The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty came to Hanzhong in person, which greatly boosted the morale of the military and civilians in Hanzhong.

But there are pros and cons.

For Zhuge Liang, how to ensure the safety of the Son of Heaven has become the most important event above this battle.

The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty took out such priceless treasures and handed them over to Wei Yan, which is enough to explain his attitude:

The spies can't find out the situation of the Wei army, so you can give me a top.

The safety of the Son of Heaven is more important than anything else.

Wei Yan understood his intentions, and immediately gathered his men and set off from the southern end of the Meridian Valley to find the Wei army.

In fact, even if you want to help with a long mirror, it is very difficult to find out the reality of the Wei army from a distance.

The clouds and mist were steaming on it, and with the help of telescopes, I could only vaguely see some flags and erected watchtowers.

However, Wei Yan was given a death order by the prime minister, and he must find out the situation of the Wei army.

At that moment, he led people and quietly approached the Wei army camp, and found a high place close to the Wei army to observe carefully.

It didn't matter if he looked at it, but it made him see a little clue.

He didn't dare to slack off, and climbed two hills in a row, looked all the way, and finally determined: Cao Thief set up banners in many places, but there was no corresponding number.

To put it simply, it's a hypothesis.

This trick may have deceived others, but Wei Yan has led the army for many years, and when he can see the situation in the other party's camp clearly, he feels a little strange at first glance.

Then I looked at it more carefully, and I knew this strangeness in my heart.

He didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly withdrew from the valley, returned to Hanzhong, and reported the matter to the prime minister.

"Hypothetical?"

When Zhuge Liang heard Wei Yan's report, his heart "chuckled", and he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Really?"

"How dare you make a false report about such a thing?" Wei Yan replied, "I look at the Cao thief, at most 30,000, and as little as 20,000. ”

"Prime Minister, since we already know about the situation of Cao Thief, why don't we think of breaking it?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "It is difficult to travel in the Meridian Valley, it is difficult for thieves to reach Hanzhong, and it is difficult for Hanzhong to go to thieves." What I am worried about is, where is Cao Zhen now? ”

Zhuge Liang walked to the sand table, frowned, and his face showed worry.

"Could it be that Cao thief wants to do the old things of the prime minister and attract our attention with a suspicious army, but in fact, Sima Yi, who has traced the Han River from Jingzhou, is the main force?"

Wei Yan thought of a possibility.

Sima Yi is going upriver along Hanzhong, and Nanxiang has already reported it.

It's just that now it is raining heavily in Hanzhong, the Han water is surging, it is difficult to sail, and the journey is extremely slow.

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "It's impossible, marching into Hanzhong, for Cao Thief, is a major event of the country, and it is impossible for Cao Zhen not to come in person." ”

"And if Sima Yi is the army that invaded Hanzhong this time, it would be easier. In the past, Nanxiang built many dock forts along the Han River, and our army was next to Nanxiang, so why be afraid? ”

The more Zhuge Liang spoke, the more worried his face became.

At this time, only the sergeant was heard to report: "Your Majesty has arrived." ”

Because Chenggu County is next to Nanxiang, it was used by Feng Yong as the food supply base of Nanxiang Workshop a few years ago.

Therefore, Shuangnan Avenue starts from Nanxiang, first to Chenggu, and then to Nanzheng.

Tianzi drove from Nanzheng and could go directly along the avenue to Dagu.

Adou and the queen had long heard of the name of Shuangnan Avenue, and now they could walk on such artificial stone avenues in person, and they couldn't stop marveling all the way.

Zhang Xingcai did not enter the barracks, so he stayed in Chenggu City.

"Father, this Hanzhong really looks better than Jincheng."

When Adou saw Zhuge Liang in the camp, he was still excited, "The road is flat, whether it is driving or riding horses, or the road, it is all unimpeded." ”

"I heard that this avenue was built in the early years, why not pave such an avenue over there in Jincheng?"

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this road is good, but the cost is also expensive." Lao Chen also asked Feng Mingwen to build a road from Nanzheng to Fu County, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked the Han Dynasty to pay taxes for three years. ”

"Three years?!"

Adou was taken aback.

Now the Han Dynasty pays taxes equivalent to two million yuan a year, three years...... Adou counted with his fingers, isn't that six million?

The emperor swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, and secretly said that this Feng Mingwen was really bold and dared to open such a big mouth to his father.

"That'...... Did the father agree? ”

Adou asked curiously.

In the days he spent in Nanzheng, of course, he knew that there was also a road from Nanzheng to Fu County.

Although it is not as easy to walk as Shuangnan Avenue, it is also a rare official road.

