Chapter 507 Personal Conquest in Guanzhong Two Vomits Blood
Author: Soy Sauce Mixed History
After Liu Bei finished reading the Northern Expedition motto dedicated to his ancestors, the Ancestral Temple fell into silence.
Suddenly it was announced outside the sword that Liangzhou was being taken over. When I first heard about it, my clothes were filled with tears.
That would be the state Liu Bei was in just now - crying with joy.
But after crying with joy, the tears on Liu Bei's face gradually disappeared, especially after reading the contents of the Northern Expedition's proclamation.
Weeping with joy, he rejected the behavior that his unworthy descendant and elder Ladu should have, but he should not reject the behavior of an emperor.
"Someone is coming!"
Liu Bei let out a clear drink.
The chamberlain who heard Liu Bei's call immediately came to Liu Bei's side from outside the temple with his waist bent.
The chamberlain thought that Liu Bei would have some instructions, but after he arrived, Liu Bei did not say anything immediately.
Liu Bei, who noticed that the chamberlain was standing behind him, looked at the ancestors' spiritual tablets surrounded by smoke, and his thoughts seemed to have returned to the first year of Chuping.
That year, Dong Zhuo was in chaos. Liu Bei's mentor Lu Zhi offended Dong Zhuo and was dismissed from office. He returned to his hometown and passed through the plains.
Liu Bei went out of the city in person to greet Lu Zhi.
That year, there was almost no consensus among the people of Tiandong that the Han Dynasty's mausoleum was late.
At the banquet, the drunken Lu Zhi once asked Liu Bei: "The Han Dynasty is covered with dust, what should you do?"
Liu Bei replied: "I am willing to wipe the dust with myself."
Lu Zhifu asked: "What if the Han Dynasty falls apart?"
Faced with the more serious consequences of making a mistake, the fashionable and young Liu Bei obviously hesitated.
But Liu Bei soon gave the answer:
"I am willing to make up the blue sky step by step."
Liu Bei that year had a very firm tone.
Thinking of the past, Liu Bei let out a heavy breath.
Will he ever change?
Liu Bei handed the Northern Expedition Proclamation in his lap to the leg of the chamberlain behind him, and said loudly: "I ordered people to copy this Northern Expedition Proclamation into many copies and distribute it to all the major states and counties, so that it will be known to everyone."
After the chamberlain heard whether the appeal was related to the Northern Expedition, he did not dare to neglect it at all.
He respectfully took the Northern Expedition message from Liu Bei's leg and begged to leave. However, Liu Bei's words from the east made the servants stunned.
"I ordered the minister to prepare an imperial edict and spread it to the world. I beg you to personally conduct the Northern Expedition!"
After hearing Liu Bei's words, the chamberlain showed surprise on his face. Worried about Liu Bei's health, he rushed to persuade him:
"Your Majesty, there is a general in war. The battlefield is dangerous and the journey is difficult. Why risk your life?"
As an old man who has always been by Liu Bei's side, does the chamberlain know that Liu Bei's health is not optimistic at all?
Although Dangdong is not the best time for the Han army to make the Northern Expedition, Liu Bei's body will definitely be unable to withstand the thousands of miles of expedition.
While admonishing, the chamberlain's words were faintly choked with sobs.
But when faced with the advice of his chamberlain, Liu Bei calmly replied:
"I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty!
You have no joke."
After Liu Bei said those words, the chamberlain's eyes were filled with tears, but he knew that there was no turning around.
However, he held back his tears at first, took the Northern Expedition proclamation under his legs and walked out.
When the chamberlain walked out of the Ancestral Temple, Liu Bei looked at the ranking of Taizu and Shizu among the six tablets in front of him.
He did not dare to compete with the two ancestors, but Liu Bei was not afraid of the things that the two ancestors were afraid of.
Liu Bei bowed deeply to the row in front of him:
If destiny is on his side, at least let him personally enshrine the spiritual tablets of his ancestors and return them to the Chang'an Ancestral Temple.
When Liu Bei was worshiping in the east, a breeze suddenly blew up outside the Ancestral Temple. When the breeze blew over the chimes outside the temple, it made a sweet sound.
The sweet sounds were like the whispers of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty:
"Let's go.
Let’s go.”
Regardless of Buli's success or failure, having such descendants is enough to make every ancestor feel proud.
Then you deserve the surname Liu!
In August of the fourth year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, two shocking news broke out in Chengdu.
The first news is that the Han general Mi Yang took advantage of the monstrous Han River to destroy more than 100,000 Wei troops, and the crisis in Liangzhou was relieved in one battle.
But just when the people outside Chengdu were still recovering from the shock, Shangshutai followed the emperor's order and issued an even more shocking news.
The emperor begged for a personal expedition to the Northern Expedition!
When the news spread in the streets outside Chengdu, the people outside Chengdu were brought to a new climax.
