    As soon as Fa Zheng said this, all the generals in Xichuan suddenly came to their senses and secretly told Zhang Ren that he was narrow-minded and jealous of talented people.

    "Filial piety to you!!!"

    When Zhang Ren saw that Fazheng had misinterpreted his meaning, he became angry and furious.  Liu Bei smiled brightly and hurriedly came out to smooth things over.  As a result, all the generals in Xichuan felt that Liu Bei was broad-minded and did not stick to trivial matters.

    At this time, Zhang Ren was speechless and laughed angrily, glaring coldly at Fazheng, his former friend.  After a period of dead silence in the tent, the heated atmosphere gradually dissipated, and Zhang Ren's anger also calmed down a lot.  Fa Zheng made a ceremony and said again.

    "Although our army has won consecutive victories before, we have gathered 60,000 troops at Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong to protect Dongchuan and gather food and grass. If we can capture Dingjun Mountain and go all the way to Yangping, there is nothing to worry about. Our army will be ready immediately.  We can take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack and retake the land of Dongchuan. If we advance, we can fight against the thieves, but if we retreat, we can defend ourselves. This is why the lord sent me and Meng Ziqing to bring in a large army to help. I don¡¯t know which general is willing to take Dingjun Mountain.  ?¡±

    As soon as Fa Zheng said this, all the generals in Xichuan looked at each other with fear.  After all, Wen Han has many powerful generals under his command, and Zhao Zilong only appears once in a hundred years. He is a rare and powerful general in the world. In the world, there are no more than three people who can stand up to him.  Not long ago, Yan Yan was captured by Zhao Yun, and Hua Xiong was defeated by him and almost lost his life.

    "You're just a little thief, have nothing to fear, I'm willing to go!!"

    At this moment, under Liu Bei¡¯s table, a veteran general showed up. Everyone looked at him as Huang Zhong, the veteran who had been showing great power in recent days.  It is said that Huang Zhong has high fighting spirit and will lead his troops.

    Zhang Ren was afraid that Huang Zhong would perform extraordinary feats again and increase Liu Bei's military power, so he hurriedly stopped.

    "Wait a minute! Although the old general is brave, the reason why the old general won successive victories is because Wen Bufan retreated behind the scenes and was not on the front line. Now Wen Bufan is sitting in Dingjun Mountain, and he must not march rashly. Wen Bufan is deep  He is well versed in strategy and tactics, and is powerful in the northwest area. Even Cao Cao must be wary of fighting with him. What's more, General Huang is old and cannot fight for a long time.  This is the perfect strategy.

    Huang Zhong heard this and shouted excitedly.

    "In the past, when Lian Po was eighty years old, he still had to eat a bucket of rice and ten kilograms of good meat. The princes were afraid of his bravery and did not dare to invade the Zhao territory. What's more, Huang Zhong was not even sixty? Governor Zhang said that I was old and looked down upon him.  I don't know that in the past, I was in the northwest formation, and no one could stop me. Even Zhao Zilong was capable of fighting. Others like Pang De and Wei Yan were within San Baihe.  Can kill him!"

    Huang Zhong¡¯s every word is clang-zheng, and he speaks loudly and resonantly.  The officers and men of Xichuan all looked surprised. Zhang Ren was also taken aback. Before he could recover, he heard Fazheng laughing loudly.

    "Hahaha!!! Old General Huang has a good spirit!! If you take Dingjun Mountain, you will succeed immediately!!!"

    After finishing speaking about Fa Zheng, he looked at Liu Bei anxiously and secretly.  Liu Bei understood in his mind and spoke urgently.

    "If you don't go to war, you are showing cowardice. In my opinion, we should take advantage of our army's strong morale at this time and defeat it with one blow!!!"

    As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Ma Chao stood up and attended, holding his hands in front of him.

    "Although Chao is not talented, I am willing to work with the old general to fight against thieves!!"

    After Ma Chao finished speaking, Yan Yan and Li Yan also stood up and echoed.  The more Zhang Ren watched, the more chilled he became. Unknowingly, he seemed to have lost all authority as the governor.  Zhang Renhu's eyes widened, his heart twitched, and he shouted to Liu Bei.

    "Your Majesty, your uncle is dedicated to teaching us how to fight at Dingjun Mountain. If we make any mistakes, what should you do?"

    Zhang Ren's eyes were full of hostility, Liu Bei saw it, but said calmly.

    "If Governor Zhang is willing to hand over the army to Bei. If he cannot defeat that army, Bei is willing to offer his head as an apology!"

    Hearing this, Zhang Ren sneered in his heart.

    ¡°Uncle, you know that there is no joke in the army!!¡±

    "I have been preparing for the march for many years, how could I not know it? I am willing to write a document!!"

    "Okay! Come on, why don't you give me the Four Treasures of the Study!!!"

