"What was I doing when I was twelve?"

Fang Shao recalled his youth, when he was twelve years old, he seemed to be a junior high school student, sitting in the bright classroom, looking at the test papers in his hand and being worried, staring at the white clouds in the sky outside the window, and looking at the ponytails of the girls in the front row...... And the Xiliang woman in front of her, when she was twelve years old, had dozens of lives on her hands, although those people were her enemies, but she was just a twelve-year-old girl, Fang Shao really couldn't imagine how she persuaded herself to do it at that time.

Fang Shao has not killed people, but as a strategist, strategizing and directing others to kill, there is still a world of difference between killing people with his own hands with a knife. Therefore, Fang Shao naturally couldn't understand what it was like to hold the blade with his own hands, the white knife went in, and the red knife came out.

Fang Shao originally felt a little pity for her, but seeing how indifferent she was when she said that she had killed someone, as if she was describing a common thing about eating and drinking, Fang Shao couldn't help but feel a little chill at her.

"I'm sorry for reminding you of such a sad thing." Fang Shao wanted to end her hair-raising memoir as soon as possible.

Ma Yunlu smiled, "It's not in the way, in fact, I haven't told anyone this secret before, even my brother, but I didn't expect to tell you today." However, after saying it, my heart seems to be much happier. ”

Fang Shao exhaled lightly and said with relief: "The past is over, people, always look forward, hatred is such a thing, there is no need to remember it too clearly." ”

Ma Yunlu's expression became cold again, and he gritted his teeth and said: "General Fang's words are not right, we Xiliang people say that revenge will be avenged." Just like that old thief who killed my father and dozens of members of his family, as well as those thieves in Tianshui County who betrayed my eldest brother and killed several of my brothers and nephews, I will kill them in the future. ”

If Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Fang Shao are fighting in the world, it is not that they really have enmity with Cao Ying, they are purely just for interests or beliefs, but this Ma clan seems to be only for revenge.

A daughter's family, thinking so much about what to hate.

Fang Shao originally wanted to persuade her a few words, but when he saw her gritting his teeth and hating like that, he dispelled his thoughts, so as not to be bored.

Just when Ma Yunlu was filling his chest with hatred, another earth-shattering thunder suddenly sounded outside the window, and this thunder came down, only to buzz the doors and windows.

"Ahh

This outstanding thunder only made Ma Yunlu scream in fright, and involuntarily got into Fang Shao's arms.

At this moment, she was like a frightened little girl, looking for a safe haven, where was there still a little bit of murderous aura just now.

Fang Shao hesitated, but still gently put his hand on her back.

Thunder rumbled outside the window, but it was silent inside, but I don't know when, sleepy, tired, and quietly fell asleep.

When Fang Shao opened his eyes in the early morning, he found that he had slept on the floor all night. He got to his feet, shook his groggy head vigorously, and his mind cleared up a lot.

Looking around, there was no one around, and only a faint exotic fragrance was left around.

Fang Shao pushed the door out, but saw that in the courtyard, Ah Shan and several people were sorting out their weapons and packing their bags, and when they saw Fang Shao coming out of Ma Yunlu's room, they all held back and didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Fang Shao coughed lightly a few times to hide his little embarrassment, and asked, "What about Miss Ma?" Did any of you see her? ”

Ah Shan hurriedly said: "Sir, Miss Ma, she will leave in the morning." ”

"Gone?" Fang Shao looked a little surprised.

"yes, let's go. Miss Ma said that even if her husband had official business, she would not drag the general down, and went back to Chengdu alone, and said that she would wait for the general to come back. ”

In this way, this woman, she will come as she says, and leave as she says, and she will follow her surname like this, which is really unpredictable.

In a trance, Fang Shao remembered the thunderstorm last night, but for some reason, he had a faint melancholy in his heart.

…… Without Ma Yunlu's entanglement, Fang Shao had no burden, and he worked all the way quickly, arriving in Nanzheng, Hanzhong a few days later.

Hearing that Fang Shao came from Chengdu, Liu Bei knew that it must be about Cai Mao's surrender, so he hurriedly summoned Pang Tong and Fa Zheng to the palace to discuss the matter.

After seeing Liu Bei, Fang Shao first presented Zhuge Liang's letter to Liu Bei, and then stated his views with Zhuge Liang on this matter.

After Liu Bei carefully read Zhuge Liang's letter, he said: "It seems that Kong Ming's military division, like Zhongzheng, unanimously believes that Cai Mao is a trick to surrender this time?" ”

Fang Shao nodded and said: "Cao Ying is insidious and cunning, and after a series of defeats, he will not be reconciled, so it is very likely that he will come up with such a false trick." Kong Ming and I both felt that there was fraud in it, so we thought that the general would plan and take advantage of the situation to launch the Northern Expedition. ”

When Liu Bei's words to him were still undeniable, Pang Tong said: "Zhongzheng, your and Kong Ming's speculations are all based on personal imagination. I just said, if Cai Mao really intends to surrender, wouldn't it be tantamount to giving up the great opportunity to directly take the Central Plains. ”

Fang Shao's brows condensed slightly, "Shiyuan Junshi, you also said, it's just 'if', then, if Cai Mao is a false surrender, then the prince will lead the main forces of the two states to go deep into the enemy's net, if there is a mistake, wouldn't the general trend be gone." ”

Pang Tong snorted and said proudly: "The so-called not entering the tiger's den, but getting the tiger, the greater the risk, the greater the reward, I think this risk is worth taking." ”

Obviously, Pang Tong's surname was more inclined to capture Nanyang, perhaps this also represented the idea of some Jingzhou scholars, that is, to capture Nanyang, which borders Jingxiang, and obviously get much more immediate benefits from it than to attack Guanlong, which is far in the northwest.

