Chapter 903 Fa Xiaozhi leads the army eastward
?After Gan Ning left the room, Yan Yan stared at the book "The Essentials of Restoration of Arms" that Gan Ning had just stuffed him with, and his mouth was a little bitter.--.
According to Gan Ning, this exquisitely-bounded "The Essentials of Restoring a Military" is a basic textbook read by generals of Jin during training in the Wohu Martial Arts Hall. The first word "Xing" in the book is named Zhao Xing, which means that this book is Zhao Xing's discussion on military tactics and military affairs.
Without any trouble, Yan Yan got up and sat at the desk and carefully looked through the book left by Gan Ning. As a result, Yan Yan felt more and more exciting as he read it. In the end, he couldn't help but shout in the room.
Standing not far outside the house, Gan Ning finally could leave with confidence after hearing Yan Yan's cheers in the room. Taishici once specifically told Gan Ning that Yan Yan was "soft but hard". If he wanted to conquer, he had to move him with emotion and never force him. Now it seems that what Taishici said is really right, but Gan Ning really couldn't figure it out. This is the first time Taishici has seen Yan Yan, so why did he know Yan Yan's temperament so well?
The reason why Taishi Ci knew so much was of course that Zhao Xing had a special explanation before leaving that Sima Yi's powerful generals recommended Zhang Ren, and the next one was Yan Yan. If Gan Ning had not been arrested at the beginning, he would probably have to be ahead of Yan Yan. Zhao Xing naturally had to think about these people carefully and would never miss one.
Since Zhao Xing secretly ranked the generals in Yizhou, he would naturally compare the scholars in Yizhou.
The first person among the wise men is naturally Sima Yi, a vicious guy. Following Sima Yi, it is Fazheng, the grandson of Fazhen, who has just revealed his sharp horns. Now the world does not know Fazheng's ability, but Zhao Xing, who was reborn, knows that Fazheng is a top strategist who is comparable to the "Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicken".
From the official history, for Liu Bei, Fa Zheng's early death was like Cao Cao's defeat of Guo Jia. Guo Jia died at the age of 38 and Fa Zheng died at the age of 45. After Guo Jia died, Cao Cao led his army south to attack the Eastern Wu, but suffered a great defeat in the Red Cliff. At that time, Cao Cao sighed that if Feng Xiao was still there, why would he be defeated in the Red Cliff? Similarly, after Fa Zheng died, Liu Bei insisted on leading his army to attack Wu, but ended up suffering a great defeat in Yiling. After Liu Bei's defeat, Zhuge Liang once said: It's a pity that Fa Zheng was not there (he is dead). If he was there, he would definitely persuade Liu Bei not to fight. Even if he fought, he would not be defeated like this.
In Zhao Xing's view, Sima Yi's subordinate Fa Zheng was enough to stand up to Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Fei Shi and others. It was precisely because he knew Fa Zheng's power that he agreed to Taishi Ci bring Li Ru with him, and at the same time equipped the army of Yinan, Gan Ning, Guan Ping, and Wang Lu, the military generals who were both civil and military.
Taishi Ci didn't expect to take Yan Yan's 60,000 army so easily. He originally planned to pay the price of 30,000 Han army and the local soldiers in Jiaozhi to take Yan Yan. Now, because Sima Yi was eager to open the road to Jingzhou, Fa Zheng took the 100,000 army to Yiling, but he was in vain to attack the Yinan Route Army. If Sima Yi knew the result of his arrangement, he would probably not separate Yan Yan and Fa Zheng from him.
Because of the small losses and the arrest of 40,000 Yizhou soldiers, Taishici and Li Ru adjusted their strategies to attack Yizhou again.
Originally, Taishi Ci planned to continue to pretend to be "local thieves" in southern Yizhou and continue to wait for Sima Yi to send troops over to be beaten. Now, because of his strong troops and the situation in Jingzhou is even more serious, Taishi Ci and Li Ru decided to officially show off the banner of attacking the Yinan Route Army and appear in southern Yizhou with the appearance of sweeping everything, so that Sima Yi can understand.
The sooner Taishi Ci revealed her identity, the less resistance encountered on the northern front, and could also restrain the actions of Zhang Ren and Fazheng on the eastern front. It can be said that she will kill multiple shots. Of course, doing so will not be much beneficial for the attack on the Yinan Route Army itself. After all, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is the most enjoyable thing. Just like Yan Yan's great defeat this time, the biggest reason is that he did not understand the true identity of the opponent, which led to underestimating the enemy and rushing to the enemy. If Yan Yan knew from the beginning that Taishi Ci and three tiger generals were waiting for him in Yizhou County, he would definitely be very cautious and cautious, and even defended the city in the country of Jianwei, and would not easily go deep into the enemy's back.
Taishici and Li Ru made such a seemingly thankless decision. They would rather attract firepower to themselves, but because of the overall situation, Zhao Xing repeatedly emphasized that generals without a overall situation cannot be the commander. This is to remind the generals under him to always look at the problem from a strategic perspective and not only care about their own land. If everyone has a concept of the overall situation, bloody things such as constraints, quarrels, and shirking between the armies will rarely happen, which is very important for achieving a strategic victory.
Just as Taishi Ci commanded three tiger generals to rest and recuperate the troops, disperse 40,000 Yizhou soldiers and divide them into various armies for exercises, Fa Zheng, who was trusted, also arrived in Yiling with 100,000 Yizhou new soldiers.
Zhang Ren had received a secret letter from Sima Yi before, knowing that Fa Zheng led a large army to Yiling this time to support him in quickly removing Huang Zhong and Li Yan who were blocking the front. Although Zhang Ren felt a little unhappy, he still personally left the central army tent and came to welcome Fa Zheng's arrival very enthusiastically.
"Xiaozhi, I'm waiting for you day and night to wait until you come." Zhang Ren grabbed Fazheng's hand and said half-truely.
Facing Zhang Ren, the first general in Shu, the junior Fa Zheng, dared not be entrusted and bowed to Zhang Ren very politely and said, "I came here to obey the commander's order. Now the barbarians in southern Yizhou are in chaos. We will take Yiling as soon as possible and capture Nanjun, so that the great commander's sorrow can be relieved!"
Seeing that Fa Zheng could distinguish between the primary and secondary, and did not show a domineering attitude towards Fa Zheng, Zhang Ren was much better at Fa Zheng's senses. He frowned and nodded and said, "Xiaozhi still needs to help me take down Huya Mountain as soon as possible. The two generals Huang Hansheng and Li Zhengfang who were stationed on Huya Mountain opposite us really gave me a headache!"
Fa Zheng was just here, and he was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but said cautiously: "Everything needs to be dominated by the governor. I am not familiar with the situation here. After I observe it carefully, I will definitely share my worries with the governor!"
Zhang Ren looked at Fa Zheng with praise and said, "This is so great. Please tell me everything you need to know and speak, and help me attack Jiangling City as soon as possible!"
Fa Zheng then said: "If the combat power of the 100,000 new soldiers from Yizhou from Chengdu is really a bit unsatisfactory, please ask the governor to organize generals and old soldiers with experience in leading troops to train the new army as soon as possible, so that they can be put on the battlefield as soon as possible and become a truly useful force!"
Fa Zheng took the initiative to hand over the military power of the 100,000 new army, which was exactly what Zhang Ren wanted to say but was inconvenient to say. Fa Zheng's strength was to make a surprise plan. Being a military advisor did not organize troops training and exercises. If he took a lot of money to hold on to the training of the troops, it would be difficult for Zhang Ren to do it. Please see if there is no advertisement for the starter--.
