Chapter 304 Home Country
Game of Thrones is always everywhere.

After Sima Yi died of illness, the relationship between Guo Huai and Luoyang became delicate.

Besides Yang Zheng, Guo Huai was the one who was least willing to see the Shu army defeated.

Since there is the governor of Yongliang, why did Luoyang repeatedly create the official positions of General Anxi, Chijie, and Supervising Yongliang's military affairs?

It was Sima Fu, the Taiwei of the current dynasty, who personally guarded Chang'an.

This was obviously aimed at Guo Huai.

At that time, Guo Huai was already sixty-five, and he was a man of the same era as Zhuge Wuhou, Sima Yi, and Sima Fu, and a veteran of the four dynasties.

At this age, people have to think more and more deeply.

A Yongliang that was integrated by Sima Fu would have nothing to do with him as the governor of Yongliang.

"So Yang Zheng is still alive." Guo Huai drank a cup of hot tea and exhaled.

"What about the Shu Army?" his nephew Guo Zhan asked.

"Jiang Wei, it's not that easy to lose, let's wait and see." Guo Huai wrapped the sable fur tightly and let out a long breath.

In Guanzhong in September, the cold wind suddenly picked up, and the weather has turned cold.

Guo Tong pointed to the top of his head, "There is another secret message from the palace recently."

As Guo Huai grew older, his energy was not as good as before, and he was often in trouble. Guo Tong and Guo Zhan were entrusted with internal and external affairs.

Guo Huai couldn't help frowning, the emperor had been looking for him for more than a day or two.

Although there are no specific instructions, this kind of exchange itself is extremely dangerous.

Moreover, Guo Huai suspected that these letters were probably not sent by the emperor, and Luoyang was strictly controlled by Master Sima, so how could the secret letter be sent so easily?

But Guo Huai had to accept it, because everyone in the world felt that he should be a loyal minister of Wei.

Sometimes Guo Huai also felt that he was a loyal minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, who was greatly favored by Emperor Wen. After sitting in Yongliang for 30 years, his favor was not weaker than that of Sima Yi and Wang Ling.

"Trust me and just take a look, don't take it seriously." Guo Huai said a little lonely.

He is indeed somewhat loyal to Cao Wei, but in today's world, he is even more loyal to the Guo family!

Family country, family country, first family and then country.

Cao Shuang is not the only one who loves Zhandou.

Hasn't Sima Yi kissed his own home for so many years, and Sima Shi is what he is today?
On this point, Guo Huai sees it more clearly than anyone else.

Some people are manipulated like marionettes all their lives and cannot help themselves.

And some people can affect the general trend of the world with a light flick of their fingers.

Guo Huai survived Sima Yi, so he didn't want to fall in front of Sima Yi.

In today's Wei State, from the perspective of Master Sima, whose hidden danger is greater?
Of course it wasn't Yang Zheng from the poor place in the northwest.

No matter how impressive Yang Zheng is, Xiping is separated from Luoyang by many mountains.

And Chang'an is next to Luoyang.

In terms of background, qualifications, prestige, influence, and strength, Guo Huai is far behind Yang Zheng.

So Guo Huai had to believe that cleaning up the Shu army and Xiping was a fake, and taking the opportunity to integrate Yongliang and suppress himself was the truth.

In late September of the third year of Jiaping.

Wei Di Daoist Li Jian Kaicheng surrendered to Shu Zhangyi.

The battle situation in Longyou was once again turbulent.

Deng Ai is not surrounding Jiang Wei now.

Instead, Didao and Wuchengshan acted as horns to suppress Deng Ai in the opposite direction.

After several months of intrigue, the real bloody battle kicked off.

Jiang Wei did not delay for a moment, and attacked Deng Ai with reinforcements from Didao's direction.

On the battlefield, a dense rain of arrows and artillery stones flew across the sky and smashed into each other's formations, followed by screams.

With their large shields and spears upright, the step formation pushed forward layer by layer, devouring one young life after another.

