Mi Han

Chapter 538

Chapter 538 Jingzhou sends troops to attack from both sides

The action of the Han army is very fast.

On the third day after the meeting, Liu Feng, who had sorted out all the affairs, led tens of thousands of Han troops towards Jieting.

After Liu Bei left [-] Han troops to hand over to Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, he led the remaining [-] troops toward Longxi County.

At the beginning, the total strength of the Han army brought by Liu Bei from Liangzhou was around [-].

However, in the past few days, Zhuge Liang sent another [-] Han troops from Liangzhou for Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang is the number one milkman in the Three Kingdoms. As long as he is given enough time, he will continue to provide troops, money and food for the front line.

In this way, the total strength of the Han army in Liangzhou reached [-].

If the nearly [-] Qiang Di Cavalry Army and the [-] Han Army led by Mi Yang are also included, the total strength of the Han Army's Northern Expedition this year has reached [-].

These [-] are all soldiers who can go directly to the battlefield!

And that's just the early days.

With the passage of time, especially after Liu Bei consolidated the territory of the three counties of Longyou, the total strength of the Han army will gradually increase.

In the foreseeable future, it is very likely that the total strength of the Han army in Guanzhong will infinitely approach [-] people.

One hundred thousand regular troops, this powerful force, even though Liu Bei has decades of experience in commanding the army, he has never owned it.

It can be said that in order to win the Northern Expedition, Liu Bei put almost all the savings of the big man over the years on it.

Compared with the Battle of Hanzhong back then, it was more thoroughly suppressed!

And in order to completely let the big man turn into a dragon again and leap into the vast sky, when Liu Bei led his army away from Tianshui County, he also officially issued an edict to go to Jingzhou.

Naturally, this edict was for Cheqi General and Jingzhou Shepherd Zhang Fei.

The imperial edict was filled with Liu Bei's eagerness, but it arrived outside Xiangyang a few days later.

When Zhang Fei learned that Liu Bei had sent an edict, he hurriedly summoned all the Jingzhou officials in Xiangyang City.

Under Zhang Fei's eager call, Deng Zhi, Guan Ping, Zhao Lei, Xiang Lang, Wang Fu and other important officials came to the meeting hall one after another.

When a group of Jingzhou officials learned that the emperor's edict had been sent, their faces were as happy as Zhang Fei's.

The reason why they are so happy is that this edict proves that Liu Bei has not forgotten their existence.

The previous Jingzhou Mu Guan Yu died of illness in the second year of Zhang Wu. It was also in that year that Zhang Fei officially succeeded Guan Yu and became the new Jingzhou Mu.

When Zhang Fei took over as Jingzhou Mu at the beginning, he had the mentality of doing a big job in his heart.

After all, Jingzhou has a special geographical location. As a Mu Bo in such a strategic location, it is almost impossible to fight without a battle.

But what Zhang Fei never expected was that he had been planning to succeed Jingzhou Muman for nearly three years, but during these three years, he had never fought a single battle.

The most important reason for this is that before Liu Bei left, he had repeatedly instructed Zhang Fei to give priority to the development of production in Jingzhou, and not to start a war without authorization.

In order to ensure this, Liu Bei also left Deng Zhi in Jingzhou to assist Zhang Fei.

From a strategic point of view, Liu Bei's arrangement is not wrong.

Because since the Battle of Chibi, Jingzhou has been in the flames of war almost year after year. The rich and prosperous country of that year has long since disappeared in the boundless flames of war.

All that's left is scars.

Otherwise, relying on Jingzhou's national strength back then, Jingzhou alone could contribute [-] troops.

And Liu Bei just wanted to take advantage of the peace in Jiangdong in recent years to restore Jingzhou's national strength as soon as possible. This is what Zhang Fei needs to do most.

It's not that Zhang Fei doesn't understand Liu Bei's thoughts, even if he doesn't understand, Deng Zhi will explain it to him.

Zhang Fei initially wanted to develop Jingzhou for Liu Bei obediently.

But there is a nephew named Mi Yang, who is really "hateful".

The battle of Xicheng and the battle of Liangzhou, these two victories completely pushed Mi Yang to the throne of the current Han general.

And Zhang Fei's seat is in the lower reaches of Liangzhou. He has watched helplessly over the past few years, and Mi Yang on the side has won big victories one after another, which has aroused the amazement and praise of the world one after another.

But what about him?

Health care in the first year, farming in the second year, and carelessness in the third year.

Even though he occupies Jingzhou, a land of four conflicts, Zhang Fei has no way to take the initiative to send troops to fight a battle. This kind of life is not as good as it was in Brazil.

Even now, Mi Yang has leapt to become a general above him.

Zhang Fei has a straightforward personality, so he will definitely not be jealous of Mi Yang, but he will feel jealous!

