Chapter 140 You Are Not Zhuge Kongming!who are you?Crazy Sima Yi! (seeking subscription)
Sima Yi finally fled back.
He never dreamed that countless news came from before, all proving that Zhuge Liang was dead.
But he never believed it!
He waited until the Shu army withdrew before he was truly sure that Zhuge Liang was dead, but he was still deceived!
However, for an old fox like him, even if the entire army is wiped out, he will escape alive.
Even though Wei Yan fought hard and tried to kill the enemy's generals, he still couldn't keep more than 2 Wei troops with his thousands of elite soldiers.
It is already the limit to be able to resist Wei Jun's return aid, and you still want to take the enemy's head from Wanjun?Unless he is Lu Fengxian reborn.
Therefore, Wei Yan could only watch Tian Gong escape in front of his eyes, his eyes were red: "Old thief Sima, don't go, don't go!"
No matter how affectionately Wei Yan called, Sima Yi ran very fast without looking back, not wanting to stay here for a while.
"Damn it! Chase! Keep chasing!" Wei Yan roared.
But the officer on the side quickly shouted: "General, don't chase after the poor, don't chase after the poor!"
Another officer shouted: "General, the prime minister has an order. If the pursuit fails and Sima Yi cannot be taken down, then you can't pursue again!"
Although Wei Yan took the lead, he had some brains after all. If he pursued again, he would chase Wei Jun to the river. At that time, Sima Yi raised his arms and shouted: "There is no way to retreat! Why don't you lords fight hard!"
Then these thousands of them will be wiped out by the whole army in an instant.
Knowing that he had missed a great opportunity, Wei Yan sighed for a moment.
The officer on the side quickly comforted: "General, if we can successfully prevent the Wei army from returning to aid, it is already a great achievement! Why is this so?"
"Tiangong is right in front of you. If you can capture the old thief Sima alive, you will surely frighten the puppet dynasty. Isn't it a pity?" Wei Yan wiped off the blood on his face and said viciously: "That's all, just spare his life and let him die." Catch him again!"
at the same time.
On the side of the main force of the Shu army, this battle was a complete victory, with countless beheads and more prisoners. Part of the army fled back with Sima Yi, and part of the army scattered and fled.
After all, it is said to be a siege, but it is just to divide the troops into several groups and outflank the key arteries. It is not really [-] people forming a big circle to surround the enemy.
So there are still many Wei Jun panicked, either running towards the mountain or rolling down the mountain. These people have no way to chase them, so they can only let them go.
Sima Yi fled looking forward to the wind and fled all the way to Mazhong Highland, but he still had lingering fears in his heart. He knew that the general situation was over, and with so many people, there was no way to hold this highland.
"Send the message back, we need support!" Sima Yi said quietly.
He seemed to have aged a lot during this journey of escape, and he looked particularly haggard at the moment. After so many years of health preservation, he couldn't hold back the embarrassment at this moment.
This is also why Sima Yi is so afraid of Zhuge Liang, this guy is too scary, he can easily shorten his life!
at the same time.
In the capital city of Shuhan.
Following the news of Zhuge Liang's death, the ruling and opposition parties were filled with grief.
Liu Adou was even more panicked. The father who used to be in charge of everything... died like this?
He sat slumped on the ground, still a little bit unable to believe the news, and was a little lost for a while.
"Your Majesty, my condolences." Jiang Wan, the minister at the side, quickly helped Liu Chan up, "The prime minister is dead, and people cannot be resurrected after death. We should think about the way forward."
"Wuuuuuu, my father-in-law, my father-in-law, why did you..." Liu Chan's sorrow came from his heart, tears couldn't stop falling down, the whole court was full of grief, everyone bowed their heads, The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
"Your Majesty, the prime minister's last order: After my death, the person who can take care of the big things: Jiang Gongyan is appropriate, and please respect the prime minister's last order..." Amidst the grief, someone suddenly spoke.
As soon as this was said, someone asked back: "What do you mean? The prime minister just died, and you can't wait to seize power?"
"No, major national affairs are not trivial. His Majesty needs someone to assist him. This is the prime minister's will. How can this be called seizing power?" The man immediately asked back.
When Zhuge Liang died, in order to continue to safeguard the interests of the Jingzhou Group, the successor was Jiang Wan from the Jingzhou area.
In Shuhan, there are three major interest groups in total.
Yizhou Group, Dongzhou Group and Jingzhou Group.
The representatives of the three major political forces in the later period were Qiao Zhou, Li Yan, and Zhuge Liang.
Before the establishment of Shuhan, the original cake in this area belonged entirely to the Yizhou Group.
Liu Yan, Liu Zhang and his son came to the capital of Shu, and the cake was divided into two parts, Yizhou and Dongzhou.
After Liu Bei entered Shu, the cake was divided into three parts, the Jingzhou Group took the most, the Dongzhou Group was squeezed all the time, and the Yizhou Group became the bottom of the power.
The three forces faced each other tit-for-tat, and the failure of the Shu Han in the Battle of Yiling weakened the three forces. Liu Bei died again, and the last backbone of the three major interest groups was broken.
The so-called Northern Expedition was, on the one hand, to not forget the last wish of the Former Lord, and at the same time to cultivate cohesion.
Second, it can also divert social conflicts, allowing everyone to look outside instead of looking at themselves.
When Zhuge Liang died, the situation that had been barely maintained before collapsed in an instant, and everything was born. Everyone wanted to get more benefits after Zhuge Liang died.
The Jingzhou faction did their part. They wanted to maintain the dominance of the previous Jingzhou faction, so they elected Jiang Wan, who had won the prime minister's will.
Listening to the courtiers' constant quarrel, Liu Chan raised his head and said with some displeasure: "We will discuss this matter later, and we will discuss the prime minister's funeral first!"
As soon as these words came out, the quarreling voices suddenly became less, and everyone was discussing how to hold the prime minister's funeral.
Before Zhuge Liang died, he asked Liu Chan about his burial. His funeral must be simple, requiring four people to carry the coffin for him. He walked all the way south, and he could not be buried at the place where the rope broke until the rope broke by itself.
While everyone was discussing continuously, another messenger suddenly sent the latest news from the front line: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report! The prime minister defeated the Wei army in Wuzhangyuan, beheaded nearly 6 people, captured nearly [-] people, and won a complete victory!! !"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Adou above was stunned for a moment, and he asked blankly: "Prime Minister? Which Prime Minister?"
Hearing this, the messenger in the army was also dumbfounded. He raised his head and asked in a daze: "Your Majesty, do we have a second prime minister?"
"Of course we don't have a second prime minister, but the question is, isn't the prime minister already on his deathbed? Before there was more news that the prime minister had gone west, why can we defeat the Wei army now? A complete victory ?!" Liu Adou asked hastily.
At this moment, all the ministers in the court could not understand at all. They all looked at the messenger in the army with bewildered faces. What does this mean?
The prime minister defeated the Wei army in Wuzhangyuan?
The prime minister is dead, are you ready to retire?
At this time, someone shouted and asked: "The news of the prime minister's death has been sent before, what kind of news is this, what are you talking about?!"
The messenger froze for a moment, and quickly said: "This is the prime minister's trick to cheat Sima Yi. This man is cunning and suspicious by nature. If he can't fool everyone, then he won't be able to fool Sima Yi at all."
"The prime minister said that he had to do a full set of plays, so news came that he had died. As expected, Sima Yi had been tricked and rushed to chase after him. The prime minister expected all of this, surrounded him and killed him, and won a complete victory!"
As soon as these words came out, many ministers in the court looked at each other in blank dismay. No one thought that the news that was passed on before was actually fake news!You must know that even Liu Chan was deceived by this, with a lot of tears and snot, and now he actually tells me that this is a trick to cheat death?
This really played a trick on everyone!
Above, Liu Chan was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then his eyes showed joy: "Okay, okay, okay, great, the prime minister is not dead, this is a trick to cheat death, even I was deceived , let alone that old thief Sima?"
"It's worth celebrating, it's worth celebrating!"
"Break the Wei army, the prime minister is really mighty!"
"Five Northern Expeditions, this is the one we have won the most!"
"When this news spreads to Wu Wei, the world will be shocked! Praise my great man, Tianwei!"
at the same time.
On the Wuzhang Plain, Su Che flipped through the previous military news, and immediately cursed speechlessly: "You are really a moron of the Eastern Wu!"
