Han Shimou

() It turned out that the two soldiers who held Xu Shu hostage were the dead soldiers under Zhuge Liang's command.Under Zhuge Liang's order, the two sneaked into the city by sneaking into the Tang army's remnants during the battle between the two armies today.But just before the two handed over the letter to Huang Zhong, they secretly reported to a Tang general that they saw Huang Zhongzheng discussing something furtively with someone.Seeing that Huang Zhong had a very close relationship with the Shu army, the general of the Tang Dynasty did not dare to neglect, so he quickly reported to Zhang Liao and Xu Shu.When the two heard it, they were half-believing and half-doubting, so they hurried over.Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao happened to see the document in Huang Zhong's hand, so he mistakenly thought that Huang Zhong was really collaborating with the enemy, and he was furious.

At this moment, accidents happened frequently.Huang Zhong couldn't argue for a while, just because he didn't know what to do.Suddenly, there was a loud cry of killing outside the city, and at this moment, Shu soldiers were coming from all directions.Hearing this, Zhang Liao's complexion changed again, his face was full of ferocity, and he stared at Huang Zhong, as if he wanted to swallow him alive, his steel teeth were so angry that they were about to be crushed, and he shouted angrily. ..

"Shu soldiers are approaching the city, what do you have to say, old thief!? I only hate the king for trusting you so much, but being betrayed by you like this!!"

Huang Zhong trembled all over, but stopped talking.If relying on Huang Zhong's martial arts and Xu Shu as a hostage to fight to the death, it is very possible to take advantage of the chaos to seize the city gate and welcome the Shu army into the city.Right now, Zhang Liao and others all believe that Huang Zhong is a traitor, if Huang Zhong does not resist, he will surely die.Zhuge Liang's strategy is extremely vicious, if Huang Zhongruo wants to survive, he has no choice.

However, Huang Zhong is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.Suddenly, Huang Zhong seemed to have made up his mind, and with a look of emotion on his face, he walked towards Zhang Liao and said in a concentrated voice. ..

"Huang has a clear conscience, if Wen Yuan doesn't believe it, I'll let you handle it!!"

Seeing Huang Zhong approaching, Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes, but secretly guarded against Huang Zhong's sudden attack.Seeing that Huang Zhong was about to approach, Zhang Liao yelled, raised his sword and slashed at Huang Zhong's head.Huang Zhong didn't dodge, and the sword was as fast as thunder, and it came to Huang Zhong's forehead in an instant.After all, Zhang Liao still couldn't make a cruel move, so he turned his sword abruptly.The sword flew across.At the juncture of life and death, Huang Zhong remained motionless, standing calmly and aboveboard.

Seeing that Zhang Liao's sharp sword was about to strike, the two dead men who were holding Xu Shu hostage were startled.At this moment, Xu Shu's eyes suddenly flashed brightly, his thin body, like a fish swimming, leaped back abruptly, his hands formed into palms, and he slapped and struck, like Tai Chi Liangyi.Actually knocked those two dead soldiers away in an instant.The surrounding soldiers rushed forward and subdued the two dead soldiers.It turned out that Xu Shu was already good at martial arts. Back then, he used to walk around the world with a sword, and in a fit of rage, beheaded the wicked for his friends. Later, he had to change his name to Shan Fu and escaped.After Xu Shu joined Wen Han, Wen Han even taught Tai Chi moves.Tai Chi is exquisite and profound, whether it is martial arts or formation, there are merits.Xu Shu once studied this deeply, and his understanding of Tai Chi far surpasses others.

Before leaving, Zhuge Liang also knew that Xu Shu was good at martial arts, so he told the two dead men to be extremely careful.But the scene just now was too thrilling.As soon as the two dead men lost their minds, they were immediately taken advantage of by Xu Shu.After Xu Shu dragged the danger, his expression was flat, so he turned his eyes to Huang Zhong, and said with cupped hands.

"General Huang is worthy of being a loyal man, and his action just now is enough to prove that the old general is utterly loyal. I don't know what is good or bad, and I hope that General Huang will forgive me!!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao frowned immediately, but thinking of Huang Zhong's fearless look when he chopped down with his sword just now, he also believed it a little bit, and quickly apologized.

"A certain reckless and ignorant, willing to accept the crime!!"

Huang Zhong moved his hand, without the slightest anger, he said calmly.

"Zhuge Kongming has always been treacherous and wise. He has repeatedly resorted to tricks and alienated me. You are eager to protect the country, how can you blame me.

