Yangping Pass Cao Cao's camp.

Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu lying on the bed, and sighed helplessly: "The crime is not yours, Zhongkang, you should recuperate with peace of mind!" ”

Not long ago, Zhuge Liang sent his subordinates Zhang Fei and others to take a detour to rob Cao Cao's grain and grass. Speaking of Li Bei's generals, the level of force is more than one grade higher than that of Cao Cao's generals. Liu Bei's subordinates Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and Wei Yan were all enemies. And Cao Cao's subordinates only Xu Chu can barely compete with them, as for Xu Huang, Xiahoudun and others, although they are generals, compared with perverts like Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, the gap is still quite large.

Zhuge Liang seemed to have eaten Cao Cao's subordinates without generals, so he sent Zhang Fei and others to take turns to rob the grain, but Cao Cao had no choice but to send Xu Chu to personally protect the grain.

Cao Ying has no fierce generals. Speaking of kung fu, Xu Chu is the first in Cao Ying, and no one in Cao Ying is Xu Chu's opponent, especially after a big battle with Ma Chao, the name of "Tiger Idiot" spread all over the world, and unconsciously, people returned Xu Chu to a general like Guan Zhang Zhao.

And Xu Chu himself, his tail is even more upturned to the sky, looking like Lao Tzu is the best in the world. As for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, they have long been out of Xu Chu's eyes. Hearing that Zhang Fei often robbed grain, Xu Chu even wished that Zhang Fei would come to rob grain, and then beat Zhang Fei up.

Xu Chu, like Zhang Fei, likes to drink, and before going on the expedition, Xu Chu drank a lot, but Zhang Fei really came to rob the grain. A drunk Xu Chu confronted Zhang Fei, and the result can be imagined, Xu Chu was poked a hole by Zhang Feizhang's eight snake spears, lost the grain and grass, and escaped back.

Cao Cao walked out of Xu Chu's tent with a blushing face. Now that Xu Chu has fallen, there is no fierce general in his hands who can resist Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others.

First folded Xiahou Yuan, and now Xu Chu is also injured, Cao Cao suddenly remembered that a few days ago, the minister predicted that he would send troops this time, and said that he would fold a general, at that time he didn't take it to heart, but he didn't expect that what he said came true.

Since the beginning of the army, Cao Cao has experienced countless defeats and setbacks. Pursuing Dong Zhuo and being ambushed, being robbed of Chen Liu by Lu Bu, twice conquering Zhang Xiu, the defeat of Chibi, and even being beaten by Ma Chao to cut off his beard and abandon his robe, Cao Cao's achievements today are also accompanied by countless failures.

Think about the past defeat experience, when he pursued Dong Zhuo, he wiped out the whole army, and conscripted Zhang Xiu to fold his son and general Dian Wei, the 830,000 army in the Battle of Chibi was wiped out, and the beard and robe that was killed by Ma Chao in front of Tongguan were abandoned...... It was so difficult at the time, but I survived it! Now it's just a small setback, what is there to be afraid of! Guan Zhen is just a charlatan, what he says, how can he believe it!

For a while, Cao Cao's heart swelled with arrogance, and in an instant, Cao Cao returned to the heroic Cao Cao of the past! The Cao Cao who dominates the world.

……

Liu Bei's camp.

Although Cao Cao's army was close at hand, there was not much atmosphere of war in the camp. Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others study and play chess all day long, don't look at the two of them are very limited all day, but for a military general, there is no fighting, not to mention the uncomfortable energy.

The only thing that is more comfortable is Zhang Fei, who took people around Yangping Pass all day long to rob Cao Cao's grain transportation brigade, which made Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others envious.

Zhuge Liang had already ordered that the army should be stationed to defend Cao Cao, and no one was allowed to fight, waiting for Cao Cao to attack and fight a protracted war.

At this time, Zhuge Liang's choice is undoubtedly very correct. In terms of troops, although Liu Bei has slightly fewer soldiers, the gap between the two sides is not very large. However, the difference between the grain and grass of the two sides is relatively large.

When Xu Huang was defeated and retreated, he did not take away Nanzheng's grain and grass, which Zhang Lu had accumulated over the years, and Yangpingguan was only a stone's throw away from Nanzheng, with Nanzheng's grain and grass supply, Liu Bei was not afraid of a protracted war at all.