In the three years of Jiahe, Quan and Shuke have made a big move! ——This is the joint military operation of Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan.
At that time, Zhuge Liang, Prime Minister of Shu, showed his martial arts, and Quan said that Emperor Wei Ming could not go far away-Zhuge Liang attracted firepower, and Sun Quan went to Jianghuai to steal chickens.
And the emperor sent troops to help Sima Xuanwang refuse to be bright, and led the navy to march eastward-Wei Guo chose to let Sima Yi deal with Zhuge Liang, and the emperor Cao Rui dealt with Sun Quan.
Before Shouchun, the right was returned——Sun Quan ran away before Cao Rui arrived.
Previously, it was true that the prime minister was physically weak, but it was the news of Soochow's defeat that really made him sick, and the mental blow accelerated his physical breakdown.
As far as the battle situation in Guanzhong was concerned before, Zhuge Liang gradually gained the upper hand in the battle against Sima Yi.
If Soochow could persevere for a little while, and Sima Yi was defeated at this moment, Wei Guo must be in a difficult situation.
But now, Sun Quan didn't even have the courage to stand in a stalemate with Wei, and ran away before Cao Rui's imperial conquest arrived.
If Sun Quan could restrain Cao Rui, then at this moment Su Che might not be able to drive straight in and take Chang'an!
Perhaps Sun Quan knew this and didn't want Shu Han to benefit, so he just slipped away!
"Forget it. In this way, we can only collect the loot." Su Che narrowed his eyes and looked at the map beside him.
The reason why Sima Yi has never dared to fight the Shu army is because he is afraid of Zhuge Liang on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has no need for it.
Once defeated, it will be difficult to take care of the Chang'an direction, the Yongliang direction and the grain-producing areas. He only needs to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and use the national power and the Shu army to consume it!
In Sima Yi's view, this is a struggle for national strength!Don't be a coward!
However, with the success of this battle, these grain-producing areas are all in Su Che's pocket.
At this time, it is the autumn harvest, which is a good time to harvest.
So Su Che didn't have to worry about feeding the [-] captives.
There is no food, nothing to eat, the enemy produces it for us!
At the moment, Su Che issued an order to bypass the Mazhong Highlands, harvest grain from the production areas in the direction of Chang'an and Yongliang, and then continue to station troops in Wuzhangyuan, and do not continue to attack. They just spend their time here, threatening the important town of Chang'an all the time. place.
Sima Yi stationed troops here before, and the food he planted now belongs to the Shu army.
In order to keep the important town of Chang'an, the Wei State must continue to send troops here, which will continue to consume national power.
When all the grains in the production areas in the direction of Chang'an and Yongliang were harvested by the Shu army, it would be even worse for Wei Guo.
After all the affairs were settled, Su Che summoned all the soldiers in the Wuzhangyuan barracks. Yang Yi, Fei Yi, Wei Yan, and Jiang Wei were at the front, and the other officers were behind.
They didn't know that the Prime Minister Zhuge above had changed.
Su Che looked at a few people, and said slowly: "The Wei army is defeated, and they will definitely retreat to the rear and defend Chang'an to the death. What we need to do now is to garrison the army here... Do you have any objections?"
Hearing this, Wei Yan became impatient.
At the beginning, when he proposed the Meridian Valley conspiracy, the prime minister refused to allow it. He wanted to lead the army alone, but the prime minister also refused. He was naturally unhappy to be suppressed like this.
Wei Yan didn't want to rebel, he just wanted to make contributions, seek an unworldly achievement, and have his own tactical thinking.
Hearing the prime minister's words at this moment, Wei Yan quickly said: "The Wei army was defeated. This is our best chance to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Why don't we continue to attack? Regardless of whether we can take Chang'an or not, at least take down Mei County first!"
Su Che glanced at Wei Yan, and said calmly: "Taking Mei County? And then? Are you waiting to continue fighting with the Wei army? The Wu army has already retreated. If we continue to attack, the Wei army will definitely transfer the main force. .”
"The Northern Expedition has been a great success this time, why bother to proceed rashly?"
"If we wait until the main force of the Wei army arrives, we will continue to attack, and the only way to lose is to lose."
"We have won a complete victory at this moment, and wait until the next Northern Expedition."
In a word, the gap in national strength is too great. Even if you win a complete victory in a short period of time, if you want to swallow the elephant and set the Central Plains in one go, that is simply impossible!
If this deadlock is really so easy to break, then Zhuge Liang will not lose hope and be completely desperate.
Even if they have won a short-term victory now, facing the Wei State, which occupies the Central Plains and holds the general trend of the world, this small defeat is nothing at all.
They can afford to lose!
The Shu Han is different. If the [-] troops return in a big defeat, the Shu Han will be completely gone.
The family background is too thin to afford and cannot gamble.
The defeat of Sima Yi at this moment was purely a surprise, which proved to Wei that the Shu Han was capable of attacking.
Five times of Northern Expeditions, successive years of attack, the whole Wei State has been permeated with the shadow of war for a long time. It is said in history that "Yongliang does not remove its armor, and the Central Plains does not release its saddle".
And the fifth Northern Expedition was a complete victory, which undoubtedly made things worse for Wei Guo.
Su Che can understand Wei Yan's desire to make contributions at this moment.
Wei Yan wanted to say something else, but Su Che raised his hand, and he squinted and said, "I probably already know what you want to say, but we just won a big victory, captured countless food and grass, and [-] soldiers surrendered. Is it an unstable factor, how do you want to attack? Are you crazy, or do you think I am crazy?"
Hearing this, Wei Yan had no choice but to lower his head. He had no way to refute these words. Unless all the [-] surrendered troops were killed, they would be unstable factors, and they would attack Wei with the [-] surrendered troops ?
What's the difference between this and courting death?
Even Wei Yan, who is dedicated to attacking, has to admit that it is indeed difficult to continue attacking now.
"If you don't have a brain, listen to what the prime minister has to say." At this time, Yang Yi sneered beside him.
"What are you, dare to say such a thing?!" Wei Yan was furious when he heard this, and cursed directly.
The conflict between the two has been going on for a long time. The reason for the conflict is not the deep hatred such as the hatred of killing the father and the hatred of taking the wife, but simply a disagreement in personality. There is civil unrest.
Yang Yi often contradicts Wei Yan, and Wei Yan reprimands Yang Yi every time, and even gestures with a knife to kill Yang Yi.
At this moment, Su Che looked at the quarrel between the two, and suddenly felt a little dizzy. Wei Yan was a fierce general, and he could get certain achievements every time he went to war, while Yang Yi dispatched food and grass to manage the logistics in the army, and did it in an orderly manner.
One is external and the other is internal. These two people like to quarrel. Faced with this situation, Zhuge Liang can only play the role of peacemaker, and neither of them wants to give up.
Su Che held his chin, looked at the quarrel between the two, and suddenly said: "At the beginning, Lin Xiangru made great achievements, but Lian Po was very unconvinced. He said to people: "I was born and died, and made many achievements in battle, but Lin Xiangru only relied on three inches. A rotten tongue is the official position above me. If I meet him, I must humiliate him face to face.'”
"When Lin Xiangru heard about it, he was tolerant, and deliberately pretended to be sick at home when he was in court, so as not to cause disputes with Lian Po."
"One day, when Lin Xiangru went out, he saw Lian Po's carriage approaching from a distance. He ordered his servants to turn the carriage around to avoid Lian Po."
"People around him said he was too timid. Lin Xiangru smiled and asked everyone: Which one do you think is better, General Lian or King Qin?"
"Everyone said in unison: Of course King Qin is powerful."
"Lin Xiangru said again: I dare to scold the king of Qin in public in the state of Qin, so how can I be afraid of General Lian? It's just that I thought that the reason why Qiang Qin dared not invade Zhao was because of the two of us. If we fought, the enemy would I'm going to take advantage of the loopholes. I can't forget the safety of the country!"
"These words reached Lian Po's ears, and Lian Po was ashamed, so he went to Lin Xiangru's residence barebacked and carrying thorns on his back."
"Now that the enemy is at hand, if we big men want to recover the Central Plains, we must have a Lian Po and a Lin Xiangru. What's the point of the two of you constantly arguing?"
Logically speaking, after these words, both of them should be ashamed, and then admit their mistakes to each other.
Who knew that after hearing this, the two looked at each other with disdain, and said with a sneer:
"Is he also worthy to be Lin Xiangru?"
