Chapter 456: The Best Location
"Tomorrow, General Huang Lao and Zhang Fei will drown, and the lord will send an army to make a detour through the mountains and forests, and take Zhang Fei's rear directly.
Liu Zhang muttered: "The way is good, the mountain road is dangerous and difficult to cross, who can sneak attack?" ”
"Husband, Rong'er is willing to go." Xiao Furong is on the list.
At this time, another tall female general came out of the ranks: "Shu Hou, Mrs. Xiao has outstanding military achievements, Zhu Rong has formed the Nanzhong Border Army, and has never fought a battle, this time on behalf of the six counties of Yunnan Prefecture, I hope that Shu Hou will give me the opportunity to make the first contribution to the Nanzhong warriors." ”
Liu Zhang looked at Zhu Rong and nodded for a long time: "Okay, I wish Zhu Rong the young lord success." ”
Zhu Rong originally thought that Liu Zhang had a prejudice against himself and would not give himself a chance to make meritorious contributions, so he asked for his life, so he nervously pinched the hilt of the sword, and then he couldn't help but feel relieved, and promised loudly, leading the Nanzhong barbarian army of 10,000 to climb the dangerous mountain on the side of Chencang and submerge into the woods.
The next day, Zhang Fei had already led an army to challenge, only to see Zhang Fei take off his clothes, his hair scattered, and he waved his spear and shouted with his bare arms.
The Sichuan army drove out of the camp gate and lined up in formation, marching to cover the sun with a flag and a murderous atmosphere. Huang Zhong stepped out of the battle and greeted him with a knife.
Zhang Feispear pointed at Huang Zhong, "Huang Zhong, you are a good man, hurry up and submit to my eldest brother, otherwise don't ask me to stab an old corpse to death with a spear." ”
"Hahahaha, Zhang Fei, you are a good man, hurry up and return to my family, otherwise Miss Xiahou will be widowed."
"Wow, damn it, watch me poke you through 10,000 transparent holes."
Zhang Fei lifted the reins of the prancing horse and shouted to kill Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong picked up the horse to greet him.
"Boom."
The swords and spears intersected, sending out a thud of metal that pierced the eardrums. Liu Zhang sat on the main seat. Look at the sun in the sky. At this time, Zhu Rong should be out of the mountains and forests.
"That's amazing, what are you doing with the diagram? What about learning dumb language? ”
Liu Zhang leaned forward to watch Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei fight, holding two sledgehammers in one hand and gesturing in the air with the other.
"No, I'm thinking about why General Huang Lao's move is to split that flying waist, if it is to the neck, and then drag it down. That sunspot is not looked at, and he has to lose an arm. ”
"Just your two moments, you still criticize General Huang, and you don't have a backache when you stand and talk." Gao Pei pouted.
Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei each exchanged three horses, from Sunrise Station to the middle of the day, Huang Zhong also took off his clothes, only wore a pair of pants, his white beard was wet on his chin with sweat, Zhang Fei was covered in black muscles, sweat was like a stream, and he wiped a handful of sweat to his eyes.
"Huang Zhong. I can't kill you, I just have to guard against your broken bow and arrows. Do you dare to take off your bow and arrows and fight me? Zhang Fei yelled.
"Joke, do you dare to throw your spear and fight me?"
"Wow, look at the spear."
"Die."
The two fought together again, the big knife slashed straight at the door, and the tip of the spear was not separated, and at this time, a group of people suddenly emerged from the woods, and the leader was the barbarian general Dong Dana.
"See Shu Hou, our army...... Our army was ambushed and defeated. Dong Dana knelt down on one knee to Liu Zhang, bowed his head and pleaded guilty.
"What?" Liu Zhang frowned: "What about the young lord of Zhu Rong?" ”
At this time, the two barbarians helped Zhu Rong out of the woods, and the generals of the Sichuan army saw that the barbarian generals were all covered in blood, especially Zhu Rong, there was no five flying knives left, covered in blood, and he couldn't distinguish his face.
"What's going on?"
