Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 125 Tianshui Kirin

"Cao Zhen, the one who saw through the scheme of the third brother before Hanzhong?"

Guan Yu still had an impression.

"It's him, Yide repeated his old tricks and was seen through, leading to the collapse of the city."

Liu Bei stared at his third brother and said.

Zhang Fei's face turned red and he couldn't speak, so he simply turned his face and cupped his hands:

"Then if you want to face Cao Zhen in the future, I, my third brother, please fight!"

Everyone laughed.

Huang Zhong stared at Zhao Yun's name on the light screen, and said with emotion:

"At this time, General Zilong is nearly seventy years old."

"I still lead the army in the battle all my life. In the words of the light curtain, it can be said that I have dedicated myself."

Staying in Dangyang during this time, Huang Zhong would occasionally think of Dingjun Mountain when shooting Lejin's scouts.

What was my 70-year-old self thinking?Waste your life with nothing but force?Old and rise up to win fame?
And what about General Zhao Yun?It is difficult to make meritorious deeds and gain a reputation as a suspicious soldier and attract a large army. All the hard work is nothing but the entrusted Han family and the lord.

"I'm not as good as General Zilong's sincerity." Huang Zhong admired him.

"Zilong needs to supervise the affairs of Yizhou." Liu Bei glanced at his third brother again, he seemed to be yearning for the little lamb in the words of the light curtain.

Zilong can grow, and the third brother can eat. There is a big difference between generals and generals.

Kong Ming did not say a word, looking at the map on the light curtain, he had already deduced the route:

It should be Jiang Wei, who has been said several times by the light curtain, to Tianshui after passing through Wudu, is he finally coming?

[The prime minister's departure from Qishan also started from Hanzhong, a front-line base.

Go west along the Han River to Jushui, then go west to the Jialing River (West Han River), and then go up the waterway to Longxi.

This route will pass through Wudu County, which was evacuated by Boss Cao—because it is too close to Hanzhong, so after Boss Cao failed in the Battle of Hanzhong, Wudu County was also involved when the people moved to Hanzhong.

After the prime minister arrived at Mount Qi, Longyou shook:

The people of Cao Wei are all stupid, I have already arrived at Mei, Zhuge Liang, how about you?
On the one hand, because Cao Wei oppressed the people too hard, on the other hand, the prime minister played the Han flag.

Among the five prefectures of Longyou, Tianshui, Nan'an, and Anding raised their rebellions to welcome Master Wang.

And You Chu, the prefect of Longxi County, is a wonderful person who knows how to hedge risks.

When Ji Han came, all the three counties were attached, so he simply called everyone together and said something amazing:
The other counties have all fallen, and your wealth has also arrived!
Then explain in detail, what we should do now is to defend this Xiangwu City first, because:

If the Wei army finally came, we would have made great achievements in defending the city, and the other three counties would serve as a backdrop, so it must be a great achievement, right?
And if the Wei army hadn't arrived, you would cut off the head of me, the prefect, and dedicate it to the Han army, which would be a fortune.

When the officials and the common people put it all together, the prefect was right, there is no loss left or right, we are really the first emperor who ate peppercorns—won the hemp!

So Xiangwu City united as one, planning to guard first and then talk.

And You Chu himself was not idle, and directly shouted to the Han army coming over:

Brother, if your prime minister can cut off Long Dao and shut Wei Jun outside for a month, let alone our Longxi County, the whole Longyou will be surrendered without fighting!
But if you can't break the long road, then you are fighting now for nothing.

You Chu's words are very clear. Whether the prime minister can succeed in this first Northern Expedition depends on one key point: Juelong Road. 】

Ma Liang shook his hand, and a piece of white paper that had just copied a few words was stained with ink, so he had to change a piece of paper in a hurry and copy the content just now.

As a talent who was praised when he was young, Ma Liang's knowledge is certainly not bad.

The words Juelong Dao weighed heavily in his heart, making it difficult for him to say a word.

After seeing his younger brother's information in the records, Ma Liang searched all over geographical maps, but he didn't see Jieting, but he found Jiequan Pavilion, which happened to guard Longdao.

Jiang Wan is very confident in the military division:
"Since the governor of Longxi can see it, the prime minister must be prepared!"

"This eunuch You Chu is quite quick-witted." Liu Bei praised.

Everyone knew that the lord was feeling sorry for her again: You are a beautiful woman, but how can you follow Cao?

Guan Yu looked at the route out of Qishan and was a little puzzled: "How can Jushui go west to Xihanshui?"

Kong Ming looked at the word Long Dao with his brows locked, and said, "This is Yu Xu's work."

"In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, he served as the prefect of Wudu. He burned rocks and cut wood to open the waterway for boats. From then on, the water transportation was smooth."

Guan Yu nodded when he heard the words. This makes sense, so that it is possible to transport grain and grass all the way from Hanzhong to Qishan through the river, which is many times more convenient.

Kong Ming was secretly worried in his heart, and now he can see it clearly: of course he must go to Juelong Dao.

But the light curtain said that there were six out of Qi Shan, so it didn't work out in the end. With such a good opportunity, what went wrong?
Several possibilities turned in Kong Ming's mind, and then he glanced at Ma Di.

Ma Di hastily sat upright, thinking in his head:
The military adviser is also a great talent, but now he still looks like a crown jade, about the same age as himself, how can he recognize his foster father?
No, no, Ma Di shook his head in his heart, and then decided:
It's better to work hard and make meritorious deeds, let's do it as a brother.

[As we said before, Cao Zhen is still in Luoyang at this time, so there are three top officials here.

