Chapter 181: The First Nine Heavens of the Phoenix Chick (Part I)
Liu Bei heard this, so he said to Zhuge Liang.
"Meng Qi has a reason, and there may be a misunderstanding in this matter. What should be done according to the opinion of the military advisor? ”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he groaned for a while, and asked again in a deep voice.
"Both of the previous sins may have a cause. But how can you explain your ineffective fighting? ”
Ma Chao listened, but hesitated. At this time, Mrs. Zhurong rushed to be the first.
"Ming Gong doesn't know. When our king conquered the country of Ugo in recent years, he once traveled through a river, and the river was extremely poisonous, but the people of Ugo drank it, but their spirits were doubled. Our king misled this water, and almost died of poison. Fortunately, the Nu family saved him with tribal thaumaturgy and was able to save his life. Although this is the case, the toxins in my king's body have not been cleared, and the king of Shu has been recruited before. The slave family once advised my king to send others to help in the war. But my king did not dare to delay, but insisted on coming. In the previous battle, it may be difficult to stop a strong enemy due to the attack of toxin. I also hope that the king of Shu will forgive his sins. ”
Zhuge Liang listened, and then turned his gaze to Wen Ping. Wen Ping bowed slightly, indicating that the matter was not false. Zhuge Liang's face froze, and he asked Ma Chao in a cold voice.
"Is this as Madame said?"
In fact, after Ma Chao drank the poisonous water, Mrs. Zhurong saved him with her tribal ancient skills, and took thirty young girls within three days to remove their toxins with Zhenyuan. After that, Ma Chao not only solved the toxins, but also made them more invulnerable, and the muscles and bones in his body were stronger, as if he had been reborn. After that, Ma Chao's martial arts broke through the bottleneck and defeated the vulture bone of the lord of Ugo.
Ma Chao naturally didn't tell the truth, so he took it as an excuse and excused himself at the moment. When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly walked towards Ma Chao and helped him up.
"If Meng Qi is injured, why didn't he tell him earlier, so that the incident happened like this!!"
Ma Chao pretended to be bitter and choked up.
"The war between Tang and Shu is very important, how can we be neglected because of the super. Super deeply affected by the kindness of the King of Shu, he wanted to repay him with death, but he was injured and had many disasters. Super willing to suffer!! ”
Ma Chao said that he wanted to bow down again. Liu Bei hurriedly supported Ma Chao, comforted him, and then absolved Ma Dai. Liu Bei then summoned the generals of Shu and Barbarian to enter, and each gave wine to suppress the shock. Liu Bei said.
"This matter is all due to the spread of rumors by the Western Tang Dynasty and the mistaken belief of the lord of Ugo. General Ma is loyal to Lone, so you don't need to be surprised. From now on, whoever spreads rumors will be killed! ”
And they were commanded to retreat. Liu Bei, the generals and Ma Chao went to another village to set up a banquet to suppress the shock. The matter is over for now. After the banquet was dispersed, the vulture still remembered Ma Chao's betrayal today, and returned to the account with hatred. Suddenly, on the way, several soldiers stopped the vulture. The vulture's face froze, and before he could open his mouth to ask, he heard one of the soldiers speak.
"The general does not need to be suspicious. The military advisor is please. ”
When the vulture bone heard that it was Zhuge Liang, his face was shocked, and he immediately remembered that if Zhuge Liang hadn't interceded for him today, he was afraid that he would have been in a different place earlier. The vultures groaned for a while, and then followed the soldiers. Suddenly, the vulture came to a tent. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei have been waiting for a long time. The vulture bone showed a little surprise, and Zhuge Liang shook his fan and smiled.
"The lord of Ugo is worthy of being a hero among people. Seeing it today, it is especially impressive. ”
Hearing this, the vulture bone bowed, looked at Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang secretly, and said angrily.
