Regardless of whether the Shu Lu at both ends is elite or not, it is a fact that Yuezhi City and Jingyang City have been lost is a fact that cannot be changed.

Now Hu Zun is faced with two choices.

One is to retreat to Linjing and wait for reinforcements from Chang'an.

One is to give up Linjing and run back to Chang'an directly.

Although Anding County goes south, it has to pass through Xinping, Fuyi Hujun and other counties to reach Chang'an.

But since the loss of Longyou, except for Chang'an, most of the defenders in Guanzhong have been transferred to several important strongholds such as Wangxian and Chencang in Fufeng County, and the rest are placed in Anding.

Even the Beidi County, which was originally used as a barrier for Chang'an, is now guarded by local county soldiers.

If stability is lost, north of Chang'an, Shu Yu can basically drive straight down the Jingshui River and enter Jingzhao.

Thinking of this, Hu Zun asked with some trembling:

"Chang'an, did you send the news?"

At this time, he regretted it very much in his heart, if he had listened to Xiahouba's words, he would have pulled down his face and went directly to Chang'an to rescue.

Then retreat to Linjing now, and you can be a little more sure.

Hu Shoujiang naturally didn't know what Hu Zun was thinking, he heard Hu Zun's question, his face stiffened, and he said a little squeaky:

"As soon as Jingyang is lost, I will come over directly, wanting to remind General Xiahou and Taishou, besides, how dare I make my own decisions about such a major event?"

He is not shirking, after all, with his status, how can he be qualified to talk directly to Chang'an?

Hu Zun's heart was cold all of a sudden!

However, although he has this position today because of the stability of the Hu family, he still has some ability after all.

After determining that the matter was irreparable, he quickly reacted:

"The Shu Lu of Jingyang is only afraid that he is on the way to Linjing at this time, but fortunately, I will lead the army back in advance, and I will arrive in Linjing tomorrow, and it should be too late to come."

Thinking of this, he hurriedly wrote three handwritten letters, stamped his big seal, and after sealing them, he sent fast horses to Chang'an respectively.

When General Hu Shou saw Hu Zun sending the news to Chang'an, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Hu Zun was only concerned with arranging things to deal with the upcoming emergency, and he didn't notice Hu Shoujiang's somewhat unusual expression.

After arranging the matter, he asked General Hu Shou to rush back to Linjing first to get ready, and then he urged the army to hurry up.

No matter what the situation of the Shu captives at both ends of Yuezhi City and Jingyang City is, and no matter whether he wants to defend Linjing or retreat to Chang'an in the end, he has to go back first and find out the situation of Shu as much as possible.

Hu Shou will run back to Jingyang from Wushi City, then from Jingyang to Linjing, and then from Linjing to find Hu Zun, and now he is sent back to Linjing by Hu Zun.

These days, I have been running all the way, and I am really tired and tired.

He took Hu Zun's warrant, rushed back to Linjing, and ordered the whole city to be blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will, so that he could breathe a sigh of relief.

As for what will happen in the end, it depends on how his clan brother decides in the end, and it is none of his business.

After doing all this, he personally inspected the gates of the city to show his faithfulness.

The sudden closure of Linjing City made many people in the city panic.

A few days ago, there was a rumor that Shu Yu sent troops from Xiaoguan to settle down.

Two days ago, there were rumors that Wushi City and Jingyang City had been lost, so that many people had begun to pack up their gold and silver and prepare to flee south to Chang'an.

Now that Linjing is suddenly closed down, it seems that the rumors are true, but I am afraid that Shu Lu is about to come.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion and rumors in the city.

Those who were preparing to flee south and were too late to leave the city were particularly anxious, and no one was asking around for information about when they would be able to get out of the city.

One of them, when he saw General Hu Shou leading his soldiers to inspect, directly found a gap and shouted:

"This general, a certain person from Hebei who is stranded and stable, is now in a hurry to return to the township, dare to ask when the city gate will be opened?"

Hu Shoujiang turned around impatiently and said:

"When to open the city gate, you have to be the master, a certain ...... Well? Well! ”

Halfway through his speech, he saw the face of the person who came clearly, and his eyes widened immediately: "It's you!" ”

When the people who came saw Hu Shoujiang, they secretly screamed bitterly!

"It's not me, it's not me, the general has recognized the wrong person!"

Shi Bao hurriedly hid his face and wanted to escape.

It's just that Hu Shoujiang can only allow him to run away, and shouts at the moment: "This person is meticulous, catch it quickly!" ”

Not to mention the soldiers below, even the surrounding soldiers, at this sensitive moment, as soon as they heard General Hu Shou shouting like this, they immediately shouted in unison, knocked down Shi Bao, and pressed him to a solid knot.

Shi Bud was pressed at the bottom, only to feel that there was a weight of 10,000 catties on his body, and he didn't catch his breath, and his eyes suddenly went dark!

"A certain ...... Isn't so...... Thin...... Secret agents! ”

He only felt that he had less air in and more air out, so he had to puff up his last breath and shout intermittently.

It's just that his voice is weak, not to mention that people can't hear what he's shouting, even if they do, who will listen to him?

