Lu Hai said to Lu Gui with a little excitement: "When the time comes to the court, you must agree to send troops, as long as the vast majority of leaders agree to send troops, Fu Jian alone can't stop it." Fu Jian is extremely greedy for power, so he will not trust others to lead the troops, and will definitely lead the troops himself. When Fu Jian's army leaves, we will attack the king immediately! The captives are small, and the other Di's are forced to surrender to us! ”

"Father, wouldn't this be too hasty?"

"In a hurry? Not rushed at all. Lu Hai had a strange smile on his face, and then said: "Surprise is the only way to win." It will take at least a month for Fu Jian to assemble the people, which means that we have a full month to prepare. A month...... That's enough. ”

When Lu Hai and Lu Gui's father and son were discussing, Adou also heard the overall plan of the two clearly on the roof.

"Hehe, I didn't expect this Lu family's ambition to be not small. Originally, I wanted to pardon you so that you Lu clan could return to the Central Plains openly, but now it seems that you Lu Pheasant remnants will not cause trouble for me! Thinking of this, Adou jumped and fell lightly, and then disappeared into the darkness with a few dodges.

……

Pu Lin walked into the room in a hurry, but Adou was not in the room.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Pu Lin shouted softly.

The window suddenly opens and a man in black. rushed in from the outside, so frightened that Pu Lin turned around and ran back.

"Mr. Pu, don't be nervous, it's me!"

Hearing Adou's voice, Pu Lin stopped. step, slowly turned around, and saw Adou in a night suit, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, this is your outfit, this is ......"

"Hehe, I was so bored that I went out for a walk. Encounter. Something interesting. Adou said, his face suddenly became serious, and he asked, "Pu Lin, let me ask you, do you want to be the king of Di?" ”

"When the king ......" Pu Lin was stunned in place.

"If you want to be the king of Di, I will give you a king!" Adou is very decisive. Said.

"Your Majesty, but Fu Jian's side ......" Pu Lin was obviously tempted.

"Don't worry, Fu Jian's side, I have my own way."

……

During this period of time, Fu Jian was not idle, and summoned a . The leaders of some tribes greatly exaggerated the losses of the troops to the Di people, and at the same time said that if they could not defeat Cherrigi, they would be retaliated against, etc., in short, they persuaded everyone not to support the sending of troops.

As for Lu Gui, there was no movement, just waiting with peace of mind. Don't move around with other people.

Finally, it was time for the second congregation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tell me what you think!" Fu Jian said.

"King, Yongzhou is comparable. Our Western Regions are much stronger. I think this is a great opportunity for us to do so. You can go to the Central Plains, and you don't have to Tuntian. ”

"Great King, although Yongzhou is better than the Western Regions, the Han emperor did not let us go in vain, and the Han people also asked us to send troops to fight Cheriji. If we can defeat Cherrigi, if we can't beat it, maybe even Yongzhou will be occupied by Cherrigi, and Cherrigi will inevitably retaliate against us in the future, and at that time, we may not be able to stay in the Western Regions. ”

Everyone expressed their opinions, some for and some against, and everyone quarreled endlessly.

Fu Jian smiled with satisfaction, this is exactly the effect Fu Jian wanted. Up to now, before Lu Gui spoke, everyone had already quarreled, and if Lu Gui, the main boss, came out to express his position again, the quarrel would be even worse.

Thinking of this, Fu Jian opened his mouth and asked, "Lu Gui, what do you think?" ”

Lu Gui stood up and said, "Great King, the minister thinks that if you send troops, no matter whether you win or lose, our clan will suffer serious losses. ”

Fu Jian nodded with satisfaction and asked, "So you don't support sending troops?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because sending troops to Liangzhou will cause us heavy losses, and the outcome is still unpredictable, so the minister thinks that this time our clan should go all out to have a better chance of winning."

"What? Are you in favor of sending troops? Fu Jian looked at Lu Gui in surprise.

And the others also looked at Lu Gui incredulously. Lu Gui and Pu Lin have always been at odds, and now that Lu Gui actually supports Pu Lin, is Lu Gui a change of sex.

"Lu Gui, you have to think clearly!" Fu Jian said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, the minister is thinking very clearly."

"This ......" This time, Fu Jian really had nothing to say. Originally, Fu Jian thought that Lu Gui would oppose it 100%, but he didn't expect that Lu Gui would agree.

