Chapter 0569 The invincible lies with oneself, the victorious lies with the enemy
"The former county captain of Nanxiang, Huang Chong."
When Feng Yong heard this, he was stunned for a moment and was surprised, "What does the Prime Minister want Huang Chong to do? He is the head of the Huang family, and he is not yet married. I originally thought of letting him stay in the rear and help transport food."
Although Dongfeng Express is usually very reliable, at this critical moment, of course, only by letting our brothers control the operation can we feel at ease.
Zhuge Liang did not answer directly. He just pondered for a moment and then said, "I once heard that when he was a county captain in Nanxiang, he was worried that Cao Cao's thieves would come up the river, so he arranged many strategic locations along the Han River.
Shaowu Fort?"
"And they also explored the Han River many times, and even sent people down the river to inspect the junction of Hanzhong and Wei?"
When Feng Yong heard this, he felt something was wrong in his heart, "That's right."
After receiving Feng Yong's answer, Zhuge Liang nodded, "I want to send a group of troops eastward along the Han River. Since Huang Chong is familiar with this waterway, it will be suitable to transfer him to this partial army."
Feng Yong jumped up immediately, "Prime Minister, this is not a suicide... No, is this not a suicide?!"
"Why are you panicking? Swimming down from Hanzhong, it is easy to go but hard to return. You are stuck on the ground. If you are in danger, you will be destroyed. How could I not know?" Zhuge Liang scolded, "I am doing this for my own sake.
reason."
"What's the point? Isn't it just that Meng Da has rebelled?" Feng Yong said unceremoniously, "This Meng Da is a villain over and over again! If he dies, he will die. Do we need our people to be buried with him?"
This is so fucking wrong!
This is not the Han Dynasty Prime Minister in my impression!
Could it be some kind of goblin pretending to be one?
Feng Yong looked at Zhuge Liang suspiciously. Did I stir up trouble and create a butterfly effect, making the old demon Zhuge's self-confidence too inflated and wanting to swallow it all?
If this really happened, it would be better to let old man Wei go to Ziwu Valley to die!
If you succeed in stealing the crystal, you will die.
Zhuge Liang was somewhat surprised when he looked at Feng Yong, who was staring at him suspiciously, and asked, "How did you know that Meng Da was going to rebel?"
Should I tell you that I know it from history books!
Feng Yong was not in the mood to talk to Zhuge Liang about this. He was full of anxiety and was thinking quickly about how to persuade Zhuge Liang to change his mind. Hearing this, he casually said angrily, "Guess."
Zhuge Liang was furious. He slapped the table with a bang and shouted, "In the army commander's tent, the commander is asking questions. If you don't answer me properly, believe it or not, I will beat you with thirty army sticks first? Just sit down!"
Just now you said it was not a military meeting and you let me do whatever you want, and now you call yourself the coach?
If we have the ability, let's fight fairly regardless of our position?
Feng Yong despised him in his heart, sat back angrily, and said gloomily, "The year before last, Li Hong from Wei came to surrender. When he talked about Meng Da, didn't the Prime Minister say that he would send a letter to him? Now he is sending troops eastward along the Han River.
I must have gone to pick him up."
At that time, as soon as Nanzhong was pacified, Jiang Wan personally escorted Li Hong, who had rebelled against Wei and defected to the Han, and mentioned Meng Da. At that time, Feng Yong also confirmed the idea of uniting with Meng Da.
It was that time that Feng Yong formally proposed to Zhuge Liang for the first time the strategic idea of taking Longyou first if he wanted to take Guanzhong (bragging).
But according to Feng Yong's intention, he planned to use Meng Da as cannon fodder, not to let his own people be cannon fodder!
After Zhuge Liang heard this, he looked at him with admiration. This boy's mind was quite clever.
"Do you think Meng Da can't do anything?"
"Of course not. How can he be Sima Yi's opponent?"
Feng Yongyong said without thinking.
"What if Sima Yi doesn't come in person?"
