The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 229 The Temple Calculation of the Northern Expedition ([-])
"After excluding a small number of county soldiers in various counties, our current army strength is 15. At the beginning of this year, General Yamen led 2000 people into Weixing County. Of the remaining 2000 people, I plan to use 15 people for the Northern Expedition In addition, after the army marched north, 12, 8000, and 7000 people were drawn from the 5000 members of the Nanzhong Army, 5000 from the Yongan Army, and 1 from Habayashi to form a temporary army of [-]. The Hanzhong Corps going north, strengthen the defense of every valley in Hanzhong!"

Guan Yi, a power minister, was not as vicious as Sima Zhao, as cruel as Sun Chen, and as domineering as Zhuge Liang.As a time traveler, Guan Yi's figure is very soft.In his opinion, if giving the emperor enough respect in terms of face can make the emperor feel more comfortable, he will definitely be willing to give Liu Chan face on various occasions.

The Northern Expedition in Zhuge Liang's era has always been done by handing over a form.Later, Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition followed suit.Like today, before the Northern Expedition, a thorough strategic analysis was done in front of the emperor.Boss Liu has been the emperor for more than 40 years, and this is also the first time.

Pointing to the giant topographical map in the center of the hall, Guan Yi continued to explain: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I have negotiated with the General and General Zuo Cheqi many times. In this Northern Expedition, I, the Great Han, marched in three ways."

"The first route, starting from Hanzhong County, taking Baoxie Road, going up to Wuzhangyuan, heading towards Mei County! This route, the minister personally leads the army, with a strength of [-]."

"Hiss~~~ Da Sima, is this the route of the Prime Minister's fifth Northern Expedition? At that time, the Prime Minister returned without success. Why don't you try Wei Wenchang's Ziwu Valley plot?"

"Hehehe, please let me know." Guan Yi smiled and cupped his hands to Liu Chen: "Your Majesty, my lord. Wei Wenchang's Ziwu Valley plot back then was to raid Chang'an and take it down. I hope the enemy will not find me The army’s surprise attack will not send troops to block the north entrance of Ziwu Valley in advance. Second, we must hope that the guards of Chang’an will flee timidly. During the first Northern Expedition, although the possibility was not high, there was still a certain possibility. Now, I am facing the veteran general Sima Wang. The above three things cannot be realized. Therefore, it is unreliable to attack Meridian Valley The main purpose of this army of the minister is to restrain it. The 4 men must firmly restrain the [-] Guanzhong Army of Sima Wang of the Jin State. They are not allowed to reinforce Hu Fen and others westward."

"Prince, don't worry, listen to Da Sima."

"Here, Royal Father."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Well, this second route starts from the Qishan camp, travels from Taoyang to Longxi, waits for the opportunity to find the Longxi Legion of the Jin State, and wins the decisive battle. Then take down the five counties of Longxi! The strength of this route is 5 people, led by the general himself."

"The third route also started from the Qishan camp at the beginning. After our army took Guangwei County, we immediately divided our troops and went northward, going straight to Jieting! The strength of this route is [-], and the left chariot rides the general (Zhang Yi) ) to lead the troops."

Basically, the strategy of this Northern Expedition is a replica of Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition.

"Well, although I don't understand the military strategy, I also know that this is the strategy of the prime minister's Northern Expedition in the past. Then, Da Sima, the so-called soldiers and horses go before the food and grass are used. Is the food and salary ready?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. For this Northern Expedition, I have prepared 1000 million shi of grain, 30 billion coins, [-] war horses, [-] civilian husbands, and [-] donkeys and mules. These supplies are more than five times what the Prime Minister used for the Northern Expedition in the past. And now that the ziplines between the mountains on the northern line of the country have been erected, the loss of food and fodder should be reduced a lot."

"Shan, so be it. I only hope that the Northern Expedition will be a success in one fell swoop. I have been in Chengdu for a long time. It is time to go to Chang'an to visit Changling's tomb."

"The ministers will definitely do their best to live up to His Majesty's high expectations!"

……

With Liu Chan, it was over, but the real work had just begun.

"Everyone, this is the general strategy of the Northern Expedition. It is detailed like this."

In the Da Sima Mansion in Chengdu, Guan Yi sat on the main seat and talked freely.At the bottom, there are Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi, Liao Hua, Zong Yu, Guan Suo and other old people, and Luo Xian, Huo Yi and other leaders who are independent from the Fuxing Society.Mi Zhao, Zhang Zun, Zhao Yi, Jian Jian, Sun Gang, Chen Shou, Li Mi, Ma Guo, Ma Jie, Chen Can, Huo Zai, Ju Ning, Meng Yan, Wu Qiao, Lai Qing, She Diao, Que Zheng, Lu Ya, Chang Ji, Du Zhen, Li Xiang, Zhuge Jing, Mao Jiong, Yang Ji, He Pan, Wen Li, Zhang Wei, Jiang Bin, Xiang Chong, Luo Xi, Jiang Su and other shareholders of the Fuxing Society gathered together.As well as Qianhong, Tian Xu, Huangfukai, Wang Mai and other former Cao Wei generals.

