It can be said that Emperor Wu watched how the Shu people grew step by step from a land without a foothold to the Han Kingdom with four states.

At that time, Liu Bei only gained one and a half states, but Emperor Wu couldn't wait to ask Liu Bei to give up Jingzhou.

Not to mention, the current leader of Han Dynasty is Liu Chan, who can be regarded as his junior.

It was precisely because of this that Emperor Wu became increasingly unbalanced.

Why?

The Liu family and his son had no place to stand at first. If it weren't for Jiangdong's help, how could Liu Bei have been able to gain a foothold in several counties in Jingzhou?

Later, Liu Bei relied on several counties in Jingzhou to enter Shu and create a foundation, which is why he now has four states in the world.

And what about the State of Wu, which has been making great efforts during this period?

After so many years, it is still no more than the land of three states.

This isn't fair!

The more Emperor Wu thought this way, the more anxious he felt in his heart.

He couldn't wait to ask the people from the school affairs office to immediately go to Shu with his secret message.

Among the school officials, Qin Bo is the only one who has been to Shu, so he is naturally the most suitable person for this trip.

Taking a boat from Jianye to Jiangling, and then entering Shu from Jiangling, Qin Bo rushed to Hanzhong without even stopping in Jincheng.

Even so, when Qin Bo came to Hanzhong, it was already mid-February of the fifteenth year of Jianxing.

When we left Jianye, the weather was still chilly.

When I first entered Sichuan, I felt slightly warm.

When we arrived in Hanzhong, it was already spring and the flowers were blooming.

In early spring in Hanzhong, the water level of the Han River was higher than in winter, and the mighty water looked a bit muddy and yellow.

Along the river bank, light yellow and tender green grass sprouts sprouted from patches of last year's dead grass.

Between the misty willow trees beside the road, swallows' scissor-like figures flashed from time to time.

Facing the beautiful scenery that was different from Jiangnan, Qin Bo was not in the mood to appreciate it.

The last time he came to Han, he got unexpected results.

And this time, he hopes to live up to His Majesty's expectations.

However, since he entered Hanzhong, especially when he came to Nanzheng where the Han emperor's palace was located, he found that the atmosphere here was actually a bit depressing.

The officials who received him looked even more sad.

This made him feel a little puzzled.

Didn't it mean that the Han people won a great victory in the battle of Guanzhong and captured the two states of Yong from the Wei thieves?

Why do these people look like their adults are seriously ill and about to die?

Liu Chan, the leader of Han Dynasty, learned that Lord Wu personally sent someone to deliver a letter, and he quickly met with Qin Bo.

After he finished reading Sun Quan's letter, he couldn't help but sigh and said to Qin Bo:

"Han and Wu are originally allies. The Lord of Wu wants to attack the thieves. Logically speaking, why should the Han Dynasty not help?"

Speaking of this, Liu Chan's face showed sadness:

"It's just that two days before envoy Wu arrived, someone from Guanzhong sent an urgent report."

Qin Bo's heart skipped a beat: "Guanzhong?"

Although something was wrong, Qin Bo still asked a little rudely:

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, but the Wei thieves sent troops to re-enter Guanzhong?"

(Note: During the alliance between Han and Wu, they recognized each other's throne, and those who sent envoys all called themselves ministers, and also called the other emperor's emperor his majesty.)

Adou shook his head:

"The thieves were scared out of their wits during the battle in Guanzhong. How dare they return to Guanzhong? Even if the thieves come, the Han has strong generals and elite soldiers stationed in Guanzhong, so how can he be afraid of them?"

Qin Bo:......

Remembering that Zhuge Kongming and Feng Mingwen were both leading troops stationed in Guanzhong, Qin Bo wisely shut his mouth.

The two of them joined forces and conquered the two states in one fell swoop. Even if Wu's top general came over, he would not dare to stand up in front of them.

But if there was no danger in Guanzhong, then why did the Han Lord say that there was urgent news in Guanzhong?

Adou didn't let Qin Bo wait too long, he gave the answer himself:

"After the beginning of spring, the prime minister's condition worsened, so the Guanzhong army may not be able to move lightly."

Qin Bo was horrified when he heard this: "Is Prime Minister Zhuge's condition getting worse?"

