The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

——

Xun Zhen was stationed outside Yingtao City for two days, and waited for Wang Fen's palindrome.

But it was not in line with Tian Feng's expectations. Wang Fen did not adopt the strategy of "strike the truth to split the thieves, take Chu Feiyan first, and then attack the rest of the thieves", but ordered Xun Zhen and Guo Dian to join forces north to attack Yang.

Rao is Xun Zhen's anger and anger in the city mansion, and after seeing this military order, he almost didn't crumple it up and throw it out.

Tian Feng didn't have his palace, so he immediately changed his color and said, "Wang Wenzu is among the 'eight chefs'. I thought he was a resourceful man, but he was so short-witted!

Wenzu is the character of Wang Fen.

At the banquet yesterday, Tian Feng did not show his arrogant side, but today Xun Zhen saw his hot temper.

Guo Dian frowned, and said: "The thieves of Chu Feiyan have all retreated from the Yang family. There are tens of thousands of them, and they have a strong city as their basis, and Yang's city south and there is a ditch of water, and on our side, I Together with the lieutenant, the number of troops is less than 5,000, how to attack them?"

Wang Fen didn't listen to Xun Zhen's advice last time, and he still didn't listen to it this time. The reason for not listening twice was the same: he was afraid that Chu Feiyan would attack Gaoyi.

Guo Dian sighed and said again: "Fang Bo this order, Fang Fang this order..., alas."

Tian Feng said flatly: "Fu Jun, Lieutenant, Wang Wenzu's order is a faint order, and it must not be followed!"

Guo Dian said with a bitter face: "The military order is like a mountain, how can you not obey?"

Tian Feng said sternly: "'The city is not attacked, the land is not defended, and the ruler's order is not accepted'."

——These words are from "Grandson Changes".

Guo Dian asked Xun Zhen what he meant: "What does the lieutenant think?"

"Fujun, Jizhou is in chaos, and the counties are unable to protect themselves. In addition to thousands of state soldiers, the only soldiers available are you and my two counties. If the soldiers of you and my two counties perish on the shore of the Xianshui, then Julu, Zhao County, including Gaoyi, will no longer be owned by me."

"What did the lieutenant mean?"

"Fang Bo's order to attack Yang's is really impossible."

"Uncle Mu has great power. If I don't obey my orders, I may be impeached."

The prefects of this dynasty are far more powerful than those of the former Han Dynasty. It can be seen from one detail: since Emperor Guangwu in this dynasty, the official edicts issued by the emperor often put the “prefects” in the front and the “two thousand stones” in the front. Afterwards, this way of writing "the provincial governor" before the "two thousand stones" was almost non-existent in the former Han Dynasty. The prefects of the former Han Dynasty only had the power to supervise the state and the state within the Ministry of Supervision, while the prefects of the current dynasty could intervene in local political affairs. Since the reign of Emperor An and Shun, as the calamity of Qi and eunuchs intensified and the imperial power became increasingly weakened, the social The contradictions became increasingly intensified, and uprisings occurred one after another in various places, and the governor was generally given the power to lead troops to rule the county.

At the beginning of last year, Wang Yun was worshipped as the prefect of Yuzhou by the imperial court, and he brought Xun Shuang and Kong Rong state officials to Yingchuan. Wang Yun's military affairs are in full charge.

Yuzhou is like this, and Jizhou is no exception.

Xun Zhen and Guo Dianru disobeyed Wang Fen's military orders. Although Wang Fen had no right to deal with them, he was able to write to the court against them.

In the pre-Han Dynasty, "the state shepherd announced that the chief officials of 2,000 stone would not be appointed to the office, and the three officials would first be assigned to the three princes, and the three princes would send the officials to check the case, and then they would be dismissed." Assassinate officials", "if there is an impeachment, it will be refunded and exempted". That is to say, as long as Wang Fen impeached them, they did not need to be sent by the Three Dukes to check the case as in the former Han Dynasty, and the DPRK would immediately "refund and exempt" them.

This is why, although Xun Zhen was reluctant, he still brought troops to Ying Tao according to Wang Fen's order.

