Chapter 361: What's the matter, your bones are itching too?
Now Zhang Fei, who is in the Eight Mountains, is not far from Guan Lin.
But it is difficult to go to the blue sky on the Shu Road, and it is still quite difficult to go by land.
It can be in stark contrast to the land route, and it is easiest to enter Shu along the river road since ancient times.
If Jingzhou enters the Sichuan and takes the waterway, there are two, one is the Hanshui between Xiangfan, passing through Nanxiang County, to Xicheng, and from here you can go upriver to Hanzhong.
This is the most convenient road, but because Hanzhong has not been captured, Xiangyang and Hanzhong cannot be connected.
Then there is only one other way, that is, the route that Liu Bei was invited west to Yizhou by Liu Zhang.
That is, starting from Jiangling, crossing Zigui, going up the river, passing through Ba County, to Jiangyang, from here through Luoshui to Chengdu.
Of course, if the destination is not Chengdu, but "Tangqu", but "Bameng Mountain" Zhang Fei, there is no doubt that the back waterway will be much more convenient.
The morning light was twilight, and after staying up all night, Guan Lin finally finished writing the latest chapter of "The Biography of Zhang Fei", which was about the battle between Zhang Fei and Cao Xiu, and it was also the most glorious battle in history after Zhang Fei's ditch battle, and he quickly encountered Waterloo...
At this moment, the paper of this chapter has been loaded into a bamboo tube, sealed with vermilion lacquer, and set off from Xiangyang, first by land to Jiangling, then by water, and then by land to Zhang Fei's hands.
The sky was bright, and before the time for the gate of Xiangyang City to be opened, the gate that was dormant like a giant beast suddenly opened, and in an instant, a flying horse went out of the city, along the official road, straight all the way to the west!
Zhang Xingcai instructed the messenger that his father was in a hurry, and he must hurry...
Guan Lin also instructed this messenger to be fast, because although Uncle Zhang Sanshu won the battle of the ditch, he couldn't stand this battle and the next battle of the next debate as a whole, and it must be seen together, and Uncle Zhang must be "all connected"... Then, realize something as soon as possible.
There were also some merchants and farmers waiting in front of the gate, planning to enter the city when the gate was wide open.
I didn't think that the gate was opened in advance, and I didn't think that a fast horse roared by, galloping, and before I could see the messenger's cheek clearly, even the man and the horse had disappeared at the end of the official road.
These businessmen and farmers couldn't help but think in their hearts:
- "In such a hurry? Is something big wrong?'
Almost at the same time...
Guan Lin in the official office took a cup of morning tea handed by Zhang Xingcai and took a sip slightly.
But because of the newly written chapter in "The Biography of Zhang Feiben", he inevitably pulled his thoughts to the Bameng Mountain, the battlefield of the ditch...
He couldn't help muttering in his heart:
- "Third Uncle Zhang, you can play more leisurely, don't just beat you up before you receive this new chapter!"
Can't float...
As soon as a person floats, he will soon be hit by a steel knife in his back.
Zhang Xingcai, who was on the side, looked at Guan Lin's worried and confused eyes, and knew that he had stayed up all night, and he was very distressed.
But... still told Guan Lin a message she received last night.
"Yunqi, do you know who came to Xiangyang with my mother and Mrs. Huang this time?"
"Who?" Guan Lin asked subconsciously.
Zhang Xingcai blurted out: "It's the old general Huang Zhong and Huang who fought with your father in Changsha... It was he who escorted his mother and Mrs. Huang to Xiangyang. ”
"Huang Zhong?"
Guan Lin muttered the name repeatedly, and what came to his mind was a face like topaz, eyes like copper bells, gray hair, white beard, short and stout, large head and square face...
And then the most, the most, the most important is the image of an old and strong, majestic, but soft-hearted old general.
Besides...
Guan Lin also thought of four words about the old general - a hundred steps through Yang.
also thought of a weapon that Guan Lin had been ignoring, but it was the killer weapon of this old general-bow.
That's right, Guan Lin has been playing with the crossbow for so long, and he has never used his strength on the bow!
