"Uh...... What ...... this" Liu He's eyes rolled and pretended to smile calmly, "There are only a few in the art of war, what other new tricks can there be?" This kind of thing, even if you don't say it, I can know about it. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded suspiciously, but fortunately, at this time, he didn't have time to dwell on this kind of issue, so he finally let Liu He get involved.

"Okay, we'll make up our minds, tomorrow the army will start, and I will rush to Dingjun Mountain to meet you." Zhuge Liang got up and gave a salute, politely a little abrupt.

Liu He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief, "Don't worry, I won't have an accident, at this time, you can only explain this important matter to me, who made our brothers brothers." ”

After that, Liu He hugged his fists and left, walked to the door, and suddenly turned around again, "By the way, when you come to Dingjun Mountain, remember to bring Huang Zhong with you, but don't forget it." ”

Zhuge Liang was confused, looked at Liu He's back, and asked loudly: "Why must it be Huang Hansheng?" ”

"I just calculated, with General Huang here, this battle will be won." Liu He turned his head, stretched out a few fingers in a mysterious way, gestured, and then smiled at Zhuge Liang, turned around and strode away.

As soon as it was dark, a group of people quietly left Chengdu City and went straight to the direction of Hanzhong.

Due to the importance of the matter, the Tianji Battalion went to Hanzhong this time, which can be described as a nest dispatch, and in the night, hundreds of Chengdu guards were in a hurry under the leadership of the thirteen horsemen in front.

Before going to Dingjun Mountain, Liu He's first task was to recruit that Xiliang Jinma Chao into his account.

Liu He originally thought very well, he took the first step to reach Hanzhong, and persuaded Ma Chao to come to take refuge, if he succeeded, everyone was happy, if not, there was no need to be in a hurry, and it was not too late to make plans after the large army in the rear arrived.

But now Zhuge Liang has given him such a difficult task, without Ma Chao's assistance, I am afraid it will be really difficult to complete, so this time to persuade Ma Chao to surrender can be described as inevitable.

As one of the famous Five Tiger Generals of Shu State, Ma Chao should have been thrown into Liu Bei's account when Liu Bei captured Yizhou, but since the Battle of Chibi, Liu He has promoted the process of the general trend and entered Yizhou, which was two years earlier than the original time, so there was a situation that Liu Bei had entered Yizhou, and Ma Chao was still under Zhang Lu.

If this logic is deduced, then Liu He's crisis-ridden trip to Hanzhong is really a bit self-inflicted.

Don't look at his promise in front of Zhuge Liang, in fact, until now, he still has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know what method to use to persuade Ma Chao to return to obedience.

The book said that Ma Chao was defeated by Cao Cao and thrown into Zhang Lu's account, but later felt that Zhang Lu was not the master, so he switched to Liu Bei.

This passage seems to be an easy thing to persuade Ma Chao, but the key is what Ma Chao thinks and when, no one knows.

Now there is still a full year before Ma Chao took refuge in Liu Bei in history, in case Ma Chao does not have any dissatisfaction with Zhang Lu in his heart at this time, then it will be a little difficult to persuade him to surrender at this time.

However, there is one point, Liu He is still very down-to-earth in his heart, even if Ma Chao can't be used for himself for a while, he will not turn to Cao Cao's account.

Ma Chao and Cao Cao, that is the enmity of killing their father, and Cao Cao, who was also chased by Ma Chao, cut his beard and abandoned his robe, between the two, they are in the same situation, and it is impossible to stand in the same trench.

Liu He made up his mind to use this to lobby Ma Chao, but for a while, he hadn't come up with a specific solution.

Three days later, the Tianji Battalion, which had been traveling day and night, finally came to the border of Hanzhong.

Liu He asked Chengdu Wei to find a hidden place to wait, while he himself took the twelve heavenly machines and swaggered into Hanzhong.

After traveling for another half a day, Liu He and his party, dressed as business travelers, came to a place called Fortress.

This place is the city where Ma Chao led his troops to station.

The city is not big, compared to Chengdu, it is too far behind, but the city wall of the city is not inferior to the city where the capital of any state is located.

Along the way, Liu He also found out a lot about the situation of the fortress city, which was a ruin before Ma Chao came, and the people in the city were only more than 100 households.

Since Ma Chao came here half a year ago, he immediately transformed the city defense of the fortress, and in just two months, this breathtaking city wall was built, and the fortress has also prospered since then.

The little black fat man squinted at the high city wall, and said to Zhong Lixun on the side: "Have you seen it, the height of this city wall is clearly built by the Xiliang army, and in this world, only they will do this, they feel that they must build the city wall to the height of ten people, so as not to be afraid of the enemy's ladder to attack the city." ”

Zhongli nodded thoughtfully, "I've also heard that when the ladder reaches the height of nine people, it will start to shake, so in the Xiliang area, the city wall will be built to defend against the enemy's ladder." ”

Liu He listened to the conversation between the two silently, and rarely didn't say anything, just looked up at the city wall, as if thinking about something.

"This kind of city wall, not to mention the cloud ladder, is the fairy rope, I'm afraid I can't go up." The little black fat man stood under the wall and sighed.

"If you can't go up, you can't, but I can go up." Chen Mo immediately jumped out and said with a smug expression.

The little black fat man pursed his lips disdainfully, "Yo Yo Yo, look at what you can, you just blow it with this, let me tell you, just this city wall, don't say it's you, even if you change your grandfather, it's no fun!" ”

Chen Mo stiffened his neck, "If my grandfather comes, he will be on this city wall, and he can be slapped into ashes with one palm." ”

The little black fat man sneered: "Your grandfather is amazing, that's his old man's ability, now what about you, can you go up?" If this wall is someone else, that's ten people high, if it's you, hehe, then it has to be twenty people high. ”

When Chen Mo heard this, he didn't get angry but laughed, "You're still embarrassed to talk about me, why are you taller than me?" ”

The little black fat man thought for a while, stretched out his thumb and index finger, and gestured, "It's probably so much higher." ”

Looking at the distance that the little black fat man had compared was not as high as a copper coin, everyone laughed and said nothing.

Liu He suddenly stepped forward and said to Chen Mo seriously: "Can you really climb up?" ”

Chen Mo patted his chest, "Of course, even if it is twice as tall, I can climb up." ”

Liu He frowned and pondered carefully for a while, and then asked, "Crawl with bare hands?" ”

"Yes, bare hands." Chen Mo replied without hesitation.

Liu He did not continue to ask, but lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and after a while, he suddenly strode towards the city gate.
