contend

Chapter 387 Duan Gu
On Wucheng Mountain, there is a single camp of the Shu Army, while on the opposite Wucheng Mountain, there are nine camps of the Wei Army, all guarding the key points and relying on each other.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Jiang Wei was also waiting.

Now, most of the Wei army in Longyou was attracted by Jiang Wei to the Wucheng Mountain area, and the sky and water were empty, so it was a good time to send troops.

Hu Ji had [-] Hanzhong elites in his hands, and Liao Hua, the prefect of Yinping, assisted him.

Moreover, Yong Liang's army has not recovered since being severely injured by Yang Zheng.

Now it can be said that it is the best and possibly the last chance for the Shu army to seize Longyou.

Before he knew it, Jiang Wei became a little irritable. The weather in July was unbearably hot, and sweat was dripping from Jiang Wei's forehead. "Why is there no news yet?"

According to common sense, Hu Ji should have appeared in Tianshui, which was empty of troops, ten days before.

Hu Ji is a veteran of the Jingzhou Clan and a friend of Zhuge Wuhou. He has accompanied Wuhou many times in the Northern Expedition, and has been in Hanzhong for many years, so he will never lose his way.

Unless...he doesn't send troops.

The more Jiang Wei thought about it, the more sweat dripped on his face.

Deng Ai only needs to think about things on the battlefield, and he can have no distractions, while Jiang Wei has to think about all kinds of interests...

"Since Governor Hu has lost his promise, this battle should be withdrawn, and the plan will be used later." Huang Chong suggested, but the Jingzhou scholars scoffed in his heart. On such an important state matter, they are still intriguing.

After Fei Yi's death, the power of Shu should be transferred.

But these people are still relentless.

Fu Qian threw the spear in his hand on the ground, "Hateful! Hateful! If you retreat today, you will never have such a good chance in the future. This must be Hu Ji who blamed the death of General Fei on the general!"

Fei Yi was assassinated and died. On the surface, he was suppressed by the Lord of Shu, but in fact, the undercurrent was already raging.

Coupled with the fact that Jiang Wei and Chen Yu have gotten closer in the past two years, this has been regarded as a betrayal by the Jingzhou faction.

After Fei Yi's death, the people of Shu thought that the person who recorded the book was either a scholar from Jingzhou or a scholar from Yizhou. Unexpectedly, the master of Shu single-handedly promoted Chen Yu, who had insufficient prestige and qualifications, to add Minister Shuling and Zhenjun General.

So far, Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, not only took over the power of prime minister, but also weakened the affairs of recording ministers.

Chen Yu has the position of Shangshu Ling, but he has no right to record the affairs of Shangshu.

Jiang Wei has the right to record the affairs of the minister, but not the position of the order of the minister.

Neither of them could reach the status they had in Fei Yi's time.

Jiang Weilu's Shangshu affairs were in name only, and he led the army all the year round, so the Shangshutai belonged to Chen Yu.

Jingzhou and Yizhou are excluded.

This is the pattern that the Shu Han has never had since Zhuge Wuhou.

No one likes to be deprived of power.

Thus, the Jingzhou Department fought back.

But in this way, Jiang Wei's eyes are sad. Standing in his position, he can naturally see many things that others can't see. He knows it well, but he can't say it.

"Nonsense!" Jiang Wei shouted in a deep voice.

Huang Chong and Fu Qian were both shocked.

Jiang Wei stood up with his sword, and all the disappointment in his eyes was swept away, replaced by resoluteness, incomparable perseverance, "In the past, General Yunchang's [-] elite expedition to the north, flooded the seven armies, captured him in the ban, beheaded Pound, Megatron Huaxia, Let's fight again with Cao Wei's overwhelming army! This general has [-] elite troops, Qiang and Hu Yi never have [-], and Wei's bandits are only [-], so what are you afraid of? Send an order to go east tonight, and follow this general to attack Shanggui!"

Back at this time, there is nothing, Jiang Wei will still be dragged into the quagmire of internal fighting.

But the only way to capture Longyou is to use a brilliant victory to inspire the hearts of the people in the middle of Shu and inspire the aspirations of the monarchs and ministers.

"Follow the order!" Fu Qian excitedly picked up the spear and opened the tent.

