Luoyang City, located in the Central Plains, is not too cold in winter, and generally floats back and forth at 0°. But such a temperature is really a test of life and death for Sima Zhao.

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

Fortunately, although the people of this era did not fully understand the principle of why some diseases will be aggravated in winter, the so-called long-term illness becomes a good doctor, and Sima Zhao also knows that his body will be more comfortable in a warm environment. So throughout the winter, he basically didn't go out of the door, he hid at home, and there were several braziers in the whole room, which burned vigorously at any time.

Since the beginning of winter, Sima Zhao's mood has generally been good. Zhong Hui first took Yang'an Pass and entered Zitong. This was a major military victory that Cao Wei had never achieved since the founding of the country. Therefore, in October, he was successfully awarded the title of Duke of Jin.

Although since October, Zhong Hui's daily reports have been stagnant in the Sword Pavilion, Sima Zhao is not very worried—he really can't just go back. Moreover, isn't there Deng Ai walking Jinggu Road?

At the end of November, Sima Zhao received a report from Deng Ai that he had successfully walked out of the no-man's land and successfully won Jiangyou.

On December 10, he received a report from Deng Ai that the last formed army of Shu Han had been annihilated, and there was no army worthy of a war.

On the day he received this report, Sima Zhao rarely drank a lot of wine, and he had not been interested for a long time, and he actually tossed the two beautiful maids for a long time that night.

After all, Sima Zhao was a hero who had experienced strong winds and waves, and although he was extremely excited, he still didn't rush to gather his subordinates and let them start the work of building momentum for the king. In his opinion, no matter how close something is, as long as it is not swallowed, it cannot be regarded as truly in hand.

It was this politician's calmness that made Sima Zhao not lose face because of the divine turn in the back.

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

After his eyes quickly swept the report, Sima Zhao's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he stood up, walked a few steps quickly with his hands behind his back, and then ran to the picture hanging high on one wall of the dormitory, and after looking at it by candlelight, he trembled and made a voice: "Changping...... This is the siege of Changping......"

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

Fortunately, this kind of fainting is already very common for Lord Xiangguo, and the slaves and maids below know very well what to do, and the imperial doctor next door is also on duty around the clock. Therefore, when Wang Yuanji, Sima Yan, Sima You, Jia Chong, Pei Xiu and others hurriedly arrived after receiving the news, Sima Zhao had already woken up.

Everyone who understood the course of the matter was shocked. Cartographer Pei Xiu trembled all over: "I see, I see, the reason why the Battle of Changping was able to be fought like that is because of the power of the mountains and rivers!" ”

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

Hearing Jia Chong's inquiry, Pei Xiu's face turned pale: "Du Yuankai's method is already the best." But it's still not urgent! ”

Pei Xiu is right: the plan submitted by Du Pre-is already the best plan. But there are also huge problems with implementation.

Due to the weakening of the Xiongnu in these years, the army of Bingzhou is not strong in combat. Even if such an army rushes to the battlefield in Hanzhong, how much role can a mere 20,000 people play? Besides, although the place in Bingzhou is not far from Luoyang in a straight line, the transportation between them is actually not very convenient, even if the troops in Bingzhou start to mobilize at this time, it will not be possible to set off at all without a month.

And what about the Chinese army in Luoyang? It can also be sent, and as the most elite army. The Chinese army in Luoyang could set off as soon as the order was given. But no matter how fast it is, it will take about a month to enter the Hanzhong Basin after all kinds of personnel and logistics work is done. As for the Qingxu Front Army, whether those Tuntian soldiers can fight or not is still a matter of two words, even if they order now, they will not be able to reach Hanzhong in three months.

"Hey~~~ Zhong Shiji, I'm lonely!" Sima Zhao, who breathed a sigh of relief, just complained lightly to Zhong Hui and immediately returned to normal: "Gonglu, you go to Xiapi in person." Let Meng Jian (Wang Zhao, this person's father is the legendary Wang Xiang who lies on the ice and begs for carp) immediately count Qingxu's Tuntian soldiers, at least let him hand over 50,000 Tuntian soldiers to you, and then you bring them into Luoyang as soon as possible! ”

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

After Jia Chong and Pei Xiu were ordered to leave, Sima Zhao's eyes rolled:

"Taofu (Sima You), you go to Zichu (Sima Wang) Mansion immediately, and ask him to come over immediately."

"No!" Sima Yougong also left immediately. There were only three people left in the entire room: Sima Zhao, Sima Yan and Wang Yuanji.

"This time I defeated Shu! The 100,000 Chinese troops have almost no chance of survival! ”

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

Twenty-eight-year-old Sima Yan faced Sima Zhao without fear and said, "Of course the child wants to be the emperor!" ”

"Okay, now block the news for the father. Tomorrow you immediately mobilize your group of fox friends and dogs to ......"

……

On the other side, Jianye City.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please also move to the Imperial Study. An urgent military situation from the school. ”

Sun Xiu, the current emperor of Eastern Wu, was the sixth son of Sun Quan. I haven't been in good health all the time, and I often fall ill. At this time, it can be regarded as another serious illness and the first recovery, and the whole person is already in shape. But in any case, Sun Xiu was a relatively dedicated emperor, and after hearing that there was an urgent military situation, he immediately put on his clothes and got up.

When I came to the study, Prime Minister Pu Yangxing, General Zuo Zhang Bu, and General Ding Feng had been waiting for a long time.

