Chapter 914: Prophet of Spring River Plumbing Duck
"Gongming, what should I do?" Zhu Ling looked worried.
"Zhang Fei is actually in Chang'an. It seems that the news in Bingzhou may not be all true." Xu Huang's head was buzzing, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Zhu Ling said to himself: "The memorials of Governor Liang are all problems. I heard that there were many rumors in Luoyang a while ago."
"Wenbo (Zhu Ling) should not think randomly. Your Majesty knows the handwriting of the governor Liang, and officials such as Chen Lingjun (Chen Qun) can also know it. The possibility of being passive in memorials is not high. I just don't know why General Zhang was falsely spreading the news." Xu Huang frowned.
"Zhang Fei is known as the enemy of ten thousand people, and his martial arts are not inferior to General Guan. Now the enemy and our troops are equal, so what if he can do?" Zhu Ling's expression was cold.
"We can go to the command of the rear army. When I go forward to explore Zhang Fei's truth and reality, if it doesn't work, we will retreat to Tongguan. Now it cannot pose a threat to Chang'an. The most important thing is to bring the troops back." Xu Huang said seriously.
Zhu Ling nodded in agreement, "It should be done, Gongming must remember not to show off."
"I can't afford it." Xu Huang was always on the front line, knowing Zhang Fei's oppressive power, so he really couldn't afford to mess with his life.
Liu Feng restrained Xu Huang during the battle for Nanxiang. He had the ability to kill Wang Zhong but did not dare to challenge Xu Huang. After joining forces with Zhang Fei, he followed obediently.
The two armies arrived and formed a formation.
Xu Huang said first and shouted with a big axe, "Zhang Fei rebels, why did he block my way?"
"Nonsense, this is the territory of the Han Dynasty. My eldest brother is the emperor of the Han Dynasty. I can go wherever I want. You old guy dare to come?" Zhang Fei was not polite at all.
Xu Huang wondered how much hatred he had and Zhang Fei, why did he seem to hate him more? He ignored so much, but sneered and retorted: "Haha, where did the emperor of the Han Dynasty come from? Your lord Liu Bei usurped the emperor and Liu Xie had already embezzled the throne to my Emperor of Wei. Now there is only Wei but no Han in the world. You are the same age as me, and your hair is better than me, so you are embarrassed to laugh at me for being old?"
"Xu Huang, why should you deceive yourself? You were originally a Han minister, but you were willing to fall into the position of the Cao thief to work hard. Now you call yourself Wei minister for granted it. Wouldn't your conscience be painful? Then what's the difference between Cao Pi usurping the Han Dynasty and calling Wei Yuan Shu? My eldest brother was a relative of the Han Dynasty. He received the throne and inherited the decree of heaven and ascending the throne as the king. This is the orthodox road of the Han Dynasty. It's still time for you to surrender now, otherwise I will settle the old accounts with you." Zhang Fei put the snake spear across his chest, and his fierce look made the Wei soldiers tremble.
"It's unreasonable. Shanyang Gong is in Hanoi, how could he pass an edict to Liu Bei? The edict to pass the throne must be forged." Xu Huang first refuted loudly, and then asked Zhang Fei: "Xu and you are a national hatred and have no selfish grudges. What old accounts do you want to have with this general?"
Zhang Fei's eyes widened and shouted sternly: "A few years ago, the battle between Fancheng, you and Cao Ren used tricks to murder my second brother. If it weren't for my nephew's rescue, you might be successful by you villains. It would be a personal grudge for plotting against my second brother."
"Ah, that's all?" Xu Huangxin said that it was Cao Ren's plan, but he couldn't argue with Zhang Fei at this time.
"How to count? If you are willing to surrender, you will not blame me." Zhang Fei said playfully, stroked his beard and said.
When Xu Huang quarreled with Zhang Fei, Zhu Ling was ready to retreat and sent someone to convey the message with shouts. Xu Huang did not intend to pull it off with Zhang Fei when he received the message.
