Farmer of Shu Han

Is there any return?

Hearing Tuoba Xilu's chest-beating words, Master Sima's eyes moved back from the void and fell on Tuoba Xilu again.

Looking at the other party's confident and stupid eyes, Sima Taifu's old face, which was like a pool of stagnant water, finally showed some movement, and the corner of his mouth twitched once again.

Probably feeling that this expression was not too obvious, Master Sima sat up straighter again to show that he was sitting upright, and said with emotion:

"Master Tuoba, I haven't heard such grand words for a long time."

Then he lamented, "I am old and decrepit, and my heart is shaken when I hear the name of Thief Feng."

"I am old and declining, and I am afraid that my time is numbered. This time you and I join forces. If we can really defeat Thief Feng, the world will probably not remember me as a dead person?"

"But the young master is different. He is in his youth and full of energy. I think that Feng Thief, a famous general in the world, has never been defeated so far."

"If we are defeated by the Young Master, will the Young Master's name be powerful in China, let alone outside the Great Wall?"

"Think of the desert outside the Great Wall. No matter in the west or in the center, many tribes died at the hands of this person."

"The name of God Feng Wen made children outside the Great Wall stop crying at night when they heard it, and tribal leaders trembled in fear when they heard it. However, once this man was defeated by the young master, who in the grassland would dare to disobey him?"

As a veteran of the four dynasties of the Wei Kingdom, Sima Yi had experienced countless ups and downs. The incident between Tuoba Xilu and Tuoba Desert Khan was nothing more than drizzle to him.

Hu Yi is ignorant and simple and crude in doing things. How can the battle for reserve positions in China be so cruel and fierce?

Therefore, Sima Yi only said a few words, and Tuoba Xilu's heart was full of joy:

"Thank you, Master Taifu. The land of Hebei is the most suitable place for prairie warriors to perform. Taifu, please rest assured that as long as Feng Thief dares to step into Hebei, I will definitely let him know what a true elite knight is." ”

Sima Yi nodded, with a long-lost smile on his face. He looked at Tuoba Xilu with eyes full of kindness, as if looking at a retarded person:

"Young Master has such spirit, I really admire him. As a great master of the Wei Dynasty, I am not as courageous as the Young Master. I am ashamed, so ashamed!"

After being praised highly by the Lord of Hebei, Tuoba Xilu felt that the kind-hearted old man in front of him became more and more pleasing to the eye:

"Although Xilu is outside the Great Wall, he has already heard of Thief Feng's evil reputation. The Taifu has become an old man in planning for the country, so he attaches great importance to Thief Feng."

Want to seek the country when you are old?

You Di Yi boy comments on me being an old man and seeking the country?

After hearing this, Sima Yi felt no fluctuation in his heart and even wanted to laugh a little.

But that's fine. Having such a foolish young man who doesn't know the heights of the world may be helpful to the situation in Hebei.

Two people, an old man and a young man, one praised and the other imagined, and they talked happily.

It wasn't until the lanterns came on that Tuoba Xilu left the Taifu's Mansion still unfinished.

Although the Taifu looks old and decrepit, he still has good eyesight.

When Tuoba Xilu left with great satisfaction, he looked back at the brightly lit Taifu Mansion and commented in his heart.

Sima Yi didn't know that Tuoba Xilu had already left, but he would still comment on himself like this in his heart.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

For him, as long as he can block Feng to the west of Taihang Mountain, it is the biggest thing at hand.

If you can defeat this thief, it will be a blessing.

If this is really possible, it doesn't matter if a Di Yi boy comments or scolds him.

Just be afraid, this Tuoba Xulu is an incompetent person with great ambition but little talent.

After people sent Tuoba Xilu away, Sima Yi sat there, motionless, with a gloomy expression.

"Three days? We only communicate with each other every three days! How long has it been since I married his mother-in-law, and we still only communicate with each other once every three days!"

But seeing Sima Yi suddenly furious, he stretched out his hand and pulled on the case, sweeping everything on the case to the ground.

"I am his mother! The son raised by the girl and the pheasant..."

Taifu Sima, who had always focused on Qi-nurturing Kung Fu and kept his expression calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of his eyes, finally revealed his uncontrollable anger from a gloomy face at first.

Even slang and curse words were uttered.

Three days?

When I killed Mengda, I could travel 1,200 miles in eight days!

Not to mention the cavalry marching outside the wall.

Taifu Sima clearly remembered that Feng had crossed the desert from Liangzhou to conquer Bingzhou.

They even smoothly wiped out Xianbei in the west and destroyed Kebineng on the way.

Still in the mood to pretend to attack Qiaoshan!

And finally?

He went straight to Hedong and stabbed himself in the back of Guanzhong.

Otherwise, how could he have had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the battle in Guanzhong but had to retreat without a fight?

"Somebody come!"

"Master?"

"Immediately send people to Youzhou and let the frontier counties in Youzhou pay attention to the movement of Hu reinforcements. As soon as there is news, report it immediately without delay!"

"Here!"

