Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 303 Wu Shu Alliance (4)
"Father... In my opinion, you don't have to be so stubborn this time." At this time, Sima Zhao put down his pen on the side case, plucked up the courage to interject, and said, "You might as well write an eighth letter immediately." Bailijia hurriedly sent a secret letter to Sun Zi and Liu Fang of Zhongshu Province, asking them to persuade His Majesty to send an imperial decree, saying: We are required to stick to the Guanzhong Pass and not give Zhuge Liang any opportunity to take advantage of it. 'Braking still, gaining momentum', just like last time, dragged the Shu bandits back without food..."

"The second son is so smart! This strategy of 'leveraging your strength to relieve your strength' is really ingenious! General, you can use this imperial decree as your 'shield' in front of the Guanzhong army, and take advantage of all the generals who are eager to fight. Vent your grievances..." Zhao Yan praised deeply, and couldn't help giving Sima Zhao a thumbs up, "High! High! Second Young Master, your plan is really clever!"

"Small plan, what's the point of praise? Master Zhao, don't praise him badly." Sima Yi squinted at Sima Zhao with half anger and half joy, and stroked his beard, "Zi Shang (Sima Zhao's word is "Zi") Go up"), Junshi Zhao is the only surviving old minister in our Great Wei Army. He has rich experience and sufficient experience. You will have to ask him a lot of advice in the future! Your superficial views will only make you laugh!"

When Sima Zhao heard this, he hastily lowered his hands: "Father commander is right. My son is willing to worship Zhao Junshi as his teacher, and earnestly study the way of governing the army and defending against the enemy."

Zhao Yan was so flustered that he waved his hands again and again: "Zhao's talent, how can he be a teacher? Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Before he finished speaking, Sima Zhao fell on the floor and kowtowed to him nine times. a bang.Zhao Yan couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.

Let's get back to the topic again.Sima Yi restrained his face and said solemnly: "Forget it, I will follow what my son said, and write a secret letter like that to Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Liu later! Now, this commander can only be 'defense-oriented, Brake with stillness, gather momentum, and wait for the opportunity to move'—and then 'follow the order', I believe that even if those warlike generals are full of resentment, it will not damage my commander's rules!"

Zhao Yan nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "General, since you have decided to 'take defense as the foundation and stop with silence', should my Guanzhong army guard the north bank of the Weihe River or the south bank of the Weihe River? According to Zhao, if If we really want to keep it safe, we should retreat to the north bank of the Weihe River and guard across the water, it should be safer..."

"Retreating to the north bank of the Weihe River to guard is a safe strategy, but it is too passive. There are skills in guarding." Sima Yi stroked his long black beard under his jaw and said deeply, "The people on the south bank of the Weishui River The area to the east is the hinterland of our Guanzhong Mintun. It is really a big invisible "granary". How can it be easily handed over to Zhuge Liang? After Zhuge Liang got this large fertile field, if he continues to advance eastward to Wugong Mountain, it will be too bad ? We can only block Zhuge Liang's eastward advance by guarding the south bank of the Weihe River..."

Zhao Yan still had a look of worry hanging between his eyebrows: "However, building a camp against the water on the south bank of the Weihe River is almost a 'half defense, half attack' situation. At that time, our army will still have to confront the Shu army... ..."

Sima Yi looked at Zhao Yan with serious eyes: "This commander implements the strategy of 'defense with attack, bend with stretch', rather than a simple retreat and defense strategy. No matter how sophisticated the equipment of the Shu army, no matter how good the troops Be strong, and there will be a time when morale will slack—at that time, our Guanzhong army can launch an attack nearby, so as not to miss the opportunity of the battle!"

After Zhao Yan listened carefully, he pondered for a long time before nodding his head and said: "The general's heart is still the strategy of 'strike later'. He really is indomitable and tenacious!"

