Three Kingdoms

Sima Yi looked at Chang'an in the distance, and his heart surged for a moment.

Sima Fu had been waiting in the pavilion for a long time. When he saw Sima Yi and his entourage slowly approaching, he quickly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "I know that my eldest brother has returned to the capital, and I would like to make arrangements to welcome him. However, I am tired of the case, and I have received special approval from the hussar." I have to come here, but I don’t have much to offer, so I hope you’ll forgive me. 』

Sima Yi swung the stirrup and dismounted, then moved his waist, legs and feet, patted Sima Fu on the shoulder, looked at it, and smiled: "Since you hold a national position, national affairs naturally take precedence. There is no need to make a fuss about seeing off." Now in the Hussar Mansion, is there any gain? 』

Sima Fu lowered his head and said, "I can only get the words "real" and "use". 』

Sima Yi laughed loudly, and then patted Sima Fu on the shoulder, "I will go to the Husband's Mansion first and I will explain in detail when Mu Xiu comes." 』

Sima Yi did not come back alone. He also brought back 200 middle and low-level non-commissioned officers. These military sergeants are all military non-commissioned officers below the rank of commander under Zhao Yun, and will undergo training in Chang'an for about half a year.

Of course, Zhao Yun is not the only one who sends non-commissioned officers here. The other generals in command of the war zones also send back a batch every year, and then they also receive a batch of non-commissioned officers from Chang'an Military Academy. This is completely It can maintain the balance of its original overall command system.

This method made Sima Yi feel very novel and admired him very much.

Since ancient times, monarchs and local ministers have often been somewhat suspicious of each other. The monarch will doubt whether the local generals support their troops and even attempt to rebel. The local generals will also often doubt whether the monarch wants to encroach on their power. Then the dead clan will be destroyed...

However, the Cavalry General was ingenious and set up a military academy, and everything fell into place.

Sima Yi looked back and saw that the commanders behind him, Qu Chang, although they were trying their best to control their emotions, their expressions also revealed their longing and yearning for Chang'an, and even the desire to see the hussar general. That desire...

Sima Yi slowed down his horse slightly and pointed his hand, "Everyone, this is Chang'an!" Great Han Xijing! Chang'an! 』

"Oh oh oh oh!" Chang'an! 』

"The great man is victorious!" The hussar is victorious! 』

Sure enough, these camp commanders who had been unable to hold back Qu Chang, Sima Yi just started and started shouting one after another, which frightened the pedestrians and caravans on the side, but soon, these pedestrians also followed suit. They shouted the name of the Hussars together, and then some caravan leaders came forward to inquire. When they learned that Sima Yi and others came from Youzhou, they exclaimed, and then insisted on bringing some food, cloth, and silk. Hang it straight on the horse's head, and the soldiers can't even push it...

Sima Hui paused for a moment, and then said loudly: "We are deeply grateful for the love of our fathers and fellow villagers, but we still need to see the hussar to pay our orders. It is inconvenient to stay for a long time. Please forgive me!" 』

Sima Yi inherited the fox tradition of the Sima family. Before, he dismounted his horse alone to meet Sima Fu. Although it was reasonable, the other camp commanders, Qu Chang, were waiting behind him... But now, Sima Yi also let these camp leaders behind him. After enjoying it for a long time, everyone will be balanced.

balance.

This is very important. Military academies, non-commissioned officers, generals, and princes all need balance. Once the balance is lost, everything will change again...

In front of the Huqifu Yamen Square, the civilian officials got off their horses and the military attaches dismounted.

Wang Chang held his hands in front of the square and said, "I have met Brother Zhongda." 』

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment and then realized, "Could it be... that it's Brother Wang Xian..."

"Exactly. Wang Chang lowered his head and said, "Brother Zhongda, please give me some advice." 』

"Haha, I don't dare, I don't dare, I know everything I can say..." Sima Yi laughed and stepped forward to say hello to Huang Xu again.

Huang Xu nodded and didn't say much to Sima Yi. After all, he was in charge of these military attachés. He took Xu Chu and other guards with him. After showing Sima Yi his token to hand over military power, he took the commander Qu Chang and others across the square. , heading to the military academy in the city.

Entering the square, you can see the flow of people coming and going. Officials, big and small, came in a hurry with their papers and left in a hurry. There were some scaffolding set up on the other side, and they seemed to be renovating something.

"My lord has newly established six ministries and three courtyards, and is now preparing to renovate the official mansion... Two floors are needed to build enough for it..." Wang Chang took the initiative to explain when he saw Sima Yi looking at the construction site.

