In the Tokyo Guzi Gate, three riders were racing from the avenue in the shape of a finished character, and they shouted loudly as soon as they rode away: "Doway, dodge!" There are really few such arrogant situations on the streets of Tokyo.

One of them was wearing armor and three red flags on his back. The word was written on each side. It was connected: urgent! urgent! urgent! The man ran around and shouted: "Good news, good news! Guo Shao, the vanguard of the Western Expedition Army, won 10,000 people from the Shu army in ten days...good news..."

Countless people and passers-by stopped to watch and listen to the news. The so-called military and national affairs are now known to everyone in the blink of an eye. Of course, there is no harm in such good news.

Prime Minister Wang Pu was on the way straight, and heard the sound of horse hooves and shouts, and asked people to let the official sedan chair go to the side of the road. The prime minister rarely cares about such urgent reports, and he was not in the mood to care about the high and low levels, and he was not in the mood to care about a few soldiers. Instead, he was in a good mood and walked out of the sedan chair, looking at the running horse with interest, with a sense of comfort.

Xiang Xun and Guo Shao were both recommended by Wang Pu. Being prime ministers, recommending talents, and recommending the right talents is a matter of duty.

...

Outside the mighty city, Guo Shao was looking northeast in front of the central army's tent, and a large ball of yellow dust in the air. A unit of Fengxiang's army was about to arrive.

The Second Army of General Du Yu Hou rode a horse to the tent, rolled over and dismounted, followed Guo Shao's gaze, walked over and said, "Wang Laojieshuai is really sure to win. When we fight almost the same, we will pick up the Vigor City. There are not many defenders left in this city, and there are no reinforcements outside. It can even destroy the Shu army by surrounding the attacks and depletions on all sides. It is a foregone conclusion to conquer the Vigor City."

Guo Shao said casually: "We have gnawed the meat outside, why don't we leave a few bones for others?"

"There is oil in the bones." said the general.

Guo Shao thought a little about the words of his generals and felt that the most valuable thing in the oil and water of the Weiwu City was food. Military towns like this would definitely stockpile more than half a year of food and grass to avoid being surrounded and destroyed without attacking.

He said, "How much food can a person carry? Can everyone carry it back to Tokyo? If some food is fine?"

At this moment, Li Chuyun also walked towards the big tent. When he heard what the two said, he smiled and said, "Now Wang Jieshuai won't say that his lord underestimates the enemy and advances rashly."

Guo Shao thought to himself: It’s just good luck. Whether the troops in Tangcang Town can be quickly eliminated, and whether 20,000 hu of grain can be preserved, there are countless possibilities in these two links.

He said quietly: "Wang Jieshuai is seeking stability, but he is still very experienced in deploying the overall situation of the battle. He will not draw pictures like me, but he has a clear understanding of the mountains and rivers. Let us march into Guzhen, this is a bloody trick."

From Weiwu City to the south along Chencang Road, Fengzhou is the southwest. Fengzhou goes west and is no longer in the main mountain range of the Qinling Mountains. The road is flat, and Guzhen is dozens of miles to the west; Chengzhou is the west.

Among them, Guzhen is a military important place, because Qingniling is forty miles south; Qingniling is a key place for the Shu army to reinforce the north from the hinterland, and it is the throat of the Shu Road. If Guzhen is occupied, you can easily threaten the reinforcements coming from Qingniling; if you pinch the throat of Shu Road, Qin and Feng have no hope of reinforcements.

Guo Shao turned around and said to his generals: "The First Army handed over defense in Tangcang Town. This time the Second Army took the lead. When the Fengxiang Army arrived, they could set off and the entire army approached Fengzhou City! If you find that the Shu army left the city, you will form a formation first and wait for the First Army to follow... Pay attention to sending more scouts."

The general clasped his fists and said, "I'll get the order."

Guo Shao looked at the Vigor City Tower for a while, remembering Wang Huan, the mighty Jiedushi who did not allow him to shoot him a few days ago. At this moment, the Vigor City was full of Zhou troops, and they were swaggering by their noses. I wonder how Wang Huan felt when he was watching this situation?

The Fengxiang Army general led the way to the fortification camp and handed over the defense. Guo Shao handed over the fortifications of the Weiwu City to the hands of the Fengxiang Army... When the large army behind came from the road, Guo Shao saw many ladders with his own eyes and thought to himself: It turned out that the veteran Wang Jing was sieging the city by climbing the wall.

In the afternoon, Wang Zhang and Luo Yan's Ring troops also came from the northeast valley, and Guo Shao and most of the First Army continued to march along the Shu Road.

When he arrived in Fengzhou, he saw that the city was larger than the mighty city, but the Shu army stayed in the door and seemed to be planning to defend it. Guo Shao followed Li Chuyun's suggestion and left more than 2,000 people from the Second Army and a group of civilians who followed him, and also built a layer of earth walls and barriers outside Fengzhou, so that the Shu army could not come out inside. He led the seventh commander of the First Army to approach Guzhen without stopping.

Before the army arrived, the Zhou army scout had just arrived near Guzhen and saw a team of ten cavalry coming from Chengzhou.

The scout of Zhou's army did not understand it, of course he didn't know that there was a big figure in the small group. One of them was not someone else, but Han Jixun, the governor of the Xiongwu Jie in Qinzhou! He controlled Longyou and might threaten the Xiongwu Army in Guanzhong at any time. At this time, the chief general only led ten cavalry to run wildly.

