Looking at Xu Shu's leaving figure, Sima Yi didn't know why, but mentally he felt that this person was too stubborn. He decided to take Xu Shu away. According to his estimation, after Qinzhou and Liangzhou were quickly captured, as the emperor
, and Gao Fei, who has always been far-sighted, will definitely not miss the opportunity to attack Shu, take advantage of Wei's unstable foothold, and then completely eliminate Wei.
Not long after, people reported that Taishi Ci, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu had all arrived, less than five miles away from the city. So Sima Yi personally went out of the city to welcome Taishi Ci, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu into the city.
After that, Sima Yi got straight to the point and said: "The reason why I alarmed the generals is because I have important matters to discuss, and I asked the generals to mobilize their troops. Please forgive me."
Taishi Ci had long recognized Sima Yi's ability. If Sima Yi had not gone to Chang'an, perhaps he and Pang De would not have been in a bitter battle, Ma Chao would not have been defeated, and many people might not have died. However, he did not blame anyone.
People, these subordinates sacrifice their lives for the country, which is when the value of life is reflected.
"It's okay, Zhongda. You summoned us here in such a panic. There must be something important. But it doesn't matter. We rough people don't care too much about etiquette. Please don't be formal. Official positions are nothing more than external possessions." Taishi
Said kindly.
Sima Yi liked to deal with these warriors and did not have so many evil intentions. He immediately said: "In that case, I will speak frankly. Now that the northwest war has just ended, Cheriji has declared himself a vassal of the Huaxia Kingdom and said that he will pay tribute year after year.
General Wei Yan was stationed in Dunhuang again, and the Western Regions
All countries have also surrendered to the Huaxia Kingdom, and the Xianbei people, who have always been at odds with the Huaxia Kingdom, have not moved this time. The north is generally peaceful. However, the southwest has just been pacified by the Wei Kingdom. I guess Cao Cao is fighting for the lost territory.
, will inevitably lead his army to compete with our army, and it may be a tough battle."
Regarding this matter, Zhang Xiu had the most say, and immediately said: "Cao Cao will definitely come to fight for the lost territory. Qinzhou and Liangzhou are Cao Cao's foundation. Although Shu has been pacified, it is definitely not as easy to govern as Qinzhou and Liangzhou.
Moreover, the conquest of the Shu, Han and Wei armies did not result in the loss of many troops. With an army of 150,000, Cao Cao will definitely lead an army of 100,000 to fight for it. Since Qinzhou has few soldiers, it will definitely be the main battlefield. I think we should send troops to assist."
"You are not allowed to dispatch troops and horses without permission. This is the iron law of the Huaxia Kingdom!" Taishi Ci said sternly, "Zhongda, although you have achieved good military exploits in Liangzhou this time, you have to spend more time in the Huaxia Kingdom.
It's quite a lot. You should know that this is what the emperor has set
Iron law. Moreover, in the Northwest War, the emperor ordered each war zone to take responsibility for itself and no longer be dispatched by the Privy Council to avoid delaying military aircraft. This was the first time in history. Now that the northwest has just been pacified, although all the barbarians have surrendered, they cannot
Mobilize troops and horses privately."
After hearing this, Ma Chao and Pang De all nodded in agreement. It was understandable that Zhang Xiu said something wrong, because he had just joined the Huaxia Kingdom, but everyone heard Sima Yi's meaning clearly and did not agree with it.
Sima Yi said: "As the saying goes, the generals are outside, and the emperor's orders are not obeyed. The changes on the battlefield are subtle. The emperor established the Privy Council to control military aircraft, but it is just a formality. It is you who really lead the troops in the war. The emperor also gave you
Full freedom allows you not to be rigid. From Qinzhou to Liangzhou, Guanshan is blocking the way. The emperor has not issued an imperial edict for months. With me,
I guess that the emperor must have led an elite army to capture Hanzhong. I'm afraid that by now, Hanzhong has already become the emperor's possession. I think the emperor should have given the order to mobilize the army by now, but it's a long way to go.
, haven’t arrived here yet. What I want to say is that we can detach a branch of the Northwest Army and go to Hanzhong to provide assistance. This will not waste time, what do you think?"
"Without the emperor's decree, troops are not allowed to be deployed without authorization. Sima Zhongda, don't push yourself too far. I have the final say on the Northwest Army. This is a matter of principle, not something that can be decided by your imagination." Tai Shici said angrily.
Sima Yi frowned and said angrily: "This is a military plane. Soldiers are very fast. If the emperor takes the blame, I, Sima Yi, will bear all the blame. General Zhongda is sure that the general will send 50,000 troops to support Hanzhong.
Only in this way can the emperor not be trapped in a bitter battle. Cao Cao is an extraordinary person, and he also has Feng Chu to help him. The dangerous place in Hanzhong has an abnormal key and cannot be counterattacked by Cao Wei!"
Zhang Xiu said: "I know I have no say, but I am sure that Cao Cao will definitely lead an army of 100,000 to regain the lost territory. Once Cao Cao breaks through the defense line, Qiang King Cheliji will definitely respond. By then, Liangzhou, Qinzhou
The general will be caught up in the battle again, and I am afraid that if we continue fighting like this, the soldiers of the Chinese army will be exhausted. General, I am willing to be the vanguard and lead my own army of 10,000 troops to support Hanzhong."
