Chapter 160: The Beacon Flame Rises Again (I)
Xu Shu poured his bags into it, and taught the tricks of war and the use of strange soldiers one by one. Everyone is knowledgeable with their hearts, and they gradually develop friendships in private, each of them is called brothers. Before you know it, it's the early spring of the next year, and everyone is a year older. Among the people, Deng Ai and Guan Xing were both born in the same year, with the age of nineteen, which is the eldest of all, and Wang Shuang and Xu Gai are the second, with the age of seventeen. Guan Suo and Wen Shun are ten or four. Zhao Tong is the youngest, thirteen years old.
The cold winter has passed, spring has arrived, and everything has sprouted. Outside Chang'an City, the drizzle is drizzling, the blue is sudden, the spring flowers are blooming, and it is full of vitality.
At that time, Wen Han and Cai Yan were enjoying the flowers in the palace garden. Cai Yan smiled lightly, and it was difficult to change the appearance of Yiren when he was old. I saw Cai Yan walking among the flowers, wearing a goose-yellow brocade robe embroidered with phoenix edges, a pink smoke gauze skirt mopping the floor, and a big red peony flower was inserted in the phoenix bun. The years are quite charming, and the charm still exists. Looking at Cai Yan's slender waist and slight steps, elegant and quiet, with a little light in his eyes, he could see the ripples in Wen Han's heart.
The two walked a few steps, and Cai Yan slowly stopped, and said softly to Wen Han.
"Spring has arrived, but the king is about to set out soon?"
When Wen Han heard this, he unconsciously felt a little ashamed in his eyes, sighed, and looked up to the sky.
"Loneliness is the lord of a nation. Millions of people in the Western Tang Dynasty, as well as the Chinese martial arts of the country, all hope that Gu can calm the world, sweep away the society, become the emperor's industry, and bring peace and prosperity to the world. Alone shoulders the expectations of the public, and dares to slack off. β
"I knew the responsibility of the king. The king and fight with peace of mind, I will wait in the palace. β
Cai Yan bowed slightly, Wen Han hugged him into his arms, and the two relied on each other. It just so happened that the magpie flew and stopped on a branch, and cried and chirped, which was very good.
After half a year of preparation, the baggage and ordnance were all complete. The officers and men of all armies are recuperating and waiting for the order. Wen Han ordered Shenlong Hou Guan Yu to lead 50,000 elite soldiers as the front army, and since he led 100,000 elite soldiers and Gentian Marquis Zhao Yun and other generals to the Chinese army, so that the five lion general Zhang Liao led 50,000 elite soldiers to the rear, raised more than 200,000 troops, and marched into Hanzhong. At that time, Wen Han ordered Huang Zhong, Marquis of Wuyi, to guard the east of the river and between the rivers. And the state pastor Gao Shun, the town guards and the state. Five Lions Admiral Xu Huang and Pang De sat in Yongzhou. Tian Feng, Li You and other strategists complemented each other to prepare for the Wei State.
At the same time, in Hanzhong County, Xu Rong had already prepared 30,000 elite soldiers. Earlier, Xu Rong had received the edict of Wen Han, and sent troops to Jiameng Pass on the same day to meet Wei Yan.
In the same month, Cao Cao raised more than 300,000 troops, personally led the expedition to Jingzhou, and sent Xiahoudun as the vanguard general to command the army of 100,000. Cao Cao led 150,000 Chinese troops, and Cao Xiu led 50,000 soldiers to be escorted to the baggage and siege equipment for the rear army. At the same time, Cao Cao ordered General Zhang Jaw to lead 100,000 elite soldiers, and combined with Yu Ban and Lejin to march to Yan and Yuzhou to prepare for Eastern Wu.
The Wei and Tang dynasties marched at the same time, and there were more than 600,000 soldiers from the two countries, marching to various places. As soon as this news came out, the world shook. Zhuge Liang quickly ordered Pan Feng to reorganize the army for battle, garrison Jingzhou, and sent envoys to Eastern Wu and Nanban respectively to ask for help. At the same time, Zhuge Liang prepared the Xichuan soldiers, and Liu Bei, the king of Shu, led 100,000 elite soldiers, and Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and other generals, rushed to the boundary between Zitong and Jiameng Pass, and set up a camp according to the mountains and rivers to prepare for war. Soon, the barbarian king Ma Chao raised 80,000 troops in the southern barbarians, led the chieftains of various cave lords, and entered Zitong to help in the war.
