Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 230 Do I know about military matters?

In 229 AD, the seventh year of Jianxing, April.

Hanzhong County, Liangshan, Hanzhong Dudufu.

More than a dozen bronze oil lamps illuminate the simple hall.

A large map hangs on the wall of the hall, and Liu Chan is holding an oil lamp to mark the latest battle situation on it.

"General Zuo went north to Huangzhong, is there any news recently?" Liu Chan held up an oil lamp to illuminate the location of Huangzhong, and asked lightly.

Dong Yun flipped through the memorial and reported: "The latest news from General Zuo (Wei Yan) is that General Zuo has breached the Qiang granary and seized a large amount of military supplies for the battle in Huangzhong."

"Well! This is good news. Sun Tzu said: 'The land where people enter is deep, and those with many cities behind them are the most important areas'. The army is in an important area. The most important thing is to supply food and grass. As long as there is no shortage of food and grass. General Zuo should be fine. !" Liu Chan looked at the map and said happily.

"General Zuo used his troops boldly and outstandingly, and Guo Huai was also a good general. It is the old minister who is worried that it will be difficult to defeat Guo Huai when he goes north to Huangzhong," Dong Yun said.

"Haha, don't worry about Huo Zhao!"

"Wen Chang is good at tactics, but short at strategy; he is good at battles, but lacks in military strategy. Thousands of people fight in battles is his specialty. Although Guo Huai has been in the army for many years and is familiar with the art of war, compared with Wen Chang, his tactics are inferior. It's too short!" Liu Chan said with a chuckle, comfortingly.

After a pause, Liu Chan continued: "Even if it is difficult for Wen Zhang to break Guo Huai, with Wen Zhang's talent, he will be able to retreat completely."

Having said that, Liu Chan's heart was also up and down, uneasy.Although Liu Chan met Wei Yan and promised to attack Wei Yan, most of the reason was Zhuge Liang's words of advice in the pavilion, which made Liu Chan make up his mind and let Wei Yan go north.

The reason why he is so confident in front of Dong Yun is naturally because Liu Chan, as the supreme leader, cannot be timid in front of him and the rest of the people at this time, otherwise how will he be able to convince the public in the future.

Dong Yun heard the words, cupped his hands and praised: "Your Majesty's words are very true, and I know it!"

"The Prime Minister left Ankang County in the east, what is the current situation?" Liu Chan asked, staring at Ankang County on the map.

"Currently, the Prime Minister did not come with the latest battle report, but passed the Ankang prefect Jufu's military information to Hanzhong." Dong Yun opened the memorial of Jufu and said.

Jufu is one of the most unique prefects of the Han Dynasty. The current prefects of the Dahan basically realized the separation of the army and the government, but there are only a few people, such as Liao Hua, the prefect of Yinping, and Jufu, the prefect of Ankang.

It may be inappropriate to call them prefects, but it may be more appropriate to call them governors.Liao Hua, the prefect of Yinping, was jointly led by Ma Liang, the governor of Qinzhou, and Huang Quan, the governor.Jufu, the prefect of Ankang, is even more strange. The military is under the jurisdiction of Zhao Yun, the governor of Hanzhong, and is included in the defense system of Hanzhong; the government is also led by Ma Liang, the governor of Qinzhou.

"How is the battle in Ankang County?"

"Reporting to the country, Ju Taishou said in the letter that Wei Hussar General Sima Yi's troops divided into two groups. One route went upstream along the Han River and was blocked at Xiguan; the other route went north by land to attack Wuxiang County." Dong Yun. Open the memorial and read it.

Liu Chan frowned slightly and asked, "Is this the battle report?"

"Yes, that's all what Taishou Ju said in the military newspaper." Dong Yun looked at Liu Chan's back on the steps and said.

"How are the other battles going?" Liu Chan asked with his usual expression.

"General Fei Yao of Empress Wei led more than [-] people to take Chencang Road and arrived at Beichuan City, where he was blocked by Hanchang Tinghou (Liu Lin). General Zhenbei also set off from Seoul to Wudu for support."

"Wei You General Zhang He divided his troops into various lanes in Guanzhong, planted many flags, but he didn't know which way the main force was on. The governor of Zhao was stationed in Lecheng, and ordered the Han army to stand in line at each pass to prepare for Zhang He."

