Seeing this situation, Ma Le also knew that Liu Qi had no time to separate, so he said helplessly: "Since this is the case, I have to wish the general to destroy the rebellion as soon as possible, stabilize Xichuan, and then discuss the matter of Guanzhong." ”

Liu Qi persuaded: "Cao thief is scheming, his troops do not move, he must be waiting for the Xiliang army to be slack, spontaneous chaos, if Weishui is difficult to break, to persuade General Ma to act at the opportunity, the gentleman to take revenge, ten years is not too late, if you see that you can't do anything, you should temporarily retreat to Longxi." ”

Ma Le sneered: "How many Xiliang men Sima Yi killed me, everyone in the army hates them, and we will work together to avenge General Ma, and we will not give up if we don't break the Cao thief's oath." ”

Liu Qi sighed in his heart, he persuaded him with good words, but Ma Le obviously didn't take it to heart, let alone the young and vengeful Ma Chao?

Most people are hindsight, self-righteous in advance, regretful afterwards, and only after hitting their heads and bleeding will they lick their wounds and remember the lesson of blood.

This time, Cao Cao fought against Ma Chao in the upper reaches of Weishui, and he had already kept Chang'an, and he was not in a hurry to enter the army.

This situation is similar to Zhuge Liang's exit from Qishan, but there is no Zhuge in Ma Chao's army, and Cao Cao is better than Sima, and if this continues, the Xiliang army will collapse sooner or later.

Thinking of Cao Cao's wipe of Han Sui, he had no choice but to plan for him: "General Ma came from afar, the transportation of grain and grass is inconvenient, and there are many miscellaneous people, and it will change for a long time." If Cao thief defends Weishui, he can divide his troops with Han Sui to attack Chang'an: attack the right Fufeng all the way, take Feng Yi on the left all the way, and divide the troops to mobilize Cao's army in a roundabout way to find fighters. ”

Ma Le nodded and said: "What the general said is very true, when I go back to Chencang, I will definitely inform Meng Qi of the general's clever plan." ”

Liu Qi said: "Although I have no time to divide the troops, I will order the Wuguan defenders to dispatch to contain the Cao army with suspicious tactics, and when I pacify Xichuan, I will help him take revenge." ”

Although Ma Le felt that Liu Qi's tone was too big, he also knew that he was kind, thanked him in person, chatted about the situation in Xiliang for a while, and hurried back to Chencang after the banquet.

Liu Qi sent Ma Le away, looked at Qinling and sighed, hoping that if Han Sui was transferred, the horse would be able to rise up and change his fate.

But on the other hand, if Ma Chao is defeated, according to the historical trajectory, he will flee to Hanzhong, wouldn't he have to gather the five tiger generals?

However, the five tiger generals belonged to Ma Chao's worst fate, his father and son and brother were killed, his whole family was destroyed, and then he was not reused, and died of depression, the youngest, but the earliest to die!

Only when he retreats to Longxi will he see the opportunity to act, if he can catch up, it is not too late to help.

When he was sighing, Wei Yan carefully reported: "Visiting the Malay report, the Ba people were instigated by Zhang Wei to rebel, and it was rumored that Zhang Lu was imprisoned in Hanzhong, and he wanted to avenge him, so he has sent additional troops and horses to the passes of Micang Mountain to cut off the road to Hanzhong. ”

Liu Qi sneered: "This Zhang Wei, he doesn't take the road to heaven, and there is no door to hell to break into, just let him be a stepping stone for me to enter Shu!" ”

When the two came to the palace, Sun Qian and a group of officials also arrived from Jingzhou, so they discussed with Xu Shu and Yan Pu about sending troops.

Sun Qianyan said: "Zhang Wei did not listen to Zhang Lu's advice, set up the king of Hanning, Hanzhong has enough money and food, and the men and horses are not damaged, so he should take advantage of his unstable foothold to enter the army, otherwise it will be a big disaster." ”

Liu Qi nodded and said: "Now that Hanzhong has been peaceful, taking Batu Shu is an established strategy, but I am worried that Liu Zhang will take back Jiangzhou as promised, how should Yide's side reply?" If he doesn't return it, I'm afraid that Zhang Song will not be able to return to Liu Zhang, and he will be embarrassed on both sides and endanger his life. ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "General, don't worry, if it weren't for Zhang Wei to escape, this matter would be really a bit tricky, and now it is necessary to send troops to Bazhong, just transfer Jiangzhou soldiers and horses to the north along Bashui, echo the north and south, and capture Zhang Wei together." ”

Sun Gan praised: "The Ba people have rebelled repeatedly, and Liu Zhang has divided the land of Sanba, as the so-called elimination of evil is exhausted, and Zhang Wei must be captured, presumably Liu Zhang will not be persecuted too much." ”