At this time, a large number of reinforcements suddenly poured in from the rear of Zhang Fei's army, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong each stationed on their horses, and rushed out of the Liang army A white-armored general, with a face like a crown of jade, lips like peach blossoms, a white dragon horse with a red tail and a snow-white body under his crotch, and a snow silver spear with scales in his hand, heroic and radiant.
"Liu Zhang, I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, the general under the command of the general Lianghou Liu Bei, my military division has long expected that you are scheming, and you will take advantage of the battle with the three generals to sneak attack him, and I, Zhao Yun, have been waiting for a long time.
My Zhuge military advisor said, tonight will give you time to settle the wounded, tomorrow my Liang army will arrive, if you don't have to return. ”
Zhao Yunying's morale was compelling, and with Zhu Rongzhong's ambush, the morale of the Sichuan army plummeted.
Zhang Fei said loudly: "Hahaha, my old Zhang seems to have been tricked by Zhuge Liang's kid again, and he actually used me as bait, I can't spare him, but the Sichuan army is really overpowered, and dares to sneak attack my Lao Zhang, now it's okay." ”
Zhang Fei shouted at Huang Zhong: "Old General Huang, do you see it?" Your lord is not my family's opponent at all, the war has not started, it has been seen, you still surrender quickly, I will let the eldest brother make you a former general, how about it? ”
"Hahaha, Ma Chaoyang won a small victory in Pingguan back then, he was even more rampant than you, who won and who lost, it is difficult to predict, General Hei, go back and wait for my lord to take your head."
Huang Zhong pulled the horse back to the battle, Liu Zhang led the Sichuan army back to the camp, Zhang Fei was about to chase and kill, Zhao Yun stopped: "Three generals, forget it, we don't have enough troops, wait until tomorrow for a decisive battle, and then it's not too late to kill." ”
"Oh, I'm going to kill two hundred tomorrow, and it's not five hundred Sichuan barbarians to enjoy it, hahaha."
…………
Wei Yan, Zhu Rong, and Wang Yi knelt in front of Liu Zhang.
Wei Yan arched his hand and said: "Lord, this surprise attack is my suggestion, I am ambushed, I can't escape its crime, please ask the lord to punish the crime, Wei Yan has no complaints." ”
"No, it was my sneak attack that was too careless and didn't discover the enemy situation in time, and the blame is all on me, and it has nothing to do with General Wei."
Liu Zhang looked at Zhu Rong: "Young lord, go down and rest, don't think too much." ”
The two military doctors took Zhu Rong down, Wang Yi looked ashamed, gritted his teeth and arched his hand: "Lord, this grand strategy was set by me, and Wang Yi is also responsible for the setbacks." ”
"Alright." Liu Zhang let out a sigh: "You are right, it is Ben Hou who underestimates the enemy, Zhuge Liang is wise in the world, almost a demon, defeated normal, get up." ”
Zhang Ren said: "My lord, when I was in Xiangyang, I saw the power of Pang Tong, everything must be accurate, and the wisdom of Zhuge Liang is even higher than Pang Tong, Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang Pang Tong, whether it is conspiracy or arrangement, it can be called a unique in the world."
The subordinates were ashamed, although they followed their master Jia Long and also learned some formations, they were not sure that they could fight Zhuge Liang, so they could only do their best. ”
"yes, yes."
The generals glanced at Huang Yueying, who was buttoning her nails behind Liu Zhang, and echoed: "Now my army is afraid that only the Fazheng army can barely fight against Zhuge Liang." ”
"When the army goes north, Jingzhou must have a person who is both civil and military."
Liu Zhang rejected the general's proposal. So everyone wondered why Liu Zhang didn't take his advisers out of Qishan. Jingzhou is in the recovery period. If it is fully restored, it must be the granary of the Sichuan army, which produces much more grain than Yizhou, Li Yan and Jiang Wan are all biased towards civil governance, which is similar to Guan Yu's preference for martial rule in history, Liu Zhang does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past.
But this is only a secondary reason, Liu Zhang has already drawn up a candidate for a strategist, which may be more suitable than Fa Zheng.
