Chapter 1219 That Incomparably Precious Time

  The Central Guard was scolding General Zuo Hussar.

  He called General Zuo Hussar a bastard.

  Although he doesn't understand what a **** is, it seems that the Central Guard is very angry with General Zuo Hussar.

  But Jiang Wei and Liu Yin pretended not to hear it.

  Anyway, if they want to participate in things of that level, they are still a little short of qualifications.

  And...the two of them didn't like Wei Yan either.

  On the contrary, he prefers to be close to the Central Guard.

   Liu Yin needless to say.

  He was recommended by Mrs. You of Zhongduhu, so he could enter the army, and finally became famous in Jieting.

  As for Jiang Wei, Tong and Zhong Duhu accepted the art of war taught by the prime minister back then, so he was regarded as half a brother of the same school.

  Although I have worked with Wei Yan before, but looking at the whole big man, how many people can bear Wei Yan's temper?

  So the two are more concerned about another matter now.

   "Zhongduhu, what should we do now?"

  Although the situation was urgent, Jiang Wei and Liu Yin's eyes still glowed with excitement at the arrival of the Central Guard.

  Yes, the situation in Shangdang is very worrying—others may be very worried.

   The more people who don't understand military affairs, the more worried they will be.

  But for people in the army like Jiang Wei and Liu Yin, they have more confidence in their hearts:

  As long as Zhongduhu is there, everything will be fine.

   This is the belief that the Zhongduhu, who has never been defeated for so many years, is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers.

   Moreover, the strong self-confidence built up by the Han soldiers over the years cannot be defeated by a mere loss of the party.

  The longer a person stays in the army, the stronger this belief will be.

  Of course, the excitement of the two is not mainly because of this.

   but because of another thing:

  The Chinese capital has come over, does that mean that we finally have a chance to make meritorious deeds?

   "What should I do?" Feng Duhu poured himself another large bowl of water and said, "It's very difficult."

  Jiang Wei and Liu Yin were both startled.

   Lying back in the chair again, Feng Duhu said expressionlessly:

   "I hurried from the southern front to the eastern front. Now I haven't even fully figured out what happened in the Shangdang. What decision can I make?"

   "So I have to wait. Only when Shangdang, Hedong, and even Taiyuan gather all the military information can I make a judgment."

  The incident happened suddenly. Fortunately, General Zhendong came forward, which temporarily stabilized people's hearts.

  But General Zhendong is not the Central Guard after all.

  Although Zhongdu Hufu carries the word Fu, it also has a fixed office location on weekdays.

   But it is still typical of wartime.

  That is, if it is necessary—such as the current situation—the Central Capital Protector will come to the front to direct the battle in person, and it is often necessary to transfer the subordinate officials of the Chang'an Central Capital Protectorate to form a mobile Central Capital Protectorate.

  Where the Central Protector is, there is the real Central Protector.

  As Zhong Duhu said, he rushed to Tongguan in a hurry, and the news did not keep up.

  The most important thing is that the staff group has not followed.

  It takes time to adjust.

   After all, in this era, there are no radio satellites.

  The transmission of news, even if it is the fastest transmission, there is a delay.

  Not to mention Jiang Wei Liuyin and others, who can only know the general news.

   It is impossible for Feng Duhu to have an accurate grasp of the overall battle situation when he first arrives.

  Even if you have mastered and summarized all the information ahead, you still have to judge the battle situation, mobilize various armies, and allocate materials according to the situation.

   All kinds of tedious things, if you want to handle them without delay, you definitely need a team.

  At least for Feng Duhu, he needs his staff.

  Hearing Feng Duhu's words, the excitement that Jiang and Liu had just raised in their hearts was drowned out.

   Seeing the expressions of the two, how could Feng Duhu not know what they were thinking.

  He spat:

   "Bo Yue, you have also learned the art of war from the prime minister. Let me ask you, which five virtues are the five virtues?"

  Jiang Wei didn't understand why Zhong Duhu asked about the art of war at this time, but subconsciously straightened his back and replied:

   "Entrusted with the protection of the central government, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness are the five virtues of generals."

   "Yes." Feng Duhu nodded, "People in the world now only think that bravery is the first thing to do, but they don't know that wisdom is the first."

   "The joint staff is for the convenience of gathering the wisdom of everyone!"

  He looked at Jiang Wei and continued to ask: "There will be five dangers, what are the five dangers?"

  Jiang Wei replied again:

   "If you must die, you can be killed; if you must live, you can be captured; if you are quick to anger, you can be insulted; if you are honest, you can be insulted; if you love the people, you can be annoying."

  Desperate and reckless, greedy for life and afraid of death, impatient and irritable, value reputation, and dote on soldiers, these are all taboos for generals.