As a close relative of Liu Bei, how could he not want to fight Wei Gou, and how could he not want to die for Liu Bei's great cause?

What's more, he is Zhang Fei who is warlike!

And most importantly, with the passage of time, even Zhang Fei's subordinates gradually became dissatisfied with the status quo.

No wonder.

Whenever Mi Yang wins a big victory, the names of Liangzhou's subjects will resound in the world once.

Uncle Mu is compared with Uncle Mu, and subordinates are naturally compared with subordinates.

In contrast, even Deng Zhi, who has a calm personality, can hardly sit still.

As a Han Chinese, who doesn’t have an eager heart for success?

Whenever the world advances the subjects of Liangzhou, they will always compare them with the subjects of Jingzhou.

In this comparison, everyone is even more worried.

Especially Guan Ping among the crowd.

At that time, he was famous all over the world for the First Battle of Public Security, but to this day, his remarkable record is still only the First Battle of Public Security.

If I knew it earlier, I would have hugged Zicheng's thigh and followed him away!

Everyone had different ideas, but one thing was unified, that is, they all showed very eager eyes when they looked at the edict in the messenger's hand.

If the imperial edict could be eaten, everyone would have already picked up their chopsticks.

As soon as the envoy Dong Yun entered the lobby, he was startled by everyone's eager eyes.

It was the first time he met such a gaze after so many missions.

But Zhang Fei is more direct.

Seeing that all the subordinates had arrived, Zhang Fei jumped up from his seat, wiped off the beard under his lips, and walked towards Dong Yun hungrily.

Seeing Zhang Fei walking towards him impatiently, Dong Yun quickly bowed to Zhang Fei and stopped him: "General Cheqi, decent, decent!"

No matter how impatient you are, you still have to wait for me to finish reading the contents of the imperial edict.

It's a pity that what Dong Yun is facing today is not Mi Yang, but Zhang Fei who has never paid attention to decency.

Zhang Fei laughed and "took" the edict from Dong Yun's hand, and then quickly unfolded the edict in his hand and read it.

This move was naturally disrespectful, but Zhang Fei didn't care.

If you have the ability to sue him.

Although Zhang Fei acts like a reckless man, in fact Zhang Fei's literary accomplishment is still higher than that of Liu Bei.

Therefore, Zhang Fei quickly read the contents of the imperial edict.

After reading the contents of the imperial edict and knowing that it was Liu Bei who asked him to send troops, Zhang Fei immediately shouted at Deng Zhi who was behind him:

"Get my spear!"

Zhang Fei's voice was so loud that Deng Zhi, who was close at hand, was stunned by Zhang Fei's yelling.

But soon Deng Zhi's dizziness was dispelled by the joy in his heart.

Although Zhang Fei did not specify what was in the edict, what else could happen if General Cheqi could take a spear?

At this moment, Deng Zhi went to the weapon rack behind with joy on his face, and handed the heavy fine steel spear to Zhang Fei.

Seeing the behavior of Zhang Fei and Deng Zhi in front of him, Dong Yun wanted to hide his face and run away.

That's all for a general of chariots, Deng Shangshu, you are a celebrity!

Why don’t you pay attention to propriety anymore?

And it wasn't just Deng Zhi, looking at the panic-stricken appearance of the Jingzhou officials in the hall, Dong Yun couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

Today's Jingzhou has no dignity at all!

But what Dong Yun didn't know was that all of this was suppressed.

After taking the spear in his hand, Zhang Fei spoke very quickly to Deng Zhi: "The follow-up supply of food, grass and troops will be handed over to the king.

I will lead the army to Yiyang County first! "

Zhang Fei still respects Deng Zhi, who was born as a celebrity.

After saying this, Zhang Fei hastily walked out of the lobby with the spear in his hand.

Previously, Zhang Fei had hoarded some heavy troops in Yiyang County because he might have a premonition that Liu Bei's edict would come soon.

Now as long as he rushes to Yiyang, he can lead his army into Nanyang County in an instant.

After Zhang Fei disappeared with the gun in front of everyone, Guan Ping and the others looked at each other, and hurriedly followed Zhang Fei out of the lobby.

Dong Yun couldn't help feeling a little amused when he saw that General Cheqi led the army to march before he even had time to drink a cup of tea.

Throughout the ages, who else can match the speed of the chariot general?

Then Deng Zhi cast apologetically at Dong Yun:

"Dong Shilang, I'm going to be busy with military affairs, I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you properly."

After hearing Deng Zhi's words, Dong Yun understood instantly.

This is telling me to go.

Deng Bomiao, Deng Bomiao, how did you become what you are today.

Thinking of this, Dong Yun flicked his sleeves with dignity and strode out of the lobby.

Just go.

In the future, whoever loves Jingzhou will come!

