Not long after the summer harvest, it began to rain, but it was a good rain, and if it had fallen a few days earlier, the grain might have rotted in the field, but it was just right for sowing.

The rain lasted for about three days, and on the third day, the rain passed and the sky cleared.

In the past three days, Yang Yi, in addition to handling official business, has been consulting with several Hanlin and ministers to see intelligence and make some secret arrangements.

Half of the passages of the Five Routes of the Northern Expedition have been repaired, and there are troops stationed along the way, and now there are 10,000 people gathered on each of the five routes, which is an exercise, and it is also a preparation for turning from an exercise to an actual battle.

Of course, Yang Yi's strings are not so tight, and he can still find time to take care of the literary affairs.

When the rain stopped, I took a carriage to Guozijian a few streets away, and received Ruan Xian, who was originally a famous person in the world, and was well-known in the Wei State, and when he came to Shudi, a cultural desert land, he was even more outstanding.

Now he has been promoted to the position of the Guozi Supervisor and is the deputy of the Guozi Priest Jiuquyuan.

In this era, entertainment activities, that is, chess are generally suitable, and entertainment and teaching are not wrong.

"Your Majesty, you came just in time, please talk to Ruan Moushou for a few games, and set a model for all students." Ruan Xian, who came out of the door, said very happily as he walked in with Yang Yi.

"Oh, could it be that Ruan Qing has a new work?" Yang Yi smiled and responded, but she had the conditions: "There is only chess, no good tea, but it is not the hospitality of Chinese culture." ”

"Perhaps, in the spring, I personally went to the mountains to pick some green tea, only to fry it, take out some, and taste it with Your Majesty." Ruan Xian said with a smile.

Laughing, he has come to the chess table, and in a side hall of Guozijian, many students are waiting at this time.

The side hall was also cleaned up early, and the rest of the chess tables were removed, as if they were waiting for Yang Yi to arrive, seeing this, Yang Yi had to shake his head and smile.

"Ruan is ugly." The chessboard has been set up, Ruan Xian is personally in battle, began to cook tea, and when the fragrance of tea overflowed, the two of them had already sat down at the table, each holding a son, and the game began.

You come and go, time flies, Ruan Xian also entered the Wendao, at this time the mental power is also soaring, this calculation, is not much worse than Yang Yi, waiting for the two of them to feel hungry, it is almost noon, many students can't hold on, temporarily retreat to rest, Ruan Xian hurriedly instructed the prison officials to prepare meals, and he continued to drink tea and play chess with Yang Yi.

After a while, the meal was ready, and the game stopped, so Yang Yi got up from the chair with a happy face and dined with the students of Guozijian.

At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

"Your Majesty, Master Hanlin Li asks to see you." The internal guard who was waiting outside came to Yang Yi at this time, and whispered, Yang Yi also heard the footsteps, and listened to his voice, there was something urgent.

Yang Yi said to Ruan Xian: "Mr. Ruan, students, please let me withdraw first." ”

"I send you your majesty." Ruan Xian took the students and said calmly.

Yang Yi stood up and walked outside, and when he came out, he saw Li Mi waiting on the steps outside with a brocade guard.

As soon as he saw Yang Yi coming out of it, Li Mi immediately greeted him at this time and said softly: "Your Majesty, I just received the information, and there is already movement on the Wei side. ”

As he spoke, he let the brocade-clothed guard next to him stand up, obviously bringing very important information.

"Oh? What the hell is going on? Don't be in a hurry, and go into detail. Hearing this, Yang Yi's eyes suddenly narrowed and he said.

Although her expression was calm, she could also see that she was very concerned about the every move of the Sima clan of Wei State.

The Jinyi Guard General Hou just got the information and said that he had listened to Yang Yi: "Your Majesty, two days ago, the thief Wei general Sima Zhao and the prime minister Sima Yan sent 50,000 troops in Luoyi, 50,000 in Nanyang County, 50,000 in Taiyuan County, 50,000 in Shangjun, a total of 200,000 in all directions, known as 500,000, and they have already attacked Guanzhong. ”

Hearing this news, Yang Yi was not surprised, Wei can hold on to Yan Han, but Sima's can't, the name is not right, if it drags on, Cao Wei will have another noble countryman, then the family business of the three generations of the Sima family will be empty.

After all, Sima Yan was young and did not have his father's means and ability to suppress the ministers, and now he had to obtain military merits in order to suppress those different voices and thus change from a king to an emperor.

