Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 671
April, Yiyang.

"Hongnong County, household 11, mouth 91. There is Tie Guan, in the Strider Pond." In the evening, Wang Ping was reading "Han Shu" in the camp, and Liu Min was also discussing one or two .

Wang usually likes to discuss classics with military generals who were born in the scholar's tent in the tent before eating.

However, when it was time to eat, Wang Ping was very observant of the rules, he was taught not to speak when he was eating, and not to speak when sleeping. Although he was born as a barbarian and vulgar person, he was very observant of etiquette and sat upright.

"Today's Hongnong County is no longer the heyday of the Han Dynasty. It is a fluke to be able to have the number of five to two at that time." Wang Ping put down the "Han Shu" and commented: "But from this, we can know that three How did Jin Zhihan gain a foothold in the Central Plains with the death of Yiyang?"

"According to Yiyang officials, Hongnong has more than [-] households and nearly [-] people. It is far less than that of the Han Dynasty, and it is also not as good as Yiyang in the Warring States Period." Liu Min placed the tableware and said: "In the Warring States Period, Su and Qin There is a saying: Han is more than [-] miles away, with hundreds of thousands of armors. The world's strong bows, crossbows, and sharp swords all come from Han. It can be seen where the advantages and disadvantages are. Therefore, Qin defeated Yiyang and set up three rivers to see the Zhou Dynasty. .”

"However, after the Han Dynasty, Hangu Pass was gradually abandoned, and Tongguan was placed behind. The world gradually had iron mines, and it was difficult for Yiyang to rely on the iron mines of Strider. Therefore, it gradually declined, and then it did not return to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty."

During the Warring States Period, South Korea built an iron army relying on the Yiyang Iron Mine. However, with the development of the Iron Age, the Yiyang Iron Mine lost its advantage and naturally gradually weakened.

The attendants brought the food, and it was time to eat, but Wang Ping still couldn't help the desire to talk, and continued to discuss: "Zhang Zi (Zhang Yi) once said: Send troops to Sanchuan, attack Xincheng and Yiyang, according to Jiuding, according to the map book , relying on the Zhou family to give orders to the world, the world will dare not listen, this is also the king's business."

"However, it is fortunate that Sima Cuo fought hard on the basis of reason, and said that he would take advantage of the advantages of defeating Bashu, so that Qin could occupy Bashu completely, make Bashu rich, and go east to fight for the world. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for Qin to destroy the world!"

Therefore, Cao Shuang recommended Chen Tai to serve as governor of Bingzhou and general Jia Zhenwei, but Man Chong still presided over military and political affairs. After the capital was moved to Yecheng, Chen Tai would be in charge after the government was stabilized. Let Chen Tai adapt for a while. Through the difficult period of Cao Wei.

Guo Huai, who was in armor, got on his horse and prepared to lead his troops to Yiyang alone.And Sima Yi also ordered his soldiers to turn around and head towards Taoqiusai.

Wang Ping stood up and said: "Don't be too happy, it's unknown whether Xiaoxing can hold the dangerous point, and it's also unknown whether our army can stop the army against Wei."

After speaking, Wang Ping took the chopsticks and ate quietly in his seat. The discussion had faded away, and the tent was quite quiet.

"Village Zhuge!"

On the hillside, Sima Yi stood on his horse, overlooking a large number of Wei soldiers who were marching on the road.

When the two of them were eating, the personal guards came in from outside the tent, presented the battle report from Jufu, and placed it next to Wang Ping's tableware.

The strategy of attacking Tongguan was actually thought up by Wang Ping first, and then handed over to Zhuge Liang for review.Zhuge Liang refined some of the content and sent it back to Wang Ping.Wang Pingcai gathered people in Wuguan to discuss sending troops to Tongguan.

The scouts with the flag on their backs came galloping from the north, dismounted at the corner of the slope, ran uphill quickly, and saluted, saying: "Report to the Taiwei, the general of Shu will lead the Shu army to cross Xiaoshan and break through Taoqiu fortress."

"No!" While speaking, Sima Yi remembered that Taoqiusai was an important node on the Weihan Ancient Road, and all roads had to pass through here. If a fort was built here, it must be to cut off the connection between Tongguan and Luoyang.Then the goal of the Shu army is about to come out, and the people in Guanzhong will take Tongguan, so supporting Tongguan is to stop the reinforcements.

And Zhuge Liang, who was ill in Longzhong, was playing Go with Xu Shu. Xu Shu said with a smile, "Kong Ming's strategy is quite tricky. I wonder if Sima Yi can see through it?"

After thinking about this, Sima Yi suddenly realized, and said: "The Shu army did not intend to harass our army and move the capital, but must want to take Tongguan. This is a vicious strategy, and it must not be Wang Ping. How can Jufu be so quick."

