Great Han Empire

Chapter 935 Troubled Times Heroic Chapter Wins Central Plains
That night, Li Hong and Feng Xue kept talking late at night.

Feng Xue was very excited when she heard that she could go back to the desert, but when she heard the purpose of this trip, she lost her smile and quietly snuggled up to Li Hong, listening to Li Hong's words quietly.

The year before last, for the war in the Central Plains, Xian Yufu united with various tribes of the Hu tribe to drive the central and eastern Xianbei to the Great Xianbei Mountain.Last year, Kebixiong was caressed, surrendered to the big man, and brought the tribe back to Huoyunyuan and Wuhou Qinshui.This year, the imperial court intends to recruit Kobe Bear to go on an expedition to Hexi to ease the situation in western Xinjiang, so as to buy enough time for the army to conquer Luoyang and take the Central Plains. .

In the past few years, the northern border army has fought repeatedly. Not only did the main force go south, but they also recruited Hu cavalry from outside the Great Wall to help in the battle.As the northern border army conquered more and more lands and battlefields, the contradiction between the lack of troops in the northern border army and the lack of wealth in Hebei became more and more prominent. As a result, the imperial court's control over the desert outside the Great Wall became weaker and weaker. .

There is only one way to reverse the current unfavorable situation, and that is to conquer Luoyang and take all of the Central Plains.

The Central Plains unites the whole world. Since ancient times, the rise and fall of all dynasties have depended on the struggle for the Central Plains.To advance the world, the Central Plains is the battleground; to stabilize the world, the Central Plains is the center of control.If you don't occupy the Central Plains, you won't be able to win the world, and if you don't consolidate the Central Plains, you won't be able to achieve long-term peace and stability in the world.Today, Dahan's great cause of ZTE is reaching this critical moment.If you win, the world will be unified; if you lose, the country will be overthrown.

"Our earliest strategy to pacify the world was drawn up with Luoyang as the capital and the Central Plains as the foundation. But after the eldest princess decided to make Chang'an the capital, the strategy of pacifying the world changed fundamentally. During the Guanzhong battle, the reason why I repeatedly asked for preservation The purpose of Han Sui and the Xiliang army is to quickly form a pattern of calming the world." Li Hong embraced the wind and snow with one hand, and spread out the map on the table with the other, "After the great Han established Chang'an as his capital, the offensive and defensive The center of gravity will move to the northwest as a whole. At this time, the stability of the western border is far more important than the stability of the northern border. If the western border is stable, the army can quickly occupy Luoyang and take the Central Plains, and then a part of the army will go south from Longxi and Hanzhong to capture Yizhou , one from Luoyang went south to attack Jingzhou, and when the two armies converged on the Yangtze River, the rebels such as Yuan Shao and Liu Biao were bound to be defeated, while the rebels such as Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Zhou Yu completely lost their resistance. Surrender was their only choice, so The world will be peaceful within three to five years."

"Han Sui's sudden death disrupted our deployment. Today's Qiang rebellion in western Xinjiang made the imperial court lose the opportunity to pacify the world. Our pace of pacifying the world will be greatly slowed down. The time to pacify the world will be postponed by at least three years." About a year."

"Now our top priority is to conquer Luoyang and lay the foundation for pacifying the world. If we want to conquer Luoyang, we must first ensure the stability of Western Xinjiang. Judging from the current situation in Western Xinjiang, stability is impossible, and we can only settle for the next best thing. , Keeping the Qiang people out of the gate of Guanzhong. Among the Qiang people who have troubled the western frontiers, the Hexi Qiang army is the most powerful. As long as the Hexi Qiang army is dragged to the north bank of the Yellow River, the safety of Guanzhong will be guaranteed.”

"After we took Luoyang, we had two choices. One is to go west to Liangzhou to stabilize the western border, and then follow the original strategy to capture Yizhou and control the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and then implement a two-pronged strategy to capture Jingzhou. Although Cao Cao , Sun Quan and others will use this period of time to increase their strength, but the general situation is gone, and stubborn resistance is nothing but a dead end. The second is to temporarily abandon the western borders and attack Jianghuai and Jingzhou first. The most worrying thing about implementing this strategy is the safety of Guanzhong. Threatened by the Qiang people, we had to give up the war against rebellion in the south and defend the capital. In addition, there are two natural barriers on the Jianghuai battlefield, the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River. Yizhou, after we have pacified Jianghuai and Jingzhou, the army will have to fight on the two most difficult battlefields in Yizhou and Xiliang. In order to defeat Gongsun Shu of Bashu and stabilize Xiliang, the emperor spent more than ten years, which greatly delayed the progress of ZTE's great cause. That is to say, when we are all dead, our children may still be on the battlefield for ZTE. Great cause and bloody battle."

