Shu Chen

Chapter 62
Late spring in March, Chengdu.

The sky is beautiful, the sky is clear, and the sun is neither warm nor dry.

In the barracks east of the city, flags and flags of all shapes and sizes were hunting in the wind, drums and drums arguing from far and near, and vigorous soldiers of various ministries, under the attention and encouragement of the officials and the common people, filed out and went south.

After a while, in the dust, a covered car slowly came out.

The first is the golden yakuza leading the way, the front and rear guards are all advocated by Yu Bao, and there are [-] majestic imperial guards guarding the tiger ben.

The person on the frame is slender, sitting upright, with half-closed eyebrows, solemn and majestic.

"Long live!"

"Big Han mighty!"

With the frame slowly heading south, the excitement of the crowd suddenly burst out.

The sound of mountains and tsunamis, rolling up and down, shook the dust off the houses, stirred up ripples in the Zouma River, and rippled the reflection of grass smoke on the riverside that had long been spring.

The hope of the recovery of all things in spring is swaggering proudly.

The ambition to revive the Han Dynasty, which has been sought in the past night, has also accumulated and overflowed.

Today, it is the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, swearing to go out on an expedition, and personally lead the army to the south to fight against the officials!
After the emperor Liu Bei made his big trip, he was dormant for nearly three years, and finally took the first step to revive the great Han!
The division of the Southern Expedition was divided into three divisions, each of which pointed to Yueqi County, Yizhou County and Hengjian County.

Among them, the main force of the [-]-strong army is the leader of the prime minister, who is attacking Gaoding, the king of Yueyi Yi, who has repeatedly disturbed Nanzhong and Shu!

Yizhou County was headed by Li Hui, the commander-in-chief of Yujiang, with nearly [-] troops.

The number of troops is different, and the responsibilities are also different.

The strategic purpose of Li Hui was to invade Yizhou County and contain the forces of Yong Kai, the thief, so that he could not connect with Gaoding.

Ma Zhong, on the other hand, could capture the county seat of Qielan County and declare the authority of the imperial court.

As for the rest of the matter, the two divisions acted according to the circumstances.

If you can negotiate, you will ask for it; if you can't negotiate, just stick to it and wait for the Prime Minister to push it all the way, and good news will be spread frequently.

However, Ma Zhong, the prefect of the slaughterhouse who was bumping on horseback, had a tinge of hope in his heart.

Five days ago, he waited until the prime minister sent over [-] troops dispatched by him. After a few days of rest, he left the place where the thief Zhu Bao was stationed at the dangerous pass between Guangtan County and Qielan County.

Originally, he could first divide his troops and send the other troops to the east, first occupying the county where there were few rebel troops stationed there, and then waiting for the troops to go south to Qielan, threatening Zhu Bao's rear, forcing Zhu Bao to abandon the dangerous pass and escape to the south. Then enter and Lan.

In this way, the Prime Minister's order can be completed.

However, he still defied all opinions, leaving only a few soldiers and horses stationed in Pingyi County to maintain law and order and the terraced fields, and then all the way to the south, the big and powerful army marched south, attacking the narrow pass.

It seems that he is very ambitious, and he does not hesitate to attack the dangerous pass with the lives of his soldiers, and it is decided that he wants to fight the rebels.

In fact, they were creating an opportunity to ambush and kill Zhu Bao for Zheng Pu and others who had long since gone south.

However, he still recognized it after all, and Zheng Pu alone went deep into the danger.

It is not that Zheng Pu's words of "the Northern Expedition against Wei Wei and the restoration of the Central Plains are already waiting for the day, and there is no need to spend time in Nanzhong", nor is it excited by the generous elegy of "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger's son."

If he was someone who could be easily moved by his lips, the Prime Minister would not hold him so highly.

In fact, the first time Zheng Pu sent a letter to ask for his life, he refused.

The second time Zheng Pu came in person, he asked for a fight, but he still refused, and sent him back to continue to urge the hungry people to start the spring ploughing.

Of course, on the third day, he invited Zheng Pu back.

After a careful exhortation, he promised this dangerous plan to go deep behind the enemy.

The reason is that Yong Kai died.

Very hilarious way to die: infighting.

When the prime minister personally led an army to the south to crusade against the ministers, word of mouth spread. Yong Kai, who together besieged Yongchang County, and Gao Ding, the king of Yueyi Yi, broke out into a dispute, and each raised his eyebrows and pointed angrily.

The trilogy of Gao Ding, the king of Yueshangyi, will be executed by Yong Kai.

things are quite surprising.

The war is approaching, and allies are killed by internal strife.

But if you understand the reasons carefully, you will feel that this is inevitable.

Yong Kai first advocated rebellion and rebellion, and although Gao Ding, the king of Yueshangyi, raised troops and rebelled many times over the years, this joint uprising was deceived by Yong Kai.

Due to the incomprehensible language and customs, Yizhou often chooses to use the surname of Nanren as an intermediary to spread news on behalf of the barbarian tribes in Nanzhong County.Yong Kai wanted to rebel, so he sent a Southerner who was from a large Southern clan and was always served by the Han and barbarians. He sent a letter to Gaoding, the king of Yueshang barbarians, claiming that in order to make up for the lack of Yiling's defeat, the court had to reconquer many extra supplies. .

The first batch consisted of [-] white-haired black dogs without chests (for sacrifices to the dead and souls and others) and [-] giant trees of [-] feet (for shipbuilding and Yongan Palace).

When Gao Ding, the King of Yueshangyi heard this, he immediately burst into anger and roared like thunder.

Not to mention that black dogs seldom have chests without white hair, and the wood that builds the boat is no more than two feet long, so why does it need to be three feet long?

And, there are so many!

