It was another heavy snowfall, and most of the Longshan Pass was blocked, although the Cao army could not launch an attack at this time, but the details of going to Longdong could not transmit back the enemy's intelligence in time. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the face of Cao Ying, who was good at surprise soldiers, Liu Bei did not dare to relax in the case of lack of intelligence, so he sent a group of scouts to closely monitor the trails in Longshan, in case Cao Ying also played a trick of "repairing the plank road in the bright and secretly crossing the Chen Cang".

When he got up early in the morning, Liu Bei couldn't stop coughing, and his head felt a little groggy, as if he was also infected with the wind cold.

Just because yesterday he had made a plan, saying that he was going to Nanying to inspect, Liu Bei was afraid that the army's heart would be shaken, so he hid his illness, braved the heavy snow and wind and cold and still went to Nanying, and after returning from the inspection, the snot became heavier and his head was more dizzy.

In the afternoon, after taking the decoction boiled by Langzhong, Liu Beimeng slept in several layers of quilts for a whole afternoon, and after waking up at night, his body improved slightly.

At this time, Fang Shao and Fa Zhengyan had something important to meet, Liu Bei was thinking about military and political affairs, so he forced his sick body to summon the two of them in, but they were wrapped in quilts and received around the stove.

As soon as the two of them saw Liu Bei's condition, they knew that the king of Hanzhong was sick, and they couldn't help but be taken aback, Fang Shao hurriedly said: "King, isn't your body unwell?" ”

Liu Bei coughed lightly, but with a smile on his pale face, he said lightly: "It's okay, it's just a little bit of wind chill." Don't say it, lest you let the soldiers know and shake the morale of the army. ”

Fang Shao sighed lightly, "We have our own measure of this, but the king is in danger of the world, so we should pay more attention to our body." ”

Liu Bei also sighed: "Although it is not a serious illness, but you must know that Gu is also in the north, which is what the wind and snow are originally, but I didn't expect to live in the south for a long time, and now I am a little unsuitable for the winter in the north, it seems that Gu is really old." ”

'You're in your fifties, you're almost sixty, and you're only now realizing that you're old, and it seems that this mentality is really good.' Fang Shao secretly thought in his heart, he looked at Liu Bei's face, compared to when he was in Jingzhou, it did add a lot of wrinkles, it seems that the years are not forgiving, and the twilight of the hero will not be able to escape after all.

After Liu Bei sighed, he asked, "You two came to see Gu at this time, there must be something important, right?" ”

At this time, the two of them reacted, and a smile appeared on their faces, and Fa Zheng hurriedly presented a report to Liu Bei, and said with a smile: "If the king reads this information, his body may heal because of joy." ”

Liu Bei took it and took a closer look, and the whole person jumped out of the quilt and shouted excitedly: "Cao Ying has withdrawn!" ”

That's right, Cao's army retreated, after hearing the news of the rebellion in the Central Plains, Cao Ying had to give up the plan to recapture Longxi and Liangzhou with difficulty, and left Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Guo Huai and others to lead 60,000 soldiers to guard Guanzhong, and personally led the army back to Guandong to quell the rebellion.

In fact, Cao Ying withdrew his troops as early as five days ago, but because the heavy snow closed the mountain and it was inconvenient to pass through the fine work, it took so long to delay the delivery of the information.

As soon as he heard the news of Cao Ying's withdrawal, Liu Bei was so happy that he forgot about his illness, and said excitedly: "Since the rebellion in the Central Plains is holding Cao Ying, why not take advantage of the situation to move the army eastward and capture Guanzhong in one fell swoop." ”

As soon as Liu Bei was excited, he was greedy again, so Fang Shao persuaded: "King, according to the current situation of our army, self-protection is still insufficient, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support another attack." Besides, although Cao Ying's main force went, Xiahou Yuan, who stayed in the town pass, was not a vegetarian, as long as he guarded the passage east of Longshan, we were also helpless as Cao Ying was before. ”

