Zhao Hao could feel Wei Yan's blazing fighting spirit, he had always wanted to make good use of Wei Yan's power, and now that Wei Yan took the initiative to come to the door, he would naturally not let him down.

"General Wenchang, I am not familiar with the imperial court, if you have someone you know, please hand him a sentence, just say that I, Zhao Hao, will always be loyal to the Han family, and will never do anything that goes against the entrustment of the first emperor."

"The meaning of the champion Hou Fist should be conveyed to the imperial court."

"One more thing...... I have already inquired that the assassination of the Marquis of Long was instructed by Li Miao, a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, behind his back, and this kind of anger and resentment is just a small skill of carving insects, separating me from the Son of Heaven, and asking the Son of Heaven to investigate and behead Li Miao to thank the world! ”

Wei Yan widened his eyes and said loudly: "Wei Yan is willing to help the champion Hou calm the world and prosper the Han together!" ”

He has long heard that Li Miao has deep roots in Yizhou, and he is quite respected by the Yizhou scholars, and Zhao Hao publicly declared war with him this time, indicating that he is ready to turn his face with the Yizhou scholars.

At that time, Wei Yanjun, who was stationed in Hanzhong, was particularly important, and he would be able to open the door of Yizhou by taking refuge in Zhao Hao, and if he took refuge in Yizhou, he would be able to block the Shu Road.

If Zhao Hao wants to enter the King of Chengdu Qin, he must win over Wei Yan in order to have no worries, and if he wants to continue the eastward crusade in Yongzhou, he also needs Wei Yan to guarantee the rear.

As for how Zhao Hao knew that all this was done by Li Miao, it was not for Wei Yan to consider.

Even if Li Miao was completely innocent, as long as Zhao Hao identified him as the murderer, Wei Yan was willing to put pressure on the imperial court as the Taishou of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing Wei Yan so upright, Zhao Hao also reciprocated the favor and said: "This time, our army attacked Yongxian County and killed Cao Zhen, and the Wei army has opened the door.

However, our army is short of troops, and we also ask Wei Taishou to send troops to help break Chang'an! ”

Wei Yan has been waiting for this day for a long time, he thinks he is a famous general, how can he be unknown in the Northern Expedition,

"Champion Hou rest assured, Yanding should do his best for Champion Hou to drive!"

Zhao Hao nodded and said: "Now our army is progressing quite smoothly, and after breaking through the martial arts, I will also ask Wei Taishou to join forces with our army, and when the time comes, we will go east together and fight Chang'an together!" ”

Wei Yan's blood was full of excitement, and he nodded again and again: "Wei Yan understands, I will go back to Hanzhong now, and wait for the champion Hou to summon!" ”

can participate in the attack on the famous city of Chang'an, and will definitely be able to leave a name in history in the future.

Wei Yan was very confident in his ability to attack fortifications, and if he participated in the Battle of Chang'an, he would definitely be the first Han general to attack Chang'an City.

As the Northern Expedition continued to progress, Wei Yan began to feel that his Hanzhong Taishou was a little small, and only by constantly fighting could he grab greater benefits.

Zhao Hao also breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Wei Yan's promise.

To start a war with the scholars in Yizhou, he had to make preparations with two hands, on the one hand, he used Wei Yan to threaten Chengdu, emulating Ma Chao's help to Liu Bei to enter Chengdu, and on the other hand, he helped Chen Yi, so that the scholars in Yizhou could see that there was also a certain space for cooperation between the two sides.

Do these well, but Zhao Hao is still worried in his heart,

Li Miao had to get rid of it, but would his own thunderous means arouse Liu Chan's fear and dissatisfaction?

He doesn't want to be Cao Cao and Sima Zhao, if he can, he wants to form a good story of harmony with Liu Chan like Zhuge Liang in history.

But now it's difficult to ride a tiger, and it can only depend on God's will.

·

It had begun to snow in Chang'an City, and in the white snow, Cao Pi, dressed in a white Confucian robe, stared blankly at the lead-gray sky, unaware that the snow had fallen all over his shoulders.

Beside him, Queen Guo, who was dressed in a white coat, looked at her pale husband distressedly, but she couldn't say half a word of comfort.

When the bad news of Yongxian County just came, everyone couldn't believe this terrible news at all, Cao Pi kept calm for the first time, and asked someone to investigate Cao Zhen's news again.

It was not until today that the bad news of Cao Zhen's death was finally confirmed, along with the fall of Yongxian, a large number of Wei troops were forced to lay down their arms, and the Han army easily obtained a large amount of baggage.

When the surrounding Huangxian and Duyang heard the news of the fall of Yongxian and the death of Cao Zhen, they also had no resistance at all, and the Han army only sent a small number of men and horses to complete the acceptance work.

Since then, the Wei army's Qishan defense line has been completely broken, most of the elite Guanlong main force has been surrendered to the Han army, and the door of Chang'an has been opened.

