"Your Majesty... Is the first emperor already dead? ”

In the eldest son city of Shangdang County, Zhuge Liang looked at Elk Wei who had sent him a message in front of him, and his expression was a little lonely, but he didn't react much.

Only the people who have been with Zhuge Liang for a long time can see what the real heaviness is from this silent expression.

"Before the death of the first emperor, he ordered the crown prince to ascend the throne to inherit the throne.

Now Your Majesty has issued an order, please open the mansion of the Prime Minister...."

Many privileges were sent to Zhuge Liang, in exchange for Zhuge Liang's calm promise and gratitude.

If it weren't for Elkwei, he would have followed Zhuge Liang on the battlefield for many years and would know Zhuge Kongming's character.

But if you change a young person, you will feel worried about the future of the big man at this time.

But at this time, Zhuge Kongming didn't care about what they thought in their hearts, and held the will of Chang'an in his hands.

On the face that was extremely calm, the eyes became deeper and deeper.

"The first emperor is funeral, Your Majesty ascends the throne, and no one can preside over this court.

As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Liang must not still be outside with troops at this time.

At this time, since Wang Jun had persuaded Tuoba Liwei to invade Yanmen, and His Majesty had also seized the land of Jiangdong, this battle could be regarded as a bit of gain.

In that case, then this war is over, don't continue! ”

After Zhuge Kongming finished speaking, he immediately began to order Jiang Wei, Hu Zun, Ma Chao and others on the Youzhou battlefield to evacuate slowly.

At the same time, let Elfang pass the news to Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and others in the land of Liaodong, and let them withdraw to Liaodong and continue to guard against it.

Don't let Cao Zhen take advantage of anything.

This series of orders made many people in this hall change their faces drastically.

Not to mention anything else, even Elway, who had just arrived, couldn't help but hurriedly stand up at this time.

"Prime Minister can't!" Then Elk Wei looked at Zhuge Liang who turned around and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, but he still stubbornly continued.

"Now, although we have taken the land of Jiangdong, there are also prime ministers and Zhou Yuanzhi and others who have been laid out for many years.

But this is really not a good time to withdraw troops!

In this battle, we successively dispatched troops from Yongliang, Jingxiangjiaozhou, Guanzhong and other places.

The amount of food and grass consumed every day is terrifying.

Under such consumption, we still occupy the initiative, as long as we continue, Cao Wei will definitely be the first to hold on.

This is the best gift that the Prime Minister can give to His Majesty.

But if we evacuate now, then Cao Wei will breathe a sigh of relief, and not only will he reorganize the Hebei defense line.

It will directly wrap the land of Liaodong and Qingxu.

When that time comes, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, and Pang Tongjun will be in danger.

We can't wait for that....."

Although Elk Wei is indeed a lot away from the word famous general in terms of military strategy, after all, he has followed the great man Liu Xie for many years.

It is said that when he was in Xuzhou, the Elk family completely threw himself into Liu Bei, and at that time, he Elk Wei was responsible for guarding Liu Bei's safety.

But later, because of the appearance of Liu Xie, Liu Bei was under Liu Xie's command as a whole, and at that time Liu Bei did not think of betraying Liu Xie to dominate the world.

So Elway also joined Liu Xie's command at this time and became Liu Xie's guard general!

Even if there was Hao Zhao as the commander of the personal guard later, and Zhao Yun was briefly in charge of internal affairs, his status as Elk Wei has not changed.

After so many years of fighting, he has more or less a lot of experience.

Elk Wei understood the thoughts of the former emperor very well, as his most relied on confidant, Prime Minister Zhuge should see off the first emperor, but until the last moment, he didn't think about recalling the prime minister.

He only asked once, Kong Ming should be back soon, but he didn't give any orders....

It is because, in the heart of the former emperor, this world is far more important than himself.

But... But now the prime minister is going to evacuate at this time...

"Prime Minister, think twice!"

"Liang has no intention of fighting now, and he must return to Chang'an..."

