Chapter 141

Luoyang City, which is located in the Central Plains, is not too cold in winter, and generally fluctuates around 0°.But for Sima Zhao, such a temperature is really a life-and-death test.

According to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the blood vessels of the human body will contract in winter-the blood pressure will automatically rise.At the same time, due to the constriction of blood vessels, the cross-section becomes smaller, and the flow of blood becomes more slow and difficult.All of the above, for Sima Zhao who suffers from high blood pressure and coronary heart disease, the symptoms will become particularly serious every winter.

Fortunately, although people in this era didn't fully understand why some diseases would get worse in winter, Sima Zhao also knew that his body would be more comfortable in a warm environment as the so-called chronic illness makes a good doctor.So throughout the winter, he basically didn't go out, and hid at home. There were several braziers in the whole room, which burned vigorously at any time.

Since the beginning of winter, Sima Zhao's mood is generally not bad.Zhong Hui first captured Yang'an Pass and entered Zitong.This is a major military victory that Cao Wei has never achieved since the founding of the country.Therefore, in October, he was successfully granted the Duke of Jin.

Although Zhong Hui's daily reports have been stagnant in Jiange since October, Sima Zhao is not very worried - if it is impossible, he just needs to go back.Moreover, isn't there still Deng Ai walking Jinggu Road?
At the end of November, Sima Zhao received a report from Deng Ai, saying that he had successfully walked out of no-man's land and successfully captured Jiangyou.

On December [-], I received another report from Deng Ai, saying that the last formed army of the Shu Han had been wiped out, CD, and there was no army worthy of a war.

On the day when he received this report, Sima Zhao drank a lot of alcohol, which was rare for a long time. He had not been in the mood for a long time, and he actually tossed the two beautiful maids for a long time that night.

Finally, Sima Zhao is a hero who has experienced a lot of wind and waves. Although he was extremely excited, he still didn't rush to call his subordinates and let them start the campaign to seal the king.In his opinion, no matter how close something is, as long as it is not swallowed, it cannot be regarded as a real acquisition.

It was this politician's composure that prevented Sima Zhao from losing his face because of the divine turning point later.

Late at night on December 21, Sima Zhao received an urgent report from Chang'an Du Yu.

After quickly scanning the report with his eyes, cold sweat rolled out from Sima Zhao's forehead. He stood up, walked quickly with his hands behind his back, and then ran to the map hanging on the wall of the dormitory. Before, after looking at it by the candlelight, he made a trembling voice: "Changping... This is the siege of Changping..."

Then he fell down with a "boom" and fell unconscious.

Fortunately, Mr. Xiangguo's syncope is very common. The servants below know how to deal with it, and the imperial doctor next door is also on duty [-]/[-].So, when Wang Yuanji, Sima Yan, Sima You, Jia Chong, Pei Xiu and others rushed to receive the news, Sima Zhao had already woken up.

All the people who understood the process of the incident were all shocked.Cartographer Pei Xiu trembled all over: "So, so it is. The reason why the Battle of Changping was able to break into such a situation is because of borrowing the power of mountains and rivers!"

"Since Ji Yan already knows what happened, is there a way to save him?"

Hearing Jia Chong's inquiry, Pei Xiu's face turned pale: "Du Yuankai's method is already the best. But it's still too late!"

Pei Xiu was right: the proposal submitted by Du Yu was already the best one.But there are also huge problems in implementation.

Due to the weakness of the Xiongnu in recent years, the army of Bingzhou is not strong in combat effectiveness.Even if such an army rushes to the Hanzhong battlefield, how effective can a mere 2 people play?Besides, although Bingzhou is not far from Luoyang in a straight line, the transportation between them is actually not very convenient. Even if Bingzhou's troops start to mobilize at this time, it will be impossible to set off without a month.

And what about the Chinese army in Luoyang?It can also be sent, and as the most elite army.The central army in Luoyang can start quickly as soon as the order is given.But no matter how fast it is, it will take about a month to enter the Hanzhong Basin after all the personnel and logistical work is done.As for the Qingxu front army, it is still a matter of whether those soldiers in the field can fight. Even if the order is given now, they will not be able to reach Hanzhong in less than three months.