Pu Lin and Lu Gui, the leaders of the two most powerful tribes among the Di people, expressed their position, and even if Fu Jian wanted to stop the troops, there was no way.

"Okay, let's send troops!" Fu Jian sighed helplessly, and at the same time began to secretly make his own little calculations in his heart.

……

Liangzhou. Han army camp.

The dragon flag hangs from the highest flagpole and can be seen from miles away. The emperor's golden tent is located in the middle of the Han army's camp, guarded by the Bai'er elite soldiers, and the idle people are not allowed to approach half a step.

The Han army in the camp knew that their emperor had been here for a long time, and the rumors about Adou, such as riding alone to aid Guan Yu, defeating Zhou Tai and beheading Lu Meng, making trouble in Runan, and trapping 6 Xunping Nanban, also spread quickly in the army, and everyone was very curious about what this young emperor who had already achieved such brilliant achievements looked like, whether it was the legendary three-headed and six-armed, swallowing several oxen a day.

However, it is a pity that those fierce and vicious white-eared elite soldiers have been guarding around the Xingyuan Golden Tent, except for Jiang Wei, Yang Yi and a few others, others are not allowed to approach at all. And this emperor is also very strange, he has been here for so long, but he has only stayed in the tent, and he has never come out, nor has he ever met with the soldiers.

As for Cherrigi, as soon as he saw the dragon flag raised in the Han army, he immediately attacked the Han army. In Cherrigi's view, the raised dragon flag represents that the emperor of the Han people has arrived, and as long as the emperor can capture the Han people, the entire Yongzhou is his own.

And from the moment the dragon flag was raised, Deng Ai realized that the situation was already very bad. Deng Ai fought with Adou, and was almost killed by Adou, and the experience of fighting with Adou told Deng Ai that Adou was definitely planning and then acting, and whenever Adou moved, it was often a very fatal blow. So when he saw the Dragon Banner, Deng Ai had a feeling that Adou had made a trap and was ready to wipe out the Qiang people.

Deng Ai has an inexplicable fear of Adou, Deng Ai does not want to die with the Qiang people, not to mention that since he was demoted to defeat, the Qiang people have begun to distrust Deng Ai, so Deng Ai simply said goodbye to Cherrigi and left the Qiang people in the name of returning to Chang'an to recuperate.

In the face of the Qiang attack, Jiang Wei also adopted a strategy to deal with it, if there was a Qiang general shouting that he wanted to fight alone, Jiang Wei would go out to meet him, but if the Qiang people wanted to stand in a group, Jiang Wei would never fight.

Without Deng Ai, none of the generals of the Qiang people were Jiang Wei's opponents, and as a result, Jiang Wei killed several people when he came to challenge, losing morale.

Cherrigi also once wanted to rely on the strength of his men to storm the Han army camp. However, Jiang Wei also took countermeasures, and the entire Han army camp was surrounded by deer and horses and trenches, which caused great trouble to the Qiang cavalry, which made the Qiang attack several times in vain.

Finally, Jiang Wei waited for Wei Yan's reinforcements to arrive.

Although the number of Wei Yan's reinforcements is not large, they are all elite soldiers who have gone through several wars, and they are well-equipped, so they are definitely first-class in terms of quality.

After all, Jiang Wei is the first time to lead troops to fight, and he is far inferior to Wei Yan in terms of experience, and now that Wei Yan has arrived, Jiang Wei happened to hand over the command of the army to Wei Yan, and at the same time, Jiang Wei followed Wei Yan to give Wei Yan a start, and at the same time learned how Wei Yan led the troops.

Wei Yan brought Zhang Yi, Ma Zhong, Wu Ban and Fu Yan four generals to come together this time, and the lineup is also strong, plus one Wei Yan, the Qiang people can't get much benefit from going head-to-head. But seeing the dragon flag fluttering in the Han military camp, Cherrigi was really unwilling to give up like this.

Adou's emperor is in the golden tent.

A group of soldiers stood on both sides, the first on the left was Wei Yan, and the first on the right was Chen Dao.

Chen Zhi looked at the empty throne in the middle, and a fire of ignorance involuntarily rose in his heart. Chen Zhi glared at Zhang Wei behind him fiercely, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Wei, you wait, if Your Majesty comes back and there is half a hair missing, I have to kill you alive!" ”

Zhang Wei was frightened. hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to face Chen Dao.

