Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 424 Juicy Zhuge Liang

Outside Yangping Pass.

Ma Renyu and Kang meet again and stand side by side.

Watching Yangping close the Shu soldiers who couldn't stop shooting arrows and setting fire.

Kang Zaiyu frowned, shook his head and said, "These bastards are really good at our own people."

Ma Renyu was not surprised at all. He was ordered to guard Fengzhou, which was next to the Hanzhong Plain, and he often dealt with the people of Shu.

He is very familiar with the situation in Shu, the officials in Shu are all greedy, and the soldiers in Shu have no fighting spirit.That is to say, the road to Shu is steep, and many passes will become the hard bones of entering Shu, just like the Yangping Pass in front of us.

Yangping Guan leans against Jigong Mountain in the south and Jialing River in the north, so the terrain is extremely dangerous.It can enter Sichuan in the south, Lueyang in the north, Yinping in Longnan in the west, and Hanzhong in the east.

During the Three Kingdoms period, it was an important military town.

Now it is also the only way to enter the Hanzhong Plain.

Luo Youdu was reminded by Zhao Jizha that he first noticed Meng Shu's sinister intentions, and deliberately sent Xue Juzheng into Shu, and even pretended to attack the Southern Han Dynasty. The Wei army entered the mountains near Fengzhou to stand by, waiting for Wang Zhaoyuan, the "Zhuge Liang", to attack.

According to Luo Youdu's plan, it was to cut off the enemy's rear and annihilate the incoming Shu soldiers, so as to consume the troops of Shu and make it easier for their army to enter Shu.

But when Ma Renyu learned about the situation, he gave a different idea.

As Wang Zhaoyuan investigated, Ma Renyu did not know a single big character.

Even now, Ma Renyu can't read more than a hundred big characters, so he can write names smoothly.

Usually official documents need the assistance of staff and aides to understand and read clearly.

But only a fool like Wang Zhaoyuan dared to underestimate the generals of this era who crawled out of the battlefield with a knife and a gun.

Ma Renyu, a rogue and a ruffian, reached the position of governor, which was obtained in exchange for his experience in many battles.

He was indeed illiterate, but the experience he had accumulated in life-and-death fights and the level of tactics he honed would not lose to any generals with professional background.

He thought that the combat effectiveness of the Shu soldiers was low, and it was absolutely impossible for them to be opponents of the Central Plains Hundred Wars Division in a head-to-head confrontation.

To annihilate Wang Zhaoyuan's army, it is better to use his army to break through Pingyang Pass.

In his opinion, defeating [-] to [-] Shu soldiers is far easier than attacking Pingyang Pass.

Luo Youdu didn't know how the soldiers of Shu degenerated, but Pingyang Pass was steep, and he had seen it with his own eyes back then.

He chose to believe in Ma Renyu's judgment.

After all, he personally arranged for Ma Renyu to be the governor of Fengzhou, and he did not stick to his original plan.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield changed.

Facing the crowd of Shu soldiers under the Pingyang Pass, Wang Zhaoyuan shot arrows and set fire at the Shu soldiers inhumanely, intending to drive back the Shu soldiers who were crowded into the pass so that they could take advantage of the mechanism to go to the pass.

But how could Ma Renyu and Kang Zaiyu give him this chance?
The well-trained soldiers squeezed the living space of the Shu soldiers step by step, forcing them to flee to Pingyang Pass.

Facing his robes, it would be fine to kill one person, two people, and ten people...

But if the Shu soldiers on the city tower slaughtered their own people by hundreds, no one could stand it.

The soldiers who crowded into the pass city naturally did not dare to rebel, but they were already chilled and ran for their lives.

The morale of the guards on the Guancheng collapsed by themselves as they continued to slaughter their own people, and they fled together.

Seeing this, Wang Zhaoyuan's psychological defense immediately collapsed, and he retreated without saying a word.

He originally wanted to escape quietly on his own horse, but found that his mount had already been taken away by others, and more than half of his personal guards also ran away.

There are only a dozen or so people left, and they are uncertain about each other, and they are also thinking about whether to run away.

Under such circumstances, Ma Renyu and Kang Zaiyu took down Yangping Pass without any effort.

After capturing Yangping Pass, Ma Renyu and Kang Zaiyu immediately split into two groups.

Ma Renyu led his troops to chase down the Shu soldiers, and Kang Zaiyu directly led the troops to Xingyuan Mansion.

Xingyuan Mansion is also a place in Hanzhong during the Three Kingdoms period...

Ma Renyu knew that these Shu deserters would probably be recruited after returning to Shu, and become an army against them again.

Therefore, they will never be merciless when hunting down, unless they surrender and wait for capture...

This way of slashing and killing was like chopping melons and vegetables. The defeated Shu soldiers were almost like lambs, they knew how to flee and didn't have the courage to fight back.

Faced with Ma Renyu's frenzied pursuit, Wang Zhaoyuan lost three souls on his head and six souls under his feet. He no longer had the slightest intention of resisting, so he wanted to run to Chengdu...

He ran to Chengdu in one breath, and then retreated.

But he is a scholar, how can he compare with soldiers when it comes to physical strength?
His personal guard saw Wang Zhaoyuan, a burden like a dead dog, slumped on the ground, and said brazenly: "I really can't run anymore, whoever runs behind my back can just find me a horse..."

Looking at each other, they left him at the same time.

Wang Zhaoyuan yelled angrily. Hearing the shouts behind him, the desire to survive took over his mind.

At this moment, he didn't care about his style, and ran forward even scrambling.

Following a strong force, Wang Zhaoyuan rolled into the nearby ditch and passed out.

Just like this, Wang Zhaoyuan escaped by luck.

When Wang Zhaoyuan woke up, he saw a mess around him, and there were no traces of Central Plains soldiers or Shu soldiers. He was overjoyed and ran to the southwest.

