Han Shimou

After a while, Hao Zhao asked Jiang Wei with a condensed expression.

"Gaochang has been captured by Pang Lingming now. Gaochang is the city of Luling County, an important place. If we can't take it, even if we take down the nearby small town, it won't help. I wonder what General Jinpeng's plan is!?"

When Jiang Wei heard this, his face darkened, and he agreed with Hao Zhao.

"Pang Lingming actually sent troops to take Luling. I am afraid that Jiaozhou and Guiyang have been lost. In addition to Guiyang and Luling in southern Wu, there are Lingling, Hengyang, and Changsha counties. Western Tang thieves must also send troops. Go get it. Although we sent people to inform General Zhang earlier, we still don’t know what the situation is now. According to what Jiang saw, we should not act rashly now, but wait for His Majesty’s order before making further progress!”

Hao Zhao nodded heavily when he heard the words, agreeing, and said in a concentrated voice.

"General Jinpeng's words are very true. In this way, we will be ahead of this city and recharge our batteries. When His Majesty's order arrives, we will advance vigorously. With the strength of our great Wei army, we will be able to attack and conquer all battles!!"

Jiang Wei nodded and smiled, talking to Hao Zhao.

"You and I are both generals of the Great Wei Dynasty. Bo Dao doesn't have to be so outspoken. He will just call Jiang in the future."

After Hao Zhao heard this, he was not hypocritical, and even admired Jiang Wei. The two of them can be said to know heroes and value heroes, so they hand in hand.

"Bo Yue ordered so, then Hao Mou is presumptuous."

After Hao Zhao finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had formed a good friendship.

On the other side, in Gaochang city.Although Jiang Wei withdrew his troops, Pang De did not dare to relax, and sent scouts to investigate for several days.One day, the scouts reported that Jiang Wei had stationed troops in Huanghu City, but there was no movement for the time being.After hearing this, Pound groaned while holding his beard, and said slowly with a pair of lion-eyed majestic eyes.

"This Jiang Boyue is extremely capable. If he waits for his army to rest and gather momentum to attack, it will be a threat to the tiger. Do you have a plan!?"

As soon as Pang De finished speaking, Ma Dai's expression became tense, and he hurried out.

"Don't worry too much, general. The last general didn't know how powerful Jiang Boyue was, so he felt contemptuous. If he leads an army against the enemy now, he will never be defeated by him!! The last general begs for an army until Huang Under Tiger City, shame on you!!"

Zhang Xiu heard the words, his face became anxious, and he hurriedly attended the lecture.

"No! According to what the general said, the Marquis of Long is taking the three counties of Lingling, Hengyang, and Changsha. With the name of Marquis Long, it is presumably that the Marquis of Long has already conquered the three counties. There are five counties in South Wu. The old thief Cao He actually sent Jiang Boyue to take Luling and Guiyang, and he will definitely send a general to take the three counties of Changsha. Marquis Long is invincible all over the world, and he is also good at strategy, wise and brave. No one under Wei Kou's command is his enemy. , will be able to keep the three counties of Changsha! When the old thief Cao learned that the Western Tang Dynasty wanted to take the land of Wunan, he would not dare to act rashly, and quickly taught Jiang Boyue and others to withdraw the army. Here, the general why not defend the city of Gaochang. In this way, it won't take many days for the five counties in southern Wu to be peaceful."

As soon as Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Gu Shao, who always put the people first, hurriedly attended and echoed.

"What Zhang Gong said is true. What's more, our army has suffered a lot of ups and downs before, and our spirit has been poked. I hope the general will think twice!!"

Hearing this, Pang De couldn't help pondering.Ma Dai was unwilling to be defeated by Jiang Wei, and shouted in a cold voice.

"So, wouldn't you teach that Jiang Boyue to think that our West Tang army is timid and afraid of him!?"

Zhang Xiu frowned, but did not back down, and replied quickly.

"The reason why the people in southern Wu hope to vote under the command of the Western Tang Dynasty is to repeat the peace and avoid the suffering of the flames of war. If the army is easily mobilized and a large-scale war is launched, it may lose the hearts of the people!!"

As soon as Zhang Xiu said this, Ma Dai's face changed suddenly, and he shouted sharply.

"Uncle Zhang!! You are presumptuous!!"

"General Ma, calm down. The situation in Luling and Guiyang is not stable now, and the people's hearts are broken. The most important thing right now is to stabilize the people's hearts first!!"

