Xishu, Chengdu, the young Liu Chan wore an unusually wide imperial costume and sat on the dragon chair, and below were a few people with bad looks, including literature and martial arts, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister on the left, Xu Shu, the prime minister on the right, the general Guan Yu, and the guard Zhang Song... These are all important ministers of Western Shu, and they are also the backbone of Western Shu, in the case that Liu Chan cannot govern, all matters are decided by these people after consultation, and this time, what they are discussing is a matter of life and death in the future of Shu!

Cao Chong of Sili Prefecture rebelled, swept hundreds of thousands of people, and the momentum was huge, which also gave Xichuan a chance to breathe in the heavy siege, otherwise the Wei State, which destroyed the Wu State, would definitely target them; So what does Cao Chong's rebellion have to do with them? Of course there is a relationship, and there is a lot of a relationship! At present, Shu is already isolated and helpless, and the foundation of Wei is too strong, whether it is ten, twenty or thirty years, they can continue to attack Shu until all the national strength of Shu is exhausted, and finally destroy him!

If you wait for Cao Chong to be defeated, then this thought will become a reality sooner or later, but if you take the initiative to attack, there is still a way to live, and joining forces with Cao Chong may be able to defeat the Wei State and create an environment for Shu to survive!

In that case, let's go straight to the troops! Anyway, Cao Chong's messenger also sent a letter... But the problem is that everyone is not in agreement, this is led by Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Zhang Song, Guan Yu, Zhang Ren... and a decision-making organization similar to a cabinet composed of nine people, with different opinions; Take Zhang Song as an example, what he means is that Cao Chong has long been imprisoned by Cao Pi, and Cao Pi's cunning can give Cao Chong a chance? Maybe this is a trap, that is, to tempt Shu to take the initiative with the strength of the whole country, and then destroy Shu in one fell swoop!

This is not impossible, the so-called eating a trench and growing a wisdom, Shu is so weak now, it is because Li Huaide was tempted to take the initiative to attack, so that nearly 300,000 troops were wiped out, and even the lord Liu Bei also died... Zhang Song's incident is used as an excuse, who dares not to treat it seriously? The subject country can't stand the toss now, and if you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe, and the lesson of the Wu country is the teacher of their future!

Zhang Song is a big man who opposes the law, and there are four people who stand on the same line with him, including Zhang Ren and Fei Wei, and those who oppose and ask to take the initiative are Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others, and among the nine people, only Yun Chang did not express any opinions, just lowered his head and pondered; Zhuge Liang said abruptly: "This is the last hope of Shu... After all, Cao Chong was in a hurry to raise troops, although there were many soldiers and horses in the headquarters, but it was just looking at the large number of people, paper tigers, vulnerable, if we really waited until Li Yu's army to destroy Wu went north to quell the rebellion, we could only... Waiting for death in Yizhou!

Instead of sitting still, it is better to take the initiative, I consider myself a cautious and cautious person, but at this moment, the situation is stronger than people, and we have no good choice! I'm also afraid that this is a trap... But is there any other way for us?

Cao Ren's soldiers and horses are more than 70,000, and they are blocking the periphery of Ba County, and General Taishi and General Yide have led troops to fight for more than ten days... In the north, Xia Meng Pass, the 100,000 troops of Gao Shun and Ma Chao fought non-stop battles day and night... The outlook is not optimistic! ”

Zhang Ren confronted Gao Shun, Pang Tong and others in the north, the conservatives took Zhang Song as the leader, and Zhang Song was also the only spokesperson, after listening to Zhuge Liang's words, he also sighed: "The long-term vision is the needs of the country's development, I understand this, it's not that I'm blind, I'm really uneasy!" ”

Guan Yu, who had not spoken, finally spoke, his voice was slightly tired, this brave general was also over half a hundred years old, and his soft black beard had also turned into silver threads, and the years had carved ruthless traces on his face, Guan Yu... Much older; Since Liu Bei's death, the real decision-makers of Shu still have to look at Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and him, these three people, Guan Yu because of his special identity, but also has the right to arbitrary, once there is something difficult to solve in this decision-making circle, no one can say whom, it completely depends on Guan Yu's intentions; After experiencing glory, he led the soldiers and horses to defeat the generals of Wei, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, shocking China, Cao Cao was full of praise for him at that time, and also experienced defeat, the first battle of Xiangyang and the first battle of Nanjun, he was responsible for the failure; There is **, and low, the second master who was once proud like a parrot looks more sophisticated in his old age, and hides all the edges on his body, and the edges are hidden, which is the most terrifying! As long as he needs it, he can immediately incarnate the omnipotent, conquering and winning the world's first sword!

