The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 392
"Your Majesty, Liu Bei is already awake, but his whole body is very weak, and his physical condition is still deteriorating. Although it is said that the doctors who treat him are all inaccessible, according to the information we have, it is that Liu Bei is planning to To establish a son, the preparation is to let Liu Chan take over."

Lu Xun finished reading all the information, and then spoke after sorting out the language.

"I'm afraid that Liu Bei's life is not long. In addition, there are already many people in Shu who are contacting us. Although there are no officials under Liu Bei among them, as long as Liu Bei continues like this, I'm afraid it won't last long. Shu No matter how much the family supports Liu Bei, they still say they want to die with him."

"That day Zhang Fei uttered lies under Hanzhong City, and he wanted to humiliate Fazheng in full view. How could Fazheng be dissatisfied? Also, what happened after Zhang Fei retreated to Wakou Pass? But strictly guard against our army's sneak attack?"

Wei Tao nodded first, and then continued to ask.

"In addition, I ordered someone to sew Guan Yu's head and body to Chengdu and send it to Chengdu. How did Chengdu react?"

"My lord, that Zhang Fei has a bad temper. During this period of time, he was drunk every day. When he was drunk, he whipped the soldiers. There were already soldiers who deserted, but they were all caught back soon, and they suffered even more. , especially after His Majesty sent Guan Yu's body back, and saw that Guan Yu's appearance was as good as before, Zhang Fei was even more so."

At this time, Jiang Wei also followed suit.

"As for that Fazheng, on the surface, I didn't see any complaints from him. After all, for that Fazheng, the most urgent task is to maintain the unity under Liu Bei's command. I'm not satisfied!"

"Oh?"

Wei Tao closed his eyes and thought about it for a while. In fact, now that the big things have been decided, Wei Tao has to decide to continue to march into Xichuan, or stick to it.

In history, after Cao Cao conquered Dongchuan, he said, "How can you look forward to Shu when you have a vested interest?" However, Wei Tao's ambition is to calm the world, and now that he has come to this point, there is absolutely no reason to give up.

But at this time Wei Tao was thinking about something, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked slowly.

"What would happen if I was not in a hurry to attack Xichuan at this time? Regardless of whether Zhang Fei was really furious or was trying to lure our army into a hasty move, if our army does not move at this time, Zhang Fei But can you keep holding back? What will happen if Zhang Fei’s irritable temper can’t be held back?”

Wei Tao smiled and spoke eloquently.

Hearing what Wei Tao said, Lu Xun and the others froze for a moment, but immediately thought about it. After a while, Jiang Wei spoke first.

"Your Majesty's plan is indeed very clever. But let alone other people, there is still Zhuge Liang in Sichuan after all. With Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness, it should not be impossible to see that at this time, if it is internally divided, it will only benefit our army. I'm afraid it will be action. I think the most likely thing is to make Fazheng and Zhang Fei no longer see each other. No matter how violent Zhang Fei is, after all, Liu Bei has not died at this time, and he can still suppress him. It would not be said that it was deliberately seeking to see Fazheng, so naturally it cannot be said to be a conflict."

Although he said it euphemistically, Jiang Wei's meaning was very clear, that is, this trick may have some effect, but it is unlikely to have a big effect.

"Well, that's true."

Wei Tao tapped lightly on the desk in front of him, things may not always be as simple as he thought, but since Wei Tao has decided to make a plan, naturally he will not let Zhang Fei escape so easily.

After thinking about it for a while, Wei Tao smiled and asked suddenly.

"Now our army is so persecuted and powerful, if Xi Chuan wants to resist, what should he do?"

Hearing Wei Tao's question suddenly, several people were taken aback for a moment. After all, now it is time to attack Xichuan, not to think about defense.

But I have to say that all the people under Wei Tao's tent are resourceful people, but after a moment of surprise, Lu Xun replied.

"Although His Majesty has won successively, there are still insufficient soldiers. What's more, Cao Cao's attack in the rear is very urgent. At this time, we just need to guard the pass and fight against Your Majesty."

"That's right, the fertile land of Shu can be called the land of abundance. But it is really the essence, and it should belong to Chengdu. The big clans in the middle of Shu are all gathered here. As long as we can keep Chengdu, then Liu Bei will have a chance to turn around. After all, Your Majesty Although powerful, it is impossible to defend this place like a general, and after a long time, there will naturally be opportunities."

Jiang Wei also added.

"Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our army's success is thanks to Liu Bei's willingness to fight back. If not, just breaking the Yangping Pass will cause serious injuries to our army."

Lu Meng also opened his mouth at this time, and he had to say that these three people were indeed rising stars under Wei Tao's command, and what they said was all reasonable.

But at this time, Wei Tao smiled slightly, and then spoke slowly.

"What you said is not bad, it is the best strategy. If this is the case, this strategy will be spread throughout Sichuan. I think those aristocratic families must be eager to do this!"

Hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback, but soon Lu Xun, Jiang Wei, Lu Meng and others all laughed, and then supported what Lu Xun said.

"Your Majesty, it's a great plan! In normal times, for the sake of the overall situation, no matter whether it is the people in Sichuan or Liu Bei's men, they will not be so easy to fight among themselves, so that our army and fishermen will benefit. But once this strategy is implemented, the upper and lower gentry in Sichuan will naturally want If you follow it, it will be a great humiliation to those generals!"

"That's right, especially that Zhang Fei. At that time, Fazheng had sworn that His Majesty would attack Wakou Pass within a month to give him a chance to take revenge, but now that the lord is standing still, can Zhang Fei still speak to that Fazheng? Your Majesty, when we spread this statement, we might as well say it widely, this is a wonderful plan offered by Fazheng!"

Jiang Wei also said with a smile.

"Fazheng and Zhuge Liang are both resourceful people, and they definitely can't think of this. However, with their abilities, they must either have ulterior motives, or try to resolve their dissatisfaction. Now His Majesty has punctured this plan. Could it be that the two Can people still ignore it?"

"That's right! That's right. No matter what Zhang Fei does, he can't change his fiery temperament. Once he knows about this, he will be furious. If so, it may even cause internal strife in Shu. You need to sit and watch here to know the success or failure of the inside, this is the so-called bureau!"

Wei Tao smiled slightly, this is exactly what he planned.

The news spread quickly. After all, no matter how closed the Shu land was, Wei Tao had already arrived at his house. Naturally, everyone in the Shu land was concerned about this matter.

Obviously, this strategy is still highly valued by people big and small in Shu, after all, it is really a good strategy.

But upon hearing the news, Zhang Fei immediately jumped up!

"What! Hold on until that Wei Tao retreats on his own! How dare Fazheng bully me like this!"

Zhang Fei grabbed the little soldier and roared loudly.

"Is that really the case?"

"……Yes Yes……"

How could that ordinary soldier stand up to Zhang Fei's behavior? After drinking violently in front of him, his heart was broken. After a while of trembling, he suddenly didn't move, breathed away, and died.

"Trash! These Shu people are all trash!"

But in this way, not only did Zhang Fei not wake up in any way, but it made him even more furious!
Zhang Fei's behavior for a while immediately made everyone in his army centrifugal, and the panic became even worse.

When the news reached Hanzhong City, Wei Tao couldn't help smiling.

Sure enough, Zhang Fei's grumpy temper would have such a result. In fact, not only Zhang Fei, but many generals under Liu Bei's command were angry about it.

Faced with such a situation, even Fazheng and Zhuge Liang had no choice but to strictly order everyone not to act without authorization.Those who violate the order will be beheaded.

"This is good, but if these prohibitions can be banned, others may not be able to ban Zhang Fei. Come on! Send me an order, so that people can say something in Shuzhong: I have been in Hanzhong for a month, and I heard that Shuzhong is on guard. , the defense is difficult and trapped here, unable to do anything, I can only say to myself, how can I look forward to Shu when I have Long? I should lead my troops and retreat!"

Wei Tao doesn't expect to be able to fool Fazheng and Zhuge Liang with this rumor, but as long as he can fool Zhang Fei and others!
Rumors stop at wise men, but where are there so many wise men in Sichuan?
Or to be more precise, how could there be so many wise men in Sichuan who knew Wei Tao well? Except for Fazheng and Zhuge Liang, many people were convinced after hearing this news.

Why?

Precisely because this strategy is as correct as it is!

It is not that the people of Shu are without resourcefulness, but it is precisely because they are resourceful that they know that if they do this, Wei Tao may retreat without a fight.

Moreover, none of the people in Shu land had let down their vigilance. Under such circumstances, if there were no accidents, Wei Tao's plan would naturally not succeed.

It's a pity that this trick is not aimed at others, but at Zhang Fei!
"It's unreasonable! One month is coming, and Wei Tao has the slightest intention to leave? Zhuge Junshi also came to deceive me? Could it be that the second brother's revenge will not be avenged?"

Zhang Fei tore the letter in his hand into pieces.

Although Zhuge Liang sent a letter to dissuade him, how could a reckless man like Zhang Fei care about so many things?
After being patient for a month, seeing that Wei Tao seemed to have the intention of withdrawing his troops, Zhang Fei couldn't bear it any longer and gave an order directly.

"Order the whole army to wear sackcloth and filial piety, and immediately go to Hanzhong City! This battle must avenge the blood of my second brother Guan Yunchang!"

As soon as the army was ordered, the ordinary soldiers naturally did not dare to disobey, and immediately followed Zhang Fei's orders, and did not dare to hesitate at all, for fear that something was wrong, which would arouse Zhang Fei's anger.

These days, Zhang Fei beat and scolded the soldiers frequently, and even flogged the soldiers to death from time to time. In this way, how can anyone in the army not be afraid?
