Chapter 269 ?? Prime Minister Zhuge through the ages
The so-called Jieting is not a city, but a place name. This is the end of Longshan Road, and in front is the open plain area, which is the county of Longyou.
This is a gap. If the soldiers in Guanzhong cannot enter the Longyou counties.
In history, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan, and the world was shaken. Most of the county magistrates of Longyou surrendered. He led his main force to station troops outside Shangqiu City and sent Ma Su to camp Jieting, with his only purpose to block the enemy.
As long as the reinforcements from Guanzhong were blocked outside Liangzhou, Zhuge Liang could seize the Longyou counties and open up Liangzhou. The food and grass transported from Bashu could also take the smooth road of Qishan and provide continuous support.
This is what Zhuge Liang called "the ten-perfect plan must be defeated". A strategy is a good strategy, but it's a pity that Ma Su was a little incompetent.
So, there is no 100% sure.
The terrain of Jieting is surrounded by mountains in the north and south, but there is only a road that is only a few miles wide in the middle. As long as 50,000 soldiers camp here, they can block this road.
And Yang Fu's purpose is the same, to stop Zhang Xiu from coming in.
On the morning of that day, Yang Fu, Ma Chao and Ma Dai led 30,000 horse and infantry troops to Jieting. Yang Fu did not rush to set up camp, but instead rode dozens of horses and horses to watch the terrain with Ma Chao and Ma Dai.
"The eldest son thought, how should we set up camp?" Yang Fu knew what to do after watching the terrain. He smiled and pinched his beard and turned his head to ask Ma Chao.
Although Ma Chao was not good at studying, he was born with a war. After hearing this, he thought for a while and made a quick decision: "You should set up camps, but the Nanshan Mountain seems to be good, which is conducive to the attack."
Ma Chao pointed to the terrain of Nanshan and said.
Yang Fu looked up and saw that the mountain was neither high nor short, and the mountain was flat. He nodded and said, "The mountain is indeed good, it is condescending, but...it depends on the situation."
"Sir, please give me advice." Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, and asked with his back. Ma Dai next to him also patted his horse's head lightly and raised his ears.
"Depending on how many troops we have. If we have fewer troops, we should guard the road and flatten the ground. We will set up camps on the flat ground. If the enemy goes from both sides, we can cut them off. If the enemy attacks our camp, we can stick to it. This is a perfect solution."
"If we have few soldiers but set up camps in Nanshan and there are many enemy soldiers, we can surround the mountains and cut off our water source. That's all."
Ma Chao pondered for a long time after hearing this, his eyes lit up: "If we have many soldiers, can we set up camps on the road and divide our troops to defend Nanshan? If the enemy attacks our camp, the side troops on Nanshan can attack them from a high place?"
Yang Fu looked at Ma Chao with appreciation, nodded and said, "The eldest son is right. Even if you can have both fish and bear's paws, you can have both stable and reckless one time. The key is that we must have more soldiers."
"Look at how many reinforcements Han Sui sent to us. We are now in charge of camps and camps. If Han Sui has many reinforcements, he can divide 10,000 troops to set up camps and camps on the Nanshan Mountain."
"I understand." Ma Dai next to him opened his head and blurted out.
"Hahahaha." Yang Fu and Ma Chao looked at each other and laughed loudly. Then, everyone rode their horses back together.
Yang Fu began to order infantry and cavalry to set up camps on the road to block the main road. After another seven or eight days, there was news that Zhang Xiu had arrived at Xiaoguan.
And on that morning, Han Sui's reinforcements also arrived.
The sun was shining and the northwest wind was strong, blowing countless dust and sand, which made the eyes blurred. Yang Fu led Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others to go out to welcome reinforcements.
I saw flags and horses in front of me. At a glance, there were 30,000 to 40,000.
Yang Fu and Ma Chao were all happy. Soon after, dozens of cavalry sped out of the group of people, leading the general at a young age, in his early twenties. He was extremely handsome and mighty, holding a large spear.
"I am the General Yan Xing, but Mr. Yang?" Yan Xinghu looked closely, turned over and dismounted, bowed to Yang Fu and said.
"It was Yang Fu. General Yan worked hard all the way, so he could go to the big tent to have a banquet first." Yang Fu was shocked and said with joy.
Yan Xing, this person is not an ordinary person. He is a newly recruited general by Han Sui. It is rumored that he has the courage to be inappropriate.
To be honest, Ma Teng and Han Sui had an advantage in their military strength and their army was also strong, but when they fought with Zhang Xiu, they were always defeated.
It means there is a lack of generals in the army.
Only then did Yang Fu persuade Ma Teng and bring Ma Chao. Now, with Yan Xing, he is as stable as Mount Tai.
"The banquet can be postponed. Let's talk about the arrangement of troops first." Yan Xing was decisive and waved his hand and said.
"Okay. Please, General." Yang Fu's eyes flashed with a flash of light, and he bent down to invite him. Then, everyone entered the tent together.
Ma Chao sat in the main seat, and Yang Fu and everyone sat side by side.
Yan Xing sat with a big horse with a golden sword. After some discussion, he said bluntly: "I saw that the sir set up a formation and there was a place above the avenue, but stayed for me to set up camp?"
"That's right." Yang Fu nodded and said.
"Jieting, the road to set up camps, it's safe. But I suggest that you can divide tens of thousands of troops to Nanshan. If Zhang Xiu attacks our camp, you can attack Zhang Xiu from a high position."