The country fell to the enemy's legs, but the majestic East was able to stay in the south. This has always been a pain in the hearts of all the Han people, and it has even been a shame.
Shame often breeds deep hatred in this world.
For the Han people of this generation, if you tell them about the national strategy, they may not understand it, but if you tell them that they have come to seek revenge from the East, this will arouse great enthusiasm.
Is this the sense of honor and disgrace that has been engraved in the hearts of every Han citizen since the time of Emperor Xiaowu?
Especially the four words "can't the emperor personally conquer it" sound even more heart-stirring.
How could such a grand event not cause a huge sensation outside Chengdu?
And just as the news spread rapidly outside Chengdu, the majestic and passionate Northern Expedition essay written by Mi Yang also began to spread at an extremely fast speed.
For a time, all the people outside Chengdu who could not read were scrambling to copy the contents of the Northern Expedition proclamation.
In the midst of the enthusiasm of the people, Chengdu became famous for a while.
And the surge in Chengdu City spread towards the outside world at an extremely fast speed.
Announcement to Tiandong, Xian envoys heard about it!
Compared with the lively cheers south of Qishan Mountain, Chencang north of Qishan Mountain seemed dead.
As the closest important town to the front line, a steady stream of remnants of soldiers fled from the front line to outside Chencang City not long ago.
However, due to the obstruction of Xiegu Road and Luogu Road, and the previous rainy season, the two mountain roads were muddy and difficult to navigate, so there were very few remnants like that.
Once the number of people is small, no matter how shocking the news they tell is, Hao Zhao will not believe it.
Due to the strict military laws of Cao Wei, deserters often occurred in the army. After the deserters were captured, were they exempted from crime? What reason could not be given?
Hao Zhao has seen too many things like that.
In the beginning, Hao Zhao didn't even send anyone to the front line to investigate the news.
As time goes by, more and more broken troops fled outside Chencang City, including many generals.
The most terrifying thing was that after examining their identities, Hao Zhao discovered that most of the defeated troops were the defenders of Xiegu and Luogu.
What does it mean that the defenders in those two places fled to Chencang?
Thinking of Xiegu and Luogu's pursuit of sex, Hao Zhao, can't help but shudder.
When things got to that point, Hao Zhaoye immediately sent scouts to the front line to investigate the news.
But none of the scouts sent out ever came back.
This made Hao Zhao feel more and more frightened, but at the same time he couldn't help but retain a glimmer of hope.
Maybe, things are not so bad after all!
At that time, Hao Zhao believed that the front line had lost the battle, but the extent of the defeat was very uncertain.
But a person who escaped to Chencang soon broke Hao Zhao's ambition.
Later General Zhu Ling!
After Zhu Ling fled to Chencang, he was almost like a beggar.
After devouring a lot of food to replenish the energy in his body, Zhu Ling told Hao Zhao the news that was like a bolt from the blue.
"Big water, big water filling the sky!
His entire army has been wiped out!"
Zhu Ling conveyed the information to Hao Zhao with a look of horror and tears.
After hearing the information, Hao Zhao was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
He shook Zhu Ling desperately and asked him about the situation of Cao Zhen or other Wei generals, but Zhu Lingcuo didn't know anything about it.
Before the flood came, the Wei generals scrambled to find a rescue boat, but the fierce flooding of the flood had already scattered all the Wei generals' boats. Where could they find the general?
At that moment, Hao Zhao just realized why there had been no reports of defeat from the front line.
The biggest reason is not that the mountain road blocked it, nor that Cao Zhen deliberately concealed it, but that the entire Wei army's organization and command system were destroyed by Mi Yang!
In that case, who should issue a failure report?
The scouts who returned later brought Hao Zhao another shocking news.
Liu Bei is about to personally conquer Guanzhong!
At the same time as that news arrived, Mi Yang's letter calling for the Northern Expedition came out.
After reading the description of the Northern Expedition, Hao Zhao was so frightened that he could not speak.
If the news of the annihilation of the entire army on the front line had not been received, the power of that Northern Expedition message would not have been so great.
Can it be done? Can it be done?
What frightened Hao Zhao the most was how he was going to report those two pieces of news to Luoyang!
Even if he no longer wanted to report the two bad news to Luoyang, Hao Zhaofu could not bear the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Besides, if he didn't report to Luoyang, how could Guanzhong get reinforcements?
After finally weighing the pros and cons, Hao Zhao gritted his teeth and wrote the two pieces of news into a report, and ordered someone to rush the report six hundred miles away to Luoyang.
And when the messenger arrived at the Chancellery in Luoyang, the whole of Luoyang exploded instantly.
All the subjects of the Wei Dynasty in Luoyang experienced for the first time what it means to feel like the world is falling apart.