"Comparing the two, of course, stabilizing the western border first is the most beneficial to ZTE's great cause." Li Hong looked at Fengxue who seemed to understand, and said solemnly, "So, this time you go north to the desert, no matter what, you must persuade Kirby to go out to fight. Hexi."

The mountains, rivers and rivers of the great man have no concept in Feng Xue's mind, and she doesn't quite understand Li Hong's strategy to calm the world, but Li Hong's last sentence "When we are all dead, our children will still be fighting bloody battles on the battlefield." She was very shocked, and she agreed without hesitation, "I will go to the desert right away, but Hexi is too far away from Wuhou Qinshui, and Kirby Bear may not agree. He is now the king of Xianbei in the eastern desert, and he must do everything for the tribe." Think about it, if the tribal leaders object to the expedition, he probably has nothing to do."

"Tell him, if he doesn't want to go, I'll let Fu Luohan go." Li Hong said, "Going to Hexi doesn't have to be a war, just drag the Hexi Qiang people to the north bank of the Yellow River. He is big, but he has made great achievements. Not only can he be rewarded by the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but he can also become famous in the desert. Fame, no meritorious deeds, over the past two years, he has overestimated himself and fought against us. As a result, we have driven him to wander around, his prestige is getting lower and lower, and now his position in the Xianbei in the middle and east is already in jeopardy. Given time, his I am not at all surprised that King Xianbei of the East was replaced by Mijia."

Fengxue hesitated for a while, and asked tentatively: "Brother, if Kebi Xiong rushes to Hexi with his cavalry, it will take at least one or two years before he can return to Wuhou Qinshui. His relationship with Fu Luo Han has always been tense. If Fu Luo Han Han took the opportunity..."

"Shemoci will look at Fu Luohan."

"Shemoci is already old, if he dies suddenly..."

"There is Karasuma Renlou in Baishan."

"What if Tadun in Liaodong goes north to attack?"

"Xiaolan (Li Su) and Gongsun Xu are both in Liaodong, so I don't dare to stir up trouble." Li Hong stretched out his hand to pat Fengxue's back, and said in a low voice, "Besides, I want you to go to Fuyu Country Let’s take a trip to appease Wei Qiutai on behalf of the big man.”

Feng Xue was stunned for a moment, her face showing surprise, and then she shook her head sadly, "Then I won't be back until next year, I..."

"You have to work hard, for the sake of the big man, but also for the children." Li Hong hugged Fengxue's delicate body, and said softly, "Don't worry about the children, Xiaoyu will take good care of them."

"I miss Xiu'er." With tears in her eyes, Feng Xue begged softly, "I want to take Xiu'er back to the desert."

"Okay." Li Hong hugged Fengxue tightly, and said repeatedly, "I will ask Xiaoyu to send Xiu'er to Handan immediately, and then you mother and daughter will go north together. Xiu'er has grown up so much, it's time to go home and have a look." .”

Lieutenant Jifeng of Hu Qi School, Zhonglang Yanzhi in charge of the General's Mansion, and Cao Renran, the sub-supervisor of the General's Mansion, took a thousand black leopards to protect the General's wife and hurried northward in the wind and snow.

At the end of April, the eldest princess decreed that Feng Xue, the wife of the great general, would be the governor and festival-holder, and the right servant of the Zhongshu, the deputy of Tian Yu, would go north to the desert to appease the various tribes of the Hu tribe, and call the eastern Xianbei king Kebi Xiong to go to Hexi and make a tour. Liaodong, comfort Fuyu, Yilou Gaogouli and other places.At the same time, he urged Xian Yuyin, the general who conquered the North, Li Su, the governor of Liaodong Dufu, and the governor of Youzhou, to send troops to protect the safety of Fengxue.

