『Chapter error, click here to report』

Wancheng guard general Hou Yin, Fancheng guard general Zhao Hao, and Xinye guard general Chen Tang announced that they would respond to the republic and secede from the Great Wei. Coupled with the surrender of the army led by Yu Ban, this directly pushed the situation irreversible.

At the beginning of February, Mao Luan ordered the deputy commander Zhou Tai to lead 30,000 troops to Nanyang County to collect Hou Yin, Zhao Hao, and Chen Tang, and take Nanyang County by the way.

When the Nanyang Shi clan heard of the arrival of the Chenhe army, they fled one after another and went north to Hanoi County, Luoyang and other places.

Wherever Zhou Tai's army went, there was very little resistance, and occasionally resistance, and he waved his hands and scum, not in the same order of magnitude.

Zhou Tai first arrived in Suixian, and the county ordered the Wenchen River army to arrive, and the city was greeted by Kaicheng. Then to Fuyang, the county magistrate was directly bombed in the city tower, and there were no bones.

Before Zhou Tai arrived in Caiyang, the guards had already hung white flags all over the city tower.

After converging the three divisions of Hou Yin, Zhao Hao, and Chen Tang, Zhou Tai's army increased to 50,000 people.

Zhou Tai's army was divided into five parts, each taking two counties, only five days, Nanyang County west to Wudang Mountain, north to Ye County, all republic.

At this time, Yang Xi and Yang Xiu, two surnamed Yang, had already arrived in Fancheng, and Zhao Hao, the former guard of Fancheng, personally accompanied them.

The Han River flows from the edge of Fancheng, and Xiangyang is opposite.

At this time, the ancient city of Xiangyang is no longer the main body of Xiangyang City, and the real Xiangyang City is far beyond the scope of the ancient city wall.

Zhao Hao pointed to a 30-storey building on the other side of the river and said: "Führer, please see, that is the Nanjun Trade Center, which was just completed at the end of last year, and the 18-story building next to it is the town center with the financial building, convention and exhibition center, and opera house as the main body. ”

Yang Xi nodded, and looked back at the ancient buildings and low houses in Fancheng.

"Alas! I should have come a long time ago, this is across the river, one in the sky and one underground. It is said that Xiangyang City has a population of one million, and the total economic volume of one city has exceeded that of the entire Nanyang County, which is my fault. This Nanyang County once led 37 counties, but it was the largest county in the world. ”

"Dezu, I give you a task, after you lead the governor of Yiyang County and the second county of Nanjun, the first priority is to build a bridge here, I want to build a bridge in Fancheng, and also build a bridge like Xinyang City to communicate the north and south. Fancheng also has to catch up with Xiangyang on the opposite side. ”

"The head of state can rest assured that he will spare no effort to build the two counties well."

Nanyang County is governed in Wancheng, and the Wancheng Depot belonging to Xinyang Industrial Company has regained its vitality, and Cao Zhi went to inspect it in person and cut the ribbon from the new.

Even during the period when Yiyang County and Nanyang County were subjugated, great changes also took place in the north. Zhang Liao took 100,000 people, took Lecheng, went down to Liaoxi County, and incorporated the entire Liaoshui basin into the Chenhe country.

Weigua of Donglai County defeated the defending army of Jinan County and killed the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Huchuquan, and the remnants of the Xiongnu and part of the Wei army were almost wiped out.

At this time, Wei Gua was marching into Taishan County.

The army horses of Zu Lang and Cai Kao also achieved good results, and there were no more Wei soldiers and horses in the entire Xuzhou, and Runan County was basically pacified. Cao Ren and Xu Huang led their troops to retreat and retreated to Yanzhou.

Luoyang, the Imperial Palace, Cao Pi did not reign early.

Situ Jiaxu led a hundred civil and military people, waiting for Cao Pi to go to court, but there was no trace of Cao Pi.

Jia Xu is seventy-four years old, old, and on the surface he is the biggest official in the court.

Sikong Chengyu is older than Jia Xu, both seventy-nine years old, but he still waited tremblingly on crutches for a morning.

Jia Xu and Cheng Yu waited silently, and they were not as anxious as other courtiers.

This may be the reason why these two men lived to this age. As the saying goes, people become good when they are old, and these two people are the best of the best.

At noon, the two glanced at each other and led out of the palace.

On the second day, Situ and Sikong died of illness.

The era of Jia Xu and Cheng Yu has officially come to an end.

