Chapter 458: Still Underestimated

After the Wei army occupied Nanxiang, the road to the east of the Mian River was opened. After receiving the news, Yang Hu and Ma Jun immediately organized ships and manpower to transport the completed wooden parts of the trebuchet to the west along the Mian River.

At the same time, there were memorials and letters to be sent to Luoyang, so Yang Hu arranged for a courier to go north via Xiangyang.

Qin Liang truthfully wrote in the memorial that the Wei army repelled Jiang Wei's attack in Dashaji and then occupied Nanxiang County. However, Xin Chang's home letter was more exaggerated because it was a personal letter, describing Jiang Wei in more than one scene.

The campaign did not achieve its goal, but failed several times and suffered heavy losses!

Taichang Yangdan had just returned from the Taiji Palace meeting. Xin Xianying put down his brother's letter and said to her husband: "It seems that my guess about the Battle of Hanzhong was wrong. Didn't General Wei take the opportunity to mobilize personnel in the Yongliang area?"

Yang Huiyu was also at her uncle's house. She came to visit to tell her uncle that Yang Hu had left Xiangyang and gone to Hanzhong.

At this time, the voice of his uncle Yang Dan said decisively: "Qin Zhongming will probably take Hanzhong by force. Jiang Wei is so famous that even Guo Boji, the governor of Yongliang, fell to him, and the terrain is advantageous. I thought General Qin would have a difficult battle, but unexpectedly

Jiang Wei is no match for Zhongming either. Qin Zhongming’s military skills are flawless. I knew earlier that he was good at fighting, but I still underestimated him!"

When Yang Huiyu heard this, he immediately looked sideways at his uncle.

The Yang family is a noble family that has served as officials for many generations. Nowadays, more than one person is an official in the court. However, his uncle Yang Dan is currently the highest-ranking person, ranking among the Nine Ministers. Yang Huiyu was naturally a little surprised that his uncle would say this.

"I thought General Qin only had a small victory over Jiang Wei in Nanxiang." Yang Huiyu said deliberately.

Sure enough, Yang Dan immediately shook his head and said: "Nanxiang is very important, otherwise Jiang Wei would not have mobilized the entire army to gather near Nanxiang."

He pondered for a while and then continued: "Since Emperor Wu withdrew from Hanzhong, the most difficult thing for the Wei army to attack Hanzhong was that there was no way to gain a foothold. Later, the Wei army failed to attack Hanzhong many times, and they were all constrained by this.

Now that it's better, Jiang Wei withdrew from Nanxiang, and the two armies each occupied the east and west. Half of the Shu army's defense line in front of Hanzhong almost no longer existed. The Wei army poured into Hanzhong from the east road, and could transport large-scale vehicles via the Mian River.

With the arrival of weapons, the Battle of Hanzhong can be fought."

Xin Xianying turned to Yang Huiyu and said: "The situation is just as your uncle said. Many people have been talking about it in the past two days, but ordinary people don't have enough knowledge to explain clearly."

Yang Huiyu said "hmm".

Yang Dan said: "Half of the elites of the Wei Dynasty were mobilized for this campaign, so of course it attracted people's attention. If there is some news, won't there be a lot of discussion?"

He thought for a while and then said: "Jiang Wei is also very knowledgeable. He was able to predict the Wei army's attack on Nanxiang in advance and took the lead. However, Sima Ziyuan may have contributed to this matter."

Xin Xianying quietly glanced at her husband, and Yang Dan understood immediately. But Yang Huiyu already had mixed feelings in her heart.

Somehow, the joy in Yang Huiyu's heart still prevailed. She didn't want to hear anything happen to Qin Liang, and when she heard Qin Liang was praised, she would subconsciously be happy for him.

Only after being reminded that she suddenly realized that Qin Liang's reputation had nothing to do with her, but that Master Sima had something to do with her. At this time, Yang Huiyu couldn't help but feel a little sad again.

...Wang Lingjun is in a different situation, and her mood cannot be that complicated.

