Shu Chen

Chapter 306
In Gaoping City, Anding County, in the middle of spring, everything is still tired and full of killing.

The faint sunshine can't wake up the sleeping mountains, can't melt the thin ice on the river, and can't give people a little warmth.At least General Wei and Sima Yi, the fake Huang Yue commander in charge of Yongliang's military affairs, felt that the sun falling on his body was not warm at all.

The results of the war in Liangzhou were truly astonishing.

Previously, he and Luoyang Cao Rui made a plan, intending to drive away tigers and devour wolves. After the Han army and Liangzhou Haoyou were both defeated, they would march and fight, and take back the authority of "the border ruled by the border".

Therefore, Guo Huai, Fei Yao, Xia Houba and other generals' repeated attempts to fight were dismissed as the time had not yet come.

Unexpectedly, Wei Ping and Jia Xu were defeated so quickly!

Jia Xu, who focused on support and knew that a decisive battle was impossible, actually let the [-] coalition army fall to the north in the first battle of Lingjusai.At that time, when Huang Hua sent envoys to ask for help, many generals in Guanzhong were surprised and inexplicable.

Bi Jiaxu is also the ear of a veteran general in the army, why is it so unbearable!
Sima Yi, who heard the news, couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and hurriedly dispatched various ministries to prepare to send troops to harass Longyou, intending to let Jincheng County, which had been reduced to death, last longer.

But as soon as the food, fodder and armaments were ready, the soldiers had just assembled, and when they were about to take oaths and set off, new military reports came one after another.

Wei Ping, who had [-] soldiers, was defeated and died more than ten days later, causing Jincheng County to change hands!
Those are the [-] soldiers of the Wei State for the border of the town! !
With the strength of the cities in Jincheng County, even if [-] young and strong hold on, they can ensure that the cities will not be lost for several months!
Don't say that all the generals in Guanzhong who worked with Wei Ping couldn't believe it, even Sima Yi who had never set foot in Jincheng County found it incredible.

But there is no need to suspect that the military situation is wrong.

Guo Huai, who was guarding Gaoping City, had long asserted that it would be difficult for Wei Ping and Jia Xu to keep Liangzhou.Therefore, being cautious, with the convenience of the military market, the Tuoba Department of Xianbei, who is entrenched in Helan Mountain, dispatched scouts to spy on Liangzhou's military situation at all times.

At the beginning, Tuoba Liwei searched for excuses.

But after Guo Huai claimed that he could increase the share of the arms trade, he did his best.

Therefore, the news came very timely.

Even in the next month or so, the timing of the flag change in the counties of the Hexi Corridor was found to be exactly the same.

Naturally, after Jincheng County was breached, it was foreseeable that the Hexi counties would change flags, and Sima Yi didn't care about the follow-up.

What he is more concerned about now is the thoughts of the generals.

There is no way, he, who used the power of the governor to suppress the various ministries to fight, inevitably fell into a situation where he lost his prestige.

Those generals all insisted that it was because he was afraid of war that he was in a predicament of sitting back and watching Liangzhou disappear.Even questioning words such as "The governor of Sima fears Shu like a tiger, so there is nothing he can do about it", "If the great Sima is still alive, there will be nothing like today" have begun to chew their tongues in private.

Sima Yi couldn't tell the difference.

He couldn't announce his plan with Luoyang Cao Rui to the public, and he couldn't angrily accuse Wei Ping and Jia Xu of defeating so quickly that he didn't even have time to send troops to rescue them.

They are all men in the army, who would criticize those who died in battle?
Furthermore, claiming that Liangzhou was defeated too quickly is also to prove that the army against Shu was unstoppable. As the governor of Yongliang, how can he make such a statement of the ambition of others!

Filled with helplessness, he galloped to Gaoping City after repairing the book and submitting it to the Luoyang Temple.

He needs Guo Huai, who is most familiar with military affairs in Yongliang and whose prestige can silence other generals, to refer to Wei Guo's response to the current situation.

