Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Liang Xi's memorial was circulated among civil servants, and Situ Wang Lang was eager to express his opinion as soon as he finished reading it: "Although General Zidan retreated to Wuwei, his troops did not lose much. Liu Bei is eager to occupy so many places, and he needs to send officials and troops to go to Wuwei. Garrison, at this time Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and other strong generals are all on the frontier, I think that there are few major generals in Guanzhong, and your Majesty may consider sending troops to Tongguan, maybe you can regain Chang'an in one fell swoop."

"Take back Chang'an? What will I take to take it back?" Cao Pi frowned and asked back.

Wang Lang stared at Cao Xiu without saying a word, thinking that the old minister was only responsible for making suggestions, and as for dispatching troops, it was the generals' business. Aren't there hundreds of thousands of troops around Luoyang?

"Last year when we competed with Guan Yu for Nanxiang, our troops lost a lot, especially the soldiers who were infected in Huainan. Not only did not many Jingzhou soldiers be injured, but the Wei soldiers infected thousands of people for no reason. ..." Cao Xiu clasped his fists and looked around the crowd, but no one answered his question.

Cao Pi's ears felt hot when he heard this, and he thought that it was the poisonous plan put forward by that dog-headed military officer Sun Quan. No wonder Jiang Dong was lost so quickly, and he even made himself ashamed.

"After His Majesty withdrew the Huainan Army, the soldiers in Luoyang and Nanyang were only about 10 in total. How could there be enough people to take back Guanzhong?" Cao Xiu continued after a pause.

"One hundred thousand is not enough?" Wang Lang blurted out without hesitation, but was stunned by Cao Xiu as soon as he finished speaking: "Guan Yunchanghu is in Xiangyang, and it is also in Wan and Luo. If 10 people are transferred to seize Guanzhong, who will guard against it?" Guan Yu?"

"Uh... the old minister thinks it simple, but can't your majesty recruit more soldiers from Hebei, Qing, Yan and other places? We have always had an advantage in the population of Wei." Use new questions to cover up the embarrassment just now.

"Conscript from other places? The newly recruited soldiers go to fight against Liu Bei's old soldiers?" Cao Pi said speechlessly, and suddenly he looked at Cao Hong again, and asked in a deep voice: "General Hussars, I asked you to make armor It has been two years since the training, how many heavy infantry do I have in Great Wei?"

"Ah? Heavy infantry?" Cao Hong swallowed his saliva, cupped his fists and replied: "To build heavy armor requires mining and iron making, and the money and food needed are huge, because no one provides it to the general, so..."

"So what?" Cao Pi's eyes froze.

"The last general hasn't started making armor yet..." Cao Hong lowered his head after finishing speaking, thinking that His Majesty is in a bad mood today, and this scolding cannot be avoided.

Cao Pi raised his head and laughed, and then said coldly: "Okay, very good, take my words as fart, General Hussars is so brave, can you be convicted?"

"Uh... I'm going to be convicted...but I didn't..."

Cao Hong was about to explain, but was roughly interrupted by Cao Pi: "Don't explain, General Hussars. Since I have given the order, someone will naturally cooperate with you. How much money is needed to make the armor, you have to figure it out first? No one can transfer it." Ask Da Sinong? Besides, your family has a lot of money, so why not pay in advance?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood, the last general has no wealth..." Cao Hong answered subconsciously as he was stingy as a habit.

The more Cao Pi listened, the more angry he became. Thinking of the conflicts between the two in the past, he scolded in a deep voice: "Enough, you only have family wealth in your eyes, how can you care about Wei Guo? Why do you take what I say seriously? Take it as a warning, outside the palace Where is the samurai? Throw this bully out and behead him, and all the property in the family will be confiscated."

Beheaded?Even if Cao Hong has everything wrong, he is still the founding father of the Wei State, and he is also one of the four ministers of Cao Cao Tuogu. Why did Cao Pi kill him?Moreover, the cause of the incident was not Cao Hong's fault at all. It was like a wild boar made a mistake and angered a tiger, but the tiger finally killed the wolf beside him, and all the officials in the hall, including Cao Hong, were dumbfounded.

When Xu Chu rushed into the hall with the tiger guards, the officials only reacted at this moment.

Chen Qun took the lead in admonishing him and said: "Your Majesty, please rest your anger. Although General Zilian deceived the emperor, he is a loyal minister after all. It is not appropriate to behead him directly. Please think twice."

