Chapter 258 Even though millions of people are like me?
When Guanzhong was shaken, the news of Zhang Zhan's death and the annihilation of the 50,000-strong Wei Yulin Army also began to sweep across Guandong and spread throughout the world at an extremely fast speed.
As one of the "Five Good Generals" of Cao Wei, Zhang has been famous all over the world for decades. He has made great contributions to the two generations of Wei kings, Cao Cao and Cao Pi.
Like the other four generals, he is not only capable of commanding troops, but also has outstanding personal bravery and is famous throughout the army. He enjoys a high reputation both in the Wei Dynasty and in the Jihan and Soochow.
Such a great general was actually killed among 50,000 imperial guardsmen, and died at the hands of a young man under the age of twenty. It was really shocking.
Just like Xu Huang, Lu Meng, Han Dang, Zhou Tai and others back then.
What's even more frightening is that the backbone of Cao Pi's 50,000 imperial army is the Chinese imperial army trained by Xu Chu, the Marquis of Long Live Pavilion. Among them are many powerful men with big arms, round waists and magical powers. Their combat effectiveness has always been very strong, but now they are...
But the whole army was wiped out.
All the Han forces in Chang'an, Luoyang, Wancheng, Jiangling, Xiangfan, Moling, and even Xiangping in Liaodong were trembling.
They remembered a name deeply:
Han Emperor Liu Chan.
The youngest brave general at that time, he was truly the most powerful in the world, not to mention he was the emperor of a force.
Don't worry if he rushes into battle in person. His strength exceeds that of all the brave generals in the world. He is terrifying and unparalleled in the world.
With such an emperor leading an army, would it be possible to be like Xiang Yu, who was defeated in one battle and became invincible in the world?
When the news spread, Feng Zhou led 3,000 Wei troops back to the Han camp.
Over there at the street pavilion, Chen Shi and Wang Ping were guarding. They forced the captured Wei army to go all out and built a defensive system day and night. With the calmness of Chen Shi and Wang Ping, their morale was high after defeating the enemy.
, plus Zhuge Liang was dispatching from the rear, there was no shortage of food and grass, enough to withstand the Wei army for a month.
In fact, it does not take so long, because by that time, the entire Longxi has returned to Jihan.
When Feng Zhou arrived at the Han army's camp, Zhuge Liang led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the camp ten miles to greet him, and all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries knelt down to worship him.
"I congratulate the emperor on his triumphant return to camp. Long live my emperor!"
Feng Zhou laughed, dismounted from his horse, helped Zhuge Liang up with his own hands, and said: "The prime minister entrusts me with a lonely and important minister. He is my uncle, so there is no need to be polite."
He held Zhuge Liang with one hand and said: "I was able to fight and defeat the enemy on the front line only because of the Prime Minister's stabilization of the situation in Longyou. The great victory at Jieting was just a key battle in our army's Northern Expedition, but the basis for the victory of this Northern Expedition was
The Prime Minister has made this possible, and I am extremely grateful!"
He didn't wait for Zhuge Liang to speak, turned to face the ministers and said: "Although I am young, I have experienced many military battles. This time at the street pavilion, I saw thousands of arrows flying across the sky and an army like a tidal wave. I also knew that I should be a sage king with civil and military skills.
, we need countless civil servants and generals to succeed in the past and open up the future, so that we can improve the national destiny, open up new territories for our Han Dynasty, and bless all people! I hope that all the ministers and prime ministers will walk with me."
"The emperor's love for talents can be seen from the sun and the moon!" all the ministers said together.
Feng Zhou smiled and said: "Prime Minister, dear friends, this victory at Jieting was thanks to the calm response of Chen Shi and other generals. The soldiers of the three armies were sworn to serve, but Zhang Zhong died under my gun. Haha! It's so refreshing! Everyone loves it.
Sir, this time I severely defeated the Wei army and conquering Longxi is just a small test. In the future, I will follow the example of Emperor Xiaowu, unify the world, expel the Tartars, and achieve unparalleled achievements!"
Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart, fell to the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise, and we are willing to assist you in recognizing your majesty, defeating rebellion and eradicating evil, restoring the Han Dynasty, and returning the old capital to the Han Dynasty, so that the country, mountains, seas, rivers and rivers will be clear, and the country will be unified forever!"
All ministers agreed.
Feng Zhou laughed again and said to Zhuge Liang: "Okay, Prime Minister, don't stay here anymore. Let's go back to the camp together. I want to see what else Guo Huai has to rely on to continue fighting with me.
enemy."