Zhuge Liang asked.
"What's the explanation?"
"Take a look." Zhuge Liang took out a letter and handed it over, "This is the letter sent by Meng Dacai."
Feng Yong took it and saw that the words written on it were pretty, but there were no sentence breaks, which made it very difficult to read.
After a long time, he finally understood what Meng Da meant, and immediately sneered, "If Meng Da really thinks this way, I'm afraid he will die faster."
"Tell me what you think." Zhuge Liang's expression remained unchanged, and he was still in the mood to pour himself a bowl of hot water and even put some tea leaves in it.
"Although the new city is in a remote place, it is connected to Hanzhong of the Han Dynasty to the west and Jingzhou of Soochow to the south. If the Cao thieves lose these dangerous places, then Xiangyang will not be protected."
"I still remember the incident when Guan Laojun forced Cao Cao to almost move the capital. How could Cao Cao easily forget it? For such a big event, Meng Da would even think that Sima Yi would not go there in person. It is really short-sighted."
Yes, back then Meng Da also advised Liu Feng not to listen to Guan Yu's orders. It seems that this man did not know what Xiangyang meant to Jingzhou.
Feng Yong endured his anxiety and explained, "Cao Cao has good horses and is best at running over long distances. Not to mention long distances, during the battle at Changbanpo, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry could travel three hundred miles in a day and night. After the late Emperor,
Disperse His Majesty and the late Emperor."
"Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is no longer around, Sima Yi is very resourceful and good at using soldiers. How could he not know that soldiers are more important than speed? How could he delay it for a month?"
"Even if the cavalry army in Sima Yi's hands is not as good as the tiger and leopard cavalry that can travel 300 miles a day, it only needs half of it. It can travel 150 miles a day, and it only takes eight days to reach 1,200 miles. In the meantime
Mengda is unprepared and is afraid of a quick defeat."
After Zhuge heard this, he looked at Feng Yong in surprise, "Few people, even veterans in the army, can say these words. I didn't expect you to see so clearly."
Then he said thoughtfully, "Yes, you should have really learned the art of war, otherwise how could you teach Zhao Guang and others how to train soldiers?"
When Feng Yong heard this, he almost collapsed on the spot!
I'm talking to you about Meng Da, boss!
This is so urgent, do you still have the mood to guess what I have learned?
"Looking at you like this, why are you so anxious? Don't worry, since you all know the situation of nine deaths, don't I know better? It's just a partial division, not a large army. If the Han River can't move a large army, can't it be a partial division?"
"If things go wrong, they can go back on their own and no one will let them die there."
Zhuge Liang spit out a piece of tea leaf and said calmly.
Feng Yong was startled, "How many people do you plan to send there, Prime Minister?"
"Three thousand people should come, no more, otherwise it will be difficult to retreat."
The Han Prime Minister said calmly.
"Then it's better not to send..."
"You know so much!"
Zhuge Liang glared at Feng Yong, "If we don't send troops, how can we strengthen Meng Da's determination to defend the city? How can we force Soochow to send troops? Is it possible to be successful if I keep thinking about that little thing in your eyes?"
"Soochow?"
"Of course it's Soochow." Zhuge Liang sneered, "I didn't know that Meng Da was a capricious villain? Back then, he was afraid of crime and rebelled against the Han Dynasty. Now he talks about returning to the Han Dynasty, while secretly communicating with Soochow Wu.
, it’s really disgusting.”
"Damn it! Isn't that the slave of the third surname?"
Feng Yong blurted out something violent.
There are only three companies in the world. Do you want to take turns changing jobs between the three companies? Do you really think you are a treasure? Even if you are a treasure, your boss would not dare to use it.
The repeated villain is an existence that is even more hateful than a wallflower.
When Zhuge Liang heard the words "house slaves with three surnames", he couldn't help but look sideways at Feng Yong: This reputation for clever words and seductiveness is indeed well-deserved, and these words are quite vicious.
