Chapter 3 False Ways to Perish

The news that Dong Zhuo's army entered Sichuan in three ways quickly shocked the world, Yuan Shao is now the closest to Dong Zhuo's base, and he is the first prince to get the news in addition to Lu and Liu Yan, hearing the news, Yuan Shao was so happy that he patted his chest and showed off to the strategists: "See? If it weren't for the foresight of Bengong to withdraw from that bullshit anti-Dong alliance in time, Taishi Dong would have taken us under the knife. ”

Yuan Shao was triumphant, Guo Tu and the judge were naturally full of words, praising the lord's wisdom and martial arts, and even the frustrated and Xin Ping and others had to compliment Yuan Shao a few words against their will, only Tian Feng frowned and pondered, and muttered: "Why didn't Dong Thief do it to us?" Why did you choose Liu Yan to be the first to expand? Didn't Dong Thief know that the Qinling Mountains were completely unsuitable for the Xiliang Iron Horse to exert its might? Doesn't make sense? Could it be that Dong Thief has other intentions? ”

Tian Feng's nemesis Guo Tu sat closest to Tian Feng, although Tian Feng's voice was not loud, but Guo Tu could still hear it clearly, Guo Tu immediately retorted: "Lord Tian's words are wrong, Dong Taishi is now an ally of the lord, why would Dong Taishi make a move against our army?" What's more, Dong Taishi also entered Sichuan to crusade against Liu Yan at the behest of the Holy Lord and at the request of his ally Zhang Lu, so how can he say that he is expanding? Speaking of this, Guo Tu hugged his fists at Yuan Shao and said: "Besides, the army in the hands of Dong Taishi is only 400,000, and the male soldiers in the hands of the lord have reached 700,000. ”

Tian Feng has a strong temperament, the most upright, seeing Guo Tu's nonsense that reverses black and white like this, Tian Feng immediately refuted: "Lord Guo, don't talk nonsense with your eyes open, the number of our army is indeed better than Dong Zhuojun's, but most of them are unemployed and proletarian peasants who have just been collected, not to mention that their combat strength is extremely poor, weapons and armor are still insufficient, and military grain and grass are far from enough!" Although the number of Dong thieves' army is not as good as our army, most of them are experienced tigers and wolves, and the recruits have also undergone sufficient training, and there are veterans to teach, among which the cavalry is 150,000 giant, and the weapons and armor are well-equipped and sufficient, enough to be a ten, and the 700,000 army is just a chicken and a dog in front of them! As for the logistics grain and grass, Dong Thief is a hundred times better than our army, and he can consume us to death! As for what you said about Dong thief entering Sichuan at the request of his allies, this is even more nonsense! Dong Thief clearly wants to use a false way to destroy the enemy and take the opportunity to annex Hanzhong, can't you see this? ”

Speaking of this, Tian Feng shouted with a rod: "I dare to use the head of Xiang Shang's head to guarantee that before the Dong thief destroys Liu Yan, Zhang Lu will inevitably be annexed by the Dong thief first." ”

Guo Tu was speechless by Tian Feng's refutation, but Yuan Shao, who was sitting at the top, couldn't sit still, grabbed a few bamboo Khmers and smashed them at Tian Feng, "Get out!" You get out of here. Yuan Shao didn't know that Tian Feng was more reasonable, but Tian Feng spoke too ruthlessly, and degraded the 700,000 army that Yuan Shao was proud of as a native chicken, and the arrogant Yuan Shao could still bear it.

"Lord, my words are contrary to my words, our army is indeed not the opponent of Dong Thief." Although Tian Feng was humiliated, he still shouted loyally: "The only way to do this is to cooperate sincerely with the princes in order to eliminate Dong Zhuo, otherwise we will be the second Zhang Lu ......."

"Get out! Stick out! Yuan Shao yelled frantically, and a warrior with armor had already raised a big stick and drove Tian Feng out of the hall with a mess, but Yuan Shao was still angry, and chased to the door of the hall and yelled at Tian Feng: "Get out!" If you roll to serve in front of the Zhuojun army, and if you don't destroy Gongsun Chan within two months, your father will take your head to sacrifice the flag and recruit in person! ”

After Tian Feng was beaten out of the mansion with a stick, he was already covered in bruises, but Tian Feng didn't pay attention to the pain on his body at all, but looked up to the sky and sighed: "The vertical son is not enough to conspire with him!" Zhang Lu's today is our tomorrow......"

