"The king, such a military event, how dare the minister lie, the battle report is here, please take a look at it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Wang Fu presented the silk book in his hand with both hands.

Gou Jian's hands began to tremble a little, strode down the stairs, and snatched the silk book battle report from Wang Fu's hand, looking anxious.

After only a few glances, the last glimmer of hope left on Gou Jian's face was gone, leaving only endless horror and endless anger.

"Tao thief, you are really a traitor, this king is actually ......" Gou Jian gritted his teeth with hatred, and his lips were bitten out of tooth marks.

The information was clearly written, and Gou Jian at this time suddenly realized and understood everything.

It turned out that from the beginning of the pottery merchants, the target to be destroyed was not Cao Cao, but him, the king of Shu.

In order to achieve the goal of attacking the east and the west, the pottery merchant can be said to have exhausted his scheming, first to the Nanyang line to mobilize troops and horses, put on a posture of about to destroy Qin, and then sent Su Qin to come, pretending to join forces to deal with Cao Cao and carve up the Qin State, and at the same time sent Xizuo to spread rumors everywhere in Nanzhong, saying that Meng Huo secretly colluded with Cao Cao, and as a result, he led a large army to the south to conquer Meng Huo, and neglected the defense of the Three Gorges fish belly.

At this time, the pottery merchant took advantage of his unpreparedness and pretended to attack Cao Cao, but the soldiers and horses who had entered the front line of Jingzhou suddenly diverted to the west, crossed the Three Gorges, and broke through the belly of the fish in one fell swoop, opening the door to Shu.

All these calculations are extremely deceitful, and they are so seamless that Gou Jian can't even think of it even if he wants to break his scalp.

Suddenly, Gou Jian raised his head, and his angry eyes glared at Fa Zheng, who was also shocked.

There was already a hint of complaint in his eyes.

You know, at the beginning, he decided to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and sit and watch the potters fight with Cao Cao.

If that happens, his army will not be transferred to Nanzhong, and even if the potters raid, he may not lose the belly of the fish.

But Fa Zheng offered a plan, prompting him to lead the main force south, and the army in the country was empty, giving the potters an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Ahem-" Fa Zheng coughed a few times, and his eyebrows also showed a little embarrassment and shame, and he didn't know how to respond to Gou Jian's annoyed gaze for a while.

At this time, Huang Quan hurriedly persuaded: "King, the current situation is no more obvious, the goal of the pottery thief is clearly to destroy my Dashu, please return to the north as soon as possible, and go to Jiangzhou to block the Wei army." ”

Gou Jian's expression moved, he nodded slightly, and he was ready to adopt Huang Quan's strategy, and his hands were already raised, ready to order the withdrawal of troops.

"Why, my lord!" However, Fa Zheng suddenly spoke out again and expressed his opposition.

Gou Jian's brows froze, and his puzzled eyes glared at Fa Zheng.

Huang Quan's face also sank, and he said hurriedly: "Fa Xiaozhi, the intention of the pottery thief is already obvious, that is, to destroy our Dashu, Jiangzhou is an important town in the east of Chengdu, if this city is lost, Chengdu is in danger, if you don't return to Jiangzhou at this time, what are you waiting for?" ”

Gou Jian's gaze shot at Fa Zheng, obviously Huang Quan's words were also in line with his heart, and he also wanted to see if Fa Zheng was in a hurry.

In the face of Huang Quan's questioning, Fa Zheng had already regained his self-confidence and calmness, and after a sneer, he said slowly: "In order to avoid startling the snake, the pottery thief must advance lightly with thousands of elite soldiers in order to succeed in the raid on the belly of the fish. ”

After a pause, Fa Zheng continued: "The pottery thief can't raid the county successfully, so he can only wait for the follow-up main force to come to rendezvous, and it will take at least ten days to come, and this time is enough for us to pacify the southern barbarians in one fell swoop, so the king, now is definitely not the time to withdraw the troops." ”

Fa Zheng's words seemed to be reasonable and well-founded, and gradually made Gou Jian calm down and start thinking about the current situation again.

The reason why he was shocked before was that he didn't expect the Tao Chamber of Commerce to raid the belly of the fish, and he was shocked for a while, so he lost his sense of proportion.

At this time, calm down, and think about it carefully, it seems that the situation is not as grim as he thought.

Isn't it just that the belly of the fish has fallen and thousands of soldiers and horses have been lost?

You must know that the difficulty of Shu Road is not a waste of fame, and it is by no means a single Three Gorges, which can include the dangers of Shu.

The Three Gorges was lost, there was still Tongxian County, and there was Jiangzhou, an important town, how could he give up such a great opportunity to pacify Nanzhong because of a momentary panic.

Seeing Gou Jian's hesitation, Fa Zheng secretly glanced at Zhang Song, who was good friends with him.

Zhang Song hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "King, although the pottery thief is a traitor, but the current situation has been controlled by us, now the conquest of Nanban is in front of us, if we do not conquer Nanban, we will face off with the pottery thief in the future, Nanban will become a hidden danger, it is better to seize this great opportunity, calm it down in one fell swoop, and then withdraw to deal with the invasion of the pottery thief is not too late." ”

Gou Jian was silent, stood up, and paced through the lobby with his hands in his hands, falling into deep thought.

