Han Shimou

() Zhang Fei listened to the order, although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, but he knew that Zhuge Liang must have deep intentions, so he waved his spear at Zhao Yun's face, and hastily reined in his horse and retreated.Ma Dai and Pan Ping also withdrew one after another.Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were trying to take advantage of the situation to hide and kill them, but they heard the military order sent by Wen Han's soldiers, not to pursue the attack, but to prepare their troops first.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao took orders, and together with the generals, they reorganized their troops and marched slowly towards the city of Chengdu.By dusk, Tang Bing had arrived ten miles away from Chengdu.Wen Han ordered a battalion to be created, and then taught several generals to lead troops to explore outside the camp to guard against the Shu army's attack. military.

At three o'clock that night, Tang Jun had just made a meal and had a rest.Wen Han discussed with Pang Tong, Zhang Song, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and other civil and military personnel in the tent.Pang Tong's expression was concentrated, and he attended and said.

"Although our army has already reached the city of Chengdu, the soldiers are exhausted after fighting hard today. My lord, you can let the soldiers rest for a night, and we will not march until noon tomorrow."

When Wen Han heard the words, he also understood the truth, so he nodded and said. ..

"This can teach patrolling soldiers and horses to take turns to rest. But we must inquire closely, the current situation cannot allow mistakes, otherwise it will be a waste of time!!"

"My lord is very worried. This matter must be handled with caution."

Pang Tong clapped his hands in response.Wen Han narrowed his eyes, and then asked with a bit of dignity.

"The city of Chengdu is as solid as gold, and the Shu people built urns to guard the gates on all sides of the city, and also set up deep trenches and earth barriers outside the city. According to Shi Yuan's opinion, how should we attack?"

Pang Tong's expression was startled. In the past few days, Wen Han had already described the characteristics of the thunder cannon.According to Pang Tong's understanding, this thunder cannon is a long-distance and powerful weapon that can break mountains and rocks.But now in the army, there are a total of 120 eight cannons. Wen Han once told Pang Tong privately that if these 120 eight cannons were fired at once, a small mountain could be blown to pieces in an instant!

Pang Tong sank, thinking for a while, a pair of thin eyes flickered on his ugly face, and then said in a concentrated voice.

"Our army does not have many troops, so it is not conducive to divide our troops to attack. However, our army has such a magical weapon as the thunder cannon, but it can concentrate on attacking one. The thunder cannon is a long-distance weapon, and it is the key to our army's victory over the enemy. And It is necessary to be prepared for a strong attack by the other army. In my opinion, tomorrow, you can teach the dead soldiers of Feiyuan to take thunder cannons to line up in the front, while General Zhao and General Zhang each lead a soldier to guard the two wings, and the lord protects them. Stay in the rear as a precaution. Our army first blows up the urn city, then advances slowly, and then does the same, blows open the city gate, and then leads the army to attack, enter the city, and fight to the death with the Shu soldiers!!"

Wen Han listened to the advice, but in fact he also had the same thought in his heart, and he immediately agreed with it.After everyone agreed, they all went to rest in preparation for tomorrow's war.

At the same time, in the main hall in Chengdu.At this moment, it was not Liu Bei who was sitting in the high hall, but a white face, thin eyes, white body, long hands, and big ears, which was quite similar to Liu Bei, but it lacked Liu Bei's heroic spirit, and had a little more. very weak.It's no wonder, seeing that this young man is only in his early twenties, now in the main hall, the atmosphere is heavy, the civil servant's face is solemn, and the burly soldiers have fierce eyes, each of them looks like a fierce beast that has been driven to death.Suddenly, a pair of blood-red ring eyes looked over, the young man curled up in fright and almost peed his pants, but fortunately he gritted his teeth and held back in an emergency.The young man's face was flushed, and his whole body was trembling.And the owner of those blood-red rings is none other than Zhang Fei.Zhang Fei frowned and asked anxiously.

"Is there a serious problem with the king's body!?"

