Chapter 710: The Rain is Coming
However, it was said that Huang Quan's wild words in the hall could make the Guanzhong Army embattled, and the danger of Yizhou could be easily solved, and everyone was a little unconvinced.
Rao is like this, Liu Zhang still seemed to have grasped the last straw, hurriedly got up and said: "Gongheng has a good plan, come quickly!" ”
Huang Quan waved his sleeves and said: "Although Chen Wenzhao seems to be powerful, he is actually in danger, as long as someone can add a fire to Guanzhong, it is very likely that Chen Wenzhao will be burned to pieces." ”
Liu Zhang hurriedly asked, "Please also ask Gongheng to explain in detail!" ”
Huang Quan said eloquently: "Chen Wenzhao killed the great Confucian Kong Rong and Taixue Confucian students, coerced hundreds of officials in the court, and oppressed the Son of Heaven, many people loyal to the Han family must hate him to the core. ”
"Now the Qiang trouble in Liangzhou has not completely subsided, Yuan Benchu in Jizhou has a bad relationship with Chen Wenzhao, Cao Mengde in Xuzhou is a person loyal to the Han family, and Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou is a relative of the Han family."
"Suppose the lord sends an envoy to these four princes to know the interests and make an appointment with the princes to fight Chen. If this matter is successful, no matter how strong the Guanzhong army is, in the face of the crusade of the princes of the world, the slightest carelessness will be doomed. ”
"At that time, how could Chen Wenzhao not withdraw his troops?"
"If the Guanzhong army retreats, the lord can send good generals to recapture Ba County, and even capture Hanzhong and occupy the entire Yizhou land."
Liu Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "Who can send envoys to Liangzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jizhou?" ”
……
Wen Zhao led the Guanzhong army to Langzhong, at this time the city was covered with flags, although the soldiers were very tired, they also had an eager expression on their faces.
Expanding the territory and making contributions is something that every man desires.
The news that Xu Huang and Gan Ning's soldiers and horses had broken the Yizhou army had already been passed over, and Sergeant Guan was even more demoralized and confident when he heard the words.
Wen Zhao stood on the top of the city wall in Langzhong, looked at the sunset in the sky, and said to Chen Hu: "The sunset is so beautiful, but it can't last long. ”
"I'm used to seeing the blood-stained land on the battlefield, and then looking at these red sunsets, how does Ah Hu feel?"
Chen Hu scratched his head and said grinningly, "What do you think?" It's all red! ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Chen Xu with some suspicion and asked, "My brother used to be the kind of real man who stood up to the sky and the earth, and was bold and incomparable, but now how can he talk like those scribes, which makes people sound very difficult?" ”
Shaking his head, Chen Hu stretched his waist and muttered: "When you talk around, you don't have a bit of manliness." ”
Li Dayin stood behind Chen Hu, and after hearing this, he forcibly held back a smile.
Chen Hu's eyes suddenly showed a sly smile, and then said: "No matter how red the sunset is, it can't be bloody, if my brother likes red, he can dominate the world, make the red land thousands of miles, and the blood will flow like a river." ”
"Manly man, when it is!"
Wen Zhao turned his head and looked at Chen Hu in a little surprise, a little surprised in his heart.
Looking at Chen Hu with a calm face, Wen Zhao finally sighed and said, "Ah Hu has grown up, and he is no longer the boy in Chenjia Village." ”
Wen Zhao could feel that Chen Hu had already transformed a lot over the years, and had taken off his immature and reckless coat in the past.
Chen Hu said solemnly: "No matter what, Ah Hu will always be the younger brother of the elder brother." ”
Wen Zhao smiled, hugged Chen Hu's shoulders affectionately, and said with a laugh: "Ah Hu, do you remember that I told you before that one day every child in Chenjia Village will be able to read and learn calligraphy?" ”
Chen Hu had a look of remembrance on his face, and said, "Brother's words in the past, how can Ah Hu forget them?" At that time, Ah Hu knew that this day would not come too late. ”
"It's only been more than ten years, and my brother has already redeemed his promises!"
Wen Zhao sighed slightly and said: "In the past, I just wanted the people of Chenjia Village to live a better life, but I never thought that I couldn't help myself in the troubled times, and I actually came to this situation step by step. ”
Speaking of this, Wen Zhao sighed, even if he looked back on his past experience now, he felt as if he was in a dream.
At the beginning, Chen Xu, who was righteous, ambitious, kind, and even a little indecisive, seemed so unattainable.
Until now, Wen Zhao still remembers that he had to defect to the Yellow Turban just to survive.
