Chapter 302 Home Country
Game of Thrones is always everywhere.
After Sima Yi died of illness, the relationship between Guo Huai and Luoyang became subtle.
Apart from Yang Zheng, the people who least wanted to see the Shu army defeated were Guo Huai.
Since there was a governor of Yongliang, why did Luoyang repeatedly appoint General Anxi to hold the official position of supervising the military affairs of Yongliang?
It was Sima Fu, the Taiwei of the current dynasty, who personally guarded Chang'an.
This was obviously directed at Guo Huai.
At that time, Guo Huai was already sixty-five years old. He was of the same era as Zhuge Wuhou, Sima Yi, and Sima Fu, and was a veteran of the four dynasties.
When people reach this age, they have to think more deeply.
A Yongliang that was integrated by Sima Fu would have nothing to do without him as the governor of Yongliang.
"So Yang Zheng is still alive." Guo Huai drank a cup of hot tea and exhaled hot breath.
"What about the Shu army?" his nephew Guo Zhan asked.
"Jiang Wei, it's not that easy to defeat. Let's wait and see." Guo Huai wrapped his mink fur tightly and let out a long breath.
In Guanzhong in September, the cold wind suddenly started, and the weather has turned cold.
Guo Tong pointed to the top of his head, "Recently, another secret message came from the palace."
As Guo Huai grew older, his energy was not as good as before, and he had many problems. He relied on Guo Tong and Guo Zhan for internal and external affairs.
Guo Huai couldn't help but frown. The emperor had been looking for him for more than a day or two.
Although there are no specific instructions, this kind of exchange itself is extremely dangerous.
Moreover, Guo Huai suspected that these letters were probably not sent by the emperor. Luoyang was tightly controlled by Sima Shi. How could the secret letters be sent out so easily?
However, Guo Huai had to accept it, because everyone in the world thought that he should be a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty.
Sometimes Guo Huai also feels that he is a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty. He has been favored by Emperor Wen and has been in charge of Yongliang for thirty years. His favor is no less than that of Sima Yi and Wang Ling.
"I believe you can just take a look, don't take it seriously." Guo Huai said a little lonely.
He is indeed somewhat loyal to Cao Wei, but in today's world, he is even more loyal to the Guo family!
Family and country, family and country, family first and country later.
Cao Shuang is not the only one who loves horses and horses.
Didn’t Sima Yi kiss his family for so many years, and that’s how Sima Shi became what he is today?
At this point, Guo Huai sees it clearly than anyone else.
Some people are manipulated like puppets throughout their lives, unable to control themselves.
And some people can influence the general trend of the world with just a flick of their fingers.
Guo Huai survived Sima Yi, so he didn't want to fall in front of Sima Shi.
In today's Wei State, from the perspective of Master Sima, who is in greater danger?
Of course not Yang Zheng, who lives in a remote place in the northwest.
No matter how impressive Yang Zheng's work is, Xiping is separated from Luoyang by many mountains.
Chang'an is right next to Luoyang.
In terms of background, qualifications, prestige, influence, and strength, Guo Huai is far ahead of Yang Zheng.
Therefore, Guo Huai had to believe that purging the Shu army and Xiping was a lie, but taking the opportunity to integrate Yongliang and suppress himself was the real thing.
Late September of the third year of Jiaping.
Wei Di Taoist Li Jian opened the city and surrendered to Shu Zhangyi.
The battle situation in Longyou is once again turbulent.
It is not Deng Ai who is besieging Jiang Wei now.
Instead, Didao and Wuchengshan were the horns of each other, suppressing Deng Ai in reverse.
After months of intrigue, the real bloody battle began.
Jiang Wei didn't waste a moment and attacked Deng Ai with the reinforcements from the direction of Didao.
On the battlefield, dense rain of arrows and artillery stones flew across the sky, hitting each other's military formations, and screams followed.
The infantry formation advanced layer by layer with large shields and spears, devouring young lives one after another.
