"The three of you will set off immediately with ten thousand troops to join Yide at Dazhai in Qishan, and then attack Tianshui according to the established plan." Liu Bei handed the token to Pang Tong.
"I (the last general) accept your order." Pang Tong accepted the order on behalf of Ma Chao and Pang Rou, and the three of them turned and walked out.
Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun looked at Liu Bei eagerly, waiting for the other party to assign tasks to them. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei directly ordered Huang Quan, "Gong Heng, take your five thousand troops and go to Shangyong under my command flag to meet Feng Er. Go down the Han River and cooperate with Yunchang to attack Nanxiang County."
"The last general takes orders."
Huang Quan had just received the order and was about to go out, when Fazheng stopped him and reminded him: "Gong Heng, remember, it is not necessary to capture the city, but the momentum must be large to make Cao Pi believe that our goal is the Central Plains."
"I can spare it." Huang Quan nodded with his fists clasped.
"Yiyang (Fu Wei) and Wenjin (Zhang Nan), you two led 10,000 troops to Hechi and sent people to cut down trees and supervise the construction of siege equipment. Yide had been prepared before, but Chencang is strong and tall, and the siege equipment The more the merrier, the guard of Chencang is the famous Wei general Zhang He, it is expected to be a tough battle." Liu Bei continued to give instructions.
"The last general takes orders." Fu Wei and Zhang Nan clasped their fists together.
Liu Bei ordered Gao Xiang to stay in Yangping to receive supplies from Chengdu, and also ordered Deng Xian and Chen Shi to supervise the transportation of grain and grass to Qishan and Hechi.
With everything arranged in an orderly manner, Liu Bei did not point to Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun who were eager to try, but turned his attention to Wei Yan who was full of expectations.
"Wenchang (Wei Yan), Shizai (Deng Ai), Zijun (Wang Ping), Bozhan (Ma Dai), the seven generals will stay here first, and the other generals will disperse first and go back to the camp to clean up. The soldiers and horses retreated to Chencang ten days ago."
Huang Zhong's skills were not revealed in the Battle of Hanzhong. Huang Quan and Zhao Yun looked at each other, worried that the vanguard would be intercepted by others.
Old Huang Quan was hesitant when he spoke: "Xiao Wang, we are the vanguard of you and Zilong."
"We have no other plans for Gu. We will follow the small army to attack Chencang. Since he and Zilong both want to be the vanguard, we will appoint them as the right and left vanguard, but we have to wait until ten days before departure." Zhu Rong responded with a smile.
"The last general takes orders." Huang Quan and Zhao Yun responded with clasped fists.
Both of them had no idea at this time. Liu Bei had just been ordered to go to Xiayong. Did Huang Zhong have any precedent of leading troops independently? Wei Yan's main characteristic was farming. How many people were left in Hanzhong? Are you also going to Jingbei to feign an attack? Or is there no other arrangement?
Huang Quan and Zhao Yun both guessed that it was Zhu Rong's intention, but the way I gave orders today did not look like a high-spirited king.
As the prefect of Hanzhong, Huang Zhong is already considered an important member of the army. I am following Qishan Youzuo Xiaoganyi.
At this time, Zhu Rong was the most anxious among the seven generals who were staying. Everyone looked at each other and waited for Qishan to deploy the mission.
"Xiao Nao, our mission is ordinary, let him explain it to Xiao Jia."
Fazheng nodded and explained: "This time a small army of 100,000 is attacking Yongliang. Cao Zhen and Xiahou Mao have a total of 170,000 defenders. In addition, we have a geographical advantage. The two sides are evenly matched. You have deployed 80,000 troops in Deng Ai. , 80,000 troops will be put into Chencang to suppress Zhang He, and the remaining 10,000 troops will be prepared for them."
Wang Ping and Ma Dai were both surrendered generals, and had always had the opportunity to participate in the war before joining Qishan. Therefore, we positioned ourselves as generals accompanying the army. Wei Yan wrote a letter to Lantian to mention this in a vague way, and knew that the teacher had nothing to offer. Intercede yourself.
