Chapter 63: Events

Deng Ai strode over, and from a distance, Sima Yi could feel a sense of depression coming out of Deng Ai.

A trace of gloom flashed between Sima Yi's eyebrows and asked, "Shizai, what's the matter so late?"

"Taiwei, news came from Chang'an that Guo Huai surrendered!"

"What? Guo Huai surrendered?" Sima Yi screamed in shock. It can be seen that Sima Yi was very surprised now.

After a long time, Sima Yi took a deep breath and tried hard to calm down before asking, "Is this news true?"

"It should be true. Yesterday, Liu Chan once worshipped Taizu in Luoyang, and Guo Huai was with him. I heard that Liu Chan valued Guo Huai very much, but he has not yet found out what position Guo Huai is now." Deng Ai replied.

"Hey, Guo Boji is a great talent. When the late emperor was still alive, he became the governor of Yongzhou at a young age. Now that he has surrendered to Liu Chan, will Liu Chan not value him? I'm afraid that although Guo Huai is not a high-ranking minister, it is not far from that!" Sima Yi said here, a hint of melancholy appeared on his face. A talent like Guo Huai surrendered to Liu Chan, which would be like a tiger with wings. In the future, Shu Han will be even more difficult to deal with!

Sima Yi shook his head slightly, abandoning the distracting thoughts in his heart, and then suddenly raised his head, as if he had thought of something.

"Not good!" Sima Yi suddenly exclaimed, and then quickly said: "Guo Huai is a general of my camp. He is well aware of my troops deployment in Yingchuan and Nanyang. Now that he has surrendered to the enemy, if he leads troops to attack Yingchuan, he will definitely be invincible! Shizai, we have to go back quickly, return to Xiangcheng, and deploy the defense line again, otherwise we will be unable to resist the attack of the Han army."

"Taiwei, then isn't Wancheng going to be thrown to Lu Xun?"

"When there is no way, Guo Huai surrenders to the enemy. We are too passive! Guo Huai knows too much about the deployment of our troops, so we have to re-design the defense zone immediately." Sima Yi sighed helplessly.

"Taiwei, I understand... I'll go and arrange it now." Deng Ai said and retreated.

That night, the Wei army began to mobilize quickly in the army camp, and the Wei army had already begun to prepare to withdraw from Xiangcheng.

The Wei army's abnormal movement was soon heard by Lu Xun's horse exploration.

Lu Xun had been tired for a day and was already very tired. He had already fallen asleep at this time.

"Governor! Governor wake up..."

Lu Xun slowly opened his eyes and found that the person standing beside him was General Pingrong's Infantry.

Lu Xun looked out and found that it was still dark, so he knew that Bu Zhi must have something important to look for him.

"Zishan, what's wrong? Is there something unusual about Sima Yi?"

"Governor, Sima Yi has made any moves. Now the Wei army has been mobilized."

Lu Xun, a Gulu, got up from the bed and said, "Can you see the intention of the Wei army? Are you preparing to attack or withdraw?"

"I don't know this at the end." Bu Zhi shook his head, and then asked in surprise: "Governor, now we are anxious about the war with Sima Yi, and we have not yet distinguished the advantages and disadvantages. Besides, Wancheng is a big city, so Sima Yi should not give up Wancheng!"

"Yes, if it were normal, Sima Yi would never give up Wancheng easily, but don't forget that the news we only received yesterday was that Luoyang had been captured by Liu Chan. Sima Yi was afraid that the Han army would continue to attack Yingchuan and might withdraw his troops." Lu Xun explained.

"Governor..." The voice sounded again outside the tent, and then General Song Qian walked in quickly.

"What's the matter?" Lu Xun asked again.

"Governor, I just received the news that Guo Huai had surrendered to Liu Chan." Song Qian answered.

"Oh?" Lu Xun was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed.

"It seems that Sima Yi is going to give up Wancheng! Immediately send an order to prepare for the three armies. Once Sima Yi withdraws, we will enter Wancheng." Lu Xun said.

Song Qian had just come in and didn't understand what was going on. He only heard Lu Xun say that Sima Yi was going to withdraw, so Song Qian immediately stepped forward: "Governor, the last general is willing to lead the troops to pursue him."

"Haha, Song Qian, Sima Yi is not an ordinary person. How can you not beware of our pursuit? If you pursue, you will be ambushed by Sima Yi!" Lu Xun said with a smile.

Deng Ai turned his head and looked back again, with a hint of anxiety flashing at the corner of his eyebrows.

"Shizai, do you always look back and see something?" Sima Yi asked.

"Taiwei, don't you have to send someone to cut off the rear? If Lu Xun follows us, we will definitely suffer heavy losses!"

"Hahaha..." Sima Yi suddenly laughed, and then said, "Shizai, you must know that using military forces requires a way of virtual and real, and virtual is real, and real is virtual! I have been fighting with Lu Xun for some time. Don't think that Lu Xun is just a scholar, but he was very petty when leading the troops and refused to waste one soldier easily. Now Lu Xun must have expected that we had set up an ambush on the road, so he would not send anyone to pursue him. I just did the opposite, and did not send anyone to cut off the rear, so I saved the waste of troops. The army would turn back to Yingchuan as soon as possible!"