"The last general was wronged..." Cao Hong was controlled by the tiger guards, and only then did he know that Cao Pi was really here, and he knelt down and cried bitterly.

"Your Majesty, what Chen Lingjun said is reasonable, and now that the enemy is at hand, please spare General Zilian's life and let him take the blame and make meritorious deeds?" Cao Xiu also stood up to intercede.

Next, Xia Houshang, Xu Huang, Dong Zhao and others all stood up to intercede, but Cao Pi's face was still covered with dark clouds, even Xu Chu didn't take people out of the palace immediately, he left time for Cao Pi to think again.

"General Hussars should be punished for deceiving the emperor, but what the ministers said is also very reasonable. How about putting General Zilian in prison temporarily and making a decision after Dali's trial and conviction?" Liu Ye stood up at the critical moment to make peace.

Cao Pi glanced at Liu Ye first, then glanced at Chen Qun next to him, and said in his heart that this is the guy you asked me to ask for advice.

"Zi Yang is right. To deal with such an important minister, he must be interrogated by Dali. Zhongkang, take him out of the palace first, and I will discuss military and state affairs with all the ministers." Cao Pi waved his hand lightly, and was forced to accept Liu Ye's words. suggestion.

"Wei." Xu Chu clasped his fists in response, and then escorted Cao Hong out of the hall.

Cao Hong felt like he was sitting on a cloud at this moment, and he never expected this ending. What does the matter of Yong Liang have to do with me?

On the way out of the palace and sent to the prison, Cao Hong put down his body and begged Xu Chu: "General Xu and I served the late emperor together. Although we have not met much for many years in the east and west, can you please tell my family a word for the sake of the late emperor?" ?”

"Don't worry, general. Your family will definitely tell you about such a big event." Xu Chu shook his head lightly.

"Better sooner than later, please..." Cao Hong had tears in his eyes.

Xu Chu finally agreed, and he asked calmly, "What do you want to bring?"

"Go ask the Queen Mother..."

Chapter 914 Father's Debt and Son Repay Liu Gongzhong

After Cao Hong's episode, the atmosphere in the hall became more serious, everyone had a new understanding of Cao Pi, and thought that His Majesty was so ruthless that even the clan would not be spared.

"Zi Yang, I know that you have a good strategy, and now Yongliang is also lost. I can't watch Liu Bei continue to grow, is there any clever plan?" Cao Pi directly called Liu Ye's name.

Liu Ye was about to turn around and return to his original position. After being called by Cao Pi, he cupped his hands and replied: "What Wang Situ said is indeed the truth. Liu Bei has taken over a large area of ​​Yongliang land rashly. There will not be too many troops left in Chang'an. I suggest that General Wenbo (Zhu Ling) ) out of Tongguan to test, if the defenders of Huayin shrink their defenses and return to Chang'an, His Majesty can immediately move westward with elite troops."

"Huh? Didn't Ziyang hear what you said just now? The troops around Luoyang are limited. Where can I send the elite to fight? Does Guan Yu in Jingzhou ignore it?" Cao Pi and everyone showed surprised expressions.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ye replied firmly: "Just ignore Guan Yu and attack Chang'an with all your strength. Wancheng and Luoyang try their best to defend. Jingzhou's little field battle with soldiers and horses is acceptable, and the siege battle is not enough."

"Sir, this plan is too risky. It will easily cause the people of Luoyang to panic, and the defense will be much more difficult." Zhu Shuo was in charge of Luoyang's defense, so he was the first to oppose it.

Liu Ye smiled contemptuously: "The Jingbei War has been fought intermittently for a year, and Guan Yu can only mobilize [-] to [-] troops. Let alone relying on these people to enter Luoyang City, even if it is very difficult to storm Wancheng, and Dawei with [-] troops Elite soldiers appear at the foot of Chang'an city, do you think the people of Chang'an panic? Maybe Liu Bei will recruit soldiers from Jingzhou to King Qin of Guan."

"Zi Yang means to use offense as defense? The Han and Wei Dynasties changed their capitals at the same time. Who is stronger in the competition?" Cao Pi frowned.

"Of course, has Your Majesty noticed that since the first emperor's battle in Hanzhong, the battle rhythm of our country of Wei has been led by Liu Bei's side? The battle of Hanzhong was like this, the battle of Jingbei was like this, and the battlefield of Yongliang is still like this. What? Time to hand over the initiative to the other party?"

