Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 60 The military advisor plays with Zhicai

Chapter 59: The military advisor plays with Zhicai

 After taking down the underworld, there are still many large and small matters, such as the seizure of weapons, inventory of the six major families' properties, treatment of the wounded, pensions, etc. Qin Hao will handle these matters one by one.

The Yanmen Army will definitely look down on the captured inferior weapons. If they want to use them, they must be recast. After the recasting of 20,000 inferior weapons, it can bring 5,000 refined weapons to the Yanmen Army, which can save money. I spent a lot of money to buy iron ore!

While dealing with these chores, Qin Hao suddenly remembered that he had not received the victory reminder from the system yet. After asking, he found out that this was the reason why the battle was not over yet. After all, Dongfang Sheng's 6,000-strong army had not yet been solved.

Therefore, Qin Hao could only wait for the ambush battle in the southeast to end before he could accept the fruits of victory. The number of rebels this time was 25,000, which converted into summoning points was 250. Two peak summons could be carried out. Just thinking about it, Qin Hao Hao is almost drooling!

 Hope to get them all! Qin Hao thought secretly in his heart, but he was always a little uneasy. He always felt that it was too easy to earn summon points. He just hoped that he would not be tricked by the system again!

After assigning all the tasks, Qin Hao wrote down all the recent wars in Yanmen, as well as the news that Zhang Xianzhong led an army of 50,000 and was about to arrive at Dai County.

And through the message transmission channel of Jinyiwei and Heibingtai, that is, the letter eagle, it was sent to Qin Wen in Daijun. When the letter eagle flew to Daijun, Heibingtai would automatically pass the letter to Qin Wen.

Thinking of his father, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh. Under his intervention, Qin Wen had grown into a behemoth. In terms of ability and means, he was not inferior to the future princes.

The most important thing is that my father's reputation as a benevolent general has spread throughout the thirteen states, and has attracted many famous people to take the initiative to invest, including many famous generals and officials who have left their names in history. When can I have such a reputation?

 …

 Thirty thousand Yanmen Army in Youzhou, Daijun, and D County are stationed fifty miles outside the city. The Yanmen Army camp is brightly lit at this time, and the entire army is celebrating their recent victory.

Two days ago, the Yanmen Army fought a great victory in D County, beheading 20,000 people and defeating the 80,000 Yellow Turban Army led by the Yellow Turban Commander Fang La. Not only did they relieve the siege of D County, they also drove Fang La to Dai County. East, so it’s only natural to celebrate!

In the main tent of the Yanmen Army, Qin Wen was sitting in the main seat with a serious expression, while all the major generals in the army were standing on both sides, showing no sign of celebrating.

The four years of guarding Yanmen Pass were four years of rebirth for the Qin family, and even more hardships for Qin Wen. The long years of hard work made Qin Wen physically and mentally exhausted. At the same time, his abilities also increased simultaneously, and white hair grew on his temples. This is the best proof!

Years of fighting have accumulated a lot of hidden injuries on Qin Wen's body, so his physical condition has never been very good, but Qin Wen still struggled to support himself because he did not want to put the entire responsibility of restoring the country on his son's shoulders.

From his point of view, Qin Hao is still a child. Before Qin Hao fully grows up, as a father, he has to support his son!

 So, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was and how powerful the opponent was in these years, Qin Wen never gave up.

 And after four years of growth, the strength of the Qin family, as well as the current chaotic situation of the Han Dynasty, finally gave him hope of restoring the country!

On the surface, the Yellow Turbans sent troops this time to help the Han Dynasty suppress the rebellion, but in fact they were helping themselves, because it would definitely be easier to seize the world from the Han Dynasty than from the Yellow Turbans.

The rise of the Yellow Turbans is too fast, too powerful, and they are on the opposite side of the aristocratic families. Once the Yellow Turbans defeat the Han Dynasty and take over the orthodoxy, they will definitely attack the aristocratic families, and the Qin family, one of the five major business families, will definitely bear the brunt. Yes, so Qin Wen must stop it.

In Qin Wen's view, the Yellow Turban Army was just a group of rebels, and this was indeed the case, but the angry farmers were equally terrifying. Qin Wen didn't know that more than two thousand years later, there would be a great man who won the world through farmers.

 Thirty thousand elite soldiers who have been guarding Yanmen Pass all year round should be easy to deal with the farmers who have just laid down their hoes. However, Qin Wen underestimated the resilience of the Yellow Turban Army and the ability of the Yellow Turban commander Fang La.

