Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 162 Northern Expedition! Two dragons and four tigers emerge from Qinchuan (seeking pursuit)
Fa Zheng was silent.

Zhuge Liang's power this time is greater than when Liu Bei became a general in Hanzhong!
In addition to the military campaigns of the Northern General and the governor of Yongliang, he also had the authority of Jiajie Yue.

When he paid homage to the general in Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang was just a Jie Jie, but now he has obtained a Jie Jie Yue with the same authority as Guan Yu.

With the false festival yue, even if Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong all have false festival power, they still have to obey Zhuge Liang's orders.

This time the Northern Expedition.

Not only to defeat Cao Wei, but also to enable Zhuge Liang to achieve military exploits.

Including Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan, they are all just green leaves to foil Zhuge Liang.

Although Fazheng was resourceful and ingenious, he did not match Zhuge Qiao's style.

If Fa Zheng were to follow Zhuge Liang in the Northern Expedition, not only would he not be able to help Zhuge Liang make decisions, but it would easily cause disagreements.

Fazheng is only suitable to follow Liu Bei!

Hussar General's Mansion.

only.

Although Fazheng expressed his stance in front of Liu Bei, he still couldn't let go.

Ma Cheng and Ma Lingli were stunned for a moment.

After revolting against Cao Cao, Ma Chao's wives, concubines, and children died one after another. The unforgettable hatred drove Ma Chao almost crazy.

Ma Cheng shouted loudly: "My father is the Hussars General of the Han Dynasty, the leader of Liangzhou Mu, the Marquis of Zhexiang, and the Shenweitian General!"

"If you stay in Chengdu, I won't have to worry about you being kidnapped by thieves."

a long time.

In the evening, Fazheng couldn't restrain his inner irritability and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for Zhuge Liang, only to learn that Zhuge Liang had already gone to Hanzhong.

But this time, Ma Chao no longer has to worry about misfortune to his wife and children.

Zhuge Qiao hid the topographic map of Guanzhong mountains and rivers given by Fazheng close to his body, and his eyes became determined.

Fazheng was in a comfortable mood at this moment, and he also said boldly: "I have heard for a long time that there is good wine in the Prime Minister's house, but I have not been able to taste a bottle. Today I will be treated by Robertson."

Although he understood Liu Bei's intention, Fazheng couldn't let go.

There were also maids and guards bringing brocade robes and silver armor.

"Fufeng practices filial piety and uprightness, he is a genius in the world!"

Lifting the tiger-headed spear hanging on the saddle hook, he made a circle in mid-air. Ma Chao's eyes became extremely determined: "Brother Dai, it's time to go home!"

Fazheng took a long breath, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I sincerely follow your majesty's teachings."

Seeing that Fa Zheng was showing signs of falling into madness again, Liu Bei hated Meng Da even more in his heart, and comforted him with kind words: "You are Fa Zheng, filial and upright, and my minister, how can you be compared to Meng Da? You have to look at the whole world. Don’t let Mengda become your obsession!”

Ma Chao hugged his wife gently, then knelt down and looked at Ma Cheng and Ma Lingli: "Cheng'er, Lingli, do you know who your father is?"

General Wei's Mansion.

Zhuge Qiao stepped out of the way and said, "Master Fa, I have prepared a banquet in my house. I would like to drink with Master Fa."

Fazheng laughed, and the frustration in his heart was swept away: "Prime Minister, you know my heart!"

Ma Cheng and Ma Lingli sat quietly in front of Ma Chao, holding their chins with their hands and staring at Ma Chao carefully.

Get up and laugh.

Seeing Fa Zheng's sad face, Zhuge Qiao handed a letter to Fa Zheng: "Fa Zheng, my father expected you to come and left a letter for you."

Ma Dai responded, got on his horse, and also held his spear in a circle.

The white robes, silver armor and brocade horse Chao once again showed the heroic appearance of the mighty general of Xiliang in the past.

