contend

Chapter 449
Although Jiang Wei returned to Chengdu, he was very concerned about the situation in Guanzhong.

Every three days, there must be news from the front line.

"Could it be that Yang Zheng really wants to attack Chang'an?" Huang Chong said.

"Wang Ji is a veteran general of Cao Wei. If Yang Zheng doesn't fight with him, he can only attack Chang'an first and attract Wang Ji's help. However, Chang'an has been run by Sima Fu for several years, and it is even more difficult to get backup." Get to know Simafu.

In the early years, Wang Ji was recommended by Sima Yi and moved to the middle school as the servant. He was dismissed for admonishing the Ming Emperor to build a large-scale construction project. He was later promoted by Cao Shuang to serve as the prefect of Anfeng and Yin of Henan. Deng Yang was alienated from the party.

After the change of Gaoping Mausoleum, Wang Ji was conquered by Cao Shuang and was dismissed from office.

But soon he was vigorously promoted by Sima Yi, first as Minister, and then as Jingzhou Governor, and General Jiayanglie.

Yang Zheng rose up in Xiping, and Xia Houba was transferred back to Chengdu.

Although he is not treated well by the bureaucrats of the Shu Kingdom, the Lord of Shu treats him very kindly.

Life is also good. I have a luxury house in Chengdu, married several concubines, and gave birth to two sons and three daughters.

The climate in central Sichuan is quite nourishing, leaving the battlefield, Xia Houba's complexion is ruddy, and he has gained a lot of weight.

"The fierce battle between Yang Zheng and the Sima family is a good thing for the big man! Our army should recharge their batteries, and when they are exhausted, they can go all out and regain Yongliang!" Huang Chong thought far away, and his appetite was also very strong. big.

Xia Houba remained silent.

Jiang Wei didn't seem to be interested either, and said to the people around him, "Why hasn't Gong Xi come yet?"

After Chen Zhi's death, the person who was most likely to be promoted to Shang Shu Ling was Shang Shu Pu She Dong Jue.

He has been in Shangshutai for many years, and has experienced the era of Zhuge Wuhou, Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, and Fei Yi, and his fame and talent are all the top choices.

If Jiang Wei wants to lead the army to "restore the Han Dynasty" in the front, he must have another person like Chen Zhi sit in the rear, accept the emperor's order, neutralize the officials, and take the eunuchs, reconcile internal and external, and support him in the Northern Expedition.

However, it is Zhuge Zhan who has been the most vocal recently.

Not only the court, but also the voice of the people.

Hu Ji, the governor of Hanzhong, and Huo Ge, the governor of Yijiang, also secretly supported them.

If Yan Yu hadn't succeeded Zong Yu as the governor of Yong'an, I am afraid that the three governors of Shu would support Zhuge Zhan.

The Jingzhou family can be seen in the power of the Shu Kingdom.

As for Zhuge Zhan, like Zhuge Ke, he had the reputation of being intelligent when he was young, and later married the princess as his wife, and was awarded the title of riding captain.

Every time there is a decree in the court to benefit the people, the people rush to tell each other: what Gehou did.

Therefore, Zhuge Zhan was young and had no meritorious service, so his reputation spread.

"Reporting to General, Dong Pushe's body is ill, and I refuse to see guests today." The doorman came to report in a hurry.

Jiang Wei frowned, this was obviously an excuse.

This is not a good sign.

Of course, Jiang Wei also understood what was going on.

After the defeat of Duan Gu, Jiang Wei was pushed to the cusp of the storm, and both inside and outside the government and the field, the common people complained. If it hadn't been for the protection of the Shu Lord, Jiang Wei's political career would have come to an end.

Dong Jue's reluctance to see him meant that Dong Jue was avoiding suspicion.

Jiang Wei sighed, suddenly felt unprecedented isolation, how difficult it is to restore the Han Dynasty.

Guanzhong originally had many great opportunities, but they were all buried in the hands of their own people.

In fact, Zhuge Wuhou was also like this back then, with Li Yan behind him.

Not long after, another news from the palace came out, which made Jiang Wei even more upset, and the Lord of Shu added Huang Hao as the captain of Fengche.

In the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this position was a superior official with a rank of two thousand stones, in charge of the emperor's private car. Huo Guang had served as this official, which shows Liu Chan's favor for Huang Hao.

"Your Majesty is appointing Huang Hao as Captain Fengche at this time. Could it be that you are beating the Jingzhou Department?" Xia Houba asked in surprise.

"The candidate to take over as Shang Shuling this time must not be Zhuge Zhan." Huang Chong said firmly.

After Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, and Fei Yi, Hu Ji made serious mistakes, Zong Yu was already old, and the rest was Zhuge Zhan, the son of Marquis Wu.

Based on the Lord Shu's distaste for Jingzhou scholars these years, it is very likely that Shang Shuling is neither Zhuge Zhan nor Dong Jue.

Judging from the current trend, Huang Hao's party is most likely to gain power.

"It seems that I am the only one to persuade His Majesty!" Jiang Wei said.

In fact, there has always been a huge conflict between the emperor and the Jingzhou faction.

The struggle between imperial power and power.

Zhuge Wuhou was in power for 11 years. He was not only the prime minister of Shu, but also the "father" of Liu Chan, the lord of Shu.

Therefore, Xiangquan once suppressed the imperial power.

Fei Yi has repeatedly fought for the position of prime minister, and indirectly he is also fighting to be Liu Chan's "father".

Fei Yi has also been in power for 11 years, and his qualifications and prestige are enough...

So he could only die in the hands of a general inexplicably.

The Jingzhou faction, which was originally in a good situation, suffered a devastating blow, the position of prime minister was not obtained, and even the positions of Shang Shuling and general were divided between Chen Yu and Jiang Wei.

That's why the contradictions in Shu became more and more serious, and finally led to Duan Gu's defeat.

Duan Gu's defeat was just the beginning.

Fufeng County.

The Liangzhou soldiers also set up a stronghold in the river. From Huaili as the rear, they built fortifications along the river to the foot of Chang'an City, posing a posture of attacking.

Sima Fu still couldn't shrink back.

Moreover, Wang Ji was not fooled, and only sent Lu Fan to lead [-] Chinese troops to help defend Chang'an.

Looking at the "Sima" flag planted on the wall of Chang'an, Yang Zheng sneered and said, "Do you really think that someone dare not attack Chang'an? Send an order to call Zhang Te and Zhou Zhi to lead the soldiers to help!"

"Wei!" The soldiers took the order to leave.

Since Wang Ji doesn't move, then surround Chang'an.

The city of Chang'an suddenly became busy, with camps, ravines, antlers, and nearby trees were cut down to make siege equipment.

Might as well get the momentum up first.

With Sima Fu in the city, Yang Zheng really didn't believe that he dared to remain indifferent.

Five days later, Zhang Te led 1 government soldiers to come. In order to create momentum, Zhang Te made a noise, flying sand and rocks everywhere, leading An Ding, men, women and children to follow the army. The man's soldiers were made into a posture of 6 to [-] by him.

Five days later, Zhou Zhi led five thousand soldiers from Longxi Mansion to come.

Tian Zhang and Yuan Shao were also among them. When they saw Yang Zheng's face, they bowed and bowed, "My subordinates greet the general."

"Please stand up, both of you." Yang Zheng personally supported him.

Jiu Yeying secretly investigated for several months, and basically ruled out the possibility of the death of the two.

Both of them were from the common clan, so they didn't have much loyalty to the Sima family.

"Thank you, General!" The two cupped their hands.

As long as they are from the common clan, they are the target of Yang Zheng's wooing.

"Chang'an has a lot of strong soldiers, I wonder if the two of you can break the city?" Yang Zheng asked casually, just to win them over.

Tian Zhang said with emotion: "This subordinate is willing to lead his subordinates as a forward, and win this city for the general."

"Well, the general is indeed brave."

"There is a saying in the art of war, attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top. A few days ago, when Chang'an ran out of food, Sima Fu drove out nearly ten thousand women, children, old and weak. Shout out to the city from all directions, and Chang'an's hearts will be in chaos, even if no one opens the city and surrenders, our army can attack it, and follow the trend!" Yuan Shao said.

Yang Zheng was taken aback, there is something.

He didn't mention it, he himself forgot about it.

Talent is everywhere these days.

"This strategy is very good. If you can break the city, you will be the first." Yang Zheng laughed.

"Thank you, General, my subordinates are less talented and less learned. General Naitian reminded me, so I realized this."

Seeing Tian Zhang's bewildered face next to him, Yang Zheng knew that it was Yuan Shao who was flattering Tian Zhang, and his evaluation of this person was a little higher in his heart.

There are many talented people these days, but most of them are impatient, so they accomplish nothing.

In front of so many generals, Yang Zheng couldn't praise him too much, otherwise he would be making enemies for him.

Some things, just know it well.

"If this city is broken, you two will work together. Meng Guan, you go and pick up the old and weak women and children who were resettled a while ago."

"only!"
