Mi Han

Chapter 128 Ji Han Shuangbi Spring Is Coming
Outside the city of Chengdu, Zhuge Liang reluctantly looked back at Liu Bei who was gradually moving away until his figure completely disappeared from his sight.

After Liu Bei and his thousands of relatives disappeared into the horizon, Zhuge Liang turned around and looked at the hundreds of courtiers in Chengdu behind him.

He said loudly: "Now Your Majesty has mobilized a large army into Jing to defend the country, and Yizhou is empty of troops."

"Under the emptiness of troops, it is inevitable that Xiao Xiao will make trouble."

"Liang bears the heavy responsibility of the king staying behind, and I hope that all the ministers can work together with Liang to guard Yizhou for the king."

"To wait for the day when the king triumphs."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, the hundreds of Chengdu courtiers present bowed to Zhuge Liang one after another, shouting in unison: "Wei."

Among the hundreds of Chengdu courtiers present, because of the advantages of the local area, the local gentry in Yizhou accounted for more than half.

Although under the previous promulgation of "Shu Ke", the interests of most of the Yizhou aristocratic families present have been greatly damaged, which made them quite resentful.

However, they glanced at Zhuge Liang standing in front of them like a pine and cypress, and temporarily let go of some thoughts in their hearts.

Everyone in the world knows that the tactics of war in Hanzhong are the most intriguing, and Cao Cao suffered great harm when he said "it can be attacked" on Dingjun Mountain.

But at that time, if Zhuge Liang had not planned strategies in Chengdu, calmed people's hearts, suppressed dissidents, and continuously sent troops, food and grass to the front line of Hanzhong.

Liu Bei and Fazheng, who were in Hanzhong, could not wait for the opportunity to say that "it can be hit".

Zhuge Liang was able to stabilize the rear area of ​​Yizhou for Liu Bei by himself, not all because of his virtue of Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi.

The dragon is lying in the middle of Shu, so don't move rashly.

After saying these words, Zhuge Liang ordered the hundreds of Yizhou ministers present to return to the city to work first so as not to delay political affairs.

Under Zhuge Liang's order, the hundreds of Yizhou courtiers in the field left one after another soon after.

Outside Chengdu, only Zhuge Liang and one other person were left.

The person who accompanied Zhuge Liang was named Ma Su, with a small character.

Ma Di, a native of Yicheng, Xiangyang, is the younger brother of Ma Liang, who is highly valued by Liu Bei today.

At the beginning, he followed Liu Bei to Shu as an officer in Jingzhou. After Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, he was made the county magistrate of Chengdu.

Ma Di is talented and good at discussing military strategy, because of this, Zhuge Liang used to look at him quite differently in the past, and every time he met him, he would talk from day to night.

Seeing that all the ministers had left, Ma Su bowed to Zhuge Liang and said, "According to the general, will your king be able to win the battle in Jingzhou this time?"

The question Ma Di asked is exactly the question in the mind of every courtier in Yizhou today.

As time went by, more and more news had spread to Chengdu.

Recently, the military information received by Chengdu Central Committee is that Cao Cao personally led [-] troops to suppress Xiangyang, and Lu Meng also led [-] troops to surround the public security.

It was after receiving this news that Liu Bei became more and more anxious. Before Zhuge Liang could fully gather the soldiers and horses in Shu, he planned to set off early.

After this military news spread in the city of Chengdu, facing the crisis situation where the two princes of the world joined forces and gathered 20 troops to surround Jingzhou, people in Chengdu were panicked for a moment.

Many people were intimidated by the military strength of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, thinking that Liu Bei led the army to rescue Jingzhou this time, and he did not have much confidence in winning.

If it weren't for Liu Bei's throwing of jade to prove his will, those celebrities in Yizhou would probably jump out again and beg Liu Bei to give up Jingzhou.

Now, not only the ministers who are native of Yizhou have doubts in their hearts, but even many people in the Jingzhou faction that Liu Bei relies on as their arms have doubts about this.

For example, today's Ma Di.

