The sun, stepping on the sunset, Zhuge Liang returned.

"Mr. Kong Ming is back!" Liu Bei was overjoyed and pulled Zhuge Liang.

Wolong and phoenix chicks, you can settle the world if you get one, this folk proverb is true or false, at least, after he Liu Bei invited Zhuge Kongming and Pang Shiyuan, it is really different, and the meteorological update is a psychological momentum that can only be understood and cannot be spoken.

Not to mention anything else, last night and this morning, with Pang Tong leading the way, he Liu Bei's more than 1,000 elite horsemen finally didn't have to hide their tracks, and directly swaggered all the way from Tongbai Mountain to Chuyang, and the garrisons in the county along the way seemed to have not seen it.

This is the relationship between Pang Tong or the Pang family.

Pang Tong is so powerful, what about Zhuge Kongming, who is as famous as him?

Zhuge Liang withdrew his hand without a trace, and said with a smile: "Lord, Liang is late, but he has taken a trip to Zhuyang Pass." ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei and Pang Tong pondered, but Guan Yu and the others were puzzled.

"If the lord wants to enter Hanzhong, he needs to pass through Zhuyang Pass."

"And now Zhuyang Pass is garrisoned by Liu Jingzhou's henchman Wen Ping."

"Therefore, Liang went to Zhuyang Pass, which was a way to borrow."

Guan Yu and the others suddenly realized, but Liu Bei and Pang Tong had an expression of "sure enough".

Zhuge Liang didn't care what their expressions were, and continued: "Not only is it a loan, but Liang also borrows troops and food from General Wenpin!" ”

At this time, even Liu Bei and Pang Tong were incomprehensible.

Pang Tong and Liu Bei all knew that they relied on more than 1,000 elite horsemen to attack Hanzhong, and if they had no grain and grass, they must be in great difficulty.

Even so, Liu Bei and Pang Tong did not expect to be able to borrow troops and food.

No matter how iron the relationship between the princes is, who will lend you soldiers and food?

It must be known that it is not so easy to recover the borrowed soldiers and horses, the grain and grass lent out.

Later generations know that those who owe money are uncles!

Otherwise, there will be no saying in later generations that "Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, and there was no repayment of the loan".

However, however, Zhuge Liang borrowed soldiers and grain from Wenpin.

Looking at Zhuge Kongming's demeanor and the tone of his voice, it seems that this soldier and horse have also been borrowed, and the grain and grass have also been borrowed?

It's a bit hard to understand.

Taking advantage of the road to build Yangguan is a bit difficult to say in Liu Bei's opinion.

With the status relationship between Kong Ming and Pang Tong in Jingxiang, they may be able to take advantage of the road to build Yangguan.

But borrowing soldiers, borrowing food?

"I'm afraid that my uncle will come forward, it's impossible, right?" Pang Tong said secretly in his heart.

No matter how smart Pang Tong is, he would never have thought that Wen Ping actually has relatives in his heart, as long as he understands the future trend of Jingxiang, let alone borrowing troops and grain, it will not be difficult for Uncle Liu Huang to smuggle grain and grass through Zhuyang Pass in the future.

Jing Xiang's future is bleak, no matter how loyal Wen Ping is, he has to leave a way back for himself, right?

Pang Tong and Liu Bei didn't know this, Zhuge Liang pretended to be profound, and he wouldn't fight with them now.

……

Liu Bei suppressed the joy in his heart and asked, "Dare to ask Mr., how many soldiers can be borrowed from Zhuyang Pass, and how much is the grain and grass?" ”

The direction of the attack is there, but the grain, grass and soldiers and horses are the constraints of his Uncle Liu Huang, I didn't expect that Zhuge Kongming had just come out of the mountain, and these two problems were solved, could Liu Bei not be happy?

Zhuge Liang replied: "Five thousand elite soldiers, five thousand stones of grain and grass." ”

"This is borrowed privately by General Wenpin, and it needs to be hidden from Liu Jingzhou, which is already the limit of General Wen's ability."

Don't look at the garrison of Zhuyangguan There are 30,000 and 20,000 stone of grain and grass, but under the premise of hiding from Liu Jingzhou, being able to lend 5,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 stone of grain and grass is already the limit of what Wenpin can do.