Zhang Fei's voice was like thunder, and the young man was frightened away as if all souls and souls were scared away, and his crotch was wet, he was so frightened that he peed his pants.This young man is Liu Chan.After Liu Bei's death, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Zhuge Liang and all his ministers invited Liu Chan to be the king of Shu.However, Liu Chan was still young, and he was always timid and spoiled. Although Liu Bei taught him all kinds of things, he taught him the way of an emperor.But Liu Chan was lazy by nature. He listened here and forgot there, which made Liu Bei angry and worried.Therefore, when Liu Bei was dying, he told Zhuge Liang that if he saw that Liu Chan was incompetent, he could replace him. Perhaps Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang was loyal and did it on purpose, teaching Zhuge Liang to be grateful and to die, or to be sincere. Things.However, Liu Bei has passed away, and no one knows the intention of his dying words.

But Liu Chan was so scared that he peed his pants when Zhang Fei yelled at him.Zhuge Liang saw Liu Chanyu crying and stopped, his face was full of embarrassment, and he looked over as if begging for help.Zhuge Liang sighed secretly, and then he and all the ministers and Taoist kings were not feeling well. They first went to the back hall to teach the imperial doctor to come over for diagnosis and treatment, and told the ministers to wait in the main hall for a while.After hearing this, Liu Chan felt relieved, and rushed into the apse with his servants as if fleeing.Zhuge Liang shook his head, and cast a look at Fazheng. Fazheng understood, and followed Liu Chan into the back hall.Seeing this, Zhang Fei thought that Liu Changuo was feeling unwell, so he was eager to follow him.Fazheng stopped him quickly, and whispered something in Zhang Fei's ear.Hearing this, Zhang Fei's ferocious face trembled, his anger turned blue and purple. He wanted to explode, but he held back.

After a while, Zhuge Liang walked out first, followed by Liu Chan and a group of his attendants.I saw Liu Chan's slightly immature round face, forcing a bit of majesty, and a trace of confidence flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Zhuge Liang from the corner of his eye.Zhuge Liang responded with a smile.Liu Chan was shocked immediately, it seems that Zhuge Liang must have talked with Liu Chan in the apse just now.Immediately, Liu Chan sat down, and all the officials saluted again. Liu Chan moved his hand and drank flat.All the ministers rose up one after another.Liu Chan took a deep breath and said.

"Now that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are approaching the city, and the country is in danger, do you have a plan?"

As soon as Liu Chan's words fell, Zhang Fei stared around, and then he came out with emotion, and wanted to speak loudly.Fazheng casts his eyes anxiously.Zhang Fei was full of blood and anger, and felt that most of the time had passed away, his face trembled, and he deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of scaring a sleeping baby.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. You should do your best to keep everything safe!"

"With my uncle and Yafu here, I am not afraid of being alone."

Liu Chan was sure, and looked at Zhuge Liang from the corner of his eye.Yafu, of course, refers to Zhuge Liang.Liu Bei taught Liu Chan and other three brothers to serve Zhuge Liang as fathers.Liu Chan was also quite quick-witted. In the apse just now, he actually followed Xiang Ji's respect for Fan Zeng and called him Yafu.Although Zhuge Liang didn't dare to accept it, but Liu Chan insisted on doing it, Zhuge Liang was more moved than he was helpless.At that time, he thought to himself that he was deeply favored and trusted by Liu's father and son, and he would definitely repay him with death and restore the Shu Kingdom.When the ministers of His Highness heard that Liu Chan called Zhuge Liang the sub-father, their expressions did not change, but soon everyone was relieved, and secretly sighed that Liu Chan was quite clever.

Zhuge Liang's expression froze, and he walked out quickly, cupping his hands in a bow.

"Your servants are deeply favored by the king, and there is no way to repay them. Don't worry about it. The city of Chengdu is as solid as gold, with copper walls and iron walls. There are four urns guarding the four gates. Outside the city, there are deep ditches built with earth. Our army only needs to After guarding Chengdu for several months, the other army had no food, so they retreated naturally. By then, the princes must have reported to Cao Cao. Cao Cao is a hero in the world. When the time comes, take advantage of the momentum, regain the situation, and then plan for the future."