Finally, there is a little bit of a feeling of talent at its peak.

"Let's talk about the first route first. I will personally lead the troops. The force is 1. Its main components are 5000 spearmen, 1 crossbowmen, 1 cavalry, 5000 tiger infantry, and [-] mandarin duck formations." As for the civilian workers, since this route is the shortest, only [-] civilian workers should be enough to carry food and grass. For this route, Lingxing, Guowei, Boding, Fangbo (Huo Zai), Zhongquan (Jiang Bin), Zhong Yuan (Qian Hong), Zi Lian (Tian Xu), Meng Dao (Huangfu Kai), Zi Zhao (Wang Mai), Zi Cheng (Luo Xi), etc., will come with me."

"I will follow the orders of the Great Sima!"

"Well, the goal of this road is to divert. Sima Wang must be firmly nailed to Chang'an. But we must also pay close attention to the movement of the battlefield in Longxi. When necessary, we will divide into two groups and raid Tongguan and Qingni narrow!"

As we all know, Tongguan is the east gate of Guanzhong. If it is taken here, the passage from the Central Plains to Guanzhong will be closed.As for Qingni Pass, it is actually Gao Pass.It is the pass connecting the Guanzhong area to Jingzhou Nanyang.After this is closed, the Jin State Jingzhou Corps will not be able to enter Guanzhong.

The so-called war once started, the biggest issue is how to end it.With the current national power of the Shu Han, it is possible to swallow Yongliang in one go, but it definitely does not have the strength to wipe out the Jin State in one wave.Therefore, Guan Yi, Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi and other old people discussed repeatedly and set two goals for this war.

The lowest goal: take Longxi, cut off the connection between Jin State Liangzhou, the Western Regions and the mainland.Swallow here afterwards.In a short period of time, Shu Han and Jin will use Longshan and Qinling as their borders.

The highest goal: If the battle goes well, the Jiang Wei Corps and Zhang Yi Corps will soon take Longxi, then the whole army will gather in Guanzhong and take Yongzhou.

But that's all there is to it.With the current national power of the Shu Han, if they want to enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, they are courting death.

"Next, let's talk about the journey of the general. In addition to the generals under the command of the former general, Zhongying, Zihui, Xuan Gao (Wu Qiao), Dianbo (Laiqing), and Boyu (Chen Can) also set off together! This journey , is 5 people. The composition of these 5 people is [-] cavalry, [-] tiger infantry, [-] chariot soldiers, [-] salt engineering spearmen, and [-] crossbowmen. This road has the longest battle line, and the cavalry The most, so the Da Sima Mansion plans to allocate [-] civilians to carry grain and grass for them."

"Thank you Da Sima for your hospitality!"

"General, please sit down. We are doing business for the country, and there is no need to treat favorably. Next, there will be 3 people on the left car riding the general. My third uncle, Meng Ming (Mao Jiong), and Ning Guo (Yang Ji) will also go with them. This way, there are [-] Wudang flying troops, [-] crossbowmen, [-] tiger infantry, and [-] assault generals. General chariots and cavalry, these are all the assault generals of my big man, and I will leave them all to you this time. .”

"Thank you, Great Sima, for your trust, and thank you, General, for letting go. Please rest assured, the two superiors, as long as Zhang Yi can take down the Jieting, he will be able to defend the Jieting. No matter how much time the General spends to wipe out the five counties in Longxi, Zhang Yi can hold on for as long! "

"Hehehe, how dare you overwork Bogong. Don't worry, Bogong. Although Hu Fen is considered a good general, judging from his past battles, he is far behind Deng Shizai. Jiang Wei is confident that he will be defeated quickly!"

"Hehehe, Bo Gong." At this time, Zong Yu stood up and spoke: "Da Sima has sold salt mines to Liangzhou aristocratic families for so many years, sold high-quality wine for so many years, and Zitong County began to sell various special products of Fuxingshe After that, the aristocratic families in Liangzhou and Longxi have long been closely connected with us. As long as Boyue can win against Hu Fen in the field battle, the five counties in Longxi will soon turn against each other. There is a situation where the enemy is occupying the city and resisting. Therefore, you will not defend for long."

"Hahaha~~~ That's why this old man admires Da Sima! The decisive battle has not yet begun, and our army has already won more than half of it!"

Yes, Guan Yi started targeting the Guanzhong region after the Great War in the first year of Yanxing. By this time, it should have gained something.

The so-called aristocratic families are just a group of fools without integrity.Now, many aristocratic families in Yongliang have close economic ties with Shuhan, and many aristocratic families still have industries (salt mines) in Shuhan.It would be fine if the Shu Han did not have the Northern Expedition.Once the Northern Expedition, and defeated the main force of the Jin State in the field... Humph... Guan Da Sima has painstakingly planned for many years, so that Jin's tortoise style of warfare cannot be frequently sacrificed at least in Longxi: Mr. Hu Fen, your lord Can hide in the city.I, a big man, went to various manors outside the city to form friendships with Yongliang's aristocratic families.

