After Liu Bei finished reciting the Northern Expedition text dedicated to the ancestors, the temple fell into a tranquility.

Outside the sword, it was suddenly rumored to collect Liangzhou, and the clothes were full of tears when I heard it for the first time.

This is Liu Bei's state just now - crying with joy.

But after crying with joy, the tears on Liu Bei's face gradually disappeared, especially after reading the content of the Northern Expedition.

Crying with joy is the performance that he, an unworthy descendant and an elder who licks calves, should have, but it should not be the performance of an emperor.

"Someone!"

Liu Bei let out a clear drink from his mouth.

The attendant who heard Liu Bei's call immediately hunched over and came to Liu Bei's side from outside the temple.

The chamberlain thought that Liu Bei would have some orders, but after he arrived, Liu Bei did not say anything immediately.

Noticing Liu Bei, who was standing behind him, looking at the ancestral spirit cards surrounded by smoke, his thoughts seemed to have returned to the first year of Chuping.

That year, Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, and Liu Bei's mentor Lu Zhi offended Dong Zhuo and was dismissed and returned to his hometown, passing through the plains.

Liu Bei specially went out of the city to greet Lu Zhi in person.

In that year, the Han Dynasty was almost the consensus of the people in the world.

At the banquet, the drunken Lu Zhi once asked Liu Bei: "The Han family is covered with dust, what is the king doing?" ”

Liu Bei replied: "I am willing to wipe the dust with my body." ”

Lu Zhifu asked, "What if the Han family collapses?" ”

Faced with this more serious consequence, the fashionable young Liu Bei obviously hesitated.

But soon Liu Bei gave the answer:

"I am willing to take every step and make up for the blue sky."

Liu Bei that year, his tone was very firm.

Liu Bei, who remembered the past, exhaled a heavy breath.

He won't change.

Liu Bei handed over the Northern Expedition document in his hand to the chamberlain behind him, and said loudly: "Order someone to copy many copies of this Northern Expedition document, and send it to all major states and counties, so that it is well known." ”

After hearing that this article was a major event related to the Northern Expedition, the chamberlain did not dare to slack off at all.

He respectfully took the Northern Expedition document in Liu Bei's hand and was about to leave, but Liu Bei's next words made the chamberlain stunned in place.

"Ling Shangshu ordered the edict to spread to the four seas, I want to personally conquer the Northern Expedition!"

After hearing Liu Bei's words, the waiter showed surprise on his face, and he hurriedly persuaded Liu Bei, who was worried about Liu Bei's body:

"Your Majesty, the war has its own general, the battlefield is dangerous, and the road is difficult, so why risk it."

As an old man who has always been by Liu Bei's side, he knows that Liu Bei's body is not optimistic at all.

Although it is the best time for the Han army to go on the Northern Expedition, Liu Bei's body will definitely be unbearable for a thousand-mile expedition.

In the midst of the exhortation, there was a faint choked voice in the words of the attendant.

But in the face of the advice of the chamberlain, Liu Bei just replied lightly:

"I am the son of heaven of the Great Han!

No jokes. ”

After Liu Bei said this, the waiter's eyes were already full of tears, but he knew that there was no room for turning back in this matter.

So he finally held back his tears and walked out with the Northern Expedition document in his hand.

When the attendant walked out of the Taimiao, Liu Bei looked at the Taizu and Shizu rankings in the six tablets in front of him.

He didn't dare to compare with the two ancestors, but what the two ancestors were not afraid of back then, he Liu Bei would not be afraid either.

Liu Bei bowed deeply to the ranking in front of him:

If the destiny of heaven is him, at least, let him at least be able to personally worship the spirit cards of the ancestors and return them to the ancestral temple of Chang'an.

When Liu Bei bowed, a breeze suddenly floated in the temple, and when the breeze blew through the chimes in the temple, there was a pleasant sound.

This pleasant sound is like the whispering of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty:

"Go.

Let's go. ”

Regardless of success or failure, having such children and grandchildren is enough to make every ancestor proud.

This is worthy of the surname Liu!

In August of the fourth year of Han Zhangwu, two shocking news broke out in Chengdu.

The first news is that the Han general Mi Yang borrowed the monstrous Han water to destroy more than 100,000 Wei troops, and the first war relieved the danger of Liangzhou.

But just when the people in Chengdu had not yet woken up from this shock, Shang Shutai followed the emperor's order and issued an even more shocking news.

The Son of Heaven wants to personally conquer the Northern Expedition!

When this news spread in the streets and alleys of Chengdu, the people in Chengdu were suddenly brought to a new climax.

The land has fallen to the enemy, but the world can only be in the south, which has always been a pain in the hearts of all Han people, and even a shame.

