Chapter 1203: The Divisive Scheme (Part II)
It turned out that these two soldiers who held Xu Shu hostage were the dead soldiers under Zhuge Liang. The two were ordered by Zhuge Liang to sneak into the city during the battle between the two armies today. And just before the two handed over the letter to Huang Zhong, they secretly reported to a member of the Tang general, saying that they saw Huang Zhong sneakily discussing something with others. The Tang general saw that Huang Zhong had a great relationship with the Shu army, and he did not dare to slack off, so he quickly reported to Zhang Liao and Xu Shu. When the two heard this, they were suspicious, so they hurried over. How did Zhang Liao happen to see the document in Huang Zhong's hand, so he mistakenly thought that Huang Zhong was really collaborating with the enemy, and the thunder was furious.
At this moment, there are many changes. Huang Zhong was speechless for a while, but he didn't know how to be a good time. Suddenly, the shouts of killing outside the city were loud, and the Shu soldiers were coming from all directions. When Zhang Liao heard this, his face suddenly changed again, his face was hideous, and he stared at Huang Zhong deadly, as if he wanted to swallow him alive, his steel teeth were so angry that he was about to crush them, and he shouted angrily.
"The Shu soldiers are coming to the city, what do you have to say, old thief!? I only hate that the king trusts you so much, but you are betrayed like this!! ”
Huang Zhong trembled all over, and stopped talking. If Huang Zhong's martial arts are relied upon, and Xu Shu is a hostage, fighting to the death, it is very likely that he can take advantage of the chaos to seize the city gate and welcome the Shu army into the city. At present, Zhang Liao and others all believe that Huang Zhong is a thief, and if Huang Zhong does not resist, he will definitely die. Zhuge Liang's plan can be described as extremely vicious, if Huang Zhong wants to live, he has no choice.
However, Huang Zhong is not greedy for life and afraid of death. Suddenly, Huang Zhong seemed to have made up his mind, his face was full of anger, he walked towards Zhang Liao, and said in a condensed voice.
"Huang has a clear conscience, if Wen Yuan doesn't believe it, let you deal with it!!"
When Zhang Liao saw Huang Zhong coming, his eyes narrowed, but he was secretly wary of Huang Zhong's sudden attack. Seeing that Huang Zhong was about to approach, Zhang Liao shouted, raised his sword and slashed at Huang Zhong's head. Huang Zhong didn't dodge or dodge, the sword was as fast as thunder, and it was about to reach Huang Zhong's forehead in an instant. Zhang Liao still couldn't be ruthless after all, and suddenly turned his sword. The sword flew sideways. At the moment of life and death, Huang Zhong was still motionless, standing calmly and above board.
The two dead soldiers who were holding Xu Shu hostage were immediately startled when they saw that Zhang Liao's sword was about to be cut. At this moment, Xu Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, and his thin body, like a swimming fish, suddenly scurried back, his hands into palms, and he slapped and slapped, like Tai Chi Liangyi. In an instant, the two dead soldiers were knocked away. The surrounding soldiers hurriedly rushed up and subdued the two dead soldiers. It turned out that Xu Shu was already good at martial arts, and when he used a sword to go around the world, he was even more angry, and he angrily beheaded the wicked for his friends, and later had to change his name to Shan Fu and escaped. After Xu Shu joined Wen Han, Wen Han taught Tai Chi moves. Tai Chi is exquisite, profound, whether it is in martial arts or in formation, there are merits. Xu Shu has studied this deeply, and his understanding of Tai Chi far surpasses others.
Before leaving, Zhuge Liang also knew that Xu Shu was good at martial arts, and once instructed these two dead soldiers to be extremely careful. But the scene just now is too thrilling. As soon as these two dead men lost their minds, they were immediately taken advantage of by Xu Shu. After Xu Shu dragged the danger, his face was flat, so he turned his eyes to look at Huang Zhong and gave up.
"General Huang is worthy of being a loyal and righteous man, and his talent is enough to prove that the old general is brave and loyal. I don't know what to do, and I hope that General Huang will forgive him!! ”
When Zhang Liao heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, but when he thought of him holding the sword and cutting it down just now, Huang Zhong's fearless look was also a little convinced, and he hurriedly made a salute to make amends.
"A certain reckless and ignorant, willing to accept the guilt!!"
Huang Zhong made a move with his hand, without the slightest anger, and said lightly.
"Zhuge Kongming has always been treacherous and wise, and he has repeatedly used tricks to drive a wedge between me. The princes are eager to protect the country, how can they be blamed.