"Prime Minister!" Elk Wei once again stood in front of Zhuge Liang, "Your Majesty has an order, and all the military forces inside and outside the Han Dynasty will be handed over to the prime minister to be responsible."

I only hope that the prime minister will put state affairs first..."

"Ryo thanks Your Majesty for your trust, but... Now that Liang has made up his mind, you don't have to stop it! ”

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he waved his hand directly, and Yang Yi and Deng Zhi, who were transferred to his side at this time, immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Even if Elk Wei is fighting for half his life, his bravery does not dare to be used in front of Zhuge Liang at this time.

In the end, he looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him, who was constantly giving orders to start evacuating, and he could only stomp his feet and twist his head away.

"Now I'm waiting to evacuate... I don't know what to do in the future!

And the news of the death of the first emperor has now spread, which... This... I just hope that Cao Zidan will not lead troops to pursue! ”

With Zhuge Liang's order, the various departments of Youzhou began to slowly evacuate, and many generals who stayed at Yanmen Pass and Bingzhou also began to resist the last.

to prevent that Xianbei from taking advantage of the void again.

The Xiongnu tribes who surrendered to the Han Dynasty even sent troops and horses to help in the war, and even Zhang Yan in the Taihang Mountains secretly took his soldiers out to sneak attack a few times.

It can be regarded as selling a good one for Zhuge Kongming, and at the same time, it will directly exterminate those Xianbei who cross the line and want to bypass Taihang.

Told them whose territory it was.

And when Li Xie died, and at the same time, when the news of Zhuge Liang's withdrawal was widely spread, the Luoyang court, which was controlled by the Cao family, could be described as jubilant.

Only Liu He, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who is also the emperor of the Han Dynasty and is dying, has a trace of weirdness and loneliness.

It seems like losing something important.

Even if he didn't have any communication with that great man....

As for the others, it was rejoicing.

Today's Luoyang court has long been controlled by the Cao family, and all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have been regarded as Cao people.

They feel.... This is simply God helping them Cao's family, and Liu Xie, who gave them a headache at such a critical time, is finally dead.

This allowed them to finally take a breath, and then they could reorganize their defenses, especially Jianghuai Qingxu's defenses.

Just in case Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, who had just captured Jiangdong, did something irrational again.

There are even people who have put forward such a statement.

Although Liu Xie seems to be extremely relieved of Zhuge Liang, then Liu Feng is even more like a master and a father, but this Zhuge Kongming is an outsider after all.

Now that he is not only a great minister, but also has a large army, how can Liu Feng be assured that he has just ascended the throne.

must be jealous of him.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang understood this, so he hurriedly led the troops back, one of which was to stabilize his position.

The second is to avoid chaos in the rear, so that you can smoothly run the court..."

When these things like "" appeared, there were really many people who nodded their heads again and again.

Because in their eyes, this is what is possible in accordance with human nature.

Even if they couldn't find any evidence, but... That's human nature!

Of course, this is only the opinion of some people, and there are still some people in this Cao Wei who began to sweat coldly when they saw the war report of this annexed state.

"It's broken, it's broken... Then Cao Zidan don't attack, don't attack...

This is what he Zhuge Kongming wants to see off Liu Xie!

Cao Zidan... If you go out, you'll be completely dead, and my Cao clan will be..."

In the Yingchuan camp in Yuzhou, the camp began to shrink since the start of the war, and Xu Shu was strictly guarded against Sima Yi, who refused to enter the army.

At this time, his face became panicked, looking at the battle report in his hand, and then looking at the map on the side, his lips couldn't help but tremble.

"Sit in the north and attack the south, and the south will cover the north.... Fiction and reality, this is the real reality and reality! ”

Sima Yi's chatter surprised Sima Shi and Sima Wang, two of his own sons and nephews.

But when the two wanted to ask, Sima Yi waved his hand again and again, not only didn't want to say more, but even asked them to retreat directly.

Looking at Sima Yi, who left himself alone in the camp, the two cousins of the Sima family also looked at each other.

At one point, I was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

On the other hand, Cao Zhen naturally couldn't hear Sima Yi's words.