…
…
The land of Bashu, the territory of Baguo, the ditch.
Nowadays, the Bameng Mountain here... Gathered Wei and Shu, two teams of 10,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Fei and Zhang He were stationed at the valley mouth, blocking the valley mouth, and the other was condescending, waiting for an opportunity to break through!
If you count the Shu army stationed in "Wakou Village" not far from Bameng Mountain, as well as the soldiers and horses of Xiahou Shang and Xiahou De stationed in "Dangkou Village", more than 40,000 soldiers and 30,000 people have gathered in the territory of Danqu!
It seems that this has become the eye of the storm in the entire Bashu region today!
Speaking of 30,000 people, it has to be mentioned that this place is inhabited by the Ba (cong two sounds) tribe, and their totem is a white tiger with a dot in the middle.
Such a totem has a lot to do...
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Zhaoxiang of Qin had a white tiger in the realm of Shu, Ba and Han, injuring more than 1,000 people, so King Zhao recruited those who could kill the white tiger in the country, rewarded 10,000 families, and rewarded 10,000 families.
The next notice is the Ba Yi people here, they can be the "crossbow" of the white bamboo, go upstairs and shoot the white tiger... Thus the whole clan was rewarded by King Qin Zhaoxiang.
Since then, this tribe has lived here for generations, and has given them no rent for land (no rent for less than one hectare of land), and ten wives are not counted (only one person is paid poll tax for marrying ten wives); A series of privileges such as the theory of the wounder (the person who injures can be exempted from punishment according to the situation), and the murderer can redeem his death with money (he can redeem his life with money if he kills someone).
As for the reason, it is to win over this tribe of the Ba Yi people.
What Zhang Fei and Zhang He are competing for is the Ba Yan tribe who are "good at bows and crossbows"!
Today, more than 20,000 Ba people have been temporarily resettled in this Bameng Mountain...
Zhang He blocked them and prevented them from escaping.
Zhang Fei blocked Zhang He and made the appearance that he wanted to trap Zhang He to death here!
The two sides were tense at the mouth of the Bameng Valley, and the whole situation was turbulent.
Today's Zhang He...
He stood on the edge of a cliff in front of the "Hooded Head" military fortress on Bameng Mountain, overlooking everything at the foot of the mountain.
The Qujiang River flows through Qu County, but it does not pass through in a single line, but forms a roundabout in the east of Qu County, like a Tai Chi.
Bameng Mountain is just in the center of the roundabout, surrounded by water, and the water is a mountain!
And due to the evaporation of water vapor, Bameng Mountain is cloudy and misty all year round, hazy, so it is faint, and Zhang He can only roughly see Zhang Feijun's general cloth!
The specific details still need to be sent back by scouts and probes...
"What the hell is going to do about this..."
In stark contrast to Zhang He's "quiet as a virgin", Han Hao on the side, he looked a little anxious, and he couldn't help but stomp his feet in frustration.
This is because during the five days that Zhang Fei blocked the mouth of the Bameng Valley, Zhang Heben relied on the flying pigeon to pass the book, and agreed with the two Xiahou generals in Dangkou Village to attack Zhang Fei's camp...
But who would have thought that Zhang Fei looked rough, but his camp was solid, with deep ditches and dense antlers.
He is the first to guard the main, and many places are a one-man affair...
Obviously, Cao's army was twice as large as the enemy, and he still attacked back and forth, but inexplicably he couldn't attack it, and this valley mouth was guarded by him like a rock, and in the end he could only retreat in disgrace.
This made the morale of the entire Zhang He army plummet...
"If I knew this, I shouldn't have waited for him Zhang Fei to attack Bameng Mountain, and when he raided Wakou Village, he should have been... It's better to go to support than to be trapped in this mountain now, he can't attack it, but we can't go down either... Eh... Eh..."
Han Hao stomped his feet again and again...
These words were in Zhang He's ears, and they were not a taste.
