Following the order, Sima Yi entered the main hall from outside the palace. With his tall height of 1.8 meters, slender figure, flowing long hair, and trendy clothes, Sima Yi caught the attention of the civil and military ministers.
Stepping onto the Shenzhou Wuji Temple again, Sima Yi felt very calm. Gu Bo's calm face and deep eyes all exuded the charm of a mature man. It was unbelievable that the man in front of him was only a few years old.
The arrogant and arrogant Sima Yi from before.
"Your Majesty, Sima Zhongda, kowtow to the Emperor." As soon as Sima Yi entered the hall, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gao Fei.
"Ai Qing, get up and talk. Come to the stairs." Gao Fei said to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi said "Promise", stood up, and walked towards Gao Fei in full view of everyone. When he was about to reach the stairs, he hurriedly stopped and stood in the center of the hall with a bow.
, seemed very humble.
Gao Fei looked at Sima Yi and was very satisfied with Sima Yi's humility. In the past two years, he asked Sima Yi to go to Langya to be the prefect instead of jumping to a high position all at once, which tempered his temperament. Now he is back again two years later.
, indeed he was satisfied, and he thought to himself: "Sima Yi has finally grown up, and has completely shed his immaturity."
"Sima Zhongda, it's been two years since you and I parted, right?" Gao Fei asked casually.
"Your Majesty, it has been two years, four months and seven days." Sima Yi remembered it clearly.
Gao Fei smiled and said: "You remember it very clearly. Sima Yi, the Jinghan army attacked Wancheng a few days ago, causing Zhang Liao to lose his troops. After five years of recuperation, our country of China has an army of 700,000 and is ready to fight. I am ready to send 20 troops."
Wan Yu counterattacked with the goal of conquering Xiangyang, the capital of Jing and Han Dynasties. I wonder what you think?"
Sima Yi didn't even think about it, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Jinghan and Cao Wei have been in alliance for a long time. In the past five years, these two countries have been harassing our borders, making the soldiers and civilians on the border very disgusted. I fully agree with your Majesty to send troops to attack the Han.
The suggestion is that once our army launches a national war, Cao Wei will definitely
If they will harass the northwest, then the Holy One cannot attack the Han exclusively. A war to destroy a country costs a lot of money. Once a national war is launched, one must go all out and never give up until the Jing and Han are conquered. The most important thing is that the Holy One cannot destroy the Han.
You must never waver in your mind. Once you waver, all your previous efforts will be wasted.”
After hearing this, Gao Fei felt that what Sima Yi said was very reasonable. He looked at Jia Xu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Gai Xun and many civil and military ministers, and none of them seemed to have any objections.
"My dear friends, do you have any other opinions?"
Xun You stepped forward and said loudly: "I think that China and Soochow have been friends for generations and are closely related. Moreover, Jinghan and Soochow have a feud. If the emperor wants to send troops to destroy Han, he can send envoys to Jianye first.
, invite Soochow to join us in launching an attack on Jinghan. In this way, our army will have another chance of winning."
"In addition, once our army sends troops, Cao Wei, who is allied with Jing and Han, will definitely take action in the northwest. The emperor must strengthen the defense in the northwest. As long as we guard it tightly, the northwest will not be a concern." Guo Jia also suggested.
After Gao Fei heard this, he immediately thought about it and said loudly: "Chen Lin, I am planning to write an imperial edict and order Xu Huang, the right cavalry general, to strengthen the defense of Tongguan, and order Tai Shici, the tiger-winged general, to lead 30,000 cavalry to attack south from Lingzhou.
Qinzhou, in addition, Ma Chao was appointed as the general to conquer the west and led the cavalry
20,000, attack Wuwei. General Pound of the Guard leads an army of 20,000 to attack Anding, using offense as defense to contain Cao Wei's army! If they encounter Cao Wei's army, they will use mobile warfare to annihilate the enemy's effective forces. Within seven days, no matter what the victory is,
The results of the battle are all returned to Lingzhou."
As soon as the voice fell, Chen Lin, who was sitting in the main hall, started writing the imperial edict.
"Sima Yi!" Gao Fei shouted again.
Sima Yi said respectfully: "I'm here!"
"I will appoint you as the Military Advisor General and rush to Wancheng immediately. You will temporarily be under the command of General Huya Zhang Liao. You will take office tomorrow."
"I obey the decree."
Gao Fei glanced at Zhong Yao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and asked loudly: "Zhong Shangshu, how long will it take to raise a year's worth of military grain and grass?"
Zhong Yao walked out of his desk, thought for a moment, and then replied: "Please give me one month, your Majesty. After one month, I will personally escort one million stones of grain and grass to Wancheng for military needs."
"Well, not only food and grass, but also military pay." Gao Fei added.
"I understand that in one month, I will transport one million stones of grain and grass and five hundred thousand silver coins to Wancheng." When Zhong Yao said this, he didn't even frown. You must know that one stone of grain and grass can provide for
An adult can eat for 200 days, and one silver coin can cover the expenses of ordinary people for a month.
When fighting a war, we fight with national strength. This is an unchanging truth. Therefore, having strong national strength is the capital for waging war.
