What I said to Prince De was very simple, "Lord, there may not be no trail to bypass in the mountains and mountains near here, but we can't go around, we can also make a false appearance that we can go around and lure them to fight, what we are afraid of is not that they are brave and good at fighting, but that they can't defend and forcibly attack the city, so it is better to find a way to lure them out of the city, and since Tian Wei is good at fighting, he is definitely not willing to just defend the city." "I'm just talking about a principle, but Prince De has been on the battlefield for a long time, and immediately understands it, and besides, he will definitely not be able to attack it today, so it is better to go back and discuss it.

Of course, in the subsequent military discussions, I didn't speak, because I am not very familiar with military affairs, I am just good at analyzing intelligence, and judging where I can start based on experience and knowledge, not to mention that now Rong Yuan is dissatisfied with me, if I am too showy, it will inevitably make him more jealous of me, I would rather offend the gentleman than the villain, I remember this very clearly, but these staff members are really powerful, I just put forward a kind of idea, they can list all kinds of ideas, and then check and fill in the gaps, and work out various plans for A, B, C and D, Finally, I made a list of feasible strategies, the more I looked at it, the more I worshipped, maybe my expression was too obvious, they were all a little embarrassed, even Rong Yuan's eyes softened a lot when he looked at me.

The next day, Prince De sent his sergeants to gather firewood and find a path, and then ordered the remaining half of the sergeants to rest in the camp tents, while the rest of the sergeants stood at a distance and watched the city of Bajun, neither attacking nor retreating, but sending people to make a feint from time to time, and if the defenders on the tower reacted slightly, they would retreat. After noon, the rest sergeant and the morning sergeant change shifts.

On the third day, the soldiers of the Southern Chu army who feinted in front of the city of Bajun began to get busy, either digging trenches, or practicing fists and feet, thinning muscles and bones, and pushing the war drums in the army to the front of the city, beating drums and shouting every half an hour.

On the fourth and fifth days, the defenders in the city began to be tired and numb, after all, there were only 10,000 defenders in the city of Nanjun, although Nanjun was an important gateway to Shu, but because Shu and Nanchu were on good terms, so the soldiers were not enough.

On the sixth day, the Shu army in the city began to be restless, and the good news came, we found a small road to bypass Ba County, and the second step of the plan began. The Southern Chu army began to gather the army, and the troops and horses were strong, as if they were going to attack, the Shu army in the city began to be nervous, and it was obvious that the number of defenders on the city increased, and at night, the army began to march quietly, and these were discovered by the Shu secret agents who paid close attention to the Southern Chu army, and they naturally came to the conclusion that the Southern Chu army wanted to bypass Ba County, although for them, the Southern Chu army bypassed Ba County and did not attack, which was equivalent to giving up the safety of the back road and supplies, but Tian Wei was strong and belligerent, and this time he held on because of insufficient troops, Although the Southern Chu army is only 50,000, it is the most sophisticated army in Southern Chu, so Tian Wei's pressure is extremely great, and seeing that the situation is not right in the past few days, he has discussed with his subordinate generals for a long time, and they all feel that the Southern Chu army must bypass Ba County. After discussion, some generals proposed that if the Southern Chu army really bypassed Ba County, if Ba County did not attack from behind, then in the future, the Southern Chu army would be wiped out, and the soldiers of Ba County would inevitably be punished. In the end, Tian Wei ordered to attack the baggage team of Southern Chu from behind, taking advantage of the fact that the Southern Chu army had not completely bypassed.