It's just that compared to Yizhou scholars, it is impossible for Jingzhou scholars to suggest that Liu Bei give up Jingzhou.

They just expressed concern about the future of Jingzhou.

Facing Ma Di's inquiry, Zhuge Liang's graceful face showed no worry at all.

He said to Ma Su, "Now in Chengdu, only Wu and Xiaozhi can persuade the Lord to stop the Eastern Expedition.

But the Eastern Expedition is an inevitable thing, whether it is to save the former general, or for the great cause of the Lord, Jingzhou must not be lost. "

"What everyone worries about is that the enemy's army is strong and our army is few."

"However, in the matter of military struggle, there is no constant situation, and the success or failure cannot be determined solely by the number of troops."

"Although Cao Cao's army is strong, there are no water troops in his troops.

As long as the former general ordered his navy to block the Han River and cut off the waterway, so that Cao Wei's cavalry could not cross the Han River, the two cities of Xiangyang and Jiangling would be safe for the time being. "

"As for the police."

Zhuge Liang's tone paused.

At this time, he recalled the voice of a person reciting "Shu Ke", Zhuge Liang's eyes also showed a little nostalgia.

Although Mi Yang and him are not like Fazheng, they have a formal master and apprentice name.

But in the matter of teaching Mi Yang, what he taught was no less than what Fazheng taught.

It's just that in his usual life, what he teaches more is the matter of political strategy.

Fazheng misses Mi Yang, why doesn't he?

"The public security city is strong, and I personally supervised the construction."

"Zi Sheng already has a good reputation in Jingzhou, and his actions in the past were quite subtle. With the police stationed by him, there will be no worries in a short period of time."

"Your Majesty brought an army of [-] into Jing this time. Although the strength is small, if the plan is right, we will be able to retreat the two enemies and protect Jingzhou."

Seeing Zhuge Liang's conviction, Ma Su couldn't help asking, "According to what the general has seen, after the king leads the army into Jing, will he serve as a support for the former general, or should he go to relieve the siege of the police first?"

"Or should we divide our troops into two places, and each will rescue them?"

Zhuge Liang didn't answer Ma Di's question, he just replied, "Now that Xiaozhi is following the king's eastward expedition, with Xiaozhi here, the king should have no worries of defeat, and you can feel at ease."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he looked at Ma Di, and saw that the worry on his face had faded a lot.

The reason why Zhuge Liang explained so much to Ma Di was that he valued Ma Di and wanted to train Ma Di into a talent.

It is also because Ma Di is a representative figure among Jingzhou scholars in Yizhou today since Ma Liang followed the army to the east.

Jingzhou is in danger, and the most worrying thing in Yizhou is these scholars from Jingzhou.

So Zhuge Liang deliberately told Ma Di his views. After Ma Di spread his remarks in the next day, the hearts of Jingzhou scholars in Yizhou will naturally gradually settle down.

As for the words he said, they were not deliberately said to appease people, they were the real thoughts in his heart.

Zhuge Liang looked at the sun in the sky, and he stretched out his slender fingers to point to the rising sun in the sky.

Then he clasped his fingers tightly in a circle, enveloping the warm sun in his palm.

Today's Liu Bei is no longer the one who was trapped in Xinye.

With his careful planning for more than ten years, Liu Bei's power today is like the rising sun in the sky, full of vigor.

Liu Bei's strength is no longer what it used to be, and there are countless elite soldiers and strong generals under his command.

At this time, as long as Jingzhou is not lost, the revival of the Han Dynasty is no longer a dream.

And it is no longer a dream that he wants to bring all the people in the world under his kingly rule, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment.

The future is expected.

Although Liu Bei is now the king of Hanzhong, his status is extremely precious, but he has been fighting endlessly all his life, and today he still chooses to go out on horseback instead of riding around in the king's car like Cao Cao.