"No!" Zhuge Liang bowed and obeyed the order.
Guo Huai had already received the news that Zhang and his tens of thousands of Yulin troops had been destroyed, and also received the news that General Cao Zhen was leading an army to reinforce him. He immediately convened the generals at the top of the city and said, "As long as we hold on for ten days, General Cao Zhen will lead an army of 100,000."
Entering Longxi, no matter how strong the Shu army is, they will only be beaten to a bloody head."
All the generals nodded in agreement.
During this period of time, Zhuge Liang promoted the defense with attacks, and the main force raided the five counties of Longxi. The suppressed Guo Huai was unable to advance westward.
Although Zhuge Liang failed to capture the upper reaches, his strategy had gained the upper hand. Guo Huai was unable to advance westward. Even if he defended the city, it was just a futile effort.
However, there are only a few civil and military officials in the city who truly possess Guo Huai's strategic thinking ability. Everyone just thinks that holding on is enough to call it a great achievement.
At this moment, the messenger came in and reported: "Reporting to the governor, a group of people came out of the Shu army camp outside the city and were heading towards the city. Looking at the flag, it turned out to be Liu Chan, the emperor of Shu."
"Liu Chan is here!" Everyone's expressions changed.
Even the emperor personally marched on the expedition, and when we got here, it seemed that we were going to break it.
"Hmph! The Shang is impregnable, even Zhuge Liang is extremely talented, but there is nothing we can do about it. Even if their little emperor comes, so what? Even if his martial arts are invincible, why don't we look anxious at Shang Gan?"
After speaking, he stood up and shouted: "Masters, come with me to see this so-called emperor!"
Everyone nodded.
Guo Huai led everyone out of the room and stood on the top of the city, looking out of the city.
But he saw a cavalry swaggering past the city. One of them had a golden helmet and a fierce cloak. He was leading the horse. Behind him were seven or eight riders. One of them held a flag high. It was the dragon flag of the Emperor of Shu. The strong wind blew by.
The sound of hunting made the man in golden armor look even more imposing.
But seeing how he looked like no one was around, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
"Why is this kid Adou so arrogant? He only brought seven or eight cavalry with him, but he dared to peek into the reality of our army." Someone said disdainfully.
"Provincial Governor, look at the man holding the goose feather fan next to Emperor Shu. This man is Liu Adou's confidant and the Prime Minister of Shu, Zhuge Liang." Someone also said to Guo Huai.
"Oh. So Shu Emperor Liu Chan and Shu Prime Minister Zhuge Lang are both under the city. If we send troops to attack, we will surely capture them!" Guo Huai said with great joy.
You must know that the Han army camp was set up twelve miles west of the upper city. At this time, the Emperor and Prime Minister of Shu were both under the city, with only seven or eight cavalry with them. This kind of frivolous behavior was exactly what they were trying to catch.
Great opportunity.
Guo Huai immediately ordered: "Chen Kang, Qi Xuan, you each lead two thousand cavalry, rush out from the north and south gates respectively, take a long detour, and try to capture Liu Adou and Zhuge Liang."
"No!" The two generals were overjoyed. They did not expect that such a great opportunity to make a meritorious service would fall into their hands. They immediately did not dare to neglect, hurriedly walked down to the top of the city, ordered their troops away, and led everyone out of the city.
At this time, Feng Zhouzheng and Zhuge Liang were riding horses to watch the reality of the upper city at close range.
Behind them were Jiang Wei, Ma Su, Wu Tong, Zhang Wen, etc., as well as a flag officer who was brought specially by Feng Zhou.
As they were marching, people in the distance suddenly heard horses neighing and smoke billowing from them, galloping towards them.
"Your Majesty, most of the Wei army is coming, let's get out of the way for now," Zhuge Liang said.
His tone was calm, his demeanor was serene, and he did not feel any embarrassment or distress in his heart.
Feng Zhou chuckled and said: "Wu Tong, Zhang Wen, you two are protecting the Prime Minister and You Chang from leaving. Bo Yue (Jiang Wei), I heard that you are good at spearmanship and have the courage of ten thousand men?"
Jiang Wei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I dare not accept His Majesty's praise. I have some modest success in spear skills."
"Very good, then they leave first, and you and I, the monarch and your ministers, will meet the enemy." Feng Zhou said.
Zhuge Liang was startled: "Your Majesty, the enemy's troops seem to be in the thousands. Your Majesty, please retreat for now."
Feng Zhou waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I hold the bow and arrows, and Bo Yue follows me with the spear. What can a million people do to me?"
