Ailang said: "It's not just Wusun."

Then he handed the bamboo slip to Huang Wudie standing next to him and said, "You read it to everyone!"

Huang Wudie responded to the promise, took the bamboo slips, and started to recite: "Lord Junjian, the situation in the Western Regions has changed a few days ago. The Kushan army suddenly appeared. The western countries, including Gumo, Kucha, etc., turned against each other. The Kushan army rushed in and was already at the foot of Jingjue City! Because the Queen Jingjue was plotted against and was unconscious, the subordinates had to overtake our army and the Jingjue National Army to fight to the death. The people in the city were panicked and the situation was very critical! Although the subordinates had the determination to serve the death, they were worried that they would eventually let the lord down. In addition, Wusun joined forces with the Kangju army and had defeated the Heilong Mountain Pass and approached the Puchanghai. The situation in Puchanghai was also very serious! The soldiers of our army were determined to die and swear to live and die with the city, hoping that we could persevere until the lord reinforcements arrived!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the content of Mao Jie's letter. Although many people expected that something might have happened in the Western Regions, they did not expect that the matter was so serious, which caught everyone off guard! Ailang couldn't help but curse: "Damn, why did I believe Wusun!?"

Then he looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Old Jia, do you know the Kushan Empire and Kangju?"

Jia Xu clasped his fists and said, "Report to the lord."

This Kushan Empire was a great country to the west of the Western Regions. Its territory was very vast. Ban Chao said that its strength could be compared with the Huns during the Qin and Han dynasties, and it was much richer.

As for Kangju, it seems to be of the same origin and clan as the Kushan Empire, located in the northwest of the Western Regions, and adjacent to Wusun.

The people in this country are very cunning and good at doing business. Most of the Hu merchants who have traveled from the east and left the Central Plains in recent years are merchants from Kangju.

Its national strength should not be underestimated, it is roughly equivalent to Wusun."

After hearing Jia Xu's description, everyone felt that the situation was very serious.

Ailang paced back and forth, frowning tightly.

He stopped, looked at Huang Yueying, and asked, "Yueying, how much food and grass is there in the surrounding areas of Luoyang and in Xiliang, Guanzhong?"

Huang Yueying immediately clasped her fists and said, "Luoyang reserves more than 330,000 dan, more than 530,000 dan, more than 780,000 dan, and Pu Changhai also contains hundreds of thousands of dan."

When Ailang heard these numbers, his eyebrows slightly relieved and said to everyone: "Since there is no problem with the food and grass, I plan to mobilize all troops to rush to the Western Regions immediately!"

Zhuge Liang said: "Now the army everywhere has its goals to deal with.

The troops that can be mobilized may not exceed 100,000."

Jia Xu said: "What Kong Ming said is that, however, the troops in the places of Jingzhou, Hanzhong, Guanzhong, Xiliang should be able to mobilize a part of them, as well as the Huns who surrendered not long ago.

It is estimated that two hundred thousand troops can be assembled."

He then looked at Ailang and said, "You can send troops from Xiliang and Guanzhong to help you nearby. Other places will speed up their gatherings. You don't have to wait until all the meetings are together before marching. As long as the assembly is completed, all places will immediately go to Yumen Pass. We will order Wei Yan, who is currently in charge of Xiliang, as the head commander, to coordinate various reinforcements before the lord arrives."

Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "What Wenhe said is extremely true!"

Other strategists also agreed.

Seeing this, Ailang said, "Okay, then follow Lao Jia's plan!"

Then he returned to the back of the book case, picked up the pen and wrote several orders, picked it up and handed it to Dian Wei, and said, "Send it immediately!"

Dian Wei Yingnuo said and left in a hurry.

Ailang's eyes swept across the middle of the generals, and finally fell on Ma Yunlu, saying, "Ma Yunlu is the official of the grain and grass, responsible for escorting grain and grass to the front of the army!"

Ma Yunlu held his fists and agreed.

Ailang glanced at the others and said apologetically: "It seems that this annual meeting will not be held.

You must return to your respective stations immediately and guard against them.