Liu Ye asked questions like a cannonball, making all the officials in the palace see the light of day, and seemed to have found the reason for the failures of these years. It turned out that he lost the initiative at the end of Cao Cao?

Cao Pi stood up from his seat and paced around where he was, thinking that Liu Ziyang was indeed very intelligent, but he thought too much about his actions. If you had reminded the late emperor earlier, I would not be so passive now.

"What do you think?"

Facing Cao Pi's inquiry, there was no civil or military person in the hall to speak to him, and finally Cao Xiu stood up, "The current situation is like a fog, and the Taizhong doctor's strategy may be tried, but Tongguan Zhu and Hao Er are good at defending but not attacking, Your Majesty You can send a strong general to help."

"General Zhang He is familiar with Yongliang, so he was originally the best candidate, but he caught wind and cold on the way to merge with the state, and now he is staying at Liang Ziyu's place to recuperate. I wonder which general would share my worries?" Cao Pi looked around at the crowd.

Xu Huang knew that Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang were both generals of the clan, and Zhu Shuo and Wu Zhi were Cao Pi's confidantes, so he and Wang Zhong had already been chosen.

"The final general is willing to go." Xu Huang stepped out of the queue to ask for a job.

"I almost forgot that Gong Ming followed the late emperor to recover Guanzhong, and now he has let the general visit the old place again, hoping to make persistent efforts." Cao Pi nodded happily.

"The last general will definitely do his best." Xu Huang's eyes were firm.

Cao Pi was overjoyed, and pointed at Wang Zhong and said, "General Qingche, you can go with Gongming, and you will take back the initiative in the war from Liu Bei."

"Wei." Wang Zhong and Xu Huang answered in unison.

Cao Pi selected the candidates for the expedition and asked Cao Xiu to send Xu Huang [-] elite troops. The next day, he went to Tongguan to attack Huayin.

During this period of time, due to too much pressure, Cao Pi had no interest in visiting his concubine at night. Just now, Liu Ye seemed to have found the crux of the Wei State at the court meeting, and the extinguished flame in his heart was ignited again.

Gao Miao was good at observing words and expressions, and Cao Pi almost had desire written on his face, so he took Sima Zhao to choose beauties, and told him to remember the emperor's preferences, and he was very particular about who he chose.

Although Sima Zhao was young, he was smart and quick to learn. Basically, what Gao Mou taught him could be memorized after just one study, but what the emperor was about to do now aroused the pain in his young heart.

There is some happiness that Sima Zhao will never experience.

When Gao Miao saw Sima Zhao's expression, he guessed what was in his heart, and comforted him like a father: "You have to learn to be more open-minded. Although you have lost some happiness, you have saved more troubles at the same time. You know Of all the heroes in the world, how many of them died at the hands of women? Beauty is a disaster."

"You're right, I've made a note of it." Sima Zhao wiped away his tears, and nodded sincerely in response.

"Good boy, come with me." Gao Mou patted Sima Zhao on the shoulder, and continued to comfort him: "Although eunuchs are physically handicapped, they can feast their eyes just like His Majesty. The emperor's close servants like us are concubines. You also have to be in awe, there are countless beauties to see in this life, apart from His Majesty himself, none of the princes and kings can compare..."

"Uh... well..." Sima Zhao was speechless after hearing this, and thought that after all, Gao Miao came from a humble background, and his vision was only so far away. As a close minister of the emperor, how can feasting his eyes be enough?Even if you can't do what Zhao Gao did, try your best to be the next Cao Teng.

In the middle of March, Xu Huang entered Tongguan on a festival basis, and led more than [-] elite soldiers to Huayin the next day.

Before leaving, Xu Huang asked Zhu Ling: "Huayin was originally guarded by Zhao Yun. Now that this person has gone to Anding, who did Liu Bei send?"

"It's his adopted son Liu Feng." Zhu Ling answered briefly.

"It's this person again?" Xu Huang frowned.

Wang Zhong scratched his head and asked curiously: "The general fought against him?"

Xu Huang nodded affirmatively, "Last year in the battle for Nanxiang, this guy often led troops to attack my grain road, he was extremely annoying like a mouse..."

"How is this man's martial arts?" Wang Zhong asked Zhu Ling again.

Zhu Ling waved his hand and said, "I haven't played against each other before, so I don't think so."

