Farmer of Shu Han

Naturally, Sima Yi couldn't hide the large-scale military mobilization in Jingzhou, Wu.

Moreover, there was a secret agent who spread the news of the barbarian rebellion in the south of Jingzhou at an extremely fast speed.

Knowing that at this critical moment, there was a large-scale barbarian rebellion in the south of Jingzhou in the state of Wu, Sima Yi's first reaction was not to be happy, but to feel a chill down his back.

That His Majesty in Luoyang has such a profound layout?

This time, the news from the south of Jingzhou reached him so quickly. If he hadn't been prepared, Sima Yi would not believe it.

In addition, at this critical moment, the rebellion of the Wuxi Man in Wuling County happened to divert most of the attention of Jingzhou, the state of Wu.

At that time, I can no longer lead the army westward without any scruples.

Is this really a coincidence?

Thinking of Liu Ye's evaluation of Cao Rui, Sima Yi couldn't help but sigh:

"The first emperor of Qin and Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty? Our Majesty really has great ambitions."

Thinking of Cao Rui's various deeds since he ascended the throne, Sima Yi's eyes showed some unknown meaning:

"It's just that the abilities of Qin Shihuang and Han Xiaowu are too cruel, let alone your majesty's intellect?"

He sat there, his expression fluctuating, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long time, he shouted loudly: "Come on!"

"Does the general have something to order?"

The guard at the door entered and asked respectfully.

"Pass down the order to let the Jingzhou navy intensify its efforts to supervise the construction of boats. Anyone who dares to neglect will be dealt with by military law!"

"promise!"

The news from the south of Jingzhou reached Sima Yi at the same time as it reached Luoyang at the fastest speed.

After Cao Rui got the news, he immediately issued a military order to Cao Zhen in Chang'an.

Tens of thousands of Wei troops in Guanzhong, who had been preparing nervously for nearly a month, poured towards Hanzhong like a mountain torrent along the various passages between Guanzhong and Hanzhong.

Cao Zhen's main force, known as 300,000, set off directly from Chang'an and headed towards the entrance of Ziwu Valley.

The Wei army guarding Chencang and Pass City also took action at the same time.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty who was still in the old capital, thinking about the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong, had already started to build Lecheng, Hancheng, Jincheng and other Guancheng at the intersection of the road from Hanzhong to Guanzhong last year.

One is to prevent the Wei army from aggressively invading, and the other is to facilitate the subsequent northern expedition from Hanzhong to Guanzhong.

At the same time, he not only sent many sentries on the various roads leading to Guanzhong, but even built cottages in dangerous places.

The Wei army in Chencang and Chengcheng not only had to seal the Taniguchi of Chencang Road and Baoxie Road, but also sent forwards to clean up the Han Guoguan villages on all the pavilion roads.

Wei Jun's sweeping action quickly triggered the Han State's warning network, and the Wei Jun's change in Guanzhong was immediately passed on to Zhuge Liang.

The sentries from all walks of life were in a hurry, Zhuge Liang frowned.

Even if he is as talented as others, he cannot make a judgment on the main force of the Wei army without the support of sufficient information.

Although the Battle of Longyou won a big victory in the end, it is undeniable that Wei Jun almost reversed the situation.

Whether it was Lueyang's fall, or Jieting's almost fall.

Even Wei Yan's Northern Expedition had no great achievements, and even Zhao Yun was forced to return to Hanzhong by Cao Zhen.

In addition, Wu Yi's march was too slow, which caused Shangyu and Linwei to have enough time to deal with it, and was dragged down by a considerable part of their troops, etc. These things all exposed the flaws of the Han army.

As a negative example, Feng Yong's two battles of Longguan and Jieting, as well as Zhuge Liang's own battle of Xiabian and Longxi.

These things finally made the prime minister understand one thing:

It is not that the more soldiers the better, but the more refined the better.

So after the Battle of Longyou, for more than two years, Zhuge Liang has been selecting good generals in Hanzhong, performing military exercises, and at the same time reducing a considerable part of the old and weak.

Compared with the first Northern Expedition, the number of Hanzhong soldiers at this time, even with the 20,000 that Li Feng brought over from Jiangzhou, was only around 60,000.