At present, his army is approaching the city.I'll go there quickly, so as not to be taken advantage of by thieves! ! "

In Huang Zhong's eyes, state affairs should come first in everything.When Xu Shu saw it, he was filled with admiration in his heart, so he quickly taught the soldiers to put the two dead men in prison, and then, together with Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao and other generals, went to the north gate of the city to meet the enemy according to the soldiers' report.Zhuge Liang led General Pan Pingping and led the army to form a formation outside the northern city gate.Zhuge Liang frowned. According to the time he agreed, there should have been changes in the city long ago.But after nearly half an hour, there was still no movement in the city.Just when Zhuge Liang was suspicious, a group of people rushed to the place where the torches were densely packed in the city.The leading general is Huang Zhong.Huang Zhong's eyes were impressive, looking at Zhuge Liang under the city, he shouted sharply.

"Mr. Zhuge, your tricks have been seen through by us!! You have repeatedly harmed me and trapped me in injustice. This hatred is irreconcilable! If you are captured by me, you will definitely be crushed and ashes to vent my anger! hatred!!"

Huang Zhong's voice exploded like thunder, and Huang Zhong's clattering words seemed to be enveloped within a few miles around.Zhuge Liang's face changed continuously when he heard it, and finally he let out a long sigh and told the left and right sergeants to call Jin to withdraw.At this moment, there was a sudden sound of bowstrings on the city, and an arrow as fast as thunder, shot towards Zhuge Liang like an unattainable flying shadow in the dark night.Fortunately, Pan Ping was well prepared, and he turned the knife sharply.The arrow was so strong that it shot Pan Ping's weapon out of his hand.Zhuge Liang was startled, and fled quickly into the crowd.Huang Zhong shouted angrily, and fired several arrows, but only killed a few unimportant soldiers.With the sound of the Shu army's sound of gold, all the Shu soldiers withdrew one after another.

When it is dawn, the sun is rising.Someone came to report that the two dead men killed themselves by biting their tongues last night.Xu Shu heard that he quickly taught the soldier who reported last night to come, and then instructed the sergeant to move the bodies of the two dead soldiers.After identification, it was indeed the two dead men who misreported Huang Zhong and secretly discussed with others.In this way, the truth is revealed.Zhang Liao thought he had almost made a big mistake, regretted it too much, and pleaded guilty to Huang Zhong.Huang Zhong is also a large number, and he is not to blame. His broad mind has won the respect of the generals.

However, he said that Zhuge Liang's divorce plan failed, and it was delayed for nearly a month.The current war situation is urgent, and Zhuge Liang seems a little impatient.On that day, Zhuge Liang gathered the generals in the tent, his face was deep, and he spoke to the generals.

"At present, the enemy's estrangement plan has been seen through by the other army. Instead, the other army is united. It will undoubtedly be even more difficult to capture Nanzheng. Do you have any suggestions?"

As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, all the generals looked at each other in blank dismay.At this time, Zhang Fei attended and shouted angrily.

"I said earlier that there is no need to use this estrangement, it will take time. The military adviser has to insist on it! Now there is a lot of delay, so we should quickly gather the army and attack it with all our might. The small town of Nanzheng is within reach. !!"

Zhang Fei hadn't finished speaking, but Ma Dai hurriedly retorted.

"Impossible! Nanzheng City is heavily guarded and impregnable. If we attack it rashly, even if we can break through the city, we will have to lose our troops. In this way, once Wen Bufan recruits reinforcements to rescue him, how can we resist?!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei glared around and shouted through gritted teeth.

"You wait for everything to be delayed, and you are afraid to move forward. How can my second brother's great hatred be avenged!?"

Zhang Fei was like a wild horse running wild, his thunderous voice roared like a thunderbolt.The expressions of all the generals in the tent changed, Zhuge Liang's expression froze, he took the sword seal in his hand, and sternly reprimanded.

"The sword seal is here, who dares to be presumptuous!!?"

When Zhang Fei heard this, Yuyu couldn't get into a fit, he could only suppress his anger.Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes and sighed.

"The other army knows that we are eager to conquer the city. If we wait for the city to confuse ourselves, it will only be full of loopholes, and the other army will take advantage of it. Although our army has a large number of troops, but the other army holds the city and defends it. Zhengcheng in the south It is not a good strategy to attack it by force. If it is trapped, it will not only take time, but also because Nanzheng has enough food, it cannot be done. I want to win by surprise, but there is Xu Yuanzhi sitting in the city. Not inferior to me. Now that the war is delayed, it is really because Liang's talents are meager."

Zhuge Liang had a lot of worries. This outstanding man who was famous all over the world and was known as a man of wisdom who outwitted monsters, now seemed a bit lonely.When Zhang Fei saw it, he stopped talking, and suddenly seemed to lose his energy, he raised his head and sighed in his heart.

"Could it be that Heaven wants to destroy my Shu Kingdom!?"

Shu has few troops, and the situation of the battle is unknown.Zhuge Liang didn't dare to act rashly, so he stood still for the time being. It was another half a month before the Tang army confronted the Shu army in Nanzheng.Suddenly one day, a hurricane hit, and the sky was drowsy.Seeing this, Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, and suddenly smiled.

