Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 170: The plan to break Longlong, the Eight Tigers in the Street Pavilion will gather (6/8 pursuit)

"Troubled times need talents to calm down, and the great Han Dynasty needs good talents to govern."

"With Bo Yue's talents, as long as he diligently practices civil and military affairs, he will be able to be like Zi Qiangong in the future. He can bring peace to the world with his pen and use his horse to determine the world in martial arts."

"Madam loves Zheng Xue. She must have heard Kang Chenggong's annotations on Confucianism."

"Kang Chenggong believed that the core of Confucianism was to govern the country and appease the people. As a Confucian, one needs to understand current affairs, practice the six arts, govern the country with literature, and defend the country with force."

"If a Confucian scholar only dares to settle down in the rear and become a layman who can read chapters and excerpts from scriptures, what use will he have to the country and the people, even if he can hold discussions?"

"In today's troubled times, the country is in turmoil, and soldiers and civilians are suffering from the scourge of war, which is sad."

"If talented men like Bo Yue could not fight for the revival of the Han Dynasty and the stability of the country."

"Who else would be willing to come forward?"

"I know that Madam is worried about Boyue's safety. She is afraid that Boyue will die on the battlefield, causing Boyue's wife and children to experience the pain of losing a husband and a father, and that Madam will have to mourn for Boyue in her old age."

In Mrs. Jiang's mind, she couldn't help but think of her late husband Jiang Juan, who rode a horse, held a whip, and could write essays. He was equally high-spirited and ambitious!

"My eldest son can neither inherit my legacy to serve the country and the people, nor can he fight against the troubled times alone to protect the family. In the end, he can only be swallowed up by the torrent of troubled times. Isn't it sad that he and the family died in the war?"

"Therefore, I asked my eldest son, who is nearly seventeen years old, to accompany me on the Northern Expedition."

"I have been studying in Nanyang for more than ten years, and I have never met the Ming Lord until I met His Majesty."

"Your Majesty is now nearly sixty years old. Although he has no ambitions, he is still old. The revival of the Han Dynasty cannot be achieved by relying on your Majesty alone."

"Your Majesty chose me, so that I, a Confucian scholar, can lead the army. I know that I have little talent and knowledge, and I always walk on thin ice. I am afraid that I will let down His Majesty's kindness and the kindness of the Han Dynasty."

"Save the country from danger and save all the people from fire and water, only then can we, the benevolent people with lofty ideals, embrace it."

"If one day I die, the world will still be plagued by war."

Jiang Wei's young son saw his parents kneeling in front of Mrs. Jiang. Although he didn't know what was going on, he also knelt aside.

Whether it was Zhuge Liang who cared about the country and the people, Jiang Wei who had great ambitions, or Zhuge Qiao who had an extraordinary spirit, all of them made Mrs. Jiang's mood change.

Zhuge Liang sighed and recalled the memory in his mind.

Zhuge Liang's words were sincere, showing his unswerving determination to help the Han Dynasty, his expectations and care for Zhuge Qiao, and his worries about the future.

"As a parent, who can really be cruel enough to let their young son wear armor and go to war? But in troubled times, he can't be independent."

Looking at Jiang Wei who was knocking his head to the ground, Mrs. Jiang sighed: "That's it! You are as stubborn as your father, I won't stop you anymore."

"I don't want to be a swordsman!"

With a plop, Jiang Wei knelt in front of Mrs. Jiang: "Mom, although my father died because of his bravery, I am proud of my father."

No matter it is Mrs. Jiang or Jiang Wei and his wife and children, there is nothing wrong in whose position you stand.

Jiang Wei raised his head in surprise, and then kowtowed again: "My dear, thank you, mother!"

"Of course, when a young man has great ambitions, he will work hard."

"Your Majesty, like me, lost his father when he was young. In order to make a living, Your Majesty weaved mats, sold shoes, and served in the army for half his life, just to report to the country and keep the common people safe."

"I am deeply touched by Madam's heart."

"When a true man stands between heaven and earth, he should carry a three-foot sword to achieve unparalleled fame."

"Aunt Jiang."

