Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 95
Wang Ping replied solemnly: "Gao Ding doesn't know the art of war. In the past, when the Later Han pacified Nanzhong, they often took the yak road. Gao Ding judged that our army would follow the yak road, so he sent the main force to garrison the yak and Dingze. The Ministry is stationed in Beishui County, how ignorant. But Gao Ding, although weaker than the art of war, is better than winning people's hearts, this person has self-knowledge."

"If you use the soldier's strategy, you must first pretend to be defeated by the soldiers to arrogate the morale of the army, and then go to the decisive battle. This plan is good. But this person is well aware of his own shortcomings, and I am afraid that he will be arrogant. It will take a lot of time. In addition, I The road to military rations is inconvenient, and a quick battle is needed.”

"Oh! Are there any plans?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Pausing for a while, Wang Ping bowed his head and cupped his hands, and said slowly: "Ping dare not speak out, Ping can only speak superficially. Our army arrived in Beishui before most of the enemy army. Therefore, our army has the potential to attack actively. Our army The enemy's movement is known, but the enemy's does not know our movement, so the enemy is clearly aware of us and we are secretly in the dark."

"Ping thinks that those who can't break the stronghold must attack the place they must save to make them leave the camp; predict the road the enemy must pass, deploy ambushes and reinforcements on the road, and when the enemy moves, take the opportunity to attack the troops. "Wang Ping looked up at Zhuge Liang's face, and said in a deep voice.

Zhuge Liang looked at Wang Ping with admiration. Wang Ping's words were exactly what Zhuge Liang thought.

Both of them hoped to use tactics to lure Gao Ding into the battle, but Deng Ai first pretended to be defeated by the troops, and then fought a decisive battle, defeating them in a field battle, and the time-consuming time is uncertain.

But Wang Ping's strategy is to mobilize the enemy's army, attack the places where they must save, realize the siege and rescue, and maximize the initiative he currently has.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, and continued to ask: "Zijun, what place do you think he must save?"

After hesitating for a while, Wang Ping said slowly: "Prime Minister, Ping hasn't made up his mind yet. If Ping's superficial opinion is feasible, how about discussing it with you?"

Zhuge Liang nodded approvingly, looked around at the crowd, and asked, "What do you think?"

Everyone was discussing immediately, and there was some noise in the camp, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly when he saw this.

Yang Yi observed Zhuge Liang's expression, stepped out and cupped his hands and said: "We are uncertain, please prime minister to decide!"

Everyone reacted and shouted in unison: "Prime Minister, please decide!"

"I thought you could use Zijun's strategy. As for attacking the place where he must save. As Zijun said, Gao Ding is good at winning people's hearts. After gathering with Gao Ding, he can attack the reinforcements from Yaniu County. Gao Ding is a peace of mind. Go to the rescue before meeting, and then set up an ambush on the road that must pass through." Zhuge Liang said after pondering for a while.

Ma Di went out and bowed his hands, and praised: "The prime minister is wise, and he is well versed in the art of war, and he will surely break through."

Not to be outdone, Yang Yi praised: "The prime minister knows people's hearts well, and the grandson of the ancients, Wu, is nothing more than that!"

Zhuge Liang, who had long been accustomed to the words of Ma Di and Yang Yi, looked as usual, and lightly shook his feather fan and said, "It's getting late, everyone, go to rest early, and we will be stationed here recently, waiting for Gaoding to gather. Reinforcement news."

Everyone said in unison: "No!" When they left the tent, the watchman outside the tent shouted: "The hour of Hai has come."

The tent fell silent instantly, and the lights in the tent were flickering. Zhuge Liang looked at the map and thought about military affairs alone before the case.

Regarding the question and answer in the account just now, Zhuge Liang was satisfied, especially Wang Ping.In recent years, the senior generals of the Han Dynasty have been withering one after another, and the only ones in the Han Kingdom who can make Zhuge Liang look up to are Wei Yan and Huang Quan.

