Volume 5 The General Trend of the World Chapter 81 The Great Army Pressed the Realm

Zhang Ren held a wooden stick in his hand. [ ] As a crutch, it is difficult to move forward. In comparison, the surrounding Wudang Flying Army is much easier to walk.

These Wudang Feijun are all barbarians, and they have lived in the mountains and forests since they were children, and they are far more difficult to climb in the mountains and forests than Zhang Renqiang.

"General!" Shamoko walked over carrying the thistle terrestris bones, and behind Shamoko, there were two soldiers escorting a person, this person was dressed as a Taoist priest, his head and beard were already white, and he was quite a bit of a fairy wind bone.

"General, we've got another person." Shamoko spoke.

Zhang Ren glanced at the person's Taoist dress, and said, "Another Taoist priest, it seems that he is a hermit who cultivates immortals." ”

Songshan has a lot of legends about immortals since ancient times, and there are dozens of people who have ascended from Songshan Mountain, so many hermits who hope to become immortals like to run to Songshan. Therefore, since stepping into this one hundred and fifty miles of Song Mountain, Shamoke has caught many so-called hermits.

"General, what should I do? To kill or not to kill? Shamoko asked.

"Kill, our whereabouts must not be revealed. In addition, let the brothers hurry up and spare Xingyang as soon as possible. Zhang Ren said without the slightest hesitation.

……

Changan.

Bags of grain and grass were taken out of the granary and placed on carts.

Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan in his hand. Watching it all with a straight face.

Cao Rong came to attack with all his might, and Zhuge Liang immediately responded, urgently recruiting 150,000 troops and requisitioning 200,000 people.

Yizhou is rich in grain, after several years of exhibition, in Chengdu and Hanzhong have been stored a lot of grain, on the other hand, Yongzhou, has just recovered, the grain reserves are not much, not enough for the army. However, the Shu road is difficult to travel, even with the help of wooden oxen and horses, there are still 100,000 people who transport grain between Yongzhou and Yizhou.

150,000 soldiers and horses, plus 200,000 people, is actually all the family foundation of the Han Dynasty. It also included 30,000 Wudang Fei troops and 30,000 barbarian soldiers recruited from the command of Nanban Meng. And the 200,000 people also made the Han lose a lot of young and strong productivity. Fortunately, it is not the busy season for spring ploughing, otherwise, the vitality of the Han land will inevitably be greatly damaged.

Today's Chang'an City has gathered 100,000 troops, and they can go straight to Luoyang at any time. And the grain and grass have also been well prepared, but Zhuge Liang did not dare to go out of Tongguan immediately, Cao Zhen's calculation of surrounding the point to send reinforcements, how could Zhuge Liang not see that Zhuge Liang has always been cautious, and he is not completely sure, and he will never rush out of Tongguan.

But today, Zhuge Liang finally decided to raise his account.

Zhuge Liang sat in the tent. As far as the eye can see, there are some young generals around, such as Guan Ping, who is not yet forty years old, is already the oldest qualified here, and others such as Jiang Wei, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, and Huang Chong are all less than thirty years old.

Among the five tiger generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are still healthy, Huang Zhong is almost ninety years old, and he is also tough, Zhao Yun has not recovered since he was sick, and most of the time Zhao Yun still teaches his two sons at home.

Zhao Yun belongs to the kind of person who gets married late, after Liu Bei entered Shu, Zhao Yun got married, so Zhao Yun's two sons, Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang, are not very old. Compared with Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and others, the two Zhao brothers obviously do not have the talent of their fathers, and their martial arts are far inferior to Zhao Yun when they were young. So Zhao Yun didn't let the two of them go to the battlefield.

After Ma Qiu went through the battle of the Western Regions, he had grown into a general who stood alone, and compared with the horses of the year, Ma Qiu led the troops more delicately, plus Ma Dai assisted by him. The Ma Jiajun has become a very powerful cavalry force. At this time, Ma Jiajun was stationed near the Hetao, waiting for the next order.

"They're all young people!" Zhuge Liang sighed slightly, and then Zhuge Liang suddenly appeared, his age didn't seem to be very old, he was only fifty years old, not old.

Zhuge Liang didn't know that in history, because he independently supported the overall situation of Shu Kingdom, he finally died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, and he was only fifty-four years old when he died. However, because of the appearance of Adou, Pang Tong and Zhang Song both survived and shared a lot for Zhuge Liang, plus this Adou is not the Adou who can't be supported, so today's Zhuge Liang is not as exhausted as in history. At least the daily sleep time is relatively sufficient, and the food is quite a lot.

"I think back then, when I helped the ancestor settle Jingzhou, the ancestor was also fifty years old. At that time, I was just a young man, and now, in the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed. Zhuge Liang sighed softly, and there was a hint of longing in his eyes.

After a long time, Zhuge Liang returned to reality from his memories, his eyes fell on Jiang Wei's face, and a smile appeared.