But this time, he wasn't going to follow orders.

"Fu-kun, don't worry, I have my own way to persuade Uncle Fang to withdraw this order."

Guo Dian was surprised and asked, "Dare to ask the lieutenant what tricks he has?"

Xun Zhen smiled, but refused to speak, only said: "Fu-Jun, please just wait."

Back at the barracks, Xun Zhen wrote another letter, ordering someone to send it to Gaoyi. Two days later, Wang Fen's palindrome came down, and the previous order was indeed withdrawn, and Xun Zhen and Guo Dian were ordered to "act according to circumstances".

Guo Dian and Tian Feng were amazed and asked how Xun Zhen persuaded Wang Fen, but Xun Zhen refused to answer.

...

Gaoyi, the state capital.

Wang Fen took Xun Zhen's latest letter, read it again and again, and said repeatedly, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."

A state official who was sitting next to the hall asked, "What is worthy of Duke Ming's repeated sighs?"

"I didn't expect that Xun Zhenzhi was not only good at fighting, but also very proficient in the art of divination."

"how do I say this?"

"Look at this cover of his book."

The state official got up from the table and came to Wang Fen's case. He took Xun Zhen's letter and read it carefully, but he saw Xun Zhen wrote in the book: "Zhen night looks at the air of the north, the cloud is red and you look up, this is the case. Despairing qi is also. Divination and then divination, all are fierce. If you attack Yang, it may be unfavorable."

The state official stopped looking at it and said with a smile: "Duke Ming, even though the subordinate is from Jizhou, he also knows the origin of the family biography of the Xun family in Yingchuan, the Book of Changes, and Lieutenant Xun's family study origins, so why is it strange that he is familiar with the art of divination?"

Wang Fen nodded yes.

Wang Fen had long known that "Yi" was one of Xun's family studies. In the past, he was acquainted with the brothers Xun Yu and Xun Tan, and had several relationships with Xun Shuang. The accomplishments in the Book of Changes are so admired that they are all over the place. If not, he would not have believed in Xun Zhen's book, "hitting the Yang family may be unfavorable."

...

Under the pretense of divination, Xun Zhen fooled Wang Fen and coaxed him to withdraw the order.

But it's not enough to just let Wang Fen take back the order. You have to find a way to drive Chu Feiyan away from Yang's and Julu.

If Chu Feiyan did not leave Julu for a day, Xun Zhen's dispatch of troops this time would not be a success.

In the barracks, in the handsome tent.

Xun Zhen, Xun You, Xuan Kang, Xu Fu, Xu Ji and others stood in front of the map, discussing how to drive Chu Feiyan out of Julu.

Xu Fu said: "The terrain around Yang's is conducive to the thieves. Our army cannot attack hard. If we want to drive Chu Feiyan away, we can only outsmart it."

Xun You agreed, nodding and saying, "At the banquet hosted by Guo Taishou in honor of the lieutenant a few days ago, Duke Tian quoted Li Zuoche's words, saying that 'a hundred battles will be won,' and now is the time to use 'qi'. "

If there is no certainty of victory in a head-to-head battle, then you can only use surprise soldiers to win by surprise.

Xun Zhen examined the map carefully, and asked Xu Fu, Xu Ji, and Xuan Kang, "Do you have a strategy for chasing thieves?"

Xuankang, Xu Fu, and Xu Ji frowned and thought, but for a while they had no idea.

"Gongda, do you have a good plan?"

"There is a strategy, but I don't know if it is feasible or not."

"tell me the story."

Xun You took a step forward, placed his finger on the location of Yingtao on the map, swiped down, slid across the water, then turned to the right, followed the course of the river, and finally stopped at a place on the north bank of the water. .

He didn't say a word, but Xun Zhen already understood what he meant.

Looking at the map and thinking deeply for a while, Xun Zhen punched Xun You's finger at the last place and said, "Just follow this policy!"

Xuankang and Xu Ji did not understand.

Xuankang asked in puzzlement, "Does Xunjun mean to suggest that my troops cross the river from here and attack Yang's?"