"Hey~~~ Zhong Shiji, I'm so lonely!" Sima Zhao, who took a breath, only complained to Zhong Hui lightly, and immediately returned to normal: "Gonglu, you go to Xiapi yourself. Let Meng Jian (Wang Zhao, whose father is the legendary Wang Xiang who lay on the ice and begged for carp) immediately counted Qingxu’s field soldiers, and asked him to hand over at least [-] field soldiers to you, and then you brought them into Luoyang as soon as possible!”

"An Shi (Sima Yan), immediately write a letter on behalf of my father. Then Ji Yan rushed to Bingzhou with this letter. Let Bingzhou soldiers and horses be dispatched as soon as possible."

After Jia Chong and Pei Xiu took their orders to leave, Sima Zhao turned his eyes:
"Tao Fu (Sima You), you go to Zichu's (Sima Wang) residence immediately, and ask him to come over immediately."

"No!" Sima You cupped his hands and left immediately.Only Sima Zhao, Sima Yan and Wang Yuanji were left in the room.

"This time to attack Shu, we have lost! The one hundred thousand Chinese army has little chance of surviving!"

After gritting his teeth, Sima Zhao stared at Sima Yan viciously and said, "An Shi, do you want to be the emperor or do you want to be wiped out after your father dies of illness!"

The 28-year-old Sima Yan faced Sima Zhao without fear and said, "Of course my son wants to be emperor!"

"Okay, now block the news for my father. Tomorrow, you immediately mobilize your group of cronies and friends to write a letter..."

……

On the other side, Jianye City.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please move to the Imperial Study Room. There is an urgent military message from the Dian School."

Sun Xiu, the current emperor of Soochow, is the sixth son of Sun Quan.I have always been in poor health and often fell ill.At this moment, it can be regarded as recovering from a serious illness again, and the whole person is already broken.But in any case, Sun Xiu is a relatively dedicated emperor, and he put on his clothes and got up immediately after hearing about the emergency military situation.

When they came to the study, Prime Minister Puyang Xing, General Zuo Zhang Bu, and General Ding Feng had been waiting for a long time.

The current prime minister of Soochow, Puyang Xing, once served as the prefect of Kuaiji for a long time. At that time, Sun Xiu, the king of Langya, lived in Kuaiji.Pu Yangxing tried his best to curry favor, and the two parties have a good personal relationship.After Sun Liang was abolished and Sun Xiu took office, Pu Yangxing's official position rose steadily.Now it is the entire Soochow Wu where one person is under one person and over ten thousand people.

The left general Zhang Bu was the chief guard of the palace when Sun Xiu was the prince.After Sun Xiu became the emperor, of course he became the chief guard of the entire Soochow Palace, holding the most elite Trouble-Free and Trouble-Relief armies of Soochow in his hands.

But to be honest, the talents of these two people are scumbags.Personal morality is even more rubbish... Sun Xiu also doomed Wu Guo to be in his hands because he reused these two people, and there would be no great improvement.

Now in this room, the only capable people are the veterans who have fought all the way since the Sun Ce era: Ding Feng and Ding Chengyuan.This is the last person in the entire Soochow regime who has witnessed the majesty of the little bully.As a great hero who helped Sun Xiu kill Sun Chen, turning him from a puppet into a real emperor, Ding Feng naturally gained Sun Xiu's respect and trust.

"Your Majesty, the situation is like this. This Guan Yi Guan Zifeng of Western Shu is really amazing! He actually reproduced the siege of Changping more than 500 years ago. Wei's [-] troops are almost finished!"

"Hiss~~~ Isn't the Kingdom of Shu about to perish? How can there be such a good general to save the world! Hey, if I can have such a good general...uh, General, I feel it, please... ..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about it. Guan Zifeng's talent is not as good as yours!"

"Then everyone, what should I, Da Wu, do now to get the maximum benefit from this shocking change?"

"Your Majesty, first of all, we need to take back the army of Jianping County. Now, some of the Xishu troops who came down from the Xindu battlefield have rushed to Padang. If we continue to station there, it will have no effect except to make Xishu hate us. "

"Quite! What else does the general want me to do?"

