Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

"But Ziyu told him..." Liu Bei was very hesitant.

"How did my lord think the emperor's rumors came about? It was Ziyu who sent people to Xudu to spread the rumors. He should have expected that there would be a day when he would become the king, so he used the emperor's mouth to help you build momentum in advance, and then use it later. The Yangtze River News, Shu News, and Lingnan News convey public opinion, and the lord's promotion to the throne has become popular." Zhuge Liang analyzed.

Pang Tong echoed: "What a Mr. Xuanxiao, he thinks ahead of everything, no wonder he can do everything with ease."

Liu Bei frowned and said to himself: "Ziyu thinks the time is ripe now? Could it be that he can really count?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, "It's not that Ziyu can pinch and count, it should be that he has advanced inference ability. My lord has settled General Pang to Jiaozhou before, so Ziyu should have understood your difficulties. General Zuo's mansion can't accommodate those arrogant soldiers." ambition, Wu Ziyuan (Wu Yi) represents not himself."

Liu Bei's head was in a mess now, and he asked solemnly: "Will Wudu take this move or not? Please discuss with several military advisers and come up with an idea, otherwise we will wait for the food and grass to be ready before going north."

"That area is populated by Qiang and Hu Di people. Even if they can successfully pass through, they will lose their supply lines. If General Wu is not sure of victory, Liang does not recommend this risky move." Zhuge Liang said firmly.

Liu Bei explained: "Ziyuan has a trilogy called Leitong, which is from the Lei clan of the Di clan over there. General Lei is confident that more than ten thousand members of the Tonglei clan will surrender, so the supply of soldiers and food may be guaranteed. "

Pang Tong nodded affirmatively, "If there are generals from the Di tribe leading the way, the surprise soldiers along the way may not be useless. Just in time for the autumn harvest in Zitong County, the lord sent a division to take a detour through the mountains and take a detour to Wudu. After the food and grass are ready, the lord will send the troops northward, and then go two ways. A pincer will win a big victory."

"General Wu can't take on this important task without a big battle. My lord should choose a stable general as the main general." Fazheng quickly reminded him that he knew that Wu Yi was coerced by his subordinates, and he had no other way to force himself to earn military merits, but commanding battles is child's play. no.

Liu Bei nodded and said: "I want to take Yide as the main general, Ziyuan (Wu Yi) as the deputy general, and lead [-] troops to attack Wudu from the small road. However, although Yide is brave, his temperament is like a fire, and he needs someone to persuade him. Worry, originally Gongheng (Huang Quan) was the best candidate, but he needs to stay in the important area of ​​Langzhong..."

"My lord, I would like to go with Yide." Pang Tong volunteered.

Chapter 468 I'm Not Here

"It is said that this trail is very steep and full of thorns, how can Bei make the military division tired with the army?" Liu Bei shook his head hastily.

"My lord is too cautious. When we entered Shu, we were not allowed to go to the front line. What are you worried about?" Pang Tong asked puzzled.

Liu Bei explained: "A military adviser is a strategist who does not need to be on the front line to take risks. This is what Lan Ziyu told me when he entered Sichuan, and he must protect you. People say, 'Snakes can't do without a head, and birds can't fly without wings' , I naturally have to be careful and cherish it."

"My lord, this..." Pang Tong was very moved after hearing this.

Zhuge Liang hastily added: "My lord is not unreasonable. The main force in central Shu will send troops at the beginning of next year at the latest. Shi Yuan and Xiao Zhi will also be with the army as staff officers. My lord should also have some confidence in Yide. Judging from several times of leading troops independently Come on, the three generals are quite capable of scheming, and they may not be able to stand on their own. It is rumored that Sun Quan once jokingly called Wuxia Ameng, and now Lu Meng is the governor of Jiangdong, and Yide is not the general who lost the city in Xuzhou..."

"The words of the military adviser are also..." Liu Bei was quite emotional. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had sworn in Taoyuan at the beginning, had grown into pillars of the sky, and they could no longer be regarded in the past.