Shame in the world often triggers deep hatred.

For the living Hermes-Epitek, they probably don't know what the national strategy is when they tell them, but telling them that they are going to be ashamed of the next thing will arouse great enthusiasm.

This is the sense of honor and disgrace engraved in the hearts of every Han people since the era of Emperor Xiaowu.

Especially the four words of the Son of Heaven's personal enlistment, it sounds even more heart-wrenching.

If such a grand event is held, how can it not cause a huge sensation in Chengdu?

And just when this news was spreading rapidly in Chengdu, the majestic and passionate Northern Expedition essay written by Mi Yang also began to spread at a very fast speed.

For a time, all the literate people in Chengdu rushed to copy the content of the Northern Expedition.

Under the enthusiasm of the people, Chengdu was once expensive.

And this rising tide in Chengdu City is spreading to the outside world at a very fast speed.

Announce to the world, let the salty make it known!

Compared with the boiling cheers south of Qishan, Chen Cang north of Qishan seemed to be dead silent.

As the closest important town to the front line, not long ago, there were remnants of soldiers who fled from the front line to Chencang City.

However, due to the obstruction of the Xiegu Road and the Luogu Road, and the muddy and difficult to walk on the two mountain roads due to the previous rainy season, there are very few such remnants.

As soon as the number of people is small, no matter how shocking the news they say, Hao Zhao will not believe it.

Due to Cao Wei's strict military law, deserters often occur in the army, and after the deserters are captured, what reason can't they pull out in order to exonerate themselves?

Hao Zhao has seen too many such things.

So at first, Hao Zhao didn't even send people to the front line to find out the news.

But as time went by, more and more soldiers fled to Chencang City, and there were even many generals.

The most terrifying thing was that after reviewing their identities, Hao Zhao found that most of the routs were the defenders of Xiegu and Luogu.

What does it mean that the defenders of these two places have fled to Chencang?

Hao Zhao, who thought of the importance of the Slope Valley and Luo Valley, couldn't help but shudder.

Things have developed to this point, and Hao Zhao immediately sent scouts to the front line to investigate the news.

But no one from the scouts sent out ever returned.

This made Hao Zhao more and more scared in his heart, but he couldn't help but retain a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps, things are not so bad!

At this time, Hao Zhao believed that the front line had lost the battle, but he was still uncertain about the extent of the defeat.

But a person who fled to Chen Cang soon after broke Hao Zhao's illusion.

After General Zhu Ling!

After Zhu Ling fled to Chen Cang, he was almost like a beggar.

After devouring a lot of food to replenish the energy in his body, Zhu Ling said to Hao Zhao the news that was like a thunderbolt from the sky.

"Great water, great water!

Our army has been wiped out! ”

Zhu Ling conveyed this information to Hao Zhao with a frightened face and a crying face.

After hearing this information, Hao Zhao fell to the ground in fright.

He shook Zhu Ling desperately and asked him about Cao Zhen or other Wei generals, but Zhu Ling didn't know anything about this.

Before the arrival of the great water, all the Wei generals were scrambling to find life-saving ships, and the violent indentation of the great water had already washed away the ships where the Wei generals were, where else to find any generals?

At this moment, Hao Zhao realized why there had been no news of defeat on the front line.

The biggest reason is not that the mountain road is blocked, nor is it that Cao Zhen deliberately conceals it, but that the entire Wei army is organized, and the command system of the entire Wei army has been collapsed by Mi Yang!

In this case, who will send the defeat report?

And the scouts who came back later brought another shocking news to Hao Zhao.

Liu Bei is about to conquer Guanzhong!

At the same time as this news arrived, there was also Mi Yang's Northern Expedition letter.

After reading the content of the Northern Expedition, Hao Zhao was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

If the news of the annihilation of the entire army on the front line had not been received, the power of this Northern Expedition could not have been so great.

But! But!

What scares Hao Zhao the most is how he should report these two pieces of news to Luoyang!

Even if he doesn't want to report the two bad news to Luoyang, Hao Zhao can't afford the crime of bullying the king.

Besides, if it is not reported to Luoyang, how can Guanzhong get reinforcements?

In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, Hao Zhao gritted his teeth and wrote the two pieces of news into a report, and ordered someone to send it to Luoyang urgently for 600 miles.

And when this messenger arrived at Shangshutai in Luoyang, the entire Luoyang exploded in an instant.

For the first time, the subjects of the Great Wei Dynasty in Luoyang experienced the feeling of the sky falling apart.

On top of the urgently convened council that gathered all the important ministers, Cao Pi looked at the long recital in his hand with an iron face.

