Seeing that Liu Chan personally inquired about this matter, Wei Yan's whole person became excited.

He was a man of few words, and it was difficult for the king to agree to his plan.

But if His Highness agrees, with his ability, I am afraid that I, Wei Yan, will have to establish immortal achievements!

"Did His Highness also approve of the last general's plan?"

Liu Chan nodded and shook his head again.

This appearance made Wei Yan confused.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

Liu Chan smiled slightly and said: "The Meridian Road is steep, it is difficult to use a large number of troops, besides, there is no Golden Bull Road, Bao Slope Road, etc. to attract the military strength of the Wei State, how can the Meridian surprise attack be successful?" ”

Wei Yan hurriedly said: "Although the meridian road is a lofty mountain, but the last general has already let people explore the road, and put supplies along the way, in the last general's opinion, out of three thousand soldiers, plus three thousand people carrying food, you can through the meridian road, surprise attack Chang'an, the Chang'an guard will see our army coming, will be frightened, abandon the city and flee." ”

Can 3,000 abandon the city and flee?

Do you really think that it is Liu Chan who guards Chang'an?

Hey?

How it feels like I'm scolding myself.

"This plan is too risky, and it needs to be cooperated by the frontal army, and it may be possible to succeed."

Seeing that Liu Chan was not beaten to death with a stick like Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan still had some hope in his heart.

"His Royal Highness will attack it head-on, and the last general will attack Chang'an, and he will be able to build an immortal feat!"

Wei Yan, this is a meritorious service!

Liu Chan shook his head slightly, and said: "Hanzhong has just improved, it is not suitable for a big war, I have ordered the guards of the three eastern counties to repair the roads of the three eastern counties, and when the road is completed, you can transfer grain, grass and soldiers from Jingzhou, and at that time, it is a good opportunity to attack Guanzhong." ”

"But Your Highness."

Wei Yanmian was unwilling.

He really wanted to improve.

"Now that Wei is in turmoil, I heard that Cao Zhang fled into Chang'an, Guanzhong is bound to be in turmoil, this Cheng sent troops to take advantage of the opportunity, missed this opportunity, and I don't know when the next time it will be."

Liu Chan shook his head again and said: "The general is bad, that yellow-bearded Cao Zhang has fled into the customs like a lost dog, just to survive, it is difficult to set off turmoil, and the people's hearts have long been dispersed. ”

If you want to swallow Chang'an, relying on thousands of people, it is absolutely impossible.

At least 100,000 people will be dispatched, and the entire Yizhou will be backed up to continuously deliver money and grain in order to succeed.

This is a war of national strength, and it cannot be completed by a surprise attack.

And the current Han China, what is worse is the national strength.

Compared to Wei at this time, he was like a malnourished child.

Liu Chan saw that Wei Yan's face was unwilling, he suddenly looked at Wei Yan and asked, "Does the general know that I can look at my face?" ”

Looks?

Wei Yan was stunned.

He knew that his Royal Highness would fight, but he didn't expect to see his face?

"Zhang Yu has the skill of dividing the weft, Zhou Qun has the skill of occupying the marquis, these two are the staff of my house, and they are also teaching me the ability to take care of the house."

Hearing this, Wei Yan no longer doubted him.

His Royal Highness doesn't say that he can read faces, even if he says that the dragon is rolling in Hanzhong, he will believe it!

Besides, even if he doesn't believe it, in order to flatter His Highness, he has to believe it.

His Highness is happy, His Highness is happy, for his Wei Yan's senses, won't this get better?

His future wealth is all pinned on His Royal Highness.

Therefore, Wei Yan looked at Liu Chan with a solemn face and saluted:

"Dare to ask His Highness for advice."

Liu Chan carefully looked at Wei Yan's complexion, and after a while, he said slowly: "The general has a black face and a white body, short feet and long hands, a dragon to devour tigers, a short face and long eyes, not smelly and fragrant, and few meat horns, all of them are noble." If a person has this appearance, those who seek fame and fame will have high official positions, and those who seek wealth and profit will also have the appearance of great wealth. ”

Honorable?

Wei Yan's face was overjoyed.

"But there are hidden dangers in this noble appearance."