In the urgently convened parliament where all the important ministers gathered, Cao Pi looked at the long report in his leg with a livid face.
After seeing the news that Cao Zhen's entire army had been wiped out and that he himself was missing, Cao Pi couldn't help but cover his chest.
Sadness, anger, regret, all kinds of emotions are preceded by the word extreme.
The shock caused by flooding one's own army of more than 100,000 people was huge.
Especially after knowing that the dike that killed more than 100,000 of our own troops was built by our own troops, the anger and shame were like two pairs of thighs, constantly slapping Cao Pi's face.
But in recent years, Cao Pi has received too many reports of defeat. His external spirit has been tempered, and he finally resisted the act of spitting out a mouthful of old blood.
After seeing Mi Yang's extremely arrogant statement about the Northern Expedition, Cao Pi finally couldn't hold back anymore and sprayed the blood accumulated in his chest directly into his leg.
It is not true that Cao Pi's foreign policy was powerful, but Mi Yang's letter on the Northern Expedition was too destructive.
It's enough to insult Cao family members for generations at the beginning. Many people have done that.
But in the main content of the appeal, Mi Yang kept mocking his helplessness and Wei Jun's helplessness in an extremely arrogant tone.
The most disgusting thing is that he used the wrong comparison method!
When Mi Yang's extremely arrogant taunts were combined with his horrifying achievements, the impact was like steel knives that turned into reality and were inserted into Cao Pi's heart one by one.
While those handfuls of steel stabbed Cao Pi's heart with blood, it also undoubtedly cut into pieces in front of the world the political slogan that Cao Wei had been promoting, "Destiny is in Wei".
"The power of God is unstoppable, and the sin of disobedience is serious."
That sentence undoubtedly misunderstood the political and legal system of Cao Wei and caused great harm.
And judging from the consequences, the sentence "I'm afraid that the enemy's curses have not stopped, but Liangzhou's sword has already sunk into his chest" is not even a boast.
At that moment, Cao Pi felt a burning pain in his chest.
Seeing that the emperor suddenly vomited blood because of the report in his leg, all the ministers in the palace were already panicking, and then they were even more panicked and full of fear.
What's more, many ministers wanted to rush in to investigate Cao Pi's situation, but were blocked by the imperial army outside the palace, so they kept jumping to the east in a hurry.
Fortunately, King Cao Rui of Qi was not blocked by the imperial army and came to Cao Pi to anxiously explore his body.
Seeing Cao Rui coming, Cao Pi grabbed Cao Rui's leg.
Due to the grief and anger in his heart, the veins in Cao Pi's legs bulged. The force made Cao Rui feel a little painful, but Cao Rui did not pull his legs away after all.
At first, Cao Pi seemed to realize that he was right. He slowly let go of his legs and asked Cao Rui to return to his original position.
After Cao Rui returned to his original position with worried eyes, the ministers outside the palace saw that Cao Pi seemed to be fine, so they all started to talk in various directions:
"His army of more than 100,000 men was completely wiped out, and the thieves no longer have any constraints. With the thieves' advantage, the hussar general and the general conquering Shu are in danger."
It was Wang Lang who said that, Wang Da Sikong was extremely angry.
After Wang Lang finished speaking, Situ Huaxin on the side directly answered:
"What do you mean by the two generals? Don't you see that the enemy's target is Chang'an? If Chang'an is lost, half of the country will fall to the enemy's legs!"
When he said that, Hua Xin sighed, causing the crown on his head to shake.
And when the two most senior officials finished expressing their views, a quarrel soon broke out outside the palace.
Some say they are asking for reinforcements to be mobilized to rescue Guo Huai and Cao Hong, and some are asking for reinforcements to defend Guanzhong. Can you "sages" please just tell me where the reinforcements are coming from?
Such suggestions are more of a conscious exultation by the great Wei Xianliangs to relieve the pain in their hearts.
From Cao Pi's eyes looking toward the east, he saw that all the virtuous people he relied on in the past moon, and the famous celebrities in the east of the sky who were respected by everyone in the past moon, were like stupid donkeys at the foot of Mount Tai when it was about to collapse. He screamed indiscriminately and hurriedly scurried around.
How could it be so solemn and wise?
Seeing that scene, Cao Pi felt his chest hurt more and more.
It hurt so much that Cao Pi's thoughts began to become blurry.
At that moment, Cao Pi recalled the content of the Northern Expedition essay.
A thought suddenly came to his mind: The Wei Dynasty has always treated other countries as its flesh and blood, is it now the Wei Dynasty's turn to be its flesh and blood?
After realizing that, Cao Pi spit out another large mouthful of blood. This time he could no longer hold on and fell directly towards the throne beside him.
Before Cao Pi was completely unconscious, he saw the imperial guards who could no longer stop the ministers running towards him, and he also saw Cao Rui.
Then he fainted completely.
