Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1633 Beautiful woman and good story

  Those who do something on the spur of the moment are often reckless, and most people will make a decision after weighing the pros and cons of something.

...

In fact, up to now, the entire Jingxiang gentry system has been roughly divided into three factions. One is headed by the Cai family, or the pro-Liu faction. Of course, the word "pro" is naturally debatable; The one headed by Huang has a closer relationship with Fei Qian; the remaining faction is the neutral faction headed by Pang Zi. Of course, this neutral faction actually has some limitations.

Pang Tong has already served under Fei Qian, but Pang Tong is a follower. Although he is talented and has the name of the so-called young phoenix, he belongs to the branch after all. Second, Pang Shanmin also came to Wancheng to take over the order of Wancheng. The city is more or less a neutral zone, and more or less belongs to the imperial court, and does not clearly belong to which faction. Therefore, although Pang's attitude is somewhat ambiguous, he is still generally considered neutral.

  In the pro-Liu faction, there are many interests fighting each other, and in the pro-Fei faction, there are also some, but it is not as obvious as under Liu Biao. For example, the Ma family thinks their son is good, especially Ma Liang...

  But Huang Chengyan thought that although Ma Liang was smart, he was younger than Zhuge, and Zhuge hadn't formally entered an official position yet. What's the hurry for that kid from the Ma family?

  So when Zhuge said he didn't want to go to Guanzhong, Huang Chengyan was naturally a little surprised. Look, this radish pit is big and round, and it’s all prepared for you, and then you can’t say you’re going to squat... Probably that’s how it feels...

  But Zhuge Liang has his own ideas.

   "...my brother intends to go to Guanzhong..." Zhuge Liang saw that Huang Chengyan was puzzled, and also understood Huang Chengyan's meaning, so he explained in a soft voice.

   "Huh?" Huang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, "Oh... so..."

A person like Huang Chengyan who only has one egg naturally doesn’t care about this basket or that basket, it belongs to the type of buying and leaving hands, but for example like Zhuge, there are three, four or even more brothers in the family, so it is natural. Think about diversifying your investments and reducing your risk.

   Just like many units in later generations said they would not accept husbands and wives sharing the same slot, it was also to reduce the risk. The husband and wife influence each other, maybe they bring the personal grievances of the two people in the family to the workplace...

   Husbands and wives will have grievances and resentments, let alone brothers?

In the current overall situation, anyway, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang don't consider Cao Cao's side, because Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou back then left a very bad impression, so if he wants to become an official, in fact, there is only left to either vote Yuan Shao had to choose either Jiangdong or north to Guanzhong.

  Yuan Shao is naturally not considered. It's not that at this moment, Zhuge Jin has already seen through the fog of the future and the development of history, but because there are too many noble families under Yuan Shao, and a poor family like Zhuge basically has no place to stand. It's like the reason why Guo Jia left resolutely, unless he didn't have the ambition and planned to lay hands on others for the rest of his life...

   Then comparing Jiangdong and Guanzhong, Guanzhong is naturally better.

  So Zhuge Jin was planning to go to Guanzhong for a party, which is naturally reasonable.

  Since there is a high probability that Zhuge Jin will stay in Guanzhong, Zhuge Liang will certainly not be able to compete with his elder brother for a job. Whether it is in the concept of the gentry or in the social morality of the Han Dynasty, it is a normal operation and there is nothing to say. Even if they are called ministers in the same palace in the future, as the juniors, they will avoid the elders a little bit, otherwise, the word loyalty and filial piety will always be somewhat indebted.

   "My brother's intelligence, I don't dare to say it's the best, but it can be used..." Zhuge Liang said, "Going to Guanzhong can also help the Hussar General... If you are not talented, you need to read and write more to increase your knowledge..."

   "That's it..." Huang Chengyan didn't know what to say, "...It's okay, it's okay, let's wait two years before talking about it..."

  Huang Chengyan meant that when Zhuge Jin stabilized, Zhuge Liang would not be fighting his brother for a job, but in fact, he didn't expect that Zhuge Liang had other ideas in his stomach...

  While speaking, Huang Zhong's routine training in the school grounds had ended, and the soldiers were brought back by the various ministries. Huang Zhong also ordered to open the gate of the school grounds, and welcomed Huang Chengyan and others in.

  Huang Chengyan laughed and said, "Han Sheng, take them to have a look, don't worry about me..."

