I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 322 The war intensifies!

On the evening of April 22, Sima Yi just walked out after finishing his government affairs and looked up at the sky.

Today's sky is red, like burning blood, which is spectacular.

Such strange celestial phenomena have aroused heated discussions among many people.

Some old people said that this was a harbinger of the coming war. Such a celestial phenomenon also appeared during the Battle of Chibi.

"Master, I haven't seen such a celestial phenomenon for a long time." Gao Rou said.

"Yes!" Sima Yi said calmly, "By the way, how about the investigation of Cao Shuang's remaining party?"

"Still under investigation."

At this moment, several knights galloped over on fast horses and arrived at the gate of Taifu's Mansion.

The messenger got off his horse and hurried over, but was stopped by Sima Yi's guards.

Sima Yi took it over doubtfully, what kind of military report would Guo Huai send at this time?
When he opened it and took a look, he was suddenly startled: "Zhuge Liang is sick!"

"Prime Minister!" Fei Yi came over and said hurriedly, "Prime Minister, take care of yourself. If you need anything, just leave it to us."

"Report! Governor Guo urgently reports to the military!"

"I fainted while inspecting the barracks. I'm afraid I couldn't hide this from the Wei army. Sima Yi is in power now, so he must have known about it. Guo Huai is his confidant. Guo Huai is a man with outstanding strategies and will never let this go. Chance."

"There's not much movement." Yang Yi said with concern, "The Prime Minister is ill, and the doctor said he should rest more and stop doing military duties."

On the evening of April 23, news of Chang'an's movements reached Wuzhangyuan, but Yang Yi stopped the news.

"Zhuge Liang suddenly fell ill while inspecting the barracks, and many people saw it!" Sima Yi became excited, turned around and walked inside, shouting, "No one is allowed to leave!"

Yang Yi did not report to Zhuge Liang who was lying on the hospital bed. He was worried that after the report, Zhuge Liang would worry about military affairs again.

Fei Yi said: "Yes, Prime Minister, there will be no problem if Wen Wei and I are here. We have Jiang Boyue and Zhang Yi in Chencang, and Meng Yan in Xincheng!"

"Prime Minister, are you okay?"

At Mao hour, Zhuge Liang woke up from his drowsiness.

Yang Yi just sent a letter to Jiang Wei, telling him that Prime Minister Jiang Wei was ill and that arrangements should be made for Chencang's defense line, as the Wei army might attack at any time.

Zhuge Liang insisted on getting up.

That night, the officials of the Taifu Mansion worked overtime all night.

At noon on April 23, Guo Huai received a military order from Luoyang: Send troops!
On the same day, Guo Huai began to gather elites in a high-profile manner.

Zhuge Liang's face was pale and his breath was weak. He said, "I don't mind. What are the movements of the Wei army?"

Yang Yi and Fei Yi were informed and rushed over.

In the middle of the night, an urgent military order was sent from Taifu's Mansion to Chang'an.

Zhuge Liang wanted to sit up.

Gao Rou was also startled: "Is the news reliable?"

Jiang Wei did personally inspect Chencang's defense line that night and increased his manpower.

Fei Yi helped him up.

Zhuge Liang walked to the map, and Yang Yi held up a candle for Zhuge Liang.

"If the Wei army wants to send troops, they will not attack Xincheng south of the Weihe River. Guo Huai is very worried about Chencang, so he will definitely attack Chencang with heavy troops."

Zhuge Liang coughed twice and said.

"Once Chencang is defeated by the Wei army and the Wei army takes the Long Road, Wei Yan will be blocked on the right side of Long Road." Zhuge Liang's tone was very calm, "What time is it today?"

"It's April 24th," Fei Yi said.

"Is it already April 24th?" Zhuge Liang was slightly startled, "Immediately transfer 50,000 troops from Weinan to Chencang. Go now. The transfer must be completed today!"

"Prime Minister, there's no need to be so urgent, right?" Yang Yi's heart trembled and she said quickly.

"Guo Huai is very difficult to deal with. He will definitely send troops quickly and attack Chencang with heavy troops! We can't let him take the lead!"

Zhuge Liang emphasized: "The situation in Chencang is very complicated now. Both sides have built a large number of fortresses. Once a war breaks out, there will definitely be multiple points fighting at the same time!" Fei Yi said, "I will make arrangements right away."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Fei Yi finished speaking, an urgent voice came from outside: "Report! The Wei army is here!"

Zhuge Liang looked startled and said, "Help me out!"

Five feet is enough to see the situation on the north bank of the Weihe River.

It was already daybreak, and a ray of rays of light from the east fell, illuminating the marching Wei army on the north bank of the Wei River, making the Wei army's swords and spears shine with cold light.

The endless long dragon stretches across the north of the Wei River, with no end as far as the eye can see.

The ones in front have traveled far.

Fei Yi was shocked and said: "This is at least more than 100,000!"

Yang Yi on the side looked pale and had cold sweat on her forehead.

Below Wuzhangyuan, the busy people also saw the flags floating like clouds on the north bank of the Weihe River and heard countless tiny footsteps.

"Deploy reinforcements immediately and be sure to cross the river before the Wei army attacks the cities in Chencang!"

"Here!"

Fei Yi received the order and went to work immediately.

But not long after, Fei Yi hurried over: "Prime Minister, early this morning, there were reports everywhere in Chencang New City on the south bank that you were ill, and people were panicked!"

Zhuge Liang coughed violently, almost bending over.

"It must have been spread by the Wei army! Plus someone saw it!" Zhuge Liang said, "I'm going to review the three armies and cross the river to take command in person!"

"Prime Minister, you must not do this. The doctor says you urgently need rest now!" Fei Yi said.

"No! No! The military situation is urgent!"

Zhuge Liang insisted on going, but no one could stop him.

"If we had detected in advance yesterday and could mobilize our troops overnight, we would never have been so passive!" Fei Yi looked at Yang Yi and asked, "Didn't the scouts stationed in Chang'an receive any news?"

"No one expected that so many people from the Wei army would come." Yang Yi's momentum instantly weakened.

"You mean, yesterday you..."

"Don't ask these questions now." Zhuge Liang interrupted Fei Yi, glanced at Yang Yi and said, "Go and make arrangements immediately."

"Here!"

Not long after, the defenders at the top of Chencang City faintly heard the sound of countless tiny footsteps. They looked over in surprise and saw a long black line.

The long black line soon revealed its outline, it was Wei Jun.

And it is endless, spread out on the plain, extending to the end of the sky.

The scout rushed back: "The enemy is coming!"

Soon, Chen Cangcheng was awakened from his sleep.

Jiang Wei, who had just gotten up, received two urgent reports before he had time to eat breakfast.

One share is coming from the Wei army, at least one hundred thousand!
Another urgent message came from Zhuge Liang, who was ordered to leave the city quickly and form a formation to attract the main force of the Wei army and prevent the Wei army from stretching the battle line.

He also told Jiang Wei that the next 50,000 reinforcements could cross the river today to reinforce and expand the depth of the front.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang told Jiang Wei that he must stabilize the main line and not rush to attack, waiting for him to come and take command personally.

At Chen time, the main force of the Wei army arrived outside Chencang City, and Guo Huai personally took the position of commander.

With the messengers running around, the Wei army began to form formations in the Chencang area.

The Wei army moved very quickly.

At this time, the Han army's scouts could clearly estimate the Wei army's strength.

"Prime Minister, the strength of the Wei army is at least 150,000! Deploy at least 70,000 troops in Chencang, and the rest will bypass Chencang in two ways, go deep into our army's stronghold, and occupy favorable terrain!"
