contend

Chapter 366
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

For so many years, what storms and waves have you not experienced?
"Sima Zhao wants to change the situation with a mere Chen Tai. It's wishful thinking." Yang Zheng looked at his two disciples calmly and said.

"Chen Tai hooked up with Du Tong, which one is hateful!" Meng Guan said angrily.

Concern leads to chaos, and Du Tong is already a traitor in his eyes.

"The general must have countermeasures." Pang Qing believed blindly.

"Those who want to betray will always betray. It is a good thing for us that Du Tong has expressed his position at this time."

At the beginning Sima Yi, Master Sima and his son sat in Luoyang, drew their swords and looked around, asking who would dare to do anything in the world.

Wang Ling jumped out and was wiped out.

Guan Qiujian jumped out and was also destroyed.

Now Yang Zheng is in the same situation, he drew his sword and looked west, asking who would dare to beat me!
Du Tong jumped out by himself now, didn't he give Yang Zheng a reason to swing his sword?
Most of the world's affairs are like this, there are advantages and disadvantages, it depends on the strength of the sword in your hand and the angle you use to break it.

The [-] army is sharpening their swords, and Zhang Ye is by his side.

Yongzhou was empty like never before.

A mere Chen Tai, what can I do?

Meng Guan and Pang Qing understood in an instant, and the discouragement on their faces was swept away, "This subordinate knows!"

Large-scale wars cannot be fought now, but small local wars are still okay.

"Call Du Yu, Wei Guan, and Peng Hu to discuss matters, and by the way, let Suo Jing come too."

Lu Zhi temporarily sits in the Western Capital, taking charge of farming affairs, so he came here in a hurry.

"Wei!" Seven people entered.

Meng Feng went out alone and stretched.

Looking at the lively soldiers in the barracks, I feel more and more depressed.

Sima Yi and Deng Ai have their own way, so they play those fake things.

If we hang up Huangfulong Chen Taishi and scold him by ourselves, if we are not sure, hundreds of thousands of small troops will come over us long ago.

In the morning, everyone came one after another.

"Now that the general has swept across Liangzhou, Yang Zheng is quite afraid. Deng Ai also has the ability to counterattack Liangzhou. The reason why he provoked Yang Zheng was not because he was afraid of your army attacking Guanzhong, but also because of Ma Yan's courage. Before Meng Feng read the secret letter, he quickly guessed Deng Ai's intention.

The situation in Yongliang is just like what I said, it is because Meng Feng is afraid that Deng Ai will attack Liangzhou, but Meng Feng is afraid that Meng Feng will attack Guanzhong.

Because the autumn harvest is coming soon.

Moreover, in the battle of Yuyin, the Yongliang army had been defeated, and Deng Ai's troops were actually not small.

Wei Guan was also licking his wounds in Nan'an.

However, after Sima's integration, the strength of his subordinates only went up, but did not go down.

"Since that's the case, why did you send your troops to the east and take Chang'an?" Peng Hu asked with concern in his eyes.

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

The onlookers Meng Guan and Pang Qing had cold eyes.

But Du Tong poured a ladle of hot water on it, "If you go all out and pour out the country, it will be difficult to win Chang'an. The difficulty lies in keeping it. Sima Yi will come here with all the country. At that time, Yang Zheng and Ma Yan will be in the west. With Wei Guan at the front, your army will not be in danger of being overthrown. At this time, you should entangle with Meng Feng, and you should quickly take Dichang, intimidate Zhangye, and deter Jiuquan."

Meng Feng actually meant that too.

The problem is in Guanzhong, but the natural dangers such as Tongguan and Wuguan are in the hands of others.

After arguing with Sima Yi, scolding Huangfulong, and having a lot of meat, Meng Fengai was still able to hold down the coffin of Chen Tai's family.

But if you take Chang'an, the situation will be the same.

Bafu was overthrown, and Sili was shaken. Even for the sake of face, Meng Fengai had to fight her own life.

Moreover, the battle in Anding is exactly the same as the battle in Chang'an.

The advantage of having no inside line is Chen Tai's family.

"The time to attack Guanzhong has not yet come!" Sima said with a final word.

Eat one bite at a time, strategic determination is very important.

Besides, Deng Ai, Chen Taifu, Chen Taiwang, and Wei Guan also lived on dry food.

Chang'an is a majestic city in the sky, with a small population, and there are no two support troops, Wei Guan and Chen Taiwang. It is very difficult to defend it for a year or so.

