"Yide stayed in Chang'an, that is Yun Chang's son, Guan Tanzhi."

"What?"

Liu Bei was killed, and Zhuge Liang was not in the city.

At this time, he had already guessed in his heart that Liu Bei was desperate to repel the army of high-ranking cadres, and Zhuge Liang's eyes were full of emotion.

"That's the lord just now."

"It's okay, although I have been in the battle formation for a long time, my martial arts are still there, and I tried my sword just now, and my swordsmanship is not unfamiliar."

"The body of the lord's daughter, you must be cautious in the future"

Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Bei had martial arts, and although he was moved in his heart, he was not overly entangled, and then asked:

"What is the situation with Chen Cang and Yunyang? The generals of Liangzhou will only take advantage of the fire to rob, as long as we can block the enemy in the east, it is expected that they will not attack with all their might. ”

Liu Bei shook his head and replied: "I heard that the offensive has been strengthened, but Chen Cang should be fine, when I returned to Chang'an, Zilong had not yet asked for help, and it was relatively difficult for Yunyang to have few soldiers, but I also sent Yuan Qi to reinforce, and I let Yide sit in Chang'an, which had the intention of deterring the generals of Liangzhou." ”

"It's good that Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't attack in an all-round way, fortunately, the ten coalition forces in Liangzhou have their own ghosts, if they really work together to capture the city, Zilong and Wenchang can only retreat to Chang'an, but it's a pity that the food in Guanzhong this season, the people finally waited for the harvest, but they didn't expect to work in vain."

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and shook his head gently, he spent a year stabilizing Guanzhong and Tuntian to grow grain, but he didn't expect such a change.

Liu Bei comforted: "Since they have not bypassed Chencang and Yunyang, the affected Guanzhong area is relatively limited, as long as we repel the enemy on the eastern front as soon as possible, it should be too late to harvest grain, otherwise it will be delayed for a while, and it will rot in the ground." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and analyzed: "Gao Gan's way, now he has been frustrated by the lord, I guess he will not stay in Linjin, it is likely to return to Hedong and other opportunities, and the state is only nominally attached to Cao Cao, how can there be such a hard work?" ”

"How is the enemy of Tongguan?"

"The main generals will be Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and a few generals from Hebei, maybe the soldiers and horses are all Hebei soldiers, so they didn't attack Tongguan head-on, but just sent generals to fight under the pass every day, and pretended to transfer ships to Rao Pass to cross the river, it seems that it is to cover Gao Gan, if it weren't for Liang to use himself as bait, Tongguan may have been lost, dangerous." Zhuge Liang shook his head after speaking.

Liu Bei thought about it after hearing this, frowned and said: "Cao Hong and Cao Xiu are quite capable of strategy, but they are not incompetent and reckless, Uncle has worked hard to defend the city during this time, I plan to rush to Tongguan first, and cheer up the soldiers guarding the pass, on the way I have explained to Tanzhi (Guan Ping), he will listen to the dispatch of the military division when he goes to Guanzhong, you will use him to retire and do a good job, the five thousand athletes are all elite soldiers trained by Yun Chang." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded lightly: "Liang has seen it in the city, General Guan is really a general." ”

"Without further ado." Liu Bei held Zhuge Liang's hand, shook it and said solemnly: "I will go to Tongguan to supervise the battle first, pursue the senior cadres, report back to Chang'an, and other matters, and then hand them over to the military division." ”

"The lord can rest assured, and he will live up to his trust."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a long time under Huayin City, and Liu Bei led the guards east to Tongguan.

Huayin and Tongguan are more than 20 miles apart, and they can be reached in less than half a day.

Liu Bei broke the high cadre in the morning and appeared in Tongtong Pass in the afternoon.

When the Tongguan soldiers heard that Liu Bei was there in person, they all let out excited shouts.

This move made the people in the city who called for war wonder, and said in their hearts, "Are you having a convulsion today?"

