Chapter 347: Stupid Decision
Knock knock knock -
The city gate of Hanzhong was quickly breached under the hard impact of the Yizhou army's ram. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, the reason why the Yizhou army was able to break through the city gate so easily was also related to the fact that there were no defenders in the city.
Seeing the opening of the gate of Hanzhong City, a trace of joy suddenly appeared on Taishan's face, and now the Yan army of Yuan Qi was blocked by Zhang Wu on the periphery, this is a God-given opportunity for him to seize Hanzhong, he did not have any hesitation, and immediately roared in a straight voice: "Enter the city! Enter the city quickly!"
Nearly 100,000 Yizhou troops began to pour into Hanzhong City in batches under the shouts of Mount Tai, and some of the sergeants at the back of the ranks, under the command of generals at all levels, arranged a defensive formation at the gate of the city to prevent the Yan army from intervening sideways.
Seeing Taishan leading the army into Hanzhong City, Yuan Qi was in a hurry, just about to turn around and call his subordinates to cross Zhang Wu and go to stop Mount Tai, who expected that a Zhangba snake spear was the first to be raised, stopped in front of Yuan Qi, no need to ask, the spear bearer must be Zhang Wu. After Zhang Wu stopped Yuan Qi, he said: "Brother Yuan Qi, to be honest, I am very embarrassed, I don't want to use knives and guns against you, but I can't disobey my eldest brother's military orders." Simply, you and I have a heads-up, if you can beat me, my old Zhang will no longer interfere in the affairs between you and my eldest brother, and it can be regarded as an explanation for both of you. ”
Yuan Qi knows that now is the best time to seize Hanzhong, but he does not want to lose Zhang Wu's friend, if he does not agree, after this battle, Taishan will definitely embarrass Zhang Wu, if it is replaced by someone else, such as Guan Wei, Yuan Qi does not mind making Taishan embarrassed, that may also make Taishan and Guan Wei have some unhappiness, laying the groundwork for poaching Guan Wei, but Zhang Wu has a straightforward personality, if Yuan Qi refuses to fight with him. will make Zhang Wu feel that Yuan Qi looks down on him, so, between the all-out battle situation and private feelings, this time, Yuan Qi resolutely chose the latter, he didn't want Zhang Wu to be embarrassed, even if the final price was that Yuan Qi would lose the initiative in the fight for Hanzhong. As the saying goes, a thousand armies are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, and Hanzhong can be recaptured in the future, but if Zhang Wu's recognition is lost, it will never be able to be taken back. I have to say that Yuan Qi's idea is extremely stupid, but sometimes the affection is not rational and can be said clearly, although Yuan Qi is no longer as lacking in generals as he was at the beginning, but he has long wanted to dig into other people's corners, which contributed to today's decision.
"Okay! Today, you and my brother will have a good fight! Zhang Wu doesn't have to keep his hand, he can just let it go!" Yuan Qi just thought about it for a while, and then readily agreed to Zhang Wu's appointment.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong heard Yuan Qi's answer, and their hearts were very anxious, if Hanzhong fell into the hands of Mount Tai and wanted to take it back, I am afraid that they would have to pay three times more soldiers, horses, grain and grass than today to do it, which is definitely not in the interests of Yan and the imperial court. The two of them took a few steps forward at the same time. Loudly advised Yuan Qi and said: "The lord can't agree, if you don't take Hanzhong today, our army will definitely pay more sacrifices and costs in the future!"
Yuan Qi smiled freely, and said without looking back: "The two prime ministers don't need to persuade anymore. The king's mind is decided. "Yuan Qi is commensurate with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong as official positions, and at the same time he claims to be the king, and his resolute attitude is already very obvious, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong know that it is impossible for Yuan Qi to change his mind. They glanced at each other, sighed, and then retreated to the army. They are afraid of it. Since Taishan sent Zhang Wu to resist the Yan army, they have been worried that Yuan Qi will suspend the army's march because of his friendship with Zhang Wu, and the importance of brotherhood may be Yuan Qi's only weakness. Obviously, Taishan also touched Yuan Qi's life, and did not hesitate to let his brother stand up and contain Yuan Qi with brotherly affection.
As if he had seen a ghost, Zhang Wu stared at Pang Tong who was retreating with wide eyes, and shouted loudly: "Military Master, you are not dead, why are you following Brother Yuan Qi?"
Pang Tong stopped, looked at Zhang Wu indifferently, now he can calmly face the bleakness of being betrayed by the old lord, and replied to Zhang Wu's words in a tone without sadness or joy: "Tong is not dead, not died under the calculation of Mount Tai, since the day he followed Mount Tai, Tong has tried his best to help him take half of Jingzhou, and offered plans to help him seize Yizhou, but how did he treat Tong? Since he can use Tong as a bait for a bitter trick, then why should Tong still follow him by the side of a person like him? General Zhang, Tong is now the vice minister of Yan State, and Tong no longer wants to mention the past. ”
Pang Tong's words made Zhang Wu feel extremely shocked. When Taishan and Pang Tong divided their troops, Zhang Wu was also present, but with his thick nerves, how could he notice Taishan's small movements in secret? Now combined with Pang Tong's words, it seems that the eldest brother abandoned Pang Tong in order to seize the city, but how is this possible? The eldest brother is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, how could he do such a thing? But if Pang Tong is talking nonsense, Zhang Wu can't believe it. Although the time spent together is only two years, but Zhang Wu admires Pang Tong very much, it can be said that if there is no Pang Tong, there will be no three brothers today, people like Pang Tong, if there is no unexpected change, how can he abandon Mount Tai and turn to the command of Yuan Qi?