Liaodong.

When Cao Pi ascended the throne, in order to stabilize Gongsun Gong, he appointed Gongsun Gong as the General of the Chariot and Cavalry. He was granted the title of Marquis of Pacifying Guo and at the same time led the prefect of Liaodong. However, since the Wei army has always been out of reach for Liaodong, Gongsun Gong was actually the King of Liaodong.

However, Gongsun Gong did not dare to be king. At that time, the laws and regulations of the Han Dynasty, those who are not surnamed Liu should not be king. If you do not surnamed Liu, you should be king, which is equivalent to treason. Although Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, this different surname cannot be king, and it is still applicable.

Although it cannot be called king, it does not affect the power in Gongsun Gong at all. Although Liaodong is relatively small in population, it is very large in area and no one has developed it. Especially after Gongsun Kang drove away from Goguryeo, Liaodong discovered it quickly. Now Gongsun Gong has 100,000 armor under his command, although it is not as good as the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu. Although this progress is insufficient, it is more than enough to maintain its achievements.

In Liaodong, Gongsun Gong is the sky. Fortunately, Gongsun Gong is not a cruel and bloodthirsty person. Liaodong has not been in war for so many years. The people live and work in peace and prosperity. Gongsun Gong is not very ambitious, but he is content with the status quo and stays honestly on this acre of three-point land in Liaodong, never causing any trouble.

The news of the Sun-Liu alliance attacking Wei finally reached Liaodong.

"Hahahaha... the fight in the Central Plains has started! It seems that the Cao family has no time to take care of me in Liaodong! I can enjoy ten years of peace in Liaodong!" Gongsun Gong laughed.

Although Liaodong is peaceful, this does not mean that Gongsun Gong does not have a sense of crisis, nor does it mean that Wei does not want to eat Liaodong. Over the years, Wei has not given up its infiltration and material blockade of Liaodong. Fortunately, Liaodong's natural resources are also very rich. In addition, the 100,000 elite soldiers of Liaodong in the Gongsun family are all brave and good at fighting. It is not worth the loss to win Liaodong.

Between the vast Central Plains and the sparsely populated Liaodong, both Cao Cao and Cao Pi chose the Central Plains and have always adopted a policy of appeasement towards Liaodong. However, this did not make the people of the Gongsun family careless. The heads of the Gongsun family have accepted the title of Wei while smiling, while vigorously training soldiers and expanding their military strength, which is to guard against the Wei State to attack itself.

Now that the Central Plains is in battle, and it is a three-way war, it is even more impossible for Wei State to come to cause trouble in Liaodong. Gongsun Gong doesn't have to worry about Wei State in a short time, so Gongsun Gong laughed happily.

Gongsun Gong drank the glass of wine in one go, then pushed the naked beauty in her arms to the ground, kicked it down, then picked up a whip and whipped the beauty's butt hard.

"Pan..." With a whip, a blood-red mark appeared on the woman's pink and white buttocks.

"Hahaha, shout, shout!" Gongsun Gong said, and another whip was whipped.

The woman just gritted her teeth, tears flashed in her eyes, and at the same time she pretended to be very comfortable, and she also made seductive moans.

The eunuch next to him swallowed enviously, and then retreated consciously. They all knew that when Gongsun Gong was happy, he would do something similar. Only Gongsun Gong was waving the whip and the woman were left in the hall.

Gongsun Gong once suffered a serious illness and became a castrator and a funeral. Since then, Gongsun Gong's heart has changed. To be honest, he has become a pervert and often enjoys abuse of beauties.

Becoming a eunuch is a great shame for Gongsun Gong. Gongsun Gong naturally has to find ways to hide such a thing from others. If it is spread, Gongsun Gong will be embarrassed. In order to cover up this matter, Gongsun Gong will order the selection of beauties to join Gongsun Gong's harem every year, and then specially tamed hundreds of deer. He had to drink several bowls of deer blood every day, just to cover up his eyes and ears. At the same time, eunuchs are not allowed to be by his side every time he goes to the room, because he is afraid that others will discover this secret.

Unfortunately, there is no airtight wall in the world, and Gongsun Gong's inhumane things have long been learned by these eunuchs. However, the eunuchs all know that this is Gongsun Gong's weakness, so even if everyone knows, they will pretend not to know. This is the matter of Gongsun Gong being an eunuch, and it has become a secret that everyone knows that cannot be told.

"Hahahaha..." Gongsun Gong kept waving the whip in his hand, and a crisp sound came from the hall.

In front of the door, an old eunuch looked inside with a look of disdain, and then whispered in a mosquito-like voice: "Hmph, what can you do? What kind of chariot and cavalry generals are like us, but also a castrator!"

At this moment, a messy footsteps sounded. The old eunuch looked up and Gongsun Yuan rushed in with a group of soldiers.

Leading troops into the palace made the old eunuch sensitively notice something was wrong, but the old eunuch turned into a smile and greeted him.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, you can't go in... The Marquis is..."

