Chapter 410: Secretly Attacking Xiongguan
Liu Biao and the Kuai brothers didn't expect that the old Cheng Yu gave Cao Cao a plan that if he couldn't shoot the sun, he would at least have to shoot an eagle down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Mao Jue returned to Luoyang and passed through Nanyang, he took Cao Cao's secret plan to visit one of the main figures of the trip, the one who was driven out of Hongnong by Hua Fei and had just led the army to Liu Biao for a short time.
To say that this Zhang Ji is also unlucky, he went against Hua Fei because he listened to Jia Xu's words, but he was defeated by Xu Shu first, and lost all his horses, and directly turned the cavalry troops under his command into skirmishers that were not as good as the infantry.
Then he finally got nearly 10,000 war horses, and when he was about to make a comeback, he was forced by Hua Fei to flee from Hongnong and became a wandering army, and escaped tens of thousands of subordinates on the wandering road.
If Liu Biao hadn't seen that he still had 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 soldiers in his hands, and seeing that his uncle and nephew were brave and capable of fighting, he didn't want to fight with him with heavy troops, and instead took him in as Nanyang Taishou in the form of Zhao'an, in the case of Cao Cao in the northeast and Huafei in the west, he really didn't know what to do.
On that day, after Zhang Ji heard the angel Mao Jue's request to see him, he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly led the people out of the city from the south gate of the people's congress to greet him, but as soon as Mao Ji saw him appear, he dismounted and said: "Dare to ask, but Pingyang is waiting to be in person?" ”
Zhang Ji couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this, but he hugged his fists and saluted: "I don't dare to be called the angel waiting for the master, at the moment Ji is just a Taishou under the command of General Zhennan, and the angel is working hard from afar, please follow me into the city to rest quickly." ”
"Master Hou, your title is sealed by the imperial court, how can you say that it will change? Xiaguan Mao Jue saw Pingyang Hou, wishing Hou Ye good health and good luck......"
That day, Mao Ji was very polite to Zhang Ji because he had a secret plan, and he tried his best to attract Zhang Ji to revive his ambition.
Zhang Ji is just a martial artist, although he also has some brains and experience, how can he fight Mao Jue? So after some words, I couldn't help but feel very unhappy about what happened to me.
Mao Jue asked Zhang Ji with pretended concern, he was originally a candidate who commanded the elite soldiers and Hongnong, but why did he fall to the point of being under such a parasitic fence today?
thus successfully provoked Zhang Ji's gritted hatred for Hua Fei, and only then did he say his mission to Jingzhou, which also showed that Liu Biao had received the order and would raise troops to attack Hua Fei in the future.
He also claimed that Cao Cao had another secret order, if Zhang Ji was also willing to help the Son of Heaven to attack Wuguan and pacify the rebellion against Hua Fei, Cao Cao would perform Zhang Ji as the pastor of Liangzhou, the general of Zhenxi, and the ancestor Li Hou after the matter was completed, so that he could return to the land of his parents to patrol Xiliang on behalf of the heavens.
"Is that true?" Hearing this, Zhang Ji rose from his seat and asked loudly.
Mao Jue smiled slightly and said: "This is what Duke Cao said to Jue himself, how dare he lie to the general?" ”
"Okay, you fierce and bally Hua Fei thief, I can't imagine that you have been beaten miserably today!"
Zhang Ji heard that Hua Fei's troops were now empty, and he was about to be beaten by Cao Cao, Liu Biao and the Southern Xiongnu, and he couldn't help but feel relieved and wanted to look up to the sky and laugh wildly.
But he suddenly sat down and hung his head and said: "That Hua Fei ghost is ruthless and the Xu Shu next to him is not an ordinary person, now although Hua Fei is not there, he is sitting in Guanzhong, I'm afraid it's still not easy to deal with!" ”
"Good for you! Those who want revenge but are timid and afraid of things dare not act, how can there be such a good thing? ”
Seeing this, Mao Ji secretly despised Zhang Ji, but persuaded him in a harmonious voice: "Why should the general worry that Xu Shu is not easy to deal with, and he Xu Shu can still have three heads and six arms?" ”
Saying that, he paused and pointed with a halberd: "Right now, my lord has sent the three wise men Xun You, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia to deal with him, he is afraid that it will be too late to deal with it at this time, so how can he have time to deal with you, general?" ”
"That's right! At this time, several armies came to attack, and Xu Shu was only afraid of being miserable, but Lao Tzu was afraid of him? ”
Zhang Ji woke up when he heard this, but he heard the fragrant cool breeze in Mao Jiu and said loudly: "The general's so-called opportunity is rare, if you miss this time, then I am afraid that there will be no such great opportunity for revenge and meritorious service." ”
"Good!" Zhang Ji shouted when he heard the words, opened his mouth and was about to agree to Mao Jue's request, and did his best to attack Wuguan with the soldiers of Nanyang.