A child is better than a mother. Jiang Wei has been depressed these years. How could Mrs. Jiang not know this?

"When my uncle took me and my brothers and sisters to Yangzhou, Yuan Shu used force to stop me and forced my uncle to go to Yuzhang. As a result, my uncle was involved in a military disaster and died."

After agreeing to Jiang Wei's martial arts practice, Mrs. Jiang felt relieved.

"Since then, I have made an oath to use my talents and knowledge to assist the Lord of Benevolence and Righteousness to end this troubled world."

"If the matter is based on national justice, I am suspected of kidnapping my aunt."

"Mom, please allow my child to participate in martial arts!"

Zhuge Qiao on the side was also shocked.

Mrs. Jiang's mood was complicated.

"Brother Boyo's spirit is something I admire."

Zhuge Qiao came forward, knelt on one knee and saluted.

"If my aunt doesn't think I'm vulgar, I would like to become brothers with Brother Boyue. From now on, no matter who of me or Brother Boyue dies on the battlefield, we will protect each other's wife and children for the rest of our lives."

"I have practiced martial arts diligently since I was a child, just to fulfill my father's regrets before his death, so that the scourge of war can be stopped, and the world can have fewer tragedies like mine that lost my father at a young age."

Although Mrs. Jiang has thousands of words in her heart, she can't say them out at this moment.

It's just this troubled world that's wrong.

At this moment, Mrs. Jiang seemed to see the future Jiang Wei from Zhuge Liang, who had experienced the pain of war but could not let his children avoid the disaster of war.

Seeing Jiang Wei knelt down to beg, Jiang Wei's young wife also knelt beside him: "Jun Aunt, my husband has been depressed these past few years. If I can't let my husband realize his ambition, I will be uneasy. Please do it, Jun Aunt!" "

"When I was young, my father suffered from the Yellow Turbans and died of illness. When Cao Cao massacred Xuzhou, my mother died of illness on the way to escape, and my brother was also separated on the way."

"Because I know that my father died for his faith, and also to preserve Ji County and protect my mother and young me."

It's just that Mrs. Jiang really doesn't want Jiang Wei to engage in martial arts, for fear that Jiang Wei will have an accident, which will cause her virtuous daughter-in-law to suffer the pain of losing her husband in the future, and her young grandson to lose a father when he was young.

Mrs. Jiang also knew that with Jiang Wei's character, he could not be stopped.

Even though Jiang Wei declared that he did not want to be a general, he still made friends with martyrs and raised orphans of dead soldiers over the years. He also studied the art of war and martial arts every day, looking forward to the day when Mrs. Jiang would relent!
Mrs. Jiang looked at Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, your son just said that he wanted to become brothers with Bo Yue. I don't know about this. Do you take it seriously?"

Zhuge Liang felt relieved when he saw Mrs. Jiang relaxed. He stroked his beard slightly and said with a smile: "Bosong wants to recognize his sworn brother, how can I stop him? Both Bosong and Boyo are young heroes, both with unicorn talents." .”

"It would be a blessing for the Han Dynasty if we could become brothers!"

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "Since the Prime Minister has agreed, I will bear witness with the Prime Minister today. Boyue, why don't you come forward and salute!"

Although she agreed to let Jiang Wei join the military as a general, Mrs. Jiang was also very thoughtful.

Zhuge Qiao is Zhuge Liang's eldest son, and Jiang Wei and Zhuge Liang have become sworn brothers. In the future, Jiang Wei will also have someone to look after him in the officialdom, instead of being like Jiang Juan who is both civil and military but has hit a wall in his official career.

Jiang Wei and Zhuge Qiao already liked each other, and both of them were young talents that were rare in the world.

Jiang Wei naturally agreed with this sworn relationship.

Witnessed by Zhuge Liang and Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Wei and Zhuge Qiao swore an oath to heaven and earth and became sworn brothers.

Jiang Wei was his elder brother, and Zhuge Qiao was his younger brother.

"Prime Minister, Bo Yue is entrusted to you." Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Wei with kindness and reluctance in her eyes.

Zhuge Liang promised: "Madam, don't worry, since Bo Yue and Bo Song have become brothers, I will naturally treat Bo Yue as my nephew."