"Where did the big man get so much money and food?" The prime minister smiled and said, "Later, at the cost of exempting Nanxiang from all taxes, the old minister asked him to replace the conscription with an engineering team. ”

"In the end, I made up some money and food, which can be regarded as repaired. Together with the rebuilding of the Golden Bull Road from Jincheng to Hanzhong, it is also the same method. ”

"However, because the Taurus Road is related to the livelihood of many people, the government and the opposition have given full support, and the repair is smooth."

Listening to his father's words, Adou couldn't help but secretly say in his heart:

This Feng Mingwen has a way to scatter wealth, and this wealth collection is also a skill! The treasury of the Han Dynasty has become more and more abundant over the years, no wonder his father indulges him so much.

Adou was thinking about it here, only to hear Zhuge Liang ask again: "Your Majesty, the Cao thief is attacking, this Chenggu is very likely to become the front of the battle, why did Your Majesty personally commit the danger?" ”

"Oh, oh, my father didn't mention it, I almost forgot!"

As soon as he said this, Adou suddenly looked excited again, and saw him lower his voice: "Father, Siniang, uh, it's Shanggong in the palace who sent news from Longyou." ”

"Feng Mingwen led the army out of Xiao Pass, and he has sent Guan Suo to break Wushi City and Jingyang City, and now he is entering Anding County."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his body shook suddenly, and he actually lost his voice and shouted: "Is this true?!" ”

"Nature is true!"

Ah Dou rubbed his hands, and the excitement on his face never disappeared, "I heard that Feng Mingwen also led the cavalry army alone and went to Yuezhi City, but I don't know how the battle situation is now?" ”

"If the Yuezhi City is broken, then Linjing will be in the hands of my Han ......"

He said to himself, but he looked up and saw his father, but he saw that the other party was pale and stood on the spot.

"Father......

Cao Zhen...... Cao really means to be in Longyou! ”

Zhuge Liang suddenly came out with a sentence that Adou couldn't understand, he turned around suddenly, spread out the map of Hanzhong, and compared the sand table of Hanzhong.

Adou looked at Xiang's father and muttered to himself, and he didn't know what he was saying.

I saw my father's fingers moving on the map with some trembling tremors, and finally clicked on a point: "Here, here!" ”

Adou fixed his eyes and saw that there was the word Wangxian on it.

Zhuge Liang lifted it and looked at Adou, "Your Majesty, when did this news from Shanggong come over?" ”

"When I first set off this morning......"

Zhang Xingyi has always been in contact with the palace, and the news has never been broken, so the emperor got the news of Longyou, which was half a day faster than the news of the official document of the Longyou Governor's Office.

This is not surprising.

After all, the official document needs to be stamped with the big seal of the school captain's mansion first, and then with the big seal of the Jicheng Governor's Mansion.

It's just that Adou didn't understand why Father Xiang heard the news, and his face changed greatly, "Father Xiang, isn't it a good thing that Feng Mingwen is a thief?" ”

"It's a good thing, but it's also a bad thing."

Zhuge Liang's face was still extremely ugly, "Your Majesty, Cao Zhen's threat to march from the Meridian Valley is really just a suspicious soldier under his banner. ”

Combined with the news obtained by Wei Yan, if Zhuge Liang still can't react, then he will be the prime minister of the Han Dynasty in vain.

"Feng Yongpo entered Linjing, and he didn't meet Cao Zhen, so Cao Zhen is most likely to be in Wangxian County."

From Huangxian to the west, it is to enter the Guanlong Avenue of Longyou, where the most important pass of Longyou - Longguan.

At the same time, in addition to Longguan, there is also a mountain road from Wangxian County, which leads directly to Luoyang.

Although this mountain road is not as easy to walk as Guanlong Avenue, it can still be used for cavalry.

Zhang He came from this mountain back then, and the Northern Expedition plan almost fell short.

If Cao Zhen secretly assembled a large army in Wangxian, then it is very likely that he was going to march from Huangxian to Longyou.

Longyou didn't send the news, and the only thing Cao Zhen didn't expect was the continuous heavy rain in Hanzhong.

The skyrocketing of the Han River prevented Sima Yi from reaching Hanzhong in time to drag the Hanzhong army.

So he's waiting.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang broke out in a cold sweat.

Although Longguan is dangerous, it is not foolproof.

Now Feng Yong's strategic mobile force is far from stable, and the Longyou Governor's Mansion has 30,000 horses, which not only has to resist Cao Zhen's army in the east, but also prevents changes in Liangzhou, which is extremely stressful.

"Someone!"

Zhuge Liang couldn't care about the Son of Heaven present, he turned around and called loudly.

"I've seen Cheng ...... Your Majesty, I have seen the Prime Minister. ”

Li Yi, who joined the army, was listening to orders outside the door at any time, and when he heard the prime minister's call, he hurriedly came in.

"Go, send someone on the way, if you see the official document from the Longyou faction, send it over immediately."

Li Yi saw that the prime minister had an anxious look on his face, so he hurriedly responded and hurried out.