Zhuge Liang: "Just in case, Liang suggested that this division should add another lieutenant general."

"Who is the military advisor recommending? Zilong or Hansheng? And we have to keep a few generals to go with the main force." Liu Bei guessed.

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and smiled: "Jingzhou's soldiers and horses are now in full swing. I don't think there will be any wars in a short time. It's better to transfer Ma Mengqi back to Yizhou and follow Yide to steal a path to attack Wudu."

"Is this... appropriate?"

Liu Bei seemed very hesitant. After all, Ma Chao was once a vassal, and his position in the army was higher than that of Guan Yu. If he was transferred to Shuzhong to fight with Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei, who was the general in the end, would be more difficult to deal with.

Zhuge Liang explained: "There is no need to rest assured that Yide will lead the army. General Ma has a high prestige among the Qiangdi people. This division will increase its chances of winning if he is with the army."

Liu Bei shook his head again and again, "The military commander doesn't know something. Yide heard that Meng Qi (Ma Chao) was brave and asked him to compete in martial arts many times. Otherwise, how could I transfer them to the two places? If Ziyu hadn't been in the middle to mediate , the second younger brother may also compete with him."

"Since General Ma has Ziyu's advice, I think he will obey orders." Zhuge Liang pondered.

Liu Bei looked distressed: "Yide is just a general who conquers prisoners, and Meng Qi is already a general of Pingxi. Can a low-ranking commander and a high-ranking commander be able to convince the masses?"

"Whether you can convince the public depends on the military power given by the lord, which has nothing to do with the specific official position. Besides, can you still trust Yide's martial arts?" Zhuge Liang asked back.

"I agree with what Kong Ming said. Ma Mengqi's name is worth tens of thousands of soldiers. Has my lord forgotten how Liu Jiyu surrendered?" Pang Tong nodded in agreement.

Liu Bei frowned, "Since the two military advisers have the same opinion, I will immediately write to Yun Chang and ask him to transfer Ma Mengqi's troops from Linju Headquarters into Sichuan, order Yide to lead [-] troops out of Langzhong, and Ziyuan (Wu Yi) led an army of [-] out of Chengdu, and the three armies met at Baishuiguan before November."

Zhuge Liang affirmed: "At that time, I will accompany the Lord to see him off, and check the situation of Deng Shizai's grain storage by the way."

"Just follow the military division." Liu Bei nodded.

The three generals, Wu Yi, have the least actual combat experience and the weakest reputation. In order for her elder brother to be able to retreat unscathed, Mrs. Wu did not hesitate to listen to Liu Bei.

In order to take care of this uncle, Liu Bei not only allocated [-] elite soldiers to him, but also asked him to choose two generals to join the army.

The generals in Yizhou have uneven abilities and are generally weak. Yan Yan, who is slightly outstanding, is under Zhang Fei's tent in Langzhong, and General Li Yan of Xingye is currently serving as the prefect. Wu Yi can only choose tall ones from among the dwarfs, except for general Lei from the Di tribe. For copper, only Wu Lan, a general of the same family with relatively outstanding martial arts skills, was selected.

At the beginning of November, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang brought wine and meat to Baishuiguan to work in the army.

There are a total of 5000 people in the three teams, which have been assembled more than ten days ago. Among them, because Langzhong is the closest and the earliest, Ma Chao, who came from Jingzhou the farthest, arrived second. Arrived late.

After Liu Bei arrives, the general plans to appoint a commander. Before Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Wu Yi set up their accounts, Zhuge Liang hurriedly winks at Liu Bei when he sees that everyone has arrived.

Liu Bei nodded knowingly: "This sneak attack on Wudu aims to attract Cao Jun from Hanzhong, and cooperate with the main force of Yizhou to capture Hanzhong next year. I will ask the military division to assign tasks to everyone."