It was not only Tian Feng who saw that Kang Peng was using a false way to destroy him, but Zhang Lu's strategist Yan Pu also saw through Kang Peng's trick at the first time. When Dong Zhuojun's main force had not yet passed through the Meridian Valley, Kang Peng had already sent a fast horse to send a letter to Zhang Lu, indicating that Dong Zhuojun was only here to settle accounts with Liu Yan, and he had no intention of coveting Hanzhong. Yan Pu admonished Zhang Lu at that time, believing that Dong Zhuojun's move was just a false way to destroy the enemy, so that the Hanzhong army would not be vigilant and would not interfere with Dong Zhuojun's entry into Sichuan, and asked Zhang Lu to make a quick decision, quickly regain control of the Meridian Valley, and take advantage of natural danger to ensure integrity. It's a pity that Kang Peng had already prepared, and let the messenger who came to deliver the letter bribe Zhang Lu's other strategist Yang Song with a lot of money, and let Yang Song persuade Zhang Lu not to be suspicious, not to try to prevent Dong Zhuojun from entering Sichuan, although Yang Song is a villain who sees money, but is undoubtedly a very trustworthy corrupt official, after receiving Kang Peng's large sum of Huang Chengcheng's gold, Yang Song immediately in front of Zhang Lu and Yan Pu 'argue with reason', messing around, and holding Zhang Lu to prevent the troops.

And on the tenth day of the ninth month of the third year of Chuping, after Dong Zhuojun's main force passed through the Meridian Valley of Heavenly Danger, Kang Peng immediately tore his face and sent a messenger to see Zhang Lu, asking Zhang Lu to provide military salaries, grain and grass for Dong Zhuojun's expedition, otherwise, in Jia Xu's words: "Hanzhong is the granary of the northwest, fertile for thousands of miles, rich in production, such a good place, it should have been surnamed Dong a long time ago." ”

"Heavenly Master, our Taishi said that the Xiliang Army's expedition against Liu Yan and the rat thieves this time is not only for the emperor and the people of the world, but also for the long-term peace and stability of the people of Hanzhong under the rule of Zhang Tianshi." In Zhang Lu's mansion in Hanzhong City, in the hall of the Hanzhong Army's deliberations, the envoy sent by Kang Peng spat at Zhang Lu and Han Chinese Wu and said: "So Taishi hopes that Zhang Tianshi can provide our army with a little military expenses and food, not more, military expenses of 20,000 jin of gold are enough, grain, as long as only fifty stones." ”

Zhang Lu stared at Dong Zhuojun's envoy with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, his hands and feet were cold with anger, his heart was beating faster, his limbs were numb, and he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage. And Yan Pu and the others were also full of anger, only Yang Song couldn't wait to put his head in his arms, and secretly scolded Dong Fat Man for being a hundred times more greedy for money than himself.

After a while, Zhang Lu squeezed out a cold sentence from between his teeth, "What if I don't give it?" ”

The envoy of Dong Zhuojun tilted his head, and replied in a big way, "Then Master Dong and his old man will be very unhappy!" ”

"Someone!" Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei couldn't hold back any longer, jumped up and shouted, "Drag this madman down and cut it down." ”

Zhang Wei gave an order, and more than a dozen warriors immediately pressed the Dong Zhuojun envoy to the ground, and the Dong Zhuojun envoy hurriedly shouted: "I was sent by the old man Taishi, who dares to touch me?" Move me a hair, the old man will kill this Hanzhong City to the ground! But those samurai, including those samurai, had long been unaccustomed to his arrogance, so they ignored him and dragged him out.

"Slow." Zhang Lu drank those warriors, and those warriors dragged the envoy of Dong Zhuojun back with hatred. Zhang Lu pointed to the already disheveled Dong Zhuojun envoy and said: "I won't kill you today, it's not that I'm afraid of that Dong Zhuo, but because the two countries are fighting, don't kill the envoy, go back and tell Dong Zhuo, if he wants to meet with swords, we in Hanzhong can only resist." ”

If it was replaced by the envoys sent by other princes, after this fright, they would have been so frightened that they would not dare to let out another fart, but whose envoy is this? The envoy of the Murder Demon King Dong Boss raised his head, "Zhang Tianshi, your villain will definitely tell the Taishi and his old man, but you take care of yourself." ”

