The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 395 Liu Bei's Last Strike

"Zhang Song, a famous scholar in Sichuan?"

Now that the news is gradually spreading in the middle of Shu, and with the news that Liu Bei is seriously ill, Wei Tao is naturally confident and not so urgent, but he is still a bit curious when he hears that this person is coming.

The effectiveness of the topographic map of Sichuan and Shu is not small. Even if Wei Tao defeated Liu Bei and captured Chengdu, the topographic map of Sichuan and Shu is also indispensable.

In this way, Wei Tao couldn't help but pay attention.

"Hurry up and be affectionate!"

But for a while, an ugly man walked slowly into the hall, and one looked carefully, although this man was ugly, but he had a unique demeanor, which made people feel extraordinary at first sight.

"Don't drive Zhang Song in Yizhou to meet His Majesty."

Zhang Song lowered his status so low when he first came, which made Wei Tao happy.

After all, Zhang Song is also really talented, not to mention other things, but only Liu Yan, Liu Zhang and his son in the past, even though they didn't like its appearance, they still knew that they were appointed to official positions.

As for his ugly appearance, we must know that there is another person under Wei Tao's command.

However, Pang Tong died in the attack on Shu in history, so Wei Tao did not transfer him this time, but asked him to help Zhou Yu resist Cao Cao.

Naturally, Wei Tao is not superstitious about history, but Wei Tao already knows that this person is quite curious, but if he is not familiar with the land in the middle of Sichuan, he may be confused by him if he uses strange schemes indiscriminately.

Of course, this also has something to do with Wei Tao's own strength, and he doesn't need any tricks to deal with it.

"I heard that Mr. Ting is a great talent in the middle of Sichuan, and I thought that I would not be able to see him until I arrived in Chengdu, but I didn't expect Mr. to come. However, I don't know why Mr. came here? Could it be a lobbyist for Liu Bei? ?”

Wei Tao's question was very straightforward, but at this time there was no need to make any more lies. In fact, at Wei Tao's stage, there was no need to use those lies.

"No! I came this time to plead guilty to His Majesty!"

Zhang Song directly saluted Wei Tao.

"Your Majesty came here for the Son of Heaven, a teacher who feared righteousness, but Song never came to meet him in time. This is a serious crime!"

"Oh?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, and looked at Zhang Song with some hesitation. In Wei Tao's memory, Zhang Song had a somewhat arrogant temperament, and he was rarely so far behind, let alone such a humble.

At this time, Wei Tao also had a little more doubt in his heart, but Wei Tao's face was joyful.

"It's my luck to welcome you, sir, what's the crime?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your tolerance."

Seeing that Zhang Song was still so respectful, Wei Tao was indeed hesitant, and even his face turned slightly cold, but the next moment what Zhang Song said surprised Wei Tao.

"The guilty minister knows that His Majesty is going to take Xichuan now. Although I have no intelligence and cannot help His Majesty, I have lived in Sichuan and Shu for a long time and know the geography of Sichuan and Shu. It took me several years to make this topographic map of Sichuan and Shu. Now it is just right. It is dedicated to His Majesty."

"what!"

If it wasn't for the fact that Zhang Song is really just a scribe, he would never be his opponent. I'm afraid Wei Tao would have thought that he was trying to use some kind of trick to make a fool of himself.

But when Wei Tao unfolded the map he took out from his sleeve, his eyes could not help but light up slightly.

This is indeed a topographic map of Sichuan and Shu. It not only draws all the topography of Sichuan and Shu, but also marks the important passes one by one. The value of this map alone is worth more than a thousand dollars.

"This is the most important weapon of the country!"

After reading it carefully, Wei Tao took a long breath of relief and answered slowly, then raised his head to look at Zhang Song.

"Mr. Ziqiao's ability to offer such a treasure is really a great achievement! If Ziqiao doesn't give up, why don't you just work for my family first? I will reward you later if you have meritorious service."

The direct award of an official position has already shown that Wei Tao attaches great importance to Zhang Song.

But yes, this map can indeed be regarded as an important weapon of the country, and there will be nothing wrong with Wei Tao awarding this position.

"Chen Zhang Song thanked His Majesty."

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Zhang Song didn't dare to be negligent, got up quickly and saluted Wei Tao again, and then said.

No matter what Zhang Song's thoughts are, at least at this time Wei Tao believes a little more, and most of his previous suspicions have disappeared.

After all, no matter how feigned surrender, it will definitely not be the case.

"I have Zi Qiao, so lucky!"

Wei Tao smiled and nodded.

I have to say that it is impossible for Zhang Song not to be grateful for Wei Tao's kind treatment, but Zhang Song was discriminated against in his early years, and he felt very inferior. Moved, but the original intention will not change.

Just when the two were talking, Jiang Wei heard about it and begged to see him.