I heard Zhuge Liang continue to say, "Hanzhong and Xincheng are separated by mountains and rivers. Now that he wants to return to the Han Dynasty, he just wants to use the Han Dynasty as a way out."
"He just returned to the Han Dynasty, so he was willing to give up his position as the governor of Xincheng? Moreover, the Han Dynasty now has no Jingzhou to echo it, so what is the difference between the Xincheng and the enclave? But for Soochow, it is an important place.
"
"So if Meng Da rebels, Soochow will definitely be more anxious than us. Then let them fight the Cao thieves, and we will go to Longshang."
This time it was Feng Yong's turn to look sideways at the Han Prime Minister.
This is basically Hong Guoguo's conspiracy. No matter how powerful Lu Xun is, he still has to follow the footsteps of Old Demon Zhuge.
Unless Soochow has no idea about Xiangyang - this is impossible.
"It's just that people like Soochow may not be willing to do their best to save Meng Da."
Feng Yong reminded him.
Feng Tubao has always been obsessed with the fact that Soochow cheated him on the sugar cane matter.
"In the past, those who were good at fighting were invincible first, waiting for the enemy to be victorious. The invincibility lies in oneself, and the victorious lies in the enemy. Therefore, those who are good at fighting can be said to be invincible, and they cannot make the enemy victorious. Therefore, it is said: Victory can be known
, but cannot do it.”
Zhuge Liang read a passage from Wenzhou, and then glanced at Feng Yong, "The military books make it so clear, are you still worried about this? Have you read the military books in vain?"
When Feng Yong heard this, he thought, can this be explained by "Sun Tzu's Art of War"?
"Now we have done what we can do. As for how Cao Thief and Soochow will deal with it, that is not something we can decide. What's the use of worrying?"
Zhuge Liang's face was calm, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.
Feng Yong thought for a while, and this statement... seemed to make some sense.
Especially a character like Lu Xun must have his own judgment.
If a big man acts too eagerly, it may be self-defeating.
At that moment, he could only sigh and said, "That's right."
In the final analysis, the big man's foundation is too weak and he needs to ask others for help.
Speaking of the art of war, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty remembered something again.
"In the past few years, I have asked you to read "Six Taoists", have you gained anything?"
"have it."
Feng Yong scratched his head and realized that he had gained a lot. At least he could understand what you meant by quoting scriptures just now.
"As a general, you must read "Sun Tzu", "Six Tao" and "Three Strategies". Since you have already studied "Six Tao", leading the troops this time is just an opportunity to confirm the essence of the text, you know?"
"I know." Feng Yong answered honestly, and then asked, "Who does the Prime Minister plan to send to lead the partial division heading eastward along the Han River?"
Asking questions in advance will help Huang Chong prepare.
"Li Yi."
"who?"
"Li Yi, the son of Governor Li of Nanzhong, surrendered. Li Yi followed you to Nanxiang in the early years. He was familiar with the situation and participated in quelling the rebellion in Nanzhong. In the past two years, he also assisted Zhao Guang in stationing in Ju County and led 3,000 people along the river.
Going down east, I think I'm qualified for the job."
"Furthermore, Li Yi is in the same situation as you just mentioned about Huang Chong. He is the eldest son of Governor Li, and he is not married. He is not suitable to follow Shanglong and lead the partial army eastward along the river. If something goes wrong, he can easily retreat. There is no danger.
.”
Feng Yong understood what he said and thought that Old Demon Zhuge was planning to let Wenxuan and Yizhi run over there to take a look at the scenery before running away!
After talking to Zhuge Liang, Feng Yong left the Chinese army's commander's tent and returned to his camp. He saw that the commander's camp flag had been erected, and the flag embroidered with a large "Feng" was flapping in the wind.
.
The soldiers were digging ditches and setting up strongholds around the camp according to the planned camp, with the commander's tent as the center.
Huang Chong learned that Feng Yong had returned to camp and hurriedly came to greet him. At the same time, Feng Yong unexpectedly met Li Yi.