I guess when the army on my side moves, Cao Pi, Liu Bei and Sun Jian will notice the situation in the Western Regions. These guys will definitely not miss this great opportunity. The task of defense everywhere is very arduous!"

The civil and military officials couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, lord, I will definitely live up to my lord's entrusted!"

Ailang couldn't help but feel relieved and nodded.

At the same time, the royal banquet was taking place in the hall of the emperor's bedroom. The emperor and the empress and concubines all arrived, but the atmosphere was quite awkward.

The emperor smiled and said to Concubine Dong who was sitting on the right head: "I haven't seen my beloved concubine for a long time, and my beloved concubine's style is still the same!"

Concubine Dong frowned and said, "Thank you for your care."

The emperor smiled dryly, glanced at the female guard who stood behind Concubine Dong with a knife, and said, "My dear concubine, this is a family banquet. It's better not to be present for outsiders?"

Concubine Dong hesitated for a moment, feeling that there should be no problem, so she said to Hongye: "Hongye, you can stay outside and you don't have to come in without my instructions."

Hongye held his fists and agreed, glared at the emperor as if warning, and walked out of the hall.

The emperor's eyes twitched, his heart was both angry and depressed, and he felt that what he was doing was a coward, and a little female guard dared to be so disrespectful to him.

When the emperor saw Hongye leave the hall, his originally very kind expression changed a little, and he seemed to be a little angry. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine, and then said to Concubine Dong: "It seems that the beloved concubine has climbed up the high branch, I'm afraid you no longer take me seriously!"

Concubine Dong frowned and said lightly: "Why do you have to say these words again! Since I came out of the cold palace, I have been discouraged. Your Majesty and I have long since broken up!"

The emperor was furious and was about to have an attack, but he did not dare to actually do it.

Cao Jie said: "Sister Dong, as the saying goes, a couple has a hundred days of kindness for a night. Your Majesty is in trouble now. Can you really bear to watch it?"

Concubine Dong frowned, looked at Cao Jie, and smiled and said, "Today's banquet is indeed not simple! The Queen doesn't have to beat around the bush. Just say anything if you have anything to say!"

Cao Jie said: "I dare not ask my sister for too many things. I just hope that my sister can use the convenience of today to help His Majesty escape from Luoyang and go to Jizhou.

In this way, my sister has repaid the kindness of His Majesty to her before."

Concubine Dong couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you kind to me?"

I didn't feel it!"

He glanced at the two of them and said, "I can't agree to this matter."

Although I don’t know your intentions, this is obviously something that goes against the intentions of the King of Qin. I must not do anything to be sorry to him!”

The emperor and Empress Cao Jie originally thought that Concubine Dong would agree, but she did not expect that she would refuse in one bite. She was shocked, and the emperor was already worried about Concubine Dong's informing Lu Bu.

Concubine Dong knew the emperor so well. Seeing his expression, she knew what he was thinking. A thought arose in her heart. She felt that if the emperor had lost his status as an emperor, she would be a cowardly and useless man. Even if she was placed in the market, she might be despised. She was blind at the beginning and almost ruined everything for him, but her father had already died for him! Concubine Dong couldn't help but feel excited and frowned.

After calming down, he said coldly: "You don't have to worry that I will report it.

But this is only once.

If I hear something similar again, I will never hide it for you."

The emperor couldn't help but scold, "You, you, slut!" Concubine Dong's face changed, and she suddenly stood up, shouting, "Don't forget, this slut almost died for you, and the slut's father died in the hands of Cao Zhe because of his loyalty to you! We don't owe you anything, but you forgot all those who sacrificed for you! Remember for me, there is no sacrifice that is supposed to be!"

The emperor's face turned pale and pale, and he couldn't speak.

Concubine Dong said coldly: "I advise you not to have those daydreaming anymore! Your strategy and courage are impossible to be the opponent of the King of Qin, nor to govern the world! If you do not have the delusion of self-knowledge, you will definitely regret it in the future!"

After saying that, he threw the pale and extremely embarrassed emperor down and turned around and left.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other and couldn't speak.

Concubine Dong came out of the hall and saw the vast world outside the door. She couldn't help but feel relaxed. Her long-term anger finally came out.

