Gao Qian hurried into the lobby of Jinyang, bowed to Xiahou Dun, then signaled slightly to Xiahou Jun on one side, and said: "General! I've found it!"
While speaking, Gao Qiang took a step forward and pointed to a little in the map hanging in the lobby.
"The prefect of Xihe led 3,000 troops and gathered in the Zi family. They may not be all elite soldiers, but they have been trained a lot. There are also some Hu cavalry, not many, about five hundred." As he said that, Gao Qian also moved his fingers to Pingyang, "In addition to the prefect of Xihe, there should be scouts cruising in Pingyang, and our people cannot get through..."
Xiahou Jun's face was a little ugly, "Does Pingyang have any movement to send troops?"
Gao Qian replied: "Not yet, but they must have received the news that we have conquered Jinyang. The increasing number of scouts and sentry detectives is proof..."
Xiahou Dun nodded, "I understand, thank you for your hard work. Let the scouts investigate again and report if there is any news!"
Gao Qian bowed his hand and turned around and got off the main hall.
Xiahou Dun pondered and said nothing.
The current situation is very subtle.
Xiahou Dun went deep into the army alone, but he captured the core of Taiyuan Jinyang in one fell swoop and obtained a large amount of materials and equipment, but the subsequent development encountered obstacles...
Thinking of this, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but glance at Xiahou Jun, and then sighed silently in his heart.
Among the Xiahou family, can’t Cao Ren be the second, or Cao Hong be the second? There are also Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and Cao Chun’s group, why can’t Xiahou family hold on?
Xiahou really can't hold on to this problem.
The Xiahou family cannot be considered weak. After all, Xiahou Ying was a founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty, and not everyone could be the Grandpa, Teng Duke of Jin and was granted the title of Ruyin Hou, but the descendants of the Xiahou family were not very upbeat...
For things like family, as long as one generation cannot keep up, there may be a gap. If there are a few more missed balls, it will only take a minute to destroy the family’s inheritance.
Xiahou Dun sighed slightly and focused his attention on the current situation.
Pingyang was not moving, Xiahou Dun thought it was understandable. After all, Cao Cao's heavy troops were stationed in Tongguan, which suppressed and pulled Guanzhong and Hedong, so it was normal for Pingyang to remain unmoved.
But the problem is Xiahou Yuan...
Xiahou Dun frowned.
In the original plan, Le Jin, as the feint attacking force that attracted firepower, took the lead in attacking Huguan. Whether it was Cao Cao or Xiahou Dun, he was not very sure of conquering Huguan in a short period of time, so he let Le Jin restrain and attract him more. Then, with Le Jin as the center, the two wings, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun were encircled and cut.
On the one hand, it can make the cavalry defenders exhausted, and on the other hand, it can also allow the Cao army to exert its advantage of being crowded, without having to be blocked on a pass like the six countries, and it cannot be used with force.
Indeed, if the Cao army's strategy is successful, Huguan will become an isolated island and will not attack. Once Shangdang Huguan is conquered, Cao Cao will immediately go to Hedong with all his might, making Shangdang Taiyuan stable and become a part of Cao's army, and then form a three-sided attack on Guanzhong.
Even if Shangdang Huguan cannot be taken down for a while, as the two interspersed sharp knives of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, the purpose is to cut the Feiqian territory and connect them into blocks of varying sizes, so that Cao Cao can mobilize his troops and form an absolute advantage in Hedong Guanzhong with more and less, and there is no need to worry about the back line.
This huge plan, the dispatch thousands of miles apart from east to west, south and north, can be said to be the result of the common wisdom of Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, and many other strategists. It is far more detailed and comprehensive than Cao Cao's strategy of attacking Jiangdong with a slap in his head in history.
But now there is a deviation.
Xiahou Dun's place looks like an isolated island.
Xiahou Dun was ready to attract the combat power of Pingyang Hedong. If Hedong sent troops to retake Taiyuan, then once his main force left Hedong, Cao Cao would immediately cross the river, march into Hedong, and attack Pingyang. Therefore, Pingyang's main force did not dare to move, Xiahou Dun could understand, but what he could not understand was that the prefect of Xihe was so brave that more than three thousand troops would dare to sway under his nose?
