Wei State, Tokyo, Imperial Palace.

On the Wende Temple.

The most interesting thing for the Wei court at the moment was the battle of the Western Expedition after the beginning of the spring, and the war to seize the land of the four states lost by the previous dynasty "China" (the dynasty founded in the Central Plains).

Less than a month after the expedition, the Wei Western Expeditionary Army won successive victories, and the information on the battle ahead continued to pour into the Daliang Mansion in Tokyo by various means. The battle progressed smoothly and the battle was rapid, far beyond the expectations of the ministers and even the emperor of the court, although they knew that the Wei army was very strong in combat, and the vast majority of the military generals of the imperial court thought that this battle would be won, but Shu was also one of the two major powers in the southern region, and Wei was not established before the power of Sichuan and Shu, but I didn't expect to lose so quickly and so miserably this time!

This is really a bit of a surprise to everyone!

I could only hear a high-pitched voice "Announce the messenger to the temple".

Subsequently.

The light and shadow flickered in front of the door of the Wende Palace, and a man in a hurry walked into the main hall. The palace has gathered a group of people with the largest power and the highest status in the Central Plains Dynasty, how can you see it in ordinary times, at this time, the unattainable civil and military generals of the common people on weekdays have turned their eyes sideways, and their eyes are on this man's body.

This makes the usually low-level post guards somewhat restrained and nervous, after all, they are now facing a high-powered courtier, who can kill their big men as long as they want to move their fingers, and there are so many. But he still tried his best to remain calm, held his breath and concentrated, carefully took out the wrapped official document in the letter box on his back, held it in the palm of his hand, as if holding a priceless treasure, raised it above his head, and a man in eunuch clothes stepped forward, took the official document from his hand, turned around and stepped on the steps, and stood at the position of the emperor's first step.

The eunuch slowly spread out the paperwork, swept it slightly, and began to read it: "...... Our army is progressing smoothly in the west, and the observation of Qinzhou makes Zhao Wei go out of the city to accept the surrender ...... when the city is surrounded by our army and the reinforcements cannot eat,...... The Western Expeditionary Army Chen Xubu captured Guzhen, and sent surprise troops to defeat the Shu army reinforcements at Qingniling, thwarted Shu's attempt to relieve the siege of Fengzhou, and captured 8,000 people,...... Fengxiang town soldiers broke through Fengzhou City, the Shu army defender killed himself ......, so far, our army has captured the four states, and all the forces of Shu in the territory have been eradicated! ……”

The eunuch's voice was relatively high-pitched, without the masculine meaning of a man, but his speech was clear, and everyone present understood it.

At this time, a military general said directly: "So fast, even Fengzhou has been taken!" The general's voice is rough, and his voice is loud, but the emperor has not yet spoken, he is the first to speak, there is a suspicion of disrespect, in the troubled times, the status of the military general is very high, coupled with the current emperor's ambition, want to create a great cause, the ability and ability of the courtiers are treated very well, since I will not blame this person for a little interference.

Prime Minister Wang Pu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this time our army can recover the four states of Qin Fengcheng in less than a month, in fact, it is the key battles to be fought well, the first to push the forbidden army Chen Xu to seize the opportunity, preemptively, and break through the mighty city, open up the situation for the later battle, and create a favorable situation for our army to enter Shu Dao, it is really the first merit......"

Wang Pu is worthy of being a Jinshi, the head of civil officials, and he talked endlessly, telling the story of the Western Expedition vividly, as if he was in the scene, although there is a suspicion of exaggeration, but the facts are so, reasonable and well-founded, and people cannot refute it. Even the generals, who usually despise civilian officials and feel that they are powerless and can only play tricks, can't help but nod their heads and praise.

Emperor Lu Rong, who was on the throne, nodded, and said in a majestic tone: "The prime minister is reasonable."

Wang Pu said: "It's just that although the lord of Shu has lost the four states, he is still arrogant as before and arrogantly wants to be on an equal footing with my country."

Wang Pu is the prime minister of Wei, the head of a hundred officials, the big and small affairs of the DPRK and China are known, a few days ago, when Fengzhou has not been obtained, he sent an envoy to ask for peace, but this peace document obviously does not have much sincerity, the text calls himself "Emperor of Dashu", under the whole world, there can only be one emperor, the so-called heaven has no two lords, and the country has no two monarchs. Although Kyushu is now divided, but as the most powerful Wei State that occupies the Central Plains region and thinks that it is orthodox in China, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the Shu State is self-reliant, the Wei Dynasty can't stretch out its hand so far, if Meng Chang claims to be the emperor in the country, the Wei Dynasty may still be able to tolerate it and turn a blind eye, but now it is like this in the diplomatic occasions of the two countries, and the sincerity of this peace is questionable!

"Humph!" A majestic man's voice with anger in it, naturally Lu Rong remembered Meng Chang's arrogance and was extremely dissatisfied with the lord of Shu.

"According to the information collected by the Western Expeditionary Army, Shu mobilized a large number of people and horses during this period and hoarded them in the White Emperor City and Jianmen Pass." After the emperor calmed down a little, Wang Pu continued.

At this time, the guards and the pro-army Ma Junsi commanded Lin Zhaoyuan to walk out of the ranks, stood next to Wang Pu and said: "The minister asks Your Majesty to increase the army and destroy the Shu Kingdom, and the ministers are willing to take the lead and arrest the Lord of Shu and let him personally apologize to His Majesty!"

The voice is rough, resolute and majestic, and loud.

"Haha, General Lin is still loyal!" The Emperor laughed and laughed.

When he was in Xinzhou, Lin Zhaoyuan's lone army went deep, and the horsemen under his command suffered great losses, and the emperor Lu Rong did not kill him, but just demoted him, but he had a good personal relationship when Lu Rong had not yet ascended the throne, and he had some feelings of monarchs and ministers, and remembered Lin Zhaoyuan's hard work and high achievements, and the ability to lead troops to fight, and promoted him again.

Lin Zhaoyuan's words, Lu Rong also thought about it, but now is not the time, although the military of Shu is weaker than Wei, but it is also a regional power, I am afraid that it will not be able to take it in a short time, once the war is undecided, Wei will fall into the quagmire of war, leading part of the troops, and there are evil neighbors around to peep, so I have to guard against it.

So at present, Lu Rong has no idea of destroying the Shu Kingdom, mainly to let him be a minister, cut off the emperor's title, and let him settle down for a while, there can only be one emperor in the whole world!

Wei had more important tasks to complete. After the war, the Central Plains, the economic strength is not as good as the relatively stable southern region, the Southern Tang Kingdom Li Jing did not accept the king, often said to the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, Dingding the Central Plains, but also usurped the emperor's name, which is really hateful. The Southern Tang Dynasty was the most powerful state in the south of the Yangtze River, with a large number of soldiers, a dense population, and a prosperous economy, and its northern part controlled a large area of rich land in Huainan, posing a great threat to the Wei state in the Central Plains.

The next goal of the Wei Dynasty was Huainan to further weaken the military threat of the Southern Tang Dynasty to the Wei State.

Shu had previously asked for help from the Northern Han and Southern Tang dynasties, and agreed that the three kingdoms would attack Wei from three directions, attack from three sides, and divide the Central Plains. Now, Shu is scared, and he doesn't dare to move for the time being, and conspires with Shu to be unfavorable to Wei, isn't this a good reason?