This Jiang Wei has a good talent, and he has already obtained Zhuge Liang's kung fu by leading the troops to fight, and Fei Yi, another disciple of Zhuge Liang, has also shown a high talent and understanding in internal affairs.

Zhuge Liang knows a truth. In the era of war, a person like himself who is proficient in military affairs and political affairs can have a chance to show his talents if he takes refuge in any prince, but if it is a peaceful era, or if the monarch is not strong enough, a person like himself will definitely be tabooed by the monarch.

A person who is good at internal affairs can be a minister, and a person who is good at military affairs can be a general, but if a courtier is good at both aspects and monopolizes military and political power, I am afraid that it will not be long in the limelight.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang did not plan to cultivate a civil and military all-rounder, but to teach Jiang Wei and Fei Yi from the perspective of generals and political divisions.

Zhuge Liang coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and then said: "Now, my grain and grass are ready, and the military are ready to support Luoyang." However, Cao Zhen must have the idea of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and it is estimated that the Wei army has been waiting for us in Hongnong for a long time. The Wei army outnumbered us, and this battle was not easy to fight. Stability should be the first priority, the message should be gradual, and we must not be rash. ”

"The last general understands!" The crowd replied in unison.

"Yes, that's good." Zhuge Liang nodded, and then said: "Jiang Wei, order you to be the vanguard, lead 20,000 troops, and go out first." Pave bridges and roads for our army. ”

"The last general obeys!" Jiang Wei replied immediately.

"Guan Ping, order you to be the commander in chief and lead the Chinese army......"

"What?" Guan Ping was taken aback, originally thinking that Zhuge Liang was going to lead the troops in person. But I didn't expect to let Guan Ping be the coach.

"Prime Minister, I have never commanded a large army alone, and I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this important responsibility." Guan Ping said hurriedly.

"Guan Ping, you don't have to worry, I will also be in the army with you, but this handsome banner still has to fight your handsome banner, Cao Zhen has led the army for many years and has rich experience, so this time, I don't plan to let Cao Zhen know that I am also in the army."

……

After Cao Zhen captured Xingyang, he transferred the army to attack Luoyang, and as for Xingyang, there were not many people left to defend.

In the past, those Ao Cang, the Han army was more or less mixed with some people in it, but now, Cao Zhen will at most send a team of people to stay in Ao Cang, and there are some unimportant places, Cao Zhen is not even willing to waste this army.

As for Xingyang City, Cao Zhen only left a thousand people to defend, and now the road from Chen to Luoyang is in Cao Zhen's hands, plus there is Wang Ling on the Yellow River in the north, and Xiahou Ba in Yingchuan in the south, so Cao Zhen is not worried that the Han army will appear from the rear at all, so he did not send heavy troops to guard it.

Early in the morning, with the support of the guards, Le Qi came to the Xingyang City Tower.

If it is an ordinary person, if he is so seriously injured, even if he is rescued, he should still be lying on the bed now, and Le Qi has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is in the prime of life, and his health is very good, so now Le Qi is already able to get out of bed and walk around.

Le Qi is a person who can't sit still. Now that there is no general in Xingyang, although Le Qi is recuperating from his injuries, he can't help but go to the city tower every day to have a look. Although Le Qi also knew that the front and back were the territory of the Wei army, and it was impossible for an enemy to appear here, as a military general, Le Qi still couldn't help but take a walk in the army.

"I don't know how the general is doing......" Le Qi sighed lightly. Then Le Qi couldn't help but think of the scene of his injury that day.

The young guard, so powerful, almost killed himself in two moves, and what made Le Qi even more frightened was that the other party actually hit the same position of his heart shield with two blows.

Ordinary archers, at this distance, can hit the same position twice, but the key is that Le Qi was still holding a huge shield at that time, which can penetrate the iron shield and hit the same position again, which is definitely an unimaginable thing.

"It must be a coincidence!" Le Qi gently touched the location of the wound, if it was not a coincidence, then the other party's martial arts were too terrifying. I heard that when Lu Bu shot the halberd at the gate, Ji Ling and Liu Bei who were present didn't believe that Lu Bu could do it, and this person threw it twice, which was much more difficult than Lu Bu shooting the halberd, Le Qi didn't believe that there were people in the world who were more powerful than Lu Bu.

"Yes, it's a coincidence. However, this young man can penetrate my iron shield with ordinary weapons, which also shows that his strength is amazing, and the next time I have the opportunity, I must compete with him.

At this moment, the guard next to him suddenly pointed ahead: "General, look, what is that?" ”

I saw a piece of dirt rising in the distance, and then, a large flag appeared in front of Leqi's eyes.

In the dust, a group of people and horses faintly appeared, looking from a distance, none of them were riding horses, and the costumes on their bodies were also very strange, the distance was relatively far, Le Qi couldn't see clearly, but at least it was certain that this was not the armor of the Han army.

Le Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally saw the big words on the banner clearly.

"Wudang Flying Army?" Leqi's brows furrowed tightly.

"Wudang Flying Army? Haven't heard of it...... What a thing! ”