  Huang Chengyan knew that Huang Ping and Zhuge Liang hadn't had much contact with military affairs. This time they finally came to Wancheng, and naturally hoped to gain some insight, so he said it directly, so that Huang Zhong would not have to take care of him.

  Huang Zhong took the order and led Zhuge Liang and Huang Ping forward.

   "Soldiers, important matters of the country, you can't play with them..." Huang Zhong explained as he walked, "If you two have public positions, you can look inside..."

In fact, this matter is like bringing a child to the company. It is not impossible to do this, and it is not necessary to drive the child away. Children, it is unavoidable that there is something wrong with letting children sit aside.

  Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said: "General Huang's orders are strict and strict. Liang deeply admires them. How dare you complain?"

  Huang Zhong nodded, and then led them to the general platform.

The platform is as high as two people. When standing on the platform, although the soldiers in the school field have dispersed and returned to the camp, you can still vaguely see the traces of sand and soil trampled by the soldiers in the school field. At the time of contention, the soldiers under the stage moved according to the order, and thousands of people were as one, lined up with swords and guns...

   Not only Huang Ping, but even Zhuge Liang, who was relatively calm in one item, couldn't help feeling a little short of breath.

"For orders in the army, horns are the main ones..." Huang Zhong pointed to the drum horns and various flags on the general's platform and said, "When you hear the drums, you advance, and when you hear the gold, you retreat... You all understand this, but how to advance, How to retreat, this needs to be adjusted for the generals on the battlefield... These flags, one for each, plus the square flag, can let the soldiers know where to go... In addition, You also need to always pay attention to the physical strength and endurance of the soldiers, and you should know about the things that go all out and let go..."

  Zhuge Liang and Huang Ping looked at the drum horns for a while, and then went to look at the flags of various colors.

   Huang Zhong looked at his own child, Huang Ping, with some relief and regret in his eyes.

"I said Han Sheng..." Seeing Huang Zhong's expression, Huang Chengyan leaned over and said in a low voice, "Now you are considered to have established a career. Naturally, it is better to have more branches and leaves for this family... In the letter of General Hussars , I also asked a lot about Han Sheng, and I sent you two concubines for Han Sheng... Both are the daughters of a down-and-out family in Guanzhong, who are well-educated and well-educated... This is also a good story for a beautiful woman, so Han Sheng should not refuse anymore... "

Huang Zhong was about to say something, but Huang Chengyan held his arm, "Oh, Han Sheng, if you refuse again, what will others do? Besides, I am still working hard at my age, why are you embarrassed? What? That's it! Why, are you really planning to let your martial arts in this body be lost?"

   "This..." Huang Zhong was stunned for a while, and finally sighed softly, "So, thank you General Hussar for your kindness...Huang Gong, Hussar has treated me very well... I really can't repay you..."

   "Haha, what are you being polite about, they are all one family, one family..."

…

  ...Here is the dividing line where bare feet are not afraid to wear shoes...

The influence and constraints of terrain and landforms on warfare are naturally obvious, and most people know it, but knowing what can't be done and how to use terrain and landforms to turn disadvantages into advantages, and even use them to counter the opponent. It is not the ability of lip service, but the ability to put it into practice.

In recent years, Liu Bei has collected some chapters on the art of war, which naturally talked about the importance of terrain in battle, and how to formulate strategies according to the terrain before the battle as a coach, so as to form a local advantage to attack the opponent's strategy, but no One, or a chapter, talks about how to fight in such an area dominated by mountains and rivers...

In fact, in history, Liu Bei also had a deep understanding of mountain warfare. In the later period, he even specially formed a mountain warfare force mainly composed of ethnic minorities around Sichuan and Shu. It was established too late, and there was no specific record of the training process. As a result, Liu Bei gradually declined after his death, and never showed any dazzling brilliance.

  In history, the place where Liu Bei trained the mountain army and gained experience was the Qinling area where he confronted Cao Cao. In this area, Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao's two large-scale attacks in a row, and finally established the title of King of Hanzhong thoroughly. And Cao Cao, the all-powerful military strategist on the Central Plains battlefield, was also scalp numb when facing the Sichuan and Shu mountains, and in the end he was left with the word "chicken ribs". He killed Yang Xiu, but made Liu Bei's dream come true. prestige.

In fact, Liu Bei had only just entered Sichuan at that time, and he had conflicts with the gentry in Sichuan and Shu. It was not about the same hatred and hatred. In addition, Cao Cao was also holding a heavy army at the time. Normally speaking, he captured Sichuan and Shu in one fell swoop and strangled Liu Bei's political group. In the early stages of start-up development, it is still very possible.

