On the road of Shangyongguan, the word 'Liu' fluttered clearly on a big pole, and it was walking slowly.

"Step out of the city gate and look into the shadows. There are three graves in it, and they are similar. Ask whose mound it is, Tianjiang Guyezi. The power can row the South Mountain, and the literature can be the Jedi. Once slandered, two peaches killed three soldiers. Who can plan for this, Xiangguo Qi Yanzi. "A song is low and tactful, and there is always such an indescribable flavor in the long chant.

"Strategist, what kind of tune is this?" Liu Bei, who was in the golden armor robe, looked very happy, and after hearing Zhuge Liang's slightly sad tune, he couldn't help frowning and asked.

"Liang Fuyin."

Liu Bei was stunned, this tune is an ancient phrase used by the folk for funeral songs, and the tone is sad and sad. Liu Bei was slightly displeased when he heard this, and even more clumsy when he heard this, and his face was a little ugly: "Who made this song by the military advisor?" ”

"I wrote it when I was eight years old." Zhuge Liang spoke simply, and it seemed that he didn't seem to have much interest in talking to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei nodded a little understandingly, although he was born poor, but under his mother's words and deeds, he also had a certain cultivation of these words and tunes. The meaning of this poem is that during the reign of Qi Jinggong, there were three warriors named Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi. They are brave and brave, simple and slow to be a minister, go to the court with swords, and be proud and bullied, which is a big trouble for Jing Gong's henchmen. Yan Ying designed for Jing Gong to get rid of the three people, and he asked Jing Gong to send two peaches and ask them to receive them. The three of them refused to give in to each other, argued, and committed suicide one after another. ”

"Pull out the three heroes of Nanshan, and kill each other Fei Ertao." Liu Bei lowered his head and groaned, and then sighed, "Speaking of which, these three people are just to blame, if they didn't endanger the society, how could they cause this disaster?" Before Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he was not a famous general among my Han people, but once he caused a disaster, he was even more fierce than Xianbei Qianghu. It's a pity that our dynasty doesn't have a loyal and resourceful person like Qi Xiangyan Ying, otherwise, why would the Han be like this? ”

When these words came out, Zhuge Liang's face was a little moved, and he nodded with a smile. It seems that Liu Bei can have such an understanding, especially Liu Bei's words also praised Qi Xiangyan Ying, which caused Zhuge Liang's eyes to light up.

Historically, Qi Xiangyan was known for his honesty, frugality and humility. He has a big vision. He once predicted that the Qi regime would eventually be replaced by the Tian clan. He is not afraid of power, is not tempted, and is upright, and once exposed the crime of the powerful minister Cui Shu in public for plotting to kill Zhuang Gong, and also pointed out Qi Jinggong's mistakes three times in one day. Envoy to the State of Chu and the State of Wu, he maintained the dignity of the State of Qi with his witty and intelligent wisdom and dignified eloquence. He cares about civilians. Advocating political reform, Sima Qian called him "the virtuous minister of Qi".

All of this is admired by the Confucian and wise men of this era. Zhuge Liang has not yet become the prime minister of Shu in history at this moment, presumably at this time, he is also Yan Ying as a role model.

"Strategist, after this battle, if we inflict heavy damage on the Ma family and regain the glory of the Han Dynasty, the name of the military advisor will definitely go down through the ages and become a wise man who is even better than Yan Ying." Liu Bei's slowly slowed down Lu Ma speed, parallel to Zhuge Liang, and encouraged him.

"My lord, I'm afraid this battle won't go as smoothly as we imagined." Speaking of business, Zhuge Liang's face became a little solemn: "Compared to the Ma family, our army's intelligence system is like a child against a hero, and he has no power to fight back." Confidants don't know who they are, and the odds of winning are fifty percent. ”

"The military advisor is humble," a trace of worry flashed on Liu Bei's face, but then he was still resolutely focused: "This time, our army commander drove straight in, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and all the counties and counties he passed through surrendered to the city." From this point of view, His Majesty's heavenly prestige still exists, and the actions of the volunteers are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This is one of them. ”

"The military division conspired to the east, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way to order His Majesty's personal army to march east to Xiangyang, while our army led the main force to attack Chang'an in the north. Even if Ma Chao is brave and unmatched, he is also unskilled, once Chang'an is attacked, Ma Chao's layout is all wrong. Although there is a suspicion of going deep alone, Cao Mengde and Sun Bofu are also the heroes of the world, and under the opportunity to act, Ma Chao will definitely be overstretched and in a hurry. This is the second one. ”

"Third," when he said this, Liu Bei glanced at Zhuge Liang unnaturally, and there seemed to be a flash of shock on his face: "The three military divisions have such sharp weapons in their hands, and even if they encounter the Ma family's army, they can also turn things around." With this in hand, what is our army afraid of? ”

