Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Page 194

Seeing that his opinion was not supported, Pang De also picked up the cup and drank with Zhang Fei. After a while, Wei Wu Er walked into the room, and he whispered in Zhang Fei's ear.

Zhang Fei, who had been drinking badly, suddenly sat upright, his eyes as bright as black pearls did not look like he was drunk at all.

Zhang Fei put the wine glass heavily on the case table, then stood up and said, "Zhang He is leading the people to assemble in Dangqu County. Old General Yan, you are familiar with the terrain and environment over there, so you can quickly lead the troops of the headquarters to hold him back first." , I lead the army to follow closely behind."

"Wei." Yan Yan cupped her fists and left.

"There are only [-] soldiers in Langzhong. I will send [-] elite soldiers to Dangqu to fight Zhang Yun. You have to defend Gongheng (Huang Quan). You must keep people on the Micangshan trail. Cao Cao left a lot of soldiers for Xia Houyuan. "Zhang Fei said solemnly.

Huang Quan frowned: "It's better for Yide to bring more soldiers. Zhang Yun's soldiers crossing the border should not be less than [-]. Langzhong doesn't need to keep so many defenders."

"That's it. I defeated Zhang He in Nanjun once, and he is nothing special." Zhang Fei said disapprovingly.

"General Yide should not underestimate the enemy. After all, Zhang Yun is Cao Cao's favorite general, and he still has some skills." Huang Quan reminded.

Zhang Fei didn't answer Huang Quan's words, he leaned down and whispered in Wu Er's ear.

"Wei." Wu Er nodded after listening, then turned and walked out.

"Ling Ming, you also hurry to prepare your troops. We will set off for Dangqu tomorrow morning." Zhang Fei continued to order.

"Wei." Pound's voice was loud and he seemed very excited. He saw Zhang Fei dispatching troops just now, and he felt that the other party really didn't look like a reckless man. He was very much looking forward to the next battle.

Zhang Fei led [-] elite soldiers across the mountains and ridges, and it took a few days to reach the south of Hanchang County in the east.

Pang De was not familiar with the terrain of Berkshire. When he found out that the destination was not Dangqu County, he couldn't help showing a puzzled expression: "General, didn't we go to Dangqu to fight Zhang Yun? Why did we come to Hanchang?"

"In order to avoid my eyes and ears, Zhang Yun sneaked into the border of Berkshire several times in a small number of ways. Now he must go north along the Dangqu River to return to Hanzhong. I asked Old General Yan to go to Dangqu to hold him back, just to save time. Cut off Zhang He's way back," Zhang Fei explained.

Pang De nodded, and then clasped his fists and said: "It is rumored that Hanchang has been occupied by Cao Bing, and the last general is willing to attack the city for the vanguard."

Zhang Fei waved his hand, "You can't attack the city in a fair and honest way, it will take too long in Hanchang. Old General Yan only has 3000 troops, so I'm afraid he won't be able to hold Zhang He back for too long."

"The general means..." Pound looked puzzled.

Zhang Fei immediately selected hundreds of soldiers, and then pretended to be the refugees recruited by Zhang Yun in Sanba, easily opened the gate of Hanchang County, and wiped out Hanchang's Cao army in less than two hours. Killed by Pound with a bow and arrow.

Pingding Hanchang did not stop, Zhang Fei and Pound continued to go south along the Dangqu River, and met Yan Yan's scouts asking for help on the way.

Because of the small number of people and the fast marching speed, Yan Yan arrived in Dangqu County three days earlier than Zhang Fei. He made his way to the canyon between Daqing Mountain and Dangqushui, and successfully blocked Zhang He's passage to the north. Zhang Fei retreated in the direction he was flying in.

As soon as Zhang Fei heard that it was okay, he hurriedly ordered: "Ling Ming, you suppress the rear army first, and I will rescue Old General Yan."

