Chapter 36 Zhong Hui (2)

All the attendants helped Liu Chen to the back hall to treat the wounds, and everyone present was respectful of Liu Chen's perseverance. Although this arrow was not at the bull's eye, it was much better than the few people in front of him. Liu Chan was a little relieved and told the imperial physician to cure Liu Chen's injuries no matter what, otherwise he would not have to be an imperial physician anymore.

The next one was the player of Yagou Liu Lin. Yagou General was different from Yagou General. During the Three Kingdoms period, only Shu Han had this title. Yagou General was a fifth-rank general, and Yagou General was second only to the fifth-rank general, slightly higher than the general's military position. At the beginning of the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Feng did not rescue Guan Yu because of Meng Da's instigation, which led to Liu Bei, who was in a state of Hanzhong at that time, was furious and gave Liu Feng to commit suicide.

Another theory is that Liu Bei had no descendants at the beginning, and he was afraid that his subordinates would be unstable, so he adopted Liu Feng as his descendant. But not long after, Adou, or Liu Chan, was born, and the choice of heir became a problem. Therefore, he took the opportunity to execute Liu Feng to ensure his own power. Of course, this statement was only circulated in secret, involving His Majesty today, and no one would say these taboo words with his head on his head.

When Liu Feng died, Liu Lin was still young and Liu Chan was young. Although he was Liu Lin's father, the age difference between the two was only ten years old. In other words, Liu Lin was the oldest junior among the royal family. Liu Lin had a strong figure and a clear edge, but his eyes were dim and unclear. Decades of great time passed, and even the fifth-rank general had not even been obtained, so he could only waste his life. The royal family was extremely honorable to anyone, and for Liu Lin was a mountain on his back. Because of his father Liu Feng, he was destined to be dull in this life.

Seeing Liu Lin's depression, Liu Chanxin felt enlightenment and signaled that the competition began.

Liu Lin's mount was thin and small, and it seemed a bit difficult to carry Liu Lin. Liu Lin was wearing armor, and the satin inside was old and yellow, but the armor was shining - it was used by Liu Feng back then. This outfit was shabby in the army, not to mention how it looked in the royal family.

Everyone secretly sighed for Liu Lin's regret, who made you not have a good father... Liu Lin is used to the eyes of others and doesn't care. People are bumpy on the horse's back, and they seem a little unruly. You can think whatever you want, and you will always be proud of your father in your heart.

Someone couldn't help but whisper: "Do you think this person can do it?"

"Look at the horse that is so thin, how can you ride it?"

"No, this jump won't crush the horse half to death! I won't change a good horse."

"What do you know? Does he have money?"

There were only a few people who were talking about it, but it also aroused Liu Chan's dissatisfaction. Feeling the glaring eyes of His Majesty, everyone suddenly remembered the bloody massacre, and couldn't help but tremble and suddenly watched it without any intention.

When the drum sounded, Liu Chan and Lin were not able to see how Liu Lin was moving. The thin horse under his crotch suddenly penetrated, and three obstacles were leaping effortlessly. Guan Yi and Zhang Zun looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Liu Chan and others felt incredible when they saw Liu Lin jumping into the horse farm like a child's play. The whisperers just now also closed their mouths, as if they had never said anything.

In a blink of an eye, Liu Lin rode a small thin horse to the finish line, and calmly pulled out three arrows from the quiver pot. He used the continuous bead arrow technique to spread his arms and pull the bow! In an instant, three long arrows were inserted into the red heart in the shape of a font, and everyone in the field couldn't help but cheer. At this time, Liu Lin seemed to wake up and returned to his dull air, and got off the horse and thanked the holy grace.

Seeing that Liu Lin had regained his restraint, Liu Chan knew that it would take some time to control this person, so he was not in a hurry and waved his hand to signal the competition to continue.

The last contestant was Liu Chan's fifth son, Liu Chen, and the smartest of Liu Chan's seven sons. The outstanding performance of Liu Chen and Liu Lin made everyone have more expectations for Liu Chen. Liu Chan knew that although his son was smart, Liu Xun's martial arts were much worse than Liu Zan, and most of them repeated the same mistakes. Thinking about his sons being wiped out soon, Liu Chan was inexplicably sad. If he had been trained by himself since he was a child, he would have had a few successors.

