Farmer of Shu Han

The central guard was scolding the left hussar general.

He called General Zuo Hussar a bastard.

Although I don't know what a bastard is, it seems that the Central Guard is very angry with General Zuo Hussar.

But Jiang Wei and Liu Yin pretended not to hear it.

Anyway, if they want to participate in things of that level, they are still a little short of qualifications.

And...the two of them didn't like Wei Yan either.

On the contrary, he prefers to be close to the Central Guard.

Liu Yin needless to say.

He was recommended by Mrs. You of the Central Guard, so he could enter the army, and finally became famous in the battle at Jieting.

As for Jiang Wei, Tong and Zhong Duhu accepted the art of war taught by the prime minister, so he was considered half a brother of the same school.

Although I said that I worked with Wei Yan before, but looking at the whole big man, how many people can bear Wei Yan's temper?

So the two are more concerned about another matter now.

"Chuhu, what should we do now?"

Although the situation was urgent, Jiang Wei and Liu Yin's eyes glowed faintly with excitement at the arrival of the Central Guard.

Yes, the situation in Shangdang is very worrying - others may be very worried.

The more people who don't know anything about the military, the more worried they will be.

But for people in the army like Jiang Wei and Liu Yin, they felt more confident:

As long as Zhongduhu is there, everything will be fine.

This is the belief that has been deeply engraved in the hearts of the officers and men of the Zhongdu Guard, who has never been defeated for so many years.

Moreover, the strong self-confidence that the big Han soldiers have built up over the years cannot be defeated by a mere loss of the party.

The longer a person has stayed in the army, the stronger this belief will be.

Of course, the excitement of the two of them was not mainly because of this.

But because of another thing:

The Zhongduhu came over, does that mean that we finally have a chance to make meritorious deeds?

"What should I do?" Feng Duhu poured himself another large bowl of water and said, "It's very difficult."

Both Jiang Wei and Liu Yin were startled.

Lying back in the chair again, Feng Duhu said expressionlessly:

"I hurried from the southern front to the eastern front, and now I haven't even fully figured out what happened in Shangdang, so what decision can I make?"

"So I can only wait. Only when Shangdang, Hedong, and even Taiyuan gather all the military information can I make a judgment."

The incident happened suddenly. Fortunately, General Zhendong came forward, which temporarily stabilized people's hearts.

But General Zhendong was not the Central Guard after all.

Although the Zhongdu Protector's Mansion bears a mansion character, it also has a fixed office location on weekdays.

But it is still typical of wartime.

That is, if it is necessary—such as the current situation—the Zhongdu Protector will come to the front to direct the battle in person, and it is often necessary to transfer the subordinate officials of the Chang'an Zhongdu Protectorate to form a mobile Zhongdu Protectorate.

Wherever Zhongduhu is, there is the real Zhongduhufu.

As Zhong Duhu said, he rushed to Tongguan in a hurry, and the news did not keep up.

The most important thing is that the staff group has not followed.

These take time to adjust.

After all, in this era, there are no radio satellites.

The transmission of news, even if it is the fastest transmission, there is a delay.

Not to mention Jiang Wei Liu Yin and others, who can only know the general news.

It is impossible for Feng Duhu to have an accurate grasp of the overall situation of the battle immediately when he arrives for the first time.

Even if you have mastered and summarized all the information ahead, you still have to judge the battle situation, mobilize various troops, and allocate materials according to the situation.

If you want to handle all kinds of tedious matters without delay, you will definitely need a team.

At least for Feng Duhu, he needed his staff.

Hearing Feng Duhu's words, the excitement that Jiang and Liu had just had in their hearts was drowned out.

Seeing the expressions of the two, how could Feng Duhu not know what they were thinking.

He sighed:

"Bo Yue, at any rate, you also learned the art of war from the prime minister. Let me ask you, what are the five virtues for a general?"

Jiang Wei didn't understand why Zhong Duhu asked about the art of war at this time, but subconsciously straightened his back and replied:

"Inherent in all protection, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness, these are the five virtues of generals."

"That's right." Feng Duhu nodded, "People in the world now only think that bravery is the first thing to do in general, but they don't know that wisdom is the first thing to do."

"The joint staff is for the convenience of gathering the wisdom of everyone!"

He looked at Jiang Wei and continued to ask: "There will be five dangers, what are the five dangers?"

Jiang Wei replied again:

"If you must die, you can be killed; if you must live, you can be captured; if you are quick to anger, you can be insulted; if you are honest, you can be insulted; if you love the people, you can be annoying."

Desperate and reckless, greedy for life and fear of death, impatient and irritable, value reputation, and dote on soldiers, these are all taboos for generals.

Feng Duhu asked again:

"Shangdang's mistake, what taboo did Wei Yan commit?"