Fang La did not completely fall into the trap of the Yanmen Army. Although the Yanmen Army defeated the Yellow Turban Army in the first battle, the Yellow Turban Army still had 50,000 troops and its main force still existed.

Fang La, who knew that the Yanmen Army was powerful, naturally did not dare to take the initiative to provoke anymore. The Yellow Turban Army, which was the attacker at the beginning, pretended to be defensive.

The Yanmen Army was an elite force that had fought many battles, so Qin Wen was naturally reluctant to spend time on attacking fortresses, so the war ended in a stalemate!

“Military advisor, you guessed it right again. Fang La was not fooled!” Qin Wen, who was sitting on the throne, said helplessly to the young scribe below.

 The celebration was just a show, the real purpose was to make Fang La think that after the Yanmen Army's victory, the military morale was already arrogant, so he led Fang La to lead a surprise attack.

　　The young scribe standing first in the row on the right stood up immediately upon hearing this. Just as he was about to speak, he coughed violently.

After coughing, the young scribe raised his somewhat pale face and said slowly: "My lord, Fang La is famous for being cautious among the many commanders in the Yellow Turbans, and he has just experienced a major defeat. This kind of superficial temptation to lure soldiers Naturally, you won’t be fooled.”

After listening to what the military advisor said, Qin Zheng, who was standing on the left, suddenly felt a flash of embarrassment on his face, because it was he who came up with this tactic of luring troops.

A hint of dissatisfaction suddenly flashed across the face of Qin Jian, who was in the first row on the left, and he said sarcastically: "Commander Xi, since you said that Zheng'er's plan to lure soldiers is a small plan, then you are thinking of a big plan. You are not the one who makes the plans. What literati are good at!”

“Fourth brother, don’t be rude!” Qin Wen glared at Qin Jian upon hearing this.

 “Why don’t you apologize to the military advisor quickly!”

Seeing the unquestionable look in his elder brother's eyes, Qin Jian reluctantly raised his hands to the military advisor and said, "Military advisor, Qin Gong is a straightforward man. I hope you don't mind!"

The scribe smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "No problem, it is the duty of the military advisor to make plans, but I am incompetent. I am ashamed of my lord's trust!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wen quickly said: "Military advisor, don't say that. Your contribution to Yanmen over the years is obvious to all. If this strategy is not enough, just think of other methods."

That's right, the current military advisor of the Yanmen Army, this middle-aged scribe, was a famous celebrity in Yingchuan in the late Han Dynasty. He was a dramatist with the courtesy name Zhicai. He was a talented man with knowledge of the world. He was friends with Guo Jiacheng Yu and others. In the original history, he was Cao Cao. ’s first counselor.

Xi Zhicai, a native of Yingchuan County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was recommended by Xun Yu to assist Cao Cao when he was thirty-two years old. He became Cao Cao's counselor. He was a man of many strategies and was highly valued by Cao Cao. He was only thirty-four years old when he died. Before his death, he recommended Guo Jia to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao listened. Later, Guo Jia assisted Cao Cao in creating a great cause.

At this time, Xi Zhicai was only twenty-two years old and had great ambitions. However, he was not reused because he was born into a poor family. He fell into disgrace several times and wasted several years. It's also much lighter.

So he returned to Yingchuan and lived a life like a hermit. It wasn't until he heard that Qin Wen, a famous general in Guanzhong, actually volunteered to garrison in northern Xinjiang, rebuilt Yanmen Pass, and employed people in an eclectic way, that he decided to come and join him. It was not Xi Zhicai's idea to defect to Qin Wen at first, but Xi Zhicai's good friend Cheng Yu proposed it.

Cheng Yu was a famous scholar in Dongjun. His original name was Cheng Li. One day, he dreamed that he was holding the sun on Mount Tai. The dream interpreter told Cheng Yu that people with a "sun" in their names would become their masters, so Cheng Li changed his name to Cheng. Yu.

This Ming lord with "日" in his name was later Cao Cao. However, at this time, Cao Cao's reputation and power were far from reaching the point where Cheng Yu would take the initiative to join him.

At this time, Qin Wen came into Cheng Yu's sight. The word Wen in Qin Wen's name happened to have "日", so Cheng Yu took Xi Zhicai and prepared to join Qin Wen together.

