Chapter 3562 Is there no cure?


    Jiangling area.


    Zhuge Liang looked at the burned old military camp on the north bank and frowned.


    Destruction is always easier than construction, and there is nothing wrong with this sentence no matter where it is.


    The burned military camp on the north bank was the water camp of the Jiangdong Army before. Now it has been burned and destroyed, it has become ruins.


    Obviously, no matter how combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong Navy is, at least there is no problem in the selection of the water village.


    The location of this ruin is the best place to go to the village. There are either problems here or there are some shortcomings in other places.


    But if we really want to rebuild a new military camp on this ruin...


    That would be too troublesome.


    Not to mention whether there is so much manpower and time to clear the remaining ruins and debris. Just talking about Cao Zhen’s troops who are eyeing the land, it is impossible for Xu Huang and Zhuge Liang to have any ample effort to rebuild the water camp.


    Cao Zhen’s decisiveness surprised Xu Huang and Zhuge Liang, but also felt it was tricky.


    Now Cao Zhen gave up fighting against the Sichuan and Shu naval army on the north bank of Jiangling, but directly burned the original remaining Jiangdong water camp and retreated directly to the land.


    Cao Zhen led not many naval troops, so it is impossible for him to rely on warships on the water surface to intercept the Sichuan and Shu naval troops like the Jiangdong naval troops. If he continues to fight against the Sichuan and Shu naval troops on the river, it is very likely that he will be eaten part of it today and a part will be reduced tomorrow, and he will be defeated in the end.


    After Cao Zhen gave up the water camp, he gained the initiative instead.


    Next to Jiangling is Yunmengze.


    Although Yunmengze is shrinking due to the accumulation of mud and sand, even if it is shrinking by nearly half, it is still a huge land. Cao Zhen hid the remaining naval warships into Yunmengze, and Xu Huang and Zhuge Liang have the ability to reach the sky, and they cannot find it.


    The current situation is that if Xu Huang and Zhuge Liang rebuilt the burned water camp or choose another place to build the forward base on the north bank, they may be attacked by Cao Zhen''s naval fleet at any time.


    It is OK to guard against thieves in one day, but there is no reason to guard against thieves in a thousand days.


    Cao Zhen is just delaying time now.


    If Xu Huang and Zhuge Liang attacked Jiangling City without caring about it, they would be attacked by Cao''s army sideways. Moreover, although the Jiangdong Navy retreated, it does not mean that it is impossible to move again.


    No matter what dynasty it is, it is very difficult to fall into the open conspiracy of exchanging space for time.


    Xu Huang and Zhuge Liang could either design to fish out the hidden Cao Zhen’s water army first and then destroy it so that they could attack Jiangling boldly, or they could only move forward step by step steadily.


    But now, Cao Zhen is obviously not that easy to catch...


    Do you have to work hard? It’s nothing to consume time, it’s mainly a waste of manpower and material resources.


    After all, the supply line was too long when we came from Sichuan and Shu along the river.


    Just when Zhuge Liang could not think of any two-dimensional method, Cai''s people appeared...


    Xu Huang didn''t know the Cai family, but he knew that Zhuge Liang knew, so he asked someone to find Zhuge Liang who was thinking about countermeasures by the river.


    When Zhuge Liang was under Lushan, he also met Cai An, but his relationship was not deep and he did not have much contact. However, Zhuge Liang could tell the authenticity of the secret letter from the elder Cai.


    "This letter will become true in eight. 』


    Zhuge Liang didn''t say he was dead, but there was basically no problem.


    "It''s a pity that there is no Jiangling defense map..." Xu Huang nodded, feeling a little regretful.


    After all, they are now facing Jiangling''s opponent Cao Zhen, not Cao Ren in Xiangyang.


    Zhuge Liang also nodded.


    However, there is nothing to blame for the Cai family. After all, judging from the current situation of the Cai family, they cannot get Jiangling''s defense map.


    『Xiangyang, Fangling. ''Xu Huang looked at the defense map sent by Cai, ''Kong Ming, what do you think? 』


    Zhuge Liang looked at the defense map and suddenly an idea came up. He raised his head and revealed the vitality and vitality of the young man. "General, since you have this map, you might as well pretend to attack Jiangling and attack Fangling sideways! 』


    Xu Huang frowned and said, "Would it be too risky?" From here to Fangling, you may not be able to escape the guard post in the mountains of Cao Jun! If you are not careful, you may be...』


    Zhuge Liang shook his head, took a step forward, and pointed to a place on the map, "not from here, but... from here!" 』


    …


    …


    While Xu Huang and Zhuge Liang were about to punch a left hook, Liu Xie, who was in the Xu County Palace, stared at a painting that could not be completed on the table, looked at the crooked bamboo, and hesitated while holding the pen.