The former governor of Youzhou, Wang Ze, did not want to return to Jinyang for the time being, but stayed in Youzhou and accompanied Fengxue on a tour of the desert.

At the end of April, the left chariot general Xianyu Fu urgently told the Taiwei Xun You, the right chariot general Xu Rong, and Liangzhou governor Jia Xu that the general's wife, Fengxue, had gone north to the desert to recruit reinforcements. Please, my lords, stick to Hanyang and ensure the safety of Guanzhong.

At the end of April, Yizhou, Chengdu.

In the middle of this month, Liu Bei led his army to break through Fucheng and storm Mianzhu.Mianzhu made Fei Shi feel anxious again and again.Liu Zhang sent Sima Wang Chong to lead an army to support Mianzhu, but after a period of rest for the Western Expeditionary Army, the soldiers were full of energy, morale was high, and food, grass and military equipment were sufficient.Liu Bei's army is still eighty miles away from Chengdu.

At the end of this month, Liu Pan, Zhao Wei, and Kuai Liang broke through Wuyang and attacked Guangdu.Guangdu is only thirty miles away from Chengdu, and the situation is extremely critical.Liu Zhang urgently sent Sima Zhang Ren to lead an army to support him.
Chengdu was about to fall into the siege of the Western Expeditionary Army. Liu Zhang was terrified. While asking for help from the counties and counties, he hurriedly summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

Zhizhong Wang Mou, Biejia Zhang Song, Zhu Bo Huangquan, Chang Shi Du Wei, Wuguan Zhouqun, Gongcao Lilaimin, Chengdu Ling Dong He and other high-ranking officials gathered together to argue endlessly.

Zhizhong Wang Mou thought that people should be sent to discuss peace immediately.

There were three armies attacking Yizhou this time, namely the rebel army of Zhao Wei and Pang Yi, the Jingzhou army of Liu Pi and Kuai Liang, and the Yuzhou army of Liu Bei.Zhao Wei betrayed Liu Zhang to dominate Bashu, and Liu Biao had long coveted Jingzhou. These two armies were enemies.Liu Bei has been wandering back and forth in the Central Plains, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and other places. His reason for coming is currently unknown, but he is the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Army, and he must have come under the imperial edict of the emperor. That is to say, he may have no idea about the situation in Yizhou. known.Wang Mou said, Your Excellency is a minister of the clan, and Liu Bei is also a minister of the clan. They used to be a family. Compared with Zhao Wei, a traitor, Liu Bei believed in your words more.Your Excellency explained clearly the reasons before and after Zhao Wei's rebellion, and I believe that Lord Liu Bei will make a correct judgment.As long as Liu Bei can be persuaded and pulled to our side, the situation in Yizhou will be reversed immediately, that rebel Zhao Wei will surely die without a place to bury him, and Liu Biao's plot to seize Yizhou by taking advantage of the chaos will undoubtedly be exposed.In this way, Chengdu is worry-free.

Wang Mou's suggestion was approved by Du Wei, Lai Min and others, but Zhang Song and Huang Quan firmly disagreed.

Whether it is Liu Biao or Liu Bei, they are all heroes in the world.If Zhao Wei is a despicable grass dog and Liu Biao is a wolf who only waits for people to eat, then Liu Bei is a very hungry tiger.Shaking hands with Liu Bei to make peace and relying on Liu Bei to keep Chengdu is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. In the end, this vicious tiger will eat up the bones and skin.

Zhang Song said, we once asked for help from the Son of Heaven in Nanyang and Yuan Shao in Luoyang, but what happened?Yuan Shao married Zhang Lu of Hanzhong and secretly helped him seek Yizhou.The emperor of Nanyang was controlled by Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others. They sent a large army to the west to help the rebellious Zhao Wei attack Chengdu.Now that the army of the Western Expedition has arrived at the city, this still doesn't explain the problem, can't you make your lords sober?

"Where is the emperor of the Han Dynasty? Where is the court of the Han Dynasty? Where are our reinforcements?" Zhang Song pointed to the north and said loudly, "The emperor of the Han Dynasty is in Jinyang, the court of the Han Dynasty is in Hebei, and our reinforcements are in Guanzhong. We should unite with the counties and counties in all regions to persist tenaciously and defend Chengdu, and at the same time send people to Longxi from the Yinping Trail, rush from Xijiang to Guanzhong to ask for help, and from Guanzhong to Jinyang to meet the emperor of Han."

