Farmer of Shu Han

General Guan called the generals of the five armies to discuss matters, and the first to arrive was Guan Xing, the chief general of the Northern Army.

"General Guan, please go in, General Zhendong has been waiting for a long time."

Hearing this, Guan Xing took two steps forward, and then asked hesitantly:

"Is anyone else here?"

"General, no."

"Oh." Guan Xing nodded, "That's good."

After speaking, he stepped into the meeting hall.

It turned out that General Zhendong was sitting on the main seat thinking about something.

Seeing Guan Xing coming in and about to stand up, Guan Xing quickly stretched out his hand:

"Hey, don't do that, don't do that!"

Seeing that there was no one around, Guan Xing breathed a sigh of relief:

"Sanniang, you are General Zhendong, so it stands to reason that I should salute you when I come here."

"But I'm your elder brother. There is no one else at this time. You should say hello to me in private."

"How about this, we're even, even, I'll find a seat for myself, so don't be too polite."

As he said that, Guan Xing looked for a seat and sat down with a face full of constipation.

Seeing this, General Zhendong smiled slightly:

"Didn't Alang want his brother to be the Captain of Sili last year? Why is he not willing?"

In fact, when the army was restructured, A Lang suggested to his brother to give up his position as the chief general of the Northern Army.

One is to avoid taboos. After all, one Central Capital Protector governs the internal and external military, two brothers still control the North and South Army, and a loyal younger brother Zhao Sanqian leads the Tiger Cavalry Army.

These three armies are the absolute main force in defending Guanzhong.

If it wasn't for the surname of Zhang, the leader of the Southern Army, there would be a Mrs. You also surnamed Zhang in the Protectorate of the Central Capital.

I am afraid that no matter how benevolent the emperor is, he will be afraid in his heart.

So what General Zhendong said to Mrs. You just now is indeed from the heart.

If Mrs. You is really on the side of the Central Capital Protectorate, it is unclear.

Because of this, it will only lead to real suspicion of A Lang in the palace.

At that point, the relationship between Alang and the emperor over the years will soon be exhausted.

The person in the palace wanted to support Wei Yan in order to balance, so it can be explained.

It's a pity that the means were too hasty, and Wei Yan was even more disappointing!

At the beginning of the restructuring, A Lang suggested to his elder brother to give up his position as the chief general of the Northern Army and take up the post of captain of Sili. In fact, it was out of this consideration.

Sili Xiaowei is equivalent to the governor of Sizhou, and can be described as the top governor of the world.

Compared with serving as the leader of the Northern Army, it is considered a higher promotion.

Guan Xing smiled wryly:

"At that time, I thought that after the restructuring, I would be able to lead the Northern Army to make some military achievements, but I didn't expect that such things would happen so quickly..."

General Zhendong certainly understood.

After all, as a general, who wouldn't want to kill thieves and make meritorious service on the battlefield?

Guan Xing was silent for a while, and asked again:

"Sanniang, tell me the truth, are you sure about going this time?"

General Zhendong shook his head:

"Brother, you are also the leader of the army. If you know what happened before the battle, how can you say that you are sure to win?"

"However, in front of His Majesty, I guarantee that the east river will not be lost, but it is also true."

"Isn't the purpose of the thieves to lure the Southern Army back at Zhiguan?"

"Therefore, in my opinion, they must also be concerned about the sharpness of the big man's cavalry, so they dare not enter the Hedong Plain easily and compete with the big man."

"It's just the land of Shangdang..." General Zhendong pondered, then shook his head again, "Shangdang's terrain is complex, it is favorable for the cavalry to cross the flat land, and it is also favorable for the infantry to defend the mountain."

"If the army really wants to enter the Shangdang to compete with Sima Yi, even if it's A Lang, he can't say that he can be sure."

When Guan Xing heard this, he couldn't help showing a worried look on his face:

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. If you lead the army to the east of the river, if you don't arrive in plain sight, you must be careful and don't rush in."

