Chapter 1014 What is collective power?
Compared with the southern and central parts of Guanzhong, where the population and cities were traditionally denser, the cities in the northern part of Guanzhong were much sparser.
Suyi is not only a large county on the edge of Luoshui River, but also located in the northern part of Guanzhong, which further highlights its importance.
As a rare county seat in northern Guanzhong, it is also a natural gathering point for the army.
If Guan Ji really wanted to lead the army from Xia Yang and advance westward, Suyi would be one of her destinations.
If she marches south, she must also pay attention to whether the enemy will come from Suyi and threaten her flanks and rear.
So although Suyi is not close to Xia Yang, it is one of the locations that Guan Ji must focus on.
Guo Huai withdrew from Qiaoshan and only rested for one day in Suyi. One day later, Guan Ji already knew this important information.
Guo Huai retreated in a hurry, unaware that he had been exposed by Han spies and the secret chess lurking in Guanzhong in the early years.
Having continued to penetrate Guanzhong for more than ten years, it must be an exaggeration to say that Guanzhong is like a sieve to the Han Dynasty.
After all, Sima Yi has been strengthening his control over Guanzhong in recent years.
But before Sima Yi came, various transactions in Guanzhong had been booming, and many chess pieces were buried at that time.
Except for a very small number of special personnel, they were sent out directly by the Han Dynasty.
The rest are part of the rangers. After all, the name of the leader of the martial arts alliance cannot be sealed.
If you don’t know Feng Langjun in your life, even if you call him a hero, it’s in vain.
They have wide connections and extraordinary skills, and their identity is the best cover for gathering intelligence.
The other part of the dark chess players are local indigenous people, ranging from powerful to powerful.
After all, the big man has a lot of money and is very happy to spend money. He doesn't need to do anything special on weekdays. If you have something to do, just ask around and live your life as usual.
As long as you are a little braver, you will dare to take this money.
There are also people like Zhao Ma who had a deal with Feng Jishi back then and handed over the remaining connections in Fufeng, the ancestral home of the Ma family.
General Guan was able to discover Guo Huai in Suyi in time because the secret chess piece placed there was activated.
"It's just that the thief came down from Qiaoshan. How could he take this road?"
Guan Ji frowned slightly.
Zhao Guang said impatiently:
"Is it necessary to say this? Of course, we are afraid that we will cut off our retreat, so we are anxious to meet up with the bandits in Pubanjin. General, we can't let him escape!"
Guan Ji glanced at Zhao Guang, held a long whip in her hand, and drew a straight line in the void between Qiaoshan and Chang'an.
"So why didn't he take the Qin Zhidao? Isn't that more convenient and safer? Besides, if he withdraws, can Jiang Boyue go directly to Chang'an along the Qin Zhidao?"
Jiang Boyue has more than 10,000 people in his hands. We really want him to rush to Chang'an City...
Guan Ji narrowed her eyes.
Chang'an City was not only the core of Guanzhong, but also probably the rear area of the Wei thieves. It must have accumulated a large amount of grain, grass and baggage.
According to Alang's deduction in the staff department before the war, the most likely possibility for Sima Yi is to lead a large army to station in Yicheng to stop the prime minister.
Now Sima Yi takes the initiative to let go of Qiaoshan and let Jiang Bowei go straight to the rear?
So the Chief Sima of Wei State has been instigated by Alang to rebel?
“Perhaps Sima Yi has sent people to guard Chang’an in advance, so he asked the thieves on Qiaoshan to support Xian Yufu.”
Zhao Guang explained.
Guan Ji shook the whip vigorously, and veins sprouted slightly on the back of her hand. This guy wanted to fight and make meritorious deeds. He was crazy!
“Since Sima Yi has the ability to send troops to guard Chang’an, why not simply send these troops to support Xian Yufu?”
“If we have to let the thieves on Qiaoshan go to support us, doesn’t that mean we give up on Qiaoshan? Is Sima Yi scared to death?”
“What if Sima Yi’s army is in Chang’an?” Zhao Guang touched his head and continued to think.
Guan Ji finally couldn't hold back her anger and whipped the whip in her hand!
"Sima Yi is in Chang'an, so why don't the Qiaoshan thieves go directly to Chang'an? To support Pubanjin, it is better to defend Wuguan!"
