At the same time that Guan Yi was deeply worried and uneasy, in the Jinluan Hall in Chengdu, Liu Chan, the heir sitting on the dragon chair, was feeling the torment of ice and fire.

Many of the civil and military officials under the court have not met for a long time, and since the death of the former general Fei Yi, he has rarely sat in the court seriously.

The strange thing is that when his fat body fell on the dragon chair again, familiar faces vaguely appeared in front of him, from the ignorance and naivety of Zhuge Kongming when he was the first to sit in the court and listen to things, to the high-spirited self-regents of state affairs after the death of Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and other important ministers, the bits and pieces of experience over the past decades have passed through my mind one by one, and I have a special taste.

Since Fei Yi died, I don't know when I started, I was tired of endless twists and turns and trivial matters of court and politics, and like a finch that broke free from the shackles, he hid far away in the gentle township of the harem, where he was tired of it, and enjoyed the wind and snow accompanied by fine wine and beauties.

But no matter how good the wine is, no matter how beautiful and gentle the beauty is, there is still a greasy day after all, but I have never been relieved. Now, when I return to the court again, everything is so familiar and unfamiliar, but I no longer seem to be able to find the passion I once had when I took charge of state affairs.

Has the world changed or has human feelings changed?

"Your Majesty, Guan Yi, the commander of the cavalry, sent a six-hundred-mile urgent military report from Jiangyoushu, and Wei General Deng Ai personally led tens of thousands of elite soldiers out of the Yinping Trail, intending to sneak attack Chengdu, Jiangyoushu is in a hurry, and I hope Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible."

Shang Shuling Fan Jian's clear voice interrupted Liu Chan's thoughts. When Guan Yi wrote the recital, he repeatedly told him that the recital must first be delivered to Fan Jian, the order of the Zhishang Scholar, and then ask Fan Jian to forward it to Liu Chan. Otherwise, once it falls into the hands of Huang Hao and other traitorous eunuchs, it is very likely that they will hide it and not report it, and miss the military situation.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

As soon as Fan Jian's words fell, he immediately caused a commotion among the ministers of civil and military affairs. The news they received was that after Deng Ai failed to contain the general Jiang Wei in Yuzhong, he was stationed in Yuzhong and did not continue to march in the army, but when did he climb the Yinping Trail to attack Jiangyoushu? From Yinping to Jiangyoushu, but the rugged mountain road that stretches for more than 700 miles, during which it has to cross the extremely dangerous Sky Ridge, could it be that the Wei soldiers have grown wings?

Although the civil and military forces couldn't believe this report, they could see from Liu Chan and Fan Jian's tightly locked frowns that this matter was true, and Deng Ai really came over the Mojiu Tianling.

Appalling, incredible.

"This, what is the best plan for the Qing and the others, you can play it quickly, and share your worries with me!"

Liu Chan, whose mind was in a mess, really couldn't think of any good way, so he turned his head and glanced at Huang Hao, a regular servant standing aside, and kicked the problem to the civil and military ministers under the court.

Huang Hao is also the master of the six gods at this time, in addition to asking for help in Liu Chan's eyes, there is also a trace of coldness that he can't see through, is it blame or resentment? This made him unsure for a while, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, since he was able to serve by Liu Chan's side, Liu Chan almost obeyed him, and was doubly favored, and he also got supreme glory and power because of it, but where did he have such a cold look that made him feel uneasy?

Just when Cao Wei had just started to attack Shu on three routes, Huang Hao received an urgent document from the border pass, but he was superstitious about the danger of the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty, and secretly laughed that the Wei army's attack on Shu was just a fool's dream, so he didn't care at all.

At the same time, in order to abolish Jiang Wei, the great general who had a long-standing dislike with him, Huang Hao supported the right (great) general Yan Yu*, who was in collusion with him, to control the military power, and cut off a major obstacle to his control of the government. Huang Hao's clever words made him use witchcraft to deceive Liu Chan, falsely claiming that Liu Chan was the true son of heaven and was protected by God, so the Wei soldiers would never dare to send troops to invade the country, and even said that in a few years, Cao Wei's territory would also be returned to the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty would therefore be forever solid, and it would remain unchanged for thousands of generations.

What's worse is that this kind of nonsense that even a three-year-old child can't deceive, but Liu Chan is convinced. It wasn't until Wei General Zhonghui's 100,000 army seized the passes of various cities in Hanzhong with a devastating momentum that Huang Hao realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly carried the heir's false holy decree, ordering Liao Hua, Dong Ju and others to raise troops to rescue Hanshou, Jiange and other dangerous places......

But what Huang Hao didn't expect was that although Zhong Hui's soldiers were blocked in front of the Sword Pavilion Heavenly Danger by Jiang Wei, who came back in time, Deng Ai was willing to take the risk and personally led his troops to smuggle across the Yinping Trail, and in the blink of an eye, he hit Jiang Youshu.

Huang Hao understood in his heart that Liu Chan's glance just now, whether it was blame or resentment, conveyed a meaning, he was clearly angry that he had delayed the military plane and put the Han in danger.

