In the mountains of Sichuan, Shu and Brazil, it was Liu Dan and his party who were staggering northward.

Burning the enemy's grain and grass has always been the most common strategy and tactic to attack the enemy, and many historical battles have changed the final strategic direction because of the problem of grain and grass.

Liu Dan naturally knows this, not only knows, but if he talks about it, he will be like a few family treasures, those people, where and because of something, will eventually lead to the problem of food and grass, at least they can talk about it for an hour without drinking water.

But it was his turn to do it himself......

How the hell did the rear camp catch fire?

Liu Dan still can't figure it out.

When he led thousands of men and horses over Bashan and entered the county of Brazil, he also imagined what he would encounter, how he would fight the enemy, and what kind of generals he would meet......

Liu Dan seemed to have thought about everything, but he never expected that he would be defeated like this because of an ordinary fire and a bland raid.

Now when he thinks of this, Liu Dan feels that the whole province is hot, and his head is buzzing.

It's a great shame!

The soldiers who followed Liu Dan to the west also felt that it was a great shame, and they scolded endlessly behind their backs. When Liu Dan was attacked by a surprise attack, he lost his sense of proportion, resulting in the failure to issue orders, which eventually aggravated the chaos, and fled in defeat.

Practice brings true knowledge, Liu Dan, a scholar, was slapped hard by the cruel reality.

However, these soldiers who followed Liu Dan to the north did not have much energy to slander Liu Dan now, and it was like a nightmare to walk through the mountains and woodlands, and they had consumed too much energy and physical strength. During the march, the team of more than 1,000 people was gloomy and miserable, and no one could afford to beat up half of their spirits.

In Sichuan and Shu, between the mountains and wilderness, it looks like green mountains and green waters, but it is really like hell in it.

In the current era, although the mountains in the Sichuan-Shu region are not very high, the grass is deep and the forests are dense, and the so-called official road is just a winding and undulating mountain road along the direction of the river and stream.

The soldiers walking in front need to keep using their spears to hit the grass next to the mountain road, and they also need to use knives to cut off the hanging vines or something, otherwise there may be some highly poisonous insects in the grass, and there is no medicine to treat them when they bite them, so they can only wait for death.

There are snakes not only in the grass, but also in the treetops.

Bamboo leaf green is the most favorite poisonous snake entrenched on the tree, often hanging or entangled in the branches, mixed with the leaves or moss on the tree, unless you look closely, you can't see it at all. If it's good in the middle of the day, in the evening, these poisonous snakes begin to hunt, and are most active at night, and these little ones are all short-sighted, and can only use their tongues to detect vibrations near and far......

In addition, there are a large number of flying insects, poisonous insects, if it is not close to winter, there are already many insects in the mountains and forests that have begun to enter the dormant period, I am afraid that Liu Dan and others will do this, the casualties will at least double again, and it is not impossible for the whole army to be wiped out.

"Hold on! Climb over a mountain and you'll be at the cottage! ”

Liu Dan shouted in a hoarse voice.

The soldiers who followed forward were all tossed by the mountains and forests of Sichuan and Shu, and no one answered, just gritted their teeth and moved forward.

"There is food in the cottage in front! When you get there, you can eat it! Liu Dan roared hoarsely, "Hold on a little longer!" Don't be left behind! It's come so far! Look at each other! ”

A slight response from a few soldiers responded.

Liu Dan was also very helpless, and the lost military heart could only be pulled back little by little.

Line after line.

Unexpectedly, the battle situation was unpredictable, Liu Dan fled north, only walked for two nights and one day, and when the second day came, Ma Heng's men came after him and sent the latest military information urgently.

The Sichuan and Shu army that attacked Liu Dan was defeated by Ma Heng and Wei Yan!

Liu Dan couldn't believe his eyes when he received this military information......

Ma Heng said that Hanchang was obviously already strong, and it was very difficult to continue the offensive, so he was currently leading his troops to prepare for a round with Liu Dan, and then retreat to Hanzhong to regroup the queue, and then find another opportunity to attack Brazil.

After Liu Dan received this military information, his originally buzzing brain suddenly cleared up, and he quickly made a decision, he couldn't just retreat!

Since Ma Heng has defeated the Sichuan and Shu troops who came to raid, it is equivalent to one defeat on both sides, undefeated and undefeated, and a draw, so if he withdraws from Brazil County, isn't it equivalent to being defeated without defeat?

