Everyone knows that without the support of Cao Wei, Gongsun Yuan could not be the opponent of Wei Ba. Defeat was inevitable, and the difference was only the length of time.
But no one expected that Gongsun Yuan would be defeated so quickly and so cleanly. There were only a handful of real battles. Except for the cavalry battle next to the Xiao Liao River that lasted less than half an hour, only Liao Sui could really mention it.
The battle of Liaosui only lasted four days in total. The first three days were clearing obstacles and setting up formations, and the real attack was also only half an hour.
In half an hour, Liaosui became a sea of fire.
Half an hour later, Gongsun Yuan's elite guard cavalry surrendered, Gongsun Xiu died in battle, Gongsun Yuan was captured, and Yan State was destroyed.
This is a real destruction. This is not a war that is evenly matched, and it cannot even be called a war. The small Liaoshu City should not have the honor of being shot by five hundred thunderbolt cars.
Thinking back to the time when Wei Ba attacked Wancheng, he used a thousand thunderbolt chariots.
Wei Ba used the Battle of Liaoshu to prove that the siege tactics had changed, and also used the Battle of Liaoshu to destroy the will of Gongsun Yuan and his son. He then shocked the entire Youzhou with the rapid demise of Yan State and announced his return to the whole world.
.
Wei Ba entered Xiangping City and quickly introduced various measures to appease the people and restore people's livelihood. The spring in Liaodong was later than that in the Central Plains. When the Central Plains were already in full swing, the spring in Liaodong had just arrived. Wei Ba conquered Xiang at this time
It is flat, just in time for spring plowing.
In just half a month, the land of Liaodong seemed to wake up in the spring breeze. Following Wei Ba's merchants from the south, they poured into the grassland with the news of the destruction of Yan State. The fertile black soil. The cat and winter cat had been on the fertile black soil for half a year.
The farmers walked out of the simple house and exchanged the animal skins accumulated from hunting in winter for new farm tools. While listening to the merchants talking about news outside, they realized that the Gongsun family, which had dominated Liaodong for more than 40 years, no longer existed.
.
For ordinary people, they did not realize how much changes there were. They just listened to it as a story, and then felt that the things brought by merchants seemed to be cheaper. The same money was not only possible to buy the required prices.
In addition, you can also buy a or two of the things called candy for your children. Or buy a small can of leaves called tea, and after a moment of joy, you will return to your almost unchanging life.
However, for those who are thousands of miles away, all this happening in Liaodong has extraordinary significance.
Lu Xun was the first to receive the news. A pigeon named Xiaoyudian brought the news of the Liaodong victory. There was only a simple sentence on the note: On April 29, the fifteenth year, he entered Xiangping.
Liaodong Ping.
Lu Xun pondered for a moment, turned around and said to the song general Lu Lan: "Which day did Wei Ziyu set out from Jiangling?"
"What's wrong around the 20th day of the first lunar month?"
"He has pacified Liaodong." Lu Xun handed the note to Lu Lan. Lu Lan took it and took it for a look, changed color in horror, and blurted out: "How is it possible?"
"I also find it incredible, but I believe Wei Ziyu is not the kind of person who falsely reports his military achievements." Lu Xun laughed: "He has been dormant in Jiaozhou for two years. He needs such a happy victory to declare the world. Besides, Gongsun
A man like Yuan is not his opponent. This is not an equal war, and it is reasonable to win quickly."
Lu Lan nodded and said, "What level is it conveyed?"
"Let's talk about it for ten days. At present, as long as you and I know it."
Lu Lan smiled. Lu Xun wanted to keep a secret communication method between him and Wei Ba. In particular, he didn't want Zhuge Ke to know. As the deputy general of the Yingchuan army, Zhuge Ke thought he was in power, but in fact he was nothing.
Don't know.
"Zhuge Ke has been walking with those generals frequently recently, so the general should be careful."
"Let him make trouble." Lu Xun laughed silently: "From tomorrow, I will be sick and go back to Wuxian to stay for a while. I will leave it here to you. Don't worry about Zhuge Ke's actions, as long as you don't move your hands.
You just follow your orders in everything, don’t argue with him.”
Lu Lan was puzzled, but he didn't ask, just nodded.
The next day, Lu Xun summoned all the generals and announced that he was unwell. He handed over the major affairs in the camp to Zhuge Ke, assisted by Lu Lan, hoping that other generals could cooperate sincerely, guard Yingchuan, and maintain pressure on Luoyang.
After a loud response, Zhuge Ke was even more overjoyed and swore that he would definitely live up to General Lu's expectations.
Lu Xun then drove away lightly, and at the same time wrote a letter to the emperor who had moved to Guanzhong, asking for a rest of his illness.
...
Chang'an has been very lively recently. The emperor personally led the army to Guanzhong. This is probably the biggest event since Cao Cao temporarily lived in Guanzhong when he conquers Hanzhong. In order to prepare the palace for the emperor, Li Yan started to be busy very early. After several years of hard work, Guanzhong actually
Just now, I have achieved self-sufficient food and clothing, but I am far from being rich. Preparing for taking over the task has become a very arduous task.
Li Yan couldn't afford so much money, so he had to borrow money from the Guanzhong Family, promising to return it year by year in the future. Although the task of returning was from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the person who borrowed it was Li Yan. In order to complete this task, he almost gave the Guanzhong Family to the Guanzhong Family.
Offended all.
He felt increasingly that he was fooled by Zhuge Liang. If he didn't accept the emperor, he had to borrow money from the aristocratic family. If the aristocratic family refused to borrow, he had to borrow money, which would inevitably offend people. After he had done all the evil people,
The emperor came forward to be a good person. He summoned the powerful Guanzhong, promoted the title on a large scale, and calmed the people's hearts. The emperor was a good person and brought another consequence. No one took Li Yan, the general seriously.
