The dispute over the Shangshu Order of Shu came to an end in the first month.

Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, made a new appearance, promoted Dong Ju to Shangshu Ling, Zhuge Zhan to General Wei, and Fan Jian to serve in the middle of the service, and all three of them added Shangshu affairs to take charge of national affairs.

Obviously, the Lord of Shu neither wanted to obey the Jingzhou system, nor did he want to be swayed by Jiang Wei.

Originally, the Lushang Shushi presided over by one person was divided into three people.

Once the power is dispersed, it will become weak, not only can it not threaten the imperial power, but even Huang Hao can't suppress it.

Huang Hao's power is growing.

Liu Yong, the king of Ganling, persuaded Liu Chan to stay away from the eunuchs several times, but Liu Chan did not stay away from Huang Hao, but stayed away from him first, and did not see him for many years.

The prince Luo Xiangang was upright, and he was jealous of Huang Hao and was demoted to Padang Taishou.

The general of the town army, Zong Zhude, was highly respected, and when he saw that the state affairs were changing, he even lived in a simple place and did not ask about the government.

The Lord of Shu before the Battle of Duangu and the current Lord of Shu seem to be two people, bent on having fun with Huang Hao.

used to support Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, but now he is also indifferent to Jiang Wei.

At the end of last year, Jiang Wei wrote that he could send troops to the three counties of Shangyong, one to avoid fighting for Guanzhong with Liangzhou, and the other to avoid the chaos in Guanzhong, take the land of Jingbei, and extend his hand to the more prosperous Nanyang and Hongnong regions to expand the strategic space of Shu.

I read the book three times in a row, but I was lost in the sea.

There was only Huang Hao's cynicism, "The country is weak, the people are resentful, the soldiers are tired, and they are about to recuperate, and the general is still at home to rest for a few years." ”

The wind direction of the entire Shu Kingdom has also changed, and in the past, the Northern Expedition could unite people's hearts, men should fight, and women should be lucky.

As long as the edict of the Lord of Shu came down, the morale of the people in the country was instantly high.

However, when the Northern Expedition is mentioned now, it will attract public resentment.

Dong Ju and Fan Jian have repeatedly persuaded each other not to cause more trouble.

Even Liao Hua, the general of the right chariot cavalry, also wrote, "If the soldiers do not fight, they will burn themselves, and Boyo is also called." Wisdom is not the enemy, but the strength is less than Kou, and the use is insatiable, how can it stand? Shiyun: Not self-first, not self-second, today's things are also. ”

It means that your Jiang Wei's resourcefulness and strength are not as good as the enemy's, but he has repeatedly used troops, and if the army is not smooth, he will play with fire and burn himself.

Jiang Wei was extremely depressed and drank with Xiahou Ba Pavilion.

The north is the season when thousands of miles of ice are frozen, but Chengdu has a warm climate.

A few swallows flew back from the south, tapped the green water, picked up a mouthful of soft mud, and before they knew it, it was spring again.

However, the two people sitting opposite each other were already in the twilight.

The expression on his face couldn't help but be a little sad.

Xiahou Ba is far away from the rights and wrongs of the Shu court, recuperates wholeheartedly, does not deliberately make friends, goes out in spring, travels in the mountains in summer, hunts in autumn, reads in winter, and lives an unusually moist life.

If Yang Zheng stood in front of Xiahouba now, he would definitely not recognize this rich old man who had taken off his military uniform as his former boss.

"If a small country does not use soldiers, within a few years, its morale will be depressed, and people's hearts will be sunk, and it will be swallowed up by a big country." The wrinkles on Jiang Wei's face were deeper than those of Xiahou Ba, as if they had been cut with a knife.

Xiahou Ba waved his sleeves and raised the bottle to the sky, "The water of the waves is clear, you can wet my hair; The water of the waves is turbid, and you can wet my feet. With such a situation, why go against the tide? ”

"Zhong Quan Gong also thinks that the Northern Expedition should not be?" Jiang Wei raised his eyebrows.

"Those who insist on the Northern Expedition in the country are the only ones who can preside over the Northern Expedition, and those who can preside over the Northern Expedition are also the only ones, and there are strong enemies outside and discord at home, which is a taboo for soldiers." In the past, Xiahou Ba spoke secretly, but now that he is old, he is like this in Shu, so he can speak anything calmly.