Zhuge Liang looked around the crowd and said: "This time we are going to enter Wudu from the Qiangdi Trail, because the road along the way is remote and dangerous, and there is no food road, so there will be no logistical supplies for this battle. You must be self-sufficient to fight and support the war. Do your best to buy time for the lord to seize Hanzhong, if you can't resist, go back the same way, do you understand?"

"Wei." Zhang Fei and others responded loudly.

"The next step is to choose a general and two deputy generals. My lord means that the general will be determined by fighting with generals. What do you three think?" Zhuge Liang asked meaningfully.

Liu Bei was dumbfounded when he heard that, what did Zhuge Liang want to do?If there is any damage before the battle, wouldn't it be a disadvantage for the team?But now that the order has been issued, Liu Bei can't change it himself, so he can only frown and look at the three of them.

"I've long felt that it's cold in Baishuiguan, so I'll warm up my body by doing this trick. Do you dare?" Zhang Fei became very excited.

"I can't ask for it." Ma Chao said succinctly.

"Uh...my lord, military advisor, the last general knows he is invincible, so he is willing to be the deputy general." Wu Yi blushed and clasped his fists.

Liu Bei nodded quickly, "That's fine, the main general will be born between Yi De and Meng Qi."

Zhang Fei and Ma Chao went back to the camp to prepare for the battle, but Liu Bei asked a little reproachfully, "Why did the military commander arrange this? Both of them are the pillars of the pillars. No matter who is injured, Bei can't feel at ease..."

Zhuge Liang walked slowly to Liu Bei's side. He held Liu Bei's hand with both hands and comforted him: "Don't worry, my lord, the two generals will definitely stop."

"Swords and guns have no eyes, how can we count them all..." Liu Bei shook his head.

Zhuge Liang continued to explain: "Both Yide and Meng Qi are enemies of ten thousand people. If there is an unfair competition, even if the lord directly appoints the lord and deputy generals, they will definitely be dissatisfied with each other, and Yun Chang, Zilong and others will also be dissatisfied. There is no way to understand Meng Qi's strength, only a match can tell the difference.

In addition, since Yizhou was established by the Lord, only Yide has been fighting abroad for a long time. He has never cooperated with Meng Qi and Ziyuan. , It can also unite the morale of the officers and soldiers of the three armed forces. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone. "

"Is there really nothing wrong?" Liu Bei frowned.

"My lord, you can watch the battle with peace of mind, what does General Ziyuan think?" Zhuge Liang nodded to Wu Yi.

Wu Yi was very depressed at this time. He felt that he should stay at home instead of appearing in the big tent, and he should have left with Zhang Fei and Ma Chao just now. The conversation between Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei did not avoid him at all, probably because he wanted to Allow yourself to recognize the gap.

Chapter 469 The battle between the main and deputy generals

"Army...Army is right..." Wu Yi cupped his fists.

Liu Bei waved his hand lightly: "Ziyuan, you also go to get ready, and call all the generals in your battalion to help in the battle, so that everyone can get to know each other."

"Wei." Wu Yi replied sonorously.

Seeing Wu Yi leaving like the wind, Liu Bei pointed at Zhuge Liang and complained: "The military master wants to compare Yide and Meng Qi, why should he embarrass Ziyuan?"

"The lord just ordered Yizhou, and the rewards were all the officers and soldiers who entered Sichuan. The generals in Shuzhong are still holding back their grievances. Although these people are also eager to make contributions, they are far inferior to Yide and Mengqi. My lord is now If you don’t give a good warning, it will be even more difficult for you in the future, this is called driving the tiger to frighten the wolf.” Zhuge Liang explained.

Liu Bei smiled wryly: "What a frightening tiger..."

The two walked to the tower of Baishuiguan while talking and laughing. Zhang Fei and Ma Chao sat on horseback holding weapons in front of the city gate. Thousands of soldiers formed a big circle around them.

Zhang Fei, with leopard head and ring eyes, is over fifty years old, but he is still majestic and arrogant, holding a spear and standing upright like a black evil Shura. Lu Bu's momentum.

