Chapter 43: Take Sichuan (11)

Xue Bing and Fa Zheng looked at the fire below and soared into the sky. The screams mixed in it made people feel cold all over. Fa Zheng looked at this scene and said to Xue Bing, "Can the general want to use fire plan from the beginning?" Xue Bing replied, "Yes!" There was no joy on his face when he was Yan, and he said in his heart: "This method is too cruel. How can he win if he is not cruel to the enemy?"

The two watched for a while, and during this period, Xue Bing asked the stone car to throw oil bombs in densely located enemy soldiers, and then asked the rockets to ignite them. In addition, it was winter at this time and the weather was dry. The entire mountain road turned into a sea of ​​fire in a moment.

The fire burned for half a day. Xue Bing watched the mountain for a while and ordered the crossbow to shoot upwards from time to time. When the fire at the foot of the mountain gradually dimmed, Xue Bing ordered to his left and right: "Tell me my order and withdraw the troops and return to the pass!" Wei Yan asked after hearing this, "General, have you not gone down the mountain to clean up the battlefield?" Xue Bing said, "Those are left for Ma Chao to do!" Wei Yan stopped talking after hearing this.

However, Xue Bing led the army back to Jiameng Pass, and Ma Chao also received a report from the central army, saying that Ma Dai was ambushed by the enemy and the 10,000 troops were burned clean. Ma Dai's life and death were unknown. Ma Chao was shocked when he heard the news and rushed to see Ma Dai's hidden place.

Ma Chao led the army to rush for a day before he arrived. But he saw burnt corpses, horse corpses, or human corpses everywhere, and the smell of barbecue and burnt smell was emitting around him. These smells were mixed together, making the smells of nausea and vomiting. Ma Chao didn't care about these. When he saw this scene, he was anxious as fire and shouted to the people around him: "Hurry! Go and find Ma Dai! Live to see people, and die to see corpses!" He took the order and hurriedly went.

Seeing Ma Chao like this, the first school advised, "General, the fire is so tragic. I think General Ma Dai is also..." Before he finished speaking, he heard Ma Chao ask lightly: "Can you know who is the guardian of Jiameng Pass?" The school did not react for a while and was stunned for a moment before saying, "I heard that Liu Bei sent Meng Da and Huo Jun to guard the pass." Ma Chao said, "Hmph, these two people will not be able to use such a plan, who else can be in Guanzhong?" The school said, "There is no one else in Guanzhong. However, the day before yesterday, I found out that Liu Bei sent his general Xue Bing to lead his troops to Jiameng Pass. Could it be that he has arrived?" Ma Chao said angrily: "It must be this person!" The silver teeth in his mouth were bitten and clattered.

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran to Ma Chao and said, "We have found General Ma Dai!" After hearing this, Ma Chao asked, "Do you still survive?" The soldier replied, "We found General Ma Dai under the big stone in front. General Ma Dai was not injured, but was fainted by the thick smoke." Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Take me to see you!" The soldier hurriedly led Ma Chao to look at the big stone in front of him.

When he arrived at the stone, Ma Chao jumped off the horse and ran to the bottom of the stone. He was just seeing Ma Dai wake up with a cough. When Ma Chao saw it, he hurriedly squatted down and asked, "Has my brother been injured?" Ma Dai had just woken up, and was so smoky that he was dizzy before. When he saw Ma Chao, he didn't realize what was going on. This made Ma Chao anxious enough. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ma Chao asked a few more questions: "Where did you hurt me?" So he looked at his whole body, but there was no scar at all.

After a moment of ease, Ma Dai was already awake. When he saw Ma Chao, he said, "Brother!" but he felt very uncomfortable in his throat, as if he had been burned by fire, and he could no longer speak. When Ma Chao heard Ma Dai call him, he hurriedly responded, "I'm here! What do you want to say?" After waiting for a while, he saw Ma Dai open his mouth several times, but he didn't spit out a word.

At this time, a soldier next to him said, "General, General Ma Dai was hurt by smoke, and I think he couldn't speak." After hearing this, Ma Chao woke up and said, "Let me rest for you first, wait for you to avenge you for me!" Ma Dai kept silent when he heard this. When Ma Chao saw it, he knew that Ma Dai had suffered this great disaster and needed a rest, so he ordered people to serve him well and follow the central army and move forward slowly.