Meng Da is in Guanzhong, but Fa Zheng cannot capture Meng Da alive in person to vent his hatred.

"General, take care. Please remember that your children at home are still young and do not show off on the battlefield. I am waiting in Chengdu for the return of the general." Mrs. Ma did not act like a little girl, and her words were full of concern for Ma Chao.

Ma Chao's tone was a little more vicissitudes of life and low.

Ma Lingli also shouted after Ma Cheng.

Ma Chao walked out of the mansion vigorously, and there were already guards and cavalrymen leading the war horses.

"Madam, Cheng'er and Lingli will be entrusted to you."

Fazheng was stunned for a moment, then he opened the letter and took a look.

"Mengda, Mengda, if I can't capture you, how can I be worthy of Fa Shangshu's long-term efforts in Yueqi County?"

Ma Chao held Ma Cheng and Ma Lingli in his arms, gently stroked the fragile backs of Ma Cheng and Ma Lingli, and said softly: "When father comes back, I will accompany you two to study, practice martial arts and play."

The translation of Zhuge Liang's letter is: I know Xiaozhi that you have a clever plan to break through the pass and capture Mengda, but if you go to the pass, Mengda will definitely be on strict guard against you and cannot take you by surprise, and the plan will be useless. But if you tell Bosong about the plan and Bosong does it for you, Mengda will not be prepared.

But there was only a simple sentence in the letter: "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle. Although filial piety and uprightness cannot be seen in person, Bosong can do it for him."

Except for Zhuge Qiao, no one else knew what Fazheng said. They only knew that Fazheng walked away laughing with panda eyes on the second day.

More than ten riders rode away, facing the warm morning sun.

Ma Chao sat on the table and let his wife comb his long hair.

Huang Zhong handed a carved bow to Huo Yi, his eyes full of love and reluctance: "Xiao Yi, this carved bow was made by me when I thought about my childhood over the years, and the carvings on the back of the bow were also made by me. Carved."

"Although you and I don't spend much time together, you have allowed me to enjoy family happiness again in this old age. I have nothing but this carved bow that is the most precious."

"Today I give this carved bow to you. I hope you can use this carved bow to fight and kill enemies on the battlefield in the future, and not fall short of the heroic prowess of your former commander Huo Zhongmiao."

With tears in his eyes, Huo Yi knelt on his knees, raised his hands, and solemnly took the carved bow from Huang Zhong: "Once a teacher, I will always be a father. My teacher treats me with as much kindness as a mountain, and I have the same affection as father and son. A disciple must I have lived up to the high expectations of my father and mentor."

"It's bitterly cold in Qinchuan and the march is difficult and dangerous. Please take care of yourself, my mentor. My disciple is in Chengdu. I'm waiting for my mentor to kill the general and seize the flag, so that my long-cherished wish can be fulfilled!"

Huang Zhong laughed loudly: "Xiao Yi, a good man, don't shed tears easily, don't be like a little girl."

Huo Yi blinked hard and pushed back the tears in his eyes. He took out a short knife from his waist and handed it to Huang Zhong: "Teacher, this is a precious knife that my father gave me when he was still alive. Although it cannot be said to be for cutting iron." It's like mud, but it's also sharper than an ordinary knife. Please bring this knife with you, my mentor. The knife is as I am!"

Huang Zhong took a deep breath, took the dagger handed over by Huo Yi, and used a gentle force to unsheath the dagger: "It is indeed a precious sword. If you use this knife to kill the thief, Xiao Yi will be with me, haha!"

And at the entrance of the courtyard.

Liu Chan watched Huang Zhong and Huo Yi's farewells quietly without saying a word to disturb them.

Although they both practiced martial arts under Huang Zhong, Liu Chan knew very well that Huang Zhong treated him as his young master, but he treated Huo Yi as his own son.

When Huang Zhong came, Liu Chan bowed and saluted: "Old General!"