"Zidan, Zidan......"

Although the news came, the defeat in this battle was entirely due to Cao Zhen's risky attack, which led to the cutting off of the back road, which can be said to be Cao Zhen's stupid command that ruined the hope of keeping the Han army out of Chang'an.

But Cao Pi, who has literati feelings, is still unwilling to blame this old friend who is loyal to him, and when he thinks of Cao Zhen's voice and smile, he is stunned and sheds tears.

Without Cao Zhen's full support, it would be difficult for him to become the emperor, and without Cao Zhen's constant hard fighting, it would be difficult for him to control the situation in the north at the beginning of his ascension to the throne.

Now that Cao Zhen has died in battle, he hasn't even seen him for the last time, and he can't collect his body, his brother has really failed him too much.

Empress Guo gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said slowly in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Zhongda has been waiting outside for a long time, you should meet him!" ”

"Nope! Let him continue to kneel! Cao Pi's voice didn't have much anger, just a little breathless.

Sima Yi was originally ordered to go to Yongxian County to prepare to support Cao Zhen's battle for the Northern Plains, but Sima Yi thought that the Han army in the direction of the Northern Plains would definitely invest a lot of troops and would not let the Wei army easily recapture it, so he kept begging Cao Pi to give him another 20,000 to the defenders of Chang'an, so as to support the meat grinding battle on the front line.

When Zhong Xuan, Jiang Ji, and Zhao Yan heard that Sima Yi was going to reduce the defenders of Chang'an, they were all frightened, for fear that Cao Pi would agree to his idea.

The three of them quarreled with Sima Yi together, saying that they would not let Cao Pi continue to transfer troops to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi finally reduced the number of troops to 5,000, and actually heard the news that Cao Zhen was defeated and disappeared, and Yongxian was about to be breached.

Sima Yi scolded Confucianism for misleading the country, Zhong Miao and others had no choice, so they hurriedly called Sima Yi to support, but now it was too late, deserters kept coming to Chang'an, and the battle situation was described more and more exaggerated.

Now that the entire Qishan defense line is gone, there is only one last way left.

"Your Majesty, you can meet Zhongda! He worked state affairs, if it weren't for the hard work of him and Yuan Changgong, I was afraid that he would ...... now."

If someone else said such a thing, Cao Pi would definitely be furious, but when these words came out of the mouth of the woman he loved the most, Cao Pi had no more way than to be silent.

"Xuan Sima Yi!" He said tiredly.

Sima Yi also looked tired, he knelt in the wind for a long time, his whole body was already frozen stiff, Cao Pi saw this, sighed, and said, "Bring another charcoal basin for Zhongda." ”

Sima Yi slowly saluted and thanked him, looking at Cao Pi's face, he took a deep breath and suddenly spit out a sentence that made Cao Pi angry.

"Your Majesty, we can't hold Chang'an now, let's hurry back to Luoyang!"

Cao Pi, who just wanted to comfort Sima Yi for a few words, was held in his throat, he couldn't speak for a long time, stared at Sima Yi's eyes with unbelievable eyes, and said slowly: "What did you say." ”

Sima Yi stubbornly said: "The Qishan defense line has been lost, Weishui and Jingshui are also occupied by the Shu army, and now Chang'an has no danger to defend, if you don't go, it is possible to be surrounded by the Shu army on all sides.

When the time comes, the minister is worried that the Son of Heaven will have to worry about his life! ”

Bang!

Cao Pi slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "Nonsense, Sima Yi, do you know what you're talking about!" ”

Chang'an is the core of Guanlong, which is of great significance.

At that time, Liu Bang walked out of Chencang to occupy Chang'an, and only then did he form a state of affairs fighting for the world, and Xiang Yu, who could fight well, had no way, and finally Wujiang killed himself.

Now that Sima Yi actually said that he wanted to give up Chang'an, how could he not let Cao Pi get angry!

Empress Guo also knew that if she gave up Chang'an, Cao Pi, the emperor, would not have to do it, so she hurriedly stopped Cao Pi, who was about to run away, and said: "Zhongda, don't say anything discouraged, you must have a clever plan, and say it quickly." ”

A gleam flashed in Sima Yi's eyes, and he said: "Your Majesty, now Chang'an has no danger to defend, even if General Cao Ren holds the martial arts, he can't stop the Shu army from attacking in several ways.

Yongxian is lost, we have lost too many troops, if we really want to defend Chang'an, we must transfer General Cao Ren's elite troops back to Chang'an to garrison, and ...... And according to the minister's previous strategy, the Youzhou Iron Cavalry came to support! ”

Sima Yi said quickly, he even had already thought of a candidate: "Urgently transfer Xu Huang to lead the Youzhou soldiers to help, and send Jia Kui and Lu Qian to lead the troops to reinforce, to hold Chang'an, we need at least 200,000 reinforcements!" ”