Wang Lingjun was worried about Zhongming at first. He just blamed people for saying that Hanzhong was so scary. There was a grotto leading to the Heavenly Prison, which made people feel as if there was no return. But after receiving Zhongming's letter from Hanzhong two days ago,

, she felt a lot more relieved.

Recently, when the Wang family talked about it, they said that Zhongming was like a god in his military skills and had already opened up the situation in Hanzhong; she felt even more at ease.

When Lingjun heard that his grandfather had returned to Yishouli, he washed his hands in the kitchen and went to the front hall to meet him. A maid from the Wang family came to meet him in the corridor. He hurriedly stepped aside and bowed respectfully to Lingjun, waiting for her to walk over.

Only then did the maids dare to stand up and leave.

Perhaps it was just your misunderstanding that the servants and maids of the Wang family seemed to be more respectful than usual in the past two days.

She came to the front hall and first met with her father, fourth uncle, stepmother and others.

After a while, my grandfather walked up to the platform, and Ling Jun followed the Wang family to welcome him out and saluted his grandfather. After returning the gift, my grandfather looked back at his children and grandchildren, looked at Ling Jun, and pointed to her finger that was red with water and asked.

Said: "What are you doing at home?"

Ling Jun knelt down and said, "It's approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I'm helping to make male cakes."

Grandfather Wang Ling immediately showed a kind smile, looked around and said: "Among the women of the Wang family, your Majesty is the most virtuous and diligent."

Father Gongyuan quickly said modestly: "She just likes to do trivial things."

Having said that, uncles, aunts and others cast envious glances. The people gathered together were all one family, but the Wang family included young and old, and everyone still hoped to gain the attention of the elder of the royal family, General Wang Ling.

Your Majesty did not wear gold or silver in her natal family because she had to work, so she dressed very simply, but it still did not affect her status in the Wang family.

With my grandfather's words, even my father, Wang Gongyuan, looked satisfied and nodded gently to Ling Jun.

After all, Lingjun is the eldest daughter, and Wang Gongyuan still loves her, but he was not very satisfied with her before.

Lingjun knew that even with her own marriage, her father had only done it to save trouble and avoid embarrassment. Otherwise, her father would have been more willing to marry a noble family. Who would have thought that now, her husband has become the most concerned person of the entire Wang family.

Grandfather Wang Ling walked into the front hall and quickly said: "Looking at the situation, maybe Zhongming can really capture Hanzhong!"

Gongyuan said: "In just over a month, the situation has become like this, which is beyond expectation. At first I was worried that Zhongming would suffer losses in Hanzhong, but now it seems that I am really worried too much."

In front of the whole family, there is nothing wrong with what my father said. However, Ling Jun understands what my father is thinking. After listening carefully, I feel that my father's tone is a bit complicated.

The fourth uncle Wang Mingshan's voice said: "According to Chu Dao's words in the letter, Jiang Wei pretended to retreat before the battle, and then cut off the grain road, but it was all due to Zhongming's temple plan. If the attack continues like this, Jiang Wei will not be found at all.

Fighters, the important towns in Hanzhong, all have to be pulled out by Zhongming with trebuchets!"

Wang Ling said with emotion: "This Zhongming is as calm as a mountain in leading his troops. The same was true for the battle to put down Guanqiu Jian. You don't have to worry about him making any mistakes at all."

Gongyuan and Wang Mingshan could only agree.

Lingjun was a junior, so she stood silently in the back, but when she heard what her elders said, she was quietly happy in her heart. Lingjun was always a noble person and didn't like to be pushy, but she actually liked being complimented. Of course, compliments were given to her.

The same goes for Zhong Ming, because her identity is Qin Liang's wife.

At this moment, the stepmother next to me whispered quietly: "A famous general like Jiang Wei can only seek blessings when he encounters a scholar and a tiger like Zhongming."

Everyone, please go and try it soon.】





(Thank you book friends for your concern. I have basically recovered now, but my brain is still a little dazed for some reason and my reaction is slow. It may take a few days to return to full health and mana.)
