Thank you Ouyang Yichen for five consecutive rewards!!

Sima Yi glanced at Wei Yan, whose face was uncertain, stepped forward, held high the seal of the Governor of the Western Regions awarded to him by Cao Cao, and raised his voice to the generals: "This official orders you in the name of the Governor of the Western Regions!" ”

The Han and Yi generals immediately knelt down on one knee.

Sima Yi ordered: "The 1st to 50,000 troops of the coalition army will immediately move out to assist General Qiang Le in defending the Tianshan Fortress, and the rest of the army will be ready to fight at any time!" ”

"Obey the orders of the Grand Governor!" All the generals agreed in unison.

Sima Yi turned around, but Wei Yan was gone, Sima Yi knew that Wei Yan must have left in a negative mood.

Sima Yi couldn't help frowning, and ordered the herald next to him to immediately pass the message to Cao Cao's flying pigeon, in fact, the reason why Sima Yi rejected Wei Yan's decision was not because Sima Yi wanted to fight with Wei Yan for power, he knew very well that the Western Regions was a fire frame, and whoever wanted to monopolize power in the Western Regions would be on Cao Cao's must-kill list, Sima Yi was not such a short-sighted person.

The reason why he stopped Wei Yan was just that he felt that Wei Yan's rash action would only cause unnecessary trouble, the current situation was unclear, it was not appropriate to act rashly, and he should respond to all changes with the same, and such a strategy was also in line with Sima Yi's consistent character.

Just when the war in the Western Regions continued to burn, thousands of miles away in the Central Plains was also covered with war clouds, Sun Jian gathered the main force in Chibi, he seemed to take this opportunity to counterattack, and Meng Shu entangled fifty or sixty thousand barbarian troops, and was preparing to march to Yizhou.

Meng Shu looked at the tens of thousands of troops gathered in the square, and his expression was very excited.

There were several people standing behind him, except for his younger brother Meng You. The other was Yang Feng, who had been defeated at the hands of the Wei army that day, and he was one of the few barbarian leaders who responded to Meng's call.

Yang Feng and Meng You were not as excited as Meng Yu. Their faces were full of melancholy, and they were not optimistic about the advance of the army into Yizhou at all. Because there were not many defenders near Yizhou, there were more than 30,000 people, all of whom were the elite of the Fifth Army, and there was also the main force of the Wei army in the direction of Jiaozhou, and more importantly, most of the tribes within the barbarians did not agree with the rebellion against the Great Wei.

In fact, Yang Feng wanted to surrender to Great Wei, but the envoy sent by Great Wei to negotiate with him was killed by Yang Feng in a fit of anger because he was too arrogant, and then Yang Feng regretted it. However, there is no choice.

"This time the army enters Yizhou, I will definitely ask the Han people for what should belong to us!"

Meng Shu shouted in a very demagogic tone, but tens of thousands of soldiers just shouted weakly in response.

Meng Shu frowned. Looking back, he asked Meng You with anticipation: "Is there any news of Zhurong?" ”

Meng You and Yang Feng exchanged a look, and Meng You replied: "No! ”

Meng Shu snorted heavily and flicked his whip violently, and at this moment, one of Meng Huo's personal soldiers hurriedly ran in front of Meng Shu and reported: "Great King." Mrs. Zhurong's messenger is here! ”

Meng Huo's eyes lit up immediately, and he said urgently: "Please!" ”

Immediately, regardless of the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of them, they hurriedly walked towards the direction of the conference hall, Meng You and Yang Feng glanced at each other, and they both shook their heads with a wry smile.

Meng Shu hurried to the council chamber. At this time, the messenger sent by Mrs. Zhurong was waiting, a middle-aged man in his forties. Wears a barbarian costume.

"Did Zhu Rong change his mind?" Meng Shu asked impatiently.

The envoy was stunned for a moment, took out a letter and presented it to Meng Shu with both hands. Said: "This is my master's handwritten letter, please look at it!" ”

Meng Shu hurriedly took the letter. Take a closer look. Suddenly he was furious, crumpled the letter, put it in his mouth and swallowed it, and the messenger stood dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Meng Huo shouted outside the door: "Someone! ”

Several pro-soldiers immediately entered, and Meng Shu pointed at Zhurong's envoy and shouted with a hideous face: "Drag him down for me and burn him to death!" ”

The envoy was all dead, and at the same time felt inexplicable. Hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "King, spare your life!" ”

Meng Huo yelled impatiently at the few soldiers who were waiting for orders: "Didn't you hear my order? ”

Several of the soldiers couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, and when they dragged the hapless messenger who was still begging for mercy down, a moment later, he died in the flames, and in the process, Meng Shu had been watching with a sinister smile on his face.

The next day, Mrs. Zhurong, who was in the Zhurong tribe, received the news that the envoy was brutally executed by Meng Shu.

Mrs. Zhurong couldn't help but say angrily: "How did he become so tyrannical? ”

Then his expression darkened, and he muttered with some self-reproach: "It's me who is sorry for him!" ”

"Master, you didn't do anything wrong?" Zhu Yankuan, who was a sister to Mrs. Zhu Rong on the side, explained.

Mrs. Zhu Rong shook her head, and Zhu Yan said solemnly when she saw this: "The reason why the master and King Meng Huo will be separated is because the master and King Meng Huo have completely different views!" King Meng Huo has always hoped that our barbarians can establish an independent and powerful country, even if there is no matter between the master and His Majesty the Great Wei, today's situation is unavoidable! ”

Mrs. Zhurong nodded, and said with a resolute face: "In order for our people to live happily, we must stop him!" ”

Zhu Yan asked puzzledly: "Master, the Wei army's combat effectiveness is very strong, and there are heavy troops in Jiaozhou and Yizhou, it is impossible for King Meng to succeed at all, why should we do this more?" ”

Mrs. Zhurong explained: "This is different! If we resolve this rebellion ourselves, then the Great Wei Imperial Court will clearly feel our sincerity, on the contrary, I am afraid that even if His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor still believes in us, the civil and military officials of the Great Wei Imperial Court will be suspicious of us! ”

Zhu Yan nodded as if he didn't understand.

Lady Zhurong ordered: "Immediately, our army and the tribal armies such as the vulture bones will act according to the original plan!" ”

Zhu Yan promised and retreated.

Mrs. Zhurong came to the platform on the top of the small wooden building, looking at the gloomy sky, and her originally depressed heart became even heavier!

Meng Shu led the army straight to Yue Cui to march, Yue Cui used to be Meng Huo's base camp, but now it is firmly in the hands of the Wei army, at this time, the Wei army's fifth army of 10,000 elite has been gathered in Yue Cui, and 10,000 light cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers are led by Gao Shun, Gao Lan to rush to this side, and the general Tai Shici personally led the 50,000 elite of the second army out of the Shanghai-Tianjin Pass to the north.

The Wei army's movements were a bit big, because the Wei army received news that in addition to Meng Huo's barbarian army, there was also a larger barbarian army moving towards Yizhou.

The central court of Chang'an was greatly shocked by this matter, because according to the previous situation, the barbarians were unlikely to appear in the current situation, and at this time, Jia Xu, who was still in Yizhou, and handled the affairs of Yizhou, couldn't help but be a little nervous, and the main forces of the Wei army in Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou were mobilized around the barbarian army.
