Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 290
Hanzhong Mansion, Li Dingguo Barracks.

On September 20th, Deputy General Wu Zisheng finally returned from escorting grain and grass in Chengdu.Wu Zisheng said: "Report to the Marquis of Jin, Governor Zhang has raised a total of [-] shi of grain, and some other supplies, all of which will be escorted at the end."

"General Wu has worked hard, please speak in the camp." Li Dingguo smiled.

When I arrived at the Chinese army's tent, I saw that all the main generals in the army were here. Apparently everyone had received the news and was waiting for Wu Zisheng here.

While exchanging greetings with everyone, Wu Zisheng said, "Everyone, I'm so sorry for making you wait so long! It's not that I don't want to come back earlier, but that the matter of raising food has been delayed for too long. Your Majesty promulgated the policy of Huguang filling the river. To collect taxes, these grains were transported to Chengdu by Governor Shi Kefa, thanks to the establishment of the postal system by the imperial court, and the carriage of grains by four-wheeled carriages, otherwise we don’t know how long it will be delayed.”

Wang Zhibang joked: "I think you, Old Wu, were careless and only focused on looking at women along the way, so your journey was delayed."

The rest of the generals roared with laughter, and Wu Zisheng also laughed and said: "General Wang, when it comes to looking at women, I dare not compare with you. You can't even stand on your hind legs when you see women."

Li Dingguo happily watched his subordinates say some nasty words, then he waved his hands and said: "Okay, it's time to discuss the business."

The sound was not loud, but there was no sound in the big tent immediately, and everyone sat up straight with extremely serious expressions.

"With the 20 shi of grain and the military rations we stored in Hanzhong, it is enough for our army to last for a year. General Li Guo has already shown his talents in the southern Shaanxi area. We are not to be outdone. It is time to fight the enemy. Everyone , what good strategy do you have?"

Wang Zhibang said: "The emperor praised the Marquis of Jin as the God of War in the Ming Dynasty. It's up to the Marquis of Jin to make up his mind. If you tell us to go east, we will never go west. If you tell us to beat dogs, we will never chase chickens."

People laughed again, Li Dingguo said: "What God of War is not the God of War? That is the emperor's praise of me, but don't take it seriously. How can there be a god in the world? War is all about brainstorming. I don't have superhuman powers, and I still need everyone's help." help."

Wu Zisheng was the No. [-] martial artist admitted by the Daxi Army when the military officer examination was held in Kunming, Yunnan.He has hills and valleys in his chest, pointing to the map.

"Since ancient times, there have been seven ancient Shu roads from the Guanzhong Plain across the Qinling Mountains to Hanzhong and Bashu, and four of them are famous. From west to east, they are Chencang Road, Baoxie Road, Luogu Road and Ziwu Road. Now we want to When troops leave Hanzhong, it is natural to choose one of these four roads to march."

"These four ancient roads have their own advantages and disadvantages. From Hanzhong to Xi'an, Chencang Road is the farthest, Baoxie Road is in the middle, Luogu Road is the shortest, and Ziwu Road leads directly. Although the distance of Luogu Road is short, the road is high in mountains and dense forests, with many river valleys. Difficult and dangerous. After thinking about it, it is nothing more than choosing between Chencang Road and Baoxie Road. The subordinates feel that Baoxie Road is the safest. Zhuge Liang took the Baoxie Road many times during his Northern Expedition.”

As soon as this remark came out, the generals agreed one after another, and quarreled again. Some suggested taking the Chencang Road, some suggested taking the Baoxie Road, and some said that Luogu Road could also be used.

But there is one point that everyone has reached a consensus and a tacit agreement, absolutely not to mention Ziwudao.

Li Dingguo asked: "Why do you avoid talking about Ziwu Valley?"

"General Li asked knowingly that Ziwu Road is not a place for troops, so why mention it?" Wang Zhibang shrugged.

Wu Zisheng said: "Ziwu Road was opened by Wang Mang. Although it leads directly from Hanzhong to Xi'an, Ziwu Valley has cliffs and countless plank roads. The precipitous situation is not inferior to that of Luogu Road. During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei Yan proposed the Ziwu Valley strategy to lead elite soldiers to attack Xi'an from Ziwu Road. It was categorically rejected by Zhuge Liang; during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when Huanwen attacked the former Qin Dynasty in the north, Sima Xun sent troops from Ziwu Valley and suffered a disastrous defeat."