Fa Zheng also persuaded: "Zhongzheng is reasonable, now in order to fight for Longxi, Yizhou can be said to have done its best, and his savings for many years have been empty. For the sake of today's plan, when it is time to recuperate and recuperate, consolidate the existing achievements, and wait until the grain of Longxi and Liangzhou can be fed on the spot to support the army, then we can raise troops to the east and enter Guanzhong. ”

Fang Shao followed: "Yes, now that the king is in poor health, he should also take this opportunity to recover from his illness." ”

After some persuasion by the two strategists, Liu Bei Fang reined in his greed, so after another half a month, after 100% confirming the news of Cao Ying's retreat, Liu Bei dared to order the retreat.

After some careful consideration, Liu Bei coordinated the overall situation and made a new personnel deployment.

With Pang Tong as the history of Yongzhou Thorn, supervise the political affairs of the counties of Longxi, and act the affairs of the Great Sima Mansion, with Zhang Fei to the military of Yongzhou, led the army of 20,000 to stay in Longxi. With Fa Zheng as the history of Liangzhou, supervising the political affairs of Liangzhou, participating in the affairs of the Great Sima Mansion, and leading an army of 10,000 with Ma Dai to supervise the military of Liangzhou. moved the Great Division's Mansion into Hanzhong, with Ma Chao as the Taishou of Hanzhong, transferred Zhuge Liang to Hanzhong, and acted as the affairs of the Great Sima Mansion. Dong He was engaged in the governance of Yizhou, and stayed in Yizhou for political affairs. Liu Feng was transferred to Bajun Taishou and sat in Jiangzhou. With Chen Zhi as Zilu, he is too guarded and sits in Zilu. The rest of Fang Shao, Huang Zhong and other meritorious ministers who went out to fight, Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan and other ministers who governed the government, and Li Yan and other ministers who countered the rebellion were also marquis.

Liu Bei's personnel appointment this time took a lot of thought. First of all, Longxi and Liangzhou are the hometowns of the Guanlongshi people like Fazheng, so in the new counties, the Guanlongshi people occupy most of the Taishou, and Fazheng is also the post of Liangzhou Assassin, which is not only a reward for the Guanlongshi people, but also a kind of attraction and encouragement.

However, Liu Bei led the Yongzhou Assassin History with Pang, supervised the Yongzhou military with Zhang Fei, and the newly acquired land, such as Tianshui, was the Taishou of such a critical place, and he was appointed as a Jingzhou scholar, or his trusted minister, which was also a kind of clamp on the Guanlongshi people.

For Ma Chao, of course, Liu Bei was not at ease to let him gain real power in Longxi and Liangzhou, but he was afraid of colding his heart, so he let him be the Taishou of Hanzhong, which was not only a kind of trust, but also put him by his side, easy to control, and used his younger brother Ma Dai to supervise the military of Liangzhou, but it showed his trust in the Ma family.

And because with the conquest of Longxi and other places, if Chengdu is still located in the remote area as the core, it is obviously not conducive to grasping the overall situation, so Liu Bei moved the Dasima Mansion to Hanzhong, the center of Jingyi Yongliang, in order to control Siyi Prefecture more conveniently.

And it was precisely because of this that Liu Bei had to transfer Zhuge Liang to Hanzhong to preside over the affairs of the Great Sima Mansion. Although Dong He was in charge of Yizhou political affairs, Liu Bei was not at ease, so Chen Zhi, who was born as a pro-soldier general, was the Taishou of Zilu, and firmly controlled the key points from Hanzhong to Chengdu. At the same time, he also ordered Liu Feng to be the Taishou of Ba County, and the military governor of Badong, Fuling and Brazil, these three counties are the place where the two states of Jingyi meet, and Liu Bei sits in these three counties with his adopted son, and his intention is naturally self-evident.

Of course, Liu Bei's means of employing people is indeed first-class, like Huang Zhong and other fierce generals, although he is brave in battle, but Liu Bei also knows that he has no ability to sit on one side, such as Fang Shao, a top strategist, although he has repeatedly made strange plans, but the talent of governance is his weakness, therefore, Liu Bei gave these two types of meritorious ministers is a marquis reward.

