Kunyang, after a light rain in autumn, Xiahou was still running horses and archery in front of the camp, sweating and feeling comfortable.

A pot of arrows was shot, he hit his horse back to the curtain, jumped off the horse and threw the war bow to Xiahou Ba, and asked Sima Yi: "Is there really a better candidate?" ”

Sima Yi looked embarrassed and smiled: "It's really not, Your Majesty hopes that the general can find out the truth of the enemy army." ”

Where to find a suitable heavyweight envoy who can send Liu Bei?

The old ministers of the Han family and the people whose families were killed are faulty, and the remaining old and weak women and children are afraid and hateful; People who have a close relationship with the Jingzhou clan were the focus of Cao Pi's purge.

So now I want to find a decent messenger...... No.

If there is, it is also an unstable factor, and the ghost knows what Liu Bei will say when he sees him in Jingzhou.

If you can't find a suitable one among the clans, officials, and celebrities, you have to look for them from the clan and the close relatives.

He Yan barely counted, but his wife was Cao Cao's daughter; Qin Lang's words...... His father Qin Yilu was killed by Zhang Fei, and it is estimated that Qin Lang will fight with Zhang Bao first when he goes to Bowang.

After all, it was Xiahou Yuan's sons who were the most convenient, who let Zhang Fei marry their cousin?

But the question is, Xiahou Yuan died in Hanzhong, who of the Xiahou brothers can go to Jingzhou with Yan Yuese to complete the mission?

Xiahou Shang was a little dissatisfied: "Zhongda, I deceived Tian Xiaoxian once, but it was a change in the battle, and it was really a last resort. If you go to the door now, and then pretend to be Zhongquan, you are not afraid of the shame of the enemy country? ”

"Boren, this is a rare opportunity, just to explore the reality of Jingzhou."

Sima Yi made a special trip to pass on orders, but even to persuade him: "Zhongquan grew up in the Chinese army since he was a child, and outsiders don't know his face. Although Boren's face is known, there are few people who know it, such as Xu Shang and others, most of them are idle, and the rest of the army can't recognize Boren. He also asked Boren to put state affairs first, and it was also an elegant matter. ”

Seeing that Xiahou was still listening quietly, Sima Yi said again: "Yu Wen has studied the living sword and stayed until now, so it is advisable to urge him to return early." ”

Xiahou Shang was still unmoved, and Sima Yi went further: "The former general is the forerunner of Boren, okay?" ”

"This ...... Zhong Da laughed, how dare he command the Marquis of Jinyang? ”

Xiahou Shang looked up at the blue sky: "Since it is needed by the country, it should be repaid with a hundred deaths, why not lose face?" ”

Sima Yi laughed when he saw Xiahou Shang's face, and Xiahou Shang also laughed: "Even if Zhongda doesn't persuade me, I have the heart to go to Jingzhou to find out the truth." ”

The two of them returned to the curtain on the side hand in hand, and drank a full glass of warm wine, Sima Yi was half a head taller than Xiahou Shang, and his physique was more majestic, more like a general who could fight well.

Sima Yi raised his hand to wipe the wine from his beard, and said with a smile: "I also know Boren's thoughts, so I asked an envoy to come to see Boren." ”

Saying that, Sima Yi smiled: "According to Jiangdong's report, during the battle of Hankou, Tian Xiao first used white smoke to invade our formation, and the three armies in front of the battle were in chaos immediately after encountering the smoke, killing and wounding a lot of their bows and crossbows, and the officials were defeated due to fear and casualties. The same is true of the front of the Wu army, which was mostly defeated by this white smoke. ”

Xiahou Shang was complacent and held a deep groan, and Sima Yi continued: "We deduce that Tian Xiaoxian wantonly killed our army and the front soldiers of the Wu army, with the intention of destroying the mouth, so that our army would not know that the white smoke was fine. If this thing is not understood as soon as it is checked, our army should continue to avoid war. Otherwise, the decisive battle will be lost, and it will be too late to regret it. ”

"White smoke?"

Xiahou Shang drank and squinted: "So this is it?" Previously, it was also strange why the Han army was killing on a large scale, it turned out to be to hide the white smoke. Such a secret may not be ascertained in a moment. What does Your Majesty say? ”

His Majesty also knew that this matter was difficult, so he entrusted Boren to go to Jingzhou to find out. Boren does not need to be involved in danger, it is best to get something, if not, it will not hinder the overall situation, and he has his own special person to investigate this matter. ”

Sima Yi turned his head to look at the south as he spoke, with a worried face: "The state affairs are difficult, and there is Lao Boren." ”

Xiahou Shang solemnly agreed, thinking about the nature of white smoke, could it be that the Han army found strange poisonous weeds in Nanzhong and Jiaozhou?