Hidden trouble?

The people of this era believe very much in this art of weft and face-to-face.

Especially if the person who gave him a face was still His Royal Highness, did there be any other meaning behind this, which made Wei Yan look anxious for a while.

"Dare to ask His Highness for advice."

Seeing Wei Yan's set, Liu Chan said without hurrying: "Viewing the character of the person with his nose is good and evil, the nose shape is upright and shapely, straight and powerful, the nose is full, and the nostrils are large but not exposed, which is to be ambitious, principled and upright; If the nose is clearly crooked, and the philtrum is also crooked, and the heart is not right, and the person who behaves misbehaps, because of the evil nature of his deeds, there will be frequent calamities.

And the general's nose is obviously crooked, and the philtrum is also skewed."

Your Highness wants to say that I am a person with a bad heart?

Thump~

Wei Yan was frightened by Liu Chan's words and knelt down directly.

"The last general is loyal, the world knows, this heart can be learned, this love can be seen by the sun and the moon! I also hope that His Royal Highness will be enlightened! ”

Seeing that Wei Yan was about to cry out of his grievances, Liu Chan stepped forward to help Wei Yan up, and said with a smile: "The general's loyalty, Zen knows himself, and now he only knows the general's blessings and woes, not his character, but I want to ask the general, are you arrogant and arrogant, and think very highly of yourself?" ”

Arrogant and self-conscious?

Wei Yan was stunned.

"The end will not be!"

"Not yet?"

Liu Chan was noncommittal.

"Then why do people who know you well have a lot of criticism about you?"

As soon as Liu Chan said this, Wei Yan's face was flushed, but it was difficult to refute.

In the army, in the DPRK, his connections are indeed not good.

Arrogance, self-esteem, inadvertently, offended people.

Liu Chan looked at Wei Yan's appearance, and already had the answer in his heart.

He is now beating Wei Yan with the matter of face-to-face, hoping that he will not repeat the mistakes of later generations.

Another plane and plane.

As a general with outstanding military achievements, Wei Yan did not know how to be modest and cautious, but arrogant, and constantly complained when Zhuge Liang was alive, Zhuge Liang died He was even more arrogant, no one in his eyes, and Liu Chan was young, how could Zhuge Liang dare to hand over power to him in this case?

After Zhuge Liang died, he did not mourn, and Yang Yi ordered Fei Yi to figure out Wei Yan's intentions.

Wei Yan replied:

"Although the prime minister is dead, but there is still me, how can the world's major affairs be wasted because of the death of one person? Besides, who am I, Wei Yan, and how can I be at the mercy of Yang Yi and be a general after the break? ”

Not only did he not know Zhuge Liang's good intentions, but he disobeyed the orders of the imperial court, which would inevitably be treated as a rebellion.

Wei Yan's personality was too domineering, so much so that he offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all over again, and even the notoriety spread to Sun Quan of Wu State.

Sun Quan once said: Wei Yan erected the shepherd villain, although he tasted the benefit of barking in current affairs, but since he was already in charge, he was not lightly controlled. If there is no Zhuge Liang for a while, it will be a disaster.

Think about the difference in his reputation.

Throughout the ages, the fate of military generals who have made outstanding achievements and gained notoriety is generally not good, and Wei Yan is certainly no exception.

Wei Yan's disobedience to Yang Yi's orders can be understood as anger, but he should not have been angry after the army retreated slowly with Yang Yi, Wei Yan was furious day and night, rushing in front of Yang Yi's army, burning the pavilion road everywhere he walked, and leading the army to attack Yang Yi's army, which caused a big mistake and there was no room for recovery.

Yang Yi and Wei Yan both went to each other to say that the other party had rebelled, Liu Chan asked Dong Yun in the service and Shi Jiang Wan, the governor of the palace, who wanted to rebel, and Dong Jiang and Jiang both guaranteed that Yang Yi suspected Wei Yan, so Wei Yan had to die.

"Yan is not only good at raising soldiers, brave and fierce, but also has a high temperament, and he avoided it at that time."

"Wei Yan is brave and strategic, and salty and valuable. Look at its measures, follow its rules, and take the blame, all of them themselves. ”

So Wei Yan's fate has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang, he is to blame!

