Chapter 114: Hanzhong Oath
Hanzhong swears ath
"The last general commands" Wei Yan and Zhuge Qiao responded in unison, leaving Zhuge Liang with a helpless expression, but helpless.
After that, Zhuge Qiao and Wei Yan slowly got up and retreated into the ranks of military generals, and the whole process was not a little joyful because the strategy was adopted, but it seemed a little deep, because the Meridian Valley was full of unknowns, but they had already gambled their lives.
A moment later, a waiter picked up the edict that Liu Bei had just written: "Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, the Han family suffered hardship, as the imperial uncle of the Han Dynasty, I inherited the Han family today, just to one day be able to prosper the Han Dynasty; Now Yizhou has been decided, the armor has been sufficient, when the north into the Central Plains, Kuang Fu Han room, back to the old capital.
The generals listened to orders; Military advisor - Prime Minister, Wuxiang Hou Zhuge Liang; Former military governor - stalwart general Zhang Yi; The leading envoys of the left army - Zhang Nan, the general of Fenwei, and Wang Ping, the deputy general; The leading envoy of the right army - Liao Hua, the general of Feiwei, and Zhang Wei, the deputy general of Furong; The leading envoy of the rear army is also in charge of transporting grain - Zhenbei General Huang Quan, deputy general Dingyuan General Lu Yi; The leading envoy of the Chinese army - the hussar general Ma Chao, the chariot general Zhang Fei; Central Supervision Army - Yang Wu General Deng Zhi; Former General - Duting Hou Yuan Lin, Left General - Gaoyang Hou Wu Yi, Right General - Xuandu Hou Gao Xiang, Later General - An Le Hou Wu Ban; The left guard envoy in front of the tent - Long Xiang General Guan Xing, the right guard envoy - Tiger Wing General Zhang Bao; Joined the army - Liu Ba, the general of Zhengnan, and Hu Ji, the general of Zhonglang; Marching Engagement-Deng Ai, Marching Order History-Ma Tan; Governor of Pingbei - Pingbei General Wei Yan, Deputy General Bi Yao Lieutenant Zhuge Qiao; With the strength of Shu Han and 200,000 soldiers, he set out for the Northern Expedition five days later.
After continuing to discuss some trivial matters, the curtain was drawn on the court; Zhuge Qiao followed behind Zhuge Liang and slowly retreated! also deliberately kept an undeserved distance, as if he was avoiding Zhuge Liang.
Walking and walking, Zhuge Liang stopped, turned around and shook the feather fan, staring straight at Zhuge Qiao!
"Dad, I was wrong" Zhuge Qiao blurted out without thinking too much.
"What's wrong with you," Zhuge Liang asked slowly, shaking his feather fan.
"I shouldn't argue with my father, I shouldn't go against my father's will" Zhuge Qiao replied with his head down like a child who had made a mistake.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said with a smile, "Captain Yao of Shu Han didn't admit his mistake, so will you correct your mistake?"
"Nope! Your Majesty has given the appointment"
Zhuge Liang continued to laugh and said, "What a mistake, don't change it!" In fact, my father didn't blame you, you and I are courtiers in the court, you can put forward your own opinions, and you don't need to care about private relationships."
Zhuge Qiao listened to Zhuge Liang's answer, and also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Zhuge Wuhou, who has been famous for thousands of years, is really extraordinary, "Daddy, how many layers do you think the chances of success in Meridian Valley are?"
"This depends on the Governor of Pingbei and you, and it has nothing to do with me, I don't know that you use troops, nor do I know Cao Wei's use of troops, how can I predict it; The others have been said in front of His Majesty just now, but what I didn't expect was that you would actually make a military order, do you know what this means" Zhuge Liang also looked a little angry when he said this, after all, the military order has the highest majesty in the army.
"It's not that there is no way to do it, who let your father be so able to debate" Zhuge Qiao's eyelids rolled, and he put this responsibility on his father.