Seeing that Ma Dai was angry, Gu Shao hurriedly persuaded him.At this moment, Pound seemed to have made up his mind, staring at him and shouting loudly.

"enough!!"

Pang De's voice was like a thunderbolt, and everyone's expressions changed immediately, and they all bowed and confessed their crimes.Pound's face darkened, and he said slowly.

"What Zhang Shusi said is indeed reasonable. The king once said to us that a country is a boat, and people are water. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. Since the Great Wei conquered Wu, the time has passed. For more than two years, the people in southern Wu were uneasy day and night. They all hoped for peace as soon as possible, so they came to me in the Western Tang Dynasty. The public opinion is irreversible, and even Jiang Boyue will retreat soon. First, stabilize the hearts of the people in Luling and Guiyang, and then plan for the future!!"

Zhang Xiu and Gu Shao were overjoyed when they heard the words, and they all thanked each other.Hearing this, Ma Dai seemed to understand the truth, so he didn't say any more.At this point, Pang De also stood still, teaching Zhang Xiu, Gu Shao and other Eastern Wu surrenders to use their own strategies to stabilize the people's hearts, and at the same time sent people to inform Zhao Yun.

There is no war in Luling for the time being.On the other hand, it is said that Cao Cao has won all the land in Wubei, and he is recuperating his injuries in the palace of Wu County, waiting for the news of Zhang Jai and Jiang Wei's success.Suddenly one day, Zhang Jai sent someone to report that the three counties of Changsha, Hengyang and Lingling had all been captured by Zhao Zilong, the Shenlong General of the Western Tang Dynasty. Awaiting order.When Cao Cao heard that, the detailed eyes that could swallow the sky, the crimson and bewitching, slapped it with his palm, and suddenly a violent murderous aura burst out from his body, and all the civil and military people in the hall did not change their colors, and even the timid ones trembled all over. , trembling.There was a dead silence in the hall, either in horror or fear of angering Cao Cao, so he dared not say more.Suddenly, Cao Cao laughed out loud, the laughter was loud and unrestrained, and suddenly echoed in the main hall, resounding endlessly.

"Hahahahahaha!!! Good! Good! Good!!! Wen Bufan, you are worthy of being my lifelong enemy, but this time I despise you too much. If the Eastern Wu is a country, I will lead hundreds of thousands of troops, almost Only when you lose all your troops and lose your generals will you take the land of Wubei, and you will take half of it without any effort!! You are declaring war on me!!?"

At the end of Cao Cao's speech, his whole face was excited and ferocious, like a Nine Nether Demon King who had been irritated, his aura was so shocking that people dare not look directly at him, and his whole body seemed to be bursting with faint flames.Cao Zhang's eyes were full of golden light, and he burst out angrily, with a murderous look on his face, he shouted sharply.

"Father, don't be angry!! A mere thief, don't worry about it. If you are willing to lead an army, you will definitely capture that Zhao Zilong!!"

It can be said that Cao Zhang is a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. Zhao Yun has been famous for a long time. Except for Cao Zhang, His Highness has no generals to attend and join him.Seeing that all the soldiers were timid, Cao Cao glanced at them coldly like torches.All the generals did not change their colors, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly.Cao Cao's smile was even better, and he had a frightening chill. He suddenly turned his eyes to Jia Xu, and said in a cold voice.

"According to Taifu's opinion, what should I do!?"

When Jia Xu heard this, her expression sank, she stepped out, and clasped her hands.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, Zhao Zilong has actually taken down Changsha and other counties, defended the city, and occupied the geographical advantage. However, our army has suffered many fierce battles in recent years and suffered heavy losses. The remaining soldiers are all exhausted. The victory is less and the defeat is more. The matter has come to this, why not use Nanchang as the boundary, and each of them will defend! In time, Wu Bei will be able to replenish his troops, and then draw a picture!!"

When Cao Cao heard the words, he narrowed his eyes, the cold light was overwhelming, and he groaned.

"If so, wouldn't I let that Wen Bufan take advantage of me in vain!!?"

Cao Cao's demeanor was not only furious, but also uncontrollably excited, as if he wanted to start a full-scale war with Xitang immediately.As everyone knows, Cao Cao regards Wen Han as a lifelong enemy, and the two were lifelong friends in the past, and even lifelong confidants.It has been many years since Cao Cao waited for this battle to compete with Wen Han!Jia Xu also seemed to understand Cao Cao's intentions, and bowed his hands.

