Zhuge Liang said: "Zhang Liao first retreated to take care of the overall situation, but when he returned to the camp, he saw that he fled alone, and he must have been discouraged and had the heart to die. Today, I face to face, but I failed, I expected that he must be unwilling, so he simply came to fight to the death. ”

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes opened suddenly, and he looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise: "I don't want the military division to be elegant and transcendent on weekdays, but I also know the intentions of our martial artists." ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "As the so-called heroes see the same, although I am not as strong as the two generals, I am not brave and brave, but only have righteousness and righteousness!" ”

Guan Yu's long hair trembled when he said this, and his heart seemed to be surging, and he hugged his fists and said: "Mr. 's words made Guan Mou's mouth open." ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned: "Why did Yun Chang say this? ”

Gan Ning obviously felt that there was a flash of murderous aura on Guan Yu's body just now, but seeing his humble attitude, he said suspiciously: "Yun Chang has always been a little chatter since he read the Tao Te Ching, I think you should continue to read the Spring and Autumn Period!" ”

Guan Yu didn't have time to pay attention to Gan Ning's ridicule, and said with a straight face: "A certain Fang Wu today will be in harmony with the true meaning: although Lian Po is brave, he is anti-respectful to Lin Xiang, because of his strong temperament, his ambition is also hidden, and his civil and military affairs are harmonious, but in fact, he is like-minded." Guan has always despised Confucian scholars for their high-minded and flashy talk, but because there is no one like Mr. who is wise and wise, listen to your words, you know that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people on people. ”

"Yun Chang has this feeling, and he is no longer the martial artist of the past!"

Zhuge Liang couldn't imagine that Guan Yu had such an understanding at this time, and couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart, if he could really restrain his arrogant temperament, Guan Yu was better than Han Xin and Wei Qing, which was really a blessing for the Han.

Gan Ning thought that he had abandoned martial arts and literature back then, and had been the master bookkeeper for a few years, but he still hadn't made much progress, but it seemed that he was still not as firm as Guan Yu, and said busily: "Military advisor, that ...... Can you lend me the Tao Te Ching? ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "If Xingba is interested, you can read the book "Lao Tzu Xianger's Note". ”

Gan Ning waved his hand and said: "I don't read the books that the military advisor thinks, I just want to read the Tao Te Ching." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled dumbly and said: "This book is written by Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and it is specially written to annotate the Tao Te Ching, which is suitable for Xingba to read. ”

Only then did Gan Ning realize that he had misunderstood, and muttered: "This Lao Tzu really knows how to make a name, can he take advantage of Lao Tzu?" ”

At this time, dinner was ready, Zhuge Liang called Chen Dao and Xiahou Lan, and everyone discussed while eating, if they could get Zhang Liao, it would be easy to take the Central Plains.

Counting nine cold days, the soldiers braved the wind and waited all night, but there was no movement, and at dawn, most of the soldiers froze and complained.

Gan Ning returned to the camp and said: "I see that the military division is too worried, Zhang Liao goes back to recuperate from his injuries, how can he have the spare strength to send troops?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "If it weren't for Jia Xu to see through my plan, it would have been expected that Yun Chang would go to rob the camp and set up an ambush in the camp. ”

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said: "The military advisor is reasonable, Zhang Liao will not come out, if he goes to rob the camp, he is afraid of being plotted." ”

Gan Ning hugged his fists and said: "No matter how his Cao army is, only Zhang Liao alone is difficult to support, the last general will lead the troops to attack the camp first, occupy Wushui, and besiege Kunyang, then the Mopi soldiers and horses can take the opportunity to march north and attack Xuchang in a roundabout way." ”

Zhuge Liang then ordered Gan Ning to lead the troops into battle, and ordered Xiahou Lan to go to find out the information, Guan Yu stayed in the camp, recuperated, and saw the situation of Cao's army before preparing a strategy against the enemy.

Cao Jun also waited in the camp for a night, Zhang Liao recovered his spirit slightly, but he lost his troops and lost his generals, his mood was very low, his eyes were bloodshot, and he occasionally looked at the camp and looked out of the camp.