Liu Zhang was dizzy from Zhang Song's yelling, and sat there without speaking for a long time.

"My lord, Chengdu has an army of [-] troops, a mountain of food, and loyal officials. As long as your lord is determined, we will not only be able to defend Chengdu, but also have a better chance of defeating the enemy." Zhang Ren, who hastily returned from the front line of Guangdu, was excited. He said, "Although the enemy is attacking from two fronts, they do not have an absolute advantage in terms of strength, and the food and supplies they carry are very limited. As long as we hold on for half a year, the enemy's food and grass will be cut off and we will be in a desperate situation."

"There is a lot of grain in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao will send it to Bashu in a steady stream." Gongcao Lilaimin disagreed with Zhang Ren's words, "Master Zhang said that the enemy can only last for half a year. What is the basis?"

"Although Yizhou is far away from the Central Plains, we know more or less what happened in the Central Plains in the past two years." Zhang Ren explained, "After the end of the Guanzhong War last year, Luoyang was surrounded by the Northern Xinjiang Legion. It is only now that troops have joined forces with Zhao Wei to attack Chengdu, because they were dragged down by the Central Plains battlefield. This year, the northern army will definitely attack Luoyang. After Luoyang falls, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao can only retreat to Jingzhou, and then? Then where will they flee? Yizhou, they can only escape to Yizhou to temporarily escape the pursuit of the northern army. This is the real purpose of Liu Bei and Liu Pan leading the army to attack and kill Yizhou. Mr. Wang just talked about making peace with Liu Bei and using Liu Bei's power to kill To kill Zhao Wei and keep Chengdu is actually a strategy of self-destruction."

"According to common sense, after the end of the spring plowing, the Northern Xinjiang Army will recruit a large number of civilians to attack Luoyang. Once the Luoyang War breaks out, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao will devote their main force to the outer battlefields of Luoyang to help the Luoyang defenders hold on to the city. , They don’t have enough food and grass to support the Yizhou battlefield. You adults can think about it, why did Liu Bei brave the severe cold and enter Bashu with his army? Why was he so impatient that he went north to launch an attack in the first month? Obviously, they were rushing for time. Therefore, as long as we stick to Chengdu, Liu Bei must be defeated in the end."

Wang Mou, Du Wei and others immediately refuted it.

Zhang Song's method is not feasible.One is that Li Hong killed the king and usurped the tyrant (jian), the chief culprit who overthrew the great man, and he must not vote.Second, distant water cannot quench thirst. When the envoy traveled thousands of miles to Guanzhong, it would probably be winter, and the journey was difficult and dangerous, and there was no guarantee of safety. If the envoy had an accident, Chengdu would be over.

Zhang Ren's method is also not feasible.What Zhang Ren said was guesswork.What if the Northern Xinjiang Army will attack the outskirts of Luoyang this year instead of Luoyang City?Luoyang City is too strong. If the Northern Frontier Army is not well prepared, they will not dare to attack, lest they be dragged down by Luoyang City.Liu Biao didn't need to devote all his main force when the Northern Xinjiang army attacked the outskirts of Luoyang, so that he could keep sending food and grass to Bashu, and Chengdu still could not escape the fate of defeat.

The two sides were at odds, and Chengdu made Dong He think of a countermeasure.

Liu Bei must have come to capture Chengdu. He will not withdraw from Bashu easily. In addition, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong may take the opportunity to go south and join forces with them to attack Chengdu. Therefore, it is difficult for us to hold on to Chengdu, and we must reverse the situation as soon as possible.The opportunity for us to reverse the situation lies in the contradiction between the three armies of Liu Bei, Liu Pan and Zhao Wei.Zhao Wei is our mortal enemy, he must be killed.Liu Pan is Liu Biao's nephew. Because of the past enmity between the two sides, we can't gain trust with each other, so only Liu Bei can use it.