Seeing Dong Yun leaving in a hurry, Deng Zhi couldn't help being surprised.

He still hasn't said the second half of his entertaining words.

Why did Dong Shilang leave?

But Deng Zhi didn't care about it now, he quickly summoned his subordinate officials and issued a series of government orders to him.

Seeing Deng Zhi's eager look, the subordinate officials were a little puzzled.

Seeing that the subordinate officials were puzzled and hesitant, Deng Zhi said bitterly:

"If it's one step later, the credit will be all Liangzhou's!"

After hearing Deng Zhi's words, the subordinate official just belatedly took orders and left.

The minister of Jingzhou, swear not to be the third child!

Almost on the same day Zhang Fei received Liu Bei's edict, Sima Yi in Wancheng also received Cao Rui's edict.

After reading the content of the edict, Sima Yi immediately sent someone to invite Zhang Xi.

But while waiting for Zhang Yun's arrival, the thoughtful Sima Yi couldn't help but think about one thing.

The edict he received was issued by Cao Rui, which shows one thing, that is, the power in Luoyang is almost controlled by Cao Rui.

Sima Yi, who is good at political struggle, of course knows what this means.

His family members in Luoyang had conveyed to him the news that Cao Pi was in poor health.

But now it seems that Cao Pi's body is definitely not only bad.

It is very likely that he has reached his deathbed.

Otherwise, Sima Yi understands Cao Pi's character very well. If it were not for his terminal illness, Cao Pi would never let go of the power in his hands easily.

After realizing this, Sima Yi silently prayed for Cao Pi's body.

Regardless of what he will do in the future, based on past experience, the relationship between him and Cao Pi is indeed very deep.

On the other hand, Sima Yi was deeply worried about his future in his heart.

He can now become a great official in the frontier and hold military power, all thanks to Cao Pi's trust.

But once the emperor and the courtiers, will Cao Rui still trust him so much in the future?

Especially when he is far away from the center at the moment.

Sima Yi is a person obsessed with power, it would be fine if he didn't have it.

But once he had it, he lost it, which is absolutely unacceptable to Sima Yi.

While Sima Yi was thinking about these things silently, Zhang He came to Sima Yi.

After Zhang Yun arrived, Sima Yi quickly put away his guesses, with an expression of loyalty to the country on his face, and handed over Cao Rui's edict to Zhang Yun.

Cao Rui worshiped Zhang He as General Zhengxi in the edict, so that Zhang He's status was higher than Sima Yi's.

However, Zhang Xi was not delighted by his rise in status, his face was full of worries about the situation in Guanzhong.

Then Zhang He looked at Sima Yi and asked: "If Sima Gong leads the troops to Guanzhong, how should he deal with the enemy?"

Although there has been no major war in Jingzhou in recent years, there have still been many frictions between the two armies on the border of Yiyang County.

And in the face of those frictions, Sima Yi always made the right decisions in time, which allowed Wancheng to go through the most difficult period.

To this day, the Wei army stationed in Wancheng can not only protect itself, but occasionally take the initiative to send troops to harass the counties in Yiyang County.

It can be seen from these things that Sima Yi is indeed a man of great talent.

That's why Zhang He thought of asking Sima Yi this question before leading his troops.

After Sima Yi heard Zhang He's question, he thought about it and gave Zhang He a suggestion:

"The enemy army is coming fiercely, and their morale is high. At present, it is not suitable for our army to fight head-on with the enemy army.

If we want to defeat the enemy, in my opinion, only by taking advantage of the favorable location in Guanzhong and destroying the enemy's food routes, can our army have a chance of victory. "

After listening to Sima Yi's suggestion, Zhang Yun thought for a while.

Sima Yi's suggestion directly coincided with what he had in mind.

After bowing to Sima Yi to express his thanks, Zhang Yun hurriedly left the hall.

The military situation in Guanzhong was urgent and he really could not tolerate any delay.

And just a few days after Zhang Xi led the troops to leave Wancheng, an astonishing news came from Yiyang County.

Han Cheqi General, Jingzhou Mu Zhang Fei, led [-] troops north to Yiyang, Chen Bing border!

After learning the news, Sima Yi immediately understood Liu Bei's intentions.

"There are changes in the world, and a general will be ordered to lead the army of Jingzhou to Xiangwan and Luo, and the general will lead the people of Yizhou to come out of Qinchuan. How dare the people not eat the pot of milk to meet the general?

If this is the case, the hegemony can be achieved, and the Han Dynasty can prosper. "

This was the last step in Zhuge Liang's alignment.

Now this step has become a reality.

But Sima Yi didn't panic at all.

With him stationed in Wancheng, how could it be so easy for Zhang Fei to break through?

Since Zhang Fei dared to come, let him cut off one of the big man's arms first!
