The fifty-ninth episode Sun Cao joined forces to break Liu Bei, and Nan Ye made an appointment to ask Sun Quan (4)
Although Cao Zhang said that the no-fight card was hanging high, he avoided Zhang Fei without fighting, but this did not mean that he did not want to defeat Zhang Fei. On the contrary, Cao Zhang very much wants to prove himself once again by defeating Zhang Fei. The result of the battle before the battle has made Cao Zhang realize that fighting alone is definitely not Zhang Fei's opponent, but Cao Zhang also has no advantage in fighting, and it seems that there is only one way to win against Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei is known for his courage and resourcefulness, but unfortunately Cao Zhang himself is not known for his resourcefulness. Cao Zhang pondered for a few days and had no solution, so he had no choice but to turn to Kuai Yue for help.
Kuai Yue also got Sima Yi's instructions before going on the expedition, knowing that this battle would be considered a success if Zhang Fei was introduced, and all the rest of the matter would be decided by Cao Zhang, which was a rare exercise for the young Cao Zhang. Because of this, Kuai Yue did not rush to offer a plan in the past few days, but sat back and waited for Cao Zhang to think. For Kuai Yue, this battle has been won, and as long as Cao Zhang's safety is ensured, it doesn't matter if he wins or loses.
When Cao Zhang found Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue was reading a book in the camp and seemed very leisurely. Cao Zhang, who was eager to win, didn't know that Kuai Yue didn't care about winning or losing, and only regarded the battle in front of him as a training for Cao Zhang. Seeing Kuai Yue so comfortable, Cao Zhang's first feeling was that Kuai Yue was in his chest, so he saluted and asked: "Zhang Fei has been fighting at the foot of the mountain for many days, although we are invincible, it is not easy to win. Dare to ask Mr. Kuai if there is a good way to break the enemy? ”
Kuai Yue couldn't help nodding secretly when he saw Cao Zhang's humble desire to ask for advice, and he was able to ask for advice without shame, which showed that Cao Zhang had made progress. Fighting is not fighting and fighting, Cao Zhang wants to defeat Zhang Fei with his brave and wise spirit, this spirit is commendable, but it is not worth advocating on the battlefield. The soldiers are treacherous, and the battle should be done in every possible way, the time, the place, the people, and everything that can be used is handsome. Leaving the strategists alone and meditating on their own is itself a sign of immaturity.
In the past few days, Kuai Yue seems to be idle, but in fact, his mind is not idle, and he asked Cao Zhangdao: "The art of war is cloudy: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Does Your Highness know the enemy generals? ”
Cao Zhang nodded and said, "Zhang Yide's courage is better than me!" ”
Kuai Yue followed the temptation and asked with a smile: "What else?" ”
Cao Zhang thought about it, then shook his head and said, "I don't know ......."
Kuai Yue said: "Although Zhang Fei has a reputation for bravery, he is short-tempered, addicted to alcohol, and repeatedly drinks and makes mistakes. Why didn't His Highness induce him to drink, and then provoke him with words? If Zhang Fei is provoked to attack, he will inevitably lose his troops. When more than half of his soldiers are killed or wounded, or when he is drunk and unconscious, His Highness will send troops and will surely win the battle. ”
Cao Zhang was overjoyed when he heard the plan, and after bowing down to thank Kuai Yue, he gathered soldiers on the top of the mountain to drink. While drinking, he boasted loudly, telling how brave he was, and insulting Zhang Fei for being timid and not daring to attack the mountain.
Zhang Fei was fighting at the foot of the mountain, and when he saw Cao Zhang like this, he couldn't help but be angry, and scolded with the sergeant. Cao Zhang didn't care about it on the mountain, and scolded Zhang Fei while drinking, but he didn't come out.
I don't know if it's because alcohol can stimulate inspiration, or because Cao Zhang inherited some of Cao Cao's literary talents, and he scolded people very harshly, so angry that Zhang Fei screamed at the bottom of the mountain, and he couldn't wait to invite Nan Ye, the ancestor of the scolding array, to scold Cao Zhang.
