Chapter 60: A Letter from Yangping
In the south of Hanzhong, in the CD city, in the splendid palace, Liu Chan sat on the Luan seat with a serious face, and the military was lined up under the stage, with a humble expression, waiting for Liu Chan to speak.
Unconsciously, Cao Pi has been attacking Shu for half a month, and in the past half a month, Liu Chan and many ministers under the stage are all anxious and worried about the border situation, after all, most of the people who are now above the court are sincerely loyal to Shu, and their fate has been connected with Shu.
In the half month of waiting, the morning meeting has been immersed in a depressing atmosphere, because everyone can't help but have an idea in their hearts, that is, if Cao Pi wins, what is the use of their morning meeting?
Another extremely depressing morning meeting, out of the last loyalty, the ministers did their part seriously, and did not show the slightest abnormality, so it can be regarded as the last way of the courtiers.
"Report! Good news, good news in Xipingguan! A herald rushed into the hall ecstatically and shouted at Liu Chan, who was far away.
Hearing this, all the ministers couldn't help but feel like they were in high spirits, and they spoke one after another.
"Good news? What's the good news? ”
"Is it possible for Kebi to withdraw from the army?"
"Come on, what's going on in Xipingguan now?"
For the enthusiastic inquiries of the ministers, the herald could not answer immediately, but only took a few deep breaths, and then hurriedly said: "Xiping Pass is a great victory!" The hussar general personally led 3,000 horsemen to attack the camp of Kebineng, and Kebineng retreated in panic; Later, he set up an ambush in Bishan and cut off the road that 30,000 Qiang soldiers had to pass to return; In Hanzhong, he implemented the policy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, thwarted the 30,000 Qiang soldiers in Hanzhong, and now the more than 20,000 Qiang soldiers who have not been able to withdraw from Hanzhong have all surrendered! ”
"Shhh Hearing this, above the court, there couldn't help but appear somewhere with a cold snort, three thousand, one hundred thousand, what a big gap, actually won? There are more than 20,000 surrendered troops, and you must know that Xiping is only seven or eight thousand people when it is full.
After a few breaths of relief, the herald saw the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, he was also a member of the garrison of Xipingguan in Hanzhong, and after experiencing the battle of Xipingguan, he could say that he admired Ma Chaoqi to the extreme, and he was surprised by his idol when he saw others, and he was also a little proud in his heart. Then he said again:
"In this battle, the hussar general killed more than 10,000 enemies, captured more than 20,000 enemy troops, and carried countless baggage equipment! Now Kebineng is withdrawing north with more than 50,000 Qiang soldiers. ”
"Good!"
After he finished speaking, I don't know if he was nervous or because of other circumstances, Liu Chan, who was still a little serious, finally grinned and shouted loudly.
As the court meeting continued, in the middle of the year, another herald arrived, and said: "Your Majesty, the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu led the troops to invade the territory, and General Wei Yan skillfully set up suspicious soldiers outside the city, changing day and night, and now the barbarian King Meng Shu has no intention of fighting again, and has already withdrawn his troops and returned to Yunnan." ”
In less than a morning, the four-way army that had committed the mirror had retreated in two ways, and the Shu Han regime, which was like a dangerous egg, seemed to be really alive, at this time, they remembered that half a month ago, Liu Chan was here to announce that he had a countermeasure for the four-way army, and it was also here that he announced the shocking ten-year covenant, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Liu Chan who was smiling, and he already had some belief in his heart, believing that Liu Chan could really make the four-way army retreat.
"Good!" Liu Chan said again.
I don't know if it's because there are already two good news, and the ministers can't help but be willing to wait a little longer to see if the other two roads also have good news.
Time passed minute by minute, and when the morning meeting was about to end, the third military information was finally delivered, and Meng Da's 100,000 troops did not know why, marching slowly, and now they were directly stationed to rest, and did not continue to attack Hanzhong.
The ministers naturally didn't know the mystery, but as one of the main planners of this war, Liu Chan knew that he was afraid that Li Yan's letter had an effect, so he ordered Meng Da to delay the advance.
In this way, there is no major event in the three roads of the four-way army, only Yangping Pass has not been reported so far, but unfortunately in the end, there is no news from Yangping Pass, and Liu Chan, who is disappointed and has a trace of worry, finally has to go back to the palace.
The night fell again, and darkness enveloped the whole world.
CD Imperial Palace, in the Fengque Palace.
In front of the table in the hall, Liu Chan and Zhang's sat opposite each other, and a few dishes of good food were placed on the case, although they still haven't gotten the news of Yangpingguan, but no does not mean that it must be a bad thing, for the success of the other three roads, Liu Chan is still very happy, at this time of joy, Liu Chan is next to Huang Hao, I am afraid that only his own wife who has only a name can share what he thinks.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on the completion of your plan, and the three armies will be solved." Zhang's hands were flat on the wine cup, and he smiled at Liu Chan, his smile was sweet, real, and did not contain a trace of falsehood.
Liu Chan also picked up the wine cup, and after touching Zhang's lightly, he immediately drank it all in one gulp. During the Three Kingdoms period, the wine-making technology was not perfect, although it was liquor, the degree was not very high, the ancients often drank a bowl, in addition to the amount of wine, the degree of the wine itself is also one of the main reasons.
After covering his mouth and drinking a cup of Zhang, he saw that Liu Chan was still a little sullen, and he couldn't help but feel inexplicably nervous, but he didn't seem to care, but he also opened his mouth as if to explain: "Your Majesty, isn't you worried about Yangping Pass?" ”
Hearing this, Liu Chan glanced at Zhang's family, his expression was not as hippie and smiling as before, but said with a wry smile: "This time Cao Pi attacked Shu on the four routes, if our army wants to really crack it, we can only make the four-way army retreat at the same time, otherwise once there is a large army entering Shu, then the CD will be in danger, and the Shu country will be in danger!" ”
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, Your Majesty once said that there was a strategy to retreat from the enemy, and the concubine still didn't believe it at that time, but now under Your Majesty's arrangement, the three-way army is no longer a threat, and the concubine naturally believes that Your Majesty can solve the problem of Yangping Pass." Zhang said with a smile.
The attacker of Yangping Pass is Cao Wei, the planner of this plan to destroy Shu, as the main force, he will naturally go all out, and he doesn't want others to be like that, everything is mainly to preserve strength.
Although Zhang's comfort was not special, it still made Liu Chan's mood much better instantly, maybe this is the legendary beauty effect.
As soon as the two of them moved the dishes and chopsticks a few times, they saw Huang Hao cautiously, tiptoe in, walked gently to Liu Chan's side, and after saying a few words in his ear, he handed over a strip of cloth in his hand to Liu Chan.
From Huang Hao came in, after saying something in Liu Chan's ear, he saw that Liu Chan's face was gloomy again, and the palm holding the strip of cloth couldn't help but clench it tightly, holding the strip of cloth in it and constantly ravaging it.
Zhang is not stupid, so he can naturally detect something, and his eyes immediately showed a touch of distress and pity, and he spoke: "Is it that the battle of Yangping Pass is not smooth?" It's okay. ”
Sighing lightly, Liu Chan said in a flat tone: "Cao Zhen personally led 100,000 troops to attack Yangping, and transferred 50,000 soldiers and horses from Yongliang halfway, and equipped with many siege equipment, a total of 150,000 troops, divided into three batches of rotational projects, twelve hours of uninterrupted, the offensive is strong, Zhao Yun is afraid that he can't hold it, and this is his handwritten blood book." ”
