However, the beasts of burden were already heavily burdened, and it was impossible to move even an inch without water, and a large number of thirsty deaths soon appeared.

Without pack animals, there is no one to carry the food that can supply tens of thousands of troops.

The food that everyone can afford is limited,

In order to get out of this damned Tangluo Road, everyone in Wei Jun had no choice but to throw away their weapons one after another, carry food on their backs and set foot on the way home, walking hard on the rough road.

Among the tens of thousands of people, after all, some people have evil thoughts in their hearts,

Those who didn't throw away their weapons began to use their weapons to threaten others to hand over food. How could the other soldiers hand over the life-saving things in their hands, and they couldn't say anything.

As a result, the Wei army began to kill each other, and the people on the Tangluo Road were crying and shouting, and everyone was complaining about why they came to such a ghost place.

"It's all Wu Zhi!" Fei Yao roared with tears in his eyes, "It's all Wu Zhi!

Wu Zhi doesn't know how to fight at all!

Will not fight at all!

This battle, Chang Juying originally said that he could not fight!

It's Wu Zhi, who drove away General Chang for meritorious service, but he himself was kind enough to pat his ass and run away, trapping us all here! "

"Wu Zhi is a dog thief who kills thousands of swords, this dog thief!"

At the juncture of life and death, having a common enemy is a thing that can unite morale.

Everyone in the Wei army scolded Wu Zhi for being shameless, but there was nothing he could do about it. Su managed to maintain order and comforted everyone by saying:

"Continuing this nonsense is afraid that everyone will die here,

The Shu army may have already chased after them. If you don’t want to die, let me save some energy.

After crossing Sanling, we will go home! "

"Go home!" Many Wei soldiers shouted together.

It's just that they don't know it yet, what they are about to face is a hundred times more tragic than the previous Xingshi battle.

Chapter 466 The Brave Wang Situ

Sima Yi struggled forward while building the plank road in Ziwu Valley.

After walking for more than a month, the Meridian Valley has not been halfway through.

Sima Yi, tortured by the changeable weather in the Qinling Mountains, suffered unspeakably. He thought that he still underestimated the power of the Shu Road after all, and he had a vague premonition

It shouldn't be a coincidence that Fu Gan deliberately found an excuse to leave,

He has lived here for so many years, so he should know the situation in Ziwu Valley very well. He must know that this battle cannot be fought, so he deliberately found an excuse to slip away.

Great Wei is now at a critical moment, waiting for Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, it seems that they really want to go back to their homes, and they will disperse and run away.

If the Great Wei is over, can the Ninth Rank Official Law still be kept?

Sima Yi stared blankly at the decayed plank road under his feet, and recalled a long sigh with Chen Qun before he left for the expedition.

Chen Qun was very worried about state affairs, and even more worried about the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law that he had finally devised.

Now the Nine Rank Official Personnel Law has been effectively promoted throughout the Great Wei Dynasty,

Although it is not yet possible to sweep the procuratorial system into the garbage dump, it has already shown strong vitality and has received strong support from many aristocratic families.

This great system that makes the gentlemen of the world happy should be passed on from generation to generation, and it will be immortal forever.

Gentlemen from aristocratic families who have read poetry and books and understand righteousness can use this system to make their children in the family rank in the court, and completely eliminate people from humble backgrounds such as Wu Zhi and Deng Ai who have no morals.

At that time, all the courts and courts will be full of sincere gentlemen, and everyone will marry each other, united in the same spirit, and wholeheartedly for the stable development of the country and society, even enough to stop the emperor's random order.

This is a great thing.

Now Sima Yi has heard that the aristocratic families in the Central Plains are closely connected, secretly doing ideological work for Liu Bei's Jingzhou aristocratic families, hoping that they can persuade Liu Bei to accept this advanced concept.

If Liu Bei is willing to accept the Ninth Grade Official Personnel Law and transfer the power of selecting talents to a group of aristocratic families, they will naturally be willing to eat pots of milk to welcome the king and return to the embrace of the big man.

But now

Liu Bei obviously did not show such a will.

They began to conduct examinations, and the scope of the examinations also deviated greatly from the teachings of saints, and they actually tested the so-called Dao of Heaven.

This is so fucking ridiculous.

What's even more absurd is that since it is the way of heaven, it should be in the hands of a few people. How can it let those villains with humble backgrounds and low status participate in it together.