"Uh... good..." Pang De was very active in asking for a fight, but Zhang Fei didn't give him a chance at all.

Two thousand elites followed Zhang Fei and met Yan Yan at dusk, and Zhang He himself who was chasing him.

Because the sound of dangling water covered up the sound of horses' hoofs, Zhang Yun didn't notice Zhang Fei's reinforcements at all. After breaking through Yan Yan's camp just now, he led thousands of people to chase after them without stopping.

The reason for the bitterness and hatred is that during the confrontation between Zhang He and Yan Yan, his general Gao Zuo laughed at the opponent's age, and he was beheaded by Yan Yan in front of the stronghold.

"Where is Yan Yan going?" Zhang He chased after him with his whip.

"Son Zhang He, Zhang Fei from Yan is here."

In the dim canyon at dusk, Zhang He was about to catch up with Yan Yan.

Suddenly a roar came from Yan Yan's side, and Zhang Xi felt that the voice was quite familiar.

Before he had time to think about it, Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear stabbed head-on, like a meteor falling into the moon.

"Zhang Fei?" Zhang He stared like a copper bell, the man who almost killed himself in Nanjun.

Zhang He was astonished, and the movement of his hands didn't stop at all. He set up the iron spear and tried his best to push away the Zhangba Snake Spear.

"You've done a great job in Berkshire, so just stay here for me today." Zhang Fei smiled, turned back to his horse and rushed over again.

Zhang Xi swallowed his saliva when he heard it, and Zhang Fei's tone seemed to know that he was deep in the ground, so could it be that this reckless man has some schemes?

Zhang He tried his best to fight Zhang Fei, but because of the obvious difference in strength, he couldn't resist after only ten rounds, so he could only beat Ma Shundang Quhe desperately and fled south.

With the power of victory, Zhang Fei not only chased Zhang He's soldiers to kill them, but also successfully recaptured Yan Yan's camp in the canyon. Zhang He threw away his helmet and armor and fled back to Daqingshan's camp.

Taking Dangqu Daqingshan as a stronghold, Zhang He sent Cao Jun to intimidate the people everywhere. In two months, he plundered more than [-] people, and almost every Cao soldier captured a civilian.

In the final stage of driving the people to gather in Dangqu, the successive appearances of Yan Yan and Zhang Fei made Zhang He suspicious, and after returning to Dangqu village, he was in a state of embarrassment and didn't say a word.

"Why does General Zhang look sad? Didn't you break Yan Yan's camp this afternoon? Could it be that this old guy escaped?" Yang Ang asked curiously.

He followed Zhang Lu and surrendered to Cao Cao, but had no chance to go to Yecheng to enjoy the blessings, and was left in Hanzhong under the command of Zhang He.

Zhang He nodded with a bitter face, and after pondering for a moment, he said truthfully: "I almost caught up with that old guy, but it's a pity that Zhang Fei arrived at the critical moment..."

"Zhang Fei? He...how did he appear here? Could it be that there is some scheme to succeed?" Yang Ang asked in surprise.

"Zhang Fei is a reckless man. Where did he get his tricks? Apart from drinking and whipping soldiers for fun, I don't hear that he has any advantages." Zhang Yun showed disdain.

"Isn't Zhang Fei called 'the enemy of ten thousand people'?" Yang Ang asked.

"The main strength of this black servant is too great..."

Although Zhang He didn't want to admit it, he was convinced in terms of martial arts. After all, he had personally experienced it just now, and he called Zhang Fei "the enemy of ten thousand people" or his own people, Boss Cao's advisers Cheng Yu and Guo Jia.

Chapter 418

Yang Ang was intimidated by Zhang Fei's prestige. He saw that Zhang He didn't take it seriously, so he bit the bullet and asked again: "General Jun Yi, there is Yan Yan in the front and Zhang Fei in the back. Isn't Liu Bei eyeing us? If we do everything The troops from the middle of Shu are coming to encircle, then let's..."