Zhang Fei couldn't scold Cao Zhang, so he was so angry that he drove the sergeant up the mountain. As a result, the wooden cannon stones on the mountain were beaten down, and Zhang Feishi suffered heavy casualties, so Zhang Fei had no choice but to retreat again. Zhang Fei had nothing to do, so he simply learned that Cao Zhang drank every day on the mountain, and then sat in front of the mountain and scolded in every way, while Cao Zhang scolded Zhang Fei on the mountain. The soldiers on both sides also turned into shrews scolding the streets, and for a while, the foul language in front of the two armies was endless.
Leping County Shou saw that Zhang Fei drank all day long, and every time he returned drunk, he was worried. The army advised Zhang Fei: "The three generals must not drink and make mistakes, and beware of Cao Zhang." ”
Zhang Fei in the tent saw the county guard restraining his drunkenness and said, "Where do you see me getting drunk?" This is my ploy, you just have to send the wine. ”
The county guard didn't know whether Zhang Fei really had a plan or a fake plan, but he had to listen to Zhang Fei's dispatch, so he loaded 100 urns of fine wine in the city, loaded ten carts, and sent them to the front of the army for Zhang Fei to drink.
Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he saw the wine, picked up an urn and came to the front of the battle, and shouted to the mountain: "Cao Zhang, don't you dare to go down the mountain to fight with me, do you dare to fight with me?" ”
Cao Zhang was looking forward to getting drunk with Zhang Fei, not to mention that his own alcohol consumption was not bad, so he also held a wine urn and said to the mountain: "Why don't you dare? We will drink this urn together. After that, he picked up the wine urn, and poured it down, drinking like drinking water.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Happy! Joyfully! After that, he drank with Cao Zhang.
An urn of wine quickly bottomed out, and even though Cao Zhang's alcohol was amazing, he was a little dizzy. But he still provoked: "The black guy under the mountain, do you dare to drink again?" ”
Zhang Fei said angrily: "Yellow-haired child, I'm afraid you won't succeed?" Then the two of them drank again.
After drinking three urns in a row, Zhang Fei suddenly laughed, and said with a big tongue: "If you drink like this, you will be defeated!" ”
Cao Zhang's eyes were also drunk and hazy at this time, and he shouted to the mountain: "How can you see it? ”
Zhang Fei smiled: "How much wine can you have in the army?" How can you stop drinking like this? In two days, when you have no wine and I have wine, how can you be undefeated? ”
Cao Zhang's heart tightened when he heard this, he and Zhang Fei had been drinking for a few days, and the wine hidden in the army had indeed bottomed out, if Zhang Fei was not drunk and took action, I am afraid that there would be no chance in the future. So Cao Zhang picked up another urn of wine and said: "I'll wait for the wine to be divided today, why wait two more days?" "Drink again.
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Well said! Then he also picked up the wine urn and drank again.
The alcohol content of ancient times is low, and it is basically not far from modern beer, except for the distilled spirits produced in Jiaozhou. Zhang Fei and Cao Zhang are naturally not stupid enough to fight with Jiaozhou wine, but even if it is ordinary water wine, four urns are enough to pour down a cow, and even if they are not drunk, they will be pushed down.
Zhang Fei and Cao Zhang didn't finish the fourth urn of wine, Cao Zhang only drank a small half before he collapsed, Zhang Fei saw Cao Zhang fall down and drank a few sips, proving that he was stronger than Cao Zhang, and then he got drunk together. The two men were carried to the camp almost together by the soldiers.
Cao Zhang woke up as soon as he entered the camp, and his stomach turned over for a while, and he vomited all the wine he had just drunk before saying, "You almost killed me." ”
Kuai Yue's soldier took a bowl of sobering soup and handed it to Cao Zhangdao: "Zhang Fei is drunk today, and he can attack the enemy camp at night. ”
Cao Zhang also had this intention, first, there was not much wine left in the barracks, and he couldn't support him to fight again. And even if there is enough wine, Cao Zhang doesn't want to fight with Zhang Fei anymore, this taste is too uncomfortable.
After Zhang Fei returned to the camp, he controlled the full stomach of wine like Cao Zhang, and then ordered the soldiers to be divided into three people, left, middle and right, corresponding to the three battalions of Cao's army on the mountain. Just seeing the shouts of the Chinese army to kill, they marched separately. Don't look at Zhang Fei, who usually gives people the impression of being a reckless man, but once he uses his wisdom, even Zhuge Liang is difficult to guard against, just like an honest person lying is not easy to be exposed. Cao Zhang and Kuai Yue despised Zhang Fei's fate, that is, they let Zhang Fei plan and lay an ambush.
