Chapter 38 A Hu of Liangzhou

[The destiny is not mine! ! ! ]

These five words were too heavy, and everyone in the hall choked for a moment, feeling that breathing became extremely laborious.

But the words floating on the light curtain attracted everyone's attention.

Kong Ming was the first to calm down and speculated from the tone:

"The people of Xiangfan came to witness the glory of the second master... He looked more like a contemporary of Wen Mang."

Zhang Fei pinched his mustache like a steel needle and also speculated:

"This tone is like what people who watch people playing Cuju say in the Cuju field."

"Maybe there is some magical means in the future that can turn the words of Qingyi into words and run on the light curtain." Huang Yueying expressed her opinion.

Jiang Wan quickly copied and judged in his heart: The three generals used such auspicious signs to build a Cuju field, and they are really not afraid of the blame of the auspicious signs!

On the other hand, Mrs. Huang's words are more elegant and correct, Qingyi! Well said!

As for the light curtain that suddenly popped up, Jiang Wan was not surprised. After all, it was the culprit that caused him to work overtime now!

On the contrary, Jiang Wan was very interested in the light curtain that Mrs. Huang said could directly convert words into text!

"I just don't know what the navy... Marine Corps is?" Zhang Fei didn't care and noticed something else:

"And second brother, the future generations have a good evaluation of you!"

"After all, the light curtain mentioned that the second brother was awesome in China many times! As for the navy marines, I think it is a strong soldier who can fight bravely on water and land?"

Liu Bei made a guess with the sensitivity of an old soldier, and other generals agreed.

As for the last Li Shimin... who is he? I don't know him!

[We said before that part of the reason why Cao Cao retreated was because his home was stolen, so he decisively gave up Hanzhong and returned to defend Xudu when he had to choose the lesser of two evils.

So who stole the home? Of course, it was our protagonist today: Guan Yu!

Did the strategy of stealing the home succeed?

Good news: It succeeded! Bad news: This strategy was too successful! 】

"How can success be bad news?!" Zhang Fei found it hard to agree.

"Maybe..." Guan Yu shook his head. Guangmu had talked about Xiangfan many times. He also had his own speculations about famous generals. He had speculated with Kong Ming and had already made some guesses.

"But stealing home is a good word!" Zhang Fei turned and praised: "It's clear and easy to understand. We are fighting against Cao's hometown!"

【During the Battle of Hanzhong, the Shu army far away in Jingzhou naturally had to relieve the pressure on the boss. This was part of their job.

So Guan Yu and Meng Da led their troops to attack Xiang, Fan, Shang, Fang and other places respectively, forcing Cao Cao to withdraw troops from Hanzhong on the west line to reinforce Xiangfan on the east line. 】

Standard operation!

There was almost no fault to find. Kong Ming even stood up and compared it on the map behind him:

"If Shangyong can be taken, General Guan only needs to take Xiangyang, and even Fancheng is not needed. In this way, Jingyi and Hanzhong can be connected as one, and a big plan can be planned!"

Although he knew the ending, Kong Ming was still very excited to see his previous plan being pushed forward to this step.

However... it is clear to abbreviate the place where the battle took place as the line. So the battle in Hanzhong is the Hanzhong line? Kong Ming wrote it down.

[This matter was actually done well by our old friend Meng Da. The "Biography of Liu Feng" in Shushu records that he first attacked Fangling in the north, and then joined forces with Liu Feng in Shangyong, and accepted the surrender of Shangyong prefect Shen Dan.

And here comes the first interesting thing. After Meng Da killed the prefect of Fangling, Liu Bei sent Liu Feng to go to the Mian River to meet Meng Da's troops. The reason given by Shushu for this operation was that "the first lord secretly feared that Da could not take charge alone."

But later, "Zizhi Tongjian" believed that this speculative statement was not credible. After all, "The Three Kingdoms" was written in the Jin Dynasty, and Wei and Jin were regarded as orthodox, and the tradition of tabooing for the respected was also retained.

But in short, it is true that Liu Bei sent Liu Feng to divide Meng Da's military power, but this also caused the first explosive point of the Battle of Yiling:

Liu Feng messed up this kind of work that required delicate operation. 】

"Why do I feel... that the Three Kingdoms doesn't seem to be saying good things?" Zhang Fei thought.