Stroking his beard, Guan Yu frowned, and made a difficult decision: "Dispatch troops to defeat Cao Ren's troops first, and ask Cao Chong to come west to flank Gao Shun's troops!" Enter the land of the Central Plains and compete with the Wei State! … Kong Ming is right! There is only one chance for Shu Kingdom! ”

In a word, it is extremely domineering, but Guan Yu has this power, he can carry all the Shu Kingdom on his body to gamble this time!

Because of the passage of the resolution, Shu once again launched a national war, wantonly recruited troops, and contacted Cao Chong of Hedong County to discuss an agreement, and the two sides reached a consensus, just wait for Shu to defeat Cao Ren's troops first; Guan Yu, who had been silent for a long time, led his troops to fight again, and the newly transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses were added to the ranks around Ba County, and a total of 60,000 troops confronted Cao Ren again, and he rushed to Guan Yu's name, Cao Ren did not dare to be negligent, and fought with Guan Yu cautiously but fearlessly; After nearly three days of fierce fighting, Cao Ren still had a trace of negligence, and just this trace of negligence was caught by Guan Yu! The water source of Cao Ren's camp is the same as the water source used by Guan Yu's troops! Although the river is only an inconspicuous ditch, no more than two feet wide!

It was precisely this small river ditch that changed the direction of the entire battle! Guan Yunchang, who has always been arrogant, also put down his body this time, and the Shu Kingdom no longer allows him to attack the enemy from the front with pride and pride as before, because the loss will be too great; And now he needs to win the battle while thinking about how to save resources, including food, soldiers... Manpower and material resources, he needs to save a series of capital for Shu State, which can be used as the foundation of his foothold!

Therefore, the trick used by Guan Yu is definitely not an upright trick, and Cao Ren didn't expect Guan Yu to use this kind of trick - poisoning! Many of the barbarian soldiers recruited from southern Yizhou were proficient in this method; Squeeze out the venom from the venom of the venomous snakes and scorpions that were caught, plus a sufficient amount of poisons such as arsenic, and the small river was polluted ... Cao Ren's troops should always have to drink water and eat, even if the poison was not enough and not fatal, it also reduced their combat effectiveness; How can a group of soldiers holding their stomachs resist the wolf-like Guan Yu troops?

That is, Cao Ren reacted quickly, felt that something was wrong, and led the soldiers and horses away... lost more than 20,000 people, these were directly beheaded by Guan Yu, and thousands of people were too poor in physique to resist the light toxins, and they died; There was a loophole in the blockade line of Shu, but Guan Yu left Tai Shici to lead 10,000 troops to guard this place in case of a comeback of Cao Ren's headquarters, and he himself led his troops to the north to support Zhang Ren's troops, waiting for the opportunity to attack Gao Shun with Cao Chong; …… On the other side, Li Yu's 100,000 troops marched day and night, and they were already approaching the capital Xuchang, not to mention those soldiers who were running on foot, even Li Yu, who had been sitting in the carriage, couldn't stand it, and the bumpy shaking made his head very swollen, and he actually had a motion sickness reaction!

The soldiers and horses of the first **, in addition to Cao Ren stationed in Bajun and Xiahoudun stationed in Yangzhou, all the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized Li Yu launched an order and mobilized, Wei Yan, Xu Huang and others also returned to the headquarters one after another, and the team became more chaotic while growing; "Sir! It can't go on like this! It's been five days and five nights... If this continues, the army will collapse! Zang Ba beat his horse and rushed from the vanguard: "Don't say it's a person, even the livestock can't stand it!" ”

Li Yu wiped the stains that had just vomited at the corner of his mouth, his face turned pale, stared at Zang Ba tightly, stared at Zang Ba's straight hair, and sighed after a while: "You're right!" Sooner or later, it will collapse! It can't be like this! Annunciation... Help me get the map out! ”

