Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Zhuge Liangliang nodded, saying that people should not be judged by their appearance, and then sighed: "I wanted Yide and Meng Qi to show off their martial arts skills in front of the army, but I didn't expect the Lord to show off in the end. Although it was unexpected, it will be of great help to Hanzhong. benefit."

After the battle before Baishuiguan, those generals who were prejudiced against Ma Chao were gradually convinced, and they were even more shocked by the powerful momentum of the black face Zhang Fei, which made it easy for this joint force to generate synergy.

Ma Chao brought the least number of people from Linju, but he became Zhang Fei's real deputy by virtue of his powerful force. When he set off from Jingzhou, he received a letter from Lantian. The letter only had eight simple words: No Forgetting the original intention is the only way to stay forever.

Ma Chao was thinking about the deep meaning of these eight words all the way, and when he and Zhang Fei fought for more than a hundred times and let Liu Bei pull away, he finally found the answer in his heart.

His original intention of entering Shu was to find someone to rely on, and if he had the opportunity, he wanted to avenge his dead wife, children, and clan members. People like Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were trustworthy backers.

As for the political novice who was honed in this battle between the chief generals, Ma Chao never thought in his heart that it is the young people's job to show off in fresh clothes and angry horses. As a general, he has no background in Liu Bei's camp. Lantian, Jiaozhou is optimistic, maybe I don't even have the chance to go to the front line.

Being able to fight back to Liangzhou as a lieutenant, Ma Chao already felt very satisfied, and he didn't have any extravagant hopes.

Liu Bei served wine at Baishuiguan to reward the soldiers. Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were panting and sweating profusely, and they both gave each other admiring eyes.

Zhuge Liang waved the feather fan, and the waiters outside the tent shuttled back and forth like fish, and the wine and meat brought from Chengdu were put on the table one after another.

"Just get more wine, I want to get drunk with General Ma." Zhang Fei yelled rudely.

Liu Bei frowned slightly, "The expedition is imminent, don't drink too much, the road to Wudu is dangerous, and Yide must restrain himself."

Zhang Fei murmured, "Because there is no wine or meat in Wudu, I have to drink enough before I set off. I had a great fight with General Ma today. If there is no wine to cheer me up, I always feel that I owe something."

"Marching on the mountain road in winter is slow, and it's not bad for three or two days. The three generals can drink as much as they want. When you reach Wudu, Meng Qi (Ma Chao) and Ziyuan (Wu Yi) must supervise you." Zhuge Liang lightly Nod lightly.

"Wei." Ma Chao (Wu Yi) answered with cupped fists.

Liu Bei commanded solemnly: "This time, you are acting as partial divisions to contain Cao's army. You should avoid the main force of Cao's army as much as possible. The main purpose is to delay the time rather than kill the enemy. If you are unable to do so, you should withdraw by the same route as soon as possible."

Wu Yi and Ma Chao listened more seriously, while Zhang Fei's attention was on the wine at this time, and Liu Bei, who was in the main seat, kept shaking his head.

Zhuge Liang smiled and comforted: "Let Yide and the others play freely. Xiahouyuan may not divide the Hanzhong defenders, and Cao Cao may transfer Guanzhong soldiers to rescue Wudu."

"If that's the case, the risk outweighs the gain." Liu Bei frowned.

"My lord, if we attack Hanzhong with a formation, Cao Cao will definitely lead his troops to rescue him when he hears the news. His troops are already far superior to those in Yizhou. In addition, there are dangerous fortresses blocking it. It will be very difficult for us to take Hanzhong head-on. That's why Yide and the others All the way is still necessary." Zhuge Liang analyzed.

"Whether Wudu is close or far from Yangping Pass, I don't know if Cao Cao will pay attention to it." Liu Bei didn't know.

Zhuge Liang: "If Cao Cao pays attention to this partial division, he will achieve the goal of dividing his defenders. If the opponent does not pay attention to the position of Wudu, the grain road behind them will be the supply line of Yide..."

"Yes, yes, we don't have supplies from the rear, so we went to grab Cao Cao's food." Zhang Fei interrupted suddenly.

"It's no problem to grab Cao Cao's food and grass. When we go to Wudu, we need to strictly restrain our subordinates and be careful not to hurt the local people. We will take Hanzhong and attack Liangzhou. The people's hearts cannot be broken..." Liu Bei reminded.

