The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Nie Zefeng was discussing with the generals how to break through.

"Yangguan is built on the mountain, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the veteran Yan Yan is quite capable of commanding troops. If our army attacks by force, I am afraid it will not be easy to succeed. According to the opinion of the last general, we can find another path to bypass Yangguan , directly to the Jiangzhou City behind it."

Gao Shun advocated copying the enemy's rear, while Fa Zheng advocated taking Guancheng by force. It was difficult to reach a consensus for a while.

As the chief general, Nie Zefeng was also a little anxious at this moment.

Although the march from Baidi City had been smooth and unimpeded, he also knew that it was mainly because the Shu army was defenseless.

It was only after this journey that he realized that the so-called "the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky", and it is really not for nothing.And those cities that are empty of troops along the way, as long as a few thousand soldiers are stationed, they will become extremely difficult to capture.

Today in Jiangzhou, he finally met Yan Yan, who was as strong as Yan Yan, and Nie Ze's powerful offensive was naturally blocked.

Nie Zefeng was thinking, if the Lord of Yizhou was not as mediocre and weak as Liu Zhang, even if he was replaced by someone like Liu Biao, with a crowd of [-] people and the danger of the road to Shu, both Liu Bei and Nie Zefeng would have to fight. It is impossible to be blocked from Shuchuan.

"The land of Shu is full of dangers. In this war, I think we should use wisdom first, supplemented by strength. After all, our real enemy is Cao Cao after taking Hanzhong. He spent all his troops on attacking the city. It's not a wise move."

When the voice fell, Zhou Cang came to report from outside the tent, saying that Zhang Song and Wang Lei, Liu Zhang's emissaries, had come to meet each other from Chengdu.

Hearing Zhang Song coming, Nie Zefeng couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Before, he was still worried that Zhang Song would be implicated and victimized after he broke his face and attacked Liu Zhang.

Now that Zhang Song was able to come here in the name of an envoy, Nie Zefeng thought that this must be his escape plan, and he was relieved in his heart.

But this Wang Lei also came along, which was a bit surprising.

At this moment, Pang Tong, who had been silent all this time, had a sly smile on his lips, "My lord, God will help me this time. To break the Yang Pass and take Jiangzhou's plan, Tong has already thought of it."

As soon as these words came out, the spirits of everyone in the big tent were lifted.

Nie Zefeng knew right away that he brought Pang Tong with the army this time, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. Pang Tong really had a clever plan in front of the strong city.

Immediately Nie Zefeng was excited and asked Pang Tong what kind of trick he had.

Pang Tong then told his plan and the reason for shifting blame to everyone present, and they all sighed with pang Zhimou, even if it was Fa Zheng, they nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Nie Zefeng was even more excited, and said with a sneer, "The strategist's plan is really wonderful. Very good, let's say that Wang Lei and Yongnian come in to meet each other, and we will put on a good show for him."

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Nie Zefeng was sitting on top, his face was stern, and his eagle eyes were shining with a fierce light.

On the two wings of the big tent, swords and axes are waiting on both sides, all of them are vicious.

In the military tent, the chilling atmosphere was circulating crazily.

After a while, the curtain was raised, and Zhang Song and another scribe stepped into the tent, who presumably was Wang Lei.

As soon as they were in the tent, the two felt the chilling atmosphere. Zhang Song secretly winked at Nie Zefeng, but Nie Zefeng turned a blind eye.

Just when he was feeling suspicious, Nie Zefeng shouted, "Who is in front of the tent?"

Zhang Song was stunned for a moment, suddenly suspicious in his heart.

He asked Liu Zhang for an envoy, originally as a way to get out, and originally wanted to reveal his identity in front of Wang Lei as soon as he entered the tent, but Nie Zefeng's stern question changed his mind. idea.

"My lord has such an attitude, presumably there must be some intentions, I might as well cooperate for the time being."

Thinking of this, Zhang Song cupped his hands and said: "Song and the other two are ordered by my lord to come to meet the king and ask him to give an explanation for breaking the covenant and invading our state. .”

Snapped!

Nie Zefeng slapped the table violently, bursting out in anger.

"Good Liu Zhang, before this king sent anyone to question him, he sent someone to question this king first. It's really shameless."

Nie Zefeng's questioning immediately stunned the two people before the case.

Zhang Song was wondering what Nie Zefeng's intentions were, and for a moment he didn't know how to cooperate.

But Wang Lei said seriously: "My lord and Your Majesty made an agreement to destroy the Southern Man. Now my Lord not only sends troops and money and food to His Majesty, but also borrows a way for His Majesty to attack the Southern Man in the north. It is very sincere, but Your Majesty attacked my city for no reason. , kill my soldiers, how can you blame my lord, the officials really can't figure out the reason for this."

This Wang Lei is impassioned, without any fear.

Many envoys had to bow their heads in front of Nie Zefeng. It had been a long time since Nie Zefeng had encountered such an envoy who dared to publicly blame him.

Nie Zefeng was not surprised. He knew that Wang Lei in history, in order to persuade Liu Zhang to refuse to invite Liu Bei to Sichuan, even jumped from the city gate to commit suicide to stop him.

"Military Master Shi Yuan, I don't want to talk nonsense with him, tell him why Gu wants to send troops to attack?" Nie Zefeng turned around with a flick of his sleeve.

At this time, Pang Tong next to him said with a straight face: "The fact is this. Not long after my lord arrived in Badong, I wanted to send troops to the north to attack the southern barbarians. Unexpectedly, your Badong prefect Huang Quan suspected that I was going to attack him." Baidi City unexpectedly led an army to attack our camp at night, but our army was defeated in the end."