The cavalry were like two long snakes, strangled repeatedly on the outside.
Human life here is as light as an ant.
The soldiers on both sides fought round after round, but they were still unable to break the evenly matched situation.
Jiang Wei has the advantage in military strength.
But Deng Ai occupied a good territory, and wherever he went, forts, antlers, and trenches sprang up.
The general who came from a peasant family was extremely tenacious and tenacious. This advantage was also inherited by his son and his subordinates.
Liu Yin and Fu Qian broke through the antlers several times and entered the Wubao, but the enemy refused to give up and faced the Shu army's crossbows and spears with their flesh and blood, buying time for the rear troops.

Blood flowed from the Wubao, and corpses fell from the city wall...
For every Wei soldier who fell, a Shu soldier paid his life.
The defenses laid out by Deng Ai were extremely tricky. No matter how brave the Shu army was, their morale and courage would be wasted on earth, wood and stone.
Outside the battlefield, a dozen scout teams were cruising cautiously.
Qiang people, Hu people, Xiongnu, Xianbei...
There are all kinds of costumes.
Just like a group of wild deer watching two tigers fighting in the jungle, alert and nervous.
One eye looks at the battlefield, and the other eye looks at other people of the same kind.
You also have to dodge the occasional hidden arrows.
The huge casualties made Liao Hua frown.
"We can't fight this battle like this!" Liao Hua was already sixty-five at that time, but he was still tall and tall, powerful and majestic, and his momentum was not inferior to that of the young general.
Only he could talk to Jiang Wei like this.
When Fei Yi was alive, Liao Hua also supported Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition with practical actions many times.
"Deng Ai, Deng Ai..." Jiang Wei murmured, his eyes drifting towards the scouts outside the battlefield.
After Fei Yi was assassinated, Jiang Wei's situation rose and he was reused by Liu Chan, the leader of Shu. However, this also deepened his suspicion of assassinating Fei Yi.
Guo Dun was captured by him and presented to the Shu court.
It is not a secret in Shu that Jiang Wei cultivates dead soldiers.
The gap between the Jingzhou clique and Jiang Wei is getting deeper and deeper.
Dong Jue, who had a good relationship with him before, had publicly participated in Jiang Weihao's great success in the court, wasting military strength, and asked the Lord of Shu to restrict his northern expedition.
But it seems that the Lord of Shu obviously favors Jiang Wei.
"Sima Fu's 20,000 elite troops are already on the way to rescue us. After Li Fu and Liu Qin plundered me, if we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave in the future! This battle is not about the loss of lives of the soldiers, but because the weather is unfavorable, and the court will not
I deeply regret that this year has been unfavorable, and it will happen again next year. Now that the old thief Sima is dead, it will not be so easy for Master Sima to maintain a stable position." Liao Hua advised earnestly.
Not only was the weather unfavorable, the Shu army was also short of food and grass.
Hanzhong was affected by heavy rains and the roads were washed away. Even if there was no heavy rain, it would not be easy to transport food out of Hanzhong.
Jiang Wei planned to eat Deng Ai in one bite and cut off a pillar of Yongliang, Sima's army, before retreating.
Unexpectedly, Deng Ai was so difficult to deal with.
All kinds of disadvantages were added together, and the Shu army in Yongliang no longer had any meaning.
"Retreat." Jiang Wei waved his hand and suddenly remembered Xiahou Ba's reminder that Deng Ai and Zhong Hui were both extraordinary people.
The Shu army retreated, but Deng Ai did not let go and led his troops to follow closely.
Jiang Wei moved left and right, south and north, shuttling through the mountains and rivers of Longxi, without giving Deng Ai any chance.
The Shu army retreated to Didao City, and Deng Ai followed him to Didao City.
In October, Sima Fu led his troops into Ji County and marched towards Didao.
Jiang Wei knew that he could not hold on to his love, so he abandoned Di Dao and walked away.
