Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 316
At the turn of summer and autumn, the weather began to cool down.Although the sun is high in the sky, the temperature is a little lower than in summer.The thatched cottage in the middle of the bamboo forest is even more cool and pleasant.

"Your Majesty, please dress!"

Xia Houhui patted the robe, carefully checked the corners of the collar, held up the large robe, and said sweetly.

Liu Chan asked with lingering fear: "Is there no centipede?"

"The concubine has already checked, and there is no centipede."

Only then did Liu Chan put his hands into his sleeves with confidence, and put on his outer robe.

Liu Chan looked at Xia Houhui who was tidying his collar in front of him, and complained: "This thatched cottage is very good for summer vacation, but there are a little more insects and snakes. After a few days, the weather will be cooler, and you and I will go back to Liangshan."

Xiahou Hui looked up at Liu Chan and smiled, his eyes bent into crescents, and said, "I really didn't expect that the majestic emperor is afraid of centipedes."

Liu Chan smiled awkwardly, and suddenly stretched out his hand to scratch Xiahou Hui's willow waist, which he couldn't hold, and said teasingly, "I made you laugh!"

"Hehe, Your Majesty is itching, itching. Stop it, I know I'm wrong!" Xia Houhui blocked Liu Chan's hand with his arm and smiled.

"What's wrong?"

"Heh~ heh. Your majesty, don't scratch me. The fault of the concubine is that the concubine is not afraid of centipedes, but your majesty is afraid!"

Xia Houhui blocked Liu Chan's arm, fled behind the screen, pointed his head towards Liu Chan, and said jokingly.

At this time, Li Gui lightly knocked on the wooden door and said, "Your Majesty, all the adults have arrived at the courtyard."

"right away!"

Liu Chan straightened his collar by himself, said harsh words at Xiahou Hui, and said, "Tomorrow, don't you want to get up!"

Xia Houhui looked at Liu Chan with his head, and seemed to think of something, blushing, flushed with shame, and whispered: "As long as you don't kneel!"

Liu Chan arrived in Hanzhong in the first month, and it was nearly half a year in June. The palace thought that there was no one to take care of His Majesty, so Xia Houhui was sent to Hanzhong first to take care of Liu Chan's daily necessities.

Liu Chan naturally didn't hear Xia Houhui's muttering, but pushed open the door and walked towards the courtyard.Li Gui and Zhongyu Linlang followed closely behind.

Liu Chan stepped into the hall, and several important civil and military figures sat on both sides of the hall and saluted Liu Chan.

Liu Chan waved his sleeves and turned his back, instead of taking a seat, he went straight to the map hanging on the wall.

Everyone also got up and followed Liu Chan in an orderly manner according to their status.

Liu Chan stopped, looked at the map on the wall, and asked, "Have any battle reports arrived recently, especially the military reports from the Prime Minister's direction."

Liao Li walked behind, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's Battle Report has just arrived today."

Liu Chan looked up at the first city of Gaoping on the map, and said, "Say!"

Liao Li spread out the towel and silk, described the general content, and said: "The prime minister has defeated Cao Zhen, the great Sima against the Wei Dynasty, in the first city of Gaoping. He beheaded 20,000 people and captured more than 20,000 Wei soldiers. [-] people. According to the captives, most of these [-] people are the Chinese army against Wei."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was overjoyed, with smiles on their faces.

Liu Chan loosened his clenched fists behind his back slightly, and said lightly: "Shan, this battle can be said to hurt the vitality of Ni Wei."

Liao Li put on the scarf, looked at Liu Chan's back, and continued: "General Deng Ai killed Wei generals Dai Ling and Wei Ping, and conquered the first city of Gaoping. Now the prime minister is stationed in the first city of Gaoping to break the Xiaoguan Road, Zhang He hanged alone in Liangzhou, and together with Cao Zhen at Xiaoguan, waited for his supply to run out, and the troops retreated."

Liu Chan looked at the map, groaned for a while, and asked, "The Prime Minister, who is he to send to fight Zhang Yun? But Zijun!"

Liao Li took a step forward, pointing to Yuyin City on the map, and said, "Exactly, there are soldiers to help. According to General Wang's latest battle report, Zhang He's army has withdrawn to Yuyin City, and General Wang led his army to pursue it overnight. "

Liu Chan nodded, glanced at the map of Liangzhou, and sighed, "It's enough for the prime minister to make arrangements, but judging from the current situation, our army is still a long time away from taking Liangzhou!"

