"Cao Ying can draw troops, only Xuzhou and Xu Luo, if the soldiers and horses are from Xuzhou, it means that Wei and Wu have reached some kind of secret tacit understanding, if the soldiers and horses are from Xu Luo, it is most likely that there is a problem in Jingzhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ma Tan calmly analyzed.

"I think it's probably the former, and Wu Ren wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." Fang Shao was more inclined to Wei and Wu to reach a secret agreement for an armistice.

However, before he could finish speaking, his own soldiers hurriedly entered and presented another urgent express message sent back from Chang'an to Fang Shao.

Fang Shao took a look, and the whole person was instantly stunned, as if he had encountered something strange that he had never expected in his life.

Fang Shao has always been the kind of person who is confident in his chest and is not afraid of danger in the face of any complex and dangerous situation, but now he suddenly showed such a strong look of horror, obviously it was not good news from Chang'an.

"Da Sima, what happened." Everyone asked one after another.

After being stunned for a moment, Fang Shao's expression returned to normal, but there was still a little worry between his eyebrows, he threw the information on the case, and said coldly: "Wu State raided Jingzhou, General Guan's army was isolated north of Hanshui, and the situation in Jingzhou is very bad." ”

The generals were also shocked when they heard this, and they circulated the information together, and Fang Shi confirmed the accurate surname of the facts.

"It seems that the Wu people not only reached an armistice agreement with the Wei state, but also ...... Also put on the same pair of pants. Ma Jian gritted his teeth and scolded.

At this moment, Fang Shao felt like waking up from a dream, and he deeply felt that Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, as well as himself, and even the decision-making level of the entire Han Kingdom, were too confident in this attack on Wei, and they all misjudged the rapid change of Wu's policy.

If you empathize and look at the situation of the whole world from the perspective of Wu Guo, then it should be clear that the trend of the Great Han Kingdom sweeping the world is almost a foregone conclusion, and because of this, considering the truth of the cold lips and teeth, Sun Quan has no reason not to take precautions in advance.

In fact, Fang Shao had also considered this layer in advance, but he didn't expect Sun Quan to be so bold this time, and still dare to launch such a reckless surprise attack when the Great Han Kingdom was so powerful, as if he was desperate, and he was not afraid of what kind of revenge he would receive.

"Sun Quan, Sun Quan, I underestimated you this time." Fang Shao said with emotion.

At this time, Wang Jun said: "Da Sima, now that Jingzhou is in danger, and the overall situation of the Wei Dynasty has turned to our disadvantage, at this time, is it time to consider withdrawing troops." ”

Wang Jun's words were echoed by most of the generals present, and although they didn't squeak, Fang Shao could read the thoughts in their eyes.

Fang Shao suddenly stood up and paced in the tent, obviously he was in the dilemma of choosing again.

The success of the battle of Yecheng last year fell short, and the memory is still fresh, but the success of the hand was turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, and this time, it seems that the right time and place and all the people are in their own hands, is it necessary to return again in vain?

As if at this moment, the fate of the world was in Fang Shao's hands, and an inexplicable excitement suddenly surged in his heart, which gradually overshadowed his anxiety and prompted him to make a decision.

When he returned to the main seat, his expression had completely recovered and even brought on a slight smile, which was obviously unexpected by everyone present.

"Haven't we been fighting for so many years just to win the battle of today? Now that the destruction of Yecheng is in sight, how can we give up halfway, I have decided not to destroy Yecheng, not to destroy the Wei State, and not to teach the class. ”

Fang Shao's resoluteness made the generals feel encouraged, and at the same time, it also added a little anxiety.

When everyone was about to speak, Fang Shao immediately said: "Of course I understand your worries, although the change in Jingzhou is sudden, but with General Zhao Zilong guarding Xiangyang, Xu Yuanzhi Sima and General Zhang Wenyuan guarding Jiangling, there are two places to lose, I believe there will be a turnaround." As for Cao Ying's reinforcements, hehe, in my opinion, they came at the right time! We just took the opportunity to annihilate the last main army of Wei here, and at that time, whether it is Hebei or the Central Plains, we will no longer be able to stop our troops, and I and you will enjoy this miraculous achievement of destroying Wei. ”

Fang Shao's words completely extinguished the worries in the hearts of the generals, and his face once again showed excitement and confidence.

The self-confidence of the generals does not come from contempt for the enemy, but from the trust of the other party.

After deciding to succeed to the throne of Wei and Wei, Fang Shao immediately made new arrangements.

In order to block Cao Ying's reinforcements from moving north, Fang Shao had increased his troops to Wei Yan on the front line by 30,000, so that he would block Cao Ying on the Anyang line no matter what, until Yecheng was breached. At the same time, Fang Shao ordered the siege of Yecheng to be intensified in order to force the "surrender faction" in the city to act as soon as possible.

………… Chang'an City, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Pang Tong, who came in a hurry, saw that Zhuge Liang was still boiling tea and drinking, and his face couldn't help but show a look of complaint: "I said Kong Ming, as the prime minister of the Great Han Kingdom, you are still in the mood to make tea here at this time, hum, if you don't want to sit in this prime minister's position, just let me forget it." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "It turned out to be Shiyuan, you are really joking, the business at hand has been completed, what else can I do if I don't taste tea here, come, taste the tea I brewed." ”

Zhuge Liang poured Pang Tong a fragrant tea, but Pang Tong was not in the mood to drink it, and said with a dark face: "Kong Ming, do you know that Liu Feng, the king of Shu, has gone south from Hanzhong to Shu under the pretext of rescuing Jiangling."

