Chapter 137: Ma Chao's Ambition (II)

"It's balanced, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Huang Quan seemed to be aware of it, and his heart was inexplicably tightened, but in front of everyone, it was already difficult to ride a tiger, so he immediately begged Ma Chao. When Liu Bei heard this, he guessed correctly with Zhuge Liang, and he was stunned, and pointed at Huang Quan and asked Wen Ping to lead troops to escort him down. Huang Quan didn't know what was going on, and he was in a hurry to say that he was not guilty. Liu Bei ignored it and threw away angrily. Zhuge Liang and Wen Ping secretly cast a look, Wen Ping understood, and led the soldiers to surround Huang Quan, and said.

"Huang Gong and I will go on a trip, he will find out the facts one day, if Huang Gong is really innocent, he will definitely make amends to Huang Quan."

Huang Quan's brain was spinning, and he seemed to have a little enlightenment, sighed, and did not resist. Liu Bei returned to the county office angrily, and Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng followed. Liu Bei suppressed his anger, his face was extremely dark, as if he was about to drip water, and asked Zhuge Liang in a cold voice.

"This Ma Mengqi has evil intentions, according to Kong Ming's opinion, what should be done now!?"

Zhuge Liang had already thought about it and said it.

"The lord can hand over the name, and he can first take the main road and send troops to Zitong quickly. Among them, Yide and Ziyi were also taught to lead a fast horse, and secretly detoured to set up an ambush at the mouth of Zitong and the barbarian realm. Mrs. Zhurong has not yet expected that we will know that Ma Meng has evil intentions, and as long as our army marches rapidly for several days, we will be able to intercept it when the rear army retreats. When the lord will summon Ma Meng to meet him, he will say that he has something important to command. If Ma Mengqi has a ghost in his heart, he will definitely not receive the order, and the lord can immediately attack, annihilate his rear army, and seize his heavy grain and grass. The barbarians know that they will take the baggage, and they may return to fight with our army, or they will flee in a hurry. And before Yide and Ziyi set off, the lord can send someone to teach the two to wait for the opportunity to move, if the barbarian army returns to kill, then attack from behind, and our army before and after, will be able to kill the barbarian army without leaving a piece of armor, capture the horse Mengqi. However, if the barbarian army ignores the baggage and flees in a hurry, the two generals will lead the ambush soldiers to intercept and kill, and our army will chase after them from behind, and they can also break the barbarians. ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang's strategy fell, Fa Zheng and Liu Bei both changed their faces and secretly praised it. Liu Bei's expression froze, and then according to Zhuge Liang's plan, each made an order. Liu Bei ordered more than 10,000 elite soldiers on the same day, and Hua Xiong, Wen Ping and others will march from Guanzhong and take the road to Zitong. That night, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici also received reports from the meteor horses, and quickly sent troops and horses from Gengcheng and Weining, and secretly detoured to the border between Zitong and the barbarian realm.

Two days later, Liu Bei led the army to the outside of Zitong City, but there were less than a few hundred barbarian soldiers left in the city. Liu Bei was shocked when he saw it, and the barbarian generals in the city were a little surprised when they saw Liu Bei coming so quickly, and immediately ordered someone to open the city gate. Liu Bei's face was gloomy, and he asked in a cold voice with Zhuge Liang beside him.

"Kong Ming, why is this!?"

Zhuge Lianghao's eyes narrowed, he groaned for a while, and whispered to Liu Bei.

"It seems that this Ma Mengqi is mostly from Huang Gongheng's mouth, and he learned that Liang was suspicious of him. Presumably, as soon as Huang Gongheng left with his front foot, he immediately sent his troops off with his back foot. At this time, most of the other army had already arrived at the barbarian realm! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes widened, suppressed his anger, and said softly.

"What a Ma Mengqi!! He really has bad intentions!! ”

Liu Bei's face trembled, and now all kinds of signs show that Ma Chao has a rebellious heart. At this moment, the barbarian generals of the city had already led their troops to the outside of the city, and they all bowed and wanted to carry out the handover. Liu Bei's eyes were gloomy, and he wanted to order all these barbarians to be captured. Zhuge Liang realized Liu Bei's intention, and hurriedly cast his eyes to stop it, and then drove his horse forward and asked the barbarian general about a few things. After asking, Zhuge Liang sighed, and sure enough, as he expected, the barbarian army had already set off five or six years ago. Zhuge Liang then returned to the formation suddenly, first teaching Liu Bei the handover, and then planning the future. Although Liu Bei was impatient, he now knew that it was difficult to catch up with Ma Chao, so he followed Zhuge Liang's words. At noon, the two armies completed the handover, and the barbarian general rushed to ask Liu Bei for his life, that is, he successfully retreated and led the troops to leave Zitong City.