"If Wei Guo still wants to restore the situation, he must dispatch troops and horses to go west to Chang'an again. My Great Wu's enemies on the other side of the Yangtze River will not receive any support. This is a golden opportunity. I also ask Your Majesty to send out trouble-free and trouble-free soldiers." One, and issued a strict decree to urge all the great families. Let them send out the main force and attack Hefei City with all their strength. Before the end of this war between Wei and Shu, we must at least take Hefei!"

"Shan, General Zuo, draw up an order for me immediately. Well, Prime Minister, do you have anything to say?"

"Uh, Your Majesty, should our Great Wu send an envoy to Xishu to express our congratulations?"

"Well, the two sides are allies, of course it should be. But this messenger..."

"Your Majesty, I, the Governor of Xiling in Great Wu, and Guan Zifeng in Xishu are inseparable friendships."

"Good, then decree that Xiling Governor Buxie be an envoy to Xishu."

"Also, Your Majesty, I heard from Governor Xiling that Guan Zifeng's family members are currently in Fuling County."

"Well, the prime minister will prepare the next gift later. It doesn't need to be too heavy. It would be nice if it could represent my heart."

"According to the order."

……

December 24.

At this time, Fuling County, because Guan Yi took away too many people, compared with the bustling scene in previous years, it seemed much deserted.

With a sound of "Zhi acridine", Qiao Qiang walked out of the simple prefect's mansion with a big belly.

That's right, Guan Yi's wife is pregnant again.During Guan Yi's two months of expedition, his figure became more and more obvious.

"Rhubarb, Xiao Hei, don't run around in the street for a while, and don't steal food from other people's houses. Come on, put on the muzzle."

"Hoho~~~"

Accompanied by two tigers and several maids, Qiao Qiang and his party walked to the streets of Fuling County.

"Hello Madam!"

"Hehe, Boss Wang is fine too."

"Hello madam, hey! Rhubarb, Xiao Hei, I have the freshest wild pork here, do you want to try some?"

"Hehehe, if Boss Song lets them taste it and don't ask the concubine for money, I won't stop him."

"Hahaha, ma'am, you are joking. If the prefect hadn't kept the country, we would all be subjugated slaves now. A little bit of wild boar meat is fine, it's fine."

"Hey, my sister-in-law, why did you come out with these two troubles again?"

"Hehehe, Uncle Boyu. According to your elder brother, tigers are often taken out for a walk. It's okay, I put muzzles on them."

"That's good, that's good."

"Well, uncle, is there any new news from Zifeng?"

Qiao Qiang's voice was not loud, but this question quickly attracted the people of Fuling County.

"Yes, County Magistrate Chen, is there any new news?"

Faced with such a question, Chen Can could only shake his head and smile wryly: "The news on December [-]th said that the brothers led a team to raid Yang'an Pass, and they lost contact after that."

"Ah~~~"

"What the elder brothers are doing now has a huge scale. My younger brother can only feel shocked and admired after seeing it. If we win this battle, it will keep me safe for decades. If I lose..."

What is the outcome of defeat?In addition to the annihilation of the whole army, what else needs to be said?

After a while, a voice sounded: "Prefect Guan will never be defeated!"

"That's right. Fuling County has been in distress for so many years. After the arrival of the prefect Guan, it quickly achieved great rule. How could such a character be defeated?"

"The whole country has surrendered, so Guan Taishou will turn the tide and the country will be safe. Guan Taishou will never be defeated!"

"Yes, Madam, please rest assured to raise the baby. Maybe when the young master is born, the prefect will return in triumph!"

"Thank you, everyone..."

Just as everyone surrounded Qiao Qiang to pray for kindness, Chen Can's eyes suddenly twitched.

It was a man wearing a red tunic with a white dove pattern on the cuff.Chen Can knew that it was a professional staff member of the pigeon loft.

"County magistrate, the latest news from the pigeon house. There is news from the Jiange that the eunuchs have successfully captured Yang'an Pass! Now, the general has rectified his troops and is ready to rush out of the Jiange!"
