Wei Yan didn't know what Liu Bei and Liu Ji were talking about. He only knew that more than two hours had passed, and even Liu Ji's personal soldiers tried to break into the hall. When they were confronting Wei Yan and others, Liu Ji and Liu Bei finally
come out……
Seeing Liu Bei after taking off his makeup, General Chen Cang, who was originally confronting Wei Yan, couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
Looking at Liu Bei in disbelief, and... Liu Ji next to him!
Qi Hou is actually still alive? And "Qi Hou" is also nearby?
Liu Ji could vaguely see traces of crying at this time, but Liu Bei's face was serious - but Wei Yan had also heard that Liu Bei's crying was something that could be prayed for even if it rained.
They are professionals, so...even if I really cried, I can't tell it now!
"Send an order to send an urgent letter to General Guan and the military advisor who attacked Chang'an... and ask them to come back and apologize!" Liu Ji said seriously.
Liu Bei on the side remained silent, but Liu Ji turned to Wei Yan and said: "Master Wei has worked hard and prepared a resting place for you and everyone..."
"No, they still have to protect Duke Xuande." Wei Yan smiled heartily, but his eyes did not give in.
Are you all going to rest?
No, if Liu Bei dared to say that he didn't need "protection", the soldiers around him would dare to pull grenades and die with him, so that he would never need protection!
This was also what Fa Zheng had told him before...
In the current situation, no prince can be trusted, especially an old man like Liu Bei.
After all, Liu Ji seems to be really convinced now. What if Liu Bei goes back on his word?
Although Wei Yan didn't think that Liu Bei could do anything in Chencang at this time - they were not from the Chu State. Waiting for them to notify Qingxu? Even if General Jin Yu personally delivers the letter, it will take a month or two to arrive!
Only Chu State could react so quickly. Within a month or two... Xuzhou had already changed hands.
Liu Ji was also staring at Wei Yan at this time.
Wei Yan vaguely felt that this guy was not so worried about gains and losses when facing him or the Chu State he represented before. Instead, he looked like he would not be surprised if he ordered "take it down" at any time!
But at this moment, Liu Bei took the initiative and said: "Since you want to be the Marquis of Qi, then you should do your last duty! Master Wei and I...will hold a candle night talk."
Seeing Liu Bei take the initiative to give in, Wei Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Ji did not force himself, but stayed in the main courtyard of Chencang Military City Government Office that night.
"How did Duke Xuande persuade Liu Ji?" Wei Yan actually held a candlelight conversation with Liu Bei at night.
"Nothing but the Marquis of Qi who recognized him." Liu Bei said lightly.
This matter is said to be "light", but it is really light. After all, he will surrender to Chu soon, and even the King of Qi and the Emperor of Qi will not hold back.
However, speaking of "heavy", even in the last few days, this is Liu Bei's recognition of him...or a test.
If it were Wei Yan, he would definitely have retaliated by now!
Now Liu Bei and Wei Yan are worried about Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang...
I hope there won't be any trouble before the urgent message is delivered - if Guan Yu can still listen to Zhuge Liang's advice, there shouldn't be any big problems.
On the other hand, in Xuzhou, Chu's surrender... or "incorporation" was obviously smoother.
After all, what was conveyed to Xuzhou was that Liu Bei was already in Chu!
Moreover, Zhang Fei was already alone and separated from the Xuzhou nobles.
Whether it is recruiting Zhang Fei or going to Pengcheng to convince a group of Xuzhou nobles, it is very easy.
With Liu Bei's handwritten letter, Zhang Fei did not hesitate much, but to be on the safe side, he followed Jia Xu's suggestion and sent people directly to Pengcheng, while ordering Zhang Fei to hold his troops in Xiapi.
Instead of asking Zhang Fei to persuade him to take over Pengcheng...
What if there is any secret code in Liu Bei's letter?
Sima Yi stirred up the situation, and it can be said that the Wei State has secured Guanzhong, and the Chu State would not be able to intervene in the chaos. Qingzhou, which is closer to the Wei State, will most likely not be able to be saved. Yuzhou...mainly Xu County,
There is still a fight to be had in the Yingchuan area.
At this time, if Chu State just takes the opportunity to invade Xichuan and release Xuzhou, it can only be said that it is neither a loss nor a gain. It must capture Xuzhou to be considered as not "losing" to Wei State in this process.
After all, Sima Yi had been in contact with Wei from the beginning, and this advantage could not be changed.
We are able to achieve this step thanks to the use of wireless news!
In the beginning, it only took half a day to send news from Hanzhong to Jinling - because the threshold for using wireless precision news is a bit high, so except for focus places like Jinling, other small places are not on duty in real time, but only at fixed times.
segment contact.
Later, due to the emergency, someone was always on duty, and instant communication was almost realized.
Otherwise, before Chu State reacts, Wei State, which has secretly communicated with Sima Yi for a long time, is very likely to directly control the original Qi Hou's base. At most, the southern part of Xuzhou can be captured by Chu State.
However, neither Sima Yi nor Wei Guo obviously thought that if Chu State got serious, at least in terms of news, it would be a real "moment of a thousand miles".
There are even Zhenqi railcars transporting troops on the main roads, and the Chu army can mobilize very quickly within the territory. It is still the first month of the year, and the weather is still very cold. However, the garrison on Jinling Road and Jiangdong Road only have to enter Huainan Road.
It took three days for the front army to arrive, and seven days...even the logistics were basically in place!
The person in charge in Xuzhou at this time was Chen Deng, who still nominally supported Liu Chan, but in fact it was a group of local nobles who controlled the military and government.
Chen Deng's second son, Chen Ying, has been following Bai Tu since the time of General Mansion. The Chen family now also has branches in Jiangdong.
As expected, the Xuzhou gentry generally accepted the Chu state!
Although they are a little greedy for Wei's "big gentry policy", they cannot deny the fact that Chu is closer to them, not to mention that since Liu Bei is still alive, Zhang Fei must have been in contact with Chu.
With the strength of the Chu army, if Xiapi surrenders directly to Chu, how can Pengcheng be defended? If Pengcheng cannot be defended, what is the point of Xuzhou's stubborn resistance?
Moreover, there are Liu Bei's supporters in Pengcheng. He was able to expel Zhang Fei successfully before, mainly because he was stupid. After the news of Liu Bei's death came, he made bad moves one after another. As a result, the Xuzhou nobles who loved Liu Bei were not willing to be beaten by Zhang Fei.
Fly "drag".
At the same time, Chu State was also anxious to trust Deng Ai, who had taken office in Nanzhong for more than a year. Although Nanzhong and the mainland of Chu State were connected on the map, they were both in the wilderness. The urban density was too low and there was not enough people.
Cheng Ji's assistant and Huang Tianji's signal couldn't get through either, so they had to rush the letter from Jinghu South Road!
Although Deng Ai arrived shortly, nearly two years earlier than planned, it would be nice to take advantage of this opportunity to capture Xichuan in one fell swoop...
