Chapter 984: The Capital of a Comeback
"Fei Wenwei is still thoughtful, Prime Minister, if I remember correctly, this Fei Wenwei was also recommended by you to me in the first place, right?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang approvingly.
Zhuge Liang smiled: "This Fei Yi is indeed recommended by the minister to His Majesty, according to the current situation, he should live up to the minister's trust in him." β
"I didn't live up to it, I didn't live up to it at all, this Fei Yi is really a great talent." Liu Bei praised Fei Yi very much, and asked Jiang Wei how the war in the Western Regions was going.
Jiang Wei said: "Back to Your Majesty, under the leadership of Lord Fei, the ministers have conquered the three major countries, seven small countries, half of the countries in the Western Regions on the North Tianshan Road have been conquered, and the Loulan Kingdom on the South Tianshan Road is also about to be conquered, if the time is enough, at most one year, we can conquer the entire Western Regions." β
"How did it go so well?" Liu Bei's eyes were surprised, and his face was incredulous.
"Lord Fei can be civil and martial, and he is also very good at combining vertical and horizontal techniques, taking advantage of the contradictions between the countries in the Western Regions, instigating them to kill each other, so we can make a profit, so we can use thousands of soldiers and horses to destroy several countries in a short period of time, in the final analysis, this is all the credit of Lord Fei."
When it comes to Fei Yi, Jiang Wei is full of praise, and his words reveal deep respect.
Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect it, this Fei Yi is also a great talent, if I could reuse him earlier." β
Zhuge Liang said lightly: "Your Majesty doesn't have to regret it, as the so-called times create heroes, Fei Yi has extraordinary strength in the art of vertical and horizontal, his special ability is useless in Middle Earth, but when he arrives in the Western Regions, he has burst out with amazing energy, if he is still by His Majesty's side, he may not be able to achieve such an achievement as he is now." β
"Well, the prime minister is reasonable, a good sentence makes heroes in the times." Liu Bei nodded again and again.
For a while, all the ministers were amazed by Fei Yi and were all impressed.
At this time, Jiang Wei said: "Your Majesty, although the minister repelled the Su thief, but after all, our army has few soldiers, and the grain and grass are limited. β
Liu Bei's heart was shocked, he was silent for a moment, and asked, "Boyo, in your opinion, is it possible for me to rely on the power of the Western Regions to make a comeback and recover Middle-earth?" β
"Of course it is!" Jiang Wei said proudly: "The countries of the Western Regions have a total of several million Dingkou, which is enough to raise an army of 200,000 people, and the Western Regions control the Silk Road and have a steady stream of wealth, as long as Your Majesty can unify the Western Regions and return to Yumen Pass in the future, he will be able to recover Middle Earth and prosper the Han Dynasty!" β
Jiang Wei made bold words, and Liu Bei was full of enthusiasm and passion, and the gloomy despair in his heart had been swept away and gone.
He looked at the rolling Gobi in the west, and a new and great blueprint was once again outlined in his heart.
He seemed to have seen the near future, he led hundreds of thousands of camel cavalry, mighty back to Yumen Pass, all the way along the footsteps he left, back to Chang'an, back to Luoyang, and replanted the banner of the Han Dynasty all over the world......
Taking a deep breath, Liu Beihuan swept the generals and said proudly: "The ancestors and the ancestors bless, my Han will never die, you are willing to conquer the Western Regions with me, he will make a comeback, recover the Middle Earth, and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty!" β
"I am willing to follow Your Majesty to the deathβ"
"I am willing to follow Your Majesty to the deathβ"
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals responded angrily and fell to their knees one after another.
The Han soldiers in the city also knelt on the ground one after another, shouting long live to Liu Biaoshan, generously showing their loyalty.
Liu Bei laughed and laughed wildly.
Before I knew it, it was night.
The west gate of the Jade Gate Pass was quietly opened, and the suspension bridge was slowly lowered.
Liu Bei rode out of the horse and was the first to step out of the Yumen Pass and set foot on the land of the Western Regions.
He immediately watched his soldiers drive out of the city and follow the road on the Gobi Desert in the northwest direction.
The moonlight above his head was thick, illuminating Liu Bei's gray face.
At this moment, Liu Bei's expression was both full of pride and mixed with a bit of reluctance.
Although his despair has been swept away, he has completely regained his ambition, and he has no resistance to retreating to the Western Regions, but after all, his homeland is difficult to leave, and he can't come back after an unknown number of years, how can Liu Bei not feel reluctant.
He stood there, looking up at the three vigorous ancient characters of "Yumen Pass" on the city tower, his thoughts were deep and he was silent for a long time.
"Someday we'll be back, Your Majesty, it's time to go." Zhuge Liang came to his side and said with relief.
Liu Bei's heart was shocked, he took a deep breath, turned his horse, and followed the large army to the west.
The ancient fortress behind him became farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared into the deep night.
"Su Zhe, you haven't won yet, I, Liu Bei, will come back sooner or later, sooner or later!"
Liu Bei looked back at Middle-earth for the last time, secretly made a heavy oath in his heart, and suddenly turned around, he had no nostalgia, and rode his horse away.
β¦β¦
The next day, the morning sun rises in the east, and the desolate Yumen Pass is brightened by the sunset.
After a night of rapid travel, Xu Huang and the follow-up more than 10,000 infantry troops finally arrived at the front line of Yumen Pass.
Su Zhe didn't want to leave Liu Bei too much respite, so he immediately raised his army and approached Yumen Pass to line up.
He wants to capture Guancheng in one go today, in order to prevent Liu Bei from escaping to the Western Regions.
When the sky was bright, more than 25,000 Wei troops rode on foot and lined up in front of the Yumen Pass, with a murderous aura and a strong military posture.
When the jade gate was closed, the Han army had already been in full array, the battle flags were neat, and the soldiers were lined up with swords and halberds.
"Your Majesty, let the minister lead the infantry army to attack, what is this small jade gate pass!" Xu Huang proudly asked for battle.
Ma Chao also shouted: "Gongming is right, if you don't attack the city at this time, you will wait for when." β
The fierce generals of the Great Wei on the left and right have generously asked for battle, and they are all full of absolute confidence in taking the Yumen Pass.
Su Zhe was not so excited, and his eagle eyes stared at the quiet Guancheng, as if he saw something unusual.
Suddenly, Su Zhe's eyes moved, and he snorted coldly: "It seems that the big-eared thief is a repeat of his old tricks, and he is like a bluff like Longle City, and he wants to bluff me with a bunch of strawmen." β
"Your Majesty means ......" Xu Huang's expression became solemn.
Su Zhe pointed to the enemy city and said: "Even if Liu Bei won a small victory yesterday, the morale of the army would not recover so quickly, you see that the banners on the enemy city are so neat, and the soldiers are arranged in an orderly manner, how is it possible, I expect that the big-eared thieves must have fled first." β
All the generals looked shocked.
Su Zhe had already raised his horsewhip, pointed at the Yumen Pass, and shouted: "Regardless of whether the big-eared thief escapes or not, the whole army will attack immediately, and I will take the Yumen Pass first!" β
The order was passed down, and 20,000 Great Wei infantry cavalry soldiers burst out of the formation, and swept towards the Yumen Pass like a tide.
