Su Zesu Wenshi, Fufeng martial arts people, is the former Pillar Festival Guanzhong, starting from the county order, good at appeasing exiles, developing production, and promoted to Hanyang Taishou with accumulated achievements. After Cao Cao usurped the Han, the news reached Hanyang, Su Zesu cried in plain clothes, and the school affairs were given to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was furious, so he wanted to send Su Zejian to Luoyang for punishment. Shi Xun persuaded and said: "The person who mourns the scholar is not the death of the Han Dynasty, and the Xing of Wei is also the Han Dynasty for several years, and the past is no longer the same, such as death and the first ear." If you neglect government affairs after mourning, your words are not accurate, and you really complain about Your Majesty, and you can be killed; If you are still diligent in the king's affairs after mourning, Your Majesty should know that your words are true. ”

So Cao Cao sent the school to investigate, but saw that Su had already taken off his mourning clothes, wiped away his tears, and devoted himself to managing government affairs, teaching the people to cultivate and weave, without the slightest slack. Cao Cao said: "What Hongfu said is true. But he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that Hanyang was the first county of Liangzhou, and it was not appropriate for Su Ze to guard it, so he was transferred to Longxi.

When Su Ze received a distress letter from Ji County, he immediately convened his subordinates to discuss. He said: "Zhang Zhijun is attached to the people, Jiang Fujun is known for his conspiracy, and I expect that Ma Chao will not be able to conquer Ji County." The worried horse has been in Longshang for a long time, and Qianghu is attached, if it is in harmony, the disaster will be deep. So on the one hand, he sent people to Jincheng and Yuzhong to complain about the change, and on the other hand, in the name of feasting and drinking, he summoned the leaders of the Qianghu in the county, and threatened each other with knives to take hostage from them. Immediately raised 20,000 Hu Qi, and Dongtun was in the north of Hanyang County.

Yuzhong Fu Yang Fu and Anding Taishou Qiu Xing also led an army to join, a total of 30,000, and they rushed to the south to kill - but unfortunately they were a little late, causing Yan Yanming to die on the battlefield.

So the two armies set up camp and rested for the night. The next morning a fierce battle began. Ma Mengqi bravely crowned the three armies. Personally charge the battle. Killed Su Zema several times, but Su Wenshi's face remained unchanged and he responded calmly. From early morning to early afternoon, Biqiu Xing's son Biqiu Jian was only seventeen years old, but he was brave, and attacked the flank of the Shu army with his father, killing the Shu general Wu Lan, which caused a chain effect. Ma Chao was defeated, and under the protection of Ma Dai, he only led hundreds of horsemen to break through and retreat to Wudu.

Immediately, Su Ze and others entered Ji County to discuss the stop. Zhang said that the East reported that the Shu thieves had entered the customs, and the generals Zhang and Xu Er were surrounded in Chencang, and we should go to the rescue. Su disagreed, saying: "Today, most of my subordinates are Hu Qi. Wild and untamable, but plundering for business. If you enter the customs, the land of the country will not be destroyed by the Shu thieves, but will be destroyed by our hands. And if Ma Chao comes again, how to deal with it? "It is recommended to advance directly into Wudu, pursue Ma Chao, and spread the flames of war to the enemy's land.

Yang Fu also agreed with Su Ze's opinion, so the army was divided into two, some Han soldiers continued to garrison Ji County, and the remaining half of the Han soldiers and all Hu soldiers followed Yang Fu, Su Ze, and Biqiu Xing into Wudu, and a few days later, they surrounded Ma Chao and ruled Wudu County......

Ma Chao is in Liangzhou, and Liu Bei is also not allowed to enter Guanzhong. After all, the contrast in strength between the two sides was too great, and once the Wei army stabilized its position, the quality of the army was immediately superior. Most of the Shu army were foot soldiers, although they endured hard fighting, but they could not afford Cao Zhen Every time Cao Zhen reached a critical juncture on the front line, he sent Lü Meng to lead the cavalry to attack and harass from the flank.

- Lu Ziming was famous as a general on this timeline, and afterwards he heard about it, and he couldn't help but sigh for a long time. It is known that not only the generals will control the soldiers, but also the soldiers will become generals.