Although he knew that as soon as there was news from the frontier fortress, he would definitely report to him as quickly as possible.

But for some reason, he still couldn't help but feel uneasy when Thief Feng from Taiyuan made any movement.

Where this uneasiness comes from is unknown.

They knew clearly that it was impossible for the Han army to fly over the Taihang Mountains, but when they saw Feng Thief, who had always been cunning and cunning, he actually sent out troops in an upright manner this time and attacked the various passes in the Taihang Mountains step by step.

But it made Sima Yi feel a little abnormal.

Ever since this thief came out of the mountain, there has never been a time when he didn't make some strange moves.

Never!

It can even be said that this thief's military use can be without righteousness, but it cannot be without surprises.

Not to mention only being upright.

Therefore, there must be a problem somewhere, but I haven't thought of it yet.

As soon as he thought about this, Sima Yi's old face, which was already lined with furrows, became even more wrinkled.

At this moment, a rumble of thunder came from the distance, interrupting Master Sima's thoughts.

A servant came in and wanted to close the window.

However, Sima Yi waved his hand to signal the other party to go out, then stood up from his seat, walked to the window, and looked out the window.

On an early spring night, the sky was quietly covered with a layer of dark blue like a gauze, the stars were hidden, and in the complete silence, a drizzle fell silently.

The surroundings of the lanterns have been dyed with a faint yellow halo.

From the light that shines through, you can see that the spring rain is like threads, densely intertwined in the air.

It was a rainy spring night, but Sima Yi couldn't be happy at all, and his expression even became extremely solemn.

The arrival of spring rain means the complete departure of winter and the complete melting of snow.

At the same time, it also means that the Han army is about to launch a full-scale attack.

While Sima Yi of Yecheng was anxiously waiting for Xianbei reinforcements, the governor of Shanggu County in Youzhou was also anxious.

Just today, countless barbarian cavalry appeared without any warning, and no one was even sent to say anything in advance.

The border guard almost peeed in fear when he saw the Huqi appearing all over the mountains and plains in the north.

In the early years, Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou, advocated the policy of appeasing the Hu people, so there was little pressure on the frontier.

In addition, the Han Kingdom in the west was eyeing him, so most of the soldiers from Youzhou were transferred to Guanzhong.

In the past few years, the Taifu has presided over the government affairs of Hebei and formed an alliance with Tuoba Xianbei, so that the heavy troops deployed at the Youzhou frontier fortress were almost useless.

Fortunately, he remembered in time that the Taifu had sent someone to remind Xianbei of reinforcements.

"General, what should I do?"

The guard's face was already pale, and he didn't know it was because he was frightened.

"Why are you panicking?" The guard couldn't help but show timidity to the soldiers under his command. "Let me go and take a closer look."

One sentence immediately made Xiao Bing feel like he was standing tall at the top of a mountain.

The general usually deducts military rations and drinks the soldiers' blood, but he didn't expect that he would be so generous?

"Open the door, open the door! Open the door quickly!"

"Let us in quickly!"

The sudden appearance of a large number of Hu Qi led to the emergency closure of Juyong Pass.

Hu Qi, who came in a hurry, couldn't get in and started yelling and cursing at the gate.

"Who are you?"

The guard shouted and asked.

It was just that the barbarians in the gate were making a lot of noise and yelling, and no one answered his words at all.

Seeing that the door was still not open, the impatient one even put up his bow, intending to shoot an arrow.

Seeing everything below, the guard was suddenly sweating profusely in Antai, which was suddenly warm but still cold.

The Tutor did not say that the barbarians would come this way.

If these barbarians have evil intentions and cause trouble after entering the customs, then if he dares to open and close the door, wouldn't ten heads be enough to chop him off?

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to open the door easily.

While he was sending people to the rear to report the situation, he shouted desperately to Guanxia:

"Where is your boss? Ask him to come and talk to me."

But in front of the surging barbarians, the guard's words had no effect at all.

The barbarian, whose ass seemed to be on fire, cursed at the gate for a long time. Seeing that the person above him was still unwilling to open the door, this was completely different from what the Khan had promised to himself before leaving.

But it was impossible to get them to turn back. Some people had already dispersed to both sides, as if they wanted to see if there were paths on both sides that could pass.

"Third Prince, this way, this way..."

Just when the barbarians couldn't help but want to attack the city pass, a group of people finally escorted the somewhat embarrassed Tuoba Chuo to the pass.

"I am Tuoba Chuo, the third son of Tuoba Xianbei Great Khan. At the invitation of Sima Taifu, the Lord of Hebei, I am leading my troops to reinforce your country."

After revealing his identity, Tuoba Chuo asked the Nanxia guard on the city to quickly open the city gate.

"Prince Tuoba, please show me your token!"

Tuoba Chuo then remembered that his master had given him a token before leaving.

He reached into his arms, took out the token from the place closest to his body, and raised it to signal.

A basket was quickly hung from the city gate. Tuoba Chuo knew what it meant and put the token into the basket.