"Is he also worthy of being Lian Po?"
Su Che: "..."
He finally knew why Zhuge Liang was not easy to be a peacemaker. Not everyone has the generosity to let go of personal grievances for the sake of the country.
Su Che frowned, and immediately said impatiently: "Okay, okay, shut up!"
As soon as these words came out, both of them lowered their heads. Su Che glanced at Wei Yan: "I can understand your desire to make contributions, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Next time I go out, I will command an army with you!"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Yan was immediately overjoyed, and he said ecstatically, "Thank you, Prime Minister!"
For a long time, Wei Yan was firmly suppressed by Zhuge Liang. He could only be a vanguard, and he had no chance to command an army and make great achievements.
According to historical records: Every time Yan Sui came out, he wanted to invite tens of thousands of soldiers, and he would meet with Liang in Tongguan, just like the story of Han Xin, who was not allowed under the Ming system.Yanchang said that Liang was timid, and lamented that his talents were inexhaustible.
The translation is: During the Northern Expedition, every time Wei Yan went out with Zhuge Liang, he wanted Prime Minister Zhuge to distribute [-] troops to him. The purpose was to lead the troops to attack the enemy from the side of the trail and attack them unprepared, just like Han Xin led the troops to build plank roads and cross Chencang secretly. , Finally joined forces with Zhuge Liang in Tongguan.However, Zhuge Liang refused every time.Wei Yan thought that Prime Minister Zhuge was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and he also lamented that he had no talent and could not display it.
The actual situation is that Zhuge Liang understands that with Wei Yan's reckless character, once he gets in the way, it is easy to cause big troubles.
Like Ziwu Valley's conspiracy, it is purely to take people out to send them off. Of course, it is impossible for such a reckless man to command an army.
But now, Su Che actually agreed to Wei Yan's previous wish. At this moment, Wei Yan's many grievances disappeared, which made him ecstatic.
When the other people heard this, their faces were a little subtle, but this was the prime minister's order, and they didn't say anything.
After dealing with Wei Yan's matter, Su Che continued to order: "Divide tens of thousands of troops, some of them will deliver food, and the captives will go back, and some will continue to station troops again, waiting for the next attack."
"The next time we attack... we will have to change our target."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback for a while, and they didn't realize it for a while. What does it mean to change the target?
Is it to change the direction of attack, or to change the opponent?
Jiang Wei asked curiously: "Prime Minister, I don't understand what you mean..."
"Why don't you understand?" Su Che smiled, and said lightly, "This time they united with Dongwu to attack Wei, they ran so fast, how can they unite again with such idiots?"
"Since this is the case, let's unite with Wei State, attack Wu together, and swallow Wu's land!!"
Hearing these words, all the generals were shocked, raised their heads one after another, and said in astonishment: "Fight Wu?"
Wu Guo has always been one of the allies of the Shu Han, while Wei Guo has been the target of constant attack. This has almost become the basic national policy of the Shu Han, but now, they want to change this basic national policy and turn around to attack allies?
This matter was so sudden and absurd that no one could understand it at all.
Jiang Wei said in astonishment: "Prime Minister, we beat the Wei army just after we defeated them. How can they let go of such a deep hatred and join forces with us to attack Wu?"
Even Wei Yan, who has always been known for his recklessness, was a little panicked at the moment. He quickly said: "Prime Minister, Wu can't be defeated, let alone whether he can succeed. Once Wu is destroyed, we will not be able to survive in the long run!"
The reason is simple. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was said that the world was divided into three parts.
But in fact, Cao Wei occupies two-thirds of the world, and it is still the land of the Central Plains, a prosperous city in the north, with a strong economy, a large population, and a prosperous national power.
And the south is mostly wild land.
The State of Wu has been dealing with Shanyue for a long time, and the Shu Han will also make great efforts to deal with the Nanman.
In the long river of history, only the north has always followed the south to fight, and few people can succeed in the northern expedition.
Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition succeeded. On the one hand, the south has almost developed, and on the other hand, the Yuan Dynasty has completely decayed.
In the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei was stable internally and occupied all the fertile land in the world. It was only a matter of time before such a terrifying existence unified the world.
It is precisely because he understands this that Zhuge Liang's strategy has always been to unite with Wu and attack Wei, constantly consuming Wei's national power.
It's a pity that Wu Guo's teammate is not good at all.
And Su Che dared to say that, he was not aimless, he laughed: "Before we were not qualified to join forces with Wei State to attack Wu State, but now it is different. We just fought a beautiful battle, which proves our strength. Here, constantly consuming the national power of Wei State, this is tantamount to a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh."
"They are more eager than anyone else for us to withdraw from the army, so they will definitely agree to our joint request!"
"As for the destruction of the land of Wu, we will be unable to support ourselves alone. Don't worry about this issue. How is the current situation different from that of a single tree?"
"We need to take a longer-term view and have a strategic vision!"
Su Che directly waved his hand and said, "I've come to a conclusion on this matter, so there's no need to argue any more!"
As soon as these words came out, the generals could only look at each other in blank dismay, unable to say anything else.
Zhuge Liang was no different from the real emperor in Shu Han.
During Liu Bei's period, Zhuge Liang had already started to manage the three counties, and managed all the affairs of the General Zuo's mansion. When Liu Bei went out, he directly reviewed the memorials and mobilized the army on Liu Bei's behalf.
After Liu Bei died, Zhuge Liang's positions were: Prime Minister, Lu Shang Shushi, Kaifu, Sili Xiaowei, and Yizhou Mu.
Cao Cao's previous positions were Prime Minister, Lu Shang Shushi, Kaifu, Sili Xiaowei, and Yuzhou Mu.
To some extent, if Zhuge Liang really wanted to replace him, it would not be a problem at all.
Since Su Che decided to unite with Wei to attack Wu, they couldn't stop it.
It was only now that they realized that the prime minister summoned his group over, not to discuss this matter with them, but just to inform them! !
soon.
The Shu army returned after a big victory, and the troops returned to the court. Su Che left Jiang Wei and Wei Yan at Wuzhangyuan, and at the same time sent a signal of friendly talks to the Wei army. Not surprisingly, the day of the peace talks is just around the corner.
at the same time.
As the Shu army defeated the Wei army, the world was shaken for a while, and Sima Yi also fell from the altar. He obviously only needs to be a turtle with a shy head and endure all the time to win the war by virtue of his national strength.
What you need to know is that the Shu army fought thousands of miles across the line, no matter how strong the national power was, it would be difficult for the Wei army to survive. For the Wei army, persistence is victory.
But Zhuge Liang's feigned death successfully deceived Sima Yi. In addition, he mobilized his troops like a god and instructed him like an arm. He successfully let Sima Yi go, annihilated the main force of the Wei army, and captured countless prisoners.
Feigning death is actually not the key, nor is it the key to successfully deceiving Sima Yi. The key is to deploy troops like gods, spread a big net, and forcefully swallow Sima Yi. This is the key of the key.
The departure of several teams depends on the precise calculation of the commander.
This kind of ability to dispatch troops is very terrifying. Since ancient times, all generals who can do this are god-like generals without exception. Han Xin can do it, and Bai Qi can do it. Before Zhuge Liang, obviously Can't do that.
Even Su Che is just imitating the cat and painting the tiger, reluctantly enacting a wave. The risk in this is very high. Once the Wei army's resistance is stronger, and once Sima Yi succeeds in returning to the rescue, it will be a failure.
Although it worked.
But there is no doubt that this is a very bold military action.
After this battle, people all over the world were amazed at Zhuge Liang's mobilization of troops like a god, and successfully defeated Sima Yi by feigning death.
And only the generals who really know how to do it, after learning about the specific actions, deduced it in person, one by one, the scalps were numb, and the several troops were exactly the same, and they appeared in key positions every time, and successfully completed this time. Siege.
As long as there is a problem in one of the links, it will fall short and lose everything!
The military operation this time is really too courageous!
In fact, even Sima Yi himself was very puzzled. When he was resuming the game after the war, he couldn't believe that this was a decision Zhuge Kongming could make.
This tm is Zhuge Kongming's style?
It's not like that at all!
It's not like the strategies and commands that Zhuge Kongming can make...
Sima Yi is very confident, no one knows Zhuge Liang better than him!