After pondering for a long time, Gou Jian suddenly turned around, brushed his hand and said: "Okay, according to your and filial piety, first focus on pacifying the Nanban, and don't return to the division for the time being." ”

Fa Zheng and Zhang Song glanced at each other, and they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Huang Quan said again: "King, even if we don't return to Jiangzhou with all our divisions, but the pottery thieves are too treacherous, just in case, at least we have to add some troops and horses to Jiangzhou." ”

The voice fell, and Fa Zheng hurriedly said: "King, we still have more than 15,000 soldiers and horses in Chengdu, and the minister Baoju Li Yan led 10,000 soldiers and horses to strengthen Jiangzhou. ”

Li Yan, Meng Da, Fa Zheng and others are all talented, but in the era of "Liu Zhang", they are not allowed to be reused, but they are "Gou Jian" with a good eye for talent, and they are all promoted and entrusted with important tasks.

Gou Jian already admired Li Yan very much, and now he was recommended by Fa Zheng, and immediately remembered it, so he happily adopted it, and urgently asked people to go to Chengdu, spread that Li Yan commanded 10,000 troops, and went to Jiangzhou to join Meng Da to resist the Wei army.

After the edicts were handed down, Gou Jian's expression returned to self-confidence and calmness, looking at the direction of Jiangzhou, and snorted coldly: "Tao thief, do you think that with a treacherous plan, you can destroy my Dashu, let you have a good taste of the difficult taste of Shu, hum!" ”

……

Tong County, East Gate.

5,000 Jiangzhou soldiers and horses have been stationed in this city, and under the supervision of Meng Da, they are strengthening the city defenses day and night, preparing to deal with the future attack of the Wei army.

This is the first time in more than ten years that the boundaries of Jiangzhou have been threatened by war, and these Shu soldiers who have been in Jiangzhou for a long time are a little unable to adapt to it for a while.

It is no wonder that although Jiangzhou City is the same as Nanzheng, it is an important town in the east of Gongwei Shu, but because its rear is the hinterland of Chengdu, and there is the danger of the Three Gorges where the fish belly city is located in the east, although its strategic position is important, it has rarely been affected by the war.

These Jiangzhou soldiers, who were accustomed to peaceful days and had almost forgotten how the word "war" was written, could only be uneasy at the moment, carrying soil and stones to repair the city wall, and carrying arrows and other things to defend the city, and hurriedly moving them to the city.

At the head of the city, Meng Da stood with his sword in his hand, his cold eyes coldly scanning the busy soldiers on the left and right, as well as the remnants of the defeated soldiers who were fleeing into the city one after another, and the people in front of the city.

These people were all soldiers and civilians who had fled from Pingjiang, Quren and other eastern cities, and fled to Jiangzhou with their families because they were afraid of the "ferocity" of the Wei army.

Everyone who fled to the city of Tongxian County breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they had entered the scope of Tongxian County, and when they saw the big banner of the word "Meng" on the head of the city, they were even more relieved.

"It turns out that General Meng has also arrived in Tong County, so we have nothing to fear."

"General Meng is the real general in our Shu, and even the king praises him as a famous general in the world."

"Let's flee to General Meng's territory, and we will no longer be afraid of the Wei army."

……

Meng Da, who was standing at the head of the city, listened to the remarks of the soldiers and civilians who had returned from fleeing, and looked at the respectful eyes, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and there was a trace of imperceptible pride.

"Hmph, the king is too, if I had included Padang County in my jurisdiction earlier, how could the pottery thief capture the fish belly so easily......"

Meng Da muttered in his heart, the arrogance in his eyebrows was even stronger, faintly, revealing a little disdain for Wei and the potters, as well as self-confidence in his own talent and strength.

In the middle of his thoughts, in his field of vision, on the official road in the east, a large puff of dust suddenly rose.

Meng Da's nerves immediately became alert, and when he looked closely, he saw people moving in the dust and mist, and it seemed that there was clearly an army of seven or eight hundred people, which was rapidly approaching the city gate.

"Which city's defeated army fled again?" This thought flashed through Meng Da's mind for the first time.

This is not unusual, in the past two days, there has been a steady stream of defeated soldiers and soldiers fleeing from the eastern counties, and Meng Da has become accustomed to it.

However, this time, there were as many as seven or eight hundred defeated soldiers, which aroused Meng Da's alarm, and he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, and when the identity of the incoming soldiers was determined, they were released into the city.

The order was handed down, the city gate was closed, the drawbridge was lowered, and the Shu soldiers at the head of the city all entered their respective posts and entered a state of waiting.

Under Meng Da's cold gaze, the dust and mist gradually approached, and the seven or eight hundred soldiers quickly rushed to the east gate and were blocked in front of the moat.

This army of soldiers and horses, sure enough, were all wearing their own clothes and armor, and they were also under the banner of the Shu army, and they were all stained with blood, and the banners were also tattered, obviously they fled in defeat.

Meng Da swept it carefully and found the "Gao" character general flag, theoretically, this army should be Gao Pei's subordinates.

"Could it be that Gao Pei is still alive?"

Meng Da's expression moved, his expression was a little surprised, but he did not order to open the city gate at the first time, but asked loudly: "This army of soldiers and horses under the city, which way are you, and where is the lord?" ”

Under the city, the noisy defeated soldiers of the Shu army soon quieted down, and their eyes looked towards the general.

The Shu general, under the protection of the general's personal guards, passed through the crowd and arrived in front of the moat.

After taking a light breath, the Shu general shouted towards the city: "Mencius, I am Gao Pei, open the city gate and let me in." ”

Sure enough, it's Gao Pei!