He was thinking, Zhang Fei... A brave and unscrupulous horseman, when he raided Wakou Village, he Zhang He didn't need to risk meeting his edge, and he fought steadily, this Zhang Fei would definitely leak his weaknesses.
Never thought that five days... However, after holding each other for five days, Zhang Fei showed only courage and strategy, which surprised Zhang He.
People say that he is good at attacking, but who would have thought that he would hold on to danger... The guards are so tight, where does the leakage of a loss of intellectual or lacking?
Zhang He is also drunk...
Could it be that he misjudged?
Zhang Fei is not a reckless man?
"Whew..."
Zhang He also let out a long breath helplessly.
But at this moment, a soldier came to report, "The scout found that the enemy's main general, Zhang Fei, was in front of the battle with his soldiers at noon today, kicking and bowing, and that Zhang Fei swayed as if he was drunk..."
Not...
Keju? Drunken?
When the word "Keju" came to Zhang He's ears, he didn't have too many surprises and surprises.
Keju... As early as the Warring States Period, it was a popular entertainment game among the people, and in the Han Dynasty, it had become a method of military training...
Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, also organized soldiers through Keju training to maintain their state and physical strength, the so-called "today the army has nothing to do, make Keju"!
Zhang Fei asked the soldiers to maintain their state through Keju, which was understandable.
Can... Drunken...
When the word "drunk" came to Zhang He's ears, he quickly noticed a different taste.
With his understanding, this Hei Zhang Fei often makes mistakes when he drinks.
Even, Zhang Fei was drunk and lost Xuzhou and Liu Bei's wife!
When he saw Liu Bei, Zhang Fei wanted to apologize for his crimes, but Liu Bei stopped him and said the famous words: "Brothers are like siblings, and wives are like clothes; If the clothes are torn, they can still be mended; If the hands and feet are broken, can An continue? ”
This sentence is very widely circulated in the community, and Zhang He is even clearer!
It's just that the cause and effect of "brothers are like siblings and wives are like clothes" is not precisely because of Zhang Fei's "drunkenness"?
"Hehe..." The corners of Zhang He's mouth immediately opened, changing the previous cloudy clouds, revealing a shallow smile.
He sighed: "Sure enough, Hei Zhang Fei is still the same Hei Zhang Fei, he still drinks... He still makes mistakes! ”
With a happy smile and a renewed confidence, Zhang He hurriedly instructed the soldiers, "Lead the way ahead, find a place where the clouds and mist are thin, and the general will see the drunken black Zhang Fei with his own eyes!" ”
It seems that Zhang He suddenly found Zhang Fei's weakness and found the key to breaking the game.
…
…
At the foot of Bameng Mountain, at the mouth of the valley, in front of the Shu army's military village, a juju competition is underway.
Keju is the original form of the earliest "football", which has been popular in China for more than 2,300 years, from the Warring States period of the capital of Qi Linzi originated from the sport, at the foot of the Bameng Mountain is in full swing at the moment.
Countless soldiers watched, and the Keju competition was very intense.
Speaking of which, in ancient times, there were sixteen people on one side, Zhang Fei was staggering, and he was also involved in it, and he served as the "ball head" position, which was responsible for "kick-off" and "shooting".
To be more precise... It is responsible for shooting the ball through the "Merry Eye"!
In Kemari competition, there is a high net, and there is a prototype hole in the net, called "Merry Eye", and if you shoot the ball into it, you will score... Call it "a chip"!
According to the rules, the left team kicks off first, and the ball is kicked by the "ball head"...
Pass to the "seeball", then pass the ball between the five positions according to the rules, the hand is not allowed to touch the ball, the ball is not allowed to land, and finally it is passed back to the "ball head", and the "ball head" shoots, that is, the ball is shot through the "merry eye", which is considered a point.
Because before each shot, it must be passed through the other five positions, and the opponent can also grab... Therefore, it is not easy for Zhang Fei to kick the ball as a "ball head".
At this moment, the ball on Zhang Fei's side was broken again.
Zhang Fei was furious, drunk, he yelled, "A bunch of fools, the ball can't be protected, your milk, get out..."
