Liu Xun suddenly looked up along the line of the Yellow River: "Is it the northern route?" Can this go? Thousands of miles of uninhabited, what about the supply of the enemy army? ”

"All or nothing." Zhou Budo looked at the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and said: "This is the Cao army's desperate attempt to kill civilians in order to hide people's eyes, in fact, the two armies have already left the battlefield, and they have joined forces to kill us, and the target is Chang'an." ”

"Cao Zhang and Wu Jun are the Sixth Route Army," Zhou Budo's eyes finally flashed with horror, and sure enough, he still missed a step, he didn't expect that Cao Zhang and Wu Jun had already reached an agreement, and they would cover up their eyes and ears by killing civilians, and desperately kill Chang'an.

All kinds of impossibilities and adventures, Cao Jun did it, but he missed it, now think about it, such a surprise attack, there are a lot of them in history, this is how Li Mu broke the Huns, Xiang Yu broke Liu Bang like this, and Han Xin broke Zhang Han in this way.

Zhou Budo almost affirmed his thoughts, so he finally explained why Zhang Liao was in a hurry to launch an attack on the Qingni Pass, and it was completely contrary to common sense, he should have thought that a general like Zhang Liao would be rash and joke with the lives of soldiers.

Zhou Budo suddenly thought of something, grabbed the booklet, looked at the date described on it, and suddenly lost his mind, and the booklet fell to the ground.

"What's the matter, don't doubt my brother?" Liu Xun replied.

"According to the date, Cao Zhang is almost in Chang'an."

Zhou Budo muttered, as if to confirm his words, a soldier rushed into the hall and said in a panic: "Young master, the big thing is not good, outside the northern horse slope." Large forces of cavalry appeared. Hit the Cao Zi Banner and the Wu Zi Flag. ”

"What?" Liu Xun's face turned pale. I sat down in a chair.

"Young lord, calm down." Zhou Budo came back to his senses and said to the soldiers: "How many enemy troops are coming?" ”

"There is no end in sight, never less than fifty thousand." The soldier replied.

"It's all here." Zhou Budo immediately turned to Liu Xun: "Young lord, immediately order the whole city to be closed, the whole city to prepare for war, and the north city is garrisoned with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and 5,000 people as a reserve army." The rest of the soldiers and horses were stationed in the remaining three cities.

The stragglers around Chang'an were not allowed to enter Chang'an, so as not to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it, and all of them were assembled in Huaili County as a response to Chang'an.

Immediately sent an order to Yang Huai of Hangu Pass to send 20,000 troops back to help, no more and no less, to prevent Cao's army from sneaking up on Hangu Pass.

The order was ordered to the Lantian camp, the Qingni Pass was opened, and the cavalry was recruited nearby to aid Chang'an. ”

"Good. Immediately convene the remaining generals to discuss the matter. Liu Xun immediately ordered the soldiers to summon the generals, and said to Zhou Budu: "Don't doubt my brother." Is it serious? ”

"If the cavalry of the Cao army and Wu Jun's Hun cavalry all come, there are 80,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Zhang himself is brave and invincible, and Wang Yue, the first general under Wu Jun, is the first sword master in the world, with excellent martial arts, I am afraid that no one in the world can match.

Young lord. Zhou Budo solemnly looked at Liu Xun: "This battle, we can't lose, we must not be defeated, this is not only the problem of the loss of Chang'an, but the morale of the Sichuan army of more than 600,000 troops. ”

Liu Xun bit his lip, feeling pain in his heart, he didn't expect that he had been in charge of the country for a year, and the first time he commanded a war, there would be such a catastrophe, but Liu Xun didn't know that Zhou Budo didn't tell him a worse result.

Guanzhong was lost, Yongliang couldn't hold it, of course the Sichuan army could only retreat to Hanzhong, and on the Jiangdong side, Zhou Budo didn't believe that Lu Su would touch the stone with eggs, accelerate the demise of Jiangdong, accelerate the disaster of the Jiangdong clan, those people in Jiangdong are better than monkeys.

Since they dare to attack, they must be sure of victory, and if the Jiangdong army wins and Guanzhong loses again, the Jingzhou Sichuan army will also be hit by a devastating morale, and Jingzhou will inevitably not be protected.

When Liu Zhang comes back, I'm afraid there will be a piece of land left in Yizhou, what will be the consequences? Even Zhou Budo didn't dare to imagine it, let alone take it out at this time to scare Liu Xun.

The generals discussed, heard that tens of thousands of troops actually went straight to Chang'an, all the civilian generals were shocked, Chang'an entered a state of full alert, all kinds of city defense tools and instruments rolled Mouton oil to move to the city, arrows and spears continued to move to the city gate, the whole Chang'an was busy.

"What's going on, why is everyone messing up?"

