Shuhan

"No!"

Fa Zheng immediately stood up and objected.

"When Your Majesty personally launched the expedition, you had the important task of supervising the country with the Prime Minister. At this time, how can the Prime Minister lead the army to the Eastern Front?"

Zhuge Liang chuckled lightly and said: "Your Majesty has already opened up the situation on the Western Front, severely defeating the Wei Army. Victory is only a matter of time. On the Eastern Front in Guanhan, the Wei Army's offensive is swift and fierce. Sima Yi is as cunning as a fox. Neither Zhao Yun nor Wei Yan are opponents. As for the Xiang Chong is too young to open up the situation. "

After talking about it, Zhuge Liang's expression gradually became serious.

"The latest battle report from the front is that Huayin City was captured by the Wei army. Now the situation in Henan and Hebei is not optimistic. If there are no reinforcements to support, I am afraid that Tongguan is at risk of being lost."

Fa Zheng's expression remained serious.

"There are so many capable people in the court. Why do we need the Prime Minister to go there in person?"

Fa Zheng still refused.

"Yun Chang is too old to lead the army to conquer personally. Yi De is not a wise general, and it is difficult to compete with Sima Yi. Apart from these two people, who can conquer the people?"

Wu Yi?

No.

As for others, their qualifications are even lower.

Zhang Fei was buckled by Zhuge Liang, but there was no strange color on his face.

He, Zhang Fei, was convinced by Zhuge Kongming's ability. This was what Zhuge Liang had gained on the battlefield, and he, Zhang Yide, would not get angry just because of Zhuge Liang's words.

"The Prime Minister must lead the army without any indispensable. Tongguan is very important, and there is no room for failure. What's wrong? The Prime Minister is gone, isn't there still the Queen Mother, isn't there still the Shangshu Ling? If it doesn't work, there are still my second brother and me. This There can be no chaos in the world!”

"This"

Fazheng looked bitter.

You're in charge of logistics, why don't you just leave and leave this mess to me?

Who can stand this!

"If the Prime Minister leads the troops, who will be in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Zhuge Liang chuckled and said, "Shi Maliang, the Prime Minister's director, can take charge of important matters."

Ma Liang had made great achievements in Wuling for a long time. After Wuling surrendered, Liu Chan also recalled him to the capital to serve as a long history officer in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhuge Liang admired Ma Liang very much, even more than he admired Ma Di.

This is also normal.

Ma Liang's ability in all aspects exceeded Ma Su. Later Zhuge Liang valued Ma Su. It can only be said that the fire in Yiling was too big, and all the subsequent ministers such as Ma Liang were burned.

It is true that Shu has no generals, so Liao Hua becomes the vanguard.

Give Ma Su a chance to search for the national destiny of Shu Han.

If Ma Liang were in Ma Su's position at the time, would he still lose his street pavilion?

"Ma Liang, with white eyebrows, is qualified for this job."

Fazheng sighed, knowing that Zhuge Liang had made up his mind.

He no longer forced himself.

"This matter needs to be reported to His Majesty first and approved by His Majesty before it can be done."

"Shang Shuling, there is no need to worry. The envoy has been sent out. I estimate that in ten days, we will get news from His Majesty."

Have you sent an envoy early?

You, Zhuge Kongming, turned out to have had a plan for a long time.

Hey ~
In the end, the important responsibility of Chang'an was shouldered by Fazheng.

"The North and South Forbidden Army, which one are you going to choose, Prime Minister?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's the Northern Army."

The Southern Army is now being used by His Majesty, while the Northern Army has been left out in the cold.

But how can the glory of the Northern Army be obscured?

They followed the late emperor and started the rebellion in his humble beginnings. They have gone through countless battles. It was just right for them to go and deal with Sima Yi this time!
"The Wei army has many horses, so bring all the cavalry from the Northern army over, collect the mules and horses in the city, and send them into the army together."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "There is no need for too many cavalry. One thousand is enough, and another 10,000 infantry are enough."

Your Majesty took away a large number of cavalry during the Western Expedition. If he takes away the cavalry again this time, there will be no mobile troops left in Chang'an City.

This is not okay.

If something happens, it will be a disaster for Chang'an.

"If the Prime Minister leads the troops this time, will he be sure?"

Behind the curtain, Queen Mother Wu's voice finally came out.

Although she had the power to supervise the country, she knew in her heart that she had little say in the decision-making of important matters.

But she couldn't influence the decision-making, but she could put herself in the emperor's shoes and ask questions.

"To report to the Queen Mother, I am leading the army not to attack the city, but to defend Tongguan and protect the eastern front from being breached by the Wei army. I am fully confident in accomplishing this goal."

Sima Yi?
Of course it is called Bada.

But I, Zhuge Liang, am still called Wolong!
Who is afraid of who?

"In this case, after His Majesty's edict arrives, I will fully support the Prime Minister in leading the army."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." As a result, the court meeting quickly approved Zhuge Liang's decision to lead the army.