"Wu Bei Chuping, the people's hearts are not stable. The current situation is very unfavorable to our great Wei. Please be patient, and when the time comes, we will wait for the great Wei Wenwu, and we will be united as one, risking life and forgetting death, and imitating death Strength, follow His Majesty to rule the country!!"

After Jia Xu finished speaking, Sima Yi came out in a hurry and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, what the Taifu said is very true. The time has passed, and the world has become a situation where two heroes contend for hegemony. My Wei Dynasty is based in the Central Plains, and the national power is strong. In the north, the four prefectures of You, Ji, Yan, and Qing are occupied by population, money and food. The land of prosperity. Now the south has acquired the land of Jingzhou and Wubei, combined with Xuzhou and Henan, and the four roads are well developed, each echoing. The prosperity of the country is not comparable to that of the Western Tang Dynasty. As long as your majesty rests for a while, wait for the opportunity to come Come on, why worry about not being able to unite the country with the soldiers of the whole country!?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao took a deep breath, and the raging anger and murderous aura immediately subsided.Your highness is a martial artist, and just now he felt that the force that made people tremble had weakened a lot, and they all gasped for breath.At this time, I heard Cao Cao laugh again, and nodded to Sima Yi and Jia Xu.

"What the two lovers said is reasonable. People suffer from dissatisfaction. Years of wars, soldiers toiling, and people complaining. If I don't know how to stop and force the war, wouldn't I become a fool!? At that time, the great Wei will be in turmoil everywhere. It's even cheaper!!"

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, there was a shout outside the hall, reporting that Jiang Wei had sent someone to report the war.When Cao Cao heard this, his expression tightened, and a glint of anger secretly flashed in his eyes. He seemed to predict that most of Jiang Wei would also be defeated by the Western Tang Army, so he hurriedly called him in.

After the salute, the soldier quickly reported.When Cao Cao heard that Jiang Wei did not push forward, he was overjoyed, and he also heard that Pang De was still attacking Gaochang, and he had a great opportunity to take advantage of the chaos, but his face darkened, and he said very regretfully.

"Bo Yue is very thoughtful, this time it is very possible to take advantage of the chaos to take down Gaochang and capture Luling. It's a pity, a pity!"

After hearing this, Jia Xu followed suit.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to care too much. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. The destiny belongs to you. The world will belong to Your Majesty sooner or later. Why should you care about the gains and losses at this moment?"

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and laughed aloud. After discussing with everyone, he taught everyone to pass orders, and taught Zhang Jai to guard Nanchang temporarily in case the thieves from the Western Tang Dynasty came.But Jiang Wei listened to the order, so he withdrew his troops immediately, retreated to Linchuan, and echoed Zhang Jaw, who was guarding Nanchang, to protect the border of Wubei.

Following Cao Cao's order, about half a month later, Jiang Wei led his troops to withdraw from Huanghu City.Pound heard about it, but he didn't make a big effort to cover up the killing, and advanced slowly to guard against fraud.In the end, Jiang Wei withdrew from the Luling territory all the way to the Linchuan territory, guarding various key points.Seeing that Jiang Wei had withdrawn to Linchuan, Pang De thought that Cao Cao had no intention of taking Wu Nan, so he guarded the pass, and at the same time sent Meteor Horse on the way to report to Zhao Yun.In addition, it has been more than a month since Zhao Yun acquired Changsha and other counties, and the cities and counties have gradually become stable. Seeing that the Wei army has not sent troops for a long time, he feels a little more stable.Suddenly one day, a meteor horse came to report that Jiang Wei, General Jinpeng of the Wei Army, also withdrew from Luling and returned to Linchuan.So far, the five counties in southern Wu have all been included in the territory of the Western Tang Dynasty.But Zhao Yun has always acted cautiously, and taught Pound to guard the border of Luling closely without letting go.Then about seven or eight days later, Cao Cao sent Guan Ning, a doctor of Zhongzhong, as his envoy, to Changle to see Zhao Yun.

When Zhao Yun heard that Guan Ning was the envoy of the Great Wei, his expression changed slightly.Let's say that Guan Ning, whose name is You'an, is from Zhuxu in Beihai County. He is erudite and talented.Wen Shun, who was at the side, had heard of Guan Ning quite a bit, and said in a deep voice.

"Emperor Wei sent this person to see him, there must be something important to discuss. Could it be that Emperor Wei wants to make peace?"