Isn’t Wuguan now much more important to the Wei thieves than Tongguan?
With the ferry lost, the road to Tongguan is no longer safe, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Wuguan is related to the life and death of the Wei army.
Zhao Guang was whipped so hard that he screamed and screamed, but he didn’t dare to hide, so he had to hold his head and shout:
"General, I was wrong. General, I was wrong...please tell me, general..."
Guan Ji slapped him bitterly to relieve her suffocation, and then turned back to look at the sand table.
Just thinking about it for a while, she couldn't come up with any idea.
But seeing General Guan suddenly ordered:
“Give me the staff’s pre-war drills!”
Soon a staff officer delivered a small box.
General Guan used a special key to open the box. What was inside was a stack of documents.
This stack of documents records the various possibilities that the Liangzhou Army Staff Department deduced before the war, as well as the ways to deal with them.
There are not only purely military considerations here, but also supplemented by political considerations by Zhang Xiaosi and others.
It can be said that it is the crystallization of the wisdom of the elites of Liangzhou Governor's Office.
This box is supervised by two or more confidential staff members and is jointly kept.
It can only be opened if General Guan or the character above General Guan is present.
Skipping most of the documents, General Guan took out the last one and flipped through it casually, hoping to see if it could be of some reference to the staff's deductions after the extradition.
Zhao Guang hid in the corner and did not dare to say anything. The only sound left in the handsome tent was the sound of General Guan flipping through documents.
After a while, General Guan threw the documents back into the box, lowered his head and continued to look at the sand table, and suddenly asked:
“Tell me, what would Sima Yi do if he knew that Guanzhong would be lost?”
No one can answer.
Because this issue is related to the gains and losses of the three states, the survival of hundreds of thousands of troops, and even the balance of strategic power between Han and Wei.
Not to mention the other people in the tent, even General Guan himself seemed to be somewhat powerless.
but…
At this time, General Guan was obviously not alone.
Behind her is the entire Liangzhou Governor's Office.
She seemed to have expected that no one could answer this question, so she continued on her own:
“The best strategy is to preserve strength first and plan for later; the middle strategy is to stay in Guanzhong and rely on dangerous areas to wait for changes; the worst strategy is to fight the big Han to the death.”
The current situation is already clear.
Without the ferry crossing Hexi, Sima Yi was destined to be completely unable to defend Guanzhong.
But judging from the current situation, he still seems to have no sign of withdrawing from Guanzhong - otherwise, the Wei thieves on Qiaoshan would not have appeared in Suyi, but would have directly retreated to Chang'an.
The 200,000-strong army will not go to Wuguan, which is not threatened, but to Tongguan, which is always under threat from opponents, unless Wei's Grand Sima is really instigated by Alang.
The so-called saving land and losing people means losing both people and land.
The reason is very simple, but not everyone has the courage to make such a decision, not to mention that Cao Rui, who is behind Sima Yi, may not let him withdraw from Guanzhong in vain.
Therefore, based on this deduction, Sima Yi most likely adopted the middle strategy: find a place that can be defended, wait for changes, and wait for opportunities to reverse the situation of the battle.
Guan Ji’s eyes fell on the sand table, and she waved:
“Erlang, come here.”
Zhao Guang trembled when he heard this:
“General, I didn’t say anything just now!”
These words immediately made General Guan tighten his whip again.
Zhao Erlang, who had been beaten severely since he was a child, tightened his scalp when he saw his sister's expression was wrong. He immediately shut up and stepped forward obediently.
Unexpectedly, General Guan did not hit him, but picked up the small blue flag next to the sand table and said, "Stand on the opposite side."
“Oh, it’s a sandbox deduction. This can be done and this can be done!”
If you can't win the battle, you can use the sand table to deduce it, which can be regarded as a relief.
Zhao Guang immediately went over and stood up happily.
Looking at Guan Ji holding the blue flag representing the main force and planting it in Chang'an, Zhao Guang suddenly shouted:
“Ah... uh, general, didn’t you just say that Sima Yi won’t be in Chang’an?”
"you shut up!"
General Guan shouted.
Zhao Guang kept silent and subconsciously touched his body. Was the whip he received just now in vain?