And repeated negotiations, could not make Zhong Hui surrender, Sima Yan finally couldn't bear it, raised troops to attack Zhong Hui, and the army was a four-way joint attack, 200,000 people.

It's Sima Zhao, who can still get up, but it's not ordinary, this time he can get up, if he lies down again, he must be dead.

"It's time!" Yang Yi clapped his hand and ordered: "Convene the secretaries to discuss the matter." ”

As soon as the Wei State moved, it naturally caused the movements of all parties, especially Wu Sun Hao, who also had the ambition to make contributions and expand the territory, and he didn't want to be in a corner of peace, but the intelligence of the Wu State was insufficient, and he didn't know what the situation of Yan Han and Wei was like.

Especially now that the battle situation is in Xiliang, Sun Hao can't reach it, just like back then, it was General Guan who flooded the Seventh Army in Jingzhou, and it was in front of the door that Sun Quan's eyes were hot, and his heart was down, and he made a backstabbing move.

At this time, the situation of Yanhan does not seem to be as good as it was back then, the world has been holding each other for decades, and there are not many people who think about Han anymore, and the people and advantages of those years are gone.

And Yan Han said that he was very weak on the surface, Yang Yi even urgently sent several envoys to the rescue of Wu State, and said that he would buy grain and ore on a large scale, Sun Hao didn't want to turn his face, he synthesized the intelligence of several parties, and felt that although Yan Han had won some battles in the past two years, he had consumed a lot.

Now that the 200,000 troops of the Wei State are attacking, whether Yan Han can hold on or not, he feels that it is very dangerous, but Yan Han is defeated again, and there is still Shu Dao natural danger, and he can still hold on.

This is not the time for backstabbing, if Yan Han can occupy Guanzhong, then he will have to unite with Wei and strangle Yan Han, but Yan Han has even given up the Nanxiang County he occupies, and he is not very optimistic about this situation.

Sun Hao also moved some soldiers and horses, quietly observing the situation, as for what to do, no one could guess.

With the mobilization and confrontation of the three countries, the atmosphere in the world became more and more tense.

At this time, the county town of Hanzhong was basically as calm as before, except for the addition of armor soldiers in front of the city gate, and the entry and exit of the city were restricted, which did not affect the prosperity of the city and the exchange of merchants.

The streets are full of pedestrians, shops large and small, and the worries on the faces of some people are deliberately ignored, and there is no difference between here and before.

The vendors lined up one after another, and one of the wonton stalls near the left outside the city was the most crowded, because the filling was delicious and solid, and at this time, several temporary tables were full of customers.

At this moment, only the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and more than a dozen horsemen galloped away.

"There's another batch, how many batches are there today?"

"It's the fifth batch, I don't know what happened."

"Don't worry about it, it's not something we can do!"

The people who got up early to make a living, seeing this scene, were not a few, and there were many discussions.

At this time, on the stall, the cultivator was eating wontons on the stall, and he saw a group of cavalry passing by, and the recultivation turned his head and walked in the direction of the cavalry's departure, and he was distracted for a long time.

"Guest officer, this is the side dish you want." The stall owner warmly and thoughtfully put two plates of green onions and sauce on the table.

"Oh." The rebuilding party came to his senses, hurriedly finished a large bowl of ravioli, placed a dozen coins on the table, and rebuilt strode in a direction completely different from the direction in which the riders had departed, not into the city, but around the city.

After walking for half a mile, the surrounding houses gradually decreased, and a house appeared in front of him.

The house looked indistinguishable from the surrounding houses, the door was closed from the inside, but it opened silently under the push of reconstruction.

The house has three rooms, a large tree in the courtyard, the branches and leaves have grown buds, the canopy covers one-third of the courtyard, and the sunlight casts through the branches and leaves, making the courtyard slightly darker.

Even so, Chong Xiu still saw the person standing under the tree at a glance, and his face suddenly showed a respectful look, and he took a few steps forward and saluted this person: "Senior Brother Chongjiu, why did you arrive so early?" ”

This person under the tree is also a Taoist priest, named Chongjiu, and his common name is Fan Changsheng, he is the senior brother of this generation, he is very thin, under the two dark eyebrows, his eyes flashed, so that he did not dare to face it.

Fan Changsheng's eyes turned to him at this time, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "I originally followed the caravan in, the checkpoints in the northern land have been very tight these days, I came from the three eastern counties, if I don't happen to meet a caravan, I'm afraid it will take a lot of twists and turns-you will also come quickly!" ”

"Yes, junior brother, I am a member of the Qintian Prison, and I am also an official, so there is no need to go in and out of the city!" Rebuild said.

