Chapter Ninety-Six: Making Kites to Emulate Posterity
Ma Chao was also a person with a short strategy, although he knew that he couldn't attack forcibly, where could he think of a plan to break through? Then his face turned red, and he replied in a low voice: "I have to think about it in the long run." Zhang Fei refused to give in, and continued: "How to think about the long term? Our army does not have many soldiers and horses, and the capture of Dingjun Mountain is to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared. If Xiahou Yuan is prepared, how can our army break it? ”
Zhao Shu saw that Ma Chao was even more embarrassed, but he was afraid that the two would lose their words, so he said: "You are tired of marching, you can go down and rest first." When it comes to breaking the barrier, Shu has his own opinions. Waiting for everyone to come out of the tent, Zhao Shu shook his head and turned back to his tent. Zhao Shu is the main general, Gao Ping, and Rong'er also stayed in the army together. As soon as he entered the tent, Rong'er stepped forward, and saw that he was worried, so he was relieved: "The terrain of Yangping Pass is dangerous, and Zhang He is a famous general of the Cao family, so it is also natural for him to be anxious not to break through the pass, so Mr. Don't worry too much."
Zhao Shu didn't understand this truth, but as Zhang Fei said, if he couldn't pass Yangping Pass as soon as possible, how could he achieve the effect of a surprise attack on Dingjun Mountain? Cao Cao is indeed a military strategist, although he is far away in Nanzheng, he can plan the overall situation. Zhao Shu sat down dejectedly, just now I also saw that Zhang He is determined not to fight, how to break through Yangping Pass, it really became a problem. Rong'er hurriedly served him a cup of tea, and then persuaded: "The more anxious Mr. is, the more difficult it will be to come up with a good plan, so you might as well rest for a while." ”
If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, Zhao Shu nodded, took a sip, and saw Gao Ping striding into the tent, covered in dust, he was very surprised, so he asked, "Where did Brother Gao go?" Gao Ping didn't answer, took a few sips of the tea next to him, and then said, "I went to Guanxia to inspect the terrain just now." Zhao Shu hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said, "It turns out that I am running around for Shu again, working hard, big brother." ”
Gao Ping snorted lightly and said, "Rong'er asked me to go, you don't have to thank me." Zhao Shu glanced at Rong'er gratefully, and still said, "It's all to thank." Then he asked, "After reading it, what does the eldest brother think?" Speaking of this, Gao Ping's expression became more and more solemn, and he shook his head slightly and said: "Sure enough, it is a dangerous pass, if Zhang Hezhen does not fight, it will indeed be difficult to break." Isn't that in vain? Zhao Shu didn't know this, so he had to shake his head and sigh.
Rong'er knew that Gao Ping was not only strong in martial arts, but also good at marching troops, since he also said this, Yangping Pass was really difficult to break, and couldn't help but say: "This tattered pass, is it really so difficult to capture?" Don't you need the help of the heavenly soldiers and generals? Hearing the words "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals", Zhao Shu suddenly remembered a battle example, so he said to Gao Ping: "Can Brother Gao accompany the younger brother to the gate to inspect again?" Gao Ping, Rong'er and the others saw that his face was happy, and they asked, "Could it be that you already have a plan to break the enemy?" Zhao Shu just had a draft, but he didn't know if it was feasible, so he only said for the time being: "I'll go and see the terrain first." ”
Although Gao Ping was not very willing to help Zhao Shu, he also wanted to know what plan he could have, so he agreed to go with him at the moment. Rong'er was not willing to be left behind and asked to go with her. Zhao Shu was also indispensable, and the three of them went out of the camp together and went to Yangping Pass. Sure enough, there is a good Xiongguan, there are cliffs on both sides, and only the middle pass can be passed. Zhao Shu carefully inspected the mountains on both sides, and asked unconsciously, "I don't know if I can climb these two mountains?" ”
Gao Ping saw that he came to the front of the pass, and he didn't look at the pass and only kept looking at the mountain walls on the left and right, so he guessed that Zhao Shu wanted to take a detour, what kind of trick was this? Immediately, he despised it a little, and replied coldly: "Although this mountain is steep, there must be a path to climb, and no matter how hard it is, you can go up with a rope." I just want to bypass the pass, I'm afraid that the cavalry can't carry the weight, so can I defeat Xiahou Yuan with infantry dry food? Zhao Shu knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, and said with a smile: "You don't have to take a detour, you just need to be able to go up to the mountains on both sides." He had already thought of the battle in which Guo Jing accompanied the Mongolian army to the west. On the mountains on both sides, the Mongolian army used camp tents to make "parachutes", and the divine soldiers descended from the sky on the gates, which could not only easily enter the city, but also intimidate and deter the opposing soldiers.
Rong'er saw that his face was full of joy, and she couldn't help asking, "Did you really think of a plan to break the level?" Zhao Shu nodded, and said silently in his heart: Zhang He, Zhang He, why are you so unlucky, you always meet me? But when they returned to the camp together, they gave the order that the tent be raised.
After a while, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and other generals gathered in the tent, and Zhao Shu asked the guide: "Is there a bamboo forest around here?" The middle of the river is rich in bamboo, and the guide immediately replied: "There is a large area not far from the southeast." Zhao Shu then took out a token and said, "General Ma Dai." Ma Dai came out in response, hugged his fists and said: "The end will be." Zhao Shu handed him the token and said, "Order you to lead five hundred sergeants to go with the guide, and be sure to cut down 10,000 bamboos and return to the camp before tonight to give orders." Ma Dai shouted his voice and took the order, and strode out of the tent under the surprised eyes of everyone.
When Zhao Shu asked people to tie this thing behind him, Ma Chao seemed to understand what he meant, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Sir, you don't have to try it yourself. Zhao Shu actually had a weak heart, but it seemed unreasonable to let others take risks with his own hands, so he had to smile and say: "It's okay, if I can't even believe myself, how can I let the soldiers be trusted?" Then he told the people to retreat, and when they moved their muscles, they closed their eyes and jumped vigorously.
is really worthy of being the champion of the school kite festival that year, Zhao Shu landed very safely, and he didn't rush to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, so he smiled and said to everyone: "When General Ma Dai comes back, you can order the sergeant to make it according to this, and then raid Yangping Pass from the mountains on both sides." "Before it gets dark, Ma Dai came back with a large number of spotted bamboos. It's light and strong, and it's a great material for making big kites. Zhao Shu hurriedly ordered the sergeants to rush to build overnight, the more the merrier, but he was not idle, personally inspected the battalions and gave instructions, and did not return to the camp tent to rest until midnight.
Zhao Shu knew that everyone didn't understand his intentions, so he said, "Generals, please follow me outside the tent." Then he ordered them to fetch some bamboo sticks, ropes, linen cloth, and all the other things they needed. After a while, a sergeant prepared to stop for him, and Zhao Shu personally drew his sword and began to make the largest "kite" he had ever made in his life. It's not difficult to do this, the key is whether it is strong and usable, Zhao Shu was so busy that he was sweating profusely, and finally announced that it was completed. The generals still didn't seem to understand Zhao Shu's intentions, so they took this special "kite" and climbed the arrow towers on both sides of the gate.
