Sure enough, it's an earth-shattering plan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the group had already guessed eight or nine points, when Fang Shao personally announced it, everyone could not suppress the excitement and excitement in their hearts.

Having experienced the baptism of blood and fire, they were not afraid of the impending struggle. They are agitated because they know that the war that is about to take place in the heart of the empire will determine not just individual honor and disgrace, but the future of the entire country.

Where the Han Empire will go or survive will be decided in two days.

No one objected, everyone here, their career and destiny are closely linked to Fang Shao, one is prosperous, one is lost, whether it is out of selfishness or gratitude to Fang Shao, they must stand on Fang Shao's side unconditionally.

The key to the victory of this war was the control of the capital.

The current standing army of the Han State is about 300,000, of which about 150,000 are foreign troops and about 150,000 are Chinese troops.

Among the foreign troops, 10,000 were stationed in Liyang to control the north-south passage of the Yellow River, 10,000 were stationed in Youzhou to guard against the Hu people in the north and guard against the Gongsun regime in Liaodong, and 30,000 were stationed in the Yanzhou and Henan lines.

In the original Wu land, about 50,000 soldiers and horses were also stationed, and Fei Yi, Guan Xing, and Ma Dai were all governors, who were responsible for monitoring and suppressing the resistance forces in Wu land.

The remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses were scattered in Yizhou, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou, mainly to guard against the southern, central, and western regions and northern Zhuhu.

In addition, the Han court still had nearly 150,000 Chinese troops, forming an internal and external balance with the same number of foreign armies.

Of the 150,000 soldiers and horses, 20,000 were stationed in the area of Chencang, responsible for guarding the west of Chang'an, 20,000 were stationed in Beidi County, responsible for guarding the north of Yanjing, and about 30,000 were stationed on the Hongnong line to deal with the threat to Guandong, and 10,000 were stationed in Sanfu County.

This total of 80,000 soldiers and horses was responsible for the defense of the perimeter of the capital. The remaining 70,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in the capital Chang'an, responsible for the guards of the gates of the capital and the palace.

Wei Yan was born in a poor family, and he was Fang Shao's best friend, once the Chang'an incident occurred, if the local officials of Sima Yi and his party in Wei Di rebelled, Wei Yan's ability was enough to calm down.

The Wu Dishi people basically did not participate in the struggle for power and profit in the Han court, so there was no need to worry about rebellion because of the capital incident, even if some people took advantage of the chaos in the central government, although Fei Yi, Guan Xing, Ma Dai and other generations were not Fang Shao's closest descendants, but the struggle between the court and the central government had little to do with these three people, no matter who was in power, it was enough to ensure that they were loyal to the imperial court, and it was not a problem to rely on them to suppress Wu Di.

Hongnong's garrison is a close confidant of the general Zhang Fei, and with Zhang Fei's relationship with his own in-laws, Zhang Fei will also participate in the palace banquet in this incident, so it is enough to ensure that this army of soldiers and horses will not oppose him.

Although the armies of Chencang, Beidi and other places are not Fang Shao's people, many of them have nothing to do with Fang Shao, and these soldiers and horses are far away from Chang'an, so they basically have no impact.

That is to say, the key to the events is the 70,000 central troops stationed in the capital, and most of the 70,000 soldiers and horses are commanded by the central army and the central protection army.

Jiang Wei is Fang Shao's cronie, and Ma Jian is Fang Shao and Zhuge Liang's "common" cronies, and the deployment of his master and apprentice back then was precisely to completely put the armed forces of the Beijing Division under the control of the two of them.

In that banquet list, Jiang Wei and Ma Jian were not listed, Fang Shao originally planned to summon Ma Jian into the palace together, and then Jiang Wei could directly control all the troops in the capital in the name of leading the army.

But then Fang Shao thought that Zhuge Liang was like a god, and if he did this, it would inevitably arouse Zhuge Liang's suspicions, so after thinking twice, he did not include Ma Jian in the banquet list.

The tasks of each person were completed, Deng Ai's task was to lead the army to control the gates of the capital, Wang Ping's task was to control the arsenal, as well as the main roads leading from the outer city to the imperial city, the most important task, Fang Shao handed over to Jiang Wei, and ordered him to lead the army directly into the palace, arrest Sima Yi and his party, put Zhuge Liang and his party under house arrest, and fully take over the defense of the palace.

"Boyo, you have a great responsibility, and the key to success lies in you." Fang Shao stroked Jiang Wei's shoulder and said earnestly and encouragedly.

Back then, when Fang Shao planned to form his own descendant group, Jiang Wei was the first young talent under his command, Jiang Wei was just an unknown official in Tianshui County, it was under Fang Shao's support, more than ten years, Jiang Wei was famous all over the world, at the age of less than 30 years old, he served as the leader of the army, which can be described as an outstanding representative of the rising stars of the Han Kingdom.

In his heart, Jiang Wei can be regarded as Fang Shao's most trusted person, so he can rest assured that the most important key tasks will be entrusted to his hands.

Jiang Wei Zhengse said: "Wei Bi doesn't pay the trust of Da Sima, it's just that Wei Shang has a scruple about it, and he needs Da Sima to show it." ”

"You're worried about Ma Youchang." Fang Shao had expected it.