Yuan Qi looked at Zhang Wu's expression of struggle in confusion, knowing that he was at war with heaven and man in his heart at the moment, bearing great pain, all along, Zhang Wu has regarded Mount Tai as the most amiable and respectable brother, in Zhang Wu's eyes, Mount Tai is a big hero who stands up to the sky, everything he does is to look up to the sky, look down on the earth, but now, the image of Mount Tai collapsed instantly, and the pain in Zhang Wu's heart can be imagined.
Yuan Qi didn't know how to comfort Zhang Wu, so he had to use this heads-up initiated by Zhang Wu to temporarily distract him.
Zhang Wu was attracted by Yuan Qi's words, and asked a little dejectedly: "What the military advisor said, is it true?" Yuan Qi shook his head slightly and said: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, those are all things in the past, if you want to ask clearly, go ask Taishan after the war." Now, what you have to do is to forget about everything else and concentrate on a certain battle! Distract yourself on the battlefield, this shouldn't be what you Zhang Zhangwu did!"
Zhang Wu was stunned when he heard this, he knew that Yuan Qi's friendship with himself, and Taishan had no difference from himself, it was a very firm brotherhood, all the time, Yuan Qi took care of himself, so that Zhang Wu was very grateful in his heart, if he met Yuan Qi first, maybe now he is now one of the five tiger generals under Yuan Qi's command, far from it, just say that today's situation, 10,000 elite cavalry under his command, eighty percent of them defected to Yuan Qi's side, Meng Da and others brought the Yizhou army, there are only 40,000 people, and Yuan Qi's Yan army originally had 100,000 people, plus the cavalry and Zhu Huan's subordinates, there are 120,000 troops, If Yuan Qi doesn't miss the old feelings, or if he is more utilitarian, there is no need to promise himself this heads-up, just let the army crush him, with Zhang Wu's strength, it is impossible to stop the Yan army for too long. But Yuan Qi didn't do that, and agreed to his appointment without hesitation, you know, the bet of this appointment is the entire Dongchuan region!
"Thank you, I owe you another favor. Zhang Wu put away his messy thoughts, shifted his attention to the upcoming showdown with Yuan Qi, and said to Yuan Qi seriously. Although Zhang Wu was reckless, he was not unsophisticated, and how could he not understand this friendship of Yuan Qi? Yuan Qi is not only a person very close to Zhang Wu, but also a respectable opponent, only by going all out can he be worthy of Yuan Qi's friendship and an opponent like Yuan Qi.
The next moment, the Zhangba snake spear churned up in Zhang Wu's hand, with a two-foot-long spear tip, as if it had come to life, like a snake letter with a poisonous tongue, revealing several afterimages, shrouding Xiang Yuanqi's vital body. There was a time when Yuan Qi had to learn martial arts with Guan Wei and Zhang Wu every day, but at that time, Yuan Qi was still young, his martial arts had not yet reached the realm of transformation, and his physical functions were still in the development stage, so he did not have such a strong physical quality as today, so during that time period, the competition between the three of them was all point-to-point. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and although they have met many times during this period, they have not been given the opportunity to compete again due to various reasons. He hadn't fought for ten years, but Zhang Wu was sure that Yuan Qi's martial arts must have reached the top, so as soon as he made a move, he also wanted to test Yuan Qi's entry over the years to see which realm Yuan Qi had entered.
Facing the spear shadow stirred by Zhang Wu, Yuan Qi smiled slightly, and the mixed yuan halberd in his hand was like an arm and finger, and he poked lightly into the heavy spear shadow, without exerting force at all, but using the weight of the mixed yuan halberd itself, using the clumsy and soft technique of overcoming rigidity, and won the essence of the heavy sword without a blade and a great skill.
At this point in Yuan Qi, the shadow of the halberd stirred up by Zhang Wu was like a balloon that had been punctured, and it dissipated into invisibility in an instant. With just one move, Yuan Qi let Zhang Wu see the profundity of the Formation Breaking Mixed Yuan Halberd Method. "Huh, how did you know the flaw in my move?" Zhang Wu couldn't help but ask loudly.
Yuan Qi stabbed Zhang Wu's left shoulder with a halberd like lightning, and said loudly: "The principle of heaven and earth and all things, there must be a right, naturally, there is no arrangement, one yin and one yang, and the yin is long, and the yang disappears!"
Zhang Wu waved his spear to block Yuan Qi's stabbing halberd, and his tone was mixed with a hint of envy and a hint of admiration: "So, you have already penetrated the realm of winning without a move?"
Yuan Qi took advantage of the gap between the wrong horse and replied to Zhang Wu lightly: "Don't you know if you try again?" The tone in which Yuan Qi said this sentence did not seem to be on the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, but more like a discussion with a mentor and friend, which made Zhang Wu's heart more tranquil.
