Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

[In the letter, the prime minister asked Sun Quan to take the initiative in the Northern Expedition to attract Cao Wei's attention, and Sun Quan readily agreed.

In fact, this move is of little use.

First of all, who is the reason for Cao Wei's own Yongliang will not remove his armor, and the Central Plains will not release his saddle?

It's definitely not because of Sun Quan anyway.

Secondly, Sun Quan went to Hefei this time...

While the process is slightly different, the results are always strikingly similar.

Sun Quan attacked Hefei but failed. Cao Rui led an army to help, but Sun Quan was frightened and left.

Then nothing happened on the Eastern Front. Sun Quan happily clocked out of get off work and went home to watch a movie. 】

A dog entered...

Zhang Fei only had these three words to say.

Liu Bei didn't bother to care about his third brother, and just kept shaking his head.

…

Chang'an Ganlu Hall.

Li Shimin was well versed in the art of war, and had seen all the battles described by Guangmu, but he also enjoyed it when reading it with the maps and explanations of later generations.

Chengqian is ten years old...

The content on the light screen also affected him. Now that he thinks about it, this son seems to have little care.

Otherwise, I'll have dinner with my son tonight and take a test on my homework.

Li Shimin made up his mind. In addition, did he have to write out the Emperor Model in advance?

Moreover, based on the time of the light curtain, Chengqian was exactly thirty years old when he died.

Do you think that this century-old prosperity also has a share of the credit?

His heart became softer and softer, and Li Shimin turned to ask about another thing:

How many times did Sun Quan attack Hefei?

five times. Changsun Wuji responded quickly.

Can't you win?

Three failures, one initiative to withdraw, and one major defeat.

Li Shimin shook his head and said nothing.

It felt like Sun Quan had earned it if he said one more word.

[In February 234 AD, the prime minister led an army of 100,000 people and marched out of Baoxie Road.

In preparation for the Northern Expedition, the plank road burned by Zhao Yun was rebuilt.

And for logistical reasons, specially made floating horses suitable for water transportation.

We said before when the Second Expedition came out of Chencang that the Prime Minister could not really attack at that time, because when Chencang came out, he would face the Guanzhong Plain and there was no danger to defend.

But that was based on the fact that the Second Expedition was a partial division. Now that they are going all out, the strategy is naturally different.

If there are few soldiers, the enemy will be in danger and the plan will be slowed down; if there are many soldiers, it will be decided in one battle.

It was precisely because the prime minister found that it was too difficult to attack the fortress that he changed his mind. He lured the enemy in the plains and annihilated the main force, so that Longyou would be leveled.

The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records that there was a reserve team in Qishan during this Northern Expedition, which should have been used to clean up the enemy in the plan.

In April, Wei Yan led the vanguard army out of Xiegu and led the main force of the Han army to station in Wuzhangyuan of Yi County.

Wu Zhang Yuan’s choice is very simple and clear:

The high terrain means that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even in World War II, it was very difficult to attack from above.

Being adjacent to the Wei River in the north means that the water source is sufficient and there is no fear of being exhausted, and the Wei River can also block enemies to the north.

At this time, Sima Yi was afraid that the Zhuge phenomenon had begun to spread from person to person, and no one would talk about fighting with the prime minister anymore.

As for how Wei Jun should respond, Sima Yi thought very clearly.

First of all, they cannot be stationed north of the Wei River, because Zhuge Villager is very good at winning people's hearts. If the people of Xi County to the east of Wuzhangyuan follow Zhuge Villager and run away, they will be in big trouble.

Secondly, Sima Yi also wanted stability in his troops. If he was stationed north of the Wei River, although the probability was very small, it would be great for Zhuge Village to attack Yi County and secretly steal Chang'an.

So in the end Sima Yi decided that the east of Wuzhangyuan is Wugong Water, and we will camp next to Wugong Water.

The generals of Wei said: I wish you the best.

Only Guo Huai's suggestion was adopted: Guo Huai was afraid that the prime minister would seize the Long Road, so he thought that he should occupy Beiyuan first, which was accepted by Sima Yi.

