"This general has neglected his duty! Lord, please punish me!"
In Hangu Pass, Gao Shun, who was all bandaged, knelt down in front of Luo Yang and bowed his head to plead guilty. Luo Yang's face was not very good either. Three thousand people were trapped in the camp and the entire army was annihilated! After hearing the news, Luo Yang almost
He didn't faint! Fortunately, he learned that Cao Cao and others planned to attack Hangu Pass, so Luo Yang immediately sent Wei Yan to lead troops to rescue him. Otherwise, Hangu Pass would have changed hands!
Looking back now, Luo Yang was glad that Wei Yan had arrived in time! When he met Gao Shun and others who had just escaped outside the pass, Wei Yan made a prompt decision and speeded up the rescue! According to what Wei Yan described afterwards, as long as
If it is too late, Hangu Pass will really fall into the hands of Cao Cao and others. In that case, Luo Yang will be completely passive in this battle!
Taking a deep breath, Luo Yang looked at Gao Shun who was kneeling in front of him, shook his head, stepped forward to help Gao Shun up, and said: "General Gao! I can't blame you for this! It's because Gu didn't get the information in time beforehand, and he couldn't
General Gao was rescued early, and General Gao was able to resist the enemy's sneak attack of 20,000 men with thousands of troops. It is commendable that General Gao has been able to sustain it for so long! Please rest assured, General Gao! The blood of the soldiers trapped in the camp will not be in vain!
Cao Cao and others will definitely pay the price for this! However, before that, General Gao should rest assured and recover from his injuries!"
Luo Yang had said so, so Gao Shun could not continue to plead guilty. He could only salute Luo Yang and obey Luo Yang's instructions to retreat. After Gao Shun left, Guo Jia and Pang Tong, who were the military advisors for this expedition,
The people looked at each other, Guo Jia frowned and said: "My lord! The princes outside the pass can actually come up with a strategy to strike first. It can be seen that the opponent's formation must have top strategists no less than us! This time at Hangu Pass
In this battle, my lord must be careful in dealing with it!"
Luo Yang nodded, and the names of the two people immediately flashed through his mind: Zhou Yu, Xu Shu! Zhou Yu has always stayed by Sun Jian's side. Luo Yang has known this for a long time, and Xu Shu eight years ago
He had taken refuge with Cao Cao, and Jin Yiwei's spies also passed this news to Luo Yang a few years ago. These two people are undoubtedly top counselors who are no less than Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others! Luo Yang immediately said: "Gu Ye understands!
The enemy is cunning and we must guard against it! In your opinion, is there anything else we should pay attention to?"
Pang Tong frowned and said: "Previously, my lord has ordered General Zhao and General Zhang to lead the Mao Blade Qingqi to station at the border of Bingzhou, Generals Liu Pi and Gong Du to guard the Qingni Pass, and Governor Gan's navy to guard the Yangtze River.
Although this eliminates the possibility of sneak attacks by the Kwantung princes from other places, the number of troops that the lord can mobilize is also greatly reduced! For the current plan, we can only defend Hangu Pass and wait for the Kwantung princes to attack!"
"That's right!" Guo Jia also continued: "The princes of Guandong are in harmony with each other in appearance, and the Chenliu Alliance was a lesson learned from the past! As long as the lord can hold on, it won't be long before these princes in Guandong will collapse on their own!"
Luo Yang also personally participated in the Chenliu Alliance back then. Those princes all harbored ambitions, and the so-called alliance they formed could never last! Luo Yang also nodded, agreed, and then said: "Now at Hangu Pass
There are already 100,000 troops! And the rebels in Luoyang have gathered nearly 300,000 horses! Now it seems that whether we can hold Hangu Pass is still open to question!"
"Lord!" After hearing what Luo Yang said, the veteran Huang Zhong, who was sitting in the first place under Luo Yang, immediately stood up, clasped his fists and shouted to Luo Yang: "Although Cao Cao and others have 300,000 troops, our army
There will be no shortage of troops and horses, and relying on the strength of Hangu Pass! Even if the enemy attacks with all their strength! Our army is confident of guarding Hangu Pass! Please feel free to rest assured, my lord!"
"Haha! With Brother Hansheng, I am of course very relieved!" Luo Yang laughed immediately after hearing Huang Zhong's words. The previous unhappiness caused by the annihilation of the whole army in the trapped camp disappeared in an instant!
At this time, the person sitting at the end of the table stood up and bowed his hands to Luo Yang and said: "My lord! Hangu Pass was besieged by the Kanto princes before and was seriously damaged. Should it be repaired immediately?"
Luo Yang turned around and saw that this person was a capable official who had recently joined Luo Yang's tent a few years ago, named Zhong Yao. Luo Yang only vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be a relatively outstanding civil servant under Cao Cao in history.
, but the youngest son born to this man later impressed Luo Yang deeply. He was Zhong Hui who attacked Shu in history!
However, Zhong Hui hasn't been born yet, so Luo Yang can't get a glimpse of the future outstanding man. But since Zhong Yao can be reused by Cao Cao under the leadership of Cao Cao, who has many talented people, it shows that he is still quite talented. So.
