Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 284 is just the beginning

Cao Cao ordered Ma Chao and Han Sui to go to Hanzhong, and he sharpened his sword and tried to go south. Liu Zhang asked Liu Bei for help, and Liu Bei sent generals Zhang Fei and Lu Yi to Shu to drive out Ma and Han.

For a time, the storm was turbulent in Guanzhong, and all the forces in the world were involved.The Jiangbei area, which attracted little attention, became quiet and no longer attracted so much attention.

This was fine. For Huo Jun, who moved to the north of the Yangtze River, he needed to explore the terrain hundreds of miles between the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River, and he needed to strengthen the training of his sergeants.

Ruxukou, Dongguan City.

In the military tent, there was a young general dressed like a soldier, with a short beard and a handsome face, exuding a heroic spirit.Although he is only in his thirties, he has a formidable aura that makes people dare not look directly at him.

"Your Majesty, my lord has ordered me to send you five horses and a hundred pieces of Shu brocade to reward you for your hard work in the north of the Yangtze River."

Ma Su, who was extremely confident, presented the letter and said: "This is the letter from the Lord. Please check it."

Liu Bei was sitting on Wu Chu, knowing that his foundation was unstable, so he took advantage of the convenience of the Wu Chu waterway to set up water stations between the water systems to strengthen his control over Wu Chu counties.These water stations are specially responsible for delivering official documents or sending items.

In the past, when Liu Bei sent items to Huo Jun, most of them were sent by water post.Now that Ma Su is sending off with gifts, he must have important inquiries or military mission arrangements.

After removing the ink pad, Huo Jun asked: "Youchang, is there anything important happening in Wuhan?"

Ma Su collected his thoughts and said: "I am reporting to you, Han Sui and Ma Chao, who are leading their troops to march south to Hanzhong. Liu Yizhou is afraid that the horses and Han will get the supplies from Hanzhong, so they are going south. Please send Zhang Song as envoy, my lord, and ask for the help of my Wu Chu soldiers and horses."

"My lord sent General Yide as the commander-in-chief, General Boyan as the deputy general, and Mr. Shiyuan as the military adviser. He will supervise [-] troops into Shu and march north to Hanzhong. Along the way, Yizhou will provide military supplies and reinforce troops."

After a pause, Ma Su continued: "My lord sent Mr. Gongyou (Sun Qian) as an envoy to Shu, to reiterate the good relationship between the two families and to express their official positions to each other. My lord sent Liu Yizhou to be the general of Zhenxi and Yizhou's pastor; Liu Yizhou recommended my lord. Become the Grand Sima and lead the Sili Xiaowei."

Cao Cao dismissed Liu Zhang from the post of Yizhou Mu, and Liu Bei named Liu Zhang the General of Zhenxi and Yizhou Mu. He was clearly going against Cao Cao and giving Liu Zhang a platform to show his support for him.

Huo Jun couldn't help but smile when he read the contents of the letter and listened to Ma Di's story.

Zhang Lu was really lucky. Five princes, big and small, Liu Zhang, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Han Sui, and Ma Chao were all eyeing him.Ma Chao and Han Sui attacked Hanzhong from the north, while Zhang Fei and Lu Yi attacked Hanzhong from the south.I am afraid that this kind of treatment is not available to ordinary people. I am so blessed.

Huo Jun looked up at the young Ma Su and asked thoughtfully: "You often think you are going to Shu this time, what do you think?"

Ma Su pondered for a while and said: "Bashu, above Wu and Chu, in the upper reaches of the river, if we can capture Bashu, our lord will be able to achieve hegemony. However, I am only worried about Han and Ma. If General Zhang can break them, he will advance to Hanzhong. There is also Zhang Song, who is an internal supporter. , my lord, with his troops marching westward, it will be easy to capture Bashu."

Ma Su was recommended by Zhuge Liang to the Chariot and Cavalry General's Palace, and Liu Bei worshiped Ma Di as a chariot general and allowed him to hone his skills.However, Zhuge Liang valued Ma Su very much and often asked Ma Su to run errands for the envoy and communicate with the governor and Wuhan.

After looking at it for a few times, Huo Jun nodded. No wonder Ma Di was so respected by Zhuge Liang. He was quite knowledgeable in some matters.

"Youchang, please wait and wait for someone to reply to my lord."

Huo Jun put the letter aside and started writing.

Liu Bei's letter tells the details of entering Shu.He also mentioned the news that Cao Cao might go south. For now, the priority is to enter Shu and resist Cao Cao's southward movement.Let Huo Jun be careful in Jiangbei and slowly enter Hefei.

It must be said that Huo Jun was brave. He was granted the title of governor of Xuzhou and moved to Jianghuai.After settling his family in Wancheng, he directly led ten thousand soldiers to garrison at Ruxukou, using Dongguan as the administrative seat of Xuzhou.Less than a hundred miles away from Dongguan is Hefei City.

After writing the letter, Huo Jun stamped it with clay and handed it to Ma Su. He said politely: "I have been working hard since I was young, so I can rest a little before rushing to Wuhan."

"Thank you very much, envoy, for staying in Dongguan for two days." Ma Di thanked him and said,
When Ma Su left the tent, Jiang Ji looked at his back and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, you should advise your lord that young horses should not be reused. If you use them, they will cause great harm!"

"Ok?"

Huo Jun was very surprised. Could it be that Jiang Ji was also a time traveler and knew about the defeat of Ma Su Street Pavilion.