"Hmph, what can he do as a eunuch?" Gongsun Yuan kicked the old eunuch away and then broke into it.

Seeing Gongsun Yuan’s arrogant look, the old eunuch already knew that something was wrong. I’m afraid the palace will change today!

Thinking of this, the old eunuch fled as fast as possible and found a place to hide. If such a thing that involved the internal struggle of the Gongsun family was affected, his life would probably be unsafe.

"Bang..." The whip sounded, and Gongsun Gong waved the whip with a ferocious look on his face. At this time, Gongsun Yuan rushed in with a series of people.

"Huh... why are you here?" Gongsun Gong saw Gongsun Yuan breaking in, stopped the whip in his hand, and asked immediately.

"Uncle, long time no see, my nephew misses you a little, come and see you!" Gongsun Yuan said with a wicked smile.

"Look at me?" Gongsun Gong looked at the soldiers behind him and asked with a bad expression: "Look, why do I still lead troops? Where are the guards? Why don't you stop these soldiers?"

"Haha, uncle, I brought the soldiers here to bring some gifts to my uncle! Come on, show my gifts to my uncle!" Gongsun Yuan said sinisterly.

"Swoosh..." A black shadow flashed and landed in front of Gongsun Gong. The thing was still rolling. Gongsun Gong looked carefully and saw that it was a human head. There was still heat coming out of the wound on his neck, and blood was constantly flowing out of his seven orifices.

"Ah!" Gongsun Gong screamed. At this time, Gongsun Gong discovered that this head was the head of his guard leader.

"This, this is...you...you dare..." Gongsun Gong couldn't speak for a moment.

"Haha, uncle, you are already a castrated man, why are you still standing in the position of the prefect of Liaodong? If it is spread, the Lord of Liaodong is actually a castrator. Wouldn't it be a loss of the face of our Gongsun family? Uncle, I think you should retreat to the wise!" Gongsun Yuan had already revealed his true face at this time.

"You...you...you..." Gongsun Gong pointed at Gongsun Yuan, "you" didn't say a word for a long time, and then Gongsun Gong suddenly screamed and threw the whip in his hand at Gongsun Yuan. Then, Gongsun Gong turned around and wanted to run behind.

"Ba..." Gongsun Gong had just taken a step to the side and was immediately tripped by something. A dog ate shit and fell to the ground.

"What's wrong!" Gongsun Gong turned around and found that his feet were actually being grabbed by the woman.

"You, what are you doing? Let it go!" Gongsun Gong broke free hard, but the woman refused to let go.

"Let me go!" Gongsun Gong shouted.

"Uncle, don't bother..."

At this time, Gongsun Gong suddenly felt that the woman's strength was even greater than that of him. Then, Gongsun Gong realized that when the head flew by, he was shocked, and the woman's face did not change.

Could it be that this woman was sent by Gongsun Yuan? This idea flashed through Gongsun Gong's mind, and then, soldiers like wolves and tigers rushed over to control Gongsun Gong.

Gongsun Yuan walked up, but didn't even look at Gongsun Gong, and then sat down at the main seat in the middle.

"Hahahaha, uncle, my good uncle... This position was my father's back then. After my father died, this position should be our brother's back! Uncle, you have been here for so many years, and it's time to give it to me." Gongsun Yuan said, waved his hand: "I'll tell you that my uncle is seriously ill and that all the affairs in Liaodong will be managed by me for the time being!"

Huaiyin.

Wuqiu Jian pointed to the front and said, "Your Majesty, you are right in front. From here, the first five miles is the place where Cao Zhen stationed his grain."

Sun Quan nodded, and a hint of joy arose in his heart. Sun Quan felt that he was so close to success.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Sun Quan to lead his troops in this kind of attack on the burning of grain. However, Sun Quan recalled that during the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao personally led his troops to attack Wuchao. Sun Quan felt that he was no worse than Cao Cao. When Cao Cao dared to lead his troops to attack Wuchao, he was driven by his competitive spirit, and Sun Quan also decided to lead his troops to attack Cao Zhen's food and grass. Although Zhuge Jin and others were persuaded, Sun Quan decided to lead his troops to go there himself.

According to Sun Quan's words, Cao Cao was willing to believe in Xu You, so he had the hegemony of the Central Plains. Why don't he dare to believe Wu Qiu Jian once?

At the same time, Sun Quan also made the row and ordered people to attack Cao Zhen's side to attract Cao Zhen's attention, and he took people to burn Cao Zhen's food and grass. If he succeeded, Cao Zhen's army would inevitably be defeated, and Sun Quan could directly take Xuzhou.

First take Xuzhou, then Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and then Hebei. After occupying the Central Plains, they will return to the west to destroy Shuhan and unify the country! They will achieve unparalleled achievements. Thinking of this, Sun Quan smiled happily.

"Your Majesty, you're coming soon, it's right in front." Wu Qiu Jian's voice interrupted Sun Quan's thoughts. Wu Qiu Jian could see that Wu Qiu Jian was standing ahead and several smokes could be seen rising.