And he should be grateful to Zhuge Liang for always taking care of and tolerating him, when everyone said bad things about Wei Yan and hated him, it was Zhuge Liang who always reused him, allowing him to realize the value of life, give him the title of marquis, and embark on the pinnacle of life!

However, it is a pity that Zhuge Liang's tolerance for him did not make him humble and cautious, but even more arrogant and arrogant! You can't live if you do your own evil!

Liu Chan hoped that his words would have an effect on Wei Yan.

"Your Highness's meaning, the last general knows."

Wei Yan's face was gray, and although he stood up, his steps were trembling, and he looked a little disappointed.

"From today onwards, the general will no longer mention the sneak attack from the Meridian Road."

Liu Chan shook his head and said, "I think the general still doesn't understand, the Meridian Dao can sneak attack Chang'an, don't everyone else know?" Only the general knows? Or does the general think that everyone else is a fool, but the general is a smart person? ”

A series of questions stopped Wei Yan again.

"For officials, for generals, don't be arrogant. The Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion has made outstanding achievements, and he also respects talented and learned people, and the general's merits are compared to the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion? ”

Wei Yan has the title of Xiao Guan Gong, and he has always aimed at Guan Yu in his ordinary life.

This time, he was asked by Liu Chan, where did he dare to compare with his idol, and hurriedly said: "The last general is compared to the Hanshou Pavilion Marquis, just like the light of fireflies is compared to the bright moon, which is not worth mentioning." ”

"When the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion is still humble, you need to introspect even more, go back to read more, cultivate yourself, don't be impulsive, you will offend people invisibly, I want to reuse you in the future, but you are not in harmony with the sergeant of the army and the ministers of the court, how dare I use you?"

Wei Yan knew that this was the earnest teaching of His Royal Highness, and he admired it very much for a while.

"The last general will go to Wenshu, then Jiangdong Lu Mengshi should be impressed for three days, the last general is no worse than that Lu Meng, and naturally His Royal Highness can be impressed!"

"Good!"

Liu Chan patted Wei Yan's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "Then when the time comes, I will see the changes in the general." ”

Wei Yan nodded heavily and said, "Since you don't attack the Meridian Road, then please rest for the time being, and set off for Nanzheng tomorrow to review the affairs of Hanzhong." ”

Liu Chan shook his head and said, "It's not too late at this time, you might as well enter the Meridian Road and see the specific situation." ”

Enter the meridian road to see the specific situation?

Wei Yan was stunned.

"Didn't Your Highness say that you can't attack Chang'an by the Meridian Dao?"

Liu Chan looked at Wei Yan with a smile and said, "When did I say that I wouldn't attack?" It's just not time yet. ”

Hearing this, Wei Yan's face showed excitement.

"I'll take Your Highness to see it."

As he spoke, he led Liu Chan into the Longting Village, rode a war horse at the back gate of the camp, and headed towards the Meridian Road.

The group went ten miles inside, and then completely entered the meridian road.

The mountain roads in the Meridian Valley are steep and rugged, and the lofty mountains are like walls in front of them, forming an impregnable natural barrier. The winding mountain road and the rocky cliffs stand tall, and every step into it seems to be a test of life.

The steep ramps along the way, the pebbles cover the ground, and the stones under your feet slide from time to time. On both sides of the mountain road are bottomless canyons, like an abyss, which is about to erupt.

The mountain breeze whistled by, making people feel a chill.

Huge rocks, some as smooth as a mirror, others full of sharp edges and corners, blocking the way.

Even when Liu Chan saw it, he couldn't help but gasp.

"This place is dangerous, I'm afraid that if the Wei army sees it, it's hard to believe that the Han army will send troops from this place to attack Chang'an."

It's like the Han army didn't know that Deng Ai would take the Yinping Trail into Shu.

"It's because the mountain roads here are difficult to walk, and the last general thinks that it is possible to sneak attack Chang'an."

What Wei Jun felt was impossible, which was precisely the greatest opportunity for his Han army.

"Your Highness, please."

Wei Yan had to go inside again.

Liu Chan looked up at the sky, shook his head and said:

"It's getting late, so you don't have to go inside."