Outside the tent, under the scorching sun, there were many Shu troops standing there.

Each one is as straight as pines and cypresses.

"The general has orders for the Northern Expedition!" Fu Qian roared hysterically.

"Northern Expedition! Northern Expedition!"

The shouts passed layer by layer like waves, and more than 2 spears were raised to the sky.

The surrounding mountains and rivers echoed, like a rolling heat wave.

Jiang Wei stood in front of the camp with his sword pressed, looking at the excited faces of the soldiers, he felt a little comforted in his heart.

Only loyal people cannot be disappointed.

That night, the Shu army broke out from the camp, sneaked across the Wei River, entered the mountains, and rushed straight to Shangbi.

However, the movement of the Shu army had been expected by Deng Ai, and the Wei army followed closely behind.

Traveling to Duangu, the mountain was dangerous and extremely beneficial to the Shu army, so Jiang Wei decided to fight Deng Ai here.

The Shu army lined up in Donggu, waiting quietly.

After a long time, a black crow sprang up from the forest, croaked and flew into the sky, left behind a few black feathers, circled slowly in the wind, and finally landed on the ground.

The earth shook at this moment.

The sound of armor alarmed more birds and beasts in the forest.

Even the scorching sun was blocked by dark clouds.

It seems that wherever they go with their footsteps, they are covered by the shadow of death.

Soon, rows of black shadows stood in front of Xigukou.

And the swords and spears in their hands exude the same cold light as their eyes...

Huainan, Shouchun.

Zhuge Dan happily tasted the sweet oranges sent by the state of Wu. "Oranges grown in Huainan are tangerines, and those grown in Huaibei are oranges. The leaves are similar, but the taste is different. Why? The water and soil are different."

Although Huainan produces oranges, there is always a hint of sour and bitter taste in the mouth.

Zhuge Dan, who was well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, is naturally not used to it.

Only sweet tangerines from Wu State are the most suitable to his taste.

Jiao Yi thought carefully about Zhuge Dan's words. These words came from the records of Yan Zi's Spring and Autumn Annals, and when they came out of Zhuge Dan's mouth, they seemed to contain something.

"Your Majesty, now that the battle between Yongliang and Liang is starting, we have an alliance with him first, why not go north to Qingxu to share the power of Sima Zhao?"

Zhuge Dan shook his head, "You didn't understand someone's words, oranges are originally from Huainan, why force them to go to Huaibei?"

Jiao Yi was taken aback, "Your Majesty, do you want to stand still?"

Zhuge Dan threw a piece of orange meat into his mouth, "Yesterday, on a whim, I made a divination to the moon."

"Oh? What is the hexagram?"

"The hexagram image is water, and the number of yang is double water. It is a Kan hexagram. The hurdle is the soil. If you go north, you will go to the soil and leave the water. There are many difficulties. If you stay in the local area, you will hit it with two waters to help you. Huainan After a long period of war and chaos, I am extremely exhausted. If I rush northward, I will definitely lose. My roots depend on the water and soil in Huainan!"

As long as he talked about the Book of Changes, Zhuge Dan would talk endlessly.

Last year, Guanqiujian, Wenqin, and Yang Zheng raised their troops at the same time, and the momentum was so great that Zhuge Dan was indifferent, let alone now.

Sima Zhao waited for him to jump up in Luoyang with his big sword in hand.

Moreover, as a member of the gentry, Guanqiu Jian naturally knew what the nature of the Sima family was.

Without the support of Yingchuan and Shandong gentry, what if he sent troops?
The hexagrams are changeable, so divination for yourself, of course, follow your own mind.

Jiao Yi was a little anxious, "The Shu army and Yang Zheng are located in a remote place, so they are definitely not the enemies of the Central Plains. If they lose, Sima Zhao's prestige will greatly increase. How can Sima Zhao tolerate him as a king and marquis in the heart of Huainan?"

"A certain man doesn't go north because he doesn't want to wait for death. As I said just now, this orange was sent by Soochow."

Zhuge Dan had a confident expression on his face.

Jiao Yi finally understood Zhuge Dan's thoughts, and with his back to Wu State, Huainan was separatist.

I have to say that the chances of success are great.

"Yang Xingyun can separate Liangzhou, and someone can also defend Huainan." Zhuge Dan has made up his mind.