"Although a certain is a foreign race and does not accept the king, he also understands what loyalty is. I don't know if the king of Shu and the military advisor have important things to order? ”
Liu Bei listened to the words and smiled but did not answer. Zhuge Liang groaned.
"The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to serve. Today, it can be seen that Ma Mengqi is by no means a benevolent and righteous person, but when he sees danger, he immediately abandons him. If the lord of Ugo does not know how to seek the master, he is afraid that he will die one day without a place to be buried! “
Hearing this, the vulture bone's face changed drastically, and the huge eyes kept spinning, not knowing what Zhuge Liang wanted. Zhuge Liang smiled, and then said.
"Ma Mengqi is a person, and the heart of King Liang and Shu is bright. The lord of Ugo has extraordinary martial arts, and he is also invulnerable. If he really still has a residual poison in his body, how can he defeat the lord of Ugo afterwards? This person is ambitious, and the King of Shu will get rid of it sooner or later, but at the moment of the current war, he will focus on the overall situation first and will not expose it. ”
The vulture bone narrowed his eyes and his brain was spinning, don't look at him with well-developed limbs, but he is a careless and careful person. Zhuge Liang told him about this, and he must have a plan. The vulture bone's face sank, and then he asked.
"I don't know what the King of Shu and the military advisor want?"
Zhuge Liang made a move and said slowly.
"Ma Mengqi is not the master of the Ming Dynasty, he rules the Southern Barbarians with violence, and he is not a person from the Southern Barbarians, and Liang heard that there are many cave masters and chiefs in the barbarian realm who have complaints about him. It's just that he was timid and didn't dare to attack. The lord of Ugo is a loyal man and a man of great talent, so why not replace him? If the lord of the Ugo Kingdom has this intention, my Shu Kingdom is willing to do its best to help. ”
Hearing this, a pair of giant eyes shot out two rays of light in an instant, and recalled Ma Chao's betrayal today, his face became darker and darker, and then he remembered Zhuge Liang's words, his heart was bright, he looked at Liu Bei, and asked in a deep voice.
"Does the King of Shu want to turn against him?"
When Liu Bei heard this, he laughed, covered his palms and said.
"If the lord of Ugo is willing to vote, why worry about the great cause?"
Hearing this, the vulture bone said in his heart.
"Ma Mengqi treats me like dung, and when I abandon it, I will abandon it, and there is no benevolence. Liu Xuande has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, and he is complemented by Zhuge Liang. If the two of you really help me, you want to take Nanban, like a treasure in your pocket!! Ma Mengqi is unkind first, why should I be loyal to him!? ”
After thinking about it, the vulture knelt on the ground and shouted.
"King Mengshu doesn't think a certain is lowly, how dare a certain not try his best to repay him!? May the liver and brain be smeared to the ground, and the effect of death!! ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he laughed endlessly, and then helped up the vulture bone. Zhuge Liang's face was unmoved, as if he had expected it, and at the moment, the vulture bone was like this, first asking him to lurk beside Ma Chao, waiting for an opportunity. The vulture bone led away. The next day, the heavy rain was hazy, Ma Chao woke up, and Mrs. Zhurong urgently persuaded him to go to the vulture bone to appease him. Ma Chao also knew what happened yesterday, and the vulture bone would be angry, and after dressing, he came to the vulture bone tent. The two met and finished the ceremony. Ma Chao pretended to be bitter and repeatedly confessed his crimes. The vulture sneered in his heart, where would he believe Ma Chao's hypocrisy. But he didn't break it. The two of them have their own ghosts, and although they seem to be harmonious on the surface, they both have a heart of caution.