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Jiang for the time being, Zhuge Liang invited Jiang Wei to meet with the generals again.

When he learned that Jiang Wei and Zhuge Qiao had become sworn brothers, Ma Di suddenly felt worried: The Prime Minister really wants Jiang Wei to come to captain the five counties of Longyou. If I can't make meritorious service in the street pavilion, I can only be a little boy next to the Prime Minister. The younger one joined the army.

Ma Su secretly swore.

Only by performing extraordinary feats can the generals be convinced, and can they be truly valued by Liu Bei like his brother Ma Liang!
Discussion room.

Zhao Yun's general Chen Feng returned: "Prime Minister, General Zhao was ordered to attack Guangwei County. Although Linwei, the seat of Guangwei County, was captured, the Guangwei prefect and Linwei's troops were missing."

"General Zhao is suspicious and does not dare to stay in Linwei. He has led his troops to capture Lueyang County in the north of Linwei. I have been specifically ordered to return at night to ask for instructions from the Prime Minister."

Zhuge Liang frowned: "Get the map!"

Ma Su quickly spread out the map, and then pointed at the two cities of Linwei and Shanggui: "Linwei is also on the Weishui River, located east of Shanggui. I am afraid that Guo Huai learned that the Prime Minister sent troops to Longyou, and was worried that the Longyou armies would be attacked by various Defeated it and transferred all the troops stationed in Linwei to Shanggui."

Zhuge Liang frowned: "Guo Huai can be the governor of Yongzhou, his strategy is really extraordinary."

"He transferred the soldiers and horses from Linwei to Shanggui and preserved the soldiers and horses in Guangwei County. When Zilong left Linwei, he could lead his troops to recapture Linwei."

"This is a deliberate attempt to avoid fighting and hide soldiers, so that I can't figure out his intentions!"

If Linwei's troops are not transferred away, Zhao Yun can storm Linwei, and then use the momentum of breaking Linwei to capture the prefect of Guangwei to make forced landings in Lueyang, Pingxiang and Qingshui counties of Guangwei County.

Guangwei County will be able to control it.

And now.

The governor of Guangwei and the garrison of Guangwei County all fled to avoid the battle, which was equivalent to planting a nail in Zhuge Liang's heart.

If Zhuge Liang wants to go north to capture Anding County, he will have to worry about whether Guo Huai will surprise the rear.

When the Liangzhou soldiers and Chang'an soldiers arrived, Zhuge Liang's troops that entered Longyou would become a turtle in the urn.

"Mistake!"

"I didn't expect Guo Huai to be so decisive."

Zhuge Liang secretly made a mistake.

However, things in this world are inherently difficult to predict, and there will always be gains and losses.

Guo Huai's appearance in Tianshui County allowed Zhao Yun to take the opportunity to seize Ji County quickly; but this also allowed Guo Huai to transfer the garrison in Linwei in advance, leaving Zhao Yun in vain.

Zhuge Qiao analyzed: "I think that Guo Huai transferred Linwei's soldiers and horses to hide his troops in Shanggui. The purpose is to contain them. The purpose is to delay time until reinforcements from Chang'an arrive at Longyou."

"General Chariot and Cavalry not only have to capture Nan'an County and Longxi County, but also have to guard against Hao Zhao and Wei Ping of Jincheng County to lead troops to rescue Longxi County. It is difficult to take care of the war in the east in a short time."

"The only way to break this situation is to lure Guo Huai out of Shanggui!"

Zhuge Liang asked in a solemn voice: "How to lure Guo Huai?"

Zhuge Qiao pointed his finger at the street pavilion: "Give up plundering Anding County and go directly to rob the street pavilion! If Guo Huai learns that our army is going to rob the street pavilion, he will never dare to stay in Shanggui."

"There is a waterway from Shanggui to Jieting. There is a small city in the middle called Lieliu City. General Huang can be asked to lead troops to garrison Lieliu City and block Guo Huai's way to Jieting from the north."