Boom, boom, drums were beating on both sides to cheer.

Two figures, one black and one white, collided like meteors. Liu Bei on the tower did not dare to blink his eyes. Although Zhang Fei was brave, he had already passed his prime, and Ma Chao was now at his peak.

The so-called boxing is afraid of the young and the stick is afraid of the old man. Liu Bei is very worried about Zhang Fei's mistakes, but he doesn't want to move the leader, because Zhang Fei's temper can't be controlled by Ma Chao, and there are very few people in the entire camp who can make him obey.

"My lord, don't worry, Yide's momentum is still very strong." Zhuge Liang pointed down and said.

Liu Bei said worriedly: "Jin Machao is comparable to Lu Bu. I can't feel at ease whoever is injured in this battle..."

Zhuge Liang said with a leisurely smile: "A master's trick is as long as the point is reached, and the three generals are not even afraid of the real Lu Bu, so why should my lord worry about Meng Qi?"

Under the city tower, Zhang Feiwu wields the Ba Snake Spear. He is characterized by great strength and fast speed. Because he is a former military fighter, the angle of the piercing is also very tricky. They must try not to hurt each other.

Ma Chao didn't expect Zhang Fei to be so young, and his strength was stronger than that of General Cao Xu Chu by the Weishui River. At the beginning, he kept in mind Lan Tian's instructions and gave in willingly, but as soon as he made a move, he realized that he had to go all out. It's easy to fall into a disadvantage.

The Zhangba Snake Spear is like a giant python, engulfing the power of heaven and earth and seems to swallow the opponent, while the tiger-headed golden spear is like a dragon dancing on yellow sand, rolling up smoke and dust in the sky with an elegant and unrestrained posture.

In November, the cold weather of Baishui Pass has come down. Zhang Fei and Ma Chaoyue Zhan Yueyong are sweating. He has been fighting from early morning to [-] noon. mean.

The legs of Liu Bei, the audience, were numb. He looked up at the sky and said to Zhuge Liang: "Military Master, Yide and Meng Qi have fought more than a hundred times. Do you really want to use martial arts to win?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "I think the two generals haven't had their best time yet. Why don't they withdraw their troops for now, let them have something to eat and rest, and fight again in the afternoon?"

"Fight again? That's fine." Liu Bei rubbed his hands.

dang dang dang dang

Ma Chao took the lead in picking away Zhang Fei's Zhang Ba Snake Spear, and said with a smile: "My lord and the military commander Ming Jin retreated. It seems that we are going to let us take a break. General Zhang, let me stop first?"

"Is General Ma tired? It's not too late to rest until the winner is determined." Although Zhang Fei said this verbally, he still admired Ma Chao in his heart. He followed Liu Bei to fight in the South and North, and most of the enemies could be crushed, like Ma Chao. Such evenly matched opponents are few and far between.

Ma Chao said with a smile on his face: "Actually, I have no idea about the general. General Zhang still wants to fight against me for company. It's just the general order of the lord and the military advisor..."

"It doesn't matter whether the leader is the leader or not. I haven't had a good fight like this for many years. Wait a minute and let me talk to my elder brother." After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he turned his horse and ran down the tower.

"Brother, military advisor, now we are tied, I will fight General Ma for another [-] rounds, and we will retreat when we are tired." Zhang Fei shouted to the tower, then turned and returned to his own battlefield.

Liu Bei felt a little dazed after hearing this, and watched the resurgence of the battle below the city tower, but the two figures became more and more blurred in front of his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang quickly comforted him: "Now it's a martial arts competition, not a battle, so it can't be said that they don't obey orders. Yide obviously hasn't enjoyed fighting yet, so my lord might as well let them compete for a while..."

"What did Yide just say?" Liu Bei frowned and asked Chen Dao on the other side.

Chen Dao's ear strength was excellent, he clasped his fists and replied: "The three generals said they will fight another [-] rounds, and they will withdraw when they are tired from fighting."