Chen Rui, the prefect of Xihe?
Xiahou Dun had never heard of this person.
If he wanted to fight Xu Huang, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun and others in the field, Xiahou Dun felt ashamed, but where did Chen Rui come out? He dared to show off his skills?
And there are not many people.
So if you can't wait in Jinyang, you seem to be a little passive.
But Xiahou Dun was not sure if there were other hidden troops behind Chen Rui. If he was going to fight with his troops, what if something went wrong, wouldn't it be...
If Xiahou Jun is a little stronger, then Xiahou Jun can fight Chen Rui on his behalf, and he can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and he is much more abundant. However, now Xiahou Jun is really disappointing Xiahou Dun, and he is not very relieved to release him again.
But after thinking about it, there is no better candidate.
So Xiahou Dun waved and asked Xiahou Jun to stand in front of Tuyu, lit up at Zishi County, and asked: "If you were asked to lead two thousand people to fight, how would you plan to fight? Only half of the two thousand people were our sons, and the other half were surrendered troops."
Xiahou Dun could not give all the Cao army soldiers he brought to Xiahou Dun, but he was worried that Xiahou Dun would not win if he was too young, so he could only match half of them. He asked how to fight instead of how to win, which was quite a bit like a dead horse.
Xiahou Jun learned some of the previous lessons, stood in front of Tuyu and thought for a moment, and said: "When you join forces, you should defeat them with the right ones, do not be greedy for merit, do not advance rashly, and choose good places to fight."
Xiahou Dun looked at Xiahou Jun and nodded slowly, "Good. Be careful, don't make any mistakes."
Xiahou Jun quickly bowed down, "The last general obeys the general's order."
Xiahou Jun led the order and left, but Xiahou Dun was still worried.
If you don’t send troops, you will sit and wait for death. However, if you send troops, you may fail and then be taken advantage of the situation. Therefore, Xiahou Dun also needs to reconcile his relationship in Jinyang, Taiyuan...
...
...
The news that Xiahou Dun knew was also passed to Cui Jun.
Of course, Cui Jun has now changed from being the Lord of Taiyuan to a vassal...
Commonly known as the pendant on Xiahou Dun's legs.
To become a pendant, of course, you must have the awareness of the pendant.
Cui Jun read the latest news and was silent for a long time. He called the servants to ask Cui Hou to come.
Now Cui lives in their original villa, and the original officials and courtyards of Cui have now returned to Xiahou.
While waiting for Cui Hou to come, Cui Jun was silent, even a little dull, with a bleak expression, as if he was dragged into a small dark room by more than a dozen men and locked up for three days.
Until today, Cui Jun still couldn't help but think in his heart that if he would rather die than surrender, what would he have become now?
When the shit is not coming, most people will not know what the intensity of their chrysanthemums are.
There is a saying that holding shit can lead to a thousand miles, but diarrhea is hard to go. The reason why you can't control diarrhea is mostly because you control the muscle group of chrysanthemum, including but not limited to the inner sphincter, which belongs to the smooth muscle group. This muscle has a characteristic, that is, they do not fully accept the direct control of the brain consciousness, but are in a state of listening to the tune but not listening to the propaganda. You listen when you want to listen, and do whatever you want when you don't want to listen. You are very willful.
From this perspective, the original county system of the Han Dynasty, including officials of a place, prefects and governors, etc., was like a muscle group like chrysanthemum. The Han Dynasty thought that the prefect should obey the central central brain, but it was not...
Because the Han Dynasty did not form stronger supervision, the governor system became empty constraints more often, which made the local prefect always have an illusion that they could poop at will and did not need to control their own desires.
This is not just Cui Jun's problem, but the problem is that it is wrong or wrong. Even if it is dragged into the water as an excuse, it cannot erase the mistakes he made.
It’s like seeing a group of people robbery and murder, so it’s right to rob and kill people yourself? A group of people are watching pirated copies, so you can be justified by watching pirated copies?
It's just deceiving oneself.
Cui Jun is just deceiving himself now. Even though he knew in his heart that he would be more and more wrong and worse when doing this now, but he still did not have the courage to admit his mistakes and correct them. After all, it is very expensive to change it to a mistake, so this huge cost has become a comfort and excuse for Cui Jun to deceive himself and continue to make mistakes.