"Why is Wenxuan here?"
Feng Yong asked in surprise.
"Back to brother, I was recalled from Ju by the Prime Minister a few days ago. I have been waiting for my brother to arrive."
Although Li Yi spoke slowly and slowly, there was excitement in his eyes.
"Brother, I heard from Wenxuan that he is now leading an army on his own."
Huang Chong also chimed in happily.
Feng Yong looked at Li Yi and asked, "Wenxuan already knows?"
Li Yi nodded.
Huang Chong saw the two of them playing riddles and was a little confused at the moment.
"It's cold outside, let's go back to the commander's tent first."
Feng Yong did not explain, but said to the two of them.
Feng Yong drank a bowl of hot water, then looked at Huang Chong and said, "When Yuexun's army arrives, the Prime Minister may have to make some arrangements, so you should be prepared early."
When Huang Chong heard this, he was immediately surprised, "The Prime Minister also knows about my younger brother?"
Feng Yong smiled and said, "How can the Prime Minister not know about the brothers who are by my side?"
In one sentence, you can show your confidence.
Zhao Guang, Li Yi, and Yang Wanwan led their troops to guard Ju County for nearly two years. Li Qiu was one of the few magistrates in the Han Dynasty.
Wang Xun and Huang Chong were Feng Yong's right and left-hand men in the past two years. They not only held the position of captain, but also served as the magistrate of Yuexun County.
These people are currently the core figures of Feng Yong's small group, and they are backed by the Xinghan Society, an increasingly large interest group.
If this Northern Expedition can really make a contribution, then the Nanxiang Clan Group in its embryonic stage will officially be born.
By then, although Feng Yong's status would not be comparable to that of those old military leaders, he would be unique among the second generation. Even Guan Xing and Zhang Bao might not have the confidence to speak with him.
Therefore, the small groups around Feng Yong, and the Xinghan Hui with the small group as the core, are extremely eager to take advantage of this rare opportunity of the Northern Expedition to push him, the spokesperson of the interest group, to the top.
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty saw this clearly, but he did not stop it, because the monster Xinghanhui was currently cooperating with him to squeeze and assimilate the aristocratic families in Shu, which was considered a good knife.
Feng Yong is one of the successors he selected. He is still too young and needs a push from behind.
Letting Li Yi and Huang Chong lead the troops to gain experience was actually helping Feng Yong from the side.
"But I don't know what the prime minister wants to arrange for my younger brother to do?"
Huang Chong asked.
Feng Yongxiao pointed at Li Yi, who was sitting next to him, "Wenxuan's tone is quite tight."
Li Yi has matured a lot in the past two years and has begun to grow a short, thick black beard. He smiled when he heard this and said, "How dare I say such nonsense without the Prime Minister's permission?"
Feng Yong nodded, "That's the truth. Let me tell you, Meng Da is going to rebel against Cao Cao, and the Prime Minister plans to send Wenxuan to lead his army down the river to respond. Didn't Yizhi explore the Han River in his early years?
?So you, as Wenxuan’s lieutenant, will go together.”
Huang Chong was shocked, "Brother, it's not that I'm afraid of death. It's just that the Han River is easy to go and difficult to return, and it's difficult for a large army to move, so we can only send a small number of soldiers. There is also Weixing County between Hanzhong and Mengda's new city."
"If you want to help Mengda, you must defeat the Cao thieves in Wei Xing County. They have a favorable geographical location. I have traveled a long way and am in a disadvantageous place. If I am not careful, I may be in danger of being annihilated."
"So just be careful." Feng Yong was very happy that Huang Chong had such insight. "The Prime Minister had no intention of saving Meng Da this time. He was just responding."
"As soon as you find that something is wrong, return immediately. Don't stay longer and put yourself in danger. Do you understand?"
After explaining the strategic intention of their trip in detail, Huang Chong suddenly realized, "In that case, I know how to do it."
The three brothers were discussing, and they heard that the soldiers came to report, and General Wang came to see them.