Zhang He gave Yang Ang a cold look, and said to himself that you take us too seriously, don't you?Berkshire is remote, with many high mountains and lush forests, and he has no blood feud with him. Unless Liu Bei is crazy, he will recklessly come to encircle and suppress him.

"You can rest at ease. Zhang Fei will definitely set up camp at Yan Yan's old position. We will go down the mountain tomorrow and attack as usual." Zhang Yun waved his hand to signal Yang Ang to go out.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang He and Yang Ang waited and watched on the mountainside. He deduced Zhang Fei's strength based on the number of tents at the foot of the mountain.

"It seems that Zhang Fei only has [-] people, and our total strength is three times that of his. How can this reckless man stop me?" Zhang Yun was overjoyed.

Yang Ang asked: "The general has a plan to defeat the enemy?"

"We are condescending and our troops are superior. Do we need any strategies? You sent people to hide on the mountain and arrange sentries to prevent Zhang Fei from sending people to sneak up the mountain. I will lead the army to fight by myself. Let's see if this black guy can defend In the last few days, it was too late for Liu Bei to send reinforcements." Zhang He turned around and went back to the camp to dispatch troops.

At noon, Zhang He assembled ten thousand people at the foot of the mountain and headed north along the Dangqu River.

Zhang Xi made people walk and shouted loudly, intending to put pressure on Zhang Fei. The loud voice echoed in the valley, startling the birds to fly around.

Zhang Fei led his troops to wait for work in front of the camp. He saw Zhang Yun pointing at the dangqu water on the right and sarcasm: "Son Zhang Yun, your defeated general is so brave. Do you still remember whether the Yishui in the south of Xiangyang is cold or not? If you forget There is still ditch water on the right side."

"Zhang Fei, if it wasn't for Pang Tong's conspiracy, how could you be my opponent? Today, the army is under pressure and you can't kill it quickly?" Zhang He's mouth was not weak at all.

Zhang Fei scratched his head, showing an incredible expression: "Zhang He is very forgetful, forgot that I chased him like a bereaved dog yesterday? Come, come, let me let you recall the memories."

Zhang Fei raised the Zhangba Snake Spear and walked to the front of the formation, signaling Zhang Yun to fight with him in a fair manner.

"Fighting bravely and ruthlessly is the work of a reckless man? This general disdains to fight alone with you, so kill this black fellow for me." Zhang Yun was very self-aware in the two fights. He knew in his heart that he couldn't beat Zhang Fei, so he urged him to fight. The soldiers behind them began to attack.

"Coward." Zhang Fei glared coldly.

The booing in Zhang Fei's camp was instantly covered by the sound of fighting. The two armies fought fiercely at the foot of Daqing Mountain and beside the Dangqu River. However, due to the narrow terrain of the mountain stream and river bend, it was impossible to form a large-scale hedge. As a result, only a few hundred soldiers actually fought. people.

Veteran Yan Yan has rich combat experience, and the location he chose to set up his camp was very good. The camp was like a stone blocking the mouth of a horn, which prevented Zhang Yun's ten thousand army from deploying.

Zhang Fei was on the defensive side at this time, and the archers relied on fortifications such as antlers and archery towers to shoot, so they quickly gained an advantage in the battle.

Zhang Xi leaned on the slope behind to watch the battle, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, because the damage rate of his soldiers was much faster than that of Zhang Fei's defenders. It turned out that this was not the case against Yan Yan.

"Ming Jin withdraws troops." Zhang Yun resolutely stopped the battle for an hour, because he found that today's storm was not going well, because Zhang Fei had more troops than Yan Yan, and they naturally lost less damage by relying on the defense of the camp.

After Zhang He led the army to break up, he fought and left. Zhang Fei took advantage of the situation to cover up the kill and pursue him until he stopped at the foot of the mountain.

"Zhang He, why are you running so well? Are you scared so soon?" Zhang Fei sneered.