Along with him were Du Xi, the military adviser of the great general, Xue Ti, the governor of Yongliang, Fei Yao, the later general, and Wu Qiujian, the governor of Yongzhou.

Not only because the five of them are the highest-ranking officials in Yongliang, and the conclusion of the discussion can be described as the conclusion of Yongliang's brainstorming, but also because the identities of the five of them almost include the suggestions of the Kandong family, Yongliang's frontier generals, and Luoyang Temple.

It is just that the atmosphere of the meeting is the same as that of the cold weather, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Fei Yao, who used to be Cao Zhenxin's belly general, had a look of anger on his face, obviously hard to calm down.

Guan Qiujian, the minister of Emperor Cao Ruiqian's residence, had a gloomy face, not sure whether he was worried about the unrest in the current state affairs or he didn't want to see the result of the loss of Liangzhou.However, Du Xi and Xue Ti, who were born in a family in the Guandong family and were highly valued in Wei Wu, frowned and kept silent.

Only Guo Huai looked normal.

Perhaps, it was because he had expected the situation today.

Sima Yi, who had been secretly paying attention to everyone's expressions and had a very deep city, realized something when he saw this, so he tapped on the case a few times with his fingers, and said loudly, "My lords, what should we do now that this is the case? Seek for the country, but if you think about it, you can speak freely without restraint."

As soon as the words fell, Fei Yao, who was at the top of the seat on the left, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then relieved the anger in his chest and abdomen, then cupped his hands and said, "Go back to the governor, I have already Immediately make a statement to Luoyang Temple, ask the emperor for approval, and send all the Guanzhong army out of Longyou to attack against Shu. And ask the imperial court to conscript Bingzhou Shuofang to protect Liu Bao and some troops of Xianbei Tuoba to go west. Disturb the county when it is not stable, and make it uneasy for the soldiers to go back and forth!"

"Um"

Sima Yi, who seemed to have expected it long ago, nodded his head and made a soft nasal sound, showing a smile, "General Fei is worthy of the pillar of our army, serving the country without hesitation, commendable!"

After praise, he turned his head to look at Du Xi and Xue Ti on the right.

It also made Fei Yao hold his hands and bow his head, not to show the disappointment and dissatisfaction in his eyes to others.

Disappointed because Sima Yi politely declined his proposal because he was noncommittal; and dissatisfied because he still has the heart of "fear of war".

But Fei Yao can't argue anymore.

Because Sima Yi is not only Wei Guo's Minister of Gu Ming, but also a general who has not lost a single defeat since the Warlord's conquest!

"Captain, I thought we could fight."

Du Xi, who was being watched, spoke first, "However, spring plowing is coming soon, so I don't think the whole army can go there. We can send a few troops out of Longyou to contain the main force of the Shu army, and then use our army's cavalry to conquer the Southern Huns and the Huns." The Tuoba tribe of Xianbei entered Hexi to harass them, making it impossible for Nishu to pacify the people and accumulate valleys in Hexi."

"The military master's words are very kind!"

Before Sima Yi could express his opinion, Xue Ti, the governor, echoed his voice, "Nishu has raised troops year after year, the national power has declined, and the soldiers are exhausted. Moreover, the land in the west of Hexi is far away. If our army harass it with cavalry, and if they help, the soldiers will be exhausted; If we don’t rescue them, the counties and counties in Hexi will be uneasy, and the people will rebel against them, and come back to meet our army. Our army will be able to benefit from waiting for work with leisure!”

"good!"

Sima Yi nodded and stroked his beard, and praised with a gurgling smile, "If you are tired and tired, if you are tired and tired, you can surrender without fighting!"

But such a hidden attitude of not wanting the whole army to go out also annoyed Guan Qiujian on the left.

Without waiting for Sima Yi to inquire, he got up and cupped his hands and said, "I want to report to the governor, Yongzhou was ripe last year, and the military and people's food storage was abundant, and they could send [-] troops to conquer one year old. And the people's hearts are stable, young and strong Everyone can collect corvee, so there is no need to worry about delaying spring plowing."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the office.
