"Tap, tap!"

Zhuge Liang was pressed and grinned, but fortunately, he still recovered as before.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh, and a deep sense of powerlessness arose in his heart.

Although Cao Wei's soldiers are strong and strong, and there are all kinds of advanced ordnance, the Taurus Road is bumpy and difficult, and the sword gate is strong and Cui Wei!

In Zhuge Liang's opinion, unless the Wei army can fly away, it is absolutely possible for Liu Bei to persist for a period of time.

But he never expected that in just a few days, Jianmen Pass would be conquered by the Wei army!

The importance of Jianmen Pass to Yizhou is self-evident.

In the case that the national strength is far from Cao Wei, if Liu Bei's Shu Han wants not to be annexed, the Jianmen Pass, as the gateway to Yizhou, must not be lost!

The sword gate is closed, and the Shu Han court is there.

As soon as the Sword Gate Pass is lost, there is only one way to perish waiting for Liu Bei and them!

"Yang Ling, this guy...... There really is a plan of ghosts and gods! ”

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Why is the prime minister so sure, is it Yang Ling's strategy?"

Gao Xiang on the side said in surprise.

"On Cao Wei's side, although there is no shortage of capable people, Yang Ling is the only one who can have such skills!"

Zhuge Liang's tone was full of loneliness.

He fought with Yang Ling for half his life, but he repeatedly fell into disadvantage!

Maybe.

With the fall of the Sword Gate, the grievances between the two will also be broken!

"Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

Wang Ping asked cautiously.

"We can only hold on to this place, there is no other way!"

Zhuge Liang only had 20,000 or 30,000 people in his hands, and it didn't make sense to go north to support Liu Bei.

Besides, if he leaves, and Cao Wei's sailors go upriver and capture Bajun and Jiangzhou, then Shu Han will suffer from the enemy!

The only thing Zhuge Liang can do right now is to pray that Liu Bei and the others can recapture the Sword Gate Pass!

……

Yang Ling led the army, and after repairing at Jianmen Pass for a day, he continued to wave his army south.

The three brothers, Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, and Biqiu Jian, as the vanguard of the Wei army, attacked all along the way.

In just a few days, even the cities of Xia Jiange, Wulian, Zitong and other cities have swept away the road to Fucheng!

Seeing that Cao Wei's army was progressing so fast, Liu Bei couldn't sit still.

He hurriedly gathered everyone in the county hall in Fucheng and discussed the countermeasures.

"Cao Wei is menacing, do you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Liu Bei looked at everyone with a blank eye.

The courtiers of Shu Han were all furrowed.

It's not that they don't want to offer ideas, but the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, and there are no good plans for a while.

Seeing that everyone didn't have any good ideas, Liu Bei had to look at Fa Zheng again,

"Mr. Xiaozhi, what do you have a good plan?"

Fa Zheng pondered for a long time, and then said in a deep voice,

"Cao Wei's soldiers and horses are menacing, and it is really unfavorable to resist head-on."

"Therefore, the minister suggests that Your Majesty can use the guerrilla tactics invented by Yang Ling to deal with it!"

Although the guerrilla tactics invented by Yang Ling were classified among Cao Wei.

But after all, the two sides have been at war for many years, and many generals have defected to each other.

Therefore, Liu Bei's side still has some understanding of guerrilla tactics.

The road from Fucheng to Jianmen Pass, although it is much easier to walk than the mountain road outside Jianmen Pass, is still relatively rugged and bumpy.

Fa Zheng proposed to clear the wall on the Wei army's march route, and send multiple troops and horses to block it in sections to delay the Wei army's march.

"It's a good way to deal with it."

Liu Bei praised it, but then frowned,

"However, I can only delay the speed of Cao Wei's soldiers and horses, but I am afraid that it doesn't seem to have much effect on the entire battle situation."

"Your Majesty is really as wise as a torch!"

Fa Zheng patted his ass and said with a smile,

"In addition, the minister felt the need to send people to attack the grain route of the Wei army!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up!

After Yang Ling captured Hanzhong, in order to demonstrate Cao Wei's benevolence, he exempted Hanzhong from paying taxes for three years.

Therefore, the grain and grass used by the Wei army had to be transported from Chang'an to Hanzhong, and then transported from Hanzhong to the front line through the Jinniu Road.

Although Yang Ling had previously ordered the repair of the mountain road of Jinniu Road, the logistical pressure was still not small.

If you can attack Cao Wei's grain road successfully, you will definitely be able to force the Wei army to retreat!

It's just that before everyone was happy for a while, Ma Tan raised an objection,

"This matter is easy to say, but the grain road is far behind, how should we attack?"

His words were like a basin of cold water poured over the heads of the people.

Yes, if you want to attack the grain route of the Wei army, you must pass through the Sword Gate Pass.

Now that Cao Wei's army is marching towards Fucheng, how could they have bypassed the enemy's main force and attacked the Wei army's grain route through the Jianmen Pass?

However, Fa Zheng had already thought about this, and said with a confident smile,

"The barbarian king Meng Shu and his subordinates have lived between the mountains and forests for a long time, climbing over the jungle and mountains, and walking on the ground."

"Your Majesty can order him to lead his subordinate barbarian soldiers to climb over the mountains around Jianmen Pass and go to attack the Wei army's grain road."

"In this way, great things can be accomplished!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then stroked his palm and laughed,

"How did I forget this stubble! Mr. Xiaozhi is worthy of a clever calculation! ”

Although the Shu Han court was quite unimpressed with the barbarians who were barbaric by nature and did not obey the indoctrination, they also had to admit that the combat power of the barbarians was really amazing.

If Zhuge Liang hadn't grasped their shortcomings of carelessness and ignorance of strategy, I am afraid that it would not be so easy to recover Meng Shu.

"Someone, quickly invite the barbarian king Meng Huo!"

Liu Bei hurriedly commanded.

After a while, I saw a barbarian man with a sturdy body, dark complexion, dressed in strange clothes, and showing his chest.

"The barbarian king Meng Shu has seen His Majesty the Great Han!"

After seeing Liu Bei, Meng Shu didn't salute, but just said in a rough voice.

"The barbarian king doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat."

Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Okay!"

Meng Shu sat on the ground with his ass.

Seeing that he didn't understand etiquette like this, everyone looked strange.

But Liu Bei didn't bother to care, so he smiled and said,

"Now that the Wei army is menacing, I have an important matter that I want to hand over to the barbarian king to do!"

"After the deed is completed, I will definitely reward the barbarian king!"

As soon as he heard this, Meng Shu laughed and said,

"Please ask His Majesty to command!"

So Liu Bei told Meng Shu about Fazheng's plan.

"Hey, I thought something was going on, wrapping it up on me!"

Meng Shu smiled disapprovingly, patted his chest and responded.

Seeing him so refreshing, Liu Bei was also relieved.

"Then I am in the rear, waiting for the triumphant return of the Barbarian King!"

"Without further ado, let's hope that the barbarian king will set off immediately!"

Fa Zheng said with a smile on the side.

"Well said, well said!"

When Meng received the order, he got up and left, swaggering back to his camp.

Before he could enter the tent, he said in a loud voice,

"Madame, ma'am!"