    A drop of ink beads dripped off the tip of the pen, soaking it into a diffuse ink mark on the paper.


    "This is Guanzhong paper..."


    Liu Xie suddenly sighed and threw the pen on the table.


    Thanks to Feiqian''s vigorous development of some daily necessities, not only those precious spices and exquisite clothes, but also mid- and low-end products similar to paper, were also welcomed and used in the Central Plains of Dahan.


    Of course, this kind of "middle and low-end" is still the middle and low-end of the children of the gentry, and ordinary people still cannot afford this kind of paper. For the people, the cheapest piece of paper costs one or two copper coins, which is better to buy a bowl of light soup cakes to eat.


    The little yellow gate silently stepped forward to clean up the table, and Liu Xie looked into the distance with his hands behind his back.


    Before I knew it, there were actually too many things in Shandong, all of which were using Guanzhong goods...


    How to fight, how to fight, how to fight, how can you beat it?


    Just this paper, if Guanzhong will no longer provide it later, can Liu Xie adapt?


    Without paper, there is no painting.


    How about continuing to paint on the stone slab?


    Liu Xie picked up the jade halberd hanging from his waist and stroked the coldness of the jade halberd with his fingers, just like the cold night in memory.


    The spring night that year seemed particularly humid and cold.


    He saw himself in the bronze mirror. His thin face overlapped with the appearance in the bronze mirror, and he couldn''t tell who was the living and who was the dead.


    He gave up a lot for this throne...


    Even including his original ideals and emotions in his heart.


    Liu Xie still remembers that Dong Cheng brought him a rare pot of big red peonies that year. Beneath those layered petals is the echo of loyalty that is suppressed. "Do your Majesty remember the fire in the sixth year of Zhongping?" I am willing to be a firewood. 』


    Cold sweat broke out in Liu Xie''s palm.


    Of course, he remembered how the flames at the age of nine swallowed Jian Shuo''s screams, and the **** smell that Dong Zhuo cut the Zhongping sword in front of him.


    He fought hard, but failed.


    ''My crown has twelve jade strings...'' Liu Xie whispered to himself, ''But I can always see two shadows...''


    A cold light from Cao Cao''s sword always lies between him and the court.


    Another one is in Guanzhong...


    When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao started the war, many people also felt that Cao Cao would lose, and secretly told Liu Xie that he could show goodwill to Yuan Shao earlier, but Liu Xie felt that how could a guy who could not even tolerate his younger brother could tolerate the trapped dragon of the Han Dynasty?


    So what about now?


    Liu Xie also felt that Fei Qian could not accommodate him...


    Fei Qian seemed to be building a new world, and he was the old emperor of the Han Dynasty.


    The little yellow door whispered beside him: "Your Majesty... the table is cleaned up. ''Liu Xie recovered from being distracted. When he saw the table cleaned up again, he walked back and was silent for a moment, ''Can the table clean be cleaned up again... Can the big man be? 』


    Xiao Huangmen lowered his head and shrank his neck.


    Nowadays, Liu Xie can understand some of Cao Cao’s ideas.


    For example, I issued an edict to Zhao Yun for reward.


    Liu Xie also wanted to see if Zhao Yun would answer and how Fei Qian would react.


    『Heluo...What are the reports recently? 』


    Liu Xie asked Xiaohuangmen.


    Xiaohuangmen shook his head and said, "Report to your Majesty, I haven''t received any new news in the past two days...but...


    "But what?" ''Liu Xie glanced at the little yellow gate, ''You have been with me for so long, do you still need to be so careful? 』


    The little yellow gate whispered: "I heard that... the cavalry army has left Hangu Pass... is preparing to attack Luoyang..."


    The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!


    『Luoyang. ''Liu Xie seemed to have repeated these two words without any emotion.


    Luoyang seems to be a place that makes Liu Xie obsessed with him, but he is afraid to remember him.


    "You think...who can win?" ''After a while, Liu Xie couldn''t help asking this question again, but after asking, Liu Xie laughed at himself again and waved his hand, ''It''s okay, go and do it...''


    The little yellow door swallowed, thanked him, and then stepped down.


    Before, Liu Xie thought that it would be best if Cao Cao could lose both sides with Fei Qian, but now he understood that the possibility of losing both sides was very small, so small that it could almost be ignored.


    Even if there is a temporary stalemate, one side will eventually lose.


    If both sides are indeed evenly matched, then there will be no war easily.


    It''s like a beast meeting each other in the jungle. The roar is always loud, but there are not many cases of real fighting.