After five years of recuperation, the Huaxia Kingdom has formed four huge grain-producing bases in the Northeast, Hebei, Central Plains, and Northwest. In particular, the development of the Hetao area was not very prominent in the first two years. Until the past two years, the role of the Hetao area has
becoming more and more prominent.
Although Gao Fei proposed the system of all citizens becoming soldiers, there was considerable resistance when it was actually implemented. Therefore, the militia system has only been implemented around important border defense towns, and the Hetao area has been the most successful in implementing the militia system.
The 100,000 Dongyi soldiers who were dismissed on the spot became militiamen and made great contributions in guarding the border and developing wasteland. Therefore, even if Cao Wei and Xianbei formed an alliance, they still did not pose any threat to the northern part of the Huaxia Kingdom.
Once the issues of food, fodder, and military pay were resolved, the remaining issue was the issue of sending troops. So, Gao Fei synthesized opinions from all sides and finally made a decision to send 300,000 troops to destroy the Han.
General Zhang Liao and Hu Lie General Huang Zhong were the left and right vanguards respectively, and they were asked to lead their troops. The troops were divided into two groups and began a formal counterattack to destroy the Han Dynasty.
On the other hand, Gao Fei mobilized Zhang He from Hebei, Chen arrived at the 110,000 new troops he had trained in the past few years, and had these 110,000 new troops rush from Hebei to gather near Luoyang, leaving General Zhao Yun, the powerful general, to guard the north and serve as
He was the governor-general of Youzhou, Liaodong, Dongyi, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Yunzhou and other places.
In addition, Gao Fei asked Gan Ning's 100,000-strong navy to move from Tianjin Port to Jiangdu in Guangling Prefecture, Xuzhou, where he expanded the port and repaired the naval base, across the river from Qu'a Port in Soochow. He also asked General Zuo Zang to
He dug a canal to connect the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River in Guangling Prefecture.
After a series of orders were issued, the Senate and the Privy Council jointly issued official documents and stamped the imperial seal, preparing to officially start a self-defense counterattack against Jinghan and Han Dynasty one month later, and take advantage of victory to destroy Han Dynasty.
After the meeting was over, Gao Fei sent a secret edict to Sima Yi and rushed to Wancheng to meet Zhang Liao.
After Sima Yi left, Gao Fei called Lu Heng again and met with Lu Heng alone.
"The last time you were captured by the Han army, it was a stain on your military career. Presumably, you will take the initiative to ask for help in this battle to destroy the country, right?" Gao Fei and Lu Heng had a delicate relationship from the beginning.
Master and servant are brothers, and Gao Fei once taught Lu Heng how to shoot, so they are both teachers and friends. Therefore, when the two of them sat down alone, they could talk about anything.
Lu Heng nodded and said: "I want to make meritorious deeds. Last time I was captured. This time I want to capture Zhuge Liang personally."
Gao Fei said: "I guess that's what you think. I can send you to the front line, but you must remember that you are not going to capture Zhuge Liang, but to fight. Don't lose the big for the small. Although Zhuge Liang must
You have to catch him, but you can only do your best, not just to catch Zhuge Liang
Liang, I have lost a general. You are good at defense, and General Hu Lie is good at attacking. I will send you to serve as deputy general to General Hu Lie. Sooner or later, you will discuss with each other and listen to the opinions of the staff headquarters.
Then take reasonable actions and never get caught alive again."
"I would rather die than be a prisoner anymore. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." Lu Heng secretly swore a poisonous oath in his heart.
"Here is a letter of superstition. Take it with you and pass it on to General Hu Lie. After a few days, I will send you a military advisor."
"No!" Lu Heng took the superstition, turned around and left.
Two days later, Sima Yi finally arrived at Wancheng. As soon as he entered Wancheng, he went straight to the government office to see General Huya Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao was instructing Gao Lin to practice Qi at this time. When he heard that a secret envoy was coming, he asked Gao Lin to practice on his own while he went to the living room to meet him.
In the living room, Zhang Liao and Sima Yi met each other twice and exchanged greetings. Sima Yi took out the superstition and gave it to Zhang Liao.
After Zhang Liao read it in a hurry, he couldn't help being shocked and said to Sima Yi: "Our army has just experienced a major defeat. There are only more than 7,000 soldiers left in the 30,000-strong army. The army dispatched by the emperor has not yet arrived. So we should send troops now, right?"
A little too hasty?"
Sima Yi knew what was in his heart and had already explained it to Gao Fei when he handed him the letter. Even if Gao Fei didn't tell him, with his wisdom, he could definitely guess that this secret letter was to urge Zhang Liao to raise troops.
Attack Rang County occupied by the Han army.
There was no expression on his face, and he wriggled his lips and said: "The emperor's arrangement must have a wonderful meaning, the general just follow it. The general had suffered a tragic defeat before, and while the soldiers were in grief,
The Han army should be attacked with lightning speed. Now that the general is the vanguard on the right, he should show the courage and courage of the vanguard. The Han army has just won and must be unprepared. This is the time to counterattack."
After hearing this, Zhang Liao combined the secret message and said: "Okay! The Ai soldiers will win. I will seize Rang County with three thousand soldiers and horses from Wancheng."
After he finished speaking, Zhang Liao immediately ordered the three thousand horsemen in Wancheng, mounted his horse, took Sima Yi with him, and left Wancheng.
