In May, Tongguan.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Liu Chan sat on the couch, holding official documents, as if he was studying them carefully.After a few breaths, Liu Chan sighed, put down the official document in his hand, rubbed his twitching eyelids, held the official document, and stared absently at the flickering lights.

"Your Majesty, the latest battle situation in Hedong." Liao Li said while holding an official document.

"Huh?" Liu Chan recovered from his errand and asked, "Has there been any progress in the recent war?"

Liao Li shook his head with an uneasy expression, and said, "Your Majesty, the battle in Hedong is raging. The prime minister left the hussar general to besiege Puban. He led the army to go north to Jiexian County. Sima Yi happened to confront him. Puban City Gao, the hussars general can't be defeated, so he has to besiege. Sima Yi can't avoid the battle, and the prime minister can't do anything about it."

Zhuge Liang first joined Huang Quan and crossed the Yellow River, preparing to encircle and attack Puban, an important city in the east of the river, to attract Sima Yi's army to fight.Unexpectedly, the army had been besieging for half a month, and Sima Yi's army was not seen at all, and he was not worried about Puban's fall at all.

After Zhuge Liang thought about it and besieged Puban City for half a month, he found that Puban City was strong and had plenty of troops, so he knew that Sima Yi had guessed his strategy in advance.

So Zhuge Liang took the initiative to change, went up the Sushui River, prepared to attack Xie County, and then went south to attack Anyi, forcing Sima Yi to fight, but Guo Huai saw his intention.So Sima Yi led his army to block Zhuge Liang's army by the Sushui River. Facing Zhuge Liang's invitation to fight, Sima Yi couldn't avoid the battle.

Zhuge Liang sent people to attack the camp, and Sima Yi defended the camp and fought. Under the storm, the casualties of the Han army were far greater than those of the Wei army. Zhuge Liang had to give up the storm, and the two armies faced each other at the southwest corner of the river.

Listening to Liao Li's description of the situation in Hedong, Liu Chan scanned the map of Hedong, and it was a headache to see the front without any changes.

Liu Chan knocked on the map and asked, "Have you noticed the movement of Cao Rui's army?"

"Your Majesty, there is no westward movement of Cao Rui's army. According to the battle report ahead, there are only Jiang Ji's army and Sima Yi's army. But half a month ago, the traitors against Wei recruited more than [-] troops from the Southern Huns to go south to Hedong to help." Liao Li answered truthfully. road.

Liu Chan frowned, looked at the map, and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?"

Lu Zhi pondered for a while, then said: "Your Majesty, the situation is now tense. If there is a break, it depends on how the Wu people are fighting. If the Wu people lose, our army needs to withdraw. If the Wu people win, our army still has a chance to defeat the enemy."

Liu Chan's eyes fell on Liao Li, and he asked, "What do you think Gong Yuan thinks?"

Liao Li looked at the map for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Sima Yi and Guo Huai are not ordinary generals. Since this battle, they have seen through our army's strategy of dispatching troops many times. Since guarding Hedong, they have learned the lesson of Chen Cang being destroyed. Build cities and hoard food and grass. If our army wants to break the situation, we still need to have a plan, but the Wei people can't avoid the battle, and our army's plan is like a fish without water, it is difficult to use!"

I have to say that the Battle of Guanzhong hurt Cao Wei all of a sudden.Sima Yi, Jiang Ji, Xia Houba and others faced the attack of the Shu Han and did not fight to the death.He wanted to drag Cao Rui's army back to help, or the Shu Han army retreated.

Liu Chan licked his dry lips and said, "As you said, Sima Yi is not an ordinary general, so there is no rush. The capture of Hedong is not a one-day achievement, and I will pass an order to the prime minister to be more careful. If he fails to catch him, he can withdraw his troops." .”

"promise!"

"Your Majesty, Zhang Shao and Zhang Shilang outside the tent are asking to see you." The attendant approached and asked.

"Zhang Shao?" Liu Chan asked in surprise.

At the beginning, Liu Chan ordered Zhao Zhizhan because of a nightmare, because he was worried about the queen's physical condition because of what he said, and ordered people to investigate the condition of the ladies in the harem.It's only been four or five days since we set off. According to the distance, we should have only arrived in Sichuan or Chengdu.But now Zhang Shao came to report, could it be...

