"Kill~"

"Ah~"

Outside the Dongchan City of Suizhou, countless black-armored Qin soldiers are climbing up with siege ladders, and the arrows of the Shu Han soldiers on the city tower are raining down, and huge rolling logs roll down along the siege ladders, knocking a large number of Qin soldiers directly down the city wall and falling to the ground.

The offensive and defensive battle of Suizhou between the Qin army and the Shu Han army has lasted for nearly a month, in the face of more than 300,000 elite Qin troops continuous attacks, although the Shu Han army under Liu Bei reluctantly resisted with the support of a large number of ordnance supported by the Chinese state, but still lost the two cities of Yufeng and Hengshan, more than 300,000 Qin troops gathered in Dongchan, and only one city remained to defend hard, and the defenders were less than 40,000 people.

Not only is the battle on the front line unfavorable, but in Suizhou, which is located at the rear of the battlefield, most of the local heroes who see the situation is not good have also taken control of one side and swore allegiance to the Qin State, and the entire Dongchan City has almost become a lonely city.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

At this time, under the afterglow of the setting sun, the continuous battalion of more than 300,000 Qin troops surrounded the entire Dongchan City, and a fast horse rushed towards the flag of the Chinese army.

"Report! General, Huaguo requisitioned 400,000 grassland cavalry into Gongzhou, has successively defeated the 200,000 Qing army under the command of Hao Ge and Yao Chang's Qiang cavalry, and took advantage of the situation to seize Da'an County, now hundreds of thousands of Huaguo troops have gathered in Yong'an, the major general has led the army to retreat to the foot of the West Mountain, trapped in Yong'an, sent someone to ask for help! ”

The scout rode hurriedly in front of Wang Qian, the main general of the Qin State, turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and reported.

"What?"

"How is that possible? Huaguo was able to mobilize 400,000 steppe cavalry? ”

As soon as the scout's words fell, the generals of the Qin army around Wang Jian shook one after another, and many of them exclaimed in disbelief.

"Sure enough, it's a big problem!"

Hearing the news, Wang Jian tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand, slowly closed his eyes and sighed softly.

400,000 steppe cavalry, plus the original 150,000 elites, the army mobilized by Hua in this battle has reached 550,000, and being able to launch such a huge army shows that Hua's armament mobilization ability has been able to compete with Qin.

Moreover, this is not the greatest mobilization capacity of Huaguo, Wang Jian is not yet convinced, according to the news from the spies, in only one year of the first year of the emperor's reign, the population of all ethnic groups who have joined Huaguo can be as much as 10 million.

If it is really as rumored by the outside world, Sima Yu, the emperor of Huaguo, is the king of all tribes and can mobilize all tribes at will, then how terrible will the already rich Huaguo be.

"Mingjin retreats!"

After closing his eyes and being silent for a long time, Wang Jian opened his eyes and looked ahead, calmly ordering the troops to be withdrawn.

"Woo woo woo~"

Mingjin's horn soon sounded on the battlefield, and countless Qin soldiers besieging the city began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Dongchan City Head

"Big brother, why did the Qin army retreat suddenly?"

Looking at the sunset still hanging on the top of the mountain, and looking at the rapidly retreating Qin soldiers, Guan Yu stroked his beard and wondered.

"Yes, the withdrawal of the Qin army this time is indeed very suspicious, and immediately send more people out of the city to find out the truth!"

Liu Bei, who looked tired, also had a look of doubt on his face, and after thinking about it, he ordered to the guards beside him.

"Wow!!"

"Our reinforcements are coming!"

"Reinforcements are coming!"

That night, when the news of the victory of the Chinese army in Gongzhou spread throughout the city, all the officers and men of the entire Shu Han army were greatly boosted and shouted loudly, saving the military spirit that was already on the verge of collapse.

On the second day, the Qin army did not continue to attack as usual, and the entire camp was calm.

In the face of this situation, the Shu Han army, which was greatly invigorated, did not dare to make the slightest move, and for a time the entire Dongchan City fell into a short period of peace.

In Shunqing City, Chongzhou, the head of the Han Dynasty, Shi Luzhao's mansion, the carriages and horses flowed, and people came and went, a lively scene.

Today is the day when Shi Luzhao, the governor of the Han Dynasty, held a political discussion meeting in the palace this month, and all these vehicles in front of the palace came to participate in the political discussion.

Since June 30, the second year of the emperor's reign, Wu Han, the king of Han, led 300,000 Han troops to attack Qin, everything in the entire Shunqing City has been in the hands of this No. 2 person in the Han Palace, whether it is the minister of the court or the captains of various schools, there are many people promoted by Lu Zhao.

Wu Han did have a hand in governing the army and conquest, but he was not very proficient in governing one side and officialdom politics, and he relied on Lu Zhao to stabilize the rear in order to quickly pacify Chongzhou.

Originally, Lu Zhao had always assisted Wu Han wholeheartedly, and he had never had two hearts, but the words of Zhang Lu, the envoy of Hua Guo, made Lu Zhao's heart feel strange.

It is true that as Zhang Lu said, Wu Han is a good general, a good boss, but he is definitely not a good master, violent and unscrupulous, likes to act at will, in the turbulent times of fierce competition, all this is destined to make him unable to create the career he wants, and Chongzhou will be taken by others sooner or later.

Lu Zhao, who had this thought in his heart, acted differently than before, and subconsciously he had taken advantage of Wu Han's expedition to seize most of the power in the entire Shunqing City and even Chongzhou, and most of the people who were still in the confidential position were his confidants.

Yesterday, the news of the great victory of the Hua Guojun in Gongzhou had reached Lu Zhao's ears, and it is believed that many big figures in the entire Shunqing City already knew about it.

"Brother Cao, do you feel that there are a lot of people who come to participate in the political discussion today, and most of them are still officials!"

In a corner of the Lufu Discussion Hall, a Confucian scholar looked at the slowly gathering crowd in the hall, and said to his friend Cao Song on the side with a puzzled face.

"I don't know, I'm afraid something big is happening"

Cao Song also felt the abnormality of the atmosphere in the hall, shook his head and said in a low voice.

In order to broaden the way of speech and discuss the correct governance of the country, Lu Zhao deliberately built a wide political discussion hall in the Lu Mansion, which is thousands of square meters large and can accommodate thousands of people to discuss politics at the same time.

Although Lu Zhao is the governor of the Han Dynasty, but in the past, because of the taboo of forming a party for personal gain, most of the people who came to participate in the political discussion were mainly talented bachelors who were not official, and Lu Zhao occasionally invited one or two friends who had officials to come to make a cameo comment, and many of the current political arguments commented on at the political meeting would become a hot topic in Shunqing City, and occasionally some talented bachelors would be favored by the palace and promoted to officials.

This is also one of the reasons why the Lu Fu Political Conference has been able to continue to be hot.

However, it is the first time that a large number of high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in Shunqing City have gathered like today, and many people have a premonition that something big will happen.

"General Bao has arrived!"

"Lang Zhong ordered Lord Tang to arrive!"

"General Zuo, the captain of the city gate, has arrived!"

。。。。。。

Sure enough, not long after the conversation between the two, a series of heavyweight roll calls came from the door of the hall.

A group of talented scholars looked over and found that Hao Ran was a group of high-ranking officials of the palace who stayed in Shunqing City, and the leader in front was the master Lu Zhao, who led a group of people towards the upper position arranged in the hall.

Now the whole hall exploded, and there was a hum of whispering everywhere.
