He didn't want to say anything at first.

But it happened that his sister in the palace was inextricably related to this matter.

No matter how slow he is, he still knows that if he really wants to investigate deeply, sooner or later his sister, the queen, will be implicated.

Last year, he naturally knew that his brother-in-law had suffered a lot.

Cruel and cruel Xiao Wenhe!

Therefore, Zhang Bao deliberately mentioned Wei Yan because he wanted to know how far Xiao Wenhe wanted to take this matter.

There was no way, one of his two sisters was married to the Emperor, and the other was married to the Protector of the Central Government.

It’s really embarrassing for myself.

Zhang Bao was heard sighing:

"What Zhongduhu said makes sense. It's just that Wei Yan is also an old minister of the Han Dynasty, and he has made a lot of contributions to the Han Dynasty over the years."

"This time I was careless and lost the party. I must have made a mistake. Merit and demerit must be carefully distinguished."

"In the battle report sent back by Shi Zhongrong, Wei Yan's son Wei Chang was mentioned, saying that Gaoping Pass was able to be defended, and this son also had some credit."

When Feng Duhu heard this, he glanced at Zhang Bao in surprise, with a look of confusion in his eyes, as if he finally understood something.

A calm smile appeared on his face, and he said in a calm voice:

"Brother, did you know that when the Prime Minister wanted to depose Li Zhengfang, he asked me to write to Li Haoxuan (that is, Li Feng)?"

Zhang Bao was stunned: "What?"

"Replace the father and use the son." Feng Duhu said, looking at Zhang Bao meaningfully, "Do you understand?"

Zhang Bao was a little confused. He seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

Zhang Jiu, on the other hand, showed approval and admiration on his face.

It is said that the Protector is ruthless and ruthless, rumors have spread!

Even when facing political opponents, he does not want to be implicated. He can still restrain his selfishness and act in accordance with the laws of the country. Can he be said to be broad-minded?

"Speaking of Li Zhengfang, Wei Wenchang has a somewhat similar personality to him."

After all, Feng Duhu couldn't help but comment, "Both of them are too selfish and at odds with their colleagues, but they also think highly of themselves."

"In all things in this world, mediocre people are mostly defeated by laziness, and capable people are mostly defeated by arrogance."

"Therefore, no matter how talented you are, you must act with humility. Because humility makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind!"

Zhang Bao understood this time and praised:

"Is it true that Zhongdu protects this statement?"

Feng Duhu shook his head: "I don't dare to take credit. This is not what I said."

"Oh? What wise man said that?"

Feng Duhu glanced at him: "Of course it's what our sages said."

"Well, no wonder, no wonder!"

Zhang Bao showed his original expression.

Zhongduhu waved his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about these digressions. Wudangjun can all arrive here in two days at most."

"In this way, Hedong will have 50,000 infantry and cavalry. Do you have any suggestions for the next step?"

As he spoke, he raised his whip and pointed it in the direction of Gaopingguan and then in the direction of Zhiguan:

"Are we going northeast or southeast?"

"Towards the northeast of course!"

Zhang Bao said without hesitation, "Zhi Pass is dangerous and heavily controlled by thieves. It is difficult to capture it in a hurry."

"Gaoping Pass is very different. Gaoping Pass is still under the control of the Han Dynasty, and Sima Shi has just been defeated."

"When our army arrives at Gaoping Pass, it is a feasible strategy whether we go south to attack Sima Division and capture Gaodu City, or we go north to recapture the eldest son."

Zhang Bao emphasized his tone, "The most important thing is that there is an engineering camp at Gaoping Pass!"

"Zhongduhu, as long as the engineering battalion is here, Gaodu and the eldest son will be at your fingertips!"

Hearing this, Feng Duhu looked past Zhang Bao and looked at Zhang Yi and Zhang Jiu:

"That's what you all think?"

Zhang Yi and Zhang Ji both nodded: "Exactly."

Feng Duhu smiled, then turned to look at Gao Pingguan...