General Hu Shou stepped forward, separated the crowd, and asked the soldiers to tie him up.

When the soldier tied up someone, he only felt that his body was bulging, and he reached out and took out a lot of good things, including a few pieces of paper, which were extremely exquisite.

Hu Shoujiang took it over and saw that it was actually a sugar ticket and a cloth ticket, and his eyes lit up at the moment, pointing to the stone bud and saying:

"Dare to say that you are not a fine worker, neither a stable person, why do you have so much gold and silver? How do you explain these tickets? ”

For Kanto, these tickets may be nothing more than a piece of paper.

But for those who have access to Guanzhong near Longyou and Hanzhong, the Han people's sugar stamps and cloth stamps are simply harder than five baht coins.

Because the Han people will have a special caravan every year, as long as they take these tickets, they can go and exchange real brown sugar and wool with them.

It's not that no one has ever had the idea of forging these tickets, it's just that the tickets of the Han people, whether they are paper or ink, are all high-quality items made with unique secret recipes.

Just saying that this accidentally got wet, as long as you don't crush it, the font on it won't blur after drying, it's enough to be amazing.

Not to mention, it is rumored that there is a unique secret word on it, which only the Han people can see.

Therefore, the ticket taken out of Shi Bao's arms, except for the Han people, no one can make it at all.

Shi Bao shouted that he was wronged: "General, these votes are Guan ......"

At this point, his face turned pale and he couldn't shout anymore.

General Kwan ...... Isn't it the general of the Han Chinese?

Others may not have noticed the word "guan", but Hu Shoujiang is very sensitive to this word.

As soon as Shi Bao mentioned this word, Hu Shoujiang immediately remembered the matter of Jingyang.

At that moment, he couldn't wait to kill Shi Bud on the spot to relieve his hatred: this thief is really hateful, if it weren't for this thief's rumors to deceive people's hearts, how could Jingyang City be lost so easily?

It's all the thief's fault!

It's just that he didn't say that his clan brother Taishou let him close the city, but he didn't say what to do next.

Even the final decision within the clan is unknown.

This person first spread rumors in Jingyang City, and now he came to Linjing with gold and silver tickets, and his purpose is self-evident.

Thinking of this, Hu Shoujiang had no choice but to endure his evil anger and shouted:

"Put this fine work on death row, no one is allowed to approach it!"

If the clan decides to cooperate with the Han Chinese, if not, let's see how I brew you!

As for the things on Shi Bao's body, they were naturally searched, which made General Hu Shou make a big windfall.

Over the years, Shibud has been carrying the word luck.

Last time I didn't die in Jingyang, I thought it had been transferred, but I didn't expect these belongings to be thrown out again before they were covered with heat on my body.

At the moment, he almost doubted life: Could it be that I was really born a poor ghost? Can't get your hands on money?

In September of the eighth year of Jianxing, Feng Yongbing, the captain of the Han Huqiang school, went out of Xiaoguan, sent Guan Suo to lead the army to attack Wushi and Jingyang, and led the elite cavalry to attack the Yuezhi City.

Most of the Wei army in Anding County was led by Feng Yong, and Guan Suo took the opportunity to quickly break through the two cities of Wushi and Jingyang, opened the gateway to Anding, and forced the county to govern Linjing.

Feng Yong used a plan to break the moon branch city, and responded with Guan Suo Yao, and attacked Linjing.

Xian Yufu, the guard general of the Wei army in Chang'an, learned that Jingyang City and Yuezhi City were lost, and led the Chang'an army north overnight to rescue Anding.

I didn't know that I was halfway through the road, and I got the news that Hu Zun had surrendered the city.

Xian Yufu was taken aback, so he had to garrison Xinping County to prevent Shu Lu from continuing to move south, and at the same time sent fast horses to inform Cao Zhen in the south of the news of the fall of Anding County.

The news of the loss of one of the northern barriers of Chang'an greatly shocked Guanzhong.

Countless fast horses passed through Tongguan and galloped all the way to Xuchang.

When it was decided to let Cao Zhen send troops to attack Shu, Cao Rui went east to tour Xuchang.

On the surface, it was to inspect the old capital, but in fact, it was to prevent Soochow from taking the opportunity to send troops.

The news of the loss of stability reached Xuchang, which shocked the ministers who followed him.

There was also news from Guanzhong, saying that Cao Zhen led the army in the Meridian Valley, because of the continuous heavy rain, the plank road was destroyed, and the army had to dig the road.

It's almost a month now, but we're only halfway there.

Shaofu Yang Fu has always been upright, and when he learned about the war in Guanzhong, he was so anxious that he wrote overnight:

"Today, Wu and Shu are not peaceful, and the sky has changed repeatedly, and the armies have begun to advance, and there will be the trouble of rain, and the danger of Jiqi Mountain has accumulated day by day. The labor of transshipment, the pain of burden, the cost has been too much, if there is continuous, it will be contrary to this map. ”

"Today, Da Sima has trapped the six armies in the valley, and there is nothing to advance, and there is no way to retreat, which is not the way of the king's soldiers!"

