General Zhendong knew the elegance when he heard this. When he heard Zhang Bao’s question, he had a meaningful smile in his eyes:
"Brother, I want to block Sima Yi?"
Zhang Bao smiled and rubbed his hands again:
"It's the best to be able to block it, but if you can't, it's good to scare him!"
The meaning of the words is to go to Changshan.
After all, if you really want to block Sima Yi in Jingxing, it would be a great achievement.
This time I took a dangerous path with Sanniang, I was no less than that of Youzhou.
As a general, seeing such great achievements approaching, how can you not be tempted?
Unexpectedly, General Zhendong shook his head with a smile:
"I advise my brother to go to Yecheng."
When Zhang Bao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Why?"
"Because Sima Yi is no better than others, among the many thieves, this old thief is the most cunning one."
When General Zhendong said this, he paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to say it more tactfully:
"In the battle of Guanzhong, Sima Yi confronted Cheng in Wugongshui. After the Grand Sima took over Hedong, he had such an opportunity at this time."
"But the Grand Sima was reluctant to cross the river west and surrounded Sima Yi with the Prime Minister."
"At that time, not to mention others, even me, I couldn't understand why Da Sima was so abnormal and let go of the great achievements that were in front of him."
"However, in hindsight, if Sima hadn't had enough concentration, he might have fallen into the trap of Sima's old thief."
After taking over Hedong, although there were thieves on the west bank guarding the ferry, with Feng Dasima's ability, it was not difficult to lead a large army to cross the river and surround Sima Yi's retreat.
But he chose to fish on the east coast.
It was later proved that Feng Guiwang's foresight was indeed not a futile reputation.
Sima Yi not only escaped from the prime minister by everyone's surprise, but even set up ambushes in the Weishui area, waiting for the Liangzhou army led by Feng to plunge in.
As the pioneer of the Liangzhou army at that time, General Zhendong always felt shocked whenever he thought of the danger at that time.
To this day, General Zhendong has not been able to figure out how Sima Yi and Sima Feng could guess the existence of each other without seeing each other.
A man quietly prepared to go, wanting to turn the world around at any time.
One person was fishing on the other side of the river, trying to force his opponent to retreat without fighting and take the initiative to give up from Guanzhong.
Although he did not face the confrontation directly, the silent confrontation from the air made General Zhendong who had experienced it deeply.
Thinking of his army leading the charge into battle, in order to force the river to cross the river, even the Thunder God Fire seemed too naive.
Even with General Zhendong's high ambition, he was inevitably hit by this incident.
At some point, General Zhendong felt that he had just seen the path and claimed to have come to the hall, but suddenly he saw the other party standing on the Qiongxiao with his hands behind his back.
It's like staggering on the bluestone moss path, and the straw shoes are still stained with morning dew, while the other party has stepped on the clouds and stretched out his hand to pick the stars.
However, what made General Zhendong feel glad and comforted was that the person standing in Qiongxiao, stepping on the clouds and reaching out to pick the stars was his pillow.
It was stimulated by this incident that General Zhendong did not say it on the surface in recent years, but secretly he was acquainted with learning, acquiring Hua Peishi, and enriching himself.
This is why Zhang Bao felt that General Zhendong had even become knowledgeable.
At this moment, her consideration was quite detailed:
"After I leave Jixian, the fine works in the city will inevitably go to Sima Yi as quickly as possible. Even if my brother sets off immediately, it will be two days late."
Starting from preparing to break through the ancient pass, all the way is to rely on information differences and speed.
After taking Jixian, it is impossible for Youzhou to keep the news confidential anymore.
After all, the distance between Jixian and Changshan and Yecheng has exceeded the limit of confidentiality.
In addition, a large number of cavalry marching, no matter how fast it is, it is impossible to compare with detailed work or cavalry transmission.
If you rush on the road at normal speed, you may encounter an ambush set up by Sima Yi before you get there.
If you force yourself to travel, you will be exhausted when you arrive in Changshan County and you will not be able to breathe, you will most likely have to face Sima Yi's army returning from Jingxing immediately.
In either case, it is no different from giving away a head.
It would be better to go directly to Yecheng and threaten the other party's retreat. No matter whether it is too late or not, Sima Yi can be forced to retreat from Jingxing to Yecheng.
Then, with the advantage of the cavalry, they continued to harass Sima Yi's main army.
As long as we can wait until Sima Feng leads a large army into Hebei from the west of Taihang, the overall situation will be decided.
Hearing that General Zhendong attached so much importance to Sima Yi, Zhang Bao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and was about to say whether he was too cautious.
After all, over the years, Sima Yi never got to know her brother-in-law.
Moreover, when I was in Wuzhangyuan, I had seen Sima Yi before, and I didn’t think this person was so powerful.
Even if you have superior troops, aren’t you suppressed by the Prime Minister so that you can only rely on martial arts to hide?