"I've never heard of him having any record..." Xu Huang denied it.

Wang Zhong was elated when he heard this, thinking that Liu Bei was defeated by Xiaopei in the past, and now his father's debt can be recovered by asking Liu Feng for repayment, so he clasped his fists and asked Xu Huang, saying: "General Xu, how can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? Pioneer, let's find out the truth for you."

Xu Huang and Zhu Ling looked at each other, thinking that it would be good to hide themselves first, if Liu Bei couldn't even deal with Wang Zhong, and then he invited reinforcements from Luoyang, the city of Chang'an might change hands.

"Alright, be careful." Xu Huang solemnly instructed.

"Don't worry, general, the final general will not disgrace his orders." Wang Zhong then left with his fists in his arms, and went straight to Huayin with 3000 troops from his troops.

Under the influence of the Lantian Reconnaissance Battalion, all the troops under Liu Bei formed their own intelligence battalions, so Xu Huang's troops had just left Tongguan. Liu Feng organized the defense while sending people to ask for help in the direction of Chang'an. It took less than ten days to fly back to Chang'an.

Chapter 915 Causal cycle buried fish belly

Out of Tongguan in the west, a map of Pingchuan.

There is no danger to defend Huayin across the middle, and it can only exist as an outpost of Chang'an to delay the attack from the Central Plains. Zhao Yun moved the people away during the guarding period, making Huayin a military station completely.

Last year, Liu Bei used troops on the two fronts of Anding and Longyou, and took away most of the troops in Guanzhong, leaving Liu Feng with only 3000 people in Huayin. Therefore, when Tongguan made a big move, Huayin quickly alerted Chang'an.

Huayin is less than fifty miles away from Tongguan, but two to three hundred miles away from Chang'an. Even if the horses run around the clock, Liu Feng can't wait for the reinforcements from Chang'an to arrive, so he has to choose to defend the city or retreat.

The small city of Huayin County was ruined, and the risk of defending it was huge, and Liu Feng did not have the deterrent power of Zhao Yun, so after sending out scouts for emergency, he gathered his troops and prepared to retreat when the opportunity came.

Wei general Wang Zhong arrived first, and Liu Feng formed a formation under Huayin City.

"Where is Liu Bei's fake son? Come out quickly and die." Wang Zhong clamored in front of the battle with a big knife in his hand.

When Liu Feng was watching from the city, he saw that the number of Wei's army was equal to that of the defending army. He was thinking of defeating the enemy's morale, but he didn't expect that as soon as they met, the other party would name him to fight him, thinking that there was some kind of conspiracy?

In the battle of Dingjun Mountain, Xia Houyuan's strategy of righteousness was cut. Liu Feng saw the opponent's bearded black face and hideous appearance, and felt that he was a ruthless character not to be trifled with. So he ordered the defenders to launch an attack, trying to test the strength of the Wei army.

Wang Zhong spit out a ball of saliva when he got off his horse, and muttered a curse in his mouth, and then commanded the vanguard troops to passively face the Han army.

Huayin was positioned as an outpost, and the soldiers left behind were mainly recruits, while Commander Wang Zhong's vanguard was the elite brought by Xu Huang from Luoyang.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Liu Feng immediately chose to withdraw his troops, thinking that fortunately he did not defend to the death, otherwise Wei would besiege Huayin, and none of the defenders in the city would be able to leave.

Seeing that the Han army withdrew immediately after the battle, Wang Zhong began to despise Zhu Ling and Hao Zhao, thinking that with such weak combat effectiveness, you two are still trapped in Tongguan?He deserves not to be reused by His Majesty.

Liu Feng led the army to fight and leave, how could Wang Zhong give up the opportunity to squeeze the persimmon?With three thousand vanguards chasing after him like a mad dog, he gradually lost contact with the main general Xu Huang.

The two armies chased for two days by the banks of the Weishui River. Liu Feng found out that Wei general Wang Zhong was a reckless man. He thought that the reinforcements from Chang'an should also set off.

The next day, Liu Feng's team continued to flee to Chang'an, and ambushed two thousand soldiers two miles south of the official road, hiding in the weed piles in the dry fields.

Everything recovers in spring, and the half-person tall weeds are very concealed. At this time, Wang Zhong only has Liu Feng in his eyes, and he is not suspicious when he finds that the number of deserters has decreased. Kick back in your own direction.

