Three Kingdoms lazy man

At this time, the army of Wei State heard the news, and looked at the direction Zhao Yun was calling in horror, and dropped the weapon in his hand to the ground in fright, making a dull sound.

"It's over! Looks like it!" At this moment, Zhuge Liang stood on the high ground and shook his feather fan silently. The army under the army came to the battlefield, Zhuge Liang silently watched the sky gradually darken, and said with some emotion in his tone.

The army led by Xia Houmao was completely annihilated. The coach Xiahoumao, Cheng Wu who joined the army, and the general Hande all died in this war. Tens of thousands of troops were finally reduced to ashes and only a few hundred people surrendered to the Shu Han. army.

And this news gradually blew to the Guanzhong area along with the cold wind at night.

"What! The army led by Xia Houmao was ambushed by the Shu Han army, and the entire army was wiped out!" At this time, Cao Zhen, who was guarding far away in Guanzhong, immediately opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief when he got the news.

Xiahoumao's identity is different from other people. Now he is the only son of Xiahoudun. Although he is adopted, he is also the only son, and he is a key figure in the Xiahou family of Cao Wei.Secondly, he is also Cao Wei's son-in-law.

The death of Xiahoumao and the annihilation of the army against the Shu Han will not only cause dissatisfaction with the Xiahou family, but may also affect the morale of his soldiers in Guanzhong.

Cao Zhen was walking back and forth in his room with a dark complexion. Now this matter is very important. At this time, Guo Zhun, who was sitting by the side, looked at Cao Zhen walking back and forth, and finally hesitated for a while, speaking in a low voice. Said: "General, it's an important matter now, so let's report it back to Luoyang as soon as possible. Your Majesty must know about it as soon as possible, and then wait for His Majesty to deal with this matter."

After Cao Zhen heard such words, he looked at Guo Zhun in front of him with some doubts, looked at Guo Zhun with a trace of calmness in his eyes, finally nodded, and said stammeringly: "If that's the case, then you should personally Write a letter and send it back to Luoyang for me, remember to be careful when writing it!"

"Don't worry, General, I know this." Guo Zhun looked at Cao Zhen with a hint of warning in his eyes, nodded calmly, and immediately prepared a pen and paper to write a letter.

Soon, in the dark night, a person in Chang'an City rode a fast horse and left Chang'an City quickly, and hurried towards the east.

The moonlight looked so sad, and under the moonlight, the barracks where the Shu Han army was stationed seemed to be very lively. Now that they had won a big battle, Zhuge Liang, as the commander of the army, would never suppress the joy of the soldiers.

Rewards that should be rewarded, rewards that should be rewarded, and even holding a celebration party to celebrate this victory, to boost the morale of their troops.

There were bursts of cheers outside, and the soldiers were eating meat and drinking wine in the barracks, looking very happy. But at this time, in the barracks in the deepest part of the barracks, Zhuge Liang was sitting on a wheelchair with a calm expression. , but in front of him was a topographic map of Guanzhong.

Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes and looked at the map in front of him, gently shaking his feather fan, without any expression on his face.

"Prime Minister!" At this moment, there was a shout from outside, and Jiang Wei came to Zhuge Liang's big tent with a calm expression.

Zhuge Liang turned his head to look at Jiang Wei who came to his military tent, with a kind smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Prime Minister, is this worrying about attacking Guanzhong?" Jiang Wei looked at Zhuge Liang with a forced smile, silently looked at the map placed in front of Zhuge Liang, and said to Zhuge Liang in a doubtful tone.

After Zhuge Liang heard this, he sighed helplessly and said: "Although the enemy army led by Xia Houmao has been wiped out, there are still hundreds of thousands of Cao Zhen's troops in the Guanzhong area. Now there is still a long way to go if we want to capture Guanzhong!"

"Prime Minister, if you want to attack Guanzhong first, you must first occupy a key point!" Jiang Wei looked at Zhuge Liang's bitter face and silently looked at the map in front of Zhuge Liang, and said to Zhuge Liang in a serious tone.

"Oh! Occupy the stronghold, I wonder if Boyue thinks that this is the stronghold I should attack!" Zhuge Liang immediately became interested after hearing Jiang Wei's words, then squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Wei with a confident expression on his face. asked softly.