Subsequently, in order to lead the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army to survive, Wen Zhao mistakenly embarked on this road and competed for world domination.
At that time, Chen Xu did not have a single available person under his subordinates, and he had to do everything himself, and he was the first and cautious in every battle.
In the past, he was too weak, and if he was careless, not only himself, but even those Yellow Turban soldiers who followed him and never left him, could never recover.
More than ten years have passed, Chen Xu has become the most powerful prince in the world, and his reputation is shocking in China, but how many people are still alive in the Yellow Turban Army who followed him in the southern and northern wars?
"Wu Lie, Li Guo, Wu Di, Yang Feng, Gong Du, Jiang Wu, these famous people with surnames also died one after another, not to mention many soldiers who did not leave their names at all?"
Thinking of this, Wen Zhao's heart suddenly became a little blocked.
"Don't forget each other."
"I now sit in the land of three states, and I have countless soldiers, horses, money, and food, but you can't taste glory and wealth with me."
The setting sun dyed the sky red, and Wen Zhao's eyes suddenly floated, familiar and unfamiliar figures.
But in the troubled times, there are Jin Ge iron horses, swallowing mountains and rivers, as well as joys and sorrows, and horse leather shrouds.
"The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years."
"In this chaotic world with no end in sight, how many generals can get rid of the fate of dying on the battlefield?"
The cold wind blew, and Wen Zhao suddenly sneezed.
He stretched out his right hand, palm to the sky, and muttered, "It's going to get colder!" ”
"Stomp, stomp!"
There was a rush of footsteps, and I saw Lu Bu walking to the top of the city wall with a few generals under his command.
Lu Bu came to Wen Zhao and said: "It has been more than two days since our army arrived in Langzhong, so please bring 5,000 cavalry to Jiameng Pass first, waiting for the opportunity to attack the Sword Pavilion. ”
Wen Zhao shook his head without hesitation and said, "The army has come all the way from Pusaka, and it is already a little tired, and the war horses are also sleepy. ”
"It's better to rest in Langzhong for a few days first, and when Yuan Hao and Xingba lead the troops to arrive in Langzhong, it's not too late to discuss attacking the Sword Pavilion."
Tian Feng and Gan Ning, after giving up Zitong, which had become a ruin, led the army down the Zitong River and arrived at the Dianjiang River again.
The scouts had already heard the news, and it would not be long before the two of them arrived in Langzhong.
When Lu Bu heard this, he said stubbornly: "Zilong led five thousand cavalry to rush to Jiameng Pass, and there is no big problem, the remaining five thousand cavalry have been cultivating for a long time, and there is no problem at all with marching again." ”
"What's more, Jiameng Pass is only a few days away from Langzhong, and Wen Zhao doesn't need to worry about anything else at all."
Shaking his head, Chen Xu said firmly: "How to act, I have a plan in my heart, and my uncle should not worry." ”
Seeing that Chen Xu had no intention of letting him lead the troops at all, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a little sullen, and left the city wall with Wei Xu and them.
Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu's back, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Sima Yi, who was waiting to stand aside, said at this time: "Since ancient times, all marches and battles must be expensive and fast, why did the lord lead the army to delay here? ”
"Although the soldiers are very tired, it is not too late for them to rest and recuperate after they continue to march to Jiameng Pass!"
Wen Zhao glanced at Sima Yi and said, "As a general, you should know astronomy and geography." After careful investigation in the past few days, I found that it will not be long before the land of Bajun will be cloudy and rainy. ”
"If you lead the troops to Jiameng Pass at this time, when it is rainy and rainy, the grain and grass cannot be transported at all, won't the soldiers collapse without a fight?"
"I led the troops to rest in Langzhong, even if it rained, I could let the army eat the grain and grass in Langzhong City, and I didn't have to worry about the transportation of grain and grass."
Sima Yi was shocked when he heard this, and secretly thought: "I used to think that my knowledge was already very high, but today I know that I am a little arrogant. If I had led the army at this time, I am afraid that the army would have been trapped by the rain, resulting in a lack of food and grass. ”
As if seeing what Sima Yi was thinking, Wen Zhao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zhongda is still young, and there is still a lot of room for development. ”
"Among the young people in the entire Guanzhong, Zhongda's talent is second to none, and no one can compare. In the future, many of the heavy burdens of Guanzhong will be handed over to Zhongda, and I hope that Zhongda can learn more and not live up to my hopes. ”
When Sima Yi heard this, he immediately said: "There are countless wise and resourceful people in Guanzhong, and people like me are even more car-loaded, how can I be so virtuous and worthy of the lord?" ”
Wen Zhao said: "In the troubled times, heroes rise together, even if I don't dare to say that I can sweep the Quartet in my lifetime." ”
"Although there are many resourceful people in Guanzhong, they are not young. Even if this generation can look at the Quartet, I also have to consider what happened in Guanzhong. ”
"Zhongde is young and wise, pedantic, and one day will become a first-class talent in the world.
