"The traitor Liu Zhang Shixie dared to establish himself as the emperor, it's really hateful!"

Cao Cao took the urgent report handed by the scout, and after browsing it, he was furious, which reported the news that Liu Zhang and Shixie were proclaimed emperors. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Cao Cao, who got the news, was furious, thinking that he only dared to claim the title, and these two people actually crossed the road directly!

"Prime Minister is angry, this Liu Zhang is extremely cowardly, he never wanted to be defeated by Liu Bei and escape into Nanzhong, surrender the surrounding barbarians, and establish himself as the emperor, it is really unexpected!" Xun You said, "But Liu Zhang and Shi Xie are far away in the southwest, far away from us, if you want to crusade, I'm afraid that you will not have enough strength to spare!" ”

At this point, Cao Cao's anger was alleviated a lot, although the arrogance of these two people was really infuriating; But this mountain is far away from the emperor, even if Cao Cao wants to crusade, it is almost impossible, not to mention that his Youzhou has not yet been recovered.

Cheng Yu offered advice: "It's better to follow the example of Xuzhou at the beginning, and order Liu Bei to crusade against Liu Zhang, and Sun Ce to crusade against Shixie, even if Sun Ce doesn't listen, then Liu Bei at least still has the Han family in his heart and has to obey!" ”

"No, no! Liu Bei is now like a tiger in the mountains, even if he is ordered by the emperor, if Liu Bei detains the messenger and says that he has not received the emperor's order on the grounds that the messenger was killed by a thief, what can he do? Guo Jia said, "Liu Bei's current enemy is Ma Teng, and he also knows this very well, even if he is ordered by the emperor, he will chase Ma Teng first, and then ask Liu Zhang!" ”

After listening to the words of the three of them, Cao Cao fell into deep thought, when Yuan Shu was in the Central Plains, he was able to crusade; Yuan Shao is in Hebei, and he can also crusade himself. But Liu Zhangshixie is not yet within his reach.

"Then leave these two people alone for the time being, and wait for me to dominate the world, and then make a decision!"

The words are divided into two ends, after Liu Bei broke Chengdu, occupied the central part of Yizhou, vigorously promoted a policy different from Liu Zhang, and took Ba County in one go, and Shu County was the lips and teeth of each other, and sent cronies and generals to guard it. When Wu Yi and others, the guards of Baishui, heard that Liu Bei had taken Chengdu, they also surrendered one after another.

Liu Bei asked Fa Zheng, Yi nationality, and many Shu bureaucrats who surrendered to him to compile the laws of Shu to rule the country by law and to restrain the common people; All of a sudden, the central Shuzhong region under legal management was thriving, and it had the ability to compete with Ma Teng.

At this moment, except for Langzhong, other regions are under the influence of Ma Teng or Liu Bei. Zhang Renzhong, the defender of Langzhong, was loyal to Liu Zhang, and when he heard that Liu Bei had taken Chengdu and beheaded Yan Yan, and after Liu Zhang fled to Nanzhong, he secretly decided to kill Liu Bei.

However, Zhang was trapped in Langzhong, sandwiched between the two armies, and his position was quite embarrassing. Now Zhang Ren is neither willing to take refuge in Ma Teng to kill Liu Bei, nor even more unwilling to rely on Liu Bei, but he doesn't know where the plan comes from.

Suddenly, at this time, someone came to report: "General, there is a person outside the door who wants to see the general and relieve the general's worries!" ”

Zhang Ren sighed lightly, doubting in his heart, where is this person sacred, and he can even know his worries? He ordered someone to pass it on to enter the hall, but he saw that the man was elegant and elegant, seemed to have the temperament of a scholar, but there was no lack of military demeanor; He is young, probably only twenty years old, which is hard to trust.

Zhang Ren looked at this young general, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Excellency is so young, can you know what I am worried about?" ”

The man also smiled and said: "The three-year-old child still knows that General Zhang is a righteous man in Shuzhong, how can you not know what your Excellency is worried about?" ”

Listening to this person's words, Zhang Ren instantly became interested, didn't dare to slack off, and asked, "I don't know who your surname is, and who is you?" ”

The man smiled and said: "In Xia Hu Du, the word Dexin is a local person in Langzhong." ”

Zhang Ren had heard of this person, and heard that he was recommended as a county official at a young age, but he rejected him because he was still young; This person lost his father and mother at a young age, was fostered in his grandfather's house, was familiar with poetry and books, and knew the righteousness. Zhang Ren was no longer arrogant, and bowed down to ask: "I don't know what Your Excellency has to teach me?" ”

Hu Du said with a smile: "Now that Liu Yizhou has escaped into Nanzhong, General Zhang has repaid the favor of the old master, and is unwilling to surrender Liu Bei and Ma Teng, intending to kill the two, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhang Ren said without concealment: "This is exactly what I mean, but Ren only hates Liu Bei, this person has a benevolent and righteous face, but he is disloyal and unjust, which is hateful!" If you want to kill him, Ma Teng is not my plan, if you can kill him, I am grateful! ”

"If you kill Liu Bei, it's not difficult, but there is a plan, not only can you kill Liu Bei, but you can also make the two sides fall out of peace, and kill Ma Teng after leading Liu Bei!"