"There is no unparalleled road!! Nanzheng can be broken!!"

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, and quickly summoned Ma Dai and Pan Pingping to come and teach the way.When Ma Dai and Pan Ping heard this, their expressions changed continuously, and they were astonished as heavenly beings.It turned out that Zhuge Liang expected that there would be heavy rain five days later, so he instructed the two to go to the southeast of Nanzheng City on the Baihe River and build a dam, first to store water.When you wait, you have your own orders.The two of them knew that Zhuge Liang could watch the sky, so they had no doubts, and they followed orders to go.But he said that Zhang Fei was bored when he saw that the battle was difficult. Suddenly he saw several soldiers and horses moving in the village, and he was overjoyed, so he hurried to Zhuge Liang's tent to see him.Zhuge Liang seemed to have made up his mind a long time ago, seeing Zhang Fei hastily entered the account, he said with a condensed smile.

"Why did Yide come here?"

Zhang Fei frowned and said hurriedly.

"Don't hide it from me, the military commander. I clearly saw my nephew and Ma Dai lead the troops out of the stronghold. The military teacher has his own plan, why didn't he tell me?"

When Zhuge Liang heard it, he pretended to be different, but said.

"You don't need to be suspicious of Yide, the war is difficult now, how can I have a plan?"

When Zhang Fei saw the strange color on Zhuge Liang's face, he immediately became more convinced, and hurriedly shouted.

"I am a general in the army! The military master has a plan, why is he not willing to use me?"

Zhuge Liang stopped talking when he heard the words, he let out a long sigh, shook his head and said.

"Although Yide has the invincible courage, but his temper is impatient and he is eager for revenge. I am afraid that if he tells you his plan, he will miss the important thing."

Zhang Fei heard that he really had a plan, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he said hastily.

"The military commander's words are wrong. In the current state affairs, how can I forget the public because of personal interests!? The military teacher can give orders, if I commit any crimes, I will be punished no matter what, and I am willing to accept the order!"

Zhuge Liang smiled brightly when he heard this, and said so to Zhang Fei.Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't stop laughing.So, that night, Zhang Fei ignored Zhuge Liang's alcohol prohibition and indulged in drinking.Getting drunk, stripping off his clothes, he scolded Zhuge Liang in the stronghold, saying that he didn't know what to do, that he had no talent and learning, and delayed the war.After scolding, Zhang Fei burst into tears again, but it turned out that he was thinking of his sworn brother Pan Feng, beating his chest and crying, saying that revenge is hard to avenge, and he was ashamed to see him.Zhang Fei cursed and cried, at one moment he was extremely ferocious, and at another moment he wept bitterly.All the soldiers in the village were moved when they heard about it.Zhuge Liang has always been strict in running the army, how could he allow Zhang Fei to be so presumptuous, and immediately went out of the tent to reprimand him.Zhang Fei was crying so sadly that when he saw Zhuge Liang, he immediately opened his mouth and cursed.Zhuge Liang was so angry that he was furious, but seeing Zhang Fei's pain of losing his brother, he suppressed his anger and pushed him back into the tent.Where Zhang Fei was willing to go, he had a sudden attack, knocked over the soldiers, became drunk, cried and cursed at Zhuge Liang.Zhuge Liang was so angry that he trembled all over, and hurriedly ordered the sergeant to arrest him.At this time, Hua Xiong and other generals rushed over one after another. Seeing Zhang Fei crying and scolding Zhuge Liang angrily, they hurried to persuade him.Zhuge Liang blushed with anger, and wanted to punish Zhang Fei severely.Hua Xiong and the others tried to persuade Zhang Fei while pulling Zhang Fei away, so they excused him.At this time, outside the Shu army stronghold, several Tang army scouts rode, and they saw all this in their eyes.It turns out that these scouts were originally searching several miles outside the Shu army stronghold.Suddenly hearing that there was a lot of cursing in the village, I couldn't help coming to visit curiously.In addition, Zhuge Liang had ordered earlier to withdraw the patrolling soldiers outside the village.These scouts gradually approached, and they saw Zhang Fei getting drunk and scolding Zhuge Liang angrily.Everyone saw that, their faces were overjoyed, and they quickly reined in their horses and retreated, rushing back to Nanzheng City to report to Huang Zhong.Huang Zhong frowned when he heard this, he didn't know if it was a deceit, and seeing that it was too late, he didn't call Xu Shu and Zhang Liao to discuss it until the next morning.

Xu Shu couldn't help pondering after hearing the past.With sharp eyes, Zhang Liao snorted coldly.

"This must be Zhuge Kongming's trick again! Seeing that Nanzheng City is difficult to capture, Zhuge Kongming wanted to preserve his troops.