General Zhendong heard another meaning from Guan Xing's words, and saw her frowning:

"Brother, what do you mean? Don't you want to lead the army with me this time?"

Guan Xing sighed:

"Sanniang's going here, it can be said that she is going to take the entire Chinese army away, and in addition, Mingwen will definitely rush there."

Having said that, he glanced outside subconsciously, and then continued:

"When the time comes, you and your wife will lead the Chinese army outside, and you will have the right to control the foreign army..."

Guan Xing didn't know what to say, and fell silent again:

"You should also know the story of Wang Jian leading the army of Qin to conquer Chu."

Some words, click to the end.

The couple, loyal younger brother, almost unlimited military power, Pingcheng in the north of Taiyuan is still a food city...

If you really want to, it will be a breeze to set up the mountain again.

Although my brother-in-law might not be able to say anything about it, but staying in Chang'an is still an attitude, right?

General Zhendong was silent, then nodded, and said slowly:

"My brother's consideration is also reasonable."

She looked at Guan Xing and asked again:

"Brother, didn't you always look forward to leading the army? This time, maybe it's a good opportunity, so why did you give up so willingly?"

"In my opinion, even if Brother wants to withdraw from the Northern Army, it won't be too late to retreat after this battle."

Guan Xing shook his head:

"Forget it, it's true to say that, but why should you be too full when you are a person and doing things?"

"If I win this battle, I'm afraid I won't be able to withdraw from the Northern Army in a short time."

How can there be any reason to change generals after winning a battle?

Even if the opinion of the general himself is not considered, don't the opinions of the soldiers below be considered?

"And if I lose, heck, of course, I don't think the big man will lose. I mean, if, if there is a real discrepancy, wouldn't I be the one who is incapable of leading the army and forced to leave?"

Guan Xing had little reputation, and it was not without reason that the Prime Minister still valued Guan Xing when the Guan family was despised by others in Shu.

Guan Xing opened his words, as if he finally let go of the stone in his heart, he shook his head:

"I was still unconvinced before. After all, you are a daughter and you are married to someone else. Even if you have the name of Guan Suo, you still have to let me do the revitalization of the Guan family."

"I don't know that if you look at it now, people in the world only know the name of Shiro Guan, but they haven't heard that there is another Guan Xing in the Guan family."

"In this army, I can't compare to you. It's better to withdraw as soon as possible and gain a foothold in the court."

"From now on, we two brothers and sisters, one civil and one military, can be regarded as a good story of the Guan family of the big man."

The feeling in General Zhendong's heart was a little complicated, but he couldn't help laughing out at the end.

"Brother can take it easy, but it's hard for my younger sister to say anything more. But I don't know who will lead the northern army if brother doesn't plan to go this time?"

Since Guan Xing had been considering this matter for a long time, he naturally decided:

"Pingbei General Ma Zhonghua (that is, Ma Dai, borrowed from the records of the Three Kingdoms), when the Northern and Southern Second Armies were first established, there were veterans of the Xiliang Army."

"Although there are not many left in these years, the cavalry brought by the Ma family from Liangzhou played a lot in the establishment of the Northern and Southern Army."

"Now Ma Zhonghua is the Sima of the Northern Army. It is just right for him to lead the army and follow you to Hedong."

"Well, General Pingbei?"

General Zhendong pondered for a moment, his eyes flickered, and finally nodded slowly:

"It's a good candidate."

The reason why he is a good candidate is not only because of Ma Dai's status as an old man in the army.

Also because of Ma Dai's identity.

Ma Shi, the daughter of the Marquis of Xixiang (that is, Ma Chao), married King Anping (that is, Liu Li, Liu Chan's younger brother).

And the wife of Old General Zhao is Zhao Mashi who dotes on Zhao Sanqian.

Obviously, Ma Dai is a candidate acceptable to many parties.

At this moment, only the guards outside shouted:

"General Zhao of the Tiger Cavalry Army is here!"