It was precisely because he knew better than anyone else that he was so confused. Others were amazed at Zhuge Liang's ability to mobilize troops like a god, but Sima Yi felt that Zhuge Liang seemed to be a different person!
This is Zhuge Kongming?
This is not Zhuge Kongming at all!
At this moment, Sima Yi had a very terrifying thought, that is: Is there a possibility that Zhuge Liang is dead, and he came back to life with a different person?
This thought flashed by, Sima Yi quickly shook his head, impossible, absolutely impossible.
But when this thought appeared, it was like a nightmare, constantly haunting Sima Yi's heart, and he couldn't get rid of it. If it wasn't like this, then what was the reason?
After that, wait for the friendly signal released by the Shu army, intending to unite with them to defeat Wu, which can be used as a condition for retreating.
Upon hearing this news, Sima Yi's eyes widened even more, and he said emotionally: "Impossible! Zhuge Kongming will never give up attacking us, and choose to cooperate with us to attack Wu Kingdom together!"
"He is not Zhuge Kongming!"
"He is definitely not Zhuge Kongming!"
"Who the hell is he?!"
Sima Yi quickly reported the news, Zhuge Kongming may have changed, this person is definitely not the old Zhuge Kongming!
But there is no doubt that this news was directly suppressed. Even the emperor Cao Rui thought that Sima Yi was insane because of this big defeat, and even said such words...
Cao Rui first comforted Sima Yi, telling him to take a good rest, don't take this defeat to heart, rest and recuperate first!
Cao Rui will not refuse Shu Han's cooperation!
The continuous Northern Expedition of the State of Shu has indeed caused a lot of trouble for the State of Wei. If they are willing to stop the attack and instead cooperate to attack the State of Wu, this will be beneficial to the State of Wei without any disadvantages.
After the Wu crusade is over, even if the Shu Kingdom occupies some Wu land, it will not be a climate, it is nothing at all, and it will be easily destroyed in the future!
Cao Rui is not afraid of raising tigers at all. Neither the Eastern Wu nor the Shu Kingdom can sustain the weather, because they are united together, which makes him very headache. If they can disintegrate their alliance, it would be better to destroy one of them first. but.
Shu is easy to defend but difficult to attack, while Soochow relies on the natural danger of the Yangtze River. If you attack one of them, you will inevitably be attacked by the other.
But now, the Shu Han released a friendly signal, and Cao Rui naturally readily agreed.
The previous defeats, many losses, and the loss of national power are nothing. For the sake of the overall situation, these can all be compromised and tolerated.
Cao Cao was able to let go of his blood feud at the beginning, accepted Zhang Xiu's surrender again, and gave high-ranking officials a generous salary and treated him with trust.
It's nothing for him to give up this little hatred now.
However, if you want to form an alliance, Cao Rui also began to bargain, hoping that the Shu Han would release the previous Wei army prisoners. If there is no sincerity at all, then who believes that their alliance is serious?
Facing Cao Rui's conditions, Su Che naturally couldn't accept all of them. He replied to Cao Rui: It is of course possible to return the captives, but this matter must be done after the defeat of Wu, and it will not be too late to return the captives of Wei State.
In addition, as a condition, Dahan and Wei have to resume trade, so that the two places can once again enter a period of peaceful coexistence.
Cao Rui didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be so thick-skinned. Not only did he not return the captives, but he also beat them back and demanded that the two places continue to trade!
And he calls himself a big man...
How dare you?
A land of one state dares to call itself a big man!
Well, Cao Rui endured these things. Politics is an art of compromise. Now it is not the Shu Han begging Wei Guo to defeat Wu, but releasing this friendly signal.
If the State of Wei disagreed, then the Shu Han stationed in Wuzhangyuan was no joke. They would continue to exert pressure and continue the Northern Expedition, consuming the national power of the State of Wei.
Cao Rui could only pinch his nose, agreed to Zhuge Liang's many requests, and resumed the trade between the two places, but for Wu Guo to take action, this matter has to be discussed in the long run.
As the two countries Shu Han and Wei Guo flirted with each other, Wu Guo noticed something was wrong.
Although Sun Quan didn't know what was going on between Shu Han and Wei, but just after a war, the two places resumed trade. This incident itself is very unusual. What kind of signal does this send?
Not right, very wrong!
Could it be that Shuhan, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is going to vote for Wei?
Impossible, they have just won a big victory, and the whole country of Wei is terrified, so there is no reason to vote for Wei.
The only explanation should be to use those captives to reach an agreement with Wei?
But that's not right either...
Why is it?
For a while, the mountain rain was about to come.
Sun Quan has always had some ominous premonition recently, he can't even sleep well, and he always has nightmares, which makes him very irritable.
at the same time.
When Su Che returned to the capital of Shu Han, he did two things successively.
A small thing, a big thing.
He first modified the spinning wheel and created a pedal spinning wheel that could spin three yarns, which was faster and more efficient than the one-spindle handwheel used before.
This has increased the efficiency of weaving Shu brocade several times.
Logically speaking, this is not a trivial matter.
But compared with the second matter, it is indeed a trivial matter.
He ordered that one billion copper coins be melted, and all of them were made up to one hundred and five baht!
One hundred coins is one hundred coins.
The source of these copper coins is the wealth obtained from Wei and Wu through Zhibaiqian.
According to historical records, during the Northern Expedition, Wei Guo even started to barter for things because he had no money.
Although the state of Wei is powerful, they don't have that much currency in circulation, such as "money". This also creates an illusion that Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and Wei State will soon be unable to persist.
At this moment, Su Che melted one billion copper coins and made all of them a hundred coins, just to harvest a wave of leeks from Wei and Wu.
There is actually a big problem with doing this.
One billion copper coins can produce at least [-] million straight hundred and five baht.
That is 500 billion dollars!
It is impossible to expand so many times in an instant without major problems.
If the money was digested by the Shu Han, the national power of the Shu Han would be drained in minutes.
So it must be passed on to Wu and Wei.
But the problem is, this is 500 billion. Naturally, Wei Guo and Wu Guo won't be harvested by you so foolishly!
Therefore, regarding the prime minister's decision, all the officials of the Shu Han were shocked by this crazy behavior.
One by one, they persuaded each other.
However, they were all rejected by Su Che, he insisted on going his own way!
Since Shu brocade's natural advantages are here, he naturally wants to make good use of it. After those days of research, he found a way to break this deadly situation!
Since Wei cannot be defeated by means of war, then there is no need to use war!
Victory with culture!Use the economy to win!
Another way to get the final victory!
in history.
The deeper reason for Zhuge Liang's defeat in the first battle lies in his mistakes in strategic guiding ideology.
He put too much emphasis on the means of war, took the initiative to attack, and resorted to militarism, and lacked an understanding of the role of social, political, economic, and cultural factors in calming the world.
This deep reason not only determined the failure of Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, but also determined the failure of his entire Northern Expedition!
That being the case, Su Che naturally had to make another decision. Even if he defeated the Wei army, he did not continue to attack, trying to get more land.
It is impossible to get those lands for a long time. Rather than not wanting them directly, what kind of sincerity can we talk about, unite Wei State to attack Wu State, and then carry out financial harvest from the two countries!
Time passes day by day.
With the large-scale dumping of Shu brocade, the market gradually became saturated.
In short, it just won't sell.
The sales volume of Shu Brocade is just that.
Only high-ranking officials and aristocratic families can buy Shu brocade. Poor people can't afford this expensive item, so sales have been limited.
But the 500 billion worth of [-] coins produced before has not been digested yet, not even one percent has been digested!
Wu Guo and Wei Guo are not fools, if they asked you to cut some leeks, how could they let you cut all the leeks?
In fact, this number is already very remarkable, [-] million yuan in a short period of time!
but the problem...
This is a drop in the bucket for the more than 490 billion yuan!
If the more than 400 billion yuan is not passed on, then the land of Shuhan will probably go through inflation dozens of times, and the people will live in dire straits and complaints will abound!
This situation worried all the ministers of the Shu Han court, and they didn't know what to do.
But Su Che gave a solution——
Can't sell anymore?
It's easy to solve.
Price increase!
It can be sold at a price increase!
As soon as these words came out, the ministers of Shu Han were dumbfounded.
Jiang Wan and Fei Yi were all dumbfounded! !
Originally, Shu brocade was widely praised because of its low price and good quality.
It can’t be sold now, but if the price rises, can it be sold?
How can you do this in business? ? !