The 50,000 army wanted to march from the path, the speed was extremely slow, Tian Wei didn't take long to catch up with the rear of the Southern Chu army, Tian Wei waved the big knife in his hand, and shouted: "The Southern Chu dog thief is gone." In his shouting, Tian Wei led 5,000 light cavalry like a steel knife cut into the rear army of Southern Chu, the Southern Chu army scattered and fled, Tian Wei ordered to throw torches on the grain cart baggage, and in an instant, the flames were everywhere, in the firelight, Tian Wei laughed loudly, and ordered to continue the attack to defeat the Southern Chu army. At this moment, the scattered Southern Chu army revealed an infantry wearing white armor, they greeted Tian Wei, Tian Wei felt a chill in his heart, this is not the personal guard of His Royal Highness Prince De, this personal guard army should have been holding the Chinese army, but now it actually appeared here, he was not fooled, Tian Wei looked around, the fire of those grain trucks was quickly extinguished, and after that infantry, a Zhaozi Yellow Dragon Banner was played, Tian Wei was worried and worried in his heart, if he was really ambushed, then he would be defeated, but then he thought about it, in front of him is Prince De's personal guard, maybe Prince De himself is not far away, if he kills Prince De in one fell swoop. Tian Wei couldn't resist the temptation and waved the order forward. The two armies intersected, although Tian Wei's cavalry had the advantage, but the infantry of Southern Chu was good at fighting with the cavalry, only to see their front row of sergeants kneeling down, blocking the Zhangba spear in front of the horse, the sergeant in the back row pulled the bow and shot arrows, through the narrow terrain, Tian Wei blocked, Tian Wei killed for a while, seeing that it was impossible to win, ordered the withdrawal of the army, their war horses ran fast, and after a while Tian Wei was completely out of the battlefield, the Shu army horse was fast, Tian Wei happily thought, but how, it was also a small victory, the fast horse galloped for more than ten miles, Haven't rushed out far, suddenly, from both sides of the road rushed out of the Southern Chu army, both sides of the attack, Tian Wei hurriedly ordered everyone not to stay, desperate casualties, fighting to break through, at this time Tian Wei already had a chill in his heart, in just a dozen miles of mountain road, from time to time there are Southern Chu army raids, they are not many, they are all using bows and arrows from behind the grass or trees or rocks to attack, if it is not a valley, I am afraid, Tian Wei's thousands of iron horsemen have no hope of escaping, this is how when Tian Wei saw the city wall of Ba County, it had taken more than half an hour, And there were only 3,000 remnants left, close to Bajun City, but Tian Wei saw the fiery red banner of the Shu army falling from the city, and the Yellow Dragon Banner of Prince De rising from the city. Tian Wei watched several Shu soldiers at the head of the city being cut to the ground, and in the cold light of the swords and guns, Tian Wei saw a very incongruous person, it was a young Confucian in a green shirt, he was looking at himself with pity, in the blood and fire, his clothes did not seem to be stained at all. He stood on the city wall, but he was separated by some distance from the other Southern Chu soldiers, as if he was a ghost who did not belong to the battlefield.

I went up to the city wall when the siege was not completely over, this time the Southern Chu army left 10,000 people down under my proposal, this is the harvest of reading a book before going to bed after the military discussion, after the approval of Prince De, we continued to dig trenches when digging a lot of big pits near the battlefield, and then when pretending to go around, the 10,000 troops were hidden in the big pit, covered with oilcloth, and the cloth was covered with loess, and those spies who came to check only noticed that the camp was empty, but they did not notice the hidden soldier hole nearby, after Tian Wei sent his troops, We took advantage of the negligence of the soldiers defending the city, and immediately began to attack the city, and as a result, the lax defenders were defeated by us, and the reason why I climbed the city wall was because I wanted to see the ending, of course, the reason was that when the Shu State returned to the army, I was afraid that it would retaliate and kill our staff who stayed outside, with this reason, we all entered the city, of course, the guards were also very strict, so as not to be injured by the remnants of the soldiers, and then I said that I wanted to see the situation outside and climb the city wall, Xiao Shunzi smiled and sent two imperial guards to follow me, they were to protect Wang Haiwang and supervise the army, But Wang Jianjun already knew that Xiao Shunzi's kung fu was good, and he was very good with me, so he agreed to send someone to protect me, and I heard Xiao Shunzi say that these two people have a good kung fu foundation, and they can at least protect me until the Nanchu sergeant comes to save me.

I walked through a sea of blood, careful not to get stained with blood, but there was a river of blood under my feet, and it didn't take long for my shoes to be soaked with blood, but I was lucky that at least there was no blood on my body. When I endured the smell and screams of the battlefield to the city wall, the few remaining Shu troops were quickly killed, and I looked down the city and happened to see the returning Shu army. Then the red-robed general looked blankly at the city, behind him, the smoke and dust were billowing out, I could see the banner of our army, suddenly, the red-robed general shouted and rushed towards our army, and then, I watched this cavalry being besieged, weakened, and defeated by our army, and in the distance, I saw the red-robed general killing himself with a horizontal sword, and he was still roaring before he died.

My heart trembled, war, not as light as I saw in the history books, in the eyes of the Bajun Shu army, our army is the enemy of all evil, kill their bodies, take away their cities, but what can we do, at this moment I really hate this war, just for the benefit of Dayong and Southern Chu, Shu must perish, with a river of blood in exchange for the joy of the superiors, this, is it really worth it?

