Three Kingdoms: The Kingdom Cannot Be Partial

Chapter 1 I am not strong yet, but when I grow strong, things will change!

Shu capital.

Miyagi.

When the clock struck midnight, all the palaces were closed for rest.

Only the Xuanshi Hall of the previous dynasty was still lit.

Liu Chan, who had not slept all night, lay on the couch, his hands crossed on his chest. His heroic face still looked handsome, but his eyes were blurry.

I just bought a Xicheng high-speed rail ticket on a whim, which was priced at 263 yuan, according to legend, to commemorate the death of Jiang Wei and the fall of the Han Dynasty.

From Chang'an, a place the Prime Minister never saw in his life, he came to the starting point of the Northern Expedition and presented the Prime Minister with a bouquet of flowers and a painting covered with the barrage of "Take care, Prime Minister".

How did I travel through time?!
Because his name is also Liu Chan?
Because some Bhu netizens promised the prime minister or college students tens of thousands or millions of dollars?
Or is it because he looks exactly like the hopeless Liu Adou?
In short, after waking up on the couch yesterday, everyone was right to call him Your Majesty.

In surprise, he called for a bronze mirror and found that the person in the mirror looked exactly like him except that he had long black hair.

Even the scar on his arm left by the BCG vaccination was considered a birthmark in Liu Adou's memory.

As a result, Liu Chan couldn't tell whether he was traveling in a physical body or in a spiritual body.

Speaking of clothing, where did this waterfall-like hair come from? How did this language and writing system that is a fusion of Liu Adou's fragmented memories come from?
But if it is about soul traveling, this body that is so familiar that it cannot be more familiar seems to be really my own.

But no matter what, after a night of thinking, Liu Chan finally accepted the fact that he had traveled through time, and finally made a certain decision:
——He wanted to "lead the army in person" to try to save the crisis caused by Ma Su.

After all, while no one knows which powerful being is testing him, perhaps, perhaps, they must have sensed something about him, and so sent this hunk down from the sky, hoping he'd fulfill a mission from some if-line, right?!

You can't just randomly pick a time traveler with the same holy nature and pure heart and repeat the mistakes of the Dou Emperor?
Thinking of this, he really felt eager to try and gained some confidence.

Furthermore, let’s not talk about the Three Resurgences of the Han Dynasty or the Five Barbarians’ Invasion of China.

Even if it was just to take his life and death into his own hands and not become the Lord Anle who lived in fear and depended on others, he should have taken the initiative to do something!
He has to take the initiative to do something.

It is said that "To bear the disgrace of the country is to be the master of the country, to bear the misfortune of the country is to be the king of the world."

Liu Chan temporarily took on the burden of the two capitals and thirteen states on behalf of Emperor Dou.

The worst possible outcome is nothing more than death!
I would rather die as a noble countryman than live as an ordinary countryman!
Death is death, the only thing to be afraid of is... dying in pain.

But even so, the young emperor who replaced the Dou Emperor made up his mind and encouraged himself courageously: When things are hopeless, I will find a comfortable way to die in advance.

As the saying goes, "I am not yet strong, but when I grow strong, things will change."

The "why" of leading the army in person is beyond doubt and cannot be shaken for the time being.

Next comes the “how to do it”.

According to Liu Adou's memory, today should be February 21st, the sixth year of Jianxing.

After receiving the news last month that Sima Yi had indeed sent troops to Xincheng to attack Meng Da, the Prime Minister quickly led his troops north and began the first Northern Expedition.

Since Sima Yi, Cao Wei's most capable warrior, had been lured east by the Prime Minister's scheme, who could possibly stop the Prime Minister's army in the unprotected Longyou area?

Have.

Ma Su (sù).

"Since the death of Emperor Zhaolie of Han, Wei has been silent for several years, so it has made no preparations."
"When the news of Liang's departure reached the court and the people were terrified. Tianshui, Nangan and Anding all rebelled in support of Liang. The whole of Guanzhong was shaken, and the court officials did not know what to do."

Before the time travel, Liu Chan would always feel very regretful and brood over this passage whenever he read it, so that when he thought of Ma Su at this moment, this passage would come to his mind.

How can I not feel regret?
How can I not feel resentful?
If Ji Han wants to recover the Central Plains and return to the old capital, now is almost the only time window!
Is there any better opportunity than this?
If it weren't for Ma Su's defeat at Jieting, the Prime Minister would have had a great chance of taking over all the land on the right, and then the biggest obstacle to the Northern Expedition - the food supply - would have been solved!

Why?

Because Cao Wei transported grain from Luoyang to Guanzhong, the total grain route was 1,200 miles!

