Chapter 128: Xu Huang Carelessly Lost the Barrier (II)

Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently, made a move of the fan, and said in a condensed voice.

"At the moment, the enemy has not retreated, and Brazil County has not yet stabilized. The lord and the princess have small profits, and they really shouldn't be so indulgent. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately frowned, his heart was unhappy, and he beckoned.

I heard that in the past, the warrior kings were fighting and doing music, the soldiers were happy, and the soldiers were happy, so they could fight bravely and be brave enough to die!! Why don't you make sense? Quick-back !! ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and chuckled, and stood up. When the generals saw this, no one dared to speak. Liu Bei was already drunk at this time, and he also helped him to turn into the back hall. Liu Bei came to the bed, fell down, and fell asleep. Sleep until midnight and wake up. Liu Bei's drunkenness faded, and he told Liu Bei about Zhuge Liang's affairs. When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately regretted it. The next morning, I dressed and ascended to the hall, and asked Zhuge Liang to apologize.

"Yesterday I was drunk, and I was prepared to offend my words, and I hope Kong Ming will not be worried."

Zhuge Liang has long forgotten about it, and he talks and laughs freely. Liu Bei saw it and said again.

"Yesterday's words, but I have lost. Kong Ming is right, Fang Jin's great enemy is still in the hinterland of Brazil, and it is not far from Guanzhong, so he should not overindulge. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled firmly.

"Liang is a minister, even if the lord has a fault, but he has to say it at different times. Liang pointed directly in front of everyone, which detracted from the majesty of the lord. The monarch and the minister are lost, why the only lord? ”

Liu Bei also laughed when he heard this, and he was as happy as ever. When he was young, Liu Bei's expression sank, and Gu Zhuge Liang said.

"Now Guan Yunchang and Xu Gongming's two armies met and withdrew to Yulong. These two people are not ordinary people, according to the opinion of the military advisor, how to resist them? ”

Zhuge Liang listened to the words, his face was determined, and he asked Liu Bei first.

"Can the lord follow Liang's earlier orders and unite with Nanbanye?"

"What the military advisor says, Bei will naturally obey."

Liu Bei immediately told the Southern Barbarians one by one, and then said that he had recently heard that the barbarian king Meng Shu had made a comeback, but he was defeated by Wen Han, and most of the chieftains who went with him were captured. Zhuge Liang listened, and asked Liu Bei again.

"According to the lord's opinion, how about the barbarian king Meng Yu?"

Liu Bei listened, groaned for a while, and then replied.

"I haven't met this person yet. But listening to Gongheng's report, although this person is careless and ambitious, he is narrow-minded and will be revenged. ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he smiled brightly and said calmly.

From this point of view, that Meng won repeatedly defeated by Wen Bufan, and he must be unconvinced. According to Liang's expectations, within a month, this person will definitely regroup, gather most of the soldiers and horses, and commit Zitong again, and the number of troops will definitely be better than before. If this is the case, the lord can send a wise man and a brave general to help in the battle. If Zitong was in danger, Wen Bufan would naturally ask for help from Guan Yunchang. Immediately, the lord will be able to recover Brazil without much effort. Then attack with the barbarian army before and after, you can break Zitong and drive Wen Bufan out of Xichuan. ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately covered his palms and laughed, even claiming that it was wonderful.

On the other side, after Guan Yu withdrew to Yulong City, the whole army was completed, and there were originally about 50,000 soldiers and horses, but now with Xu Huang's soldiers and horses, there were only more than 30,000 people left. Guan Yu and Xu Huang knew that it was because of Zhuge Liang, and the two brothers could be said to hate Zhuge Liang very much, and they couldn't wait to get rid of him quickly. Then the two brothers discussed for a while, sent someone to quickly send documents, rushed to Zitong, and reported the war in Guanzhong.

Let's say that half a month ago, Wen Han learned from Xu Huang's urgent report that Zhuge Liang took the waterway, took the Yi road, crossed the sea and entered the Sichuan, and joined Liu Bei, and the 30,000 army was attacking Guanzhong. When Wen Han heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he urgently sought Li You to discuss. Li You listened, pondered for a while, and taught Fu Wenhan not to mess with himself. In the previous battle, although it was a big victory, it was escaped by Meng. With Meng's temperament of being retribution, he will inevitably make a comeback with great fanfare soon. If troops were sent from Zitong to rescue Guanzhong at this time, Meng Shu would soon lead the army to kill, and the two would not be able to take care of each other, and the two counties of Brazil and Zitong would be in danger. What's more, Guan Yu is in the realm of Shangyong and Dongchuan, commanding heavy troops, and it doesn't take half a month to rush to Guanzhong. Immediately Guan Zhong related to the rescue of Yu, naturally nothing happened. Wen Han heard this, but his brows were deeply locked, and there was a deep sadness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Li You bowed his hand and asked in a condensed voice.