Therefore, Liu Dan announced the news, clearly emphasizing that Ma Hengshi had won a big victory under his orders, in order to boost morale, and also sent soldiers to leave marks around the area to facilitate the collection of scattered soldiers, and then speed up to the cottage in the most advanced Sichuan, waiting for the arrival of Ma Heng and others, and also sent soldiers back to Hanzhong to requisition grain and grass......

After this distribution, watching the soldiers respond and go to work separately, Liu Dan felt that the stuffiness in his heart was somewhat expressed, and he slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

I must not return to Hanzhong with a defeated title!

Absolutely not!

People will always find all kinds of hopes and excuses for themselves, and perhaps it is precisely because of this that human beings may still have the motivation to struggle in desperate situations.

Maybe Liu Dan is not very good in some aspects, but on the way to escape, Liu Dan at least did what a commander should do, to appease people's hearts and encourage them to move forward, instead of complaining about this and cursing that like an old mother, especially after getting the news of Ma Heng, the originally somewhat sluggish and lost military heart gradually calmed down.

The military food was originally difficult to transport in the Sichuan Shu Mountain Road, so it was transported from the advance cottage built by Wei Yan in Bashan at the beginning, so when Liu Dan and others struggled to return to the cottage where they originally set off, they were lucky to find that there were still some military rations that had not had time to be transported, so they became the life-saving food and grass for Liu Dan and others.

There are always accidents of one kind or another, maybe one second is hell, the next second is heaven, although they are all going to die, at least the place of death is different.

Liu Dan repaired for another two days, and Ma Heng and others also came back.

When Ma Heng's banner appeared on the mountain road, Liu Dan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then quickly raised it again, because he saw Wei Yan in the queue, and naturally saw the pride on Wei Yan's face.

Seeing Ma Heng's banner appear, Liu Dan's soldiers here cheered one after another, beckoning to Ma Heng and the others, and some even began to slap their blades in greeting, while Ma Heng on the other side was quite stable and did not have any special performance, but Wei Yan behind him raised his hand and beckoned.

"I've seen the envoy ......" Ma Heng stepped forward to salute, and then said, "I'm fortunate to see that the envoy is fine, and a certain heart is ......."

Wei Yan also stepped forward and said, "I've seen the envoy." ”

Liu Dan smiled brightly and stretched out his hand to signal: "No need to be polite, both of them have made great contributions, and a certain has been recorded, after this battle, they should be rewarded!" ”

"Thank you."

Ma Heng glanced at him, was humble and polite, which made Liu Dan feel a lot more relaxed.

Liu Dan's eyes turned to Wei Yan slightly, but he saw Wei Yan standing silently aside, as if he hadn't heard Liu Dan's words at all.

"Hehe......" Liu Dan smiled, and then said, "You two might as well rest in the cottage for a ...... or two."

Wei Yan seemed to have something to say, but he was blocked by Ma Heng, and when he saw Ma Heng's eyes again, he retracted his foot that took half a step, and then together with Ma Heng, he disbanded the soldiers and prepared to rest.

"Uncle, please stay!"

Ma Heng and Wei Yan hadn't gone far before they heard Liu Dan's guards shouting to stay. The two glanced at each other, then Ma Heng gestured slightly, Wei Yan nodded, and separated.

"Calling so-and-so?" Ma Heng and Liu Dan saw each other again.

"Come on, Shu Chang, don't be polite, sit, sit, don't be polite......" Liu Dan smiled, pulled Ma Heng's arm and said, "I knew that Uncle Chang had a strategy, and now it is true, with this outstanding feat, the future is immeasurable......"

"The king has won the award, Heng is just a coincidence...... Ma Heng glanced at Liu Dan and arched his hand, "...... If there is no ruler, how can it be victorious? ”

Liu Dan was obviously relieved, and immediately said categorically: "Uncle Chang doesn't have to be too humble!" This battle uncle is often the first merit! ”

Ma Heng arched his hand and did not continue to excuse himself.

Liu Dan's smile became brighter and brighter, and after a pause, he said, "Uncle often thinks that the current situation is okay?" ”

Ma Heng hesitated for a moment, he knew in his heart why Liu Dan couldn't linger here, which was also the reason why he was willing to give part of the credit to Liu Dan.

Liu Dan was naturally not stupid, and immediately said that he would repay the peach, but the problem was that Liu Dan didn't want to just get a peach, but also wanted to get a peach forest and make up for the previous losses......

