In the blink of an eye, spring came and went. In early May, all the arrangements of the Han court were completed, and the army finally dispatched as promised.

If the Han army does not move, it will be alive, and if it moves, it will be in a shocking momentum. On the border line that lasts thousands of miles from northwest to southeast, many troops attack at the same time:

The subordinate general Li Yan of Guangluxun and the subordinate general Ding Feng and Lei Cheng's troops crossed the river through Pubanjin and attacked Anyi. He heard the news and gathered troops to protect Zhang He's troops.

Crown Prince Liu Chan, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and Chen Dao, Fu Hu, Xiang Chong, Jiang Wei and other generals led their troops eastward to Tongguan and directly seize Luoyang.

Former general Guan Ping and deputy generals Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Xi Zhen and other troops rose up from Xiangyang to attack Wancheng, threatening Xu Du.

General Lei Yuan of the Cavalry led his troops from Hefei to advance north, first defeated Shouchun and killed Cao Xiu. Then, with Shouchun as the center, he dispatched troops to sweep across Yanzhou.

In mid-May, Liu Chan rode a magical but gentle war horse, with iron armor inside and ordinary military uniforms on his face, and followed the army through Tongguan.

Beside Tongguan, the mountains and rivers are majestic and extraordinary. There are big rivers passing by like jade belts, and there are high mountains and towering like heavenly prisons. Between the mountains and rivers, birds are startled by the army and circling and dancing in the vast sky.

Dong Yun and Fei Yi, who were with Liu Chan, looked a little excited when they saw such a vast scenery. Huo Yi, who was falling behind, only looked at the scenery for a moment, and then shouted to his entourage to follow closely.

Renault ran for a while and then led his people to the river beach. I don’t know what method he used to find several fishermen hiding in the reed marsh of Hequ.

After a while, he urged Xiao Ma to turn back, held a bamboo basket in his hand, and asked Liu Chan to look at the bamboo basket with pride: "Look, such a big fish! I will give you grilled fish tonight! This is my unique skill, it is not delicious, it doesn't cost money!"

Liu Chan was already young. Seeing Renault making trouble, he laughed for a while, and then asked his servant to take the bamboo basket. Turning his head, he said to Renault again: "There may be military affairs ahead, and the Prime Minister will call us later. Arnold, be honest."

Four or five miles behind Liu Chan, it was the prince's ceremonial guard, but Liu Chan did not walk with the ceremonial guards on weekdays, but followed Zhuge Liang throughout the journey.

The emperor had already given orders that this time of dispatching troops was a rare opportunity for Liu Chan. Liu Chan must follow Zhuge Liang, listen more and watch more, and obey Zhuge Liang's instructions in everything, but never give any advice without authorization. Liu Chan was a simple person, so he did it in a solid manner, following Zhuge Liang throughout the process for several days, and never leaving his steps.

After a few days, Zhuge Liang simply changed into the robes of attendants for Liu Chan and his followers, and said to the outside world that he was the prime minister's personal guard. In fact, if there were any arrangements for military and political affairs, he would make it in front of Liu Chan, and would slowly explain to Liu Chan later.

Why do these things happen today? Why do we need to deal with them like this?

After confirming that Liu Chan understood, Zhuge Liang would have a corresponding teaching exam the next day.

At this time, the central army was passing by the front of Tongguan.

During the Jian'an period, when Cao Gong used troops to pass the army, he set up a new Hangu Pass on the river beach north of Chousangyuan, and built a pass city on the banks of Tongshui, named Tongguan. These two passes were both throat keys to block the east and west. When Zhong Yao and Cao Pi were stationed in Chang'an, they all relied on the heroic troops stationed in the two passes.

However, the two passes had no garrison at this time. The Han army came all the way through Zheng County and Huayin. The front army easily crossed the pass and headed straight towards Hongnong. The way was just a march, and there was no chance to use swords and weapons.

According to the front team's report, even the garrison in Luoyang only maintained a minimum level of vigilance and public order. The two men in charge were not some long-time generals, but two young men who rushed to Luoyang in Yecheng, one was Chen Tai, the son of Chen Qun, and the other was Xiahou Shi, who was originally a servant in the Yecheng court.

Since these two people were in Luoyang, they must have been smart people inside and outside Luoyang City. Since last night, Luoyang sent one envoy after another to inform the situation of the army, and they were so attentive that they were not decent.

At this moment, when the prince talked about military affairs, Renault said "hey" and made a deep thought: "But I don't know what military affairs will be? Is there a war to fight?"

Dong Yun glanced at Renault, too lazy to pay attention.

Fei Yi was about to answer, but heard the loud sound of hooves in front of him. The army commander held a small flag and ran by, shouting along the way: "The army will speed up the march, and the front team will arrive in Hongnong tonight!"

After a while, Ma Su also came from the front and bowed to Liu Chan: "Your Highness, General Li Zhengfang, sent an emergency military information and had suggestions from the military affairs leaders. The Prime Minister asked me to ask your highness for his opinion."

Liu Chan opened the military newspaper and read it and handed it to Dong Yun.

He looked at Ma Su, blinked his eyes, and said habitually: "Whatever the Prime Minister says, I will do what I will do."

Ma Su bowed again and repeated the words just now: "The Prime Minister wants to hear your highness's opinion."

"Oh." Liu Chan reacted, and then found out what was written in the military newspaper, and he couldn't remember it clearly.

He took the military newspaper back from Dong Yun, read it again, and murmured: "General Li Yan confronted the five Xiongnu tribes in Hedong, asking our army to separate out all the elite troops and help defeat the enemy from the side?"

"Yes." Ma Su bowed, lowered his head and did not look at Liu Chan's concentrating thoughts.

Ma Su was even confused: Where can the prince make a judgment on such specific military affairs? Is the teaching examination today a bit too strict?

After a while, Liu Chan said slowly: "I heard from my father that General Zheng Fang is a capable person and he will not be stumped by the Huns. However, he always thinks too much and too thoughtful... The reason for this is that I want me to win the merits of defeating the Huns, right? Please reply to the Prime Minister, and say that this is General Zheng Fang's kindness, and I am very grateful. I am willing to cross the river, but I need the assistance of the general."

After a pause, he said to Ma Su: "I ride a horse very well, I can do it. Well, I will be careful and not make any mistakes."

"Your Highness is really decisive!" Ma Su was shocked and asked again: "Dare you ask your Highness, who needs help?"

Liu Chan thought for a long time.

Most of the ministers of the Han Dynasty knew that Prince Liu Chan was not a talented person. Liu Chan himself knew very well that he was too stupid and was so slow to think about things. I guess he would never have the ability of his father to ride a horse around the world and sweep away the traitors in this life. He did not have the ability of the prime minister to have everything in his heart... that was really impossible, and Liu Chan was sweating even if he thought about it.

According to Renault, even fifty Liu Chan tied together, plus ten Renaults, but he didn't have the prime minister's brain. Liu Chan himself felt that Arnold would try this matter, and I'm afraid that fifty Adou tied together might not be of any help to Arnold.

Fortunately, some things may not require a quick brain. Liu Chan has been reminded of some things many times in recent years. After thinking about them again and again, he can always slowly find a little context and understand more clearly than ordinary people.

He also knew that some things had to be understood; some things had no need to worry about at all. With his own mind, worrying about them would cause trouble.

So he quickly gave up and continued to make plans and said seriously: "Whatever the Prime Minister says, I will do."