Cao Rui replied: "Da Sima is the master of all things in Guanxi, and he must have his own ideas. And the military situation in front of the battle is changing, how can we be thousands of miles away? ”

Wang Lang had just died in the sixth year of Jianxing, and his son Wang Su served as a regular attendant of the loose cavalry, and followed Yang Fu to persuade Cao Rui:

"The marchers on the ordinary road have thousands of miles to feed food, the soldiers are hungry, and the soldiers are not full. What's more, Da Sima went deep into the danger, and when it rained, the mountains were slippery. ”

"The army cannot be stretched in the deep mountains and valleys, and the grain and grass are far more difficult than the ordinary road, which is really a taboo for marchers!"

"Now there are fierce thieves Feng thieves, invade the north and settle down, disturb Guanzhong, the army is trapped in the deep mountains and valleys, if it is disturbed by the thieves copying the trail and cannot return to Guanzhong in time, then Feng thieves have no one to control, and Guanzhong is in danger!"

Cao Rui replied: "That's too much! Can Feng Thief be so arrogant? I heard that this person is in Shudi, and he is known for his clever words, but he is just a villain who takes advantage of the situation! ”

When Yang Fu, who was on the side, heard this, he was immediately furious and reprimanded loudly:

"Feng Thief is cunning, and he is good at using soldiers, can An be underestimated? Dare to ask Your Majesty, how many people in the Great Wei Army can be compared with General Zhang He? ”

Cao Rui was speechless.

Yang Fu was reasonable: "The minister has ruled Guanyou for a long time, and he knows that Qiang Hu is unruly, and the Feng thief has only been in Longyou for three years, and he has won the heart of Qiang Hu." ”

"If it is allowed to be stabilized, it can intersect with the Hu people in the north of Beidi County, and reproduce the matter of Longyou Qiang Hu in the middle of the time, and Guanzhong is only afraid that it will no longer be owned by Great Wei!"

The so-called Longyou Qianghu matter, refers to the second year of Taihe, Shu Yu took advantage of the great Wei unprepared, attacked Longyou, Qianghu heard the name of Feng thief, betrayed Wei and followed the thief.

Zhang He and Feng Thief fought in the street pavilion and couldn't hold each other, but in the end, they were attacked by Qiang Hu from behind, and they were defeated.

Beidi County is located directly north of Chang'an and is one of the most important barriers in Guanzhong.

"If the Hu people in the north of Beidi County also follow the matter of Longyou Qiang Hu, then there will be Feng thieves in the northwest and rebel Hu in the north."

"Coupled with Zhao Yun in Longyou and Ge Thief in Hanzhong, Chang'an is an enemy on three sides, why defend it? Dawei had no other way but to withdraw from Guanzhong. ”

Cao Rui was helpless, so he had to respond: "In this case, then I will pass the edict to Da Sima and let him retreat." ”

"That's exactly how it should be."

After receiving the emperor's promise to withdraw the army, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

How do you know that Cao Rui was discussing political affairs and returned to the harem, and his face changed on the spot.

"What a bastard! Xiahou Ba is really incompetent! There are 20,000 elite soldiers in Stability, how can they not even hold it for ten days? ”

His face was full of distorted anger, and he gritted his teeth and scolded:

"Feng thief counts my big things, it's really my great hatred! If you can catch it in the future, you will eat its flesh and blood! ”

remembered Xiahou Xuan (Xiahou Shang's son) who despised himself and disdained the queen's brother;

Xiahou Nan (Xiahou Xuan's son) sold military rations again, resulting in the Guanzhong army being unable to recover Longyou;

Now that Xiahou Ba (Xiahou Yuan's son) is coming out like this again, Cao Rui is so angry that he is beating the case again, and he makes a "bang":

"The three Xiahou families are all relatives of the royal family, but now they are not beneficial to the Cao family, and they are still dragging down the royal family, what is the use of coming!"

His words were originally angry words, but they were just angry words, but he didn't want to be heard by his close servant Lian and secretly remembered them.

Lian Zhao is Cao Rui's new minister, who is quite good at talking and doing things, and likes to remember the small mistakes of his ministers to repay the emperor and gain the emperor's trust.

Some time ago, Liu Ye was greedy in front of Cao Rui, and his words made Chen Jiao have an authoritarian heart.

Chen Jiao was afraid, and Lian Zhao wanted to bring down Liu Ye in order to win the emperor's favor.

Lian Zhao took the opportunity to join forces with Chen Jiao and exposed Liu Ye's side of figuring out his intentions in front of Cao Rui.

Cao Rui didn't believe it at first, but later tried it with the opposite intention in his heart, and it was really as Lian Zhao said, so he alienated Liu Ye.

Liu Ye first heard that Cao Rui said that he wanted to live in Chang'an, but later saw that the emperor went to Xuchang, and he was already worried.

Later, Lian Zhao thought of a way to let him know about the emperor's temptation of him, and Liu Ye finally broke down and went crazy.

Seeing this, Cao Rui was even more disgusted with Liu Ye, so he dismissed his position as a servant and became the Great Honglu.

Lian Zhaoyu became more and more noble.