On the other hand, the Wei army, in addition to the main force of 300,000 who entered Hanzhong from Ziwu Valley, Baoxiedao and Chencang Road also each had a 100,000-strong army.

Facing the menacing army of 500,000 troops, the strength of Hanzhong seems to be too small.

Yang Yi, who came to report the military situation, saw the prime minister's worried expression, and said that the prime minister's reason was that there was too much difference between the enemy and us, so he suggested:

"Prime Minister, there are a lot of troops coming from Wei, should we let Jincheng conscript some servants?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head:

"Although the Cao bandits claim to have 500,000 people, according to the information we have found in the past two years, the Guanzhong bandit army is no more than 150,000 to 60,000."

"Kuang Long is on the right side, and can dive into Guanzhong at any time, so the number of soldiers Cao Zhen can use against Hanzhong is no more than 100,000."

"In addition, it is raining day after day, and we rely on the mountains to resist them. If we can keep them in the mountains for a month, we may be able to wait for an opportunity to defeat them."

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty who dreamed of entering Guanzhong, over the past two years, worked hard and advanced, not only asked people who were familiar with the terrain, but also asked about the roads connecting Hanzhong and Guanzhong.

He even read every one of them personally, and he really knows them very well.

Coupled with the support of the Nanxiang engineering team, the newly built Guancheng at the intersection, and the reclamation of Hanzhong over the years, have become an important food-producing place for Dahan.

In this battle, the big man has no logistical worries at all.

Therefore, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty with 60,000 elite soldiers in his hand is really not afraid of Cao Zhen's 100,000 army.

"Since that's the case, what does the prime minister have to worry about?"

Yang Yi was a little confused.

"What I worry about is the Son of Heaven..."

Zhuge Liang had a worried look on his face, he frowned, and involuntarily glanced at the south.

What he worries about is not whether Hanzhong's troops can stop the "500,000" Wei army.

What is worrying is that the emperor of the Han Dynasty had already left Jincheng in early August and was heading for Hanzhong.

Counting the days, the time when the emperor arrived in Hanzhong happened to be the time when Wei Jun entered Hanzhong.

Even the prime minister of the great Han Dynasty cannot afford the pretext of putting the emperor in danger.

Otherwise, His Majesty has called Xiangfu for so many years, wouldn't it be in vain?

Prime Minister Yang Yi was reminded, and then suddenly remembered, and couldn't help shouting:

"The military situation in Hanzhong is urgent, I actually forgot this!"

After speaking, Yang Yi's face finally changed drastically, and he said urgently:

"Prime Minister, fortunately the emperor has not yet arrived in Hanzhong, why not send someone to invite the emperor to return to Jincheng."

Zhuge Liang smiled wryly and said in a low voice:

"The Son of Heaven wants to inspect Hanzhong, and it has been spread since he left Jincheng. If he heard that Cao Bandit came, he returned halfway, what would the world think?"

Yang Yi was taken aback.

Although the style of Confucianism has gradually flourished since the later Han Dynasty, the legacy of martial arts still exists.

If the Son of Heaven of the Great Han Dynasty heard that the bandit army was coming, he turned around and went back to Jincheng to avoid it, then the revival of the Han Dynasty would probably become a joke to deceive the world.

The emperor of the Liu family fled in front of the battle. How can he restore the Han Dynasty?

But if the Son of Heaven comes to Hanzhong and comes before the battle in person, in case something goes wrong...

"Then what should I do?"

Having figured this out, Yang Yi asked anxiously.

Compared to Yang Yi's anxiety, Zhuge Liang wanted to calm down after all. He pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"The only plan now is to ask Your Majesty to proceed as slowly as possible. It would be the best if you can force the Cao bandits back before Your Majesty arrives in Hanzhong."

"If not, at least try to stabilize the situation in Hanzhong, and don't put His Majesty in danger."

In order to express the heart of revitalizing the Han Dynasty, the emperor must not back down.

But as a prime minister, he must not let the emperor be in any danger.

Having made up his mind, Zhuge Liang didn't delay for a moment, he sent someone directly, and immediately set off in the direction of Jincheng.

After arranging the affairs of the emperor, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty remembered something again, and shouted: "Not good!"

The prime minister's gaffes today made Yang Yi flustered: "Prime Minister..."