In the gloomy weather, Fu Shou stood in the attic, looking at the busy people in the outer palace from a distance, and Yahuan replied: "Report to the Empress Dowager, I heard that Cao Jun is coming, and he will arrive in Chang'an this afternoon, and now the whole city is preparing for war." ”

"What? Cao Jun came to Chang'an? Fu Shou frowned.

"The specific slave maid is not clear, I heard that the situation is very critical, but the slave maid feels that as long as His Royal Highness the King of Shu comes back, no matter how many people come, it will not be His Highness's opponent." Yahuan replied.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu?" Fu Shou smiled, and his smile was a little desolate: "Liu Zhang, will he come back?" ”

"Recently, they have been saying that His Royal Highness is not dead, don't you know, Queen Mother?"

"You also believe those rumors, but it's just to calm the hearts of the army." Fu Shou looked at the gloomy weather in the western sky, and said slowly: "Liu Zhang, you have paid so much for your great cause, if you have a spirit in the sky and see this scene today, will you feel that your efforts in life are ridiculous?" ”

……

In the apse of the palace of the king of Shu, a maid ran into a small courtyard, a woman in tight white clothes was practicing swords in the courtyard, and an elegant woman sat at the table to feed a five or six-year-old child.

"Miss, madam, miss, madam, big thing, big thing."

The woman in white who practiced the sword returned the sword to the sheath, wiped a handful of sweat with her sleeve, and said to the maid dissatisfiedly: "What's the big deal?" It's none of our business if something big happens. ”

The woman in white is Sun Jian's daughter Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang, that elegant woman is Da Qiao Wushuang, when Sun Shangxiang married in Chang'an, Liu Zhang had already led troops to the Western Regions, Sun Shangxiang and Qiao Wushuang lived in the back palace of the King of Shu.

Huang Yue didn't know Liu Zhang's intentions, he didn't make his own decisions, treated Sun Shangxiang according to the courtesy of the princess, and kept the maid brought by Sun Shangxiang, Sun Shangxiang proposed to live with Qiao Wushuang, Huang Yue also agreed, and did not feel sorry for Sun Shangxiang.

It's been more than half a year. Sun Shangxiang does not practice swords every day. is to help Qiao Wushuang take care of Sun Shao. used to be very active, because of what he heard from Qiao Wushuang, Sun Shangxiang was very disappointed, and he was a guest this year.

Some time ago, when the news of Liu Zhang's death came, Sun Shangxiang was happy for a while, because what Sun Shangxiang was most worried about in the past half a year was Liu Zhang's return. That means she has to face the problem of her identity.

But after a long time, it has also faded, Sun Shangxiang found that he was a person who had lost his goal, the family killed his brother, but he couldn't take revenge, where can he go in this world?

Sun Shangxiang felt very confused, so she could only use sword practice to kill time, but fortunately, Qiao Wushuang talked with her every day, and she didn't get depression or anything.

Sun Shangxiang was dressed in white and walked next to Sun Shao and sat down. Wipe Sun Shao's chin with a handkerchief, Sun Shangxiang used to like to wear red. But now, when she sees the bright colors, she is inexplicably upset.

"Miss, this time it's a big deal." The maid hurriedly said: "I heard that tens of thousands of Cao soldiers have been killed in Chang'an, and the leader of the Cao army is Cao Cao's son Cao Zhang, who is superior in force, and Wang Yue, the first sword master in the world, the soldiers of the Sichuan army are panicking because of Liu Zhang's death, and I am afraid that Chang'an will not be guaranteed." ”

"What?" Qiao Wushuang frowned first, and Sun Shangxiang's hand to wipe Sun Shao's chin also stopped in the air.

"It's true, miss, madam, let's think about the city is broken, what should we do." The maidservant said urgently.

"yes, yes." Several handmaidens came over, everyone wore swords, there were twelve, all of them were handmaidens brought by Sun Shangxiang from Jiangdong, and everyone knew martial arts.

"Or let's go." A maidservant girl proposed: "Let's go and say goodbye to Madame Huang, Madame Huang is a kind person, this kind of moment should not be difficult for us, right?" ”

After coming to Chang'an, the people of the Sun family were originally nervous and wary, but this kind of vigilance slowly collapsed under Huang Yue's wifely demeanor, and now the people of the Sun family have a good impression of Huang Yue.

"Mrs. Huang is good to us, let's leave, or is this kind of moment, isn't it chilling?" Sun Shangxiang said, Sun Shangxiang is a woman with clear grievances, although she has a bad impression of Liu Zhang, but Huang Yue really didn't have to say anything to the people of the Sun family, if it wasn't for Qiao Wushuang to accompany her, she wouldn't know how to spend this year.

Sun Shangxiang is still grateful to Huang Yue in her heart.

"Xiangxiang is right, but even if we don't take into account Mrs. Huang, where can we go when we leave?" Qiao Wushuang looked at Sun Shangxiang and the maidservants.