"Newspaper. Xiqiang Duhu, the leader of East Tsing Yi Wang Xu sent a letter. ”
The soldier Pegasus came to report, Liu Zhang hurriedly took the letter and opened it, first frowned after reading it, and then showed a thoughtful look.
"My lord, what does Lord Wang say in the letter?"
Liu Zhang called the letter to Zhang Ren, "Wang Xu said, let's go to Beiyuan Road." ”
"Kitahara Province, how is that possible?" Wang Yi had a delicate face, and his brows were furrowed into three vertical lines: "Beiyuan Road is narrow. It is reported that Zhuge Liang has sent 20,000 people to guard it. Our army simply can't get by. ”
"Show the letter to Miss Wang Yi." Liu Zhang said: "Wang Xu said that he has taken the Jinwu Mountain at the head of Beiyuan Road, and wants to attack us on both sides, although Beiyuan Road is dangerous, it must be backed by one side to defend the other, if it is attacked from front to back, the Liang army can only be defeated." ”
Wang Yi looked at the letter and showed a look of surprise: "It's incredible, Lord Wang Xu didn't use Tianshui as a big camp, he used a cottage, it's really unbelievable, after seeing Lord Wang Xu's strategy, I realized that the little woman is really conservative." ”
"Do you think it's feasible too?" Liu Zhang asked.
The strategist candidate in Liu Zhang's heart is Wang Xu, Wang Xu's wisdom should be on par with Fa Zheng, but there is one biggest advantage, Wang Xu is not famous in the world, because he is too low-key, he is not even a celebrity, and a hidden enemy is the most terrifying.
To deal with Zhuge Liang, Liu Zhang estimated that Fa Zheng would not work, so he could only surprise him, so Liu Zhang had no intention of taking Fa Zheng north at all, just to make the Liang army think that he had no mastermind, and then underestimate the enemy.
In this way, there is a slight possibility of defeating Zhuge Liang.
However, Wang Xu used a mountain as a big camp, which is a bit out of Liu Zhang's conventional thinking, and Liu Zhang also thinks the same as Wang Yi, he should choose a strong city like Tianshui as a base.
"The subordinates don't know if it's feasible, it depends on the terrain, but the lord trusts Wang Xu, and the subordinates believe that the place chosen by Lord Wang Xu should not be wrong." Wang Yidao.
"Well, without further ado, the whole army will pull out the camp and march towards the North Plains Road." Liu Zhang stood up, if Zhuge Liang expected his intention to take the Beiyuan Road, I don't know how many incidents would happen, it would be better to wait for Zhuge Liang to arrive and slip away.
"Send fast horses to inform the follow-up troops, immediately turn around, and march towards the North Yuan Road, and the whole army will immediately pull out the camp, keep the torches, and the whole army will march westward."
"Yes."
……………………………………………………………………………………
In the camp of the Liang army at the crossing of the North Plains Road, the soldiers standing guard were patrolling the east frontally, and suddenly a large army poured out of the western trail to attack, and the Liang army was immediately in chaos.
"Huh." A green rocket was shot into the air by a strong man, emitting a dazzling light in the dark night, and the sound of horses' hooves stamping on the east side sounded, and tens of thousands of cavalry of the Sichuan army, which had already been ambushed, rushed to the Beiyuan crossing.
The rockets and arrows were fired in unison, and the Liang army was squeezed on the narrow road, trampling on each other, and the place where it should have been a place where the husband could not be opened, at this time it became a tired corpse field, and the Liang army trampled each other to death countless times, fell into a sea of fire, and was defeated.
"What's your name?" Liu Zhang raised his whip and pointed at a general of the Liang army.
"I'm Hu Ban, a lieutenant under the command of Lianghou, if you want to kill, kill it, don't talk nonsense."
"Kill."
Liu Zhang ordered coldly, and the two soldiers immediately pulled out Hu Ban and cut it.
"The last general, Wang Shuang, see the lord." The king held a big knife in both hands and bowed down to Liu Zhang.