Huang Zhong returned the gift, looking at Liu Chan who was completely different from his usual naughty temperament, and quickly helped Liu Chan up: "The prince is kind, and he will definitely become a benevolent king in the future. The old minister is just a vulgar martial artist, and he cannot afford such a gift from the prince!"

Liu Chan's eyes were sincere and his tone was full of admiration: "I owe my current status to my father. How can I compare with the old general? The old general is more than seventy years old, but he still has to fight for the Han Dynasty. He is loyal and loyal. Your heart should be an example to all generations.”

"If I can conquer the Han Dynasty one day, I will follow the example of Emperor Xiaoming and build Yuntai Pavilion again and hang the portrait of the old general. All future generations will sacrifice to the old general."

Huang Zhong clasped his fists heavily: "Your Majesty, with the crown prince here, there is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty!"

With his back bowed and his sword across, Huang Zhong got on his horse and apologized to Liu Chan and Huo Yi for farewell: "Prince, Xiao Yi, this is the farewell. See you at Chang'an City tomorrow!"

Laughing loudly, Huang Zhong shouted: "Where is the old soldier?"

More than a dozen old soldiers shouted in unison: "The general is here, I'll be there soon!"

Huang Zhong waved his whip and said: "How can a man die here of old age when he is wrapped in horse leather? I would rather bury his bones with me in Qinchuan, so that the usurper and traitor can witness the old soldier's blood!"

More than ten old soldiers laughed and shouted: "What a blessing in this life!"

Listening to the impassioned cries and watching Huang Zhong and other martyrs walking away, Liu Chan's heart was shocked again.

"The wind is rustling and the water is cold. A strong man will never come back. Explore the tiger's den and enter the dragon's palace. Look up to the sky and exhale and it will turn into a white rainbow."

"With such a righteous man in the Han Dynasty, why worry about the failure of the Han Dynasty?"

Liu Chan subconsciously recited "Song of Crossing the Yi River" silently, and once again clasped his fists and bowed in the direction of Huang Zhong's departure.

General Lingjun's Mansion.

Zhao Yun carefully wiped the bright silver gun in his hand.

More than fifty knights all quietly watched Zhao Yun wipe the tips of their spears.

a long time.

Zhao Yun stood up, scanned the crowd with his resolute tiger eyes, and said slowly: "Qinchuan is no better than Jing Yi. Where are the real cavalry, how can you be afraid of them?"

All the knights laughed: "The general is not afraid, so what should we be afraid of!"

Zhao Yun's eyes were slightly dazzled: "Among you, there are my Changshan natives, there are righteous men from Youzhou, there are brave knights from Qingji, there are tiger soldiers from Bingzhou, and there are also heroes from Jingxu."

"In the past, there were hundreds of brave knights, but now there are only about fifty knights left. However, I couldn't bring you to be a marquis, and I couldn't even let you return your body wrapped in horse leather."

"Do you have any resentment in your hearts?"

All the cavalrymen laughed.

"General, why are you acting like a little girl? We are lucky enough to fight with the general, so how can we resent the general because we have not yet established our reputation?"

"There are endless green mountains. Where is the place where our bones are not buried? Why do we need to transport them back to our hometown for burial?"

"How many people in this world can be crowned marquises? We fight not for fame and wealth, but for a word of righteousness."

"So what if he is nameless? We just hope that someone in the history of the world will remember the name of the general!"

"."

The heroic words came one after another, all of them were righteous men who were open-minded and not afraid of life and death.

Zhao Yun was also affected and laughed heartily: "Qingshi may not remember your names, but I can remember your names!"

"Luoping in Changshan, Zhang Heng in Zhongshan, Xu Lie in Beiping in the right, Xu Hu in Le'an, Liu Da in Pingyuan, and Yuan Ding in Bohai."

Zhao Yun read out the names of more than fifty knights one by one.

Every time a name was read, someone responded enthusiastically.

"Guiyang Chen Feng."

"To!"

