Shu Chen

Chapter 357 Abnormal
"Although I know that Zijin's choice must have both ability and political integrity, Huang Zongxun is not suitable for serving in the prime minister's office."

The prime minister who was silent for a moment, looked at Zheng Pu and said slowly, "The prime minister's mansion is still in charge of the government, and it is a place that both the government and the people pay attention to, and there is no room for negligence. If Huang Zongxun is included, it may make other people who are committed to loyalty The officers and men were discouraged and missed the merits of the Northern Expedition! However, since Zijin promoted it, it can be seen that his talents must be different. I will write a letter to the land of Shu and Gongyan, so that when he is in charge of the government, he can see Huang Zong's inferior talent and promote him at his discretion. Two strikes."

Alas, sure enough.

Hearing this, Zheng Pu sighed in his heart.

The title and achievements of the father's generation are inherited by the son, and vice versa.

This is the way the world is, and it cannot be changed.

This is also the reason why Qiao Zhou recommended Huang Chong to the prime minister after returning to Chengdu for more than a month.

And still taking advantage of the great victory in the war, I mentioned it with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Qiao Zhouyan and Huang Chong were previously entrusted by Zheng Pu to recruit more talents and talents as apprentices, so that Zheng Pu could be recruited as his confidants or help in the future, and seek like-minded people who will fight for the Northern Expedition.

It's just that many of Qiao Zhou's current disciples are still young and difficult to use.

Coincidentally, he entered the palace every ten days to be confused by the emperor Liu Chan's interpretation of scriptures. He accidentally ran into Huang Chong and talked with him.

At that time, when Zheng Pu heard Huang Chong's name, he recommended it.

The reason is that it cannot be explained to outsiders.

"It's because Pu's thinking is not good enough."

Hastily pleaded guilty, and Zheng Pu retreated to the next best thing, and continued to recommend, "However, Pu thinks that such a trivial matter, it is better not to let Jiang Changshi come forward to attract the attention of others. And now there is no shortage of officials in Bashu. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to ask the emperor to send Huang Zongxun to work in Hexi on the grounds that he should go out of the place to practice. Well, Pu secretly thinks that if Huang Zongxun is given the opportunity to practice, his talent will not be inferior to his father in the future."

No less than Huang Quan! ?
After hearing this, the prime minister slightly raised his eyebrows and was slightly moved.

Without him, because of Huang Quan's Wen Tao Wu Lue, even when the first emperor was alive, there were so many talents, there were very few who could surpass him.

If Huang Chongguo is as Zheng Pu said, then staying in Bashu is really a waste of talent.

And the emperor Liu Chan ordered Huang Chong to be an official, and the benefits he could reap were not only the simple continuation of the good story between the late emperor and Huang Quan; It is a worry to regard them as aliens—even Huang Chong, the son of a traitor, was granted power by the Han court without pursuing the past, let alone them!
"What Zijin said is quite appropriate."

The Prime Minister who understood the relationship in a moment, nodded and smiled, "The Son of Heaven and Zijin have always been on good terms, so let Zijin pretend to tell the Son of Heaven. Well, it seems that the son of the Chief Wen has been banned from the palace for some time. Let’s invite you together. After becoming a general, he should enter the army as soon as possible so that he can inherit his father’s reputation in the future.”

"promise."

Zheng Pu, who got what he wanted, took the order and bowed his hands to make a speech, "Prime Minister, Pu will go back to deal with other affairs first."

"Um"

Slightly nasal, the prime minister drooped his eyes for a moment after seeing Zheng Pu's figure leave, and then ordered the guard on duty to call Xiang Lang.

It is not just about recording the meritorious deeds of the soldiers in the Lushui tributary battle with Xiang Lang, Zheng Pu mentioned it just now, which reminded the prime minister that there was no scholar in Liangzhou except Jiang Wei who served as a member of the prime minister's office.

This is not conducive to the return of Liangzhou scholars.

