"Prime Minister, I have just discussed this matter with Bo Yue privately."
After getting Jiang Wei's signal, Guan Xing did not shirk and said with a smile, "Both of us think that it is better for our army to follow the previous plan and capture Chencang City. As for Sun Wu's inability to contain the rebel forces for our Han Dynasty, we
The army only needs to slightly adjust its deployment."
After saying this, Guan Xing paused, and finally couldn't help but sneered and added, "The rats from the east of the Yangtze River are incompetent! I am no longer trapped in the same situation as when I was trapped in Bashu in the past. I can break through it alone with or without their help."
Defy Wei and return to the old capital!"
"Haha~~"
Hearing this, the Prime Minister couldn't help shaking his head and chuckled a few times.
Among the Han people, the person who hated and despised Sun Wu the most was none other than Guan Xing.
Nothing but the old hatred between the country and the family.
Therefore, the prime minister ignored what he said next. After he returned to the military tent and sat down, he asked directly, "Why do both Anguo and Boyo think it would be better if our army does not stop temporarily? And how to adjust the deployment?
Is there any failure to contain Jiangdong? Anguo can explain in detail."
"promise."
Guan Xing, who was already seated, responded respectfully, "Prime Minister, Bo Yue and I secretly believe that our army will proceed as planned this year. There are three reasons for this."
"First, although Sun Wu was defeated, he eventually ordered the Luoyang army to travel thousands of miles to fight against the Wei Dynasty. Judging from the route back to the army and the rest time, they will not be able to enter Guanzhong this year. It can also be said that our army is now breaking camp.
If we besiege Chencang City, we don't have to worry about the rebellion from the Wei Dynasty. But if our army withdraws and goes back, and besieges Chencang again the next year, I'm afraid they will already be well prepared, making it difficult for our army to advance."
"Secondly, it is due to the strategic layout. Our army intends to widen the Wei River Valley, and the intention of marching into the Wei River has been revealed. The enemy must be aware of the rebellion against Wei. If it is not implemented as soon as possible, it may lead to changes. The so-called
That moment, this moment, and vice versa. Therefore, both Peter and I thought it was better to advance than to retreat at this time."
"Again, it's..."
At this point, Guan Xing paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Again, our army is afraid that it will be too late to stop and return. General Hussar and Zijin also learned about the defeated army in Jiangdong, but there is still no news
I wrote a letter to ask for instructions... I secretly thought that because of the character of the Hussars General who has always been diligent in royal affairs, he may have already driven his troops southward!"
Well!?
After hearing this, the Prime Minister was slightly stunned.
Immediately he also smiled.
Indeed, judging from Wei Yan's temperament, after learning about the military situation of Jiangdong's defeat, he would inevitably guess that the Prime Minister might want to temporarily stop the army and return home, so he would rush his troops south to finalize everything before the Prime Minister changed his mind.
fact.
Because once he led his troops to move south, the prime minister would definitely not let his soldiers travel again.
After all, changing orders from morning to night and not using force at the same time will not only damage the spirit of the army, but also make the soldiers and generals privately complain.
Seeing that the Prime Minister had already understood, Guan Xing continued, "Prime Minister, Bo Yue and I feel that if it becomes a fact that the troops are besieging Chencang City this year, our army may slightly adjust its strategy. For example, besiege Chencang and establish self-sufficiency in the fields at Ganwei.
, and it can be done without too many soldiers and horses. It is better to return the divisions to Zijin and see if we can return the entire territory of Longdong to our Han Dynasty first."
As soon as Guan Xing finished speaking, Jiang Wei on the other side stood up and asked for help, "Prime Minister, as An Guo said, both of us intend to 'trap Chencang and recover Longdong'. If Chencang is trapped, we will rescue him."
When the rebel Wei army comes to defend, Zijin can attack Longdong. If Longdong can be attacked, our army's front can threaten the heart of Guanzhong and Chang'an City. By then, the rebel Wei will return to help! It can also be said that whether there is a grandson or not
If Wu is restrained, our army can give Wei Kong a military advantage, but it will inevitably lead to the dilemma of focusing on one and not the other because there are too many places to defend! Prime Minister, I have been supervising the troops in Longyou and Hexi all the year round, and I think I have little strength.
Please feel free to ask yourself to help Zijin."
"Boyo did not shy away from hardships, which is commendable!"
The Prime Minister nodded gently and expressed appreciation with a smile.
However, he did not comment on Guan Xing and Jiang Wei's suggestions and requests.
Instead, he tilted his head slightly, glanced outside the already dark military tent, waved his hand and said, "The dusk is already deep, you two go and have a twilight meal."
It also made Guan Xing and Jiang Wei look at each other.
After seeing the confusion in each other's eyes, they quickly followed the instructions and left.
"No, I'm happy to retire."
"No. Wei will retire first."
After leaving the Chinese military tent, I saw one of the soldiers on duty holding a food case, as if he had been waiting for a while.
Guan Xing, who had been guarding Hanzhong all year round and knew that the prime minister was now eating less and more meals, quickly waved his hand to urge the soldier holding the food table to enter his tent. He also pulled Jiang Wei to his own tent, "Boss, please come into my camp to have a meal. I will
The base camp is closer, and it will be more convenient if the Prime Minister calls us for reconsideration later."
"It's disrespectful."
Jiang Wei did not refuse, but as he walked away, he exposed Guan Xing with a smile, "The Prime Minister will not call us for reconsideration tonight. With the wisdom of Anguo, how could he not know that the Prime Minister is waiting for Zi Jin's letter to come?
, wait until we know whether the Hussars General has driven his troops south before making a decision?"
"Hey, you're boring!"
In response to this, Guan Xing had no idea that he had been exposed, but instead responded with a question.
He looked around for a moment, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and said, "Just as our army is about to leave camp, I want to have a few drinks with Bo Yue. Is it possible that I have to announce it in front of the Prime Minister's army tent?"
"Hahaha~~"
Jiang Wei laughed and waved his hand without sincerity, "Okay! Okay! What An Guo said makes sense, this is my fault~~"
Walk and laugh.
Not long after, it was time to set up the military tent.
After the two of them had finished eating, they each carried a bag of horse milk wine and chatted about various trivial matters about the war.
When the small wine bag was bottomed out and Jiang Wei was about to return to the military camp, he suddenly calmed down and asked, "Anguo, in your opinion, I have just asked you to go and help Zi Jin. Will the Prime Minister agree?"
Alas, indeed!
Hearing this, Guan Xing sighed in his heart.
He forced Jiang Wei to drink with him tonight because he knew Jiang Wei's concerns about asking for life - in his heart, he still blamed himself for Zhang Bao's death in battle.
Not even the big men have this thought.
For example, when he was young, he and Zhang Bao were both close servants of the emperor Liu Chan. They had a paternal friendship and had known each other day and night for many years. They were close friends, but he did not blame Zhang Bao's death on Jiang Wei's arrangements.
Perhaps, this is the so-called confusion of the authorities.
"In my opinion, it shouldn't be."
After being silent for a while, Guan Xing said bluntly when he got up to escort him out of the camp, "After Meng Jianjun returned to Hanzhong, the prime minister of the Tiger Infantry Army has been transferred to Boyue to lead the army. How can he change the order and let Boyue leave in the morning and evening?"
But after saying that, before Jiang Wei could say anything, he added, "The general died in a hundred battles and his body was returned wrapped in horse leather. This is the fate of the men in our army. Wen Rong's death was not a fault of the battle. Bo Yue should not be resentful of this."
If you really can't let go of Bo Yue, then work harder to get back to the past, and shoulder the unfinished work as a civil servant."