Next is the era of Cao Pi and Sima Yi.

However, it was said that Sima Yi led the army and came to Dunhuang County by train, at this time Ma Chao had already knocked open the Yumen Pass with a cannon, bombarded Pingyang Pass, and the army drove straight in.

Dunhuang County leads six counties, which are Dunhuang, Ming'an, Xiaogu, Yuanquan, Guangzhi and Longle. It is bounded by Duanshui and Jiuquan County in the east. When Sima Yi arrived, Ma Chao had already taken Dunhuang County, the seat of governance, and beheaded his guards.

Duanshui, also known as the dark water, is not as vast as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. But it nurtured the ancient peoples such as the Dayue clan, although now the Dayue clan has declined and the Han people have risen, but this origin will still not change.

Sima Yi camped on the east bank of Duanshui, where the vegetation was not lush, with only small weeds and scattered small trees.

On the opposite bank is an endless grassland wasteland, which is sparsely populated, and the entire Dunhuang County is only 200,000 people.

Sima Yi watched the sky at night, we don't care if he understands it or not, anyway, people have seen it. After watching for a while, a middle-aged general walked out next to him, this person's surname is Cao, his name is true, Cao Cao's adopted son, and he is now the general of Zhenxi.

"General, this Ma Chao first won Dunhuang, the people's hearts are not stable, why not raise troops tonight, attack Dunhuang at night, a certain willingness to lead the troops, kill one of them by surprise!"

Sima Yi stroked his beard and said: "Zidan, do you know why Ma Chao used a martial artist to determine the Western Regions, the Imperial Amir, and the Seven Nations Alliance, but in the past ten years, he has grown stronger and stronger?" ”

Cao Zhen shook his head and didn't know.

"There are capable people in his country, there is a national teacher Zhou Budo in the past, and then he has a capable minister Lu Qicai, these two people are thoughtful inside and outside, and they have no last resort. Ma Chao himself is brave, with the help of these two people, and the general Pang De, it is actually difficult to defeat, and he has to think of a perfect strategy. ”

Cao Zhen said: "General, it's not so difficult, in fact, the last general thinks that everything has advantages and disadvantages." This Western Regions country looks like an iron bucket, but in fact, there are still loopholes, as far as I know, this national teacher Zhou is not suspicious, and the origin is unknown. I heard that he was an inferior student expelled from Chenhe University, and after being expelled, he happened to run to the Western Regions. Think about it, where is this thing so coincidental, and from its actions, the Western Regions Country cooperates with the Chenhe Country everywhere, does this person not have the slightest hatred for the affairs of the Chenhe Country? ”

Cao Zhen's words were like an empowerment, which shocked Sima Yi's whole body.

"Why do you look at the last general like this?"

Facing Sima Yi's staring eyes, Cao Zhen was a little stunned.

"Zidan! Actually, you have great talents! ”

After Sima Yi finished speaking, he smiled but did not speak.

Cao Zhen is Cao Cao's adopted son.

His father, Cao Shao, was killed while recruiting soldiers for Cao Cao, and Cao Zhen was adopted by Cao Cao as his adopted son. Because of his appreciation for Cao Zhen's bravery, he let him participate in the tiger and leopard ride. He has served as a partial general and a leader in the middle.

After Cao Pi became emperor, he worshiped Cao Zhen as the general of Zhenxi, the governor of Yongzhou and the military of Liangzhou, and was responsible for guarding the northwest border.

Cao Pi is not a faint king, it is naturally not easy to be appreciated by Cao Cao and reused by Cao Pi. At this time, Sima Yi felt that he was still a little inadequate, and he was a little too blind to anyone, thinking that people in the world could pinch and calculate.

After being reminded by Cao Zhenyi, Sima Yi felt that there must be something strange in the middle, even if there is no strangeness, it must also be created.

The next day, Sima Yi ordered Jiuquan County to release the news and spread it widely.

This news is that it turned out that Zhou Budo, the national teacher of the Western Regions, was pretended to be expelled from school by Chenhe State, and the real reason was that he was sent undercover in the Western Regions.

This week, there is no doubt that his real identity is the director of the Western Regions Office of the Chenhe National Security Agency.

This rumor is full of words, and all kinds of evidence show that Zhou Budo is indeed a faction of the Qinchen River Kingdom, which has to be suspicious.

Sima Yi didn't know that the divisive strategy he used hit the bull's-eye.

It turned out to be true!