"If Guo Huai leaves Shanggui, immediately let Feng Xi, who is ambushing outside Shanggui, seize Shanggui to cut off Guo Huai's return route, and then notify General Zhao in Lueyang to lead troops to capture Linwei and defeat Guo Huai first!"

"If Guo Huai is defeated, he will be far better than An Ding County, and the grain road from Hanzhong to Tianshui will no longer be threatened." "After defeating Guo Huai, the prime minister ordered all the troops to gather in Jieting to fight with the Wei soldiers who came to Chang'an for reinforcements. Confrontation!”

"By then, our army will control everything from Jieting in the north to Linwei in the south, and the plan to cut off Long will be successful!"

"In a month at most, officials in Longxi, Guangwei and Anding counties who have not yet surrendered will be frightened and surrender. Longyou's message can be sure!"

Zhuge Liang made a quick decision and asked, "Who wants to go to the street pavilion?"

Seeing the opportunity coming, Ma Su immediately asked for orders: "Prime Minister, I am willing to go to the street pavilion in person to stop the Wei soldiers coming from Chang'an."

Huang Zhong suddenly frowned: "The street pavilion is an important place. You joined the army as soon as you joined the army and have never experienced a battle. How can you defend it? It is better to let Wei Zhenbei go."

Zhang Nan, Chen Shi and other generals also opposed it.

Ma Di, who had never led an army before, went to guard the street pavilion. Isn't that funny?
Seeing the generals' opposition, Ma Di suddenly became anxious: "Prime Minister, I would like to issue a military order. If we fail, please behead me!"

Wei Yan shouted rudely: "If you join the army, how can using troops be a fool's errand? If you lose the street pavilion, what's the use of issuing a military order?"

Ma Su suppressed his anger and looked at Zhuge Qiao.

Ma Di knows very well that all he needs to do is tell Zhuge Qiao whether he can go to the street guarding pavilion.

Seeing this, Zhuge Qiao stopped the generals and said, "I also think that horses can join the army to guard the street pavilion."

Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhang Nan, Chen Shi and other generals all looked at Zhuge Qiao in shock.

Wei Yan even asked bluntly: "General Fu Han, are you planning to let Ma join the army and lead his troops to die?"

Zhuge Qiao said slightly sternly: "Wei Zhenbei misunderstood, I am not a small-minded person."

"It's just that I think Ma Canjun is well versed in the art of war and is good at thinking. It would be inappropriate to conclude that Ma Canjun cannot defend the street pavilion because Ma Canjun has not experienced battle formations."

"Of course, this important point of the street pavilion is not something to be trifled with."

"You can order Ma to join the army and be the commander-in-chief of Jieting. I will lead five units of Wudang Feijun, Wei Zhenbei will lead two units of Zheng Yong's soldiers in the south, and Captain Jiang will lead two units of Ji County's elite soldiers to go to Jieting together."

"The general does not need to go to the battle in person to kill. The prime minister can divide the horses into a group of elite troops and coordinate them in the middle."

"In this way, the street pavilion is foolproof!"

"Everyone, the Prime Minister has never experienced a battle, and this is his first time commanding an army. Do you still want to say that the Prime Minister is just talking about war on paper?"

"We are all colleagues and we must trust each other. Now, if we start fighting among ourselves before the enemy troops arrive, wouldn't it be a joke?"

The words fell.

Huang Zhong's expression was a little strange.

Wei Yan refused to obey Ma Su, and Zhuge Qiao and Jiang Wei were sworn brothers. If Zhuge Qiao did not want to listen to Ma Su's orders at the street pavilion, Ma Su could only command a thousand troops.

Ma Su had long known Zhuge Qiao's intentions. If there was a problem with the scheduling, Zhuge Qiao would seize power on the battlefield.

Even so, Ma Su was unwilling to give up this opportunity to lead the army!

As long as there are no problems with the scheduling, then all the credit for this street pavilion belongs to Ma Su. Who will dare to say that Ma Su is just an armchair strategist in the future?
Ma Su asked for orders again: "Please prime minister, please allocate one of my troops to accompany the generals. I will definitely be able to guard the street pavilion! If I make a mistake, I am willing to be punished!"