Yan Xing's tiger's eyes flashed with a flash of light, and the ape's arms pointed to the south, and he was full of energy.
Yang Fu and Ma Chao looked at each other. Yang Fu looked at Yan Xing deeply and said, "Okay, let's set up the formation as General Yan said."
He felt in his heart that Yan Xing was not only brave enough to be a man of thousands of men, but also had both wisdom and courage. He was such a terrible general who needed to be cared for.
Although Ma Teng and Han Sui are like brothers now, they belong to two forces after all. You need to pay attention to the other general.
After some decision, Yan Xing led 20,000 troops to occupy the open space next to Ma Chao's camp, form a coalition force, block the Jieting road, and divide 10,000 troops to set up camp in Nanshan, with many flags and a brilliant number of people.
Although they can attack and retreat, the key is to defend.
No one wanted to fight with Zhang Xiu in a field, and even defeated Zhang Xiu at Jieting, and then took advantage of the situation to sweep Xiaoguan and attack Sanfu.
No one.
Is General Zhang Xiu so easy to defeat?
Now everyone’s idea is to save one acre of three-point land in Liangzhou.
After Yang Fu, Ma Chao, Yan Xing and others set up camp, it took another three days. Zhang Xiu came late.
Jieting is a place name, and this avenue is shared by both sides. The coalition forces set up camp on the west side, and Zhang Xiu of course set up camp on the east side. Zhang Xiu had no trouble and honestly set up camp on the road.
He has few soldiers, only 20,000 people.
Zhang Xiu ordered all the generals to set up camp, and he rode out together with Dian Wei and his advisers to watch the terrain of the Jieting.
When Zhang Xiu saw the terrain of this area, he felt particularly moved. It was because Zhuge Liang made a northern expedition and stopped at Jieting. Liu Bei's hegemony was finally destroyed. It was a pity.
Then Zhang Xiu noticed that there were many flags on the Nanshan Mountain and the crowds of people. He saw that the camp ahead was vast and extremely strong. He felt that there was another sigh.
A glimpse of the leopard in the tube.
It is easy to do things if there are many people. People watch history and argue endlessly. Is it Sima Yiqiang, Zhuge Liangqiang, Deng Aiqiang, or Jiang Weiqiang?
Zhang Xiu believed that Zhuge Liang and Jiang Weiqiang.
Zhuge Liang was in a neat war in the north, with a small number of people. Sima Yi had a great army and a large number of people, but he did not dare to fight Zhuge Liang.
Jiang Wei had a small number of troops in the Northern Expedition, but Deng Ai sent troops to fight Jiang Wei, but both sides used military tactics and drew a draw, and Deng Ai only gained a little advantage.
If Jiang Wei was asked to general Wei soldiers and Deng Ai was asked to general Shu soldiers, Deng Ai would probably be worse than Jiang Wei.
In the so-called war, unless a strange plan is made, whoever has a deep national strength will have the upper hand. Shu Han is weak, even if Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei are there, they will still be defeated.
"Ming Gong. Yang Fu is a good soldier. He relied on many troops to set up camps on the Nanshan Mountain. If we attack their camp, the people on the mountain would be high and attack us." The adviser Tian Feng pointed to the flags on Guinan Mountain and said solemnly to Zhang Xiu.
"Mr. Tian said very much." Zhang Xiu nodded, then smiled and said, "But they mobilized many troops, but they didn't know that I was just a small trial this time. I didn't plan to attack them."
"Ming Gong said very much. As long as they block their reinforcements, they will win. Anding County is within their reach." Li Li, the adviser, nodded and said.
After watching the terrain, Zhang Xiu planned to go back to the camp to rest. Although he did not plan to attack, he also needed to defend it firmly.
If the Grand Sima Zhang Gong capsizes the boat at this street pavilion, it will make people laugh at the world.
At this moment, the gate of the coalition camp in front opened wide, and then amid the horns, hundreds of cavalry rushed out, and a general shouted with a spear: "I am Yan Xing, a native of Jincheng. I have heard that the Grand Sima Zhang Gong has made great force and is the best in the world. I come and ask for advice."
Dian Wei was furious and clasped his fists at Zhang Xiu and said, "Ming Gong, I'll go and meet this guy."
Zhang Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Yan Xing?" According to historical records, during a raid, Yan Xing fought with Ma Chao and almost killed Ma Chao.
Watching his momentum today, he is indeed powerful.
Moreover, Yan Xing was a filial son. According to the Han Dynasty, if he was a filial son, he would probably be a loyal minister.
On the other hand, Ma Chao is a cheater.
In history, Ma Teng surrendered to the court and led hundreds of clans to live in the Central Plains, leaving behind Ma Chao's commanders. Cao Cao appointed Ma Chao as a partial general.
In the Battle of Weishui, Ma Chao ignored the fact that his whole family was hostage to Cao Cao, and joined forces with Han Sui to rebel against the court, resulting in the murder of Ma Teng's family.
Because of this incident, Ma Chao was scolded for being so bloody at that time. So Yang Fu and others all planned to Ma Chao. There was almost no place for Ma Chao to gain a foothold in Liangzhou. In the end, Ma Chao fled to Hanzhong in a hurry.
Even Liu Bei only gave Ma Chao high official position and generous salary, and did not use Ma Chao more.
Zhang Xiu actually didn't like Ma Chao and Lu Bu very much, but he also understood Ma Chao and Lu Bu. These two people grew up between the Qiang and Hu, and were barbarians.
Where is loyalty and filial etiquette? Only strength and weakness.
