Liu Xun suddenly looked up along the line of the Yellow River: "Is it the northern route? Is it possible to go? There is no human habitation for thousands of miles, what will happen to the enemy's supplies?"
"A desperate move." Zhou Busuo looked at the upper reaches of the Yellow River and said: "This is a desperate move by Cao's army to kill civilians in order to deceive others. In fact, the two armies have already left the battlefield and joined forces to kill us.
Came here, and the target is Chang'an."
"Cao Zhang and Wu Jun are the Sixth Route Army," Zhou Buyi's eyes finally flashed with horror. Sure enough, he still missed a step. He never expected that Cao Zhang and Wu Jun had already reached an agreement, and they were killing civilians to cover up others' eyes. They made a desperate move to kill the enemy.
Chang'an.
Cao Jun did all kinds of impossibilities and risks, but he neglected them. Now think about it, there are many such surprise attacks in history. This is how Li Mu defeated the Huns, how Xiang Yu defeated Liu Bang, and how Han Xin defeated Zhang Han.
of.
Zhou Buyi almost confirmed his idea, which finally explained why Zhang Liao was eager to launch an attack on Qingni Pass, and it was completely contrary to common sense. He should have thought long ago, how could a general like Zhang Liao act out of emotion and make fun of the lives of soldiers.
Zhou Buyi suddenly thought of something. He grabbed the booklet and looked at the date described above. He suddenly lost his concentration and dropped the booklet to the ground.
"What's the matter, brother Busuo?" Liu Xun replied.
"According to the date, Cao Zhang is almost arriving in Chang'an."
Zhou Buyi murmured, and as if to confirm his words, a soldier flew into the palace and said in panic: "Young Master, something bad has happened. A large group of cavalry appeared outside Mumapo in the north. They were flying Cao's banner and
Wu Ziqi."
"What?" Liu Xun's face turned pale and he sat down on the chair.
"Young Lord, calm down." Zhou Buyi came to his senses and asked the soldiers: "How many enemy troops are here?"
"You can't see the end at a glance, no less than 50,000," the soldier replied.
"Everyone is here." Zhou Buyi immediately turned to Liu Xun: "Young Master, immediately ordered the entire city to be closed and prepared for war. Ten thousand soldiers and horses were stationed in the north city and five thousand were as reserve troops. The remaining soldiers and horses were stationed in the remaining three cities.
The stragglers around Chang'an were not allowed to enter Chang'an, so as not to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. They all gathered in Huaili County as Chang'an's response.
Immediately sent an order to Yang Huai at Hangu Pass to send 20,000 troops back to support, no more and no less, to prevent Cao's army from sneaking into Hangu Pass.
Orders were sent to the Lantian camp and the Qingni Pass to be opened, and the cavalry was mobilized nearby to rush to Chang'an."
"Okay. Immediately summon the remaining generals to discuss the matter." Liu Xun immediately ordered the soldiers to summon the generals and said to Zhou Buyi: "Brother Buyi, is the matter serious?"
"If Cao Jun's cavalry and Wu Jun's Xiongnu cavalry all come, there are 80,000 soldiers and horses. Cao Zhang himself is brave and invincible, and Wu Jun's first general Wang Yue is the best swordsman in the world. His martial arts is unparalleled, and I fear that no one in the world can match it.
.
Young Master." Zhou Buyi looked at Liu Xun solemnly: "We cannot lose this battle, absolutely cannot lose. This is not just a matter of the loss of Chang'an, but also the loss of the morale of the Sichuan Army's more than 600,000 troops. If Chang'an is defeated,
Qingni Pass will be defeated without a fight, and Guanzhong will not be protected if it follows. I am afraid that I will have to retreat to Jingyi in the future, and the King of Shu will have wasted several years of hard work."
Liu Xun bit his lip, feeling pain in his heart. He did not expect that such a catastrophic disaster would happen for the first time he had been in charge of the country for one year, but Liu Xun did not know that Zhou Bujie did not tell him the worse outcome.
Guanzhong was lost and Yongliang could not hold it. Of course, the Sichuan army had no choice but to retreat to Hanzhong. On the other side of Jiangdong, Zhou Buyi did not believe that Lu Su would throw eggs at the stone, hastening the demise of Jiangdong and the disaster of Jiangdong's family. Those people in Jiangdong were better than
The monkey is still fine.
Since they dare to attack, they must be sure of victory. If the Jiangdong Army wins and Guanzhong is lost, the Jingzhou and Sichuan Army will also suffer a devastating morale blow, and Jingzhou will inevitably be lost.
When Liu Zhang comes back, I'm afraid only a piece of land in Yizhou will be left. What will be the consequences? Even Zhou Bujie can't imagine it, let alone use it to scare Liu Xun at this time.
The generals discussed matters and heard that tens of thousands of troops were heading straight for Chang'an. All the civilian generals were shocked. Chang'an was put on full alert. Various defensive tools and equipment were brought to the top of the city with rolls of wood and tung oil, and arrows and spears were constantly fired at the city gate.
