Wudu, inside the meeting hall
"Your Majesty, General Dong Yue has missed Cao's army and arrived at Huining successfully. Cao Cao's army also set off from Meowu early this morning and is expected to arrive before tomorrow." Yang Ang replied.
"Marquis Wen, please inform Brother Beigong immediately to launch an attack on Han Sui early tomorrow morning! By the way, send someone to deliver a letter to Ma Chao!"
After saying that, Xu Shu did not shy away from Li Wenhou. He picked up the pen and started writing. Li Wenhou turned his eyes away from the paper and was shocked!
'Long County? ! What's going on there? 'Li Wenhou was shocked in his heart!
When Xu Shu finished writing, Marquis Li Wen took the letter and said, "Marquis Wen has been waiting for a long time, so I will go there in person! Marquis Wen will definitely bring your letter to me!"
Xu Shu nodded, then looked at Yang Ang and asked, "How is General Xu Rong doing?"
"The latest battle report has not been received, but when Li Jue's army was already exhausted after many days of fighting, General Xu Rong took 50,000 elite troops by surprise, so the victory should be easy!"
Ever since he got the news that Li Jue had retreated and Lu Bu was pursuing him, Xu Shu had expected to encounter this situation! Xu Shu even concluded based on his own inference that if Li Jue set up an ambush, he would most likely choose the Yuzhong area!
Although Cao Cao's troops were pressing down on the territory at this moment, Xu Shu had no choice but to send troops! Firstly, in order to appease the Liangzhou faction headed by Xu Rong, and secondly, although the Awakening of the World Hengyan did not come out until more than a thousand years later, Xu Shu naturally understood the principle of killing a snake and leaving oneself in harm's way, so Li Jue must be killed in one fell swoop. wipe out.
"I hope Xu Rong can return before Cao's army arrives, but... we still need to make two preparations. How many soldiers are there in the city?"
"I have about five thousand defenders here!" Yang Ang replied.
"General Liao, how many people are there with you?" Xu Shu turned to look at Liao Hua and asked.
"Your Majesty, General Zang Bazang and I have about 2,000 fighting soldiers! There are also 4,000 wounded soldiers who are being treated!"
Hearing this, Xu Shu was stunned and asked in confusion: "I remember that when you came back, you had less than a thousand soldiers to fight, but you cured more than a thousand people in just two days?"
Liao Hua first clasped his fists towards the south and said: "Fortunately, my lord has great blessings. When he returned a few days ago, he met the miracle doctor Hua Tuo. Seeing that we and others were suffering from many injuries, he took the initiative to lead his disciples back to Wudu with us! It is precisely because of his medical skills that so many brothers have saved their lives!"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Where is Divine Doctor Hua now? Take me to visit him quickly!"
Soon, Xu Shu and others, led by Liao Hua, arrived at the 'Wudu Central Hospital' that He Sian asked to build and named it himself! ', and met Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor who has been passed down through the ages!
Before they could exchange a few words, there was a commotion outside the door. Soon someone hurriedly carried a few people in on stretchers. Looking closely, lying at the front was Lu Bu's general Cheng Lian, followed closely by Hua Hua. Xiong, both of them were unconscious at this time!
Seeing this, Hua Tuo ignored Xu Shu and others. After a brief inspection, he ordered people to carry the group into the Wujun Room (PS: It is worth mentioning here that the so-called Wujun Room is the sterile room in later generations! Once here, According to the current level, it is impossible to achieve sterility. Secondly, there is no such thing as sterility in this era. To avoid trouble, He Sian used the homophony of "jun" instead, which means that even if the king comes here, he must follow the order of the severity of the injury. Treatment in order!), Xu Shu and others wanted to follow but were severely stopped by Hua Tuo, so they had to give up.
At dusk, after a busy day, Xu Shu changed his calmness during the day and walked alone in the courtyard of his home. From time to time, he fixed his gaze on the southern horizon, looking very anxious.
A few days ago, Xu Shu had moved all his family members and most of the people in the city to Hanzhong. Of course, there were still some people who were unwilling to leave and still chose to stay in Wudu, including his wife.