The moon and stars were scarce that night, and it was not a good time to steal camp. However, Cao Zhang didn't want to be unaware, because the distance between the two armies was too close. Just as Zhang Fei will inevitably find it when Cao Zhang goes up the mountain, Cao Jun's soldiers will definitely find it when he goes down the mountain. There is no point in hiding this distance, what Cao Zhang has to do is to lead the troops down the mountain as quickly as possible, take advantage of Zhang Fei's drunken command disorder, capture Zhang Fei in one fell swoop, and break through the camp under the mountain.
With Cao Zhang's order, the three villages on the mountain came out together, Cao Zhang was the middle road, and the left and right villages were reinforcements, leaving only a small number of soldiers and horses to defend the village.
Cao Zhang led the army to take the lead, taking advantage of the moonlight and rushing straight to Zhang Fei's army. Although Kuai Yue had few soldiers and horses on the mountain, he was not idle, and when he saw Cao Zhang entering the enemy camp, he beat drums on the mountain to help fight.
The rumbling sound of war drums stimulated Cao Zhang's nerves and made his blood boil. The battlefield of blood and fire reminded Cao Zhang of his childhood dream, and following the example of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, he led 100,000 horses to gallop on the battlefield and make contributions, which was exactly what Cao Zhang wanted. Cao Zhang, who was excited, didn't notice that Zhang Fei's camp was extremely quiet, and there were no soldiers in the surrounding camps to meet the enemy. However, even if Cao Zhang notices it, I am afraid that he will not take it to heart, and he will definitely think that the enemy army has no time to react and is still in a dream.
Cao Zhang's attention at this time was all focused on the marshal tent of the Chinese army, and in the pitch-black barracks, the marshal tent of the bright lantern candle was too easy to identify. Cao Zhang rode his horse to the outside of the tent after a while, only to see a burly shadow reflected on the tent, as if he was still holding a wine bowl in his hand, and it was clear that Zhang Fei was drinking.
"Could it be that this black guy hasn't drunk enough? Sure enough! A thought flashed through Cao Zhang's mind, but then he thought, "It's broken!" Zhang Fei is not drunk yet, how can I be his opponent? Just after the second thought, the third thought came to mind, "No! If Zhang Fei was not drunk, he would definitely send troops to meet the enemy, and the camp was unprepared at this time, so he must have just been woken up with thirst and drinking water. That's not the same amount of alcohol. ”
Cao Zhang's thoughts flashed one after another, but in fact, it was only in an instant, and at this time, it was already too late for Cao Zhang to think about anything. No matter what he wanted to advance or retreat in his heart, the war horse had already broken through Zhang Feishuai's tent. Seeing Zhang Fei sitting still, Cao Zhang didn't have time to think about anything else, and suddenly arrived in front of Zhang Fei, and fell to the ground with a halberd.
"Not good! Hit the trick! "Although Cao Zhang is young, he has killed a lot of people, not a thousand, but eight hundred. What it feels like to draw a halberd into the flesh, Cao Zhang couldn't be clearer. The "Zhang Fei" he stabbed fell down at a touch, and there was no blood flowing out, obviously a straw man.
Cao Zhang knew that he was in the plan, so he hurried back, and as soon as he came out of the tent, he heard the drums outside the camp. One will take the lead, block the way, open his eyes, and the sound is like a huge thunder, it is Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei grinned when he saw Cao Zhang, and took Cao Zhang straight with a spear and a prancing horse. Cao Zhang secretly complained bitterly, and reluctantly wielded the halberd to resist. If Cao Zhang and Zhang Fei are not far apart in terms of strength, Cao Zhang's defeat that day was mainly because Zhang Fei borrowed horsepower, and Cao Zhang, who was already a little weaker, naturally suffered a loss. Today, Cao Zhang learned a lesson, fought with Zhang Fei, and insisted on more than 30 times with good martial arts, but it ended here, after all, when it comes to martial arts, Cao Zhang is also a grade behind Zhang Fei.
