Chapter 878 Zhang Chao arrives in Chengdu

With such a force, it was only against Zhuge Liang, who only had 800,000 people, and the odds of victory were extremely high.

It is precisely because the odds of victory are too great that the army has a proud mentality. And Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong who wanted to make meritorious contributions, led the Jiangdong First Army to advance with light troops, and fell into the ambush plan arranged by Zhuge Liang and was defeated in front of Jiangyang County.

Sun Quan, who was eager to save his brother, was anxious to save people with the Jiangdong Second Army for a while, but he was accidentally hit by a fire attack, and was attacked by a sneak attack in the middle of the night, losing thousands of camp tents and more than 100,000 soldiers.

Under the two defeats in succession, the crown prince Zhang Tian was also anxious, and personally led a legion to rush forward. I never thought that Zhuge Liang had already arranged, using the alpine terrain to make an ambush earlier, after Zhang Tian entered the ambush circle, he led the water in the mountains to a large flood to flood the army, and under the defense, the first army was seriously damaged, and even lost more than 100,000 soldiers, but fortunately, the combat power was strong, and finally retreated.

Three types in succession, one sneak attack, one fire attack and one water attack, actually killed more than 400,000 Zhang Tian's army. Under such a fiasco, everyone felt Zhuge Liang's difficulty, and had no choice but to ask for help from the emperor Zhang Chao.

The book from the Flying Eagle first came to Jianye City, and then sent a special ship to Yamato from here. At that time, the flying eagle did not have the ability to cross the ocean.

This turning point along the way, by the time Zhang Chao heard about what happened in the Central Plains, it was nearly a month later, and at this time, the weather was getting colder, and even the first light snow had passed in Yamato.

The situation in Yamato is still good. Gan Ning led an army of 800,000 and the 400,000 army of the five kings of the Japanese had a head-on collision, and under the strong superiority of troops, the victory was very obvious.

At the same time, it was also reported that Ono Motoi began to deploy troops to prepare to rescue Yoshida Abe, and in this regard, Jia Xu's military division had already spread the net and waited for the other party to come.

Seeing that the situation in Yamato was gradually becoming clearer, Zhang Chao was staying here, and there was no need for him to do so, so he made the decision to leave here and return to the Central Plains.

Tai Shici, the commander of the three legions, Gan Ning, the commander of the navy, Jia Xu, and Zhang Chao, the military divisions of the two legions, announced the decision to leave in public, and everything here will be handled by the three of them.

Early the next morning, under the protection of the three hundred iron guards, Zhang Chao left the Yamato country on a fast boat, maybe he would not have the opportunity to set foot here in his life, but this place was indeed destined to belong to the territory of the Celestial Empire.

On the clipper, Zhang Chao closed his eyes and sat in a still luxurious cabin. He had long thought that he would have a battle with Zhuge Liang, but because his son had grown up, he originally thought that he would not need him. Now it seems that there is really no way to hide.

Zhuge Liang enjoys a great reputation in history, this person is very smart, knows astronomy, knows the earth, understands people's hearts, and uses soldiers like gods. Indeed, he is not a difficult person to deal with.

It's just that although he has known these for a long time, Zhang Chao still has a lot of effort to recruit talents, maybe because of the loneliness of the master.

Zhang Chao came all the way, and also encountered some crises and encountered some opponents, but in the end he was trampled under his feet, as the Celestial Empire became stronger and stronger, there are even fewer people who can be his opponents now. Zhuge Liang is particularly special.

Masters are lonely, and sometimes the strong also need opponents to become stronger. But at this moment, Zhang Chao did not regard Zhuge Liang as an opponent, but as a must-kill enemy. The reason for this is that this person actually arranged for someone to attack his wife, and this article alone is a heinous crime.

is bright and bright, even if he loses, Zhang Chao has no complaints, it is nothing more than inferior skills. But if you talk about the relatives around you, it will be too dirty to do so, and it will be shameful.

With this, Zhang Chao can't let go of Zhuge Liang, as long as this person doesn't die, even if he chases to the ends of the earth, he will not give up, in fact, the current Celestial Empire has such strength.

In December 213 AD, that is, in the eleventh year of the Heavenly Dynasty, the First Emperor of Heaven came to Chengdu City, the original capital of Western Shu. led the 300 iron guards, and at the same time there were 1,000 special forces from the Zhang family.

The selection of the Zhangjia special forces is not inferior to the selection of the iron guard, and it is even better. The reason for this is that they need to learn more and more complex.

And this time the Zhang family's special forces were transferred, or even all, Zhang Chao just wanted to do one thing, that is, to return the favor with the way of others, wouldn't you assassinate? Okay, then let you see how powerful my Zhang family's special forces are in assassination.

Zhang Chao arrived in Chengdu, at the gate of the city, the crown prince Zhang Tian and a group of civil and military ministers respectfully waited here to greet them, including a corps of long steps, the vanguard corps leader Lu Bu and others, as well as a group of old ministers under the return of Western Shu.