In the meantime, the 300-mile Yellow River waterway from Luoyang to Sanmenxia has cliffs and primeval forests on both sides, dense reefs in the river, and turbulent waters, making it a deadly supply line that is almost impossible to navigate!
When the world was unified, this 300-mile supply line was the biggest obstacle for the Guanzhong regime to drain the world's blood; when the world was divided, it was a nightmare that made the Guandong regime suffer from "generals' white hair and soldiers' tears."

Countless sailors have drowned in the river here, countless boatmen have fallen off the cliff here, and behind them, countless families have been broken up and destroyed because of "taking revenge for desertion and capturing parents and wives".

Successive dynasties tried their best to build roads and dig canals, but the problem was not solved until Guanzhong was no longer suitable for building a capital, and the efforts took thousands of years.

Can Cao Wei solve it?
Obviously not.

Then they can only travel 300 miles by land, which will consume 40% to 50% of the food and grass. After passing Sanmenxia, ​​they will go down the river and go upstream for 900 miles.

What if the Han army took Longyou?

It takes less than 300 miles to transport grain from Tianshui out of Longshan to Guanzhong, and 500 miles to Chang'an!

There are also the Wei and Qiān rivers flowing downstream!

In this case, what does it matter if a small force defeats a big one? !
Apart from anything else, in Guanzhong, the advantage in food supply is definitely enough to make up for the gap in national strength!

Even if the Prime Minister fought with Sima Yi at Wuzhangyuan again, the one who would be anxious would not be the Prime Minister, but Sima Yi!
And if the emperor of the Han Dynasty was like Emperor Taizu Gao, he would enter Guanzhong from Hanzhong and return to Xijing.

Then it can be predicted that it will "shake China and make the whole world in turmoil", and its military and political significance will be enormous.

However, after careful consideration, the place Liu Chan wanted to lead the army in person was not Longyou where the prime minister was, but Jigu where Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi were, also known as Baoxiadao.

In his letter of apology to Liu Adou after the defeat, the Prime Minister said:

"The army at Qishan and Jigu outnumbered the enemy, yet was unable to defeat them..."

This shows that Cao Wei responded hastily to the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition and was unable to recruit enough troops in a short period of time.

So, Cao Zhen might really be a breakthrough.

And if they can really defeat Cao Zhen, get out of Xiegu, besiege Chencang, and go up Longshan, then who knows, they might be able to give Zhang He a terrible time and catch him off guard!
In any case, if you sit in the palace hesitating and looking back, you will not be able to accomplish anything.

If you go out, there may still be opportunities.

At the very least, it would prevent Zhao Yun from ending up with nothing done and dying of old age in Shuzhong, and allow him to devote two more years of blood and sweat to the Han Dynasty and work like a beast of burden for two more years, right?
When he thought of this, Liu Chan got up from the couch, sent away all the servants, and only left a good-looking eunuch to hold the lamp.

Afterwards, he walked to the desk, spread out the silk himself, and then picked up the pen and started writing. His thoughts flowed like a flood of urine, and he wrote more than a thousand words.

The gist of it was that he went to the Zhaolie Temple of the late emperor yesterday to mourn for his father, and confessed his heart to the late emperor apart from all the ministers, asking the late emperor to bless the prime minister with good health and success in the Northern Expedition.

Unexpectedly, an earthquake struck, and he felt dizzy and his vision went black. When he woke up, he was already in the Xuanshi Hall. In his trance, he suddenly woke up and realized that it was the late emperor who had appeared in his dream.

One day, the military officer Ma Su left the water at Jiequan Pavilion and went up the mountain instead of coming down to occupy the city, thus causing the Northern Expedition to fail.

Second, if Ma Su's defeat is irreversible, then the direction of Jigu may be able to continue the fortune of the Han Dynasty.

As for how to continue these two fortunes, the late emperor did not elaborate, but only encouraged him to be more spirited, to be more courageous, to carry on the late emperor's legacy, and to share some of the burden with the prime minister...

It’s just made up anyway!

Having written a paper, is there anything you can’t edit?
Finally, Liu Chan and the Prime Minister expressed their deepest feelings:
Thinking that the four hundred years of foundation of the Han Dynasty would be lost by me, I was heartbroken and wept bitterly, not knowing how to deal with myself, let alone how to face the late emperor!

So he changed his plan and vowed to turn over a new leaf, work hard, carry on the late emperor's will, uphold the late emperor's virtues, join forces with other ministers and unite with the soldiers.

So he decided to personally lead the expedition to Jigu to encourage his soldiers.

If it is true as the late emperor said in his dream, that Ma Su's defeat is irreversible, then I hope that the Prime Minister will gather troops and grain in Qishan, preserve the retreat route, resist the Wei rebels, and wait for news from Jigu.

