"Incompetent!!"

"How incompetent?!"

Huang Hao was really angry at the moment, he looked at Yan Yu in front of him, and his saliva almost sprayed on the other party's face.

Originally, he supported the dispatch of troops this time, and specially ordered Yan Yu to send troops, in order to promote his own people.

Who would have thought that this guy had never even arrived in Jingzhou, but he was defeated by Cao Thief's army, and fled back to Yong'an in embarrassment, and now he was called to Chengdu by the emperor to ask for his guilt.

After Yan Yu arrived in Chengdu, he first found Huang Hao.

Huang Hao gritted his teeth, "You have 20,000 people in Yong'an, and you were easily broken by thieves?!" ”

"Then Jiang Wei can lead 20,000 people out for a year and a half, why are you so fast?! It's been less than a month! ”

Huang Hao is still venting his dissatisfaction.

Yan Yu was speechless about this.

People are leading 20,000 people to the battle, but I only have 20,000 people in the city to guard it, do I dare to empty Yong'an and take 20,000 people to the battle?!

If it is attacked by the enemy, then it is not me who is looking for you in Chengdu now, it is the special Wei army!

Moreover, this is not a good time to attack at all, Jingzhou gathered nearly 100,000 Cao troops, although the number of Wu troops is also quite a lot, but because of domestic affairs, there is no combat effectiveness at all, at this time the temple does not give a soldier, so take the original men and horses to crusade against the Cao army.

How do you change the tide of battle?

But Yan Yu didn't explain much.

He just said calmly: "It was my incompetence that caused this defeat." ”

Huang Hao was a little disappointed, but he also began to calm down, and Chen Hao's health was getting worse and worse.

A few days ago, the emperor even sent a royal physician to see him.

Huang Hao's relationship with Chen Qi is very good, and Chen Qi is one of the few ministers who is willing to have a good relationship with him.

However, Huang Hao was still looking forward to Chen Yi being on the road earlier.

The emperor and Jiang Wei are not close, they need Chen Qi as an intermediary to ease the relationship between the two of them, and only in the presence of Chen Wei can the emperor listen to Jiang Wei's table.

Not only Jiang Wei, but in the entire temple, there are not many ministers who can get the emperor's trust and love, and there is only such a Chen Qi.

If he is gone, the emperor is afraid that he will no longer trust the rest of the ministers, then he can jump up.

Huang Hao has a very clear understanding of this.

When the emperor began to lose trust in his ministers, it was the time for the eunuchs to rise and take power.

Huang Hao also fully absorbed the experience of the eunuchs of the Later Han Dynasty.

He needs warlike generals to become his henchmen, so that he can compete with the generals, and he can not covet military power, but he must not have military power in his hands.

Yan Yu is the target of his focus.

Although this time things did not go very smoothly, Huang Hao still calmed down, when the generals today, there are not many people who are willing to get close to him, and he can't drive this person to the other side.

He opened his mouth and said, "General Yan, I originally wanted you to replace Jiang Wei and become the Great Han General. ”

"This time, the temple decided to send troops, and I recommended you to seek a chance to make meritorious contributions."

"I didn't expect it to be such a consequence."

Yan Yu was still very calm, "It's all because of my fault. ”

Huang Hao shook his head, "You don't have to be like this, don't worry, Your Majesty is not a cruel king, as long as I explain it to him, he won't blame you, maybe he will reward you, but you have to remember that after seeing Your Majesty, don't be like this again." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't like such a person, then Jiang Wei lost the battle, and he didn't know how to ask His Majesty for forgiveness, and he asked His Majesty to cure his crimes, did he want His Majesty to beg for forgiveness?!"

"Such a person is destined not to be loved by His Majesty!"

Huang Hao talked about his experience, Yan Yu seemed to understand something, and then nodded.

Huang Hao asked him to prepare for entering the palace, and then hurriedly got into the carriage and went to Liu Chan's side.

In the past few days, Liu Chan has been in a very bad mood.

After learning of the defeat at the front, he immediately sent the news to Hanzhong, but he was afraid that Jiang Wei had not yet learned about the situation here.

Since Fei Yi's death, there have been more and more troublesome things.

Especially in the past two years, everything has not gone well, which has made him anxious, and he doesn't know why, how did things become so complicated?

The ministers in the temple are a group of incompetent people.

The generals who fought were also mediocre people who could not win.

The armor soldiers refused to fight hard, and the generals were cowardly and cowardly.

Liu Chan frowned, looking distressed.

At this time, a general came to him, and the person who came was not Huang Hao, but Xiahou Ba.

There were not many generals in Shu, and the number of top commanders was a little behind Cao Wei and the Wu State in the past.

Of course, because of the efforts of Shu for many years, they have surpassed Wu recently, and they are only weaker than Wei, and they are no longer weaker than Wu!

After Zhang Yi was captured alive, Xiahouba's status was improved again.