Zhang Wei has been by Adou's side for some years, and since Adou ascended the throne, Zhang Wei's status has also risen, except for a few bigwigs in the Shu army, who saw Zhang Wei had to respectfully shout General Zhang.

But Chen Zhi didn't care so much. At that time, Zhang Wei was also valued by Liu Bei, and was selected into the white-eared elite soldiers and became Chen Zhi's subordinates, for so many years, the commander of the white-eared elite soldiers has always been Chen Zhi, so Chen Zhi is Zhang Zhi's old boss. Faced with the reprimand of the old boss, Zhang Wei could only listen with his head down.

"Uncle and brother, Zhang Wei can't be blamed for this matter, Zhang Wei is also acting at His Majesty's orders." Wei Yan hurriedly came out to play a round, and at the same time helped Zhang Wei to defend himself: "Besides, our majesty's character, you don't know it, uncle and brother. Your Majesty's martial arts group was still rampant in the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Cao Army back then, if Your Majesty really wanted to leave, Zhang Wei couldn't stop him. ”

"Brother Wen, our white-eared elite soldiers are responsible for protecting His Majesty's safety, which is not the same as fighting on the march. If you lose for a while, you will be able to win a few more battles and get it back. But if our white-eared elite soldiers are the slightest careless, it will be Your Majesty who will be compensated! If we lose once, we never have a chance to turn the tables back. Therefore, we are white-eared elite soldiers, and we can't tolerate half a point of sloppiness. Because we can't afford to lose, once we lose here, the entire court will lose! Chen Zhi said solemnly.

"Hehehe, General Chen Zhi said it well!" Immediately after, applause came from outside.

Zhang Wei hurriedly raised his head, this voice, Zhang Wei is too familiar!

"Your Majesty, it's Your Majesty who is back!" Zhang Wei was the first to rush towards the tent door. Immediately afterwards, Chen Dao, Wei Yan and the others glanced at each other and walked out.

"Your Majesty, you're back!" Seeing that Adou's body was not damaged in the slightest, Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Chen has passed that level, and his head has been saved.

"Ah, Wei Yan, you're here too!" Adou saw Wei Yan and walked over with a smile, and then, Adou immediately noticed that behind Wei Yan stood a young man in his early twenties.

"You're Jiang Wei, right?" Adou asked.

"Minister Jiang Wei, see Your Majesty."

"Hehe, you're Jiang Wei? Well, that's good! Adou carefully looked at this pillar of the late Shu Kingdom.

"Yes, it's really a hero out of a teenager!" Adou involuntarily used a kind of senior elder's tone. But Adou forgot that he was younger than Jiang Wei.

Being praised by a person who is younger than himself as a hero and a teenager, Jiang Wei always felt a little weird in his heart, but the other party was the emperor, Jiang Wei hesitated for a long time before he opened his mouth and held back a sentence: "Your Majesty praised it falsely, Wei Wei is ashamed to be ashamed." ”

"Okay, don't stand here, let's go, let's go in." Adou said, striding into the meteor.

"Your Majesty, where have you been these days? You left so quietly, and the ministers were worried. Wei Yan asked.

"Well, I've gone to the Western Regions."

"Western Regions!" Chen Zhi was so frightened that he shook his body and almost didn't stop. And the general next to him also looked at Adou with a strange expression.

For the generals present, the Western Regions is a very distant word, even Jiang Wei, who lives in Tianshui, is still very unfamiliar with the word Western Regions. Everyone mainly understands the Western Regions from the history books. For the generals present, most of them only cared about the merits established by General Fubo's Ma Yuan and Dingyuan Houban.

The Western Regions is unfamiliar to everyone, and in the eyes of these generals, the Western Regions should be a barren land, full of poisonous insects, birds and beasts, and some people even think that the Western Regions are full of mountain spirits and monsters. So when everyone heard that Adou had gone to the Western Regions, they were all surprised and couldn't believe their ears.

And Jiang Wei is a little more sensible, Jiang Wei is a native of Tianshui, and has seen a lot of merchants who come and go to the Western Regions, Jiang Wei knows that the difference between the Western Regions and the Central Plains is not too big, but the Western Regions are full of horse thieves, and Jiang Wei also knows that those caravans that come back from the Western Regions and pass through Tianshui have a lot of wealth.