Even the Prime Minister gave the female makeup but failed to inspire this person to fight.
Not to mention that when Zhang Bao, Guan Xing and others joined forces to annihilate the elite Wei army led by Qin Lang, Sima Yi not only did not come to rescue him, but even took the opportunity to escape...
It is precisely because of this incident that Zhang Bao is quite ashamed of Sima Yi.
In addition, Sima Yi's reputation as a tiger has been feared for a long time. In the eyes of many people, this person is just a timid person.
Over the years, the Han Dynasty had few defeats against the pseudo-Wei, and it was reasonable that everyone looked down on the Wei army.
Hey, no, it was a failure.
Wei Yan’s mistake in Shangdang!
When Zhang Bao thought of this, his somewhat hot mind finally calmed down.
Isn’t it because of Sima Yi’s surprise attack in the Shangdang battle?
This person... should still have some skills.
Seeing Zhang Bao's face changing, General Zhendong knew that he was still hesitant, so he strengthened his tone and said:
"Brother, don't forget that Sima Yi's elite soldiers were less than 100,000, and he also incorporated 50,000 Xianbei Huqi not long ago."
"Changshan County must have heavy troops stationed at this time. With the Southern Army led by Brother A and these miscellaneous Hus, if you cannot attack them unprepared, how much chance of winning?"
After General Zhendong reminded him, Zhang Bao, who was eager to make contributions, suddenly woke up, and cold sweat oozed out of his back:
"What the general said is that I am not considering it carefully."
Since it is impossible to block Sima Yi, and the news from Youzhou is likely to be on the way to Changshan, there is no need for Zhang Bao to be anxious.
At least there is no need to worry about starting the army today.
After a day of rest, he led the Southern Army and the Zahu Alliance toward Zhuo County.
The hometown of Emperor Zhaolie of the Great Han Dynasty was Zhuo County, the county seat of Zhuo County, and Zhang Fei, one of the five generals of the tiger, also came from Zhuo County.
After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, for some purpose, he deliberately changed Zhuo County to Fanyang County.
Therefore, Zhuo County and Fanyang County basically refer to the same place - even under Zhuo County, it is larger than Fanyang County changed by the pseudo-Wei Wei.
The morning mist is like milk, soaking the rammed earth walls of the ancient city of Zhuojun.
When Zhang Bao's spear tip opened the red painted door with spider webs, the rotten door shaft made a dying moan.
Looking at the broken walls of the Zhang family's ancestral home, my face was complicated, and my eyes seemed to have nostalgia, sadness and longing, and I felt a lot.
The cypress beams and pillars in the main hall had long collapsed, and half of the bracket was soaked in the depression with water marks, and the moss covered the remaining lacquer paintings on the east wall.
The entire western wall collapsed, revealing the charred tree stumps in the back garden.
There is no ancient tree of Tangli that my father has mentioned to him more than once. There is only a huge stump, and the annual rings of the roots are shining coldly under the rising sun.
The moment he passed through the Yue Cave Gate, Zhang Bao's wristband iron plate suddenly tensed.
I don’t know who was the imagined peach forest cut off, and there were ants who kept coming in and out deep in the cracks of the tree roots.
Although it is old, it can still be seen that this place has been burned by fire. Perhaps someone deliberately sets a torch to burn it into scorched earth.
But the fire that year did not destroy all these peach trees.
There are many charred peach root cracks, clusters of peach branches showing tender buds, and morning dew condenses between the leaf veins, refracting rainbow light under the setting sun.
"General, there is a situation!"
The scout's exclamation alarmed the crows.
The newest ⊥小⊥小⊥ said⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"General!" The scout came to report, with dew condensed on the armor leaves, "The prefect of Zhuo County led the soldiers and officials in the city to surrender!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bao immediately turned around and walked out of the ancestral house, turned over and came to the official road.
Not long after, the first thing I saw was that two big flags were raised on the official road - the left one read "The Liu family in Zhuo County returned to the Han throne" and the right one read "The Lu family in Fanyang welcomed the royal army."
The prefect of Zhuo County was wearing white clothes and holding a seal and ribbon, walking in front.
The old man on the left behind was Liu Qi, the Liu clan, with his clothes and tears in his eyes. He held the faded Han Dynasty flags. The embroidered characters of the originally vermilion-red "Zhongshan Jingwang" on the flag were already soaked black.
On the right is Lu Gui, the head of the Lu family, wearing a deep Xuanduan robe, a Jinxian crown, and a nine-inch jade gui on his forehead.
Behind the two, the black clothes and high crowns on the right, and the mai clothes and plain clothes on the left, clearly divided like yin and yang.
After the prefect Fan Yang knelt down and gave him a seal, an old woman staggered out from the left-handed mahjong team, holding Zhang Bao's stirrup with his dry hands: "Is it a descendant of Huanhou?"
