Chapter 762 Zhang Fei's recklessness

If Zhuge Liang was given enough time, the internal troubles in Chengdu City could be solved, but unfortunately, he had no time.

Outside the city of Chengdu, the first six legions arrived, and their appearance here helped the Celestial Empire army to attack the city, which was already unfavorable to the Western Shu army defending the city. But what is even more fatal is the second point, Liu Bei, the emperor of the Han Yuan Dynasty, was burned to the company camp outside the public security city, and most of the army led by him was destroyed, and only 50,000 people hid on a high ground leading from Jingzhou to Yizhou, waiting for his help.

If it is just that Liu Bei is surrounded, Zhuge Liang will not hesitate to take the Xishu army in his hand to rescue him, but he knows that once he leaves, Chengdu will inevitably change, at that time, even if he can save Liu Bei, I am afraid that Chengdu will change hands, at that time, he will not even have a way to retreat.

When Zhuge Liang, who got the news, was entangled in himself, outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, the third general Zhang Fei came.

Zhang Fei naturally came after getting the news that his eldest brother and emperor Liu Bei was besieged. In his opinion, the first thing he should do at this time is to save his eldest brother, but he can't figure out why Zhuge Liang still hasn't moved.

Zhang Fei is one of Liu Bei's most trusted people, this time when he sent someone to Chengdu to deliver the news, he deliberately kept an eye, that is, he told Zhuge Liang the news at the same time, and also told Zhang Fei, what he was afraid of was that his prime minister would hesitate, if that was the case, he would be in danger.

Zhuge Liang really didn't want to tell Zhang Fei right away, in his opinion, even if he wanted to save Liu Bei, he needed to have a place to retreat before he could do it, otherwise, it would not be to save him, but to send him to death.

It's just that he didn't think that Liu Bei didn't fully trust himself, and the news was notified to Zhang Fei at the same time, which can be seen from the fact that as soon as the other party appeared in front of him, he claimed to save his eldest brother.

Thinking that this news must have been sent by Liu Bei to inform him, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel a heaviness in his heart, which was enough to show that the emperor didn't believe in him, and with this, he felt a sense of sadness.

It can be said that since Zhuge Liang joined Liu Bei's camp, he has been conscientious in doing things, don't look at him like power very much, but that is just to better integrate the power of Xishu.

is not comparable to the Celestial Empire, with the existence of Zhang Chao, the Celestial Empire can completely achieve everyone in unison. Xishu really can't achieve such efficiency, Liu Bei seems to be a little afraid of Zhang Chao, he just wants to guard the land of Yizhou and Jingzhou, and he doesn't think of attacking the Celestial Empire, so Zhuge Liang can only do his best.

It's just that he never thought that the behavior he asked for for Xishu would make Liu Bei vigilant, and at this glance, his years of effort didn't seem to be worth it.

Even sometimes Zhuge Liang wondered if it was right for him to choose to defect to Liu Bei when he first came out of the mountain. After all, when you take out your heart to help someone, you do find that this person does not completely trust you, and even wary of you, afraid that that kind of sadness is not something that can be expressed in words.

It's just that there is no if in history, and there has never been, and things have reached this extent, and it is not because Zhuge Liang said that change can be changed. Now all he has to do is how to convince Zhang Fei to save Liu Bei after pacifying Chengdu first.

"The third general is here, please take a seat." Facing Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang was not so domineering, because he knew that in terms of status, this person was not inferior to himself, especially in the army, which could play a role in responding to all calls.

"Prime Minister, do you know about my eldest brother's siege?" Zhang Fei didn't even have a seat, so he stared at Zhuge Liang with his bronze bell-like eyes.

"Well, I just heard about it, too." Zhuge Liang could only acquiesce at the moment, because even if he said he didn't know now, that Zhang Fei would not give up the topic.

"I know, I don't want to find a way to lead troops to the rescue. The eldest brother is the emperor of the Han family, if something happens to him, there will be no need for Xishu to exist. Hearing that Zhuge Liang really knew, but there was no action here, Zhang Fei couldn't help but get a little angry. He naturally knew that the city was not stable, but in his opinion, these things were nothing compared to the safety of his eldest brother. Imagine, even if Chengdu is stable, but without the eldest brother and the emperor, how will the Han family continue, can Xishu still be called Xishu?

Zhang Fei is here to hold him accountable, Zhuge Liang looked at the other party's already dark face even more black, so he took a long breath and explained: "Third general, Liang knows what you mean, and he is also trying to save the emperor." ”

"Why do you need to think about it, as long as the prime minister hands me over 100,000 soldiers, I can see that Lao Zhang will raise troops to rescue my eldest brother." Zhang Fei patted his chest fiercely, a picture of no need to think about it, things are very simple.