"In fact, the Western Regions are not much different from our Central Plains, but there is less rain and more wind! However, this time, I did not go to the Western Regions in vain, and I brought back a great piece of good news. Adou said with a smile.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the good news?"

"I want to fight Liangzhou!" Adou said, taking a slight breath, and continued: "But there are still many details that need to be considered in the long run, and I can't be busy alone." Zhang Wei listened to the order and immediately sent someone to Chang'an to invite the prime minister to come over, saying that I had something important and needed to discuss it with the prime minister. ”

……

Tongguan.

After days of hurrying, when Deng Ai returned to Tongguan, he was already in the dust. However, Deng Ai did not go to rest, but went to see Cao Zhen for the first time. and carefully told Cao Zhen about his trip to Liangzhou.

"So, Liu Chan has already arrived in Liangzhou?" Cao Zhen asked.

"It's not just Liu Chan who went, on the way back, I also met Wei Yan's reinforcements, who were marching to Liangzhou." Deng Ai replied.

"Okay, now Liu Chan's attention must be focused on Liangzhou and Cheriji's war, Cheriji's Qiang people can fight well, and there are a lot of people, even if Liu Chan wins this battle, it must be a tragic victory, I just took this opportunity to fight Yongzhou, even if I can't recapture Chang'an, Liu Chan, who is going to make trouble, can't slow down for a few years!" Cao Zhen's face showed a hint of joy.

"Report ......" Xiao Xiao suddenly ran in with a long voice, came to Cao Zhen's approach, knelt down and said, "Governor, Your Majesty has sent a messenger and is waiting outside." ”

"Hurry up, please." Cao Zhen said hurriedly.

Only a moment later, the messenger came over, and Cao Zhen saw that it was an old acquaintance, who was the squire Wang Chang.

"It turns out that Lord Wang is here, hurry up and invite someone inside, come here, serve tea!" Cao Zhen hurriedly greeted him.

"Grand Governor, Your Majesty has a will, take it quickly!" Wang Chang's face is not very good-looking.

Cao Zhen hurriedly knelt down, while Wang Chang began to read the holy decree.

The content of Cao Pi's holy decree is not much, the first half is to say that Cao Zhenzhen has meritorious service in guarding Tongguan, and said a bunch of words of encouragement without nutrition, which is basically similar to the sentence "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said", which is nonsense. It wasn't until the end of the holy decree that he cut to the chase, ordering Cao Zhen to return to Xudu immediately, and at the same time to transfer Cao Zhen's main force back to Xudu together, leaving only 10,000 horses on Tongguan to guard. As for Tongguan, Xiahou Ba replaced Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen took the holy decree, and his face also showed a trace of worry. Cao Pi actually transferred the main force to Xudu, which means that Cao Pi is going to give up Yongzhou in the Ming Dynasty.

Cao Zhen approached Wang Chang and asked softly, "Lord Wang, what happened?" The outcome of Yongzhou is still unclear, why did Your Majesty transfer the army back? ”

"Governor, I'll give you a thorough understanding first, this matter is very important, if it spreads, it will affect the morale of the army, you know it." Wang Chang whispered.

Cao Zhen knew that Wang Chang was Cao Pi's confidant, and his news should be very accurate, so he immediately said, "Lord Wang, please will." ”

"That's the case, fifteen days ago, Sun Quan ordered his generals Sun Shao and Bu Qi to raid Hefei, General Cao Ren personally led the troops from Shouchun to support Hefei, but unexpectedly encountered Wu General Xu Sheng and Zhang Cheng on the way, General Cao Ren was defeated, and led the troops back to Shouchun, but now Shouchun has been occupied by Wu General Quan Cong and Ding Feng, and now Huainan is a place, all of which are obtained by Jiangdong, and General Cao Ren has to return to Cai. After General Cao Ren returned to Xia Cai, he was ill and could no longer serve as a director, so His Majesty urgently recruited the governor to go back. Wang Chang opened his mouth to explain.

"What, you mean Shouchun is lost? The whole of Huainan is lost? ”

Wang Chang nodded silently, and then added: "I heard that recently, Sun Quan has personally led the army to Shouchun to prepare for the Northern Expedition. This matter is still a secret in our army, and most people in the DPRK and China still don't know about it, but they must not be able to hide it for long. Therefore, His Majesty asked the Metropolitan Governor to go back as soon as possible and preside over the overall situation. ”