"Six departments and three hospitals?" ” Sima Yi repeated.

"There are six departments of officials, households, rites, workers, punishments, and soldiers, as well as the Lu Yuan, Zhi Yin Jian, and the Gao Jian Pavilion..." Wang Chang explained.

Sima Yi nodded slightly.

"We're here..." Wang Chang gestured to the Hussar guards, "Now, by the order of the Hussar, we invite Sima, the military officer of Youbei, to come and pay homage..."

After the guard reported, they quickly led Sima Yi into the courtyard gate, bypassed the corridor, and arrived in front of the meeting hall in the middle. Then Sima Yi heard a familiar voice: "Zhongda, are you okay?" 』

……O（∩_∩）O……

Ma Zhong was defeated by Cao Hong before. Cao's army took control of Dangyang and conquered Xiangyang. They attacked Jiangling in a victorious manner. The army entered Maicheng. Naturally, everyone in Jiangdong needed to gather and discuss countermeasures.

On the surface, Jiang Dongjun is actually pretty good. Jiangling has been captured, and Jiangxia is back under control. Moreover, the water network in the south of Jingzhou is complex and there are many rivers and lakes. This terrain is more suitable for Jiangdong soldiers to use boats to dispatch back and forth. It can even be said that they can fight Cao Jun with the advantage of the water. Competitive.

But in fact, Jiang Dongbing also has many problems. The most troublesome point is the problem that appeared when Ma Zhong was stationed in Dangyang. The respective subordinates are too complicated, which is fine in normal times. Once an emergency occurs, it is inevitable that they will work independently and the command will be inconvenient.

This is not a problem for Ma Zhong or Pan Zhang, but a problem for Jiangdong as a whole. Just like in the Battle of Chibi in history, Sun Quan was even more ruthless before he gathered Jiangdong soldiers together and entrusted them to Zhou Yu to command them. Even so, they were only 50,000 soldiers...

At present, Jiangdong soldiers are relatively scattered, located in the west and south directions of Jingzhou Nanjun, and it is difficult to assemble for a while. Moreover, Pan Zhang has Pan Zhang's subordinates, and Cheng Pu has Cheng Pu's private soldiers. Even before, Zhou Yu tried to dispel Sun Quan's wariness. , some veterans of the Sun family were consumed, but there were still many veterans of the Sun family who followed Zhou Yu.

So from the beginning, it was difficult for everyone to unify their opinions.

Pan Zhang first made a suggestion, saying that some of the garrisoned generals should be left behind, and then he would gather the rest of the troops, advance by water, and march straight to Xiangyang. While Cao Cao's army was not yet stable, Cao Cao, who was sure to be killed, abandoned his helmet and armor, howling and screaming...

Cheng Pu did not comment on Pan Zhang's words.

Jiang Qin tried to smooth things over and said, "General Pan's words are reasonable, but they are not the best policy." Now that Cao's army has newly conquered Jingbei, it is in full momentum, and it has cavalry that can go back and forth in a moment to protect the countryside. Although our army has the convenience of boats, it also has the worry of waterway congestion. If Cao's army divides its troops to block the Han River, it will become The disadvantage is that we can’t rest assured that our troops will point at Jingbei..."

Before Pan Zhang could say anything else, Sun Shao on the side said first, "There are a lot of troops in Xiangyang, but Cao's army is less than 10,000 people. It can't be postponed for a long time. This shows that the courage of Cao's army is not mine. If we join forces together, , there is still a chance of victory, if we divide our troops or take advantage of them, we must not ignore it... Moreover, the mountains and rivers in the north of Jing and south of Henan are gentle. If the cavalry guerrillas invade, I am afraid that we will be stretched thin and the food supply will be worried..."

Pan Zhang added that if you were afraid of this or that, you might as well attack Dangyang in one go and capture and kill Cao Cao in one fell swoop. Naturally, Cao Cao's troops would collapse in fear, and Jingzhou would be within easy reach.

Jiang Qin glanced at Pan Zhang and said slowly: "It's easy to say. Dangyang Changban is connected from north to south and narrow from east to west. If we attack with the whole army, how can we expand it?" Even if there is a naval force on the side, is Cao's army defenseless? If the stalemate lasts for a long time, and Cao Jun's flank attack on our Jiangdong waterway, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain, and he would be ashamed not to fight. 』

Pan Zhang said angrily: "This will not work, and that will not work. If we can withdraw our troops, everyone will be happy and the whole world will celebrate!" 』

Cheng Pu glared at Pan Zhang, "My lord has entrusted us with important military matters. We should be cautious, lest we fail to live up to our lord's kindness!" Now that the enemy is in front of us, we are discussing and making decisions, and everyone is expressing their opinions. Naturally, we need to learn from the strengths of everyone and choose the good ones and follow them. Could it be that if we don't listen to you, we are cowardly? If we don't attack with the whole army, we are incompetent? Since you are a general, you should be measured! 』

On the one hand, Cheng Pu was a veteran, and on the other hand, what he said was reasonable. Pan Zhang had to stand up and apologize to Zhou Huan Tuan Tuan, which was considered to have exposed the lie just now.