In addition, when dealing with Liangzhou affairs, one or two local people from Liangzhou can consult at the center, which will make it easier for the imperial government to implement the government's decrees.

It is no coincidence.

Sima Yi, the governor of Wei State Yongliang in Chencang City, Youfufeng, is also thinking about the balance of the generals under his command.

More than half of the Jingqi in Guanzhong died, and the later general Fei Yao could not escape the blame. As the governor, he also had the duty to plead guilty to Luoyang and adjust the chief officials of various ministries in Mingsha Mountain.

In fact, there is nothing to adjust.

General Xia Houru, who conquered the North, had already stationed in the area of ​​Dingxi City. In terms of seniority and status, he just let Hu Zun, Deng Ai, Xu Gai and others take orders from him.

But after much deliberation, Sima Yi decided to transfer Guo Huai.

Because he insisted on "the arrow is on the string and has to be fired" before, now he has changed his course and has given up his combat intention to besiege the city of Yuyin and force the Han army to fight this year.

It's not that the order changes day and night.

But with the loss of cavalry, his original strategic purpose has been unable to achieve.

In his plan, the purpose of besieging the fortress of Yuyin was to encircle and fight for reinforcements, forcing the Han army to fight.It made the Han army unable to cultivate their health and rest in peace, and continued to consume Bashu's war background, poor and weak, and was finally defeated by the powerful state of Wei.

In order for the war to continue, there must be two support bases.

One is the containment of troops.

For example, the main force in Guanzhong must be all in Guanzhong, intimidating the Han army Longyou and the garrison troops in Hanzhong not to dare to leave without permission.

In addition, the left and right tribes of the Southern Huns and the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei must be able to frequently harass the counties and counties in Hexi, so that all the Han troops stationed in Hexi cannot be dispatched, so as to ensure that the troops of the Ru tribe of Xiahou will not defend the enemy with their backs.

The other is that Guanzhong Jingqi should be able to form the horns of each other with Xiahou Rubu.

Only the cavalry with strong mobility were on the sidelines. When the Han army came to rescue the fortress of Shuyin, they would worry about the safety of the grain road, and they would not dare to attack the Xiahou Confucian tribe with all their strength.

Just imagine, when these two preconditions are fulfilled, the Xiahou Confucian tribe will go to the fortress of Yuyin and be trapped by high fortresses and deep ditches, waiting for the Han army to come to rescue.If Nishu came with Longyou soldiers and horses, the Guohuai tribe would approach Zuli City and cut off its grain road; and if Nishu used Hexi soldiers and horses to rescue, Guanzhong Jingqi would rush into Wuwei County or Jincheng County, forcing them to return for help!In this way, it is to firmly grasp the initiative of the battle situation in the hands, so that Ni Shu will be wary and be in a dilemma.

But now Guanzhong Jingqi can no longer fight, so that Nishu Hexi soldiers and horses can drive to rescue, how can Xiahou Confucianism alone be able to trap the city safely?
Maybe they will be attacked by both inside and outside the city and return home in a disastrous defeat!
After all, in the previous battles, Xia Houru had suffered a series of defeats against Ni Shu.
Moreover, Sima Yi did not have much hope for the left and right tribes of the Southern Huns and the Tuoba Xianbei tribe.

They vassalized the Kingdom of Wei to fight because the more than [-] elite cavalry in Guanzhong of the Kingdom of Wei had the deterrent power to attack thousands of miles and slaughter their tribes in one fell swoop!
Now that most of the elite cavalry in Guanzhong have been lost, An Neng expects them to contain Nishu's garrison in Hexi?
The opportunity has been lost, and planning is difficult.

Sima Yi felt that instead of doing it reluctantly, it would be better to continue to let Xiahou's Confucian tribe hide, and fight again when the time is right.

Therefore, he wanted to transfer Guo Huai to Mingsha Mountain to supervise the affairs, so that the Han army would not notice anything strange.

But what he didn't expect was that the emperor Cao Rui, who had just returned to Luoyang not long ago, actually changed his previous opinion and planned to continue to implement this plan.