"I don't know what the lord is worried about?"

"The one I am concerned about is Zhuge Kongming. This person is more intelligent than demons, if this person has not yet entered Sichuan, there is my second brother in the pass to rescue, naturally there is nothing. But Zhuge Kongming is now in Sichuan, giving advice to the big-eared thief, but I am afraid that if there is any case, it will be difficult to protect Guanzhong!! ”

When Li You heard this, his face couldn't help but be shocked, although Zhuge Liang was famous, Wen Han was not a weak person, not to mention that the two had a confrontation. But Wen Han was particularly jealous of Zhuge Liang. Li You was very puzzled. But how did he know that Wen Han was a person from later generations, and he knew Zhuge Liang's ability.

Li You groaned for a while, then opened his mouth to speak.

"Don't worry about it, lord. Guan and Xu, the two Ming dukes, are both wise and brave people, how could they be so easily defeated by Zhuge Kongming!? At the moment, the lord still needs to prepare in advance to prevent the barbarian army from invading again. ”

When Wen Han heard this, his face sank, and he bowed his head heavily, and then ordered to pull out soldiers and horses to guard the various passes of Zitong, and set up guard towers everywhere to probe the military situation.

About half a month has passed, and in this half month, Wen Han has been distracted. One day, a sergeant suddenly came with an urgent report. Wen Han's face changed, and he hurriedly opened the letter and looked at it, knowing that Guanzhong had been lost, and Guan Yu and Xu Huang were both defeated by Liu Jun. At that moment, Guan Yu sent a book to ask for advice. After Wen Han finished watching, his mind was in turmoil, and he urgently called Li You to come over to discuss. When he was young, Li You hurried into the public hall, and when he saw Wen Han's brows furrowed, he knew that something was not good, and a thought suddenly surged in his heart.

"Could it be that Guanzhong is really not guaranteed!?"

Li You secretly paid in his heart, and the salute was finished. Wen Han then told Li You about Guanzhong. When Li You heard this, his face changed continuously, and it was the time when he hesitated. Suddenly, there were soldiers to report, saying that the barbarian realm was carefully reciprocated, and the barbarian king Meng was obtained, and the king of Duosi and his wife Mrs. Zhurong lobbied the various tribes of the barbarian realm for him, so he got 100,000 soldiers, and now he has prepared heavy grain and grass, and is going to the realm of Zitong to kill.

Wen Han's face suddenly changed drastically when he heard this, and his heart was like numbness. Li You's bright eyes shone brightly, suppressed his panic, pondered for a while, and suddenly said to Wen Han.

"The barbarian army is strong, and it comes with hatred, and Meng has been repeatedly tricked before, so this time the army must be more cautious, and it is not easy to show flaws. However, our army was in an unfavorable situation in Brazil, and the important city of Guanzhong had been lost, and it was difficult to defend. According to a certain opinion, it should be abandoned, and all the soldiers and horses of the two generals Guan and Xu should be transferred to Zitong to resist the barbarian army. ”

When Wen Han heard this, his face sank, and he immediately shook his head and retorted.

"No!! If this is the case, the big-eared thieves can get a county in Brazil without blood, and they will immediately take advantage of the situation to pursue and attack Zitong with the barbarian army. At that time, we will face the enemy from the beginning to the end, it will be difficult to take care of each other, and it will be difficult for Zitong to protect!! ”

When Li You heard this, his face suddenly sank, and his eyes were solemn and he looked at Wen Han and said.

"My lord, our army has been fighting viciously in Sichuan for a long time, and most of the soldiers are homesick and tired of war. And the Liu army came in full swing, and the barbarian army also came with a grudge. If our army wants to resist it, even if it can win, it will also suffer heavy losses. At that time, the vitality of our army was greatly damaged, and Cao Mengde, who was in the Central Plains, had already developed strength. Don't forget the lord, Cao Mengde is all over the country, and now the only one who can compare with him is the lord. Cao Mengde has always regarded the lord as a thorn in the flesh, if it weren't for the brave soldiers of our Northwest Army, the elite soldiers, and many highly talented and wise men guarding it, he would have waved his army to attack a long time ago!

