"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
When Wu and Huang saw Liu Bei fall under the bed, they screamed and rushed forward, and when they helped Liu Bei up from the ground, they saw that the seriously ill emperor had passed out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two were shocked, hurriedly helped Liu Bei back to the couch, and urgently sent the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, and they were busy for more than half an hour before Liu Bei's illness stabilized slightly.
The imperial doctors were treating Liu Bei inside, while Huang Quan and Wu Yi waited anxiously outside.
"Let's all go down first." Wu Yi waved his hand and pulled the attendants around him back.
Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Yi sighed in a low voice: "Gongheng, now that Your Majesty is in such a situation, Hedong County in the south is in danger, what should we do." ”
Huang Quan said without hesitation: "No matter how urgent the situation is, we have to wait for Your Majesty to wake up before making an idea." However, in my opinion, our army is now at the end of its strength, and it is impossible to expand the results of the battle. ”
"Cao Ying's move is ruthless enough, but I'm worried about more than that, Gongheng, aren't you worried at all?" Wu Yi's words seem to have another meaning.
Huang Quan was stunned: "What does Ziyuan mean by this?" ”
Wu Yi glanced around, lowered his voice a few more points, and said mysteriously: "The power of our Qin Yishi people in the court is already lower than that of Jing Xiangshi, and now that Fa Xiaozhi has been martyred, it should be a heavy blow to us Qin Yishi people. Looking at Your Majesty, this situation is afraid that it will be difficult to last, and the matter of establishing a prince must be imminent, Gongheng, are you really not worried at all? ”
Although Wu Yi didn't make all the words clear, he was also thorough enough, obviously he was worried about the issue of establishing an heir, and he also skillfully pulled the Longshi and Yizhou scholars together to create a name for Qin Yishi. Of course, if it is aimed at the scholars of Jingzhou, the interests of the two factions of scholars in Yizhou and Guanlong are indeed the same to a certain extent.
In fact, the number of outstanding figures in these two factions is far inferior to that of Jingzhou scholars, except for Fa Zheng, Ma Chao, Wu Yi and others who are quite talented and famous, most of the rest of the generations are not outstanding people, which is as talented as Jingxiang Group, what Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fang Shao, Jiang Wan, Fei Yuan, Xu Shu, Huang Zhong...... There are countless of them, if you count Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and other generations, they are simply bright stars.
The Qin Yishi people, who were already in a weak position, have just entered a rising period because of the successive pacification of the northern states, but the death of Fazheng has made them fall into a situation where the dragons are leaderless. In this case, how could Wu Yi still fight for the status of the prince for his nephew Liu Shan?
Huang Quan is not an idiot, of course he knows what Wu Yi is hinting at, in fact, compared to Wu Yi, he is even more depressed about Fa Zheng's death.
Originally, the Yizhou scholars have always been the target of suppression, and they originally hoped that if Liu Shan was established as the prince in the future, if the Guanlongshi people could overpower the Jingzhou scholars and become the largest faction in the court, then as the Yizhou scholars who were closely related to the Guanlong scholars, they might still be able to get a piece of the pie in the future, but now Fa Zheng's unexpected death in battle cannot but be said to be a major blow to Huang Quan and other Yizhou scholars.
"Alas, how can I not be worried, it's just that God is ruthless and makes Fa Xiaozhi die young, what can I do?" Huang Quan looked a little helpless.
The corners of Wu Yi's mouth raised slightly: "Why should Gongheng be so discouraged, I think this matter is not without room for recovery." ”
Huang Quan's expression perked up: "Ziyuan, doesn't he have an opinion?" ”
"Now Prime Minister Zhuge is in Guanzhong, Pang Shiyuan is in Youzhou, Fangzhong is in Yecheng, and the three most important leaders of Jingzhou Shiren in the court are not by Your Majesty's side. And Your Majesty is groggy at the moment, with only cronies like you and me by your side, Gong Heng, isn't this an opportunity? The more Wu Yi spoke, the more excited he became.
Huang Quan quickly comprehended three points, and exclaimed: "Ziyuan, what do you want to do, don't come nonsense!" ”
Huang Quan thought that Wu Yi wanted to hold Liu Bei, who was seriously ill, hostage and do such a rebellious thing, Wu Yi was taken aback, and quickly explained: "Gongheng, you misunderstood, even if I, Wu Yi, have the courage, how dare I do such a thing." I'm thinking, Your Majesty is now groggy and unclear, so why don't we take the opportunity to persuade Your Majesty to appoint His Royal Highness King Qin as the crown prince? ”
Wu Yi said his bold idea, in a sense, this should be the only choice for their Qin Yishi people to turn the situation around. Moreover, if Fa Zheng didn't die and Liu Bei didn't get seriously ill and dying, maybe they wouldn't have such a good opportunity.
Wu Yi's words made Huang Quan's heart move, his thoughts were stirring over the river and the sea, he thought for a while, and suddenly said with a lot of concern: "Even if we can take advantage of His Majesty's fainting to persuade him to appoint the King of Qin as the crown prince, most of those Jingxiang scholars will guess that we may have done something from it, and the military power is mostly in their hands. ”
Huang Quan's concerns are also reasonable, the prince can naturally be abolished if this kind of thing can be established, although they can make Liu Shan the prince at the moment, but after returning to Beijing at that time, the Jingxiangshi people can naturally force Liu Bei to set up another prince, and most of the military power is in the hands of the Jingxiangshi people, if they want to abolish Liu Shan, only with the current strength of the Qin Yishi people, they are powerless to stop it.
