"In the past, the late emperor and the prime minister managed Jingzhou for nearly ten years, but the Wu people were still able to gain support from Jingzhou. There were also many counselors and generals under the command of Lord Guan, but they were still unable to defend Jingzhou."

As he said that, Wei Rong's face began to look a little ugly:

"The Han Dynasty has only been in control of the Shangdang for three years now, not to mention that the only person beside you who is assisting him is a craftsman from the State of Wei."

Business?

What business?

Wei Rong also felt a little depressed.

Even though he is the superintendent of the Royal College, his master actually does not want students from the college to be sent to the Shangdang.

Does this mean you don’t believe the students?

This is simply because he doesn’t believe his own son!

Wei Rong was helpless when meeting such an adult with such a bad temper, such selfishness, and such a low vision.

The late emperor's extraordinary promotion and the prime minister's magnanimity and tolerance made my Lord seem a little forgetful.

Do you really think that people in this world can treat him like the late emperor and the prime minister?

Do you know what your name is?

Ahem...

Not to mention sir, even Sima Yi has probably long since thought of himself as a master.

Still want to counterattack?

What to attack with?

It's just that talking about this now will no longer be helpful to the Shangdang war effort.

After all, even my husband never thought that Shangdang would become the second Jingzhou.

Yaomei wrung her fingers:

"But if the Shangdang war is not harmonious, will it affect you, Alang?"

Hearing this, Wei Rong smiled calmly:

"I am your disciple and the supervisor of the college. I am not involved in court affairs or military matters. As long as your husband doesn't speak, who will bother me?"

Seeing Wei Rong's calm look, Yaomei breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Wei Rong shook his head and smiled:

"After talking for a long time, it turns out that this is why you came here. I think you should go back quickly and be optimistic about the exchange."

"With the war going on, food prices are probably going to rise. I'm afraid you'll be busy again."

"What are you afraid of? If others don't know it, why don't I know how far the price of food can go for the big man?"

Yaomei felt confident when she mentioned this, but she sneered:

"If you want it to rise, just let it rise. I wonder who is so brave? The walls of Chang'an City are higher than Jincheng, and the Wei River is wide and deep enough."

"Go, go, go! It's time to eat. Telling me this is disturbing your appetite!"

…

"kill!"

"Rumble..."

The Han army, which was leaning on the high ground and defending, kept smashing rocks and trees below.

Many Wei troops were often hit and suffered heavy casualties before they could reach halfway up the mountain.

This moment is just like the moment when Wei Yan attacked Gaodu City.

Just guarding Wei Chang at the highest point of Gaodu City, watching the Wei troops all over the mountains and plains, they were still fighting over them.

The look of worry on his face became increasingly intense.

In the previous attack, the city of Gaodu was completely destroyed.

The day after your Excellency led the army to leave, the Wei thieves began to attack the city.

It is obvious that the idea of ​​the bandit army is to delay the army in Gaodu City until Huguan's eldest son's bandit army is ready, and then attack the Lord from both front and back.

Or they want to storm Gaodu, and then cooperate with the eldest son's thieves to attack the adults from both front and back.

This is a matter of carriage and horse, and there is no need to hide it.

But for Wei Chang, even if he knew what Wei Thief was thinking, there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, the city of Gaodu was built on a mountain, and he could defend it by the mountains. This way he could block the thieves who wanted to enter Shangdang through Gaodu by virtue of the geographical advantage.

But facing the overwhelming advantage of the Wei army, Wei Chang had no confidence at all.

In fact, he had wanted to persuade the Lord to simply abandon Gaodu City instead of hastily leading his troops back to his eldest son.

Instead, they reduced their troops to Gaoping Pass, guarded the pass from Hedong into Shangdang, and blocked the main communication route between the eldest son and Gaodu.

In this way, even if the Wei thieves occupy the entire Shangdang, as long as Gaoping Pass is in the hands of the Han, Shangdang will be divided into two parts, one large and one small, unable to interact with each other.

Wei Chang knew that he had been serving in the army for more than ten years, and how could he not think of things that he could think of?

But with your temperament...

well!

While I was thinking, I heard the sound of war drums at the foot of the mountain again, and the Wei thieves who had just been forced back immediately organized another wave of attacks.

Wei Chang pressed his chest. He could feel the letter hidden close to his body.

It was written by my brother. Even adults don’t know about this letter.

"Come here, follow me to kill the thief!"

Wei Chang put down his hand, pulled out the long knife from his waist, and shouted:

"kill!"

…

Sima Division, who had been watching the battle on another hilltop, saw the soldiers being forced down by the Han army again, with no expression on his face.

But when he saw the movement of the Han army's commander's flag on the hilltop opposite, the tumor in the corner of his eye suddenly trembled, and even became a little blood red.

At the same time, his face suddenly showed joy, and he slapped his hands with fists:

"The thief Shuai Qi is making such a movement, it's simply because the coach himself went into battle!"

"When I look at the previous battle, I can only tell that those left behind by Wei Yan must be elite soldiers."

"But I didn't expect that this thief would despise me so much and leave so few guards, haha, hahaha!"

"Come here, pass my military order and send out the fourth team!"

Although subsequent attacks were repelled, Sima Division was not disappointed.

On the contrary, he was very satisfied.

"Today the bandit commander is making so much noise, either because the bandit commander is not strong enough, or because the bandit commander is an impatient person. It can be seen that the bandit will be defeated in these few days!"

The sarcoma at the corner of the eye has become shiny and bright red.

In Gaodu City opposite, Wei Chang was stuffing the urgent letter he had just finished into an envelope.

But at the moment when he was about to seal it, a look of hesitation appeared on his face again. After thinking about it, he took out the letter and unfolded it.

I read it once and looked for anything wrong in it.

So again and again.

But in the end, he put the letter down, sighed, stood up, and walked outside.

Looking at the stars in the mountains and valleys opposite, Wei Chang gritted his teeth, finally turned back, stuffed the letter into the envelope for the last time, and sealed it.

The next day, before dawn, the cavalry dispatched from Gaodu City rushed towards the eldest son in a hurry.

ps:

I don’t think it’s considered that Wei Yan forced his wits down?

This was originally Wei Yan's character in history.

I know many people feel sorry for Wei Yan.

But we have to consider the problem from the perspective of Adou or even Jiang Wan:

Even if you have a huge grievance, can you put personal grudges above the survival of the country?

If Zhuge hadn't been able to fake a wave of Sima Yi back after his death, it would have given Sima Yi a chance to chase him.

Wei Yan burned the pavilion road where the Northern Expedition army returned to Hanzhong, and then led his army to the front to block everyone's retreat.

When the Northern Expedition army loses ground, Sima Yi can take away the main force of Shu with one wave.

Every time I read this piece of history and put it into the context of Adou, I feel chills running down my back:
