Tianshui County, Xixian County, Shuhan Army Station,
A group of counselors from the Shu Kingdom gathered in the meeting hall. They were noisy and noisy.
Sitting on the main seat of the meeting hall is a middle-aged man wearing a silk scarf, a crane cloak, and a goose feather fan in his hand. Although he is no longer in his prime, he is still full of energy, majestic, and has the air of an immortal. General.
At this time, this god-like person frowned, and the hand holding the goose feather fan trembled slightly because of too much force. An angry look rarely appeared on his face.
"Prime Minister, Ma Canjun did not follow your instructions to defend the city this time, but instead stationed troops on the mountain on his own initiative!"
"This is nonsense! Wang Ping sent a message saying that the Wei army has cut off his water source. Isn't this self-destruction?"
"He shouldn't have been sent there in the first place. If General Wei had been sent..."
"What are you saying, you old man? Are you blaming the Prime Minister for misappointing people?"
"Prime Minister, let's not worry about the one-month period of traveling to Chu. Let's destroy Longxi County now..."
"I think we still need to make some preparations first, Waiyi..."
"Prime Minister! Prime Minister... "
The people below were all arguing, hoping that the people above would come up with a solution.
The man sitting in the upper position is none other than the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Kingdom, the core of the power of the Shu Han Kingdom, and the spiritual pillar of every Shu Han person, Zhuge Liang!
At this time, Zhuge Kongming had a rare look of anger on his usually calm and calm face. The disciple he valued most, the disciple he regarded as his successor, the pioneer of the Northern Expedition whom he promoted as an exception, actually made the decision without obeying military orders.
If Ma Su allowed Jieting to fall so quickly, it would most likely lead to the failure of the Northern Expedition, which he had planned for many years.
He took a deep breath and shook the goose feather fan in his hand slightly: "Don't panic, everything can still turn around. Our first priority now is to consolidate our political power in Tianshui County, Nan'an County and Anding County as soon as possible."
"Have you had any contact with the military power of these three counties recently? Have you investigated clearly who controls the military power?"
"Prime Minister..."
The counselor below wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhuge Liang as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Does the letter from General Wang Ping contain a geographical map of the mountains and rivers describing the street pavilion and the location of the camp?"
The people below were stunned by this sudden question: "Yes, there is a map attached, but the Prime Minister..."
"Okay, leave the map behind. You all can go down first and do your own business first. Things on the front line are changing rapidly, and arguing here will not help." After Zhuge Liang took the map, he began to drive away the people.
"Prime Minister..."
When the counselors wanted to say something more, the young man who had been standing quietly behind Zhuge Liang slowly stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation.
"My lords, please, please go back and do your own duties first, and give the Prime Minister a quiet environment to think about countermeasures."
Although everyone sneered at the young man, if what the young man said meant what the prime minister meant, they would have to listen.
After all, in the Shu Han Kingdom, the words of the prime minister are above all else. A group of people hesitated to speak, shook their heads, and went out sighing.
After everyone left, the originally bustling meeting hall became quiet.
Zhuge Liang opened the mountain and river geography map of the street pavilion in his hand, placed it on the desk, and looked at it carefully for a moment.
"Boyo, come and take a look and see if you can think of any way to crack it."
This young man was Jiang Wei, who was surrendered by Zhuge Liang when he attacked Tianshui County. At that time, Ma Zun, the prefect of Tianshui, learned that the Shu Han army was coming, and all counties responded to the Shu army. They suspected that Jiang Wei and others had different intentions, so they abandoned Jiang Wei and others and followed. Guo Huai, the governor of Yongzhou, fled to Shanggui. Jiang Wei and others could not catch up with him. When they returned to the city, the city gate was closed. They led their troops to Ji County, but Ji County did not let Jiang Wei enter the city. So he had no choice but to surrender.
Although surrendering was a helpless move, through spending these few days with Zhuge Liang, he had a deeper understanding of this wise man who had been living in rumors. The more I understand, the more I admire from the bottom of my heart. He was deeply impressed by the other party's strategy and conduct.
In Jiang Wei's heart, he always believed that the common people were more valuable than the powerful, but this idea of his was out of date in this world. Until he met Zhuge Liang, who not only had similar ideas to him, but was also more capable of realizing them. Then Jiang Wei started calling Zhuge Liang "Sir".
Zhuge Liang also came to appreciate this young man more and more during his contact with Jiang Wei, and regarded him as his disciple by default, keeping him by his side every day.
"Sir, judging from the geographical map of mountains and rivers, the position where the Wei army is stationed is between Nanshan where Ma Canjun is stationed and the ancient city of Jieting where General Wang Ping is guarding. Our army is numerically superior. If Ma Canjun can fight with Wei Jun before reinforcements arrive, General Wang Ping meets up. There may be a turning point..."
"Boyo's analysis is reasonable, but with his young character..."
Jiang Wei knew what Zhuge Liang had not finished saying. He had a relationship with Ma Di. At that time, he had just surrendered to Shu Han. Zhuge Liang did not avoid him when he held a council. Because Ma Di was Zhuge Liang's disciple, Jiang Wei paid special attention to him. In his impression, this man was arrogant because of his talent. Coupled with the prime minister's high regard and his background in a big family, he should look down on generals like Wang Ping who came from a lower level. Therefore, whether the method he just analyzed to break the situation will work depends on whether Ma Su is willing to lower his profile and cooperate with Wang Ping.
"Boyo, go and do some statistics on the people in Xi County. We have to prepare for the worst..."
... ...
Street pavilion, top of Nanshan Mountain,
Yue Fei is counting the number of people in preparation for the next raid.
Not far away, Li Sheng and Huang Xi were studying several war horses captured from the Wei army.
"This Wei army's war horse is indeed much stronger. Look at its thighs. When I wanted to mount the horse, it came over with one hoof. Fortunately, it is agile, otherwise it would be disabled now."
"It does look fierce, but look at the color of the coat, the breasts, and the butt. If you can tame it, you'll be getting a lot of bang for your buck."
"It's not like I don't have a war horse. I lent it to Wang Da. That's my old buddy. I can't change my mind."
"Old Huang, please pull him down. With your current status, let alone your old buddy, you can't make money even with this. Hahaha!"
When Yue Fei walked over, he heard Li Sheng and Huang Xi teasing each other.
As soon as the two of them saw Yue Fei coming over, they immediately put away their joking expressions, stood up straight and became serious.
"General Huang, you did a good job this time."
Yue Fei didn't say much: "You two come with me, and we'll discuss the next action plan."
After leaving these words, he turned and walked towards the camp, leaving the two of them standing there for a while to react.
"General Huang~, it seems that your old buddy can be saved!" Li Sheng realized that he was a little happy for his old brother and elbowed Huang Xi.
Huang Xi didn't say anything and walked silently into the camp with Li Sheng.
"I just received a message from Zhang Xiu. He has already joined General Wang Ping and started preparing for the reinforcement of the city defense."
Yue Fei said while lowering his head to study a map on the desk.
"Ma joins the army, shall we continue to adopt this strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west tomorrow?" Li Sheng curiously put his head around to see the map in front of Yue Fei.
"You two should also come and take a look. This is the geographical map of the mountains and rivers around the street pavilion drawn by General Wang Ping."
"Wei army reinforcements are expected to arrive in seven or eight days. We must gather our troops in Jieting City as soon as possible, strengthen the city defense, and guard Jieting for the Prime Minister!"
"Tomorrow, we will do this... "
