Chang'an Palace.

"My good uncle, if it weren't for you, would I be this landless emperor!" Cao Rui looked at Cao Zhen, who was kneeling under His Royal Highness, and said angrily, "When the emperor was here, you were a famous general who opened up the Western Regions, why can't you even see the sound of attacking the West today!" And what about Xiahou Mao? Where is he? ”

Cao Zhen knelt down and said: "The old minister is incompetent, then Xiahou Nan fled to Nan'an in the starry night, how did he know that he encountered a team of invulnerable armored cavalry and was arrested." ”

"My Yongliang Governor has become a prisoner! What are you people for? And didn't that Zhang He say that the street pavilion can be broken in three days? Why did it take more than ten days? ”

Cao Zhen just wanted to speak, but saw a herald walking in quickly.

"Report! Your Majesty, Sima Yi, the Governor of Jingzhou, was ambushed in Lieliu City! The whole army has returned safely to Chang'an. ”

Cao Rui obviously put away his temper just now at this time, and sighed long: "Zhuge Liang is Zhuge Liang, the gods and ghosts use soldiers just like this, being in the street pavilion, you can also mobilize a stable ambush army, that's it, now the suspicious soldiers in Jigu have seen through, this street pavilion Longcheng can't be attacked for a long time, what other suggestions do you have?" ”

Cao Zhen arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, now that Liangzhou has been lost, Chencang City is the top priority, once Chencang is lost again, then Chang'an will be in danger, and now General Zhang He has 100,000 troops stationed in Chencang, Zhuge Liang should not be able to take it for a while, and please Your Majesty also drive Luoyang, not in person." ”

Cao Rui didn't bother to pay attention to Cao Zhen, but said, "Go and call Sima Yi." ”

Sima Yi walked into the palace step by step, bowed his head, and knelt with Cao Zhen: "Your Majesty, summon Weichen to come, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"Sima Dududu's capture and beheading of Meng Da is a great achievement, and now I want to ask you, now that Li Xian has expelled Longdao, Yongliang has been lost, how should our army plan next?" Cao Rui asked.

When Sima Yi heard this, he quickly glanced at Cao Zhen, who was looking at him indignantly, and then he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is the governor of Jingzhou, right.... If you are not familiar with the Yongliang military, please let the general decide. ”

"I want you to say it!" Cao Rui shouted.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Zhuge Liang took the three counties lightly, and cut off the Longdao, the current army is in full swing, our army can stick to Chencang, and then send troops from Chencang, order a general to go out of the Chencang crossing, clamp the Jieting defenders, and the other army will detour to Xicheng to cut off the retreat of the Shu army, and then order a general to take the army to capture stability, so that the three counties can be restored."

Cao Rui listened, nodded, then frowned, and asked, "Don't you don't understand Yongliang military?" ”

"Wechen is terrified!" Sima Yi hurriedly bowed his head and said.

.......

Longcheng camp.

After Li Xian said goodbye to his father, he stood under the banner of the mainstay, and for a time countless pride rose spontaneously, looking at the neatly lined up rattan armor generals, Li Xian pulled out the sword at his waist, and shouted loudly: "Restore the Central Plains!" ”

"Conquer the Central Plains!"

The cries of these soldiers circled back and forth between the two mountains of the street pavilion, and could not be dispersed for a long time......

Later generations of Chen Shou Three Kingdoms recorded: "Zhengdong general Li Xian blocked Zhang He in the street pavilion, the tiger step Yongliang, invincible, this battle is called the battle of the Longdao." There is also a novelist surnamed Luo in later generations, who wrote: "Zhang He was ambushed in the street pavilion, remembering that he was the friendship of his uncle, and he explained it, this time he called out, the prince beat the drum and fought the street pavilion, and Li Hanxing explained Zhang Junyi!" ”

.....

And said that Li Xian's troops had rested in Longcheng for three days, listened to Zhuge Liang's dispatch, returned to Nan'an, and ordered someone to escort Xiahou Nan back to Chengdu, the front foot just arrived in Nan'an, and the holy decree on the back foot arrived, and the meaning of the holy decree was probably to set up the Nan'an Governor's Mansion, and Li Xian was responsible for the affairs in Nan'an City, and no longer asked.

Li Xian was about to receive the order, but the person who delivered the order suddenly stopped again and said, "General, don't panic, Your Majesty has something to ask you." ”

Li Xian hurriedly knelt down: "Please let me know." ”

"Your Majesty asked me to ask the general, the general's ambition." The herald paused.

Li Xian bowed his head and replied: "The minister's ambition in this life is to support the Han family, and the minister is willing to assure His Majesty that all the sun and moon shine and the rivers go are all Han land, and if you offend my strong man, although far away, you will be punished!" ”

The messenger nodded, immediately handed over the decree to Li Xian, turned his head and said, "Please don't forget Your Majesty's grace today." ”

"Chen will never dare to forget!" Li Xian knelt down to send the messenger and waited for him to leave completely, then he got up and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Tian Dali arched his hand and asked, "General, why are you sighing?" ”

Li Xian's heart moved slightly, and he didn't speak, but said: "Nothing, you captured Xiahou Nan alive, it's a real achievement, so I'll give you fifty jars of wine rewarded by His Majesty." ”

At this moment, Tian Dali hurriedly waved his hand: "The general can't do it, I can't drink these days." ”

Gong Jie was also curious for a while: "It's strange, Dali, don't you usually like to drink the most?" ”

How do you know that Tian Dali's face turned red at this moment: "I can't hide it, two, my family is happy, I can't smell the wine on my body, and I want to vomit when I smell it." ”

Li Xiandu's eyes widened: "When did you become a parent?" ”

"The day after the lord set out on the expedition, the county guard insisted on marrying his daughter to me, saying that he would rely on me in the future, but I couldn't refuse, so I agreed." The more Tian Dali spoke, the redder his face became, such a big and strong general was ashamed like a girl for a while.