Back then, when Liu Bei stationed troops in Xinye with weak forces, he once expressed emotion to Liu Biao:

I never leave the saddle, and the flesh of my thighs disappears.Now I don't ride anymore, my thighs are raw.If the sun and the moon are galloping, the veteran will come to an end, but the achievements will not be built, so it is sad.

It is precisely because of the sad past that Liu Bei, who has always been high-spirited and never discouraged, cherishes the time when he can fight in person when he enters the sea.

Unless he dies, he will not let himself have the day of resurrection.

But although Liu Bei went out on horseback, Fazheng was ill, so Liu Bei gave up his king's car to Fazheng to rest.

Moreover, Liu Bei was afraid that Fazheng would be working hard, so he specially ordered his Wang Jia to slow down so as not to bump into Fazheng.

With the presence of the slow-moving king, the speed of the entire army was slowed down a lot.

So after driving a certain distance, Fazheng immediately clapped his hands and called Wang Jia to stop.

As Wang Jia stopped, Liu Bei, who was marching, thought that something had gone wrong with Fazheng, so he hurriedly rode up to his Wangjia, and asked Wang Jia about Fazheng's way, "Xiaozhi is all right!"

Seeing this scene, it seemed that Fazheng sitting in the king's car was the king of Hanzhong.

But this scene made all the soldiers and officials present no wonder.

Liu Bei's favor to Fazheng is more excessive than this.

Fazheng, whose face was getting paler, opened Wang Jia's small window and said to Liu Bei, "Your Majesty went inside to talk, and I have something to say to your Majesty."

Seeing that Fazheng's face was not looking good, Liu Bei hurriedly got off his horse and entered the king's car.

After entering the king's car, Liu Bei felt a little cold in the king's car, and immediately reprimanded the waiter in the car, saying,

"How to burn the stove. Shang Shuling is sick, how can he catch the cold."

Facing Liu Bei's reprimand, the waiter quickly kowtowed to admit his mistake.

Liu Bei's meticulous care for Fazheng made Fazheng feel warm in his heart.

But then Fazheng spread out a map in front of Liu Bei, bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Your Majesty, our army's marching speed is too slow."

"Thirty thousand troops gathered in the belly of the fish and waited for the king to arrive at Yangbian and lead them out."

"According to the current speed of our army, it will take half a month at the fastest to travel from Chengdu to the belly of the fish.

Soldiers are precious and fast, and the military situation in Jingzhou is urgent, so there is no delay. "

How could Liu Bei, who has been in battle for a long time, not know what Fazheng said?
It's just that Fazheng was dragging his sick body and traveling with the army. The roads in the middle of Sichuan were rough. In order to take care of Fazheng's body, the marching speed must not be too fast.

Fazheng also knew that Liu Bei was worried about his health, but he went out with the army to help Liu Bei, not to be Liu Bei's burden.

In the spacious king's car, Fa Zheng pointed to the map he had unfolded and said to Liu Bei, "Please look at it, Your Majesty."

The direction Fazheng was pointing at was Yidu County.

Seeing that Fazheng pointed his finger at Yidu County, Liu Bei's expression suddenly became serious.

Fazheng cheered up and said, "Yidu County has three counties under its jurisdiction, Xiling, Yidao, and Yishan. The area is small, but these three counties are all important military locations."

"The master's terrain is the help of soldiers. Predicting the enemy's victory, calculating the dangers and dangers, the way of a general.

Those who know this and use warfare will surely win, and those who do not know this and use warfare will surely lose. "

"Yidu County is adjacent to Nanjun County in the east, and fish belly in the west. This is the only way for the king to lead his army out of Sichuan and into Jing."

"The mountains in the county are towering and the terrain is steep.

And there is a Xiaoting in Yidao County in the county. The terrain here is dangerous, surrounded by mountains and rivers.

If this place is acquired by the enemy, the enemy only needs to send a small number of soldiers and horses to intercept the water, and they can prevent tens of thousands of our troops from entering Jingzhou. "

"At that time, if our army wants to enter Jing, we will have to hoard a large army at Xiaoting and join forces to defeat the enemy."