In the Zitong County Yagong Hall, Liu Bei's face was dark, and he didn't seem to be a little happy because he got Zitong. Liu Bei's eyes narrowed and shouted.

"Ma Mengqi dared to treat me like this!! I will send someone to send an order to recall it, if not, I will send troops to attack the Southern Barbarians on the same day, and even send people to announce that he and Mrs. Zhurong conspired to kill the barbarian king Meng Shu that day!! ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his face changed, and he attended the persuasion.

"The lord must not. Now that Ma Mengqi has entered the barbarian realm, Mrs. Zhurong is very prestigious in the Southern Barbarians, and she has a heavy army. Even if the lord exposed the sins of the two, the barbarians would not be gullible. What's more, the barbarian realm is desolate, and the terrain is not inferior to the Sichuan land, and there are many birds and beasts, and the poisonous pool is dangerous. If the lord attacks with his troops, the barbarians only need to defend according to the danger, and within a few months, our army will run out of food, and will be forced to withdraw. Immediately, the barbarians waited for work at ease and sent an army to pursue, and our army was invincible!? ”

Liu Bei's face changed when he heard this, and he couldn't regret it, so he suppressed his anger at the moment, his eyes were red, and he was silent for a while, before he asked Zhuge Liang.

"Then according to Kong Ming's opinion, what should I do now?"

"Ma Mengqi is now on the verge of success, and he can't startle the snake, if he tears his face, it will only make the northwest thieves have a void. Now that the situation in the barbarian realm is not stable, Ma Mengqi does not dare to act rashly, and our army also needs to recuperate in order to stabilize the situation in Yizhou. According to Liang's opinion, but he can be appeased first, and teach him that he is not suspicious of the lord. The lord can follow his previous begging, transfer Ma Bozhan to the barbarian realm, and at the same time order Wen Zhongye to go with him, secretly monitor, thinking that he should respond. Wen Zhongye has always been alert, more strategic, and can take on great responsibilities. ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes shimmered, and he said in a condensed voice. Liu Bei heard this, grabbed the measure for a while, and felt that it was feasible, so he summoned Wen Ping to see him and instructed carefully. Wen Ping heard the past, knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and accepted the order. Subsequently, Liu Bei transferred Ma Dai from Brazil, and at the same time sent fast horses to inform Tai Shici and Zhang Fei to withdraw their troops. A few days later, Ma Dai arrived and was ordered to go to the barbarian realm with Wen Ping.

So far, the situation in Yizhou has been stable for the time being. Liu Bei won the forty-one states of Xichuan, and later, under the recommendation of Fa Zheng, he used Xichuan talents one after another, so that Jiang Wan joined the army, Fei Yi was the long history, and Dong Ju and Fan Jian were the two Peng history. He also appointed Wang Ping, Zhang Yi and other young soldiers as captains. At the same time, Huang Quan was also exempted from crime by Fa Zheng, Zhuge Liang and others. Half a month later, Liu Bei Anmin had decided to reward the three armies, and the people were happy. Zhuge Liang led Fa Zheng, Huang Quan and other Xichuan talents to deploy law and politics, reduce taxes, reform and establish new ones, and stabilize people's hearts. The people of Sichuan are happy, and with the hard work of Zhuge Liang and others, Yizhou is gradually showing signs of recovery.

It is said that Wenhan's class returned to Hedong. When the people of Hedong heard that the expeditionary army had finally returned, they were all overjoyed and rushed to the city gate to greet them. Zhou Long and Xi Zhicai led a group of civil and military personnel to greet them outside the gate of Anyi City. When the sergeants in the army saw those familiar faces, they were all very excited, and many of them were even happy with tears in their eyes. When the army entered the city, Wen Han ordered the generals to settle the soldiers and horses, reward the three armies, and set up a banquet in the city, and the army and the people enjoyed together.

That night, Wen Han returned to the Champion Hou's Mansion, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a beautiful figure standing quietly at the door. The woman was dressed in goose yellow fluttering pattern clothes, and her big eyes were full of mist, which was very moving.

That woman is Wen Hanjiao's wife, Cai Yan. Wen Han smiled and walked away, beside Cai Yan, there was a little man, who looked like a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his whole body was powerful and powerful, and he was very strong. This little boy is the only son of Wen Han and Cai Yan, Wen Shun.