For Cao Mengde, compared with Liu Bei and Sun Quan, the more fearful person is the lord who dominates the northwest. Now that the lord has been fighting for many years, consuming huge amounts of food and nearly 100,000 soldiers, the situation in the northwest is gradually unstable. If there is a big loss, Cao Mengde will march to the northwest, wanting to attack the northwest with the momentum of thunder, and then turn to the world, level Liu Bei, capture Sun Quan, and within ten years, you can dominate the country!! ”

Li You's words are loud and sharp. Wen Han suddenly realized that for Cao Cao, he was the biggest obstacle to his hegemony, and if Cao Cao wanted to dominate the country, he would definitely want to eradicate himself all the time. Wen Han felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, his eyes closed, and he suddenly fell silent. Li You knew that Wen Han was thinking about it, and he didn't bother, and stood calmly in place.

I don't know how long it took, Wen Han sighed, his face was full of unwillingness, and said to Li You.

"I originally wanted to dominate Shu and establish the foundation of the emperor. Therefore, there were many fierce battles in Xichuan, and the war was several years together. Now that he has finally entered Yizhou and won Zitong and Brazil, he is really unwilling to give up now!! ”

Li You's expression was shocked, his eyes were deep and clear, and he said slowly.

"If the lord wants to become an emperor, why should he only care about the land of Yizhou. As long as the situation is stabilized, the pass is guarded, the governance is strong, and the rest and recuperation are millions of people in the northwest and Dongchuan, why worry about the emperor's success!? ”

As soon as Li You said it, Wen Han seemed to open his mouth, and his horizons suddenly became broader, and he said to Li You.

"If it weren't for Zhongwen's words, I wouldn't have understood."

Li You saw that Wen Han had an epiphany, and his heart was overjoyed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Wen Han is good at listening to people's words, especially at critical moments, and there is a kind of decisiveness that is different from ordinary people. It is precisely because of Wen Han's temperament that he can stop in time when he is about to make a big mistake, so as to wait for the opportunity to turn the tide. Li You was very relieved in his heart, and then gave up.

"The Lord can realize it thoroughly, which is really a blessing for the people of the Northwest. As for Yizhou, the lord does not need to be too sorry. The barbarian people do not obey the king, and the barbarian king Meng Shu is not a good kind of person who is willing to be subordinate. The reason why Meng Shu and Liu Bei joined forces was because of the great power and trend of the lord. If the lord withdraws from Yizhou, Meng Shu and the big-eared thieves will inevitably turn against each other in order to compete for Zitong and the two counties of Brazil. Even if the lord can order a wise and brave general to guard the Jiameng Pass, waiting for the opportunity to move. When the two of them are both defeated, they can take advantage of the situation to attack, and they can retake Zitong and Brazil County. At that time, the lord was accumulating strength in the northwest, and the sergeants at that time no longer had the feeling of being war-weary, and they were all brave, and within a year, they could pacify Yizhou. ”

Wen Han calmed down, listened carefully, and then replied.

"I will remember the good words of Zhongwen and Jinshi."

After Wen Han finished speaking, he followed Li You's words and sent someone to send a letter to Yulong City, and at the same time ordered the troops to pack up and prepare to withdraw. When the soldiers heard that Wen Han kept his promise and returned to the northwest, they were all overjoyed, and they all looked forward to their hometowns and prepared at the moment. Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and other generals heard about the withdrawal, but they were puzzled, thinking that Wen Han was planning to meet one after another. After Zhao Yun and Wei Yan finished saluting, Wei Yan first scrambled to ask.

"I heard that the lord wants to withdraw from Xichuan, I don't know if there is such a thing!?"

When Wen Han heard this, his face sank, and he looked at Wei Yan and Zhao Yun with unwilling looks in their eyes, and said in a condensed voice.

"My order has fallen, why should Wen Chang doubt it!?"

When Wei Yan heard this, his face immediately became anxious, and he bowed his hand.

"We waited for so many soldiers and horses to be injured before we won Zitong and the two counties of Brazil, why did the lord abandon them!?"

When Wen Han heard this, his sword eyes opened suddenly, and his eyes burst into two rays of light, and his whole body was forced to emit a majestic momentum. Wei Yan's heart trembled, knowing that he had offended Wen Han Zunwei just now, and hurriedly said his guilt. Zhao Yun, who was on the side, frowned, and suddenly recalled that Wen Han promised a month ago that he would withdraw to the northwest when the war in Brazil and Zitong was stable. But at the moment, the situation in the two counties has not yet stabilized, but Wen Han wants to withdraw his troops, and something big will happen. Zhao Yun was certain, and after bowing his hand, he asked.

"The lord's sudden withdrawal of troops has changed and the lord has had to withdraw to the northwest!?"

Wen Han bowed slightly, and then told Zhao Yun and Wei Yan about the battle in Guanzhong and the matter of Meng Shu's army. When the two of them heard this, they both changed color, and their eyes showed surprise.