Zhang Fei's tone was full of unkindness.
Finally, I broke the ball back again, but this time... When it was passed to Zhang Fei again, there was another mistake.
Zhang Fei's shooting posture was all set, but he was lonely, but he let the opponent intercept it, and with a cooperation, he finally kicked the ball through the "Merry Eye".
With the sound of gongs and drums, the whole game ended, and Zhang Fei's side only lost by one goal.
Now Zhang Fei is gone...
"I'm so angry... I'm so angry, what kind of stuff do you kick, you don't even want to have a face! ”
Zhang Fei was furious, he broke out, because he was drunk, he picked up the soldier who had just made a mistake in passing the ball to him.
This soldier is also a strong man, but in the face of Zhang Fei, like an obedient quail, he was picked up by Zhang Fei without effort, "No fighting spirit, all ability, no shame, no bottom line... What is the kick? Both times were broken... Lao Tzu can't kill you! ”
Zhang Fei likes to whip soldiers when he is drunk...
This was very famous in the old military camps.
But this time...
Originally, the soldiers thought that this rumor was wrong, because Zhang Fei led them to raid Wakou, so much money, horses... They all generously gave the soldiers a share, and the soldiers still thought that Zhang Fei loved the soldiers like a son?
Who would have thought... After being drunk, General Zhang seems to have returned to his origins again, and he has become as fierce as ever!
Sure enough, Zhang Fei took the rattan whip, accompanied by the sound of "crackling", and whipped it on the soldier's body, three whips in a row, and the whip was blurred with flesh and blood...
At this time, more than a dozen people in the same team pleaded one after another, "General Zhang... Spare him! ”
"Grandma's, you still plead for him, do you think you're right?" Zhang Fei looked furious, "If you lose this Keju competition, there will be no innocent among you..."
That's right, when an avalanche happens, not a single snowflake is innocent!
Zhang Fei directly flicked the rattan whip, now... The city gate caught fire, affecting the pond fish, and these dozen people also suffered.
This time, it was the turn of the other side to request, but there were no exceptions, just let Zhang Fei whip more people...
Zhang Fei, who was drunk, was not reasonable at all.
"Lao Tzu sucked you to death, sucked you to death-"
Zhang Fei roared and whipped at the same time, roaring, whipping... The whole valley reverberates, and the aftermath lingers for a long time.
This scene was seen by Zhang He, who ventured down to visit in the Bameng Mountains...
Han Hao on the side looked at the unbelievable scene in front of the Shu army in astonishment, "This... It's too... It's incredible! ”
It seems that Han Hao feels that the scene in front of him is too weird...
It was so weird that he didn't believe it.
Who would have thought that a general would be in front of the battle, in front of the enemy and our army, so flogging his own soldiers, so ... Will the warriors obey him?
"Haha..."Zhang He laughed out loud, "If it were someone else, I would still be a little suspicious, but Zhang Fei, he has always been like this... His temper, as long as he drinks, he will definitely make mistakes, and as long as he drinks, he will definitely whip the soldiers, which is his biggest weakness! ”
Zhang He showed a little cunning gaze, as if suddenly, he felt that "breaking through", and even annihilating the enemy, did not seem to be a very difficult thing.
"Zhang Fei still floated, blocked a few attacks of our army, and felt that the camp was solid, so he despised us and others, and dared to drink so drunk in the barracks, this battle, he was doomed!"
Speaking of this, Zhang He's eyes were as sharp as a knife.
The scene in front of him confirmed his conjecture, Zhang Fei is still the rough man who has no courage and no strategy, such a rough man, he will definitely leak his biggest weakness, and then set himself on fire.
"What does the general mean? Let's unite with General Xiahou on the periphery and take advantage of the situation to attack again? ”
Han Hao asked.
"No!" Zhang He waved his hand, at this moment, Zhang He showed as always' 'ingenuity', or cunning, he stared at Zhang Fei's gate with blazing eyes:
"Continue to observe, and report the state of the enemy army to General Ben every day... How many people does he whip every day? When to get drunk? When to Keju? General Ben needs to know all this! ”
…
…
"Three generals..."