Jia Xu's expression was solemn, and he sighed: "Although Kong Ming is young, he knows the art of war very well, if he doesn't come to rob the camp, I'm afraid he will be prepared, if the general sent troops last night, I am afraid that there will be no return." ”

Zhang Liao reined in his thoughts, frowned and said: "Guan Yu has Zhuge Liang as a plan, there is a degree of advance and retreat, I am afraid that it will be difficult to retreat from the enemy for a while, it is better to retreat to Kunyang, just in case." ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Mopi has been lost, once the troops retreat to Kunyang, Guan Yu will come to besiege the city, if the troops are divided to take all parts of Yingchuan, it will be like a river bursting embankment, with the strength of the general alone, it may be difficult to take care of the overall situation." ”

Suddenly, Luoyang sent someone to report, and the Jingzhou army sent troops to Yique Pass, with 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Zhang Liao was puzzled: "Could it be that Zhuge Liang used his voice to attack the west and move troops into the Central Plains, but in fact, he had the intention of plotting Luoyang and taking Chang'an in the west to echo Liu Qi?" ”

Jia Xu tugged at his beard and thought: "The terrain of Funiu Mountain is complicated, even if you take Yique Pass, how easy is it to attack Luoyang?" Once I run out of food, the people and horses are trapped in Luoyang, and they will definitely die, and this must be a suspicious army. ”

The two sides fought several times, and they were jealous of each other, knowing that every time the other party sent troops, they must have a deep meaning, and it was by no means a target that could be seen through at a glance.

Zhang Liao thought less, suddenly felt broad-minded, and said: "It seems that Zhuge Liang's move is the same as sending Jiangxia soldiers to attack Wusheng Pass, just to contain the soldiers and horses, as long as Guan Yu can't enter the army, the rest of the people and horses don't have to worry." ”

"It's reasonable, and we should respond to all changes with the same!" Everything seems to have returned to the original situation, Jia Xu nodded slightly.

But I always felt that something was wrong in my heart, Zhuge Liang failed in his surprise attack on Yique Pass, and he was already heavily guarded, why did he have to do more?

When the discussion was being made, the drums outside the camp were loud, and Zhang Liao went out of the tent to watch, but it was Gan Ning who led the troops to come and ordered the whole army to set up a strict defense and not to fight.

Gan Ning stepped forward and laughed: "Zhang Wenyuan, you attacked the camp yesterday, stealing chickens and rice!" Zhang Hu was captured by a certain institute today, if you want him to live, come and return quickly. ”

Zhang Liao gritted his teeth secretly and said in a deep voice: "But eat Wang Lu, repay Wang En, the eldest husband sacrificed his life for the country, but it's just a whole festival." Wu'er is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if he wants to kill, he will kill, why bother to say more? ”

Gan Ning secretly admired and said: "Zhang Liao, Cao thief usurped, why do you want to help the abuse?" I remember the loyalty of your father and son, how about exchanging one life for another? ”

Zhang Liao asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Gan Ning said: "As long as you tie up your hands and arrest you, or kill yourself on the spot, I can put Zhang Hu back, and it can be regarded as leaving incense for your Zhang family......"

"Bastard!" Zhang Liao was furious and shouted: "A certain person who has received the great favor of the prime minister and is in danger of the safety of the Central Plains, how can he ignore the overall situation because of personal feelings? Shoot the arrows—"

At the sound of an order, Cao Yingzhong fired arrows in a chaotic manner, Gan Ning hurriedly beat his horse and retreated, shouting: "What a Zhang Liao, you are so ruthless, if you don't fight again, I will tell you to cut off your children and grandchildren." ”

Zhang Liao didn't pay attention to it, let Gan Ning scold, as long as he was close to the camp, he personally took a bow and arrow to shoot, Gan Ning was helpless, scolded and left.

Back in the account, Jia Xu suddenly said: "You need to report to Chang'an, beware of Wuguan soldiers and horses!" ”

Zhang Liao was stunned, how could he suddenly remember the matter in Guanzhong, and said with a smile: "There are 20,000 defenders in Lantian and three company camps are deployed, and it is difficult to take Chang'an from Wuguan." ”

"Be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years!" Jia Xu sighed softly, and said: "Gan Ning returned in vain, I expect him to come to rob the camp tonight." ”

Zhang Liao was surprised: "Zhuge Liang knows that our army is on guard, how dare he come again?" ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "There are a lot of people available under Guan Yu's command, and the camp last night was unsuccessful, and he will definitely seek change. ”