Zhuge Liang glanced at the generals and ordered sternly: "Bosong's words are reasonable. The war is dangerous, and the generals must no longer doubt it."

"Order, Ma Su will join the army as the chief general, auxiliary Han general Zhuge Qiao, Zhenbei general Wei Yan, Yamen general Xiang Chong, and captain Jiang Wei will be deputy generals. They will each lead their own troops and horses, and from now on, they will quickly go to Jieting to deploy defenses."

"If anyone interferes with my important affairs for personal reasons, he will be dealt with according to military law!"

When Zhuge Qiao saw that Zhuge Liang had transferred Xiang Chong to Ma Su, he knew that Zhuge Liang had guessed his intention.

After all, this time compared to the last discussion with Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Qiao added Jiang Wei to join, and Ma Di could really mobilize fewer troops!
Xiang Chong has a peaceful temperament, is kind-hearted, is proficient in military affairs, and is most upright and rigorous in using troops.

Zhuge Qiao's Wudang Feijun originally had four tiger generals: Wang Ping, Ma Zhong, Jufu and Zhang Ni. Now with the addition of Wei Yan, Jiang Wei and Xiang Chong, it is not enough to call them "the Eight Tiger Generals gathered in the street pavilion". Too much.

As for whether the Eight Tigers of the Street Pavilion will become the Nine Tigers of the Street Pavilion?
ha?
As we all know, Ma Di is only the chief general of the street pavilion, not the tiger general of the street pavilion.

Wei Yan hesitated to speak, but finally held back what he wanted to ask and accepted the order.

Zhuge Liang looked at Huang Zhong again: "Old General Huang, Qin and Chen Shi each led a force and went to Lieliu City to set up an ambush. I will send someone to inform Zilong to cooperate with you."

"Once Guo Huai appears, he will be captured if he can, and he will be killed if he can. If he cannot be captured, he will never be allowed to stay in Longyou again!"

Huang Zhong took the order and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, the veteran is in Lieliucheng, Guo Huai can't even think of leaving!"

Zhuge Liang left Ma Su alone and carefully gave Ma Su instructions on the defense deployment of the street pavilion.

Wei Yan found Zhuge Qiao and said in a somewhat unkind tone: "General Fu Han, why do you want Ma Su to be the general, and why do you want us to obey his orders?"

Wei Yan was really angry at letting a man join the army as a general.

Zhuge Qiao chuckled: "Wei Zhenbei, why be impatient."

Wei Yan snorted coldly: "General Fu Han, you should tell me the reason first, otherwise I will be upset and find it difficult to let go."

Zhuge Qiao glanced around and pulled Wei Yan to a secluded place: "Wei Zhenbei, if we win Longyou, the Prime Minister will let you take charge of the five counties of Longyou. What do you think?"

Wei Yan was stunned: "Why do you want me to be the commander-in-chief of the five counties of Longyou?"

Zhuge Qiao said carefully: "Wei Zhenbei, think about it."

"These Generals of Chariots and Cavalry, Generals of Wei, and Generals of Yijun will definitely not stay in Longyou."

"The only ones left in Longyou are us juniors."

"Brother Boyue has just surrendered, so he is not suitable to stay in Longyou; and I am going to seize the pass, so I am not suitable to stay in Longyou; the other generals either have insufficient qualifications and prestige, or they do not know how to care for the people and manage politics."

"Apart from Wei Zhenbei, who else is suitable to stay in Longyou?"

Wei Yan was stunned: "You asked me to serve as deputy general just to gain military merit for Ma Su and give him enough qualifications and prestige to be the governor of Longyou?"

Zhuge Qiao shook his head: "That's not the case!"

"Ma Canjun is talented and learned but too conceited. Although he is in his thirties, his temperament is unstable and he cannot stand alone."

"If he can't go through a severe beating in battle, he won't be able to change his arrogance; the prime minister also has great trust in Ma Canjun and wants to train Ma Canjun."

"If I persuade you too much, I will inevitably be suspected of being jealous of talents; I can't keep an eye on Ma Junjun all the time."