After Dong Zhuojun's envoy left, Zhang Wei immediately hugged his fist at Zhang Lu and said, "Brother, the younger brother is willing to lead the army to fight Dong Thief to the death, please ask my brother for permission." Zhang Lu's other two generals, Yang Ren and Yang Bai, also stood up, "The lord, the villain and others are willing to be the vanguard of the front, and they will capture Dong Zhuosheng in front of the lord's seat." ”

Zhang Lu nodded, and was about to agree, Yan Pu took a step forward, "Lord, the total strength of our army is only 100,000, and most of them are infantry, and the field battle must not be the opponent of Dong thief, and the fierce generals under Dong Thief's account are like clouds, and the battle in front of the battle is just to bring humiliation on itself, our army can only hold on, and choose another opportunity to break the enemy." ”

Zhang Lu now regrets that he didn't adopt Yan Pu's golden and jade good words at the beginning, and when he saw Yan Pu speak again, he immediately said: "I regret not listening to Mr. at the beginning, but now Mr. has any advice, please come quickly." ”

Yan Pu hugged his fists and said: "Lord, the Dong thief who has stepped into Hanzhong has reached 150,000 troops, and if you go head-to-head, our army will be defeated, but the only way to do this is to defend according to the danger, and in the north of Hanzhong, our army still has a city, that is, the city is solid, the wall is strong and the ditch is deep, and there is a lot of grain and grass, so that General Zhang Wei can lead the army to garrison this city, and he can't hold out, so as to wait for a delay." At the same time, the lord should reconcile with Xichuan Liu Yan and ask Liu Yan for help, and the two families should join forces to defeat the Dong thief army. ”

Zhang Lu hesitated: "I also have the intention of sticking to the city, but Liu Yan and I have a grudge against my mother, how can I be willing to rescue me?" ”

"His lips are dead and his teeth are cold, so he can't help but agree." Yan Pu said loudly: "The villain is willing to go to Chengdu to lobby Liu Yan, abandon grievances, and resist strong enemies together." ”

Zhang Lu was not as indecisive as Yuan Shao, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to Mr.." ”

Yan Pu hurriedly copied the trail to Chengdu, Zhang Wei and Yang Ren and Yang Bai led 50,000 troops to Chenggu, on the way, the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger Yang Ren and Yang Bai The two brothers suggested to Zhang Wei: "General, the enemy army is coming from afar, and the army is huge, and the enemy must be unprepared, I am willing to lead an army to rob the enemy camp in the middle of the night, and Dong Zhuo can be killed, and Dong Zhuo can be killed, and Dong thief can also be killed by killing the enemy's morale, which is beneficial to our army to defend the city." ”

Zhang Wei pondered for a long time, and also felt that the methods of Yang Ren and Yang Bai were feasible, so he nodded and said, "Yes, but be careful." ”

The movements of the Hanzhong army have already been sent to Kang Peng, who is still camping next to Wenshui, and the names of the generals of the Hanzhong army have been found out - this is also what Kang Peng, who is afraid of death, has repeatedly emphasized, Kang Peng does not want to die in the hands of Zhang Ren, who shot Pang Xiaoniao to death in history.

When Kang Peng heard who the general who led the army was, he sneered: "Nameless rats, dare to be arrogant in front of my army? "It's no wonder that Kang Peng is so arrogant, the generals under him are too different from the generals that Zhang Lu can handle. Kang Peng turned to Gan Ning, "Xingba, didn't you complain a few days ago that your true appearance didn't let you fight Shangyong?" Now the opportunity has come, go ahead with your 5,000 soldiers and horses, act as a vanguard, and fight a victory for the prime minister before the prime minister's army reaches the city. ”

Gan Ning was overjoyed, shaking the copper bell on his body and laughing wildly: "Taishi, don't worry, the beautiful Xingba will definitely destroy those ugly guys gorgeously and greet you with a gorgeous victory." Jia Xu, Zhao Yun and the others looked at each other and smiled, they couldn't stand Gan Ning's stinky temper,

When Gan Ning laughed wildly, Kang Peng suddenly remembered something and reminded: "Xingba, when you arrive at the city, be careful that the enemy robs the camp in the middle of the night. "How could Kang Peng suddenly say that? It turned out that Kang Peng suddenly remembered that the two brothers Yang Ren and Yang Bai under Zhang Lu had robbed the camp of Cao Cao's army in history, and Cao Cao's army was also going to attack Hanzhong at that time.
