Chapter 67 The eve of the sixth quarter

When the song spread to Nanyang, the Han army was all terrified and their morale plummeted.The Han army was full of battles and calculations, and at most they could only gather 100,000 troops, and they were scattered in Nanyang and Yingchuan. How could they resist a million officers and soldiers?In desperation, the leaders of the Green Forest Army who once abandoned Liu Yan had to ask Liu Yan to preside over the overall situation again, brother Yan, this time it is still up to you.Liu Yan regained the military command, and his spirit was lifted. He immediately mobilized all the troops of the Han army in Nanyang and stepped up the attack on Wancheng.Then, Liu Yan ordered the generals of the Han army in Yingchuan to speed up the attack on the city and seize the territory. Before the arrival of the army of officers and soldiers, they should try their best to get as much territory as possible and recruit more soldiers, so as to lengthen the front line.And the most important decision Liu Yan made was to ask Chimei for help.

Liu Yan personally edited a letter, pleading for the righteousness of the same enemy and the coldness of the lips and teeth, and asked the red eyebrows to attack Nanyang, or join forces with the Han army, or attack the rear of Wangyi.The envoy rushed to Shandong with great speed, day and night without rest. The red-browed leader got the book and started discussing it with a smile.Wang Yi withdrew the officers and soldiers from Qingxu Erzhou, and the red eyebrows became the masters of Qingxu Erzhou.After the leader of Chimei finished his plan, he wrote back to Liu Yan.The leaders were all illiterate, but they had their own way. Fan Chong picked up a pen, dyed and painted, and after a long time, the silk script was completed and delivered to the messenger.The messenger looked at it, but it was a painting, in which a beautiful woman was scratching her head and posing in front of the mirror.The envoy was puzzled, and said: "Please tell me clearly, general." Fan Chong laughed triumphantly and said, "If you return with the book like this, there must be someone in the Han army who can understand."

The envoys rode their horses with whips, day and night, and then ran back to the headquarters of the Han army in Nanyang to hand over the book to Liu Yan.When Liu Yan saw it, his face turned livid, and he threw the book on the ground viciously.The leaders of the Han army picked up the book and looked at the beauty on the book, wondering what the red eyebrows meant.So it was discussed: "There are beauties in the north, who are peerless and independent. When you look at the city, you look at the country. Could it be that the woman in this painting is this beauty? But why did Chimei draw a beauty for us? Painting cakes You can still satisfy your hunger, so what's the point of painting a beautiful woman?"

"Zhuangzi said: There are gods and men living in the mountain of Miao Gushe. Her skin is like ice and snow, and she is as graceful as a virgin. The woman in the painting may be a god and man. Could it be that the red eyebrows have to use gods and men to protect us?" Seeing that the leaders were chattering endlessly, Liu Yan took a few pictures angrily and said loudly: "The beauty looks in the mirror and sees that she is too busy to take care of herself. It is clear that the red eyebrows are unwilling to send troops to help. This is the plan for now." We can only rely on ourselves!" Hearing that Chimei refused to send troops, the leaders scolded Chimei in despair, and then sighed, for the upcoming unpredictable fate.

Besides, Wang Yi sits in Luoyang and waits quietly for the soldiers from the prefectures and counties to gather.Yan You intended to fight quickly and remonstrated: "The Han army heard about the large gathering of officers and soldiers. Instead of retreating to protect Nanyang, they stepped up to attack the city at Yingchuan. Obviously, they wanted to extend the front line and use Yingchuan as a barrier for Nanyang. If so, then The Han army in Nanyang must be unprepared. You can choose 10,000 elite soldiers to travel the Luowan Ancient Road, cross Yique Mountain and Lu Mountain, pass through Sanya Road, cross a hundred mountains, divide waters, pass through Luyang Pass, and cross the Ya River. It will take only ten days. Then you can go straight to the bottom of Wancheng. The Han army has been besieging Wancheng for a hundred days, and they can't attack for a long time. , then the Nanyang Han army will inevitably disintegrate. Now that Nanyang is flat, the remaining Han army in Yingchuan will not be a worry. Our army will go all the way from Nanyang to the north, and all the way to the east from Luoyang. We will meet with the enemy on both sides, and the Yingchuan Han army will die without a place.”