In short, for several days, Liu Bei was unable to achieve a decisive victory in the battle, thus opening the passage to Weinan, and then received a letter sent by Pang Tong to make a detour, urging Liu Bei to abandon the eastward march and turn westward - taking advantage of the fact that Cao Wei's eastern army had not yet come to join, and perhaps there was still a chance to win. Liu Bei asked Xu Shu with a letter, Xu Yuanzhi pondered for a long time, and then sighed: "Shiyuan has already sprouted his will to die. His Majesty should order him to abandon Chang'an and retreat by himself. ”

The main purpose of Pang Tong's "Meridian Valley Strategy" is to directly attack the heart of Yongzhou and attract Lejin and others to help, so as to let go of the Baoxian and other roads, so that the main force of the Shu army can smoothly enter Guanzhong. But there is also a big loophole in this strategy, that is: Chang'an still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, only a small part of the meridian, or can defeat the road moves, but may not be able to smoothly mobilize Lejin and other generals - the situation is not dangerous, Lejin and other generals may not be rash.

——Just like Wei Yan's Meridian Valley strategy in the original history, one of the key links is "If you hear that you are dying, you will escape by boat, and only Yushi and Jingzhao are too guarded in Chang'an."

So in fact, Pang Tong had already made up his mind, even if he died, he would storm Chang'an City, at least to create the illusion that Chang'an was dangerous to the enemy army - of course, it was also an unexpected surprise for him to be able to conquer Chang'an in just two days. It's just that if I had made it clear to Liu Bei in advance that I was going to die on this trip, Liu Bei would definitely refuse to let him go.

Therefore, according to the original plan, if the three generals Guan, Zhang, and Wu Yi can open the passage and enter Guanzhong, they should strive to break the enemy in front of them, firmly control Fufeng County, and then connect with Ma Chao's Liangzhou strategy. It's a pity that the plan can't catch up with the changes: Lejin East Aid, Zhang Fei pounced; Although Xu Huang was defeated, he went west to join forces with Zhang He; Zhang He stuck to Chen Cang and repelled Wu Yi and Wu Ziyuan. Therefore, after Liu Bei entered the customs, in order to rescue Pang Tong, when the plan to control and support the wind had not been completely completed, he hurriedly led the main force to fight with Le Jin and Cao Zhenzhen.

Pang unified his heart to die, so that Liu Bei could seize Longshang, and from then on he could compete with Cao Wei, he had no selfish thoughts, so he instinctively ignored - Liu Bei couldn't watch you die!

Xu Shu and Pang Tong intersected with each other, and they were also unwilling to see Pang Tong die, so he persuaded Liu Bei that if he could quickly break the enemy in front of him, enter Chang'an City, and meet Pang Shiyuan, it would be the best; If it doesn't work, once Cao Wei sends a large army from the east to help, Pang Tong's little men and horses can't hold Chang'an at all, so it is better to let him abandon the city as soon as possible, then Your Majesty can also rest assured that you can lead the army to the west to capture Chencang.

Liu Bei pondered for a long time, and said that it is better to do this, I will issue an edict and order Pang Tong to give up Chang'an and return to Hanzhong from the Meridian Valley - it is estimated that it will take two or three days to bring the letter over, and it will take three days, if I can't break the enemy in front of me and cross Weishui, then let's turn around with Pang Tong.

Immediately summoned the generals and clearly explained to them the current situation, we still have three days to fight, if we can't win, we will turn west and go to join Huang Quan - so how can we win the battle, what is the plan of the princes?

Guan Yu suggested: "Lejin is in Anling, Cao Zhen is in Weibei, they are horns of each other, and it is very difficult to break them." It is better to divide an army to block Le's advance, but lure the main force to Cao Zhen to attack and break this fang first. "And if you can really stumble Le Jin, as long as you defeat Cao Zhen, you can transport some troops south to save Pang Tong first.