But it was said that this heavy rain would take several days at a time. Two days ago, Wen Han, Pang Tong and others rushed to Jiameng Pass. Guan Yu hurriedly led the generals to greet him. Wen Han then introduced Pang Tong to everyone. When everyone heard this, it was the phoenix chick Pang Tong, who was as famous as Wolong Zhuge Liang, and hurriedly looked over. I saw Pang Tong wearing a green brocade deciduous robe, short in stature, dark skin, sunken eyes, a collapsed nose and a big mouth, extremely ugly. Except for Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu, everyone had different faces. Guan Yu frowned even more, and Dan Feng's eyes showed a little disdain. Everyone's faces changed, Pang Tongyi looked at it in his eyes, but he was not angry, he smiled, and bowed to everyone. Everyone also replied one after another, but it was all superficial work, without any respect. When Wen Han saw it, he was afraid that everyone would offend Pang Tong and was about to shout, but Pang Tong secretly cast a glance at Wen Han to stop it. Wen Han made eye contact with Pang Tong for a while, knowing that Pang Tong wanted to convince people with his talents.
After the ceremony, Wen Han led everyone back to the gate, and saw that there were fire marks everywhere, and there were dozens of huge cracks, and the female wall was even more desolate. Wen Han's eyes froze, and Xi Zhicai hurriedly told him about the past. Wen Han listened, and the speed teaching soldier took the giant crossbow. Moments later, five or six soldiers arrived pushing a huge crossbow. Wen Han stared intently and looked carefully, the design of this giant crossbow was really exquisite, and Wen Han admired it again and again. Xi Zhicai told him on the side about the power of this giant crossbow. When Wen Han heard this, this giant crossbow was hundreds of meters away, shooting the impregnable Jia Mengguan into a thousand holes, and he couldn't help but inhale cool air. At this moment, Pang Tong was shocked, walked to the giant crossbow, and muttered.
"Oh? Madame Huang really made this dragon and tiger crossbow! ”
When Wen Han heard this, he asked Pang Tong. It turned out that as early as more than ten years ago, not long after Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang came out, Pang Tong was a guest at Zhuge Liang's house, and he happened to see the model of this dragon and tiger crossbow, and he was very curious, so Zhuge Liang asked. Zhuge Liang replied that it was made by his wife Huang Yueying, and he told him the idea of a dragon and tiger crossbow. At that time, although Pang Tong was shocked, he didn't care, after all, it was difficult to make this dragon and tiger crossbow, and it could be said that it was nonsense.
"can make such a sharp weapon, it seems that Zhuge Kongming's wife is really a strange woman."
Wen Han's eyes narrowed and muttered. Pang Tong then told him that he heard Zhuge Liang say that Huang Yueying had met a strange person when he was young and gave him his Mojia strange learning. Huang Yueying is gifted, and she knows it as soon as she learns it, and this dragon and tiger crossbow is the essence of the wisdom of the Mo family. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh and marvel.
When he was young, Wen Han led everyone to the Guanzhong Pavilion to discuss matters. Wen Han sat in the high hall, his face calm, and asked in a condensed voice.
"The other army has such a sharp weapon as the dragon and tiger crossbow, and it is difficult to hold it for a long time. Be proactive. Do you have a plan? ”
When Xu Shu heard this, he attended and said.
"This dragon and tiger crossbow can not only be used for siege purposes, but also for defense, it is also infinitely powerful. If our army wants to attack the other village, it will be difficult. What's more, Shu Village is heavily guarded, if it is hard to win, I am afraid that it will lose more and win less. ”
When Guan Yu heard this, he snorted coldly and shouted.
"Humph! Although the dragon and tiger crossbow is powerful, it is extremely bulky. A certain can first lead the black wind to ride around its fortress and disturb it, so that its arrows are shot out, and our army can break it if it is hit with great momentum!! ”
As soon as Guan Yu said this, Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up and he attended.
"Guan Gong's plan is very clever. But give it a try. ”
When Guan Yu heard this, his face was happy, and he wanted to ask for his life. At this moment, Pang Tong shook his head.
"Guan Gong's plan is good, but it is too rigid. At first, it may be a surprise, but after a while, Zhuge Liang will fortify, so he will ambush outside the village, so what can he do? ”