Hearing these words, Wang Lei's expression changed slightly, and the originally upright and stern aura could not help restraining himself a bit.

Wang Lei didn't know that Huang Quan had been tricked by Fazheng to attack the Chu army, but Wang Lei knew that Huang Quan was recruited by Nie Zefeng because he failed first. Baidi City.

And Wang Lei also knew that Huang Quan had always been suspicious of Nie Zefeng, so he thought that if Huang Quan found out that Nie Zefeng had evil intentions, with his character, it would be possible to launch an attack first.

It's just groundless, who can prove that Nie Zefeng has evil intentions, and you, Huang Quan, made a sneak attack first, but it's clearly there.

As a result, Wang Lei suddenly felt a little bit wrong.

"My lord wanted to help your family, Mr. Liu, attack Zhang Lu. Whoever thought of being kind, was treated so treacherously by you, so my lord was furious, and sent troops to attack Shu, in order to kill Chengdu. Seek justice from Liu Zhang!"

Nie Zefeng, who was standing with his back on his back, couldn't help sighing in his heart at this moment, Pang Tong was not only resourceful, but also eloquent.

After some eloquent words, Pang Tong turned his long-planned "conspiracy against Shu" into an awe-inspiring act of asking Liu Zhang for an explanation.

Wang Lei was stopped by the question right now, he was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.

Wang Lei, who wanted to come to Xingshi to inquire about his crimes, was aggrieved at this time and found that his own side, which lost troops and lost ground, became the party responsible instead.

What's more, what made Wang Lei even more aggrieved was that he couldn't refute it. Who told Huang Quan to attack other people's camp first.

But at this time, a sly smile flashed across the corner of Zhang Song's mouth, and he had already guessed half of Nie Zefeng's intentions.

Thinking of this, Zhang Song hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. It seems that this is a complete misunderstanding. To be honest, Huang Gongheng has always been somewhat hostile to His Majesty. His self-assessed sneak attack this time is completely a misunderstanding. My lord has never known what he did personally, so please ask your majesty to be generous."

Nie Zefeng, who was standing with his back on his back, also had a smile on the corner of his mouth, thinking that Zhang Song was a smart person after all, and he had already understood his intentions without collusion in advance.

Turning around suddenly, Nie Zefeng had a serious face.

He stared at the two people in front of the case, and said sharply: "It's easy to say, you are alone in the world, who dare not be afraid, but now you are being bullied by Yizhou people for no reason. If you don't wipe out Yizhou, wouldn't it be called the world?" People laugh alone and incompetent."

That murderous air only terrified the embarrassed Wang Lei, and his clumsy mouth hurriedly looked at Zhang Song.

Zhang Song had a helpless expression on his face, as if he was at a loss.

"My lord, after listening to Yongnian's explanation, it seems that this matter is entirely the fault of Huang Quan alone, and has nothing to do with Liu Shijun. My lord has a universal heart. If this is the case, why not forgive Liu Shijun."

At this time, Pang Tong's black face turned red, and he began to help Wang Lei persuade Nie Zefeng again.

But Nie Zefeng snorted coldly: "It's easy to say, but the [-] army alone was dragged here for no reason. I don't know how much food it will cost. Who will pay for these losses."

Zhang Song hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is right, so let's do it, as long as Your Majesty can appease his anger, reconcile the old relationship with my lord, and retreat, I, Yizhou, would like to double compensate the money and food consumed these days as a gift of apology to Your Majesty."

Nie Zefeng stopped talking, he didn't need to talk about bargaining.

Pang Tong made some calculations and said, "Well, as long as you compensate us with 20 hu of grain and grass, my lord will consider withdrawing from the army and reconciling with you."

20 dendrobium of grain and grass is a drop in the bucket for Liu Zhang, who is so rich. It is a good deal to avoid an imminent war with this amount of grain.

"No problem, 20 hu is 20 hu." Zhang Song agreed without thinking about it.

Although Wang Lei was upset, he had no choice but to keep silent.

At this time, Nie Zefeng's expression softened a little, but he said: "You Yizhou people are the most untrustworthy people. How can you be credulous based on your one-sided words."

After a pause, Nie Zefeng pointed to Wang Lei and said, "Gu will keep Zhang Song as a hostage. You should go back to Chengdu and tell Liu Zhang that if he doesn't deliver 20 hu of grain and grass within six days, Gu will kill Zhang Song and wave his hand." The army went straight to Chengdu and took away his foundation."

Nie Zefeng wanted to keep Zhang Song and help him get rid of the golden cicada's shell. Zhang Song was secretly happy when he heard it, but he felt a chill in his heart when he heard Wang Lei.

Zhang Song, who was secretly happy, pretended to be bitter, and said to Wang Lei: "The matter has come to an end, Song can only show the sincerity of the lord if he stays. If the king is engaged, I will trouble you to return to Chengdu as soon as possible, and report to the lord." It's a matter of food and grass."

"Biejia Zhang, then take care of yourself, Wang will rush back to Chengdu immediately."

Wang Lei was still suspicious of Zhang Song. At this time, he not only believed in Zhang Song, but also secretly admired Zhang Song's courage in trapping the Chu army.

Wang Lei, who was caught in the trap, didn't dare to stay longer, so he left immediately.

Wang Lei left in a hurry, and in the big tent, apart from all the knives and axes, only Nie Zefeng and Pang Tong were left.