…
"Sima Yi can't be in Chang'an!" After some deductions, Guan Ji pulled out the small blue flag and completely rejected this idea, "Come again!"
This time, she put the little blue flag in the most likely position, Xicheng.
After a moment, she frowned, with a slightly surprised look on her face:
"How could it be? Is Sima Yi really not there?"
ˆ Guan Ji was a little hesitant about the result of this deduction.
Since he said that Sima Yi blocked the prime minister in Yicheng, he is basically inseparable.
"No, no! The thieves retreated from Qiaoshan, which means that there has been a change in Guanzhong, so Sima Yi is not not there, but may have left there."
“Yes, this is the only explanation that can explain the changes in the Qiaoshan bandits!”
Guan Ji suddenly understood, and she raised the little blue flag again.
This time, she became even more hesitant, and then she inserted it into Qian County, and then immediately shook her head. If it was not in Chang'an, it would be even less likely to be in Qian County.
Because Chang'an is the most critical hub in Guanzhong.
Let Jiang Bo have a chance to rush all the way from Qiaoshan to the foot of Chang'an City along the Qinzhi Road...
In a daze, General Guan doubted for the third time. Could it be that the Chief Sima of the Wei State was really one of his own?
In other words, has Jiang Boyue defeated Qiaoshan?
Guan Ji's thoughts were racing, she stabilized her emotions, and put the little blue flag in the least likely place, and then her expression immediately changed.
Before Zhao Guang could respond, she shouted:
“Come here, let the people from the Dark Night Camp come to see me immediately!”
The guard outside the door responded and immediately ran away.
Guan Ji glanced at the tent with cold eyes:
“You all get back!”
When she was the only one left in the tent, General Guan sat down with a look of fear and joy on his face.
She really believes it now.
My own Alang, he might really be the King of Ghosts.
There are ghosts and gods in the dark to protect you.
Although I don’t know how Sima Yi got rid of the prime minister, or it may be that the Wei thieves mobilized part of their troops from Wanluo and Jingzhou and entered Guanzhong from Wuguan.
Give Sima Yi the opportunity to lay a trap in Hexi, and wait for the Liangzhou army to fall into it.
Of course, it is also possible that Jiang Boyue was defeated, so the thieves on Qiaoshan had no worries.
General Guan believes in the former more than this.
It’s just that Alang and Cheng Tong looked at each other wrongly at the same time.
Leading more than 10,000 rare elite soldiers to guard the dangerous place on Qiaoshan, with Li Qiu assisting him at the same time, he was defeated by the thieves and retreated from Qiaoshan.
How incompetent is this?
General Guan has some malicious suspicions about a certain love rival...a man!
“General!”
The captain of the Dark Night Camp interrupted General Guan's thoughts that were flying freely.
General Guan quickly calmed down and said solemnly:
“How is the contact with Anqi in Guanzhong going?”
The captain said with a troubled face:
“Back to the general, the time we have to cross the river is too short. We have only started to communicate not long ago. Most of the hidden chess players may not have even received news of our crossing the river.”
The reason why we were able to contact Suyi's secret chess in time was because the main force of the thieves was basically in the south of Guanzhong. At the same time, I have to say that I was somewhat lucky.
After all, there is a war in Guanzhong now. It is unknown how many of the secret chess buried in the early years can still be used, and how many can be contacted at this time.
"Then find a way!" General Guan said sternly, "Don't mention any difficulties to me. I must know what the situation is south of Pubanjin now."
No matter how powerful the scouts are, they can't get past the thief's defense line and detect the situation behind the thief. At this time, they can only rely on ambush.
“Ah, General…”
"Don't worry, I will explain this matter to the prince. You can prepare immediately after you go down. Once the prince's order arrives, you can take action immediately."
Hearing this, the captain knew that the general had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree:
“I will obey my orders!”
Although there is one more process, General Guan’s orders, how should I say, are all understood, and there is basically no possibility of them getting stuck with the Lord...
General Guan acted vigorously and resolutely, and had already sent his ideas to Governor Feng that day.
At this time, Governor Feng was having dinner.
The best sauce is poured on the steamed fish, and a burst of white mist rises with a "squeak" sound, bringing with it the aroma of food that makes your fingers twitch.