The empty hall immediately fell silent.
After a long time, Wu Yi sneered and said: "Look at this, why don't we take advantage of the loss of Hedong County now to persuade Your Majesty to issue an edict, and in the name of reclaiming Hedong, General Ma Mengqi will lead 50,000 Youzhou troops south to Jinyang, and then use these 50,000 soldiers and horses to first repel the Wei army, and then escort Your Majesty back to Beijing." As for Fang Shao, Pang Tong, Wei Yan and Huang Zhong, they can also persuade His Majesty to issue an edict to let them retreat their troops and horses to the secluded annex instead of allowing them to return to Guanzhong. In this way, there is only this army in the hands of General Meng Qi in the Beijing Division, even if Zhuge Kongming is in Chang'an, but he has no soldiers in his hands and can not become the climate, then we can persuade His Majesty to abdicate as the emperor, and support the succession of King Qin. ”
Wu Yi kept saying "persuade Your Majesty", in fact, Huang Quan understood that if Liu Bei listened, it was called persuasion, and if he didn't listen, it would be "overbearing".
This is a big sale, if it is successful, the profit will be more than ten times and a hundred times. But if it fails, the loss will not only be bankrupt, but also the net worth. Worse still, the country may be plunged into civil strife and fragmentation.
'I'm not for myself, it's for us Yizhou people, we have been oppressed for decades, how can we endure it forever! ’
There seemed to be such a voice shouting to himself in his heart, and after a long time of silence, Huang Quan secretly gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then we might as well give it a try, I'm just worried that Your Majesty will ......"
While he was talking, the sweaty imperial doctor came out of the dormitory, and the two glanced at each other, and then stopped talking about Fang Cai, Wu Yi asked anxiously, "How is Your Majesty's condition?" ”
The imperial doctor sighed: "Your Majesty has woken up, but it's just ......"
"Just what?" Huang Quan urged.
"Although His Majesty is awake, his mind will be sober and confused for a while, and we can't do anything."
The imperial doctor told Liu Bei's condition in a mournful and sighing tone, but Huang Quan and Wu Yi were a little secretly happy in their hearts when they heard it.
"Alright, you have done your best, go down and rest."
After the imperial doctor retreated, Wu Yi glanced at Huang Quan and said with a sly smile: "Gongheng, it seems that God really helps us." ”
………… The moon is slanting in the west, and the sky is about to dawn.
Under the light of the stars and moon before dawn, a hurried army was marching on the avenue.
In the wind, the flag moves with the wind, and the word "Wei" is faintly visible.
This was a Wei army of about 10,000 men, led by Cao Ying himself, and the target was Puban, an important town in the west of Hedong County.
A few days ago, Cao Ying and his 20,000 troops appeared unexpectedly under the city of Anyi, and the defenseless defenders were routed in a blink of an eye, and the Wei army took the seat of Hedong County almost bloodlessly. On the day of the breakthrough of Hedong County, Cao Ying left 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend Anyi, and he sent 10,000 soldiers to attack Puban.
As long as the strategic town connecting Guanzhong and Hebei is captured, the grain route of the Han army will be cut off, and the more than 200,000 Han troops who have penetrated into the Youhe will collapse without a fight.
The success of the Battle of Anyi made Cao Ying more confident, and he believed that the Han people were completely defenseless against Jia Xu's strange strategy, and Pubanjin would be as easy as Anyi, and he would personally complete a shocking reversal that was even more difficult than the Battle of Guandu.
The day was about to dawn, and Cao Ying temporarily stationed his war horse next to the galloping brigade, loudly encouraging the tired soldiers.
A horse rushed from the front, it was the pioneer Xu Yi, rushed to the front of the palace, Xu Yi said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the scouts have reported that there are not many Han troops in Puban Dongcheng, it seems that they are completely defenseless." ”
Pubancheng stands between the Yellow River, the east bank is the east city, the west bank is the west city, if you want to seize the Pubanjin ferry, you must first occupy the east city.
Cao Ying was overjoyed when he heard this, and waved his hand: "God really helps me Dawei, pass the order, the whole army will speed up the march, and must arrive in Dongcheng before dawn." ”
When the order was passed, the 10,000 Wei troops ran faster, rolling up the dust in the sky and forcing them towards Puban Dongcheng like wolves and tigers.
When the first rays of morning glow rose and illuminated the lonely city on the east bank of the Yellow River, the sandstorm from the east was clearly reflected in the field of vision.
On the city, a young general stood proudly, indifferently looking at the hustle and bustle in the east, he knew that it was the soldiers and horses of the Wei army who had killed.
He stood at the head of the city, glanced at the soldiers hiding under the female wall left and right, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "Prime Minister Zhuge is really like a god, it seems that the Wei army's rescue of Ye is fake, and the attack on Hedong County is real." Hmph, Cao Ying, Cao Ying, let me Yang Yi come and meet you for a while.
