Chapter 13: The Goal of Longzhong

"Zhuge Wolong, who is that?"

Zhang Liao and Ah Da spoke almost at the same time.

Zhang Liao's ears moved, and he looked at Ah Da, who laughed, made a blessing, and took a few steps back.

"He is a local celebrity, and he is also the person Liu Xuande has always wanted."

Cao Wu didn't say much, because it was impossible for the current Zhang Liao to understand the weight of Zhuge Liang's three words in the later 1,800-year history.

Covering three points of the country, the name of the eight arrays, his strength is needless to say, and later generations have a couplet to summarize his life.

Collect Erchuan, line up eight formations, six out of seven captures, five zhang in front of the original, light forty-nine bright lights, one heart only for three cares.

Take the West Shu, set the south barbarian, the east and the north refuse, in the tent of the Chinese army, turn into gold, wood and earth to the gods, and the water surface can be attacked with fire.

But before being invited out of the mountain by Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang's name was only circulated among Nanyang celebrities, and was not out of the circle.

A few years ago, since Cao Cao took the northern part of Nanyang from Zhang Xiu, Cao Wu began to lay out here.

When everyone in Cao Cao's camp set their eyes on the north, Guandu, and Liaodong, the hand of the northern mansion had already reached to the south.

His disabled servants searched almost all the mountains near Nanyang, and finally found the hermits led by Sima Hui.

Cao Wu's vision is far beyond the Wei and Jin celebrities who love to talk, and he is a person who talks about serving the country on paper, no matter how famous he is, he only needs Zhuge Liang.

Out of the lesson of Dian Wei's death, he did not invite or arrest Zhuge Liang, but thought of a compromise solution.

He sent Ah Liu to Zhuge Liang and stabilized Zhuge Liang in Longzhong.

Zhuge Liang in history will meet the three thatched houses in the twelfth year of Jian'an, and will do his best all his life because of the grace of his understanding.

Now Zhuge Liang intends to continue to live in seclusion because Ah Liu has brought countless knowledge that he has never understood.

Thirteen years after Jian'an, it is still in Longzhong.

Liu Bei was defeated and took away Xinye, and even took away 100,000 people, but he didn't have time to take Zhuge Liang away in the mountains.

Cao has no reason to believe that Zhang Fei's nerve knife is completely capable of running back and kidnapping Zhuge Liang's reckless move.

Three hundred cavalry went out of Dabie Mountain and faced a million logistics troops, and only Zhang Fei was capable.

After some analysis, Zhang Liao was still puzzled: "This ...... Mr. Kong Ming, is it really worth Zhang Fei to take such a big risk?"

"Of course it's worth it, it's better to say that for Liu Xuande, Zhang Fei can die, and dying is just revenge. But Kong Ming can't do without, without Kong Ming, there will be no Liu Bei! ”

Zhang Liao nodded in shock, indicating that he understood.

However, after chasing after Zhang Fei yesterday, after leaving dozens of cavalry in Zhang Fei's army, he actually blocked the pursuers and let Zhang Fei run away with a hundred horsemen.

Zhang Liao was worried about this matter, and now after listening to Cao Wu's words, he immediately decided: "Then send three cavalry teams, each with 500 light cavalry, to patrol back and forth on the official road." At the same time, notify all military formations along the way to beware of sneak attacks. As for Zhang Fei...... According to the general's strategy, he set up an ambush in Longzhong! ”

……

In Yecheng, Cao Pi woke up on several cases.

Last night, he drank with a group of brothers until late at night, he rubbed the corners of his sore forehead, and saw that Chen Qun and Sima Yi were already waiting.

Sima Yi stood still, closing his eyes and resting.

Chen Qun sat on the side, carefully holding the pen and reading on the bamboo slips, and a pile of cases had accumulated around him.

Looking at Chen Qun's actions, Cao Pi was a little envious, when would he be able to handle these things himself?

"How?"

Seeing that Cao Pi was awake, Sima Yi was overjoyed at first, and then asked with a restrained emotion.

"Fortunately, I was not dishonored. Zhongda's plan is very good, among the brothers, I am afraid that only Zijian will be this one! ”

"Did he say the time?"

Cao Pi smiled: "It's today!" ”

Chen Qun didn't hear the words of the two, and was still reviewing the bamboo slips in his hand.

……

Jiangxia County, Xiakou City.

Liu Bei looked at the city wall solemnly, and the news that Cao Cao had recruited a million troops to go south spread far and wide, and the people in Xiakou City were panicked.

Guan Yu took the lead and beheaded a few merchants who bewitched the public, and the people in the city settled down a little.

But that's a million enemy troops, Liu Bei has been fighting horses all his life, and the number of armored soldiers under his command has not exceeded 50,000 at most, how can he stop his edge?