The two looked up, and Zhao Guangzheng entered the conference hall with a brisk footstep.

When Zhao Guang learned that he could lead the army this time, his face was full of excitement, and he wished he could fly when he walked.

But when he saw General Guan on the main seat, it was as if someone grabbed the back of his neck:

"The last general pays his respects to General Zhendong!"

"sit down."

"Thank you General!"

Afterwards, Zhang Yi, the leader of the Wuwei Army, Zhang Jiu, the leader of the Wuqian Army, and Hu Zun, the leader of the Tuchen Army, also came one after another.

It is easy to understand why Zhang Yi served as the chief general of one of the Eighth Armies of the Chinese Army.

This person was not only from a rich family in Shu, but also joined the great Han when the first emperor pacified Shu.

He successively served as the prefect of Zitong, Guanghan and Shu counties.

In the end, he served as the governor of Yijiang. Although the law enforcement was too strict during the period, it caused a rebound from the southern Zhongyi people, and the court had to recall him to the court.

But there is no doubt about his loyalty to the country.

As for Zhang Jiu, he was the representative of the Liangzhou clan.

Zhang Jiu's father, Zhang Gong, had a long-standing reputation in Liangzhou and was deeply supported by Liangzhou officials. Finally, he led Liangzhou officials to surrender to the Han.

Zhang Jiu was tough and staunch, and was entrusted by the imperial court to go to the Western Regions for several years.

It not only maintained the prestige of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, but also kept the Silk Road open.

After he came back from the Western Regions, he brought back a lot of Pegasus Horses from the Western Regions, injecting fresh blood into Dahan's horse farm.

When some wealthy clans in Liangzhou had two hearts, they resolutely supported the big man and did not hesitate to cleanse the clan.

It can be said that he has a clear stand and has withstood various tests.

As for Hu Zun, he can be regarded as the representative of the big clan in Guanzhong.

Hu Zunnai came from the Anding Hu family, and was forced to surrender by Feng Duhu during Xiaoguan's first battle.

However, although he was a surrendered general, at the most critical moment in the battle of Xiaoguan, he unexpectedly decided to live and die with Anding when the Wei army counterattacked.

It is estimated that even he himself did not think that this decision of his not only saved the Anding Hu family, but also allowed him to gain a foothold in the big man.

Hu Zun served as the chief general of the Tuchen Army, although he was considered a big man who wanted to set an example in Guanzhong as soon as possible.

But it is also enough to prove that the big man trusts him.

Seeing that everyone was here, General Zhendong said slowly:

"The military situation is urgent, so I won't talk nonsense. Presumably everyone has heard about Shangdang."

"Shangdang is in critical condition now, and there is no one who can immediately rescue Shangdang than the armies led by all of you here."

"That's why I ask His Majesty to lead the Chinese army to save the Shangdang. The main reason for calling you here is to inform you of this matter."

Although they were mentally prepared, Zhang Yi and the others were still a little surprised when General Zhendong said it himself.

"General Zhendong, is it true that our Wuwei Wudang attacked Chen Sanjun, and we also want to follow?"

"That's right!"

Zhang Yizhang and Hu Zun looked at each other in blank dismay.

General Zhendong swept his eyes: "Is there any question?"

"But the generals, the military guards and the other three armies are not complete yet..."

"But the thieves never discuss it with you, and they will only attack when you are all ready."

General Zhendong's eyes were sharp:

"Jiang Shangshu also has some concerns, saying that your three armies have insufficient training. If you just take it over like this, it might become a burden."

"But I told him that elite pawns are never made by training, but by fighting!"

Her gaze flicked over the three of them one by one:

"As a big Chinese army, if you all think that you have to be ready before going into battle, then in my opinion, it is indeed a burden."

When the three of them heard the words, shame suddenly appeared on their faces.