"Come on, come on, Mr. Han, please come in quickly. Don't be restrained. I will entertain you in private today."
Feng Jishi warmly greeted the chief instructor of the Guards Battalion and the Dark Night Camp, the master of Han Dynasty.
As we all know, Master Han is not only a master, but also a foodie.
Knowing that Governor Feng had caught a lot of river carp today, he had already stayed outside the tent under the pretext of being a guard.
Hearing Governor Feng’s greeting at this time, he immediately came in with a smile on his face and said falsely politely:
“You are so polite, you are so kind to me...”
He was polite, but he sat down unceremoniously.
While the two of them were feasting, General Guan's urgent report arrived.
Governor Feng held chopsticks in one hand and opened the emergency report with the other. After reading the contents above, he was stunned on the spot.
Han Long below lowered his head, only picking fish meat into his mouth, and seemed not to notice Feng Jishishi's expression.
Han Long is not on the official list of officials in the governor's office. He is more like a personal guest of the Feng family.
Because from the beginning, he was entrusted by the woman behind Feng Jishi to protect Feng Jishi's personal safety in private.
Coupled with his relationship with Youzhou, in the past, in order to avoid suspicion, he never got involved in various affairs in the military.
So he could accept the invitation of Governor Feng to have dinner together, and he could also accept various commissions from the host and hostess of Feng's house on weekdays.
Now he helps train the Dark Night Battalion and the Guards Battalion only because of Feng Jishi.
But in the army, he never accepted any formal official position.
Governor Feng thought for a moment and then looked at Han Long:
“Mr. Han, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to go over this matter.”
Feng Jishi spoke, and Han Long raised his head and wiped his mouth:
“Your Majesty, please give me your orders, why should you be polite?”
After this battle, all the knights from Yongliang to Hebei, and from Hebei to the Central Plains, who heard the name of Han Long, would give a thumbs up and praise him:
“A Korean hero who serves the country and the people!”
The name Han Daxia will be ranked only under Feng Langjun in the world from now on.
What's the trouble with doing things for Feng Langjun?
PS: No money is required for the following.
The picture in the previous chapter is Sima Yi's battle plan, not the actual situation map.
Only when the locals cross the river and Guan Ji goes south, Sima Yi will encircle her according to the arc route in the picture.
If the turtle couple did not move, Sima Yi could only hide between Luoshui and Weishui to wait for the turtle to enter the net in order to avoid being discovered in advance.
It is the position circled at the bottom of the picture and marked "Sima Yi is waiting".
Attached is the picture from the previous chapter:
Previous Chapter I saw that if someone wants to see this kind of map, they can search "Convenient Query Network" and click on the electronic map to view it.
Second question, some book friends are still worried that the aristocratic family will take advantage of the opportunity of integrating with the emerging class to revive. This is unnecessary.
The core issue is: Productivity determines production relations.
Do you think you can just say "I am willing to cooperate" and then shed some blood, and finally you can build a manor and lock yourself in it like before?
Or should we say that the emerging class will eventually become a new aristocratic family?
What emerging capital wants is division of labor, collaboration, raw material supply, market opening, product dumping, and the pursuit of profits…
As for the aristocratic families in the Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, their most typical economic model was the manor economy, which was self-sufficient, closed and exclusive to foreigners.
The two are naturally hostile.
To say that emerging capital is willing to return to the manor era is an insult to history and the laws of economic development.
Some people want to maintain the original manor economy. Do they really think that the emerging capital that is closely integrated with Jihan's upper-level politics is a good person?
Do you know what the iron fist of imperialism with Han characteristics is?
The only way to stop this historical trend is to destroy Ji Han and strangle emerging capital in the cradle.
Of course, given Jihan’s current economic and political development trends, problems will also arise in the future.
For example, oligarchs?
This is very possible, almost certain.
But again, productivity determines production relations.
Many book friends have made it very clear that each generation has its own problems. Before productivity reaches that level, it is useless to worry.
After all, we cannot solve problems that have not yet arisen for our descendants.
Hunter is not a god, so of course he can't either.
So this issue is no longer within the scope of this book.
After all, you can't call this book "The Story of Feng Tubou, His Several Wives and Their Descendants over the Hundreds of Years", right?
