Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 473 Getting Lost and Leading the Way

Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Wu Yi could all understand that it was Zhuge Liang's routine operation to leave things behind.

"Because this is a surprise attack, Wudu's defense must be lax. You can capture Xiabian by surprise. Wudu's food storage should be all here. Standing in the city, you can fight around the city. Defending the city is easier than siege." Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Fei and ordered.

Zhang Fei nodded his head, "I see, the first step is to occupy the defense city."

Zhuge Liang said again: "Once Wudu is in an emergency, Cao Cao will definitely send troops to rescue. Whether it is the garrison in Hanzhong or the Cao soldiers in Chang'an, they should mainly enter from the Chencang Road in the northeast, but the Qishan Road in the northwest is also unavoidable. If the army circles around and forms a siege, then Xiabian City will be in dire straits, so we need to send more scouts to investigate everywhere."

"I know this. Ziyu said in the lecture hall that intelligence is the first priority in war." Zhang Fei agreed.

Zhuge Liangliang nodded, "It seems that Yide is gradually being able to use strategy, and it has a lot to do with the martial arts hall. Next, let me talk about the method of choosing a place to go to the village when encountering in the wild."

Liu Bei was afraid that Zhuge Liang had said too much, and the generals in front of him couldn't remember at all, so he interrupted: "Military master, let the third brother adapt to the situation. The so-called water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent. As long as Dang Qu dealt with Zhang Yun, it should be done." It won't hurt too much."

"My lord is right, let's set off immediately." Zhuge Liang nodded.

In November of the 22nd year of Jian'an, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Wu Yi combined [-] troops out of Baishui Pass, followed the Jinniu Road to the north for dozens of miles, and then turned to the mountains on the left.

The cold wind howled in the mountains, and the rain was icy cold.

Zhang Fei's soldiers shuttled between the mountains, looking down like ants in the sky.

As the guide of the army, Lei Tong walked in the front with a sheepskin map. Since he had not walked this road himself, he led the army for half a month, but he always detoured around several mountains.

Zhang Fei immediately called Wu Yi to ask, "Isn't General Lei from Di? You don't even know the way home?"

Wu Yi panted heavily with embarrassment written on his face, "There are often torrents and mudstones falling in the mountains, and the records on the old road maps are not very accurate, so..."

Zhang Fei was very contemptuous when he heard this, and he said that he didn't understand it, so he came here to ask for merit in a hurry. Do you really think that following me can easily get military merit?He called Ma Chao from the rear army and said: "Meng Qi, I remember that when you entered Shu from Hanzhong, you also came from the trail of the Di tribe. Why don't you guide the whole army?"

"Then I'll try my best." Ma Chao nodded in agreement.

When starting out, Zhang Fei arranged for him to break up and let Wu Yi, the rebellious general, lead the way, but Zhang Fei didn't allow it to go on like this, because he didn't have much food and grass. panic.

Ma Chao's sense of direction and judgment is obviously stronger than that of Lei Tong. After he circled the mountains with tens of thousands of troops for a few days, he miraculously entered the Judao section of Chencang Road.

When the army was resting by the river, Zhang Fei had a whim and asked, "It's not too far from Yangping Pass for the martial arts competition. Why don't we take Yangping Pass by surprise? My brother can also drive straight into Hanzhong."

"No, general. The terrain of Yangping Pass is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Cao's army of [-] soldiers was blocked outside for several months, so it is better to attack and occupy the city."

Ma Chao is familiar with Hanzhong's defense, and now this lone army has no supplies at all, and attacking Yangping Pass is tantamount to courting death.

"Eh, let's attack and argue? There is not much food left." Wu Yi reminded.

Zhang Fei frowned, "I also know that Yangping Pass can't be beaten. Didn't I want to test you? I walked in the mountains for half a month, otherwise we would have been eating meat and drinking in Xiabian."

Wu Yi was speechless. Although Zhang Fei saved him enough face, he always felt that his face was hot.

After a brief rest and supply, the army continued to go northward. They bypassed Ju County and went straight to the seat of Wudu County.

Wudu County is located in the south of the Wei River, west of the Gudao River, and east of the Xihan River in the Qinling Mountains. The ten counties under its jurisdiction are mostly built on the basis of high mountains and valleys. The administrative office is located in the center of Wudu County, which is Huicheng core area of ​​the plain.

When dust rolled up on the Huicheng Plain, the defenders of Xiabian knew that the enemy had invaded. When the prefect Yang Fu heard the news, he went up to the tower and looked at it. He saw yellow sand all over the sky and countless troops.

"Where did the soldiers and horses come from? The marching direction seems to be coming from Yangping Pass. Could it be that there is another rebellion in Longyou? General Miaocai wants to lead troops to suppress the rebellion?" Yang Fu frowned and guessed.

City Defense Zhonglang General Bai Qi said: "I have sent General Qin An to lead the troops to investigate, and I believe news will come back soon."

After a while, the scouts came to report, "General Qin was thrown off his horse with a spear before he could announce his name, and the opponent's flag seems to be the word Zhang."

Yang Fu frowned and asked, "Who are the generals surnamed Zhang in Hanzhong?"

"Could it be Zhang Yun?" Bai Qi asked hesitantly.

"Shouldn't it? General Zhang is the favorite general of King Wei, how could he attack Xiabian for no reason?" Yang Fu shook his head.

"Can you see the appearance of the enemy general?" Bai Qi asked the scout again.

The scout replied: "That man has a leopard head with ring eyes, and a black face with a beard and a black face, he is truly terrifying."

Bai Qi scratched his head and said to himself: "Why is this appearance so familiar?"

At this time, Zhang Fei led the army and approached the south gate of the city. He pointed Qin An's helmet with a zhangba snake spear and shouted: "Listen, people in the city, surrender the city quickly, or Shaoqing City will be destroyed."

"See if it's that person." Yang Fu pointed at Zhang Fei and asked.

"That's right, that's him." The scout nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Bai Qi yelled at Zhang Fei: "Where do you bastards dare to invade the country? Doing it without waiting for a name is a bit disrespectful of martial arts."

Zhang Fei sneered and said, "Can you be a general with just that bit of martial arts? He doesn't deserve to know my name."

"Hei Si, don't be arrogant, wait for me to go down and cut off your dog's head." Bai Qi was furious.

"Then come down quickly, I just didn't have a good time." Zhang Fei mocked Bai Qi.

Bai Qi turned around and strode down the tower. As soon as he reached the parapet wall, he bumped into a general. He took a closer look and found that it was his lieutenant general He Su.

"Why are you panicking?" Bai Qi angrily covered his nose.

He Su clasped his fists in apology and said, "General Bai, the east gate of Xiabian was attacked by the enemy."

Bai Qi immediately frowned, thinking that there are enemies in the east?He grabbed He Su's wrist and asked excitedly: "Where is the enemy from the east? Who is the leading general?

"It seems to be Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in Yizhou. The general who commanded the siege is named Wu Yi." He Su swallowed his saliva and replied.

Bai Qi asked in disbelief: "Wu Yi? Yizhou soldiers? Did they come from the sky?"

He Su shook his head violently. At this time, the scouts from the city came to report: "Machao of Xiliang is at the north gate, please send reinforcements quickly, two generals."

Bai Qi and He Su opened their eyes wide at the same time. The name Ma Chao was too familiar, and they walked quickly towards the direction of the prefect Yang Fu.