"Instead of letting Ma Canjun make mistakes in the future because of his pride and repeat the disaster of Liao Lide in Changsha in the past, it is better to let Ma Canjun gain experience in the street pavilion."

"If Ma Canjun can wake up and become humble from now on, the pressure on the Prime Minister will be alleviated; if Ma Canjun cannot change his bad habits, the Prime Minister will definitely not dare to use Ma Canjun again."

"As for the important place of Jieting, if Wei Zhenbei and I are going together, how can we let Ma join the army and miss the big event?"

"Wei Zhenbei, the Prime Minister is now commanding troops for the first time. If we object when something happens, where is the Prime Minister's prestige?"

"The Prime Minister is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition!"

Zhuge Qiao emphasized his tone. Regardless of Ma Su's ability, Zhuge Liang's prestige cannot be questioned.

Even if Zhuge Liang made mistakes in his decision to use Ma Di to guard the street pavilion, Zhuge Qiao still wanted to maintain Zhuge Liang's prestige in the army.

Zhuge Qiao will not oppose Zhuge Liang's decision, but will choose to check for Zhuge Liang's omissions and fill in the gaps.

Just like when he was discussing the army in Nanzheng, Zhuge Qiao would scold everyone that "it is a waste of time to argue about taking Longyou and Ziwu Valley with troops."

same.

Regarding Zhuge Liang's trust in Ma Di, Zhuge Qiao couldn't just stand on the opposite side of Zhuge Liang and speak out against it.

For Zhuge Qiao: Zhuge Liang's prestige in the Northern Expedition was the first!

Wei Yan's anger also gradually disappeared. Even though he was proud and unwilling to make friends with others, he couldn't help but admire Zhuge Qiao's magnanimity at this moment: "I am not as good as General Fu Han!"

Zhuge Qiao returned to the Wudang Feijun camp.

Ten people including Wang Ping, Zhang Yi, Ma Zhong, Gou Fu, Yao Yi, Gong Lu, Liu Yin, Du Zhen, Liu Shen and Mizhao were summoned.

"Everyone, you have been clamoring to make meritorious deeds. Now the opportunity to make meritorious deeds has come, but this task is a bit difficult. If you don't pay attention, you will die."

"Because our opponent is most likely Cao Wei's left general Zhang He. This man has been in the army for half his life and has extremely rich combat experience. Most of his subordinates are experienced soldiers."

"Although the sergeants of the Wudang Flying Army had some small fights when they were in Nanzhong, they are actually new recruits who have never experienced a war."

"According to the custom of Wudang Feijun, if you are not ready for a deadly battle, you can withdraw first; otherwise, if you dare to fight timidly at the street pavilion, you can't blame the ruthless military law."

Zhuge Qiao sat in the main seat and told Wang Ping and ten people about going to garrison in the street pavilion and the dangers they might encounter.

Zhang Ni smiled and said, "General, when have you ever seen us timid in fighting?"

Mi Zhao patted his breastplate: "General, everyone is a new recruit. Although I have never experienced a battle, I still have the courage to fight. If I am really timid in fighting, the general can behead me to show justice." Military regulations!”

All the generals laughed.

Since you have chosen to join the Wudang Fei Army, you must have the consciousness to fight to the death.

"very good!"

"A general is a soldier's courage! Spread the news into the army and don't force any sergeant."

"As long as there are those who want to quit, they are allowed to quit; of course, they must also be told that if they quit, they will no longer be non-commissioned officers in the flying army."

"No flying army, no cowards!"

Zhuge Qiao's tone was cold, and the generals were also awe-inspiring.

Zhuge Qiao didn't pay attention to how Wang Pingping would boost morale.

This is the ability that Wang Pingping should have.

If Zhuge Qiao had to do everything himself, there would be no need to recruit Wang Ping's ten men into the Wudang Fei Army.

What Zhuge Qiao has to do is to ensure that the flying army has enough money, food and military merit, and that rewards and punishments are clear.

As long as every sergeant in the Wudang Fei Army believes that by following Zhuge Qiao, they can win battles and achieve military exploits, and they will not be corrupted by their military exploits. That is enough!

Jiang has only one goal, and that is to win!