Jiang Qin continued his analysis: "If we lead the troops to garrison Dangyang in Maicheng, Cao's army can attack Jiangxia and cut off our retreat. We must be on guard... Now that Jiangling has gained new ground, the people's sentiment is not stable, and there are many rural roads." We are familiar with it. If Cao Jun splits his troops and takes a detour, disrupting the place, it will be a headache...Although the Governor is in Jiangxia, he can provide reinforcements, but he also needs to defend Cao Jun's new city, and he may not be able to do it..."

Sun Shao suddenly said: "Cao's army will definitely divide his troops to harass!" Don’t forget that Cao’s army is assisted by Cai, who is familiar with the place! 』

Cheng Pu nodded and said, "Changxu's words are pertinent, and we really need to be on guard." 』

But Sun Shao shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant... Just imagine, Cao Jun has Cai's advantage, so he should divide his troops to move in. But if we can pretend that we want to surround Dangyang, then Cao Jun must think that our rear is empty and we are in a hurry." Rushing forward... coupled with the division of troops to invade, there must be someone who comes first and someone who comes late, some who come early and some who come late. If..."

Jiang Qin suddenly realized, clapped his hands and said in a deep voice: "You can wait for a while and break them one by one!" By then, Cao Jun will know that all his troops will be defeated, and his morale will inevitably be decadent. Even if he does not retreat, it will be difficult to maintain! Maybe you can win without fighting, don't attack from below! 』

Cheng Pu nodded and said, "What Chang Xu said makes sense!" ” At the same time, seeing that most people recognized Sun Shao’s opinion, he looked solemn and began to assign tasks. Cheng Pu ordered Pan Zhang to lead the troops to Dangyang to stop Cao's army from going south. In addition, he mobilized troops to allow Jiang Qin to sail in boats in Sichuan to facilitate transportation back and forth to block Cao's army. In addition, he also reported the battle plan to Sun Quan. By the way, Send a copy to Zhou Yu...

……（*′ Pan`）……

Cao Hong found himself in a dilemma.

War is sometimes like a casino. The winner is eager to take it all, while the loser not only loses everything, but even loses his life.

When children take multiple-choice questions, of course adults want them all.

Cao Hong naturally wanted them all at the beginning. He felt that among the soldiers and generals sent by General Hussar this time, the only one who needed special attention and precautions was Xu Huang, and the others had never heard of it. Naturally, Want to take them all...

Then he chewed on the hard rock Huang Zhong.

There is always a big gap between dreams and reality. It's like everyone has chosen the location of the house and even the decoration company has inspected it. The rest is just a matter of a small lottery ticket. But something went wrong on such a small piece of paper, which implicated the loss of such a large house...

Attacking Zhuyang, Cao Hong originally thought it would be as simple as buying a number that the director of the lottery center had given him. However, he didn't expect whether he could win the lottery or not. The director went in. Well, it wasn't that many, just four. . Therefore, Cao Hong believes that he only lost one striker, and his main force has not suffered serious damage, so the capital is still there.

Since he found that the Zhuyang lottery channel was a bit confusing, Cao Hong naturally couldn't use the existing soldiers to go head-to-head with Xu Huang. Although Xu Huang was not as famous as Taishi Ci, But after all, he is a veteran of the Hussars for many years. No matter how bad he is, Cao Hong, whose soldiers are now uneven, cannot compete head-on in the wild, so Cao Hong must have only two choices left.

One is to work hard and defend Fancheng conscientiously. The advantage of this is that there is not much risk, but it has to withstand increasing external pressure, like continuous inflation. At first, Cao Hong had this The number seems quite good, but as time goes by, by the time the second senior brother also learns somersault clouds, ahem, Xu Huang leads the army south, and the amount in Cao Hong's hands must be somewhat insufficient...

Another option is to buy the package again, open the box again, and draw the prize again.

Cao Hong was unwilling to defend Fancheng, so he could only come to win the prize again.

Youdao says that once you get a prize, you feel good for a while, and if you keep getting a prize, you will always feel good. As long as the dream is not shattered, no one can stop Cao Hong from pursuing happiness...