    Unless the other party really invades his own territory.


    Now, the cavalry army is about to enter the territory of Shandong...


    So, will people from Shandong still give in?


    …


    …


    In Chang''an, Sima Hui''s study room.


    The spring in Guanzhong is still not very warm, but in Sima Hui''s study, the charcoal fire burns the house warm, and the fragrance of sandalwood gently floats in the house.


    The thin Sima Hui''s eyes were half closed and half open, listening to Sima Min on the side.


    "Uncle..." Sima Min whispered, "The news from Tongguan is coming, the cavalry has gone to Hangu Pass... If this cavalry army takes Heluo, I''m afraid... this winter, the winner will be decided...


    "Okay, okay, recover Heluo. ''Sima Hui patted his palm on his knee twice.


    After Zheng Xuan''s death, Sima Hui felt like he had lost his lifelong enemy and was bored. Since he was young, Sima Hui regarded Zheng Xuan as his opponent and tried his best to surpass Zheng Xuan in making achievements in making words and books. However, after Zheng Xuan really died, Sima Hui suddenly felt that everything was meaningless and retreated from Qinglong Temple.


    Even Sima Hui gradually handed over the positions given by the cavalry to his deputy, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.


    Generally speaking, Sima Hui stayed in his manor and rarely went out.


    However, even if you don’t go out and don’t participate in government affairs activities, it does not mean that Sima Hui does not pay attention to the current situation.


    If the Cavalry really regained Heluo, this would be an amazing event for the entire Cavalry Group.


    Sima Min looked at Sima Hui''s expression.


    Now Fei sneaked into Heluo. If he really took Luoyang, with the military strength of the Cavalry Army, his next step would be to march into the Central Plains. I don’t know what the Shandong side would react...


    Moreover, if you go any further, how should you treat the current emperor?


    Just like Huo Guang?


    Or...


    Is Huo Guang awesome?


    As long as he is still a Han Chinese, even if he is despised on the surface, he is actually envious in his heart.


    "Well... Uncle..." Sima Min whispered, "A few days ago, my nephew was studying and saw Bolu Xuancheng Hou''s old story, and I felt a little touched..."


    Sima Hui''s eyebrows moved slightly, "Oh? What do you feel? Let’s hear what you feel. 』


    Sima Min bowed, "Huo Zimeng was entrusted by Emperor Xiaowu''s orphanage, and took charge of the cardinal for twenty years, and took the matter of Yi Yin to help Liu''s family. Emperor Zhao ascended the throne at a young age, and the country wasted. Huo Guang stopped the border quarrels, rested with the people, and finally started Zhaoxuan''s revival. When Changyi was promiscuous, Guang held the handle of Tai''a, abolished Meng and established Ming, and chose Emperor Xuan in the neighborhoods. This was a success of survival and death. Ban Mengjian praised his "restoring the country and ensuring the country" as a false statement... It can be said that the country is the pillar of the country and the achievements of the country are to be revealed. 』


    Sima Hui nodded, "Okay, not bad, not bad." Continue, continue. 』


    Sima Min whispered, "However, after the rule has been maintained, the Huo family has appeared in the Jiaofang and the Yeting Court. Zi Yu is the general of the Central Army, and his daughter is the queen. The clan party is like an ancient vine tangled pillar. Although Wang Mang did not have the intention of usurping the Han Dynasty, he had already usurped the emperor''s rituals when he visited the temple. The fear of Emperor Xuan''s "spike on his back" had already hidden the root of disaster. After his death, his wife showed poison to Xu Hou and Ziyunshan plotted against him, and eventually led to the destruction of the clan. Isn’t it a test of “Kanglong regretting it”? When Huo family Quan captured yin and yang, it was the beginning of the disaster. 』


    "Well..." Sima Hui weighed his beard with his hand and pondered for a moment, "What would it be if it was your opinion? 』


    Sima Min looked up slightly, and her expression was filled with some of the unique spirit of young people to guide the country. "In the past, although Huo Guang stopped Sang Hongyang''s harsh policies, he used Du Yannian''s "relaxation and harmony" strategy to be combined with Huang Lao, and was separated from the Confucianism of virtuous literature. When governing the country, he still held the scale of Shang monarch. Although he was stable, he was not benevolent. Therefore, Emperor Xuan ordered the "harmonic way to be mixed", which was to examine Huo Guang''s gains and losses. Therefore, it can be said that a capable minister in governing the world is also a powerful minister in the dangerous country. The Grand Historian said, "By the end of the sun and the moon", the cause of the promulgation is not based on the remaining fierceness of Xiaowu and the brightness of his brilliance? However, he failed to give birth to the world like Duke Zhou, and finally the portraits on Qilin Pavilion were covered with dust. This is a warning. If a minister of a pillar forgets the way of "retirement after success", even if he forgives it for ten generations, can he be exempted? 』


    『Well said! ''Sima Hui praised it with his eyebrows, ''This statement shows that the pros and cons of Xuan Chenghou''s marquis are very good and bad. 』


    Sima Min wanted to laugh, but she held back.