"promise!"

Then Wang Ping's troops in Yiyang were just supporting. After all, the Shu Han war had just ended, and there would definitely not be a large-scale army dispatched.

Wang Ping, who was eating, glanced at it with his eyes, and ate indifferently, without looking again.

……

After a pause, Sima Yi warned: "Bo Ji is new to Luoyang, so he must not be familiar with Luoyang. This time, just restrain Wang Ping and prevent him from going east to harass Luoyang."

As the Han had just finished fighting, the army rested and reorganized. Although the two states were united this time, there were still not many troops.In addition, the goal of this battle is to conquer Tongguan and plunder some people.Therefore, the Dahan's battle this time, except for Tongguan, is basically containment, to divide the troops of Cao Wei's army.

Putting down a chess piece, Zhuge Liang coughed and said, "Luoyang is his confidant's vital point. He dare not ignore it. Now that he has moved his capital, Tongguan is difficult to take care of. It must be difficult to see through. Brother Yuanzhi, this strategy also has the merits of Zijun. If you refine one or two, what can I say about my strategy?"

Luoyang, Luoshui.

In order to prevent the Shu Han from taking advantage of Cao Wei's relocation of the capital to the north to attack, Sima Yi arranged the main sergeant at the southern border. He did not expect the Shu Han's intention to attack Tongguan.

"A certain slip of the tongue!" Xu Shu shook his head in apology.

Sima Yi didn't care whether it was Zhuge Liang's plan or not, so he called Guo Huai and said, "Boji, Ju Fu occupies Taoqiusai, and he wants to lose the way of Wei Han. The general of Shu, Wang Ping, came to attack from Yiyang, and he must help Ju Fu." Coordinator. Therefore, you divide your troops and go forward to defend the Yiyang area to prevent Wang Ping from advancing eastward. A certain army will rush to seize Taoqiu fortress and open the way to Weihan."

Liu Min put the food in front of Wang Ping, and Ying He said: "General Wei's words are reasonable. If the country wants to rule the world, it should benefit the country. However, the hawkers like Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo are big businessmen. The peddlers only see the food in front of them. Profit, you don’t know what you will get in the future. A big business person has a long-term vision, takes the big from the small, and can worry about future plans.”

"What!" Sima Yi's face was startled, and he said in doubt, "What's the reason why Wang Ping went to take Taoqiusai instead of attacking Luoyang?"

As for Guo Huai's position after leaving office, Chen Tai and Chen Xuanbo, the sons of Sikong Chen Qun, will succeed him.In the early years, Chen Tai followed Cao Shuang to make suggestions, and he made great achievements in ambushing Liu Ba in the battle of Guanzhong.There was also the Battle of Anfeng, which blocked Sun Quan's return to the country.

"It's reasonable! After taking Jingnan today, we should go north again and take the rebellion against Wei and Henan. At that time, the foundation of the great Han world will be established!"

Ever since Wang Ping led the army and read history, he has always believed that Qin's destruction of Bashu was one of the greatest choices Qin made, instead of following Zhang Yi's remarks and participating in the disputes in the Central Plains prematurely.

After Cao Shuang talked with Sima Yi, Guo Huai was appointed as Luoyang's left guard, responsible for Luoyang's military affairs.But because he just came here, he followed Sima Yi around, thinking he was familiar with the situation in Luoyang.Today, Sima Yi asked Guo Huai to stop Wang Ping's eastward trend, which is also because of his trust in Guo Huai.

Liu Min smiled, and said: "The attack on Tongguan is halfway done. Now as long as Xiaoxing defends the critical point and cuts off the reinforcements against the Wei Dynasty, Tongguan's soldiers will fall under the internal strife."

After the meal, Wang Ping rinsed his mouth, turned to Liu Min, and said, "Meng Gong, Xiaoxing has taken the Taolin Sai and is collecting supplies for later use."

When he heard that Wang Ping sent troops to Yiyang again, Sima Yi led his army to resist, lest they go deep into Luoyang and interfere with the transfer of the capital.

"promise!"

Zhuge Liang knew that he might not be able to survive this catastrophe, so in order to train Wang Ping, he deliberately did not come forward to command.Of course, there are also reasons why my body does not allow it.No matter what the current situation is, Zhuge Liang has already arranged his own affairs in advance.

Seeing Zhuge Liang take a sip of the decoction, Xu Shu asked again, "I wonder how Kong Ming is?"

"Sushi belongs to fate, and it's hard for ordinary people to change it. My life is sad this year." Zhuge Liang coughed and said.

"Can Kong Ming say that?" Xu Shu asked nervously.

Zhuge Liang remained silent, only the sound of his children and grandchildren reading could be heard in his ears.