Huang Hao knew that although Liu Chan did not say it in front of a group of civil and military ministers, one might be thinking of his favor and trust in the past, otherwise once Liu Chan opened his mouth, there would inevitably be some ministers in the court who were dissatisfied with his manipulation of power, and took advantage of the situation to impeach himself, then he would not be able to eat and walk around.

Although Liu Chan is not a virtuous king, he is not a mediocre person, and he also knows that many of the courtiers are extremely dissatisfied with him, but because Liu Chan favors him, he dares to be angry and dare not speak. In addition, there may be another reason that the current military situation is urgent, so Liu Chan has no time to settle accounts with himself, but once Liu Chan eases up and comes to him to settle accounts, his life and death will be worried.

As soon as he thought of this, Huang Hao became more and more frightened, and his back was already in a cold sweat. Listening to Fan Jian's words, although Deng Ai arrived at Jiangyoushu, he was blocked in front of the pass by the cavalry captain Guan Yi and could not pass for a while. This is good news for Huang Hao, Jiang Youshu is one of the four major Xiongguan in Shu, its steepness is no less than the danger of the Sword Pavilion, if Deng Ai is defeated in Jiang Youshu, then he is confident that with Liu Chan's favor to him in the past and his own clever tongue, he has eight * ninety percent of the certainty to find a glimmer of life.

In this way, the key at the moment is that Guan Yi must hold Jiang Youshu.

It's just that I don't know who this person is called Guan Yi? Huang Hao thought for a long time, and finally remembered that Guan Yi's brother was the husband of Princess Pingyang, the general Guan Tong of Huben Zhonglang, and inherited the title of Marquis of Hanshouting of the Guan family.

In Huang Hao's impression, Guan Tong died early, and Guan Yi inherited the title of Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion as a concubine, and then received a large amount of gold and silver from the treasury, even if he disappeared without a trace. Over the years, Guan Yi has never heard from him, but when did he go to Jiangyoushu? Moreover, Deng Ainai is a famous general of Cao Wei, and he uses soldiers like a god, and he doesn't know what kind of ability this Guan Yi has, so he can predict in advance that the Wei army will sneak attack Yinping Xiaodao.

At this moment, where does Huang Hao not have the heart to speculate? I only hope that Guan Yi can hold Jiang Youshu and repel Deng Ai, otherwise if Deng Ai really breaks Jiang Youshu, then he will definitely die.

A brief moment of uneasiness and whispering was followed by an eerie silence, so silent that a pin could be heard.

Liu Chan was disappointed again, whether it was among the three princes or the emperor's relatives, wherever his eyes went, he lowered his head and did not dare to collide with his gaze.

It is no wonder that the Wei soldiers invaded in a big way, most of Hanzhong was lost, the border was in an emergency, at this moment it was already the time of life and death, the civil and military officials who had followed Emperor Zhaolie in the court and ruled the world have basically disappeared, and the remaining young generation is accustomed to the days of pampering and pampering, many people have not even been on the battlefield, and the heroic deeds of the older generation across the battlefield are just old legends, and it is really difficult for them to share their worries for the country at such a severe time.

Of course, there is another key question that Liu Chan does not know. Since Chen Qin and Huang Hao took power, they have been arrogant and blinded Shengcong. Now the high-ranking officials in the court have chosen to retire with moderation and righteousness, out of sight and out of mind; Those who are greedy for glory and wealth either let them do whatever they want, or collude with each other and act as each other's inside and outside, and such a group of officials naturally cannot be counted on when a major event is approaching. The politics of the Han Dynasty have penetrated into the bone marrow, and it is difficult to cure in the urgency.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a word!" It was Shang Shu Ling Fan Jian who spoke, his voice was not high, but it was just right, which alleviated the awkward atmosphere between Liu Chan and the ministers.

"Weichen thinks that the Wei soldiers are attacking on three roads, although most of Hanzhong is lost, but the siege of Hancheng, Lecheng and the gold guarded by the veteran Liu Yin is still in the hands of our army, and the 30,000 main forces under the command of the general Jiang Wei are now guarding the Sword Pavilion, although Zhonghui has 100,000 troops, it is not passable, and the soldiers along the way are not enough to worry. As long as our army holds all the dangerous passes, the walls are clear, and the walls are clear, and the Wei soldiers will be chaotic, and then our army can take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and Deng Ai will be captured by our army.

"Qing's words are very agreeable, there are still 50,000 Yulin soldiers and horses in Chengdu, but I don't know who can be the general and lead the troops to reinforce Jiangyoushu?" Liu Chan was not stupid after all, and immediately sorted out his head under Fan Jian's reminder.

