ps: I continue to recommend Chang Huanhua¡¯s new book "Super Ambiguous Master", there is no limit to how you can pretend to be flirtatious.
When Liu Bei and Sima Yi heard the news that Nanzheng was defeated and Zhang Lu died, they were shocked. Sima Yi admonished: "My lord, there is a shortage of food and grass at Fushui Pass. If we only defend Fushui Pass, our 60,000 troops may not be able to get out for half a month." Then he reported that the food supply was out. For the current plan, he could move to Zitong City, and then send generals to guard Jiameng Pass and Fushui Pass. This would not only relieve the worry of the army's food supply, but also have room to move. Jiameng Pass to Fushui Pass is three hundred meters away. There are more than 500,000 people in the area, so I can forcefully recruit all the young and strong people for my use. In this way, I can get 100,000 horses, which can temporarily hold this place."
"Forcing a strong man to force him is not a benevolent and righteous act!" Liu Xuande still had a poker face that showed no emotion or anger.
"At this point, you and I are in dire straits, how can we care about benevolence and righteousness!" Sima Yi sighed: "My lord, please forgive me, because Lu Bu controls the world's public opinion, and under the false talk of his gang, you have become You are a hypocrite who pretends to be benevolent and righteous. Everyone in Yizhou believes that you were the one who harmed Tao Qian in the first place. They all thought that you would harm Liu Zhang in Yizhou. Such is the public sentiment. And my lord, you have only been in Yizhou for a short time, so how can you win the trust of the people in Yizhou? People, if this is the case, why should we sympathize with these ordinary people who are afraid of power and have no morals?"
"How can an unstable Shu army of 60,000 soldiers, plus a hundred thousand civilians made of straw, compete with Lu Bu's battle-hardened warriors?" Liu Bei still had some self-awareness about himself.
"Lord, we only need to hold on for the time being. Then we will send people to the southern barbarians and Qiang areas, bribe the tribal leaders with generous sums of money, and let them send troops to attack Lu Bu's rear. Only when Lu Bu divides his troops to resist, can we take advantage of it!" Sima Yi! Suddenly something came to mind: "I heard that Lu Bu wanted to become emperor. Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and other great Han officials will be loyal to the Han Dynasty. If we send people to persuade them to rebel, if we attack Luoyang, there will be chaos in Lu Bu's territory. We will take advantage of the chaos." Take the opportunity."
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked: "With Zhongda's intention, who should be sent to guard the two passes?"
"Liu Zhang is dead, and all of Liu Zhang's generals have surrendered to Lu Bu, and they have all received large sums of money and titles. I am worried that Liu Gui, Deng Xian, Yang Huai, and Zhuoying will all be tempted to surrender to the enemy. My lord can only send General Guan Yu to guard Fushui now. Guan Yi will be the main force of Lu Bu. Send General Zhang Fei to guard Jiameng Pass to be the main force of Huang Zhong. The lord will be stationed in Zitong to rescue him in time." When Sima Yi told Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he was worried. The two brothers of the lord are braver than they are brave. But each has its own shortcomings, and I'm afraid Lu Bu will take advantage of their shortcomings to quickly break through these two passes. But now it's a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so we can only send two of them.
"Then who should be sent to bribe the Nanman and Shengqiang, and who should be sent to persuade Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun?" Liu Bei asked again.
"Chen Qunfeng is handsome and has the demeanor of a famous scholar. He will definitely be respected by the barbarians. If he goes there, he will get twice the result with half the effort and he will definitely be able to complete the task. Yi Ji is eloquent. You can go to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun." Sima Yi sighed secretly, Lord's account The talents of the servants are withering, and they are far behind compared with Lu Bu.
Zhang Ji stayed in Nanzheng and was responsible for mobilizing military resources. Huang Zhong, Zhuge Liang, Zhang He, Ma Chao, and Pang De led the troops to Jiameng Pass.
Zhuge Liang pointed to Jiameng Pass and sighed: "Jiameng Pass has jade barriers on its peaks. The ground is connected to Jincheng, the sword pavilion is connected to Jiameng, and it is located in Jialing and is pillowed by the white water. It is a truly magnificent place set by nature."
