Chapter 261: Destiny Belongs to Liu Adou
Chang'an, the palace of Emperor Wei.
In the main hall, the chips are staggered, the cups and plates are messy, and a banquet is going on lively.
Guanzhong's position is key, and Chang'an is the old capital of the former Han Dynasty, so its political significance is very important.
Therefore, although the war in Longxi is urgent, but Chang'an as a whole is quite peaceful, as the emperor of the Great Wei, Cao Pi in order to calm people's hearts, he often held banquets, banquets for the old people of the previous dynasty, and the dignitaries of the present dynasty, everyone drank and wrote poems, and they were happy, and invisibly spread the scene of Cao Pi's Wen Taowu strategy and mental stability.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have made a clumsy work, and they are smiling and generous, why don't you ask Your Majesty to write a poem for everyone, thinking that it is the finale of today's banquet, how about it?" Xiang Guohua said jokingly.
Shangshu Chen Qun also said: "Your Majesty is gifted and literate, writing chapters, well-read and strong, and talented; to congratulate the ministers. ”
"Hahaha......" Cao Pi heard the praise of the two ministers, drank a lot of wine, and saw a lot of scribes' poems, and was very interested, so he said: "In this way, I will be ugly." ”
He stood up, walked down the steps, walked among the ministers, felt the breeze of midsummer, and couldn't help but be poetic, and chanted: "In summer, it is mild, and it is cool to escape the heat." Taller than your Excellency, Yanbin is a famous initiative. The string song is strong with the wind, and the feather is full of business. The delicacies overlapped, and the fruits were on the side. The bureau is vertical and horizontal, and the game is double-raised. Clumsy wins and loses, and people are happy. From morning to sun, the Anzhi summer festival is long. ”
"Good poetry, good poetry!" shouted the ministers.
This poem is euphemistic and meticulous, reciprocating, the words are not carved, the syllables are graceful, and the emotions are flowing, which can be described as pouring, tilting, tilting, pouring color, pouring sound, ancient and modern. Delicate and clear, lingering and compassionate. This poem can be passed down through the ages, and His Majesty's true poetry is also a great sect. ”
Situ Wang Lang desperately touted.
"Yes, Your Majesty's poem shows the spirit of Jian'an. ”
"The backbone is extremely high, and the words are luxuriant. Affection and resentment, the body is literary, overflowing with the present and the ancient, and outstanding. ”
"The poetry of the first emperor is heroic, His Majesty's poetry is gorgeous, and the true poetry is also everyone. ”
The rest of the ministers also followed suit.
"Hehe, all Aiqing, it's too much, it's too good. Cao Pi waved his hand again and again, but the joy on his face could not be hidden.
"Your Majesty, this poem is so wonderful that it will definitely be passed on to future generations, but I don't know what the title of this poem is?" asked Wang Lang.
"This poem is called "Summer Poem" at the summer banquet. ”
"What a "Summer Poem", there really is a wonderful and good poem!" Chen Qun shook his head and sighed peacefully.
All the ministers praised one after another, but the Taiwei Zhong Xuan did not say a word.
Cao Pi saw it and asked with a smile: "Taiwei, why don't you say a word, is it because poetry doesn't enter your eyes?"
Zhong Miao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is a captain, and he was worried about the battle on the front line for a while, so he was in a trance, and asked His Majesty to forgive him." ”
"Hahaha....... Taiwei filtered, although the front-line war was in full swing, but as soon as the army of the general Cao Zhen arrived, it was like Mount Tai pressing the top, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang's Shu army must have no work, if you don't return to Shuzhong, there is only one way to collapse. Situ Wang Lang said with a smile.
Cao Pi also laughed, but he was not happy in his heart.
He originally held a banquet to calm people's hearts, but he didn't expect Taiwei Zhong Xuan to be so uninteresting.
It's really a pot that can't be opened.
"I went out to relax, Taiwei, Situ, Xiangguo, and Chen Shangshu went out with me for a walk. Cao Pi laughed and walked out.
Wang Lang, Zhong Xuan, Hua Xin, and Chen Qun looked at each other, then got up together and walked out with Cao Pi.
At this time, it was a summer night, the bright moon was hanging high, the stars were dotted, and several people stood on the high platform, only feeling cool and comfortable, and they couldn't help but smile.
"What do you think about the battle ahead?" asked Cao Pi.
"Your Majesty every time you use the general Cao Zhen, you will be able to conquer wherever you go, and this time the army will march westward, and it will definitely be able to unite with Guo Huai inside and outside to break through the Shu army. Wang Lang said.
Zhong Xuan, Hua Xin, and Chen Qun all nodded when they heard this.
"Makes sense. Cao Pi was very happy to see that the four important ministers were all in agreement with him.
"In this way, we will continue to drink, this time we will stay up all night, and no one can leave. Cao Pi laughed.
Among these four people, except for Chen Qun, who is slightly younger, the rest are already nearly seventy years old, and their physical strength and energy have long been unable to keep up, but the emperor's interest is high, how can they refuse?
"The ministers obeyed. The four of them said together.
"Haha......" Cao Pi turned around and wanted to go, when suddenly an attendant hurriedly came with a messenger and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang have broken through Shangqi, Guo Huai committed suicide and martyrdom, and the rest of the officials have surrendered." ”
"What?" Cao Pi's face changed drastically.
Before he could come back to his senses, another message came: "Longxi County Taishou You Chu was killed by Wei Yan of Shu State, and all the military officials under him surrendered, and Longxi County was completely occupied by Shu. ”
"The Shu general Ma captured Jincheng, killed Xu Miao, the assassin of Liangzhou, and the entire territory of Liangzhou was surrendered, and the west of Longshan was no longer owned by the state. ”
"What? Guo Huai, You Chu, and Xu Miao, all died in battle?" Cao Pi was shocked.