And because Fa Zheng and Pang Tong were sitting outside, and Zhuge Liang was busy with government affairs, Fang Shao became the number one strategist by Liu Bei's side.

After a series of personnel deployments, Liu Bei led 90,000 soldiers and horses back to Hanzhong, and the remaining nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses stayed in the town and Liangzhou, Longxi and other key places.

When Liu Bei calmly returned to Hanzhong from Longxi, Cao Ying had already rushed back to Xudu with a sense of anger.

Cao Ying first ordered Cao Ren to extinguish the rebellion of the people of Tuntian in Nanyang, and then ordered Cao Hong to suppress the rebellion in several counties near Luoyang, and severely cracked down on the officials and people in the rebellious areas.

And when Cao Ying arrived in Xudu, a large-scale purge immediately began.

Before Cao Ying arrived, some officials in Xudu had launched a mutiny in an attempt to seize control of Xudu, but they were extinguished by Xiahou Yin because of their weak strength. After Cao Ying returned to Xudu, he did not stop doing anything, and searched for more than 200 Han officials who were related to the rebellion. He replaced all the Han officials in the imperial court with his cronies, and replaced the guards inside and outside the palace, and at the same time ordered Cao Xiu to serve as the palace guard, completely putting the Han Emperor under his own surveillance.

Under severe torture, someone confessed that Fu Wan also participated in the previous rebellion, so Cao Ying immediately ordered all the Fu Wan clan to be imprisoned, and ordered Shang Shu to order Hua Xin to lead troops into the palace to arrest Queen Fu.

In the Han Palace, there was a lot of forest.

Liu Xie stared blankly at the sky outside the hall, the white clouds were long, and the sky was blue, but his face was full of grief.

At this time, a bird swept under the eaves, screaming happily and flying into the sky, so that it was not at ease.

Liu Xie sighed and muttered: "I, the emperor, are not as comfortable as a bird, alas, what is the meaning of living." ”

When Liu Xie was sighing, he saw Queen Fu crying and running into the palace, kneeling in front of Liu Xie, and cried: "Your Majesty, Duke Wei sent all the concubines and concubines to prison, and I beg Your Majesty to find a way to rescue you." ”

Faced with Queen Fu's cry, Liu Xie was not too surprised, but gently helped her up and sighed: "When I heard about the rebellion in Xuchang, I knew that there would be such a result. Queen, it's not that I don't want to save the country's family, but I can't do anything about it. ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" Empress Fu also knew that he, the emperor's husband, was in name only, and when she heard his words, she had no choice but to throw herself into his arms and cry and cry.

Just when he was sad and sad, suddenly heavy footsteps came, and in a moment, he saw Shang Shu Ling Hua Xin rushing into the palace with hundreds of armor soldiers.

As soon as Hua Xin saw Queen Fu, his eyes immediately showed a fierce light, and he shouted: "On the order of Duke Wei, arrest the traitor Fu Shi and send him to prison, and you don't do it quickly." ”

Soldier A rushed forward and dragged the frightened Queen Fu out of Liu Xie's arms. Queen Nafu cried and howled, and pulled Liu Xie to death. In the end, the soldiers had a little awe of the emperor, so they didn't dare to push too hard when they saw that Queen Nafu was pulling the emperor to death.

Seeing this, Hua Xin stepped forward in a few steps, grabbed Empress Fu's hair and dragged it fiercely, Empress Fu only felt that her scalp was about to crack, and she had to let go under the severe pain, and the soldiers took the opportunity to drag her away from the emperor.

Liu Xie saw that the queen was taken away, she must be dead or alive, and under the cowardice, he couldn't care about the identity of the emperor, so he begged in front of Hua Xin: "Hua Shangshu, please look at my thin face, let the queen go, please......"

The dignity is swept away, let alone the emperor, even ordinary people are inferior.
