In the seventh year of Emperor Wu's Yuanfeng reign, Emperor Xiaowu ordered Sima Qian and others to "discuss the creation of the Han calendar" and officially changed the seventh year of Yuanfeng period to the first year of Taichu, so the new calendar was called the "Taichu calendar".
At the same time, the twenty-four solar terms were officially included in the Taichu Calendar.
As hundreds of years go by, Taichu Calendar often appears with such a sentence.
It begins with heavy snow, occurs at the winter solstice, is born during the mild cold, flourishes at the beginning of spring, is weaker than the rain, and declines with the Waking of Insects...
At the end of November in the second year of Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty.
Xu Huang had been in a daze looking at the Han army camp in front of him countless times. Also in a daze with Xu Huang was Cao Zhang, King of Cao Wei Rencheng, who had appeared on the other side.
Since ten days ago, this camp, which was originally located under Wancheng City, has been moving in front of him step by step day by day.
Until one day, Xu Huang discovered that the camp was less than three feet away from him...
Three feet... This was the distance when he faced Guan Yu. He used the distance of less than three feet to suppress Guan Yu from leaving the camp, suppressing the morale that had shocked China.
But today, this distance has become the distance between him and the little guy that he doesn't want to admit.
On that day, Xu Huang rushed into Wang Ping's camp with full of anger. Thousands of Cao's troops fought madly and set the camp on fire, causing Wang Ping to retreat directly into Wancheng.
But three days later, he made a comeback again, and the banner in his camp that originally read "The Great Han's Fake Lieutenant King" also became "The Great Han's Fake Lieutenant King".
Is this giving me a promotion?
Xu Huang couldn't understand how Liu Chan dared to promote this guy who had repeatedly failed in battles. Didn't he understand what clear rewards and punishments meant?
For this reason, Xu Huang attacked Wang Ping's camp again.
But this time Wang Ping's camp was obviously more primitive than before, but Xu Huang's attack was even more obscure. In the end...Xu Huang still won.
But Wang Ping escaped unscathed.
It was at this moment that Xu Huang finally discovered something unusual about Wang Ping.
"This kid... is so decisive and plain..."
Xu Huang finally discovered that it was easy for him to defeat Wang Ping. Although Wang Ping had changed a lot in the past half month, it was still not that difficult for him to defeat Wang Ping.
But Wang Ping seems to have a talent that can explode in desperate situations.
No matter what kind of environment he is in, he can make the right choice at the critical moment, then minimize the loss and protect the evacuation of the army.
Once...twice...until many times later, Xu Huang finally knew that this was not a fluke, it was this guy's ability.
Moreover, after more than half a month of fighting, Xu Huang has been completely hindered by Wang Ping, because not only Xu Shang can no longer stop Wang Ping, but also the two veteran generals Xu Shang and Lu Jian combined.
He was also defeated by Wang Ping.
The guy who was ridiculed by them at the beginning actually grew to this point after half a month of crazy fighting.
Unless Xu Huang himself led more than half of the troops to charge, otherwise Wang Ping would definitely cause some trouble for Xu Huang at the critical moment.
This situation made Cao Zhang on the other side very angry, so he directly led his troops to attack Wang Ping several times, with extraordinary results.
But in the blink of an eye, this guy set up camp again, and then started a confrontation with Cao Zhang, and kept changing his camp according to Cao Zhang's playing style.
The result is that Xu Huang can continue to attack Wancheng, but Cao Zhang... is dragged by Wang Ping and cannot move.
After repeated unsuccessful attacks, the morale of Cao's army finally began to decline.
The most important thing is that as the war continues and the weather gets colder, that folk proverb finally comes into effect.
It begins with heavy snow, occurs at the winter solstice, is born during the mild cold, flourishes at the beginning of spring, is weaker than the rain, and declines with the Waking of Insects...
The plague broke out in Jingzhou.
Even though Liu Chan had anticipated it, he was unable to stop the outbreak and spread of the plague. Starting from Jiangling in Nanjun, it has now spread to most of Jingzhou.
Zhuge Liang had to temporarily retreat with his troops, Liu Chan had to work hard every day, and Xu Huang and Cao Zhang had to temporarily withdraw their troops and wait for Cao Pi's order.
The plague made Cao Pi and Sun Quan's situation even worse. Compared with the Han army who temporarily intervened, they were at the center of the plague.
Especially Cao Pi, who was still persisting, looked at Xu Huang and Wancheng who had been silent, and then saw that the food and grass he had finally delivered had been eaten up again.
Finally, he looked at the fallen soldiers in droves.
He still found Jian Yong... No, it should be said that he took the initiative to find Jian Yong.
At this time, Jian Yong had lived in Cao Pi's camp for nearly a month. Although he was in the enemy camp, he was still very happy every day.
He didn't hang around and make people suspicious, nor did he visit around to cause trouble for Cao Pi like Liu Chan. He just ate and slept every day, and from time to time he would bribe the guards who were watching him.
Ask them if they can get themselves some drinks...
When Cao Pi saw Jian Yong again, the guy was actually holding a half-eaten chicken leg in his hand and half-drunk wine at his feet.
This scene made Cao Pi, who had recently turned several gray hairs from worry, suddenly feel short of breath and felt like something had hit him hard on the chest.
"Mr. Xianhe, you are really in a good mood. Look at you like this... you have gained weight!"
"Hey... Your Majesty is here?" After Jian Yong saw Cao Pi, he immediately lost his stiffness, put on a smile and saluted Cao Pi.
Just looking at the chicken legs and wine jar in his hand...Cao Pi couldn't be happy.
"Mr. Xianhe, I'm afraid Mr. Xianhe has some guesses about my purpose of coming today, right?
I won’t say anything more to you today, I can talk about it later. "
"Well..." Jian Yong looked at Cao Pi in front of him very seriously, "Your Majesty...lost the battle so quickly?"
"..."
"Hiss...this shouldn't be...
As we could have said at the beginning, His Majesty has a strong army and can at least hold on for a few months.
Why can't you hold on so quickly? "
"..."
"Is there something wrong with Luoyang?
But Sima Yi and Chen Qun in Luoyang are His Majesty's confidants, and the military power is in the hands of the Cao family...
Oh, His Majesty’s brother is also named Cao! "
"..."
"But even if their surname is Cao, they can't afford to make waves.
Is it possible that His Majesty knows about Qingxu Prefecture?
I have long said that Zang Ba's thief and bandit background is not as reliable as the sons of Cao and Xiahou! "
"Mr. Xianhe, what exactly do you want to do today!"
When Jian Yong heard the sound coming from his back molars, the corners of his mouth finally couldn't help but twitch.
Then he immediately bowed his head and apologized.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, it was Jian Yong who said too much!"