How can we gather all the evil!
As for the other small tribes with the same spirit, all the elders and clan chiefs came angrily, roaring to ask Gao Ding to be the master, calling on all the tribes to fight against the government's exploitation.

Therefore, Gao Ding, the king of Yueshangyi, followed his good deeds and made a blood alliance with Yongkai.

Later, Yong Kai was appointed by Sun Quanyao of Eastern Wu as the prefect of Yongchang, but the court did not send troops to ask for it.

During this period, Yong Kai's deceit was exposed.

Although the King of Yueshang Yi was furious, he couldn't make peace in it, and Yong Kai promised to capture Yongchang County and grant money, so he had no choice but to cherish it.

Of course, things took a turn for the worse.

The siege of Yongchang County lasted for more than a year, without an inch of land and no cloth.

Today, the Prime Minister personally leads troops to attack!

Moreover, it is a large army and a front, pointing directly at Yueqi County!
In this situation, the King of Yueyi Yi was so determined, how could he be able to hold back any longer?
A fierce conflict broke out with Yong Kai, and the trilogy handed Yong Kai to the big tent.

What is thought-provoking is that Yong Kai's followers were not in turmoil, nor did they wave their swords at King Yi Gao Ding.

Instead, he quickly selected a new leader and formed an alliance with Gao Ding again.

The new leader was the lobbyist who had always been convinced by Han Yi.

Therefore, whether Gao Ding's rage caused the people to kill Yong Kai was to vent his own anger, or whether it was secretly instigated by the new leader, it is impossible to find out.

Well, the new leader, Meng Clan, one of the eight surnames of the Southerners, called Meng Huo.

But it was not Zhu Timeng, but the Meng clan of Yizhou County.

Naturally, Ma Zhong was not interested in the connection between the Meng clan in Yizhou County and the Zhuti Meng clan.

However, he heard from the local officials that Meng Huo had a high prestige in the counties in the south and middle of the south, and there were countless dead people who were willing to serve him.

Therefore, I was worried. If Zhu Bao's power declined and he sent people to draw Meng Huo as aid, I'm afraid that the southern counties in the county would be difficult to pacify!
After thinking about it like this, only then did Zheng Pu agree to take risks.

However, approval is not an unanimous approval.

Ma Zhong pondered for a while, then deepened Zheng Pu's solitary army and changed it slightly.

After he planned to break through the narrow pass that Zhu Bao was guarding, he dispatched a force of two thousand soldiers to follow him in pursuit.

In this way, when the thief Zhu Baobing retreats to the south, he can put a large number of troops in the rear, and put his vigilance on the chasing soldiers; he can also wait for Zheng Pu and others to ambush and serve as backup.

If Zheng Pu and others can kill Zhu Bao in one fell swoop, the subsequent soldiers can respond to them, deter them from accepting surrender, or something else.

If Zheng Pu and others miss, they will become reinforcements, lest they be wiped out.

Get the best of both worlds.

On a deeper level, Ma Zhongjiu was working in the prime minister's mansion, and he also realized something: the prime minister was very talented in Qiqi and Zheng Pu, and he deliberately cultivated and trained him, hoping that he could grow into a powerful city in the country.

In this way, can he safely not arrange backhands, so that Zheng Pu will not be damaged by Nanzhongxie?

Naturally, preventing Zheng Pu from participating in the ambush strategy would better ensure safety.

Of course, Ma Zhong persuaded him several times, and finally realized why the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang would assert that this son's temperament was rather stubborn.

This kid, first of all righteousness and awe-inspiring claim to serve the country, should not count his death!

Immediately, he used benevolence and righteousness to assert his rationale, claiming that he came up with the plan to go deep into the tiger's den.
Once again, it is to take the trouble to ask for your life.

He claimed that he was a servant of Qiya's house, but he was born in the Tanhuo area and knew the topography of the southern part of the county.But his nature is quite stubborn, if he didn't go, he would rather die than go to Qiya Cuo!

With such a faintly despicable means of coercing Shangguan, how dare you take action!

At that time, when Ma Zhong heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, his eyes flashing coldly.

Almost couldn't hold back, summoned a soldier to lead this son out, and punished it with military law!

However, in the end, looking at his dedication to the public, it still shows that the superior should have the capacity to tolerate others.

It was too much trouble, so he drove him to find a sentence to help him.

Ok,
Due to the geography of the county and the dense environment of snakes and insects, it was decided that only the savage barbarians who climbed over the mountains and mountains like walking on the ground would be able to rush all the way and still have the spare strength to rush to the formation.

In Ma Zhongjun, except for himself, there are few generals who can convince Ban Zhenman.

Jufu is one of the few.

However, for some reason, after Zheng Pu was allowed to participate, Ma Zhong even made him the governor general, while Ju Fu and Liu Yin became deputies instead.

test?

Or just trust me?

Zheng Pu, who received the order, looked at the [-] carefully selected barbarians, and was puzzled in his heart.

But soon, he forgot about it, and let Jufu and Liu Yin lead them separately, and ordered Qi Yacuo to lead the scouts to explore the road first, and then set foot on the road south.

Time was running out, and they had to travel a lot to get to the ambush.

The best way to walk is the valley where the water flows through the mountain range.

From Pingyi County, go down along the Yanjiang River, go upstream on the Han River (Sancha River), go west, and enter the territory of Yelang County; then turn over the mountain tomb, follow the Beipan River to the south, and find it and the Nanpan River (warm water) The place where the confluence forms the river water is the best ambush location.

Because if the thief Zhu Bao wanted to go south to Juding County, he would have to pass here.

Moreover, this is already in the east of Tanzhi County, which belongs to the southern part of Zhu Bao.

　Thanks to the book friend "new sprayer" for the reward.