Calculating time, Yizhou should have taken action a few days ago... Whether there will be a chance to win the world in the future should still be settled. In fact, even if Xu Shu withdraws from Wudu at this moment, relying on the danger of Hanzhong, he can completely resist Cao Cao's army, but if so, his many years of planning for Liangzhou will be in vain...
It's just that there hasn't been any news about Yizhou so far, which makes Xu Shu quite restless!
'Mr. Wenhe, Wen's first son, Zilong, filial father (Gao Shun), my lord is entrusting you. I will definitely live up to my high expectations and guard my lord's inheritance until you win the victory and return in triumph! '
Although he felt uneasy, after all, there was a tough battle to be fought tomorrow, so Xu Shu forced himself to rest for more than two hours. As soon as it got light the next day, Xu Shu washed and changed clothes, ate some food, and came to the meeting hall to wait for the news. .
When the war came, it didn't take long for the other generals to arrive in advance. About half an hour later, the scouts who were responsible for inquiring about the news hurried into the hall. Seeing his panicked movements, Xu Shu's heart sank. Could it be that something happened in Yizhou? !
In the depressing atmosphere, two shocking news came. Although they were not related to Yizhou, they were enough to make everyone's hearts rise in their throats.
Cao Cao's army was originally expected to arrive this evening, but for some reason they set off overnight and were expected to arrive in Wudu in an hour! Although this news was unexpected, it was still expected by everyone. However, the second news was shocking, and it also explained why Cao Cao was so eager to attack Wudu.
In the name of avenging Liu Yu, Yuan Shao brazenly raised troops to conquer Gongsun Zan. At the same time, he also issued a revolt ordering all the princes to jointly attack Cao Cao.
The general meaning of the petition against rebellion is that in the second year of Zhenghe (91 BC), Prime Minister Gongsun He's son Gongsun Jingsheng was accused of using witchcraft to curse Emperor Wu and committed adultery with Princess Yangshi. Gongsun He and his son were imprisoned. And put to death! Princess Zhuyi, Princess Yangshi, and Wei Qing's son Changping Houwei were all executed. Known as the plague of witchcraft in history!
The remaining descendants of Gongsun He hated the Han Dynasty and waited for an opportunity to retaliate! In the 17th year of Jianwu (AD 41), Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was trying to revive the Han Dynasty. His descendants used witchcraft again, causing the then Queen Guo Shengtong to be deposed innocently, and Prince Liu Jiang to be directly killed. Demoted to King of East China Sea. Now more than 150 years have passed. In order to carry out his ancestor's will, Gongsun Zan, Gongsun He's descendant, not only innocently killed Liu Yu, the descendant of Liu Jiang with the purest blood in the Han Dynasty, but also supported the pseudo-emperor supported by Cao Cao.
For this reason, Yuan Shao raised righteous soldiers to attack Gongsun Zan on the grounds of supporting justice and killing traitors. He also claimed that Liu He, son of Liu Yu, was the true orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. He called on all princes to jointly attack the false emperor supported by Cao Cao and let Liu He ascend to Dabao. Give the Han Dynasty a clear picture!
And Yuan Shao's move is not without basis!
Yuan Shao claimed that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu had entrusted him with a dream two days ago, saying that the current decline of the Han Dynasty was all due to the witchcraft used by the Gongsun family. The prince was deposed for no reason, which destroyed the energy of the dragon vein.
And if you want to save this situation, you can only let the descendants of Liu Jiang's lineage return to the Ninth Five-Year Plan to regain the dragon spirit and uphold the glory of the Han Dynasty! For this reason, it was also specially stated that the so-called jade seal in the hands of the emperor is a forgery, and the real jade seal is buried in Panlong Mountain next to Ye City!
It is said that Yuan Shao was dubious when he woke up and immediately sent people to investigate. However, he actually found the Jade Seal of the Kingdom and brought it back! Only then did he brazenly send troops to Gongsun Zan and write this message!
