Although Jiang Wei returned to Chengdu, he was extremely concerned about the situation in Guanzhong.

Every three days, news from the front line will be sent back.

"Does Yang Zheng really want to attack Chang'an?" Huang Chong said.

"Wang Ji is a veteran general of Cao Wei. If Yang Zheng doesn't fight with him, he has no choice but to attack Chang'an first and attract Wang Ji's reinforcements. However, Chang'an has been managed by Sima Fu for several years. With backup, it will be more difficult to get him." Xiahou Ba knew Wang Ji and knew Wang Ji better.

Get to know Sima Fu.

In his early years, Wang Ji was recommended by Sima Yi and moved to Zhongshu Shilang. He was convicted and dismissed because of his admonitions to stop the Ming Emperor's large-scale construction projects. He was later promoted by Cao Shuang and served as the prefect of Anfeng. Henan Yin had considerable political achievements, but he was dismissed because he could not understand Cao Shuang's arrogance and extravagance.

Deng Yang and his party were alienated.

After the Gaopingling Incident, Wang Ji was conquered by Cao Shuang and was dismissed from office.

But he was quickly promoted by Sima Yi, first serving as minister, and later as governor of Jingzhou, and promoted to general Lie.

When Yang Zheng rose to power in Xiping, Xiahou Ba was transferred back to Chengdu.

Although he was not favored by the Shu bureaucrats, the Shu master treated him well.

Life was good. He had a mansion in Chengdu, married several concubines, and gave birth to two sons and three daughters.

The culture of Shu is quite nurturing. After leaving the battlefield, Xiahou Ba's face was rosy and he also gained a lot of weight.

"The fierce battle between Yang Zheng and the Sima clan is not a bad thing for the Han Dynasty! Our army recharges its energy and strength. When they are exhausted and their food is exhausted, we can work hard to regain Yongliang!" Huang Chong thought far ahead and had a big appetite.

big.

Xiahou Ba remained silent.

Jiang Wei didn't seem to be interested, so he asked his followers, "Why hasn't Gong Xi come yet?"

After Chen Zhi's death, the person most likely to be promoted to the post of minister was Dong Jue, the minister's servant.

He has been at the Chancellery for many years, and has gone through the eras of Zhuge Wuhou, Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, and Fei Yi. His reputation and talents are all the best.

If Jiang Wei wants to lead the army in the front to "restore the Han Dynasty", he must have someone like Chen Zhi in the rear to take charge of the emperor's orders, neutralize the ministers, and serve as an eunuch to coordinate internal and external affairs and support his Northern Expedition.

But it is Zhuge Zhan who has made the loudest calls recently.

Not only in the court, but also among the people, the voice was loud.

Hu Ji, the commander-in-chief of Hanzhong, and Huo Ge, the commander-in-chief of Nijiang, also secretly supported it.

If Yan Yu hadn't succeeded Zong Yu as the governor of Yong'an, I'm afraid the three governors of Shu would have supported Zhuge Zhan.

This is evident from the fact that the Jingzhou system was in the power of the Shu Kingdom.

As for Zhuge Zhan, like Zhuge Ke, he was known for his intelligence at a young age. He later married a princess and was awarded the title of Cavalry Commander.

Every time there was a government decree in the court that benefited the people, the people would rush to tell each other what Ge Hou had done.

Therefore, Zhuge Zhan was young and had no meritorious deeds, so his reputation spread widely.

"Reporting to the general, Dong Pushe is ill and refuses to see guests today." The servant came in a hurry to report.

Jiang Wei frowned, this was obviously an excuse.

This is not a good sign.

Of course, Jiang Wei also understood what was going on.

After Duan Gu's defeat, Jiang Wei was pushed to the forefront of the limelight. Both the government and the public were resentful. If the Lord of Shu had not saved him, Jiang Wei's political career would have come to an end.

Dong Jue didn't want to see him, which meant that Dong Jue was avoiding suspicion.

Jiang Wei sighed, suddenly feeling more isolated than ever before, and how difficult it was to restore the Han Dynasty.

Guanzhong originally had many great opportunities, but they were all ruined in the hands of its own people.

In fact, the same was true for Marquis Zhuge Wu back then, with Li Yan constraining him from behind.

Not long after, another news came out from the palace, which made Jiang Wei even more upset. The Lord of Shu named Huang Hao the Captain of Fengcha.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this position was a Shangguan with a rank of two thousand shi, in charge of the emperor's chariots. Huo Guang once held this position, which shows Liu Chan's favor for Huang Hao.

"Your Majesty appointed Huang Hao as the Commander-in-Chief of Fengche at this time, is he trying to attack the Jingzhou faction?" Xiahou Ba said in surprise.

"The candidate to take over as Minister of Education this time is definitely not Zhuge Zhan." Huang Chong said firmly.

After Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, and Fei Yi, Hu Ji made serious mistakes, Zong Yu was already old, and the only one left was Zhuge Zhan, the legitimate son of Marquis Wu.

Considering the Shu Lord's dislike of Jingzhou scholars over the years, it is very likely that Shangshu Ling was neither Zhuge Zhan nor Dong Jue.

Judging from the current trend, Huang Hao's party is most likely to gain power.

"It seems that I am the only one to advise His Majesty!" Jiang Wei said.

In fact, there has always been a huge conflict between the emperor and the Jingzhou clique.

The struggle between imperial power and prime ministerial power.

Zhuge Wuhou has been in power for eleven years. He is not only the prime minister of Shu, but also the "father-in-law" of Liu Chan, the leader of Shu.

Therefore, the prime minister's power once suppressed the imperial power.

Fei Yi repeatedly fought for the position of prime minister, and indirectly he also fought to become Liu Chan's "father".

Fei Yi has been in power for exactly eleven years, and his qualifications and reputation are enough...

So he could only die inexplicably at the hands of a surrendered general.

The Jingzhou faction, which was originally in a good situation, suffered a devastating blow. The position of prime minister was not obtained. Even the positions of Shangshuling and general were divided between Chen Zhuan and Jiang Wei.

Therefore, the contradictions in the Shu Kingdom became more and more serious, and finally led to the defeat of Duangu.

The defeat of Dangu was just the beginning.

Fufeng County.

The soldiers of Liangzhou also set up a stronghold across the river. With Huaili as the rear, they built forts along the river and built them to the foot of Chang'an City, in a posture of attacking by force.

Sima Fu still couldn't retreat.

Moreover, Wang Ji did not fall for the trick and only sent Lu Fan to lead 3,000 Chinese troops to assist in the defense of Chang'an.

Looking at the "Sima" flag planted on the wall of Chang'an, Yang Zheng sneered: "Do you really think that I dare not attack Chang'an? Send an order, transfer Zhang Te, and Zhou Zhi invites soldiers to come to help in the battle!"

"Wei!" the soldier ordered and left.

Since Wang Ji cannot move, then surround Chang'an.

The city of Chang'an suddenly became busy, building forts, ravines, antlers, and cutting down nearby trees to build siege equipment.

You might as well build momentum first.

With Sima Fu in the city, Yang Zheng really didn't believe that he dared to remain indifferent.

Five days later, Zhang Te led 10,000 soldiers from the government to come. In order to create momentum, Zhang Te marched in with great noise, flying sand and stones everywhere, and led the men, women, and children to follow the army.

His troops were reduced to fifty or sixty thousand men.

Five days later, Zhou Zhi led five thousand soldiers from Longxi Prefecture to arrive.

Tian Zhang and Yuan Shao were among them. As soon as they saw Yang Zheng's face, they bowed their heads and said, "I pay my respects to the general."

"Both of you, please get up." Yang Zheng helped him personally.

Jiuyingying secretly inquired for several months and basically ruled out the possibility that the two men died.

Both of them were from common people and had little loyalty to the Sima family.

"Thank you, General!" The two of them cupped their hands.

As long as you are from the common people, you are the target of Yang Zheng's wooing.

"There are many strong soldiers in Chang'an City. I wonder if you two have a way to break the city?" Yang Zheng asked casually, just to win over the two of them.

Tian Zhang said with enthusiasm: "I am willing to lead my subordinates as the vanguard to capture this city for the general."

"Well, the general is indeed brave."

"There is a saying in the art of war that the first priority is to attack the city and the first priority is to attack the heart. Not long ago, Chang'an ran out of food. Sima Fu drove out nearly ten thousand women, children, old and weak people. The general was kind and righteous and took them in. The family records of these people are all in the city. If the general

They are shouting for the city from all sides, and the people of Chang'an will be in chaos. Even if no one opens the city and surrenders, our army can attack it and follow the trend!" Yao Shao said.

Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment, there was something.

Unless he mentioned it, he would have forgotten about it.

Talents are everywhere these days.

"This is a great strategy. If it can break the city, you will be the first to succeed." Yang Zheng said with a smile.

"Thank you, General. My subordinates are very talented and have little knowledge. It was only through General Noda's advice that I came to this realization."

Seeing Tian Zhang's confused face next to him, Yang Zheng knew that it was Yuan Shao who was promoting Tian Zhang, and his evaluation of this person became a little higher.

There are many talented people these days, but most of them are impatient, so nothing can be accomplished.

In front of so many generals, Yang Zheng couldn't praise him too much, otherwise he would make enemies for him.

There are some things that you just need to know.

"If this city is destroyed, you two will work together. Meng Guan, you go pick up the old, weak, women and children who were placed there a few days ago."