The Qin Feng and Shu army surrendered from the Central Plains dynasty. The armor was not much different from that of the Zhou army. It was really hard to distinguish if it was far away from the belly-bearing pattern on their waists. However, the armor of the Zhou army's imperial guards was not that bloated, and the helmets were different. They could tell if they were a little closer.

Han Jixun recognized him as the scout of the Zhou army and couldn't help but sigh: "If we left a little late, we wouldn't be able to leave! The Zhou army was too fast, so it had already reached Guzhen?"

The entourage cursed: "Wang Huan, the governor of Fengzhou's powerful martial arts, lost most of the powerful army in ten days! When Fengzhou Guzhen was lost, the road was gone. Who should we rely on to save it in Qinzhou?"

Han Jixun said: "The main reason is that he lost the garrison in Tangcang Town. I heard that the Zhou army vanguard was called Guo Shao, and this person is extraordinary... Tangcang Town Army left Huanghua Valley, and Guo Shao could take the lead in setting up an ambush to Tangcang Town? I am not only fast, but also very good at the timing!"

The group rushed to Qingniling, and then breathed a sigh of relief. They changed their horses in the inn and then headed straight to Chengdu.

...The one who moved faster than Han Jixun was Zhao Jizha, who had arrived in Chengdu not long after. The Shu army escorted him ran away halfway. He ran too fast and his staff were dispersed. Zhao Jizha rode alone to Chengdu.

Because no one took care of him, he was dirty and in a mess. Such a man was questioned on a horse and was questioned at various inns and city gates. Officials everywhere knew that it was the emperor's personal military commander who had been appointed as the emperor, who had returned alone. For a moment, rumors spread. People thought that the Zhou army was about to attack Chengdu. Zhao Jizha walked all the way, which made the officials and people all the way panic.

As soon as he walked to the city gate, he saw a eunuch and a team of soldiers waiting there. The eunuch said, "The emperor wants to see you, come with our family."

Zhao Jizha said: "It's too rude to face the saint like this. Let me go home and change my clothes."

The eunuch said coldly: "You are so anxious. Sometimes you can change your clothes? Is it important to have a military and national affairs, or is it important to be etiquette? Let's go!"

Zhao Jizha had no choice but to go to the palace in a mess. When he walked to the front of the hall, he saw the guards and ministers inside, and the palace ladders all looked at each other. He walked in with his head down and dejectedly, and hurriedly fell on His Highness. There was a person sitting on the throne far away. How dare he look?

"My dear, what happened and what happened in front of you? Let you look like this?" a voice said anxiously.

Zhao Jizha's mind was blank, and he lay on the floor tiles without saying a word, and he really didn't know how to say it. A minister said angrily: "Envoy Zhao, the emperor asks you!"

"I..." Zhao Jizha said anxiously, "I don't know."

The person who just called her beloved suddenly changed his tone: "I sent you to inspect Qin, Feng, didn't you go?"

"Go... I'm going." Zhao Jizha felt the emperor's anger and began to tremble in fear.

The majestic voice said again: "Then you ran back like this, Qin, Feng has lost it?"

"I don't know, I really don't know!" Zhao Jizha cried.

"Bad!" the voice cursed, "Come here..."

At this moment, a minister hurriedly knelt down and asked, "The emperor calmed down. The envoy Zhao was insulted by his mission, but he just went to inspect the defense and did not command the Northern Army. He would not be punished until he died... The emperor was kind."

"Get out! Get out!" The voice cursed, throwing away the previous dignity and calm tone.

After hearing this, Zhao Jizha knelt on the ground and moved backwards quickly towards the palace gate. This action is simply difficult. It is not easy to walk on kneeling and kneeling. He can still move backwards and quickly.

He suddenly felt secretly glad that when he was in Qinzhou, Fengzhou, he saw Han Jixun and Wang Huan's soldiers and many generals, so he planned to return to Chengdu and recommend himself to become the head coach again! Fortunately, the Zhou army came quickly, otherwise he would have been the head coach and could he keep his head if he was defeated?

At this moment, behind the curtained door on the side of the throne, a graceful shadow gently walked away from the door.

...A few days later, Wang Zhaoyuan, an official of the Privy Council who was deploying troops on Shannan West Road, urgently reported to Chengdu. The Emperor of Shu finally understood what was happening before.

Wang Zhaoyuan named himself Wolong and often told people that he was Zhuge Kongming today and had always been ambitious. In his report, he roughly explained Qin Feng's matter, which was many times stronger than Zhao Jizha who didn't know anything about him.

The Zhou army headed south along Tangcang Road and had already moved to Guzhen, but Qin and Feng were not lost. Wang Zhaoyuan did not think this was a bad thing, but instead thought it was a great opportunity for counterattack. He asked Chengdu to increase troops and asked himself to be the leader of the Northern Route Army.

The strategy is to encircle and annihilate the Zhou army, which was alone and deeply in deep, then divide the troops into two groups, attack Guanzhong from Qinzhou and Sanguan on both sides, first take Fengxiang, then occupy Guanzhong and force Tongguan, then advance can attack and retreat and defend; meet the Southern Tang and Northern Han on three sides, first divide the Central Plains...

At this moment, I suddenly heard that the envoy of Nanping came to see him. I first submitted a letter to the state. The envoy of Nanping persuaded the emperor of Shu to give up his title of emperor and surrender to the Zhou Dynasty, and then the crisis could be resolved.

Wang Zhaoyuan's view was very optimistic; but Nanping's attitude seemed to be about to perish. The two sides had completely opposite attitudes.