Liu Qi looked at Yan Pu and said, "Brazil Taishou Pang Yi has fought a lot with Zhang Jun, what is this person's ability?" ”

Yan Pu thought for a moment and slowly said four words: "Old treacherous and cunning." ”

Without waiting for Liu Qi to ask carefully, he continued: "This person is close to Liu Zhang, so he appointed Brazil Taishou to defend Hanzhong, but his arrogance and self-respect, secretly recruited Ba people as a subordinate, and wanted to be autocratic and prepare for chaos, and then Liu Zhang was suspicious, so he had to prepare a generous gift and send someone to Chengdu to apologize, so it was fine. Later, when I fought with us, we won and lost each other, and we were more than prepared, and the attack was insufficient, and I expected that he must be uneasy, worried that the rabbit would die and the dog would cook, and he did it intentionally. ”

"I see!" Liu Qi suddenly solved the case.

No wonder Liu Zhang has Yizhou soldiers and horses in his hands, but he can't even deal with a little Zhang Lu, and there is a sixth man who is in the way.

As a confidant, he is not good at fighting on the front line, and he just wants to retreat and protect himself, isn't this a mini version of Sima Yi?

Shen said: "In this way, although Pang Yi is Liu Zhang's important minister, he may not be loyal? ”

Yan Pu nodded, "The two of them may even have been separated from each other. ”

Liu Qi stroked his palms and laughed: "It seems that the matter of my entry into Shu will fall on this person, I don't have to wait for Liu Zhang to come to Jiangzhou, I will go to him for help first." ”

The discussion was decided, and Liu Qi ordered Sun Qian to go to Chengdu to meet Liu Zhang, and asked Pang Yi to send troops from Brazil to fight against Zhang Wei.

The herald ordered to send troops three days later, Shen Tan and Shen Yi transported grain, with Chen Zhi as the vanguard, Yan Pu as the counselor of the army, leaving Wei Yan to guard Hanzhong, and leading the army directly to Bazhong.

Liu Qi surrendered to Zhang Lu and took Hanzhong all, and the news reached Shuzhong, and the territory was shaken.

Zhang Lu, who had given Liu Zhang's father and son a headache for decades, was easily taken down by Liu Qi in just two months, what kind of means is this?

When Liu Zhang learned the news in Chengdu, he suddenly felt a little remorseful, and discussed with Huang Quan, the chief bookkeeper: "I knew that Zhang Lu was so vulnerable, I should have sent troops to take Hanzhong directly, why should I ask Liu Qi to help?" ”

Huang Quan thought to himself that if Pang Yi had been replaced as soon as possible and someone else had been sent to Brazil Taishou, Zhang Lu would have been destroyed long ago, so why would he be in the current situation?

Brazil is too conservative and has a good relationship with Liu Yan, and risked death to rescue Liu Yan's descendants from Chang'an, and his daughter Pang is Liu Zhang's daughter-in-law.

Pang Yi attacked Hanzhong for a long time, but was defeated by Zhang Lu several times, although he barely held Brazil, but the ending was unsatisfactory.

The dignified Yizhou pastor, but was repeatedly bullied by the Hanzhong Taishou, Zhang Lu did not have a general, and all the people in Shu were ashamed of it, and there was no one available in the huge Xichuan?

Since Zhao Wei's rebellion, Liu Zhang is more inclined to Pang Yi and other Dongzhou soldiers, Yizhou officials see that Liu Zhang is weak and incompetent, and the use of people is unknown, and gradually the people's hearts are separated, Zhang Song befriended Liu Qi this time, I am afraid that he has ulterior motives.

Huang Quan had expected that Yizhou would not be guaranteed at this time, and he and Wang Lei both persuaded Liu Zhang not to ask for help, it was outrageous enough to let Jiangzhou go, and to help Liu Qi take Hanzhong, this is not digging his own grave?

But they can't get close to each other, and now that the matter is now, they can only plan responsibly, hugging their fists and saying: "Since Liu Qi has won Hanzhong, you can ask Zhang Beijia to see Zhang Fei and take back Jiangzhou in time." ”

"What Gongheng said is extremely true!" Liu Zhang let out a sigh of relief, the whole person relaxed, and said with a smile: "Hanzhong has been peaceful, except for the trouble of my henchmen, Liu Bowei is worthy of being my Liu clansman, and I should be rewarded with generous gifts." ”

Huang Quan saw that Liu Zhang was not worried but happy, and sighed to himself, in order to drive away a vicious dog, but invited a tiger to enter the door, how could its appetite be so easily satisfied?

The vicious dog just barks twice and bluffs people, but the tiger wants to eat people!