Liu Bei's eyes widened, "I can't fight until tomorrow morning? It's hard to stop Yide's energy. Wouldn't it be good to use this energy on the march?"

Zhuge Liang pointed to the two generals who were fighting and said: "Although Yide and Meng Qi fought fiercely, they used their weapons very well, so nothing will go wrong."

"The body is hot and dry during fierce fighting, and it is easy to get cold into the body after stopping. Once it is infected with the wind and cold, how can it be rehabilitated?" Liu Bei asked back.

"Uh... what my lord said makes sense." Zhuge Liangliang nodded.

Liu Bei turned around and Chen Dao said, "Uncle Zhi, let someone prepare a horse for me."

"My lord, what do you want to do?" Zhuge Liang asked in surprise.

Liu Bei clenched the sword around his waist and said firmly, "I don't want anyone to be hurt, so I'm going down to stop them now."

Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Bei's martial arts were not weak, so he didn't say anything to stop him.

Zhang Fei and Ma Chao in front of Baishuiguan were fighting back and forth. Zhang Fei recognized Ma Chao through this battle, and Ma Chao also saw the enemy of ten thousand people through this battle.

Suddenly, the crowd of onlookers opened an opening from the position of the city gate, and saw a general holding two swords shouting and rushing over. Seeing Liu Bei's exit in person, the soldiers responded with shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

Zhang Fei and Ma Chao battled to the heart of the battle, both Hezheng and Zheng each grabbed each other's weapons and wrestled, Liu Bei immediately found that this scene seemed familiar.

"Brother, do you want to warm up too?" Zhang Fei glanced at Liu Bei while holding his breath.

"My lord, swords and guns are ruthless, please watch the battle from the tower." Ma Chao also reminded with a grim face.

Liu Bei advised: "Why do you two have to work so hard? If you are injured, how can you feel at ease?"

"Brother, don't worry, I know that I won't hurt General Ma." Zhang Fei replied.

Ma Chao didn't show any weakness, "My lord, don't worry, I haven't tried my best."

"Did I do my best?" Zhang Fei stared angrily.

Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were like two angry lions. Seeing that they had no intention of giving up, Liu Bei threw away the male and female swords in his hand, and then drove his horse to lean on them.

4 Chapter Seventy

"Brother, what are you doing?" Zhang Fei's eyes were full of surprise.

"My lord, stay away." Ma Chao's face was flushed at this moment.

Liu Bei looked at the two with a calm expression. He held Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear with one hand, and Ma Chao's Tiger Head Zhan Golden Spear with the other. The two tiger generals wrestling in front of them.

Zhang Fei suddenly remembered the encounter in Zhuojun that year. Ma Chao looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar lord in front of him in disbelief, thinking that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were nothing more than ten thousand enemies, but Duke Xuande was so powerful?

"Yide, Meng Qi is going back to the camp and using his strength on the enemy. As for the main general of this expedition..."

Ma Chao got off his horse and bowed down on one knee, shouting loudly: "My lord, the last general is willing to listen to General Yide's orders."

"That's okay, you guys are fighting so hard, so this time Yide will be the general. Let's go back to the city to have a banquet together, and I will do it for you." Seeing Ma Chao's conviction, Liu Bei announced the appointment of the general in a domineering manner.

The surrounding soldiers watching the battle became quiet as Liu Bei entered the arena. When they saw him pulling away the wrestling 'Tiger' with his bare hands, they burst into shouts like a flood.

Zhuge Liang on the tower was very moved. He asked Chen Dao curiously: "Uncle Zhi, Liang rarely sees the lord showing his martial arts. He didn't expect the power to be so strong. Could it be that Yide and Meng Qi cooperated?"

Chen Dao replied: "During the wrestling, if one side loses power suddenly, it may be injured. Just now, it should be the real power of the lord. I heard that the lord used to switch the general and the three generals with his bare hands. That's why the Taoyuan three knots came later..."