Next, I was sick, the blood, the screams, I couldn't sleep well, I couldn't eat well, in the rapid march, my condition gradually worsened, and later, one night, Xiao Shunzi came to my camp, dragged me up and said: "I know why you are sick, put away your cheap sympathy, we have become enemies, we are fighting, if we lose, we will not be able to go home, what benevolence, morality, what etiquette and shame, I only know, I have to live, for you, I have to live, so what about you, You must at least live for me, remember, you saved my life, and I will never let you die if I don't pay this debt. ”

I saw the tears on Xiao Shunzi's face in a trance, and said lightly: "Xiao Shunzi, brother, I know that you are like a brother to me, but I always bully you, you always take care of me and protect me, but I'm leaving, don't be sad, you don't owe me anything." ”

Xiao Shunzi slapped me hard and said: "What do you think I always follow you for, you have never looked down on me, you think my Xiao Shunzi is a character, you teach me to read, help me learn martial arts, without you, who still looks at my Xiao Shunzi, if you die, I will die with you, I will be your brother in the next life, so that you will always have to cover me." ”

My tears rolled down, yes, how could I die, I still have a brother, if I die, wouldn't Xiao Shunzi be a lonely person, I have always known that Xiao Shunzi always looks at me and runs, because, I see him as a person, a man of flesh and blood, not a little eunuch, a man without a face. Hmph, what is Shu, what does it have to do with me when your people die, don't talk about Shu, that is, Nanchu is dead, what does it have to do with me, these days, I am seriously ill, except for Xiaoshunzi and the military doctor, I haven't seen anyone, although Prince De came twice, but he later forgot me. I reluctantly got up and said, "Give me two pills of medicine from the white porcelain bottle in my baggage." Xiao Shunzi hurriedly went over to comply, I took the pill with difficulty, and said, "I want to rest for a while, and prepare a hearty breakfast for me tomorrow morning." ”

Three days later, after I slept for three whole days, I finally ate the breakfast sent by Xiao Shunzi, walked out of the camp tent, looked at the clear sky, I stretched out my hands, took a deep breath, and said to Xiao Shunzi, my illness is just right, and told Wang Jianjun that I will take his car today.

In the more than ten days that I was sick, the progress of the Southern Chu army was relatively smooth, and the blow of Southern Chu to break through Ba County made these small cities lose the confidence to hold on, with the help of this strategy, the attack was soft and deceptive, and the speed of the march exceeded expectations, and Dayong did not know what the situation was, and there was no information coming. The next day, I was recovering from a serious illness, so I didn't have much official business, and I often wrote poems or something in my spare time, I didn't say more, although Prince De once apologized to ask me about my illness, but I won't forgive him, I used to value me so much, I left me aside as soon as I got sick, so I always said a few words of thanks lukewarmly, anyway, I often be with Wang Jianjun, and I don't have to worry about him embarrassing me, I'm so stingy, how.

Just in the march battle, the Southern Chu army arrived in front of the city, and has arrived in advance of the water army rendezvous, the city is the barrier of Chengdu, the capital of the Shu State, at this moment, here has gathered 50,000 troops of the Shu State, the famous general Wei Xian of the Shu State led 20,000 troops in front of the county to set up a village, as a support, the general Long Bu led 30,000 towns to guard the city, the Southern Chu land and water army with a thunderous momentum, attack Fushui Pass, the guard will fight a bloody battle, after all, abandon the city and leave, in Fucheng set up a camp, he knows that the next battle must be long-lasting, Therefore, it is just to arrange the water and land defenders to arrange carefully, so that the water army cruises in the water, isolating the backup, the north gate of the county is near the water, and the south gate is a mountain road, and the prince of De uses the water army to transport troops from the east and west gates to attack the city. However, Wei Xian led the army to attack every time, and in a few days, the two armies fought several bloody battles, and the Southern Chu army did not have the advantage. Prince De saw that the sergeants were tired, Suo surnamed the army, in addition to sending the navy to cruise from time to time, just in Fucheng to rest and prepare for war, although it was far away from Southern Chu, but relying on water transportation and the rich products in Shu, the supply of the Southern Chu army was not lacking. The battle is at a stalemate.

On November 27, he finally got Dayong's battle report.

Dayong led 200,000 by Yongwang Li Zhen, due to the pre-bribed Yangping Pass guards, easily broke through the pass, even the battle and success, it took two months to conquer Nanzheng, although Dongchuan belongs to the Shu Kingdom, but the prosperity and splendid are in Xichuan, so the people of Dongchuan can not help but resent, after Li Zhen entered Sichuan, the army did not commit any crime in the autumn, and swept the remnants of the defeated army everywhere, swept away the thieves, less than three months, Dongchuan was pacified, Li Zhenfang Chen Bing Jia Meng Pass, Jia Meng Pass was broken, then there was no barrier on the east side of Chengdu.