"Hei Si, you have the guts to attack the mountain." Zhang He didn't show weakness.

When Zhang Fei was provoked, he was about to give the order to pursue, but when he looked up, he saw a flag looming in the distance. He guessed it was Zhang Yun's reinforcements lying in ambush on the mountainside, so he reined in his horse and said disdainfully, "I have to go back to the camp to drink, so I can't stop." I'm not interested in attacking any mountains."

Seeing that Zhang He was almost able to lure Zhang Fei up the mountain, it was a pity that Yang Ang exposed the critical moment, so after returning to the camp, he cursed: "I asked you to send more scouts, who told you to lead the troops down the mountain with great fanfare?"

With an innocent face, Yang Ang lowered his head and cupped his fists and replied, "It's the sentry who reported that the general was defeated and returned to the mountain. I was worried that the general would lose, so I brought the army to help..."

"What do you mean I was defeated? This general withdrew his troops normally, and Zhang Fei was almost fooled by that reckless man." Zhang Yun slapped the table with his palm.

"Didn't you say that we are condescending and have superior military strength, so we don't need to use tactics..." The more Yang Ang explained Zhang He became speechless, this is the difference between ordinary generals and senior generals, this brain is not flexible at all.

Zhang He said earnestly, stroking his beard and explaining: "Although this is the case, we must adapt to the situation. Now Zhang Fei has more soldiers than Yan Yan. Attacking us like in the past will cause too much damage. If time drags on for too long, Liu Bei will definitely send reinforcements. , then it will be troublesome..."

Yang Ang scratched his head and said thoughtfully: "Since Zhang Fei is a reckless man, why not general Junyi use tricks? We can deploy more archers in the dense forest, as long as we find a way to lure Zhang Fei there. "

"This is a good idea. Zhang Fei likes to drink badly, and he lost Xuzhou because of it. You will lead three thousand troops to ambush in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain tomorrow morning. I will go there later tomorrow to provoke each other with words. That black fellow waits." Being irritable is bound to fall into the trap." Zhang Yun nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, thinking that Yang Ang is not useless.

"The general has a clever plan, and Zhang Fei must be captured." Yang Ang clasped his fists in compliment.

After Zhang Fei returned to the camp, he really picked up the wine jar, but after only taking two sips, he put it on the ground and remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

"Three generals? What's wrong with you?" Yan Yan asked curiously.

Zhang Fei squeezed his chin, "The mountain where Zhang Yun is camping is too high, I'm thinking about how to go up the mountain..."

Yan Yan remonstrated: "Zhang He's army is several times that of ours. The general may not be able to attack the mountain rashly. It is better to stay on this road and wait for work. When Zhang He divides his troops, he will send troops to attack."

"Old General Yan is mature and prudent. I thought so too at first, but I didn't enjoy the fight these two days, so I wondered if I could go up the mountain to fight." Zhang Fei laughed in relief.

Pang De clasped his fists and asked: "Someone has a puzzle and really doesn't understand it. I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"

"Ling Ming can speak freely, you drink very happily, which suits my appetite very much." Zhang Fei responded with a smile.

Pang De nodded, "The mountains in Berkshire are indeed majestic and difficult to navigate, and the terrain here is also very different from that in Hanzhong. It is not easy to defend in every aspect, but Zhang Xi has sent troops to sneak in for a long time. General Yide is not completely ignorant. , why did you wait until now to stop it? Isn’t this raising bandits?”

Zhang Fei sat upright, looked at him and explained, "I just find it troublesome. Lingming, have you ever caught fish? Once there are too many fish, fishing rod alone is not enough."

Pound had a cute face, then shook his head and repeated in doubt: "Fishing? Fishing rod?"

Zhang Fei nodded, "If you want to catch all the fish in one go, you must block the river and set up a weir, so that the fish can be concentrated."