Zhang He added: "What Jiang Jun said is absolutely true. Jiameng Pass is an important transportation route between Qin and Shu. It is where the Jialing River and Bailong River meet. It leads to Hanzhong by land, down to Chengdu, and down the Jialing River, it can reach the important town of Langzhong in Brazil. Geographically The location is very important. If you get this pass, you can strangle Liu Bei by the throat. But in front of and behind this pass, there are overlapping mountains, dangerous rocks and cliffs, and dense trees. It is steep and majestic. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I am afraid that it will be no less difficult to capture than Yangping Pass. "
Zhuge Liang sighed: "In the fifth year of King Shen of Zhou Dynasty, King Ba and King of Shu had a feud. King Qin Hui took the opportunity to send Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo to attack Shu. The Qin army traveled southwest from Xianyang, passed Qipanguan and entered Sichuan and Shu, passing by Chaotianyi When I walked through Jianmen Pass, I was blocked. There was a fierce battle at Jiameng Pass. The battle was very fierce. I think Sima Yi should have made arrangements here." Zhuge Liang originally despised Sima Yi, but after Yangping Pass, he began to treat this bereaved dog As a real opponent.
Not long after, deputy army officer Huang Quan arrived and brought the latest news from the Military Intelligence Department: "Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei with 20,000 troops."
"Zhang Fei? What a reckless man!" Zhang He met Zhang Fei several times in his early years and looked down upon this brave and foolhardy man.
Zhuge Liang shook his head gently and said: "General Junyi, don't underestimate Zhang Fei. This person has followed Liu Bei for a long time and suffered many defeats. Suffering makes people grow. He now occasionally follows Sima Yi to learn military skills and has a calm personality." Quite a few, once a reckless man becomes smart, he should not be underestimated."
Huang Zhong agrees with Zhuge Liang's view. He used to be a brave and foolhardy man. Since he followed his lord, he often participated in the battle training organized by his lord. The lord and other military advisors worked together.The routine military literacy training made Huang Zhong improve rapidly, and he gradually changed from a general to a handsome man.
Ma Chao chuckled lightly and said: "Kong Ming, by saying this, are you a bit too ambitious for others to destroy your own prestige?"
Zhuge Liang looked serious: "Brother Meng Qi, do you still remember that our foster father once told us that when facing the enemy, we must fully estimate the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, and do not underestimate the enemy's strengths, let alone overestimate them?" Assess the enemy's disadvantages."
"I still remember that we should despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically" Ma Chao smiled and said: "Aren't we discussing strategic issues now?"
Pang De laughed and said: "Meng Qi, what we are discussing now seems to be how to attack Jiameng Pass. This is a tactical issue." Since Pang De no longer calls Ma Chao his young master, their friendship has become much more sincere than before. .
"No matter whether Zhang Fei is stupid or smart now, we must attack Jiameng Pass." Ma Chao didn't understand why he wasted time discussing Zhang Fei's IQ.
"Based on the danger of Jiameng Pass and Zhang Fei's military experience, we can only outwit, but not attack." Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Meng Qi listens to the order, you first lead five thousand cavalry to the front of the pass to confront Zhang Fei. Once touched, this man is very confident in his martial arts, Meng Qi, you try his skills first!"
"De Ling!" Ma Chao is not a person who likes to talk. He prefers to use actions instead of words instead of thoughts. This is why Lu Bu still doesn't feel comfortable letting him take charge alone.
Ma Chao led three thousand cavalry to the front of Jiameng Pass. Zhang Fei took a look at the gate. Ma Chao was leaping on his horse with a white horse, a silver spear, a lion helmet and a beast belt. He had outstanding talents and brilliant armor. Zhang Fei looked at himself again and was dressed in black. A feeling of shame arose in his heart. This feeling made Zhang Fei very angry. If possible, he would like to kill all the pretty boys in the world who are more handsome than him. Of course, there is one pretty boy who he has neither the chance nor the courage to do in his life. The person to be killed was Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian. If Lu Bu couldn't kill him, couldn't I kill this pretty boy?