Just when everyone was very happy, a figure stood up with difficulty: "Da Sima, Ma Guo has the audacity to beg to go north with the left chariot general."

"Hey, I finally opened my mouth."

Seeing Ma Guo's extremely uncomfortable expression, Guan Yi also let out a long sigh.

As the son of Ma Su, Ma Guo certainly has a plot in Jieting.In this Northern Expedition, since Guan Yi had arranged a strong army all the way to snatch and hold on to the street pavilion in advance.So why would Ma Guo not want to go?
But, you are gone, who will watch the house for me?During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, people like Xiang Chong, Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, and Dong Yun regarded Liu Chan seriously.You are gone, who am I looking for?

Ma Guo is not ignorant of his own importance, but this obsession still made him speak.

Forget it, this kind of thing still needs to be considerate of the mood of the subordinates.Also, take this opportunity to arrange things at home.Don't look at Liu Chan, the emperor's benevolent brows and sympathetic eyes, what kind of pettiness is playing in his heart, I won't take chances.

"Uh, third uncle..."

"Okay, okay, I know what you mean. In this way, I will change with Gaizhi. I am at home, and Gaizhi will go to Jieting."

"Uh, thank you, Third Uncle." (Thank you Zhong Lingjun)
"Well, everyone, for this Northern Expedition, the General and I, General Zuo Cheqi, mean to send troops after the autumn harvest this year. Before that, Boyao, Ling Xian, etc. have to prepare food, armor, horses, civilian husbands and many other matters in advance. Get ready. As for Zhong Le, they will mobilize all Si Wen Cao to try their best to cover up the intelligence of Jin Zou Cao."

After Guan Yi said this, Mi Zhao, Quezheng and others were able to say it.On the other hand, Lu Ya smiled wryly: "Big Sima, the business roads between our big man and Jin and Soochow are very frequent now. It's really difficult to cover up the information. The subordinates dare not say anything, they can only try their best to Do."

Hey, this is also impossible.In order to connect the aristocratic families of the Jin and Wu countries, the personnel exchanges between the three countries have become countless times denser than before.This is the so-called gain and loss.

"Well, I understand what Zhong Le said. Do your best, don't try to completely cover up the information, at least conceal the specific date of our army's dispatch. Well, maybe you can think of a way to mislead the other party. of."

"Subordinates take orders."

"Next, we will announce the personnel adjustment."

Locally, He Pan took over as the prefect of Hanzhong, Wen Li took over as the prefect of Brazil, Zhang Wei took over as the prefect of Fuling, and She Diao took over as the prefect of Zitong.

On the central side, after going to Soochow as an envoy, Jian went to Da Sima Mansion to serve as the governor of the residence.Guan Suo continued to serve as the leader of the Central Committee.The rest of the staff members of the Da Sima Mansion will continue to hold their jobs.

After finishing these things, Guan Yi clapped his hands: "Everyone, except for Kong Shuo and Zheng Xing who are still in Nanzhong, it is rare for everyone to gather together. So let's do a big event together!"

"Dare to ask Da Sima?"

"Hehehe, the only son of the general is also 17 years old this year. According to the request of the general this time, the general will also take him to participate in the Northern Expedition. Therefore, today I will give him the crowning ceremony in advance. The general has already agreed Alright, Su'er is crowned, and I'm the host. Then, today, you are all guests of the ceremony!"

"Ah? Ouch, General, what a joy!"

"The congratulations are true, but Da Sima came too suddenly, I didn't even prepare a congratulatory gift."

"Hehehe, Jiang Wei doesn't care about these things. It's fine as long as everyone comes to watch the ceremony."

Soon, the venue was quickly remodeled.Under Jiang Wei's benevolent gaze, Jiang Su curled up her hair and knelt in front of Guan Yi.

"On the auspicious day of the Lingyue, I will start to add Yuanfu, abandon my young ambitions, follow Er Chengde, Shoukao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu."

In the prayers for the crown ceremony in accordance with the "Zhou Li", Guan Yi added Jiang Su's Zibu Guan, Pi Bian and Jue Bian in turn.

"Etiquette is complete, the moon is auspicious, and the word is announced. The word is pure, and the fashion is suitable. It is beneficial to the false, and it will be protected forever. The element is colorless. The element is pure. The preferred word is' Zichun'. Pure and flawless."

"Thank you Da Sima for giving me the words, Jiang Su would like to accept it."

"Well, Zichun. I am here to enlist you to serve as the military equipment of the Da Sima Mansion. Follow me to participate in this year's Northern Expedition. May you show your heroism on the battlefield and let the enemies of Jin see the only son of the first general of the Han Dynasty." style!"
