Chapter 1012 The war begins
The officer said anxiously: "Madam Sun Ren is back!"
Ailang was stunned. At this moment, a figure at the door swayed, and a familiar voice immediately came: "Brother!"
Ailang hurriedly looked at the door and suddenly saw the beautiful and charming Sun Ren walking in.
Ailang was overjoyed and ran over in two steps, hugged Sun Ren, and couldn't help but say, "You are so worried about me!"
Seeing Ai Lang's true feelings were revealed, Sun Ren couldn't help but feel moved.
Then he realized that this was a big tent and there were many people there. He couldn't help but blushed, pushed Ailang, and whispered: "Let me go! Everyone is watching!"
Ailang laughed and said, "It is natural for my husband to hold his wife, what's so shy about me!"
But even though that was the case, Sun Ren was let go.
At this time, Zhou Yu and others smiled and bowed to Sun Ren with a fist and said, "Greetings to Madam!"
Sun Ren blushed and said, "No need to be polite to everyone!"
Everyone straightened their waists, Zhou Yu asked Sun Ren with a smile: "Madam is back safely. I guess there is good news to tell the lord?"
Sun Ren smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Zhou Lang is really a clever plan!"
He immediately said to Ailang: "Brother, let me tell you some good news.
My father and elder brother were both moved by me, and they would soon open the city to surrender to elder brother!"
When Ailang heard this, he was only a little surprised, but he felt that since it was Sun Ren's words, it would be impossible. He immediately smiled and whispered: "After making such a great contribution, brother must reward you well!"
However, Sun Ren didn't know what he thought of, and his cheeks turned red and glared at Ailang with anger.
At this moment, a general ran in and clasped his fists at Ailang with joy on his face and said, "Lord, Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son led all the troops out of the city and were about to surrender to our army!"
Ailang was overjoyed and waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything about surrender! My father-in-law and brother-in-law finally figured it out and decided to come and reunite with me!"
The general quickly agreed, and Sun Ren glanced at Ailang gratefully.
Ailang personally led the men to accept Sun Jian and Sun Ce's surrender, and as he said himself, he did not treat Sun Jian and his son and his officers and soldiers with the attitude of treating prisoners of war. At the same time, he allowed the army to continue to be commanded by the two under the command of the two and become an independent legion.
Not long after, Ailang and others returned to Luoyang, and as for Cangwu and other places, they were handed over to Zhou Yu for temporary care. After the dispatched officials took office, Zhou Yu could take off the burden.
After this battle, Ailang's side temporarily quit and took advantage of favorable conditions to develop the economy with all its might.
Two years have passed without realizing it.
It's the Spring Festival again, and the inside and outside of Luoyang City are much more prosperous than two years ago. Every household is decorated with lights and decorations, and the fire trees and silver flowers decorated in the entire Luoyang City are like palaces in the sky. Under the reflection of the bright moon and snow scenery, people can't help but feel a wonderful feeling of not knowing whether it is in the world or in heaven.
Due to the migration of many nobles and rich people from small Western countries and indigenous countries in the south, alien faces in Luoyang City have become very common. People can always see alien faces coming and going in restaurants, tea shops, or even walking on the streets.
Luoyang has now demonstrated the unparalleled attraction of this era! At this time, Ailang was sitting in the study listening to Huang Yueying's report: "….
To sum up, all the warehouses in our area are now full of food, and the silver and money are like sand; and more than 800,000 troops are well-equipped and have high morale. As long as the husband gives the order, we can sweep away any enemy now!"
Ailang laughed and praised: "Okay! Very good! That's what I want to hear!"
Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "Lord, according to the news I just received, Cao Pi may be impatient. It is very likely to use troops to Cao Zhang recently! This is a great opportunity for us to decide the north in one fell swoop!"
Jia Xu clasped his fists and said, "I agree with the view of the Gongtai, but I think that this battle will not only regain the northern land, but also send a large army to attack Xichuan at the same time! According to the scout report, Liu Bei's previous practice of killing chickens and retrieving eggs has now suffered many evil consequences. He has been in trouble internally, and his ministers are also disloyal.
Now Liu Bei is too busy to take care of himself, and it is time to recover Xichuan!"
Ailang nodded, glanced at everyone, and asked with a smile: "Do you all think so?"
Everyone clasped their fists and said, "The time has come for unification of the world. Please give the order!"
Ailang smiled and said jokingly: "The answer is so neat, you can't have rehearsed it, right?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Ailang said: "Since everyone thinks this way, then that's it.
After the beginning of spring, a war of unification will be launched, which will be the last battle within our Central Plains!”
Everyone clasped their fists and said, "Lord is wise!" Ailang looked at Jia Xu and Chen Gong and said, "Gather 400,000 troops, divide the troops from two groups, and go north from Luoyang. Zhao Zilong is the main general, Yan Liang and Lu Meng are the deputy generals, and Chen Gong is the military advisor. Cross the Yellow River to attack Chaoge!"
Zhao Yun and the other three agreed with their fists.
Ailang continued: "The other route was launched from Qingzhou, with Huang Zhong as the main general, Zang Ba and Xu Huang as the deputy general, and continued to be military advisors, directly attacking Jizhou from the east!"
Huang Zhong and others agreed with their fists.