"General Wang doesn't have to be polite, are you already here?"
Wang Shuangdao: "My brother knows that the lord is resolute, and on the day he receives the letter, he will definitely pull out the camp that night, and before entering Jinwu Mountain, he has ordered me to sneak into Beiyuan Road and wait for the lord to arrive." ”
"Hahaha, I have Wang Xu, why not be afraid of Zhuge , open the road first, and the whole army will enter Beiyuan Road."
"Yes." Wang Shuang led 18 cavalry and 10,000 wolf cavalry in East Tsing Yi to open the way, the Sichuan army meandered into Beiyuan Road, Liu Zhang left Yang Huai 8,000 people to guard the Beiyuan Road crossing, Liu Bi led an army of 10,000 troops stationed in Beiyuan Road, to respond to Yang Huai, and at the same time to ensure the safety of Beiyuan Road.
The North Plains Road is narrow, the Sichuan army of 200,000 troops, from midnight to dawn, the head of the army and the tail of the army are separated by a hundred miles, and the whole army enters the North Plains Road, if it is not the entrance of the North Plains Road, and the Jinwu Mountain at the end of the tail is under control, so marching is really a big taboo.
Mt. Kinwoo is a dangerous mountain at the crossing of the North Plains Road, with the movement of the North Plains Road to the west, the terrain is getting higher and higher, and the Mt. Kinwu is the highest place, the top of the mountain is covered with snow, and the cold wind fills the brain.
Wang Xu went down the mountain to greet him, and Liu Zhang, under the guidance of Wang Xu, entered Jinwu Mountain, only to find that there was a cave in Jinwu Mountain.
The whole Jinwu Mountain, like a basin, the surrounding peaks are dangerous and high, the wind and snow are pervasive, but in the center of the peaks, is a verdant mountain forest, the stream is meandering, and the grass is green.
"Lord, this was originally a bandit cottage, the leader Weng Su, and there are more than 1,000 people under his command, all of whom are people who have been persecuted by the wealthy clans and warlords in the Tianshui area.
The subordinates have already selected this place as the stronghold of the future attack on Yongliang, so since he was the leader of Dongqingyi, he contacted Weng Xu Haohan, who had already had the intention of serving our Sichuan army half a year ago, and dragged it to this day, just to paralyze the Yongliang warlord. ”
Liu Zhang looked around, the scenery was pleasant, but he still frowned: "Sir, this mountain is good, so steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as a bandit cottage, it can be described as excellent, but as a stronghold, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" It is necessary to turn over a lot of grain, grass and ordnance here, and how convenient it is to go up and down the mountain? ”
"It's more convenient than the city, haha...... Ahem. Wang Xu smiled, suddenly coughed violently, and Liu Zhang patted Wang Xu's back urgently: "What's wrong with Mr.?" Let's hurry into the cottage, it's windy outside. ”
"Out of the way." Wang Xu shook his head: "The lord comes with me." ”
Wang Xu took Liu Zhang to a mountain peak in the south of Jinwu Mountain, which was close to the cliff, but only to see a big hole chiseled through from the inside, enough for three big cars to pass, and from the mountain you can see the scenery outside the mountain through the peak, outside the mountain is the Beiyuan Road where the Sichuan army passes, and there are follow-up troops of the Sichuan army marching on it.
There are many thick iron chains in the cave, which are connected by gears, and soldiers are stationed at the end of the chain and the entrance of the cave, and it seems that there is an ear chamber at the entrance of the cave, which is specially used for soldiers to rest. All the soldiers are big guys, and they look like they are strong.
Wang Xu said: "Since half a year ago, my subordinates have planned with Weng Xu Haohan to build Jinwu Mountain into an iron wall and a stronghold for smooth transportation.
There are 100 big holes here, the iron chain can be directly beaten down the mountain, if the grain and grass ordnance are transported from the North Plains Road, it can be directly hoisted up, there are many trees in the mountain, the ordnance can be made of local materials, and the iron chain can also be hung down, and the soldiers are directly pulled away from the mountain, that is, it is made and transported.