Jiang Wei nodded: "Exactly, Ma Youchang is the central protector and divides the military power with Wei equally, if this person stands in a hostile position at that time, I am afraid that things will not go well." ”

Fang Shao was silent for a moment, and then resolutely said: "At that time, you can design Ma Youchang to be placed under house arrest, and ordered him to act according to the plan we have drawn up in advance. ”

Fang Shao's flat tone contained a fierce murderous aura, which only made the crowd present awe-inspiring.

Jiang Wei took a deep breath and said angrily, "The last general understands. ”

After each row has been completed, Fang Shao looked around at everyone and said loudly: "You are all people who live and die with Fang Shao, this battle after two days not only determines the future fate of the Han Kingdom, but also determines the life and death and wealth of our country. ”

"Swear to follow Da Sima to the death!" The crowd shouted generously, and the young faces flashed with unprecedented excitement.

………… Two days later.

The grand palace banquet kicked off with the grand scene of civil and military officials entering the palace, which was the largest celebration held in Chang'an City since the enthronement ceremony of the former emperor Liu Bang.

The officials at all levels who participated in the banquet began to enter the palace city one after another after noon, and there was still an endless stream until the evening, and the streets of the palace gates were crowded with the carriages and horses of the officials, and Jiang Wei, the leader of the army, was ordered to deploy thousands of soldiers and horses at the gates of the palace to be responsible for maintaining order.

At the beginning of the lanterns, all the officials arrived in the palace, and in the brilliantly lit Han Palace, the banquet to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager Mi officially began.

The palace gate was closed, the periphery of the palace city was restored to tranquility, and after nightfall, the residents of Chang'an City also retreated and rested, and on the streets, only the occasional patrol Yulin army remained.

At this moment, Ma Tanzheng, the central protector, led the army to patrol around the imperial city, and when he reached the south gate, he bumped into Jiang Wei, the leader of the central army, who was actually on duty, gathering people to drink and have fun.

"Boyo, all the officials are in the palace tonight, we are responsible for it, you are drinking here, you are not afraid that the above will know that you are guilty of dereliction of duty." Ma Tan said with a reproachful tone.

"What are you doing so excited, this is the Yanjing of the big man, what can you do, relax, relax." Jiang Wei carried the wine jar, his mouth was full of the smell of wine, and he said with a smile.

Ma Jian shook his head and sighed with a smile: "You, you, really." ”

"Come, come, come to my tent, let's have a few drinks."

Outside the south gate, in order to be on duty tonight, Jiang Wei specially set up a temporary office military tent, and he immediately pulled Ma Jian to go there.

"I don't want to be punished with you." Of course, Ma Tan refused.

"Don't be so disappointing, the good wine in the banquet doesn't have our share, what's the big deal if you treat yourself, it's okay, let's go."

Ma Yan couldn't resist Jiang Wei's pull, so he ordered the hundreds of subordinates he led to rest on the spot for a while, and he was reluctantly pulled into the tent by Jiang Wei.

was not included in the list of invitees, Ma Jian was naturally a little unhappy in his heart, and he behaved seriously in front of his subordinates, and then he let go as soon as he entered the account, and drank bitterly with Jiang Wei.

"Good wine, really good wine, Boyo, you and I haven't drunk together like this for a long time, and I really miss the time when we used to drink and eat meat together." Ma Jian drank a cup and felt nostalgic for the old things.

At this time, Jiang Wei, who was originally drunk, suddenly became solemn, he put down the wine in the cup, looked directly at Ma Yan, and said coldly: "Young Chang, these old things, it's not too late to recall them in the future." To tell you the truth, I just dragged you to drink, but I did it on purpose. ”

Ma Tan was stunned and looked dazed.

Jiang Wei coughed three times in a row, the tent door suddenly opened, and more than a dozen armor soldiers rushed away.

Seeing this situation, Ma Jian was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Boyo, what do you mean?" ”

Jiang Wei said calmly: "Da Sima was ordered by the Empress Dowager to lead the army into the palace tonight to pacify Pang Tongyi's rebellion against the party. If you think for the country, hand over the talisman and do what I say to your subordinates, if not, don't blame my brother for not remembering the old feelings. ”

After listening to Jiang Wei's words, Ma Jian was shocked in his heart, with his wisdom and resourcefulness, he suddenly realized, Fang Shi understood that all this was a conspiracy that Fang Shao had planned a long time ago, and secretly complained in his heart, secretly sighing that Zhuge Liang still miscalculated a step, but he didn't expect Fang Shao's methods to be so ruthless, Zhuge Liang was still thinking about suppressing it with political means, but Fang Shao was so bold that he wanted to use a mutiny to solve everything.

At this time, Ma Jian was in a dilemma, on the one hand, Zhuge Liang's trust in him, and on the other hand, his personal safety was threatened.

'The prime minister treats me well, and if I betray him at this time and strike a blow against him, I will be infamous in the future. And if you don't comply, at most you will be tied up and forcibly take away the military power, I have followed Fang Sima for so many years, and I think that after he succeeds in the mutiny, he will not do anything to me. ’

Ma Jian made up his mind, and then said generously: "Such a big rebellion, I, Ma Tan, would rather die than give in, Boyo, I advise you not to go astray, it is still too late to stop at this time." ”

Ma Jian showed his attitude, Jiang Wei had nothing to say, shook his head, patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Each for his master, brother, don't blame me." ”

Before the words fell, the cold light flashed, and Ma Yan's chest had been pierced by a long sword.
