Chapter Ninety-Nine: Reactions from All Sides

On the Wei side, Guo Huai's main force was defeated, and he was unable to attack Longxi again for a while, so he had to defend Tianshui and wait for reinforcements.

Unless the states mobilize large armies, Guo Huai will not be able to launch another major war in a short period of time.

The news that Shu captured Longxi City in Yongzhou and defeated Guo Huai, the assassin of Yongzhou in Wei, soon spread in all directions.

The news was transmitted back to Shu, and Chengdu was jubilant again.

I didn't expect Jiang Wei to be able to defeat Yongzhou Longxi with a mere 10,000 soldiers and horses, and this kind of merit is not inferior to Prime Minister Zhuge Kongming.

The big Han people in Chengdu rushed to tell each other, enthusiastically discussing Jiang Wei's exploits, talking about Jiang Wei only conquering Jiaozhou last year, could it be that Yongzhou will be conquered this year?

Although no one can say whether Jiang Wei can completely defeat Yongzhou, everyone is full of expectations.

In the Shu Han Palace, Jiang Wan took Fei Yixing to the palace in a hurry to report to Liu Chan on the progress of the front.

When Liu Chan heard that Jiang Wei had captured Longxi and captured all the Qiang tribes in Yongzhou, he was immediately excited, and said to Jiang Wan with a red face.

"Yongzhou, which my father and father have been pursuing all their lives, was finally pried open by Boyo!"

Jiang Wan was also very excited, and said to Liu Chan:

"Yes, Your Majesty, my Shu Han has Longxi City in hand, so I can make Wudu and Longxi Liancheng together, and I can control Cao Wei Yongliang's throat, just like beating a snake on Cao Wei's seven inches!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, although Longxi City is small, its strategic location in Yongzhou is extremely important, and it is a place where soldiers must fight, with Longxi City in hand, our army can also go out of Yongzhou from Longxi, Wudu, and Hanzhong, opening a new channel to cut Wei!" Fei Yi added.

"Good! Good! Well done Boyo! Liu Chan was very happy after listening to the words of the two.

"Jiang Aiqing, tell me, what should I do next? Is the time ripe for the Northern Expedition? ”

Jiang Wan heard Liu Chan say that he was going to go on a northern expedition, and the smile on his face came to an abrupt end.

"Your Majesty, it's too early for the Northern Expedition at this time! My Shu Han national strength is still unable to support the Northern Expedition, and I still need to recuperate! ”

Fei Yi also hurriedly added: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Northern Expedition is a national war, and it should not be said lightly, before General Wei Jiang Boyo set out on the expedition, he said that it was not suitable for the Northern Expedition this year. ”

Liu Chan saw that both of them were against the large-scale Northern Expedition, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, he felt that Jiang Wei had made great contributions to the north this time, and now that Longxi had been won, he could take advantage of the victory to pursue.

But the two important ministers in front of him were against the Northern Expedition, which made him a little undecided.

So he said: "Yesterday, Wei Yan, the governor of Yong'an, said that Longxi has been broken, the Wei army has been defeated, and the morale of my Han is booming, which is a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition, and Wei Yan wants to move to Hanzhong and prepare for the Northern Expedition!" ”

"What? Wei Yan wants the Northern Expedition? Jiang Wan was a little surprised.

However, although there were some surprises, he felt that it was reasonable, because Wei Yan had been guarding Hanzhong before, following Zhuge Kongming on several northern expeditions, and had also offered the Meridian Valley Scheme.

It can be seen that Wei Yan is also a general who advocates the Northern Expedition in his bones.

Now that he sees that Jiang Boyao has made contributions in Yongzhou, he must have itched in his heart for a long time.

Wei Yan is second only to Jiang Wei in the official position among the military generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, and he has served in two dynasties, and he is a veteran figure among the military generals, and his views also represent the views of a large number of generals who have participated in the Northern Expedition.

Seeing Liu Chan's displeasure, Jiang Wan also looked sad, Fei Yi suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, the Northern Expedition is a major event, do you want to listen to General Jiang Wei's opinion?"