As long as you don't admit your mistake, there is nothing wrong.
After a while, Cui Hou arrived.
Cui Hou seemed to have lost a little weight, her face was pulled, and the oil on her face became much less.
"Brother..." Cui Hou's voice was full of fatigue.
Cui Jun glanced at Cui Hou and said, "Sit down."
The two of them sat together for a moment and were speechless. Who would have thought of getting a guest in the past and being imprisoned today. This is the vicissitudes of life.
After a while, Cui Jun said, "Find an opportunity in the past few days, send people, money and property to Shandong as soon as possible... don't need to bring coarse benzene items, pick up more fine and soft... First go to Yecheng to visit Cui Jigui, and then go to Boling...
Later generations often thought that the Cui family in Qinghe actually had a Boling Cui family.
The Cui Jun-like family is the Cui family of Boling.
Cui Yan is the Cui family in Qinghe.
Now that I have voted for Cao Cao, returning to Boling has become a necessity in helplessness.
『But...but...' Cui Houduo was reluctant to leave.
The assets they finally bought in Taiyuan have now become waste that cannot be taken away. Even if they want to take over, they cannot find a buyer.
Cui Jun waved his hand and said, "What is outside your body... I heard that... I have already decided you and me as traitors... I will never be able to choose a scholar by name from now on... Even if you and I don't leave, there will be no place to stand here in the future..."
『But…』 Cui Hou was still unwilling to give up and whispered, 『We can say that it was a forced one... they did not come to reinforcements...』
"Haha." Cui Jun smiled and refused to argue.
Cui Hou blinked a few times and fell silent.
Who can't make excuses?
The key is whether the excuse is useful and whether anyone is willing to recognize it.
When Cui Jun first heard that Fei Qian was about to hang it up and frame it, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. However, after he finished his anger, Cui Jun understood why he had always felt like he was being excluded.
To put it simply, if Cui Jun did not change, even if he did not vote for Xiahou Dun, it would be difficult for Fei Qian to go further.
In Guanzhong, it is not impossible to gain fame, but if you want to be promoted, what is more important is ability.
Wherever a person is, he must serve his butt and betray his butt. At the very least, he cannot control his shit and urine, and at the worst, he will die.
If Fei Qian had cut off with famous scholars at the beginning, then Fei Qian would have died miserably. But now Fei Qian is not alone, but a large group of poor families who benefited from the imperial examinations, and even ordinary gentry who were not even considered poor families. The lower-level military academy would have cut off with "Famous scholars" together, and the situation would be different.
In addition, Fei Qian also linked "Famous Scholars" with big troubles...
From the day Cui Jun surrendered, the so-called "fair name" was hung on Cui's head, and then Cui would become the thorn in the eyes of all the "famous scholars" in Guanzhong. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. How many parents did Cui kill now?
Unless Cao's army can win.
However, Yang Qu and the subsequent events made Cui Jun realize that Cao Jun was not as terrible as he originally thought, but what could it be? Everything was too late, so although Cui Jun hated him, he could only choose to escape helplessly...
It was like Cao's army fled in the city at that time.
And he also had to escape secretly.
Cui Jun sighed long, "If I can really get out of office... I hope I will not go to office again in this life... I will do it as soon as possible. I am worried that if... even if I want to leave, I will not be able to leave..."
The flesh on Cui Hou's face twitched, and in the end he could only grit his teeth and walked out with a look like his parents died again.
From the beginning, I felt that I could resist the Cao army, to become a prisoner of the Cao army, to surrender, and then I felt that I could rely on the Cao army to become glorious again. I was immediately awakened by a basin of cold water in Yangqu, and then I fell into an unworthy ice cave...
This huge psychological ups and downs made Cui Jun really worse than going back and staying in seclusion without asking about worldly affairs. However, most of this thought was just thoughts, just like he could not let go of his pride and status before, but now he still can't let go of it.
Giving up is simple, but letting go is difficult.
...
...
In Pingyang, Fei Qian convened a military meeting with the generals and the military academy.
Huang Cheng and Zhang Xiu are on the left and right.