"Longyou!" Zhuge Liang said urgently, "That kid is still trapped in Wudu, and the Longyou Huqiang Captain's Mansion has left him. I'm afraid no one will take charge of the overall situation!"

Now Longyou Han and Hu are living together in peace, and even the imperial court can collect a lot of livestock and wool from Longyou, which is indispensible for protecting Qiang Xiaowei's mansion.

It can be said that Feng Yong is an indispensable go-getter for stabilizing Longyou.

Now that he was asked to come to Hanzhong in advance, he did not expect to be blocked by heavy rain on the way, and it was extremely inconvenient to exchange news.

Normally, Zhuge Liang wouldn't be so worried.

But it's different now, after all, the emperor is on his way to Hanzhong, so there is no room for any mistakes in this battle!

Yang Yi felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart when she heard Feng Yong's name.

Zhuge Liang didn't notice his expression, and immediately ordered again to send a fast horse to Wudu.

It can be said that because of the itinerary of Jincheng and Longyou, one south and one north, the bandits Cao made a large-scale attack this time, and inadvertently intercepted the node where the big man was most caught off guard.

Hanzhong was able to get the news of the abnormal transfer of the Wei army in Guanzhong at the first time, but it was two or three days later in Longyou.

After all, Longshan not only separated Guanzhong from Longyou, but also slowed down the transmission of news.

In Longyou in August, the weather is much cooler than it was two months ago.

Zhang Xingyi, one of the core secretariats of Hu Qiang's Captain's Mansion, is crouching on the table and carefully verifying all kinds of documents delivered today.

A dress made of light gauze hangs down, covering her chair. If she didn't see the back of the chair, she would think she was bending over to read the documents.

Covered by the skirt and hidden from outsiders, a pair of calves were hanging in the air, kicking back and forth.

Probably tired from watching, she stopped and yawned, then rubbed her eyes again.

Only a small complaint could be heard in the empty room: "It's better when that heartless person is around, it won't be so hard."

When someone is around, there are some things she can't decide, just turn around and go.

For some trivial matters, after handling them by myself, it is considered that they have been reported after the incident.

Unlike now, no matter the big or small things, they have to be sorted out, and then reported to the mistress who stayed and guarded Qiang Xiaowei's mansion.

For matters that the secretariat has no right to handle, it is necessary to propose a plan in advance for the hostess of the house to make a decision.

Alas, after all, the hostess is not as talkative as the hostess.

Although the hostess has never shown it clearly, Zhang Xingyi knows that the hostess is very strict with her secretary.

As the chief officer of one of the most critical departments in the Huqiang School's Weifu, Secretary Zhang said that the pressure is a bit high these days.

Zhang Xingyi clenched his fist and cheered himself up, hum, I won't let you get caught!

A certain hostess who was called a vicious person was sitting peacefully in the backyard at this time, looking at her own pair of children on the mat, with a loving smile on her face,

Although the birth time of a pair of children of the Feng family is only an hour apart, the difference in personality was revealed very early on.

My daughter, Shuangshuang, is more lively and active. Now she is sitting there by herself, tightly holding a small paper tube made of rolled paper with her right hand, waving it from time to time, and hitting the mat on the ground, making a "chacha" sound.

Then she grinned and laughed "Hahahaha" to herself, not knowing what she was laughing at.

As for the younger brother Ah Chong, he was much clingier, no matter which direction he was placed on the mat, he had to crawl back to Guan Ji's feet before he would calm down.

Then every once in a while, he would stretch out his hands, trying to grab Guan Ji and get Grandma's attention.

Then Guan Ji had a smile on her face, bent down, played with him for a while, and then put him a little further away.

Achong began to crawl back "Yah Yah", sometimes passing by his elder sister, and was beaten by her elder sister with a paper tube.

The backyard is filled with fun and joy.

A burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

Guan Ji looked up, and saw Zhang Xingyi appearing at the door, trotting all the way with her skirt in her hand:

"Sister, it's not good, the Cao thief in Guanzhong is in trouble!"

Seeing Zhang Xingyi's appearance, and seeing the official document in her hand covered with red feathers, Guan Ji's heart sank, and she quickly stood up.