The last place where Xun You's fingers stopped was called Boluoting, which was to the southeast of Yang's, twenty or thirty miles away from Yang's. Even if Chu Feiyan and other thieves were cautious, they would not be able to set up defenses thirty miles away from Yang's, and it was completely feasible to sneak across the river from here.

Xu Ji was also puzzled, and said, "Didn't you just say that you can't attack the Yang family hard, you can only outsmart it? Even if you sneak across the river from here, don't you have to attack it in the end?"

Xun Zhen saw Xu Fu's attention on the map, but was silent, but asked with a smile, "A'Fu, can you guess what Gongda means?"

Xu Fu replied: "Xunjun's intention should be: my department will first deceive the south and retreat to Zhao County, then sneak to the east, follow the northwest of the river, and cross the river from the place where Xunjun last pointed,..."

Xun Zhen asked with a smile, "What's next?"

"Then go north to attack Fucheng."

As soon as the words came out, Xuankang and Xu Ji suddenly realized.

Xuankang happily said: "This avoidance is empty, and the strategy of encircling the three is missing one! If this strategy can work, the thieves have to abandon Yang's northwest and escape. In this way, Yang's can be recovered, and the south of Julu County can also be recovered. already."

Fucheng County is not the land of Julu County, but the land of Anping. It is located at the border between Julu and Anping, northeast of Yang's, about fifty miles away from Yang's. This city is also in the hands of thieves, but there are not many troops stationed in the city, so it is not difficult to attack.

Avoid the Yang clan, where tens of thousands of thieves are stationed, and instead attack Fucheng, where the city defense is empty.

Fucheng is to the northeast of the Yang clan, Yingtao is to the north of the Yang clan, and Gaoyi is to the west of the Yang clan. After Fucheng is captured, these three places can form a semi-encirclement of the Yang clan, leaving the northwest direction alone. The thieves in Yang's city were killed.

Tens of thousands of thieves were stationed in the Yang family, and the daily consumption must be very high. When Fucheng was in the hands of the thieves, the supplies they needed could come from the north road. Once Fucheng fell into the hands of the Han soldiers, the supplies from the north would be sent. If they don't come, Chu Feiyan and others can only give up the Yang family and retreat to the northwest under this circumstance. To the northwest of Yang's is Changshan, in other words, it is equivalent to driving the main force of the thieves out of Julu.

The more Xuankang thought about it, the more excited he said, "The thieves in Fucheng would never have imagined that our troops would bypass the Yang Clan and attack Fucheng instead. Our troops have prepared thieves and are unprepared, and we can take the city in one battle!  …, Xun Jun, this is It’s a really good strategy, a really good strategy.”

Chu Feiyan returned to Yang's ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in order to reverse the passive situation of Zhang Niujiao's death in battle, and to force Xun Zhen into his pre-set battlefield to win. Xun You chose to attack Fucheng in order to reverse the current situation that was unfavorable to the Han soldiers, and wanted to chase Chu Feiyan out of Julu.

Chu Feiyan retreated back to the Yang clan, and Xun You suggested that the attack on Fucheng should be one advance, one retreat and one advance. On the surface, the two armies of the enemy and our army seemed to have not made a single attack, but in fact, they were fighting together at the tactical and strategic level. At the moment, it seems that Xun You has the advantage, Chu Feiyan's retreat is at most a tactic, and Xun You's suggestion of advancing is already a strategy.

Xun Zhen smiled and asked Xuankang, Xu Fu, and Xu Ji, "Do you know why Boluo Pavilion is called Boluo?"

Xu Ji read a lot and replied, "It was named after Bo Luoshui."

"Huainanzi" says: "Yaoshan collapsed and the thin water dried up", and the thin water is the mainland lake in the south of Yingtao County. ——Landu Ze has several names, also known as Julu Ze, also known as Guang Aze. The name of Yang's county is also derived from Lu Ze, and Lu Ze is also known as Yang Yuyao.

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Yes, during the Warring States Period, this pavilion was the border of Qi and Zhao, and the two countries often fought here. When we cross the river from this pavilion in the future, you ministers, we can admire the ancients of Zhao and Qi. General's legacy."