He just took sides of the scouts in front of him again.

"That little emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty is really dead?"

"Back to the general, the little emperor Liu Xie has now confirmed that he died of illness and is in the Weiyang Palace, this news is conclusive!

And His Majesty and the Prime Minister have also sent envoys to mourn. ”

The scout repeated the news that had been said many times by this time.

Then there was a satisfying laugh.

"The emperor of Chang'an, Lao'er, is dead, and he is finally dead.... Hahahaha.... God help me Cao!

Before, Wang Jun also pulled a new one and said that this state is turbulent, let me be careful and be careful.

Now it seems that this must be that Zhuge Kongming is worried that he will be jealous of Liu Feng when he leads the troops outside.

That's why they want to withdraw their troops and return.

Case... How can we get him back safely? ”

Cao Zhen's side also immediately "figured it out" a lot, and then after getting Wang Jun's news, he also issued an order at the same time.

The Youzhou army all attacked, and immediately dragged Ma Chao and Ma Dai and others.

Taking advantage of Zhuge Liang's failure to help him this time, he must turn defeat into victory and completely eat this Northern Expedition army into his stomach.

Even if they can't eat, they will be completely beaten, and then counterattack Liaodong and kill the little Guan Zhang who is endlessly causing trouble for them.... And what phoenix chicks Pang Tong in the land of Qingxu.

Cao Zhen's idea was very good, and the first half of the plan went very smoothly.

Wang Jun took Tuoba Liwei and nearly 100,000 Xianbei people to control the strings, and compared them to the south of the state!

forced Jufu and others, who were still fighting against Zhang He under Keiguan, to quickly return to help, and also forced Bingzhou to stop evacuating.

Wang Tao and Yin Pavilion were lost one after another, and then the army directly rushed over and fought with the Han army.

The reinforcement army of Ma Chao and others was finally completely suppressed in Juyang County, a county on the border between the Yanmen Army and Dai County.

Looking at this situation, if the Han army no longer uses the strategy of gecko tail breaking, I am afraid that the Northern Expedition army in Hebei will not want to get out.

After their morale is low, they may even be completely defeated by Cao Zhen, and by that time they will really have nothing to lose.

Cao Zhen's heart can be said to be more and more excited, and even asked Zhang He to send an order to find a way to march into Hedong, take this opportunity to take back Hedong County, cut off the two paths of merging states, and then he will recover even the merger of states!

However, it has not been a few days since Cao Zhen's order was issued, and it is not clear whether Zhang He has received the order.

But on the other side, the battle report has already appeared.

"Yanmen Pass is defeated!"

Jiang Wei and the army that were supposed to withdraw to the land of Hangu and Tongguan suddenly changed direction, and Wu Yi as the main general did not know when they arrived at Yanmen Pass.

The Yanmen Pass guard pretended to be unfavorable to Xiang Pet, and let Wang Jun and others break through the pass, but they were besieged by Wu Yi and Ma Yan, Pang Shu, Suo Zhan and others in the Yanmen Pass.

And in the rear, there are also 3,000 Qiang Hu cavalry led by Tian Yuqin.

In this battle, Wang Jun was defeated, and the Xianbei commander Tuoba Liwei fled almost alone, more than half of the 100,000 people who controlled the strings were killed and wounded, and the rest surrendered!

The main general Wang Jun is nowhere to be found! ”

The place of Yanmen Pass is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and its terrain is narrow and not easy to pass, which is why Yanmen Pass is stationed in the northern Xinjiang.

And Wang Jun led the Xianbei people to storm the land of Yanmen, and finally encountered an ambush at Yanmen Pass, which was a fatal blow to them!

When Cao Zhen got the news, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he was angry with Wang Jun's incompetence, which ruined his great plan!

followed by panic, because although he had been staring at Ma Chao and Ma Dai and the others, Tian Yu's banner was still within his sight.

The Qianghu cavalry has also been fighting with him.

These 3,000 horsemen were evacuated in advance.... Of course, this is possible, but if the ambush is prepared in advance.