Zhuge Liang shook his head, with a helpless expression, "Since you have chosen this path, you will also be burdened; Remember that once the army captures the land of the three counties, whether you capture Chang'an City or not, I will ask Your Majesty to send a partial division to Chang'an to rescue. ”
"Then look forward to the meeting of the two armies in Chang'an City," Zhuge Qiao echoed with a smile.
Suddenly, Zhuge Qiao seemed to think of something, and his face immediately changed, "If the army captures the three counties, who does Dad think can guard the street pavilion?"
Zhuge Liang was shocked when Zhuge Qiao asked like this, "Bo Song actually knows the place of the street pavilion, if our army crosses Yangping Pass and exits Qishan Avenue, then the street pavilion is the main road, if the street pavilion is lost, our army is in danger of overturning; Therefore, the street pavilion must be guarded, and as for who to send to guard it, it must be decided by His Majesty; It's just that I didn't expect you to go to Meridian Valley and still care about the battle in Qishan, it's rare."
September 13 of the third year of Zhang Wu; On this day, Liu Bei gathered all the soldiers of the Northern Expedition in the school field of Hanzhong, preparing to swear for the Northern Expedition, 200,000 soldiers lined up to fight in the school field, and also focused all eyes on Liu Bei, perhaps this is also the most leading troops in Liu Bei's life; The war drums of Shu Han accompanied by the war song "Hanshi" sounded at this moment, "The great Han, go to the national disaster together, the blood will not be dried, and the death will not be truce、、、 but it is a little more majestic and heroic than the military parade that day;
According to the customs of the ancients, Liu Bei began to worship the gods of heaven and earth, and has helped the army to conquer everything and the belief that it is invincible. The three generals of the Five Tiger Generals were closely behind Liu Bei at this time, and the soldiers on the school field became more and more motivated by the super generals of this era.
The ceremony is about to end, and the army will also rush to the battlefield, but the time is so coincidental "Your Majesty, there is an old man at the gate of the camp, who specially came from Jiangyang County to send a burden to his son" Deng Ai suddenly walked in front of Liu Bei and hugged his fists;
It turned out that when the Northern Expedition was in progress at the school ground, an old man who was hobbling at the gate of the camp was ushered in, carrying two burdens and walking straight towards the camp gate.
"This is the barracks, please leave if you are not a soldier," the guard at the door whispered to the old man.
"That's right, I'm finally here! Little General, my child is in this barracks, I have something to give him, and I ask the little general to let me go in to find my child" The old man's voice trembled a little, but the words were clear.
"There are rules in the barracks, and we can't make the decision, and I ask the old man to leave, the army is about to start," the soldier persuaded softly.
But the old man couldn't listen to a word, "I must go in, I have something to give to him"
"What happened?" Just when the camp gate seemed a little chaotic, Deng Ai had just come back from running errands for Zhuge Liang to meet him.
"My lord, this old man is determined to enter the barracks to find his son, and he will not listen to any advice we have advised," the soldier replied directly.
"My lord, Xiaomin heard that the army was going to go on an expedition, and he came from Jiangyang County on purpose, and he has been walking for more than half a month, just to be able to hand over this burden to my child who has just joined the army" The old man saw that Deng Ai seemed to have the right to speak here, so he immediately stepped forward to plead.
"There is nothing lacking in the barracks, what do you have in the baggage" Deng Ai asked curiously, after all, an old man can walk from Jiangyang County to Hanzhong, and he must need a strong belief to support it, and that belief must be in the baggage.
The old man slowly opened the bag and removed the contents of the cloth, which was a white cloth, but it was stained with black letters; Deng Ai took the white cloth steadily and slowly opened it.
The white cloth is fully unfurled at this time, and looks very much like a flag; It's just that Deng Ai seemed to be frightened by this flag, standing there motionless, and the soldiers behind him were also like Deng Ai, as if they had fallen into evil.