As if seeing Huo Jun's surprise, Jiang Ji explained: "Ma Youchang, as the Lord's messenger, has already sent you a letter, but he was not impatient and followed the Lord's words and stayed for two full days. However, little did he know that the military situation was like a fire and the messenger was rushing around. Don't rest. Ma Youchang has the important post of messenger, how dare he slack off?"

"But that letter is not an urgent matter!" Huo Jun said disapprovingly, but his words stopped abruptly.He is a believer, so he naturally knows the emergency situation of this matter, but Ma Su does not know!
"How do you think you are so talented?" Huo Jun asked thoughtfully.

Jiang Ji stroked his beard and frowned and said: "Ji has no close friendship with Youchang. Judging from his words, he could be a planner or a local county official. But if your temperament does not change, you should be careful when leading troops to fight. Use it.”

Huo Jun pursed his lips and said thoughtfully, "I think your lord may be able to figure out what happened to Ma Youchang. You can talk to Kong Ming when you have free time in the future."

Jiang Ji reminded: "Your Majesty, just click on it."

"Ok!"

The incident with Ma Su was quickly overturned. When Jiang Ji saw Liu Bei coming with a letter, he asked, "May I ask the envoy, what is the content of the letter from my lord?"

In response to Jiang Ji's inquiry, Huo Jun told all the details before and after General Huo Jun entered Shu, and said with emotion: "My lord sent General Zhang to Shu to capture Ma Chao, and also planned to capture Hanzhong to take Bashu from the west. Ma Chao was not a kind person, but he didn't know it. Can Yide defeat him?"

Jiang Ji stroked his beard and said: "The vastness of Bashu and the bravery of the generals in Guanxi cannot be easily defeated by General Yide. As Ji expected, the two thieves, Ma and Han, went south to Hanzhong, mostly at Cao Cao's instigation. If It is unknown if the war situation changes and Cao Cao takes the opportunity to pacify Guanlong and march south to Hanzhong."

After a pause, Jiang Ji said: "General Yide is probably the vanguard. When the time comes to capture Shu, the lord will send his army to the west."

Huo Jun got up from the couch and speculated: "Zitong was thinking the same thing as Jun. The battle between Bashu and Bashu is by no means that simple. Perhaps Ma and Hannan's expedition to Hanzhong and General Yide's entry into Sichuan are just the beginning!"

The current situation is different from the original history.With his help, Liu Bei captured Wu Chu, and Jiaozhou also surrendered to Liu Bei.With such a huge force and the disastrous defeat of Chrysostom, how could Cao Cao dare to despise the south.

No matter what means were used to get Ma Chao and Han Sui to go south, Huo Jun believed that Cao Cao's plan would definitely not be that simple, and his goal must be huge.

After all, Cao Cao would not sit back and let Liu Bei easily get Bashu, and Liu Bei would not give up Bashu.Ma Chao, Liu Zhang, and Zhang Lu may become victims of this war, and no one can stay out of it.

"General Yide's army is in dire straits, as are Shijun and General Guan. Why doesn't my lord send Shijun or General Guan to Shu?" Ding Feng asked puzzledly.

Huo Jun smiled and explained: "The reputations of General Guan and I are known all over the world. If we enter Shu, wouldn't the Shu people be afraid? General Yide is brave and brave, and Boyan has military strategy. If we work together, we should be able to We learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses, it's really a good match."

As he spoke, Huo Jun looked at Hefei City on the map and asked, "Is there any movement in Hefei City today?"

Ding Feng reported: "Since the emperor moved to the north of Zhenjiang, Cao Cao has sent General Zhu Guang to reinforce him, and he has gained [-] more elite soldiers. At that time, Hefei City was guarded by three generals: Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Zhu Guang. There were [-] soldiers and horses in the city, all of whom were elite, with bows and bows. The crossbows are ready and the city is strong. Zhang Liao also set up a steep fortress outside the city, hoping to use the power of the horns."

Zhu Guang, a trusted general under Cao Cao, was fair, gentle in speech, and able to stand alone.Today's reinforcements are sent south, firstly to reconcile the contradiction between Zhang Liao and Li Dian, and secondly to increase the defense of Hefei City.

"Eight thousand soldiers and horses, three generals Zhang Liao, Li Dian and Zhu Guang guarded the city. At that time, there were also generals Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wu Dun and other generals in Jianghuai, with [-] to [-] soldiers and horses. Shouchun and Zhongli had no less than [-] troops stationed."

Huo Jun thought about the distribution of Cao's troops and said helplessly: "Cao Cao really thinks highly of me!"

"It is normal for the general to be famous all over the world and for the world to be afraid of him. Cao Cao is on deep alert. Hefei should not rush into it. He should observe the situation and look for opportunities to defeat him." Jiang Ji suggested.

Huo Jun only had 1 men at his disposal. Adding the troops of Danyang and Poyang counties, the number was only over 2.It would be too difficult for Huo Jun to attack Hefei with more than 2 people.After all, it is easy to deal with eight thousand Hefei troops alone, but subsequent reinforcements are the key.

Moreover, the Danyang governor arranged by Liu Bei is still Mi Fang. With such a teammate and such an opponent, Huo Jun wants to break through Hefei. If he doesn't find a good time, it will be difficult.

"Not urgent!"

Huo Jun stood with his sword in hand and said calmly: "Wait for the opportunity, watch Cao Cao's movements, and then discuss the advance."

"promise!"