Just after seeing the news that Cao Zhen's entire army was wiped out and his own whereabouts were unknown, Cao Pi couldn't help but cover his chest.

Heartache, anger, regret, all these emotions must be preceded by the word extreme.

The shock brought by flooding their own army of more than 100,000 was great.

Especially after knowing that the embankment that buried more than 100,000 of his own army was built by his own army, the sense of anger and shame was like two pairs of big hands, constantly slapping Cao Pi's face.

But it may be that in recent years, Cao Pi has received too many defeats, and he has been tempered in his heart, and finally stubbornly resisted the action of spurting out a mouthful of old blood.

It's just that after seeing Mi Yang's extremely arrogant Northern Expedition text, Cao Pi couldn't hold back anymore after all, and sprayed the old blood that had accumulated in his chest directly on the newspaper in his hand.

It's not that Cao Pi's heart is not strong enough, it's really that Mi Yang's Northern Expedition is too lethal.

It's just enough to insult Cao for several generations at the beginning, and many people have done so.

But in the main content of the text, Mi Yang constantly mocked his incompetence and the incompetence of the Wei army in an extremely arrogant tone.

The most odious thing is that he also uses contrasts!

When Mi Yang's arrogant ridicule was combined with his terrifying record, the impact was directly like a steel knife turned into substance, and it was inserted into Cao Pi's heart.

And while the steel knives stabbed Cao Pi's heart with blood, they undoubtedly cut Cao Wei's political slogan "Destiny in Wei" to pieces in front of the world.

"Heaven is not to be right, and the sin of disobedience is heavy."

This sentence undoubtedly caused great harm to Cao Wei's political and legal system.

And from the perspective of this consequence, the sentence "The scolding of the other side is not endless, and the blade of Liangzhou has sunk into his chest" is not a boast.

At this moment, Cao Pi felt that his chest was aching hotly.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven suddenly spit blood from his mouth because of the report in his hand, the ministers in the hall were already panicked, and at this time they were even more panicked and their faces were full of fear.

There are even many ministers who want to rush up to investigate Cao Pi's situation, but they are blocked by the forbidden army in the palace, so they can only rush to keep jumping below.

Fortunately, Cao Rong, the king of Qi, was not stopped by the forbidden army, and came to Cao Pi's side and anxiously probed his body.

Seeing Cao Ei coming, Cao Pi grabbed Cao Ei's hand.

Due to the grief and indignation in his heart, Cao Pi's hands were bruised, and this kind of strength made Cao Ei feel a little painful, but Cao Ei did not withdraw his hand after all.

In the end, Cao Pi seemed to realize that something was wrong, slowly let go of his hand, and let Cao Rong return to his original position.

After Cao Rong returned to his place with worried eyes, the ministers in the palace saw that Cao Pi seemed to be fine, so they began to babble one by one:

"My army of more than 100,000 troops has been wiped out, and the thief army is no longer restrained, with the ability of the thief, the hussar general and the general of Zhengshu are in danger."

It was Sikong Wang Lang who said this, and when he said this, Wang Dasikong was extremely angry.

And after Wang Lang said this, Situ Huaxin on the side directly answered:

"What do you mean about the two generals? Don't you see that the target of the thief army is in Chang'an? If Chang'an is lost, half of the country will fall into the hands of the enemy! ”

As he said this, Hua Xin sighed, causing the crown on his head to crumble.

And when the two highest-ranking third princes finished their opinions, a quarrel soon broke out in the hall.

Some say that they want to mobilize reinforcements to rescue Guo Huai and Cao Hong, and some say that they want to mobilize reinforcements to garrison Guanzhong, but you "talents" just don't say where the reinforcements come from.

This kind of advice is more just the subconscious mouth of the great Wei Xianliang in order to relieve the panic in his heart.

Looking down from Cao Pi's gaze, he saw that the virtuous people he relied on in the past, and the famous people who everyone admired in the world in the past, were like stupid donkeys at the foot of the mountain when Mount Tai was about to collapse.

How can there be half solemnity and wisdom?

Seeing this scene, Cao Pi only felt more and more pain in his chest.

It hurt so much that Cao Pi's thoughts began to blur.

At this moment, Cao Pi instead recalled the content of the Northern Expedition.

An idea suddenly popped up in his mind: Great Wei has always regarded other countries as fish and meat, and now it is Da Wei's turn to fish and meat?

After realizing this, Cao Pi directly spit out another mouthful of blood, and this time he couldn't hold it anymore and fell directly towards the throne on the side.

Before Cao Pi was completely unconscious, he saw the ministers of the forbidden army who could no longer stop running towards him, and he also saw Cao Rong.

Then he fainted completely.