This question finally made Jiang Wei silent for a while, and then he said:

"Death, anger speed..."

Feng Duhu sneered:

"There is still one taboo, if you don't say it, I will say it, and that is honesty."

If it wasn't for him insisting on competing with himself for this little reputation, why would Guo Xun Sima Yi take advantage of his loopholes?

"If the five taboos violate the three taboos, their defeat is inevitable, so it is useless to worry about it now."

This is why it is often said that "a thousand soldiers are easy to get, but a general is hard to find".

In the case of insufficient information transmission speed, the ability of front-line generals is very high.

In the face of rapidly changing battle situations, it is necessary to make accurate judgments in a timely manner.

Otherwise, when the news reaches the rear, the day lily will be cold.

So in the era of cold weapons, it is very talented to lead an army to fight a war.

It's not that you can become a qualified general if you learn how to deploy formations and the art of war.

Apart from talent, is there any other way to become a famous player?

have.

That is to be matched with great luck - not only have the opportunity to learn the art of war, but also have countless opportunities to correct mistakes, so as to continue to grow.

The so-called reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, combining theory with practice, is exactly the truth.

But "soldiers are important matters for the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival", how many people can have this kind of opportunity to grow up through trial and error again and again?

The middle and low-level soldiers may be okay, after all, even in the era of war, there are people who have survived countless life-and-death battles-this is already great luck.

But as a general, how many times can he lead the army to trial and error?

Unless you open up, not only for yourself, but also for your surroundings.

Of course, in order to get the bottom line, it is best to have more insight and marry a few more virtuous housemates.

If there is no good internal help, good foreign help will do.

For example, a certain ground turtle.

Of course, a certain surname Feng Duhu would not admit it.

He looked at Jiang Wei and said meaningfully:

"If you don't know what the army can't do, you can call it advancing; if you don't know what the army can't retreat, you can call it retreating. This is called "retiring the army." This is the great danger of this army."

"Now that the Shangdang war is going on, we haven't studied it, and we haven't asked for its details. How can An Neng act rashly?"

Tongguan is the most important barrier in Guanzhong. Jiang and Liu are guarding here, and they dare not move a single step until they get the military order.

These days, the war in Shangdang has been stalemate, but the two of them can only wait here, naturally they feel uncomfortable.

At this time, when they heard Zhong Duhu's words, both of them were startled, and secretly felt ashamed:

"What Zhong Duhu said is very true, we are too impatient."

Wei Wenchang was greedy for merit and became an army, but we didn't think about it, and wanted to follow in the footsteps, ashamed, ashamed.

Seeing this, Feng Duhu showed a satisfied smile on his tired face.

Jiang Boyue is sensitive to military affairs, but sometimes he acts too risky, wins but does not know how to retreat, loses but does not know how to defend, so either a big victory or a big defeat.

Taking this opportunity, remind him that it would be a good thing if he could think of this when his head is hot.

It's just that the color of satisfaction quickly flashed past, followed by a sigh in my heart.

At this time, I shouldered the weight of the whole country's military affairs, and I was facing Sima Yi, so I should not make a decision lightly, and it was not a lie.

In the past, he led an army alone, and had the prime minister to support him, so he naturally had less scruples.

But now, I am the bottom of everyone!

Thinking like this, he said to Jiang Wei and Liu Yin:

"Soldiers in the army, it's a good thing to be happy when they hear the battle. It's just that you two are the leaders of the army, and you can't be like ordinary soldiers."

"You are responsible for the lives of the soldiers below, and you have to think about it before going to battle."

Jiang Wei and Liu Yin responded again: "What the Zhongdu protector taught is true."

"The current battle situation is like this. What should have happened has happened a long time ago. What should not have happened has already happened. There is no shortage of time."

Feng Duhu's voice became a little low:

"In two days at the latest, the staff group of the Central Capital Protectorate will arrive. When the staff group deduces the situation of the battle and formulates the battle plan, I will sometimes be present."

"Both of you, at that time, you can put forward some suggestions, talk about the news you have, and your own ideas, and brainstorm!"

When the two heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. The initial disappointment had long since vanished:

"Follow the order of the Central Capital!"

"Don't worry, the Central Guard, after the last general goes down, he will definitely make good preparations."

Zhongdu Hufu, to be precise, is the first staff group created by Zhongdu Hu, and it is a legend in the Han army.

I heard that there are generals and schools in the army, students from the martial arts hall, and even the most grassroots officers in the army, a few will appear from time to time.

Very magical place.

but!

But no one dared to underestimate the people inside.

It was rumored that the military staff had contributed a lot to the illustrious military exploits that the guard had made over the years.

Anyone who can enter the staff group for training, and then come out to lead the army, has a brighter future than others.