When Jiang Wan heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened, Fei Yi's words were clever, neither against Liu Chan, nor offended Wei Yan, and threw the question to Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wan knew that Jiang Wei did not approve of the Northern Expedition at this moment, and it was okay to fight a small fight, but Jiang Wei did not advocate fighting a war. So Jiang Wan thought that Jiang Wei would definitely not agree to the Northern Expedition, so he also said:

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that when you ask Jiang Boyo's opinion, after all, he is in Yongzhou, he has the deepest understanding of the situation in Yongzhou, and he can make the most correct judgment!"

Liu Chan felt that this was reasonable, so he said to Jiang Wan: "Okay then! Lonely sent someone to ask for Boyo's opinion, and then make a conclusion! ”

Seeing Liu Chan loosen his mouth, Jiang Wan and Fei Yi both breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, the three of them discussed the issue of rewarding the merits of the Battle of Longxi and the resettlement of the Qiang people, and the general principle put forward by Jiang Wan was that the merits should be in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty.

As for the placement of the Qiang people, they can be given to Oh He to burn Ge and seal the pavilion, and the leaders of the rest of the departments can be crowned, and if they make further contributions in the future, they can enter the seal. As for the place where the Qiang people live, it is already in Yongzhou, so there is no need to move.

For Jiang Wan's proposals, Liu Chan approved them one by one.

In this way, the tone of Shu Han and Longxi was set.

Wu State, Jian Ye City.

Sun Quan, the emperor of Wu, also received a battle report from Cao Wei Yongzhou, and it happened that Lu Xun was also in Jianye, so Sun Quan summoned Lu Xun, Zhuge Jin and Gu Yong, three henchmen, to discuss how Wu should react to this incident.

After the three of them arrived, Sun Quan asked straight to the point:

"Three Aiqing, I heard that Cao Wei was defeated by Jiang Wei of Shu in Yongzhou and lost Longxi, an important place in Yongzhou, I don't know what you Aiqing think about this matter?"

Zhuge Jin spoke first.

"Your Majesty, it seems that this Jiang Wei is indeed worthy of being the heir of Zhuge Wuhou, who is very good at the method of battle formation, and can actually lay down a piece of territory in Yongzhou, where heavy troops are gathered. It can be seen that it is a wise move for our country to reunite with Shu Han in a timely manner! ”

Sun Quan nodded.

Gu Yong spoke again:

"Your Majesty, the defeat of Yongzhou in Wei is bound to react, according to the report of the spies planted in Wei, the Wei lord Cao Rong is very angry, if it is not for the courtiers to intercede, he is also ready to severely punish Yongzhou assassin Guo Huai, it can be seen that Cao Rong is really angry, presumably he will draw a large army, gather in Yongzhou, and wait for the opportunity to recapture Longxi."

Sun Quan asked: "Gu Xiang thinks, will Cao Wei send Jing Yang's soldiers and horses to fight in Yongzhou?" ”

Gu Yong thought for a while and said, "The minister thinks that this possibility cannot be ruled out, because the minister has also received news that Cao Wei will crusade against Gongsun Yuan in the near future!"

As soon as Gongsun Yuan was mentioned, Sun Quan was angry and slapped the table hard.

"Humph! This Gongsun Yuan, really a shameless villain, killed my envoys of Wu State, detained my Wu State soldiers and horses, and swallowed my Wu State assets, this thief is so ruthless and unjust, even if Cao Wei doesn't make a move, Lone will take action to clean him up sooner or later! ”

Everyone knew that Sun Quan was just quick to speak, but no one dared to say it, and the scene suddenly felt a little embarrassing.

Lu Xun opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty thinks that Wei State may use troops on both sides, and will transfer Jing Yang soldiers and horses, so I can take the opportunity to go on a northern expedition?" ”

When Sun Quan saw Lu Xun, he said his thoughts, and said to Lu Xun with great satisfaction:

"Bo Yan really knows loneliness! I wonder if Bo Yan thinks this is a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition? ”

Lu Xun said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think it's not right now, but I'm afraid it's not far away?" ”

"Oh? Bo Yan, quickly tell me your opinion to Gu Ting, what is not now, but it is not far away? Sun Quan hurriedly asked.