Chapter 948 It's All About Zhuge Liang

Jiang Wei watched Zhuge Liang looking at himself calmly, walked heavily to the side of the map, then pointed to a city near Chang'an, and said in a serious tone: "Chen Cang is an important place for Hanzhong to Guanzhong. After conquering this city and occupying this key point, we will be able to attack Guanzhong and retreat and look back at Hanzhong, and as long as we stay on the defensive, we can advance and retreat freely."

"You are right, Chen Cang is indeed the best place to attack!" Zhuge Liang listened to Jiang Wei's words, silently looked at the position of Chen Cang on the map in front of him, and replied with a somewhat serious tone.

"Bo Yue!" Zhuge Liang gently stroked his beard, then looked at the map in front of him and hesitated for a moment, turned his gaze to Jiang Wei, and shouted to Jiang Wei in a calm tone.

"Prime Minister, what's the matter?" Jiang Wei looked at Zhuge Liang when he heard Zhuge Liang calling him, and asked Zhuge Liang in a low voice.

"You have served in Cao Wei for a long time, but which general of Cao Wei is guarding Chen Cang?" Zhuge Liang looked at Jiang Wei in front of him with soft eyes at this time, and said to Jiang Wei in a kind tone.

Jiang Wei thought for a while, then calmly replied to Zhuge Liang in front of him, "The Cao Wei general guarding Chencang seems to be Hao Zhao!"

"Hao Zhao, what is the origin of this person?" At this time Zhuge Liang heard such a name, he immediately turned his gaze to Jiang Wei who was at the side, and asked the Jiang Wei in front of him calmly.

After all, Chen Cang is an important place, and Hao Zhao's reputation is not very great. Many people in the world don't know his name, including Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang doesn't believe that Cao Wei's general will send an unknown person to guard it.

"This Hao Zhao, I heard that he is now the great apprentice of Cao Wei's Taiwei Bai Zifu!" Jiang Wei looked at Zhuge Liang's puzzled expression in front of him, and replied to Zhuge Liang in a calm tone.

"Bai Zifu?! Bai Zifu's apprentice is still a great apprentice. It seems that this guy can't be underestimated!" Zhuge Liang listened to Jiang Wei's answer in front of him, gently shaking the feather fan in his hand, and then silently watched Chen Cang's location on the map, he replied with a serious tone.

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Jiang Wei followed Zhuge Liang's eyes and looked at the map in front of him silently, then nodded solemnly.

At this time, the military tent where Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei were located was quiet. Both of them looked at the map silently, and remained silent, while bursts of cheers came from outside.

"Bo Yue, you should retreat for the time being. As for attacking Chencang, it is better to wait for the soldiers to cultivate for a few days." Zhuge Liang sat for a while, and finally decided to let the soldiers temporarily stop marching for a while to cultivate, and wait until a certain time. Time is preparing to send troops to attack Chencang.

"Prime Minister, I will take my leave first." Jiang Wei silently nodded to Zhuge Liang after hearing Zhuge Liang's words, then saluted Zhuge Liang with fists cupped, and slowly exited Zhuge Liang's military tent.

Zhuge Liang looked at Jiang Wei's leaving back and gently shook the feather fan in his hand, and looked at the position of Chen Cang on the map from the corner of his eye.

The next day was sunny and cloudless, but outside Luoyang City, a soldier rode his horse and rushed into the city, and then quickly rushed to the location of the palace.

In the end, the news of the disastrous defeat in the west war spread throughout Luoyang City, and Cao Rui, the monarch of the entire Cao Wei Dynasty, finally held back his great anger and hurriedly summoned his civil and military men to come to the palace to discuss major issues.

The army led by Xia Houmao was wiped out. The commander Xiahoumao joined the army Cheng Wu, and the general Han De died under Zhao Yun's gun. None of the tens of thousands of troops survived.

The news that shocked everyone was spread in the court, and when the civil and military officials heard the news, they all stood silently in the court, and then lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Cao Rui had a gloomy and frightening face. He seemed to be feeling very uncomfortable. After all, the defeat was very tragic. The entire army of fifty thousand was wiped out. He was one of the best people, and Cheng Wu, who joined the army and died in the battle, was the son of the deceased Taiwei Cheng Yu. There were too many things involved in this.

