For Ma Yan, a group of civil and military officials who were loyal to the Wei State and the Sima family, may not have a good impression. Compared with Sima Yi, and later Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, and Sima Yan, as the third generation leaders of the Sima family, showed certain abilities, but they were still far from enough to the previous two generations.

He secretly reached an alliance of interests with various major families, but at the same time he lacked enough prestige to abolish the Wei Kingdom and establish a new country. What he lacked was not only courage, but also political skills and military capabilities. Shu Han repeatedly launched troops to fight the northern expedition, causing Cao Wei to lose one after another.

Whether it was Sima Yi, Sima Shi, and Sima Zhao, the two brothers were all people who could fight against the border. Cao Wei did not launch troops to attack Eastern Wu, and Western Shu was already the lucky ones for these two countries. How could they have the idea of ​​fighting the northern expeditions all year round?

Most people's views are even more pessimistic. The Sima family was able to reach an interest alliance to change dynasties, which was the capital accumulated by the previous two generations. Sima Yan not only did not increase the Sima family's prestige, but instead continued to lose the Sima family's authority.

Now, if Shu Han really sacrificed his life to the city of Chenliu, the custody Sima Yan would abandon the city and flee! Even if everyone blushed because of making such a judgment, the repeated delays in the fighter planes have been deeply engraved in his heart and cannot be erased.

Once Duke Jin continues to stay away from Xuchang, the military and civilians in the city will inevitably think that they are abandoned by the country. Even if Emperor Cao Huan of Wei is in the city, it will still be useless. Even if the people who are loyal to the Wei people, they know that the country can only rely on the Sima family to resist foreign enemies. Even if they hate it, they must accept such facts.

The possibility proposed by Lu Qin made everyone think. Think carefully that the seemingly panicked offensive of the Shu army did indeed have many suspicious points. For example, the Shu army that rushed to the periphery had already received the order to retreat. Even if Jiang Wei had an absolute advantage, he was busy killing Xuchang's live power, as if he was indifferent to the outcome of the periphery.

There are several problems on the surface, and the Shu army did not put all their efforts into it, and the Wei army could not afford it once they left the city and fought.

Before this, if the Shu army had advanced to attack Chenliu, the people of Xuchang would have to do their best to stop it. However, even if the Shu army was repelled during this battle during the day, everyone would deeply realize their current shortcomings - fighting against the Shu army that was doing their best in the field, with the existing strength of Xuchang City, there was no chance of winning!

Without a chance of winning, it means that the Shu army cannot be stopped and even lost to Xuchang.

The atmosphere in the hall was even more depressed, and everyone's faces were filled with worry.

"It is also a risky move for the Shu army to cross Xuchang to attack Chenliu. Liu Chan and Jiang Wei are in their current situation. Is it still in the uncertain world? But we must not be unprepared, can everyone have a way?"

The dull atmosphere was broken by Du Yu's mouth, which was in line with reality. Such a battle may be possible in front of the two armies, but there are other possibilities. Even with such an opportunity, it is still unknown what choice the Shu army would make after testing the Wei army's divisions.

"There are not enough new recruits to go out to fight, so the city defense training should be strengthened, so that the main force in the city can be on standby at any time."

"The morale among the army is high and the people in the city are encouraged. At this time, we should reward the three armies and inspire the people, so that our momentum reaches its peak, in preparation for a decisive battle!"

"The people of Shu are afraid of the catapults, and all the catapults are standing on the city tower to throw stones at the fastest speed and launch an attack!"

The generals were talking for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively. Whether the Shu army can be stopped is not an important matter at the moment, and doing all your strength is the top priority.

Du Yu nodded frequently and kept dispatching people to allow anything that was beneficial to Xuchang. Xuchang was the imperial capital of Cao Wei, with a large population and abundant kufu. Most of the materials withdrawn from Wancheng were within Xuchang's kufu. At this time, a large reward for the three armies and the dispersion of rice and grain celebrations were a bit waste, but the results were surprisingly good.

"There is nothing wrong with the many soldiers of Shu, but the cavalry is very difficult to deal with. I remember that there are tens of thousands of heavy armored mates in Xuchangku Mansion, and they are wearing armor to form soldiers. You can also fight in the field!"

Lu Qin had no words, but after thinking about it, he had a sudden inspiration. As the name suggests, heavy armor is a special armor, or a few layers of armor on his body to achieve the effect of heavy armor. The speed and sensitivity of heavy armor will indeed be greatly reduced, but the defense power will increase by several times.