Hongye came forward, clasped his fists and said, "Empress!"

Concubine Dong smiled and said, "Let's go back to our own place!"

The red leaves promised.

The emperor's banquet was collected, and he and Empress Cao Jie came to the bedroom of the bedroom.

The emperor complained: "You didn't even understand the situation, so you set up this banquet rashly. Not only did you fail to get what you want, but it was ridiculous! Fortunately, she promised not to inform Lu Bu, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Cao Jie couldn't help but feel angry, and looked at the emperor and sneered: "Yes, it's my fault! I found that some of the words of Concubine Dong really make sense. In your heart, you feel that you are an emperor and anyone should give you! It is the fault of others if you are not satisfied with it!"

The emperor was stunned and said unhappily: "How dare you talk to me like this!"

Cao Jie sighed, looked away, and didn't want to look at the man in front of him, muttering to himself: "A man's authority cannot be obtained by name.

Some people do not have any official positions, but others will be willing to serve him or even give his life. While some people have high positions and even noble status as kings, others will not take him seriously at all!”

The emperor's face darkened and he asked unhappily, "Who are you talking about?"

Cao Jie smiled coldly, sighed, and said, "I'm tired."

Say goodbye."

Then he left without waiting for the emperor to speak.

The emperor looked at Cao Jie's back, his face turned pale and he felt very angry, and he felt that everyone today was ruthless and was traitors! After a little depressed and troubled, he couldn't help but miss the Western Zhou Dynasty's etiquette society that Confucianism always advocated.

At this time, a little eunuch hurried in and said to the emperor with excitement: "Your Majesty, good news, good news! I just heard outside that something big happened in the Western Regions. Millions of alien coalition forces entered the Western Regions, and the entire Qin Prince's Mansion was in an uproar!"

When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up and he muttered to himself: "Can the sky finally opened his eyes!"

The emperor couldn't help but think of relying on external forces to restore his imperial power.

The Western Regions suddenly became in crisis, and many planned things had to be put aside.

Civil and military officials from all over the world hurried back to their respective garrisons, while civil and military officials who received the order began to get busy.

Some people noticed that there seemed to be more cavalrymen coming and going on the streets, but the lively festive atmosphere quickly shifted their thoughts to the festival in front of them.

The entire Luoyang City was as happy as ever, as if it was not affected by this emergency.

No wonder, because according to Ailang's request, in order to let everyone have a happy and peaceful Spring Festival, this matter was not announced and planned to inform the public after the Spring Festival.

Ailang was worried about the situation in the Western Regions, so the next day, he led Dian Wei, Yan Liang, and the 20,000 cavalry gathered urgently and left Luoyang and rushed to Yumen Pass.

In the snow all over the sky, the army rushed westward, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves was like the thunder of winter.

Twenty thousand people traveled day and night, and it took only seven days to arrive at Yumen Pass.

As soon as we arrived at Yumen Pass, a strong atmosphere of war came to us. An enemy army of 70,000 to 80,000 actually entered the city of Yumen Pass, completely blocking the passage of reinforcements to Puchanghai in the direction of Yumen Pass.

Ailang stood on the city gate tower and looked at the layers of enemy camps outside the city that seemed to be extremely strong. He frowned and asked, "What is the situation in Pu Changhai and Jingjue Kingdom now?"

Wei Yan shook his head and clasped his fists and said, "I haven't received any news from the two places for many days. I don't know what the situation is! The enemy army outside the pass came six days ago. He did not attack once, and built a solid camp outside the pass. Obviously, his ambition was not to attack, but to cut off our connection with Pu Changhai and Jingjue Kingdom! The last general led his army to attack three times, but the enemy just shrank the camp and could not come out. Our army finally failed to achieve any results!"

Ailang looked at the enemy camp outside the city, frowned, and then shouted to Dian Wei Yanliang: "Follow me to fight!"

Then the gate of Chengguan opened, and Ailang led Dian Wei Yanliang and the three thousand war cavalry to escape from Chengguan until the enemy camp.

Ailang ordered Yan Liang to challenge him.