In the middle of the night, Wu Lan quietly entered Zhang Fei's camp.
Wu Lan heard about today's noon, and learned that Zhang Fei was drunk and whipped the soldiers... I came here.
You must know that since resisting the attacks of the Cao army several times and forcing the Cao army to retreat in embarrassment, there have been two or three days of peace, but Zhang Sanye is an idle master, and he can't help but drink as soon as he is peaceful.
There was no wine, so he ordered the soldiers to go to the nearby village to buy it, and go to the county seat to buy it... Coming and going, the whole military village was filled with the smell of alcohol.
Especially the camp where Zhang Fei is located.
This is a red flag.
Who doesn't know that this Zhang Sanye has a strange temper, especially when he is drunk, it is common to whip soldiers...
On the contrary, whatever you are worried about, Wu Lan was originally leading troops to patrol today, and when she returned to the camp, she saw a group of soldiers hanging their heads, as if, just one day, the morale of the entire three armies suddenly fell to the bottom!
After asking carefully, I found out that it turned out... It's Zhang Sanye whipping the soldier again.
Wu Lan realized that this was very dangerous, and he immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Jiangzhou, presenting it to Liu Bei and Fa Zheng...
Then he rushed to Zhang Fei's military village, but the strange thing is that Zhang Fei was not in the account...
There was a candle lit on the table, and under the candlelight was a thick book.
- "The three generals still read the art of war at night?"
Wu Lan felt incredible, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one in this big tent, so she leaned over to see what kind of art of war Zhang Fei was reading.
But at a glance, it is neither "The Art of War", "Wu Zi", nor "Liutao", "Wei Xuanzi", "Sima Law" and other mainstream art of war, if the content is... It seems to be a story.
Wu Lan couldn't help but open the book, but saw a few big words written on the cover:
- "The Biography of Zhang Fei"...
Among them, the content that is being opened is the twenty-fifth chapter - thick and fine, fake idiot, fake drunkenness, lure snakes out of the hole, and catch thieves in dreams!
This...
When Wu Lan saw this topic, she felt that it was so watery.
How can there be such a long chapter back to the topic.
You must know that the military books of the ancients were subject to the weight, preservation, and transportation of bamboo slips, and they paid attention to a high degree of condensation, not talking nonsense, not writing long essays, and not wasting resources... Therefore, the words of the endowment are often mainly four-character, and the military books and stories can often be saved...
But this "God of War: The Biography of Zhang Fei" just looks at the title... It's so long, it's destined to be flooded with gold!
However, considering that it is paper, it is actually okay and acceptable.
Wu Lan couldn't help but keep her eyes on the topic again, "Fake idiot, fake drunk, lure snakes out of the hole?" Catching a thief in a dream? ”
He chanted first, and this one...
In an instant, Wu Lan suddenly figured out something.
He repeated: "Pretending to be drunk, pretending to be stupid... Isn't this deliberately pretending to be stupid? Wait a minute... Three generals, three generals drunk and whipped soldiers during the day, is it... Is it intentional? ”
Just when Wu Lan thought of this...
The sound of "stampeding" footsteps suddenly came out in front of the door, and Wu Lan turned around, but was looking at Zhang Fei who had returned.
At this moment, his leopard eyes were round, and a pair of eyes were waiting for Wu Lan with bright eyes...
Wu Lan feels quite infiltrating...
But at this time.
Zhang Fei's roar resounded: "General Wu, you are so bold, you are the one who sent a messenger this afternoon to complain to my eldest brother, right?" ”
"What's the matter? Do you have itchy bones in your body? Want to get a hundred lashes? Coincidentally, my hands are itching too! ”
Hearing this, Wu Lan felt a kind of fright...
There is even a feeling that I am going to pee!
If it is written in the book, "Fake drunkenness, fake idiocy is not upset", then what is he Wu Lan? He is here to cooperate with Zhang Sanye's acting skills, is he here to fight?
At this moment, Wu Lan felt bitter!
…