And Cao Cao, although he is known as having a lot of soldiers and a wide range of food, Cao Cao's grain has to be transported from Yanzhou Sili and even Jizhou and other places. At the beginning, Cao Cao occupied the north and greatly developed Tuntian, and the main places to implement Tuntian were Yanzhou and Sili. Therefore, although Cao Cao had food, he needed to transport it to Hanzhong over long distances.

The transportation of grain and grass is extremely labor-intensive and material-intensive. First of all, the people who transport grain are good to eat, and the people eat and chew horses, and it costs a lot to go back and forth, and from Yanzhou to Yangpingguan, the distance is long, and it takes time and effort to transport grain and grass. In comparison, Cao Cao's consumption was many times higher than that of Liu Bei.

No matter how rich Cao Cao is, he can't withstand such consumption, and there is still a Dongwu in the east, Zhuge Liang believes that after a year or two, Cao Cao will inevitably retreat in the face of difficulties and withdraw himself.

In the big tent, Zhuge Liang carefully looked at the array diagram on the table.

Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang is really a very diligent person, everything in the camp must be done personally, if it weren't for Pang Tong and others in Chengdu, I'm afraid Zhuge Liang would even manage Xichuan's government affairs.

In fact, it is no wonder that Zhuge Liang is a person who strives for excellence, and it is difficult for ordinary people to do things to meet Zhuge Liang's requirements, and Zhuge Liang will always feel uneasy when he hands things over to his subordinates. So all along, Zhuge Liang has always taken all the big and small things in his hands.

At this moment, a scribe walked in from outside, and Zhuge Liang looked up and saw that it was Chen Zhen who came in.

Chen Zhen is a native of Nanyang. used to be Yuan Shao's subordinate, Liu Bei contacted Guan Yu at the beginning, so that Guan Yu reversed Xu Du to pass five passes and kill six generals, and Chen Zhen also participated. Later, Yuan Shao was defeated in the battle of Guandu, and Chen Zhen took refuge in Liu Bei. At that time, Liu Bei had just defected to Liu Biao, and Chen Zhen could be regarded as taking refuge when Liu Bei was in trouble, so Liu Bei had always trusted Chen Zhen very much.

However, this Chen Zhen has average skills, no great talent, but he is good at doing things safely and meticulously, so after Liu Bei entered Shu, he arranged Chen Zhen under Zhuge Liang, the general of the left general, to be responsible for intelligence work.

Chen Zhen came to Zhuge Liang and said, "Military Master, you recently asked me to pay attention to the Shuzhong family, and I discovered something. ”

Liu Bei sent troops to Hanzhong and took away a large number of generals and soldiers. You must know that Liu Bei has only been in Sichuan for a few years, and there may be young people in Sichuan who will take advantage of Liu Bei's departure to jump out and make trouble, so since he sent troops, Zhuge Liang has been sending Chen Zhen to keep an eye on the Shuzhong family.

Zhuge Liang smiled, if Liu Bei leaves, and all the Shuzhong families stay honest, then it will be strange! These families, if you want to say that they don't have much loyalty to Liu Bei, if they take advantage of Liu Bei's absence to make trouble, maybe these families will be able to do it.

"If you find something, sit down and talk about it!" Zhuge Liang said to Chen Zhen.

"Strategist, I found out that during this time, there is a person who has been in contact with those families in Shuzhong!"

Zhou Shan is about to be discovered by Brother Pig! Ask for recommendations.

Today, I suddenly discovered a problem, Gluttony is a new book uploaded on August 10, and the starting point is within 200,000 words, and a new book can only stay on the new book list within 30 days of uploading. Whether it is over the number of words or after thirty days, it will be on the new book list. Just now, the gluttonous worm read it, and there are still 30,000 words to 200,000 words, and there are still six days left before the thirty days, and the gluttonous worm still wants to stay on the new book list for a few more days, so the gluttonous worm can't explode the fourth watch like the previous six days. I beg your pardon.

The gluttonous worm calculated, basically two days and five chapters should be fine. If there are not many gluttonous insects recently, please understand. To be honest, for the sake of this word count problem,Gluttonous worm has deleted several works related.,Now there is only one thousand-word essay left in the work-related to support the façade.,Gluttonous deleted a few works related.,I just want to have a few more chapters of text for everyone to see.,For the sake of gluttony, let's support "Adou"!
