In Liangzhou and Yanmen County, heavy snow was sprinkled all over the place, and the cold feeling became more and more intense.

On the streets, pedestrians are in a hurry, and even if someone goes out, they also speed up their pace.

Even the people sitting in the carriage couldn't help but hug their hands to warm their hands and experience the cold of winter.

Tian Wang, the guard general of Yanmen County, is a general sent by Guo Wentong to guard the city here, although this person is not a famous general, but he is cautious, and he has been appointed by Guo Wentong, so he will be sent here to garrison at this time.

At this time, Tian Wang was eating in the general's mansion, the room was very quiet, there were several shì women serving shì, although he was not from a big family, but after becoming a general, he was a little majestic, when he was eating, unless it was a major matter, he should not be disturbed.

was slowly eating his meal, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside, and after a while, someone was outside asking to see him.

Tian Wang's face suddenly showed no worries, and said lightly: "Come in." ”

A person walked in outside the door, it was a subordinate general under Tian Wang's account, and this person was on duty today.

Seeing that this person's face was ugly, Tian Wang didn't say anything, and asked directly: "What's wrong, so urgent?"

"General, I just got the news that the Hu army raided the border and lost Yanqi County, please make plans quickly!"

"What did you say?" Hearing this, Tian Wang suddenly stood up, and the table in front of him was hit, and the dishes collided, making people more and more upset.

"You guys retreat first!" Glancing coldly at the shì women, these women hurriedly retreated.

"Tell me what you got!" Tian Wang got up a few steps, stepped on the ground and made several noises before stopping, looking at the person in front of him and saying.

"Yes, it is said that His Royal Highness Balu of the Hu people led 30,000 troops to raid Yanqi County, and it is said that there were some people who responded at that time and captured this county in one fell swoop. ”

"It was only after the long journey, and the horses and soldiers were so exhausted that they did not act immediately after taking the county, that we were given time to report and react. ”

"At present, the Hu army has obtained the official warehouse and fed the horses with grain, in order to quickly recover the horses, even if there is no fight this year, there will be a big war next spring. ”

Horses eat grass and grow unhappily, but if they open up to eat grain, each horse is guaranteed to have a stone per month, and they can be strong and strong This is the ration of three people, which is too wasteful, and it is generally impossible But as a Hu person, I don't care about this.

After listening to the report, Tian Wang's face was ugly.

I had heard about the invasion of the Hu people, and I thought it was unrelated for a while, but I didn't expect that the Hu army would pass through a large grassland and arrive in Liangzhou so soon!

Tian Wang pondered for a moment, and immediately sent an order: "Pass my order, immediately pass this news to the counties, and quickly report to the king and ask for help from Guanzhong." ”

Chang'an, Chang'an, was originally the imperial capital of the ages, located in the Guanzhong Plain of "Eight Hundred Miles of Qinchuan", the south is the Qinling Mountains, becoming a natural barrier in the south, and the Yaoshan Mountain, Huanglong Mountain, and Beishan Mountains in the north, facing each other with the Qinling Mountains.

In the middle is a large fertile plain, and the eight rivers are like bloodlines, bringing life.

This was the foundation of the emperor, but with the felling of the forest, the formation of the Yellow River, resulting in a broken Guanzhong, the ancients did not understand this truth, thinking that Feng Shui was transferred to the south.

But even so, Chang'an is still a magnificent city, consisting of three parts: Guocheng, Imperial City, and Miyagi.

After several years of cultivation, it is the capital of Qin, the cold weather, without affecting the prosperity of Chang'an, the street can not be said to be busy, but it is also pedestrians like carp, with a bit of royal spirit.

The Imperial Palace of the Imperial City has three gates, which are lined with official offices and are full of imperial guards.

These guards are all tigers and bears, and they are cold and fierce.

However, at this time, Guo Wentong was not in the main hall, there was a small garden in the north area, there was a fine house in it, and a small hall in it was where he was located at this time.

Guo Wentong was sitting and drinking tea, fighting and marching for a long time, and it was only a few days after returning to Chang'an, and he was still a little tired, but his eyes were bright and sharp, and the whole person exuded a kind of majesty.

The left and right were accompanied by Guo Wentong's ministers, and when he returned to Guanzhong, the king of Qin summoned several confidants and ministers to discuss the matter and when to attack Luoyang City.

This map and internal response made Guo Wentong impatient, this may be the only chance to seize the world.

Several ministers around King Qin were a little hesitant about this.

"Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be cautious, Luoyang is a very place, Zheng Guogong Liu Man has been in Luoyang for two and a half years, and his power has extended to Chongzhou, it can also be called a strong army, our army is very tired of conquering Liangzhou, I am afraid that attacking Luoyang is still a bit far-fetched!"

Three years ago, Yong Liu Man of Luoyang County suddenly launched a mutiny, killed 10,000 people, captured the entire Luoyang City, and began to establish Zheng Guogong on his own, raising 100,000 troops.

However, at that time, it was the beginning of the establishment, even the old and weak auxiliary soldiers were counted, known as 100,000, which was very large, and after stabilization, the old and weak were gradually eliminated and trained into an army, and now there are 50,000 soldiers.

Although the scale is less than half, the strength has more than doubled.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I don't know whether this map and list are true or false, if the annotations are wrong, wouldn't our army use this map to outweigh the losses?

"Hey, you're too careful, even if you don't have this map, sooner or later you will have to attack Luoyang, and having this map is like a tiger with wings.