If we win in Jigu, the Wei rebels can be captured, and our Han Dynasty will surely have the upper hand!
If defeated, he would retreat to Hanzhong, submit his life and wait for the right time.

If the king cannot ultimately restore the country to safety and the sun and moon to brightness again, then he may die for the country.

This is the end of the book.

It is worth mentioning that the emperor gradually became immersed in the play as the pen tip moved, and when the pen reached the middle part where the emotions were full,

Suddenly he became artificial, his writing flowed swiftly, and he deliberately imitated the style of "Eulogy for My Nephew".

Although it is imitating the West and imitating the East, it ends up looking like a dog.

But when writing from the heart, he completely disregards the clumsiness of the pen and ink, nor does he care about the ink drying up. He writes in one breath, with his emotions surging like the tide.

In a word: it's all fake emotions, without any skills.

Liu Chan read it through again and had to praise Adou. Although he was not good at this or that, at least his attainments in clerical wording were so good that he could not match them even with ten horses.

It is estimated that after reading the "heartfelt words" in the second half of the book, the Prime Minister may not really believe that the hopeless Liu Chan could repent one day, but at least he would feel that Liu Chan was sincere when he wrote it.

The Prime Minister has made all the arrangements.

The next problem he had to face was how to convince Jiang Wan and Dong Yun to agree to let him lead the imperial army in person.

The Dou Emperor has no authority at all. If he wants to lead his troops to the north without sufficient reasons to convince the two of them, it would be nothing but a foolish dream and extremely difficult.

While Liu Chan was thinking, he took out the seal and stamped it on the silk book. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the eunuch holding the lamp beside him behaving in a strange way.

Turning his head, he saw that the eunuch, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, had red eyes and an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong with you?" Liu Chan asked casually, and then confirmed again that Adou really had no memory of this eunuch.

But before the eunuch could respond, Liu Chan quickly picked up the silk from the table and moved it in front of the eunuch: "Come, think of something sad and let your tears fall here."

The eunuch was stunned for a moment, but he dared not disobey. After thinking for a while, he actually squeezed out tears as if he had suffered a great injustice.

The silk book in Liu Chan's hand quickly became soaked in many places.

"You seem to have something to say to me?" Liu Chan asked casually as he turned around and put the silk book back on the table.

The eunuch quickly stopped crying, hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to speak:

"Your Majesty, there are rumors about Your Majesty in the palace..."

"What?" Liu Chan turned around.

The eunuch was frightened by Liu Chan's stare.

"They all say that His Majesty is no longer the same His Majesty."

...

...

Chancery desk.

Si Chen shouted at the crack of dawn.

Dong Yun, the General of the Tiger Guards, and Jiang Wan, the Chief Clerk of the Prime Minister's Residence, both stayed overnight in the palace because of the strange and ominous events yesterday in order to stop rumors and prevent any accidents.

At this time, the cocks crowed in the palace and the sky was bright. The emperor, who had moved to the Xuanshi Palace, had no trouble all night. The two men, who had been up all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The two men, who had no interest in playing chess, stood up at the same time, prepared to put on their clothes and hats, and then went to the Xuanshi Hall to take a look.

First of all, I don’t know whether the emperor is in good health.

Secondly, he was still worried about whether the emperor's soul was safe.

Yesterday's debate, which began with "This is a very ominous situation, a sign of a cuckoo occupying a magpie's nest" and ended with "The mandate of heaven lies with Wei, not Han", really made these two backbones of Shu feel anxious and helpless.

However, before the two of them could tidy up their clothes, a burst of hurried and sharp footsteps suddenly came from afar and came from the stone steps outside the door.

Needless to say...he is the emperor's close attendant!
Dong Yun's expression suddenly became serious. He strode forward and pulled the door open, but he did not step out of the guardhouse. He just frowned and raised his hands in the shadows, making a "shut up" gesture to the eunuch who was about to speak.

When the eunuch entered the pavilion, Dong Yun saw his expression and was immediately at a loss.

The eunuch's eyes were red, as if he had just cried bitterly!
Something happened to the Emperor?!

Jiang Wan was calmer than Dong Yun and led the eunuch behind the screen.

"Is Your Majesty alright?" Jiang Wan's eyes were sharp enough to kill.

Nowadays, all military and national affairs are handled by the Prime Minister's Office. When the Prime Minister goes on a northern expedition, he leaves the Chief Secretary to take charge of state affairs, and his power and responsibilities are comparable to those of Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty.

After entering the palace, this eunuch behaved himself well and never made any mistakes or told any lies. However, he was facing such an authoritative figure for the first time and was trembling with fear.

　Hey everyone! This is my first time writing a book! There are bound to be many errors and omissions in the historical details! And please, fellow knowledgeable and educated readers, please be gentle with me when I criticize you!