The trail is twisting and varied, sometimes steep and sometimes gentle, and the road is full of unknown challenges along the way. Sudden cliffs or landslides can be unexpected, and they need to be dealt with quickly in a crisis.

Without a guide, I am afraid that during the march, many soldiers will be lost in it.

When the group returned to the Longting camp, the sky was completely gloomy, the crescent moon hung high, only a little moonlight was sown, and the heavens and the earth were shrouded in pure darkness, leaving only the lights of the camp, swaying and flickering in the darkness.

"Your Highness has seen the Meridian Dao, do you think it can be successful?"

"It may be possible, but not today."

Not today?

When was that?

Wei Yan hurriedly asked, "I don't know how many years Your Highness will have to prepare before preparing to send troops to attack Wei?" ”

"At least three years."

Or even more than three years.

Three years?

Wei Yan thought in his heart.

It doesn't seem like it's been a long time.

"In the past three years, the last general will govern Hanzhong well, accumulate grain and grass for His Highness's Northern Expedition against Wei, and train generals!"

"The general has this ambition and deserves praise, but there is one thing at the moment that the general needs to send someone to pick it up."

Answer?

"Your Highness has something, just give it a direct order."

"The meridian road is dangerous, the general might as well send three hundred people to explore the road, see how many days the three hundred people will go, and by the way, in Guanzhong, take one person to Hanzhong."

Pick up someone?

Who is it that makes His Highness so concerned?

"I don't know who His Highness wants to answer, who is sacred?"

Liu Chan smiled slightly and said, "This person was just mentioned by you and me. ”

Mentioned?

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that Yanling Marquis Cao Zhang?" ”

Liu Chan nodded.

"It's Huang Beard Cao Zhang!"

That's right.

The battle for the king of Wei failed, fled to Guanzhong like a lost dog, and jumped in the mountains, in Wei, Cao Zhang had no way to live.

And come to Hanzhong and change a boss, although he can't be the king of Wei, but at least he can save his life.

Liu Chan wanted to take advantage of Cao Zhang's momentum, Cao Zhang's prestige and connections in Chang'an, and operate a wave of ruthlessly.

Who said that Cao Chang was not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?

As long as he kills the Wei people hard enough, he is a loyal minister!

Outside Lantian City.

In the middle of the mountains and forests.

There is a remnant army of hundreds of men who are still alive.

Among them, the one sitting on the stone next to the stream in a daze was Cao Zhang, the Marquis of Yanling, who was in high spirits before.

After the defeat in the battle outside Luoyang, Cao Zhang was forced to disperse into the mountains, crossing hundreds of miles of rugged mountain roads, during which he experienced betrayal, assassination, encirclement and suppression, and talked a lot of tears.

Of course

also has the help of the old department, otherwise I am afraid that I will become a corpse on the road.

After more than a month, I finally arrived outside Lantian City.

Nowadays, Cao Zhang's appearance is very different from the majesty and demeanor of the past.

The iron armor he was wearing was shattered, his armor was messy, and he emitted a pungent smell of sweat. The helmet was missing, the black hair was disheveled, and the sweat and mud on his forehead condensed into dirt, forming an illegible smudge.

His decadent face showed a deep tiredness, his cheeks were red from the wind and sun, his lips were chapped, and the signs of fatigue were etched on his forehead.

"Then the Lantian guard, are you willing to send food and grass supplies?"

"The prince, the people who entered the city have never come out, I think that the guy has forgotten the grace of the prince."

The guards stationed in Lantian were originally from his personal guards, which was also the reason why he traveled here for a long time.

But now it seems

Hehe.

It's already a person who has gone to tea and cooled.

Cao Zhang's eyes, once resolute and bright, are now full of exhaustion and despair. The deep bags under his eyes reveal the hardship of not closing his eyes for a long time. There seemed to be a faint sense of self-blame and pain for defeat in his eyes.

"Now, where should I go?"

The world is so big, and now there seems to be no place for him.

Cao Zhang's body was covered in a tattered battle robe, and the fabric had been shattered, revealing the original hard iron armor. The clothes were covered with dust and mud, like a testimony to the torture of nearly a month.