After the Western Expeditionary Army captured Yizhou, Liu Bei could only get one county at most.Liu Biao sent troops and food, of course he had to firmly control Yizhou.Zhao Wei will obviously be killed by the two together, and no one will stay with the duplicitous villain.In this way, the situation is very clear. We told Liu Bei that if you help us kill Zhao Wei and repel Liu Pan, we will give you half of Yizhou.Of course, it is false to give him half of Yizhou, but it is true to join forces to attack Hanzhong.After defeating Hanzhong, killing Zhang Lu, and stabilizing Yizhou, the rest is very simple.

"How easy? Liu Bei will stretch out his head and chop it off for us?" Zhang Song laughed.

"Just now you said that Liu Bei is a fierce tiger. Will this tiger be willing to stay in Yizhou? He has fought in the Central Plains for more than ten years, and he will be willing to die in the mountains? Will he watch the country collapse and the big man collapse? No, Never..." Dong He said very confidently, "People like Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei are all outstanding people in the world. Just a resting place."

"You mean, he wants to attack Guanzhong?" Zhang Ren asked in surprise.

"Nowadays the country is in turmoil, and the great man is crumbling. As the subjects of the great man, we should stand up and fight bloody battles to revive the great man." Dong He waved his hands and said excitedly, "We will go to Guanzhong together with Liu Bei. Fighting to save the country, but also sending Liu Bei out of Yizhou, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?"

What Dong He said made Liu Zhang's blood boil, and he stood up immediately and said, "Brother Youzai, please go to Luocheng to pay a visit to Liu Bei, and say that we are willing to fight to the death to save the country."

=
Liu Bei tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, and looked at Dong He opposite him with piercing eyes, without the slightest expression on his face.He has been very worried about the war situation in Yizhou.If you kill Liu Zhang, you will offend a group of people. If you kill Zhao Wei, you will offend another group of people.Without the support of money and food from Yizhou, the West Road battlefield could not be opened up.

Liu Bei was very unfamiliar with Yizhou. He didn't have the confidence to quickly stabilize Yizhou, and Liu Biao was bound to win Yizhou, which gave him the idea of ​​leaving Bashu and entering Guanzhong as soon as possible.His world is in the Central Plains, not in the mountains far away from the Central Plains, but to occupy Guanzhong, he needs a stable rear with sufficient money and food, otherwise it will be difficult for him to fight against the Northern Xinjiang Army, so he is worried and helpless.

Liu Zhang's letter and Dong He's generous statement wiped away Liu Bei's worries for several months. He keenly grasped the crux of the situation in Yizhou and quickly formulated a strategy to stabilize Yizhou in the shortest possible time.

"Why should I trust you?" Liu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly and asked coldly.

"Master General and Lord Zhou Mu are both relatives of the Liu family. This is enough when the country is in danger." Dong He said, "Does Lord General want to see the great Han country fall into the hands of a barbarian?"

"I've heard this kind of talk too much." Liu Bei sneered, "Give me the evidence that I can see."

"Your Excellency, you can lead the army south overnight and approach the city of Chengdu." Dong He cupped his hands and said, "Let's get rid of all the passes."

"Hmph..." Liu Bei's eyes showed mockery, "If Mr. Liu is sincere, please come and see me in person."

Dong He's face changed in horror.

"Tomorrow evening, see you in Luocheng."

At the beginning of May, Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass is adjacent to Qinglong Mountain in the south and Mang Mountain in the north.The city walls on both sides of the pass twist and turn, reaching the Yellow River in the north and Luoshui in the south, stretching for hundreds of miles, like the Great Wall.

The Northern Xinjiang Army arrived at Guanxia one after another, and the camp was built according to the valley and water, stretching for dozens of miles, which was very spectacular.

On the third day of the lunar new year, Qu Yi, Yang Feng, Zhang Baiqi, Zhang He and other generals of the northern army gathered on a hill outside the pass to discuss the deployment of the attack.

"The general has repeatedly stated that there is enough time for this attack, and we should use siege equipment as much as possible to launch a strong attack to minimize casualties." Qu Yi pointed to the Xiongguan in front of him and said loudly, "Don't look at it as solid, in front of me, it It's just a pile of rocks, and I smash it into powder in a second."

The generals were used to Qu Yi's tone of voice, so they laughed it off.

"My lord, the front chariots, rushing chariots, resentment, repair oars, crossbows, and stone cannons have all been transported to the front line, and the soldiers are ready to attack, and we are waiting for your lord's order." Sun Qin asked with a smile, "When will the attack begin?"