As for Eastern Wu, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, had already prepared 100,000 elite soldiers in Hefei, and ordered Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, to lead the three armies, and Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, LΓΌ Meng and other generals to kill Yanzhou.
Suddenly, the beacon smoke rose everywhere, and the peerless war that overturned the world was about to break out. Let's take a look at the battle in Xichuan first. However, it was said that Liu Bei led the troops to the Jiameng Pass, and the camp was set up, all over the mountains and forests. Zhuge Liang ordered Zhang Xue and Wang Ping to lead the army to each of them. Zhuge Liang then taught Liu Bei that Jiameng Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he should take advantage of the fact that the Western Tang army had not arrived and scrambled to seize it first. Liu Bei heard this, so he taught Zhang Fei to lead an army to investigate first.
Shi Xu Rong and Wei Yanshou guarded Jia Meng. The two heard that Liu Bei's army had arrived, and Xu Rong led the army out of the sentry and was meeting Zhang Feijun. As soon as Xu Rong saw Zhang Feiqi, he knew that he was brave, and he did not dare to underestimate the enemy and wanted to retreat. When the Five Lions Admiral Wei Yan heard this, he glared at the tiger and shouted.
"When the thief first arrives, if you don't frustrate their sharpness first, how can you see Tang Wanghu?"
Xu Rong frowned when he heard this, but he didn't answer. Wei Yan had already raised his sword, flew out of the formation, and flew to fight. When Zhang Fei heard this, he laughed, pulled out his horse and galloped out, shouting in a voice like Lei Gong.
"Wei Wenchang, who are you who dare to offend Huwei!?"
Wei Yan was furious when he heard this, and as soon as he drank his voice, Pegasus rushed. Zhang Fei smiled coldly and patted his horse to meet him. The two horses intersected, Zhang Fei scrambled to shoot out a spear, Wei Yan dodged quickly, and then slashed Zhang Fei's neck with a knife. Zhang Fei had already prepared and twisted the spear to resist. The two stared at each other and fought hard. Zhang Fei's strength was even better, and he roared, like a thunderbolt, forcing Wei Yan's dragon Jiao broadsword away. Wei Yan's face was hideous, he grabbed the big knife, and when he was about to attack, Zhang Fei's snake spear had already stabbed it. Wei Yan hurriedly dodged and narrowly avoided it. Xu Rong saw that Wei Yanfei was Zhang Fei's opponent, and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army. Wei Yan listened to the order and retreated, Zhang Fei laughed rampantly, and took advantage of the situation to cover up. **Defeated
Xu Rong and Wei Yan escaped in a desperate battle and led the remnants back to the pass. Zhang Fei won a big victory for a while, returned to the village to report, and the Shu army heard about it, and their morale was greatly boosted.
said that Xu Rong and Wei Yan returned to Jiameng Pass. Xu Rong reproached Wei Yan and shouted.
"You can't take my orders, and you will be defeated by underestimating the enemy, but you can be guilty!?"
Wei Yan's face was unwilling, and he glared at the tiger and shouted.
"So-and-so and that Zhang Yide were killed right today, and if it weren't for the general's order, he would have been cut off his horse a certain morning. Why did the general come to blame so-and-so!? β
When Xu Rong heard this, he was furious, and the two argued. In the end, it was Xu Rong who stopped his anger first and said to Wei Yan.
"Zhang Fei is fierce, not idle, now he can hold the pass and don't confront him. This is the best policy. β
Wei Yan was not angry when he heard this, and shouted.
"Everyone is afraid of Zhang Fei, and a certain person regards him as a child's ear! If you dare to come, you will capture him! Why do you need to be so weak!? β
Xu Ronghu was stunned, looked at Wei Yan coldly, and shouted.
"I am a general in the army, Wei Wenchang, you dare to disobey the order!?"
Wei Yan listened to the words, gritted his teeth, but did not dare to make a mistake. Xu Rong then ordered someone to declare the Shenlong Hou Guan Yu who was rushing to Hanzhong, and on the other hand, he taught the sergeants to guard Jiameng Pass closely. Let's say that Zhang Fei won a game, and led troops to Guanxia for several days to fight. But unmoved. Zhang Fei saw that he couldn't come out, so he ordered the sergeant to make a strong attack. Xu Rong saw it at the gate, and immediately ordered the soldiers to release arrows. The chaotic arrows were like a shower, and Zhang Fei hurriedly shouted that the sergeant withdrew. Wei Yan saw that the Shu army was messy, and hurriedly admonished Xu Rong.