The whole of Chang'an was busy with transportation.
"What happened? Why is everyone in such a mess?"
In the gloomy weather, Fu Shou stood in the attic and looked at the busy people in the outer palace from a distance. The maid replied: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, I heard that Cao Jun is coming and will arrive in Chang'an this afternoon. Now the whole city is preparing for war.
.”
"What? Cao Jun came to Chang'an?" Fu Shou frowned.
"I don't know the specific slave. I heard that the situation is very critical, but I feel that as long as His Highness the King of Shu comes back, no matter how many people come, they will not be his opponent." The maid replied.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu?" Fu Shou smiled, a little desolately: "Will Liu Zhang come back?"
"Recently, people are saying that Your Highness is not dead. Queen Mother, don't you know?"
"You believe those rumors, but they are just to stabilize the morale of the army." Fu Shou looked at the gloomy weather in the west and said slowly: "Liu Zhang, you have paid so much for your great cause. If you are alive in heaven, you will see today
With this kind of scene, wouldn’t you think all your efforts during your lifetime are ridiculous?”
…
In the back hall of the King of Shu's Palace, a maid ran into a small courtyard, where a woman in tight-fitting white clothes was practicing swordplay, and an elegant woman was sitting at the table feeding a five or six-year-old child.
"Miss, madam, madam, madam, something big has happened. Something big has happened."
The woman in white who was practicing the sword returned the sword to its sheath, wiped the sweat with her sleeve, and said to the maid dissatisfied: "What's the big deal? It's none of our business if anything big happens."
The woman in white is Sun Shangxiang, the sister of Sun Quan, the daughter of Sun Jian. The elegant woman is Qiao Wushuang, the great Qiao. When Sun Shangxiang married to Chang'an, Liu Zhang had already led his troops to the Western Regions. Sun Shangxiang and Qiao Wushuang lived in the Queen of Shu's palace.
Come down.
Huang Yue didn't know Liu Zhang's intentions, so he didn't make the decision without permission. He treated Sun Shangxiang as a princess and kept the maid Sun Shangxiang brought. Sun Shangxiang proposed to live with Qiao Wushuang, and Huang Yue agreed, without feeling sorry for Sun Shangxiang.
For more than half a year, Sun Shangxiang has been either practicing sword practice or helping Qiao Wushuang take care of Sun Shao every day. He used to be very active, but because of what he heard from Qiao Wushuang, Sun Shangxiang felt very disappointed, and he has not behaved himself this year.
, all treated as guests.
Some time ago, the news of Liu Zhang's death came, and Sun Shangxiang was happy for a while, because what Sun Shangxiang was most worried about for the past six months was Liu Zhang's return. This meant that she had to face the issue of her own identity.
But after a long time, it faded away, and Sun Shangxiang realized that he was a person who had lost his purpose. The family had killed his brother, but he could not take revenge. Where could he go in this world?
Sun Shangxiang felt very confused and could only kill time by practicing swordplay, but fortunately, Qiao Wushuang talked with her every day, so she did not suffer from depression or anything.
Sun Shangxiang, dressed in white, walked to sit next to Sun Shao. She wiped Sun Shao's chin with a handkerchief. Sun Shangxiang used to like wearing red clothes. But now she feels inexplicably upset when she sees bright colors.
"Miss, this is a big event." The maid said anxiously: "I heard that tens of thousands of Cao's troops came to Chang'an. The leader of Cao's troops was Cao Zhang, Cao Cao's son, who has outstanding military strength. There is also Wang Yue, the best swordsman in the world. The Sichuan soldiers were originally
Just because Liu Zhang died, people are in panic, and Chang'an may not be safe now."
"What?" Qiao Wushuang frowned first, and Sun Shangxiang's hand wiping Sun Shao's chin also stopped in the air.
"It's absolutely true, Miss, Madam, let's think about what we will do if the city is destroyed." The maidservant said urgently.
"Yes, yes." Several maids came over, all of them armed with swords. There were twelve of them. They were all maids brought by Sun Shangxiang from Jiangdong. All of them knew martial arts.
"How about we go." A maid suggested: "Let's go say goodbye to Mrs. Huang. Mrs. Huang is a kind person. This moment should not be difficult for us, right?"
After arriving in Chang'an, everyone in the Sun family was initially uneasy and wary. However, this wariness slowly disintegrated under Huang Yue's ladylike demeanor. Now everyone in the Sun family has a good impression of Huang Yue.
"Mrs. Huang was kind to us, and we left. Isn't it a chilling moment like this?" Sun Shangxiang said. Sun Shangxiang is a woman with clear grudges. Although she has a bad impression of Liu Zhang, Huang Yue does have a negative impression of the Sun family.
Needless to say, if it weren't for Qiao Wushuang's company, I wouldn't know how I would have spent this year.
Sun Shangxiang was still grateful to Huang Yue.