"Mr. Zhao's absurd praise!" Sima Yi said humbly, and then he said in a deep voice, "After we guard the south bank of the Weihe River, there are only two ways for Zhuge Liang to invade Guanxi: one is to advance westward and seize coolness. The second is to cross the river to the north and seize Mei County. To the west, he must pass through the Chencang Fortress; to the north, he must occupy the mouth of the Weihe River. These two critical throats, we must send intelligent and capable personnel The general went to garrison..."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan nodded and said, "What the general said is true. First, let's talk about the Chencang Fortress——Zhao thought that General Deng Ai was good at fighting and Shen Yong had a strategy, so he could send him to lead [-] troops to sneak into the fort. Go to Chen Cang, and guard the 'West Gate' for my Guanzhong army!"

"Yes." Sima Yi nodded and answered.

"Only the mouth of the Weihe River..." Zhao Yan hesitated, hesitant to speak, "It's hard to decide who will be the guard..."

"Guo Huai Mujun is competent." Sima Yi said bluntly, "I can assign him 3 horses to retreat to the mouth of the Weibei River and stop the Shu invaders from crossing the river to the north!"

Zhao Yan's eyes flashed: "Then, General..."

"The commander-in-chief personally led an [-]-strong army to station on the south bank of the Weihe River, and monitor Zhuge Liang at any time!" Sima Yi replied crisply.

At this time, Zhao Yan's expression became a little complicated, and he said in a muttered voice: "General, please listen to Zhao's heart, in order to protect your innocence, you might as well change places with Guo Mujun—you go and sit in the Weihe River." Wouldn't it be better for Guo Mujun to guard the north bank of the Weihe River?"

Sima Zhao also persuaded from the side: "Father Commander, what Master Zhao said is true. You have a stake in the safety and survival of the three armies in Guanzhong, so you really don't have to go to the danger yourself!"

"Thank you, Commander Zhao, for your concern." Sima Yi looked at Zhao Yan and Sima Zhao with bright eyes, waved his hands, and said, "That's all! That's all! Zhuge Liang is resourceful and well-armed, he is really my master." Wei's number one rival! Although Guo Mujun has both intelligence and intelligence, he is by no means equal! The commander-in-chief always seems a little worried when he sends someone else to deal with him! Sigh... for a world-class rival like Zhuge Liang, I should let the commander in person to fight against him! Let's block it for the sake of you..."

Worry about Wei Shi
"The Xuanchuan River in Zhangye County is overflowing, the shock waves are surging, the gemstone is negative, and it looks like a turtle. , It is bright and bright. It can be said that the god-given mysterious stone is a great treasure in our great Wei. There is not enough captives to worry about!" Zhongshu ordered Sun Zi to read the imperial edict, and with one move of his right hand, the ten tiger warriors on the side hall of the palace tore off the layer of green felt, and the eye-catching "Spirit Turtle Profound Stone" appeared It appeared before the eyes of the ministers.

After Zhou Xuancai came to Liangzhou to fill the "Xuanyin Soil" in Kunlun Mountains, the natural inscription on the back of the "Spiritual Turtle Xuanshi" was finally changed to "Heaven's destiny has revolution, great plan Cao Yan; the golden horse was born, and the hoof soared to the clouds; Great auspiciousness brings prosperity, and Dianwu changes"!And Cao Rui, who had already visited the capital Xuchang in person to "encourage" the southeast king's division to supervise the battle, in order to use the spirit stone from the sky to show the great fortune of the Wei Dynasty, he sent an edict to Sun Zi and Liu Fang who stayed behind to send the "spiritual turtle black stone" "Open the exhibition in public, hoping to use it to appease people's hearts.

Facing a row of ministers and bureaucrats who came to visit, Sun Zi pointed to the handwriting on the stone back with a jade ruler and introduced: "Masters, please look at the words 'Dianwu Zechang'. The Taishi of Zhou has already analyzed it. In May and June of this year, our Great Wei will surely attack from behind, causing the Shu bandits and Wu Lu to suffer severe losses..."