"The thunderbolt car hasn't arrived yet, so wait." Qu Yi shook his hand and said, "During the Chinese New Year, I heard Lord Yin Si say that this kind of thunderbolt car can shoot about [-] catties of stones, and the range is also longer than that of the past catapults." The car is dozens of steps away, and when a stone hits the ground, it can sink several feet into the ground, which is amazing. At the beginning of the war, we will first gather a hundred stone cannons and bombard it for a day."

"The terrain here is narrow, and the attack surface is too small." Yang Feng shook his head regretfully, "If the terrain is spacious, we can have [-] strong archers shoot at the same time."

"When you arrive in Luoyang, you can just let 10 people shoot at the same time." Gao Lan said with a smile, "In order to be the first to enter Luoyang and grab the first prize, I think we should speed up the attack. From the tone of the general It can be heard that he pinned his hope of breaking through the periphery of Luoyang on the northern and southern armies."

"Zilong's army is the main force, and it is reasonable to break through the Hulao." Qu Yi pointed to Zhang He, Gao Lan and the others and said, "I warn you, don't put the lives of the soldiers at risk for the sake of attacking. The Guanzhong War is over. In the end, although the general did not publicly criticize us, we had a plan in our hearts, and that battle was not fought well. The current tense situation in western Xinjiang is directly related to our failure to fight the Guanzhong War. We should not make mistakes this time. The general told us to fight slowly, so we will fight slowly. A siege is different from a field battle, and you need to use your brains more."

"Is there any news on the Yingchuan battlefield?" Zhang Baiqi suddenly asked, "Has General Hutou blocked the last passage in Luoyang?"

"It's been more than a month, and the tiger head hasn't captured Luyang. It's unbelievable." Qu Yi waved his hand angrily, "When I get to Luoyang, I want to ask him if he eats too much at home during the Chinese New Year, and his brain is ruined." gone."

"Yingchuan's opponents on the battlefield are Liu Bei, Kuai Yue, Wenpin, Zhu Ling, and the brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi. We have fought together for several years and know the basics. It is not easy to eat them all at once." Zhang He He shook his head and said, "In my opinion, the battle in Yingchuan depends on strength in the end. Whoever has the strongest troops can control the situation of the battle, and there is no chance for opportunism."

"If Liu Biao recruits Yingchuan, Hutou will probably be in trouble." Yang Feng said worriedly.

The generals looked up at the mountains in the south and remained silent.

"Brother Jingsheng has finally increased his troops." Yuan Shao stood on the "Wangqi" platform in Hangu Pass, smiling and in a very good mood. "Now we can not only defend Luyang, but also regain Yingchuan."

"The northern army doesn't know that we have increased our troops to the Yingchuan battlefield. If brother Yidu can take advantage of this opportunity and hit Yan Liang unexpectedly, the battle will definitely be reversed." ? Is there any news from Yizhou?"

"There is good news." Yuan Shao nodded, "The Western Expeditionary Army has been divided into two groups, and it is progressing smoothly. In March, Lord Liu Bei arrived in Fucheng, and Lord Liu Pan arrived in Wuyang, which is very close to Chengdu." Then he looked Looking at the camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army in the opposite valley, he frowned slightly, "Now, it depends on whether they can successfully capture Chengdu."

"My lord, how is the battle going on in Mengjin?" Duan Yan asked with concern, "Have you ever found the main force of the northern border army?"

"I have been to Mengjin for the last three times, and I have not found anything unusual." Yuan Shao's face was worried, "Sima Yi is very cunning, every day he beats gongs and drums under the pass, and it looks like a crowd of people, and the momentum is frightening, but it turns out that there is only thunder but no rain. There was no attack. The soldiers on the pass were very tired, and their defenses against the northern army were getting more and more lax. I have already warned Han Qiong, telling him to cheer up and not let Sima Yi take advantage of the loopholes."

"Has Sima Yi finished repairing the Heyang Bridge?"

"It's just a boat bridge. It will be finished soon." Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment, then said doubtfully, "What the hell is this kid Sima Yi doing? Shipping something in secret."

Gao Rou, Duan Yan, Wang Xiu and the others looked at each other in surprise.