"This is a strategy to attack Cao Pi. At the same time, the public station can send someone to contact Cao Zhang. If Cao Zhang can convince him to surrender, no matter how good he is."
Chen Gong smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Lord is wise, my subordinates will receive the order!"
Ailang said: "This is the strategy of advancing north.
As for the strategy to attack Xichuan."
Speaking of this, Ailang's eyes turned to Zhuge Liang and Zhuge sisters, and said with a smile: "Of course, Kong Ming and my two Mrs. Zhuge came to serve as military advisors, and raised 200,000 troops. Ma Chao and other generals of the Ma family, Yan Yan, Dian Wei, Wei Yan, and Taishici, were the generals. I personally led them to divide the troops into three groups to attack Xichuan from Wudu County, Hanzhong Army and Jingzhou, and be sure to capture Xichuan in one fell swoop!"
Everyone agreed with their fists.
Ailang paused, "As for the important task of guarding Luoyang, it is handed over to Yueying! At the same time, he is responsible for transporting grain and grass to supply all battlefields! Wudie is the deputy, assisting Yueying!"
The two women left the line and agreed with their promise with their fists.
Ailang thought about it and felt that nothing had been left out. He smiled and said to everyone: "Now is the Spring Festival before the war, everyone can relax and celebrate the festival!"
Everyone smiled and bowed to the promise.
During the Spring Festival this year, heavy snow was particularly heavy and the atmosphere was particularly lively.
The people who came to Luoyang for the first time to celebrate the festival were very happy. They were attracted by everything in Luoyang and were only overwhelmed.
Before we knew it, the beautiful Spring Festival has passed.
The civil and military officials under Ailang rushed back to their respective places to prepare for the upcoming war.
At the same time, food, supplies and supplies began to be mobilized, and the troops of various units began to move, and the huge war machine of the Qin army began to run at full speed.
As the Spring Festival passed, Liu Bei, who was in Chengdu, received an urgent report from Luoyang. When he learned that Lu Bu had mobilized 200,000 troops to attack, he was shocked and immediately ordered all adult men in Sichuan to join the army to prepare for a decisive battle with the Qin army.
However, after all the previous events, no one was willing to work hard for Liu Bei. After many people learned that Liu Bei was going to mobilize the middle-aged man, they fled into the nearby mountains and hid. In the end, Liu Bei only captured tens of thousands of men and strengthened his army in a few days. In addition to the original army, there were a total of more than 100,000 troops. This was the entire force that Liu Bei could use to deal with the Qin army.
Liu Bei decided to sit in Jiange personally, and at the same time, he sent his second brother Guan Yu to defend Kuimen and his third brother Zhang Fei to guard Qishan. Liu Bei's plan was to use the steep mountains and rivers of Xichuan to block the Qin army from the mountains and ridges to consume the opponent, so that the opponent would eventually be unable to support him and had to retreat.
At the same time, Liu Bei ordered Mi Zhu to be the official of grain and grass in Chengdu, responsible for transporting grain and grass to support the army.
After the arrangement was made, Liu Bei's more than 100,000 troops almost rushed to various passes to prepare for a decisive battle with the Qin army.
Ailang led Dian Wei, Zhuge Mengxue and the guards to Hanzhong to meet with the Ma family generals.
Ma Chao welcomed Ailang and his group into the tent and reported the current situation to Ailang: "Report to the lord, just received a report from the scout, Liu Bei personally took charge of Jiange, and put on a stance to fight our army to the death!"
Ailang asked: "Meng Qi had attacked Jiange before, what do you think?"
Ma Chao couldn't help frowning and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that Jiange is really a natural danger! It is definitely a natural barrier that can't be opened by a man. On that day, our army attacked Jiange and lost thousands of people, but even the city walls of Jiange were unable to climb up! The terrain in front of Jiange is steep and complicated, I'm afraid that heavy weapons such as vehicle-mounted cannons cannot exert their power! To be ashamed, although I have been considering the way to break through Jiange, I still can't think of a way to break through Jiange until today!"
Ailang thought for a moment, glanced at Zhuge Mengxue, and signaled her to speak.
Zhuge Mengxue understood and stepped forward and said, "When Kong Ming was still by Liu Bei's side, he found a small path to bypass Qishan and Jiange!"
Everyone was surprised, and Ma Chao quickly clasped his fists and asked, "I wonder where the path the lady is talking about is?"
Zhuge Mengxue walked to the sand table in the big tent, and everyone couldn't help but surround her.
Zhuge Mengxue pointed to a steep mountain behind Qishan and said, "There is a small road here that can cross the steep mountain and ridge to Jiangyou. Since there is a small town in this area called Yinping, Kong Ming named it Yinping Path.
After the army arrived in Jiangyou, it could go south from Jiangyou and finally arrive in Chengdu through Jiangyou Mianzhu!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look happy. Ma Yunlu was still careful and asked, "But, does Liu Bei not know about this Yinping Path?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhuge Mengxue's face again.
Zhuge Mengxue said: "This is not certain.
Kong Ming didn't have time to talk about this to Liu Bei, but he didn't know if Liu Bei paid attention to Yinping Road afterwards."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but worry.
Hao Ren shouted: "It's useless to worry now.
Immediately raise troops to advance to Jiange, and then go and see if I can smuggle Yinping. If it doesn’t work, I will find another way!”