The prime minister is not crazy, is he? !
(End of this chapter)
Sima Yi finally fled back.
He never dreamed that countless news came from before, all proving that Zhuge Liang was dead.
But he never believed it!
He waited until the Shu army withdrew before he was truly sure that Zhuge Liang was dead, but he was still deceived!
However, for an old fox like him, even if the entire army is wiped out, he will escape alive.
Even though Wei Yan fought hard and tried to kill the enemy's generals, he still couldn't keep more than 2 Wei troops with his thousands of elite soldiers.
It is already the limit to be able to resist Wei Jun's return aid, and you still want to take the enemy's head from Wanjun?Unless he is Lu Fengxian reborn.
Therefore, Wei Yan could only watch Tian Gong escape in front of his eyes, his eyes were red: "Old thief Sima, don't go, don't go!"
No matter how affectionately Wei Yan called, Sima Yi ran very fast without looking back, not wanting to stay here for a while.
"Damn it! Chase! Keep chasing!" Wei Yan roared.
But the officer on the side quickly shouted: "General, don't chase after the poor, don't chase after the poor!"
Another officer shouted: "General, the prime minister has an order. If the pursuit fails and Sima Yi cannot be taken down, then you can't pursue again!"
Although Wei Yan took the lead, he had some brains after all. If he pursued again, he would chase Wei Jun to the river. At that time, Sima Yi raised his arms and shouted: "There is no way to retreat! Why don't you lords fight hard!"
Then these thousands of them will be wiped out by the whole army in an instant.
Knowing that he had missed a great opportunity, Wei Yan sighed for a moment.
The officer on the side quickly comforted: "General, if we can successfully prevent the Wei army from returning to aid, it is already a great achievement! Why is this so?"
"Tiangong is right in front of you. If you can capture the old thief Sima alive, you will surely frighten the puppet dynasty. Isn't it a pity?" Wei Yan wiped off the blood on his face and said viciously: "That's all, just spare his life and let him die." Catch him again!"
at the same time.
On the side of the main force of the Shu army, this battle was a complete victory, with countless beheads and more prisoners. Part of the army fled back with Sima Yi, and part of the army scattered and fled.
After all, it is said to be a siege, but it is just to divide the troops into several groups and outflank the key arteries. It is not really [-] people forming a big circle to surround the enemy.
So there are still many Wei Jun panicked, either running towards the mountain or rolling down the mountain. These people have no way to chase them, so they can only let them go.
Sima Yi fled looking forward to the wind and fled all the way to Mazhong Highland, but he still had lingering fears in his heart. He knew that the general situation was over, and with so many people, there was no way to hold this highland.
"Send the message back, we need support!" Sima Yi said quietly.
He seemed to have aged a lot during this journey of escape, and he looked particularly haggard at the moment. After so many years of health preservation, he couldn't hold back the embarrassment at this moment.
This is also why Sima Yi is so afraid of Zhuge Liang, this guy is too scary, he can easily shorten his life!
at the same time.
In the capital city of Shuhan.
Following the news of Zhuge Liang's death, the ruling and opposition parties were filled with grief.
Liu Adou was even more panicked. The father who used to be in charge of everything... died like this?
He sat slumped on the ground, still a little bit unable to believe the news, and was a little lost for a while.
"Your Majesty, my condolences." Jiang Wan, the minister at the side, quickly helped Liu Chan up, "The prime minister is dead, and people cannot be resurrected after death. We should think about the way forward."
"Wuuuuuu, my father-in-law, my father-in-law, why did you..." Liu Chan's sorrow came from his heart, tears couldn't stop falling down, the whole court was full of grief, everyone bowed their heads, The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
"Your Majesty, the prime minister's last order: After my death, the person who can take care of the big things: Jiang Gongyan is appropriate, and please respect the prime minister's last order..." Amidst the grief, someone suddenly spoke.
As soon as this was said, someone asked back: "What do you mean? The prime minister just died, and you can't wait to seize power?"
"No, major national affairs are not trivial. His Majesty needs someone to assist him. This is the prime minister's will. How can this be called seizing power?" The man immediately asked back.
When Zhuge Liang died, in order to continue to safeguard the interests of the Jingzhou Group, the successor was Jiang Wan from the Jingzhou area.
In Shuhan, there are three major interest groups in total.
Yizhou Group, Dongzhou Group and Jingzhou Group.
The representatives of the three major political forces in the later period were Qiao Zhou, Li Yan, and Zhuge Liang.
Before the establishment of Shuhan, the original cake in this area belonged entirely to the Yizhou Group.
Liu Yan, Liu Zhang and his son came to the capital of Shu, and the cake was divided into two parts, Yizhou and Dongzhou.
After Liu Bei entered Shu, the cake was divided into three parts, the Jingzhou Group took the most, the Dongzhou Group was squeezed all the time, and the Yizhou Group became the bottom of the power.
The three forces faced each other tit-for-tat, and the failure of the Shu Han in the Battle of Yiling weakened the three forces. Liu Bei died again, and the last backbone of the three major interest groups was broken.
The so-called Northern Expedition was, on the one hand, to not forget the last wish of the Former Lord, and at the same time to cultivate cohesion.
Second, it can also divert social conflicts, allowing everyone to look outside instead of looking at themselves.
When Zhuge Liang died, the situation that had been barely maintained before collapsed in an instant, and everything was born. Everyone wanted to get more benefits after Zhuge Liang died.
The Jingzhou faction did their part. They wanted to maintain the dominance of the previous Jingzhou faction, so they elected Jiang Wan, who had won the prime minister's will.
Listening to the courtiers' constant quarrel, Liu Chan raised his head and said with some displeasure: "We will discuss this matter later, and we will discuss the prime minister's funeral first!"
As soon as these words came out, the quarreling voices suddenly became less, and everyone was discussing how to hold the prime minister's funeral.
Before Zhuge Liang died, he asked Liu Chan about his burial. His funeral must be simple, requiring four people to carry the coffin for him. He walked all the way south, and he could not be buried at the place where the rope broke until the rope broke by itself.
While everyone was discussing continuously, another messenger suddenly sent the latest news from the front line: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report! The prime minister defeated the Wei army in Wuzhangyuan, beheaded nearly 6 people, captured nearly [-] people, and won a complete victory!! !"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Adou above was stunned for a moment, and he asked blankly: "Prime Minister? Which Prime Minister?"
Hearing this, the messenger in the army was also dumbfounded. He raised his head and asked in a daze: "Your Majesty, do we have a second prime minister?"
"Of course we don't have a second prime minister, but the question is, isn't the prime minister already on his deathbed? Before there was more news that the prime minister had gone west, why can we defeat the Wei army now? A complete victory ?!" Liu Adou asked hastily.
At this moment, all the ministers in the court could not understand at all. They all looked at the messenger in the army with bewildered faces. What does this mean?
The prime minister defeated the Wei army in Wuzhangyuan?
The prime minister is dead, are you ready to retire?
At this time, someone shouted and asked: "The news of the prime minister's death has been sent before, what kind of news is this, what are you talking about?!"
The messenger froze for a moment, and quickly said: "This is the prime minister's trick to cheat Sima Yi. This man is cunning and suspicious by nature. If he can't fool everyone, then he won't be able to fool Sima Yi at all."
"The prime minister said that he had to do a full set of plays, so news came that he had died. As expected, Sima Yi had been tricked and rushed to chase after him. The prime minister expected all of this, surrounded him and killed him, and won a complete victory!"
As soon as these words came out, many ministers in the court looked at each other in blank dismay. No one thought that the news that was passed on before was actually fake news!You must know that even Liu Chan was deceived by this, with a lot of tears and snot, and now he actually tells me that this is a trick to cheat death?
This really played a trick on everyone!
Above, Liu Chan was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then his eyes showed joy: "Okay, okay, okay, great, the prime minister is not dead, this is a trick to cheat death, even I was deceived , let alone that old thief Sima?"
"It's worth celebrating, it's worth celebrating!"
"Break the Wei army, the prime minister is really mighty!"
"Five Northern Expeditions, this is the one we have won the most!"
"When this news spreads to Wu Wei, the world will be shocked! Praise my great man, Tianwei!"
at the same time.
On the Wuzhang Plain, Su Che flipped through the previous military news, and immediately cursed speechlessly: "You are really a moron of the Eastern Wu!"