After Ma Dai was arranged, Ma Chao ordered people to clean up the place. All the bodies of the dead were buried. The undead... Ma Chao searched for a long time and had not found a non-dead person. I think those injured but still moved had already escaped from this place. The injured and unable to move had already turned into a scorched corpse like others. Thinking of this, it was a miracle that Ma Dai could survive. Ma Chao even said in his heart: "Is it God is also blessing me?"...

Besides, Xue Bing defeated Ma Chao's army with an ambush and led his troops back to Jiameng Pass. As soon as he entered the Pass, he saw a pretty figure standing by the road looking at him. Xue Bingyu immediately looked at her carefully, but he couldn't help but feel excited. Thinking about the last time they had been a few months ago, she was just pregnant at that time. Now, her belly has bulged, and she has no naughty appearance at the time, replaced by a kind of maternal glory.

"You have grown up!" Xue Bing stared at the figure on the side of the road with her eyes. "I'll wait for you!" The beautiful figure also conveyed this message with her eyes, and then she stood up with her belly and helped her leave the original place by the maid beside her.

Xue Bing watched her gradually disappear into the distance, and then he took his eyes back. He also needed to go to the mansion to deal with some things.

He expressed his merits and then assigned a task to guard the pass. When Xue Bing finished all these things, it was already midnight. After coming out of the mansion, Xue Bing stretched his waist and said to himself, "I finally finished it all. I didn't expect that it would be just a small victory. There was so much to be busy with after the end. If it was a big battle, I really don't know what the scene would be." After thinking for a while, he felt that these were not what he thought about now, so he called the soldiers beside him and ordered: "Go and take me on my horse!" The guards around him said, "It's late at night now, and the general doesn't go to the back hall to rest, but where are you going?" Xue Bing smiled and said, "I have my own residence here, so I won't rest here!" After hearing this, the personal soldiers stopped talking, so they led Xue Bing to the door.

Xue Bing got on the horse and ran away. After a short while, she stopped outside a large mansion. Someone had been here to meet her. Seeing Xue Bing stopping the horse, she hurried forward and took the horse over, saying, "Madam, have been waiting for a long time!" Xue Bing heard this and said, "Feat some grass for my horse!" Then she went straight into the house.

This house was arranged for him when he came to Jiameng Pass with Liu Bei. After he left with Liu Bei, Sun Shangxiang had been living here. In addition to the two maids that Xue Bing specially bought, they were all the personal soldiers around Xue Bing. Therefore, he was very familiar with Xue Bing, and no one dared to come forward to stop him along the way.

When he arrived at the inner house, he saw that the lights were still on in the bedroom. Xue Bing knew that Sun Shangxiang was waiting for him. The frequency was increased unconsciously, and he wanted to get into the bedroom in the blink of an eye.

As he got closer, he was approaching. Xue Bing had already stepped into the house with one foot. At this time, a maid rushed out. Seeing that Xue Bing was about to speak, but was stopped by Xue Bing. Seeing that the maid understood what she meant, Xue Bing whispered: "Madam isn't sleeping yet?" She saw that she was holding wine and food in her hand, but the food was never moved.

The maid said, "Madam hasn't stopped yet." Seeing Xue Bing look at the wine and food in her hand, she said, "Madam, I will go and heat up these vegetables again." Xue Bing nodded when she heard this and signaled her to go down. Then the maid went with the wine and food.

When Xue Bing saw that the maid had gone far, she slowly walked in. When he couldn't see Sun Shangxiang, he was always worried about it. Now he was about to see him, but he was not in a hurry. He slowly walked into the bedroom and Xue Bing saw the familiar back. Sun Shangxiang was sitting on the collapse and was muttering something. Xue Bing walked over gently and heard Sun Shangxiang say, "Son! You are about to see your father! I thought your father could not be with you when you were born, and I was quite regretful for my mother. But Uncle Liu transferred your father to guard Jiameng Pass again, which made our family successful." After a pause, he said, "You are constantly calm all day long, why are you honest today?"