No matter how much it is, it is possible to be detected by Liu Jingzhou.

If he borrowed troops and grain from Liu Jingzhou, at the moment, Liu Bei was still not qualified. Whether Zhuge Liang came forward or Pang Degong came forward, Liu Biao would not lend grain or troops to the current Liu Bei.

Liu Bei naturally understands this in his heart.

Therefore, being able to borrow 5,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 stone grain and grass, Liu Bei was already very satisfied.

"Thank you, Mr. Kong Ming!" Liu Bei bowed down sincerely and thanked him.

In Liu Bei's view, borrowing the road to build Yangguan, plus borrowing soldiers and food, this is all Mr. Tuo Kongming's relationship and favor. It can be seen that Kong Ming came out of the mountain, and he still sincerely assisted him Liu Bei.

5,000 elite soldiers, plus more than 1,000 elite horsemen, this is 6,000 soldiers and horses.

This point of soldiers and horses to attack Hanzhong is naturally a drop in the bucket; But there is no problem in taking Fangling, Shangyong, Xicheng and other important towns. At that time, with more than ten county towns in the east of Xicheng as a basis, it was possible to expand the army by another 20,000 or 30,000.

As for Hanzhong Zhang Lu's counterattack?

With an army of 20,000 or 30,000 in hand, plus Guan Zhang Zhao's bravery, as well as the resourcefulness of Kong Ming and Pang Tong, what about Zhang Lu?

5,000 stones of grain and grass, plus the 3,000 stones supported by the "Zhuge Family" in Chuyang, there are 8,000 stones.

Enough for 6,000 soldiers and horses to chew.

Besides, after taking Xicheng and other cities, there are still some captures.

If so, it shouldn't be too difficult for grain and grass to support the autumn harvest, right?

Perhaps, when the grain and grass are really poor, this Zhuyang Pass ......

……

At night, the moon has just risen, and the sky is full of stars.

The gate of Zhuyang Pass was quietly opened, and a torch shook three times on the city gate tower.

This is the agreed signal.

Seeing the agreed signal, Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, let's enter the customs!" ”

It's good to say that borrowing soldiers and grain needs to be done quietly, so what Zhuge Liang and Wen Pin agreed on was to pass the customs at night, and by the way, they also took away 5,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 stone grain and grass from Zhuyang Pass.

It's all quietly carried out under the cover of the night, and those who shoot are not allowed.

Under the moonlight, Liu Bei waved his hand: "Enter the customs!" ”

Guan Yu led more than 100 elites to ride in front, Zhao Zilong was behind, and Zhang Fei was guarding in the middle.

Even if they knew that there would be no ambush, Guan Yu and they didn't dare to take it lightly.

More than 1,000 elite riders, as well as more than a dozen carriages, slowly entered the customs along the open gate.

On Zhuyang, there were only dozens of bonfires burning, but there was silence inside the gate.

After entering the customs, the first thing I saw was thousands of soldiers and horses, spears like a forest, standing quietly on both sides of the road.

Guan Yu was surprised, thinking that he had been ambushed, and he was ready to fight with his horse.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang followed Guan Yu together.

"General Guan, slow down!" Zhuge Liang stopped Guan Yu.

This black rumbling, if Guan Yu makes a change and causes unnecessary misunderstandings and fights, he can be beaten with chickens and eggs.

At this time, a general rode over and arched his hand: "The last general, Wen Shuo, meet Mr. Kong Ming." ”

"The 5,000 elite soldiers agreed upon by my general and my husband, as well as 5,000 stones, grain and grass, have all been prepared."

As he spoke, Wen Shuo pointed to the thousands of elite soldiers standing quietly on both sides of the road, as well as the dozens of carts of grain and grass.

Zhuge Liang thanked him: "So, thank you." ”

looked around, but couldn't see Wen Ping's figure.

Zhuge Liang knew in his heart that at this time, Wen Ren was only afraid that he was silently seeing off on the city gate.

Borrowing soldiers and borrowing food is just a trivial matter for Wen Ping, but in his heart, he is afraid that it will be uncomfortable at this time.

As a loyal minister, but "hooking up" with others behind the back of the lord, can Wen Ping feel good in his heart?