"Xiangxiang is right, but even if we don't care about Mrs. Huang, where can we go if we leave?" Qiao Wushuang looked at Sun Shangxiang and the maids.
A group of people fell silent. These maids already knew about Sun Ce. Now Jiangdong is controlled by the clan, Sun Quan has become a puppet, and he is still addicted to some immortal ways. They will be frustrated when they go back. In comparison, it is better here.
Although Sun Shangxiang has twelve female guards, except that he cannot show off his wife and run around, he still has basic personal freedoms.
"Xiangxiang." Qiao Wushuang said after a while: "We should stand on the same front as the Sichuan army and even help them defend the city."
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Sun Shangxiang looked at Qiao Wushuang in confusion: "Sister-in-law, after listening to your words, I no longer hate Liu Zhang so much, and I understand why Liu Zhang slaughtered the family so much, but I have no good impression of him at all.
,Why should we help the Sichuan Army?"
"Because you don't like the King of Shu, you don't help the Sichuan army?" Qiao Wushuang actually looked at Sun Shangxiang with a smile. Sun Shangxiang suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his pretty face turned red. The maids around him also chuckled.
It's very incongruous in this tense atmosphere.
Sun Shangxiang hit the maid next to him: "Okay, sister-in-law, you have misunderstood what I said. It's not because of my impression of Liu Zhang. Well, no, it's not from the perspective of Liu Zhang's wife. Oh, it's not either. In short, I
I think we have no reason to help the Sichuan Army."
Qiao Wushuang shook his head and said nothing. As a person who has experienced this, Qiao Wushuang understood that Sun Shangxiang's way of thinking was normal. Whether she wanted to or not, she was already married to Liu Zhang. Even if she didn't admit it verbally, she knew it in her heart.
So sometimes when thinking about things, I unconsciously consider things from the perspective of Liu Zhang's wife, which is understandable.
"It's not without reason, Xiangxiang, have you forgotten that we still have hatred?" Qiao Wushuang said, Sun Shangxiang was suddenly stunned, and the blush on his face disappeared instantly.
Qiao Wushuang glanced at the sky in the southeast, and sighed after a while: "Xiangxiang, Mrs. Huang allows us to move around. We are not closed to the news here. How long has your brother been practicing immortality? How long has he been ignoring political affairs?
?
I'm afraid that in less than half a year, or at most a year, Jiangdong will completely become the domain of Lu Su, Zhang Hong and others. We will never be able to return to Jiangdong, and revenge is far away.
If we want revenge, we can only rely on the Sichuan Army. I told you that the area east of Jiangdong was conquered by your brother and my husband. If it’s surnamed Sun, then I don’t have to touch it. But if it’s not surnamed Sun,
Then everything about your brother will be gone, and I will definitely take revenge.
But I am a weak woman, and it is useless for you to know any martial arts. How can we take revenge? In the end, we can only count on the Sichuan Army. The Sichuan Army is the mortal enemy of those noble families. Apart from the Sichuan Army, we cannot count on anyone.
So we are on the same front as the Sichuan Army, and this is the reason why we help the Sichuan Army."
Sun Shangxiang listened to Qiao Wushuang's words and was silent for a long time. He raised his head and said, "But what can we do to help the Sichuan army? Do you want me to lead the twelve sisters to defend the city? What role do I have among thousands of troops? Are they willing?
It’s hard to say whether you are willing to let us guard it.”
"That's not necessarily true." Qiao Wushuang took out something from his arms, which was like a kit. "Take this to Mrs. Huang and ask her to give it to Liu Xun."
"What is this?" Sun Shangxiang took it over, opened the brocade bag, and saw a piece of silk inside. The maid next to her said, "Madam, Madam Huang went out early in the morning and is not in the palace now."
"Where did she go?" Qiao Wushuang frowned.
"I heard that it was to appease the morale of the troops. Now that the Sichuan Army has lost its master, the morale of the troops is unstable. Mrs. Huang has gone to the front line. Chang'an is so big, but I don't know where she went."
"What?" Qiao Wushuang frowned deeply and said to Sun Shangxiang: "Then you take this to find Liu Xun. If Liu Xun doesn't see you, take it and give it to the Sichuan general guarding the city. This matter is very important. Xiang
Xiang, you go immediately."
Sun Shangxiang also finished reading the piece of silk, and his expression changed. He hurriedly took the brocade bag and went out. The other maids also went out separately to find Huang Yue and other important Sichuan army generals.
Sun Shangxiang found out that Liu Xun had also gone to the top of the city, and hurriedly took two maids to the top of the city. They begged his father and grandma under the city. The soldiers did not allow Sun Shangxiang to go to the city. He could not see Liu Xun at all, nor any other senior generals.
.
Sun Shangxiang saw some generals organizing the transportation of supplies under the city, and stepped forward one by one. However, the soldiers at the top of the city were busy, and there were people moving supplies everywhere.
Cao Zhang suddenly attacked, and Chang'an was poorly prepared. Even with all its strength, it was impossible to be fully prepared before the enemy attacked the city. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
