Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

When the sky was hazy in the early morning, three thousand cavalrymen on the south bank of the Weihe River set off from Chencang to Wuzhangyuan in mighty momentum.Among the crowd, Liu Chan, Huang Quan, Liao Li and others could be vaguely seen, surrounded by feathers and tigers.

Although Liu Chan said that he was going to conquer personally, he was still relatively low-key and did not make public in the army. Instead, after arriving at Huang Quan's camp in Chencang, he sneaked through the passage between Chencang and Weinan in the early morning of the next day, and went to Zhuge Liang's camp with Huang Quan.

Wearing armor and riding a bloody horse, Liu Chan pointed to a camp with thousands of people, and asked: "The soldiers in this camp are rigorous, and the camp is well placed. Who is in charge of this department?"

Huang Quan glanced at the passing camp and said, "Your Majesty, this camp is under the command of General Ma Bozhan (Ma Dai) of Zhenxi."

After Wang Ping withdrew his troops from Tangluo Road, Zhuge Liang withdrew his troops in the east and deployed them to the west of Wuzhangyuan to support Huang Quan's troops.The channel between the two armies was opened, so Huang Quan's troops often communicated with Zhuge Liang's army, and the transmission of letters was very convenient. In the past few months, Huang Quan often went to the Han army camp in Wuzhangyuan to meet with Zhuge Liang and discuss the army's battle plan.

Liu Chan pointed at Ma Dai's camp with a whip, and said with a smile, "That's right, come here, and reward Ma Qing with a hundred pieces of Shu brocade to encourage his heart; the soldiers in this camp will add food to encourage the army."

"promise!"

Li Qiu led a group of people, holding festival battles, galloped to the gate of Ma Dai's camp, reined in the reins, and shouted: "The emperor has an order, where is General Zhenxi?"

After a while, Ma Dai pressed his long sword, walked out slowly, cupped his hands and asked, "Dai is here, I wonder what the emperor has to say?"

Li Qiu held a saber in his hand, returned the salute slightly, and said in a loud voice: "The Son of Heaven ordered: Bo Zhan was able to govern the army well, and the camp was in order. Your Majesty is very pleased. I will reward Ma Qing with a hundred pieces of Shu brocade to encourage his heart; Food, to encourage the army."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ma Dai saluted.

Ma Dai looked at Li Qiu and asked curiously: "Dare to ask the angel, where is Your Majesty?"

Li Qiu got back on his horse, holding a stick in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "The Son of Heaven has arrived at the camp, and the cavalry that passed just now are the Emperor's guarding army."

"Chen Ma Dai thanked Your Majesty!" Ma Dai moved towards Wuzhangyuan with a little excitement, and saluted again.

Liu Chan's visit to the front line was relatively hidden all the way, and he had to be careful before reaching Zhuge Liang's camp.This time Liu Chan did not stay in Chencang but went to Wuzhangyuan, not Liu Chan's original intention, but Zhuge Liang's intention.Zhuge Liang was worried that Huang Quan's army would not have enough troops to protect the emperor, so he specially invited Liu Chan to Dazhai of the Han army.

Liu Chan rode the sweaty horse unhurriedly, looking at the surrounding scene, suddenly there was a deafening cheer from the Han army camp behind him.Liu Chan looked back and only heard the sound came from Ma Dai's camp, so he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, very satisfied.

Huang Quan rode his horse one and a half behind, and said with a smile when he saw the situation, "Your Majesty came to the front line in person, and the soldiers were greatly encouraged. Our army will definitely be able to conquer Chencang, clear the pass, and return to the old capital."

This time Liu Chan went from Longyou to the frontline to work as a soldier, but he did not come empty-handed, but brought sheep, pigs, sugar and other materials handed over from various counties and tribes in Lianglong to reward the army.Although it is difficult for everyone to improve their food, letting the elite soldiers eat some oil and water can still improve their morale.

Liu Chan took the reins, looked at the other side of the Wei River, and sighed: "The big man has no more soldiers to use. The only thing I can do is to rush to Guanzhong and work with the soldiers to inspire them to fight bravely."