After Dong Yun finished reading one by one, he took Huang Quan's report from the case and spread it out, saying: "General Chariot and Cavalry led an army to fight fiercely with Cao Zhen, the great Sima of Wei, at the passes of Longshan Mountain. Enter. The pastor ordered (Ma Dai) to lead thousands of cavalry to garrison and return to the middle road to prevent the Wei army from bypassing Xiaoguan and going south to Longyou."

Liu Chan took an oil lamp, illuminated the map, looked at it for a long time, and said slowly: "Longyou is guarded by chariot and cavalry generals, and there is no problem in Longyou. Although the road back to the middle can reach Longyou, the Wei army's food and grass are easily cut off. Riding south to harass, and with Bo Zhan leading the cavalry to defend, you can rest easy!"

"As for the battle of Ankang in the east, it is enough to leave it to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister will fight against Wei Sima Yi, and it will be like a broken bamboo. What is Sima Yi to be afraid of?"

Liu Chan pointed to the passes in Hanzhong with his right hand, and said slowly: "As long as our army defends Hanzhong, Cao Wei will be poor!"

Dong Yun closed the memorial, cupped his hands and praised: "Your Majesty is good at military affairs, I admire you!"

Liu Chan waved his hands brazenly, and said with a smile: "I just have confidence in the generals. General Chariots and Cavalry fought against Cao Zhen in Weishui earlier, and his advances and retreats were orderly. Although there are few troops this time, there is the danger of Longshan. Longyou What is there to be afraid of for the support of the big surname?"

"And the prime minister has everything in terms of writing, Tao and martial arts. His writing is comparable to Xiao He, and his martial arts is comparable to Han Xin. The battle of Ankang is entrusted to the prime minister, so I can rest easy."

Just when Dong Yun was about to speak, there was an announcement from the door.

"Your Majesty, the Zhenbei General Wang Ping and the Pian General Huo Yi are asking to see you!" said the attendant, begging to see him outside.

Liu Chan and Dong Yun looked at each other, both confused.

"Xuan!" Liu Chan put aside his doubts and said.

"Chen Wangping and Huo Yi pay homage to Your Majesty." The two stepped inside and knelt down to report.

"Zijun, Shaoxian, didn't you two resist Fei Yao in Wudu? Why did you come to Liangshan, but you have something to see?" Liu Chan asked curiously.

"I report to Your Majesty that the military capital is all right, but Fei Yao is blocked in Beichuan City. I want to see Your Majesty because I have a plan to defeat the enemy. I hope Your Majesty will allow it." Huo Yi said with his hands clasped.

Wang Ping went on to say: "When I arrived at Chencang Road, I heard General Huo's plan and thought it was feasible, but I didn't dare to trust you, that's why I asked to see your Majesty, and I hope His Majesty will make a decision. As for Chen Cang Road's defense, I have already arranged it. General Ji Xin led his troops forward to support."

Hearing this, Liu Chan nodded, satisfied that the two did not act privately.

Liu Chan nodded, pointed at the map, and said with a smile: "I don't know what strategies the future general will have, I can teach you."

After finishing speaking, Liu Chan dragged the oil lamp and motioned for his friend to take it.

Huo Yi blushed, bowed slightly to Liu Chan, took a few steps forward, and took the oil lamp.

Regardless of the fact that after the Battle of Yiling, Wang Ping first followed Zhuge Liang in the southern expedition, served as the captain of the west, pacified Yueyi County, and then followed the army in the northern expedition and was promoted to a high-ranking official.

However, Huo Yi followed Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang in obscurity, and only served as the secretary of the inner government and a visitor, conveying government affairs and military information for Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang.But as everyone knows, in the past few years, Zhuge Liang has actually been guiding Huo Yi in handling military and government affairs.

It can be said that Huo Yi was No. 1 cultivated by Zhuge Liang, until Zhuge Qiao entered Shu.

Huo Yi also followed Dong Yun, Guan Xing, Liao Li and others to complete "Yizhou Civil Affairs", and assisted Dong Yun to go deep into Nanzhong to complete "Yizhou Civil Affairs". After fighting fiercely against Zhang Yun, Liu Chan was reluctant to appoint him to guard Chencang Road after he captured Long.

In a few years, Huo Yi has gradually grown from a man on paper to a general with a strategy, and he is well-versed in both literary and military tactics.More importantly, Huo Yi has been friends with Liu Chan since childhood and is loyal to Liu Chan.

Therefore, in terms of future, Huo Yi's future road may be wider than Wang Ping's.

Huo Yi pointed to Chen Cangdao on the map, talking eloquently.