    Zhang Ren gave orders, and in a short time the four treasures of the study arrived. Liu Bei stepped forward with great excitement and wrote down the documents.  Zhang Ren narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

    "I hope the emperor can succeed immediately, lest I have to kill him in the future. I can't bear it!"

    "Don't worry, Governor Zhang, and we'll be waiting for the good news."

    Zhang Ren had a cold face, but Liu Bei had a smile on his face.  Zhang Ren tossed his sleeves angrily and walked away. Before leaving, he secretly cast glances with several of his close men, telling them to pay close attention to Liu Bei's every move.

    Liu Bei's owl eyes shone brightly, and he secretly looked at the faces of the Xichuan soldiers under the table. Judging from the changes in the expressions of everyone, Liu Bei knew in his heart that if he could really defeat Wen Han at the foot of Dingjun Mountain,?¡¯s prestige can be greatly increased. If you want to plan a great cause, you can respond to everything at once, and everything will come true!

    Liu Bei made a desperate move and was willing to issue a military order. Of course, he would only be willing to do it if he had a considerable reward.  Liu Bei's expression condensed, then he took out an orange bag of tips from his sleeve and looked at it carefully for a while.  There seemed to be an earth-shattering strategy in the kit, which made Liu Bei look horrified again and again.  Everyone focused their attention on Liu Bei, with curiosity in their eyes.

    After a while, Liu Bei showed a bright smile and gave Huang Zhong instructions.

    "Although Han Sheng is in his twilight years, looking at his account, only you and General Ma have the ability to resist Zhao Zilong. Now that you have taken the initiative to join the army, your fighting spirit is so high that it cannot be suppressed. However, Wen Bufan's strategy is superb, and he has both Li You and Cheng  Gong Ying serves as his wing and advises you. Don¡¯t take it lightly. I will teach you how to do it, and you will do everything according to your plan. I will not make any arbitrary decisions.¡±

    ¡°Oh!!!¡±

    Huang Zhong glared fiercely, agreed with enthusiasm, and immediately held hands with Fazheng.  Fazheng smiled broadly and returned the favor to Huang Zhong.  The two then led 10,000 horse infantry soldiers to go.  Why did Liu Bei use Huang Zhong instead of Ma Chao? Not only because Huang Zhong asked for orders first, but also because Zhuge Liang said in the brochure that Ma Mengqi was impatient and lacked patience. Although Huang Zhong was old, he was experienced and cautious.  There are many decisive people. If you want to hire someone to be the pioneer, the first choice should be Huang Zhong.

    Not long after Huang Zhong and Fazheng left, Liu Bei gave instructions to Tai Shici again.

    "Ziyi, you lead a detachment of troops and send out surprise troops from the alley to meet Han Sheng. If Han Sheng wins, there is no need to go out to fight. Just wait and see what happens. If Han Sheng makes a mistake, go to rescue him immediately. Don't make any mistakes!"

    "Hey! The last general takes orders!!"

    Tai Shici looked solemn and nodded heavily.  Liu Bei also called Meng Da and Wenpin and spoke softly.

    "You and others will each lead a group of troops and horses at the dangerous places around Dingjun Mountain, and set up many flags to strengthen the momentum of our troops, create suspicion tactics, and make the enemy suspicious."

    Meng Da and Wenpin looked at each other and accepted the order in unison.  Liu Bei issued another transfer order, and Taishi Ci, Meng Da, and Wenpin were ordered to go out and lead their troops.  Seeing that most of the soldiers under his command had missions, Ma Chao felt anxious and hurriedly spoke to Liu Bei.

    "Everyone says that the emperor's uncle has the talent to recognize people. Why are there talents but not using them now? Although I, Ma Mengqi, are not talented, I can charge into the battle and take the enemy general's leader among the thousands of troops. Why does the emperor's uncle not use it?  But you just didn¡¯t send me a military order?¡±

    Liu Bei secretly laughed in his heart. He waited for Ma Chao's words and immediately bowed to Ma Chao and said with a smile.

    "General Ma, calm down. Don't you know how brave you are? A major mission is now entrusted to you."

    Ma Chao was delighted when he heard this. He was about to show off in front of Liu Bei, and he had already gained his respect.  Ma Chao's eyes were venomous, and he had long seen that Liu Zhang was not a hegemonic hero, but just a self-defeating person.  If you follow him, you will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to return to Liangzhou.  But Liu Bei was different. This man was ambitious and clever, and was used by Zhuge Liang, the Kuai brothers, Pan, Zhang, Huang and others. He must have a conspiracy when he came to Xichuan this time.  If Liu Bei obtains the land of Shu, he will have 10% of the foundation for conquering the world, and it will not be impossible to conquer the world in the future.  At that time, Ma Chao can secretly accumulate power and use Liu Bei's support to gradually conquer Xiliang.