Zhao Yun looked at Chen Feng, who used to be a general in Xiling: "You followed me the latest, and you didn't make much contribution. If you regret it, I will ask your Majesty to let you station troops."

Chen Feng knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Why does the general look down on me? If I hadn't been a general in the past, I would have died in Xiling. If I had left with resentment without making much contribution, how could I still stand in the world! If the general wanted to Let me leave, please give me an arrow!"

Zhao Yun looked at Chen Feng and saw Chen Feng's firm eyes, so he stepped forward to help Chen Feng up: "In that case, then come with me out of Qinchuan! If God's will is willing, we can return to Chengdu together one day and ask for a reward!"

Chen Feng clasped his fists and shouted: "I will obey the general's orders!"

And at the door of the house.

Zhao Yun's wife, Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang, looked at Zhao Yun quietly.

Looking back at his wife and children, Zhao Yun just gave him a nod and a look, then turned around decisively and shouted softly: "Mount the horse!" The cruelty of war will not be changed by personal bravery.

Every expedition is a gamble of life and death.

Zhao Yun didn't know how many more than fifty riders could come back. Zhao Yun didn't even know if he could come back alive.

"Father!"

Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang couldn't help shouting.

Zhao Yun did not look back, but just raised the spear in his hand in response.

The cavalry is Juechen, another group of loyal and brave soldiers fighting for justice.

At noon.

Zhuge Qiao woke up to Wang Ping's call.

Last night, he and Fazheng chatted for almost an entire night. In order not to affect the march, Zhuge Qiao took a short nap for a few hours.

"Zijun, please go and wait outside the mansion first, allowing me to say goodbye to my mother and wife." Zhuge Qiao came to the courtyard, holding water in his hand, and washed himself roughly.

Subsequently.

Zhuge Qiao came to the front yard, where Huang Yueying and Guan Feng, who was many months pregnant, were already waiting in the yard.

"I've kept my mother and madam waiting for a long time." Zhuge Qiao pretended to be relaxed.

Guan Feng bit her lip and smiled: "Just now, my mother and I were discussing what the name should be if the baby is born."

Zhuge Qiao said without hesitation: "With the ambition to climb, move forward fearlessly. If you are a boy, you can name it Pan; Phoenix Qiuqiu has several wings and its sound is like a flute. There are phoenixes and phoenixes, the heart of a happy emperor. If you are a daughter, you can choose it. It’s called the heart.”

Huang Yueying took the package containing jujube cakes to Zhuge Qiao and said: "You love jujube cakes the most, so I have prepared more this time. The march is hard, eat when you need to eat on the way, sleep when you need to sleep, don't Always forgetting to eat and sleep."

"You and your father are both the same. They are always immersed in official duties and don't know how to take a break. You and your father are not the only ones who can do things in this world. Don't take all the responsibilities on yourself."

"Your father is stubborn and always doesn't listen to my advice. When you arrive in Hanzhong, remember to remind your father that you can't do everything in detail. With so many people under his command, there is always someone who can share the burden."

Zhuge Qiao listened quietly to Huang Yueying's chatter.

Some people may think that Huang Yueying is ignorant of the general situation and does not advise Zhuge and his son to focus on national affairs. Instead, they let the two shirk the blame when they should. But in Zhuge Qiao's eyes, Huang Yueying is simply worried about her husband and son.

The battlefield is dangerous.

A wise man like Pang Tong would be accidentally killed by a stray arrow; a brave man like Zhou Lang would be wounded by a stray arrow; a brave man like Guan Yu would almost die from a poisonous arrow.

Who can guarantee that you will survive on the battlefield?
Guan Feng asked the maid to bring food and drinks again.

Zhuge Qiao swallowed while listening to Huang Yueying and Guan Feng's instructions.

After a while.

Zhuge Qiao put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up to say goodbye: "Mom, madam, don't worry about me. This is not my first time on the battlefield. When the cold wind of winter comes, I will return with my father."

Parting is always sad.

However, in troubled times, many things are beyond our control.

