Chapter 385: A precedent
Zhang Xiang's army pounced on Mianzhu from the front, Liu Bei was outside, so Mianzhu was in charge of Ma Kui, and at this time Ma Kui could only rely on Zhuge Liang, after all, now Mianzhu is worried about internal and external troubles, and it is not something he can solve. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everything is prioritized, Zhuge Liang knows this very well, the internal worries are just some Yi people, although these Yi people are brave and savage, but they have poor weapons, which is indeed very harmful to the place.
But in the face of the army, it could not pose a threat, Zhuge Liang directly gathered the army of the Hangyi people, only left a part of the place, and the rest were all stationed in Mianzhu City to fight against Zhang Xiang's army.
Now all Ma Kui and Zhuge Liang can do is to defend Mianzhu, waiting for Liu Bei's return may have some turnaround, if all places are fighting, then Xichuan is not so conspicuous.
It's a pity that the heavy snow fell, and all the princes collected their troops, only Zhang Xiang was engaged in the east and west in Xichuan, which naturally attracted all the attention, and the movement on Mianzhu's side was so big.
Liu Bei didn't know that it was difficult, in order to return to Mianzhu as soon as possible, Liu Bei had to take a shortcut, there are many natural trails in the land of mountains and rivers, some of which can indeed speed up the process, but often such trails are very dangerous.
Only some hunters dared to take these trails, and Liu Bei had to take this risk, so the people sent out by Zhuge Liang happened to stagger with Liu Bei, and Liu Bei suddenly had no news here, which made the situation even more chaotic.
Zhuge Liang could only conceal it and not report it, lying that Liu Bei was on his way to come, and only Ma Kui knew about this matter except for Zhuge Liang, and even the person who went to find Liu Bei was secretly dealt with by Ma Kui.
At this time, Zhuge Liang could only be ruthless, and Zhuge Liang could not continue to send people out to find him, he could only hope that Liu Bei would be fine, because Zhang Xiang attacked Xichuan, and even Cao Cao had a quarrel.
Now Cao Cao's subordinates are divided into two factions, one is to cooperate with Zhang Xiang to attack Jingzhou, and the other is to wait for the beginning of spring and fight again next year.
Xun You likes to take risks, so when he was in Yingchuan Academy, Xun You and Guo Jia were the most talkative, and the relationship was also very good, even Xun Yu knew Guo Jia through Xun You, but Xun You's risk was different from Guo Jia.
Xun You likes to choose extreme methods, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become benevolent, and Guo Jia is relatively imaginative, but there is a way back, and this attack on Jingzhou was proposed by Xun You.
After all, it is in line with the appetite of the warriors, but it is Jia Xu and Xun Yu who agree to wait for the war to start next year.
Xun Yu is out of consideration for grain and grass, Xun Yu is in charge of internal affairs, he knows very well that if the army is sent in winter, the loss of grain and grass will be huge, and the next year will be difficult, and the two sides will quarrel in front of Cao Cao.
In fact, it is no different for Cao Cao whether he sends troops or not, Cao Cao's headache is the attitude of the two parties, although Cao Cao also likes to use the way of balance, but he does not like the two sides to quarrel on the surface.
Cao Cao: "What kind of system, as soon as Zhang Xiang made a move, you lost your sense of proportion, and refused to send troops in winter." ”
Cao Cao's opening, the two sides did not dare to quarrel, Cao Cao still preferred Xun Yu and Jia Xu's side, to be precise, Cao Cao was more inclined to the literati side, and the martial artists should press it first.
Wait until next year for these generals to burst out with greater force, and Xun Yu's attitude, Xun Yu Jia Xu Xun Yu are all people that Cao Cao values after all, but Cao Cao values Xun Yu the most.
Since Liu Xie's death, Xun Yu has been very close to Cao Cao, Cao Cao once said that Xun Yu is his ovary, Cao Cao has been easing the relationship with Xun Yu, how can he be inclined to martial arts?
Just when Cao Cao chose to wait and see, Liu Bei finally returned to Mianzhu, during which he naturally suffered a lot, as soon as Liu Bei returned to Mianzhu, Zhang Xiang really made a move, attacking Mianzhu seemed to be very moving, but it was actually a false move.
The really powerful thing is the flank of Mianzhu, although the number is small, only a few thousand, but it is in the critical position of Mianzhu, the leader is Yue Xi, and Yue Xi is Zhang Xiang drawn from Lu Lingqi.
Yue Xi once followed his father to live in seclusion in the mountains, so he was very adaptable to the battle of the mountains, this attack on Mianzhu could not afford to lose, Zhang Fei and Long Ben were both cavalry generals, so they could only use Yue Xi.
Yue Xi has been in the mountains with thousands of people for a while, and every day he either eats and sleeps or sleeps and eats, during this time, Yue Xi feels that he is fat, and Yue Xi thinks about Lu Lingqi the most.
But Zhang Xiang didn't give an order and he didn't dare to take people back, so he could only wait and wait, Zhang Xiang finally came to the order, Yue Xi couldn't wait to pounce out, and the Mianzhu flank area was already very chaotic.
There are also some Yi people who are making trouble, after all, Zhuge Liang has transferred all the soldiers nearby. As soon as Yue Xi appeared, he was directly like a bamboo, and these remaining guards were not Yue Xi's opponents.
A little bit of breaking all the places will lose their effect, Mianzhu is like this, Yue Xi really ran to Liu Bei, thousands of elites drove straight in, and Zhang Xiang also launched a fierce attack on the frontal battlefield.