"Liu Bei's favorite celebrity is not someone who has read poetry and books and understands righteousness. Only Chen Yuanlong can befriend him.

If he wins the world, he must abolish all the nine ranks. In the future, those sons of traffickers and pawns will be able to sit in the court and take on important tasks. I will read poems and books, broadcast and educate, and my descendants will salute these vulgar people instead.

You said, how can such a thing be tolerated? "

So what if you can't bear it?

The emperor is a very assertive person,

For some reason, he favors people like Wu Zhi, and for some reason he goes on the Tangluo Road, so what can he do?

Could it be possible to learn from Emperor Wu to make the emperor empty, when the time comes

Thinking of this, Sima Yi's heart twitched suddenly.

A long time ago, he also had such a terrible idea in his heart, but at that time the situation of Dawei was not too corrupt, so he immediately suppressed this dangerous thought and continued to serve the Dahan conscientiously.

But this time, due to successive failures in the battle, the Wei army complained a lot, and many people began to question the emperor.

Of course they didn't dare to directly attack Cao Zhen and Sima Yi's decision-making, let alone embarrass themselves with a family like Fu Gan, so they put all the responsibility on Wu Zhi

You see, I said that these poor families from poor and humble backgrounds are unreliable, and it is impossible for a humble man like Wu Zhi to take on a big responsibility.

Thinking of this, the thoughts in Sima Yi's mind gradually became clear.

The Son of Heaven is young and reckless, we auxiliary ministers should take responsibility and let him make fewer mistakes.

It seems that it was wrong for us to stay away from Luoyang before and let the emperor make random decisions.

Situ Wanglang is over seventy years old,

Wang Lang was really unwilling to be assigned to Chang'an this time,

But thinking that his granddaughter had already made an appointment with Sima Yi's second son, Sima Zhao, and with such a relationship, he would not worry about being taken care of, so he was a little relieved.

As soon as he arrived in Luoyang, Wang Lang wrote a letter with a swipe of his pen, expressing regret for Yu Fan's surrender to the enemy, and hoped that Yu Fan would repent earlier and stop killing more.

Wang Situ's awe-inspiring righteousness won everyone's unanimous admiration, only Fu Gan, who was still fishing with Feng Yi, rolled his eyes, thinking that this old man really showed that he was shameless.

Yu Fan was Wang Lang's subordinate before defecting to Sun Ce, and he was loyal to Wang Lang.

After Wang Lang was beaten by Sun Ce, Yu Fan also loyally escorted Wang Lang to escape, but Wang Lang was disheartened and asked Yu Fan to go home and stay. This is the story of Sun Ce coming to invite Yu Fan out.

Wang Lang hadn't seen this loyal guard for many years. He had long heard that Yu Fan had become the head of the prince's residence after hearing that Yu Fan had flourished under Liu Chan's command.

It is said that Liu Chan has not yet decided on a candidate for the crown princess, and his granddaughter has not passed the door, otherwise Yu Fan will introduce it, and it does not matter if the crown princess is added.

They are all real relatives, so it would be too much for such a small favor to not help.

Fu Gan was so disgusted by Wang Lang's behavior that he was about to vomit, and he hurried to use his brain to see if he could have a little relationship with Liu Bei.

It's a pity that his father Fu Xie's old classmate Gongsun Zan died too early, and his friendship with Liu Bei could not be continued, which made Fu Gan anxious out of thin air.

These two people have their own ulterior motives, secretly observing and waiting for an opportunity in Chang'an, and they are afraid of being spotted by others, so their lives are very uncomfortable.

At the end of February in spring, the spring plowing in the Guanzhong area is supposed to be delayed if it does not start.

But now that the army that fought in Hanzhong has not returned, Hanzhong has lost [-] civilians, and it is a foregone conclusion that a large amount of land will be abandoned.

Wang Lang was very helpless about this, and could only temporarily register the abandoned land under his own name for everyone.

Fu Gan was very angry at Wang Lang's behavior, and Wang Lang had no choice but to allocate part of the land under his own name to Fu Gan.

The two of them were bored against bored, but secretly made a small fortune, and also brought their friendship closer.

If the days can go on like this, it looks good,

It's a pity that their good mood didn't last long. Three days later, an urgent report came from outside the city saying that Wu Zhi had returned.

