Huo Yi in Nanjun will march.

These generals from the Jingbei area are familiar with the local terrain, and they are also local people with common surnames, which is extremely helpful for the big Han to appease the people on the spot and regain the hearts of the people after they conquered Nanyang.The generals from the northwest and Bashu were not transferred unless necessary.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang deliberately asked Jiang Wei to take over Deng Ai's position as governor of Shuofang, transferred Wei Yan from the position of governor of Liangzhou, and let Zhang Yi take over Wei Yan's position.

Appointed servant Lu Zhi as governor of Jingzhou, becoming the first governor of the Han state who was not a scholar of Jingzhou.This will mark that Zhuge Liang will formally absorb Luzhi into the core officials of the Han Dynasty by offering a strategy to capture Jingbei.

Liu Chan lightly raised the corner of his mouth, picked up the jade seal and put it on the memorial, approving Zhuge Liang's transfer order to the generals.

Seeing that Liu Chan had finished his work, Xia Houhui slid into Liu Chan's arms along the way. Through the thin gauze, the warm skin of the two was close to each other.A pair of big watery eyes looked up at Liu Chan.

Liu Chan put his arms around Xiahou Hui's plump waist, tightened his arms and lamented its softness like boneless, stretched his big hands, and stood up all at once.Amid Xia Houhui's exclamation, Liu Chan picked up the beauty, passed through the curtain, and threw her on the bed.

……

After the ups and downs, Xia Houhui listened to Liu Chan's heartbeat, and wanted to ask Liu Chan's empress several times, but he didn't dare to speak until he fell asleep due to sleepiness.