Of course, he is still not the same as Jiang Wei who has proven himself to be a general.

What's more, now that Cao Wei's power is back in the hands of the Cao family, this has become a bit complicated.

If the Sima family was still in power, he would be able to take people to attack Cao Wei with peace of mind, but now

When Liu Chan saw him coming, his attitude was very kind, and he smiled and asked him to sit aside, treating him with the same etiquette as he treated his elders.

Xiahouba's heart is even more complicated.

After the two sat down, Liu Chan asked: "This time the enemy has captured Jiangling and other places, and the ministers are very frightened, and they all feel that they can't take this matter lightly, what do you think?" ”

Xiahou Ba was silent for a moment before he replied: "Your Majesty, the ministers' worries are right, the enemy has captured Jiangling, and the places where we are stationed will increase in the future, and the armies in Yong'an and other places have not fought for many years, and they are different from the armies of Hanzhong. ”

"Besides, the roads in Yong'an and other places are much easier to walk than in Hanzhong, and if the enemy attacks from two places at the same time, it will be very disadvantageous to us."

Hearing this, Liu Chan suddenly couldn't sit still.

He asked uneasily, "What should I do then?" ”

Xiahou Ba was silent again.

To be honest, things have developed to the point where he really doesn't know what to do.

The gap in national strength has become bigger and bigger, although the road of Bashu is difficult to walk, and the checkpoints are solid, but no matter how strong the checkpoints are, they are not indestructible, if the enemy uses a large-scale army, sooner or later they can gnaw it down, and those consumption are completely within their acceptable range.

This is no longer a case that can be changed by manpower.

But Xiahouba can't say that.

His position in Shu is too embarrassing.

Especially after Cao Chao came to power.

He had no choice but to speak: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, there are still so many loyal and good people in the temple, and there are fierce generals in the local area."

Speaking of this, Liu Chan was very angry.

He said unhappily: "I heard that Cao Wei's little emperor is surrounded by many talents, including Zhong Hui, Chen Tai, Wang Chang and others, generals like Zhuge Dan, Deng Ai, and Biqiu Jian who lead troops to fight, and people like Lu Zhi, Wang Jing, and Xun Yi to govern internal affairs."

"Compared to him, there is no virtuous talent around me!"

"Why does all the great talents of the world belong to him?"

Liu Chan's eyes were full of unwillingness.

Xiahou Ba didn't dare to say anything more.

At this time, Huang Hao finally came to the palace, Liu Chan did not let Xiahouba leave, and Huang Hao also bowed very knowingly when he saw Xiahouba.

Huang Hao is not a fool, he will never set up an enemy for no reason.

Xiahou Ba did not have any conflict of interest with him, Liu Chan liked him very much, and Huang Hao couldn't go against him.

Huang Hao informed Liu Chan of the news of Yan Yu's arrival.

Liu Chan asked a little angrily, "This guy is finally here?!" ”

Huang Hao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this person is also loyal, I heard that he received an edict, for fear that Yong'an would be lost, so he took thousands of men and horses to the rescue alone, and then encountered Wang Ji's tens of thousands of troops, and the Wu people watched them fight, and did not come out to rescue, which led to a fiasco." ”

"He didn't take everyone out on the expedition because he was afraid that there would be an accident in Yong'an, which would not be conducive to Chengdu, so he only led a few thousand people to dare to fight against Wang Ji's main force, and he could retreat with his whole body, and the slave felt that this person should not be questioned."

Hearing Huang Hao's words, Liu Chan was a little surprised.

"Is that so?"

He looked directly at Xiahou Ba on the side, "General, is this the case?" ”

Xiahou Ba was stunned for a moment, and looked at Huang Hao on the side, "That's probably the case." ”

Liu Chan nodded, "If that's the case, then you can pardon his crimes." ”

"Well, let him come to me later, and I'll ask him what happened, and if that's the case, then he really shouldn't be asked."

"The general, why hasn't there been a reply yet?!"

Hearing Liu Chan's inquiry, Huang Hao began to give Jiang Wei eye medicine as usual.

"Your Majesty, the general is busy with state affairs, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find time to pay attention to these things, Your Majesty doesn't need to be in a hurry, and wait for him for a while, and when the general is done, he will naturally reply"

Hearing this, Liu Chan's face was extremely ugly.

Xiahou Ba sat on the side, watching this scene, his heart was extremely heavy.

It takes time for this correspondence to be exchanged, Jiang Wei is in Hanzhong, and this messenger can't fly.

But this Huang Hao is deeply loved by the emperor, and he provokes like this all day long.

If Chen Yi is really gone one day, wouldn't the emperor and the general have to turn their faces directly?

When Xiahou Ba thought of that scene, he seemed to see the demise of Shu Han.

But he didn't speak, there was no room for him to speak in this court, and perhaps, he might not be able to survive until that time.