"The situation is getting more and more serious, rebuild, tell me about your recent events, and then I will decide to act next." Fan Changsheng said, no longer saying polite words, and asked directly.

He has already decided to go out, not as a Taoist priest, but as an ordinary scholar, just like the waiting of the year, decided to support the Dragon Court, before, it took a few months to go down the river, went to Jiangdong, and went north to Xudu, Luoyi and Hedong, and now he has returned.

Chong Xiu nodded, and said: "At this time, the focus of the world is the Guanzhong Zhonghui Department, Sima Zhao is sitting in Luoyi, and has already sent a total of 200,000 troops in advance, and ordered Sima Yan to recruit more than 50,000 troops from Luoyi to attack Chang'an, Nanyang County to recruit 50,000 troops to take precautions, Shang County, Taiyuan County, each recruit 50,000 troops, pointing directly to Guanzhong, these days Sima Yan and the Zhong Hui Department have fought each other, the Zhong Hui Department is at a disadvantage, I am afraid that after a while, it is not difficult for Sima Yan to lead the troops to attack Chang'an City. ”

Re-cultivating pondered what he had seen and heard, and said: "Senior brother, I saw the generals hurrying through the street, and the city seemed to be calm, but I am also an official, and I already know some news, Your Majesty has repeatedly mobilized troops and horses to go north, intends to go on a five-way northern expedition, and has convened meetings many times, according to the information I know, everything is ready and ready to be pulled out at any time, and I have made up my mind to intervene in the war if necessary, and the situation of the battle is inevitable. ”

"The situation of the battle is inevitable, and it seems that it will not be too far from the unification of the world." Listening to the report on reconstruction, Fan Changsheng said lightly.

There was only flatness in the tone, and there was not much emotion.

He is a qi refiner who has long passed the stage of children's affection, greed for money and power, and even worries about the country and the people have gradually disappeared, perhaps from the beginning, these people with spiritual roots have never paid attention to these.

For Qi Refiners, the continuation of the Dao system and the progress of cultivation are far more important than the worldly.

Chong Xiu asked again: "Senior brother, what do you say about this battle?" ”

Fan Changsheng thought for a while and said: "I have been to Hedong in person, and I have already used the art of Kanyu to observe the ancestral temple of the Sima family, and I have also observed the luck, on the ancestral veins of the Sima family, there is already a white qi condensed into a white tiger, standing high on it. ”

"What, is this a good omen for the Sima family's prosperity and a stable foundation?" Chongxiu was immediately taken aback and asked.

"Re-cultivation, you are full of joy and anger, and you have been affected by the luck of the Yan Han, you must know very well that you can only use its luck, not be fascinated by it, just like a chess player outside the chess, if the heart is attached to one side, you will fall into the net!" Fan Changsheng said in a faint voice.

Rebuild was startled, took a few steps back, and said, "It's me who is vain." ”

"Well, it's good that you understand, but this doesn't mean that the Sima family is prosperous and the foundation is stable, when Sima Yi got the ancestral luck, three generations so far, I have watched it before, and the ancestral luck has consumed most of it, and at this time the white tiger is out of the temple, the so-called reflection of the light will be more intense when it will end, just see how this pass is."

"If the Sima clan can win and recapture Yongliang, then the consumed luck can not only make up for it, but also lay a solid foundation and stand on behalf of Wei, but it is impossible to dominate the world in a short period of time."

"And if Yan Han wins and obtains Yongliang, it will be a hidden dragon out of the abyss in the future, and when he sees the dragon in the field, Yan Han will rejuvenate the game, and this game will also end."

Rebuild listened, has suddenly understood, if the Sima clan wins for a while but can't, but has to win again and again, must regain control of Yongliang, in order to suppress the Yan Han, so that under the hold, after the destruction of Sun Wu or Yan Han, the world will be unified.

But Yan Han only needs to win Guanzhong, then the world can be said to be Yan Han's, this difficulty, for Yan Han now, is not difficult, because Yan Han has four hundred years of ancestral luck, which is here.

"Lord Han's strength and luck are good, and his ability is also outstanding, which can be seen from the previous battles, but it is still necessary to send the news back to the division first, and ask the division to be prepared and decisive to be able to deal with emergencies.