Kong Ming pointed out the key points with ease:

"If this book regards Cao Wei as the orthodoxy, then Meng Da's rebellion against Shu and return to Wei should be exaggerated, and..." Kong Ming recalled:

"Guangmu also said before that when Meng Da surrendered to Wei, it was at the time when Wei Feng surrendered to Han. So Meng Da's move of abandoning darkness and surrendering to light must have the orthodoxy reason."

Kong Ming read history and felt that this was nothing new. Is it rare for writers to write in a roundabout way?

【But if we consider it comprehensively, Liu Bei's operation was justified. First of all, Meng Da's father Meng Tuo was more famous.

When the Ten Eunuchs were in power at the end of the Han Dynasty, Meng Tuo sold his property and went to Luoyang hoping to make a name for himself, but Meng Tuo had neither talent nor connections. How could he become famous? He relied on scheming.

Because the money was not much, Meng Tuo chose a very clear target. He was trying to curry favor with Zhang Rang...'s servants. All the money, gifts, and entertainment expenses were paid by Boss Meng.

After a long time, Zhang Rang's servants felt embarrassed and felt that they were not worthy of such friendship as a servant, so they wanted Meng Tuo to make some requests.

Meng Tuo said that I am a face-loving person, and I don't ask much. When I pass by here in a sedan chair tomorrow, you just need to kowtow to me.

Is this a big deal for servants? It's really not a big deal. They are professionals in kowtow!

So when Meng Tuo came the next day, Zhang Rang's servants knelt on the ground. Meng Tuo entered Zhang Rang's house, hid inside for a while, and then went home in a swagger.

At that time, there were many people who wanted to curry favor with the Ten Eunuchs' Mansion. Seeing Meng Tuo's pomp, they gave him gifts and asked him to do things.

Meng Tuo accepted all the gifts, and then packaged and resold them for money, successfully catching Zhang Rang's eye.

Later, he gave Zhang Rang a hu of Pu Tao wine to win his favor, and successfully got the position of Liangzhou governor, leaving behind the allusion of a hu of Liangzhou.

Su Shi of the Song Dynasty also left a poem to satirize: "The general fought a hundred battles but never won, but Bo Lang won Liangzhou with one fight." 】

[Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty also had: I held a hu for you and went to Liangzhou governor.

Lu You was not to be outdone: When the wine was finished, I asked for it with a letter, but I didn't know that people wanted to win Liangzhou.

In ancient times, people were quite good at scolding people, but the allusion of Li Guang's difficulty in becoming a minister was used too much, and it felt like the old general was full of arrows.

He went public through a backdoor listing, increased the cost of traffic, and finally absconded with the money. This Meng Tuo can be called a textbook-level capitalist entrepreneur.

Yes, from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the Battle of Xiangfan, the UP host knows how to trace the roots.

Zhang Rang was quite ignorant in this way. He was able to get the wine for 100 or 80 yuan.

After all, grapes grow well in the Western Regions. It's a pity that the Wei, Jin and Sui dynasties didn't pay much attention to this land. It was almost lost until the wise and powerful Emperor Tang successfully recovered it.

Li Shimin: Say more, I love to hear it. 〗

Everyone in the hall covered their faces and couldn't bear to watch. It seemed that Meng Tuo's operation brought shame to the Han Dynasty and even other dynasties.

Liu Bei stroked his sword lightly: "I wish I could kill the Ten Attendants myself!"

"Then you will be busy, big brother." Zhang Fei smiled and counted on his fingers: "After killing the Ten Attendants, there is still General He. There is Dong Zhuo behind, and now there is Cao thief. I'm afraid the sword will be blunt."

"With a father like this, Meng Da is indeed not trustworthy. Moreover, Shangyong is an important place. It is indeed a more reasonable decision to let a confidant garrison there." Kong Ming agreed with Liu Bei's decision in the light curtain.

Kong Ming immediately took the initiative and said, "Three generals, shut up and wait and see."

Huang Yueying wrote down her speculation in a beautiful handwriting:

The Western Regions are hot during the day and cold at night, and the geology is mostly windy and sandy deserts. The pleasant climate in Guanzhong leads to poor growth of grapes (syrup)?

The first update is here.

The more information about Xiangfan is sorted out, I feel like I can even write it directly to the shelves... outrageous
