Chapter 107: West Mountain

Far away from Linfu, Ma Chao returned to Linfu to personally assemble the army, and would go directly to Wancheng to garrison.

Maicheng is adjacent to Jiangling, Tian Xin stayed in Jiangling to participate in the transfer of the army, and Luo Qiong and Sima Xie Jing completed the assembly and arming of the Huya Army in only two days.

After waiting for two more days, Xu Zuo and Hu Ban divided the Xiangjiang River Naval Division into two, Hu Ban led the warships to stay in Dongting Lake, and Xu Zuo led the small boats to enter the Jiangling moat through Tuoshui instead of taking the main road of the Yangtze River.

The warships led by Hu Ban were naturally to prevent the Jiangdong Naval Division from going north; Xu Zuo didn't go to Xiakou, because he was worried about being attacked by the Jiangdong Naval Division.

Under the city of Gangneung, the Huya army boarded ships one after another and headed northeast along the moat.

Guan Yu saw him off and instructed: "I expect Xu Gongming and Zhang Junyi to attack Nanyang, which is really a feint, and they are also dividing the momentum of our army." However, these two people have been fighting in the world for 30 years, and if there is an opportunity, they will definitely drive straight in. Nothing can be done, filial piety first calmly withdrew the troops. There was a naval army to answer, and he couldn't catch up. ”

"If he drives straight in, I will go north from the advance army and compete with Xu Gongming."

"Being in the military, you might as well take more notes in your spare time, and if you have any doubts, you can also send me a book."

Guan Yu said and raised his eyebrows to look at the head of Jiangling City, and Tian Xin also looked sideways, where Guan Ji, Guan Ping and the other generals stood there in anticipation.

Tian Xin smiled at the head of the city, put on the battle helmet in his arms, and fastened the helmet: "Junhou, the letter understands, and when you arrive in Xiangyang, you will send a letter to your family." If it is three days soon, or five days at the latest, there will be a letter from the family to send to Jiangling. ”

Guan Yu bowed slightly, he stretched out his hand, and Yang Yi next to him was holding a wooden plate, on which were nine beast-patterned red lacquered wooden cups, all of which were full of fine wine.

Guan Yu raised a cup, in addition to Tian Xin, the guards Luo Qiong, Sima Xie Jing, the chief bookkeeper Yu Zhong, and the five battalion governors all raised a glass: "Drink this cup full." ”

"Full drink."

The nine people raised their glasses, raised their heads and drank slowly, and the youngest Yu Zhong's face immediately turned red.

After the Zhuangxing wine was drunk, Guan Yu's drummers beat the war drums, and the drummers on the troop transport ship also beat the standing drums or the waist drums they carried.

In the sound of drums, Tian Xin led the large and small military officials and the personal guards of the tribe to board the ship.

Yang Yi looked at the Huya soldiers whose morale was high, as if they were going home, and sighed: "Hugu Pavilion Marquis is fierce, it's really a pity to be transferred to Nanyang." ”

Guan Yu's voice was calm: "Xu Gongming's troops are mostly infantry troops, and he should be allowed to lead an army alone and suffer some hardships." ”

There is no strong city like Jiangling, and going to fight against Xu Huang in the field is the best way to hone the skills of commanding troops.

With Tian Xin's force, if he wants to leave when the army is defeated, it is not something that the Wei army can stay.

Yong'an, the forward troops of the rear army assembled here have taken a boat and marched towards Gangneung.

With the transportation capacity of the Yizhou naval army, two round-trips in ten days were enough to transport nearly 20,000 people of the rear army to Jiangling.

In Chengdu, Liu Bei took his three sons to play in the mulberry garden and personally taught them to pick mulberry leaves.

always felt that Liu Chan, Liu Yong, and Liu Li lacked something, and this regret disappointed him.

When he was enjoying the shade under the big mulberry tree, Chen Zhi strode over with a plate of bamboo slips, and slowed down when he approached the big mulberry tree: "King, today's chapter table has been filled with a plate. ”

"Put it here."

Liu Bei patted the open space beside him, he sat on the bamboo stool, picked up a roll of the recital that saw that it was Wei Yan, flipped it open, and couldn't help but slowly nod and smile and said: "You can see the inside of the article at a glance, Tian Xiaoxian has contributed to the country." ”

Attention is easy to be distracted, and it is easier to get tired when concentrating on reading official documents, and punctuation marks are embellished in official documents, which greatly facilitates administrative efficiency.

Most of the important official documents sent to him here are county guards, county lieutenants, and generals, and the rest of the ordinary official documents are handled by Zhuge Liang and Liu Ba.

Most of the contents of these official documents were within the scope of his expectations, such as Wei Yan's request to send troops to Chen Cang to respond to the Liangzhou performance, and sending troops to Liangzhou meant that Yizhou's military rations could not support Jingzhou and would be put into the Liangzhou battlefield.

In addition to horses and Qianghu, what else is there in Liangzhou now?