When Cao Hong came over, Zhuge Liang had not yet put on his clothes...he had not yet had time to put on his armor.

It's not that Zhuge Liang wants to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf and show off his composure, but Zhuge Kongming really doesn't have much experience wearing armor, and the armor Fei Qian specially issued to him is naturally heavier for tight protection, and Zhuge Kong Ming is not a military commander on weekdays, so he usually doesn't wear it. Now when he goes into battle, he has to wear a full set of armor, from the pocket to the skirt. Zhuge Liang can't wear it all by himself. , even with the help of guards, Zhuge Liang would inevitably be a little confused.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang just looked in a hurry wearing the armor, which did not mean that there was a panic in the layout of the military base. After learning that Cao Hong had sent troops to the north, Liao Hua and Zhuge also discussed for a long time. Finally, they believed that the suspicion of Cao Hong's deliberate interference could not be ruled out, causing Liao Hua and Zhuge to leave the military base and then attack halfway. Therefore, on the one hand, in order to complete the The established goal also reduced the risk of advancing. Zhuge and Liao Hua did not take the opportunity to attack Fancheng with a weak force. Instead, they used this period of time to strengthen the defense system of the military fortress...

The decision-making of Liao Hua and Zhuge also surprised Cao Hong. He thought that he would turn around and catch Zhuge and Liao Hua stealing chickens without hesitation, but he did not expect that the two of them were honestly building a military fortress!

Zhuge Liang was fully dressed. He felt that he was very powerful, but he had some difficulty in moving. Zhuge Liang reached out and picked up a bunch of swords, but once he got started, he felt a little awkward no matter how he held them, so he simply put the swords away, picked up his gold-painted fan, opened and closed it twice with a clatter, and suddenly felt that this was the way to go. Comfortable.

"Commander Liao!" ” Zhuge shouted towards Liao Hua, “To defeat the enemy in battle, I am not as good as Mr. Liao - Mr. Liao can do his best, don’t worry about me!” 』Liao Hua's position was Wuguan Guards General, and his professional title was Wuguan Ling.

Liao Hua laughed loudly and nodded immediately, "Kong Ming, please rest assured here, for a certain plundering formation!" "Liao Hua saw that Zhuge had already put on his armor, so he didn't need to worry too much about the arrows flying around, so he concentrated on commanding the soldiers.

Since he was about to raid the formation, he couldn't just stand and watch the excitement. Zhuge Liang took a few steps forward, and then shouted: "By order of Commander Liao!" Sword and axe-hand, anyone who crosses me will be killed according to the law! 』

At that moment, a row of swordsmen and axemen responded suddenly, standing on both sides of Zhuge Liang.

The raiding formation was not like a costume idol drama. Two generals stepped forward and circled 1VS1, and then a bunch of people stood behind and stared, even if they had the opportunity to make a sneak attack, they did not take action. It’s not an anti-Japanese drama. It clearly shows the soldiers desperately fighting for their bayonets, and then the political commissar is looking around with a small pistol. He has to wait until the critical moment. The protagonist can’t hold on, and the Japanese’s bayonets are almost piercing his eyes. After he got up, he hit the enemy with a sharp and precise shot, specifically between the eyebrows...

The swordsmen and axemen on Zhuge Liang's left and right are not just decorations. If there were any deserters who came to Zhuge and encountered the red line, they would definitely be captured immediately, the military law would be enacted, their heads would be chopped off, and their heads would be put forward!

Of course, this is just in case. The hussars led by Liao Hua are not ordinary conscripts. They have been trained for at least a year, and coupled with complete armor protection, they are even more impressive when fighting together. Although the power of the war machine was smaller than that of Cao Jun in terms of numbers, it was still fighting bravely from a high position under the leadership of Liao Hua. Cao Jun was unable to achieve any decent results. Two consecutive waves of attacks were repulsed, only to be defeated. There were bodies scattered everywhere.

Youdao worked hard, and after two consecutive attacks, he was unable to tear holes in the defense system of the general base. Cao Hong felt a little nervous.

Could it be that I'm having bad luck this time?

Cao Hong stared at the banner with the general's surname on the military base, "Liao", Runan's Liao family? Or the Wuwei Liao family? But whether it is the Runan Liao family or the Wuwei Liao family, I have never heard of anyone who can endure the military, or who has inherited family knowledge...

Just like most gamblers, after seeing two big hands in a row, they always feel that the probability of the next low hand is doubled again and again, so Cao Hong gritted his teeth and took out the last trump card. He slapped it viciously on the gambling table!