At that moment, the other army was approaching the city. I'll go there as soon as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of by thieves!! ”
In Huang Zhong's eyes, everything should be done with state affairs first. When Xu Shu saw this, he admired it in his heart, and quickly taught the sergeant to put the two dead soldiers in prison, and then went to the north gate to meet the enemy with Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao and other generals according to the soldiers' reports. Zhuge Liang led General Pan Ping and led the army to set up a position outside the city gate in the north. Zhuge Liang frowned, according to the time he agreed, there should have been a change in the city a long time ago. But after nearly half an hour, there was still no movement in the city. Zhuge Liang was suspicious, and in the dense place of torches in the city, a group of people and horses suddenly came. The leader is none other than Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong's tiger eyes were impressive, and he looked at Zhuge Liang under the city and shouted.
"Zhuge Villager, your treacherous plan has been discovered by us!! You have repeatedly harmed me, trapped me in unkindness and injustice, and this hatred is not shared! If you are captured by me, I will crush you to ashes to vent my hatred!! ”
Huang Zhong's voice was like thunder, and it exploded violently, and within a radius of several miles, it seemed to be shrouded in Huang Zhong's loud words. Zhuge Liang's face changed when he heard this, but after all, he still sighed and taught the left and right sergeants to withdraw from the army. At this moment, a bowstring suddenly burst out in the city, and an arrow as fast as lightning shot towards Zhuge Liang like an uncatchable flying shadow in the dark night. Fortunately, Pan Ping was prepared and twisted the knife to block suddenly. The arrow was so powerful that it shot Pan Ping's weapon out of his hand. Zhuge Liang was startled and hurriedly fled into the crowd. Huang Zhong shouted angrily, and fired several arrows in succession, but only shot a few soldiers who had nothing to do. With the sound of the Shu army, all Shu soldiers withdrew one after another.
At dawn, the sun is rising. Someone came to report that the two dead soldiers had killed themselves by biting their tongues last night. Xu Shu heard this, and the soldier who came to report last night came quickly, and then taught the sergeant to move the bodies of the two dead soldiers. After identification, it was indeed the two dead men who misreported Huang Zhong and had a secret discussion. In this way, the facts are clear. Zhang Liao thought that he had almost made a big mistake, and he couldn't regret it, so he pleaded guilty to Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong is also a large number, and there is no blame, his broad-mindedness has won the respect of the generals.
said that the discord made by Zhuge Liang could not be calculated, and it was delayed for nearly a month. Now that the war situation is urgent, Zhuge Liang doesn't feel a little impatient. On the same day, Zhuge Liang gathered the people in the tent, his face was dark, and he said to the generals.
"Nowadays, the divisive plan has been seen through by the other army. On the contrary, the other army was united in this way. To capture Nanzheng, there is no doubt that it will be more difficult. Do you have a plan? ”
As soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, the generals looked at each other. At this time, Zhang Fei was angry and shouted.
"I said earlier that there is no need to make this discord time-consuming. But the military advisor has to insist on doing it! At present, it has been delayed for a long time, and it is time to quickly reorganize the army and attack it with all its might. Just Nanzheng Town, you can get it at your fingertips!! ”
Before Zhang Fei finished speaking, Ma Dai hurriedly retorted.
"No! Nanzheng City is heavily guarded, solid as gold, if it is rashly attacked, even if it can break through this city, it will also have to lose its troops. In this way, once Wen Bufan brings reinforcements back to help, how can we resist?! ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyes widened, and he shouted through gritted teeth.
"If you wait for everything to be delayed and don't move forward, when will my second brother's revenge be avenged!?"
Zhang Fei was like a wild horse, and his thunderous voice roared, like a thunderbolt exploding. All the generals in the tent changed color, Zhuge Liang's expression froze, he took the sword seal in his hand, and scolded sharply.
"The sword mark is here, who dares to be presumptuous!?"
When Zhang Fei heard this, he couldn't get his desire, so he could only suppress his anger. Zhuge Lianghao narrowed his eyes and sighed.
"The other army knows that we are eager to work on the city, if we wait and we are in chaos, it will only make the flaws full of flaws, and the other army will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. Although our army has a large number of troops, the other army is based on the city, and the strong Zhengcheng in the south is not a good strategy. If you are trapped, it will not only take time, but also Nanzheng has a lot of food, so you can't do it. I want to win by surprise, but there is Xu Yuanzhi in the city, this person is highly intelligent, and he is in no way inferior to me. Now that the war is delayed, it is really a meagre learning. ”
Zhuge Liang was worried, this world-shattering peerless man who was known as a demon of wisdom and wisdom seemed a little lonely now. When Zhang Fei saw this, he wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly seemed to lose his strength, raised his head and sighed in his heart.
"Could it be that the heavens want to destroy my Shu Kingdom!?"
Shu did not have many troops, and the battle situation was unknown. Zhuge Liang didn't dare to act rashly, so he didn't move for the time being, and it was half a month to confront the Shu army in Nanzheng. Suddenly, one day, a hurricane blew and the sky was dark. Seeing this, Zhuge Liang's face was overjoyed, and he suddenly smiled.