Huang Quan cupped his hands towards Liu Chan, and said: "What your Majesty has done is my great plan for the revival of the Han Dynasty! The soldiers have been fighting abroad for more than half a year, and their vigor will be lost, and many people are homesick. Your Majesty will visit Guanzhong in person, reward the soldiers, and encourage the morale of the soldiers. Return to your heart and prepare for a big battle.”

"War?" Liu Chan asked back.

"Exactly!"

Huang Quan stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty didn't know anything about the army when it first arrived. According to Zijun's official documents, Sun Quan has withdrawn his troops from Xiangyang and settled in Jiangxia. The army of the Southern Expedition against Wei may be about to rush to Guanzhong to rescue Chen Cang."

Liu Chan frowned slightly, and said, "Isn't that because Sima Yi's army is stronger than ours?"

"Exactly, although the enemy is numerous, they are not as elite as our army, so they are not enough to fear. At that time, our army will have a battle with the bandit army. I think this may be a good opportunity to destroy the bandit army." Huang Quan analyzed.

When Liu Chan heard the words "good opportunity to destroy thieves", he couldn't help but cheer up, and asked: "I heard what you said, and thought this was a good opportunity to destroy thieves. I don't know where the opportunity is?"

Huang Quan pondered for a while and said, "I wonder if Your Majesty heard about the Battle of Changping?"

"Quite understanding." Liu Chan replied.

The Battle of Changping was a battle between Qin and Zhao during the Warring States Period in the Shangdang area.People study this battle, but they don't know much about the details, and they prefer to talk about Zhao Kuo who is on paper.

In fact, this battle fully demonstrated the capabilities of Bai Qiy and Qin's high-level officials.In contrast, the incompetence of Zhao Guo's top management is obvious.

Many people think that the Battle of Changping took place in three years, and they even started to analyze the food and grass supply of Qin and Zhao, but in fact, the Battle of Changping took place within half a year.In the first three years, Qin State tolerated the isolation of Zhao State from diplomatic and strategic geography.

Counting from the start of the war in April, Lian Po retreated to the Danshui defense line in July of that year and was replaced by Zhao Kuo that month. Zhao Kuo attacked with the whole army in August at the latest, which was actually only four months.

In fact, judging from the battle situation at that time, Lian Po had already seen through Qin's strategy. In fact, he had already made Zhao Jun invincible, and the initiative on the battlefield had also been transferred to Zhao Jun.If Lian Po has been in office, the Qin army will eventually have no room to take advantage of.

But it's a pity that the incompetent Zhao Guo's high-level executives were incompetent and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo.Faced with this move, Qin Guo secretly replaced the main general Wang Lu and appointed Bai Qi.Bai Qi feigned defeat and retreated, luring the enemy out of position, dispatching cavalry to attack and surround the rear for a long distance, and then divide, encircle, and annihilate them, and won the war.

The Battle of Changping, in short, was a battle of encirclement and annihilation cutting the battlefield.

And it is quite similar to the current battle of Guanzhong. Sima Yi could not hold on like Lian Po, until Sun Quan was defeated recently and Wei Jun reinforced Guanzhong.In addition, Chen Cang was besieged for a long time, so Sima Yi had to rescue him.Once rescued, war will inevitably break out between the Han and Wei dynasties. As for how to operate it depends on the abilities of the generals on both sides.

Huang Quan said meaningfully: "For Ni Wei, Chen Cang needs to be rescued, and how to rescue him is the most important thing."

Hearing this, Liu Chan looked at Huang Quan and asked curiously: "Huang Qing is planning to fight against the enemy, can you tell me?"

Huang Quan shook his head with a smile, and said: "Your Majesty is not in a hurry, the time has not come yet. I have a strategy to defeat the enemy now, and I need to let my minister plan it out."

Liu Chan looked at Huang Quan suspiciously, seeing that he didn't want to speak up, and it was hard to force him.