"Boyo? But what's the matter?"

Wei Tao knew that if there was no urgent and important matter, Jiang Wei would not have rushed here at this time. He immediately ordered him to come in without caring about it.

"Meet Your Majesty."

Although Jiang Wei saw Zhang Song by his side, he didn't shy away from it at this time, and just said it directly.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Chengdu that Liu Bei is said to have recovered from the shock of the deaths of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and ordered that the throne be passed on to Liu Chan. The generals are all coming to Wakou Pass, it is said that they want to defend Wakou Pass to the death, so that our army can no longer advance further."

"Oh? Sure enough, Liu Bei has recovered?"

Wei Tao was a little surprised, how could there be such a change all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, I know a thing or two about these things. It is said that Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and others jointly agreed to use some stimulating techniques such as golden needles to heal Liu Bei. There is nothing wrong with heart disease, but this method is quite life-consuming, and if used for a long time, I am afraid that it will last a year or two at most!"

At this moment, Zhang Song spoke.

Hearing this, Wei Tao couldn't help but frowned slightly again. Wei Tao, who had no idea about the golden acupuncture points, naturally, but he could generally understand.

What's more, the most important thing now is that Liu Bei can command the army, which is not good for Wei Tao.

But Wei Tao still has some doubts.

"Since this is the case, what does Liu Bei intend to do? Want to avenge Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and fight our army?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Liu Bei's strategy is to fight each other!"

At this time Jiang Wei talked about it.

"Currently Shuzhong is unstable, but Liu Bei is so desperate that he can defend for a while. If there is instability in my rear, I can only retreat. At that time, there may still be a day to reorganize the country. Of course, if Liu Bei If we lose again, the big clans in Central Shu will definitely turn against Liu Bei, this is Liu Bei's battle to gamble on the fate of the country."

"It turns out that it is not surprising that Liu Bei, the hero of the first generation, would do such a thing."

Wei Tao has already understood that this can be said to be Liu Bei's last fight.

"The whole army, send troops to Wakou Pass!"

Since Liu Bei was going to make a final fight, Wei Tao naturally had no intention of backing down, and immediately raised his troops to meet him.

But this time Wei Tao didn't take Zhang Song with him. It wasn't that Wei Tao didn't trust Zhang Song, but that Zhang Song refused because he didn't want to face his old master.

Now Wei Tao's command is not bad for such a person, so after confirming that Zhang Song didn't have ulterior motives, Wei Tao let him go.

At this time, Wei Tao was in a hurry but not in a hurry, he led the army slowly, arrived in a few days, then set up camp, rested for a day, and then led the army to Wakou Pass.

"Dong dong dong dong..."

Leading the army to fight, the sound of war drums resounded through the sky, and Wei Tao approached.

But no matter how provocative Wei Tao is, Liu Bei will never be able to defend. Now that Liu Bei is short of troops, he is obviously afraid that Wei Tao will break his army with the method of exchanging sons.

Facing Liu Bei's stubborn defense, Wei Tao also had no good solution. After asking the generals under his account, Wei Tao immediately ordered people to attack Wakou Pass.

It has to be said that the Wakou Pass is indeed a dangerous pass. They have been attacking for three days in a row, losing soldiers and generals every day, but they still can't attack.

Of course, during these three days, there were many casualties in Liu Bei's army, but if the fight continues like this, even if it is to break through this pass, the amount of troops that will be consumed is enough to make Wei Tao feel heartbroken.

"My lord, if you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult. If you want to win this pass, you should find a small path to go around this pass and then make a surprise attack. That's the only way to do it."

Jiang Wei also saw the deaths and injuries in the past few days, and immediately wanted Wei Tao's suggestion.

"No, Zhuge Liang is the most cautious person, and he will definitely not be unprepared for this. Zhuge Liang can't deal with such a direct attack. If he wants to sneak attack from the side road, I'm afraid he will fall into a trap instead."

Wei Tao shook his head slightly, this is the case, facing Zhuge Liang Wei Tao didn't want to use any tricks.

"Moreover, you have to send me an order to strengthen your guard and prevent Liu Bei from jumping over the wall. Although the Wakou Pass is dangerous, the defense supplies are still limited. As long as you continue to attack, I don't believe that Liu Bei can persist. Pass my order and break through first. Those who pass this pass will be promoted to the first rank and rewarded with a hundred taels!"

At this point in the battle, Wei Tao didn't want to use any tricks, so he gave the order directly.

After all, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are different. Maybe Sun Quan would surrender to himself in order to keep the wealth of the Sun family, but Liu Bei would never do that.

If he could, he would definitely die with him, so Wei Tao no longer used tricks at this time, but sent people to persuade him to surrender once a day to shake his morale, and then immediately ordered people to forcibly attack this level.