Seeing this, Ma Chao cupped his fists and said: "General, the Northwest Army has 250,000 troops. This time we sent 200,000 troops to conquer Liangzhou, and nearly 40,000 people died in the battle. If a 100,000 troops guard the dangerous place, it will be enough, not to mention my reputation."
The Qiang people all know that the general is in charge of Liangzhou, I guard the main road leading to the Qiang people, and General Pang guards Wuwei.
, enough to intimidate everyone. Sima Zhongda has never made a mistake in his calculations. First he outsmarted Jicheng, and then went to Chang'an to support. A few days ago, he bombed hundreds of thousands of Qiang people in Jicheng. Although Cheliji was lucky
The escape also made Cheriji fear our army. I have never asked the general for anything, this time I..."
"That's enough!" Taishi Ci stood up, turned his back, and said to everyone, "Sima Zhongda, I hope your sense of smell is sensitive. As long as your sense of smell is sensitive, I, the general, will be guilty of arbitrarily deploying troops.
I will take full responsibility for you. If your sense of smell is wrong, come to see me!"
Sima Yi glanced at Ma Chao and was extremely grateful to Ma Chao. At the same time, he was also grateful to Taishi Ci. After all, Taishi Ci was not the kind of unreasonable person. He immediately bowed to Taishi Ci, Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu, and Pang De.
, said: "Zhongda thanks all the generals. Once Cao Cao is defeated, the credit belongs to everyone. Zhongda will not take any of it. If something goes wrong in the process, Zhongda will not harm the generals."
Taishi Ci said: "Sima Zhongda, go ahead and take 40,000 troops with you, together with General Zhang's 10,000 troops, before I change my mind."
Sima Yi cupped his fists and thanked him again: "Thank you so much, General."
"Sima Zhongda, please remember, everything I did today was not for you or anyone else, but for the country of China." Tai Shi said lovingly.
"promise!"
Later, Zhang Xiu bid farewell to Tai Shici and left Shanggui with Sima Yi with an army of 50,000.
"General Zhang, is it a long way from Qinzhou to Hanzhong?" Sima Yi asked as soon as he left the city gate.
Zhang Xiu understood what Sima Yi meant and said: "We can capture Wudu. If the emperor really captures Hanzhong, the front line will definitely be blocked outside Jiameng Pass. If we go to Wudu and follow the Western Han River, we can
Arrive behind Jiameng Pass. However, this road is extremely dangerous. The mountains are high and dangerous. Although the river is frozen, it is
There are many hot springs in the area, so the ice on the water is very thin, so people cannot pass through. There is also a pass in front of the river, which is built to block the river. If you don't break through this pass, you can't pass. Cao Cao is extremely smart, and there will definitely be no mistakes. He must be
Heavily defended, if there are no warships to attack, it will be difficult to break through, and it will be easy to alert the enemy."
After hearing this, Sima Yi said to Zhang Xiu: "What if we take the Yinping Road?"
Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Sima Yi to know the local geography so well. He immediately said, "If we take the Yinping Road, wouldn't it take a long detour?"
Sima Yi said: "If we take a longer detour, we should have fewer troops, right?"
"I understand what you mean, what about Yin Ping Dao?"
"Take the Yinping Road."
After the two people had reached a consensus, they left with their army.
…………
Deep in a mountain in Yuzhou, Zhang Fei was carrying a Zhangba Snake Spear and a Qinglong Yanyue Sword on his back. He was walking hard into the mountain step by step through the thick snow. As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Second Brother...Er Brother...
Brother...where are you...if you hear me, just answer me..."
The sound spread into the valley, resounding with endless echoes. The sounds overlapped and spread farther.
Zhang Fei walked forward with difficulty and said to himself: "The hunters on the mountain said that they have seen the second brother and he lives on the mountain. But I have been looking for him for two days, why can't I still find him?"
Ever since Guan Yu disappeared mysteriously, Zhang Fei, carrying two weapons on his back, searched for Guan Yu everywhere. After asking around, he chased him and found this unknown mountain.
After searching hard for more than a month, which can be considered two years in and out of the year, Zhang Fei spent the New Year's Eve night alone. Zhang Fei did suffer a lot for this brotherly love.
However, he has no regrets. His eldest brother is no longer here and he cannot lose his second brother again.
In other words, when Zhang Fei heard the news that Liu Bei had been killed, he thought he would shed tears, feel heartbroken, and cry bitterly. But for some reason, when he heard it, he felt so calm. That feeling of sworn friendship in the Taoyuan
The friendship and the eternal alliance, I don’t know when, started to deteriorate.
He is still him, but he is not him. He no longer has the same taste as before. Now, he only places his hope on Guan Yu. If he can find Guan Yu, it would be fine even if they open a small shop together. Anyway, he has worked in a butcher shop.
At worst, they can open another room, and the two brothers can take over their families and live happily together. In the future, his daughter will marry Guan Yu's son, and Guan Yu's daughter will marry his son. What a wonderful thing it is.
Zhang Fei laughed in admiration, not realizing at all that there was suddenly an extra person on the rock above his head.
"Third brother!"
When Zhang Fei heard this voice, he was startled and looked up quickly. When he saw Guan Yu standing on the rock, he hurriedly shouted: "Second brother... I worked so hard to find you..."