"Okay, you Tian Dali, we are working hard in the front, and you are enjoying the happiness in the back." Gong Jie pretended to be angry for a while.

Na Tian Dali also knew that it was a joke, so he just laughed.

Li Xian also put away his smile and raised his hand to stop: "Okay, by the way, what about Dr. Chen?" ”

Tian Dali then arched his hand and said: "General, then Dr. Chen will start practicing horse riding when he arrives in this city." I accidentally fell and injured myself yesterday, and I will lie down in my camp to recuperate. ”

Li Xian nodded: "By the way, when it comes to horses, Ben Jiang thought of one thing, have you noticed that the stables in this Nan'an city are almost more than the number of horses in the three counties of Shangnanzhong." ”

The second general nodded, and then asked in unison, "Could it be that General Fei still wants to form a cavalry?" ”

Li Xian nodded and said: "Now that the Great Wei Tiger is in the north, it is famous for its cavalry, if it can be governed by its own way, it will be a very happy thing, I don't know if the two of you have any ideas." ”

Gong Jie waved his hand when he heard this: "General, I have always only been in charge of the archer troops, as for this cavalry, I really have no experience, why don't you let General Tian bring another one?" ”

Li Xian shook his head again and said: "The vigorous army establishment is obviously to be added, but what we need more now is the support of the local scholars in Liangzhou, so that there can be more military horses and talents. ”

Tian Dali arched his hand and said: "General, if you talk about the Shi clan, I know one, I often hear my father-in-law talk about it these days, saying that there is a Liang brother in Liangzhou, the big one is called Liang Xu, and the small one is called Liang Qian, all of them are the best figures in Liangzhou, could it be that the general wants to invite them to Nan'an?" ’

These two people, Li Xian hesitated a little in his heart, because no matter what historical materials they were, there is indeed very little information about these two people, and he has never known what kind of characters these two people are from the history books.

"Then let's do it, Gong Jie, you will set up a banquet in Nan'an today, and invite all the celebrities in Nan'an City, and I will see who is willing to give face, and who is not willing to give face." Li Xian gently placed the teacup in his hand on the table.

"Yes, the last general will prepare." Gong Jie bowed out of the camp gate.

"You can go down too, by the way, if you don't drink, go get a few Shu brocades and make some clothes for your wife." Li Xian looked at Tian Dali and said.

Wait for Tian Dali to retreat, although this Nan'an Governor is an honor that has never been had, but this place is really a big head, there is almost no talent that can be used at this moment, even if the two brothers of Liang Xu and Liang Qian are really here, he doesn't know if these two people can believe it, the most famous in Liangzhou during this period is Jiang Wei, who has been taken by Zhuge Liang, and it is even more difficult to find talents at this time, when he is having a headache, he sees a familiar name from the list of prisoners: 'Guo Xiu'

Li Xian was a little confused, although this person had never seen it, but why was the name so familiar, it must have appeared somewhere, and he searched hard in his mind until he had a flash of inspiration and took the case: "I know, it is Fei Yi who was assassinated by this cub!" Without waiting for the left and right reactions, Li Xian immediately asked Guo Xiu to bring him up.

"Guo Xiu! Ben will ask you, your Guo family has always been a loyal minister of Wei, but now you have become a prisoner, are you willing? Li Xian asked.

Guo Xiu was stunned at first, looking for this situation, he usually asks if he is willing to surrender first, why not ask himself if he is willing to surrender? He hesitated: "The sin will be.... willingly..."

Li Xian sneered: "You are unwilling, and you are very hesitant. ’

Guo Xiu then adjusted his originally rapid breathing and said, "That general, I... Not reconciled? The general is the mainstay of the Han Dynasty, and I have nothing to say when I become a prisoner of the general. ”

"No, you have words, and a lot of words, Guo Xiu, in fact, what do you think in your heart, do you think General Ben doesn't know? You think that you have become a captive anyway, and when the time comes, you will pretend to surrender, and wait for the opportunity to create turmoil in our country in the future, the bigger the better, and it can be regarded as serving the country, yes or no! Li Xian asked sharply.

Guo Xiu was stunned at first, and then collapsed to the ground, as if the secrets of his body were about to be seen through, he still said with a strong spirit: "Will.... Checkmate.... I am already a prisoner, how can I cause turmoil? ”

Li Xian sneered, a punch flew out, hitting Guo Xiu's abdomen straight on, a shiny dagger slipped out of the prison uniform, and hurriedly stepped forward to kick the dagger away, and quickly pressed Guo Xiu.

"How would you know! I have a dagger, I, Guo Xiusheng, am a person of Great Wei, and I am a ghost of Great Wei when I die! Guo Xiu said, and slammed into the long sword on his neck, at this time it was too late to make another move, Li Xian still wanted to persuade him to surrender, but this person was too strong, and he had already died in the Nan'an Governor's Mansion.

"General, there are words on the dagger, and it is written by Jiang Wei...."

"Shut up! No one is allowed to spread this today, and once it is said, it will be cut immediately! Li Xian scolded.

Only then did he remain silent, and hurriedly cleaned up the bloodstains in the governor's mansion, Li Xian naturally put away the dagger by himself and went to the barracks.