Liu Chan took the small wooden stick, pointed to Jincheng County and Guzang City, and said: "Jincheng County is defended by Yang Fu, the governor of Liangzhou against the Wei Dynasty, and Guzang City is the governor of Liangzhou. These two cities are difficult to conquer for a while. Our army was blocked by the Under these two cities, it is so far away to seize the coolness."

Indeed, from the map, Guzang City is blocking the main road of the Hexi Corridor, and there is no way to bypass it unless it is captured; and Jincheng is the road that the Han directly goes to Liangzhou from the north of Longyou. Once it gets stuck, the Han can only Detour in the direction of Wushaoling, and attack Guzang City in the northwest.

Liao Li stroked his beard and murmured, and said: "Based on the current situation, there are two important places to seize Liangzhou. If we can seize Liangzhou before winter, it will be easy to capture Liangzhou. It is only a matter of time."

Liu Chan turned his head to look at Liao Li, and said, "Gong Yuan has any great ideas, why don't you tell me?"

"Promise!" Liao Li answered with cupped hands, then walked a few steps, thought for a while, and said, "Judging from the current situation, it is not easy to completely capture Liangzhou before winter. Liangzhou has a vast land and few people. If the great Han wants to restore Liangzhou, they need to capture Guzang City first, wait for its gates to open, drive straight in, waste several months of work, and then capture Liangzhou."

"If the big Han can't capture Guzang City, it is necessary to gather heavy troops to capture Jincheng County, break Liangzhou's arm, take advantage of the trend and go northward to capture Zhiyang, Yunjie, Lingju, Cangsong and other counties in turn, and besiege Guzang City next spring. Thousands of troops marched west, and several counties in the west of Liangzhou surrendered themselves."

Hearing this, Liu Chan nodded slightly, and said, "Gong Yuan's words are reasonable, what is the movement of Wen Chang's army?"

Liao Li hesitated for a while, and said: "General Wei was blocked by Niwei in Siwang Gorge due to insufficient troops. However, the prime minister has sent two generals, Chen Shi and Gao Xiang, to help the battle. It shouldn't be long before they arrive. Under Jincheng, start a siege. Your Majesty might as well wait for news from General Zhenbei to see how General Zhenbei is progressing."

"Based on Gong Yuan, it's best to capture Jincheng County before winter and attack Guzang City next spring?" Liu Chan looked at Liao Li and smiled.

"Exactly, Zhang Yun may flee northward to Guzang City. Zhang He's military strategy is based on Zhang He's military strategy. It is very difficult for Zijun to capture Guzang City. It is best to tune Zijun's troops to the west and capture Jincheng County together with General Wei!" Liao Li Said confidently.

Liu Chan also didn't quite believe that Wang Ping could defeat Zhang Yun and capture Guzang City, but in order to show his support for Wang Ping, he could only bite the bullet and said, "The battle is undecided, so how can we make random guesses. I hope Zi All of them were able to defeat Zhang Yun, capture Guzang City, and help us pacify Liangzhou before the Han Dynasty."

Liao Li didn't say much anymore, lowered his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty can send a letter to the Prime Minister, asking him to pay more attention."

Liu Chan suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Yes! How is the movement of Chen Cangdao?"

"Your Majesty, six hundred reinforcements arrived at Maling Pass one after the other. General Wei Zhen of Wei raised his troops to attack Maling Pass for several days, but they were all stopped by General Po Wei. Prefect Yang went to Baima Qiang to persuade him to send troops assistance, but now there are two hundred Qiang Di tribesmen from other tribes rushing to Maling Pass to support." Liao Li said.

"Good, judging from the current situation, Maling Pass is safe for the time being!" Liu Chan said reassuringly.

"exactly!"

Liu Chan stretched out his index finger and said, "However, don't be careless. Gong Yuan has to pay more attention to the battle at Maling Pass, and don't let Ni Wei break through to Wudu County!"

"No!" Liao Li clapped his hands in response.

"Han Ji Guangwen Emperor Ji" Jianxing eight years, the prime minister defeated Cao Zhen, Zhang He fled north to Guzang, Wang Ping attacked him.Liao Li said Zhongzu said: "He is a famous general in the world, and it is difficult to defeat him in peace. Why don't you let him go west and join the left general in Jincheng to conquer Jincheng. In the spring of next year, we will attack Guzang and settle Liangzhou." The ancestor said: "Ping's general is around He, and Ping is good at understanding people's hearts. If he hits him, he can win. Why wait for next year in Dingliang!" The consequences are from Zhongzu's words.

Zhongzu was able to know his talents by reading people, and knowing people so far, the ancient sages are far away!