Meng Yun, the lord of Shu, defended the enemy on both sides, overstretched, and urgently dispatched, the defenders of Jiameng Pass reached a total of 90,000, and sent 20,000 to aid the city, and Chengdu was empty. On November 12, 20,000 reinforcements entered the city with the support of 30,000 defenders of Ruocheng and 20,000 troops of Wei Xian.

When Prince De got the battle report, his face was blue and black, because even if Dayong retreated, as long as he held Yangping Pass, Dongchuan would inevitably be controlled by Dayong, and if he couldn't get the city, he would not be able to resist the Shu army, and if he retreated to Ba County, he would not be reluctant, so now, Nanchu is more anxious than Dayong to attack Shu. However, after so many days of confrontation without the slightest progress, how can it not be worrying. However, it is comforting that the reinforcements of Southern Chu have arrived, and now the Southern Chu army has a total of 90,000 land and water armies, at least it will not be defeated, so that under the attack of Dayong and Southern Chu, Shu will inevitably be defeated sooner or later, but it may not be that Southern Chu will get Chengdu afterwards.

During this time, I lived a relatively leisurely life, walking around every day except for eating, of course, in order to be careful of the spies and assassins of the Shu army, I would not go too far, and if it was too leisurely, it would inevitably attract people's eyes, anyway, I can't intervene now. Rong Yuan took advantage of my illness and deprived me of the right to counsel military affairs, of course, under the pretext of being my serious illness. To him, I'm still sick. But I don't care, this battle shouldn't have much chance of being defeated anyway.

Idle is also idle, I told Xiao Shunzi to find a guard, Xiao Shunzi thought for a long time, very embarrassed, he didn't know too many masters can be introduced to me, according to him, if the masters he met could fight were killed by him, and they needed loyalty, which was even more difficult, he asked me if I wanted to find a little eunuch as an apprentice to teach him martial arts, and then protect me, I refused, one reason is that the time is too long, and the other reason is that the eunuch has no way to go out of the palace often, Xiao Shunzi thought for a long time and said:" In a few years, I will come out of the palace and come to you. ”

I wanted to nod, but if Xiao Shunzi is recognized, or if his identity is discovered, it will be troublesome, and then I simply said: "That's it, I'm going to resign when I go back this time, you don't like to stay in the palace anyway, why don't we two wander the world from now on?" Xiao Shunzi thought about it and said happily: "It's not bad, I've wanted to walk around for a long time, and I'm tired of Jianye." So where do we go? I thought for a while and said: "Anyway, the Shu Kingdom has perished, if Dayong and Southern Chu can't fight for the time being, we will go to Dayong to see, and when Dayong and Southern Chu fight, we will go to the Northern Han to see, and if Dayong and the Northern Han fight, we will go back to Southern Chu." Decades is enough time for us to travel around, and if we get tired of it, we find a place to stay. Xiao Shunzi's face was full of yearning.

Just when the two of us were looking forward to the future, suddenly Xiao Shunzi threw herself into the flowers in the courtyard without warning. The figure is like a ghost, extremely fast, a gray shadow in the grass jumped up, the two figures were separated, Xiao Shunzi retreated, the figure folded, volleyed in the air, and pounced again, the man hurriedly fought back, but was hit by Xiao Shunzi in the center of the mouth, and suddenly fell to the ground.

I saw Xiao Shunzi nodding to me, and walked over lightly to look closer, but the person was a young man in his twenties, with an ordinary appearance, the kind of appearance that could not be distinguished as soon as he walked into the crowd, wearing the military uniform of Nanchu, but I could see that the clothes did not fit well, and I could smell a faint smell of blood, this person was a spy of the Shu army, I thought to myself, I should have handed it in, one was a meritorious service, and the other was a duty, but when I thought of what I just said if they knew it to Prince De, my heart suddenly gave birth to murderous intentions, made a look at Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Shunzi understood, and slapped the man's head with a palm.

The man opened his eyes painfully, just to see Xiao Shunzi's movements, he rolled on the ground with difficulty, Xiao Shunzi smiled coldly, turned his palm, and continued to hit the man's head, I saw that the man's eyes were full of grief and indignation, and somehow, he said, "Stop." "Xiao Shunzi's palm edge has already reached the man's heavenly spirit, and when he heard me stop it, he suddenly withdrew his attack and retreated behind me. I solemnly said, "Brother, I must kill you, if you have any wishes, I can fulfill you." ”

A look of excitement flashed in the young man's eyes, and he said, "Please let my wife go." ”

I was stunned, when did I rob his wife, I didn't seem to have done such a thing.