Did Liu Feng lose his mind?Wang Zhong was so excited when he saw the "prey" coming to the door, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

There was a sound of horseshoes, and the generals of the two armies had only one arrow left. Wang Zhong raised his knife and wanted to take the head, but his face was suddenly pale with shock, and his rough hands grabbed the reins violently, and controlled the horse to go to the river bank. He made a detour and fled to the east desperately.

He was clearly a 'little boy' Liu Feng, but how did he become Zhang Fei with leopard head and ring eyes?Didn't this person go to subdue Longyou?Why is it here?Zhang He's information was wrong?

Wang Zhong's martial arts skills are ordinary, but fortunately his eyesight is very good. Although he couldn't see the general's appearance clearly, but the opponent's copper bell-like eyes, black-headed horse, Zhangba snake spear, these factors are connected together, Zhang Fei can't do it. who is it?

Wang Zhong reacted quickly and ran just as fast. When he gave the order to retreat, he was already far away from the front troops. Those Wei soldiers rushed forward and directly bumped into Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei's troops are all veterans of the battlefield, with the strong deterrent power of the general, they directly crushed the leaderless Wei soldiers, and then turned eastward like a tide, and the Wei soldiers passively ran back and retreated.

Zhang Fei has been fighting for so many years, and he has never seen such a rush to death. After dealing with the defeated soldiers in front of him, he asked the people around him in amazement: "The general they ran away just now, why do I feel familiar?"

"It's a little far away, and the general didn't see it clearly." Wu Er shook his head lightly.

"This person seems to be named Wang Zhong. The Major General has fought against him several times in the past two days. I heard him shouting when he was chasing him." Liu Feng's soldiers replied.

Zhang Fei scratched his head, and it took him a while to remember: "It turned out that he was sent to Xiaopei by the thief Cao back then. I remember that this thief was especially fond of eating human flesh, and he has survived until now. He will throw it into the Weishui to feed the fish." go."

Wang Zhong fled in a panic, and only after five miles of running, he saw a group of Dongfang men approaching. Wang Zhong was overjoyed, and said to the people around him: "General Xu is here, maybe he can stop that black fellow."

Wang Zhong was worried that his recklessness would be reprimanded by Xu Huang, so he wanted to tell the truth about Zhang Yun's mistaken intelligence, so as to divert Xu Huang's attention, so he rode to the front to meet the general, and the reality came again hit him in the face.

How did 'Baby Face' Liu Feng appear in the rear?Wang Zhong hammered his own head, completely unaware of what happened. Could it be that the Han army could fly into the sky and escape from the ground?

During the two-day pursuit, Wang Zhong and Liu Feng fought several times. He naively thought that Liu Feng was weak in martial arts. In fact, Liu Feng was worried that the two armies would suffer great damage when they confronted each other, so he chose to fight and leave. Wei Bing stalked and beat him to death.

The timing changed, and Liu Feng's mentality also changed.

Wang Zhong fled back in embarrassment, which meant that he had encountered Zhang Fei. At this time, if he chose to entangle him, he might be able to eat the Wei army, so Liu Feng took the initiative to attack with his gun.

Is Liu Feng crazy?Shouldn't he run away when he sees me?Wang Zhong looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and then confidently greeted him with a knife.

It's not ashamed to defeat Zhang Fei, and it's as good as killing Liu Bei's fake son. Wang Zhong swung his big knife and chopped Liu Feng's head. Liu Feng waved his spear and easily resolved it.

After three rounds of fighting between the two sides, Wang Zhong became more and more startled, saying that this fellow made such rapid progress that he actually felt a little strenuous...

Liu Feng fought more and more bravely, and Wang Zhong became more and more panicked. During the battle, he saw smoke and dust billowing from the west, and he knew that Zhang Fei's army had arrived.

The moment Wang Zhong was in a trance, he was stabbed in the chest by Liu Feng, and then fell off the horse and died on the spot. This Wei army was flanked by the front and back of the encounter, and no one survived.

At the end of the war of annihilation, Wang Zhong's body was thrown into the Wei River and became food for the fish in the river. When Wang Zhong was young, he had eaten people due to hunger in Guanzhong, but in the end he was buried in the belly of a fish.

Zhang Fei originally had [-] elite soldiers, but when he joined Liu Feng's [-]-odd men, they were evenly matched with Xu Huang's troops. In the end, the two armies encountered each other fifty miles west of Huayin.