Liu Chen got on the track and reached the finish line when he was not slow. Everyone on the field was stunned, but Liu Chan was amused. Several royal families who had raced before beat their chests and stamped their feet, shouting that it was not worth it. It turned out that Liu Chen would ride a horse around the obstacle before the obstacle, and he went to the finish line easily. The royal family often went out to hunt, and the archery skills were not good or bad. Liu Chen glanced for a long time and shot the red heart with an arrow!

When laying out the obstacles, there were no suitable items, so they were all temporary structures. There were inevitably gaps on both sides. I didn’t want to take advantage of them. The rules I had previously announced did not state that I had to jump over the obstacles to count. Thinking about it, Liu Chan couldn’t help but feel a little sad. Seeing Liu Chen coming over to kneel down and thank him, but could not scold him in person, he had to praise him a few words and announced the end of the competition.

Liu Chan felt happy when he returned to the harem. No matter how he said that his son did not lose to others. For a moment, he forgot that he was not born by him.

In the Wei army camp, Sima Zhao rewarded the merits. Before the reward was rewarded, he was punished. General Li Guang was afraid of the enemy and caused the Wu people to break through the southern camp. He was dragged out of the camp and beheaded for public display. Next, Taishan Prefect Chang Shi, who brought three thousand Wei troops near Li Guang's camp, and from beginning to end, he allowed the Wu people to rage and hold the troops unmoved. Chang Shi claimed that he was sick, Sima Zhao snorted coldly and said nothing and ordered people to pull out the tent and cut them.

This time, the Wei army lost 40,000 troops, but also killed nearly 40,000 Huainan and Wu soldiers, which was a draw. The Wu army came to rescue Shouchun, and the 30,000 infantry and cavalry had to enter the city for 5,000 remaining troops. With Quanyi, the Wu army surrendered by Quanduan brothers. The military losses of the two sides seemed to be almost the same, and the morale was completely opposite. Seeing the miserable appearance of the Wu army in the city, no one would expect such foreign aid anymore. The Huainan army was not defeated, but morale was inevitable. The Wei army was surrendered by Quanyi brothers and repelled the enemy's internal and external attacks, and the momentum was high.

In terms of the first merit, the Wei generals were humble. Hu Fen pushed it to Wang Ji, Wang Ji gave it to Zhoutai, Zhoutai was transferred to Chen Qian, Chen Qian gave it to Zhong Hui, and Zhong Hui said that it was the general Sima Zhao who was planning. After a round, the first merit fell on Sima Zhao. Sima Zhao laughed. This merit was still Wang Ji's. The Wei army in the east and south of the city were all commanded by Wang Ji, and the Wei army on the west road only came to help and picked up a bargain at the last moment. Without the bloody battle of Wang Ji's army, there would be no victory for the Western road army.

Hu Fen was attacked by the enemy from both sides and still stood firm in the battle to the death, successfully blocking the Wu army and the Huainan army. Even if the battle was broken, it was a great achievement. His brother Hu Lie charged forward and personally led the elite troops to resist Jiao Yi, killing many enemies to make up for the lack of Taishan Prefect. Zhoutai gathered the defeated army to besiege the Eastern Wu people, and Chen Qian divided his troops to take a surprise attack to rescue Hu Fen. All of these were recorded in a document and sent to Xiang County to see for Emperor Cao Mao of Wei.

Sima Zhao's rewards and punishments were clearly distinguished by the morale of the soldiers, so Wang Christ was still in charge of the siege of Shouchun East and South. General Fenwu Shi Bao, governor of Yanzhou Zhoutai, and prefect of Taishan Hu Lie each divided his army to be responsible for the defense of the east and east of Jiangdong. The distribution was decided by the bell meeting, took out a letter just written in his arms and handed it to Sima Zhao and said, "Please take a look at the general."

When Sima Zhao saw the result, he said happily: "Shi Ji won my heart deeply, so Huainan is not worth worrying about!"

Zhong Hui smiled and said, "Zhuge Dan, Wen Qin has always had old grievances. Now the people of Wu are unhappy and will be ridiculed by the Huainan army. They use a full-mouthed pen to incite the people of Wu to provoke them. The surrendered soldiers of Eastern Wu persuade them to surrender outside every day, and disasters will occur in the city sooner or later." When the generals heard this, they all agreed with Zhong Hui's words. The city walls of Shouchun are high and there are many troops, and Zhuge Dan is well prepared. If they attack for a strong attack, they will suffer heavy losses. As the "civil war" of Wei, fighting hard is definitely not the best strategy.