"Oh? DXN's strategy, let's talk about it quickly! ”

Hu Du said: "The general only needs to pretend to surrender and send a secret letter to Liu Bei, saying that he is willing to offer Langzhong, Liu Bei must not doubt it, come to Langzhong in person, and the general will set up a Hongmen banquet." Later, the general wrote a secret letter to Ma Teng, saying that he hated Liu Bei's unrighteous behavior, was willing to surrender to Ma Teng, and designed to kill Liu Bei. If Ma Teng is confused, what if the general does Xiang Zhuang himself? ”

Zhang Ren was slightly embarrassed when he heard this: "If that's the case...... Didn't he become Ma Teng's subordinate? ”

"Those who harm Liu Yizhou, Liu Bei also! The general avenges the old master, and the people of the world will not laugh at the general? They only said that the general was willing to stoop to the enemy for the sake of protecting the lord, and they felt that the general was loyal and righteous! ”

"This ...... That's it, loyalty and righteousness, it's hard to have both! In order to protect the revenge of the old master, what about being infamous by the world? I'll do it right away! ”

Hu Du's plan really worked, Ma Teng heard about this, and he really didn't doubt it, and when he heard that he could kill Liu Bei, he naturally ran towards Langzhong happily.

And Liu Bei heard that Zhang arbitrarily wanted to sacrifice Langzhong, and he did not doubt it, so he wanted to go to Langzhong in person, but Fa Zheng stopped him: "Everyone in Shu knows that Ma Teng is a person of great loyalty and righteousness, and this dedication to Langzhong must be a strategy, and the lord must not be fooled!" ”

Hearing Fa Zheng's words, Liu Bei suddenly realized that he wanted to go, but Fa Zheng said: "Why don't you go?" As long as you plan it, you can take Langzhong without much effort, no matter how strong he is, how can he be the lord in case? ”

Fa Zheng's attitude made Liu Bei feel confused, but after listening to Fa Zheng's advice, Liu Bei thought to himself, isn't it the Hongmen Banquet? Is it possible that you still go less? Besides, his Zhang Ren's Hongmen Banquet should be the weakest in the Hongmen Banquet he went!

So Liu Bei raised 5,000 troops and came to take Langzhong in person. Walking to a place thirty miles away from Langzhong, Liu Bei suddenly received a secret letter, which read: "Zhang Ren contacted Ma Teng and set up a Hongmen banquet to harm the emperor's uncle, and the emperor's uncle should prepare as soon as possible!" ”

Liu Bei showed the letter to Fa Zheng, who was puzzled: "Zhang Ren has no good generals, and the soldiers are all loyal and righteous people; I don't know if he is not a cronie this time, why does he have such a secret letter? ”

The two of them thought about it for a while, and for some reason, they gave up for the time being; But they got an important news, that is, Ma Teng also participated in this Hongmen banquet. If this is the case, Liu Bei can take the opportunity to wipe out Ma Teng's living force in one go!

"If it weren't for this person's letter, we would not have died in the hands of Zhang Ren, but also in the hands of Ma Teng!"

Fa Zheng offered advice: "Ma Teng came to collect the city, in order to prevent the lord from suspecting, there must not be many troops; The lord sent a thousand soldiers disguised as civilians to infiltrate the city, looking for an opportunity to assassinate the soldiers of the city and seize the city gates. Three thousand soldiers and horses lay in ambush outside the city, and when they took the gates, they attacked the city. The lord brought 1,000 people to Zhang Ren's banquet to ensure that the lord was safe and sound! ”

Liu Bei obeyed, so he let the soldiers and horses rest temporarily, and after the 1,000 people mixed into the city, he would raise an army and go to Langzhong. Walking ten miles, I saw Zhang Ren go out of the city to greet him, Liu Bei persuaded him, but his eyes looked around in Zhang Renjun, and he saw a person's eyes fluttering, as if he was giving himself a look, Liu Bei instantly understood, it was the letter that this person sent to himself!

"This person needs to be protected then."

Liu Bei secretly decided, so he ordered 3,000 people to camp outside the city, and he led 1,000 soldiers and horses into the city; Zhang Ren saw Liu Bei's self-cutting strength, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and led Liu Bei into the city.

That night, Zhang Ren really set up a banquet, Liu Bei shirked his physical discomfort and hoped to postpone the banquet; Zhang Ren was helpless and didn't dare to force it, but he didn't know that Liu Bei's soldiers and horses who had infiltrated the city before had already taken the city gate, and the three thousand people outside the city had already sneaked into the city by night.

After Fa Zheng reported the matter to Liu Bei, Liu Bei's illness was cured instantly, and Zhang Ren set up a banquet overnight, but let Ma Teng and his cronies hide in the curtain, waiting for the opportunity to kill Liu Bei, Ma Teng did not doubt him.

When Liu Bei went to the banquet, Zhang Ren found that he had brought hundreds of people, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and asked, "Why did Uncle Huang bring such soldiers and horses to the banquet?" ”

Liu Bei smiled: "I want to be Xiang Zhuang." ”

Zhang Ren did not reflect, he was killed by the fox behind him, Ma Teng saw that the accident had changed, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Liu Bei, but when he saw that Liu Bei had a lot of soldiers and horses behind him, he couldn't help but retreat, but he didn't know that Liu Bei's soldiers and horses had already surrounded this place, and he was already winged and could not escape.

Liu Bei knew that Ma Teng must be hiding here, so he ordered everyone to set fire to the mansion, and surrounded this place with soldiers and horses to prevent Ma Teng from escaping.

Ma Teng saw that he had no way to advance and no way to retreat, and he hated it in his heart, why did he listen to Zhang Ren's words? Now trapped in the fire, it is better to die happily! took advantage of the fact that he was not burned to death, and committed suicide in the fire with his second son Ma Xiu and third son Ma Tie.

With such efforts, Liu Bei not only won Langzhong, but also took Brazil in one go, and now only Hanzhong, Wudu and Zitong are still in the hands of Ma Chao. Liu Bei planned to completely wipe out Ma Teng's remaining strength in one go.
