Chapter 29: Aiding Xishu Zhuge Ke is ingenious, exploring the path of Mazi and making the military mighty

After Liao Hua killed Xiahou Ba, he directly took Bai Huwen to his wings, and at this time, Bai Huwen was discussing the gathering of the Qiang people with Jiang Wei in the handsome tent.

"Absolutely never!" Jiang Wei said: "The army is outside, and if it is late, there will be changes, because of the fear of long nights and dreams, you and other Qiang people must gather in the wings within ten days, otherwise there will be changes." ”

"General, my Qiang tribe has always been scattered all over the grassland, some tribes are too far away from Weiying, and there are old and weak women and children, and it is really difficult to climb to the sky when they gather in Weiyi for ten days." Bai Huwen sighed: "It will take at least a month to complete the assembly. ”

Jiang Wei sighed: "King Baihu, if I don't want to, I really can't. He stood up randomly and paced back and forth in the tent for a few steps: "This trip is far away from the 20,000 Shu army, and it seems that the army is huge, but there are 10,000 troops at the Wei general Xiahouen. That Guo Huai is the history of the Western Liang Thorn of the Wei State, and there are 60,000 elites in his hands, if he is allowed to find out the truth of our army, I am afraid that not only will the soldiers of our Shu State not be able to return safely, but you and other Qiang people may also be exterminated. ”

Bai Huwen sighed: "The stakes are very high, why don't I know? However, there are many Qiang tribes, and all of them are gathered in the wings within ten days, which is really difficult to do, and I hope that the general can give a few days, and my Qiang people will set the title of grass knot ring in the future to compensate for the general's virtue today. Then he fell to his knees and cried, "Please have mercy on the general." “

Jiang Wei stretched out his hand and picked up Bai Huwen, and said, "In this case, then I can find a way to drag Guo Huai and Xia Houen for five more days, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it for a long time." ”

White Tiger Wentong nodded and said, "Thank you for General Ende." I immediately returned, gathered my troops, and asked the general to answer one or two. ”

Jiang Wei replied: "That's nature. ”

…………

When the war between Shu and Wei was in full swing, the state of Wu at this time was also in a state of anxiety.

At this time, after the prince Sun Deng and the second son Sun Wei of the state of Wu died of illness one after another, Sun Quan had to make the third son and grandson as the crown prince, but the grandson

And the weak temperament was disliked by Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, so Sun Quan named the fourth son and grandson as the king of Lu, and several times revealed that he wanted to abolish the prince and establish the king of Lu, but he was always dissuaded by a group of courtiers. After all, the order of the young and the old is a law handed down by the ancestors, and it cannot be easily changed.

But it is precisely because of the acquiescence and support of Lord Wu that the power of King Sun Ba of Lu has increased day by day, and has gradually developed to the point where he can compete with the crown prince. At present, the general Lu Xun, Cao Shangshu Gu Tan, Shaofu Wu Cang, Yunyang Hou Zhu Ju, and Weibei General Zhuge Ke are above the Wu State court

All supported the orthodoxy of the crown prince Sun He, while the general Buqi of Zhengnan, Lü Dai, the Hou of Duxiang, the Hou Quancong of Qian Tang (Note 1), the partial general Lü Ju, and the then Wuyin

Hou's grandson Ce's eldest son, Sun Hong, made it clear that he supported the succession of Sun Ba, the king of Lu. After these important ministers of the court chose their sides, their henchmen attached themselves one after another

Standing in line, the crown prince Sun He and King Lu Sun Ba gradually formed a situation of incompatibility. Above the court, the two groups of people are even more eyeing each other, basically

There was a big quarrel for three days, and a small quarrel for two days, all of them were doing everything possible to find each other's faults, trying to completely defeat each other in one step. This

cut was all in the eyes of Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

At this time, the lord of Wu was reclining on the couch, and said to Zhuge Ke, who was standing in front of him: "Yuan Xun, for the Shu Kingdom, I will be invited to fight together with Eastern Wu

What is the best plan for Wei? ”

Zhuge Ke arched his hand and said: "Since the Lord asked, Ke didn't dare not answer. According to Ke, this conquest of our Wu State must not send troops. ”

Sun Quan immediately became interested when he heard this, and sat up on the couch, and Zhuge Ke also took out the pillow and waited for him to lean more comfortably, and said: "Now that Jiang Wei of Shu has sent troops to Qishan, although he is known as 50,000 elites, in Ke's opinion, there are more than 20,000 people in Shu this time. ”

Sun Quanqi said: "Why is this? ”

Zhuge Ke said with a smile: "The reason for this war is that the Qiang people's pastures have been drought for a long time, and they have to plunder the Wei people to survive. This time the Qiang people rebelled, thinking that Cao Zhen would definitely send elite troops to quickly quell it to strengthen its might. ”

Zhuge Ke glanced at Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, and saw that Sun Quan was looking at him very attentively, and couldn't help but continue: "Now Cao Shuang of Wei sent Xiliang Taishou Guo Huai to lead the army. ”

Sun Quan said with a smile: "That being the case, I think that the Wei State must have sent troops this time, and it will be difficult for the Shu State to travel long distances." There is an alliance between Wu and Shu, and this time I will send troops to help. Yuan Xun advocated that our Eastern Wu should not send troops, and there must be a good strategy to teach me. Let's talk about it quickly. ”

