Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 843 The Meaning of Lottery
Seeing Yuan Tan's proposal to see the sky to decide their choice, Zhao Yun and Zhong Hui stopped arguing.

He also decided to follow what Yuan Tan said this time.

Looking at the bamboo sticks Yuan Tan had prepared, the two of them didn't know who should go first.

Seeing that the two were in a dilemma, Yuan Tan said, "Shi Ji, you should come first."

When Zhong Hui asked Yuan Tan to let him come first, he also said, "Thank you, my lord."

At this moment, Zhong Hui is also full of confidence. Since he entered Shu, his luck has been very good.

First, by chance, they crash-landed into Hanzhong City, and then easily attacked and captured Jianmen Pass.

It was also true that Zhong Hui felt that the God of Victory would help him succeed again regarding the matter of drawing lots to see fate.

Immediately, he stepped forward to pick one, but when he pulled it out, there was no ink at the end.

Zhong Hui immediately had a look of disappointment on his face.

Zhao Yun was a little happy when he saw it, and he couldn't hide his inner joy at the moment: "My lord, put it down, Zilong will definitely live up to expectations."

Now that the leader of the army has been decided, Yuan Tan can only say: "Since Shi Ji needs to lead troops to Badong County, let's go down and rest first, and I will give Zilong a few words."

Zhong Hui can only accept his fate now, it seems that his luck seems to be exhausted now.

Now that everything has been decided, Zhong Hui has no further objections.

So he withdrew from Yuan Tan's camp, leaving only Zhao Yun and Yuan Tan in it.

And he returned to his tent in despair.

After Zhao Yun saw that Zhong Hui had retreated, he hurriedly asked, "My lord, what else can I entrust to the last general?"

Seeing that Zhao Yun was so restrained, Yuan Tan smiled and said, "Okay, Zilong, you and Yunlu are married, and you and I are considered a family. Now there are no outsiders, so it's not formal."

Although Yuan Tan said so, Zhao Yun did not change anything, and immediately said: "My lord, I am in the army now, etiquette cannot be dismissed."

Yuan Tan originally wanted to persuade Zhao Yun a few more words, but seeing that Zhao Yun seemed to attach great importance to this, he couldn't open his mouth for a while.

Thinking that the ancients were all so pedantic, Yuan Tan also let it go.

Then he took out another bamboo stick in his hand.

Zhao Yun didn't know what this meant, but when he saw that there was no ink mark on the bamboo stick.

This time I was also a little confused.

"Lord, what do you mean?" Zhao Yun also wondered why Yuan Tan did this.

Yuan Tan smiled bitterly and said: "Well, it's really difficult for me to decide who will go to the dangerous place this time. You and Shi Ji are both people I value, and I really couldn't make a choice at the beginning."

"But after thinking about it, I also think Zilong would be better than Shi Ji if he went there. Although the two of you are similar in military strategy, in terms of martial arts, Zilong is better than Shi Ji." Therefore, Zilong will surely be able to break through when the crisis is really coming."

"But Shi Ji is not sure. I don't want to lose my talent because of it."

After listening to Yuan Tan's explanation, Zhao Yun also understood Yuan Tan's thoughts, and then asked: "Since this is the case, why didn't my lord explain it directly? Why bother?"

Yuan Tan said: "Before Shi Ji entered Shu, he suffered a lot of blows, and his young heart was not firm enough, and his confidence was obviously lacking. Although he won a few battles in the subsequent battles, he recovered I've been a little nervous, but I think the old wounds haven't healed yet, so if I explain it directly like this again, I'm worried about hurting him."

Only then did Zhao Yun understand that Yuan Tan made such a big detour because he wanted to protect Zhong Hui and did not want him to be hurt again.

Then he said to Yuan Tan: "My lord, Gao Yi, cares too much for us. The last general will thank the lord for General Zhong first."

Yuan Tan shook his head and said, "Oh, we are all brothers, why should we be like this. It's not easy for you to wait."

At this point, everyone is well aware of it and will not talk about it again.

Just let this matter rot in your stomach.

On the second day, the 60 troops were immediately divided into three groups and headed in different directions.

It will be implemented according to the plan.

However, the news quickly reached Zhuge Liang's ears in Chengdu.

After hearing that the barbarian army was defeated and Yuan Tan led the army to divide into three groups, he began to feel anxious.

After all, the current Shuzhong has just taken a breather and has not yet fully recovered. This stable situation is about to be broken.

This made Zhuge Liang feel a little disappointed with Meng Huo.

Did not expect it to lose so quickly.

Now they have no choice but to order that their own army begin to count their armaments, food and grass.

Then he also entered the palace, and asked Liu Chan to give the order to prepare to send troops.

And Liu Chan, who heard that there was going to be a war, was also very worried.

It was difficult to make a decision for a while, so he asked a little uneasy: "Father Xiang, I don't know if this expedition can win a big victory?"

Zhuge Liang also shook his head and said truthfully: "Things on this battlefield are always changing. Since ancient times, no one has been able to win every battle. Therefore, I can only tell your majesty that I must do my best for you, otherwise the Yuan army will continue to fight so smoothly." come over."

Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Liu Chan's face darkened and said, "Why do we have to fight? Why can't we live in peace?"

Zhuge Liang did not expect that Liu Chan would suddenly say such words, and he felt unable to deal with it for a moment.

Now Liu Chan had no choice but to follow Zhuge Liang's suggestion.

Allocating 50 troops to Zhuge Liang, he gave Zhuge Liang all the power.

Liu Chan's doing this is enough to show his trust in Zhuge Liang.

Immediately, Zhuge Liang was quite moved in his heart, so he withdrew.

Then, under Zhuge Liang's advance arrangement, the army was already ready.

Now that he has invited orders from the palace, he can now send out the army in a legitimate manner.

The army also set off from Chengdu in a hurry, and also hoped to rush to Zitong County as soon as possible.

I hope I can stop this menacing Yuan Tan in time.

After all, this Zitong County can be said to be the last barrier of Chengdu. If it is lost here, then Chengdu may be exposed directly under Yuan's nose.

Then everything is powerless.

But even if Zhuge Liang rushed to Zitong in such a hurry, it was a bit late.

Yuan Tan led his army to Zitong City before Zhuge Liang.

Yuan Tan used the magic weapon to break into the city within a day.

Zitong City also fell into the hands of Yuan Tan.

After Yuan Tan entered the city, he ordered the soldiers not to disturb the people and loot the city.

It was just to capture all the Shu army.

At the same time, Yuan Tan also received the movement of the Shu army, and it seemed that he was coming here for assistance.

Yuan Tan also quickly ordered his soldiers to repair the city defenses in order to deal with the Shu army.

After all, Zitong, which he had just captured, could not be handed over so easily.
