Mi Han

Chapter 536 Two Major Arrangements for Ivy to Follow

Chapter 536

In the wide military tent, in sharp contrast to Cao Wei's monarchs and ministers, the faces of the great Han monarchs and ministers are full of joyful smiles.

This can't be blamed for the poor cultivation of Qi by the emperor and ministers of the Han Dynasty. It can be said that there has been a lot of good news recently.

Before the official expedition, everyone had expected that the Longyou area would be in a state of shock in the face of the arrival of a large number of Han troops by surprise.

But no matter how much they expected, they definitely did not expect it. After they led the army out of Qishan, they had not yet fought the enemy, and the three counties of Longyou directly begged for surrender.

You know, there are only five counties in Longyou.

With Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding counties among the five counties all surrendering, only Guangwei and Longxi counties in the Longyou area can resist, and they have not yet been included in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

The land of the three counties was won without bloodshed. How could such a great victory not make the Han monarchs and ministers not happy?

Especially Liu Bei.

When he visited the thatched cottage three times back then, Zhuge Liang mentioned a sentence when he explained the "Longzhong Dui" to him: "The general led the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan. How dare the common people not eat the pot of milk to welcome the general?"

At that time, although Liu Bei admired Zhuge Liang's strategic conception very much, and he was looking forward to that scene, but Liu Bei also knew in his heart that it would be extremely difficult to achieve this.

People's hearts are sneaky, if there is no general trend, how can there be such a scene that is enough to be recorded in the annals of history?

But for more than ten years, the general trend has been on Cao's body.

But he didn't expect that today, more than ten years later, he would actually do this.

There is no Han emperor who would not be happy about such a thing, because it means that the man's destiny is still alive.

In history, Liu Bei never waited for the opportunity to "lead the people of Yizhou from Qinchuan" in his life.

Not to mention the joy of being "welcome with a pot of rice and milk".

I think Liu Bei must have regretted this incident before he died in history.

But Liu Bei in this life has no such regret and resentment at all.

Looking at the courtiers in the tent, Liu Bei said loudly: "Now our army has occupied Tianshui County for the first time, in order to prevent bandits from coming to help, I want to send a general to guard Jieting.

I don't know which lover is willing to go? "

Joy is joy, but Liu Bei has been ups and downs for decades, and his mind has matured long ago.

I will not delay or despise the business because of joy.

After hearing Liu Bei's inquiry, the faces of all the Han officials in the military tent were eager to try.

Most of the Han officials in the military tent are people who are familiar with military strategy.

Even if they don't understand military strategy, there is still Mi Yang.

As early as when Mi Yang was still at Yangping Pass, he had publicly exhorted the importance of Guojieting to the Longyou battlefield.

Asked more than once.

As the No.1 general in the world today, who would not pay attention to what even he should pay attention to?

Besides, judging from the map, Jieting does play a vital role in the current Longyou battlefield.

In terms of terrain, Jieting is roughly located at the junction of Tianshui County and Anding, which is an important hub for Guanzhong to enter Longyou.

Of course, if it's just that, it won't make you Hanchen eager to try.

No matter how important the location of the street pavilion is, if the situation in the three counties is stable, the street pavilion located at the junction of Tianshui County and Anding County does not need to be guarded by generals.

Because it is impossible for the Wei army to cross most of Anding County to compete for the street pavilion at the risk of food roads.

But the current situation in the three counties is actually not stable.

The main reason why the three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding surrendered was that the prefects and important officials of the three counties fled directly after hearing the news of the arrival of the Han army.

As a result, the counties in the three counties fell into a state of confusion.

Therefore, in order to protect the environment and the people, the elders of most of the county towns in the three counties could only send representatives to look for Liu Bei on their own initiative, expressing their willingness to surrender.

But it is only a part of the counties, and there are still some counties in the three counties who are unwilling to surrender to the Han army.

For example, Jiang Wei, a young general in the Han army, wanted to go to Ji County to fetch his mother back not long ago, but when he arrived at the city, he was shot away by random arrows from the Wei army on the city.

Among the three counties, there are many counties like Ji County.

So in essence, the surrender of the three counties is not reliable. This kind of surrender is guaranteed. For a period of time, the three counties will not take the initiative to have the Wei army come out to attack the Han army.

However, this guarantee may be repeated at any time according to changes in the situation.

This is why Liu Bei would rather lead his army to camp outside the city than to lead his army into the county seat.

So in this situation, the task of going to defend the street pavilion is very fragrant.

Because when the three counties are not completely surrendered, the importance of Jieting will inevitably attract a large number of Wei troops to fight for it.

If there are more Wei troops, won't there be more military exploits?

What's more, the current Han army firmly holds the initiative, which means that they will definitely arrive at Jieting and set up camp before the Wei army.

This is not a small advantage for the defensive side.