Chapter 419 Zhang Fei's plan

Pound asked the reason seriously, but Zhang Fei explained it by blocking the river and setting up weirs to catch fish, so he frowned and asked, "General, what does this have to do with Zhang Yun?"

Zhang Fei smiled brightly: "If Lingming has the opportunity, he must get in touch with Ziyu more. He likes to use things as metaphors. When I was in Jingnan to attend the lectures in the martial arts class, Lan Ziyu used the cofferdam to catch fish. For example, it is a more interesting method of using troops. I just tried it this time to see if it works.

In addition, the Daba Mountain is endless, if every pass is sent to defend, then I will have to run around and be restrained by Zhang Yun?So let them in as much as you want, and don't let Zhang He remember it deeply. Don't they come here if they don't want to in Berkshire? "

"But the current military strength is very different..." Because Zhang Fei didn't speak clearly, Pang De didn't know anything about cofferdam fishing at all.

"Old General Yan's base is very good. No matter how many Zhang Xi's troops are, we can't stretch them out. Let's play with him here." Zhang Fei looked relaxed.

"We are guarding on this important road, and we must guard against Zhang He who will abandon his luggage and detour to the dangerous road north of Daqing Mountain if he cannot break through the frontal attack." Yan Yan reminded.

Zhang Fei analyzed: "Zhang He is confident that he won't take any risks for a long time, but it's hard to say if we wait a little longer?"

"Why is the general so sure?" Yan Yan asked.

Zhang Fei shook his head, "Let's just wait patiently and we'll find out."

The next morning, Zhang Yun sent a group of soldiers to fight in front of the stronghold. Yan Yan and Pound called for the battle at the same time, but Zhang Fei refused.

Seeing that things were strange, Zhang Fei didn't pursue them. Two hours later, the new Cao army came to fight again, and retreated again in less than half an hour.

Zhang Fei wanted to catch up but was dissuaded by Yan Yan: "Third General, Zhang He didn't show up in the two battles today. I'm afraid there is an ambush behind the roadside. General, please think twice before acting."

Zhang Fei nodded, "Forget it, let's just drink."

After noon, Zhang Yun suddenly led his troops to the front of the stronghold to challenge. Zhang Fei got drunk and got on his horse to prepare for the battle. Pang De rushed over and grabbed his reins and said, "The general drank too much today. It's better for the last general to fight on behalf of the general."

"General Pang is right. After my careful observation, I found that there are many secret sentries on the southeast hillside. The news in our camp cannot be hidden from Zhang Xi. The three generals must not fight drunk." Yan Yan also came to stop him.

"A few pots of wine are nothing, and I carry this treasure with me." Zhang Fei took out a pill from his arms and threw it into his mouth, and then he took the Zhangba Snake Spear out of the camp to fight Zhang He.

"What is that?" Pound was full of doubts.

Yan Yan replied: "It is rumored that the hangover pill developed by Zhang Zhongjing, after taking it, can dissolve the drunkenness and make you sober."

"There are such good things? Why don't you distribute some to everyone?" Pound was surprised.

Yan Yan nodded: "I heard that the main reason is that it takes a long time to prepare the medicinal materials. There are only a hundred pills sent from Jingzhou every year, and most of them are taken by General Yide..."

It was only then that Pang De realized why Zhang Fei was not afraid of drinking, and he had prepared pills to understand alcohol in advance.

The news that Zhang Fei was drunk in the camp reached Zhang He's ears through the sentry on the mountainside, so Zhang He ordered people to scold him in front of the stronghold and challenge Zhang Fei by name.

"Zhang Yun, are you here to die again?" Zhang Fei raised his snake spear and shouted.

"Zhang Fei, I didn't put much effort in the first two times, so I'm going to have a good fight with you today." Zhang Yun stepped forward with his gun ready to fight.

"You won't run away today?" Zhang Fei asked coldly while holding the saddle.

"Until death is the only way to rest." After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he patted his horse and rushed forward.