.
Although Ma Cao and Jin Quan, who were recommended by him, entered the Northern Army as they wished, served as the Captain of Shooting and the Captain of Tunqi respectively, they were very grateful to him, but their voices were drowned in the praises of other families to the emperor.
What does it work?
Li Yan was very annoyed by this. He felt that he had been stripped of all his energy by Zhuge Liang before he knew it.
Soon, he received another bad news, someone suggested that the emperor move the capital to Guanzhong. There are many reasons, and most of them always sound very beautiful. Li Yan and Ma Su had considered moving the capital to Guanzhong and regaining the emperor from Zhuge Liang's hands.
Now this suggestion is brought up by someone else, which makes Li Yan uneasy.
Sure enough, the emperor issued an edict asking the Prime Minister to arrive in Guanzhong and discuss the capital with General Li Yan.
The truth is revealed. Zhuge Liang has settled the matter in Chengdu. Now he is going to Guanzhong to fight for power with Li Yan. Zhuge Liang is far away in Chengdu and he is under such great pressure. When Zhuge Liang arrives at Guanzhong, wouldn’t he have no way to survive?
Li Yan was very confused and asked Fa Miao for advice. Fa Miao said that for the current plan, he could only hold the military power firmly in his hands. If the Prime Minister wanted to come to Guanzhong, then he would hand over the movement of the capital to him.
In general, the move of the emperor to Guanzhong is not a bad thing for the General's Mansion, so he can always be closer to the emperor. As for the confrontation with the prime minister, it is inevitable. It is better to come early than to be late.
After thinking about it, Li Yan had to do so. He immediately wrote to the emperor and asked to lead his troops to Hedong to drive the emperor forward.
The emperor agreed and ordered General Wu Yi, the cavalry general, to be responsible for Chang'an defense. General Li Yan went out of Hedong and prepared to advance Bingzhou. At the same time, he ordered General Meng Da, General Lu Xun, to make plans to contain Luoyang and cooperate with General Li.
Strict action.
Li Yan felt more and more uneasy. He felt that the harder he struggled, the deeper he fell into the trap. Whether it was advancing or retreating, it seemed that he was in Zhuge Liang's plan. Staying in Chang'an may lose his military power and entering Hedong.
It also means being pushed into a trap by Zhuge Liang.
Just when he was in trouble, Zhuge Liang rushed to Guanzhong. Before he had time to discuss the moving of the capital, Lu Xun's document requesting a sick leave was sent to Guanzhong.
Lu Xun is a military post, and his medical leave report must be submitted to the General's Office for approval. Li Yan was shocked and frightened when he heard the news. The deputy general of the Yingchuan Corps was General Zhuge Ke. Once Lu Xun retreated, Zhuge Ke naturally became the supreme general.
, and then mastered the Yingchuan Legion. Lu Xun was retiring at this time. Was he really sick or some agreement reached with Zhuge Liang? Lu Xun has always been inclined to Wei Ba, so would this matter be Wei Ba and Zhuge Liang
A compromise reached?
Li Yan was frightened and asked Fa Miao to analyze. Fa Miao first denied the possibility of Wei Ba and Zhuge Liang's compromise. At this point, how could Wei Ba compromise with Zhuge Liang? To compromise, it would only be Lu Xun's compromise. This may be Zhuge Liang
The arrangement is that no matter whether Lu Xun retreated truly or fakely, Zhuge Ke obtained military power, and the beneficiary was Zhuge Liang, so the only one who started the culprit could be Zhuge Liang himself.
Li Yan is skeptical.
When Li Yan was confused, Zhuge Liang was also very confused. He hoped that Zhuge Ke could seize military power from Lu Xun, but at this moment, Lu Xun requested a rest in illness, which made him feel a little uneasy. This victory seemed to have come too smoothly.
.Just like playing chess, when the opponent takes the initiative to give away the baby, it usually means that there is a trap behind it.
Will Lu Xun’s rest in illness also be a trap? Will it be a trap set by Wei Ba, and will Li Yan participate in it?
Just when Li Yan and Zhuge Liang were both suspicious of each other,
An explosive news came to Chang'an: General Wei Ba of the chariot and cavalry pacified Liaodong.
This news came too suddenly. From the emperor to the ministers, no one could have expected that Wei Ba could pacify Liaodong so quickly. That's right, Wei Ba brought 50,000 troops to fight this time, and his strength was definitely not comparable to last time.
. However, Liaodong is thousands of miles away, and the Gongsun family has been in Liaodong for more than 40 years, and there is no foundation at all. There are many Hu people who are subordinate to Dongyi, and their troops are very considerable. Even if they are not the opponent of Wei Ba in the end, they will persist for a while.
There is no problem with time.
But how long has it been now? Based on this time, Wei Ba just arrived in Liaodong. Could it be that Gongsun Yuan surrendered before he could fight?
Otherwise, Wei Ba’s combat power was too strong, so that Gongsun Yuan could not resist at all and died in one battle?
Before the Shu Han monarch and ministers digested the news, another news came from Luoyang: Emperor Wei Cao Rui died, and King Cao Fang of Qi, who had just been established less than half a month, ascended the throne, Empress Guo was the empress dowager, and the harem was governed by the government, Sima Yi, Xiahou Ba, and Cao Shuang
As the regent minister, King Cao Yu of Lu unexpectedly failed to be elected, and he ordered him to return to his fiefdom to study immediately. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the first edict was to order the general Sima Yi to reopen negotiations with Shu Han to avoid further escalation of the war and injure him.
