Just as white paper could not contain the burning flames, bad news came back from around Luoyang one by one, completely completely stunned some people who had fantasies about Huangfu Song leading his army to the northern expedition and Yizhou attacking Liangguo. (_《》)

The first shocking news is: because the troops defending Liang Kingdom put all their troops near Wudu to resist the crazy attack of the 100,000 troops from Yizhou, the Hu people who broke into Yumen Pass picked up a big leak and actually fought all the way eastward to Chang'an, the Western Capital. Now the tomb of the Holy Ancestor is in danger, and the imperial capital Chang'an is seeing its loss.

This news was brought back in a panic by dignitaries and even peddlers who fled to Luoyang from near Chang'an and even peddlers in unison. Its reliability has been confirmed by the imperial spies.

So someone in the court hurriedly suggested that Huangfu Song, who was expeditioning the northern expedition, quickly cancel the original plan and immediately lead his army back to Chang'an to protect the emperor, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack and drive the rebellious Hu people back outside the pass.

Just as everyone was quarreling about this matter, the second shocking news was brought by the special envoy of Jin State from Gao Nu: Huangfu Song, who led his army to invade Shangjun of Jin State, was defeated and captured under Gao Nu City, and the Imperial Guards were wiped out. More than 34,000 soldiers were imprisoned in Diaoyin City. The court will do what will happen next!

Sixty thousand Imperial Guards were wiped out, Huangfu Song and his son were captured, and there were no soldiers near Chang'an available! This news slapped hard on the face of the ministers in the court who were still clamoring for "to resilient the country first", which made them suddenly become much more awake.

Before they could react, the third news was published in the Jin Daily: "The Han traitor Sima Yi, who led his army to invade the border, has now been wiped out more than 50,000 people, and only more than 40,000 remaining soldiers are trapped in the Di Road. The people of Liang** shared the same hatred of the enemy and are determined not to let an invader go!"

The 100,000 Yizhou army was unable to fight the Liang Kingdom, which was stationed in only 40,000 vanguard troops, and even dumplings were made! Now even Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang could not sit still.

Luoyang, which was already a little numb, then learned that a group of 20,000 troops stationed in Hedong County were all captured by the Wohu Army. Now the Wohu soldiers are rampant in Hedong and Henoi counties, Wuji, seemingly preparing to seize the Yellow River Ferry and attack Luoyang south!

Just like a person who had already lost his mind, he was suddenly cone with a needle on his butt, and the Luoyang court and the people of the whole city suddenly jumped up in pain. Because people suddenly discovered that Shangdang of Jin was so close to Luoyang, as long as he stomped his feet there, Luoyang might have to shake the earth.

The matter has come here and is far from over. Shangdang, who had been silent some time ago, published a series of news in the Jin newspaper that made the people of Jin and Liang excited, but made Luoyang at a loss.

In response to the rumor that the Taifu was plotting against the imperial court that the Taifu was plotting to murder the late emperor and hostage the two princes, the Jinbao launched a powerful counterattack. The third prince Liu Rong and the fourth prince Liu Qi personally wrote a signed article to warn those villains who deliberately provoked their relationship with the Taifu, such despicable and shameless methods would not succeed. The brothers pointed out very clearly that there were other people who murdered the late emperor, not the beloved Taifu. If the two of them had not sent their capable subordinates to rescue him, they would probably still be in the hands of the evil people, so how could they be crowned the king in the northwest?

Following the statements of the two princes, Zhang Rang, the young eunuch who had been dead for many years, stood up and spoke. He revealed the entire process of the conspiracy that happened in the Chang'an Palace, and even mentioned several key witnesses, such as Zhang Xiu, several concubines who now live in the Jin Palace. Sanshun only emphasized one point at the end, saying that the fifth prince Liu Tian was only three years old. Is he more trustworthy than the third prince who was already seven years old at that time?

Immediately afterwards, the third prince and the fourth prince issued a statement that in order not to be framed, the two of them were willing to go to Luoyang to confront the fifth brother in person, but they didn't know whether the thief who secretly controlled the fifth brother dared to let the fifth brother go to Luoyang!

After a resolute and thorough counterattack against the reason why the court attacked Jin State, the Jin Daily issued another emergency report, claiming that the 40,000 army led by Guan Yu finally met with Zhou Cang, a unit who had left the customs before, and confirmed that the Taifu Zhao Xing was now under house arrest by the Hu people in Wusun. Guan Yu and Zhou Cang were preparing to launch a large-scale military operation to rescue the Taifu back.

Guan Yu said confidently in an interview: "If the Wusun people dare to let the Taifu lose one hair, he will do nothing to wash Wusun and let 1.3 million heads from the Wusun Kingdom witness the Taifu's anger together!"

Guan Yu said this very ruthlessly. If Zhao Xing lacks a hair, he will kill all the people in Wusun State. If Zhao Xing returns to Jin and finds that the court dares to attack Jin while he is away, wouldn’t even the emperor’s head be cut off?

The situation, which originally thought that it was under control, suddenly changed completely. Once Zhao Xing returned to Jin State, he would probably set off a surging sea of ​​blood. So the worried Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang to the mansion of the Taiwei Lu Zhi to discuss countermeasures.

Liu Bei asked Lu Zhi: "Now Luoyang is in danger, I wonder if the teacher has a good plan to retreat?"

Lu Zhi replied: "There are still 80,000 soldiers stationed in the capital. Jin State is currently unable to attack. However, Huangfu Song's defeat was suddenly defeated, and Chang'an is now in dire straits. Even if the troops are dispatched from other places, they will be far away and unable to quench their near thirst for a while."

Zhuge Liang said: "The students carefully reviewed the events since the Yumen Dramatic Change, and they felt that the Jin State seemed to have been making arrangements from the beginning, and they adopted the means of suppressing the country first. They pretended to be tired and weak, which made everyone think that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, but in fact they were preparing secretly. After waiting for all forces to take action, they began to gradually close the net."

Lu Zhi thought for a moment and asked Zhuge Liang: "Even if, as Kong Ming said, Jin State had planned first this time, what exactly were they planning? Seize Chang'an, besiege Luoyang, or attack Yizhou?"

Zhuge Liang, who was as good as a god, was also asked by Lu Zhi this time. He really couldn't see through what Zhao Xing was planning to build such a big formation. Because the current situation is too strange and complicated, Zhao Xing has not yet appeared, but the northwest area has become a mess. Jin, Liang, Yizhou, the court, and the Hu people are intertwined, and it is difficult to tell who is attacking whom. If the chaos in Jizhou and Qingxu are added, it seems that everything is related to Zhao Xing, but he himself disappeared bizarrely.

Lu Zhi said: "The only way to do now is to strictly guard Luoyang and send people to Shangdang to explore the tone of the Jin State to see what they want to do."

Liu Bei then asked again: "What should we do in Chang'an? The old general Huangfu Song was captured and Chang'an City was in danger of falling. If the court stumbled on it, wouldn't it give people more excuses?"

Lu Zhi replied: "If the excited Jin State can be quickly appeased and let Huangfu Song and more than 30,000 imperial guards be released, the danger in Chang'an will be resolved."