Emperor Huan wiped out the Dongqiang Alliance in one breath, subdued the Xiqiang, and Liangzhou was the source of turmoil since Emperor Ling, and now Liangzhou has a stable tax source and grain production in addition to the Tianshui area, and the rest of the places have long been broken, leaving the pre-Qin, the two Han Dynasty built the city, and the beacon is still standing everywhere.

The performance of the song is not fake, but it is not necessarily to the Han.

Taking over Liangzhou, just like taking over Nanyang, will become a burden.

With the current strength, only one of them can be digested, and now that Nanyang has started, it is time to do its best to maintain and recuperate Nanyang, and use Nanyang as the engine of future wars.

If you are greedy for Liangzhou, you won't be able to get anything, and there will be no good results.

can also understand Zhang Fei and Wei Yan, Guan Yu played too beautifully in Jingzhou, Zhang Fei and Wei Yan naturally wanted to catch up.

Liangzhou is the only area where Wei Yan can intervene, and the next step in defeating Liangzhou is to attack Guanzhong, which is the planned battlefield for Zhang Fei. By taking Liangzhou as soon as possible, the cavalry advantage of the Han army could be quickly accumulated.

The generals of Jingzhou and Yizhou, and even the so-called elite soldiers of the Dongzhou department have a common shortcoming, that is, they do not understand the tactics of cavalry.

Only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao mastered the essence of cavalry tactics.

If you still have the energy to lay down the Longyou horse breeding land, you can expand the cavalry army and pass on the cavalry tactics.

Zhang Fei even thought that after obtaining the Longyou horse breeding land and having the advantage of cavalry, he would be able to send surprise troops from Nanyang to invade Yanyu Erzhou, and if he fought smoothly, he could even break into Qingxu Erzhou to interfere with the rear production of Wei.

Without the Longxi horse farm, the Nanyang battlefield could only be defended and beaten, the Wei army could not get in, and it was difficult for the Jingzhou army to fight out.

In the face of the Wei army, which had the advantage of the terrain of the Central Plains and the cavalry, the Jingzhou army could not reap much results if it won the battle, but once it was defeated, it would be a crushing defeat.

What Zhang Fei and Wei Yan said made sense, Liu Bei still gave up sending troops to Liangzhou.

When he picked up a volume of recitals from Huang Quan, he felt a little depressed, and Huang Quan also advised him to send troops to Liangzhou instead of coming to Jingzhou.

Picked up another volume, and when he saw the recital of the Northern Expedition to Guanlong, Liu Bei casually threw it back on the plate: "The three pictures offered by Tian Xiaoxian are wonderful, how does Uncle Zhi look at the three Batu?" ”

Tai Ji Tu is two rotating Ba characters, chasing each other's tails, and the Three Ba Tu, as the name suggests, is three Ba characters squeezed into a circle and rotated.

The Taiji diagram is black and white, and the three primary colors are used in the three primary colors.

In the current situation in the world, the meaning of Sambatu is straightforward.

"The minister is blunt, and he only knows that the three pictures contain the universe and the truth of life. I also listened to Taifu and Shejun come to lecture recently, saying that looking at the three pictures for a long time can enlighten the truth and increase wisdom. I also heard Taifu say that those who can comprehend the mysteries of the three pictures can become immortals. He also said that the Marquis of Hugu Pavilion has a clear temperament and can fight tigers, and it is just because of the three pictures. ”

"What has Uncle Zhi learned lately?"

"The minister is Chi Zhi, and now I feel more and more that I am not in a hurry or bored, and I want nothing."

"Hehe, Uncle Zhi, what Gu asked was the Sanba Tu, not the positive and negative Taiji Tu."

At this time, Chen Zhi closed his mouth and hung his head, Liu Bei took out a scroll of embroidered Sambatu from his sleeve, spread it out and stared: "Kong Ming originally persuaded Gu, saying that the army went out of Jingzhou, which had the intention of forcing Sun Quan to surrender to Wei, which was not conducive to long-term. If you take advantage of the consolidation of Jingzhou, you can send troops to Qinchuan to determine Guanlong, and you can base the west of the world. ”

"Tian Xiao's first offering of Sanbatu is also intended to persuade Gu to beware of Sun Quan's betrayal of the alliance again."

After Kong Ming saw Sanbatu, he no longer persuaded Gubei to conquer Guanlong, and he was filial to the sickbed, and he no longer advised. There is no other reason, Kong Ming and Gongheng are like the sun in the sky, filial piety and the country are like the rising sun. And lonely, it has been declining. ”

"If Sun Quan knows the number of days, he will raise the Jiangdong to descend and protect his wealth for life. If he is in the same stream as Cao Pi, he will be destroyed in one battle. ”

Liu Bei's eyes fell on Sanbatu: "Filial piety has insight into the world, he can wait, but he can't wait." This picture is an evil picture, if the world is like this for a long time, I really don't know how many people will be killed in vain. Destroying Jiangdong, the world is fighting for yin and yang, and it can be determined quickly. ”

"If it weren't for this picture, Lone might have listened to Kong Ming and Xiaozhi's dissuasion, and raised troops out of Qinchuan."

"But now, there is no turning back from the bow."