  Feng Duhu asked again:

   "Shangdang's mistake, what taboo did Wei Yan commit?"

   This question finally made Jiang Wei silent for a while, and then he spoke:

   "Must die, be angry quickly..."

  Feng Duhu sneered:

   "There is still one taboo, if you don't say it, I will say it, and that is honesty."

  If it wasn't for him insisting on competing with himself for this reputation, how could Guo Xun Sima Yi take advantage of his loopholes?

   "If the five taboos violate the three taboos, their defeat is inevitable, so it is useless to be anxious now."

  This is why it is often said that "a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find".

  In the case of insufficient information transmission speed, the ability of frontline generals is highly required.

   In the face of rapidly changing battle situations, it is necessary to make accurate judgments in a timely manner.

   Otherwise, the day lily will be cold when the news reaches the rear.

  So in the era of cold weapons, it is very talented to lead an army to fight a war.

   It doesn't mean that you can become a qualified general if you learn how to deploy formations and the art of war.

  In addition to talent, is there any other way to become a famous player?

have.

  That is to be matched with great luck-not only have the opportunity to learn the art of war, but also have countless opportunities to correct mistakes, so as to continue to grow.

  The so-called reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, combining theory with practice, is exactly the truth.

  However, "Soldiers are the major events of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival", how many people can have this kind of opportunity, and grow up through trial and error again and again?

  The middle and low-level soldiers may be okay. After all, even in the era of war, there are people who have survived countless life-and-death battles—this is already great luck.

  But as a general, how many times can you lead the army to trial and error?

   Unless you open up, not only for yourself, but also for your surroundings.

  Of course, in order to get the bottom line, it is best to have more insight and marry a few more virtuous housemates.

   There is no good internal help, but good foreign help is fine.

   For example, a certain wood turtle.

  Of course, a certain surname Feng Duhu would not admit it.

   He looked at Jiang Wei and said meaningfully:

   "If you don't know what the army can't do, you can call it advancing; if you don't know what the army can't retreat, you can call it retreating. This is called "retreating the army". This is the great danger of this army."

   "Now the Shangdang war is going on, we haven't studied it, we haven't asked for its details, can we act rashly?"

  Tongguan is the most important barrier in Guanzhong. Jiang and Liu are guarding here, and they dare not move a single step until they get the military order.

  These days, the war in Shangdang has been stalemate, but the two of them can only wait here, naturally feel uncomfortable.

  Hearing what Zhong Duhu said at this time, both of them were startled, and secretly felt ashamed:

   "What Zhong Duhu said is very true, we are too impatient."

  Wei Wenchang was greedy for meritorious service and became an army, but we didn't think about it, and wanted to follow in the footsteps, ashamed, ashamed.

  Seeing this, Feng Duhu showed a satisfied smile on his tired face.

  Jiang Boyue is sensitive to military affairs, but sometimes he acts too risky.

  Take this opportunity to remind him that it would be a good thing if he could think of this when his head is hot.

   It was just a flash of satisfaction, followed by a sigh in my heart.

  At this time, I am shouldering the weight of the whole country's military affairs, and I am facing Sima Yi, so I should not make a decision lightly, and it is not a lie.

  In the past, he led an army alone, and had the prime minister to support him, so he naturally had less scruples.

  But now, I am the bottom of everyone!

  Thinking like this, he said to Jiang Wei and Liu Yin:

   "It's a good thing for soldiers in the army to be happy when they hear the battle. It's just that you two are the leaders of the army, and you can't be like ordinary soldiers."

   "You are responsible for the lives of the soldiers under you. You should think about it before going to battle."

  Jiang Wei and Liu Yin responded again: "What the Zhongdu protector taught."

   "The current battle situation is like this. What should have happened has happened long ago. What should not have happened has already happened. There is no shortage of time."

  Feng Duhu's voice became a little deep:

   "In two days at the latest, the staff group of the Zhongdu Protectorate will arrive. When the staff group deduces the battle situation and formulates the battle plan, I will sometimes be present."

   "Both of you, you can make more suggestions at that time, talk about the news you have, and your own ideas, and brainstorm!"

  When the two heard it, they were overjoyed, and the initial loss had long since disappeared:

   "Follow the order of the Central Capital!"

   "Don't worry, the Central Guard, the general will make good preparations when he goes down."

   Zhongdu Hufu, to be precise, is the first staff group created by Zhongdu Hu, and it is a legend in the Han army.

  I heard that there are generals and schools in the army, students from the martial arts hall, and even the most grassroots officers in the army. A few will appear from time to time.

  A magical place.

but!

  But no one dared to underestimate the people inside.

   It is rumored that the staff team has contributed a lot to the illustrious military exploits that Duhu has made in these years.

  As long as someone can enter the staff group for training, and then come out to lead the army, the future is better than others.