Sun Shangxiang was talking to the child in her belly, but she didn't expect that after she finished her words, someone behind her answered: "I think the girl in her belly is a girl. She was unhappy when she heard you call her son, so she ignored you!" Sun Shangxiang was shocked when she heard the words clearly. After hearing the sound of her speech, she immediately turned around, her big eyes were filled with tears of joy, and she looked at Xue Bing for a while before saying, "You are back!"

Xue Bingyi and Sun Shangxiang looked at each other for a while. After hearing Sun Shangxiang's words, they said lightly: "I'm back!" After Xue Bing finished reading, she opened her arms and opened her heart completely. Sun Shangxiang didn't answer, and immediately rushed in. The tears in her eyes could no longer be held, and she slid out of Sun Shangxiang's eyes, soaking Xue Bing's clothes.

The two hugged each other for a long time, and Sun Shangxiang had already stopped crying. Although she was still in Xue Bing's arms, she just felt that if she could keep hugging her, it would be the most beautiful thing. Even when the maid brought the hot dishes in, she couldn't bear to come out of Xue Bing's arms.

"Ouch!" The two were enjoying the warmth of this moment, but Sun Shangxiang suddenly cried out in pain, scaring Xue Bing to death, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Sun Shangxiang gave him a blank look, then smiled and said, "What else can you do? The little guy is not honest and just kicked me!"

After hearing this, Xue Bing smiled foolishly for a while, then stared at Sun Shangxiang's belly for a long time, then woke up and said, "You are pregnant now, why don't you rest well?" So he pulled Sun Shangxiang to sit on the collapse. However, Sun Shangxiang could only sit on General Xue's lap, but he couldn't touch it anywhere else.

Sun Shangxiang sat on Xue Bing's lap, leaning her whole body in his arms, and said lightly: "You have been away for several months. Do you know how much I miss you these days?"

Xue Bing said: "I have been going for several months. Do you know how much I miss you? When I heard that Ma Chao led his troops to attack Jiameng Pass, I was so scared that I was so anxious that I was flying. Do you know how anxious I was at that time?"

When Sun Shangxiang heard this, she felt as if she had eaten honey in her heart and said, "You have a conscience!" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped and frowned tightly, as if she was patient. But she said that she was leaning in Xue Bing's arms. The two were so close to each other, what was wrong with her? How could Xue Bing not know? Seeing her like this, she hurriedly said, "What's wrong? What's wrong?" Sun Shangxiang said, "It's okay, the little guy kicked me again! I think it's because he knows that his father is back, maybe this child is happy too!"

When Xue Bing heard this, she chuckled again, and then said, "Is this kid so active? I've kicked you all day long?" Sun Shangxiang said, "That's right! I think it must be a boy, otherwise why is it so active?" Xue Bing heard this and shaved Sun Shangxiang's nose lightly, which made her frown. Xue Bing saw her like this and smiled, "That's probably a girl who follows your temperament!"

But this sentence made Sun Shangxiang frown and said, "What if it is a girl?" Xue Bing was stunned when she heard this, but before she could react, she just said, "What's wrong with the girl?" When she saw Sun Shangxiang looking at him with a panic look on her face, she asked him, "Don't you want a boy to pass on the family line?" After hearing this, Xue Bing reacted and smiled and said, "Is it fool, it's not your decision to have a boy or a girl!" Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was still frowning, she comforted him, "If it is a girl, it's just for rebirth! Moreover, I like girls very much!" Sun Shangxiang heard this and let go of her frowning brows and asked, "Really?" Xue Bing said, "Of course!"

When Sun Shangxiang heard this, she let go of the big stone in her heart. She had always thought that she was pregnant with her son. When she talked with Xue Bing today, she realized what if it was really like Xue Bing said, and she was actually a girl, what should she do? In fact, this was not Sun Shangxiang's problem. At this time, the atmosphere was like this, and the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls was very high. If a woman could not give birth to a boy, her status would plummet. After all, Sun Shangxiang was a person of this era. Even if she was different, she would inevitably fall into common thoughts.

But she didn't know that Xue Bing was not from this era. Moreover, Xue Bing happened to care about such things. She just thought that boys and girls were not the same, what's the difference? Moreover, according to Xue Bing's own idea, there was such a father who traveled through time and a mother who was so advanced, so how could this kid be ordinary?