Zhuge Liang looked at the unnatural self-affirmation on Liu Bei's face, and suddenly felt a heaviness in his heart, like a boulder pressing down on his chest. He rolled his dark eyes twice, and finally said seriously: "Lord, I was just itching for a moment when I was itching to find such a sharp weapon, but I didn't expect it to be invented under the guidance of His Majesty." But ......" Zhuge Liang recovered to his previous sigh, and said very sadly: "But the lord also saw that in the first battle of the Southern Barbarians, he actually swallowed up the vulture bone cave and fell 20,000 warriors in one fell swoop, and there were no bones. Such sharp weapons are against the harmony of heaven and must not be used unless absolutely necessary. I now regret that I really invented it. ”

After speaking, Zhuge Liang sighed, suddenly raised his head and said solemnly to Liu Bei: "Lord, can you promise Weichen in this matter?" ”

"The military advisor sang Liang Fu this time, because he thought of this? ......" Liu Bei groaned, he knew that he had the courage to agree to send troops this time, in fact, because of such a reliance. But now Zhuge Liang actually talked about this, which really made him not know how to deal with it.

But at the same time, Liu Bei also knew that that thing was dead after all, and without Zhuge Liang's wisdom, he didn't know if he would have a chance to defeat the Ma family.

But just as Liu Bei was groaning, a desolate and thick horn suddenly sounded on the official road. Liu Bei was immediately moved, and shouted with his sword: "Array, the Ma family is coming!" ”

This kind of battle overture that inherits the Xiliangqiang people is a unique offensive order of the Ma Jiajun. Liu Bei had already heard it many times under Ma Chao's command, and every time it made the souls of Jiangdong's disciples scattered, he didn't expect that today, when he heard this kind of horn sound again, he was already the identity of the enemy and our army, and he was still ambushed......

At that moment, Guan Yu quickly ordered, and the marching formation turned into a defensive formation in a single stick of incense. At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and a big flag came into view. Liu Bei and Guan Yu turned their heads suddenly, and saw the word 'Li' embroidered with gold on the banner, and couldn't help but look at each other: among the generals of the Ma family, it seems that the only one surnamed Li is Li Yan and Li Zhengfang, who are not very famous.

"Liu Yuanjun, the master of the Ma family has a word to tell." The person who came was indeed Li Yan, a famous general who has been in charge of military logistics for many years, and it seems that a lot of light has been hidden under Ma Chao. This time, he was in charge of an army alone, and it seemed to have a refined heroic spirit that broke out of the cocoon and was reborn.

"What?" Liu Bei bent the corners of his mouth, it was not Ma Chao, so he calmed down. What's more, seeing that Li Yan's soldiers and horses are only 5,000, and his own vanguard this time also has 3,000 people, and there will be a steady stream of troops coming in the follow-up - this kind of encounter, it is more appropriate to say that Li Yan was shocked to hear the news and designed to besiege him, it is better to say that Li Yan is not able to do his best.

"Envoy, I'm afraid you're still thinking about the reinforcements behind you, right?" Li Yan saw Liu Bei's demeanor, and his face also showed a look of sarcasm: "You don't have to have this thought, General Wei of Hanzhong, General Zhao of Yongzhou, and General Xu of Liangzhou have entered the Linjiameng Pass. And when I saw the opportunity, I didn't want to let it go, so I asked a lot of people to work hard and spread the matter secretly. Right now, the Xichuan army behind you must be screening the truth and falsehood of the intelligence of the army's reinforcements, and I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of you for a while! ”

"What?!" Liu Bei was shocked, and there was a smear of blue ash on his fair face. Then he remembered that Ma Chao still had a word, and then asked: "What does King Yong have to say to me?" ”

"The lord said, this is the place where you are buried!" Li Yan laughed, and with a single move of the silver spear, five thousand iron horsemen swept towards Liu Bei's army like an angry wave.

Liu Bei only knew at this moment that Li Yan was teasing him, and immediately said angrily: "Yun Chang, behead this arrogant person with me!" ”

Guan Yu didn't say a word when he heard the order, Ma Chao personally gave the war horse like the wind, the cold saw in his hand was like fire, and he looked at the five thousand iron horsemen of the Ma family as if they were nothing, and led hundreds of his guards directly towards Li Yan to kill.

But when Li Yan saw this, he just pouted slightly: "Have courage but no strategy!" Then the figure retreated, but those rushing Ma family iron horsemen at the same time drew their throwing guns, even if Guan Yu was powerful in the world, but in the face of Li Yan's such a courageless and hateful approach, he could only give up his plan to break through for the time being, and shouted: "Erect a shield to meet the enemy!" ”