"I……"

Ma Chao was about to say that he could raise food from the Qiang and Di tribes, when Zhang Fei suddenly waved his hand while holding the wine.

"General Ma, you are very good, but don't just eat meat, drink more wine with me." Zhang Fei said naively.

"Uh...I respect General Zhang." Ma Chao hastily replied.

Zhang Fei was the loudest in the big tent, and he pulled Ma Chao to persuade him to drink, while Wu Yi and other generals had to accompany him in embarrassment, and Liu Bei on the side was very speechless.

"Military division, tell them how to fight, otherwise what will you do if you encounter an emergency?" Liu Bei said worriedly.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The generals are in high spirits right now, and we can talk about how to go down to the village and how to march and retreat when we wake up tomorrow."

Liu Bei nodded: "That makes sense."

Because Zhang Fei and Ma Chao fought for a long time, they snored and slept deeply in the camp at night, while Zhuge Liang asked people to set up a sand table in Wudu overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhuge Liang summoned the three generals and deputy generals to deploy tactics.

Zhuge Liang looked serious, and he pointed to a point on the sand table and said: "Wudu County is located in the western hinterland of the Qinling Mountains. Guard the crossing of the small road, otherwise, if Cao Jun cuts off the way back, the men and horses who go there will not be able to return to Yizhou successfully."

Chapter 471 Getting Lost and Leading the Way

Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Wu Yi could all understand that it was Zhuge Liang's routine operation to leave things behind.

"Because this is a surprise attack, Wudu's defense must be lax. You can capture Xiabian by surprise. Wudu's food storage should be all here. Standing in the city, you can fight around the city. Defending the city is easier than siege." Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Fei and ordered.

Zhang Fei nodded his head, "I see, the first step is to occupy the defense city."

Zhuge Liang said again: "Once Wudu is in an emergency, Cao Cao will definitely send troops to rescue. Whether it is the garrison in Hanzhong or the Cao soldiers in Chang'an, they should mainly enter from the Chencang Road in the northeast, but the Qishan Road in the northwest is also unavoidable. If the army circles around and forms a siege, then Xiabian City will be in dire straits, so we need to send more scouts to investigate everywhere."

"I know this. Ziyu said in the lecture hall that intelligence is the first priority in war." Zhang Fei agreed.

Zhuge Liangliang nodded, "It seems that Yide is gradually able to use strategy, and it has a lot to do with the martial arts hall. Next, let me talk about the method of choosing a place to go to the village when encountering in the wild..."

Liu Bei was afraid that Zhuge Liang had said too much, and the generals in front of him couldn't remember at all, so he interrupted: "Military master, let the third brother adapt to the situation. The so-called water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent. As long as Dang Qu dealt with Zhang Yun, it should be done." It won't hurt too much."

"My lord is right, let's set off immediately." Zhuge Liang nodded.

In November of the 22nd year of Jian'an, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Wu Yi combined [-] troops out of Baishui Pass, followed the Jinniu Road to the north for dozens of miles, and then turned to the mountains on the left.

The cold wind howled in the mountains, and the rain was icy cold.

Zhang Fei's soldiers shuttled between the mountains, looking down like ants in the sky.

As the guide of the army, Lei Tong walked in the front with a sheepskin map. Since he had not walked this road himself, he led the army for half a month, but he always detoured around several mountains.

Zhang Fei immediately called Wu Yi to ask, "Isn't General Lei from Di? You don't even know the way home?"

Wu Yi panted heavily with embarrassment written on his face, "There are often torrents and mudstones falling in the mountains. The old road maps did not record it accurately, so..."

Zhang Fei was very contemptuous when he heard this, and he said that he didn't understand it, so he came here to ask for merit in a hurry. Do you really think that following me can easily get military merit?He called Ma Chao from the rear army and said: "Meng Qi, I remember that when you entered Shu from Hanzhong, you also came from the trail of the Di tribe. Why don't you guide the whole army?"

"Then I'll try my best." Ma Chao nodded in agreement.

When starting out, Zhang Fei arranged for him to break up and let Wu Yi, the rebellious general, lead the way, but Zhang Fei didn't allow it to go on like this, because he didn't have much food and grass. panic.

Ma Chao's sense of direction and judgment is obviously stronger than that of Lei Tong. After he circled the mountains with tens of thousands of troops for a few days, he miraculously entered the Judao section of Chencang Road.