"However, it's winter, the sky is dry, and there are many mountains and forests in Yidu County. Under the joint camp, the enemy can attack with fire, so this is a big taboo for military strategists."

"What's more, this place is the heart of Yidu County. If it is lost here, Yidu County will be lost."

"At the beginning, the king ordered Meng Da to go north to attack the counties of Fangling and Shangyong, but now Yidu County is empty of troops.

All the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou blocked Cao Wei's army in the north, and the army was besieged by Jiangdong's army in the south, and they were unable to move. "

"If there is a decisive person in the enemy army and leads a surprise army across the river to attack Yidu County, Yidu prefect Fan You will be caught unguarded, and Yidu will be in danger."

"If Yidu is lost, our army in Central Shu will not be able to advance or retreat. At that time, not to mention that Jingzhou is in danger, even the tens of thousands of troops led by your majesty are in danger of being overthrown."

"That's why the king is thinking that it is safe for the king, so the king should rush to Yufu County immediately, and then rush to Yidu County with Xingye.

Let him lead the troops to garrison the important places, and guard the east gate for the king. "

"And as long as there is no loss, even if the former general is defeated, he can lead the troops back step by step and return to Sichuan and Shu."

"Yidu County is indeed a battleground for military strategists. Your Majesty must take precautions early."

Although Fazheng was sick, when he talked about the timing of the war, the paleness on Fazheng's face was instantly replaced by flushing.

As his fingers kept moving on the map, he had already planned the future marching strategy for Liu Bei.

This is Fazheng's home court exclusively, and he has incomparable confidence in his home court.

It was only after explaining his strategy that Fazheng started to cough again because he had exhausted his mind too much.

Although it was said that Zhengzheng's cough was not severe, every cough he made was like a heavy hammer hitting Liu Bei's heart.

Liu Bei was about to express his concern for Fazheng, but Fazheng waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Zhengzheng is sick and weak, but you can move forward slowly."

"It's just that Your Majesty is responsible for the great cause of the Han Dynasty. Now Jingzhou is in danger, and Yidu is very dangerous. I hope Your Majesty will go quickly."

After hearing Fazheng's advice, although Liu Bei was worried about Fazheng's illness, he was the lord and he had more important things to do.

Therefore, he said to the Dharma, "Filial piety must take good care of the body."

"Among all the ministers, Xiaozhi and Kong Ming are the fewest. I want to entrust the future affairs to the two of you. I hope that Xiaozhi will not let Gu feel the pain of breaking his heart."

For Liu Bei's trust, Fazheng smiled lightly,
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

After receiving Fazheng's promise, Liu Bei just left Wang Jia, and then he left behind a thousand pro-army to guard Fazheng and marched towards the belly of the fish.

He himself led the rest of the pro-army and the ministers galloped towards the belly of the fish.

After Liu Bei left, Fazheng began to cough violently in Wang's car because he no longer deliberately suppressed his illness.

Fazheng took out a piece of cloth and covered the corner of his mouth, and then he felt the smell of blood in his nose.

But he just put the blood-stained cloth into his arms silently.

Thinking of the coming of spring, Fazheng's eyes flashed with wisdom.

Fazheng looks to the north: Since you want to fight again, then I will send you off again.

Then Fazheng took out the pen and paper, and began to write in the car.

What he is writing is all his insights and experiences on military warfare and strategy in his life, and the eighteen strange plans he has set up in his life.

He wanted to finish writing before meeting Mi Yang.

In fact, Fazheng didn't say a word to Liu Bei just now.

Don't worry, the king, if one day he is gone, he will cultivate a second self for the king before he dies.

　I'm so tired today, I wanted to ask for a day off, but I still feel embarrassed.

　　Sorry to keep you waiting.

　　It should be gone today, is it really sleepy?

　　It will be stable tomorrow.

　　The new update time and update rules will be posted in the work related place in a while, and those who are interested can find out.

　　Finally, I would like to thank the book friend Zisu Ling, the first leader of this book, and corresponding updates will be arranged soon.