The cavalry were like two long snakes, strangling repeatedly on the periphery.

Human life is as light as an ant here.

The soldiers on both sides fought round after round, but they were still unable to break the evenly matched situation.

Jiang Wei has a military advantage.

But Deng Ai occupies a favorable location, and wherever he goes, docks, antlers, and ditches will rise up.

A general from a farming family is extremely tenacious and tenacious, and this advantage has also been passed on to his sons and his subordinates.

Liu Yin and Fu Qian broke through the antlers several times and entered the Wubao, but the enemy did not give up, and faced the Shu army's crossbows, swords and spears with flesh and blood, buying time for the rear robe.

Blood flowed from the dock, and corpses fell from the city wall...

For every Wei army that fell, a Shu army died.

The fortifications arranged by Deng Ai are extremely tricky. No matter how brave the Ren Shu army is, the morale and courage will be consumed on civil engineering and stones.

Outside the battlefield, more than a dozen scout teams cruised cautiously.

Qiang people, Hu people, Xiongnu, Xianbei...

There are all kinds of costumes.

Like a group of wild deer watching two tigers fighting in the jungle, vigilant and nervous.

With one eye on the battlefield, the other eye on others of its kind.

Also dodge the occasional back arrow.

The huge casualties made Liao Hua couldn't help frowning.

"This battle can't be fought like this!" At that time, Liao Hua was already sixty-five, but he was still tall and straight, Kong Wu was powerful, majestic, and his aura was not inferior to that of a young hero.

Only he can talk to Jiang Wei like this.

When Fei Yi was alive, it was also Liao Hua who supported Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition with practical actions many times.

"Deng Ai, Deng Ai..." Jiang Wei murmured, his eyes wandering to the scouts outside the battlefield.

After Fei Yi was assassinated, Jiang Wei rose to the top and was reused by Shu Lord Liu Chan, but this also deepened his suspicion of assassinating Fei Yi.

Guo Dun was also a prisoner dedicated to the court of Shu.

It is no secret that Jiang Wei raised dead soldiers in Shu.

The gap between the Jingzhou faction and Jiang Wei is getting deeper and deeper.

Dong Jue, who had a very good relationship before, had publicly participated in Jiang Weihao's great success in the court, wasting his military power, and asked the Lord of Shu to restrict his Northern Expedition.

But it seems that the Lord of Shu is obviously biased towards Jiang Wei.

"Sima Fu's [-] elite troops are already on their way to help. After Li Fu and Liu Qin's corps plundered me, if they don't leave now, they won't be able to leave in the future! This battle is not because the soldiers don't want their lives, but because the weather is unfavorable, and the court will not I am deeply responsible, this year is not good, and next year it will be, now that the old thief Sima is dead, it is not so easy for Master Sima to stabilize the country." Liao Hua persuaded earnestly.

Not only was the weather unfavorable, but the food and grass of the Shu army were also stretched.

Hanzhong was affected by the heavy rain, and the roads were washed away. Even if there was no heavy rain, it would not be easy to transfer grain from Hanzhong.

Before Jiang Wei retreated, he would eat Deng Ai in one bite and destroy Sima Shi Yongliang.

Unexpectedly, Deng Ai was so difficult to deal with.

All kinds of disadvantages are added together, and the Shu army has no meaning in Yongliang.

"Retire the army." Jiang Wei waved his hand, and suddenly remembered Xia Houba's reminder that Deng Ai and Zhong Hui were both very human.

The Shu army retreated, but Deng Ai didn't let it go, and led his troops to follow closely behind.

Jiang Wei moved from left to right, from south to north, shuttled between the mountains and rivers of Longxi, without giving Deng Ai any chance.

The Shu army retreated to Didaocheng, and Deng Ai followed to Didaocheng.

In October, Sima Fu rode into Ji County at the head of the army and came to Didao with his army.

Jiang Wei knew that he couldn't keep it, so he abandoned Di Road and walked away.

And Fanghan was right in front of Yang Zheng's house...