Sure enough, not long after, the heavy city gate was finally opened.

The barbarians who had been waiting impatiently rushed to close the door after Tuoba Chuo and others entered.

Some people even got beaten up because of it.

Tuoba Chuo, who had just entered the closed door, was a little frightened. Hearing the sound of fighting coming from behind, he turned around and couldn't help but feel frightened and angry:

"What are you trying to grab?! Before the pursuers arrived, I messed up my position first."

After yelling and cursing a few times, he turned his horse's head, raised his whip, and whipped it at the barbarians without thinking.

Seeing their master's behavior, the followers and guards also rushed forward.

Only then did a passage emerge from the chaotic Guancheng Gate.

With Tuoba Chuo's personal suppression, the barbarians gradually calmed down and passed the pass in an orderly manner.

However, the guard general looked at the chaos caused by the barbarians for a moment.

Are these people really the Xianbei reinforcements that the Tutor mentioned?

Although Hu Yi had always been rude, such chaos made the guard inexplicably worried.

No matter how ignorant he is, he still knows that there is no rule without rules.

Not to mention that these people will face the fierce Han army in the future.

However, these thoughts only flashed through his mind.

It is not his turn to worry about national affairs.

Even why the Xianbei reinforcements came unexpectedly is not something that a mere garrison commander can ask.

What he needs to do now is to report the matter as soon as possible and cooperate with the government to settle these reinforcements according to the previous instructions of the Taifu.

——

On February 6, the tenth year of Yanxi, the first Wei army fort in Jingxing was breached.

On February 10, the Han army breached the second fort.

On February 15, the third fort was breached...

As a semi-mountain division, the Wudang army's combat effectiveness in the mountains is indeed stronger than that of other Han armies.

In addition, among the eight passes of Taihang, Jingxing is the best place to march.

Therefore, although the attack launched by Jingxing is the slowest, the progress is the fastest.

And the battle is also the most intense.

Then the news of the victory of the capture of the fort was sent to Chang'an by Feng Da Sima as a victory report.

When the first victory report was sent to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, all the civil and military officials in the court thought that the Grand Sima had just officially marched and won a great victory, and they all said that he was worthy of being the invincible Grand Sima of the Han Dynasty.

Who would have thought that when the victory report spread, it was just a small fort on Jingxing that was captured.

However, considering Feng's great military exploits and notoriety, this man was the first general of the Han Dynasty.

And this was also a good omen for the beginning of the spring of the tenth year of Yanxi.

So everyone tacitly did not comment on Feng's fuss.

Who would have thought that Feng Da Sima seemed to be addicted to sending victory reports. After a few days, he sent the second one, and then the third one...

As the number of times increased, many people couldn't help but mutter in their hearts:

What is the Grand Sima doing?

Could it be that he wants to ask for credit and reward?

"What does this mean?"

Not only did the court officials mutter in their hearts, even Adou felt that his brother-in-law was a little abnormal.

He held a thick stack of victory reports in his hand, and he ran from Weiyang Palace to Gui Palace to see the queen without caring about the long distance.

The queen flipped through the victory reports handed over by the emperor, and then her expression was also a little surprised.

It seemed that she was also surprised by Feng Da Sima's move.

After a little thought, she tentatively guessed:

"Is it possible that he is learning from Wang Jian and Xiao He?"

Wang Jian led 600,000 Qin troops to destroy Chu, and on the way he asked the King of Qin to reward him with good fields, beautiful houses, gardens and ponds, etc., in order to dispel the King of Qin's concerns about him.

In order to dispel Emperor Gaozu's suspicion of him, Xiao He also bought more land and borrowed money at a low price to defile himself.

Although the Wei Kingdom has not been destroyed now, as long as Hebei is determined, the remnants of the bandits in Guandong are not a concern.

Feng Yong had already made great achievements, and he was in his prime. He was also the most important minister in the court, and he was outstanding in both civil and military affairs.

If we really look at the relationship between monarchs and ministers in history, the queen's guess is not unreasonable.

Although Adou was a little mediocre in talent, he was not an unlearned person.

Before Liu Bei died, he also left a will, asking the prime minister to urge the prince to read more on his behalf.

So when the queen said this, Adou understood her meaning.

He thought about it for a while, hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head:

"Otherwise, Mingwen is a man of temperament, and this is not his style. And I have known Mingwen for more than 20 years. How can I regard it as a general monarch-minister relationship? It's not right, it's not right!"

Queen:...

I'm so tired!

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Adou naturally couldn't guess, but it didn't matter. He just needed to express his attitude:

"The army sent a good report, and the court would naturally reward them. Why not send someone to reward them?"

Attacking a fortress and capturing 180 people is not a merit.

It's just that such merit is not enough to be sent to the emperor.

Such small merits are mostly recorded by the military officers first, and then accumulated.

When enough merits are accumulated, they will be calculated together.

Since the Grand Marshal is making such a fuss, I think there must be some deep meaning.

Why not follow the rules and send someone to reward them, and then take the opportunity to ask.