, after confirming that there was no problem with this person's loyalty, Luo Yang promoted him to his subordinates and took on some internal affairs duties. For this army expedition, Luo Yang also appointed Zhong Yao to be in charge of logistics. The repair work of Hangu Pass also
This is what Zhong Yao is responsible for.
After hearing Zhong Yao's request, Luo Yang nodded without even thinking about it and said: "This is what it should be! By the way! There are many Mohist disciples coming with the army this time! While you are repairing Hangu Pass, you might as well
Listen to their opinions and try to build Hangu Pass as stronger as possible!" Luo Yang had also heard about the process of Gao Shun's garrison at Hangu Pass, and Luo Yang originally had great hopes for the four arrow towers at Hangu Pass.
, after learning that the arrow tower was so easily destroyed by the enemy, I felt helpless. It seems that Hangu Pass must continue to be improved!
After getting Luo Yang's approval, Zhong Yao immediately took the order and retreated. Then, Luo Yang turned to look at the general Dian Wei on the other side and said: "Dian Wei, the city defense of Hangu Pass will be up next.
You will take over for the time being! Remember, we must send more scouts, and we must not let the enemy sneak attack us without knowing it again!"
"Here!" Dian Wei stood up immediately, clasped his fists and shouted at Luo Yang, but never said another word. However, everyone here knew Dian Wei's temper, and knowing that Dian Wei did this showed that he must
Will not live up to Luo Yang's order. This is why Luo Yang will give such an important task to Dian Wei! Although Dian Wei doesn't like to talk, he does what he says and is a reassuring man!
"Lord!" At this time, Pang Tong suddenly said: "I don't know why, but I feel that the person who planned the sneak attack on Hangu Pass this time was not Zhou Yu nor Xu Yuanzhi!" Regarding Zhou Yu's character and military habits, Jin Yiwei has already said
The investigation made it very clear. As for Xu Shu, Pang Tong had been his classmate for more than ten years, so naturally he knew him well!
"Oh?" Regarding Pang Tong's suggestion, Luo Yang did not dare to ignore it, and asked with curiosity on his face: "Shi Yuan, do you mean to say that among the princes of Guandong, in addition to Zhou Yu and Xu Shu, there are others who are not inferior to
A top strategist at your level?"
"That should be the case!" Pang Tong nodded and said, "Xu Yuanzhi is very well understood by his subordinates! Although this man is very resourceful, he relies too much on changes before the battle! If he and his subordinates are on the battlefield,
When a superior is commanding a battle, his subordinates are definitely no match for him! However, Xu Yuanzhi's ability is much greater than that of planning. As for Zhou Yu, although his subordinates have never seen him, from his planning in Jingzhou
It seems that what this person is best at is deception, and this kind of strategy is completely inconsistent with this person’s character!”
Everyone felt a little strange after Pang Tong's analysis. Luo Yang frowned. If this was really the case, Luo Yang would have to be more careful in the next battle! Having one more top strategist would not have the same effect as one plus one.
So simple! Luo Yang, who already had five or six top advisers on his hands, knew this very well! Suddenly Luo Yang's eyes lit up, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Pang Tong, and asked in surprise: "Shi Yuan, is your
You mean, Zhuge Kongming is also in the formation of the Guandong princes?"
Luo Yang was really scared this time! As Luo Yang, who had been exposed to the legend of the Three Kingdoms since he was a child, he even had a sense of awe for the legendary Zhuge Wuhou who was as wise as a monster! And in the past few years, he has been trying to find it.
Luo Yang, who had found nothing about Zhuge Liang, could not help but tremble in fear when he thought of Zhuge Liang becoming his enemy!
But Pang Tong shook his head and said: "No! Although I don't know if Kong Ming is in the formation of the Guandong princes, this plan is not something Kong Ming can make! The teacher accepted three of our disciples back then. I am good at it.
What is important is planning and layout, and Xu Yuanzhi is good at commanding on the spot, but Kong Ming is better at government affairs! So the enemy's plan was definitely not done by Kong Ming!"
This was the first time Luo Yang heard Pang Tong mention Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang, and he asked with some surprise: "Zhuge Kongming is only good at government affairs? Doesn't he know how to fight?"
"That's not true!" Pang Tong felt a little strange why Luo Yang was so interested in the unknown Zhuge Liang, but he patiently explained to Luo Yang and said: "The teacher once evaluated the three of us. If we deal with ordinary people,
The three of us will not lose to others in any aspect! But if we meet someone who is almost as capable as us, then our shortcomings will be revealed!"
Pang Tong's words were a bit convoluted, but Luo Yang understood the meaning. For a wise man like Pang Tong, there is actually no shortcoming in any aspect, but compared to counselors of the same level, in some aspects, he may be better.
Not as good as others! Just like Guo Jia, he keeps saying that he only knows how to plan wars, but if you really want him to do government affairs, he will definitely not be much worse than ordinary capable officials! It's just that this kid always likes to be lazy, so
I use this excuse every time to avoid it.
