The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 123
Qishan Daying
On the road from Yangpingguan to Qishan, a huge army of soldiers and horses is advancing rapidly, but we can't know what is going on from their flags. There is only one flag of Shu Han flying, and the other generals do not have their own designations. , seems to be hiding something, but it can be known that they are the army of the Shu Han.

And because of the avenue, they marched very fast, half a beat faster than Zhao Yun who was marching in Baoxie Valley; a white horse stood proudly in the army, and the one sitting on the horse was actually in Hanzhong Liu Bei, who swears to be a master, is full of vigor at this time with a double-pronged sword on his waist, as if he must win the battle and take the attack.

It turns out that this is the real army of the Shu Han, commanded by Liu Bei himself, ready to take the three counties of Longxi, Nan'an, and Tianshui by surprise, and then wait for the news of Chang'an; Army to the east, if Wei Yan fails, he will move his army to the west to take Liangzhou first, and then to Guanzhong.

At dusk, the army stopped and prepared to set up tents for camping tonight; Liu Bei also dismounted slowly and found a quiet place to rest. Less than three days away.

"Your Majesty, we will arrive at Qishan in less than three days. Once Qishan passes the army, it will be exposed to Wei's sight. The Wei army will also recover and mobilize the army to stop our army." Zhuge Qiao shook lightly Feather Fan slowly approached Liu Bei and said, but there was a little more joy in his eyes;
According to the report from the front: the Wei army is still mobilizing troops to go to Meiguo City to stop Zhao Yun, the [-] cavalry sent by Cao Pi's vanguard Zhang Jaw has arrived at Meiguo City, and the [-] troops of Wei General Cao Zhen are also rushing to Meiguo City on the way.

"I don't know what's going on with Zilong, but now he's facing several times as many elite soldiers as Cao Wei." Liu Bei didn't pay attention to his eyes, but was worried about Zhao Yun who praised Xiegu.

It was a helpless move to agree to Zhao Yun's proposal at the beginning, because Zhao Yun, as the general of the five tigers, was very prestigious in the Shu Han, and only by using him could Cao Wei be convinced, but this also put Zhao Yun's safety at risk, and how Can Liu Bei not worry.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. There is a place at the mouth of Baoxie Valley, called Fengming Mountain. Zilong only needs to retreat to Fengming Mountain. It is a strategic place that can be attacked and defended. Make it clear to Zilong, and Zilong is not a reckless person, so he will definitely have nothing to lose," Zhuge Liang said slowly, as if all this was under his control.

As soon as the words fell, Liu Bei was slightly relieved.

"Your Majesty, I'm only worried about one thing now," Zhuge Liang said slowly, shaking his feather fan lightly.

"What is the military adviser worried about?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

"The 200 soldiers led by Wei Yan, the governor of Pingbei, are always worried that they will be plotted by the Wei army; after all, the Ziwu Valley is too dangerous, and Chang'an City is not an ordinary county city, but the capital of the Han Dynasty for nearly [-] years. Thick, let alone [-] soldiers, even a [-] army may not be able to take Chang'an City." Zhuge Liang said with some frustration, and the Chang'an City Wall was as tall and thick as Zhuge Liang said.

"Doesn't the military adviser believe in his son Bosong?" Liu Bei said jokingly,

"Surprise attack on Chang'an City is nothing but trifling matter. Bo Song has too little experience in the world. I just hope this time I can let him know that on the battlefield, he must think twice before acting alone." Zhuge Liang sighed, as if he had never trusted Zhuge Qiao's ability. It was as if he had never trusted Wei Yan, but now the two people he had never trusted had come together, and their routes were definitely different from his.

Listening to Zhuge Liang's sigh, Liu Bei didn't answer, because he knew that Zhuge Qiao would not let him down, just like the battle of Jingzhou, and like the military parade in Chengdu, it would definitely bring him an unexpected ending.

The army has already set up the camp, because on their own territory, everything is not arranged according to the so-called formation, but the sentinels are placed far away to prevent accidents.

At this time, there were a total of 17 troops stationed in the Shuhan camp, but the arms were not the same as before the military parade.Under Zhuge Liang's proposal, Liu Bei transferred five thousand new Han troops, trained the Zhuge Liannu developed by Huang Yueying, and formed a five thousand Liannu army to deal with Wei's excellent cavalry, and was named "Liannushi"; Pu Yuan, an outstanding weapon forging master, specially made [-] swords for Liu Bei to equip the military, while Liu Bei drew out the most elite [-] Jingzhou troops to carry out training with Pu Yuan swords, and was named "Mage Sword Soldiers" .

This large army was inspired by the banner of death sent by the old man when he took the oath, and because of Zhuge Qiao's deliberately spread "March in the Army" spread in Yizhou, "Being a centurion is better than being a scholar." It has penetrated into the hearts of the people; and with Liu Bei, the hero of this era, personally marching, and a military division known as Crouching Dragon who advises and advises, this army now has the momentum of not breaking Chang'an and never returning.

The army continued to move forward, and finally arrived at the first destination of the expedition, "Qishan" after three days; although Qishan is said to be Zhuge Liang's sad place, it belongs to history, and perhaps it is not the case for Liu Bei.

On the day of arriving at Qishan, the army began to set up camp under Zhuge Liang's arrangement. Qishan is different from Shudi. It is already the border of Han and Wei. camp.

The big tent of the Chinese army was slowly raised; Liu Bei gathered all the senior generals who accompanied the army to discuss the next march policy.

"Brother, tell me, Lao Zhang, if you give me [-] soldiers, as long as [-] soldiers, I, Lao Zhang, will definitely attack the entire county of Longxi." Before Liu Bei could open his mouth, Zhang Fei jumped out, drooling.

In fact, Zhang Fei is no longer the stunned young man he was at the beginning; and the [-] soldiers he just said to take Longxi Quanjing did not contain any exaggeration, because the total number of troops that can be mobilized in Yongzhou is only [-]. , the rest are just ordinary county soldiers.

Longxi County is close to the Qiang people, and also close to the Shu Han; there are only [-] soldiers in the county, and it is reasonable for Zhang Fei to use [-] soldiers to capture it.

"Don't worry about Yide, the military adviser has already assigned subordinates, let's listen to the military adviser's advice," Liu Bei persuaded helplessly, and then set his sights on Zhuge Liang.

"Our army is sending out troops at this time, with the intention of taking them by surprise. Now General Zilong has captured most of the Wei army in Baoxie Valley. What is placed in front of our army is the unsuspecting Yongzhou; but the opportunity is fleeting, our army must Quick battle and quick decision, we can't let Wei Jun slow down,,,"

"Military teacher, hurry up and assign tasks." Zhang Fei interrupted Zhuge Liang before he finished speaking, and another burst of foam flew from his mouth.

["Pu Yuan Biography" said: Pu Yuan was born with many whimsical ideas.When he was in Xiegu, he cast three thousand sabers for Zhuge Liang's troops.After the knife was finished, he said that the Han water is soft water and cannot be used for quenching (one of the manufacturing processes); the water in the Shu River is hard water, which is the essence of metal.This distinction is divinely ordained.So he sent people to Chengdu to fetch water from the river. (After returning) Pu Yuan took back the water quenching knife and said that it was mixed with Fujiang River water, which was not suitable for quenching knives.The person who fetched the water insisted that no other water was mixed, so Pu Yuan scratched the water with a knife and said that eight liters of Fujiang River water had been mixed in it.After hearing this, the person who fetched the water kowtowed and said that when he reached the edge of the Fujiang River, he overturned the water.So I added eight liters of Fujiang River water on the spot. 】