"Exactly, Zhang Shilang bluntly said that he has a state matter to report to His Majesty." The attendant asked.

"Xuan, Zhang Shilang is in the account. Hurry up!" Liu Chan raised his hand and said.

"promise!"

Not long after, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure to Liu Chan appeared in the tent.What is familiar is Zhang Shao's unchanged face, but what is unfamiliar is Zhang Shao's thinned body.

Zhang Shao looked at his brother-in-law in the center of the tent, tears instantly overflowed from his eyes, and he almost yelled out in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Liu Chan waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, leaving Zhang Shao alone.

Seeing everyone leaving the tent, Zhang Shao couldn't hold back his tears, sobbing, he said: "Brother-in-law, my sister is seriously ill, and I'm afraid she will pass away soon."

Liu Chan stood up directly, and asked with wide eyes in disbelief, "What? The queen is only in her thirties, how could she be suffering from a serious illness."

Zhang Shao touched his tears with his cuff, and said: "I dare not lie to your majesty. During your majesty's northern tour, the queen was sick in bed. I wanted to inform your majesty of the situation, but the queen refused. Later, when your majesty marched east to Tongguan, the queen As the disease worsened, I sent someone to inform me, but the empress stopped me. Now that the empress can't stay in bed, medicine and stones are useless, so I went north in person."

Liu Chan felt dizzy when he heard that his wife's medicine was difficult to cure, and asked, "Why didn't your sister tell me the inside story."

"Sister, I'm worried that my illness will affect His Majesty's important affairs, especially the battle against Hedong, so I prevent others from informing His Majesty." Zhang Shao replied.

Hearing this, Liu Chan strode up, grabbed Zhang Shao by the neckline, and reprimanded him: "The queen won't allow it, don't you know how to report secretly?"

As he spoke, Liu Chan flicked his sleeves angrily, kicked overturned the case, and cursed: "Huang Hao, Jiang Wan, and Dong Yun are in the palace, and they don't know to report. What do I want them to do, and all the officials in Chengdu?" use?"

Zhang Shao muttered in a low voice: "Sister, hide your illness."

Hearing His Majesty's yelling loudly in the tent, Liao Li opened the curtain and was about to ask about the situation, but Liu Chan lashed out at him and said, "I haven't announced anyone, get out of here."

Liao Li's heart skipped a beat. Did he know that His Majesty seldom gets angry, and once he gets angry, his anger is very extinguishable.So he quickly put down the curtain and hid far away.

Liu Chan cursed a few more words, his anger gradually dissipated, he grabbed the coat hanging on the rack and quickly put it on, strode out of the tent, and shouted: "Take my horse, I want to return to Chengdu immediately."

"Your Majesty?" The people outside the tent crowded together.

Lu Zhi took Liu Chan's arm and advised him, "Your Majesty, the battle is now raging. Your Majesty is the commander of the army. If you leave the army easily and return to Chengdu, it may not be conducive to the war~"

Liao Li rarely agreed with Lu Zhi's words, and said: "Servant Lu is right, your Majesty might as well postpone the trip until the battle situation is clear and return to Chengdu. If you leave the army easily today, the army will have no master!"

Liu Chan broke away from Lu Zhi's hand, took a deep breath and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but the queen is seriously ill. I have to go back to Chengdu, and you can deal with military affairs by yourself."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned, not knowing how to persuade them.

The queen has been a companion for 15 years when Her Majesty was the crown prince.Although the queen has not given birth, the two have always been in love with each other, and all the officials in the court have heard of it.Moreover, the queen is a virtuous person, her dress does not drag the floor, and she subsidizes the state with brocade. She often comforts the orphaned children of the Northern Expedition, and is highly praised by scholars and people.It's really sad to be seriously ill now.

However, Lu Zhi still bite the bullet and advised, "Your Majesty, state affairs are more important than children's affairs. If you can..."

Before Lu Zhi could speak, Liu Chan suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and interrupted, "There is no need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind. As for the army, order the former general to retreat to Tongguan, and let him lead the army to fight against Wei."

"promise!"

From the beginning of his journey to the present, there have been many women beside him, either coquettish or beautiful.But the one in his heart has always been the wife who has been with him for 15 years. Now no matter what, he must go back to see her, or else he...