Facing the old woman who was lined up by Liu's family, Zhang Bao did not dare to be too arrogant, so he quickly got out of the horse, helped the old woman up, and said in a gentle voice:
“That’s right.”
"That's great, great! Finally, the King of Han has finally arrived... Liu Xuande did not forget us! We are looking forward to it day and night, and this day is what we hope for..."
The old woman shed tears and trembled her lips: "I am Liu Deran's wife..."
Who is Liu Deran?
Zhang Bao seemed a little familiar with the name, but he couldn't remember where he had heard of it for a while.
Liu Qi, the old Liu clan, saw that Zhang Bao was a little embarrassed and confused, and hurried forward and explained softly:
"In the past, Liu Yuanqi, a member of the same clan who studied with Emperor Zhaolie (i.e., Lu Zhi), was the father of Liu Deran at that time..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Bao had already "oh" and signaled that he had already remembered it.
He may not know about Liu Deran, but when he talks about Liu Yuanqi, he will know about it.
There are mulberry trees on the fence in the southeast corner of the former house of Emperor Zhaolie. They see the boys like a small car hood in the distance.
When I was young, I played with the children in the sect under a tree and said, "I must ride this feather-covered carriage."
Uncle Liu Yuanqi suddenly said, "This child is a very human!"
Because he saw that Xuande's family was poor, he often paid him money and followed Deran and others.
It can be said that with Emperor Zhaolie's family background when he was young, he was able to go out to study and became a disciple of Lu Zhi. Liu Deran's father made great efforts.
Zhang Bao looked at the Liu clan, but saw that they were all coarse cloth and many of them were even barefoot.
Although he knew that the cavalry in front of him, with distinctive armor was under the command of the Emperor of Han, most of these people still looked timid. Although there was desire in their eyes, they did not dare to look at Zhang Bao.
You can tell at a glance that it is the lower class people.
Zhang Bao was moved and suddenly asked:
"Will the mulberry trees in Dixiang still be there?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent.
Then, a crowd of people in Mai had been crying for decades.
In the past four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the Liu clan was spread all over the world. After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, he did not deliberately treat the Liu clan to show his tolerance.
Just like Liu Ye, although he was from a relative of the Liu clan, he served as the Shizhong in the pseudo-Wei Dynasty, which is highly valued.
The only one in Zhuo County is an exception.
But it is just because Zhuo County is the imperial town.
The Liu family in Zhuo County had long been disintegrated, and many people even changed their names and surnames, scattered their wealth, and left their hometowns.
The fire is flowing in July, and a cool breeze blows by, but the prefect of Fanyang is already sweating.
Liu Deran's wife burst into tears, as if she wanted to vent her grievances over the years:
"It's gone, it's gone! The mulberry tree, the former residence of Emperor Zhaolie, had long been cut off by the Cao thief, and even the roots were dug out..."
Zhang Bao helped the old woman up and comforted her:
"You don't have to be sad. If the thief Cao dares to cut down the mulberry trees in the former residence of Emperor Zhaolie, they will regret what they did in the past."
The old woman wiped her tears tremblingly, with a light of hope in her eyes:
"The Emperor of Han sent a general to Hebei. Did he say that our Han Dynasty is going to prosper again?"
Zhang Bao nodded:
"That's right. This time I led the army to go south to clean up the thieves and restore Hebei. Don't worry, there will be no pseudo-Wei in the future, there will be only one big man."
Some of the Liu clan members who were still crying were crying even harder when they heard this, while others cried even more.
After appeaseing the Liu clan, Zhang Bao looked at the Lu clan who had been standing quietly beside him without saying anything.
"Since Huang Chu's rebel thieves usurped the throne, the elders of Zhuo County looked south at the king's army day and night!"
Lu Gui's white beard trembled in the wind, and he put his hands on the jade gui:
"My nephew Lu Yu, who once served under the pseudo-Wei Taifu, was sent to the east to meet Sima Feng a few days ago."
"Sima Feng asked my nephew to bring the message back, saying that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was kind and caring about his old love. When Lu heard about it, he was happy."
"I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that the Grand Sima's voice was still in his ears, and the general had already led the army! The heavenly soldiers were so fast that the Lu family failed to come out in time to greet them, and they died ten thousand times, ten thousand times!"
When Zhang Bao heard this, he couldn't help but show his surprise.
Unexpectedly, when his brother-in-law was still confronting Sima Yi in Jingxing, he had quietly extended his tentacles here.
However, when he thought of Feng's nickname, he felt that this was reasonable.
"Oh, it turns out that your Lu family had contact with that, cough, Grand Sima, well, where is your nephew?"
When Lu Yu heard Zhang Bao’s question, he looked embarrassed and was a little stuttered:
"General, I am sorry for my nephew, who brought the words of the Grand Sima back to the clan. I didn't know that the Grand Sima had other arrangements, so I went back to Jingxing."