Reaching out her hand to take the paperwork handed over by Zhang Xingyi, she quickly browsed through it, and her face suddenly became serious.

This was a document that had just been handed over from the Longyou Governor's Mansion. As soon as Zhang Xingyi got it in his hands, he immediately put down all his affairs and delivered it to Guan Ji himself.

After reading the official document, Guan Ji didn't delay for a moment, and immediately ordered:

"Let the army, the staff department, the secretariat, and all the chief officials come to the meeting hall of the mansion!"

Zhang Xingyi nodded, turned around and ran out again.

"Come on, help me change my clothes!"

Guan Ji snorted.

As he spoke, he raised his leg and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Ah Chong just reached out and wanted to grab the corner of her skirt, but he didn't catch it, and then saw his mother leave just like that, and finally opened his mouth twice.

Guan Ji ignored him.

Followed by crying.

Guan Ji turned her head and saw that the nurse couldn't coax her, and then looked at her daughter who was grinning silly.

Immediately, the phoenix eyes raised, and he sternly shouted at his son: "Don't cry!"

Facts have proved that the tiger girl's prestige has not diminished in the past, and she can suppress her husband and son-in-law at the top, and can suppress her son at the bottom.

The son who was about to open his mouth to cry loudly didn't know if he was frightened, and the crying sound became "uh uh" again.

Ordering her son to stop crying, Guan Ji turned and left without looking back.

The home clothes were quickly replaced by narrow-sleeved and tight-fitting military uniforms, and with his hair tied up, the unparalleled handsome Guan Jiashiro reappeared.

With a tiger's footsteps, Guan Suo, dressed in military uniform, entered the meeting hall, walked to the main seat, turned around and looked down coldly:

Zhang Yi, Jufu, Zhao Guang, Yang Wanwan, Huo Yi and other major generals who protected Qiang Xiaowei's mansion had arrived, as well as Gongsun Zheng, chief of staff of the staff department, and Wen of the engineering battalion.

Even Zhang Xingyi had a seat, and it was the one closest to the main seat.

Seeing Guan Suo coming in, everyone saluted in unison:

"Meet General Guan!"

Guan Suo nodded slightly, and said, "Sit down."

Although on the surface, Zhang Ni's official position is the largest, but since Emperor Zhaolie's time in Ji Han, the Han army has had a tradition of controlling the big with the small.

For example, during the Battle of Hanzhong, Huang Zhong, General Zhengxi, needed troops from General Yijun Zhao Yun.

And in the same way, after capturing Shangyong, Liu Feng, the deputy general, was able to command Shen Dan, the general who conquered the North, and even bullied Meng Da frequently.

This has something to do with the difficult process of Emperor Zhaolie's founding of the country.

After all, in order to appease the generals who were later surrendered, they were always appointed officials in name.

But the actual power is still in the hands of Emperor Zhaolie's most trusted person.

Because of this tradition, when Feng Tubie left Pingxiang, he also imitated his example, pretending to be his own lord and taking over the affairs of Qiang Xiaowei's mansion as a guardian of Qiang.

With the two departments of the Secretariat and the General Staff, as long as nothing major happens, Guan Ji can make the Huqiang Captain's Mansion run normally even if she just puts on a show.

Who knew that such a big event would happen now?

Without Feng Yong as the backbone, everyone's faces were a little hesitant, and they seemed to have no idea in their hearts.

Even Zhang Ni frowned.

At this time, he was not the general in history who quelled the Nanyi rebellion many times, and also served as the prefect of Yuejue for fifteen years, and was deeply loved by the barbarians.

He was just discovered by Feng Yong in advance, and he is a young general who is constantly growing.

But Guan Ji is different.

She experienced the changes in Jingzhou, wandering on the verge of life and death, and fled back to Shu with her life.

Coupled with Huang Yueying's personal guidance, she even passed on the prime minister's eight formation diagrams to her, so Feng Junhou asked her to pretend to protect Qiang Xiaowei's mansion, which is not considered nepotism (black whistle).

After Guan Ji sat down, she glanced at the people below, and said straight to the point without talking nonsense:

"According to the news from the Governor's Mansion, the Cao bandits in Guanzhong have made a lot of noise. It is very likely that they either invaded Hanzhong or Longyou."