Wang Zhaoyuan was arrogant and conceited, almost stupid, but his knowledge was unquestionable. He almost knew the geography of Shu by heart. Looking at the situation around him, after a little thought, he thought that there was a village called Wudang Village nearby.

It is said that Zhuge Liang was stationed in Hanzhong in the early years, and the Wudang Flying Army was stationed here, hence the name.

Tired and hungry, Wang Zhaoyuan ran to Wudang Village and saw that every house in the village was closed, but he was not harmed by the war.

He didn't care about so many, knocked on the door of a family at the entrance of the village, and knocked for a long time, but no one responded.

I knocked a few more times, but still no one answered.

Wang Zhaoyuan thought for a while and walked straight to the village. He saw a large square in the village and a big bell at the door of a nearby house. He was overjoyed and knew that this must be the place where the village chief lived.

He knocked on the door vigorously, but seeing that there was still no answer, he said, "My next prime minister, Wang Zhaoyuan, pays my respects..."

His reputation is really useful, before he finished speaking, the door opened.

Wang Zhaoyuan was about to speak again.

A young man rushed out of the room, and Wang Zhaoyuan fell to the ground with a rolling pin in his hand.

The young man spat at Wang Zhaoyuan who was on the ground, and scolded, "How can you compare yourself to the prime minister?"

Among other things, Zhuge Liang's prestige in Shu is incomparable.

"Father, it's these bastards who caused our village to sell our sons and daughters in order to make ends meet. The boy tied him up and asked General Ma to receive his reward?"

The young man named Liao Kai is the son of the village head of Wudang Village. Half a day ago, Ma Renyu's army entourage came to Wudang Village in person, found the village head, explained the situation to them, and emphasized that the entry of the Central Plains army is only for the world. Unification has no intention of harming or disturbing the people.

The defeated soldiers of Shu land scattered all over the country. If the defeated soldiers of Shu attacked in the village, they could go to the military camp for help.

If you find the Central Plains soldiers looting, you can also go to the military camp to complain.

Regardless of whether it can be done or not, the Central Plains Army has already shown its sincerity by sending military officials to notify.

Compared with the Shu officials who didn't care about their life and death, the Central Plains preconceptions left a good impression on them.

Wang Zhaoyuan woke up leisurely, looked around, and found himself in a military tent.

There was no one inside the tent, but outside the tent stood six neatly armored soldiers. Judging from their attire, they were soldiers from the Central Plains.

Wang Zhaoyuan understood his situation in an instant. Thinking of the rolling pin of the young man, he felt sad, and thought to himself: "I have been familiar with military books since I was a child. I don't want to be defeated by an illiterate reckless man, and I am ashamed to be captured by a foolish villager." Sharen also..."

Thinking of this sad place, he burst into tears.

Tears are falling like rain...

Ma Renxuan strode into the tent, looked at Wang Zhaoyuan who was sobbing, was startled, and said a famous saying through the ages: "This Zhuge Liang has juice!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter around.

Wang Zhaoyuan blushed even more with anger, wishing to learn the ostrich's ability to bury its head in the ground.

Zhuge Liang with juice, also following Wang Zhaoyuan's disastrous defeat, spread throughout Bashu and the world...

Meng Xuanzhe, who is far away in Chengdu, is indeed much better than Meng Chang.

Young and energetic, he changed the bad governance that Meng Chang was not good at for a long time.

Facing the imperial court every day, he conscientiously handled the government affairs in Sichuan and Sichuan.

He summoned officials and prime ministers continuously every day, wanting to change the many malpractices left by Meng Chang and preparing for a drastic reform.

But the Sichuan and Shu courts have long been rotten to the bone, and all high-ranking officials are not greedy.

It's not that there are no upright officials in Shu, it's that the style of upright officials can't satisfy Meng Chang's luxurious life.

It is impossible for Meng Chang to let this kind of person stay in the court, he has long been relegated to a barbarian land to deal with the mountain people.

This has been going on for a long time, and a huge chain of interests has been formed among officials.

Meng Xuanzhe's desire to break this chain of interests with the courage of his blood is undoubtedly a dream.

All the prime ministers and officials who took a lot of money all fooled Meng Xuanzhe as a fool.

Meng Xuanzhe never tired of it, he thought that because he was not greedy, he was better than his father Meng Chang.

But in fact, the big head that was originally given to Meng Chang has now all fallen into the hands of temple officials.

Moths with corpses and vegetarian meals, how can they care about the lives of the people.

His set of brand new decrees further increased the burden on the people.

Meng Xuanzhe got up to work at four o'clock, and didn't stop to rest until dusk, looking at the memorials he had dealt with.

The new ruler of Sichuan and Shu thought to himself that they all said that Luo Youdu, the emperor of the Central Plains, was diligent in governing the country, handling state affairs every day until Shenshi.Compared with yourself, what is it?
Just wait for the news that the master enters the pass, and the world shakes.

Let the world know that Meng Xuanzhe in Chuanshu is no worse than Luo Youdu.

Meng Xuanzhe was eager to hear the news of Wang Zhaoyuan's triumphant return...

It wasn't until Zhao Chongtao, the guard of Jianmen Gate, that Wang Zhaoyuan was defeated across the board, Yangping Pass was lost, Xingyuan Mansion was acquired by the Central Plains, and Wang Zhaoyuan's whereabouts were unknown.

Meng Xuanzhe was completely dumbfounded.

impossible!
impossible!
Mr. Zhuge Liang is the contemporary Zhuge Liang, how could he be defeated...

Still defeated so completely!
But he didn't know that this Zhuge Liang had juice...

　Thank you Shuyou Wei, Lord Shu Guang, for your reward, thank you for your support!