Ten thousand heavily armored infantry formed a formation, accompanied by hand weapons, and excellent command. Fighting with cavalry in the field is naturally much better than that of ordinary infantry. Lu Qin knew very well about Xuchangku Mansion, and the sudden idea made the generals present even more happy!

Du Yu led the Xuchang soldiers and generals to prepare for the upcoming battle, waiting for the Shu army to take action. However, Ma Yan, the Jin company of Chenliu, was frowning and restless.

From holding hundreds of thousands of people in his hand to barely having less than 30,000 troops left by his side, Sima Yan was very uncomfortable. At the same time, the urgent military situation of all parties also made him unable to sit still, and his heart was so chaotic that he was like a pot of porridge.

Hulao's troops were transferred back to the periphery of Xuchang, but Shu general Qi Wannian launched troops to invade Hulao Pass, and the momentum was very fierce. Ma Long went to the southeast battlefield to wipe out the Shu army, but the news of Ma Long's first battle had not been returned, and Xuzhou was already in a hurry.

The Shu army stationed in Haixi and confronted the Wei army for a long time, but they secretly colluded with the Taishan bandits to harass the supply lines in the rear of the Wei army, causing uneasiness in Xuzhou. Some counties in Xuzhou also raised the Han flags under the repeated persuasion of the Shu Han envoys!

Seeing this, the Wei army stationed in Xuzhou was impatient and gathered 30,000 Wei troops to fight against the Shu army head-on. The Shu army in Haixi was originally less than 20,000 troops, which was considered the forces of the Wei people who defected to the Shu army in western Shanghai. Unexpectedly, through the sea boats these days, the children of Jiangnan poured into the western part of Haixi, and formed an army of 50,000!

The result is conceivable. The Wei army was defeated and retreated to Xia Pi, while the Shu army swept across other cities in Xuzhou with the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and surrendered the bandits of Mount Tai as an aid to establish a strong foundation in Xuzhou, which made the Wei army very worried.

If it weren't for the Shu Han side that had many new recruits and the Qingzhou army of Wei State went south with strong force, I'm afraid the entire Xuzhou would have fallen!

Sima You was slow to move in Hebei, and many ministers in the court complained. But now it is proved that Sima You was not worried about the situation. The Shu Han navy dominated the sea. After obtaining this transit station in Xuzhou, the Shu Han navy had no worries about supply, and actually set sail to continue northward and invaded Liaodong!

The Liaodong region is remote and cold, and it was also destroyed during the invasion of foreign races. It has recovered well now, and I don’t want to encounter war again. The Wei army in Hebei was originally in a state of being able to join the battle at the time. When Liaodong was in a hurry, Hebei’s troops could only divide their troops to rescue.

These news came almost at the same time, and Sima Yan couldn't accept it for a while. How could he not be upset?

The army previously called for is now divided into several places, which has consumed national strength. Nowadays, soldiers are being recruited everywhere, and fewer and fewer people can accept the conquest. If you join the army, you can have enough food, but your head will fall quickly. The situation of losing battles and being surrounded by enemies makes the people know that they will end up doing good.

Especially in Xuzhou, the Shu army used the abundant supplies from Haixi to attract refugees from Xuzhou to Haixi, recruiting strong men and reclaiming land. The surplus population was transported back to Jiangnan on board, and they had their own land and labor service that could support their families.

Those who do not want to leave their hometowns did not resist much for their livelihood, but obeyed the rule of Shu Han.

"Zhang Aiqing, what should I do if I do this situation!?"

Finally, when Zhang Hua was waiting for the trip, Sima Yan seemed to be circling around the hall in the hot pan. At this time, he rushed towards him, looking bitter and worried on his forehead.

Zhang Hua has not had a good rest in recent days. He needs to supervise military supplies himself, and all military and political parties have to deal with it themselves. Half of the officials in the court have been divided into Hebei. Now there are not many people left in Chenliu's army who can give him peace of mind to explain things.

With a look of fatigue and dust, Zhang Hua felt a sense of pain in his heart when he saw Sima Yan's earnest twilight, but he still cheered up and said, "What's the matter that makes Duke Jin so confused?"

"Xuzhou is in emergency, Liaodong discovered that the Shu invasion was invaded. Zhang Aiqing quickly saves the orphan!"

Sima Yan was upset at this time and was indifferent to his heart. He grabbed Zhang Hua's hand and refused to let go.