At this time, He Yan, the servant of Huangmen, who lived in the third rank of the official residence, slowly came up.He Yan was the adopted son of Emperor Taizu Wu Emperor Cao Cao, and married Cao Cao's daughter Princess Jinxiang as his wife.In terms of this personal connection, he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor of the Wei Dynasty.But during the period of Emperor Wen Cao Pi, Cao Pi hated him for being close to Cao Zhi, the king of Dong'e, and deliberately suppressed him all the time, preventing him from having any chance to stand out in the political circle.Until Ming Emperor Cao Rui ascended the throne, in order to show his grace and magnanimity, Cao Rui reluctantly conferred on his uncle the position of servant of the Huangmen, which was purely of a helper nature.

When he was young, He Yan liked to imitate the great man's respect for Marquis Xunyu, and he especially liked to smoke his clothes with various strange fragrances - at this moment, he is slowly stepping forward and the breeze is blowing, his whole body is like a jade tree facing the wind, looking forward to the fragrance and seductively.

"He Shilang..." Sun Zi greeted He Yan with a smile when he saw He Yan approaching.

He Yan also gave him a slight smile, and then fixed his eyes on the 'Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone'.For some reason, he always felt that the texture and color of this mysterious stone seemed familiar... With a thought in his mind, he couldn't help but reached out and grabbed the leopard-print jade pendant on his waist, and slowly held it on his palm. Take a look—it is also a round jade pendant as bright as lacquer, with a pattern of green bamboo leaves on it, and its shape is like a long and thin chi leopard.

His jade pendant was carved from "Plum Blossom Spotted Jade" from Runan County, Yuzhou.He Yan secretly compared it with the "Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone", and found that the texture of these two kinds of jade is black and bright, and there seems to be no big difference except for the pattern veins on the surface.Could it be that this "Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone" was formed from the "Plum Blossom Spotted Jade" from Runan County?This idea suddenly popped up in He Yan's mind, which almost shocked him: How is this possible?According to the edict, the "Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone" was obviously produced in Liugu, Zhangye County, Liangzhou, a remote place!How could it have something to do with the "Plum Blossom Spotted Jade" in Runan County?However, its texture is so similar to "Plum Blossom Spotted Jade", which is too strange...

The thoughts in He Yan's chest were so turbulent, but he still didn't dare to vent his doubts - His Majesty has publicly declared that this stone is "the life of Wei Zhizhen, the treasure of the Eastern Order", obviously to promote the prestige of the country In the heyday and the country's welfare is far away, how dare I raise such objections at this time?As soon as he thought of this, He Yan sighed secretly, closed his mouth, and said no more.In fact, he also believed that among the gentlemen present at the scene, there must have been many people who saw the strangeness of the texture of the "Spiritual Turtle Black Stone", but they might not be willing to do so out of this "avoidance" mentality. Good voice to question.

On the far side of his right hand, Wang Su and Huang Menling He Zeng, who were standing on horseback on horseback, were whispering to each other there.

He Zeng said quietly to Wang Su: "My lord, He once heard such a rumor in private that the natural inscription on the 'Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone' was not what we saw today... There seems to be some The handwriting was secretly tampered with..."

"Yes! Yes!" Wang Su looked up and looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he stretched his head and whispered in He Zeng's ear, "Isn't that picture of the mysterious stone spreading everywhere outside?" Rubbings? That's a little difference', but the good and bad omen of this 'Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone' is totally irrelevant..."

"Master Wang, how do you see this matter?" He Zeng also asked in a low voice.

Wang Su looked away, but said in his mouth: "You stretch out your hand!"

He Zeng stretched out his palm and handed it over—Wang Su grabbed it with his left hand, pulled it into his sleeve, and slowly wrote on his palm with the middle finger of his right hand: "The God of the Husband Knows Come, don't follow the past, Zhenxiang sees it first and then abandons it and follows it. The Han Dynasty has been dead for a long time, and Wei has already obtained it, so where should we pursue Zhengxiang? This stone is the variation of today and the future of Zhenrui."

After He Zeng finished distinguishing these handwritings, his face tightened suddenly: "Master Wang's words are too mysterious...Wan Wang will make it clear again."
