Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

In early spring, the river valley was still deserted.

The arrow left the string with a whoosh sound, and a wild piggy drinking water fell down in response.

The two scouts came out of their hiding place with crossbows in their arms. After making sure that there were no wild beasts around, they came out with confidence and dragged Ye Hu's body back.

With this one in mind, we can go back. A scout said to himself.

It's a pity that after the winter, all the fat has been lost. Another scout felt a little pity.

They worked together to put the wild pig on their mounts. The two horses had already caught a lot of prey, so they had no choice but to lead the horses back.

But the two of them didn't mind. Now that the war was over for the time being, compared to fighting Cao Jun's scouts, walking for a while while holding the horses loaded with prey was considered an outing.

I see there is still a little fat on the legs of this wild pig, so it should be good when roasted.

Don't think about it. We captured Cao Jun yesterday and gained 20,000 mouths for nothing. Everyone in the cooking family is so busy that they don't have time to roast wild pig legs with you.

I thought Cao Bing should be well fed...

Hey! All the rich people belong to the generals, what do they have to do with us, the soldiers?

Uncle Huang and General Zhang are still living and eating with me.

The emperor's uncle is different from Cao Cao...

It's different!

One of the two scouts is an old soldier who is a new savage from Jingzhou, and the new soldier is a Yufu people from Yizhou. The same sigh brings out different emotions.

After a moment of silence, the two of them changed a different topic:

I heard that the general of Cao's army has a special relationship with General Zhang!

Oh? Tell me?

We, Lao Ge, all know that General Zhang's wife's surname is Xiahou...

Hey! In this battle, our son-in-law beats his father-in-law?

Silence!

Hey, General Zhang only has a thunderous voice, and he doesn't have a smooth ear. How can he hear it? Tell me, I don't think the two generals have held back.

More than holding back, I heard that if the emperor hadn't stopped him, Xia Hou would have almost killed himself on the spot.

Ha! He has the same temper as General Zhang.

It's impossible to say that General Zhang robbed someone else's daughter.

No wonder General Cao can't keep his face.

How miserable.

The two scouts walked together for a while, and could already see the lively camp in the distance, but at this time the young scout remembered something:

Now that Cao's troops are destroyed, don't we still want to attack Chang'an?

Participating in a siege is one of the lingering nightmares for soldiers.

Now the cold spring siege is even more like this. It is no different from sending death. It is also the crux of Cao's army's self-defeat so quickly.

After all, they had suffered in Linwei for almost a month. Everyone was waiting to go back to Chencang to drink hot soup and sleep on the warm bed. But suddenly they knew that they were going to attack the city?

In this case, wouldn't it be better to simply vote for Uncle Liu Huang than to fight to the death?

The old scout hesitated and said:

I heard that the attack on Chang'an has little to do with us.

How to say?

The emperor's uncle was having dinner with us last night and he was joking and said... Let's take a look at Zhuge's military advisor.

The young scout blinked:

Zhuge Military Advisor also wants to send Guizhi soup to the Chang'an defenders?

Of course Kong Ming has no need for this.

After Zhao Zilong joined forces with Ma Chao to capture Chencang, the first thing he did was to send troops continuously to open Cao Jun's blockade of Chencang Road.

After the news was sent to Hanzhong, Kong Ming knew that the situation in Yongliang had been decided. The final difference was to see how Shi Yuan planned, how the lord chose, and how to obtain the greatest results at the minimum cost.

There is only one thing left in front of you:

Chang'an.

Compared to the tepid battle situation in the Valley Road, the changes in the situation in Guanzhong can be said to be as fast as lightning.

As soon as Zhao Yun and Ma Chao captured Chencang, Ma Chao was assigned by Zhao Yun to focus on Zhang He, who still had troops in hand.

This choice highlighted a close pursuit and fierce pursuit, aiming to allow Ma Chao to use his superior strength to trap Zhang He's mobility.

Immediately, they sent their elite troops southward, opened Chencang Road, and released Xi Zhen and more than a thousand defenders guarding Chencang Road to the Guanzhong battlefield.

Xi Zhen carried the necessary materials such as horses and horses to build the level, and there were similar materials in Chencang City. Under Zhao Yun's order, Xi Zhen could use them.

And Xi Zhen's duty was just as Du Xi had guessed, not to defend Chencang, but to set up checkpoints at the exit west of the river valley road to block the river valley road to prevent Xia Houyuan from escaping.

After everything was arranged properly, Zhao Yun did not stop and led his elite cavalry all the way east along the Wei River Valley, passing through Chencang and Beiyuan, and fought all the way to Wuzhangyuan.

And immediately attacked Zhu Ling who was defending here, and at the same time sent people to shout around to disrupt the morale of Zhu Ling's army:

Xiahou Yuan is dead! Zhang He surrendered! Cao Jun was defeated!

Huo Jun, who was defending Xieyuguan on Baoxie Road, saw the movement and did not hesitate to personally command the troops. He waded into the water with a powerful crossbow and fired indiscriminately in response.

Under attack from both sides, Zhu Ling held on for half a day. He saw that the enemy's reinforcements were continuously joining the battlefield from Chencang and Xieyuguan in the west, but there was no news of reinforcements from his own side.

Looking at the soldiers who had no fighting spirit, Zhu Ling did not hesitate in the end. The strong man broke his wrist and led more than 2,000 troops to break through, formed a formation to resist Zhao Yun's cavalry, and slowly retreated towards Chang'an.

At this point, the Shu road from Hanzhong to Guanzhong was reopened.

Fazheng was once again appointed by Kongming to take charge of Hanzhong, and then led Jiang Wei and the Qiaojiang Army through the Baoxie Road and set foot in Guanzhong.