Ma Heng pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Envoy, Hanchang has been fortified and cleared, there are no people along the way, the mountain road is circling, and it is easy to get down...... Now that it is winter, our army is short of food and grass, and it will be defeated...... If you don't retreat, repair the soldiers, and find an opportunity to cut again. ”

"......" Liu Dan stroked his beard and didn't speak, really reluctant in his heart.

“…… If you want to capture Hanchang, you can't do it......" Ma Heng looked at Liu Dan's face and continued, "...... But it's not hard to just ask for one more win......"

Liu Dan suddenly came to his senses, and looked at Ma Heng with eager anticipation.

Ma Heng leaned forward slightly, leaned in front of Liu Dan, and whispered......

Liu Dan listened, pondered for a while, and finally nodded and said: "In this way, let's follow Uncle's usual strategy!" ”

Ma Heng left Liu Dan and went to Wei Yan.

"Wei Sima, have you rested?"

"Ma Zhizhong, please!"

Wei Yan walked out of the tent, and then invited Ma Heng to sit inside.

Before attacking Brazil, three cottages were taken in a row, and naturally there were some soldiers and some supplies, although not much, but these only remaining materials became a life-saving straw at this moment, otherwise don't even think about what tents there can be.

"Do you still want to win?" Wei Yan didn't hide much, and asked with disdain.

Ma Heng nodded.

Wei Yan let out a "ha".

Ma Heng glanced at Wei Yan and said, "However, the envoy also agreed to Wen Chang's plan to lure the enemy...... After the leader of the army is broken, if there is a need, it will be agreed. ”

It can't be said that Liu Dan represents stupidity, idiocy, or a decline in IQ that breaks through the bottom limit or something, because who doesn't have a utilitarian heart? It's more or less, so utilitarianism is not a big problem, the problem is that Liu Dan overestimated his strength before, and he was more pressed.

If Liu Dan did not have a utilitarian heart, he would definitely not accept the temptation of Fei Qian, the general of the expedition to the west, and he would not be full-fledged, of course, perhaps when Liu Dan thought that his wings were full, he would immediately wave his army south.

Ma Heng can understand, but understanding is understanding, and whether he is willing to support it in his heart is another matter. But at the same time, Ma Heng also knew that General Feiqian of Zhengxi still needed Liu Dan, because this Liu Dan was an excuse for General Zhengxi to extend his tentacles into Sichuan and Shu, and control the whole situation on the so-called "brotherly dispute", not "foreign invasion", so that at least in some aspects, some resistance in Sichuan and Shu could be avoided.

Another victory, so that Liu Dan will not lose face, not only saves Liu Dan's face, but also maintains the reputation of the expedition to the west, and at the same time gives the Sichuan and Shu people a lesson, and it is also convenient for the next stage or battle, or talk......

Ma Heng looked at Wei Yan and said softly: "Wen Chang, this matter is important, can you be sure?" ”

Wei Yan laughed, patted his chest and said, "Foolproof!" Please rest assured that it is! ”

Ma Heng's gaze stayed on Wei Yan for a moment, nodded and said, "It's good if Wen Chang is sure...... Liu Dan has a utilitarian heart, isn't Wei Yan there? If not, Wei Yan would be so desperate?

Wei Yan nodded.

"Tomorrow, the envoy will grant Wen Chang the position of general to lead the three armies......," Ma Heng said lightly, "In addition...... A certain place where 200 people are left in the north 20 miles, and the banner is scattered, if it wins, it is naturally excellent, if it is...... It can also be used as a suspicious soldier...... "Thinking about defeat before thinking about victory, thinking about defeat has always been the most important point of marching operations."

Wei Yan "snapped" with both hands, and bowed his hands: "Thank you for taking care of the government!" When it comes to the effectiveness of substitution! ”

Ma Heng stood up, patted Wei Yan's shoulder and said, "It's not for a certain person, but for Zhengxi...... Tomorrow, I will return to the north with the envoy, and here, I will hand it over to you...... Be careful, if you can't do it, retreat is ......"

Wei Yan sent Ma Heng out of the tent, and his heart fluctuated, and it was difficult to calm down.

Finally able to lead the army on its own!

This means that Wei Yan has finally moved from the middle and low-level non-commissioned officers to the middle and high-level general class!

Wei Yan clenched his fists excitedly, looking at the mountains in the distance, his eyes seemed to be shining with brilliant colors under the light of the setting sun......