When the army was resting by the river, Zhang Fei had a whim and asked, "It's not too far from Yangping Pass for the martial arts competition. Why don't we take Yangping Pass by surprise? My brother can also drive straight into Hanzhong."

"No, general. The terrain of Yangping Pass is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Cao's army of [-] soldiers was blocked outside for several months, so it is better to attack and occupy the city."

Ma Chao is familiar with Hanzhong's defense, and now this lone army has no supplies at all, and attacking Yangping Pass is tantamount to courting death.

"Uh...should we attack and argue? There is not much food left..." Wu Yi reminded.

Zhang Fei frowned, "I also know that Yangping Pass can't be beaten. Didn't I want to test you? I walked in the mountains for half a month, otherwise we would have been eating meat and drinking in Xiabian."

Wu Yi was speechless. Although Zhang Fei saved him enough face, he always felt that his face was hot.

After a brief rest and supply, the army continued to go northward. They bypassed Ju County and went straight to the seat of Wudu County.

Wudu County is located in the south of the Wei River, west of the Gudao River, and east of the Xihan River in the Qinling Mountains. The ten counties under its jurisdiction are mostly built on the basis of high mountains and valleys. The administrative office is located in the center of Wudu County, which is Huicheng core area of ​​the plain.

When dust rolled up on the Huicheng Plain, the defenders of Xiabian knew that the enemy had invaded. When the prefect Yang Fu heard the news, he went up to the tower and looked at it. He saw yellow sand all over the sky and countless troops.

"Where did the soldiers and horses come from? The marching direction seems to be coming from Yangping Pass. Could it be that there is another rebellion in Longyou? General Miaocai wants to lead troops to suppress the rebellion?" Yang Fu frowned and guessed.

City Defense Zhonglang General Bai Qi said: "I have sent General Qin An to lead the troops to investigate, and I believe news will come back soon."

After a while, the scouts came to report, "General Qin was thrown off his horse with a spear before he could announce his name, and the opponent's flag seems to be the word Zhang..."

Yang Fu frowned and asked, "Who are the generals surnamed Zhang in Hanzhong?"

"Could it be Zhang Yun?" Bai Qi asked hesitantly.

"Shouldn't it? General Zhang is the favorite general of King Wei, how could he attack Xiabian for no reason?" Yang Fu shook his head.

"Can you see the appearance of the enemy general?" Bai Qi asked the scout again.

The scout replied: "That man has a leopard head and eyes, and a black face with a beard and a hideous and terrifying appearance..."

Bai Qi scratched his head and said to himself: "Why is this appearance so familiar?"

At this time, Zhang Fei led the army and approached the south gate of the city. He pointed Qin An's helmet with a zhangba snake spear and shouted: "Listen, people in the city, surrender the city quickly, or Shaoqing City will be destroyed."

"See if it's that person." Yang Fu pointed at Zhang Fei and asked.

"That's right, that's him..." The scout nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Bai Qi yelled at Zhang Fei: "Where do you bastards dare to invade the country? Doing it without waiting for a name is a bit disrespectful of martial arts."

Zhang Fei sneered and said, "Can you be a general with just that bit of martial arts? He doesn't deserve to know my name."

"Hei Si, don't be arrogant, wait for me to go down and cut off your dog's head." Bai Qi was furious.

"Then come down quickly, I just didn't have a good time." Zhang Fei mocked Bai Qi.

Bai Qi turned around and strode down the tower. As soon as he reached the parapet wall, he bumped into a general. He took a closer look and found that it was his lieutenant general He Su.

"Why are you panicking?" Bai Qi angrily covered his nose.

He Su clasped his fists and apologized: "General Bai, the east gate of Xiabian was attacked by the enemy..."

Bai Qi immediately frowned, thinking that there are enemies in the east?He grabbed He Su's wrist and asked excitedly: "Where is the enemy from the east? Who is the leading general?

"It seems to be Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in Yizhou. The general who commanded the siege is named Wu Yi..." He Su swallowed his saliva and replied.

Bai Qi asked in disbelief: "Wu Yi? Yizhou soldiers? Did they come from the sky?"

He Su shook his head violently. At this time, the scouts from the city came to report: "Machao of Xiliang is at the north gate, please send reinforcements quickly, two generals."