Under such circumstances, which Hanchen would not be moved by the matter of guarding the street pavilion?

Only Ma Chao, who was sitting in a corner, did not show any emotion on his face.

Anyway, he knew about this kind of thing, no matter what his turn, it would never be his turn.

It is already a kind of rare luck for him to be able to go out with the army this time and participate in the discussion in the account.

With Ma Chao silent, Zhao Yun was the only general with the highest status in the tent.

Not long ago, due to the victory of the Han army in the Battle of Nanzhong, Liu Bei took advantage of the opportunity to reward some generals who participated in the Battle of Nanzhong.

As the deputy general in the battle of Nanzhong, Zhao Yun's official position got a jump.

From Zhengnan General, he was directly promoted to Rear General.

Officially entered the ranks of heavy generals.

Zhao Yun, who was dressed in silver armor, stood out from among the ministers first, and bowed to Liu Bei:

"The minister is willing to go!"

Zhao Yun's speech is still so concise.

But his three words gave people an inexplicable sense of security.

Seeing Zhao Yun taking the lead in pleading for orders, Liu Bei smiled even more.

Zhao Yun has a calm and steady personality, and he is indeed very suitable for leading the army to garrison the Jieting.

But unfortunately, he has other arrangements for Zhao Yun.

Liu Bei smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, don't be impatient, I have other great uses for you."

Hearing what Liu Bei said, Zhao Yun was a little surprised.

Seeing Zhao Yun's surprised expression, Liu Bei went on to say: "Longxi, the two counties of Guangwei and Wei are fighting against each other, and I will lead troops to attack them soon.

The two counties separate the east and west, and I intend to take the lead in attacking Longxi.

After my army leaves, Tianshui County needs a general to sit behind me. "

After Liu Bei explained, Zhao Yun just reacted.

The most important thing for the Han army at the moment is to capture the two counties of Longxi and Guangwei as soon as possible, so that Liu Bei can go further north and recover the entire Liangzhou without any worries.

But once Liu Bei leads the main force of the Han army to attack Longxi County, two important things must be paid attention to.

One is to send troops to guard the street pavilion, preventing Wei army reinforcements from entering the street pavilion.

The other is that the back road of the Han army in Tianshui County also needs to be guarded by a general leading an army.

Because the back road of the Han army in Tianshui County is where the Han army's grain road is located.

And in the case that Guangwei County did not surrender, the Wei army's iron cavalry could easily threaten the Han army's grain road.

For any large army, the food road is a vital lifeline, and it is impossible for Liu Bei not to send troops in advance to prepare for it.

In a way, the importance of the defense line from Tianshui County to Guangwei County was still faintly above the Jieting defense line.

And this line of defense has no danger to defend, much more difficult to defend than Jieting.

Because of this, Liu Bei had already made a decision in his heart about the general who would guard the back road, and he didn't want to discuss it like Jieting.

That candidate was Zhao Yun from the beginning.

After all, the ace general should naturally be used in more important and difficult places.

And Liu Bei asked Zhao Yun to undertake this task, not only because Zhao Yun's prudent and steady style is suitable for this task, but also because Zhao Yun is the general who is best at cavalry combat among the generals he can trust at the moment.

At present, there is an elite Qiangdi cavalry army in the Han army, and Liu Bei needs Zhao Yun to lead this cavalry army to resist the harassment of the Wei army cavalry on the grain road in the future.

After making arrangements for Zhao Yun, Liu Bei looked at Ma Chao again.

"Meng Qi, you should stay and assist Zilong, and guard the food road for our army!"

Hearing Liu Bei's arrangement suddenly, Ma Chao was quite surprised for a while.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei would still think of using him.

Excited, Ma Chao hurriedly stood up and bowed to Liu Bei, "I take orders."

After Ma Chao took the order, Zhao Yun also took over the task naturally.

The reason why Liu Bei asked Ma Chao to stay and assist Zhao Yun was because he wanted to give Ma Chao a chance to make contributions.

Second, Ma Chao is very familiar with the terrain of Longyou, and he himself has great prestige among the Qiang Di cavalry army. With his assistance to Zhao Yun, he can guarantee the safety of the Han army's food roads to the greatest extent.

As for why not let Ma Chao take on this important task alone?

In addition to Ma Chao's lack of calmness and trust issues, Ma Chao's serious injury has not fully recovered, so he is currently unable to carry out high-intensity cavalry raids alone.

Therefore, arranging him in the assistant position is an arrangement that can take all aspects into consideration.

After deciding on the person to guard the rear, Liu Bei inspected the generals present again.

Under Liu Bei's inspection, another general quickly came out to pay homage to Liu Bei:

"The minister is willing to go to guard the street pavilion!"

The general who came out at the moment was none other than General Zhengbei Liu Feng.

Liu Fengcai wanted to recommend himself, but Zhao Yun took the lead.

