At the Hanzhong Army's stronghold in Tiandang Mountain, Zhang Wei was pacing back and forth in the camp, anxious. Yang Ang came in from outside, and Zhang Ren asked anxiously: "How is the situation?"
Yang Ang bowed and said, "General, Yan Yan's camp is still full of flags, but I see there are no sergeants under the flags. The troops must be very empty. Why don't we go and seize them."
Zhang Wei said angrily: "I wanted to take it away, but just now a military report came from Yang Ren at Baishui Pass. Taking advantage of the weak strength of Baishui Pass, the Sichuan army divided the army into ten batches of three thousand each. They took turns attacking Baishui Pass without causing any damage.
, the troops at Baishui Pass are weak, their morale is low, and they have no fighting spirit. If this continues, they will lose sooner or later."
"Then what does the general plan to do?"
"What else can we do? We can only divide our troops to rescue. Yang Bai's arrogance has caused harm to the three armies. This is a foolproof situation, but he has forced me to be so passive. There is no good person in the Yang family. Oh, I didn't tell you,
I am talking about Yang Song and Yang Bai’s party.”
Yang Ang quickly said: "The general will finally understand."
Zhang Wei pondered for a moment and said: "Liu Zhang came out in full force to attack Baishui. Now there is no need to worry about Dangshan today. However, Liu Zhang is cunning and has great plans. Zhang Ren and Wei Yan are both brave generals in the world. I should personally lead the army."
Go to reinforce, guard Tiandang Mountain carefully, and never go out to fight without authorization. The Sichuan army will be exhausted after such a lifeless attack. After a long battle, after five days, we will attack both passes, and the Sichuan army will be defeated."
"Yes, I will obey the general's order."
……………………………………………………
Chengdu at night, Mufu.
Zhou Busuo leaned against the balcony railing and looked at the scenery in the garden melancholy. Xiao Furong walked from the corridor and complained as she walked: "It's so disappointing. After just a while, she said she was too tired. How can she be a good person in the future?"
A great general who conquers the world."
Zhou Bujie forced a smile and said speechlessly: "When I leave, you will torment my son. Liu Xun will not be a general in the future. It is useless to know martial arts. But it's okay. With you here, he will bother me less."
."
After Liu Zhang left, Liu Xun still asked Zhou Buyi to teach him how to write poems every day. Now that Liu Xun's poems were basically fluent, he started asking Zhou Buyi to teach him how to write articles. Zhou Buyi couldn't bear his annoyance and almost wrote
I was going crazy, but luckily Xiao Furong took Liu Xun to learn martial arts every day, so I had some free time.
"You can keep fit even if you don't fight. Who says it's useless, hmm? You don't seem very happy. Why, did you encounter setbacks in learning the craft from Master Ma?"
"No, my teacher is dead." Zhou Buyi said sadly.
"What? Master Ma is dead. I saw him this morning. It's such a pity that he was so young."
"What?" Zhou Buyi glanced sideways at Xiao Furong: "It's my other teacher, Qu Tian."
"Qu Tian?"
"Have you heard about the Battle of Brazil? Not only did my teacher die, but the entire Qu family was wiped out. In fact, ever since I decided to stay in Yizhou, I have been thinking about how I would eliminate Pang Xi and capture Hanzhong.
So the first thing I thought of was my teacher.
I knew that Qu Tian persuaded his family to join Pang Xi, and I also knew how the teacher viewed him. I had already guessed that he was deliberately getting close to Pang Xi, but I didn’t expect this result. If I could have told Zhou what I thought earlier.
Mr. Mu, my teacher will not die, and the Qu family will not be destroyed. I am sorry for my teacher."
Zhou Buyi was lying on the edge of the balcony, covering his cheeks with his palms. This was the first time Xiao Furong saw Zhou Buyi when he was sad. Usually, he was careless and disrespectful to the teachers, no matter old or young.
I thought he didn't respect teachers at all, but I didn't expect...
Xiao Furong patted his small shoulder and comforted him: "People cannot be resurrected after death, so it's useless for you to be sad."
Zhou Bujie raised his head and said: "I'm not sad, I just feel it's a pity for a young talented man who doesn't pursue fame and fortune... Forget it, I heard that Mr. Zhou Mu relapsed because of the wrongful killing of the Qu family. I feel sorry for the teacher.
I'm sorry, sir, so I'll help you get Hanzhong, which can also be considered as comfort to my teacher's spirit in heaven."
"..." Xiao Furong was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. A child was sitting in Chengdu and had no idea about the battle ahead, so he casually said that he wanted to capture Hanzhong, which was thousands of miles away. Is this a case of madness?
"Are you sure that I can't take Hanzhong?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Zhou Buyi said calmly: "With your great strategy, Fa Zheng's wisdom, and the bravery of the Sichuan generals, it is not impossible to go to Hanzhong. However, my Lord only brought 40,000 troops out of Jiameng, and
The road along Micang Road is steep and dangerous, and Zhang Lu has an army of 60,000. Is it so easy to capture it?
The most important thing is that Zhang Lu governed Hanzhong with religion and won the hearts of the people. He had the support of the people. Zhang Lu had no ambitions, but he had a grudge against his mother for killing his mother. He would never surrender until he was at the end of his rope.
I predict that your Excellency will be victorious in the first battle, but as time goes by, it will become more and more difficult to advance, and finally there will be a stalemate. The number of winners and losers should be between five and five, and it is absolutely impossible to capture Hanzhong within a year."
"One year? That long?" Xiao Furong said in surprise. She felt that after Liu Zhang left, the pastoral residence became empty and she didn't want to stay any longer. If Liu Zhang could not come back after a year, she might as well go back now.
What about Wuxi?
"Do you think fighting is just about playing house?" Zhou Bujie thought for a moment, "I will write a letter and send it to the Lord's barracks later. When the letter arrives, it should be when the Lord's attack on the city is blocked. You can do it now.
Go back to Wuxi and gather at least two thousand barbarians."
Xiao Furong kicked Zhou Buyi: "You are so arrogant. What does it have to do with me if you write your letter?"
Zhou Busuo said angrily: "Miss, have you forgotten what I promised you? I want to help you become your wife. Now that Huang Yue has helped you so much in Brazil, I guess you are grateful to Huang Yue now."
I feel so guilty that if you don't try harder, it will be difficult for you to be a concubine.
Your Excellency is fighting Zhang Lu, and you and Huang Yue are also fighting. Otherwise, why would I only offer this one when I leave so many strategies unused? This time I will kill three birds with one stone and not solve your problem.
Sorry, I can't sleep or eat well."
After Baishui Pass, Zhang Wei looked at the Sichuan Army's attack coldly and asked Yang Rendao next to him: "How many times has the Sichuan Army attacked?"
"The seventy-eighth time."
Zhang Wei saw that some of the Sichuan soldiers under the pass could hardly run, and some fainted directly on the battlefield. The arrows shot by the archers could not reach the wall. He snorted coldly: "Fighting like this, Fazheng
Zhang Ren really deserves his reputation. Today is already the fifth day. Our most difficult period has passed. You sent someone to inform Yang Ang that tonight, we will launch a full-scale counterattack."
"yes."
At this moment, a soldier covered in blood climbed up the tower in panic and shouted in a hoarse voice: "General Zhang, it's bad, Tiandang Mountain has been lost."