Although our army is tired, it is enough to have February repairs. Guo Wentong's voice was a little low: "Since you have prepared almost, do it early, so as not to let others take the lead, and if you don't take it, you will be blamed." ”

This Luoyang is the only chance for the King of Qin, hearing Guo Wentong's words, several ministers were silent, it is indeed this road, but the strength and preparation are insufficient, and if you send troops, you can't attack it again, I'm afraid it's even worse.

"Your Majesty, Luoyang wants to fight, but Liangzhou can't ignore it, the minister has a few strategies, please ask the king to judge. A person came out of the column and said, Guo Wentong saw that this person was wearing a rice sè official robe, about forty years old, and it was his own adviser Gao Fengtai.

Guo Wentong coughed and said, "Mr. Gao, please speak." ”

Gao Fengtai arched his hand and said lightly: "Lianggang has just been pacified, in Liangzhou, our army has lost a lot of soldiers, and there are many remnants that have not been cleaned up, and the people's hearts have not been appeased, so it is better to send people to open a warehouse and release grain now, and transport grain to appease the people." ”

"He also recruited warriors with money, and invited Liangzhou Hu to send troops with a lot of money, one to remove the hidden dangers, and the other to increase the troops, and then attack Luoyang, so that they can go up.

Liangzhou Hubu and grassland are not one, there are more than a dozen tribes.

"As for some Hu soldiers who originally followed our army, you can let them go to Luoyang in a team of 100 people in the name of Hu Khan to make some troubles, so that the people of Luoyang are in a trance, thinking that the Hu people in the north have gone south, so that Luoyang will focus on the north, if Luoyang is in chaos, just take the opportunity to send troops, and then there will be internal and external troubles, wouldn't Luoyang City be easier to take?"

Originally, as soon as Guo Wentong got the city map, he couldn't wait for the capture of Luoyang, but when he heard this, his mind suddenly became clear, and when he thought about it calmly, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his mood.

When I get older, I can't hold back when I encounter some opportunities.

"Just do what you say!" Guo Wentong is a cheerful person, once he realizes that what he did before is wrong, he will immediately change it.

Several ministers were also quite relieved to see this, and added suggestions one after another.

"Your Majesty, if you don't have enough food, you can buy it from the State of Chu. ”

"Every time Chu buys, is Chu Guo willing?" Guo Wentong was a little suspicious.

"Your Majesty, the State of Chu has concentrated its forces on attacking Xuzhou, and now that the horse breeding land in Liangzhou has been obtained by us, there is a shortage of horses, and horses are exchanged for food, presumably the King of Chu will give permission. ”

After listening to the words, Guo Wentong looked up slightly into the distance, pondered for a moment, and smiled: "You can give it a try." ”

At this meeting, the next step to attack Luoyang has been finalized, but more preparations need to be made, and the spring flowers will bloom in March next year, which is the time to send troops.

And so the meeting ended.

The ministers were thinking about retreating, when there was a sound of footsteps.

Guo Wentong was stunned, and he didn't know what kind of premonition he had, and his face sank.

At this time, a civil official shouted "report"!

Guo Wentong said: "Come in!"

As soon as the words fell, a civil official of the eighth grade came in, and the speed was very hurried.

"You are an official of the imperial court! What kind of system is it like this!" A minister saw that Guo Wentong's face was not good, so he reprimanded this civil official.

The civil official stood awkwardly and bowed his head in response: "Yes, my lord, the official is in trouble...... , but there is urgent information from Liangzhou, 30,000 Hu people, invade Liangzhou, Yanqi County is lost, and Tian Wang, the guard of Yanmen County, has raised troops to guard and report to the king and ask for help!"

When Guo Wentong heard this, he only felt a pain in his heart, and the smell of blood was about to come out, so he stood up: "What?"

As soon as he said these two words, his head was dizzy and he almost fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Several ministers around him were suddenly shocked, and hurriedly helped him up, Guo Wentong sat on the table, waved his hand, and said: "It's okay, don't worry." ”

After a moment, Guo Wentong came to his senses, but his face was pale, and his voice was a little choked.

"My Guo family has three generations of military gates, and I have succeeded to the throne, so I want to unify the world, mix the metaverse, and have been fighting for it, but luck is always difficult, only to get half of Guanzhong, there is the unification of Shu, the unification of Guanzhong, the south was pacified, and Liangzhou was captured, I wanted to take advantage of this to capture Luoyang, but there was a Hu invasion - Lone's life, how can it be so bitter!"

As he spoke, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes and fell: "Last time Wang Hongyi seized Shudi, Lone only had a few counties, why didn't he take the opportunity to take Guanzhong, Lone has always been strange, and now I think about it, it is really God favoring him, such as he took Guanzhong Liangzhou, and now he is on top." ”

‘“...... Now Wang Hongyi is unified in the south, invincible on his back, and has a large army to calmly attack Xuzhou, and Lone has to give him a top...... , is it impossible to open the way for the true king?"

As he spoke, he cried loudly, seeing that Guo Wentong was overwhelmed with grief, and all the ministers were crying.

Indeed, this time Liangzhou was defeated, and he wanted to capture Luoyang, which was the only opportunity to seize the world, but now the invasion of the Hu people has almost destroyed all this hope.

Think about it again, the three generations of the Guo family are all diligent in military and political affairs, especially Guo Wentong, who has great ambitions since he was a child, and he only sleeps in the middle of the night when he gets up every day...... , I felt sorry for him, but there was no comfort, so I had to be silent.

Guo Wentong cried for a while, his mind calmed down a little, his face was gloomy, but he received sadness, and gave a fierce order: "Tomorrow the court will discuss the affairs of Liangzhou." ”

There was a slight tremolo in the sonorous tone, and everyone was sympathetic, and they all left their seats and bowed their heads and kowtowed: "Yes!" @.