But he suddenly stopped frowning and pondered, but said to Mao Jue after a while: "It's just that my hometown is a bitter cold land, do you think you can make Cao Gong Biao a state pastor in other places?" ”
"Holy God! There are only thirteen states in total, and now you are the pastor of a state, but you still want to pick three or four, is it really unreasonable? ”
Mao Jue was secretly angry when he heard this, but said to Zhang Ji with a smile: "Liangzhou is rich in grapes and good horses, why do you say bitter cold?" ”
"That's right," Zhang Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his hands and said loudly, "If these 40,000 war horses are enough, that's a full four million taels of silver!" ”
"What four million taels of silver? And what 40,000 war horses? Where is this? ”
Mao Jue, who didn't know that Zhang Ji had once scraped three feet of land to buy horses, was secretly surprised when he heard this, but took the opportunity to tempt: "That is to say, if Xiliang can produce 40,000 war horses a year, isn't it 4 million taels of silver for white flowers?" ”
"Humph! What do you know about this coward? ”
Zhang Ji secretly sneered at Mao Jue, but said in a loud voice: "In that case, then Zhang will believe in Cao Gong this time, and help the Son of Heaven to crusade against Hua Fei, a traitor, hoping that Cao Gong can also be trustworthy to Hugh Zhang." ”
"That's natural," Mao Jue was overjoyed when he heard this, and assured, "My lord has heroic ambitions, and he is about to win the trust of the people of the world, and he is willing to discredit the self-discredited reputation of the general?" The general just has to rest assured. ”
As he spoke, he paused slightly, and then continued loudly: "At the moment, I am only afraid that the big war has started, and Hua Fei is very likely to bring troops back to Guanzhong as soon as possible. ”
"You can rest assured," Zhang Jijian said with a bold wave in the cool breeze, "Zhang immediately ordered the troops to be ready to go, and after I passed Liu Biao, I led the army to attack Huafei's Wuguan from the south." ”
"The general is bad," Mao Jue was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he opened his salute and said, "Right now, Hua Fei may be bringing troops back to help, if you go to Liu Zhennan, I'm afraid that you will miss a major event due to the delay of time." ”
Saying that, he thought about it sideways, and then said loudly: "And Liu Zhennan has already received the will of the Son of Heaven, and he is about to raise troops to attack Huafei in the near future, and the general is helping him, so why do you need to report again?" ”
"That's right," Zhang Ji thought sideways when he heard this, then waved his hand and said loudly, "Then it's up to you, Zhang will do his best to attack Huafei." ”
"Hmph, you're still fooled after all, even if you Zhang Ji is like a ghost, you still need to drink a basin of Mao's footwashing water!"
The corners of Mao Jue's mouth curled slightly, but after thinking about it for a while, he said to Zhang Ji: "General, at the moment, Liu Biao and Hua Fei are still allies, and it is said that there are business trips between Wuguan and Nanyang, but I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
"Is there a problem?" Zhang Ji was about to turn around and give an order, but when he heard this, he asked impatiently.
"What a great rotten wood that cannot be carved! Such a great opportunity, but I don't know how to take advantage of it. ”
At that moment, Mao Ji secretly scolded Zhang Ji in his heart for being a reckless man, but because it was related to Cao Cao's plan, he had to patiently talk about Zhang Ji, so he carefully explained the pros and cons, and said that Zhang Ji was full of red "pop" and patted his thigh and praised him repeatedly!
On the same day, Zhang Ji immediately passed down a military order according to Mao Jue's suggestion, ordering his cronies to command 5,000 infantry troops to protect Wancheng, but he and his nephew Zhang Xiu immediately secretly went north with a large army.
After Mao Ji saw that the big thing had been accomplished, he led the crowd to return to his life without mentioning it, and Zhang Ji always felt that it was not good if he didn't tell Liu Biao after the army set off.
When he heard that he was going to crusade against Hua Fei, he took the first step to attack Wuguan for his vanguard, which provoked Liu Biao, who was instructing his cronies and wanted to sell Hua Fei's personal favor, to be angry.
Zhang Ji had to be rewarded by scouts along the way, at this time, Liu Yu, who was originally ordered to lead 6,000 elite soldiers to guard Wuguan, had been ordered to go to Tongguan to help, although the current Wuguan was still dangerous, but only Annan Zhonglang led Zhang Wei to lead 7,500 Tuntian troops to garrison.
Zhang Ji sneered and said, "Hmph! My nephew Yongguan three armies, even Tai Shi Ci or Chu may not be able to win, and with Mao Jue's clever plan to help, forgive Zhang Wei and the mere 7,500 Tuntian army What can they do? Hua Pifu, if the Wuguan is lost, the defense line in your pass will be broken in one place, and Zhang sees that you are in a catastrophe this time. (To be continued.) )