"Cao's army was stationed on Niutou Plateau, and the food and grass came from Yanzhou to Heluo, and arrived directly outside Tongguan. It consumed a lot of money every day. If the Cao army could cut off the food route, they could win without fighting! Even if the Cao army had a million troops, they could win without fighting!"
Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice, obviously after some thought, "Cao's army came from afar, and was unable to save it under Tongguan. He was exhausted. If he could cut off his food and grass, it was also in the cold winter. If he could not eat enough for one day, he would be weaker. If he could not eat enough for two days, he would lose half his life! So, in his opinion, he would cut off his food route first and attack his army second!"
Zhang Xiu's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the hall.
This is the combat staff military conference system that Fei Qian has been implementing.
Generally speaking, the military commander and deputy position, as well as relevant major generals in the military, attended the meeting to understand the military dynamics through the meeting, and understand the role they should play, clarify the responsibilities of each part, and be clear about it, rather than taking the tips into your arms after the event on the spot...
Mr. Luo, who likes to add tips to Zhuge, doesn’t think about it. What if the tips are lost halfway through? Get another one when you go back?
This is also Fei Qian specially trained middle and lower-level military academies in the army. The purpose is to change the disadvantages of officers in this era who only know how to follow the arrangements of Shangguan. Under such a training system, soldiers can know why they fight, know what they should be responsible for, what they should do well, and make each combat unit have a certain initiative. In this way, they encounter emergencies on the battlefield, and will not wait for the commander's command in a daze, and then collapse in a difficult and numb state.
This is a profound change.
After the Three Kingdoms, there are no more gods.
This is the case in history, but it has not been done thoroughly like Fei Qian.
With the expansion of China's territory, military generals who fight against foreign countries must have a certain initiative. This is not just a problem that will not be subject to foreign military orders, but the entire military system must adapt to a broader combat area and a more complex military situation.
Attempting to use books and dogma to bind military generals will only trap China's own hands and feet.
Let the generals grow and cultivate more intermediate forces, rather than relying on one or two top generals to support the overall situation, this is the most important part of China's foreign military strategy...
Fei Qian encouraged these generals to grow and was willing to give them more opportunities.
Zhang Xiu's idea is naturally good, but it's a pity that Cao Cao likes to cut off people's food channels, so he himself is more afraid that the food channels will be cut off.
Fei Qian did not comment on Zhang Xiu's idea on the spot, but nodded and asked others if they had different opinions.
On the map, although it is already very abstract, the situation of the confrontation between the two sides is still clearly visible.
Huang Cheng stood up, bowed to Fei, then walked a few steps forward, and arrived in front of the map.
"Zhang Zhengwei's strategy of intercepting grain is indeed the key point of Cao's army," Huang Cheng looked at Zhang Xiu and nodded in praise, "Because I have been in charge of scout detection for a while... so there are some additions..."
Huang Cheng pointed to the map and said: "These days, the scouts have repeatedly detected the incident. Cao's army built a post along the river. If there is any movement, it will be a warning... I have led people to test it once. As long as the post on the other side is discovered, there will be troops and horses to help within three hours. It can be seen that Cao's army is very prepared for the river and is difficult to cross the river and attack easily."
Zhang Xiu frowned.
Huang Cheng turned his head and said, "There is another point, as today's weather is very cold and the river is frozen. If you want to cross the river, you will attack it from Fengling Ferry, and there are a lot of broken ice. Some places cannot sail at all. In addition, the two ferries in Jin, Shaanxi and Tianjin are both under the enemy. Cao's army built a military camp...
This is indeed the actual situation. Huang did not deliberately arrange it by refuting Zhang Xiu, so Zhang Xiu could only nod and sigh slightly after hearing this.
Huang Cheng also said: "And according to the report of Jia Hongjia, Cao's army built a granary in Shan County, two of the three places were suspected to be fake... So if we want to attack Cao's army's rations, I think we must obtain certain information before we can take action. My suggestion is to attack Xiahou of Taiyuan... There are three thousand troops of Chen Taishou in the Zi family, which can be used as bait...
Fei Qian listened, but his eyes looked at the sky outside the hall.
The clouds are thick and it seems that it is going to snow.