At the same time, there was a rush of blood rushing straight to the forehead:

"General, we were wrong. Please rest assured, general, we will not insult the name of the Great Han Chinese Army when we get to the front of the battle!"

General Zhendong's expression turned pale.

This is also what she admires A Lang very much.

The restructuring of the military is not just about re-dividing the soldiers into battalions and assigning whoever leads the army.

Instead, it is necessary to further promote the system of the Nanxiang Army in the early years.

It is to imitate the former Han Dynasty when it was strong and prosperous, with Liang Jiazi as the core, to form a tiger and wolf division that swept the Quartet.

Instead of relying on harsh laws and torture to force and drive soldiers to fight like the Wei thief.

Of course, the premise of all this is to have enough good family members.

What should I do if there are not enough good families?

Then make it, make it hard!

Open a school, divide the fields, and spread them into mu, so as to enhance the national strength.

Dismember the old-fashioned family who are unwilling to follow the trend of history, and forcibly reduce the children of the aristocratic family to ordinary children of a good family.

The stronger the national power, the stronger the people's power, the more good families - in the words of later generations, it is the expansion of the middle class.

In the past few years, even Zhang Yi and the others have been influenced by these propagandas more or less unconsciously.

Coupled with the generals in the army, they are bloody after all.

Naturally, he couldn't bear such an agitation from General Zhendong.

After everyone's discussion was over, Guan Xing deliberately stayed at the end, watching everyone else leave, and then said to General Zhendong:

"San Niang, although it is better to invite generals than aggressive generals, Wuwei and other three armies are indeed mostly new recruits, and they rush into battle. You should watch carefully."

General Zhendong smiled:

"Brother, I know this truth. It depends on the situation whether or not to let them take it seriously this time."

If there is a last resort, all civilian husbands have to be recruited urgently.

What's more, they are in the army?

"But having said that, even if they were to assist the Northern Army and the Tiger Cavalry Army, wouldn't that be better than the auxiliary troops?"

Seeing that General Zhendong had a plan in mind, Guan Xing smiled and said:

"It turns out that you came up with this idea, then I can rest assured."

The next day, when the imperial court officially released the news, General Zhendong urgently led the Chinese army across the river to rescue Shangdang.

General Guan has already taken his personal guards one step ahead of the army and headed for Hedong.

Just when the fall of Shangdang caused shock in Guanzhong and the imperial court had to dispatch troops urgently.

Far away at Caoqiao Pass, Feng Duhu, who just got the news, yelled in public in an extremely rude way:

"Old man Wei Yan, damn it!"

"damn it!"

"This trash!"

"Simply a pig!"

"Stupid—beep stuff!"

...

After cursing for a while, Feng Duhu, whose anger in his heart had not been reduced by half, gritted his teeth and ordered:

"Come on, let the three generals Meng, Ju, and Li come to see me immediately! Immediately, immediately!"

Meng Yanjufu and Li Qiu received an urgent order and rushed over: "Your Majesty..."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Duhu directly ordered:

"I'm going to Shangdang immediately, the three of you..."

As Feng Duhu said, his eyes swept over the three of them, "Let the soldiers tidy up immediately and return to Shiguanzhong."

"Then, General Meng, you continue to guard Wuguan. Generals Ju and Li, with the troops from Tongguan, follow me and rush to Shangdang!"

"ah?"

All three were stunned.

Especially Li Qiu, for the past two months, has been traveling between Wuguan and Caoqiaoguan, supervising logistics.

Just wait for the final attack on Caoqiao Pass, and make a contribution.

Didn't expect to return to the teacher just after finishing preparations?

So what have I been doing for the past two months?

Person in charge?

Feng Duhu opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but closed his eyes again, because he really couldn't speak.

In the end, he stuffed the official document into Li Qiu's arms, and then turned around.

I endured it and endured it, but I still couldn't hold it back, and let out a long cry:

"Old man Wei Yan, I belonged to your mother!"

I should have asked you to accompany the prime minister to meet the late emperor!