The two of them chatted for a long time, and Xue Bing finally made Sun Shangxiang happy again. In the end, they couldn't stand the sleepiness, and then they hugged each other...

The next day, Xue Bing got up early. After washing up, she looked at Sun Shangxiang who was still asleep on the fall, and then turned around and left the door. The personal soldiers had already prepared their horses, and Xue Bing got on the horse and headed straight for the government office. Today, we still need to discuss how to deal with Ma Chao's attack.

But when Xue Bing arrived at the mansion, Wei Yan and others had already arrived at Qi. When they saw Xue Bing, everyone stood up to greet him. After Xue Bing returned the tribute, they sat down and said, "Today, they were recruiting all the officials to discuss how to deal with Ma Chao's army."

Wei Yan took the lead and said: "The soldiers come and the generals come and the generals come and the water comes and the soil covers the earth!"

Meng Da said: "Ma Chao is a powerful general in the world, and he also has a general Pang De under his command, and his troops are several times more than me. It is better to defend according to the gates. I want to use the strength of Jiameng Pass to make Ma Chao unable to enter."

Xue Bing was about to say something, and Fa Zheng first said: "What Meng Da said is very reasonable. After all, the lord now focuses on how to get all the Xichuan River, and I am here. As long as you drag Ma Chao for a year and a half, you will be considered to be the best!"

Huo Jun also said: "Mr. Xiaozhi said very much. Although Ma Chao has many soldiers, the general came here and brought 15,000 troops. In addition, there were soldiers in Guanzhong, but they were not much smaller than Ma Chao. They also had the benefits of the city gate. I think Ma Chao would do nothing to us."

Seeing that everyone said it, Xue Bing said, "What the Lords said is very much. At this moment, it is naturally the most important thing to defend this pass. However, how can we sit quietly in Guanzhong and wait for it to attack?"

When Fa Zheng heard this, he said, "According to the general's intention, should attack instead of defense?" Xue Bing smiled and said, "That's right!"

Wei Yan said, "Since the general wants to come out of the pass to meet the enemy, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" Xue Bing glanced at Wei Yan and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Chief Wen, I didn't say that I would fight a head-on battle with Ma Chao!" After hearing this, Wei Yan said in confusion: "Is it the general that he wants to attack instead of defense? If he doesn't send troops, how can he attack instead of defense?"

Xue Bing said, "Sending troops is to send troops, but not to attack!" Fa Zheng smiled and said, "What kind of trick does the general have?" Xue Bing looked at Fa Zheng, and saw that he looked confident and seemed to be confident. He thought to himself, "This guy must have a plan, but he didn't say it directly! Why are these strategists so bad?" But he said, "There is no plan, I'm just about to ask Mr. Yu, and I'll ask Mr. Yu to teach me!"

Fa Zheng looked at Xue Bing, and saw that he was joking with a cramped look. He knew that he was joking, so he said, "General Xue, don't fool Yu Zheng!" Xue Bing smiled and said, "Just make a joke, Xiaozhi don't blame Xiaozhi!" Then he continued, "I think of this plan, Xiaozhi thought of it too! It's a tired soldier!"

When Wei Yan and others heard this, they were puzzled, so Fa Zheng smiled and said, "Ma Chao's army was exhausted and was attacked by the general on the way. When they reached the end of the gate, they would definitely be a tired army!"

After hearing this, Wei Yan hurriedly said, "If this is the case, you should attack his camp with elite troops, and you will definitely succeed!" Fa Zheng said, "Ma Chao is not a reckless man. How could he not expect our army to attack his camp when he is tired? I think after the first establishment of the camp, he must be strictly guarded to guard against our army's sneak attack." Wei Yan heard this, and asked again, "That is the tired soldiers that General Tsai said. Could it be that they continue to harass their army and prevent their tired soldiers from resting?"

Fa Zheng was surprised when he heard this, but Xue Bing smiled and said, "What Wen Zhang said is not bad. I am making him tired and making him unable to sleep even when he sleeps! He was tired and exhausted, so how could Ma Chao attack us?" After saying that, he laughed. Meng Da heard it below and hurriedly said, "General Xue's plan is indeed brilliant!"