Yan You's plan was similar to Wei Yan's plan to attack Chang'an from Ziwu Valley in the later Three Kingdoms. However, Wang Yi, like Zhuge Liang, also felt that this plan was too dangerous and not a perfect strategy, so he would not adopt it.Wang Yidao: "The ancient road of Luowan, steep mountains, dangerous valleys, and abandoned for several generations, is even more unfeasible. This is a dangerous strategy, and success or failure is uncertain. It is better to go east to Luoyang and follow the safe and smooth road. Everything will be overcome. No worries." Yan You refused to be reconciled, and remonstrated: "Da Sikong is good at using dangerous soldiers. He returned to his teacher to rescue Chang'an back then. He traveled day and night, thousands of miles away, and arrived in five days. How fast is it? Now why don't you repeat the old tricks and perform miracles again? "

Wang Yi shook his head and said, "One moment and another moment. In the past, saving Chang'an was like putting out a fire, and we had to take risks. Now suppressing rebels is like sweeping away, and we must seek stability." Yan You's plan was not followed. Half a month later, there was a large gathering of state and county soldiers, with 420,000 people scheduled to meet.At this time, Wang Xing also came late from Chang'an, and the car that accompanied him was full of beauties.Wang Yi was furious and reprimanded: "Women are not allowed to join the army. Send them back to Chang'an immediately."

Wang Xing had also been warned by his father, Wang Mang, that it would be better not to provoke Wang Yi, but now that he arrived in Luoyang, before he had time to provoke Wang Yi, Wang Yi provoked him first.Wang Xing looked left and right, hoping that someone would jump out to give him courage, but when Wang Yi got angry, who would dare to move!Wang Xing's face was pale, he mustered up his courage, hugged the woman and said: "I want a woman, I can't sleep without a woman." Wang Yi's expression became more and more stern. Just looking at Wang Xing's appearance, he was just like a little Wang Mang. No wonder he was liked by Wang Mang.Wang Yi scolded angrily: "Your Majesty named you General Protector, and the honor of official rank is only under me. Since you are General Protector, you should be an example for the soldiers, but you are obsessed with women. Are you ashamed?"

Wang Xingbei felt aggrieved, and muttered: "Now you are scolding me because you don't understand me yet. When you understand me later, you will definitely hit me." Wang Yi was choked up by Wang Xing for a moment and had nothing to say, he just stared at Wang Xing, Wang Xing was so stared at that his heart was terrified, he began to move his legs secretly, ready to turn around and run away at any time.However, Wang Yi suddenly smiled, and this smile seemed to be borrowed from the baby's face, it was so pure and outrageous.Wang Xing became more and more uneasy, and subconsciously hugged the beauty in his arms even tighter.Wang Yi smiled and asked, "Do you like drinking?" Wang Xing nodded swiftly, suddenly felt that he might be scolded again, and quickly shook his head again.Wang Yi said with a smile: "From now on, the alcoholic woman will take care of enough, do you think so?" Wang Xing was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Uncle, for your kindness."

Although Wang Yi and Wang Xing met for the first time, after a few words, they already knew that Wang Xing was definitely not a material for success, so they didn't bother to waste any more words, and simply let Wang Xing live and dream in the gentle country, just don't make trouble . At the beginning of May, the officers and soldiers officially set out to Yingchuan, covering the sky and covering the sun, stretching for hundreds of miles, and the abundance of chariots, armored soldiers and horses has never been seen since ancient times.At this time, Wang Yi was the most powerful person on earth, and under his command was the most powerful army in history.Like a long knife, not eager to make a wound; like lips, not eager to kiss right away.Wang Yishi Shiran marched, spreading a terrifying atmosphere all the way. He regarded himself as a dark cloud, covering the sky; he regarded himself as a nightmare, crying ghosts and howling wolves.