Wuzhangyuan crosses the Wei River and the river valley to the north, and there is a small highland. This is Beiyuan, and it is another commanding height.

The prime minister chose to go in the opposite direction and attack Xi County in the east to cover up others' deception. Wei Yan led his troops to strengthen the Wei River and attack Guo Huai.

Unfortunately, Guo Huai had been fighting with the Prime Minister for too long and was not deceived. He defended Beiyuan and Wei Yan could not defeat it.

Han and Wei faced each other across the Wugong River. Sima Yi was curious about what this great enemy was like after not seeing each other for three years.

The scout brought back his first impression:

Riding on a plain carriage and holding a feather fan, he commanded the three armies to advance and retreat in a controlled manner. 】

The final battle! The generals held their breath and concentrated.

What if Sima Yi defends Beiyuan and attacks Chang'an directly?

Perhaps because he had heard about his Ziwu Valley plot in history, Wei Yan was quite interested in Chang'an.

Difficult! Guan Yu denied.

There is no danger to defend Chang'an, and there is still a natural danger at Tongguan to capture Chang'an. If Sima Yi ignores it, he will cut off his food supply.

In this way, we will become a lone army, which will be of no benefit to the war situation.

Huang Zhong also raised questions:

Then after leaving Baoxie Road, why didn't you take advantage of Sima Yi's arrival and attack Yi County directly?

That's inappropriate. The smile on Zhang Fei's face has completely disappeared:

From the light screen, there is no danger to defend from Xiegu to Yi County. Sima Yi could invade the grain road wantonly, but he would put himself in danger.

Moreover. Zhang Fei added:

Qishan should only be a partial division of new troops. It is difficult to attack the city of Qi'an, so it is impossible to go out of Xiegu and cut off the Long Road.

Liu Bei didn't like this atmosphere, or this situation reminded him of the Battle of Yiling.

When large armies are in a stalemate, this is what happens most of the time. They struggle to survive, compete with each other's logistics, and look for opportunities to cut off the other side's food routes.

After looking at the map again, I saw that the Han army's grain road led directly from Xiegu to Wuzhangyuan. It was protected by valleys and rivers and was easy to defend.

And what about Sima Yi's? Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh and became more stable.

Sima Yi is to the east of Wuzhangyuan, and the grain road is behind his butt.

Liu Bei was a little irritable. This kind of stalemate was often a competition of patience and luck.

And Liu Bei himself felt that Ji Han had spent all his luck in getting the sleeping dragon and phoenix chick.

This was the case in Yiling, and it was also the case in several Northern Expeditions.

Pang Tong watched Kong Ming purse his lips tightly and said with a smile:

Kong Ming, where is your four-wheeler?

Kong Ming shook his head and just said:

It's a pity that Wuzhang originally had no scholar Yuan Xiang to help him.

Pang Tong stopped talking, but he understood in his heart:

Kong Ming is really short of people, too short.

As long as there are a few more reliable people, if the street pavilion is not lost, it may not reach this point.

Jian Yong also sighed:

Guo Huai is a man who ruined the plan of the Northern Expedition.

Not just Guo Huai?

Liu Bei suddenly thought of the Longxi governor who traveled to Chu during the first Northern Expedition.

A prefect on the border has such insight. There are so many talented people in the north.

[The Prime Minister is well prepared for this protracted war.

Choosing to use his talent as a villager again, he started farming directly in Wuzhangyuan.

And having said that, Wuzhangyuan itself is a valley terrain, with Weishui River in the north and Wugong River in the east. It is indeed fertile farmland.

And Sima Yi is lying in the camp without moving. If you, a villager from Zhuge, know how to farm again, will you be able to farm across the Qianli Plain in Guanzhong?

And after a few months, Sima Yi received the news that Sun Quan had withdrawn his troops, and he didn't panic anymore.

Outside the military camp, the Han army was provoking and shouting, but inside the military camp, Sima Yi was at ease.

Then soon his subordinates sent a gorgeous women's dress, a gift from Zhuge Liang.