During this period of time, the situation in Longyou has changed greatly, and the rest of the officials have surrendered, only these three people have a firm position, vow not to surrender to Shu, and have always insisted on fighting behind enemy lines, and their reputation has also spread in Cao Pi's ears, but they never thought that overnight, these three important ministers who stuck to the occupied area were all killed in battle, and the west of Longshan was completely occupied by Shu.
"The general Cao Zhen played, Shangtai has been lost, Guo Huai died in battle, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang have occupied Shangtai, hoarding in the upper reaches of Weishui, if you go by boat, you can go to Chang'an in one day, Cao Zhen does not dare to do it again, so the above table asks for His Majesty's will. ”
"Zidan is also scared! How is this possible?"
Cao Pi completely turned into a puppet, his face was dull, and his mouth only echoed with these words.
Cao Zhen is his eldest brother of the same sect, who is well versed in the art of war, and since he succeeded to the throne, every time he uses it, there is no one who breaks it, so he has always relied on him as the pillar of the imperial court, but he never thought that as soon as the city of Shangqi was broken, Cao Zhen was so frightened that he stopped moving.
Seeing that Cao Pi's mind had changed greatly, Zhong Miao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the general is not afraid of the Shu army, but is really worried about Your Majesty's safety. If Adou's children make a dangerous move, take a boat down the Weishui, and they can reach Chang'an overnight, and His Majesty's Imperial Forest Army has all died in the street pavilion. ”
Cao Pi let out a long sigh, with deep unwillingness and remorse in his eyes.
"Zhuqing, I was wrong, I was wrong from the beginning. ”
"The real reliance of Shu is not Zhuge Liang at all, but Liu Chan and Liu Adou!"
"He made Zhuge Liang an upright teacher, and he made a surprise move, breaking the Imperial Forest Army in the Street Pavilion, and breaking my Shangtai City, every time he fell, he was above the chess eye, once the Street Pavilion and Shangtai were occupied, not only could they pass through Longxi, but they could also peep into Chang'an, such a big deal, Zhuge Liang could only think of it, but Liu Chan could do it!"
Cao Pi talked eloquently, and every sentence was to the point and to the point.
At this moment, it is the Emperor Cao Wei whose strategic vision is not under his father.
At this moment, it is the generation of kings who used Wu to pacify Qingxu and Xu.
At this moment, it was the northern hero who easily resolved the Mutiny in Licheng.
Several ministers were shocked in their hearts, but they were silent.
You understand now, but the battle has been lost, what can you regret?
"Your Majesty, what should I do then?" Chen Qun stepped forward and asked.
Cao Pi turned a deaf ear and continued to chatter: "I regret it, I know that Liu Bei will die of illness, and there will be movement in Shu, but don't be confused by their immobility in the past few years, if they don't move the army to Hefei and hundreds of thousands of troops enter Guanzhong, how can there be the loss of the street pavilion and the defeat of Shangtai?"
"Your Majesty!" Wang Lang shouted.
"Your Majesty!" Zhong Xuan also shouted.
"Your Majesty!" Hua Xin couldn't help but shout.
Now is the time when the situation is critical, not the time for the emperor to regret it, and a decision must be made as soon as possible, otherwise once the Shu army really comes to Chang'an, it will be dangerous.
Chang'an has no soldiers to fight!
The shouts of several ministers made Cao Pi sober up all of a sudden, his eyes lit up, and he glanced towards the west, although he couldn't see anything, but his eyes were extremely fierce.
"Decree, I will return to the capital Luoyang tomorrow, and order Cao Zhen to lead the army to guard Chang'an. ”
After Cao Pi finished speaking, he waved his long sleeves and said, "I'm tired, Wang Situ will entertain the ministers for me." ”
"Yes. Wang Lang bowed his waist deeply, and when he straightened up, his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
There are impermeable walls in the world, and the news came out quickly, and the whole Chang'an was shaken.
Overnight, Longxi was gone, Chang'an was also under the prying eyes of the enemy, Cao Pi was so frightened that he wanted to flee back to Luoyang, and those scholars who were still singing and making peace with Emperor Wei's poems suddenly disappeared one by one.
The huge Chang'an soon fell into chaos.
And Liu Chan, the emperor of Shu, soon became Liu Chan, the emperor of Ji Han, and his reputation began to completely resound in the land of Guanzhong.
The previous sealing of the boat moved Chang'an.
The current sealed boat is famous in Chang'an.
Some underground forces in Chang'an began to set up gambling games to bet on when Liu Chan, the emperor of the Ji Han Dynasty, would set foot in Chang'an.
"Do you know? When the Ji Han Emperor was born, there was a vision, it is said that there are white cranes standing on the eaves from time to time, and Gan's night dream Beidou is in his arms, and he is born Ji Han Emperor, so he is nicknamed Adou. ”
"So he's a natural emperor?"
"Not really!"
"Your news has long been spread by Jing and Yi, do you know that Zhao Zilong hugged him and rushed to kill Changbanpo back then?"
"Do you have more details?
At the beginning, Zhao Yun held Liu Adou, who was only one year old, and killed Changbanpo, thinking about how good Emperor Wei Wu was, he had already set up a trap pit, and Zhao Yun even trapped people and horses, Zhao Yun thought that he couldn't escape, but suddenly the red light was sheng, Cao Jun's eyes couldn't be opened, only Zhao Yun's eyes were unharmed, so he hurriedly grabbed the horse and left. When Liu Xuande heard this, he stroked Liu Chan's face and said: Liu's Xing, in Er Caohu?"
"Looks like it's really destiny!