However, after meeting Qin Wen, Cheng Yu thought that Qin Wen was more gentle than ruthless, and was not the best candidate for his Ming Dynasty in his heart, so he left.

Qin Hao didn't know about this. If he knew, he would definitely laugh.

 Not enough ruthlessness?

 Did you know that my father would kill his own brothers without even looking down at him, and he could even force his own son to kill his own brother? Would such a person be ruthless enough?

 Stop being funny!

Although Cheng Yu left, Xi Zhicai stayed.

Different from Cheng Yu's view, Xi Zhicai believed that Qin Wen was a virtuous corporal, a benevolent person on the outside and a tyrant on the inside, and he did not despise a poor family, so he had the qualifications to be a hero, so he stayed to help him wholeheartedly.

In the past, the Yanmen Army mainly focused on defense against the Xiongnu, but since the arrival of Xi Zhicai, it gradually began to launch a counterattack. Qin Wen fought thirteen times with the Xiongnu in four years, and six of them were the result of Xi Zhicai's plan.

It was precisely because of his hard work and meritorious service that he was finally named a military advisor by Qin Wen, making him the most powerful person in the Yanmen Army, second only to Qin Wen.

"Report, Yuvluo has led an army of 80,000, and the troops are at Yanmen Pass!" A messenger quickly ran in and said anxiously.

Qin Jian was shocked when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn the Huns, they actually picked it at this time."

All the generals in the hall were in a commotion upon hearing this. Yanmen Pass is too important to Yanmen. Once it is lost, the Yanmen Army will only have Guangwu City as the last line of defense.

But even after four years of vigorous development, how can Guangwu's defense power be as good as Yanmen Pass?

But Qin Wen, who was sitting in the main seat at this time, did not panic at all. Years of crisis had already made Qin Wen develop a state of mind that would not change even if the mountain collapsed. No matter how dangerous the situation was, Qin Wen at least appeared to be very calm. .

"Why are you panicking? There are 10,000 defenders at Yanmen Pass. Wu Ling is a veteran of our army who is good at defense. He will not be lost so quickly." Qin Wen said slowly, without any trace of panic.

 The generals saw that their lord was so calm, and their impetuous hearts gradually calmed down.

 Qin Wen's performance made Xi Zhicai couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart. He showed his true character as a hero by remaining calm in the face of danger. Brother Zhongde, you will regret it sooner or later.

"Report, the Wang family and other six major families have rebelled, and the Yin Pavilion has fallen!" Another messenger hurried in and shouted anxiously.

After hearing the news, the whole place was silent. Everyone was shocked by the news. There were powerful enemies outside and traitors inside, and Yanmen was in danger.

“No, Wang Hui, the deputy general of General Wu Ling, is from the Wang family, isn’t he?” Qin Zheng suddenly remembered something and shouted in horror.

"What?" Qin Jian's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

At this time, Qin Wen finally moved and said with a solemn face: "Yanmen Pass is in danger!"

To Qin Wen, the rebellion of the Wang family was just a scourge of skin moss. What he really cared about was Yanmen Pass. If Yanmen Pass was lost, the Yanmen Army would be passive overall!

"Brother, retreat as soon as possible. If it's too late, Yanmen may suffer losses!" Qin Jian advised.

"Military advisor, what do you think?" Qin Wen asked with a frown after pondering for a moment.

“My lord, have you ever thought about why the Xiongnu sent troops at this time?” Xi Zhicai asked with a faint smile.

Qin Wen pondered for a moment and then said, "What does the military counselor mean by saying that Fang La has colluded with the Xiongnu?"

“Well, I’m sure there must be an ambush from Fang La on the way back to the army!”

“Now that we know Fangla’s power, I wonder if the military advisor has a way to break it?”

 “It’s not difficult to break, all it takes is”

Xi Zhicai smiled confidently, but before he could finish his words, he saw a guard in black walking in with a letter in his hand.

Qin Wen saw that the person coming was from Heibingtai, so he motioned to him to hand over the letter. When he took the letter and saw that his name was his son Qin Hao at the bottom, Qin Wen immediately opened it and read it carefully!

[I am an actor Zhicai. Although I don’t know how much time I have left, I will do my best to plan for your lord. Zhongde, you will regret your decision sooner or later. Fengxiao, if one day I am no longer here, I hope you can Take my place, don't refuse in a hurry, join the lord's command, I guarantee you will enjoy all the wine in the future! (please recommend)]