Pu Yangxing, the current prime minister of Eastern Wu, once served as the Taishou of Huiji for a long time, and Sun Xiu, who was the king of Langya, lived in Huiji. Pu Yangxing tried his best to tie the knot, and the two sides had a good personal relationship. Sun Liang was deposed, and after Sun Xiu took the throne, Puyangxing's official position rose all the way. Now it is more than 10,000 people under the entire Soochow.

General Zuo Zhang Bu was the chief of the palace when Sun Xiu was the prince. After Sun Xiu became the emperor, of course, he became the chief of guard of the entire Dongwu Imperial Palace, and what he held in his hands was the most elite of the two armies of Dongwu.

But to tell the truth, the talents of these two people are scum. Personal morality is even more rubbish...... Sun Xiu also reused these two people, and it was destined that Wu Guo would not make any big improvement in his hands.

Now in this room, the only one who has the ability is a veteran who has fought all the way since the time of Sun Ce: Ding Feng and Ding Chengyuan. This is the last person in the entire Soochow regime who has witnessed the majesty of the little overlord. As a great contributor to helping Sun Xiu kill Sun Qi and turn him from a puppet to a powerful emperor, Ding Feng naturally won Sun Xiu's respect and trust.

"Your Majesty, this is the case. This Guan Yi Guan Zifeng of Xishu is really amazing! It actually recreates the siege of Changping more than 500 years ago. The 100,000 army of Wei is almost finished! ”

"Hiss~~~ Isn't Shu going to die? How can there be such a good general! Hey, if I can have such a good general...... Uh, General, I have a feeling, please ......"

"Your Majesty doesn't have to care. Guan Zifeng's talent, the minister is not as good as it! ”

"So, everyone, what should my Great Wu do now to get the most out of this earth-shattering change?"

"Your Majesty, first of all, we must take back the army of Jianping County. Now, part of the army of Xishu that came down from the battlefield of Xindu has arrived in Badong. If we continue to stay there, it will have no effect except to provoke Xishu to hate us. ”

"Exactly! What else does the general have to do? ”

"Now if Wei still wants to save the scene, it will inevitably send troops and horses out of Chang'an again. Our Dawu enemy on the other side of the Yangtze River will not receive any support. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I also ask Your Majesty to send a part of the troubles that are free of difficulties and troubles, and issue a strict order to urge all the great families. Let them send their main forces to attack Hefei City with all their might. Before the end of this war between Wei and Shu, we must at least take Hefei! ”

"Good, General Zuo, immediately draft a will for me. Well, Prime Minister, do you have anything to say? ”

"Uh, Your Majesty, shouldn't our Great Wu send an envoy to Xishu to congratulate you?"

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

"Your Majesty, my Xiling Governor of Dawu has a good relationship with Guan Zifeng of Xishu."

"Good, then make an order, let Xiling Governor Buxi be the envoy and send Xishu to Xishu."

"Also, Your Majesty, I heard from the Governor of Xiling that Guan Zifeng's family is now 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 to be able to represent my heart. ”

"Yes."

……

December 24th.

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

With a "branch swish", Yan Yan walked out of the humble Taishou Mansion with a big belly.

That's right, Guan Yi's wife is pregnant again. In the more than two months that Guan Yi has been on the expedition, his figure has become more and more obvious.

"Rhubarb, little black, don't run around on the street for a while, and don't steal other people's things. Come, put the muzzle on. ”

"Roar~~~"

Accompanied by two tigers and several maids, Concubine Chen and her party walked onto the streets of Fuling County.

"Hello ma'am!"

"Hehe, Boss Wang, you're okay."

"Hello ma'am, hey! Rhubarb, little black, I have the freshest wild boar meat here, would you like to try some? ”

"Giggles, if Boss Song lets them taste it and doesn't ask for money from a concubine, I won't stop it."

"Hahaha, Madame laughed. If it weren't for the fact that we had kept the country, we would all be slaves by now. A little wild boar, out of the way, out of the way. ”

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

"Hehehe, Uncle Boyu. In the words of your brother, tigers are meant to be taken out for a walk often. It's okay, I've muzzled them. ”

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

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

Chen Yan'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 bitterly: "The news on December 5 said that the brothers led a team to raid Yang'an Pass, and then cut off contact. ”

"Ah~~~"

"What the brothers are doing now is too big, and the younger brother can only be deeply shocked and admired when he sees it. If this battle is won, it can keep my Han safe for decades. If you lose......"

What is the end of the defeat? Needless to say besides the total annihilation?

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

"Yes, I have been in distress in Fuling County for so many years, and after Guan Taishou came, he quickly achieved great governance. How can such a character be defeated? ”

"When the whole country surrenders, Guan Taishou will turn the tide, and the society will turn the crisis into safety. Guan Taishou will never be defeated! ”

"Yes, and please take care of the baby with peace of mind. Maybe when the little boy was born, Taishou returned triumphantly! ”

"Thank you very much......"

Just when everyone surrounded her and prayed, the corners of Chen Can's eyes suddenly lifted.

It was a man in a short red robe with a white dove on his cuffs. Chen Can knew that it was a full-time staff in the pigeon loft.

"County magistrate, the latest news from the pigeon loft, there is news from the Sword Pavilion that they have successfully attacked Yang'an Pass! Now, the Great General has reorganized his troops and horses and is ready to rush out of the Sword Pavilion! ”