Zhuge Qiao still has a family in Chengdu, which is a blessing that thousands of people can only dream of.

South City.

Standing against the wind is a large flag with two powerful characters "Feijun" on it!
When there is no precedent, the name is Feijun.

The five tribes of righteous warriors wore leather armor and were armed with spears, cane shields, iron tips, sharp axes, ring-headed knives and other weapons. They all carried bows and arrows on their backs, as well as darts, daggers, etc.

Ten people, Wang Ping, Zhang Yi, Yao Min, Gong Lu, Ma Zhong, Gufu, Liu Yin, Du Zhen, Liu Shen and Mi Zhao, were also dressed in the same attire.

Zhuge Qiao stood on the general platform wearing armor.

The genes of the Zhuge family coupled with a rich diet made Zhuge Qiao extremely strong. Even with armor on his body, he was no less capable of fighting than a fierce soldier.

"I don't like nonsense."

"It is my honor and your honor that you are willing to join the Feijun."

"I can't guarantee that I will bring you all back to Chengdu, but what I can guarantee is that I will not deliberately let you die, nor will I let your family be bullied."

"Let me ask you one last time: Is there anyone who wants to quit? If he quits now, I will allow him to disarm and return home; if anyone wants to quit after the expedition, he can only be considered a deserter."

The calm and steady voice whispered in the ears of the flying army.

No one in this group of high-spirited flying soldiers chose to quit.

This was not the first time Zhuge Qiao asked this.

To practice strength, the first priority is courage.

If there is no courage, no matter how powerful the tactics are, no matter how sophisticated the strategy is, it is meaningless. Even if you are ten times stronger than the enemy, you may be defeated by the enemy.

"war!"

"war!"

"war!"

Zhuge Qiao's response was only loud and powerful war roars.

Zhuge Qiao pressed down with his right hand, and all the flying troops stopped shouting.

"A good man keeps his promise. Once you have made your decision, you cannot regret it." Zhuge Qiao drew his sword and ordered: "The whole army marches to Hanzhong!"

Langzhong.

After receiving the order, Zhang Fei wiped the spear carefully.

Since Zhuojun followed Liu Bei in his southern and northern campaigns, Zhang Fei has now passed the threshold of his fifties.

Thirty is called Zhuang, forty is called Strong, and fifty is called Ai.

Even if he still refuses to obey his old age, Zhang Fei is now a veteran.

Unlike Guan Yu who was the sole leader in Jingzhou, although Zhang Fei was as brave as before, he was impatient and irritable and could not be a general but a commander.

Although Zhang Fei was not elected as the coach of the Northern Expedition, the current coach of the Northern Expedition is Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Fei is convinced.

"Father, it's time to dispatch the troops. The soldiers are all ready to go." Zhang Bao came from outside wearing armor.

In the past two years in the Langzhong military camp, Zhang Bao, the major general, has also lost his initial youthfulness. Although he is still a talkative person in private, Zhang Bao's behavior in the military camp has become increasingly stable.

With Zhuge Qiao's reminder, Zhang Bao's attitude towards Langzhong's generals was completely different from Zhang Fei's.

Zhang Fei had a bad temper and liked to whip his soldiers so that they would not dare to fight slackly out of fear.

Zhang Bao is different. Zhang Bao prefers to imitate Guan Yu and love his soldiers as his sons.

Although Zhang Bao could not change Zhang Fei's stubborn temper, the days in the military camp also made Zhang Fei's temper tempered a lot, and he was quite popular among the military officers and soldiers.

"Xingguo, how about you stay in Langzhong?" Zhang Fei suddenly stopped wiping his spear.

Zhang Bao was surprised and said: "Why do you say that, father? How can I be a timid person?"

Zhang Fei sighed: "This Northern Expedition is different from going to Shangyong. You haven't really experienced it on the battlefield. The cruelty of the battlefield is not what you can imagine now."

