Shu Chen

Chapter 365 Compromise
Guarding the pass with hundreds of soldiers, resisting the attack of more than [-] enemies for many years without sinking, and being able to pursue and kill the enemy's head when the enemy returned from retreat, so the deeds of Huo Jun, the prefect of Zitong, are enough to be recorded in history.

Now Zheng Pu speaks convincingly, claiming that Liu Yin, the guard of Shuyin City Fortress, is as capable as Huo Jun, which surprised the prime minister and Ma Su.

Since the Northern Expedition, Liu Yin has mostly served as a deputy guarding places, and he has not experienced many battles.In particular, he is extremely brave, and his reputation in the army is "Warrior".

It's not that the fierce generals who charge into battle are incapable of defending.

But this time the matter is very important, if Huo Jun is still there, the prime minister will not think otherwise.However, Liu Yin had no similar defensive experience before, even if Zheng Pu claimed that his life could be guaranteed, it made it difficult for the Prime Minister to make a decision for a while.

The way of fighting for life and death in the army is related to the destiny of the country, not a matter of private gambling.

If he made a mistake, even if he took the head of Zheng Pu as a guarantor, what would be the point?
However, the prime minister still firmly believed that Zheng Pu was not a liar.Therefore, the thought of "don't save" in my heart became more and more heavy as time passed in meditation.

Without him, if Liu Yin could have Huo Jun's ability, it would be of great benefit to the Han army!
Not only did it resolve the strategic passivity of being suddenly attacked by Ni Wei, but there was also a subtlety of changing the situation.

Not to mention that if the Han army does not go to the rescue, Sima Yi, who is against Wei, who is sitting in the Guanzhong army, will not be able to find the place where the big man is weakly defended. , Return to the old capital.

Let me ask, how much would the Wei army have used the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Luoyang Central Army and [-] troops from Bingzhou to besiege the fortress of Yuyin, but the Han army passed through without any effort, how much would it do to those Wei soldiers and the Kwantung gentry? hit?With the mouths of the world, how do you judge the dispute between Wei Wei and Dahan's fate?

Although the benefit of people's hearts is intangible, sometimes it can determine the outcome of a war and the fate of a country.

Perhaps, after this battle, Wei Guo will no longer have the idea of ​​retaking Longyou and Liangzhou, but will accept the fact that it has already been done, and turn to use Guanzhong Sanfu as a barrier for Luoyang!
That is to say, in the future war between the Han and Wei Dynasties, the attack and defense will change hands!
Naturally, the premise of everything is that Liu Yin's defensive ability is as Zheng Pu said.

The prime minister, who had always been cautious, had never bet on a single person for the turning point of the Northern Expedition.

After all, the world has already established itself, and the revival of the Han Dynasty is not only the result of a generation.

But now he feels more and more that he can take a chance.

Because of the hours-long discussion, the sluggishness of his blood after kneeling for a long time made the prime minister's knees start to spasm and ache again, which made him feel that the hope of the revival of the Han Dynasty would eventually fall on the younger generation.

Sooner or later.

While he is still here, it is better for the best of the younger generations to fully display their talents and learn, hone and accumulate the experience and experience of controlling the overall situation for the future, rather than groping for them alone in the future.

At least he is the minister of the former emperor Tuogu, the father of today's son, the prime minister who decides everything from small to small!

And after him, the big man will no longer have a prime minister, and no one who can bear the trust and prestige of such a dangerous arrangement.

And according to Zheng Pu's words, it is not negligence.

When the late emperor used Wei Yan as the prefect of Hanzhong and the country's fence, Wei Yan was still the brave and indomitable General Yamen. He was also praised as a "warrior" by the army, and he had no experience in defending a front-line town.But now, who said that he has no ability to defend?
Alas, I do not know when, many things have been for many years.

And let the juniors have a try.

With the relentless passage of time, the younger generation will eventually become the older generation, and become the one who can restore the Central Plains Han Jing on his shoulders.

The determined prime minister opened his eyes, set his eyes on Zheng Pu's already silvery temples, and said slowly, "When discussing military and state affairs, we should ask for nothing to be missed. Life is a guarantee."

Without waiting for Zheng Pu to plead guilty, he made a decision.

It was a compromise between the strategies of the three.

According to Zheng Pu's words, we will not send soldiers and horses to rescue the fortress of Yuyin, but after the spring plowing, the prime minister still wants to station troops in Xiaoguan, and Wei Yan still wants the governor to send rescue troops from Jincheng County.

And in order to save the grain and fodder in exchange for the [-] war horses, the time for Sun Wu to send troops out should also be implemented earlier.

The left and right are just the loss of [-] horses, so there is nothing to hesitate.

The right is to be prepared.

Zheng Pu felt a little sorry for such a dispatch, but he didn't dare to raise any objections.

Not only because the prime minister has made up his mind, but also because his strategy has not been finished yet.

If the prime minister agrees to his proposal not to rescue the fortress of Yuyin within half a year, he will propose to use Wei Yan to guard Longyou and Jiang to protect Hexi after half a year, and ask the prime minister to personally supervise the main force of the Chinese army from Hanzhong County Xiegu out of Guanzhong!

At that time, the autumn harvest was approaching, and the troops were dispatched just in time to snatch the ripe wheat that Wei Wei had garrisoned, so that the Han army would have no shortage of food and fodder, and would be able to fight Sima Yi in the wild!
Offense is the best defense.

Zheng Pu felt that if he wanted the Han army to recuperate safely in the next few years, the only way to defeat the main force against Wei Guanzhong was to break their backbone!Otherwise, as long as the strength of the army against Wei Guanzhong still exists, it will come back in the future, similar to the fact that Xiahou's Confucian soldiers are trapped in the fortress of Yinyin and seized the strategic opportunity.

Instead of passively defending, it is better to control the initiative of the battlefield first within the allowed range.

As for the risk of sending troops out of Guanzhong with few enemies, the inconvenient transportation of grain and fodder along the Qinling Valley Road, etc., will it cause the Han army to return home without a feather?
Zheng Pu wasn't worried.

In his view, the prime minister fought Sima Yi with an upright army, and these disadvantages would not determine the outcome.

There is another unspeakable reason, which is that Zheng Pu's original intention of embarking on an official career has not changed, so he is now very eagerly looking forward to the early arrival of the Han army entering the pass.

After all, this year has been the 13th year of Jianxing (AD 236)!
He was worried that the prime minister would not see the Han banner fluttering in the wind above the majestic Chang'an city wall, and that the prime minister would die in regret before the day when he was still in the old capital.

But let's fight for the day and night.

It doesn't matter if it is criticized for putting the lives of soldiers at risk, or it doesn't matter if it is charged with militarism in disregard of people's livelihood.

He is willing to do his best!
Hexi Corridor, Juyan City.

Standing on the city wall and looking out, everything is covered with snow as far as the eye can see.About ten miles away from the city, the right camp of the Southern Xiongnu and the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei, and countless dome huts stretch to the sky.

They have been in the besieged city for nearly a month, and they have never tried to attack the city.

But today is different.

After a burst of thundering drums and the shrill sound of bone flutes, nearly three thousand horsemen slowly came towards the city, and drove more than a hundred Han prisoners away with whips.