Huang Quan is better at military strategy, but not good at fighting.Wei Yan has a serious personality problem. He is good at being in battle, but he is not good at military strategy.

Wang Ping was promoted by Liu Chan in the battle of Yiling, and was later entrusted with important tasks by Liu Chan. He put down the Han-Jia chaos in less than 10 days; and today, Wang Ping has gradually become one of the indispensable generals in the Han army. , and all this is due to his unique sense of war and his hard work in military books.

Zhuge Liang looked at the map and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head to look at the tent door, only to see dark clouds gradually rising in the sky, covering the sky.

Zhuge Liang's heart moved, he got up and walked to the gate of the camp, looked at the sky, and called out: "Come here, send an order for heavy rain tomorrow, and let the troops take precautions against rain, especially grain, grass, bows and crossbows need to be paid attention to."

The squire in the night promises.

Gao Ding got the news that Zhuge Liang sent troops to Nanzhong, and quickly sent someone to inform Yongkai of Yizhou County and asked for help.

Although the rebellion in the three counties of Nanzhong was initiated by different characters, they are still related to each other.

Yongkai comes from the Yong family of the eight major surnames in Nanzhong, and his ancestors are the descendants of Yongchi, Shifang Hou in the early Han Dynasty.During Emperor Wu's reign, the Marquis of the Yong family was cut. After Emperor Wu opened up the land of Nanzhong, out of consideration for local governance, he forced the Yong family to move into the Nanzhong area when recruiting wealthy people from Nanyi.

Yong Kai is eloquent and eloquent, and he is generous and generous. He has a high prestige among the Han people in Nanzhong.But because when Dong He was in office, all the barbarians were submissive, so the barbarians were unwilling to follow Yong Kai to rebel.Yong Kai sent Meng Huo to incite the barbarians to rebel.

Yong Kai received the news from Gaoding that Zhuge Liang had dispatched troops to Nanzhong. Out of a bitter relationship, Yong Kai personally led Meng Huo and his soldiers to lead the troops to Yuexi County.

After Gao Ding notified Yong Kai, he personally led the troops to Beishui County, and at the same time notified the soldiers stationed at Yak Road to come to Beishui for rescue.

Several days after Zhuge approached Beishui County, Gao Ding rushed to a place two days away from Beishui County to station, and at the same time waited for Yong Kai who came all the way from Yizhou County.

But everyone didn't know that these news had been known by Zhuge Liang's bribery of the barbarians, and they quickly passed the news to Zhuge Liang's army.

Yuexi County, Gaoding Camp.

Gao Ding's head is wrapped in a green scarf, and he is dressed in an old man's clothes made of Shu brocade on the left lap. He sits in front of the case and looks down at the military situation.

It has compact features, a short square face, a low nose bridge, wide nose wings, and a small beard on its lips.The appearance is not ugly, and it also gives people a sense of affinity.

Gao Ding recently had no taste for food, couldn't sleep at night, and was very haggard. In fact, Gao Ding has been like this since Zhuge Liang's Southern Expedition.

Gao Ding flipped through the military information under the light, and fell into deep thought.

When Liu Bei was there, he led troops to attack Xindao County many times, but was defeated by Li Yan.Afterwards, he imitated the leader of the Yak and Qiang and became king, holding most of Yueyi County in his hand.

I wanted to be king and give orders to the Yi people in Yuexi County, but a small group of Qiang people in the north were close to Yak Qiang and ignored me at all.All the old people in the territory belonged to them, but it was a mess, and all the tribes listened to the instructions and did not listen to the announcement.

Only the old soldiers under him have been fighting for a long time, the most elite and fierce, but they don't know about the war, and they are very distressed when facing the pressure of Zhuge Liang's army.

Gao Ding sighed quietly, the general put away his love scarf, and said to himself: "The only plan now is to stick to it. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was blocked in Beishui County."