Then this big war can even be said to be a trap that has been prepared for a long time.

"Withdraw troops... Withdraw your troops quickly! ”

When Cao Zhen thought of this, he didn't dare to have any more hesitation, and no matter what kind of idea and situation Ma Chao and the others had now, Cao Zhen immediately began to withdraw his troops.

But this time, it wasn't Cao Zhen who could leave if he wanted to.

The same place, the same style of play, but this time the offensive and defensive sides changed instantly.

Ma Chao and Jiang Wei are both brave and martial arts, plus they have sufficient experience, one is both humanistic and martial, and they are disciples of the prime minister.

Now the two have begun to converge with their Ali, directly turning the soldiers and horses into a huge pincer, and clamping Cao Zhen's army so that he can't move.

also forced Cao Zhen, if he didn't use the gecko's tail to break his tail, then his army really didn't want to stay.

Under such a frantic attack of the army, Cao Zhen had to choose to leave the general under his command, Gong Zun...

But Gong Zun's ability was too far from Ma Chao and Jiang Wei, and he was directly beheaded by Ma Chao without delaying.

This time, in order to be able to withdraw to Youzhou, Cao Zhen could only choose to leave the elderly Xinbi behind.

With Xin Bi as the main general, Zhang Te as the deputy general, and tens of thousands of Youzhou elites, this barely dragged Ma to surpass Jiang Wei's footsteps.

But then the news... made Cao Zhen's heart tremble even more.

Wang Jun, who had disappeared, suddenly appeared outside the Flying Fox Path, and the guard thought that he had escaped here, so he directly led people to open the Flying Fox Trail Dock Fort.

As a result, Wang Jun had already rebelled, and led the Han general Fu Wei and his son to directly capture the Flying Fox Mouth, and now the army gathered by Zhuge Liang has rushed into Jizhou!

The soldiers went down to Laiyuan County and Wei County, and the army continued to enter, and Jizhou asked for help..."

"Newspaper~"

After receiving the news, General Zhang He of our army immediately inquired about the news in Hedong, and after finding that Hedong Jufu and others had evacuated, he led his troops to attack.

As a result, the Han general Jiang Wei suddenly changed the direction of the army and went up the Yellow River, and successfully attacked Hanoi County, and the army broke through the Kei Pass and besieged General Zhang He in the east of the river.

Ju Fu and others turned over and attacked, and now General Zhang He has been besieged! ”

"Report!"

"Hangu Pass Emergency!"

General Deng Ai learned that Jiguan was lost, and knew that the rescue was too late, so he attacked the direction of Hangu Pass and Tongguan according to General Wang Ling's strategy.

As a result, Hanya Seki.... was defeated head-on by the enemy general Chen Zhi and more than 1,000 Bai Yu soldiers!

Tens of thousands of elites could not attack, the three thousand halberds were all annihilated, and the main general Deng Ai was evacuated... The soldiers in the city were completely defeated and slaughtered by the white soldiers, and Hangu was defeated..."

The successive battle reports made it seem as if one sledgehammer after another bombarded Cao Zhen's heart.

He didn't know if Luoyang had also gotten the news at this time, and of course he didn't know what Cao Ang of Luoyang would think after knowing this.

But all he could think of was....

"Sure enough, it's a trap.... Zhuge Kongming never wanted to withdraw his troops, this was to lure the enemy deeper..."

"He, Zhuge Kongming, dare to use Liu Xuande's life as bait to lure the enemy into going deeper!"

At this time, Cao Zhen couldn't hold back the grief and indignation in his heart and began to scold angrily.

At the same time, he urged the army to continue to evacuate again and again, so at this time, Cao Zhen has already discovered you, and what Zhuge Liang is going to do next.

I'm afraid that they will start from Jizhou, directly attack in an all-out way, and even strangle their army in this Youzhou...

Sure enough, with the appearance of a sealed war report, the eight paths of Bingzhou have become a complete joke because of the loss of the flying fox mouth.