    Young people always like to give advice to big people to show their presence.


    From a certain perspective, Sima Min said it quite pertinently, and indeed summarized it well. He also controlled the merits, demerits, gains and losses, as well as the key points he took as a warning, but...


    Sima Hui coughed twice, "But... have you ever thought that it is not necessary to retreat, but it is impossible! 』


    "This..." Sima Min was stunned.


    『In ancient times, "When walking on frost, you know that the ice is coming," Sima Hui said slowly, "Xiaowu entrusts his orphans to the death, which is the plan of "Duke Zhou to betray the king". The name is regent, but it is actually a return to power. Hongyang once ridiculed Huo Zimeng to imitate Yi Yin and release Taijia. Although Huo Zimeng defended himself by "saving the country", is there any way to return the country in the Han Dynasty? Emperor Zhao died early, Changyi was deserted, Emperor Xuan rose from the people, and the monarchs of the three generations were all like candles in the wind. Huo Zimeng Ruo suddenly retreated, and he was afraid that the rebellion of Lu would be reappeared! This is one of them. 』


    『The second. At that time, the three dukes and nine ministers were all born in the Huo family. When Emperor Xuan was about to be established, the Shangshu reported the matter and first kept Bai Guang! Whether Huo Zi and Meng are in love or not is not up to now, will his disciples be willing to retreat? 』


    When we reached Huo Guang''s step, it was no longer Huo Guang''s problem, but a collection of survival anxiety in the entire Huo Guang group.


    When Huo Guang felt that he was about to fail, he also tried to retreat, saying that he was willing to divide three thousand households in the country to grant his brother Sun Fengche Duweishan. This was definitely not a humble resignation, but was actually a plan for Huo Guang to try to extend his life to the Huo family.


    When Huo Guang was in power, his son Huo Yu "will take the car when he goes out and serves the left and right", his son-in-law Fan Mingyou takes charge of Weiyang Guard, and his granddaughter is the Empress Shangguan. The entire Huo family has parasitized the Han court like a vine tangled with trees.


    Perhaps when Huo Guang was still old, he also thought about relying on the "wisdom of future generations", but it is obvious that Huo Guang''s descendants only thought about my ancestors bleeding and sweating. Aren''t these glory worthy of now? Even though Huo Guang really wanted to retreat, his family''s wings had become an accomplice structure, just like Shang Yang sighed before the chariot split and he was dying. Moreover, after Huo Guang''s mistress took office, he arrogantly and domineeringly killed Empress Xu, claiming that "the general leads the world, who dares to speak out?" This shows that the Huo family was actually in a difficult situation at that time and fell into collective madness.


    Huo Guang has been in power for more than 20 years. Although he inherited the cruelty of Emperor Wu and acted leniently, he has never established a stable power transition mechanism. Before his death, he recommended Zhang Anshi, Tian Yannian and others to assist in the administration. It seemed that he arranged the funeral afterwards, but in fact he was still intending to continue his political inertia. After Emperor Xuan took office, although he killed the Huo family, he followed the policy framework of Huo Guang and even placed Huo Guang''s portrait first in the Qilin Pavilion. The contradictions also reflected this dilemma like a prisoner.


    "Third... If Huo Zi Meng retreated early, he might be in trouble and the market would be beheaded. If you force yourself to keep it, you will definitely pursue the old dust of Anhan Gong. ''Sima Hui raised his head slightly and sighed softly, ''I don''t learn the art of losing my life, and I am secretly immersed in Dali. I am afraid that it is not that I don''t learn, but that I have no control to learn! In front of the Weiyang steps, the blue bricks were square, but there was no blood and tears under the stunning bluestone! 』


    Sima Min stared at the top of her eyes and was confused for a while. He originally thought that what he said before was organized and quite good, but after listening to Sima Hui''s words, he felt like a piece of paste in his head, and it was still a stirred paste. "In this way, Pi... no, is Huo Zimeng''s evil deeds unsuccessful? 』


    Sima Hui sighed softly, "I don''t know about it either... It''s hard to get through such a disease! However, in the past, Huo Zimeng had no clinics yet... Maybe...


    "Uncle, then we..."


    Sima Hui nodded slightly, shook his head slightly, and silently in the chaos of Sima Min.