This move made Sima Yi furious and asked Cao Rui for a fight, but Cao Rui refused.

Not only was Cao Rui not allowed to do so, he also sent Wei Wei Xinpi Chijie as his military advisor to ensure that his will would be carried out.

So this provocation has no effect, and the two parties will continue to be in a stalemate.

However, Sima Yi was quite confident. He wrote in a letter to his brother: If you fall into my trap, you will break it. 】

I always feel... something is wrong. Zhang Fei always felt that something was wrong.

Of course there is a problem. Pang Tong said calmly:

Sima Yi is definitely not angry, he just wants to maintain his dignity, so he goes to court.

If he is really angry, he will definitely raise troops. Cao Rui will send him to supervise the military affairs in Guanzhong. Why should he ask for instructions on everything?

And... Pang Tong paused, gritted his teeth and said:

Then Sun Quan was frightened away by Cao Rui's troops, and then Cao Rui probably sent troops together with Sima Yi!

How many months has it been? Cao Rui has already returned and can give orders to Sima Yi to send ministers. So Sun Quan is really useless at all?

Liu Bei sighed:

He repeatedly faced dangers and only focused on profit. Later generations' evaluation of Sun Hou was indeed correct.

Guan Yu also sighed, but it was because of this method in the light screen:

Such a fierce strategy to seek battle only reveals cowardice.

Guan Yu could not understand more clearly that the core of the art of war is to strive for what later generations would call the initiative.

Sima Yi may not have understood it before, but after receiving this woman's clothes, he must have understood the Han army's eagerness to fight.

But it was Sima Yi who had the final say whether to fight or not. It was clear at a glance who was active and who was passive.

[Sima Yi inquired about the basic situation from the Prime Minister’s envoy:

If the punishment is more than twenty, everyone will see it in person; the food will not exceed a few liters.

Sima Yi understood it as soon as he heard it, and uttered the sigh: How can it last long with little food and many things?

Anyone with more than 20 military sticks in the military camp must be inspected personally. This inspection is definitely not just a matter of reading.

It is actually quite tiring to read the self-report first, then read other people's accounts, then read the laws and regulations, and then make the judgment.

Since the Prime Minister came to govern Shu, he has worked hard day and night and done everything personally.

He has to worry about making money for the people, the salt that the people eat, water conservancy in Sichuan, tools, iron tools, and ordnance.

He understood Liu Chan and wrote many more letters to Liu Chan than letters home.

He had high expectations for Liu Chan, and personally copied Liu Chan's Six Tao and other books that he needed to learn, and became a model for governing the country.

He understood Jiang Wei. After Jiang Wei surrendered, he wrote to Jiang Wan, thinking that he was a sergeant in Liangzhou, especially better than Ma Liang, and needed to be reused.

He knew very well that there was a shortage of talents in Jihan. As long as he was talented and famous, he would treat him as a corporal, and he would keep in mind all those who could do something.

Everyone in Shu was held in the heart of the Prime Minister, except himself.

The two sides stayed together until August, when the prime minister's condition further deteriorated and he became bedridden, which was a very dangerous signal in ancient times.

Liu Chan sent Li Fu to Wuzhangyuan to visit his father-in-law.

Facing Li Fu, the Prime Minister spoke openly about his life and death issues and said:

I don't have long to live, and after I die, I will rely on Jiang Wan.

Li Fu asked: What about after Jiang Wan? The prime minister said to Fei Yi.

Li Fu was still dissatisfied and asked what happened after Fei Yi? The Prime Minister did not speak, but glanced in the direction of Chengdu.

Your Majesty, I have done my best in the past eleven years. From now on, I need you to govern Ji Han!

Not long after Li Fu left, it was night:

The long star is red and has horns, flowing from the northeast to the southwest, casting bright camp, and then returning three times, becoming larger and smaller.

Things went wrong in Xiegu, and Jiang Xing died in the camp.

The fire of Yanhan, the stars fell on Wuzhangyuan. 】

I finally wrote it here, and today is also the last busy day. I sigh with emotion and will try to update more tomorrow!