Adou nodded: "Of course. Now the whole country of the Han Dynasty is worried about the Prime Minister's illness. I have sent envoys several times in the past few days to visit Guanzhong."

When Qin Bo heard this, he felt suddenly. No wonder all the Han sergeants and officials looked sad.

In fact, the condition of the Han Prime Minister was more serious than Adou said.

In winter, the Prime Minister rarely leaves his bed.

However, judging from the news coming from Guanzhong, the prime minister at that time was in good spirits.

I never thought that spring would start, and I don’t know if the weather in spring would be cold or cold, and the changeable weather would make people unprepared.

The prime minister first suffered from wind and cold and did not recover for a long time. Finally, his condition worsened and he could not get up from his bed.

Before the death of Li Hui and Zhao Yun, the situation was basically the same. Whenever climate change occurred, his body could not bear it.

Therefore, the Prime Minister has no choice but to worry about his current situation.

Nowadays, there is a constant flow of messengers between Hanzhong and Guanzhong, and its density is almost as high as when the war in Guanzhong was at its peak.

The court has even begun to discuss the matters behind the Prime Minister's death, so if you want to hide this matter from Wu Envoy, you will definitely not be able to hide it.

Even if you can hide it for a while, you won't be able to hide it for long.

It is better to tell the other party directly to show honesty.

Qin Bo knew very well that Zhuge Kongming was entrusted with an orphan, continued to prosper, assisted the Ji Han Dynasty, made great achievements, and had an unshakable position in the Ji Han Dynasty.

Now that he was seriously ill while leading his troops outside, even the people in Hanzhong at the rear were in unrest.

Not to mention the troops on the front line in Guanzhong, I am afraid that the morale of the troops is even worse.

Therefore, it is probably impossible for Han State to contain Wei State in the west.

As soon as he thought about this, Qin Bo couldn't help but have a sad look on his face, and he sighed endlessly.

I don't know whether he was lamenting the illness of Prime Minister Zhuge, or the frustration of his own emperor's plans.

After coming out of Emperor Ji Han's palace and returning to the post house, Qin Bo did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately sent a messenger to the State of Wu to report this important news.

What Qin Bo didn't know was that the messenger he sent had just set off, but the servant She Li Fu sent by the emperor of the Han Dynasty was already walking on Ziwu Road.

Among all the roads from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, Ziwu Road is the most difficult, but it is the closest to Chang'an.

In order to reach Chang'an as soon as possible, Li Fu did not hesitate to take this most difficult road.

The terrain of Ziwu Valley is dangerous and rugged, so people are not allowed to ride horses and can only walk.

And there was a section where there was no water source, or in other words, there was not enough water source for the army.

Even in spring, when the winter snow melts for the first time, there are only some small springs emerging in the mountains occasionally.

But for Li Fu, since the number of people in the team is not too large, these small springs are enough.

Even so, Li Fu and others also walked away in a bit of embarrassment, having to change their wide-sleeved robes into tight-fitting daily clothes with narrow sleeves.

When Li Fu and his party came out of the valley, someone was already waiting at the entrance of the valley:

"The last general, Guan Suo, was ordered by the general to conquer the west, and he came here to greet the angel."

Li Fu hadn't thought about who Guan Suo was at first, but when he heard about General Zhengxi, he immediately reacted:

"It turns out to be General Guan Huwei under General Zhengxi, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Seeing the stern and handsome young general in front of him again, Li Fu couldn't help but admired again:

"Everyone knows that General Zhengxi has a good understanding of people, and all his subordinates are talented people. He is sincere and will not deceive me!"

The unsmiling General Guan showed a rare smile when he heard this:

"Angel is a reward. Angel has come a long way and has to cross a dangerous road. He must be tired. In the end, the general has arranged food and lodging. Angel please."

Li Fu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, General Guan, please wait for me some hot food and soup. After I finish eating, I have to go see the Prime Minister immediately."

Li Fu is not young anymore, and his face is full of exhaustion during this trip.

It's just that he was ordered by the emperor to see the prime minister as soon as possible on this trip, but he was not willing to delay for a moment.

Guan Suo saw that he persisted in this, so he had to have the soup prepared in advance served.

Li Fu couldn't care less about etiquette at this time, but seeing him wolfing down the food, he couldn't wait to ask Guan Suo to lead the way to Chang'an City.