Fortunately, Liu Bei had other plans for Zhao Yun.

After Zhao Yun was arranged by Liu Bei to stay behind to guard the back road, Liu Feng realized belatedly that he should have fought for this important task in the first place.

Because obviously in Liu Bei's mind, the task of guarding the back road is more important than the task of guarding the street pavilion.

To be honest, at first Liu Feng forgot that he still had this important task.

This is not only the case with Liu Feng, but also most of the other Han officials.

There is no way, Mi Yang has been instilling the importance of street pavilions to everyone. Under the influence of Mi Yang's prestige, many people subconsciously pay attention to street pavilions.

However, since Liu Bei's dictatorship of the Sacred Heart has determined the candidates for the generals who will defend the back road, then he must fight for the candidates for the defense of Jieting.

Liu Bei was not at all surprised to see Liu Feng can't wait to stand up from the ranks of the ministers.

He knew that since Liu Feng was released by him, he had been thinking of making meritorious deeds to wash away his past mistakes.

The most important thing is that if he can release Liu Feng, he is naturally willing to give Liu Feng this opportunity.

Seeing that Liu Feng had taken the initiative to stand up, the officials gradually calmed down the pleading hearts on many people's faces.

The same goes for Wei Yan.

Wei Yan is currently the general of Zhenbei, and his ranking among the famous generals in the Han Dynasty changes according to the actual situation.

During the war, Liu Feng's general who conquered the north was ranked above Wei Yan's general who conquered the north.

Whether public or private, it is not suitable for him to come out and compete with Liu Feng at this time.

And if Wei Yan is concerned about this, what about other people?

Liu Bei looked at Liu Feng standing in front of him. In private, he was Liu Feng's father, but in business, he was Liu Feng's monarch.

"Are you sure you will hold the street pavilion for me?"

Liu Bei asked.

After listening to Liu Bei's inquiry, Liu Feng couldn't wait to raise his head and replied:

"Your Majesty, have you not seen the Jiange?"

Liu Feng's answer fully revealed his confidence.

And his words also caused everyone in the tent to nod frequently.

After all, Liu Feng is not Ma Di, and he has never had any military exploits.

Even if you don't mention the military exploits you made before being imprisoned, just say that when you defended the Jiange before, Liu Feng also guarded the Jiange as solid as gold.

With such a good record, Liu Feng's words are quite convincing.

Even Liu Bei had nothing to hesitate.

Jieting is like Jiange, both have dangers to defend, and Liu Feng is a man who knows soldiers, so it is normal to send Liu Feng to guard Jieting.

Liu Bei quickly settled the matter.

"Okay, since Qing asked for orders, I will let Qing lead [-] troops to defend the street pavilion."

After giving this order, Liu Bei thought that Jieting might be a good place to make military achievements, so he continued to point out:

"Deng Ai, Ding Feng, Zhang Ni!"

Liu Bei named the names of the three generals one after another.

These three generals are all Mi Yang's confidants and favorite generals.

After hearing Liu Bei's call, the three of Deng Ai hurriedly stepped out of the ranks of the ministers and bowed to Liu Bei:

"Chen is here!"

After the three of Deng and Ai were called out, Liu Bei said to the three of them:

"I ordered the three of you to be the deputy generals of General Zhengbei, and guard the street pavilion together with General Zhengbei."

Liu Bei's words made the three of Deng Ai overjoyed.

This is a great opportunity that fell out of thin air!

Liu Bei is really a good father with a bowl of water. He not only thought of Liu Feng, but also thought of the subordinates of "Yizi".

The three of Deng and Ai did not guess wrong. The reason why Liu Bei wanted to add the three of them to Liu Feng's army was not because he thought that the battle at Jieting had to be the three of them.

Liu Bei's main purpose is to let the three of them continue to accumulate capital for future promotion with the help of Jieting.

Among other things, when it comes to training subordinates, Liu Bei is very familiar with it.

After finalizing the expedition list for garrisoning Jieting, Liu Bei issued an order for the whole army to move out to Longxi County three days later.

I heard that You Chu, the prefect of Longxi, is a tough guy, so he wants to have a good meeting for a while.

After the parliament dispersed, the generals left the army one after another.

The three of Deng Ai, who were also in the same group, quickly gathered together.

They gathered together to discuss one thing.

Now that they are going to go to Jieting with Liu Feng, should Jiang Wei take them with them?

With such an opportunity, it seems not good not to take the initiative to bring the "male favorite" of the general.

　YesterdayChapter 2.

　　In history, the reason why Zhuge Liang did not arrange Wei Yan and Wu Yi to guard Jieting was not only because he wanted to train Ma Su, but also because these two generals had more important places to go.

　　The reason why Jieting is famous is that it was all built by Ma Di, which does not mean that the Han army needs to guard this place.