At the Wuzhangyuan camp that had been burned to ruins, Huo Jun was filled with nervousness and carefully considered every word as he told Zhuge Military Advisor the ins and outs of this place:

This five-foot-long area was originally just a wasteland. A certain person listened to the military advisor's suggestion and built a camp here to harass Cao's army for more than half a year.

In early February, Cao's army sent troops to the west to invade Yongliang. The enemy army was so powerful that it was difficult to resist, so he had to retreat to Xieyuguan and burned the camp to avoid falling into enemy hands.

There were some ruins piled up on a wasteland, which shouldn't be anything interesting to see, but Kong Ming looked at it all carefully and finally let out a long sigh.

Zhongmiao, how far is this place from Chang'an?

After several raids, Huo Jun already knew the geography of this place very well, so he said without thinking:

If you take the river valley road, you can drive straight in. It is more than 240 miles away from Chang'an.

If we take the main road of Huaili Maoling, it will take more than fifty miles.

If you drive a good horse, you can go back and forth in half a day.

There was a small observation tower made of dirt in the Wuzhangyuan camp. Kong Ming climbed up and looked eastward:

Half-day round trip...

The words are lonely, the aftertaste is long, and the words are gradually inaudible.

Master, umbrella!

Little Jiang Wei couldn't understand his master's melancholy, but it didn't stop him from noticing that it was starting to drizzle in the sky.

The rain is not heavy, but the first rain since the beginning of spring is like a fine needle, which is so cold that it falls on the face.

Jiang Wei trotted over and asked for an umbrella to hold up for his master.

But Kong Ming was too tall, and Jiang Wei could only barely cover the master's shoulders even if he tried his best to stand on tiptoe while holding an umbrella.

While he was in a hurry, little Jiang Wei saw his master bending down, took the umbrella from his hand, held it up, and smoothly held Jiang Wei to his side, shielding them from the wind and rain together:

You are still too young, let me teach you.

Little Jiang Wei made a confused Ah sound, and felt the hand holding his shoulder tighten. Ma Jun, who had been standing silently behind him, was also held up by his master with an umbrella.

Such an umbrella was not enough. Some parts of Kong Ming's body were wet from the rain. Looking down at Jiang Wei's worried eyes, he smiled with relief and put the feather fan into Jiang Wei's hand.

Then he held Liu Bei's sword at his waist and shouted in a deep voice:

The Lord's Sword Letter is here, Zilong!

The general is here!

Kong Ming held an umbrella with one hand and pulled out the sword from his waist with the other hand and pointed at it:

Tomorrow at Mao hour, camp at Wuzhangyuan!

Fight the traitors, revitalize the Han Dynasty, and send troops to Chang'an!

Little Jiang Wei held the feather fan with admiration on his face. He felt that this familiar yet unfamiliar master looked extremely tall at this moment!

Huo Jun felt strange. Strictly speaking, the place where the army was stationed was Xi County, and the Wuzhangyuan was in ruins. Where did the camp out of the Wuzhangyuan come from?

But Zhao Yun over there was completely unaware and said loudly:

The general will get the order!

Fight the traitors and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty!

The troops are sent to Chang'an!

That night, Huo Jun hurriedly asked to see Kong Ming.

But before Huo Jun had time to speak, Kong Ming said first:

I already know Zhongmiao's intention. Attacking Chang'an is not a temporary move. Let's wait and see.

So Huo Jun could only leave again full of doubts.

In Huo Jun's view, the troops currently stationed in Xi County are very mixed.

There are more than 2,000 fine cavalry from Zhao Yun, more than 3,000 Qiang cavalry left by Ma Mengqi, and more than 2,000 infantry and more than 1,000 crossbowmen led by Huo Jun.

Zhuge's military advisor came from Hanzhong with only more than a thousand people, and the rest were thousands of civilians who were constantly transporting baggage and unable to fight.

There are only more than 8,000 soldiers to fight, and half of them are cavalry who were used to attack the city and lost blood. How can Chang'an be conquered?

Seeing Huo Jun leave, Kong Ming continued to play with the models in his hands with Jiang Wei and Ma Jun:

Boyo, Deheng, let's continue to talk about the principle of weight balancing in this counterweight trebuchet.

Ma Jun had interest written all over his face. Although it was difficult for Jiang Wei to understand, he was eager to learn.

Because the master said in the afternoon that the way to destroy the city lies in this principle of balance.

In order to facilitate the demonstration, the master also brought a small model for demonstration and called it a counterweight trebuchet.

With the model demonstration and the picture explanation prepared by the master, Jiang Wei quickly understood the principles, but soon faced more painful calculations.

The reason is very simple. This weighted trebuchet is equipped with how many stones, how long the tip pole is, how heavy the stone can be thrown, and how far it can be thrown.

For all kinds of questions, you need to understand what is standard and what is heavy. After studying the Moist weighing method summarized by the master, you need to rely on arithmetic to answer it.

Jiang Wei was sweating profusely after all this had been done, but over there Ma Jun was already discussing with the master excitedly:

If the two ends of the Moqiu (lever) are twisted, folded, or bent, how should we calculate them?

Then the two of them drew a lot on the paper, which made Jiang Wei feel outrageous at first sight, and they discussed it with great interest.

Xiao Jiang Wei still vaguely remembered that he asked Master Pang Tong what he needed to know if he wanted to become a world-famous general.

At that time, Master Pang struggled for a while and told him that he needed to examine people's hearts.

He also asked Master Zhuge in front of him this question, and then the master gave him a Nine-Nine Songs without saying anything.

He was required to memorize everything from nine-nine-eighty-one to two and a half to one, and now he had to study the more difficult principle of balance and weight.

Before going to bed, little Jiang Wei couldn't help but sigh: It's really difficult to be a famous general.