"There is no end to the road!! Nan Zheng can be broken!! ”
Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, and quickly summoned Ma Dai and Pan Ping to come, and taught so and so. When Ma Dai and Pan Ping heard this, their faces changed continuously, and they were shocked. It turned out that Zhuge Liang had expected that after five days, there would be torrential rain, so he taught the two to go to the Baihe River southeast of Nanzheng City, build a dike, and first store water. When the time comes, you have your own commands. The two knew that Zhuge Liang could watch the celestial phenomena, so there was no doubt about it, and they went one after another. However, Zhang Fei saw that the war was difficult to lift, and he was bored in his heart, and suddenly saw several soldiers and horses in the village, and he was overjoyed, and quickly went to Zhuge Liang's tent to meet him. Zhuge Liang seemed to have expected it, and when he saw Zhang Fei hurriedly entering the account, he smiled and said.
"What is the matter with Yide here?"
Zhang Fei frowned and said hurriedly.
"The military advisor has to hide it from me. I clearly saw my nephew and Ma Dai leading the troops out of the village, and the military advisor had his own plan, why didn't he tell me? ”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he pretended to be different, but he said.
"Yide doesn't need to be suspicious, it's difficult to fight now, how can I have a plan?"
When Zhang Fei saw the different color on Zhuge Liang's face, he suddenly became more convinced, and hurriedly shouted.
"I'm a lieutenant general! The military advisor has a plan, why does he refuse to use me? ”
Zhuge Liang listened to the words, stopped talking, sighed, and shook his head.
"Although Yide has the courage of ten thousand invincibles, how can he be impatient and eager for revenge. Liang is afraid that he will tell you the plan, but he will miss the big thing. ”
Zhang Fei really had a plan when he heard it, and a pair of ring-eyed eyes suddenly burst into ji
G-light, said hurriedly.
"The military advisor's words are wrong. At the moment of state affairs, how can I forget my public duties because of selfishness!? Although the military advisor commanded, if I commit any crime, no matter how punishable, I am willing to accept the order! ”
Zhuge Liang listened, smiled brightly, and said so with Zhang Fei. When Zhang Fei heard this, he was very happy and laughed non-stop. So, that night, Zhang Fei ignored Zhuge Liang's prohibition and indulged in drinking. got drunk, stripped off his clothes, and scolded Zhuge Liang in the village, saying that he didn't know what to do, he had no talent to learn, and delayed the war. After scolding, Zhang Fei suddenly cried loudly, but it turned out that he remembered his sworn brother Pan Feng, beat his chest and cried, saying that it was difficult to avenge the revenge, and he was shameless. Zhang Fei scolded and cried, one moment hideous, and the other moment he was desolate and crying. When the soldiers in the village heard this, they were all moved. Zhuge Liang has always governed the army strictly, how could he allow Zhang Fei to be so presumptuous, and immediately came out of the account to denounce him. Zhang Fei cried so sadly, and when he saw Zhuge Liang, he immediately opened his mouth and scolded. Zhuge Liang was so angry that he rushed to the crown, but seeing the pain of Zhang Fei's loss of his brother, he endured his anger and only taught him to push him back into the tent. Where is Zhang Fei willing to go, he suddenly attacked, knocked over the soldiers, got drunk, and scolded Zhuge Liang while crying. Zhuge Liang was so angry that he trembled all over, and urgently ordered the sergeant to capture him. At this time, Hua Xiong and other generals rushed over, and when they saw Zhang Fei crying and scolding Zhuge Liang angrily, they hurriedly came to persuade him. Zhuge Liang was so angry that his face was flushed, and he wanted to punish Zhang Fei heavily. Hua Xiong and the others pulled Zhang Fei away and persuaded him at the same time, so he was excused. At this time, outside the Shu military village, several horsemen and ** scouts took this one by one. It turned out that these scouts were originally exploring a few miles outside the Shu military village. Suddenly, I heard that there was a lot of scolding in the village, and I couldn't help but be curious to come and visit. At the same time, Zhuge Liang had ordered earlier to withdraw the patrol sergeants outside the wall. These scouts gradually approached, and they saw Zhang Fei drunk and angry at Zhuge Liang. When everyone saw it, their faces were overjoyed, and they hurriedly retreated and rushed back to Huang Zhong, who reported to Nanzheng City. When Huang Zhong heard this, he frowned, he didn't know if it was really a fraud, and he saw that it was getting late, so he didn't call Xu Shu and Zhang Liao to discuss until the next morning.
Xu Shu heard the past and couldn't help but groan. Zhang Liao's eyes were sharp, and he snorted coldly.
"This must be Zhuge Kongming's trick again! Zhuge Kongming saw that Nanzheng City was difficult to capture, and wanted to preserve his troops.