Surrounded by everyone, Zhang Chao strode into the original Shu palace in the city, and retreated after a group of Western Shu courtiers, and when only Zhang Tian and a few other close ministers were left, the prince fell to the ground with a thud.

"Get up." Seeing Zhang Tian kneeling on the ground, Zhang Chao, who was sitting on a high place, had a sinking face and said with great displeasure.

"Father, the son is guilty and lost the battle." At this moment, Zhang Tian did fall to his knees and said with a crying expression.

"I let you get up, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, as long as you know where the defeat is." Zhang Chaoyan reprimanded him, his son should stand up to the sky, don't kneel down at every turn, which makes him very unhappy.

The commander of the first army on the side, who was also Zhang Tian's father-in-law, hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, but Zhang Tian still had tears on his face, which showed that he was really sad.

Seeing that Zhang Tian's mood had not fully recovered, Zhang Chao simply stopped looking at him, but turned his eyes to Pang Tong, the military master of the Vanguard Legion, and said, "Shiyuan, tell me, what's going on?" ”

Although there is a certain description of what happened in the intelligence, it is still not too careful, and now Zhang Chao wants to hear the details.

"Your Majesty, here's the thing..."Pang Tong clasped his fists and immediately explained the general process of the matter.

Basically the same as what was said in the intelligence, Sun Ce, the commander of the Jiangdong First Army, was anxious to make meritorious service, and entered with a single sword, and defeated Jiangyang County. Sun Quan, the commander of the Jiangdong Second Army, was worried about his brother's safety and sent troops to rescue, but he was also stopped by fire. After learning the news, the crown prince Zhang Tian and a legion were also in a hurry to advance, but they attacked in the water and suffered heavy losses.

"At the time of the Great War, where were your Vanguard Legion and the Seven Legions?" Zhang Chao only heard the three legions fighting, and did not see any movement from the other two legions, so he asked out loud, which was also his question along the way.

"Back to the emperor, the vanguard corps did not move is the order of the minister, because I don't know the enemy's situation, I am worried that I will fall into Zhuge Liang's trap, so we have always been in the rear, and the minister's idea is the same as the seventh legion military division Deng Ai, he is also not aware of the enemy's situation, did not rush, but is responsible for the response. In the face of this battle, which led to the defeat of our army, our two legions were willing to accept the guilt. said that he was guilty, and Pang Tong did bow his head, looking like he had done something wrong.

If you want to say that Pang Tong is a person, his appearance is not good, and even a little ugly, with the standard of employing people at that time, it is difficult to pay attention to the appearance alone, but Zhang Chao, who knows his power, really entrusts him with reuse, so that he was promoted to the commander of the vanguard corps at a very young age, and all along, the performance is indeed good, so that many people who originally questioned this decision had to keep their mouths shut.

This? How can the mortise and tenon be cooked? Trick? Say that the oyster gray neck lemon? Stop? Tang Hu Ji 6 leeche? Generation? Brain? Ying? Bo Chen? Song Fei? Eye?? Guya?

Pang Tong took the initiative to take part of the responsibility, which is very rare, in this regard, Zhang Chao waved his hand to signal him to stop, "This matter, Shi Yuan did a good job, I don't know the enemy's situation, don't rush in This is right, we can't joke with the lives of soldiers under the righteousness." ”

After praising Pang Tong with an approving tone, Zhang Chao asked the chief of the guard on the side? said: "Spread my will, reward Pang Tong, the commander of the Vanguard Legion, and Deng Ai, the commander of the Seventh Legion, with 100 taels of gold and 100 horses of silk each, as rewards." ”

"Emperor Xie, the minister is ashamed." Hearing that Zhang Chao did not ask about his sins, but also rewarded himself, Pang Tong knelt on the ground and said.

"Okay, I've opened the golden mouth, and there is absolutely no reason to take it back, so get up." Zhang Chao said in an unquestionable tone, and after finishing speaking, he faced Zhang Tian, who was still with tears on his face, and said: "Tian'er, the road of life is not a smooth one, it is inevitable that you will encounter all kinds of difficulties, just face it bravely, it is not terrible to do wrong things, terrible Yes, I don't know where the mistake is, do you understand?" ”

"Yes, father, the son of the retainer knows, this time the son is too reckless." Zhang Tian is also perceptive, and bluntly talked about his weaknesses, but he really didn't explain too much, for example, he was worried about the safety of Jiangdong soldiers, so he rushed forward.

But it was precisely because Zhang Tian did not explain that Zhang Chao was very pleased.

A successful person, a person who does great things, will never take the initiative to defend or anything if he does something wrong, because they know that there is no point in doing so, it is better to wake up, find out their mistakes, and strive to correct them next time, and they can't make the same mistakes.

Zhang Tian did not find a reason for his failure, but took the initiative to admit his mistakes, which is very good, at least Zhang Chao appreciates it.

"If you know your mistakes, you can change them, and you can do good." Zhang Chao nodded.

"Father Xie encouraged, but this Zhuge Liang is too powerful, and Erchen is really not his opponent." Zhang Tian lowered his head and told the truth.