"Don't dare," Zhuge Ke said: "Then since the Wei State has gone out of Guo Huai to conquer the Qiang people, the Qiang people will not be able to support it." But my Wu country is located in a remote area, and I can only ask Shu for help, if there is no reason, Shu will definitely sit idly by. However, this time, the Shu Kingdom sent the grand prize Jiang Wei to solicit it, presumably the Qiang people have already surrendered to Shu. ”

Zhuge Ke paused for a moment and said: "Therefore, the Shu State sent troops this time, called the Wei State to determine the Central Plains, but in fact, it was to receive the Qiang people into Shu. Such as me Soochow

At this time, when the Shu State receives the Qiang people back, it must be our Wu State to face the Wei State independently, which is really unwise. Therefore, according to a foolish opinion, my Wu country must not send troops. ”

Sun Quan pondered for a while, and said: "In this way, it is not the best policy for my Wu State to send troops, but there is an alliance between Wu and Shu, and it must not be ignored. ”

Zhuge Ke bowed down and said, "My lord is also high." ”

Seeing this, Sun Quan couldn't help but wave his hand and said, "How is the prince doing recently?" Is there anything out of the ordinary? ”

Zhuge Ke bowed and said: "The prince has been studying the Book of Songs with Shaofu recently, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”

Sun Quan sneered when he heard this, and said: "The three generations of the Sun family, establish the country with martial arts, serve the public with virtue, the way of poetry, is the end of the path, this time Zifan went out to herald the prince to accompany him, and he also saw more scenes." ”

"No!" Zhuge bowed in response.

The Weishui River, which originates from the Tanggula Mountains in the western part of Xiliang, is undoubtedly a mother river for the entire Xiliang grassland. Especially for the Qiang tribe who live in pursuit of water and grass, the importance of this river is simply irreplaceable. However, due to the attack of the Wei soldiers, the Qiang people had to leave their settlements and rush to the walled city, so the two sides of the river finally became quiet. No more hustle and bustle of the past.

The Surabaya Ridge is the last turning point of the Weishui River, and the long-term erosion of the river has created a long canyon here. Weishui River

After flowing through here, it flows through the Loess Plateau and the Fen River in the later world, forming the most important river in Chinese history, that is, the Yellow River. Perhaps it is precisely because of this last turning point that the water of the Weishui River is almost about to use up all the accumulated strength as if it is desperately speeding up, and the rapid water flow and the complex terrain around it make few people come to this place, even the Qiang shepherds will try to bypass this place as much as possible, because if they are not careful, the sheep will fall to the bottom and be washed away by the rapid river.

But just as it was almost noon, the quiet of the canyon was broken by the sudden sound of horses' hooves on the shore.

"Phew!" The pockmarked man in armor spit out the straw in his mouth to the side, looked at the canyon in front of him and muttered: "After this canyon, the blind ball finally doesn't have to climb these cols anymore. ”

"Third brother, you have to take it easy, the little lady of the Sun family is still waiting for you to go back and continue to toss." A very obscene-looking bearded man behind Mazi San smiled.

As soon as the lewd man's voice fell, he suddenly attracted a strange howl: "Doesn't the third brother feel that he is too tired to toss and want to replace his own brother?" With a strange cry from another soldier with loose hair, there was a dry howl.

"Straight lady thief, don't give Lao Tzu a poor mouth!" The three monsters of Mazi shouted and said, "Now it's time to the ground, Li Zhu, go and climb that mountain for Lao Tzu to see if there are any enemy ambushes!" ”

Li Zhu looked at the nearly 300-foot-long mountain, and then looked into the distance, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Shi Chang, why do you always send me to do this kind of thing?" It's their turn, right? ”

Li Zhu's words immediately provoked the anger of the public, and the rest of the people roared strangely, and then the lewd man stood up and said, "Zhuzi, words."

You can't say that, every time you go up the mountain to explore the way, and my brothers and I are not idle, every time you come down from the mountain, don't you always have a hot meal? Isn't that the credit of my brothers? ”

The soldier with his hair scattered said with a smile: "That's it, Li Zhu, you are not good at riding horses, and you have been delayed on the way."

How long do I wait? Isn't it up to you to find the way? ”

Before Li Zhu could answer, Ma Zisan was already coldly snorting: "Li Zhu, my Great Shu Kingdom uses Han laws to set military regulations, don't you hear the military orders like a mountain?" If you delay any longer, beware of me slashing you! ”

When Li Zhu saw it, he could only turn around and walk towards the foot of the mountain, but he heard Ma Zisan shouting coldly behind him: "Tie up the flag!" Then a small red flag was thrown at its feet.

In the Han Dynasty, the scout horse went out to investigate the enemy's situation, divided into several groups, and the scout in front of him tied a small red flag and walked far away, if the front scout horse encountered danger or accidents, the red flag naturally fell, and the people behind him could naturally take precautions after seeing it.

Seeing Li Zhu walking away with a small flag on his back, it wasn't until he left far away that Ma Zisan exhaled and said, "Zhao Liu, you are staring at Wang Si and waiting to find Wang Si to exchange with you, and the rest of the brothers, first sleepy and tired." ”

Zhao Liu was the lewd man, and he agreed with a smile, but the person had already leaned on a rock and half-sat down. And the one at this time

Everyone and the others all found a random place and lay on the ground crookedly, but after a while, they were already snoring loudly.