Sima Yi was also puzzled, if he couldn't understand the matter of Baiyan, he should avoid a decisive battle with the Han army.

Breaking from the family art of war and personal experience, white smoke should be wet smoke.

Worried that the rash release of cigarettes and poison would not reach people, the Han army first arranged suspicious soldiers to release black smoke, just to cover the smooth release of white smoke.

Therefore, white smoke should have some shortcomings, but there is no need to be too afraid, as long as the Han army pays attention to precautions when going upwind, and covers his face with wet wipes, he can prevent smoke.

Sima Yi thought in his heart, and then heard Xiahou Shang ask: "Zhongda, Zhu Jianping may go with me?" ”

"Boren wants to?"

"Borrow Zhu Jianping's mouth."

Xiahou Shang frowned: "No matter how toxic the white smoke is, the person I am worried about is still Tian Xiaoxian himself." was wounded and commanded the army, breaking the Wei-Wu coalition army of 100,000 in the palm of his hand, if this person is not removed, the country will not be safe. ”

Not to mention anything else, as for this year's upcoming autumn offensive, who would dare to make great strides forward and intersperse with the Wei army's generals?

Few people dared to boast, let alone personally lead troops deep behind enemy lines to wreak havoc.

The Wei army has the advantage of troops and cavalry, but there are still few people who dare to go to Nanyang to sabotage, this is a gamble, and use their lives to block the merits.

The reward is enough, and there is naturally no shortage of warriors.

The Hanmen soldiers were generally brave, and the appearance of Tian Xin indirectly led to new promotion opportunities for the Hanmen soldiers in the Wei army.

This has aroused the vigilance of Xiahou Shang and Sima Yi, and we must pay attention to it.

Zhang Liao arranged the retreat plan in a proper manner, Wang Ling had proved the combat effectiveness of the Han army with his life and the blood of 13,000 soldiers, the intensity of the war was still very strong, and the army losses were still terrifying.

Especially when encountering an enemy like Tian Xin, who likes to rush into battle...... All the generals who are not brave enough are very passive when they fight against Tian Xin.

According to the tradition since the Yellow Turban, generals are generally made of military exploits, and generals in their forties and fifties can still fight and fight.

But there is a group of people who have been transferred from attendants and close ministers to local assassins, and then concurrently served as generals to obtain military power, robbing the promotion opportunities of the Hanmen military officials.

Originally, it was nothing, it could suppress the enemy, and it could also suppress the internal Hanmen soldiers.

But when facing Tian Xin, you can't hold it down, first of all, you can't stop Tian Xin's rush; Secondly, the low-level poor soldiers will not be able to die, it is okay to fight against the wind, and few people will stand up and fight against the wind.

The Hanmen military officials don't work hard, which is a very troublesome thing.

Maybe the situation is a little worse, and there will be military officials who deliberately release water, so that the enemy like Tian Xin will behead his own generals in the future...... What happened to the children of the family? There will always be a day when you will die.

Zhang Liao, who was born in a cold family and a general, did not shelter Wang Ling from the wind and rain, which is not normal in itself.

Under normal circumstances, it should be Zhang Liao who takes good care of Wang Ling, so that Wang Ling can stand firm and stabilize the transition, and Wang Ling will repay Zhang Liao's children and grandchildren.

For example, if you are filial and honest, if you are filial and honest, whether Zhang Liao's descendants can experience two thousand stones, and become a family of scriptures and heirlooms depends on whether Zhang Liao's descendants can be people and understand the rules.

But Zhang Liao didn't, as the first general of the cold gate, Zhang Liao himself is a weather vane.

He did not protect Wang Ling and let the military power smoothly transition into Wang Ling's hands, which in itself was a very abrupt matter, which could not be neglected and must be taken seriously.

If Tian Xin is eliminated and the momentum of the Han army's counteroffensive is suppressed, with Zhang Liao's current age, it is not good to say that he will bow his head and transfer the military power smoothly.

Yu Ban was abolished, Le Jin died of illness, Wen was hired and returned to the Han Dynasty, Zang Ba also obeyed the command of the imperial court, and only Zhang Liao was left as the leader of the Hanmen military officials in the army, Zhang Liao could not only influence around him, he could influence too many people.

Zhang Liao is not convinced, and the family does not want to take over the military power smoothly.

is another heroic, demoted general, Zhang is well-behaved, knows the power change, his temper is much better than Zhang Liao, and he partners with Guo Huai very well on the battlefield of the Western Front.

It's a pity that Zhang is a famous defeated general, and he can't help up.

By the way, Guo Huai is Wang Ling's brother-in-law.