As soon as Chen Xu's voice fell, everyone looked at Sima Yi with envy.
It can be said that as long as he is a clear-eyed person, he can see that Chen Xu attaches great importance to Sima Yi, and he even said extremely bluntly that Sima Yi will become a trusted minister in the future.
This kind of cultivation and commitment, looking at the entire Guanzhong, no one else has obtained.
Therefore, when everyone looked at Sima Yi again, the eyes of the young man changed a little.
Sima Yi said in fear: "The lord is young and strong, and he will definitely be able to return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world in Qingping Sea in his lifetime, why did he say such decadent words?" ”
Wen Zhao laughed twice when he heard this, and said: "If I can really sweep the world in my lifetime, it is really Chengzhong Dajiyan!" ”
Putting his eyes on the direction of Jiameng Pass, Wen Zhao suddenly said: "Calculate the time, Liu Bi should have led the troops to Jiameng Pass, right?" ”
Just when Zhao Yun led the cavalry to attack the Sword Pavilion, the more than 10,000 defeated soldiers led by Liu Pi gradually completed their cultivation.
Subsequently, Liu Pi left 5,000 men and horses in Langzhong and handed them over to Yan Pu to guard the city, but he himself led the rest of the 5,000 soldiers to rush to Jiameng Pass under the stars.
Whether defending or besieging a city, the role of foot soldiers is far greater than that of cavalry.
There were only 500 foot soldiers in Jiameng Pass, and the troops were obviously a little stretched, so Wen Zhao asked Kuaima to convey the order and asked Liu Pi to lead the army to support.
Guan Hai heard Wen Zhao's words, and immediately stepped forward and said, "If nothing else, General Liu Pi has already arrived at Jiameng Pass yesterday. ”
Wen Zhao bowed slightly, then squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, and said to Guan Hai: "Ah Hai, you send a messenger to Jiameng Pass as soon as possible, and let Zilong lead the cavalry under his command to return to Langzhong." ”
The generals were shocked and asked, "Why did the lord act like this?" ”
Wen Zhao said with some concern: "This time even the rain may last for a long time, if the five thousand cavalry are placed in Jiameng Pass, the daily consumption of grain and grass is an astronomical amount, and Jiameng Pass may not be able to support it." ”
"Jia Meng Pass is now garrisoned by more than 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Gongming and Liu Pi, so there is no need to worry at all."
"Zilong's attack on the Sword Pavilion has achieved the goal of fighting for Yuan Hao and Xingba, and there is no need to continue to stay in Jiameng Pass."
Some of the generals suddenly realized when they heard this, and some people looked at the clear sky, but they were skeptical, and they didn't think that it would rain even more.
Only Dian Wei and Chen Hu, who were the first to follow Chen Xu, knew that he would never be wrong in his judgment.
When Wen Zhao was learning the art of war from Qiao Xuan, he used to study the sky every day like a little demonic, and he was not less said by Qiao Yu and Dian Wei.
But later, Chen Xu really studied some doorways, and after several tests, the two of them no longer had doubts about Chen Xu's attainments in Tianshi.
Later, whether it was Dongjun Po Buji, Jizhou Po Huang Fu Song, or Yuzhou Po Yuan Shu, Chen Xu was able to win because he was familiar with Tianshi.
However, Chen Xu pretended to be the Mandate of Heaven, but he could only understand it but not speak, and many people may still think that Chen Xu was really favored by God.
Therefore, when I heard that my lord swore that there would be a rainy day, not many people believed it.
As if seeing the doubts in everyone's hearts, Zhang Yu also said: "I watched the stars at night during this time, and I also found that the stars were vague, and I felt a little wrong. ”
"After being reminded by the lord, I guessed that it was really raining."
Since Zhang Yu is a local celebrity in Yizhou, Wen Zhao also brought him over on this expedition. Compared with Wen Zhao's prediction, Zhang Yu's words are much heavier in the hearts of the generals.
The drought and famine predicted by Changyu at the beginning, I don't know how many people were saved, even if he was as unruly as Lu Bu, he didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect for Changyu.
When everyone heard Zhang Yu say this, they immediately looked solemn and did not dare to have any doubts.