After not seeing him for a few years, Yiren was a lot haggard, Wen Han looked at Cai Yan silently, hugged him into his arms, and said softly in his ear.

"Yan'er, I have been looking forward to each other day and night in the past few years, but I have suffered you."

Cai Yan listened, her delicate body shook, and the pain of lovesickness suddenly appeared, without words, the bitterness and sweetness were all in her heart. I don't know how long it took, Cai Yan reluctantly left Wen Han's arms and choked up with Wen Shun beside him.

"Shun'er, why don't you come and say hello to your father."

When Wen Han heard this, he looked away, and saw that Wen Shun was now a lot taller and stronger, only ten years old, but with the body of a sixteen-year-old child. I saw that Wen Shun looked like a crown of jade, with sharp edges and corners, eyebrows and starry eyes, very handsome, and his appearance was similar to Cai Yan, but his bright eyes were very similar to Wen Han.

"The child has seen his father."

Wen Shun's voice was loud and full of energy, and at a glance, he knew that there had been no wasted practice in the past few years. Wen Han nodded with satisfaction, walked up to Wen Shun, reached out and stroked his hair, and said with a smile.

"Shun'er has grown up now, and she is very happy to be a father."

Wen Shunxing's eyes lit up, and he silently looked at Wen Han's figure, with admiration in his eyes. The family of three then entered the hall of Fuzhong, and soon a group of civil and military officers came to pay their respects, and Wen Han saw them one after another. Before you know it, it's time for the feast. After many years of war, it finally ended, and when they returned to their hometowns, all the generals were overjoyed. During the feast, everyone indulged in drinking, and more than half of them drank until they were drunk. Wen Han was also very happy, and drank until he fell drunk.

The feast lasted for three days. The city of Anyi is lit up every night, and the army and the people are happy. After that, Wen Han got together with his relatives at home for a few days to relieve the pain of lovesickness for many years.

One day, a soldier suddenly came with an urgent report. When Wen Han heard this, it turned out to be an urgent report sent by Xu Rong from Hanzhong, reporting the changes that happened in Xichuan a month ago. Wen Han's face sank, and he gathered a group of civil and military officers to discuss in the Anyi County Ya.

When he was young, the civil and military forces in the northwest rushed to arrive. Wen Han said carefully about the changes in Xichuan. When Xi Zhicai heard this, he groaned slightly, and then said to Wen Han.

"Now that the barbarian king Meng Shu is dead, although it is Mrs. Zhurong who has seized power, she is secretly only controlled by Ma Mengqi. It seems that at this time, most of the big-eared thieves have obtained Zitong, pacified Yizhou, and gained a firm foothold. ”

Wen Han heard this, his face turned cold, and he said coldly.

"Humph! What a beauty trick, I really didn't expect that there would be such a change, it was really cheap Liu Xuande, a traitorous villain!! ”

As soon as Wen Han's words fell, Guan Yu came out angrily, Dan Feng's eyes were murderous, and he shouted loudly.

"Although the big-eared thief pacified Yizhou, his troops were empty, and he only needed 30,000 soldiers and horses to capture Yizhou for the lord!!"

When Xu Shu heard this, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly attended the admonition.

"Never. Now that our army is recuperating, the sergeants have no intention of fighting a decisive battle, and they march rashly, only afraid of more defeats and fewer victories!! What's more, our army has been fighting for many years and needs to rest, so it is really not appropriate to start another war. ”

When Guan Yu heard this, his face changed, and he was about to speak. Xi Zhicai rushed to be the first.

"What Yuan Zhi said is extremely true. What's more, the second general must not forget, Cao Mengde has been resting in the Central Plains for half a year, and he has been eyeing our northwest for a long time. ”

Guan Yu has always respected Xi Zhicai, and when he heard it, he suppressed his anger, blushed his face, and stopped speaking. Wen Han hesitated for a while, then said in a condensed voice.

"It's too late. I only hate that I have repeatedly designed, but I have failed to kill the big-eared thief, and Zhuge Liang has hidden the sky and crossed the sea, so that Jingzhou soldiers and horses can enter Sichuan. The situation in Yizhou is difficult to change. Our immediate urgency is to stabilize the situation, to build up our strength, and then to conquer the Quartet. ”

Xu Shu was also relieved to see that Wen Han could see the situation clearly, and opened his mouth and said.