Zhang Bao said with a smile: "Why do you look down on me, my father? Since you have chosen to join the army, how can you be afraid of the cruelty of the battlefield? My father has never been afraid of being a soldier for half his life, so how can your child be afraid of danger?"

"Father, you don't have to worry about the Zhang family being cut off if the child makes a mistake on the battlefield. Shao Di is not good at martial arts and prefers literary work. He will definitely become a famous official in the future."

"Brother Shao is more suitable for inheriting the family business. As the elder brother, I still prefer to follow my father in the battlefield, killing generals and capturing flags."

Zhang Fei looked at the high-spirited Zhang Bao, as if he saw himself who had just followed Liu Bei in the battle.

a long time.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but shake his head: How could I be like a little girl?

"Since Xingguo is not afraid, we can't talk about hard work on the battlefield." Zhang Fei laughed loudly.

Similar scenes occurred in the homes of soldiers who were recruited.

The Northern Expedition was a gamble of life and death. If you win, you will become famous. If you die, your bones will be buried in a foreign land.

Luoyang.

After Cao Pi became emperor, he left Yecheng in the north and made Luoyang, the capital of the world.

Over the past six months, Cao Pi has become more and more accustomed to this new identity.

For Cao Pi, being the emperor was much more comfortable than being the heir apparent and the king of Wei.

Drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman, he wakes up and holds the power of the world.

Life is like this, what else can I ask for!
Compared to Cao Cao, Cao Pi's pursuit of beauty was even more extreme.

In addition to Zhen Mi from Yecheng, there are also two nobles, Guo Guibi, Li and Yin, as well as Liu Xie's two daughters!
How else could I say that your circle is in chaos!
Cao Pi's three sisters were Liu Xie's queens and nobles, and Liu Xie's two daughters became Cao Pi's nobles.

The only thing that made Cao Pi uncomfortable was that Zhen Mi in Yecheng complained more and more.

In particular, Guo Guipin slandered Cao Pi again, and Zhen Mi and Cao Zhi were suspected of having an affair. Cao Zhi often described Zhen Mi's beauty in his poems, which made Cao Pi feel extremely humiliated.

I don't know whether he was attracted by Guo Guifei's beauty, or whether Cao Pi was tired of Zhen Mi's old age and declining looks.

Yesterday, Cao Pi actually issued an edict to send an envoy to kill Zhen Mi.

He didn't think too much about whether giving Zhen Mi death would dissatisfy Cao Rui, who was named Duke of Qi.

but.

Cao Pi soon forgot about issuing the edict, as if he had just executed an irrelevant person.

This feeling of power that can determine life and death with just one word gave Cao Pi a sense of pleasure that he was the only one in the world.

Da da da.

The sound of rapid steps sounded.

The small yellow door in the palace came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, Sima Shizhong wishes to see you."

After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he first made Sima Yi the minister, and soon he was promoted to the governor of the army, censor Zhongcheng, and the title of Marquis of Anguo.

Because Taichang Huanjie was seriously ill, Cao Pi dismissed Sima Yi from the post of military governor and promoted Sima Yi to the position of minister and right servant of Shangshu. His position was second to Shangshu Ling Chen Qun.

"Zhongda is here, please come quickly!"

Cao Pi was very happy and asked Li Guiren beside him to step aside and come to greet Sima Yi in person.

Sima Yi looked slightly worried: "Your Majesty, there is a big event in Nanzhou."

Cao Pi didn't take it seriously: "Now that I am the emperor, I am powerful all over the world. The Han Dynasty has been destroyed, only Wei survives, and the rebel forces in the country who do not obey me have also been destroyed one after another."

"Liu Bei and Sun Quan are the only people in Nanzhou. I will capture and kill them sooner or later. Could they have caused some trouble?"

Sima Yi saw that Cao Pi was not very interested, so he said: "The spies reported that Liu Bei has ascended the throne in Chengdu and proclaimed himself emperor, and then established the country as Han and changed it to Yuan Zhangwu."