Carefully plan countermeasures, draw up plans, and then send Zhang Fei to block Le Jin the next day, Guan Yu led a large army to fight Cao Zhen, and Liu Bei led the main force to ambush behind. But what they didn't expect was that when Cao Zidan saw that the connection with An Ling was cut off by the Shu army, he simply went deep and high, and couldn't come out.

The confrontation lasted for two days in a row, no matter how Guan Yu insulted and fought, Cao Zhen just didn't move. On the third day, Liu Bei gathered all the generals and said that we only have this last day left, and if we can't break the enemy, we can only go. Guan Yu said hatefully: "Cao Zhen is shameless and cowardly, he is really like a woman!" ”

When the staff officer Cheng Ji heard this, he couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration, so he suggested to Liu Bei: "Do you give a woman clothes to humiliate her?" Cao Zidan is still in the prime of life, and he will not be angry, or he can be provoked. Liu Bei had no choice, so he went to collect a set of women's clothes and jewelry, and sent someone to send them to Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen tore his clothes on the spot, so angry that his eyes were about to stare out-he was not Sima Yi, who was over fifty years old and cunning in history, to say that ordinary men really can't bear such humiliation-he immediately replied: "Shu thieves are arrogant, and they will fight tomorrow!" Then he ordered the Shu envoys to be beaten out with sticks.

The envoy jumped with his head in his arms and turned back to Shu Ying, Liu Bei heard the report, there was no way - anyway, there was no hurry in the past two days, okay, then I will stay for one more day.

Cao Zidan was angry here, and summoned Lu Meng and other generals to discuss, saying that Shu Gou insulted me too much, if we don't fight again, the country's face will be lost-"That is, about to fight tomorrow, Qing and other soldiers will be trained to succeed in the battle!" ”

Lu Mengxin said that we didn't have a good discussion, as long as we closed the village and held on, stranded Liu Bei north of Weishui, and waited until the Son of Heaven personally led the army to come, Chang'an could go down with a drum, and the crisis would be eliminated...... But you, General Cao, have only lasted two days, and you have defeated a set of women's clothes...... Anyway, that set of clothes and accessories was not given to him Lu Ziming, even if Cao Zhen jumped like thunder again, Lu Meng was completely insensitive.

Now that the enemy army has even resorted to this kind of indiscriminate means, it is obvious that they want to provoke you to fight, one shows that they can't afford to delay in time, and the other shows that the opponent has a better chance of winning against each other. Now Zhang Fei is deliberately stuck between us and An Ling, monitoring and blocking General Le's department, Guan Yu is alone in the battle, let's rely on the first army alone, don't say anything about "success in the first battle", even if there is a draw, the probability is lower than fifty percent. At this time, you have to endure it, and you must not be provoked.

But seeing Cao Zhen's eyes staring and his cheeks stiff, he was so angry that his originally handsome face was deformed, and most of the generals were also "the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death", and they were so angry that they were as if the Shu people sent not a set of women's clothes, but a set of people...... If this is dissuaded to the face, it will be rebuked and drunk, and it will do no good.

Lu Meng pondered for a while, looked down at the woman's clothes that had been torn and trampled dirty at Cao Zhen's feet, and suddenly bent down and reached out to pick it up, saying: "The Meng family is poor, cherish this Shu brocade, although it can be cut into a silk handkerchief, dare to ask the prince (Cao Zhen was named the marquis of the capital, so it is called) to give it." "You don't want this woman's clothes, so give it to me."

When the generals saw this, they were all stunned.

To say that Lu Ziming at this time, just like the original period when Dai Lu Su was the governor of Jiangdong and plotted to seize Jingzhou in history, he has been completely blackened and cultivated into the highest level of quality as a military strategist, that is-shameless. "Sun Tzu" has a cloud: "Therefore, there will be five dangers: you must die, but you can also kill; will be born, but can be captured; Angry, insulting; Incorruptible, humiliating; Love the people, but it's annoying. All these five will be passed, and the disaster of using soldiers will also be used. The destruction of the army will be in five dangers, and it must not be overlooked. "And if a general can ignore life and death, disregard face, and not seek fame, it will be difficult for you to find his weaknesses and prescribe the right medicine! (To be continued.) )