Xia Houmao, General Anxi, governor of Guanzhong, who does not understand military affairs, likes to make money, keeps prostitutes and concubines, and is a waste, so I won’t talk about it.

Although Xu Miao, governor of Liangzhou, was a capable minister, he had just arrived in the same year when he left Qishan as the prime minister.

The problem lies with Guo Huai and Guo Boji, the governor of Yongzhou.

Because Yongliang had been subdued by Cao Cao before, there was no governor of the state and an assassin was set up. His duties were to monitor, assess, and finally report to the central government.

In terms of time, it is usually around the Chinese New Year, for example, "At the beginning of the year, I will do things in Kyoto", for example, "The states often go on tour in August..."

That is to say, the governor's routine work process is to inspect and score around August every year, and to report to the central emperor around the end of the year.

But it was spring when the prime minister left Qishan. It stands to reason that Guo Huai should be in Luoyang at this time, singing songs with his wife in his arms, eating hot pot and watching Chishe.

But at this time, Guo Huai was inspecting Yongzhou, and immediately after hearing the news, he decided to retreat to Shanggu to ensure that the Long Road was not lost. 】

"It's a pity!" Zhang Fei slapped Huang Zhong's thigh and sighed:
"Why doesn't this Guo Huai learn from Cao Zhen and enjoy life in Luoyang!"

Guan Yu disagreed:

"Going out of Qishan Mountain, I have taken advantage of the unexpected, and there are neither heavy troops nor heavy generals."

"You can't just rely on luck to win, but you should be prepared to attack Shangbei before sending troops!"

"The truth is this truth..." Zhang Fei sighed.

Kong Ming also smiled and said: "Yide, it's like repeating your old trick of distinguishing in the light curtain."

"The way to use troops, you can't always expect the opponent's general to be a fool."

Zhang Fei stopped talking: Why are you starting to pierce your heart, military officer?

Moving his eyes to Xia Houmao's evaluation, Liu Bei suddenly felt a little rejoiced:

At least from the perspective of the light curtain, Adou still has merits.

Then Xiahou Yuanrang is Cao thief's confidant, he is also quite talented and famous as Wu Lue, but his son is incompetent?
[Guo Huai has another episode here.

Guo Huai was of course accompanied by the magistrate when he made his inspection tour.

Faced with the news that the prime minister called, Guo Huai decided to retreat to Shanggu, Tianshui prefect Ma Zunze said: Sir, take me alone!
The officials under Ma Zun disagreed: Your Excellency!You are the prefect of Tianshui, you should go back to Ji County to defend!

There is nothing wrong with this request, because the seat of Tianshui County is Ji County, not Shangyu.

For this, Ma Zun scolded his subordinates: You traitors!He must have wanted to tie me up and give it to the villager Zhuge to claim credit!Get out!

This group of officials had no choice but to return to Ji County by themselves. In ancient times, officials were basically local people, and their clan and family members were all in Ji County, so it was impossible not to go back.

Then when they arrived in Ji County, before the door entered, the leading official was dragged away by the elders of Ji County to meet the prime minister:

Look, Prime Minister, this is our Tianshui Qilin!
This year, the 47-year-old prime minister met the 26-year-old Jiang Wei for the first time.

At this time, Jiang Wei was still immature, and the prime minister was still worried about the Northern Expedition. 】

Jian Yong couldn't laugh or cry:
"A child who is only nine years old?"

It makes sense even if you can't hear it.

"Isn't this right?!" Zhang Fei was overjoyed:
"Mr. Xianhe hastened to move him here, recognized the military division as a foster father, and could be a playmate with Ah Dou, how wonderful!"

"Nonsense!" Liu Bei scolded.

Ma Su's ears perked up quietly: Is this Jiang Wei very powerful?

Jiang Wan didn't care much, just sighed:

"This Ma Zun is so courageous."

"It can be seen that the people of Longyou are popular." Ma Liang thought it was normal:
"Those who can speak as fluently as You Chu are in the minority."

Then Ma Liang and Jiang Wan involuntarily turned their eyes to the military division:
In terms of eloquence, who in this world can compare to a military advisor?

Probably there is only the "Prime Minister" in the light curtain, who can be scolded so vigorously and heroically, especially the "brazen" imitated by General Zhang, which can be said to be around for three days.

【After Guo Huai retreated to Shanggu, he began to stick to it, because he knew how important this place was.

And what about the prime minister?Too cautious, but a waste of time.

Looking back on this first Northern Expedition, Qishan's defender Gao Gang has made great contributions.

Gao Gang defended against the mountain, holding off the prime minister's onslaught, and finally made the prime minister abandon Qishan City and continue eastward.

But these few days of procrastination are enough for Guo Huai to improve Shangbei's city defense and wait for work at leisure.

And when the prime minister came here, he knew clearly that Shangbi must be defeated, so there is no need to say, let's attack the city.

Shangyu will attack, but the Long Road will also be blocked.

At that time, there were several entrances from Guanzhong to Longyou, but these roads eventually had to pass through Jieting and pass Shangyu, so as to reach Longyou.

First of all, Jieting is easy to guard. It itself is a part of the Long Road, and the terrain is not wide.

Secondly, the altitude of Yongliang is higher than that of Guanzhong, which has the advantage of height difference, and it is also the upper reaches of the river.

For such an important position, some generals at that time recommended Wei Yan, and some recommended Wu Yi.

But the prime minister didn't listen to any of them, and chose Ma Su against all opinions:
You come to guard the street booth! 】
