Ma Tan looked at the Wei army who was driving away at the foot of the mountain suspiciously.

The little colonel beside him pointed down the mountain: "General, it doesn't seem that they are all gone." ”

Looking in the direction pointed by the little colonel, Ma Jian saw a small Wei army waiting there, and had no intention of leaving.

"That's all they kept?" Seeing the Wei army, Ma Tan smiled: "If there is only that, we don't have to worry." ”

Ma Tan is self-righteous and arrogant, and he can't listen to anyone's words about what he believes, whether it is right or wrong.

The days with him were not short, and the little colonel had already understood his temper, and of course it was impossible to say things that should not be said.

Fa Zheng led the Wei army away, and Ma Jian instructed the junior colonel beside him: "Pass the order, let the soldiers rest well, and wait until the enemy army has left far away, and then we will go down the mountain to take the enemy army guarding the mountain pass." ”

The colonel responded and went to convey the military order.

Ma Chao at the foot of the mountain also ordered the soldiers to be stationed on the spot.

He had already written down the things that Fa Zheng had confessed.

Mines were planted on the mountain roads, and as long as the enemy troops descended the mountain, there was no need for a sentry at all, and the detonated mines could warn him.

Ma Tan and Ma Chao confronted each other at Cuiping Mountain, and Fa Zheng led the army to advance all the way.

Along the way, they captured many fleeing Yizhou troops.

For the soldiers of the Yizhou Army, Fa Zheng did not hold them accountable.

The able-bodied remained in the army, while the old and infirm were given a corresponding settlement on the spot.

The attitude of the Wei army towards the prisoners quickly dispersed.

Many of the fleeing Yizhou troops appeared one after another, and some even took the initiative to come to the Wei army and surrender to them.

Unknowingly, Fa Zheng led the army to advance for five or six days.

It was getting dark, and he ordered his soldiers to be stationed.

After the soldiers were stationed, Fa Zheng was about to rest, when Yang Xiu's voice came from outside: "Has Fa Gong slept?" ”

Yang Xiu came to him so late, and Fa Zheng was a little puzzled: "Dezu still has something to report now?" ”

"Just now, another wave of Yizhou troops came to vote." Yang Xiu replied: "Some of them know where Liu Bei's family is. ”

Fa Zheng, who was already lying down, sat up suddenly: "Dezu, come in quickly!" ”

Yang Xiu entered the tent, and Fa Zheng didn't care about the cold, so he personally turned on the lamp.

He had already slept, and his clothes must have been thin.

"Fa Gong lie down quickly, but you must not catch the cold." Yang Xiu stepped forward to hold the lamp and persuaded Fa Zheng to fall asleep.

Fa Zheng also felt a little cold, handed the oil lamp to Yang Xiu, and he got into the bed.

Cao Shuo sent people to draw maps everywhere, and the people who drew the maps brought back a lot of crops from the body poison and other places, including cotton.

The cultivation of cotton has changed many habits of the people of the Central Plains.

In the years when there was no cotton, in winter, the people of the Central Plains could only use silk cotton or hemp cotton to resist the cold.

Silk cotton is expensive, and not everyone can afford to consume it.

Linen cotton, the effect of resisting the cold is not particularly good.

Since the introduction of cotton, it has been cultivated everywhere.

Fortunately, this crop was easy to grow and soon replaced ramie as the main material for clothing.

The quilts that people cover in winter are also covered with cotton wool.

Getting into the quilt, Fa Zheng felt warmer, and Yang Xiu put the oil lamp on the small table in the tent.

"Dezu said that someone knows where Liu Xuande's family is?" Fa Zheng is most concerned about the whereabouts of Liu Bei's family.

"Don't worry." Yang Xiu persuaded: "We have already grasped the whereabouts of Liu Xuande's family. I have sent for them to be captured, and they should be back before daybreak. ”

"Dezu bothered." Fa Zheng nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of murderous intent: "Has Zhuge Liang's whereabouts been detected?" ”

"Nope." Yang Xiu replied: "But someone has seen him. ”

"How?" Knowing that Yang Xiu had already interrogated the Yizhou Army who knew this, Fa Zheng urged.

"They said they went south, but no one knows where they went." Yang Xiu's answer made Fa Zheng frown.

"Southside?" Fa Zheng asked: "Are you sure you went south?" ”

"Exactly." Yang Xiu replied: "I asked a few people who claimed to have seen Zhuge Liang, and they all said that they went to the south. ”

"Further south is the Southern Barbarian Territory." Fa Zheng's brows tightened: "Could it be that he is going to take refuge in the barbarians?" ”

"Barbarians?" Yang Xiu smiled and said, "The Nanban has not yet been civilized, what can Zhuge Liang do if he votes for them?" ”

"Dezu, don't underestimate the barbarians." Fa Zheng said with a solemn face: "Today's Southern Barbarian King Meng is powerful and powerful, and he is also a rare warrior. There are 100,000 barbarian warriors under his command, and although the armament is rudimentary, all of them are not afraid of death. If Zhuge Liang can really vote for him, we will really have a lot of things to do in the future. ”

"Nanban is a barbarian after all, once the army arrives, will it be possible that they will not be able to pacify them?" Yang Xiu still had a contemptuous attitude towards the barbarians.

Yang Xiu had never seen the barbarians, and he didn't know how powerful they were.

Fa Zheng didn't intend to convince him right now.

If Zhuge Liang really served the Southern Barbarians, one day Yang Xiu would understand that it was not unreasonable for the barbarians to exist.

The mountains and forests in the south are dense, and the barbarians live in the mountains, and they have long adapted to the hardships in the mountains.

And the Wei soldiers born in the Central Plains were not familiar with mountain warfare, no matter how good they were on the plains, when they reached the boundary of the Southern Barbarians, once the two sides started a war, they would definitely not get much benefit.

What's more, the mountains where the Nanban live, the mountains and forests are perennially filled with miasma.

Once you accidentally enter the miasma-filled mountain forest, there is almost no chance of making it out alive.

"It's still early, and it will take some time for Liu Bei's family to be brought here." Yang Xiu said: "Fagong still rests early, and when the people arrive, I will come to invite Fagong." ”

"Dezu also rests." Fa Zheng said: "If Zhuge Liang really goes to Nanban, we have to stop for the time being, ask the lord first, and then make plans." ”

Yang Xiu said goodbye and left Fazheng's tent.

His guards waited outside.

"After Liu Bei's family sent me, wake me up immediately." Yang Xiu instructed the guards.

The guard answered, followed him, and walked to his tent.

After Yang Xiu left, Fa Zheng couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Attacking Yizhou, what he is most eager to do is to avenge his family.

Liu Bei died in Langzhong.

He could have killed the corpse to relieve his hatred, but Liu Bei died of the plague.

The consequence of the corpse killing is likely to cause a plague in the army.

Fa Zheng couldn't afford that kind of consequence, so he could only choose to burn Liu Bei's body.

said that it was a frustration of bones and ashes, but Fa Zheng felt that he still didn't understand his hatred.

Liu Bei killed his whole family at the beginning, could it be that just one of Liu Bei's lives could be exchanged for the lives of his whole family?

How many people Liu Bei killed, how many lives he had to fill in!

Lying in the quilt, Fa Zheng clenched his fists tightly, and his mind was full of what method he wanted to use to deal with Liu Bei's family. 2k reading web