Zhuge Liang spoke sternly and wittily, but Liu Chan was confused as if he was listening to a scripture from heaven, but Liu Chan had a bit of wisdom, so he nodded his head and said.

"What Yafu said is true, everything can be done as you say."

Zhuge Liang frowned when he heard this, and secretly wanted to attack, but he couldn't speak clearly.Sure enough, Zhang Fei listened, stared around, and shouted angrily.

"Even if what the military adviser said is reasonable, but the king is the ruler of a country, how can he be like a puppet without his own opinions!?"

With Zhang Fei's thunderous roar, the whole hall seemed to shake suddenly, and all the ministers could only feel a buzzing in their ears, without changing their colors.Liu Chan was even more unbearable, trembling all over with fright, the slight majesty he had managed to put on just now disappeared in an instant.Zhuge Liang rushed out to persuade.

"Calm down your anger. Your Majesty trusts Liang deeply, which really makes Liang terrified. Liang feels this kindness, and he will definitely use his strength to die. This is the way for a king to employ people. Yide doesn't need to worry too much."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei looked at Zhuge Liang in a blink of an eye. Seeing Zhuge Liang's magnanimous expression, his heart tightened.Zhang Fei doesn't know Zhuge Liang's character, but after all, this is about the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers.Now that Liu Bei has passed away, Zhang Fei also knows what his nephew Liu Chan is capable of. He is afraid that one day, there will be no distinction between the monarch and his ministers, and the court will be in chaos.At that time, if Zhuge Liang had evil intentions and peeped at the foundation of the Shu Kingdom, then what should he do.People will not remain the same, especially in the face of huge interests.Zhang Fei is also worried that Zhuge Liang will be out of control for a day!

Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei made eye contact, and then moved away after a while.Zhang Fei kept his face cold and closed his eyes without saying a word.Zhuge Liang then cast a wink at Liu Chan.There was still lingering fear on Liu Chan's face. Seeing that Zhang Fei was silent, he spoke boldly.

"It's very reasonable to listen to Yafu's words alone. I wonder if you have other high opinions?"

After Liu Chan's words fell, all the civil and military personnel looked at each other in dismay, and all went out to bow their hands together.

"The ministers all feel that what the military teacher said is very appropriate and should be followed."

After hearing this, Liu Chan turned his eyes to Zhang Fei.Zhang Fei still closed his eyes and meditated, apparently acquiescing.Only then did Liu Chan settle down, shake his nerves, and speak hastily.

"It turns out that all the nobles think it is appropriate, then follow what Yafu said, guard the city and resist the Tang army!!"

"The ministers are ordered to guard Chengdu to the death!!"

All the ministers clasped their hands together and responded sharply.Then Liu Chan made eye contact with Zhuge Liang, seeing Zhuge Liang secretly nodding his head, he immediately felt relieved, and told all the officials to leave. After the worship, Liu Chan quickly fled back to the back hall with his attendants. When the officials saw him, some shook their heads and sighed, some sighed. Some people have sad faces, and some people laugh secretly.Zhang Fei opened his eyes and saw Zhuge Liang in front of him. Zhuge Liang had been waiting for a while, and said with his hands clasped.

"The king is still young, and he is not familiar with the way of a monarch and his ministers. Yide is the king's close relative, and I hope he can teach him patiently."

Zhang Fei frowned, and there was an inexplicable change in his eyes, with a hint of shame, but he quickly recovered, with a solemn expression, nodded, and went to the apse.Seeing Zhang Fei leaving, Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh. Ever since Liu Bei passed away and the Tang army had arrived in Chengdu, he had already sighed countless times.Every time Zhuge Liang sighed, he seemed to be a little older.Now Zhuge Liang is nearly forty years old, but he looks like he is fifty years old. If this continues, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang will die of exhaustion sooner or later.

A gust of breeze blew through the hall, and the lonely figure looked particularly desolate and lonely.