In the three years of Jiahe, Quan and Shuke have made a big move! ——This is the joint military operation of Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan.
At that time, Zhuge Liang, Prime Minister of Shu, showed his martial arts, and Quan said that Emperor Wei Ming could not go far away-Zhuge Liang attracted firepower, and Sun Quan went to Jianghuai to steal chickens.
And the emperor sent troops to help Sima Xuanwang refuse to be bright, and led the navy to march eastward-Wei Guo chose to let Sima Yi deal with Zhuge Liang, and the emperor Cao Rui dealt with Sun Quan.
Before Shouchun, the right was returned——Sun Quan ran away before Cao Rui arrived.
Previously, it was true that the prime minister was physically weak, but it was the news of Soochow's defeat that really made him sick, and the mental blow accelerated his physical breakdown.
As far as the battle situation in Guanzhong was concerned before, Zhuge Liang gradually gained the upper hand in the battle against Sima Yi.
If Soochow could persevere for a little while, and Sima Yi was defeated at this moment, Wei Guo must be in a difficult situation.
But now, Sun Quan didn't even have the courage to stand in a stalemate with Wei, and ran away before Cao Rui's imperial conquest arrived.
If Sun Quan could restrain Cao Rui, then at this moment Su Che might not be able to drive straight in and take Chang'an!
Perhaps Sun Quan knew this and didn't want Shu Han to benefit, so he just slipped away!
"Forget it. In this way, we can only collect the loot." Su Che narrowed his eyes and looked at the map beside him.
The reason why Sima Yi has never dared to fight the Shu army is because he is afraid of Zhuge Liang on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has no need for it.
Once defeated, it will be difficult to take care of the Chang'an direction, the Yongliang direction and the grain-producing areas. He only needs to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and use the national power and the Shu army to consume it!
In Sima Yi's view, this is a struggle for national strength!Don't be a coward!
However, with the success of this battle, these grain-producing areas are all in Su Che's pocket.
At this time, it is the autumn harvest, which is a good time to harvest.
So Su Che didn't have to worry about feeding the [-] captives.
There is no food, nothing to eat, the enemy produces it for us!
At the moment, Su Che issued an order to bypass the Mazhong Highlands, harvest grain from the production areas in the direction of Chang'an and Yongliang, and then continue to station troops in Wuzhangyuan, and do not continue to attack. They just spend their time here, threatening the important town of Chang'an all the time. place.
Sima Yi stationed troops here before, and the food he planted now belongs to the Shu army.
In order to keep the important town of Chang'an, the Wei State must continue to send troops here, which will continue to consume national power.
When all the grains in the production areas in the direction of Chang'an and Yongliang were harvested by the Shu army, it would be even worse for Wei Guo.
After all the affairs were settled, Su Che summoned all the soldiers in the Wuzhangyuan barracks. Yang Yi, Fei Yi, Wei Yan, and Jiang Wei were at the front, and the other officers were behind.
They didn't know that the Prime Minister Zhuge above had changed.
Su Che looked at a few people, and said slowly: "The Wei army is defeated, and they will definitely retreat to the rear and defend Chang'an to the death. What we need to do now is to garrison the army here... Do you have any objections?"
Hearing this, Wei Yan became impatient.
At the beginning, when he proposed the Meridian Valley conspiracy, the prime minister refused to allow it. He wanted to lead the army alone, but the prime minister also refused. He was naturally unhappy to be suppressed like this.
Wei Yan didn't want to rebel, he just wanted to make contributions, seek an unworldly achievement, and have his own tactical thinking.
Hearing the prime minister's words at this moment, Wei Yan quickly said: "The Wei army was defeated. This is our best chance to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Why don't we continue to attack? Regardless of whether we can take Chang'an or not, at least take down Mei County first!"
Su Che glanced at Wei Yan, and said calmly: "Taking Mei County? And then? Are you waiting to continue fighting with the Wei army? The Wu army has already retreated. If we continue to attack, the Wei army will definitely transfer the main force. .”
"The Northern Expedition has been a great success this time, why bother to proceed rashly?"
"If we wait until the main force of the Wei army arrives, we will continue to attack, and the only way to lose is to lose."
"We have won a complete victory at this moment, and wait until the next Northern Expedition."
In a word, the gap in national strength is too great. Even if you win a complete victory in a short period of time, if you want to swallow the elephant and set the Central Plains in one go, that is simply impossible!
If this deadlock is really so easy to break, then Zhuge Liang will not lose hope and be completely desperate.
Even if they have won a short-term victory now, facing the Wei State, which occupies the Central Plains and holds the general trend of the world, this small defeat is nothing at all.
They can afford to lose!
The Shu Han is different. If the [-] troops return in a big defeat, the Shu Han will be completely gone.
The family background is too thin to afford and cannot gamble.
The defeat of Sima Yi at this moment was purely a surprise, which proved to Wei that the Shu Han was capable of attacking.
Five times of Northern Expeditions, successive years of attack, the whole Wei State has been permeated with the shadow of war for a long time. It is said in history that "Yongliang does not remove its armor, and the Central Plains does not release its saddle".
And the fifth Northern Expedition was a complete victory, which undoubtedly made things worse for Wei Guo.
Su Che can understand Wei Yan's desire to make contributions at this moment.
Wei Yan wanted to say something else, but Su Che raised his hand, and he squinted and said, "I probably already know what you want to say, but we just won a big victory, captured countless food and grass, and [-] soldiers surrendered. Is it an unstable factor, how do you want to attack? Are you crazy, or do you think I am crazy?"
Hearing this, Wei Yan had no choice but to lower his head. He had no way to refute these words. Unless all the [-] surrendered troops were killed, they would be unstable factors, and they would attack Wei with the [-] surrendered troops ?
What's the difference between this and courting death?
Even Wei Yan, who is dedicated to attacking, has to admit that it is indeed difficult to continue attacking now.
"If you don't have a brain, listen to what the prime minister has to say." At this time, Yang Yi sneered beside him.
"What are you, dare to say such a thing?!" Wei Yan was furious when he heard this, and cursed directly.
The conflict between the two has been going on for a long time. The reason for the conflict is not the deep hatred such as the hatred of killing the father and the hatred of taking the wife, but simply a disagreement in personality. There is civil unrest.
Yang Yi often contradicts Wei Yan, and Wei Yan reprimands Yang Yi every time, and even gestures with a knife to kill Yang Yi.
At this moment, Su Che looked at the quarrel between the two, and suddenly felt a little dizzy. Wei Yan was a fierce general, and he could get certain achievements every time he went to war, while Yang Yi dispatched food and grass to manage the logistics in the army, and did it in an orderly manner.
One is external and the other is internal. These two people like to quarrel. Faced with this situation, Zhuge Liang can only play the role of peacemaker, and neither of them wants to give up.
Su Che held his chin, looked at the quarrel between the two, and suddenly said: "At the beginning, Lin Xiangru made great achievements, but Lian Po was very unconvinced. He said to people: "I was born and died, and made many achievements in battle, but Lin Xiangru only relied on three inches. A rotten tongue is the official position above me. If I meet him, I must humiliate him face to face.'”
"When Lin Xiangru heard about it, he was tolerant, and deliberately pretended to be sick at home when he was in court, so as not to cause disputes with Lian Po."
"One day, when Lin Xiangru went out, he saw Lian Po's carriage approaching from a distance. He ordered his servants to turn the carriage around to avoid Lian Po."
"People around him said he was too timid. Lin Xiangru smiled and asked everyone: Which one do you think is better, General Lian or King Qin?"
"Everyone said in unison: Of course King Qin is powerful."
"Lin Xiangru said again: I dare to scold the king of Qin in public in the state of Qin, so how can I be afraid of General Lian? It's just that I thought that the reason why Qiang Qin dared not invade Zhao was because of the two of us. If we fought, the enemy would I'm going to take advantage of the loopholes. I can't forget the safety of the country!"
"These words reached Lian Po's ears, and Lian Po was ashamed, so he went to Lin Xiangru's residence barebacked and carrying thorns on his back."
"Now that the enemy is at hand, if we big men want to recover the Central Plains, we must have a Lian Po and a Lin Xiangru. What's the point of the two of you constantly arguing?"
Logically speaking, after these words, both of them should be ashamed, and then admit their mistakes to each other.
Who knew that after hearing this, the two looked at each other with disdain, and said with a sneer:
"Is he also worthy to be Lin Xiangru?"