    Ma Chao had some thoughts in his heart. When he heard Liu Bei's plan, Ma Chao was surprised and even more admired for Liu Bei.

    Ma Chao followed the plan and went out to lead the troops.  Then Liu Bei made some arrangements, and the seats were dispersed. The other generals left without any orders.

    But it was said that Zhang Ren returned to Jiameng Pass and was listening to his confidant general's report to Liu Zhang.  Liu Zhang sent word that Zhang Ren must not offend Liu Bei, but should work together with him to fight against foreign enemies. If he makes the slightest mistake, he will be severely punished in the future!

    When Zhang Ren heard this, his face could not help but turn blue and purple, and his heart felt even colder, and he sighed secretly.

    "My lord does not distinguish between loyal and treacherous. He is close to the villain and loyal to the ministers at a distance. Liu Xuande will become unstoppable when his wings are full. I can't regret it!!!"

    Just as Zhang Ren was thinking, two more close generals came to report to Liu Bei for his deployment.  Zhang Ren listened carefully, a look of horror appeared on his face, he stood up suddenly and exclaimed.

    "Wonderful! It's really wonderful!!!"

    Zhang Ren glared wildly, seeing the three generals under the table with expressions of surprise. Only then did he realize that he had lost his composure, and quickly calmed down, but he was secretly praising in his heart.

    "Liu Xuande's arrangement is really wonderful. However, this person has absolutely no such ability. It must be Zhuge Kongming's plan. Zhuge Kongming is thousands of miles away, but he can still predict what is going on here and strategize. Liu Xuande got Zhuge Kongming's plan  Fu, if we can really get the land of Shu and cooperate with Jingxiang, it is very possible to build the hegemony of the emperor of the past! If so, it will also be a blessing to the people of Shu!"

      Zhang Ren suddenly thought of this, and a certain thought gradually came into his mind.  When this thought came to him, Zhang Ren quickly suppressed it and lost consciousness for a while.

    On the other side, Liu Zhang sent troops to help, with a total of 30,000 troops. This is almost the number of troops that Xichuan can send now.  Scouts from the northwest had already discovered it and came to report Wenhan.  When Wen Han heard that Liu Zhang had added 30,000 troops to Jiameng Pass, his eyes narrowed. Liu Zhang's move seemed not only to repel his own army, but also to regain Dongchuan.

    Hearing this, Wei Yan showed up angrily and shouted loudly.

    "Liu Jiyu has increased his army by 30,000, and he must be determined to regain Dongchuan! If my lord can annihilate all his troops and defeat Jiameng Pass, our army can go straight to Huanglong, kill Chengdu, and capture Liu Jiyu.  I am willing to take the lead in seizing Sichuan and lead 10,000 troops to unleash the might of the enemy!"

    Wei Yan shouted in unison, his whole body full of overwhelming aura, as if he couldn't wait to fight with Xichuan soldiers and horses.  Wen Han smiled calmly and said to Wei Yan.

    "It is indeed a blessing for our army that our army is blessed with a good commander. However, as a general, you should use hardness and softness to complement each other, and you should not just rely on your courage. If you are only brave, you will be the enemy of one man. If you know how to use both wisdom and courage, you will be the leader of ten thousand men.  Enemy! Now the Sichuan army has gathered together more than 50,000 to 60,000 troops. The troops are in a stalemate with our army. We must not move rashly. Let's see how to deploy them first. Then we will make moves. When their morale drops, we can sharpen the front.  If there is a reduction, the best strategy is to break it in one fell swoop!¡±

    Wei Yan was eager to make meritorious deeds. Although he knew it was reasonable, he was still restless in his heart.

    A few days later, Huang Zhong led an infantry of 10,000 horses to the foot of Dingjun Mountain, beating drums and fighting at the foot of the mountain.  When Wen Han heard about it, he, Li You and Cheng Gongying led dozens of cavalrymen to visit high on the mountain. They saw that Huang Zhong's troops were well organized. If they were to fight head-on, it would be difficult to gain an advantage.  Wen Han looked solemn and returned to the stronghold. He ordered the soldiers not to leave rashly but to stick to the stronghold.

    Seeing that there were no soldiers and horses coming out from the northwest of the mountain, Huang Zhong ordered the soldiers to yell and curse. Wave after wave of curses shook the world.

    That day, Wei Yan was furious when he heard the people yelling and scolding him in the village. He came to see Wen Han and gave him advice.

    "My lord has gathered his troops here. Although he has secured the land of Dongchuan, the real target is Xichuan. How can I build achievements by guarding this place for a long time? I hope my lord will send me to fight in the future and capture Huang Hansheng alive!!"

    When Wenhan saw that Wei Yan had come to ask for a fight again, his fighting spirit was high, and he didn't know whether he was happy or angry.  Li You knew that Wenhan didn't want to refuse in person, so he tried to persuade him.