   After all, following Zhongduhu's side, receiving advice from Zhongduhu from time to time, naturally he has more knowledge.

  Besides, wandering around Zhongduhu every day, and can often give advice to Zhongduhu, if you are really capable, Zhongduhu can still miss it?

  So over time, the staff group around Zhongduhu has become a place of experience that many young generations with ambitions for the army yearn for.

   Later, when the prime minister passed away, Zhongduhu was the number one member of the Han army.

  The staff group behind Zhongdu's guard is even more valuable.

  I thought there was another Wei Yan who could barely wrestle with Zhongdu Hu.

   Unexpectedly, I have seen it today, so it is!

   And broke the wrist!

   In front of the first emperor, he swore that if a hundred thousand bandit soldiers dared to come, he would swallow them all.

   This is less than 100,000, and Shangdang is gone.

   Wei Dazuizi!

  Jiang Wei and Liu Yin definitely wanted to gain a foothold in the army.

   At this time, when I heard that I can communicate with the staff in depth, how can I not be moved?

   "I know you two are impatient, go down and prepare. If you have any suggestions or ideas, you can bring them up in the staff group in two days."

  Feng Duhu waved his hand, closed his eyes, and made no effort to hide the tiredness on his face.

  Jiang Wei and Liu Yin knew each other, knowing that the Zhongduhu came all the way and needed to rest, so they got up quickly and retreated.

  Feng Duhu waited until there was no sound in the room, then opened his eyes again, looked at the roof without focus, and sighed faintly:

   "Xijun, before I'm ready, everything depends on you!"

  Just as General Zhendong took a step ahead, crossed the river, and temporarily stabilized the hearts of the people in Hedong.

  Feng Duhu ran non-stop all the way, running from Caoqiaoguan to Tongguan regardless of his care, also in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the pass.

   As for how to lead the army to fight back against the Wei bandits, at least the preliminary work must be prepared first, right?

   What's more, he is the commander-in-chief of this battle and needs to coordinate the overall situation, so there are more preparations to be made.

  For example, Wei Jun’s troops at Hangu Pass, Luoyang’s troops, Hanoi’s troops, Shangdang’s troops...

   And Sima Yi's next plan?

   These are things to figure out.

  Even if you don't know clearly, you should get more detailed information about the enemy, and try to guess the opponent's intentions as accurately as possible.

   At the same time, different records must be made for unexpected situations.

   Time, Feng Duhu needs time very much now.

  So the time that General Zhendong bought him is very precious.

   It was also fortunate that Jiang Wan was concerned about logistics, food and grass.

  Feng Duhu believes that the Han Empire that is really functioning is enough to crush the early advantage obtained by Sima Yi's first move.

   But Feng Duhu's key consideration is how much will the big man have to pay for this?

  He stood up, walked to the map, looked at it for a while, couldn't help stretching out his fingers, and tapped Luoyang lightly.

  Then, he spread his hand again and slapped it on the river east.

  …

  Compared to Feng Duhu's patience, Wei Chang, who had retreated to Gaoping Pass early, built a defense line in the south of the pass to prevent Sima Shi from Gaodu from catching up.

   While sending out scouts to both Gaodu and the eldest son to inquire about news.

  It wasn’t until a scout sent news that there seemed to be a large Han army retreating from the direction of the eldest son, and when the former army was not far from Gaoping, Wei Chang’s heart was hanging, and then he fell down.

   "Go, take me to see."

  Master Sima in the south didn't seem to have expected Wei Chang to abandon Gaodu so quickly, and ran to Gaoping Pass in no time.

  I didn't catch my breath, so I had to stay in Gaoducheng... for a few days.

   He couldn't help being careless, after all, this was his first time leading an army.

  And Sima Yi only asked him to delay Wei Yan as much as possible.

   Not sure why the Han army suddenly retreated. Sima Division, who did not have much experience in leading the army, did not seek meritorious deeds, but no faults.

   Before finding out whether the Han army had an ambush somewhere, it was impossible for him to lead his troops directly to chase them.

   This gave Wei Chang a time difference, allowing him to gallop towards the north with his guards without worrying about the south for the time being.

  The first ones to connect are the people from the engineering battalion.

   There was no other way. After receiving the news that Wei Yan ordered the retreat, Wang Han immediately escorted the engineering battalion to retreat towards Gaoping Pass first.

   "General Wang?"

   "Meet General Wei."

  Looking at the rear of the engineering battalion and the retreating troops, Wei Chang finally relaxed completely.

   "General Wang, my family is the oldest, uh, where is General Left Hussar? But in the back?"

   Wei Chang asked while standing on tiptoe.

   Waited for a long time, but did not hear a response.

   Wei Chang felt that something was wrong. He turned around again, and his eyes fell on Wang Han:

   "General Wang?"
