Chapter 473 Uncle Liu enters Yizhou
Zhuge Liang suppressed his laughter, gently shook the feather fan to hide his extreme pleasure, and blinked at Liu Bei at the same time. At this time, the degree of tacit understanding between the two is higher than that of lovers in a state of true love. The eye contact between the two is more magical than the most magical language in the legend. Liu Bei suddenly understood.
Next, Liu Bei happily promised to the messenger of the Fa family that after he arrived in Yizhou, he would send people to secretly contact Fa Zheng and discuss righteous deeds... Yunyun and so on. In order to show his sincerity, Liu Bei handed over the messenger the dragon-shaped jade pendant, the token he carried with him.
The lucky messenger naturally left Liu's house with a complex feeling of joy, gratitude and favor. When Liu Bei was preparing to travel far and dispatch troops from all over Jingzhou, there was exciting news from the Jiangdong boundary. Since this news can cheer them up, it must be a negative thing for Jiangdong Group. The truth of this matter is that Zhuge Jin, an important figure in Jiangdong, woke up from a deep coma. When he learned that Jiangdong Group had undergone earth-shaking changes and knew the context of the matter, he was extremely shocked and calmly accepted the situation. However, for the future development of Jiangdong, there was a dispute between the party led by him and the party led by Gan Ning. Since then, the Jiangdong Group has been divided into two factions, which made it impossible for Taishi Ci, the king of Wu to reconcile.
The two factions in Jiangdong are essentially radicals and have a strong mentality of expanding outward, but in the specific direction of expansion, the positions of the two sides are completely different: the faction led by Zhuge Jin suggested that King Wu Taishici concentrated the financial, material and military strength of the Jiangdong boundary to develop to the west, and find Liu Bei from Jingzhou. Fang asked for the four counties in the agreement, and at the same time sought revenge on Huang Zhong, who shot Sun Jian. At this time, Zhuge Jin did not know the truth about his brother Zhuge Liang's murder of Zhou Yu. His suggestion was immediately supported by Zhou Tai, Cheng Pu, He Qi and other old generals of Jiangdong Group. Zhou Tai also questioned Zhuge Jin face to face: If it is on the battlefield of the Second Army, you and Your own brother Zhuge Liang, can you do it? Zhuge Jin answered seriously: In private, he is a compatriot and brother, and he is your opponent on the battlefield! ... In this way, Zhou Tai has unswervingly supported Zhuge Jin's expansion strategy. In this way, Zhou Tai can avenge Zhou Yu, who died unjustly!
Originally, Tai Shici also supported Zhuge Jin's expansion strategy, which can greatly stimulate the unity and enthusiasm of Jiangdong Group. But secretly, Guo Jia explained to Taishi Ci: This is not a good time to attack Jingzhou, but Taishi Ci can use Zhuge Jin's expansion strategy to let Gan Ning propose a strategy of expanding to the north, and then form two tit-for-tat factions in the Jiangdong boundary. In this way, he can paralyze Liu Bei of Jingzhou and the northern overlord Cao Cao. At the same time, the gradually powerful Liu Bei is bound to fight with Cao Cao, who has regained his vitality...
Of course, Tai Shici gave priority to Guo Jia's plan and secretly instigated Gan Ning to propose different expansion strategies. Gan Ning's northward expansion strategy was strongly supported by Gao Shun, Surman, Han Liner and other generals. These generals are the new blood of Jiangdong Group. The generals such as Lv Meng and Lu Xun maintain a neutral position, and they are the first to take the lead.
As a result, Jiangdong Group's strength is dispersed due to the factional struggle, and it is impossible to form a situation of unified understanding. Since then, Liu Bei of Jingzhou can lead a large army into Yizhou without scruples. Of course, in order to be alert to the sudden trouble of Jiangdong Group, Liu Bei's side Guan Yu, who was proficient in water warfare, was stationed in the military town east of Jingzhou. Other super generals Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Liao Hua and others followed Liu Bei into Sichuan.
At this time, Cao Cao in the north and Liu Bei were willing to pay attention to it. Because of the battle of Chibi and Fufeng County in Liangzhou, Cao Cao lost too many soldiers and his morale was low, and he could not organize a large-scale battle in a short time. In Runan City, the gateway to the north of Jingzhou, Liu Bei sent Wei Yan and Liu Feng to guard it.
Ten days later, Liu Bei personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses to leave Jingzhou City. Other generals led troops from all over the country to Taiping County, an important town in the west of Jingzhou, to join Liu Bei's army.
In Taiping Town, people from all walks of life gathered on Liu Bei's side. After a day of renovation, Liu Bei's 60,000 soldiers and horses went to the Yizhou boundary. Ten days later, Liu Bei's main force arrived in Chengdu, the city of Yizhou. Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, welcomed Uncle Liu Bei into the city with the highest standard treatment.
On the day when Liu Bei's side arrived in Chengdu, the Pingyang Pass in the north of the Yizhou battlefield was jointly broken by Zhang Lu and Ma Chao. The Mianzhu Pass in the south of Yizhou was also in a hurry, and the Yizhou army guarding the pass could not resist the attack of the Yi troops.
In the face of a critical crisis, Liu Bei's side did not have time to repair it, so he began to dispatch troops to support Mianzhuguan in the south and advance north to stop the invasion of Zhang Lu and Ma Chao. The specific military deployment of Liu Bei's side is: the military division Zhuge Liang led Huang Zhong and Liao Hua's two super generals and more than 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers to the southern battlefield. Huang Zhong and Liao Hua are used to fighting in the mountains, so Zhuge Liang specially named them and went to the southern battlefield of the mountains; the remaining more than 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers, It was led by Liu Bei, escorted by Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Pang Tong, and rushed to the northern battlefield at the fastest march.