Moreover, this disastrous defeat followed Cao Xiu's defeat to Soochow, and Cao Wei's forces experienced another major defeat. This made Cao Rui very unhappy. After all, he became the emperor of this country. Sometimes I am afraid that I will be gossiped by others.

"Now that Zhuge Liang has been victorious in successive battles, Xia Houmao's army has finally been defeated by Zhuge Liang. Now Zhuge Liang is leading the Shu Han army to attack Guanzhong aggressively. Do you have any plan to defeat Zhuge Liang?" Cao Rui looked at himself with serious eyes The civil and military officials under him seemed silent, and finally hesitated for a while, and asked the civil and military officials with a somewhat heavy tone.

The civil and military officials heard Cao Rui's words sitting on the dragon chair, and seeing Cao Rui's extremely dark complexion, they looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything.

"I'm encountering such difficulties now, and none of you can give me an explanation. Could it be that I've raised a group of you, a group of winebags and rice bags?" At this time, Cao Rui saw the silent look of his subordinates, civil and military officials, and suddenly his chest began to twitch violently. Floating, looked at his civil and military officials with an extremely angry expression, panted, and then shouted at them angrily.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan. I can retreat Zhuge Liang." Bai Ren watched Cao Rui panting violently, and silently looked at Cao Rui, who was extremely angry, and walked out of his seat calmly. , and then replied in a soft tone to Cao Rui who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Cao Rui looked at Bai Ren who came out of his seat, his eyes were filled with joy, and he said excitedly to Bai Ren: "What good plan does the Taiwei have, tell me quickly!"

"Now, Zhuge Liang is leading his army all the way north. It can be said that he has commanded the entire Bashu army. It can be said that the power is extremely heavy!" Bai Ren looked at Cao Rui who was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at him with joy, Bai Ren spoke calmly to Cao Rui in front of him.

"Taiwei, Zhuge Liang's power is indeed very important, and he controls many troops. If you want him to retreat now, is there a good way?" What Bai Ren said with a calm smile suddenly felt cloudy, and asked Bai Ren in a doubtful tone.

"Now that Zhuge Liang has so much power, how could Liu Chan, the emperor of the Shu Han, willingly allow others to have such power? Now we only need to send people to the Bashu area to spread rumors, saying that Zhuge Liang wants to take the opportunity to support himself. I believe that Liu Chan, the emperor of Shu Han, will sit and wait for death!" Bai Ren gently stroked his beard, looked at Cao Rui who was sitting on the dragon chair in front of him, staring at him firmly, and spoke confidently. Cao Rui said.

After all, as an emperor, I am afraid that he has a sense of possession of power, and Liu Chan may also have such a sense of possession. After all, after Zhuge Liang died, Liu Chan directly divided the position of prime minister into two, and finally firmly regained power. Now Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan's relationship is not only dependent on each other, but also afraid of each other.

And if Liu Chan got the news that Zhuge Liang wanted to support himself, he would definitely send someone directly to ask Zhuge Liang to return to Bashu. If Zhuge Liang returned to Bashu with an army, he would come very soon if he wanted to attack next time. After all, the road to Shu was difficult. It is not easy to come up with a Bashu, which has to consider the transportation of military supplies and ordnance, so it is also very difficult to come up with a Bashu, and it will consume Bashu's national power once.

And if Zhuge Liang really got the news of Liu Chan's recall, even if Zhuge Liang was a little dissatisfied and unwilling to return, he had to return to Bashu.

After all, if Zhuge Liang doesn't return to Bashu, people in the world will think that Zhuge Liang wants to be a real mercenary, and Zhuge Liang's reputation will be very disadvantageous.

And if you really don't want to retreat, I'm afraid Liu Chan will cut off Zhuge Liang's food from the land of Bashu, and Cao Wei in the west and Bashu in the south will attack Zhuge Liang together, and Zhuge Liang will not be able to defend.

"Since that's the case, I'll immediately send someone to spy in Xishu to spread rumors." Cao Rui replied to Bai Ren with a slightly excited expression after hearing what Bai Ren said in front of him.

Chapter 949 Zhuge Liang's Gossip

In Chengdu, the land of Bashu, it seems that the streets are very lively, and the common people come and go on the streets, discussing something.

"Have you heard? The prime minister is now commanding the army of the entire country, and now he wants to establish himself as emperor in the land of Hanzhong!"