As for you, don't act rashly in a short period of time, and wait for the master to have a clear order. With that, Fan Changsheng turned around and walked towards the room.

Rebuild saluted the back, answered the "promise", and left.

Mount Qingcheng

Qingcheng Cave Heaven, this place has been given to Qingcheng Heavenly Master Dao by Yang Yi, and it can be developed a little, outside, some pavilions have been built, and many people have moved out.

However, the real discussion is still in this cave sky, or on the shore of this green lotus.

At this time, the True Monarch who appeared in front of Qingcheng Heavenly Master Dao Zhang Jiao and the elders was glowing with a trace of golden light, disintegrating the erosion of karmic fire little by little, and it seemed that the situation had improved.

Seeing this, everyone was happy, cultivating the earth immortal Dao, it would not consume the merits in the Dao, but it could also suppress the luck, of course everyone was happy.

"Zhenjun, you look better, it's really good!" Knowing that the real person changed at this time, it was related to the erection of the statue of the Mountain Monarch, and it was also related to the luck obtained by the Fulong Court, which made several people present sigh that mere mortals could affect them so deeply.

Zhenjun has already become the Qingcheng Mountain Monarch, and he can only cultivate the land immortal industry, but this is also a good thing for the Dao Vein, with the True Monarch suppressing luck, as long as the Dao Vein does not go against the grain, then the Mountain Monarch can protect the Dao Vein for five hundred years.

"This move is really helpless, but the result was better than expected, there are believers into the incense, I did my best, so it is called a miracle, and the incense is gradually flourishing."

"For example, today, the Yan Han is prosperous, and you should spare no effort to assist in the teaching in addition to cultivation, so as to achieve the goal of continuing the Taoist system." That Zhenjun spoke slowly at this time and said.

After saying these words, the karmic fire on Zhenjun's body skyrocketed again, and he had to end this conversation: "The gods and men are on the way, and many words hurt virtue, this conversation is here, and all things in the Tao will be handed over to you, and as I gradually transform into a god in the future, this opportunity for conversation will gradually decrease, so you can do it!" ”

Subsequently, the deity disappeared, and almost at the same time, the pool of water transformed by merit also shrank by an insignificant line, which was consumption.

At the same time, someone stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Master, elders, the carrier pigeon under the mountain has arrived." ”

"Come in." The master said.

One person sent a roll of paper and gave it to the head teacher first.

The palm of the sect was spread out, and he carefully read the content of the writing on it, and then transferred it to the elders one by one, and the elders finished reading it, and the paper was burned and disappeared in the air.

"Everyone, this battle determines the direction of the world, what do you think, what is the good luck?"

An elder opened his eyes slightly: "The Sima clan's ancestral vein white tiger is the last fight, but the return to the light will not last, I think this battle will be defeated." ”

Another elder sneered and said, "Not necessarily, if Sima Yan leads the army to recapture Guanzhong and surrender Zhonghui, if his luck rises sharply, it may not be a return to the light, maybe it will be a battle against the water, and his luck will be extended." ”

"Then Sima Zhao's longevity is not long, even if he wins this time, what can he do, can he defeat the Han Lord in one fell swoop? If not, when he dies and Sima Yan ascends to the throne, it is still not enough to control him, and the Han lord will definitely be able to raise troops to attack the Central Plains. One of the elders said arguingly.

"According to the news, the Han lord has repeatedly mobilized troops and horses, and has convened meetings many times, and the soldiers and horses of the five routes, the grain, grass and ordnance are ready, and they can be drawn at any time, and they have made up their minds to intervene in the war if necessary, and the situation of the battle is inevitable, rather than avoiding the enemy's edge."

"If the situation of the battle is inevitable, this calamity is unpredictable, fortune and misfortune depend on each other, success or failure, gain and loss, the difference between a line, the Han lord is still too young!"

"Now in this situation, how should we deal with it? Please also teach the real person to decide. Another said.

"Everything has a beginning, it must be practiced, but also to end well, although the beginning and the end of the good are still defeated, there are still more roots, people in our generation, everything but ask for peace of mind, do everything to make things convenient!" The head teacher said lightly.

All the elders couldn't help but be stunned in their hearts, and they didn't want to take charge of this clear banner.

The head of the sect smiled faintly, and said: "But the situation has developed so far, we are powerless to intervene, so let's wait and see!" ”

When the elders heard this, they had no choice but to respond: "No! ”

However, they all turned their attention to Guanzhong, and at this time, the general trend of the world was more important than the retreat practice.