Zhang Fei's strength is not bad, even compared with his second brother Guan Yu, he is not too worried, he has such self-confidence. But Zhuge Liang does know that handing over the military power now is not to help others but to harm others, and he will never agree.

"The three generals don't be in a hurry first, wait for the light to speak slowly." Zhuge Liang also wanted to move the other party with his three-inch incorruptible tongue.

It's just about the safety of the eldest brother, Zhang Fei also lost patience this time, his head shook like a wave drum at the moment and said: "Okay, Prime Minister, I must do it to save the eldest brother and I Lao Zhang, you just need to prepare the food and grass for the army to travel, and say goodbye." ”

Without waiting for Zhuge Liang to say something, Zhang Fei walked out with his fists in his hands, and put Zhuge Liang there alone, it can be said that in Xishu, except for Liu Bei, he dared to ignore the face of the prime minister like this, even the second general Guan Yu would not do this.

Seeing Zhang Fei walking out in such a hurry, Zhuge Liang had to shake his head. He would not arrange for someone to prepare grain and grass, so it could be regarded as a means to support Zhang Fei.

Zhuge Liang was still thinking about how to solve the problems in Chengdu City, and reported it from the inside, and the powerful ministers in the city had begun to contact the Shi family, and it became more and more frequent, and it seemed that the time for him to make a move was very close.

As long as Zhuge Liang is given three days, he can gather and eradicate the unstable factors in the city, and he will have nothing to worry about when he leaves Chengdu. But early the next morning, when Zhuge Liang was still sleeping, the voice of General Wang Ping sounded outside the door, "Prime Minister is here, hurry up and pass it on for me, there will be something important to repay at the end." ”

Early in the morning, Wang Ping, who has a calm temperament, came to call the door, which did not conform to his style of doing things. But because of this, Zhuge Liang got up in a daze after hearing it, and told him in his feeling that something big must have happened. Could it be that the unstable factors in the city have failed? But it shouldn't be, the defense of Chengdu City has been in the hands of General Liao Hua, and this person is also a member of Xishu's generals, with him, there shouldn't be anything in the city.

With a puzzled face, Zhuge Liang put on his coat and walked into the hall, where he saw the anxious general Wang Ping.

As soon as he saw Zhuge Liang, Wang Ping immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Prime Minister, something is wrong, the three generals went out of the city gate with an army of 100,000 in the morning and went straight to Jingzhou." ”

"What?" Hearing that it was Zhang Fei who left, Zhuge Liang was in a hurry, and now in Chengdu City, the total number of troops is only 200,000, which is still a patchwork of the East, but now, Zhang Fei alone took half of it, and more importantly, these troops are going to die.

"Where does the army get food and grass?" Zhuge Liang suddenly thought of an extremely important thing, that is, without his own orders in the treasury, no one could take out grain and grass, even Zhang Fei couldn't do it, so how could he lead the army out of the city?

"Prime Minister, when the three generals left, they robbed all the rich families in the city, and he also said that the prime minister said that these people are not good things, and they have different intentions, so they can just clean them up." When Wang Ping said this, his face changed again and again. To say that there are indeed some people in the city who do not cooperate with them, and even secretly engage in some small actions, but there are some things that are okay to think about in their hearts, and in the absence of conclusive evidence, they must not be done casually, which is tantamount to giving people the truth.

Hearing that Zhang Fei did not say hello and made the first move, it was tantamount to making the contradiction public, and it was foreseeable that the Shi family in the city must hate them so much now, and they would definitely think that what the three generals did was agreed by him, so that solving the problem would only become much more troublesome.

"General Wang Ping, you immediately take the soldiers to the families on these lists and arrest all of them, and you are telling General Liao Hua to prepare to lead the army out of the city." Zhuge Liang understood that without Zhang Fei's 100,000 army, it would be difficult for Chengdu City to be defended, that is to say, because of the move of the three generals, he now had to make plans to withdraw from the city, but before leaving, he also hoped to do something, at least to create some difficulties for the Celestial Empire to enter Yizhou.

Wang Ping agreed and turned around to do it, looking at the background of his departure, Zhuge Liang shook his head lightly, he was not optimistic about the decision he had just made, because if he was one of those scholars and clans, after Zhang Fei's incident, he would definitely want to find a place to hide first. It's just that he knows this, and he can only do this now.

Everything was as Zhuge Liang expected, and when Wang Ping entered the mansion of the sergeant's family in the city with the army one by one, there were already empty buildings one by one, except for some maids and family members who were not taken away, none of their core personnel could be found.

Wang Pingfei was a person who killed indiscriminately, and he couldn't find the right master, so he led his troops back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and returned to Zhuge Liang.