Zhuge Ke's Yin Jian is far away.

"So what should you do if Yang Zheng sneaks up close to your army?" Meng Guan asked.

Du Tong shook his head and said, "Yang Zheng is good at sneak attacking. He is a Confucian scholar. If he is a military strategist, he will be provoked by Deng Ai's gossip."

Indeed, Zhangye was surrounded by himself, without Wuwei in the east, Xihai in the south, and Sima Zhao in the west.

If Yang Zheng knew a little bit about the art of war, he should have detained Du Zhai, but secretly prepared to cooperate with Meng Feng's future counterattack.

"If the general regains the Western Regions and returns to Jiuquan and Zhangye, then Yang Zheng will surrender in battle." Du Tong said calmly.

It may be best to fight and surrender, avoiding an internal friction.

Liangzhou has a small population.

"It can make Jiang command Qiang cavalry to raid Bafu, and make Deng Ai exhausted." Du Yu's eyes rolled up, and he blurted out a poisonous plan.

"Yes!" Sima refused after thinking about it.

Du Tong frowned, but remained silent in the end.

The determination has been made, Sima is no longer firm, and Du Tong is left to preside over the Wuwei small situation, with Du Yu as his deputy.

Mobilize 7000 guards, 8000 heavy cavalry, and [-] cavalry to go south to Xiaodouba Valley and retreat into Xihai County.

When they arrived at Haixi City, they joined Zhang Te's eight thousand cavalry and retreated to the Western Regions.

That road is the Qiang Middle Road in the mouth of merchants.

Qiangzhong Road is also an auxiliary road of the Hexi Corridor.

It connects with Huangzhong Road in the east, and there are no two lines in the west to retreat into the Western Regions.

All the way through the Qaidam Basin, heading north to Dunhuang.

One goes far around the Eastern Kunlun Mountains, retreats into the Yaoqiang Kingdom, and goes directly to Lao Loulan, which appears in front of the Dichang Kingdom.

Both roads are easy to walk, but the desert in that era is far smaller than in the previous life, there are few oases along the way, there are no merchants from the Western Regions to lead the way, and the small army is unimpeded.

In fact, according to the art of war, a cavalry detour around the East Kunlun Mountains and across the desert is the best way to raid Dichang.

But Sima dared to take risks.

Even in the previous life, that road was the road of death, let alone that era.

One's own strength surpasses that of Gao Chang, just play steadily.

All the way, the wind, food and sleep, the dry and cold desert, the dry Gobi, the wasteland with little vitality, and there is no stone forest that looks like gods and ghosts.

There are crises everywhere. There is no time when people will suddenly fall into the quicksand, no time when there will be no snakes blocking the way, no time when there will be no rolling stones falling on it, no time when you close your eyes at night, and you will become a cold corpse in the morning. corpse...

Everything is testing the will of the soldiers.

It is true that Meng Feng's army was the same as the army of that era, Xuan Yilang and his men did their best to appease the emotions of the soldiers.

The gongs and drummers also came in handy, so that the boring and happy march lost some cheerful atmosphere.

After walking for a full month, the expeditionary force appeared on Yangguan City.

Sima Zhao personally led people to meet him later.

He has a childlike face with white hair and a flushed complexion, as if Sima saw a fairy under a New Year painting when he was young.

According to legend, Wei Wu once asked me for advice on the art of longevity. It has been more than [-] years since Wei Wu passed away, and Sima Zhao still looked wrong.

According to history, it is said that I lived to be 180 years old...

"My junior pays homage to Duke Huangfu!" Meng Feng dared to take the younger one, but after all, Sima is still my great-grandchild.

"General Yang has broken the old man." Sima Zhao bowed his hands and saluted, with a wide smile, looking at Sima irritably.

Although the eyes are irritable, they are normal and deep, as if they want to penetrate people's hearts, but they also make people feel happy.

"The country is difficult, and the country is in danger. Fortunately, Wu Gong upholds loyalty, and I am thanking Xiao Wei on behalf of Xiao Wei. What can I say?"

But Sima Zhao laughed, and before he finished laughing, he sighed with emotion: "The general is young and ineffective, and he is a dragon and a phoenix among people!"

Those words sounded like greetings, but also seemed to have no purpose.

Sima only regarded it as a polite remark, and entered the customs with Sima Zhao.