Bai Qi and He Su opened their eyes wide at the same time. The name Ma Chao was too familiar, and they walked quickly towards the direction of the prefect Yang Fu.

Chapter 472 Am I in trouble?

"Who do you think is here?" Yang Fu's scalp tingled when he heard Ma Chao's name.

"Ma... Ma Chao..." Bai Qi swallowed.

"Ma Chao's life is really big, but Liu Bei's heart is even bigger. Isn't he afraid of this guy's rebellion? What happened..." Yang Fu gritted his teeth and his face changed drastically.

"What's wrong with you, prefect?" He Su asked with concern.

Yang Fu patted his chest and said slowly: "Since Ma Chao is from the north gate, and Yizhou Wu Yi is from the east gate, then the south gate in front of us should be Zhang..."

"Zhang Fei?" Bai Qi's expression was exaggerated.

Yang Fu nodded and smiled wryly, "Yan's jaw is like a tiger's beard, leopard's head is surrounded by eyes, and Zhang Ba's snake spear is Zhang Fei, who else is it?"

"The prefect and Ma Chao have an old grudge and a new grudge, and now there is Zhang Fei, who is an enemy of ten thousand people, can we still defend Biancheng?" He Su asked tremblingly.

"Hey, did that rat run away just now? Why haven't you come out of the city for so long? My old Zhang's patience is limited." Zhang Fei shouted from under the tower.

Yang Fu approached the city, glanced at Zhang Fei, and said coldly: "You black servant violated the border for no reason, so you are not afraid of coming back?"

Zhang Fei carried the snake spear on his shoulder, and said playfully, "Did I say that I wanted to go back? After walking such a long way, I have to argue with myself."

"Prefect, try to attract Zhang Fei to speak, and I will shoot this black servant with a cold arrow." Bai Qi had already grasped the bow and arrow in his hand at some point.

"Will you not talk about martial ethics?" Lieutenant General He Su asked.

Bai Qi snorted coldly: "Qin An died without even declaring his name, it's that black servant who didn't put martial arts first."

Yang Fu nodded lightly. If he could shoot Zhang Fei, it would be a great achievement even if he lost Biancheng. He put his hand on his forehead in a lookout posture.

He shouted in his mouth: "I am Yang Fu, the prefect of Wudu. I have long heard that General Zhang's famous works are famous all over the world. Can you come closer and let the children pay their respects?"

"What can I look up to?" Zhang Fei frowned.

"This is the wish of the soldiers guarding the city. I will open the city gate to welcome you in." Yang Fu bowed his hands.

Zhang Fei pinched his beard and said to himself that I don't have a beautiful beard like my second brother. Is Liangzhou's aesthetics different from other places?

"General, beware of fraud." Qin Wei Wu Er reminded.

Zhang Fei nodded slightly to express his understanding, and then urged the horse to walk forward with its head held high, but he was already on guard.

"General Zhang looks like a man of heaven, he really deserves to be a tiger general in the world." Yang Fu stroked his beard in a compliment, attracting Zhang Fei's attention verbally.

Zhang Fei had no sense of vanity, he knew that his appearance was rather rude, and could not be compared with Liu Bei and Guan Yu's appearance, so Yang Fu's flattery had the opposite effect.

With a whoosh, a cold arrow landed on the city wall.

Bows and arrows can test the strength of a general. The greater the strength in the arm, the stronger the bow will be. The arrows shot are not only fast but also have strong penetrating power. Zhang Fei looked at the cold arrows flying like a child's play.

Can you sneak attack my old Zhang with this strength?Zhang Fei turned his back and tilted his body slightly, only to see his big hand waved into the sky, firmly grasping the flying arrow.

Zhang Fei then took out the carved bow from his waist, pressed the arrow he caught with his bare hands on his own string, and then aimed at the figure on the city wall to draw the string full.

This back and forth flowed freely, and the people on the city wall were stunned.

When Zhang Fei fought back with a bow and arrow, Bai Qi pulled Yang Fu down, and the feathered arrow flew directly over Yang Fu's head.

Yang Fu was so frightened that he shrank under the wall, with his head disheveled and asked in panic, "Is my head still there?"

"Hahaha, this amount of strength is also worthy of a sneak attack? It seems that there is no fun in arguing now." After Zhang Fei laughed, he immediately ordered the rear army to launch an attack.