The sergeant led Liu Bei to the gate, and Chen Zhi, who was dressed in armor, rushed to salute.

"My lord."

"Uncle is exempt, Tongguan is the gateway to Guanzhong, there must be a lot of pressure on your side, what is happening now?"

Liu Bei's question was not easy to answer, Chen Zhi thought about it before he clenched his fists and said: "Although Cao Hong has 30,000 soldiers and horses, most of them are Hebei soldiers, although there are future battles every day, but they are just pretending to put some pressure, including transferring boats to cross the river.

The clairvoyant mirror sent by Long Xiang is limited, and it has to be distributed to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu and others.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Liu Bei patted Chen on the back, and then walked to the edge of the city wall.

When Chen Zhi appeared on the edge of the city wall, the generals and pawns who were fighting under the city immediately insulted and ridiculed.

"Chen is a child, timid."

"Chen to the child, the turtle with a shrunken head."

"Chen Dao, it's useless for you to defend it, the state soldiers have crossed the river from Pubanjin, and they will soon go around to the back of the pass, you are so afraid of death, why don't you take the troops and flee back to Chang'an?"

"Your lord and fellow countryman Shiren have descended, and you, the general who follows behind, can't get ahead in this life, why do you insist on doing so much?"

"Chen Dao, do you dare to come down and fight with Naigong?"

"Chen Dao, Liu Bei has already died in Jingzhou, why don't you surrender early?"

Liu Bei originally listened to it as a joke, but suddenly heard someone mention himself, he moved two steps forward, and said coldly to Guan Xia in a deep voice:

"Full of nonsense, thinking makes people laugh, that's how Cao Cao taught you? Liu Bei himself is here. ”

"Liu Bei?"

"Really?"

The scolder was speechless on the spot.

Why did I scold Liu Bei? Is this person real or fake?

Immediately they went to the camp and asked for instructions.

After a while, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, and Zhang Xiu all came to the close, and it was really Liu Bei himself.

Cao Hong believed that he had a lot of soldiers, so he teased in a deep voice:

"Liu Xuande, you ran very fast, but you came back irrationally, can the 120,000 army stop it? What's the point of you staying here? Isn't Chang'an lost and has no way out? Then I would like to warmly remind you a few words, your henchman Shiren has abandoned the darkness and surrendered to the light, Gao Yuancai's soldiers have taken Linjin, and soon the back road of Tongguan will be cut off, and this is already a dead place. ”

"Huh, huh?"

Liu Bei smiled playfully, and responded coldly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Chang'an is still safe and sound at this time, Ma Teng, Han Sui and other ten soldiers and horses are still blocked from Chen Cang and Yunyang, and you have high hopes for Gao Yuancai?" It was easily defeated by me in the morning, the so-called 120,000 troops, but a rabble. ”

"How so?"

Cao Hong was stunned when he heard this, and then grinned and sneered: "It must be your bluff, I'm afraid that it is already the end of the crossbow, Liu Xuande, you don't have that life, why do you still fight?" ”

"Oh, the ambition of the bird, how can the bird know? Cao Mengde once cooked wine with me, how can you and the other puppets understand? Wash my neck and wait for it, I will go out of Kanto sooner or later, welcome the Son of Heaven back to the old capital, and no longer be persecuted by the bullying master and traitors. ”

Cao Hong sarcastically ridiculed Liu Bei, but was choked by the other party, so he pointed at the city with a whip and shouted angrily: "Liu Bei, don't let go of nonsense, if you have the courage to go out to fight, dare to be a hero?" Don't learn to be a turtle with a shrunken head. ”

"You want to die so much?"

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he turned to look at Chen Zhi: "Uncle Zhi, do you have the confidence to go out of the customs and fight?" ”

Chen Zhi hurriedly clenched his fists and reminded: "Lord, the military advisor has told me a thousand times, and the general must not go out of the customs"
