Chapter 218 Kong Ming’s sigh: In today’s world, the one who can ensure the safety of Han is military power!
"drive!"
"drive!"
"Drive!~"
In the wilderness,
A cavalryman whipped his mount hard.
The scorching sunlight made it almost impossible for him to open his eyes, but he did not dare to stop at all. The bamboo slips in his arms were of great importance and he could not delay.
Da da da! ~
The horse under his crotch was galloping with all four hooves.
Suddenly, the dust on the ground was stirred up, and a trip rope was suddenly stretched straight and pulled up!
Xilulu! ~
"what!"
The mount fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the rider rolled off the saddle.
He was about to stand up in a hurry when a huge force hit him and pinned him to the ground.
"Who is it? Let me go! Let me go!!"
"These are soldiers from Tongguan!"
"General Xu Chu, we have captured the Xiliang barbarians!"
Four or five Cao army soldiers pinned the Tongguan cavalryman to the ground, unable to move at all.
"Hahaha! I originally wanted to hunt a deer for the Prime Minister, but unexpectedly, I caught the prey in Tongguan!" Xu Chu's face was full of excitement, and he rode his horse out from the dense forest not far away.
Because Han Sui had not surrendered for a long time, Cao Cao had been in an increasingly bad mood in the past two days. He could not sleep well and had no appetite.
Xu Chu left the camp, intending to hunt two wild animals for Cao Cao, but he saw the cavalry of the Xiliang soldiers from afar. At this time, the Xiliang soldiers suddenly rode out of the city alone, which must be a trick.
He immediately made a decision and changed hunting animals to hunting people.
"Let me go, let me go..."
"Stop him and search him!"
Soon, a Cao army soldier came over holding a bamboo slip and said, "General Zhongkang, this is the letter from the Xiliang soldier."
Xu Chu was very excited: "Believe it? We know that there is something fishy about this Xiliang barbarian!"
"Please have a look, General Zhongkang..."
"What do you mean by review? I can't read, don't you know? Read!"
wow~
Cao's soldiers hurriedly unfolded the bamboo slips: "I have now captured Chang'an, defeated Ma Chao, and appointed General Han Sui as the General of the Western Expedition, and now I am in charge of the Western Liang..."
As soon as he read the beginning, the Cao army soldier was stunned: "Already, I have led the coalition forces of the Western Liang tribes to surrender Tongguan, surrender to my king's banner!"
"My army has entered Tongguan. I order General Wei Yan of Zhennan to see this letter and immediately send troops to Tongguan to attack Cao Mengde from both sides... This is my order to the governor of Jingzhou, the King of Chu of the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Wu captured Chang'an, defeated Ma Chao, and even Han Sui and the Xiliang coalition surrendered to him, and he also offered Tongguan? !
When did all this happen?
Xu Chu raised his head suddenly, his half-rotten face full of confusion.
He suddenly stepped forward, snatched the bamboo slips, and read them over and over again, but he was illiterate, so it was useless no matter how many times he read them.
Xu Zhongkang's mind was in a mess.
Didn’t Liu Wu lead his troops behind Cao’s army? When did he enter Guanzhong?
How did he take Chang'an?
But if what this letter says is true...
Whether this matter is true or false, it is of great importance and must be reported to the King of Wei as soon as possible.
Xu Chu held the bamboo slips in his hand and jumped on his horse without hesitation: "Take this Xiliang barbarian with you and return to the camp immediately!!"
……
East of Tongguan,
In the Jingbei Army camp, in a remote military tent.
Seventy-seven small lights surrounded the seven large lights, illuminating the originally dim military tent.
Zhuge Kongming sat at his desk, the letter that had not yet been sent still lying on the corner of the desk. As he waved his feather fan, Zhuge Liang's mind was in turmoil...
Cao Cao fought and confronted Han Sui and Ma Chao at Tongguan, and almost half of the troops in Guanzhong were concentrated at Tongguan. Liu Wu took advantage of the situation and entered Guanzhong from Wuguan, which was indeed a brilliant move.
But if you want to take Chang'an, it may not be easy.