Zhang Fei saw that Ma Chao only had 3,000 men, and they were all cavalry. It seemed that he wanted to challenge him in a duel, just as Ma Chao cursed: "Thief with ring eyes, eunuch Zhang, I heard that your marksmanship is good, so I came here to meet you." If I could stab you to death with one shot, I would save you the effort of attacking the city."
Zhang Fei was rough on the outside and subtle on the inside, so he left his lieutenant Liu Yan to lead the troops to defend the city. He led 6,000 men out of the city because he could see that Ma Chao's 3,000 men were elite soldiers, and most of the men he led were strong men brought in temporarily. , If there is a melee later, if I lead three thousand troops, I will definitely not be my opponent.
Zhang Fei waved his eight-foot-long spear and galloped his black horses to the front of the battle: "Ma Chao and Ma Meng Qi found a cheap father and came here to show off their power!" Zhang Fei was mocking Ma Chao for recognizing Lu Bu as his adoptive father. behavior.
Ma Chao suddenly became furious: "You are a butcher, but you dare to laugh at me. Let me teach you the eighteen ways to kill a pig!"
Zhang Fei has always been inferior to his origin, so he worked hard to learn calligraphy and painting, and followed the tricks of the children of the aristocratic family, just to prevent others from despising him because of his origin. In fact, everything he did did not cause much concern to the children of the aristocratic family. Respect, at least Liu Ba didn't take him seriously.
Zhang Fei was furious when he heard that Ma Chao was talking about his origin. He brandished his eight-foot-long snake spear and fought with Ma Chao's gold-tipped tiger head spear.
The two have been fighting together for more than fifty years, and Ma Chao can already tell that if he hadn't been reminded by his adoptive father, he would definitely have an endless fight with Zhang Fei.
Ma Chaolai wanted to cheer up and assassinate Zhang Fei, but this would take at least two hundred rounds.
Huang Zhong stood on the high ground several miles away, holding up his telescope to look at everything on the battlefield in front of him. He nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Meng Qi's marksmanship is more exquisite, his physical strength is stronger, and his momentum is no less than that of Zhang Fei. This Every battle must be won!¡±
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, shook his head slightly and said: "This battle is unwinnable. We must withdraw our troops after a hundred rounds."
Huang Zhong was stunned: "Why is this?"
"If we want to break into Jiameng Pass, we must do this to make Zhang Fei get carried away. After Zhang Fei is proud, he will not be so calm. Only then can we take advantage of it and keep him away from Jiameng Pass."
When the fight reached 100 rounds, a loud gong sounded in the central military formation. Although Ma Chao was determined to fight dozens more rounds and stab Zhang Fei to death, the military orders were overwhelming, so he could only feint his shot and jump out of the circle with his horse.
Zhang Fei knew that his mission was to defend Jiameng Pass, so when he saw Ma Chao returning, he did not pursue him.
Ma Chao had a full lunch, discussed with Zhuge Liang, Huang Quan, Huang Zhong, Zhang He and others, and agreed to act according to Zhuge Liang's plan.
In the afternoon, Ma Chao went to challenge the battle again and uttered wild words: "It wasn't Zhuge who joined the army to cause trouble just now. He asked for gold to withdraw his troops. In fifty rounds, I will stab you."You can't get off the horse, you're a thief with ring eyes, you're an eunuch Zhang, do you dare to get down again and die? "
Zhang Fei was furious, feeling that the helmet was too heavy and affecting his performance, so he simply threw away the helmet, wrapped only in a turban, dressed like he used to look like when he was selling meat, and went out to fight with Ma Chao.
Seeing Zhang Fei dressed like this, Ma Chao laughed loudly and said: "Huanyan thief, you are really a mountain villager who kills pigs and sells meat. You are vulgar and low-level. Why don't you take off your armor and fight with me naked!"
Zhang Fei roared angrily: "Shameless boy, with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, I will teach you a lesson for your father Ma Teng!"
The two fought for another hundred rounds, with no winner or loser.
