"Sir..."

When everything was ready, the Xichuan army led by Zhuge Liangsuo finally marched smoothly in Hanzhong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as he left Hanzhong, Ma Tan suddenly rode his horse to Zhuge Liang's side, seeing that Ma Tan had something to say, Zhuge Liang hurriedly waved his hand to stop the vehicle, and Jiangdong General Jiang Qin also looked at Ma Jian curiously.

"Sir, the students think that we have divided the army into two roads, all the way out of the Slope Valley, all the way to the Meridian Valley, I am afraid that the time will drag on for a long time, Meng Shu and the others are flustered, and the army is in turmoil, so I just sent a sentry to support, and I can cooperate with the military division to attack Tongguan at the same time."

After Zhuge Liang heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and patted Ma Yan's shoulder twice, "Young Chang is reasonable, however, this time to send troops, there is no need to divide the troops, Meng Shu's side, I have already sent someone to ride a fast horse to contact, and when the time comes, they will meet the opportunity." ”

Although he rejected Ma Tan's proposal, Zhuge Liang secretly praised Ma Tan's opinions in his heart, he felt that Ma Tan had really grown a lot by his side, and he would definitely be of great use in the future.

In fact, there are three roads in front of Zhuge Liang, the Slope Valley, the Meridian Valley, and then the Qi Mountain, these three roads can finally reach Tongguan smoothly, send troops to the Meridian Valley, and enter the Qi Mountain, all of which can converge with Meng Shu.

For the sake of prudence, Zhuge Liang did not separate the 70,000 army, but sent the vulture bone alone as the vanguard general, which made Ma Chao a little dissatisfied, but in fact, Zhuge Liang was a little uneasy about the vulture bone.

The reason why the vulture bone alone is to let the vulture bone walk in front of the team, firstly, to open the way for the Xichuan soldiers to meet the mountains in front, and secondly, even if the vulture bone is really suspicious, it will not let the Xichuan soldiers suffer too much losses, otherwise, once he is allowed to follow the middle or back of the team, in case he really fornicates with the rebels and joins forces with the rebels, the Xichuan soldiers will be in danger.

Although Liu Xun interceded and asked him to go with the army, he was regarded as an outcast by Zhuge Liang early, and there were only 5,000 soldiers around the vulture bone, even if he really rebelled, he would not want to hurt the foundation of the Xichuan soldiers.

On this day, the army of vulture bones had just passed, and Ma Chao behind him was still trying to keep up, suddenly, on the cliff on the side, on a tall and steep boulder, suddenly there was a gilded flag, and the flag sail was unusually abrupt and eye-catching.

After a while, with the sound of slow and strong horses' hooves, the middle army led by Ma Chao walked slowly, because the mountain road was difficult, even if he rode the best war horse under his crotch, the speed was not fast, not to mention, Zhuge Liang did not approve of the rapid march.

There was already a sharp-eyed scout, and he saw the flag sail fluttering in the wind from a distance, and the scout hurriedly ran to report to Ma Chao, "Report, general, there is a big flag on the hillside in front of you, with a few big characters written on it. ”

"Huh? What is written, Hugh has to say it quickly. ”

Seeing that the scout wanted to speak and stopped, Ma Chaojian frowned, and snorted coldly in a dissatisfied voice, and the scout had the courage to reply, "It says that this is the place where Zhuge Villager is buried!" ”

"Shhhh What, wait for me to see. ”

Ma Chao was taken aback, he was really arrogant, he dared to slander and insult the military advisor like this, Ma Chao was half convinced, and hurriedly rode his horse to the front, looked closely, and looked closely, sure enough, what the scout said was true, Ma Chao hurriedly ordered the team to stop advancing, and hurriedly sent someone to report the news to Zhuge Liang.

After a while, Zhuge Liang rushed over accompanied by the general Zhang Ren, Zhuge Liang looked carefully, and his brows gradually wrinkled, "Pass my order, march slowly, and be more vigilant." ”

"But, Strategist, don't you think there's something strange about this?"

Ma Tan lowered his head and was silent for a while, and suddenly looked up at Zhuge Liang, "Why, the vulture is walking in front of us, why, when he passed, there was nothing unusual here?" ”

Since he was the pioneer of the vulture bone, it is said that he was the first to discover everything, but since the vulture did not send someone to report it, it was obvious that this flag was planted on the cliff after the vulture's team walked over.

It didn't take much effort, and the scout managed to climb the cliff, only to find that there was nothing here but this flag.

Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Jian and couldn't help falling into silence, and secretly had a little more doubts about the vulture bone in his heart.

It's not that Zhuge Liang is narrow-minded and likes to be suspicious, but the time of the vulture bone is obviously different, he was obviously arrested, but he was let go by Chen Jie in a good manner, which is why Zhuge Liang doesn't add more embankments, not to mention, Mi Fang is a lesson from the past.

Jia Xu deliberately sent Mi Fang to Zhuge Liang's side, and as a result, he easily captured Luoyang and Tongguan, if Zhuge Liang was not prepared for the vulture bone, in case, the vulture bone was like Mi Fang, and suddenly caught Zhuge Liang off guard, and the result would be unimaginable.

What happened behind him, the vulture bone didn't know, he still led people to move forward, and, with Zhuge Liang and others obviously gradually distanced, and after a few hours, strange things appeared again, although still did not find half a figure, but Zhuge Liang's team, but had to become more and more cautious, from entering the valley, until arriving at Tongguan on the way, this strange flag alone, appeared seven times, but did not encounter a single ambush.

Chen Zhi was ordered to slow down Zhuge Liang's march, in order to buy time for the garrison at Tongguan, but Chen Zhi was obviously not satisfied with this, and he deliberately made Zhuge Liang more suspicious of the vulture bones.

Because, no matter what happened on the road, the vulture bone didn't know anything, every time, Chen Zhi deliberately let go of the vulture, which also made Zhuge Liang more and more dissatisfied with the vanguard general of the vulture bone, even the most basic path exploration.

"General, Zhuge Liang's team has passed, what should we do?"

When Zhuge Liang's army passed, he was about to arrive at Tongguan in the near future, and no one noticed that on a cliff behind him, there were suddenly several more figures, one of whom was the general of the army this time, Chen to Chen Shuzhi.

Chen Zhiyi waved his hand, "Tell the soldiers, rest well, give me enough energy, and soon, it's time for us to act." ”

Xichuan's grain and grass will not be transported to the front line in such a hurry for the time being, because the first batch of grain and grass has already gone to Tongguan smoothly with the team, and what Chen has to do is to stop Xichuan from continuing to transport grain to the front line, and not a grain of rice is allowed.

Everyone understands that this battle is not in a short period of time, and it is impossible to distinguish the winner from the loser, whether it is Chen Qi or Zhuge Liang, the competition between the two sides is not only the consumption of troops, whose grain and grass can support it longer, and the supply is smoother, and whoever wins will have a greater chance of winning.