Wang Lang is Situ, and his status is far higher than that of Wu Zhi, but Wu Zhi is an important leader in this Hanzhong campaign.

Coming back at this time must mean that something big happened, Wang Lang didn't dare to neglect, and hurried out of the city on horseback, Fu Gan was also afraid of falling behind, so he hurried out of the city with Wang Lang.

Wu Zhi escaped with great difficulty and was attacked by many ferocious beasts.

Relying on his strong belief in survival, he desperately resisted, and actually left the damned Tangluo Road, and met Cao Wei's reconnaissance team inquiring about news at Taniguchi, and then returned to Luoyang.

He heard that the emperor had sent Situ Wang Lang to sit in Chang'an, so he hurriedly rode his horse to Chang'an. When he saw the [-]-year-old Wang Lang coming out of the city to greet him, Wu Zhi burst into tears:

"Wang Situ! Wang Situ!

The last general, the last general will almost never be able to come back to see Wang Situ again! "

Seeing that Wu Zhi was covered in scars all over his body, and his hair was cut off in large pieces, he didn't know what kind of scene he had experienced.

This usually bohemian, arrogant and unreasonable guy is now holding Wang Lang and crying into tears, which makes Wang Lang slightly proud.

Wu Zhi has become like this, and it is conceivable what the rest of Wei Jun has become.

Fortunately, my old friend is doing well, Zhongxiang will definitely not let go of the old kindness.

Wang Lang put on an appearance of a virtuous person, and said gently:

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, General Wu has suffered this time!"

Wu Zhi choked up and said:

"Thank you Wang Situ, we have been tricked by villains in this battle, General"

"Report!"

The two of them hadn't finished talking about the old days, and there was an urgent military situation,

Fu Gan took the military newspaper and sent it to Wang Lang. Wang Lang calmly opened the letter, and after only one glance, his eyes widened immediately.

"This"

"Wang Situ, could it be that the Shu army came here?"

Wang Lang nodded in horror, and murmured:

"The soldiers of the Shu army left Longshan, and now they have reached Fengxiang, Yongxian County!"

"This"

Before the expedition, Cao Zhen considered that the Han army would adopt a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao when they heard that the Wei army was aggressively attacking Hanzhong, and launched an attack on Yong County.

He built a large number of stronghold fortresses in Yong County, which were enough to stop the fierce attack of the Han army. In addition, he reserved a reserve team in Chang'an, and asked Fu Qian to lead his army to rescue the siege immediately if Yong County was really attacked. , Saying that the Han army cannot be allowed to enter the hinterland of Guanzhong.

Fu Gan made a decisive decision:

"Quick, where is the general, tell the matter to the general!"

Wang Lang was openly not afraid, and sneered:

"The thieves from Shu have come far away, and the food and grass are scarce, so what are you afraid of?

The old man is willing to personally lead the army to stop the Shu thieves, and let the general rest in Chang'an for a while. "

When Wang Lang was young, his martial arts skills were quite good, but his ability to use troops was a disaster. Those who were beaten by Sun Ce also recognized themselves, and never dared to bring up the matter of leading troops to fight again.

But his basic judgment ability is still there.

The troops that the Han army came out of the Longshan Road to launch an attack must be a part of the division, purely for the relief of the siege of Hanzhong,

He had already received the news that Sima Yi was about to retreat. He led the Chang'an garrison to support Sima Yi's elite soldiers.

Knowing that the siege of Hanzhong has been lifted, the Han army will definitely not attack by force, and will retreat by itself.

In this way, as long as Wang Lang sits in the central army and lets Sima Yi work hard, he can gain the reputation of not being afraid of powerful enemies, being strong and brave when he is old, and he can sell Cao Zhen's favor, so why not do it.

The most important thing is that I, Wang Lang, will show my strength on the battlefield, so that the Han army will always have some scruples when it comes to marching eastward. In order to reduce casualties, I must find a way to recruit Wang Lang.

Wang Lang is a man of high morals and prestige at his age, so he can naturally talk more about conditions for his family.

This plan is great.

Fu Gan also saw through Wang Lang's thoughts, he was not far behind, and said solemnly:

"The thieves from Shu are very courageous. If you dare to attack me in Guanzhong, you don't need Wang Situ to go out, and I will win a big victory."