His arms were marked by trauma, red and bruised in dark spots. The knuckles of one hand twisted, apparently wounded, while the other clung to a long, worn knife with mud and dried blood.

When the rest of the people saw Cao Zhang like this, their faces were like ashes.

They are Cao Zhang's cronies, Yuan Cong.

is to the point of exhaustion, still follow Cao Zhang.

"God is unfortunate for me, what can I do about it!"

Faltering, Cao Zhang took a heavy step, and every step was accompanied by pain and fatigue. His boots were worn out, mud sticking to the soles of them, and heavy footsteps left deep marks.

The wounds on his body have become inflamed and suppurated, but he still moves forward with tenacity, and although he is no longer the heroic general of the past, he still has the determination to move forward.

In the midst of despair, he still firmly believes that as long as he lives, there is hope.

"The prince may wish to enter Hanzhong."

Into Hanzhong?

Cao Zhang glanced at Dongligon, who was also embarrassed, and sneered: "When I enter Hanzhong, do I want to be the prisoner of the prince of Hanzhong?" Regret that I shouldn't have listened to you! ”

Boom!

The more Cao Zhang spoke, the more angry he became, and he directly pulled out the ring head knife, and he was about to come up and fight hard.

"My Royal Highness is thirsty for recruitment, if the prince enters Hanzhong, he can conquer Guanzhong for my Royal Highness, with the reputation of the prince, my Royal Highness will definitely reuse it!"

"I am the bloodline of the Cao family, how can I do anything to damage the Wei State? If you want me to in the same room, fratricidal, he Liu Gonghei dreams, I bah! ”

"Hahaha~"

I didn't want Dongligon to laugh, but I laughed out loud, and my tears were about to burst out of my eyes.

"The prince and the marquis have been fighting in the same room and fratricidal in the same room, and now they have become a lost dog, and their lives are difficult to protect, but they think of the Wei State?"

"Dongligon, villain!"

Cao Zhang's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared viciously at Dongligon.

"I'm a villain, but now, only I, a villain, can give Junhou a way to live and a clear way."

Seeing that Cao Zhang did not refute, Dong Ligon continued: "The prince thinks about Yu Wenze, thinks about Pang De, and thinks about Wen Ping, all of them can be reused under His Royal Highness, and when the prince enters Hanzhong, as long as he can make meritorious contributions, wealth and glory are inexhaustible, and he can also make meritorious contributions." ”

With a sigh of relief, Dongligon continued to tempt: "I heard that the prince and the marquis effectively imitated the story of Huo Quai, Wei Qing in the Han Dynasty, sealed the wolf Juxu, and scolded Fang Xuan, but if you want to conquer foreign races, there must be a Ming lord, just imagine it, then Cao Pi is the Ming lord?" Or is my Royal Highness the Lord of the Ming Family? ”

"The general of the defeated army, the bloodline of the enemy country, how can it be reused?"

To be honest, Cao Zhang was a little moved.

He rebelled, originally because he didn't want to live in a nest, he wanted to learn from Na Huo to go sick and defend Qing to build an immortal career.

When he is not the king of Wei, it doesn't matter.

"If the prince thinks so, he underestimated my Royal Highness, which was written by His Royal Highness a few months ago."

A few months ago?

Cao Zhang was shocked.

The heir of Liu Gonghe, the crown prince of Hanzhong, does he have the ability to predict the future?

He hurriedly took the letter from Dongligon's hand and read it carefully.

After a while, he let out a long sigh and said, "The crown prince of Hanzhong is so sincere, how can I not obey it? ”

In fact

Now, apart from entering Hanzhong, where is there a second way for him to go?

Except for death.

Regardless of whether this letter was written by the crown prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghei, at the very least, it gave him a step to go down.

"Please also ask Your Excellency to inform the crown prince of Hanzhong, saying that he wants to take refuge in Hanzhong and serve him."

After saying this, Cao Zhang's face had a wry smile on his face.

It's fucked up.

Originally, he was a good Marquis of Yan Ling of Wei State.

Go around in circles for half a year.

In the blink of an eye

He became a Chinese courtier of the Han Dynasty.

Pity!

Amusing!

Alas!

Pathetic!
