The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 120 Zhang Fei Visits
When Zhang Fei heard this, he said happily: "Mr. Zhuge has come up with a good idea this time. I don't need my elder brother to go. When Zhang Wu comes back, I will go to him in person. I don't believe it. Would he be willing to help him fight? "

Liu Bei was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhuge Liang: "My lord, I think it would be good to let Yide go to Zhang Wu in private. They have a good relationship in private!"

Zhuge Liang wanted Zhang Fei to test it out first. Anyway, Zhang Fei is a rough person, so what kind of mind could he have?Generals, if they haven't fought for a long time, they will definitely feel anxious and uncomfortable, especially Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others who have fought against Cao Cao all their lives. When they hear that Cao Jun is coming to invade, it is strange to want to fight Cao Cao.

After Zhang Wu rushed back to Xiangyang from Rangcheng, he first went back to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to take a good bath, and then called a few concubines to wait on him. He fought for days and hadn't relaxed for a long time.

Then Zhang Wu summoned relevant personnel to deploy, and transferred a total of 5000 people from the supply battalion and engineering battalion to Rangcheng to build catapults. As long as it can be delayed for 20 days, a defense system can be built, which is enough to withstand Xiahou Dun's [-] troops.Moreover, Cao's army has been fighting for years, and just after the war against Yuan's, the soldiers have not yet recuperated, and the incorporated Yuan's army has not yet been integrated, at least until next year before large-scale use of troops.

The reason why Zhang Wu wanted to take down Rangcheng at the risk of being attacked was because he had an opportunity to take advantage of the emptiness of Nanyang troops; the other reason was that he wanted to use Rangcheng to weaken Cao Cao's troops.

Now if Cao Cao wants to occupy Jingzhou, there are two places that he must take in the early stage, one is Rangcheng and the other is Fancheng.Zhang Wu was planning to take advantage of the defensive battles in these two places to consume a large number of Cao Jun's soldiers, so that Cao Cao knew that it was impossible to win Jingzhou quickly, and then he had to retreat.As long as you survive this wave of big team battles, you can buy time to develop slowly.

Rangcheng, Wancheng, and Xinye just form a triangle. In fact, Xinye can also play a role in preventing Cao Cao, but the surrounding area of ​​Xinye is too open, and Cao Jun can attack the city from all sides, so it is not easy to defend.In the original book, Liu Bei's two attacks against Cao Jun in Xinye were both proactive attacks. The first time Xu Shu planned to defeat Cao Ren halfway and attacked Fancheng; Set the fire and burn Xiahou Dun away.

But after Xiahoudun left, Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei that Cao Cao would definitely lead an army to come. Xinye County is too small for us to defend. Why don't we take Jingzhou down while Liu Biao is seriously ill, but Liu Bei disagrees.Sure enough, Cao Cao led an army to beat Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to let Liu Bei give up Xinye and run to Fancheng.

Although Rang City is a bit far from Xiangyang, its terrain is conducive to defense. Outside the north city is the Tuan River, which can be used as a moat. To the west is the Danjiang Reservoir and mountainous areas, which is not conducive to the deployment of the army. Protect the west side of Rang City above the Han River.So just defend the east and south.

In Zhang Wu's plan, if Rangcheng could not be defended, he would simply give up and then stick to Fancheng, and Fancheng's back to the Han River was more conducive to defense, because Cao Cao had no navy.

In the end, if it really didn't work, Zhang Wu still planned to give up Fancheng and stick to Xiangyang. He didn't believe that Cao Jun could swim into the water and attack the city.

Cao Cao's current total strength is at most 35. In the original book, he wrote to Sun Quan that he had brought 80 troops here. This was pure bragging, and he wanted to scare Sun Quan, because after years of fighting, the total population of the place Cao Cao occupied was only more than 300. Ten thousand, remove the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled and women, how can there be so many people serving as soldiers.

It is impossible to bring all the 35 troops, and some must be separated to guard against Ma Teng and Sun Quan, so the maximum is 25. If Prime Minister Cao loses tens of thousands of people in Rangcheng, and then loses tens of thousands in Fancheng, still Do you have the courage to put all your bets on attacking Xiangyang?The Southern Song Dynasty resisted the Yuan army in Xiangyang for six years. Zhang Wu felt that it would be no problem for him to resist for three years. Would Cao Cao be willing to wait?Will Ma Teng in the north and Sun Quan in Jiangdong always watch the show?

Zhang Wu is listening to Ma Liang, Xiang Lang and others report about his big wedding to him in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. After a period of preparation, the procedures that should be followed have almost gone through. Now it is time to set the date of the final big wedding. Zhang Wu After thinking about it, Wu chose an auspicious day ten days later.

Calculating the time, the envoy sent by Xu Du to negotiate should be here soon, and at that time, he can use his wedding to delay for a few more days to buy time for the defense of Rangcheng.

At this time, the servants reported that Zhang Fei asked to see him, Zhang Wu was a little puzzled, what is this guy doing here, did he hear that he was back, and asked him to drink and eat while he was there?

Zhang Wu got up to greet him, only to see Zhang Fei walking up and down the door, obviously looking for Zhang Wu on something.

"What is General Yide looking for me for? Please come in quickly, let's talk in the hall."

Although Zhang Fei is not as stupid as he looks on the surface, he is quite real, especially if he can match his temper.Seeing Zhang Wu coming out to greet him, Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Dudu Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

The two parties came to the living room while being polite, and after the guests and hosts sat down, Zhang Wu asked: "General Yide, did he run out of wine and came to me for a drink?" The "General's Wine" from Zhang Wu now lives in Xiangyang. There is no battle, and Liu Bei no longer cares about him. Zhang Wu often gives him some wine.

"Well, there is still wine, but I'm not here to ask you for a drink. I have other things to do!"

"General Yide, it's okay to say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

Zhang Fei slapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay! I knew you were a cheerful person, and you deserved to be the one who can catch Cao Ren! I also knew that Cao Ren was not easy to deal with. I didn't expect you to capture him alive. The first two days God, I saw him, with a sloppy face, but I couldn't say how happy I was!"

Zhang Wu didn't know what Zhang Fei wanted to express by mentioning Cao Ren, so he said, "It's just a fluke, Cao Ren is also a famous general, but he committed a big taboo of underestimating the enemy, so I was caught by chance. Does Yide have a deep hatred for Cao Ren?" ?”

But Zhang Fei said: "In other words, Cao Ren and I don't have any deep hatred, just mutual hostility. But I heard that Xiahou Dun led an army of [-] troops to station in Wancheng, intending to invade Jingzhou. I have already looked at that one eye It's not pleasing to the eye, how about I beat him up for you? Don't worry, he will run away in fright when he sees me!"

It turned out that this is the case, Zhang Wu understood as soon as he heard this, it must not be that simple, maybe there is Zhuge Liang's temptation in it.Because Zhang Wu knows Zhuge Liang's thoughts too well, he must still be obsessed with plotting Jingzhou, because Jingzhou is the basis of all his plans. With Jingzhou, he will have the capital to display his skills, but without Jingzhou, he will have great potential There is nowhere to display the ability.

Not long ago, Zhuge Liang fooled Liu Bei to go to Yizhou because he saw that Jingzhou was already in Zhang Wu's hands, and Zhang Wu used his means to gain the support of several big families in Jingzhou. He had no hope of helping Liu Bei snatch Jingzhou from Zhang Wu.But now that Zhuge Liang saw Cao Cao coming to attack, he felt that there was another chance, so he wanted to take the opportunity to let Zhang Fei and others join the army on the grounds of helping resist Cao Cao.