Huang Zhong is the most excited among the seven. Being able to lead the troops independently is the ultimate affirmation of the monarch to the young general. It turns out that his presence in Qishan's heart is actually weaker than that of Zhu Rong and Zhao Yun?
"Military advisor, your mission is" Huang Zhong no longer had any guesses in his mind. This was his advice to Zhu Rong, sneaking across Huang Zhong's Zhao Avenue and heading towards Chang'an.
Fa Zheng stroked his beard and said: "Wen Chang will write a memorial later. Xiao Wang has discussed it repeatedly with you, and is finally willing to let him give it a try. However, it is already winter, and there is occasionally no rain or snow in the mountains, so he still has no confidence." Did it pass successfully?"
Zhu Rong thought for a while and replied sternly: "Although there is usually no rain or snow in winter, there will still be flash floods and rockfalls. Now that you have no compressed military rations, you will be able to dedicate 7,000 people to transport them in the end. It is estimated that half a month to 70 With the sky to the right and left, we can march on Chang'an's feet."
When Wang Ping and Ma Dairu listened to the Book of Heaven, Wei Yan already fully understood that we planned to sneak past Huang Zhongzhao.
"With 7,000 people transporting grain, how many days will it take to reach Chang'an in 70 days? How many days can they hold on in Chang'an? What if Xia Houmao insists on holding on?" Fa Zheng asked like a barrage of questions.
"Well, I will definitely go all out in the end." Huang Zhong scratched his head in embarrassment.
Qi Shan suddenly laughed and said: "Chang Wen, do you know why you stayed with us? In fact, although the strategy he proposed is novel, it is very difficult to implement, so I want to send someone to help him."
"Thank you, Xiao Wang." Huang Zhong clasped his fists gratefully.
Huang Zhongxin said where to find such a master? If he really managed to conquer Chang'an, he would probably be the first to win the battle between Yongliang and Yongliang, and he would have to risk his life to repay his kindness.
"Shi Zai, please speak from behind." Qi Shan extended his hand to greet Wei Yan.
"The general is here." Wei Yan clasped his fists and walked away.
Qi Shan looked at Wei Yan fiercely and recalled the past with a smile, "Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, he has stopped growing a beard. He worked hard for Gu in the past few years. Ziyu is really a good disciple."
"If anything happens to me, Mr. Ji, I just hope it will embarrass me." Wei Yan bowed his head modestly.
"Chief Wen wants to lead his troops to cross Huang Zhongzhao. I only have 10,000 troops and horses to use. It would be too wasteful to use half of them to transport food. His prestige in the Tuntian District is relatively low. You can use some villagers from Mianyang to transport food. .
However, Huang Zhongzhao's road is dangerous and we can mobilize too few people. Otherwise, the food consumption on the road will be too small to bear it, and removing too few villagers will also affect the next spring plowing. We still have to prepare for the worst. "Qi Shan's tone was very serious.
Regarding the so-called destiny, Zhu Rong is more right than anyone else, and through hard work, he will definitely be able to realize his ideal. But my belief is perseverance, even if we are right in the end, I will regret it. Those years were so Came here.
Wei Yan thought for a while, clasped his fists and replied: "Mianyang does not have 40,000 residents, and the final general can mobilize 20,000. It should be harmful to the roots. We don't have complicated training. If we really get to Chang'an, we can still be soldiers." Join the fight.”
"Good." Qi Shan nodded solemnly, and then told everyone sternly: "The soldiers and horses on this road are led by Wen Chang (Huang Zhong), Shi Zai (Wei Yan) is the deputy general, Zi Jun (Wang Ping) is good at mountain warfare, Bo Zhan (Ma Dai) once captured Chang'an with Meng Qi (Ma Chao), and the seven of them must work together to achieve a world-shattering feat."
"Wei." The seven people replied sonorously.