One is to cooperate with Yue Xi, and the other is to support Liu Bei's troops, although Zhang Xiang has the upper hand in this battle, but he can't keep Liu Bei, Liu Bei can go whenever he wants, and Liu Bei has experienced dangerous things.
Zhang Xiang didn't doubt this at all, so Zhang Xiang wanted to stay in Liu Bei's forces as much as possible, and it was useless for Liu Bei to overturn the sky without one, so Liu Bei had to flee in defeat.
However, the direction of defeat and escape is the direction of Yuexi, this time Liu Bei suffered a big loss, but Liu Bei did not intend to let Zhang Xiang feel better, it is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, Liu Bei plans to strangle the enemy army on the flank.
Zhang Xiang saw the direction of Liu Bei's escape and knew that it was wrong, if Liu Bei ran in the direction of Chengdu, it would not be strange at all, it was just a retreat, but the direction in which Liu Bei fled was only one Yuexi.
Zhang Xiang originally planned to send troops to support, but he didn't expect that the entire Mianzhu City was on fire, if it weren't for the winter, this fire would have eaten Zhang Xiang's army, but it also supported Zhang Xiang's army.
So that Zhang Xiang could not send troops to rescue, the initiator of all this came from a person Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang knew that the general trend had gone, and in order to ensure that he could retreat with his whole body, he would think of the plan to burn Mianzhu.
In order to be able to ignite a fire in winter, Zhuge Liang gathered all the surrounding oil, as well as some vegetable oil and spirits, which were all things that contributed to combustion, and the more the better, although Liu Bei was defeated and escaped.
But the formation was not chaotic, most of those who could follow Liu Bei at this time followed Liu Bei to live a life of running around, Liu Bei can be said to be the worst prince in the late Han Dynasty.
The soldiers below are also used to it, no matter how few people around Liu Bei are, there are 10,000 or 20,000 people, and there are only a few thousand people around Yue Xi, but Yue Xi is also a master of art and bold, knowing that Liu Bei has a large number of people, he still stepped forward to provoke.
Liu Bei didn't know Yue Xi, but he knew the Fang Tian painting halberd in Yue Xi's hand, how could Liu Bei not know Lu Bu's weapon, since Zhang Xiang could give Lu Bu's weapon to the general in front of him, then this person must be valued by Zhang Xiang.
Liu Bei will not let go of Yue Xi, Liu Bei directly asked Ma Kui to come forward to call for battle, one-on-one Yue Xi has never been afraid of anyone, it is Zhang Fei at the beginning, Yue Xi has never been afraid, let alone Ma Kui.
Yue Xi and Ma Kui fought for two hundred rounds, and Ma Kui tended to have the upper hand, which Liu Bei did not expect, so Liu Bei couldn't let go of Yue Xi, and directly let Ma Chao kill Yue Xi.
Ma Chao was unwilling, "Lord, let the three generals come back, and his subordinates will definitely be able to kill the enemy generals." “
Although Liu Bei didn't like Ma Chao's attitude at this time, he also knew Ma Chao's character, otherwise he wouldn't be able to recruit Ma Chao, so he directly asked Ma Kui to come back, and Ma Chao went into battle.
Yue Xi has never seen Ma Kui, but he has seen Ma Chao, Yue Xi has fought hard for more than 200 rounds, and his physical strength and energy are insufficient, but he is not sure to defeat Ma Chao, so when he saw Ma Chao, he directly led the troops away.
Ma Chao is so famous in Liu Beijun's army, but Ma Kui is much worse than him, because both of them are surnamed Ma, and people in the army can't help but compare the two, Ma Kui is naturally a little angry.
Ma Chao is also arrogant, so naturally he won't give any explanation, so the contradiction between Ma Kui and Ma Chao will get deeper and deeper, Yue Xi suddenly escaped, and Liu Bei would be useless even if he chased after him.
The terrain of Xichuan not only helped him, but also helped Yue Xi, as soon as Yue Xi entered the mountains, even Liu Bei was helpless, Liu Bei could only lead his troops back to Chengdu, Zhuge Liang's fire, so that Zhang Xiang's morale was frustrated.
And burned a lot of soldiers, Zhang Xiang is not Cao Cao can indulge his soldiers, so Zhang Xiang also paused and directly occupied Mianzhu and the surrounding area, Zhang Xiang always knew that Liu Bei was shameless.
But I didn't expect it to be shameless to this point, and the wicked person sued first, saying that Zhang Xiang burned Mianzhu and didn't care about the lives of the people, and the people of Xichuan were even more hostile to Zhang Xiang at this time, making it even more difficult for Zhang Xiang to move an inch.
People who insult Zhang Xiang are everywhere in the land of Xichuan, this ability to say black and white, Zhang Xiang is sighing to himself! It's not a good thing to anger Zhang Xiang, since Liu Bei is blackmailing himself.
Zhang Xiang let people touch Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's black Zhang Xiang has to be related to things, such as the fire in Mianzhu, so that people can believe that Zhang Xiang's black is not the way to go.
Everything that is not put on Liu Bei's body, no one believed it at first, but then people said more, and gradually some people believed it, and the most outrageous rumor was that Liu Bei had a habit of dragon yang.
slept in the same bed with Guan Yu and Ma Kui, and finally made Liu Bei so angry that he almost vomited blood, Guan Yu's face turned even redder when he heard this rumor, and he almost dripped blood, and Ma Kui directly beat a lot of people during this time.
Whoever said that he beat anyone, it was all in the dark Zhang Xiang wanted to see if Liu Bei would dare in the future, the late Han Dynasty had not yet told the story, Zhang Xiang directly created a precedent, and spread Liu Bei's deeds to the north and south of the river, even if he didn't believe it, he would listen to it as a joke.