The next step is to prepare for the war and wait for Liu Chan's reply.

At this moment, Liu Chan was already at the Han army camp in front of Longguan.

As for Yong County.

As news of the Han army spread, the morale of the Wei army in the city gradually declined.

Even Cao Zhen himself was a little suspicious.

Especially after the Han army transported the prisoners of the Wei army to the city to speak out, Cao Zhen in Yong County finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

Damn it!
Cao Zhang really didn't lie to him. Did Liu Gongsi really break through the Wei army camp?
For the Wei State, the situation suddenly became corrupt.

Cao Zhen now saw the scene of abundant supplies in Yongxian City, and he did not feel the slightest bit happy.

What are these things for?

He was trapped in Yong County.

The Han army did not attack the city, but only besieged it. After Longguan was captured, he became even more of a turtle in the urn in Yong County.

No matter how much supplies you have, there will be a time when you run out of them.

What is needed most to defend the city is hope. If there is no hope, no matter how much food and grass is in the city, it will not stop the city from being destroyed.

Gotta break out!
However, more than ten days have passed. More and more reinforcements from the Han army are coming. Fortresses have been built on all sides of Yong County. Thousands of people have broken through several times, but they have all been repulsed. The Wei army in Yong County city has Morale has hit rock bottom.

How to break the situation is already an important issue on the table for Cao Zhen.

Therefore, in Liu Chan's eyes, Cao Zhen and Guo Huai's troops who were trapped in Yong County were already turtles in the urn. As long as they were not allowed to escape to Longxi, they would be fine.

Wait for him to free up his hands and deal with them casually.

The Han military camp outside Longguan.

In the dragon tent.

"How is the situation in Longguanzhong?"

Liu Chan looked at the huge map in the dragon tent and asked behind his back.

Zhang Bao stood up immediately and said: "The Wei army shot and killed the Wei army prisoners who went to open the door. There is no other news in Long Pass."

This Hao Zhao is so cruel!

The Wei army that died at Long Pass was routed, probably a thousand people died.

To be so cruel to one's own people, it's no wonder that in another time and space, a mere thousand people were able to block Zhuge Liang's day and night onslaught of tens of thousands of people in Chencang.

In terms of defending the city, he is indeed capable.

"There are no surrenders in Longguan City?"

Hao Zhao killed so many people, how can the morale of the army improve?
Relatives and friends were killed, which made him somewhat resentful of Hao Zhao who gave orders.

"I heard that Hao Zhao had strict military orders in the city and killed many people. There is no news yet."

A reign of terror can shock people for a while, but not for a long time.

There is always a moment when people's hearts fall apart.

No need to say more, just wait.

At this time, there was a detective passing on the news.

"Report!"

The messenger with the command flag on his back knelt down outside the tent.

"Your Majesty, this is a report from Chang'an, a letter from the Prime Minister himself!"

The report is a battle report on the Eastern Front, and the autographed letter is naturally Zhuge Liang's letter.

Liu Chan took the battle report and Zhuge Liang's letter and opened it to read.

Battle report content:

In the eastern border of Guanzhong, Sima Yi of Wei took charge of the commander's seal and led his troops to attack Fengling. After several days of attacking, the city was not broken, so he changed his strategy and sent his troops northward to cross the river.

After only half a day's journey, they raided Pubanjin's camp. The enemy was caught off guard. The Wei army defeated them and took advantage of the situation to surround Puban. Everyone in the city was in danger.

After that, the Wei army went non-stop and raided Huayin, setting fire to its food and grass, cutting off the enemy's logistics routes, and making the situation on the east-Kankan front line precarious.

The content of Zhuge Liang’s autographed letter is:
Your Majesty, Zhuge Liang, would like to write this letter to Your Majesty:
The situation in the eastern border of Guan Dynasty changed suddenly. Sima Yi led his army to invade. He broke through Pubanjin and besieged Puban. He even burned Huayin's grain and grass and cut off our army's supplies. Now the Kanto front line is in danger, and the imperial court is in urgent need of sending troops for reinforcements.

I am well aware that the war is urgent and cannot be delayed, so I have requested your Majesty's order to personally lead the reinforcements to the Guanzhong Front to relieve the urgent need. I will do my best to win with wisdom and defeat the enemy with courage, vowing to repel Sima Yi and protect the security of Guanzhong.

I hope your Majesty will make a quick decision and send troops to reinforce the situation to ensure the peace of the country. I am very grateful. I will definitely fulfill my mission and make contributions to the country.

Your Majesty, I respectfully request your Majesty’s Holy Judgment. Your Majesty, Zhuge Liang, bows your head and bows a hundred times.

After reading the letter, Liu Chan sighed.

Then he came out with a fighting smile on his face.

"The heroes in this world are really like the crucian carp crossing the river. Just after you sing, I will appear on the stage. I agree to the Prime Minister's request."

Sima Yi took the lead.

Who else will appear next? (End of chapter)