The combat deployment of Liu Bei's side is in the mind of Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou: If Liu Bei's side joins 50,000 soldiers and horses together, Liu Zhang will inevitably be worried. In case of Liu Bei's intentions and difficulties, it is difficult for Liu Zhang's side to prevent. Now Liu Bei's military strength is scattered, even if Liu Bei's side has any bad behavior at that time. Liu Zhang's side is also easy to prevent.
Zhao Wei, a state official, strongly opposed Liu Zhang's invitation to Liu Bei to lead the army into Sichuan. With 50,000 soldiers and horses, he did not send a soldier to solve Liu Zhang's problems. After attending the ceremony to welcome Liu Bei, he didn't even eat, so he returned to Wudu County where he was stationed.
Zhuge Liang led more than 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers to march quickly. When they reached Mianzhu Pass, thousands of Yi soldiers had climbed the wall of the 20-meter-high gate. The physically and mentally exhausted Yizhou soldiers sacrificed their lives to resist, and nearly 10,000 soldiers from both sides fought hand-to-hand on the national highway. Yan Yan, the fierce general who guarded the city, was covered with white strips of cloth. The white strips were covered with blood, staggering and shaking. Under the enemy's tide-like attack, there were constantly soldiers around him falling under the enemy's weapons. He did not take a step back.
Driven by him, the Yizhou soldiers who almost lost their ability to move also did not take a step back and delayed the time of the enemy's occupation of the gate with their own flesh and blood. In the end, their blood did not flow in vain, and their persistence was finally rewarded. Zhuge Liang led more than 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers and finally arrived in time at the last moment when the gate was about to fall. More than 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers maintained a neat and uniform formation, rushed to the aisle of the wall at the gate, replacing the Yizhou soldiers defending the city, and fighting against the crazy attack of the Yi warriors.
Although the gate also imprisoned the cultivation of the super fierce generals, Huang Zhong and Liao Hua, whose power suddenly declined, were still like tigers into the sheep's pen. Wherever they went, the dense offensive formation of Yi warriors quickly collapsed. Finally, at the call of Meng Huo, the leader of the Yi clan, these Yi warriors came from the city. The wall retreated along the rope made of rattan.
In this attack, Meng Huo's side has been plotting for a long time. Meng Huo didn't expect that the reinforcements of the defenders would arrive so fast and their strength were so strong that they could have captured Mianzhu Pass in one fell swoop. Meng Huo and his wife, Mrs. Zhu Rong, did not participate in this attack. After all, ethnic minorities pay special attention to it. Minorities can't understand and stay away from the role of the super fierce generals at the gate such as Mianzhu Pass. Therefore, as the leader, Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhu Rong did not participate in the battle. If their strength is only the cultivation of intermediate martial artists, not the cultivation of the innate realm, of course they will also participate in the war regardless of their lives.
Waiting for the Yi warriors to retreat from the wall of the gate, Zhuge Liang did not order to open the gate to chase the retreating Yi army. Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan and stood on the wall above the gate, calmly looking as Meng Huo led the army to leave. When tens of thousands of soldiers of the Yi nationality retreated into the mountains and forests, Meng Huo turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang standing quietly on the wall. Zhuge Liang, dressed in white and holding a feather fan, impressed him. When he turned his face, Zhuge Liang's figure and demeanor were clearly displayed in his mind.
After successfully repelled the attack of the Yi soldiers, Zhuge Liang sent someone to send the unconscious Yan Yan back to the rear. A day later, Zhuge Liang led a large army to pursue the retreating Yi army. After the second encounter, the veteran Huang Zhong used the "shadowless arrow" to shoot and injure Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhu Rong, defeating the Yi army. After that, the Yi army no longer dared to confront the Jingzhou army and quickly retreated to the nest. In less than ten days, Zhuge Liang led the army to recover the lost land. Next, he will lead a large army to attack the nest of the Yi people.
In the southern battlefield of Yizhou, Zhuge Liang won a victory and defeated the Yi army. In the northern battlefield, Liu Bei led the army but encountered the hard bone of Ma Chao: Liu Bei led Zhang Fei. Zhao Yun and more than 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers traveled a hundred miles northward and met 20,000 iron cavalrymen of Ma Chao on the edge of the vast Chengdu Plain.
The two sides confronted each other in the open plain without the backing of the city. In the first battle, General Ma Chao defeated Zhang Fei within 500 moves. Ma Chao's brave performance immediately made Liu Bei fall in love at first sight, and Liu Bei had the idea of attracting Ma Chao. In order to take care of Ma Chao and for the sake of fairness, the two sides agreed to take a day off and fight again.
The next day, Liu Bei's side was fought by Zhao Yun. Youzhou Zhao Zilong and Liangzhou Ma Mengqi, although they don't see each other very often, they have indeed been friends for a long time. Although the two sympatheted with each other, they had no choice but to stand against each other at this time, and the two could only fight for their respective positions.
The strength of the two is equal. They fought from early in the morning to the afternoon. After a short break, they continued to fight. Zhao Yun's shooting is flexible and elegant, like clouds and clouds; Ma Chao's guns are wide open and wide, like snowflakes all over the sky; the equipment and weapons of the two are the best, and the war horse is black and white. In the eyes of the viewer, even if the two of them fought hard, the onlookers were still as intoxicated as seeing the most wonderful dance.
After a fierce battle, the two tied. The next day of the battle, after Ma Chao reminded Zhao Yun in advance, he used the stunt of "a whip in the gun", and Zhao Yun was not willing to show weakness. He used the "royal military skill" and used four bronze halberd to fight against Ma Chao with the tiger-headed Zhanjin gun.
The two of them did their best, but they were still equally divided. In the end, their mounts could not stand the atmosphere of fierce fighting, and the two fought on foot.