Who knew that Fan Jian shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty doesn't need to use others to lead the troops anymore. Since he can predict in advance that the Wei soldiers will sneak attack Jiangyoushu on the Yinping Trail, he is bound to have a perfect strategy to retreat from the enemy, according to the minister's opinion, His Majesty can issue an edict to grant him the official title, and the general military will take charge of the Jiangyou Army, and the reinforcements and horses everywhere will be dispatched by him, so he will break the enemy. ”

Guan Yi is a person, Liu Chan is naturally familiar with it. When he was specially ordered to choose people to form his subordinates, it was actually because the Guan family had made great contributions to the establishment of the Han Dynasty, but he was pitiful that his eldest brother Guan Tong died early, and the Guan family Ding Yi was zero, and it was only Guan Yi's youthful temperament, greedy for playing nonsense, where did he want to get the time of life and death, but it was this milky Guan Yi who saved the fate of the Han Dynasty, which can be said to have its own certainty in the dark.

However, Fan Jian's proposal made Liu Chan hesitate a little, and said in his heart: "Deng Ai is a famous general of the Wei State, although Guan Yi is talented, but after all, he is young and immature, and he may not be his opponent!" ”

"Your Majesty is very true!" Doctor Guanglu Zhou took over the conversation and went out to play: "Deng Ai's smuggling into Yinping is a matter of life and death for my Han, how can I put a big deal into a weak crown?" If there is a loss, the Han is in danger. Weichen thought that His Majesty should choose among the ministers to recruit generals who are accustomed to war and lead the troops to defend the Yujiang Oil Army, so as to save the case! ”

As soon as these words came out, more than half of the courtiers nodded yes, obviously agreeing with Qian Zhou's opinion. These people may not be in the same camp as Qian Zhou, nor are they opposed to Fan Jian. It's just that Guan Yi is really unknown in the Han court, and if these people want to put the safety of the Han Dynasty and their own net worth and life in the hands of a hairy boy who they don't know and has no prestige, they are also unwilling to do it.

"Your Majesty, don't you hear that in the past, when Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, led the Jiangdong sages, he was eighteen years old; Zhou Lang was only in his thirties when he burned Chibi. It was His Majesty who inherited the throne of the emperor, commanded Sichuan and Shu, and stood with Wei and Wu Ding, and was only seventeen years old. Fan Jian saw that although there were many objections from the ministers of civil and military affairs, he had the bottom in his heart, so he was not in a hurry, and said in a deep voice: "Although Guan Yi is young, the battle of Shimen only ambushed the vanguard of the Wei army with more than a thousand people, killing Deng Zhong and others in a hurry and almost dying, this is the talent of the general!" ”

Liu Chan saw Fan Jian mention the past of his heir, and compared himself with Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and other generations of heroes, not only did he not feel that he had lost his identity, but he was quite proud, and his fat body even unconsciously stood forward in an instant, vaguely having the style of self-photography in the past.

"What Fan Aiqing said is also reasonable, since ancient times, he has been a hero out of a young man......"

"Your Majesty, don't ......"

"Your Majesty, judging from the military report sent by Guan Yi, he has a strategy to retreat from the enemy!" Fan Jian saw that Qian Zhou wanted to discourage him, so he hurriedly took advantage of Liu Chan's happy face, cut off Qian Zhou's words, and said loudly: "The minister is not talented, and he is willing to take the lives of more than 20 people in the family as a guarantee for Guan Yi. ”

"Aiqing's words are serious!" Seeing that Fan Jian was willing to come forward to guarantee Guan Yi, Liu Chan's heart was bright, and he nodded when he heard the words: "Since Aiqing said so, what doubts do I have?" Guan Yi is talented, I have always known it, and the seizure of power is meritorious and not guilty. Qing Ke proclaimed on my behalf, sealed Guan Yi as the captain of Xiao Cai, gave the tiger talisman, led the governor of the river and the governor of Zhulu to rescue the soldiers and horses, and then broke the enemy. On the day of success, I should have another reward, don't live up to my expectations! ”

"Command!" Fan Jian was overjoyed when he saw that Liu Chan had agreed to his invitation.

Although the captain of the Xiao cavalry and the captain of the cavalry are both of the same rank and rank, the captain of the cavalry led by Guan Yi is a fictitious position subordinate to the inner garden Yu Linwei, and there is no fixed number, while the current captain of the Xiao cavalry has the real power to lead the troops, and the two are not the same. In other words, Liu Chan trusts himself from the bottom of his heart, otherwise it is impossible to allow it and hand over the military power to Guan Yi, after all, this matter is related to the life and death of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Chan cannot be allowed to play.

Seeing that Liu Chan had already made a holy decision, and this matter was categorically difficult to change, Qian Zhou secretly sighed in his heart, so he had to shake his head slightly, bowed back to the class, and said no more.

The plan of the monarch and the ministers has been decided, and the heir immediately issued an edict, so that Pegasus sent a report to Fuxian, Mianzhu and other places near the passes, and immediately mobilized troops and horses to reinforce Jiangyoushu first. Later, with Fan Jian as an angel, Li Qiu, Zhang Zun, and Huang Chong were selected from Yu Linwei, and 20,000 Yu Linwei from Chengdu were selected, and they rushed to Jiangyoushu in the starry night.

Note: Yan Yu's official position is the right (great) general, not the (right) general. That is to say, Yan Yu's official position is the right general, but because of his high qualifications, the title is increased before the title, and he is the right (great) general.