"Let Yang Yi come over!"

Zhuge Liang sat down as he spoke, and began to handwrite urgent letters.

After Yang Yi came in, before he could speak, Zhuge Liang handed him a warrant: "Immediately pass it to Longyou and let Feng Yong return from Anding!" Fast! ”

"Let Jiang Wei in!"

After Jiang Wei came in, he only heard the prime minister's instructions: "I will give you 10,000 horses, you go to Longyou quickly and obey the dispatch of General Zhao." Remember, you have to get there as soon as possible, without delay. ”

Watching Xiang's father hurriedly call people in again and again, Adou finally began to worry as well.

After Zhuge Liang finished arranging, Adou had the courage to ask: "Father, is Longyou in danger?" ”

Zhuge Liang's gaze fell on the sand table again, and he shook his head, "Originally, Longyou was in danger, but now it should be fine." ”

Adou breathed a sigh of relief.

Who knew that Zhuge Liang's next sentence made him almost jump: "What I have to worry about now is Feng Yong." ”

"Feng Yong has an engineering battalion in his hands, and he is very good at attacking cities. The day when the Captain's Mansion broke Wushi City and Jingyang City was ten days ago at most, I am afraid that Feng Yong has already captured Anding at this time. ”

"Settle down the city, Guanzhong will definitely shake, Cao Zhen originally wanted to attack Longguan and Luoyang from Wangxian, I am afraid that after he knows the news of stability, he will lead the army to the north."

Zhuge Liang endured his anxious mood and carefully told the Son of Heaven the details:

"From Huangxian to the north, there is a way back to the middle road, which goes directly to Xiaoguan. This road was ordered to be overhauled by Emperor Xiaowu, and it is a flat road that can be used for a large army. ”

"If Cao Zhen goes north from the Huizhong Road, attacks Xiao Pass, and cuts off Feng Yong's back road......"

Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang couldn't say any more.

Adou swallowed with difficulty, he is not a fool, even if he can't read the map, he can understand the sand table.

If Feng Yong had really broken through Linjing, it would be regarded as going deep into the enemy territory.

If you can't return in time, I'm afraid that you will be blocked on the side of Longshan.

Cao Zhen...... Will it pass through the back to the middle way? ”

Adou looked at his father with hope.

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "Cao Zhen is not a fool, as long as Feng Yong's back road is cut off, he will be stable and self-determined." ”

Such a simple thing, how could Cao Zhen, as the Great Sima of Wei State, not see it?

"The matter...... It's the minister's fault! ”

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes in pain, "I thought that the heavy rain in Hanzhong would make it difficult for the Cao thief army to walk, and the old minister only thought that he would be able to break the thief army this time, but he didn't expect ......"

Careless!

It's really careless!

Over the years, the Han Dynasty has been too smooth, which has made everyone have a contempt for the Wei State.

But I forgot that the Wei State used to be ten times as large as the Han Dynasty.

Even now, that's five or six times as much.

Just the suspicious soldiers and the Jingzhou men and horses can drag most of the Hanzhong army.

And Cao Zhen can calmly arrange heavy troops to attack Longyou.

This time, Adou came to the barracks to look for his father, but he was beaten with a dull stick, which made his eyes glaze with gold stars.

Zhang Xingcai, who was waiting outside, was shocked when he saw Adou coming back in despair:

"Why is Your Majesty's face so bad?"

Adou reacted at this time, he looked around, and waved his hand, "You will all go down, and you must not approach without orders." ”

After retreating, Adou told Zhang Xingcai what his father in the barracks had told him.

"Feng Yong is in danger?"

Rao is Zhang Xingcai is scheming, and when he heard the news at this time, he was also confused for a while.

"Not necessarily."

Seeing that the queen was panicked, Adou hurriedly comforted, "Father Xiang also said that this matter is just his speculation, not necessarily the truth." ”

"Before there is no news from Longyou, the queen should not spread it out, so as not to disturb people's hearts."

Zhang Xingcai nodded, she knew the severity.

It's just that Xiang's father is very intelligent, and when he heard His Majesty say that Xiangfu had sent people to Longyou to support, then there is a chance that this matter is already true.

I saw Zhang Xingcai gritting his teeth and saying: "In this way, this time, Feng Mingwen took the danger for Longyou?" ”

Adou nodded, his face full of worry: "Feng Mingwen is too good at fighting, and the thief is too fast......"

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about!"

It was obviously this kind of time that made people extremely worried, but when he heard Adou say such things, Zhang Xingcai was really angry and laughed.

It's just that now, she can only think on the bright side:

"If the concubine wants to come, then Feng Mingwen is used to cutting off people's back roads, and if he wants to come, he will definitely pay attention to his own back roads, even if the army of the school captain's mansion can't escape, he will definitely have a way to come back."