It's not that he didn't think about surrendering Cao Cao again, but Cao Cao is no longer the Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Cao Cao was emerging at that time, and Liu Yuzhou was needed, and now Cao Cao is in the north, and Liu Yuanjun is no longer needed.

There is also injustice in his chest, as soon as Liu Biao dies, Liu Zhang is weak, and he is already the last clan relative on this land who can carry the banner of the Han family.

He can't surrender, even if he dies in battle, even if he goes into exile.

He also has to fight to the death with the Cao thief.

Zhao Yun stood behind him and arched his hand: "Lord, there is still no news of Yide." ”

A few days ago, Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu, and Mi Fang were responsible for escorting the last wave of people to Xiakou, but until now, there has been no news from the people or the official army.

Zhang Fei is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, he has been missing for so long, which is a headache in itself, but Mi Zhu is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, Mrs. Mi cries every day, Liu Bei is very upset, casually agreed, and asked: "Did Zhongmou have a reply?" ”

"Back to my lord, there is no news from the messenger sent to Jingkou."

"What are the waves?"

Liu Bei's eyelids fluttered.

"It's the third wave, and every wave is in the sea."

Liu Bei sighed: "General Sun is not optimistic about us." Zilong, this time, can we still hold on? ”

Zhao Yun said: "The last general will fight with the lord, and the last general will never let the Cao thief enter Xiakou one day!" ”

Liu Bei nodded, thinking in his heart, if only he could invite Mr. Wolong to move. When he was in Xinye, he didn't stop looking at the thatched house, but unfortunately he went so many times, and Zhuge Liang didn't come out of the mountain.

He could only helplessly look at the surging river under the city wall.

Xiakou City is located at the junction of the Yangtze River and the Han River, where the two rivers converge, and the geographical location is extremely important.

To take Jingxi in the west and Yangzhou in the east, they must rely on the supply of Xiakou.

When Liu Bei fled here, there were only a few thousand soldiers and 90,000 people left.

Coupled with the army of Liu Qi, the eldest son who was sent by Liu Biao to guard Jiangxia, and Guan Yu's army of sailors, there were barely 30,000 people.

The river went east, and Xiakou mourned.

……

The soldiers sat on the hillside in twos and threes, mourning.

"Whew!"

Zhang Fei bit the wooden stick and let his subordinates use a knife to rip out the bullets in his abdomen, and cut them together with the rotten meat.

Zhang Fei was not afraid of pain, and played with this iron pill, his thick eyebrows furrowed.

As Cao Wu guessed, his target was Zhuge Liang in Longzhong.

But unlike Cao Wu's guess, he did not aim at Zhuge Liang from the beginning.

His mission was to protect the migration of 10,000 people, but he was met with pursuers, and he had no choice but to abandon the people and flee north.

He thought that he had mistaken the military order and had no face to return to Xiakou.

"They all say that a certain family is not thoughtful, and that such and such a family will kidnap a thoughtful person back!"

Zhang Fei, who had this kind of thought, did something that exceeded everyone's expectations on the entire front.

He ordered 300 cavalry to turn around, and returned to Xiangyang with his military divisions Mi Zhu and Mi Fang.

The target is Longzhong, and it is bound to take Zhuge Kongming, who is unable to take care of his brother three times, to Jiangxia!

Mi Fang didn't say it, Mi Zhu was also a ruthless person, and the matter had come to this point, so he simply took a risk, let Zhang Fei lead the cavalry to attract Cao Jun's attention, and he and his younger brother Mi Fang disguised themselves as ordinary people, and found a way to cross Xiangyang Avenue and arrive in Longzhong.

At this moment, Ermi was already in front of Zhuge Liang's thatched house, and had been waiting for a day, but Zhuge Liang refused to see them.

Mi Zhu knew the general situation, and he was not angry, but he was already in a hurry.

Mi Fang said: "Brother, it's really not good, let's follow what Yide said, burn down this hut with a fire, and see if he can't get out!" ”

Mi Zhu sighed: "Since ancient times, talented people have tempers, and I have also heard of Mr. Wolong, who is a handsome man who is not born in the world, and should not be taken lightly." ”

Mi Fang was so anxious that he turned around, pointed to the east and said: "Yide is still fighting outside, and I don't know how many of the three hundred soldiers can be left, but this person with the surname Zhuge still has to take a shelf!" How good is that! ”

Just then, a voice came from outside the door.

"I heard the name of Mr. Wolong in the next nine years, come and visit! Please sir come out and see you! ”

Hearing this voice, Ermi scoffed, they waited for a day, but they didn't see Zhuge Liang come out, you didn't even report your name, you just wanted Zhuge Liang to come out?

Are you kidding!

However, as soon as the man finished speaking, the door of Zhuge Liang's hut opened.

An eight-foot-tall and handsome man rushed out, undressed, and rushed to the door.

"What's going on?"

Ermi's jaw was about to drop in surprise.
