Kong Ming lantern!

It's Kong Ming Lantern again!

Last time, Su Zhe used Kong Ming lantern to parachute and sneak attack Yinping City, but this time, Su Zhe used Kong Ming Lantern to fly to the top of the mountain and sneak attack Dingjun Mountain.

Once from the top down, once from the bottom up, it's just a change of direction, but the result is just as deadly.

"I didn't expect that Kong Ming Lantern could still be used like this, it can't be prevented, it can't be prevented......" Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed,

The left and right Fazheng, Ma Chao and Ma Dai brothers, all sighed and amazed.

Everyone's face showed deep helplessness.

They asked themselves that after experiencing the defeat in the Yinping Battle, they had done it seamlessly, and they had taken precautions to the extreme by using Kong Ming Lantern on Su Zhe again.

It's a pity that even if they tried their best, they still couldn't prevent it, so Su Zhe once again used Kong Ming Lantern to capture Dingjun Mountain in a whimsical way.

This kind of "pervasive" resourcefulness made all of them feel deeply helpless, as if all of them combined were not Su Zhe's opponents.

"The Kong Ming lantern invented by Zhuge Liang, I didn't expect it to be used to the extreme by the Su thief, it's really, alas, ......"

Zhuge Liang shook his head again and sighed.

Liu Bei's thoughts were churning, he was at a loss, and after being stunned for a long time, he woke up from his anger.

Looking at Guan Yu who was kneeling on the ground, Liu Bei let out a long breath, still helped him up, and comforted: "That's it, Yun Chang, you have done your best, who would have thought that Su Thief would use such a way to break the military mountain." ”

"Your Majesty, I ......" Guan Yu choked up, and was forgiven by Liu Bei, and he was ashamed and moved.

"It's a pity that Xing'er was killed by the Su thief, I lost a good nephew, and my big man lost a pillar of talent." Liu Bei pounded his chest and sighed, so sad and sad, two lines of old tears couldn't help but slip from the corners of his eyes.

Guan Yu was sad and indignant, and said angrily: "It is incumbent on the minister's family to die for His Majesty's great cause of Zhongxing, Xing'er died as he deserved, and his Majesty's attention to him was not in vain!" ”

"Yun Chang, Yun Chang, I'm sorry for you." Liu Bei patted Guan Yu on the shoulder, choked up and speechless.

For a while, the two brothers were so sad and sad that the people around them couldn't help but cry.

At this time, Ma Chao couldn't stand it anymore, and said sharply: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to be sad, Dingjun Mountain is very important, how can we fall into the hands of Su thieves so easily, we should take advantage of the fact that the enemy has just captured Dingjun Mountain, and take it back in one go." ”

Liu Bei suddenly woke up from his sadness, his face burned with anger, and he said hatefully: "Meng Qi is right, this time, I will personally go out to seize Dingjun Mountain and avenge Xing'er!" ”

When Guan Yu heard that Liu Bei wanted to avenge his son, he immediately became excited.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Zhuge Liang interrupted Liu Bei's anger, "The minister thinks that it is okay if this Dingjun Mountain is not taken." ”

Liu Bei was shocked, looked at him blankly, and couldn't understand the deep meaning of his words.

Zhuge Liang sighed: "Since the Su thief has a way to capture Dingjun Mountain, he must be ready for us to come and fight, and His Majesty only has less than 40,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and at most he can only bring more than 20,000 people and horses to Dingjun Mountain. ”

Liu Bei's face changed, and his angry mood was suddenly poured with cold water by Zhuge Liang.

"Dingjun Mountain is the throat of Yangping Pass, if you don't recapture Dingjun Mountain, how can you defend Yangping Pass?" Guan Yu asked excitedly.

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and arched his hand towards Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, the war has developed to such a point, it is time to accept the reality calmly, the minister thinks that Your Majesty should quickly abandon Yangping Pass and withdraw the whole army from Hanzhong." ”

Exit Hanzhong!

As soon as these words came out, everyone changed color and was in an uproar.

Liu Bei was even more shocked, he never expected that Zhuge Liang not only persuaded him not to seize Junshan, but also directly persuaded him to withdraw from Hanzhong.

"If Hanzhong is lost, the entire Yizhou will fall into the hands of the Su thieves, and the territory of my Han Kingdom will be compressed to the two states of Yongliang.