Just as he was right, a small school came to report that Ma Chao's army had reached the gates and had arrived ten miles away from here.

Xue Bing received the report and said with a smile: "Finally, the generals obey the order!" Everyone hurriedly got up and obeyed the order. Jinghou Xue Bing ordered. Xue Bing first turned around these people, and then said: "Meng Da, Huo Jun obey the order." Meng Da, Huo Jun took a step forward and replied: "The last general is here!" Xue Bing said: "I order you two to lead three thousand troops each to prepare more bronze drums and other beating objects. When it gets dark, Meng Da will lead the troops to the right outside Ma Chao's village. The bronze drums will be beaten together.

Ma Chao led his army out and then withdrew his troops back to the pass." Then he said to Huo Jun: "General Huo is waiting in Guanzhong. At the third day of the day, he will lead his troops to the left outside Ma Chao's village to act like Meng Da!" Then he said to the two: "Every hour, you two will take turns to go outside Ma Chao's village to beat him. The specific time can be changed appropriately. When it is dawn, you can withdraw your troops back to the pass." The two said, "Get orders!" and took the order and left, and went to do something.

Seeing that the two of them were gone, Xue Bing said to Wei Yan again: "Wen Chang has a good rest today. When tomorrow dawn, he will lead his troops out of the pass and go out to Ma Chao's village to yell and challenge. If Ma Chao doesn't come out, he will beat the war drums. If he comes out, Wen Chang can respond quickly and then retreat to the pass. When Ma Chao returns to the village, he will go and call again." Wei Yan also said, "Get the order!" and went down.

Xue Bing looked at it, and only himself and Fa Zheng were left in the hall. The two looked at each other and laughed. Just as they were smiling, Xue Bing suddenly said, "Xiaozhi can watch this drama with me in Guanzhong." Fa Zheng heard this and hurriedly said, "I'll get the order!" After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.

But at night, the moon in the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was no light coming out. Meng Da led three thousand soldiers and horses to the right side of Ma Chao's village, and then sent a spy to wait for the visitor to report, "There was no movement in Ma Chao's village, and it seemed like he had a rest!" Meng Da thought to himself, "I was so tired that I had to rest. If I led my troops into the village and defeated Ma Chao in one battle, how much would it be." After thinking about it, I suddenly felt that although this idea was tempting, the risk was too great, and it was really impossible to take risks with my life. So as Xue Bingzhi's instructions, he took out the blowing and beating equipment, and then ordered to the left and right: "Whike what should be blowing, beat what should be beat! I tried all my strength, and I must ask the distinguished guests in the village to listen clearly!"

After this order, Meng Da's three thousand soldiers tried their best to trick the guy in his hand. They either blow or beat, but in short, the louder they could make, the louder they could make. The surrounding valleys were full of echoes.

But the three thousand soldiers were having fun. A torch suddenly lit in Ma Chao's village, and the noise was noisy. He rushed out of the village gate in the blink of an eye and looked out. Meng Da received the urgent report from the spy and said in his heart: "Looking at this reaction, I must have made preparations. Fortunately, I didn't rush to lead the troops in, otherwise my life would be unsuccessful!" He hurriedly ordered to the left and right, "Retreat for me!" At the same time, he ordered: "Let those who can free up their hands, come up a few times when they run! When I order not to knock!" The three thousand soldiers ran away with Meng Da in the blink of an eye. During this period, the 3000 soldiers came up a few times from time to time, causing the troops chasing behind him to chase for a while.

But Ma Chao led his troops to chase him for a while, and at first he could still find the direction by using the sound. After a while, there was no sound. In addition, there was no moonlight tonight, so he couldn't find where the troops were going, so he had to lead the soldiers back to the camp and said intimately: "This must be sent by Xue Bing to explore the virtual and real things in my camp. I have to be careful!" He did not take off his armor, but just sat quietly in the tent. However, after waiting for a while, he did not see Xue Bing's soldiers arrive. He only thought that Xue Bing saw that he was ready and was not ready to attack the camp, so he ordered the army to rest. He also took off his armor and lay down in the tent.

And in the darkness, Huo Jun was leading a group of people to look at Ma Chao's village.

"Be gentle, don't make any noise!"

"What do you knock? You will be able to knock later!"