The army under Zhuge Liang began to attack continuously, and the eight paths of the military capital, Puyin, Feihu, Jingcheng, Fukou, Baicheng, Taihang, and Yiguan were lost or evacuated one after another.

Even the pot is barely maintained.

If it weren't for the fact that behind the Huguan was the Yecheng, I'm afraid the Huguan would not be able to hold it now.

Wu Qiujian and others are now even having difficulty protecting themselves.

And Jiang Wei, who broke through Jiguan, did not immediately launch an encirclement and suppression of Zhang He, but let Jufu and others drag Zhang He.

He himself led people to sweep through the entire county of Hanoi, completely opening the second way to attack Hebei.

Chen Shuzhi of Hangu Pass, one person and one army just stood in front of everyone's road.

Fa Zheng has already gone, but before Fa Zheng died, he had already set up all the ways to fight this battle.

Rather than consuming constantly, it's better to do it all at once!

"What Zhuge Kongming wants is to use the remaining powerful naval army in Jiangdong to continuously attack the land of Qingxu and the waters of Jianghuai from the south to the north.

Uniting Wu Ban and Pang Tong, supplemented by Xu Shu to complete the north-south cut, and finally let Cao's army stay in this area of Hebei for a long time.

But after all, Hebei has a lot of land and resources, and Cao's is like a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen.

If this is the case, there will inevitably be more variables in the future.

It's better to sit in the north and look at the south, and then stay in the south and cover the north, break Hebei first, and then fight the Central Plains! ”

Fa Zheng's idea before his death was to use Zhuge Liang to attract the attention of the Cao army, and after discussing with Zhuge Liang, it was determined that Liu Feng was the best candidate to restrain Lu Xun.

handed over Cao Ren to Jiangdong's remnants, and then let Liu Feng, who was still the crown prince at the time, drag Lu Xun's footsteps.

In the end, Wei Yan was used to destroy Cao Ren's subordinates, and finally completed the situation in Jiangdong.

Here, it is also Zhuge Liang's plan.

But later, Xu Shu rejected Zhuge Liang's idea of taking Yangzhou, Jiangdong as the frontier and breaking the situation with the sailor.

Instead, suspend all offensives, make an offensive situation in Jianghuai, and wait for the day of Liu Xie's death!

Liu Xie died and the new emperor ascended the throne, at this time, if it was a Han minister, he actually had an idea in his heart.

That is, with the character of the prince, he is afraid that he is too lazy to do anything to seize power, and Zhuge Liang also has no idea of wanting to hold power.

But in the hearts of the Cao people who are constantly dividing interests to maintain the situation, they will not be like this.

The replacement of the old and the new, this is the beginning of a division of interests.

And looking at this matter from the Luoyang court controlled by the Cao family, it is reasonable for Zhuge Liang to withdraw his troops.

And Zhuge Liang can also take advantage of this matter to directly make a move to withdraw the army, and let the army gather in a grand manner, and then look for an opportunity to ambush Cao Zhen's army, or... Invade the land of Jizhou.

But to do that, you need something else....

"Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Dong Cao Peng, Wang Jun, meet the Prime Minister!

Today's incident, Wang Junxing has persuaded the two counties of Changshan County and Zhongshan County to surrender without dishonoring his life! ”

Now in front of Zhuge Kongming, there is another possible disciple of Zhuge Kongming, and he is also the most favored confidant of Cao Zhen in the past, Wang Jun!

And he appeared in front of Zhuge Kongming, and at the same time made such a natural salute to Zhuge Kongming.

If Cao Zhen saw it, I'm afraid that many things that made him feel puzzled could now be explained.

It's a pity that even if Cao Zhen can really see all this, it doesn't mean anything.

The overall situation has been decided, and he Cao Zhen is already powerless.

The only thing that can be done may be to persist among the Cao clan.

As for more .....

Ay!

A helpless sigh is enough to prove everything.

However, compared to Cao Zhen, who is sighing now, Zhuge Kongming on the other side is now in high spirits, and he sees his plan succeed step by step.

It was the work of countless people.

Now that it can finally be presented, this heart is naturally very refreshing!