After everyone left, only Sima Zhao and Zhong Hui were left in the tent. Sima Zhao said: "It is reported that Sun Jing raised the Wu army to come to Shouchun with 100,000. Does Shi Ji have any countermeasures?"

Zhong Hui said: "The siege of Shouchun is not good for war. It is best to let one army set up another battlefield to delay the Wu army."

"Oh? It will take one month to say that Sun Jing's army will be in this way. He said that Shouchun is not in a strong siege?" Sima Zhao asked curiously.

"The surrender of the Quanyi brothers will not be long, and if Sun Jing knew that there were only two ways to go." Zhong Hui looked at Sima Zhao and said lightly. "One is to withdraw troops and return to Wu to beware of the aristocratic families taking the opportunity to cause chaos; the other is to accelerate the march to fight our army to regain their prestige."

Zhong Hui agreed to block the news of surrender for the Quanyi brothers so that the Quan family in the Eastern Wu could escape from the Wu Kingdom. Once the news came out, the Wu country would be in turmoil. Sun Feng was ready to go to war. When encountering this, he could only choose to turn around and appease the country, or fight quickly with the Wei army, and then return to the court.

If you change the plan of going out, and returning directly to the country will help stabilize the situation, your reputation will inevitably be hit. With 100,000 Wu troops, you dare not go out to the country when you see some movement in the country, and there will definitely be criticisms. If you go out according to normal arrangements, the time will be delayed too long, and the country will become even more dangerous. If you want to avoid being hit and take into account the domestic situation, you can only send troops to fight and decide quickly with the Wei people. Regardless of the victory or defeat, you will have an explanation for your return.

After all, people from the Quan clan will be discovered once they leave Wu, so how Zhong blocks the news cannot delay more time.

"Sun Feng was arrogant and arrogant, and he would definitely bring troops north. The Wu army looked forward and looked back, but he just wanted to fight to block people's mouths. Even if he was 100,000, he would be afraid of it?" Zhong Hui continued to analyze.

"The general should send elite troops south to fight, and the Wu army will be defeated!" Zhong Hui said affirmatively.

After hearing this for a long time, Sima Zhao reached out and held it on Zhong Hui's shoulder and said, "I'll follow this plan!"

That night, dozens of letters shot into the city from outside Shouchun City, all of which were about persuading the Wu army in the city to surrender. Some soldiers patrolled the city picked it up and sent it to Zhuge Dan.

When Zhuge Dan was an official, he was a flamboyant person and admired his reputation. After being valued by the court, he became even more domineering. Wen Qin met Zhuge Dan and was quite ashamed of his behavior. When Emperor Ming of Wei Cao Rui was the one who acted, he was particularly disgusted with such styles, so a group of people, including Zhuge Dan, were removed from office and imprisoned. After Wen Qin knew about it, he criticized Zhuge Dan and others several times in front of everyone, so the two became enemies.

It was not until after Cao Rui's death that Zhuge Dan was reused again. When Wuqiu Jian and Wen Qin raised troops to attack Sima Shi in Huainan, they knew that Zhuge Dan was a general of the Cao clan. Therefore, they sent people to contact Zhuge Dan, hoping that Zhuge Dan would participate in the righteous act. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Dan killed the envoy and brought people to the Sima camp. His mother Qiu Jian and Wen Qin were defeated by Zhuge Dan because of the "righteous act" of beheading the envoy and stayed in Huainan.

As time goes by, enemies don’t come together. Who would have thought that Wen Qin brought Wu Jun to assist Zhuge Dan today?

After reading the letter, Zhuge Dan was furious and scolded the Wu army for being unfaithful. Zhu Cheng, Jiao Yi quickly advised: "This is a plan for the Wei people to rebel. The Wei people knew that Wen Zhong had offended his lord in the past, so he would have made such a bad plan! The lord should not fall into the Wei people's traitor!"

Zhuge Dan knew the intentions of the Wei people. But the Wu army was not his confidant. Although he knew that the Wei people were determined to provoke, he still couldn't help but suspicion of the Wu army.
