Chapter 745: Feeling the beating in the military camp
In fact, in addition to Liu Bei himself being particularly eager for talents, another reason why Liu Bei recruited Zhang Song was Zhuge Liang's reminder.
At this moment, Liu Bei's army is wandering near Yong'an. The Yong'an garrison who has not received the news yet dares to let Liu Bei into Xichuan - but if Liu Bei is willing, he can actually follow the mountain road to bypass all the checkpoints and go directly.
Arrive at the gate of Chengdu.
All this is thanks to the painting presented by the proud man Zhang Song.
Yes.
The map of Xichuan that was supposed to be presented to Cao Cao was Zhang Song's trump card, but he didn't even see anyone at Cao Cao's place, so he grabbed the map and ran to Liu Bei.
Coupled with Liu Bei's crying attitude, before Zhang Song left, he directly handed over the map of Xichuan to Liu Bei.
This... is actually Zhuge Liang's biggest basis for helping Liu Bei win Yizhou in the future.
Knowing one's self and knowing one's enemy is the best way to win a hundred battles. Liu Zhang would never have imagined that he would be betrayed so completely by his subordinates. Zhang Song was so unlucky that he just had to tell Liu Bei the color of the underpants he wore every day.
——
But none of this will affect the current progress of the alliance between Liu Zhang and Liu Bei.
About five days have passed——
In the Chang'an Prefecture, Cao Cao finally received the news he had been waiting for for a long time.
But the outrageousness of the news was somewhat beyond his expectation.
"Liu Zhang, this straight bitch, was actually bribed by a bunch of grapes!?"
"Back to Prime Minister! It's not a bunch, I heard it's a box..."
The soldier who reported the news only told the truth, and even went out of his way to correct Cao Cao's mistakes.
But even a box of…
"Prime Minister, please calm down. This matter is still expected. As for the grapes, they are just an introduction. This time Liu Bei goes to form an alliance with Liu Zhang. As long as the Prime Minister is still in Chang'an, no matter what Liu Bei sends to Liu Zhang, he will agree."
Xun You was holding back his laughter and explained in a serious manner.
Yes - everything is actually as expected, except for the box of grapes.
Many people think that the conclusion that Liu Bei and Liu Zhang were about to form an alliance came from Shuixie Study, Pang Degong and a certain young scholar who shined that day. In fact, it was probably a month or two before Cao Cao's troops were dispatched.
Some time ago, someone wrote this in a letter.
That letter was naturally the letter that Yi Xiaotian asked his subordinates to send to Xu Du with the horseshoe.
Therefore, in fact, the troops Cao Cao brought this time had already taken into account the factors of Liu Bei and Liu Zhang joining forces.
But apart from all this, this was the first time Cao Cao knew about the alliance just for such a bloody reason.
"That's what I said... The army just arrived in Chang'an yesterday and has not yet finished resting. It will take two days before the army is actually deployed. But if the army is not on the road, the truth will be unsettled."
"Prime Minister, you can rest assured. Today I saw Jiang Wan handling military affairs under the tent. He seems to have the posture of Xun Lingjun. Since he is highly recommended by Mr. Yi, he must have many abilities that we don't know about..."
"Well, with Xun Lingjun's demeanor, it's really limitless."
Not including the news just received today, in fact, after getting along with the young Jiang Wan in the past few days, not only Cao Cao and Xun You had a great change in his view of him, but also Jiang Wan, who had previously disliked Jiang Wan in the army.
Brother Xiahou gradually began to be impressed by this young man's seriousness.
——
Two days ago…
Outside Chang'an City, in the military tent.
Cao Cao was not in the commander's office. After all, he had left all military affairs to Jiang Wan. Firstly, it was to comply with Yi Xiaotian's intention to train Jiang Wan. Secondly, it was to see if this Jiang Wan was really what Yi Xiaotian had guaranteed.
.
Trust is trust, but strength must speak for itself in everything.
…
snap——
From the flow of people coming and going outside the tent, a few more soldiers came to the tent carrying a large amount of paperwork that needed to be arranged.
In front of the mountain of documents, the two soldiers couldn't even see Jiang Wan's person.
After putting down the document, the two people hurriedly fled the scene. Before leaving, they did not forget to say:
"Thank you for your hard work, General..."
As for what kind of general the other party was, they didn't see clearly.
As soon as they came out of the tent, the pawns who were one of the insiders couldn't help but gloated a little. One of them shrank down and snickered:
"Have you seen it clearly? I have never seen so many documents and documents in my life. For the new general to deal with these things within five days, General Xiahou and the others have to check the account every day.
I have been discussing with this new general for a long time...I heard...I heard that they are going to target this new general..."
"What kind of general is he? No, what is his background? I accidentally caught a glimpse of this man before. He is definitely no more than twenty-five years old. He looks like a young scholar. How did he become a general? He shouldn't be Prime Minister Cao
Is it a bait specially released to fool the enemy?"
Some people were also confused because they had just arrived in Chang'an two days ago. On the day they arrived in Chang'an, Xun You announced in the army that a general named Jiang would take over the post of general before the war——
For several days, everyone has been discussing this person's identity.
"Only twenty-five? Are you mistaken? How can there be such a young general in the Prime Minister's army? I heard that a young general with great archery skills appeared in Mr. Yi's village, but I only found out after asking about it.
He is actually the youngest son of Xiliang Iron Horse General Teng - apart from that, I have never heard of such a young general."
"Who knows... but the things that made things difficult for this person are definitely true. If this person fails to handle so many military affairs, when the army sets off in five days, this will be a major delay in the military aircraft... More seriously, it will..."
The soldier made a gesture on his neck, and several people who had gathered around him to gossip couldn't help but shrink their necks, as if they felt the same.
"Hey! What are you doing! You are lazy here during the training time. If there is another time, military law will take care of you!"
But that's all, because suddenly a loud voice came from beside several people, which scared several pawns and ran away from the scene like crazy.
While running away, they apologized to the man:
"General...you...don't be angry! We're going...we're going to train right now!"
General——
The crowd dispersed, leaving only a one-eyed man standing there. Although his tone sounded angry just now, judging from his expression, he was actually quite comfortable now.
Passing by the coach's tent by chance, Xiahou Dun glanced inside without leaving a trace, only to find that the piles of papers had already blocked the pretty boy who didn't even lower his head in front of him in the past two days.
Can't see it anymore.
Refreshing.
Xiahou Dun chuckled twice and ignored him. Giving this person so many documents was a joint decision between Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan and Cao Zhen.
Although Zhang He and Xu Huang did not approve of their approach, they did not object to it either.
In other words, Jiang Wan was actually resisted by all the generals of the westward march.
Xiahou Dun didn't feel the slightest bit guilty about this.
Yes, although he heard Cao Cao say that this man was a man of great talent, but... he could not understand what the Prime Minister said, because he decided to put this man above all the generals in the first battle just because he was a man of great talent.
In his view, no matter how talented you are, if you don't have actual combat experience, it is nothing more than talking on paper.