Jiang Wei knew that what he said was the truth, and his heart was inevitably more depressed, "Zhongquan Gong once said that Zhong Hui had a deep strategy, and he would be worried about Wu and Han. ”

Among the countries in the world, Shu Han is the weakest.

Yang Zheng rose in Liangzhou and became a growing threat to Shu.

And in order to go further, Sima Zhao first destroyed the old enemy Shu State is also the best choice.

Persimmon of course to pick a soft pinch.

Therefore, Jiang Wei needed the Northern Expedition to declare to the outside world that Shu still had the strength to fight.

It's like two hooligans lounging in front of your house, if you close the doors and windows, they will only become more and more arrogant, and if you rush out with a knife and shout at the throat, the hooligans may be scared away.

Xiahou Ba also sighed, "For today's plan, only by uniting Yang Zheng to fight against the Sima clan can the Han Dynasty hold out for a few more years." ”

"The scorching sun, the willows are green, don't chase the east mountain horse, but follow the west mountain clouds. Has Zhong Quan Gong ever heard this nursery rhyme? Jiang Wei suddenly diverted the topic.

In the past two years, this nursery rhyme has spread more and more widely, how could Xiahouba not have heard it?

Jiang Wei didn't wait for him to answer, and said: "Yang Zheng has long had the intention of plotting me, and now he has formed an alliance with him, isn't it a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?" Moreover, he has always claimed to be a loyal minister of Cao Wei, Cao Wei and the Han are old enemies, how can I form an alliance with him? Hanzhong has been a natural danger since ancient times, Cao Zhen, Cao Shuang and his son were defeated and returned from Shu, if he has no intention of attacking me, he can be safe, if he attacks me, Hanzhong will be his grave! ”

Even after experiencing the defeat of Duan Gu, Jiang Wei still has this self-confidence.

At this point, Xiahou Ba also admitted that there were many internal and external reasons for the defeat of Duan Gu, if Jiang Wei and Deng Ai were in a different place, I was afraid that Deng Ai's defeat would be even worse, "The general is really Sun Wu Fusheng." ”

On the second day, Jiang Wei offered a strategy of gathering troops in the valley.

It is believed that although it is in line with the meaning of "Zhou Yi", it can only resist the enemy and cannot gain a lot.

It is better to withdraw the siege and defenders, retreat to the two cities of Han and Le, and be horns for each other, if the enemy arrives, then the wall is clear, and the enemy is lured to go deeper, and then Jiang Wei is out of the middle of the river, Liao Hua is out of Yinping, and he is directly inserted into it, and the enemy who enters Shu is trapped and killed in Hanzhong.

Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, has no interest in military affairs, and Huang Hao doesn't know anything about it.

Dong Ju, Zhuge Zhan, and Fan Jian have just taken office, and they can't control Jiang Wei's head, which is the responsibility of the general.

So the whole Shu country didn't take it too seriously.

And Hu Ji, the governor of Hanzhong, failed to meet the deadline due to the battle of Duangu, resulting in Jiang Wei's fiasco, although he was not punished, but his reputation plummeted, and it was impossible to oppose the adoption of the military order agreed by Shangshutai and the lord of Shu.

Gathering troops in the valley, Jiang Wei's hand reached into Hanzhong in a dignified manner, officially intervened in the military power of Hanzhong, and guarded Hancheng with 5,000 troops of Jiang Bin, and guarded Lecheng with 5,000 troops of Wang Han, and divided the Hanzhong army into Xi'an, Jianwei, Wuwei, Shimen, Wucheng, Jianchang, Linyuan and other places to defend Qishan and let go of the Qinling Mountains. The military power of the governor Hu Ji was then hollowed out.

Xiahou Ba sat alone at home, and all kinds of news in the court naturally entered his ears.

Many things are confusing to the authorities, but onlookers can see more clearly.

Jiang Wei deserves to be a sergeant in Liangzhou, and he suppressed Hu Ji and others as soon as he made a move. However, it is in vain to be able to control Hu Ji and not Huang Hao. Xiahouba wrote and drew on the paper, as if he was talking to himself.

"The First Evolution"

After writing, pinch them together and drop them into a wax ball.

"Take it back and give it to your master." Xiahou Ba casually threw the wax pill on the ground.

There was no one in the room.

No one, in the shadows, but a voice came from underground, "Thank you, General." ”

Xiahou Ba sighed, "Jiang Boyao is already suspicious of me, this is the only thing that can help you, don't come to me in the future, I still want to have a peaceful birthday in the last few years." ”