A group of people were silent, these maidservants already knew about Sun Ce, and now Jiangdong is controlled by the Shi clan, Sun Quan has also become a puppet, and he is still addicted to what immortal Dao, and they are also angry when they go back, compared to this, it is a little better here.

Although Sun Shangxiang has twelve female guards, in addition to not being able to go on a rampage with his wife everywhere, he still has basic personal freedom.

"Xiangxiang." Qiao Wushuang said after a while: "We should stand on the same front as the Sichuan army, and even help them defend the city." ”

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Sun Shangxiang looked at Qiao Wushuang suspiciously: "Sister-in-law, I listened to your words, I don't hate Liu Zhang so much, and I understand why Liu Zhang slaughtered the clan so much, but I don't have a good impression of him at all, why should we help the Sichuan army?" ”

"Because you don't have a good impression of the King of Shu, you don't help the Sichuan army?" Qiao Wushuang actually looked at Sun Shangxiang with a smile, Sun Shangxiang suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, her pretty face flushed, and the maids around her also chuckled, which was very incongruous in this tense atmosphere.

Sun Shangxiang slapped a servant girl next to him: "Okay, sister-in-law, you misunderstood what I said, I'm not because of my impression of Liu Zhang, well, no, it's not from Liu Zhang's wife's point of view, oops, it's not, in short, I don't think we have any reason to help the Sichuan army." ”

Qiao Wushuang shook his head and didn't say anything, as a person who came over, Qiao Wushuang understood that Sun Shangxiang's way of thinking was normal, whether she wanted it or not, she was already married to Liu Zhang, even if she didn't admit it verbally, she knew it in her heart.

So sometimes when I think about things, I unconsciously think from the perspective of Liu Zhang's wife, which is understandable.

"It's not without reason, Xiangxiang, have you forgotten that we still have hatred?" Qiao Wushuang said, Sun Shangxiang was suddenly stunned, and the flush on his face disappeared instantly.

Qiao Wushuang glanced at the sky in the southeast, and sighed after a while: "Xiangxiang, Madam Huang allowed us to move around, we are not closed here, how long has your brother been cultivating immortals?" No matter how long the politics have been?

I'm afraid that in less than half a year, at most a year, Jiangdong will completely become the world of Lusu and Zhang Hong, and we will never be able to go back to Jiangdong, and revenge is even more far away.

We can only take revenge with the help of the Sichuan army, I told you, that place in Jiangdong is your brother, my husband knocked it down, if it is surnamed Sun, then I can not touch it, but if it is not surnamed Sun, then there is no one for your brother, and I will definitely take revenge.

But I'm a weak woman, you will be useless at all, how can we take revenge, in the end we can only count on the Sichuan army, the Sichuan army is the mortal enemy of those clan lords, except for the Sichuan army, we can't count on anyone.

So we are on the same front with the Sichuan army, and this is the reason why we help the Sichuan army. ”

Sun Shangxiang listened to Qiao Wushuang's words, was silent for a long time, raised his head and said, "But what can we help the Sichuan army?" Do you want me to guard the city with twelve sisters? What is the role of thousands of troops? It's hard to say whether they're willing to let us keep it. ”

"Not necessarily." Qiao Wushuang took out something from his arms, it was a bag-like thing. "You take this to Mrs. Huang and ask her to hand it over to Liu Xun."

"What is this?" Sun Shangxiang took it, opened the bag, and saw that there was a silk silk inside, but the maid on the side said: "Madam, Mrs. Huang went out early in the morning, and she is not in the palace now." ”

"Where did she go?" Qiao Wushuang frowned.

"I heard that it was to appease the army, but now that the Sichuan army has lost its lordship, the army's heart is floating, Mrs. Huang went to the front line, Chang'an is so big, I don't know where it went."

"What?" Qiao Wushuang frowned deeply, and said to Sun Shangxiang: "Then you take this to Liu Xun, if Liu Xun is not seen, you will take it and hand it over to the generals of the Sichuan army who are guarding the city, the stakes are very high, Xiangxiang, you will go immediately." ”

Sun Shangxiang also finished reading the silk silk, his expression changed, and he hurriedly went out with the bag, and the rest of the maidservants also went out separately to find Huang Yue and other important Sichuan army generals.

Sun Shangxiang heard that Liu Xun also went to the city, so he hurriedly took two maidservants to the city, begged his father to tell his grandmother under the city, and the soldiers did not allow Sun Shangxiang to go to the city, and he couldn't see Liu Xun at all, nor did he see other senior generals.

Sun Shangxiang saw that there were also generals organizing the transportation of materials under the city, and stepped forward one by one, but the soldiers at the head of the city were busy, and there were people carrying materials everywhere.

Cao Zhang's sudden attack, Chang'an was not well prepared, even if it was carried with all its might, it was impossible to be completely prepared before the enemy attacked the city. (To be continued......)