"Is he also worthy of being Lian Po?"
Su Che: "..."
He finally knew why Zhuge Liang was not easy to be a peacemaker. Not everyone has the generosity to let go of personal grievances for the sake of the country.
Su Che frowned, and immediately said impatiently: "Okay, okay, shut up!"
As soon as these words came out, both of them lowered their heads. Su Che glanced at Wei Yan: "I can understand your desire to make contributions, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Next time I go out, I will command an army with you!"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Yan was immediately overjoyed, and he said ecstatically, "Thank you, Prime Minister!"
For a long time, Wei Yan was firmly suppressed by Zhuge Liang. He could only be a vanguard, and he had no chance to command an army and make great achievements.
According to historical records: Every time Yan Sui came out, he wanted to invite tens of thousands of soldiers, and he would meet with Liang in Tongguan, just like the story of Han Xin, who was not allowed under the Ming system.Yanchang said that Liang was timid, and lamented that his talents were inexhaustible.
The translation is: During the Northern Expedition, every time Wei Yan went out with Zhuge Liang, he wanted Prime Minister Zhuge to distribute [-] troops to him. The purpose was to lead the troops to attack the enemy from the side of the trail and attack them unprepared, just like Han Xin led the troops to build plank roads and cross Chencang secretly. , Finally joined forces with Zhuge Liang in Tongguan.However, Zhuge Liang refused every time.Wei Yan thought that Prime Minister Zhuge was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and he also lamented that he had no talent and could not display it.
The actual situation is that Zhuge Liang understands that with Wei Yan's reckless character, once he gets in the way, it is easy to cause big troubles.
Like Ziwu Valley's conspiracy, it is purely to take people out to send them off. Of course, it is impossible for such a reckless man to command an army.
But now, Su Che actually agreed to Wei Yan's previous wish. At this moment, Wei Yan's many grievances disappeared, which made him ecstatic.
When the other people heard this, their faces were a little subtle, but this was the prime minister's order, and they didn't say anything.
After dealing with Wei Yan's matter, Su Che continued to order: "Divide tens of thousands of troops, some of them will deliver food, and the captives will go back, and some will continue to station troops again, waiting for the next attack."
"The next time we attack... we will have to change our target."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback for a while, and they didn't realize it for a while. What does it mean to change the target?
Is it to change the direction of attack, or to change the opponent?
Jiang Wei asked curiously: "Prime Minister, I don't understand what you mean..."
"Why don't you understand?" Su Che smiled, and said lightly, "This time they united with Dongwu to attack Wei, they ran so fast, how can they unite again with such idiots?"
"Since this is the case, let's unite with Wei State, attack Wu together, and swallow Wu's land!!"
Hearing these words, all the generals were shocked, raised their heads one after another, and said in astonishment: "Fight Wu?"
Wu Guo has always been one of the allies of the Shu Han, while Wei Guo has been the target of constant attack. This has almost become the basic national policy of the Shu Han, but now, they want to change this basic national policy and turn around to attack allies?
This matter was so sudden and absurd that no one could understand it at all.
Jiang Wei said in astonishment: "Prime Minister, we beat the Wei army just after we defeated them. How can they let go of such a deep hatred and join forces with us to attack Wu?"
Even Wei Yan, who has always been known for his recklessness, was a little panicked at the moment. He quickly said: "Prime Minister, Wu can't be defeated, let alone whether he can succeed. Once Wu is destroyed, we will not be able to survive in the long run!"
The reason is simple. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was said that the world was divided into three parts.
But in fact, Cao Wei occupies two-thirds of the world, and it is still the land of the Central Plains, a prosperous city in the north, with a strong economy, a large population, and a prosperous national power.
And the south is mostly wild land.
The State of Wu has been dealing with Shanyue for a long time, and the Shu Han will also make great efforts to deal with the Nanman.
In the long river of history, only the north has always followed the south to fight, and few people can succeed in the northern expedition.
Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition succeeded. On the one hand, the south has almost developed, and on the other hand, the Yuan Dynasty has completely decayed.
In the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei was stable internally and occupied all the fertile land in the world. It was only a matter of time before such a terrifying existence unified the world.
It is precisely because he understands this that Zhuge Liang's strategy has always been to unite with Wu and attack Wei, constantly consuming Wei's national power.
It's a pity that Wu Guo's teammate is not good at all.
And Su Che dared to say that, he was not aimless, he laughed: "Before we were not qualified to join forces with Wei State to attack Wu State, but now it is different. We just fought a beautiful battle, which proves our strength. Here, constantly consuming the national power of Wei State, this is tantamount to a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh."
"They are more eager than anyone else for us to withdraw from the army, so they will definitely agree to our joint request!"
"As for the destruction of the land of Wu, we will be unable to support ourselves alone. Don't worry about this issue. How is the current situation different from that of a single tree?"
"We need to take a longer-term view and have a strategic vision!"
Su Che directly waved his hand and said, "I've come to a conclusion on this matter, so there's no need to argue any more!"
As soon as these words came out, the generals could only look at each other in blank dismay, unable to say anything else.
Zhuge Liang was no different from the real emperor in Shu Han.
During Liu Bei's period, Zhuge Liang had already started to manage the three counties, and managed all the affairs of the General Zuo's mansion. When Liu Bei went out, he directly reviewed the memorials and mobilized the army on Liu Bei's behalf.
After Liu Bei died, Zhuge Liang's positions were: Prime Minister, Lu Shang Shushi, Kaifu, Sili Xiaowei, and Yizhou Mu.
Cao Cao's previous positions were Prime Minister, Lu Shang Shushi, Kaifu, Sili Xiaowei, and Yuzhou Mu.
To some extent, if Zhuge Liang really wanted to replace him, it would not be a problem at all.
Since Su Che decided to unite with Wei to attack Wu, they couldn't stop it.
It was only now that they realized that the prime minister summoned his group over, not to discuss this matter with them, but just to inform them! !
soon.
The Shu army returned after a big victory, and the troops returned to the court. Su Che left Jiang Wei and Wei Yan at Wuzhangyuan, and at the same time sent a signal of friendly talks to the Wei army. Not surprisingly, the day of the peace talks is just around the corner.
at the same time.
As the Shu army defeated the Wei army, the world was shaken for a while, and Sima Yi also fell from the altar. He obviously only needs to be a turtle with a shy head and endure all the time to win the war by virtue of his national strength.
What you need to know is that the Shu army fought thousands of miles across the line, no matter how strong the national power was, it would be difficult for the Wei army to survive. For the Wei army, persistence is victory.
But Zhuge Liang's feigned death successfully deceived Sima Yi. In addition, he mobilized his troops like a god and instructed him like an arm. He successfully let Sima Yi go, annihilated the main force of the Wei army, and captured countless prisoners.
Feigning death is actually not the key, nor is it the key to successfully deceiving Sima Yi. The key is to deploy troops like gods, spread a big net, and forcefully swallow Sima Yi. This is the key of the key.
The departure of several teams depends on the precise calculation of the commander.
This kind of ability to dispatch troops is very terrifying. Since ancient times, all generals who can do this are god-like generals without exception. Han Xin can do it, and Bai Qi can do it. Before Zhuge Liang, obviously Can't do that.
Even Su Che is just imitating the cat and painting the tiger, reluctantly enacting a wave. The risk in this is very high. Once the Wei army's resistance is stronger, and once Sima Yi succeeds in returning to the rescue, it will be a failure.
Although it worked.
But there is no doubt that this is a very bold military action.
After this battle, people all over the world were amazed at Zhuge Liang's mobilization of troops like a god, and successfully defeated Sima Yi by feigning death.
And only the generals who really know how to do it, after learning about the specific actions, deduced it in person, one by one, the scalps were numb, and the several troops were exactly the same, and they appeared in key positions every time, and successfully completed this time. Siege.
As long as there is a problem in one of the links, it will fall short and lose everything!
The military operation this time is really too courageous!
In fact, even Sima Yi himself was very puzzled. When he was resuming the game after the war, he couldn't believe that this was a decision Zhuge Kongming could make.
This tm is Zhuge Kongming's style?
It's not like that at all!
It's not like the strategies and commands that Zhuge Kongming can make...
Sima Yi is very confident, no one knows Zhuge Liang better than him!
It was precisely because he knew better than anyone else that he was so confused. Others were amazed at Zhuge Liang's ability to mobilize troops like a god, but Sima Yi felt that Zhuge Liang seemed to be a different person!