Slammed and sat on the ground, Li Yu looked as if he was not far from death, the anxiety in his heart coupled with the pain of the bumps, his small body was a little unbearable, which really frightened Xu Rong, and hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Huaide!" Mr. Wilder? …”

"What's it called? Can't die! Oops! Holding on to the wheel, plus Xu Rong took a handle before he stood up, Zang Ba spread out the map, Li Yu frowned and watched: "I don't know if I should take a gamble!" ”

"Sir... What does that mean? Are you planning to go straight to Xiameng Pass? Xu Rong said thoughtfully, the rebels now have two options, one is to attack the imperial capital, and the other is to attack Gaoshun headquarters, both of which can reverse the situation of Wei's domination of the world, but the latter is more harmful;" Yang Dezu... This guy isn't just a little clever, he's a big talent! Pity... Wrong! Because of Yang Xiu's help, Cao Chong was able to play a Li Dai Taozhuang, and escaped from Xuchang, so that he could organize a large number of soldiers and horses, and only then could he rebel against Yu Ban, the two Lu brothers and others; Li Yu's wrong meaning is very vague, on the surface, Yang Xiu should not do this, should not be against the Wei State, in fact, Li Yu really sighed that Yang Xiu was born at the wrong time, or was born in the wrong family, if he was not born a few years late, if he was not born in the Hongnong Yang family, a family of scholars, he was put on the shackles of the family since he was a child... His achievement is at least one - Xi Zhicai!

Li Yu, who came for no reason, remembered the sad man again, compared to Yang Dezu, Xi Zhicai's sadness is in the body, and Yang Dezu's sadness is in the family, sometimes the rich and noble family is not necessarily comparable to the bachelor of a small family... Sighing slightly, Li Yu rubbed his eyebrows: "How many cavalry are there in the army?" ”

Wei Yan interjected on the side: "There are more than 60,000 cavalry, except for a part taken away by General Cao Ren, all the rest are here, and there are only 5,000 cavalry left in Yangzhou, and the room for war horses in the south is too small, and General Xiahou did not stay longer!" ”

"Sixty thousand... Not a lot! Such! Xu Rong! I'm going to take all the cavalry! Gather your infantry and march towards Xuchang! Go with great fanfare! Let others see that our main forces are all rushing to Xuchang!

Zang Ba! Wei Yan, Xu Huang, Zhang Jaw... You follow me, take a detour around Wancheng, and rush directly to the Tongguan area from there... Prepare now! Time is ticking! Li Yu's gambling was also well thought out, but he also thought about the emergency plan for accidents; This is only about a hundred miles to Xuchang, and the infantry army can arrive within three days, even if the rebels attack Xuchang, there are 40,000 fresh troops, plus 20,000 soldiers and horses guarded by Xuchang, and the strict defense can also last for a while, with the mobility of cavalry, it is not too late to return to help; But... If the rebels choose to attack Tongguan and attack behind Gaoshun, and then the army of Shu attacks from the front, his reinforcements of 60,000 people will still be less... But this is the only way to choose a safe way; "A fanfare march to Xuchang? Sir, don't have anything to say? After everyone left, Xu Rong didn't leave, he heard that Li Yu had something to say, so he stopped; Li Yu nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that Xu Rong's brain was really spinning fast, and he whispered at the moment: "I suspect that there is still Cao Chong's internal response in Xuchang City, you pay more attention, and tell Your Majesty to re-play the banner of tiger and leopard riding!" ”

Tiger and leopard cavalry, once in the battle of Hebei, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's duel of the two heroes shined a force, with Cao Chun's untimely death no one can lead, which is also related to the consumption of heavy cavalry; Half of the tens of thousands of tiger and leopard riders have now become the forbidden army guarding the imperial city, and the other half have become the garrison of Xuchang, tiger and leopard cavalry! It is a deterrent weapon, a weapon of existence and legend! Those who have seen his power still have lingering fears!

Xu Rong nodded firmly, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, don't worry! If Xu and Xuchang City coexist! The city is in the people! The city is ruined! ”

Before the words fell, there was a panic in the team over there, many people knelt on the ground, and a person galloped on horseback: "The holy decree has arrived-", Wei Hong! How did he get here? Li Yu frowned... Seems very unwelcome; Wei Hong has been following Cao Cao for a long time, and in terms of time, he and Li Yu were almost the first to defect to Cao Cao - literati! Or someone other than Wufu, because Wei Wangcai was a literate businessman; This businessman used to be a military general for a period of time, and then turned gorgeously to become the biggest spy leader in the whole world, and now he has been promoted to a civilian official, and he is now one of the closest people around Cao Pi; Wei Hong came, and brought a will, Cao Pi asked Li Yu to return to Xuchang... Back to Xuchang, and it's that kind of eagerness!