Liu Bei was also a little uncertain at this time, seeing that the two strategists of the Jingxiang faction had their own opinions, Liu Bei turned his gaze to the silent Fa Zheng and asked, "Xiaozhi, I don't know what your high opinion is." ”

Fa Zheng pondered for a while, and then said unhurriedly: "It is not a good choice to take Nanyang first and approach the hinterland of Xu Luo." However, what I am worried about is that even if Cai Mao is not a pseudo-surrender, the king can successfully take Nanyang, but at that time, he still has to face Cao Ying's powerful iron cavalry torrent, and with my foot soldiers in Jingxiang and Xiangzhou, whether he can have a decisive battle with Cao Ying's main force in the Central Plains is still unknown. ”

Although Fa Zheng did not say it explicitly, the meaning was already very clear, and he still thought that he should take Guanlong first, collect Xiliang Jian horses, and only when he had a considerable cavalry force in his hands could he have a head-on decisive battle with Cao Ying.

The former Xiangfan battle, the loss of the Jingzhou army is not small, if this time to capture Nanyang, it is bound to rely on the Yizhou army, then, the support of Fa Zheng and others is very important, now seeing that Fa Zheng also has opposing opinions, Liu Bei's mind began to lean towards Fang Shao's side.

In the main hall, there was silence for a while, and the atmosphere was so quiet that you could almost hear a needle dropping.

Liu Bei stood up and paced back and forth in the empty hall. Everyone didn't say anything, just looked at Liu Bei silently, they knew that what Liu Bei was about to make would be a decision that would determine the fate and future of countless people.

After a long time, Liu Bei suddenly stopped, walked back to the throne in a few steps, and looked around at everyone, looking very ambitious.

"Lone has decided that the troops will go out of Qinchuan, and the national policy of the Northern Expedition to Guanlong will remain unchanged. According to the plan of Zhongzheng and others, he used Cai Mao's surrender to raise troops. ”

Liu Bei made a decision, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

On Pang Tong's side, although Liu Bei did not adopt his opinion, when Liu Bei made a decision, he quickly adjusted his thinking and said without thinking: "Since the king still decides to go out of Guanlong, Natong should naturally support it." However, this time the troops must be carefully deployed and carefully planned, and it must be guaranteed that one blow will be won. ”

Seeing that Pang Tong changed his words to express his support, Liu Bei looked happy and hurriedly asked: "The military advisor has always been resourceful, but I don't know what specific strategies there are?" ”

Pang Tong said confidently: "Actually, as Kong Ming and Zhongzheng proposed, the prince led the main force of Hanzhong into the three eastern counties, and then made a feint attack with the Jingzhou army on both roads, making a posture of attacking Nanyang, and when necessary, the news of Cai Mao's surrender can leak out, so that whether he is a real surrender or a fake surrender, it will be enough to contain Cao Ying's main force near Nanyang." Then, the king quickly returned to Hanzhong from Hanshui, and suddenly marched out of Qishan and took the three counties of Longxi. ”

Pang Tong's strategy was similar to what Fang Shao said before, except that he added a deliberate leak of Cai Mao's surrender, which could be regarded as an insurance.

Liu Bei nodded in goodness, and Pang Tong continued: "However, it is not easy to quickly capture the three counties of Longyou, you must know that Cao Ying left Xiahou Yuan to guard Guanlong, and he has 50,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and many of them are cavalry, and in the flat area of Longyou, if our army wants to rush to Cao Ying's awakening and lead the army to the west to help, it will not be easy." ”

The problem raised by Pang Tong was also what Liu Bei was afraid of, but when Liu Bei saw his statement, he always looked relaxed, so he knew that he would have a way to deal with it, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Xiahou Yuan is a famous general in the world, as the military advisor said, it is indeed extremely difficult to deal with, but I don't know what the military advisor has to do?" ”

Pang Tong smiled and said proudly: "It's very simple, the soldiers available for this Northern Expedition are only 1230,000 at most, and they all think that the king should not send a general, lead 40,000 soldiers with low combat effectiveness, and encircle Chencang from the old way, this place is the key point west of Guanzhong, Xiahou Yuan is afraid of losing, and he will personally lead the main force to defend it, and Cao Ying will also think that this is just a feint to contain the king's soldiers into Nanyang. At that time, the king can take the opportunity to lead 80,000 or 90,000 troops out of Qishan, when Xiahou Yuan is dragged in Chencang, there is no army stationed in the counties of Longyou, plus the voice of Ma Mengqi, I am afraid that without effort, the counties of Longyou will fall in the wind. ”

Pang Tong's strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain is really a wonderful art of war, and everyone present couldn't help but look shocked when they heard it.