After all, following Zhongduhu's side and receiving Zhongduhu's guidance from time to time, he naturally has more knowledge.

What's more, he hangs around Zhongduhu every day, and can often give advice to Zhongduhu. If he is really capable, Zhongduhu can miss it?

So over time, the staff group around Zhongduhu has become a place of experience that many young people with ambitions in the army yearn for.

Later, when the prime minister passed away, Zhongduhu was the number one member of the Han army.

The staff group behind Zhongdu's bodyguard is even more valuable.

I thought there was another Wei Yan who could barely wrestle with Zhongdu Hu.

Unexpectedly, when I look at it today, I must!

Also broke the wrist of the fart!

Back then, in front of the late emperor, he swore that if a hundred thousand bandit soldiers dared to come, he would swallow them all.

This is less than 100,000, and Shangdang is gone.

Big mouth Wei!

Jiang Wei and Liu Yin definitely wanted to gain a foothold in the army.

At this time, when I heard that I could have in-depth exchanges with the staff group, how could I not be moved?

"I know the two of you are impatient, go down and prepare. If you have any suggestions or ideas, you can bring them up in the staff group in two days."

Feng Duhu waved his hand, closed his eyes, and made no effort to hide the tiredness on his face.

Jiang Wei and Liu Yin understood, knowing that the Zhongduhu came all the way and needed to rest, so they quickly got up and retreated.

Feng Duhu waited until there was no sound in the room, then opened his eyes again, looked at the roof without focus, and sighed faintly:

"Xijun, before I'm ready, everything depends on you!"

Just as General Zhendong took a step ahead, crossed the big river, and temporarily stabilized the hearts of the people in Hedong.

Feng Duhu ran non-stop all the way, running from Caoqiao Pass to Tongguan regardless, also in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the pass.

As for how to lead the army to fight back against the Wei thieves, at least the preliminary work must be prepared first, right?

What's more, he is the commander-in-chief of this battle and needs to coordinate the overall situation, so there are more preparations to be made.

For example, the strength of the Wei army at Hangu Pass, the strength of Luoyang, the strength of Hanoi, and the strength of Shangdang...

And Sima Yi's next plan?

These are all things to figure out.

Even if you can't figure it out, you have to find out the enemy's intelligence in detail, and try to guess the opponent's intentions as accurately as possible.

At the same time, different records must be made for unexpected situations.

Time, Feng Duhu needs time very much now.

So the time that General Zhendong bought him is very precious.

It was also fortunate that Jiang Wan was worried about the logistics of food and grass.

Feng Duhu believes that the Han Empire that is really functioning is enough to crush the early advantage obtained by Sima Yi's first move.

But Feng Duhu's key consideration is how much will the big man have to pay for this?

He stood up, walked to the map, looked at it for a while, couldn't help stretching out his fingers, and tapped Luoyang lightly.

Then, he spread his hand again and slapped it on the river east.

...

Compared with Feng Duhu's patience, Wei Chang, who had retreated to Gaoping Pass early, built a defensive line in the south of the pass to prevent Sima Shi from Gaodu from catching up.

On the one hand, they sent scouts to both Gaodu and the eldest son to inquire about the news.

It wasn't until the news came from a scout that it was from the direction of the eldest son that there seemed to be a big Han army retreating, and when the former army was not far from Gaoping, Wei Chang's heart was hanging, and then he was relieved.

"Go, take me to have a look."

Master Sima in the south didn't seem to have expected Wei Chang to give up Gaodu so quickly, and ran to Gaoping Pass in no time.

I couldn't catch my breath, so I had to stay in Gaoducheng... for a few days.

He couldn't help being careless, after all, this was his first time leading an army.

And Sima Yi only asked him to delay Wei Yan as much as possible.

It is uncertain why the Han army suddenly retreated. Sima Shi, who did not have much experience in leading the army, did not seek meritorious deeds, but no faults.

Before finding out whether the Han army had an ambush somewhere, it was impossible for him to lead his troops directly to chase them.

This gave Wei Chang a time difference, allowing him to gallop towards the north with his guards without worrying about the south for the time being.

The first to connect were the people from the engineering battalion.

There was no other way. After receiving the news of Wei Yan's order to retreat, Wang Han immediately escorted the engineering battalion to retreat in the direction of Gaoping Pass.

"General Wang?"

"I've seen General Wei."

Looking at the rear of the engineering battalion and the retreating troops, Wei Chang finally relaxed completely.

"General Wang, my family is big, uh, where is General Zuo Hussar? But in the back?"

Wei Chang asked while standing on tiptoe.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response.

Only then did Wei Chang feel that something was wrong, he turned his head again, and his eyes fell on Wang Han:

"General Wang?"