"These are two long-standing stories. Let's talk about the ninth year of Chongzhen, Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang's troops came out of Ziwu Valley, and they were defeated in a mess. He became a prisoner himself, and he was taken to the capital and died 1560 times. General Li, you still Remember this incident?"

Li Dingguo said: "The year Gao Yingxiang was defeated in Ziwu Valley, this general was 16 years old, and he has served in the army for six years. Naturally, his memory is still fresh."

After a pause, he praised Wu Zisheng and said: "General Wu has both civil and military skills. Just now he made a speech about the past and the present, and quoted scriptures and classics. They are all word-for-word! Although it can be used as a lesson, it cannot be rigid."

Wu Zisheng frowned, and shouted: "Could it be that the Marquis of Jin wants to send troops to Ziwu Valley and stage a plot in Ziwu Valley?"

After being reminded by him, the other generals suddenly came to their senses, stood up hastily, and persuaded in unison: "Marquis Jin, please think twice!"

"Everyone sit down, everyone sit down, don't be surprised." Li Dingguo said calmly and calmly, "This general expected that you would object, it doesn't matter, the military discusses matters freely. You all agree with General Wu point of view, right?"

The generals nodded one after another, and Li Dingguo said: "Okay, then I will tell you my thoughts, and everyone will give advice."

"Zhuge Liang said in "Longzhong Dui" that his strategic concept was that the Shu Han would occupy Yizhou and Jingzhou, and when the world changed, the two places would send troops to attack Cao Wei at the same time. Later, Guan Yu lost Jingzhou carelessly, leaving only the Shu Han In the land of Yizhou, there was no cooperation from the direction of Jingzhou. This is the fundamental reason why Zhuge Liang vetoed Wei Yanziwugu's conspiracy! Now, Li Guo's army is sending troops from the land of Jingxiang, which has turned upside down southern Shaanxi. We have wasted too much time After a long time, we should cooperate with Li Guo's army as soon as possible."

"Let's talk about Gao Yingxiang again. The reason why he was defeated in the Meridian Valley was because his marching speed was too slow, and he fell into the predicament of running out of food and soldiers. Now our army has a new army, which is good at fast and long-distance raids. Gao Yingxiang's army is worlds apart."

"We are in a different situation from Zhuge Liang and Gao Yingxiang, and the enemies we have to deal with are also different. In particular, Liu Jinzhong is a tough man, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Do you have anything else to say?"

It was a long, eloquent and well-founded argument, and it was indeed profound and difficult to refute.

Generals, you look at me and I look at you, speechless.Wu Zisheng said: "The Marquis of Jin should have thought about it for a long time, right?"

"That's right, during the days waiting for you to come back, General Ben has thought about it over and over again. This is the conclusion I have reached after careful consideration."

"The Marquis of Jin's ability to use troops is rare once in a hundred years. Since this is the conclusion that the Marquis of Jin came to after careful consideration, it must be feasible! However, sending troops from Ziwu Valley is indeed extremely dangerous, and the general is willing to take the risk himself!" Wu Zisheng volunteered.

Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "No, this general will implement this plan himself..."

The generals shouted: "No, absolutely not. The Marquis of Jin is the commander-in-chief of the army. How can he be personally in danger? If it is spread out, what face do we have to stand between heaven and earth, and call ourselves the leader of the army?" people?"

Li Dingguo said with a smile: "After some good intentions, this general accepts it, but this general has made up his mind, so don't try to persuade me again! Your Majesty has been kind to me, killed Oboi, fulfilled my loyalty, and gave me a chance to release Sun Kewang , to fulfill my loyalty. To meet such a sage, I have no choice but to report to the king on the golden platform, and to carry the jade dragon to die for the king!"

Hearing Li Dingguo speak so impassionedly, the generals were also deeply infected and stopped persuading him.

Wu Zisheng said: "Then what shall we do?"

Li Dingguo beckoned, asked everyone to stand in front of the map, and said with a smile: "Since it is a conspiracy in Ziwu Valley, of course yin and yang must be combined to help the false and the real, otherwise how can it be called a conspiracy?"