Li Yu's face was cloudy, he squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, and suddenly found that Wei Hong had a jade pendant on his body, this accessory is very interesting, Li Yu has seen it, on Cao Chong! Li Yu Huo Ran raised his head, Wei Hong squeezed his eyebrows and looked eager; Look at the few small yellow doors behind Wei Hong, there is a faint stubble! Li Yu figured out something! Wei Hong and even Cao Pi may be held hostage now! Things took a turn for the worse! There was a coup d'état in the palace? Still is... Something else?

"Minister! Obey! Li Yu lowered his head and took the holy decree, and then smiled: "Wait a minute, I need to explain some things to a few generals!" With a smile, Li Yu called Wei Yan! Li Yu shouted in a smile again: "Kill them!" Don't hurt Wangcai! ”

Several small yellow doors were all cut down by Wei Yan, and the fish that slipped through the net were also captured by the guards beside him, Wei Hong breathed a sigh of relief and said eagerly: "Damn it! I've always been yin, but this time I'm yin! Empress... It's the other way around! ”

The queen is also Empress Yuan, Cao Pi's wife, Yuan Shu's daughter, and the sister of Yuan Yao, one of the rebel leaders! Empress Yuan knew that he Li Yu was powerful, and Li Yu was also one of the murderers who forced Yuan Shu to death, so she planned to get rid of Li Yu first; So he chose to capture Wei Hong's family, let him pass on the holy decree, and let several of his dead soldiers come to assassinate, the reason why he chose Wei Hong to do this is because Wei Hong has a deep friendship with Li Yu, and Li Yu must not be strictly guarded; They planned to trick Li Yuyu out of the army, so that they could have a chance to start, but unfortunately, Wei Hong, the head of the spies, was very shrewd, and he had a lot of props in his hands, such as Cao Chong's jade pendant, which was an object in the treasury and was obtained by him; He remembered that he and Li Yu had watched this jade pendant together, when Cao Pi saw that Li Yu seemed to like it and planned to give it to Li Yu to play, Li Yu didn't ask for it, so he kept throwing it in the treasury, and the incident happened suddenly, and it was because he saw the jade pendant on Queen Yuan's body that he thought of it; "Ahem...", a rapid cough, Li Yu clutched his chest: "Pi'er... How is Your Majesty? Yes? ”

Li Yu, whose face was painful and angry, looked very hideous, Wei Hong had never seen Li Yu treat him like this, he was scared stupid at the time, and said stumblingly: "Your Majesty... Nothing yet... All right... With the champion by his side, who can..."

"Fuck you!" , Li Yu pulled Wei Hong's collar: "You have all the information of the Wei State!" What do you eat? Cao Chong rebelled! The queen is fucking Neiying! Such a person sleeps next to His Majesty's pillow! Do you dare to tell me that Your Majesty is fine? Wei Wangcai! If it weren't for the fact that you and I have a friendship! I've slashed you with a sword! ”

Wei Hong's face was like earth, and he said ashamedly for a while: "I... Regret not being at the beginning! I have a face in Xuchang... Who knew he was put on me by someone else... I...", "Papapa...", Wei Hong gave himself a few big mouths, while shedding tears and shame; Li Yu understands that Wei Hong has been used! But this also leads to another problem! That is, this rebellion was organized and premeditated! It can be extended far, far in time! It's dangerous!

"Enough! Bastard thing! Wei Yan! Give me 5,000 soldiers! Go to Xuchang first! Xu Huang! Lead all the cavalry and go to Tongguan as fast as you can! Xu Rong! Integrate the infantry ... I'll go first! Li Yu scolded angrily; He was getting more and more anxious now, and he was already extremely angry... Xuchang really doesn't know what the situation is now, even the old nest has been infiltrated!

Wei Guo! What's going on? With tolerance and gentleness, did you get this kind of revenge?

"Don't fucking cry! Come with me! ", kicked on Wei Hong's body, Li Yu shouted angrily;