While Feng Duhu was planning how to counterattack, the offensive and defensive battle in Xiangyang in the south had already entered a fever pitch.

It has to be said that Lu Xun's long-planned plan is getting closer to success.

The Wu Kingdom's naval warships, which cover the sky and the sun, have always firmly controlled the Han River.

The Wei army in Fancheng tried to build a pontoon bridge several times to connect to the south, but Lu Xun stopped them.

In Xian Mountain, south of Xiangyang City, the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Zhu Ran personally led five thousand elite troops, secretly took a boat, and went around to the south. Taking advantage of the Wei army's unpreparedness, he sent Zhu Yi as the vanguard and captured Longpanji near Xian Mountain at night.

To the northwest of Longpanji is Xianshan Mountain, and to the north is Xianshou Mountain.

Between Longpanji and Xianshou Mountain, there is a narrow area with dense mountains and dangerous terrain. It is the only way to Xiangyang.

The Wei army deployed troops here to prevent the Wu army from passing here.

Who would have expected that Zhu Ran would not go there at all, but occupied Longpanji in the south and commanded a high position.

In addition, to the east of this place is the Han River, and the navy of the State of Wu is far away to help.

Because most of the Wei army in Xiangyang was taken away by Guanqiu Jian, they went to Caoqiao Pass to prepare for Feng.

In addition, due to the great defeat at Peizhong, the troops were greatly damaged and they were unable to return to Xiangyang.

Therefore, the military strength in Xiangyang City is not sufficient.

Even if they knew that the terrain here was dangerous, there was no way to deploy heavy troops here.

Under the attack of Wu State on land and water, the Wei army at the pass abandoned more than a hundred corpses and fled in confusion.

Zhu Ran followed closely behind and drove the army forward.

At the same time, he sent people to notify Bu Zhao and asked him to send people to attack the Wei army camp on Xian Mountain.

After Zhu Ran cleared the Wei army in the area of ​​Xianshou Mountain and Panlongji, he continued to turn westward and cut off the Wei army's retreat in Xianshan Mountain.

The Wei army in Xiangyang City was now distracted from the north and the south.

The Han River in the north was the main force of the navy led by Lu Xun, and he did not dare to slack off.

In the south, the Wu army was attacking Xianshan again.

After paying attention to one thing and losing another, the Wei army on the Xian Mountain was isolated and helpless, and finally the entire army was wiped out.

At this point, the entire outer perimeter of Xiangyang City had been wiped out by the Wu army.

At the same time, Bu Zhao moved his army to Xianshan, and Zhu Ran moved his army to Xianshou Mountain, and saw clearly the layout of Xiangyang City.

Coupled with Lu Xun's navy and Wu's navy and land army, Xiangyang was surrounded as tightly as an iron barrel, airtight.

Guanqiu Jian, who had returned to Shiwan City at this time, could no longer control his emotions and came to Hu Zhi's tent angrily:

"General Hu, the Western bandits and the Wu bandits are attacking Jingzhou together. Why are the reinforcements coming so late?"

If we could have come a few days earlier, we might have been able to take advantage of Fancheng before the Wu invaders had completed their arrangements, and try to see if they could break through the Han River defense line.

Now that the Wu invaders are fully prepared, they can only do nothing.

As the governor of Jingzhou, Guanqiu Jian naturally knew that there were not enough soldiers in Xiangyang City at this time.

Now the Han River has been blocked by the Wu invaders, making it impossible to communicate with the south.

Seen from the top of Fancheng City, Xiangyang City is constantly sending out distress signals to the north. The situation seems extremely bad.

The city is large but the defenders are few. This can be said to be an undefendable city.

If something really happened in Xiangyang, Guanqiu Jian knew that he would be guilty of losing his land and would most likely be punished.

Hu Zhi was the general who led the army to come to the rescue this time, and he was also very impatient at this time:

"How to march, the general has his own arrangements. I just follow orders and act. If you ask me, you might as well ask the general!"

I remembered the military order sent by the general when the leading army came.

Hu Zhi couldn't help but cursed in his heart:
Chapter completed!