This is indeed the case. When Cao Cao led the army for the first time and approached Sichuan and Shu, the "number of policemen in the middle of Sichuan" once caused great panic among Liu Bei's political group. However, the result was that Liu Bei basically did not hurt any muscles and bones. Chang Banpo changed his embarrassing image of being kicked out by Cao Cao, and became a man who could face Cao Cao face to face...

  The second time was even more funny. Cao Cao and Liu Bei held each other for several months.

   Can't solve the problem, can't it also solve the person who raised the problem? !

  Two consecutive offensives failed, and Cao Cao also ruined the excellent opportunity to enter Sichuan and Shu, allowing Liu Bei to smoothly integrate Sichuan and Shu, completely forming a three-legged situation.

   But obviously, the current Liu Bei doesn't have enough experience in mountain warfare, and he hasn't developed any skills that look like white yak soldiers. Therefore, when facing the Ruoren mountain warfare, he behaved very embarrassed...

  Liu Bei is now the same as Cao Cao who was stationed on Xiegu Road in history. He is not reconciled to advancing, not to advancing, and retreating.

Therefore, when he heard that General Hussars had sent reinforcements to arrive, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and went out of the camp early to greet him. As a result, he waited for a long time, his throat was about to smoke, and he saw the wobbly approaching from the distant mountain road. More than a dozen, less than twenty figures...

   "This, this is the reinforcements?" Zhang Fei widened his eyes, "Is there anyone behind?!"

   Liu Bei was also a little dazed, and said: "This... look again, look again, maybe these are just former military outposts..."

   Another half an hour later, these more than ten soldiers came in front of Liu Bei, cupped their hands and said: "Hussars under the command of Shanzi Battalion Sima Tang Huang, I have seen General Liu!"

   "Ah, I met Tang Sima..." Liu Beidui smiled, "...but the army is behind Sima? I don't know when it will arrive?"

   "What army?" Tang Yan couldn't help but glanced back, and then suddenly said, "There is no army, just us..."

"Wow..." Zhang Fei had been waiting for a long time, and he was already a little impatient. Hearing Tang Yu's words, he couldn't help bursting out, "Just wait? There are only a dozen people! What kind of reinforcements! Could it be that the hussars are playing tricks?!"

  Tang Yu immediately darkened his face, cupped his hands and said: "It seems that General Liu does not welcome me to wait... so, I will leave!" After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

  Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to hold him back, while comforting him, he berated Zhang Fei for coming to make amends. Although Zhang Fei was still angry like a big puffer fish, he still listened to Liu Bei's words and stepped forward to make a bow to Tang Yu, which was regarded as exposing this matter to the past...

"General Liu..." Tang Yu didn't give Zhang Fei any good looks, but just said to Liu Bei, "General Liu and Li Shijun met to march into Dingze. Now that the general is at a disadvantage in marching, he is asking for help. If General Hussars sends a large army, And I don't know about Li Shijun's side...even if the general wins Dingze, will he be able to convince everyone?"

   "This..." Liu Bei was taken aback, but also speechless.

If you think about it carefully, it is also the same reason. It is agreed to rely on your own ability to see who wins Ding Ruo, who will be in charge, and now it doesn’t work, and it is called reinforcements. Then if Liu Bei really wins Ding Ruo, whose credit is this?

   "That's why the hussars ordered us to come, not the main support, but the main instruction..." Tang Yu continued, "There is also a team at Li Shijun's place. It is fair to not treat one more than another."

  Liu Bei didn't have anything to say, he could only express his gratitude to General Fei Qian, who was thoughtful and even reasonable, but it could be seen that he was actually quite disappointed...

   Tang Yan didn't continue to worry about it, he looked up at the sky, and said: "It's getting late today, so for the time being, I hope the general will lead some smart soldiers to listen to the lecture tomorrow."

   "Huh? Good, good, so good..."

   Seeing that things were already like this, Liu Bei could only ask Tang Yu to advance into the camp with suspicion, and arranged to stay without mentioning it.

At night, after Zhang Fei patrolled the camp, he returned to Liu Bei's big tent, and he couldn't hold back any longer, muttering, "I think the hussars are just trying to be perfunctory... What's the use of sending these dozen people here?" ? Can a dozen people win Ding Ruo? Is this intentional? It depends on our jokes?"

  Liu Bei was also thinking, for a while, he shook his head hesitantly, and said, "General Hussars should not be like this... rest, we will know tomorrow..."