"Zhang Fei, it's useless to say more. I'll sell you face today. Now I'll lead the army back to Tongguan. If you have the courage, come and chase after him." After Xu Huang said that, he waved his hand. The front team of the Wei soldiers turned into the back team and retreated to the east with great vigilance.
"Uncle, why don't you chase after me?" Liu Feng asked anxiously when he saw that Zhang Fei was not moving.
Zhang Fei frowned, "Xu Huang has always been calm in his military use. He retreated as ours. I may have any secret tricks waiting for us. I am no longer the same as before, how can I be fooled easily?"
"There is no cover on the plain, even if there are ambushes, you can find it?" Liu Feng asked back.
"Hmph, Wang Zhong also thinks so." Zhang Fei looked back contemptuously, and Liu Feng was as if he had swallowed a dead fly, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.
"General, what should we do?" Wu Er asked with his fists.
Zhang Feixu replied with his eyes: "Keep the distance and follow slowly. I want to see what Xu Huang is doing."
"only."
Xu Huang's neat and orderly convoy made Zhang Fei dare not pursue him easily. In fact, Xu Huang was also pretending to be a magician. The same forces were unpredictable to win the battle, but the plan to raid Chang'an was failed, and he felt that there was no need to fight with Zhang Fei.
When the Wei army passed Huayin and began to enter Tongguan, Zhang Fei realized that he had been fooled by Xu Huang.
In a rage, Zhang Fei directed the front army to attack Xu Huang's soldiers behind, trying to seize Tongguan by fishing for troubled waters. However, Xu Huang was not an idiot after all, and commanded the soldiers to successfully withstand the Han army.
The Han and Wei sides fought a small battle in Tongguan, ending the battle at the cost of each hurting thousands of people.
The Wei soldiers retreated into Tongguan and could not leave. No matter how Zhang Fei fought, he did not respond. Seeing that Zhang Fei could not take advantage of the situation, he led his troops back to Huayin to continue to garrison.
Xu Huang returned to Tongguan and did not immediately retreat to Luoyang, but wrote a letter to Cao Xiu to decide on the front line.
A few days later, Cao Xiu submitted the battle report to Emperor Cao Pi of Wei. Cao Pi originally thought that Xu Huang asked him to send troops to attack Chang'an, but the truth was so cruel.
Cao Pi was angry in court after reading the battle report. He dispatched troops and generals to spend money and food, but he was in vain. Cao Pi slapped the table and threw the wine glass, but he almost killed someone and vented his anger. He attributed the failure to Zhang He mislead the information and ordered Zhang He to go to Luoyang in person to explain that if he was seriously ill and could not get out of bed, he would ask Liang Xi to send a carriage back, and he would carry it back to Luoyang without a carriage.
The Wei State could not defeat the front battlefield, and repeated mistakes in intelligence work caused the confidence of Wei officials and gentry to change quietly. Many people had given birth to Liu Bei's destiny. The Wei State would sooner or later be destroyed like the Eastern Wu. Those who were as vicious as Jia Xu had arranged a retreat in advance before their death, and those who were slightly worse were already secretly preparing.
Originally, Xu Shu just sent people to spread rumors, but now there are really people in the Wei State, and the first group of people to take action was the gentry who were in the court.
The so-called spring river is warm and the duck prophet, the Central Plains gentry is spread all over the Wei court, and officials from non-core positions are looking for changes in their families for the future, and a political turmoil is being brewing secretly.
In mid-April, before Zhang He returned to Luoyang, Jiang Ji sent him from Huainan and arrived urgently.
The Han-Tianjin General Gan Ning army came out of Ruxu, and in half a month, attacked and captured Xiang'an and Linhu counties, threatening Shu County, the capital of Lujiang.
The Wei army in Huainan still knew the generals of Ruxu in the era of Sun Quan's defeat in Xiaoyaojin. They believed that the soldiers from Ruxuwu were only powerful in the water battle, and when they went ashore, they were vulnerable. Jiang Ji sent the General Chang Diao of the Central Army to rescue Linhu, but was killed by Gan Ning formation during the battle.
Huainan, which had been calm for a year, was broken by Ganning.