Before Liu Bei could react, Fa Zheng, who had been silent, stood up and objected.

Zhuge Liang said: "If it is possible, of course we must hold Hanzhong, and no one is willing to give up all of Yizhou to the Su thieves, but the situation has reached such a point, if we don't withdraw from Hanzhong, are we still waiting for another fiasco?" ”

"Why did Prime Minister Zhuge lose confidence, as long as we can recapture Dingjun Mountain, Hanzhong can be defended, why give up the last hope?" Fa Zheng also countered-for-tat and asked sharply.

"Fa Xiaozhi, why aren't you calm!" Zhuge Liang's face was gloomy, and he said sharply: "At this point, do you still have luck, let me ask you, do you have a way to guarantee that you can recapture Dingjun Mountain?" ”

Fa Zheng's expression was shocked, and he was choked back by Zhuge Liang for a while.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth fiercely and said resolutely: "If Your Majesty takes me forward, I will have my own way to recapture Dingjun Mountain!" ”

A trace of surprise flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes, as if he didn't expect that Fa Zheng would dare to release such a "wild word".

In his opinion, with Fazheng's wisdom and insight, he should know that Dingjun Mountain is a fact that cannot be taken back no matter what, and he should choose to give it up rationally.

He obviously forgot that Fa Zheng at this time had been forced by the situation and had lost his mind.

As a representative of Shu officials under Liu Bei, the reason why Fazheng can be reused by Liu Bei is that in addition to his merits and resourcefulness, more importantly, he has the entire Yizhou as his backing.

Liu Bei only owns the land of three states, and the importance of Yizhou is second only to Yongzhou, so Liu Bei naturally wants to reuse Fazheng in order to make the Shu people surrender, in order to show the importance he attaches to Shu.

And now if Liu Bei withdraws from Hanzhong, it is equivalent to losing the entire Yizhou, and Fa Zheng, the representative of Shu officials, is equivalent to losing his backing, which will undoubtedly be fatal to the impact of Fa Zheng's status in the Han court.

Therefore, in order to keep Hanzhong, the last county in Yizhou, Fa Zheng had no choice but to break his head and go against his own reason.

"Fa Xiaozhi, you-" Zhuge Liang was so angry by Fa Zheng's "confusion" that he was speechless for a while.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that we must not abandon Hanzhong, even if there is only the last glimmer of hope, we should try hard." Guan Yu was corrected again.

Ma Chao also said: "Hanzhong is the throat of Yizhou, the barrier of Guanzhong, such an important place, it must not be given to the Su thief!" ”

Except for Zhuge Liang, everyone is on the side of Fazheng.

Liu Bei himself was not willing to lose Hanzhong, and seeing that so many people advocated retaking Dingjun Mountain, he said: "I have made up my mind, Dingjun Mountain must not be abandoned, and it is even more impossible for Hanzhong to give up. ”

Seeing that Liu Bei was so stubborn and resolute, Zhuge Liang had no choice, and he couldn't persuade him again, so he could only shake his head helplessly and sigh.

At that moment, Liu Bei ordered the troops to be killed, and they went to Dingjun Mountain.

"The minister is willing to lead the army to recapture Dingjun Mountain with His Majesty." Guan Yu desperately wanted to regain his dignity, and he wanted to avenge his son, so he naturally actively asked for war.

Liu Bei glanced at him, but said: "Yangping Pass is the top priority, and there must be no mistakes, Yun Chang and the prime minister stayed to guard the city, and I and Ma Mengqi went to recapture Dingjun Mountain." ”

"Your Majesty."

"Yun Chang doesn't need to say any more, it's decided, without further ado, I'll set off."

Liu Bei politely rejected Guan Yu's invitation to fight.

There is no way, although he forgave Guan Yu, but now he has a great distrust in Guan Yu's ability, and he naturally does not dare to take him there anymore in the battle of Dingjun Mountain.

Guan Yu also knew what it was for, and he couldn't be persistent anymore, so he could only silently lead the order.

At that moment, Liu Bei left Guan Yu Zhuge Liang, led 15,000 soldiers and horses to guard Yangping Pass, and led more than 20,000 men and horses to Dingjun Mountain.
