Chapter 167: Loyalty, Lordship, Justice
"Ma Tan'er is very despicable!!"
Zhuge Dan's face was very ugly, and he couldn't wait to pick up a knife to cut Ma Jian in person.
Just now because of the cerebral palsy of his lieutenant general, Xiangyang was easily conquered by the Shu army. Then Ma Tan sent people to kill people and slander him in public.
In this way, although His Majesty Cao Rui could not believe the slander of the other party, his political enemies might not be. It won't be long before someone in the court will talk about this matter and keep squeezing out his Zhuge birthday.
Sure enough, Ma Yan'er is despicable and shameless, and no one can compare with him in spreading rumors.
Zhuge was angry with his liver, but he was also helpless. He doesn't have many soldiers in his hands, and once he goes into battle, he will definitely be killed by Ma Yan.
didn't dare to fight, Zhuge Dan couldn't relieve his anger, so he could only endure it. However, after thinking about it for a while, Zhuge Dan still responded and quickly ordered.
"Pass the order, and in the future, hang a new sign next to the war-free card, engraved with "Shu envoys and dogs, no entry is allowed!" ””
Can't I hide if I can't be provoked? I won't let the envoys of Shu come in.
Zhuge Dan thought he was very smart, but soon Ma Tan taught him a lesson.
However, on the third day, Ma Jian personally appeared on the south bank of the Han River with his troops. Then he built a boat under the nose of the Wei army and began to cross the river with a swagger, without taking the Wei army in Jiangbei in the slightest.
Even Ma Tan, as the commander, personally led more than 100 cavalry to Jiangbei first, and was extremely arrogant to oversee the army near Fancheng.
For a while, all the generals under Zhuge Dan were furious, and they all asked for instructions to go out to kill this arrogant bastard. After all, since Guan Yu's death back then, when did their Great Wei experience this kind of bird qi.
But Zhuge Dan's steadiness told him that this was a trap and could not be careless. Especially since he has a friendship with Guo Huai, he clearly remembers what Guo Huai wrote in his previous letters.
Zhuge Liang of Xishu and Ma Tan all have the talents of gods and ghosts, and the use of soldiers is unpredictable and unpredictable. If you play against it, you can only hold it steady, and don't have the slightest idea of fighting.
Look at Guo Huai's evaluation, I can't wait to write "I'm afraid of him" on his face. You must know that when Guo Huai supervised the northwest before, it was all the attitude of bullishness and coaxing God first and me second.
So Zhuge Dan withstood huge pressure and forcibly suppressed the generals' invitation to fight.
"Give me all the rest back! No one can fight without my orders! Zhuge Dan snorted coldly, and waved his hand to the indignant generals.
"Ma Tan can rush into Xiangyang with a thousand people, how can you be sure that he can't rush into Fancheng with a hundred people? This place is the strategic fulcrum of the imperial court's Jingxiang defense line, and no one is allowed to be careless! ”
With Zhuge Dan speaking, the generals could only stay honestly.
However, although it suppressed the generals' invitation to fight, and although it prevented Ma Tan's envoy from entering the city, it did not mean that Ma Jian was not alive.
Soon Ma Tan found out that Zhuge was surprisingly good, so he quickly changed his strategy. Hundreds of cavalry were pulled out to follow him, and they reappeared outside Fancheng with a loudspeaker.
"I have always heard that Langya Zhuge is a minister of both loyalty and righteousness of the Han Dynasty. In the past, when Sili Captain Zhuge Feng was alive, he often taught his descendants to take the Han family as his own responsibility, which is the ancestral training of the Zhuge family! ”
"At the end of the Later Han Dynasty, the Han thief Cao Cao led troops to slaughter Xuzhou. The Langya Zhuge family hated it deeply, and moved south to avoid the Cao family. ”
"It was Lord Zhuge Dan who met with his uncle Zhuge Xuan before leaving and decided to stay. In response, he wept and said that he wanted to pretend to surrender to the thief with his family, in preparation for revenge in the future. ”
"It was autumn, and Surabaya flowed eastward, and Zhuge swore to Surabaya that he would not destroy Cao Thief and swear not to be ......."
Ma Tan rode around Fancheng leisurely, and began to preach on a loudspeaker.
The descriptions are all Langya Zhuge family are iron-clad Han courtiers, don't you see that our prime ministers have to do their best, and then die? Later, Zhuge Dan, a great talent who is also a member of the Zhuge family, was deduced to publicize his loyalty.
Of course, it is loyalty to the Great Han.
In his previous life, Ma Tan was famous for hitting the streets, and when it came to his ability to talk about his words, he didn't believe that there were people better than him in this era.
Well...... Except for Zhu Ran.
In short, as long as Ma Jian thinks that you are in Cao Ying's heart in Han, he has a thousand ways to prove that your heart is indeed in Han.
With Ma Tan's small essay broadcast, plus making up a finger to Surabaya to swear, Zhuge suddenly couldn't sit still.
When did Lao Tzu swear to Surabaya? Zhuge Xuan's family didn't notify me when they moved south!
"Shaft An dares to insult...... Slander me!! ”
Ma Tan's broadcast made Zhuge angry to shoot the case, and he couldn't wait to personally lift the three-foot sword blade to dismantle Ma Tan.
This is also difficult for Zhuge Birthday, Ma Jian didn't insult a word, every sentence shows that you are the most loyal Lord Zhuge Birthday. But the object of this loyalty was wrong, and the whole sentence changed in an instant.
But even so, after Zhuge Dan smashed the table in anger, he still didn't dare to go out of the city to face the battle. After all, so far it has only affected his career, and as long as His Majesty does not believe it, the impact is not great.
Once the battle is defeated, then it is not a slander, it is a real war report.
"Slander it, slander it, as long as you guard Fancheng and wait for reinforcements to arrive, everything will be over......" Zhuge Dan could only comfort himself like this, lamenting that he was unlucky to encounter such a disgusting thing.
This is more diaphragmatic than a toad bite, after all, you can kick a toad, you can't kick this yet.
At the same time, the Wei army, which was far away in Shouchun, also received the news of the inexplicable fall of Xiangyang. For a while, the entire Huainan Military Region panicked, and hurriedly rushed to this side for reinforcements.
At the beginning, Biqiu Jian proposed to go all out to defeat Wu with one premise, that is, the Shu army did not pose a threat to Jingxiang. Because Jiangling was in the hands of Eastern Wu, the Shu army did not dare to give up its flank to this Erwuzi and the whole army went north.
This also led to the Shu army going north on a small scale at most, and theoretically the Jingxiang line was as stable as Mount Tai.
But such a small probability event suddenly occurred, which completely messed up the strategic deployment of Cao Wei's side.
Originally, the Shouchun Wei army had already surrounded Wuchang and was confronting Sun Quan, the god of 100,000 troops, but suddenly received this news. For a while, there was a panic up and down, and the whole army hurriedly divided its troops to help Jingxiang.
As for the entire Nanyang defense line, a large number of rear garrisons began to assemble in the Fancheng area, preparing to converge the army to recapture Xiangyang.
In general, the entire Cao Wei was very anxious at this time.
Just when Zhuge Dan covered his ears and pretended to be dead, and Wei Jun's attention was all looking at Xiangyang, Ma Tan began his next plan.
Although it was very unexpected to miraculously take Xiangyang, Ma Jian still did not forget his true purpose.
That is to take Zhuyang to respond to Zhao Yun's main force, and besiege Xincheng County on both sides.