"General Xu, the other army's formation is in chaos, you can quickly send elite troops to attack it, and you will definitely be able to capture that horseman!!"
Xu Rong heard this, but he thought that Zhuge Liang had always been deceitful, and he was afraid of an ambush, so he refused Wei Yan's request. When Wei Yan saw Zhang Fei withdrawing, he was very anxious, and he repeatedly admonished him, but he was rejected by Xu Rong. Zhang Fei returned to the village and told Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang about the past. Zhuge Liang listened, made a move, and said with a light smile.
"Huh. This Xu Rong is cautious and steady, and he does not hesitate to be a general, no wonder Wen Bufan ordered him to guard Dongchuan. β
Liu Bei frowned when he heard this, and asked in a condensed voice.
"Now that Xu Rong is guarding the pass, it will be difficult to overcome for a while. How can I take this Meng Pass? β
Zhuge Liang groaned for a while, and then taught Zhang Fei to do this and so. Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was tricked. In the next few days, Sergeant Zhang Fei ordered Sergeant Zhang to shout and curse Wen Han for all kinds of crimes. Close the ** and listen to it, everyone is angry. Wei Yan asked for battle several times, but they were all taken by Xu Rong. After a few days, the anger and hatred in the customs were soaring, and the sergeants of ** up and down were holding back their murderous anger. After a while, Zhang Fei led his troops to arrive again, and all the horse soldiers were dismounted, and the infantry turned against each other and sat on the grass to rest. Zhang Fei was even closer, drinking as if no one was around.
It just so happened that yesterday Xu Rong heard that the sergeant had come to report that Shenlong Hou Guan Yu had arrived in Hanzhong, and Xu Rong wanted to return to Hanzhong to allocate grain and grass for supplies. Before leaving, Wei Yan was ordered to stay on guard for ten days. It is said that once the ten days pass, if Jia Mengguan is lost, it has nothing to do with him. But if there is any negligence within ten days, it is all his responsibility. Wei Yan made a military statement. Xu Rong was not worried.
At this time, Wei Yan saw that Zhang Fei was drinking under the pass, and the Shu soldiers were resting, so angry that they were full of fire, jumping like thunder, gritting their teeth, and shouting.
"Zhang Pifu deceived me too much!!"
After Wei Yan finished drinking, he ordered the soldiers and horses in the pass and attacked out of the pass. A cannon rang out, and I saw Wei Yan leading the army to rush out. When Zhang Fei saw Wei Yan coming, he hurriedly ordered the sergeant to withdraw. Wei Yan took the lead, and quickly rushed into the chaotic army of Shu, rushing left and right, killing pieces of blood and rain, as if no one was in a land. ** Rushed from all sides, hacking to death many Shu soldiers who fled to the point of indiscriminately. **The soldiers each held back a murderous aura, which was a crazy vent. Wei Yan led the army straight and chased Zhang Fei all the way. Zhang Fei led a remnant of the army to flee in embarrassment. Wei Yan was in hot pursuit, and was about to rush to a forest mouth. Wei Yan suddenly recalled that Zhang Fei had no resistance just now, and he pulled out his horse and fled, very weak. Thinking of this, Wei Yan's heart jumped, and he suddenly woke up and quickly called the soldiers to withdraw. **The soldiers killed just as they were rising, and when they heard Wei Yan's order, they all didn't know what to do, and they retreated in a panic. At this moment, there was a roar in the Lin Kou, and I saw Tai Shici on the left and Zhang Ren on the right, and the two of them each led a soldier and horse to fly and rush over. Seeing this, Wei Yan's face was shocked, the secret way was really deceitful, and he ordered the soldiers to retreat quickly and guard the pass. Wei Yan led a group of soldiers and horses to block the attack. Zhang Ren rushed over, stabbing with a spear, as fast as the wind, Wei Yan twisted his knife and resisted, and when the two of them killed fiercely, Tai Shici ran to the thunder spear and stabbed it obliquely. Wei Yan knew that if he did not block the offensive of the Shu soldiers, most of the soldiers and horses of the army could buy time to rush back to Jiameng Pass, and Jiameng Pass would undoubtedly be lost. It can be known that Wei Yan made a military order before, if Jia Mengguan is lost, it will be difficult to protect his head. Thinking of this, Wei Yan's heart tightened, he roared, his face was hideous, and he fought desperately.