Zhuge Liang took a sip of his own drink and said disapprerovitically: "I already know about this matter, Shi Yuan, didn't we receive this information together, why did you forget." ”

Pang Tong glared at him, and said angrily: "Don't pretend to be calm for me." Liu Feng's move was obviously to take advantage of the imperial court's inability to restrain it, and take the opportunity to dominate Yizhou and divide one side. Unexpectedly, this kid has long been ambitious, but we have deceived him before, if he is allowed to succeed in his plot, it will be a major blow to the prestige of the imperial court. ”

Zhuge Liang also sighed: "Yun Chang is also responsible for this matter, if he didn't despise Dongwu, he would not have given Dongwu a chance to raid, if Dongwu did not invade, the king of Shu would not be able to find such a good opportunity." ”

Pang Tong snorted coldly: "Yun Chang is fighting for his heart, and it is not completely unexpected that such a situation occurred, but the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say this, let's think about how to deal with this kid Liu Feng." ”

Zhuge Liang drank the tea in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Shiyuan, why should you worry too much, although I didn't expect Liu Feng to rebel at this time, however, I will naturally solve this matter." ”

Pang Tong looked stunned: "Could it be that you have already cracked the strategy?" ”

Zhuge Liang said confidently: "There is no way to crack it, but in order to prevent the arrival of this day, as early as when the first emperor transferred Liu Feng to guard Hanzhong, I secretly laid down two chess pieces, and these two sons are enough to make Liu Feng's ambition come to naught." ”

………… Thousands of miles away, Zitong.

An army of about 30,000 people is slowly marching on the rugged mountain road at the moment, the word "rugged" just wants to be for the flat road of the northern plain, for the Shu road that is "difficult to go to the blue sky", at this moment the mountain road connecting Yizhou and the outside world, stretching for more than a thousand miles, is already a fairly flat section of the road.

Three days ago, Liu Feng led his Hanzhong army out of Yangping Pass, and swaggered south on the pretext of borrowing through Shuzhong and aiding Jiangling in the east. Yesterday, his army had just passed through Ma Ming Pavilion, and further ahead was the Xiongguan Sword Pavilion, as long as he passed the Sword Pavilion Pass, even if someone in Shu was alert to resist, he would be powerless to resist the absolute superiority of his 30,000 army.

"Sir, there is the Sword Pavilion in front, as long as you pass the Sword Pavilion, the entire Yizhou will be ours." Liu Feng was on the horse and said confidently.

Zhang Song gasped and said: "The king can't be careless, the Sword Pavilion is the first male pass in Shu, if the general who guards the pass insists on not allowing us to clear the customs, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort." ”

Liu Feng laughed: "Sir, don't worry, the general guarding the customs is Zhang Yi, and this person will let us enter the customs smoothly." ”

Liu Feng's self-confidence is reasonable, this Zhang Yi was originally a person in Shu, when Liu Bei set up Shu and then recruited him as a scholar, and then moved to Jiangyang Chang. When Liu Bei was called emperor in the Guanzhong, Zhang Yi was going to be transferred to Chang'an to become a central official, but he offended Zhuge Liang for some reason, so he was moved to Shoujian Pavilion, which lasted for several years.

Although the Sword Pavilion is an important pass, it is actually not very prosperous because it is located in a rugged place, and guarding the gate is actually a lonely and boring chore.

When Liu Feng Hanzhong was in the middle of the year, after knowing Zhang Yi's experience, he treated Zhang Yi, a nominal subordinate, with courtesy as a town general, and speaking of which, he could be regarded as half of Zhang Yi's benefactor, which is why he was so confident.

After listening to Liu Feng's explanation, Zhang Song was also relieved. Therefore, the army quickened its march and looked south all night and night, and two days later resisted the north of the Sword Pavilion.

On the Sword Pavilion Gate, the guard general Zhang Yi looked at the soldiers and horses coming from the north of the city, and his face was gloomy.

After a short time, he saw a horse galloping, and before he reached the city, he shouted at the city: "My king of Shu was ordered to rescue Jiangling through Shuzhong, and asked General Zhang to open and let us pass." ”

Zhang Yi did not respond to the comer, but took out a wrinkled letter from his bosom.

The owner of this letter had warned him that if one day, the king of Shu led his army into Shu without obtaining an edict from the imperial court, then he could open the letter and carry out this order.

Zhang Yi thought that there would never be such a day, but he didn't think that this day would really be waiting for him.

He took a deep breath, slowly opened the letter, and after staring at it for a moment, the gloom on his face dissipated, replaced by perseverance and solemnity.

Zhang Yi then took the letter back into his arms, cast his sharp eyes on the city, and shouted loudly: "I will guard the pass on the order of Prime Minister Zhuge , and I dare not let anyone enter the customs without the order of the prime minister, please tell the king of Shu and ask him to go back to Hanzhong." ”