Although Chang'an is dilapidated, it is still a big city after all. Moreover, Chang'an is the hinterland of Guanzhong. Even if Ma Chao and Han Sui gather all their troops in Tongguan, how can they underestimate such an important place as Chang'an?
If the Wu-Chu coalition forces fail to capture Chang'an in a short time, Tongguan will definitely be aware of it and will most likely return to Chang'an.
At that time, even if Liu Wu wanted to escape unscathed, it would be difficult. If that were the case...
The feather fan in Zhuge Liang's hand suddenly stopped.
There was a daze on his face. He was clearly forced to work for Liu Wu, so why was he now so worried about Liu Wu's success or failure?
"Alas~" Kong Ming sighed, as if talking to himself, but also as if explaining to himself: "I am not worried about Liu Wu's gains and losses, I am actually worried about the fate of the Han Dynasty."
Now the whereabouts of Emperor Liu is unknown. Even if he were still alive, he would not be able to shoulder the burden of reviving the Han Dynasty.
In the hearts of all those who cherished the Han Dynasty, Liu Wu was the greatest hope of the Han Dynasty. That was why the group of old ministers under the command of Emperor Liu, led by Jian Yong, would vote for Liu Wu without hesitation.
Even he, Zhuge Liang, had to admit that in today's world, the one who can ensure the stability of the Han Dynasty is Wu!
If Liu Wu can really take Chang'an and Guanzhong this time...
Kong Ming's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. He wanted to restore the Han Dynasty, return to the old capital, and carry out the achievements of Emperor Guangwu...
crackle~
The crisp sound of lanterns woke Kong Ming up, and he looked at the forty-nine small lanterns and seven large lanterns in front of him.
That day, Wei Yan kicked over one of his lamps. I just said one word to him, and he brought me many lamps of different sizes. When I lit them, they hurt my eyes.
Wei Wenchang was still upset about himself calling him a traitor.
"This Wei Yan..." Kong Ming shook his head: "He is just being mad at me."
"Sir! The plan for the King of Chu has been completed!" Just as Wolong thought of Wei Yan, Wei Yan's voice came from outside the tent.
Wei Wenchang's face flushed, and he rushed into the tent in a hurry: "Tongguan has been taken, Han Sui has surrendered, Chang'an has been captured, and Guanzhong will be in the hands of the King of Chu!"
Took Chang'an and occupied Tongguan.
Guanzhong is a piece of meat in Zilie’s case!
Cao Mengde went to great lengths at Tongguan and suffered heavy losses, but in the end, all his efforts were in vain and Zilie reaped the benefits.
Wei Yan couldn't help but gloat: "Poor Prime Minister Cao, he is still trying his best to keep an eye on us, and he is still kept in the dark about such a major event as the change of ownership of Guanzhong."
wow~
Zhuge Liang put down the bamboo slips he had read several times, raised his head and let out a long sigh: "The great thing is accomplished!"
Guanzhong is the base of the emperor.
Since ancient times, whoever controls Guanzhong controls the world. The Qin State annexed the six states by occupying Guanzhong. Emperor Gaozu obtained Guanzhong and thus established his empire. Even Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty only laid a solid foundation for his great cause after he obtained Guanzhong!
Now, Liu Wu also got the imperial base of Guanzhong...
Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Yizhou, Jingzhou, these important places have been connected in Zhuge Liang's mind.
Most of the founding emperors of the Qin and Han dynasties followed this path, step by step encompassing the universe, taking in the four seas, and annexing the eight wildernesses!
Zhuge Liang slowly closed his eyes...
He seemed to have seen the imperial aura rising!
The great cause that Liu Huangshu could not accomplish will eventually be accomplished by this eldest son...
"Sir!" Wei Yan could not wait to bow to Kong Ming and said, "Now that the King of Chu has completed his plan for Guanzhong and the King's order has arrived, please make the decision on how the army should proceed!"
shuh~
Kong Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and all the complexity and hesitation in his eyes disappeared, and he regained his previous aggressiveness: "Hurry up and pass the order..."
"From now on, the army will speed up at full speed and march 80 miles a day, heading straight for Tongguan!"
"In this way, tomorrow our army will be able to complete the encirclement of Cao Mengde's troops in the Tongguan area with the King of Chu..."
……
The normal updates are in the early morning.
