939 The Separation of Monarchs and Ministers

Ma Chao easily flew Xiahou Yuan's big knife, shot back, and pierced the head of the horse under his crotch, and Xiahou Yuan rolled to the ground again in an instant.

Ma Chao shouted loudly: "Xiahou Yuan, the heavens help me, you will definitely die today!" ”

With Ma Chao's order, the army immediately rushed forward, Xiahou Yuan lost his horse and weapon, his arms were bloody, and he ran wildly.

Ma Chao kept chasing Xiahou Yuan all the time, and whoever stood in the way would die, killing his eyes. After chasing and killing for more than ten miles, killing more than 10,000 people in Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan ordered to cut down trees and light fires to block the road.

The fire was raging on the road ahead, and there was no river to extinguish nearby, Ma Chao was anxious and turned around in place, seeing that he really couldn't get through, he could only regret letting Xiahou Yuan escape back to Baishui Pass. Immediately, Ma Chao ordered his troops and horses, went to join Zhang Fei, and fought Zhang He again.

Ma Chao and Xiahou Yuan had finished fighting, and the winner was decided, and Zhang He was still pacing back and forth in the camp tent, never coming up with a plan to deal with Zhang Fei. But he suddenly heard that Xiahou Yuan had returned from defeat, and Ma Chao's army was gathering here, and he was suddenly frightened in his heart.

A Zhang Fei is already difficult to deal with, and now Ma Chao has joined the battle again, not only has the advantage of troops, but if the two of them jointly set up a set again, this time they are afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed.

Zhang He paced two more laps, and finally came up with a feasible solution, which was to withdraw the troops. Because he knew that even if he forcibly broke through the obstacles and used his own soldiers and horses to take Nanzheng City, he was not sure at all.

Hearing that Zhang He had withdrawn from the army, Zhang Fei did not chase after him at all, and after he and Ma Chaohui were united, the two of them collected their troops again and returned to Jiameng Pass according to Liu Bei's prior arrangement.

What Zhang He never expected was that on the way to his withdrawal, he met the lieutenant generals Xiahou Shang and Han Hao, who had lost their armor. The two cried that just yesterday, the two generals Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong suddenly led 30,000 elite soldiers, and they had already relied on the advantage of troops to seize Yangping Pass.

Zhang He took away 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there were only 5,000 people in Yangping Pass, how could he resist Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's tiger and wolf army? Zhang He didn't expect Liu Bei to leave Nanzheng, and took advantage of his absence to take a detour to capture Yangping Pass.

"Prime Minister, Zhang He deserves to die for his crimes, and he has no face to see!" When Zhang He learned the news, he immediately fell to his knees, tears raining down. Losing one after another, it was a great shame for a fierce general, and Zhang He wanted to kill himself when he couldn't think of pulling out the short knife from his waist. Xiahou Shang and Han Hao hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them, and struggled to snatch the short knife.

The geographical location of Yangping Pass is very important, it can be said that it is the northern gateway of Hanzhong, and now it has been lost, Zhang He really does not know how to explain to Cao Cao, under the persuasion of the two deputy generals with tears, Zhang He had to lead the army to Baishui Pass to meet Xiahou Yuan, in order to recapture the lost Yangping Pass in the future.

Liu Bei, in accordance with Fa Zheng's arrangement, stopped half of the army in Dingjun Mountain, and the other half of the army entered Yangping Pass, set up a banquet to celebrate the achievement, and said to Fa Zheng during the banquet: "Filial piety is reckoning, but I am afraid that no one in the world can reach it." ”

Fa Zheng took a sip of warm wine, but sighed: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, and it's not enough to compare with Zhuge Junshi and Wang Baoyu." ”

"The previous expansion of the territory, these two people have made great achievements, but now they are resting on their laurels and are not of great use!" Liu Bei was really optimistic about Fa Zheng during this time, and Fa Zheng was willing to fight for Liu Bei's life, Zhuge Liang might still be able to do this, but Wang Baoyu definitely couldn't do it.

Fa Zheng knew very well in his heart that Zhang Fei was defeated one after another, and then won many times, it was definitely not his personal ability, and Ma Chao definitely couldn't think of such a strategy, and there must be a master's plot behind. Needless to say, this master must be Zhuge Liang.

Thinking of this, Fa Zheng inexplicably shed a tear: "There is Zhuge Junshi who is loyal to the lord, and he can also be blind under the nine springs of filial piety." ”

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Why do you say this in filial piety, if you are prepared, you will definitely find famous doctors all over the world to treat you." ”

Fa Zheng nodded gratefully and sighed: "Lord, this is my heartfelt words. Although I have many disputes with Zhuge Kongming, now it seems that Zhuge Kongming has a plan and a big heart, and he is inseparable from this person. ”

Liu Bei was speechless, his feelings for Zhuge Liang were very complicated, and the capable people invited by the thatched house were naturally extraordinary. Zhuge Liang is cautious, never wrong, has always been loyal to him, hard-working, and never picks fat and thin, what size of the house, high and low position, long-term separation from his wife, so far there is no biological son under his knees, etc., but this qiē will not affect Zhuge Liang's enthusiasm for work, and his face is always gentle and obedient, as if he is a perfect character.

Liu Bei also knew that with Zhuge Liang's talent, no matter where he went, he would be treated as a guest, but Liu Bei always felt that there was a wall between the two people, and this wall was his fourth brother Wang Baoyu.

In Liu Bei's view, Zhuge Liang's relationship with Wang Baoyu is deeper than his own, not to mention that Wang Baoyu is now fledgling, every time someone has a slight complaint about him, Zhuge Liang will defend him desperately everywhere, not letting a word, and even turning his face, which makes Liu Bei psychologically unacceptable.

Besides, Xiahou Yuan was defeated, Zhang He lost Yangping Pass, and the news reached Cao Cao's ears, so shocked that his wine glass fell to the ground with a bang, and his ears were buzzing with a headache. Today, half of Hanzhong's land has been lost.

"My lord, Yangping Pass is the throat of Hanzhong, and it must be recaptured." Jia Xujian said.

"What?!" Cao Cao rubbed his ringing ears and asked bitterly, in fact, he could roughly guess what Jia Xu was trying to express without asking, and then ordered: "Order the army to move forward quickly, and vow to recapture Yangping Pass." ”

The 100,000 army left Chang'an and kept heading towards Yangping Pass. Along the way, Cao Cao got several colds, sick, and felt lonely, and there was always a figure in front of him, hippie smiling face, cynical, it was Wang Baoyu.

Since being with Wang Baoyu, Cao Cao's laughter is always more than sighing, whether it is fighting Ma Chao or Zhang Lu, Wang Baoyu can always have wonderful ideas and win again and again. The last time I hit Yangping Pass, this kid actually flew to the sky to explore the enemy situation for himself, alas, I don't know if there is no bastard boy, whether he can still take down Yangping Pass smoothly.

The war in Hanzhong is raging, but Yiling City has not been disturbed at all, the business is prosperous, the flow of people is crowded, Wang Baoyu has nothing to do to go to the construction site to check, because the materials are complete, there are many workers, the progress of the building is gratifying, almost one day at a time.

The weather was getting cold, so Wang Baoyu ordered all the workers to prepare cotton clothes, and at the same time, the food should be improved, and one meal of meat must be guaranteed every day. The workers were extremely grateful, they had never seen such a good leader, and they were all full of energy.