This is Zhuge Kongming?
This is not Zhuge Kongming at all!
At this moment, Sima Yi had a very terrifying thought, that is: Is there a possibility that Zhuge Liang is dead, and he came back to life with a different person?
This thought flashed by, Sima Yi quickly shook his head, impossible, absolutely impossible.
But when this thought appeared, it was like a nightmare, constantly haunting Sima Yi's heart, and he couldn't get rid of it. If it wasn't like this, then what was the reason?
After that, wait for the friendly signal released by the Shu army, intending to unite with them to defeat Wu, which can be used as a condition for retreating.
Upon hearing this news, Sima Yi's eyes widened even more, and he said emotionally: "Impossible! Zhuge Kongming will never give up attacking us, and choose to cooperate with us to attack Wu Kingdom together!"
"He is not Zhuge Kongming!"
"He is definitely not Zhuge Kongming!"
"Who the hell is he?!"
Sima Yi quickly reported the news, Zhuge Kongming may have changed, this person is definitely not the old Zhuge Kongming!
But there is no doubt that this news was directly suppressed. Even the emperor Cao Rui thought that Sima Yi was insane because of this big defeat, and even said such words...
Cao Rui first comforted Sima Yi, telling him to take a good rest, don't take this defeat to heart, rest and recuperate first!
Cao Rui will not refuse Shu Han's cooperation!
The continuous Northern Expedition of the State of Shu has indeed caused a lot of trouble for the State of Wei. If they are willing to stop the attack and instead cooperate to attack the State of Wu, this will be beneficial to the State of Wei without any disadvantages.
After the Wu crusade is over, even if the Shu Kingdom occupies some Wu land, it will not be a climate, it is nothing at all, and it will be easily destroyed in the future!
Cao Rui is not afraid of raising tigers at all. Neither the Eastern Wu nor the Shu Kingdom can sustain the weather, because they are united together, which makes him very headache. If they can disintegrate their alliance, it would be better to destroy one of them first. but.
Shu is easy to defend but difficult to attack, while Soochow relies on the natural danger of the Yangtze River. If you attack one of them, you will inevitably be attacked by the other.
But now, the Shu Han released a friendly signal, and Cao Rui naturally readily agreed.
The previous defeats, many losses, and the loss of national power are nothing. For the sake of the overall situation, these can all be compromised and tolerated.
Cao Cao was able to let go of his blood feud at the beginning, accepted Zhang Xiu's surrender again, and gave high-ranking officials a generous salary and treated him with trust.
It's nothing for him to give up this little hatred now.
However, if you want to form an alliance, Cao Rui also began to bargain, hoping that the Shu Han would release the previous Wei army prisoners. If there is no sincerity at all, then who believes that their alliance is serious?
Facing Cao Rui's conditions, Su Che naturally couldn't accept all of them. He replied to Cao Rui: It is of course possible to return the captives, but this matter must be done after the defeat of Wu, and it will not be too late to return the captives of Wei State.
In addition, as a condition, Dahan and Wei have to resume trade, so that the two places can once again enter a period of peaceful coexistence.
Cao Rui didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be so thick-skinned. Not only did he not return the captives, but he also beat them back and demanded that the two places continue to trade!
And he calls himself a big man...
How dare you?
A land of one state dares to call itself a big man!
Well, Cao Rui endured these things. Politics is an art of compromise. Now it is not the Shu Han begging Wei Guo to defeat Wu, but releasing this friendly signal.
If the State of Wei disagreed, then the Shu Han stationed in Wuzhangyuan was no joke. They would continue to exert pressure and continue the Northern Expedition, consuming the national power of the State of Wei.
Cao Rui could only pinch his nose, agreed to Zhuge Liang's many requests, and resumed the trade between the two places, but for Wu Guo to take action, this matter has to be discussed in the long run.
As the two countries Shu Han and Wei Guo flirted with each other, Wu Guo noticed something was wrong.
Although Sun Quan didn't know what was going on between Shu Han and Wei, but just after a war, the two places resumed trade. This incident itself is very unusual. What kind of signal does this send?
Not right, very wrong!
Could it be that Shuhan, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is going to vote for Wei?
Impossible, they have just won a big victory, and the whole country of Wei is terrified, so there is no reason to vote for Wei.
The only explanation should be to use those captives to reach an agreement with Wei?
But that's not right either...
Why is it?
For a while, the mountain rain was about to come.
Sun Quan has always had some ominous premonition recently, he can't even sleep well, and he always has nightmares, which makes him very irritable.
at the same time.
When Su Che returned to the capital of Shu Han, he did two things successively.
A small thing, a big thing.
He first modified the spinning wheel and created a pedal spinning wheel that could spin three yarns, which was faster and more efficient than the one-spindle handwheel used before.
This has increased the efficiency of weaving Shu brocade several times.
Logically speaking, this is not a trivial matter.
But compared with the second matter, it is indeed a trivial matter.
He ordered that one billion copper coins be melted, and all of them were made up to one hundred and five baht!
One hundred coins is one hundred coins.
The source of these copper coins is the wealth obtained from Wei and Wu through Zhibaiqian.
According to historical records, during the Northern Expedition, Wei Guo even started to barter for things because he had no money.
Although the state of Wei is powerful, they don't have that much currency in circulation, such as "money". This also creates an illusion that Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and Wei State will soon be unable to persist.
At this moment, Su Che melted one billion copper coins and made all of them a hundred coins, just to harvest a wave of leeks from Wei and Wu.
There is actually a big problem with doing this.
One billion copper coins can produce at least [-] million straight hundred and five baht.
That is 500 billion dollars!
It is impossible to expand so many times in an instant without major problems.
If the money was digested by the Shu Han, the national power of the Shu Han would be drained in minutes.
So it must be passed on to Wu and Wei.
But the problem is, this is 500 billion. Naturally, Wei Guo and Wu Guo won't be harvested by you so foolishly!
Therefore, regarding the prime minister's decision, all the officials of the Shu Han were shocked by this crazy behavior.
One by one, they persuaded each other.
However, they were all rejected by Su Che, he insisted on going his own way!
Since Shu brocade's natural advantages are here, he naturally wants to make good use of it. After those days of research, he found a way to break this deadly situation!
Since Wei cannot be defeated by means of war, then there is no need to use war!
Victory with culture!Use the economy to win!
Another way to get the final victory!
in history.
The deeper reason for Zhuge Liang's defeat in the first battle lies in his mistakes in strategic guiding ideology.
He put too much emphasis on the means of war, took the initiative to attack, and resorted to militarism, and lacked an understanding of the role of social, political, economic, and cultural factors in calming the world.
This deep reason not only determined the failure of Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, but also determined the failure of his entire Northern Expedition!
That being the case, Su Che naturally had to make another decision. Even if he defeated the Wei army, he did not continue to attack, trying to get more land.
It is impossible to get those lands for a long time. Rather than not wanting them directly, what kind of sincerity can we talk about, unite Wei State to attack Wu State, and then carry out financial harvest from the two countries!
Time passes day by day.
With the large-scale dumping of Shu brocade, the market gradually became saturated.
In short, it just won't sell.
The sales volume of Shu Brocade is just that.
Only high-ranking officials and aristocratic families can buy Shu brocade. Poor people can't afford this expensive item, so sales have been limited.
But the 500 billion worth of [-] coins produced before has not been digested yet, not even one percent has been digested!
Wu Guo and Wei Guo are not fools, if they asked you to cut some leeks, how could they let you cut all the leeks?
In fact, this number is already very remarkable, [-] million yuan in a short period of time!
but the problem...
This is a drop in the bucket for the more than 490 billion yuan!
If the more than 400 billion yuan is not passed on, then the land of Shuhan will probably go through inflation dozens of times, and the people will live in dire straits and complaints will abound!
This situation worried all the ministers of the Shu Han court, and they didn't know what to do.
But Su Che gave a solution——
Can't sell anymore?
It's easy to solve.
Price increase!
It can be sold at a price increase!
As soon as these words came out, the ministers of Shu Han were dumbfounded.
Jiang Wan and Fei Yi were all dumbfounded! !
Originally, Shu brocade was widely praised because of its low price and good quality.
It can’t be sold now, but if the price rises, can it be sold?
How can you do this in business? ? !
The prime minister is not crazy, is he? !
