Chapter 88 Captive

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were chatting and laughing in the backyard, and suddenly a soldier reported, "There are military information reports between Dingjun Mountain and Yangping Pass!" Liu Bei smiled and said to the two military commanders, "The military information was sent at the same time, but I don't know what the situation is now!" While saying that, he took the military report from the soldier and then ordered him to retreat.

Holding the military newspaper and sitting in the pavilion, Liu Bei took out one and read it.

Liu Bei only looked at it for a few times, then smiled and said to Zhuge Liang: "Wen Chang will definitely live up to my expectations. Cao Hong, the governor of Yangping Pass, was defeated by Wen Chang's plan, and lost the pass. At this time, he led the defeated army to escape from Hanzhong."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Wenchang is quite brave. If the lord can make good use of it, he will be a general."

Liu Bei nodded, knowing that what he said was a rebellious thing from Wei Yan. But he did not want to get entangled on this topic, so he said, "Let's see what Zilong has reported." He took out another military newspaper and started to concentrate on reading.

After watching for a while, Liu Bei became even more happy, he smiled with his hands and said to his left and right: "I have Hanzhong, and I will rely on all the generals!"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he smiled and said, "It must be that Zilong defeated Zhang and He, and that is why the lord is so happy!"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "That's right! Zilong and Zihan seized the Dingjunshan camp when Zhang He led their troops to attack Ma Chao's village at night. Then Ma Chao set up an ambush to defeat Zhang He's army. Now Zhang He's troops are less than 10,000, and they are trapped between Dingjunshan and Yangping Pass. They cannot advance or retreat!" After saying that, he laughed again and said to Zhuge Liang: "Zhang Heyi will be defeated, and Han Lieutenant General is settled!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Although Zhang He was defeated, he still had nearly 10,000 troops under his command, which was a hidden danger. Although Cao Hong fled, he knew that Zhang He's army was still trapped in Hanzhong, so he would definitely recruit reinforcements. The lord still needs to be wary of it early."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "What the military advisor said is very good."

Zhuge Liang said: "Now that Zhang and He are lonely, the lord can make Zilong and others continue to besiege him, and wait until winter begins. He will collapse without fighting! Only Cao Cao's reinforcements are needed."

Liu Bei said: "I wonder what military advisors can do to deal with it?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Cao Cao was trapped in the southeast. I thought he would not come here in person, so he would send a general to lead his troops. When Cao's troops arrived, he would definitely not go to Yangping Pass.

When a general leads troops to attack Yangping, and the army leaves Jigu, the lord can make the general ambush in Jigu, and his army will be defeated."

Liu Bei said: "Who should I go?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Why would you rather call the three generals and their entourage?"

Liu Bei frowned and said, "My third brother is so drunk. He is so angry. How did you do this ambush?"

Zhuge Liang said: "The lord and Ling brother have been together for many years, but they still don't know the character of the third general? Although the third general is reckless in small matters, he will try his best to deal with it whenever he encounters major events. In front of them, there was Dangyang Changban suspected the soldiers and confused Cao Cao, and in the later part, there was Ba County's intention to explain Yan Yan.

Which of these two things can be done by a reckless man?”

Liu Bei nodded after hearing this. He replied, "What the military advisor said is very much! Let's recruit all the generals, and then lead the troops to Yide." At that moment, he took people to recruit all the generals, and he led Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to the General Office.

Soon, all the generals arrived. Liu Bei said that he wanted to lead the troops to set up an ambush in Jigu, but Zhang Fei immediately jumped up and said loudly: "Brother, don't ask others to go, I'll take this trick!"

When the generals saw Zhang Fei talking, they were not as good as Zhang Fei in terms of qualifications and relationships. They knew that they would not be able to rob him, and they all gave up this opportunity.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "I knew Yide would compete for this merit!" He paused and continued, "Since Yide was going, I would use elite troops to ambush you in Jigu. I will ask Zijun to go with you again, and Zijun is by your side. You can also have someone to discuss."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Without Zijun walking with me, I will definitely ask Cao Bing to come and go!"

Wang Ping was beside him, and heard that he could go with him, he said happily: "The last general will help General Zhang retreat all Cao's troops!"

Liu Bei nodded at the top and handed over the military talismans to the two of them. When Zhang Fei arrived in front of him, he reminded him: "When Yide goes, he should put major events first. This battle is related to whether Hanzhong can be pacified. You must be careful. If you encounter any problems, you will discuss with Zijun.

Don't miss me a big deal by drinking."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei said respectfully: "Don't worry, brother. I will do this properly. Brother just need to prepare more wine and wait until I come back to satisfy my cravings."

Liu Bei smiled and then handed the military talisman to Zhang Fei. Then he held Zhang Fei's hand tightly and looked straight for a while. Until Zhang Fei shook it back with his hand, he gave Liu Bei a reassuring look, and then he left.

Wang Ping gave a salute to Liu Bei and followed Zhang Fei out of the general office.

After Zhang Fei left, Liu Bei discussed other matters with the generals, and then asked everyone to disperse, and then continued to talk with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong about how to develop in the future.

Zhuge Liang said first: "The lord should stabilize Hanzhong, and then go out to Qishan, and visit all the land in Longyou, and then visit Guanzhong slowly."

When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded secretly, and was about to ask Zhuge Liang how to do it, Pang Tong said again: "Otherwise, I think the lord should divide his troops, the main force will go out of the Xigu, take Chencang, and then head straight to Chang'an, and the other way will come out of Ziwugu."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he frowned and asked, "Is Shiyuan going to attack Chang'an in surprise?"

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Chang'an has many capitals. How can I take it by surprise alone? I want to leave Ziwu Valley and then divide the troops. I resisted the troops in Guanzhong all the way, and took down all the counties and counties west of Chang'an, and then took the Chencang directly.

In this way, the land west of Chang'an will be fully covered by the Lord's hands, and the land in Longyou can also be slowly drawn to it."

When Liu Bei heard Pang Tong's plan, he asked: "The plan that sir has made is too bold. If all the strange soldiers were lost in Guanzhong, wouldn't it be useless to waste the troops?"

Zhuge Liang also said: "The terrain of Ziwu Valley is steep and cannot be passed in a short time. Isn't this plan of Shiyuan too dangerous?"

Pang Tong smiled and said, "How can a tiger's son be obtained if it doesn't enter the tiger's den? The soldiers leave Ziwu Valley, because the terrain of this valley is steep and not conducive to marching. Cao Wei must not be wary of it, so that he can get the effect of the surprise troops."

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Shi Yuan's plan is too dangerous! A little accident will make the troops and horses lose this in vain."

Pang Tong said, "It is not enough to win a great victory without any risk. If you use a plan, how can you not have any surprises? As the saying goes, planning is up to people. Success is in heaven. If heaven wants to defeat me, what should we do to resist heaven?"

Zhuge Liang did not answer. He believed in the destiny of heaven the most. Pang Tong argued with the destiny of heaven, so Zhuge Liang stopped talking.

Seeing that the two military advisors under him had actually started to fight, Liu Bei hurriedly said, "Don't worry, two military advisors, we have not yet pacified Hanzhong."

Let’s discuss the matters in Guanzhong in the future!” Then he called his left and right to bring wine and food. The three of them made it easier for them to eat in the backyard and talk about other topics.

A few days later, Liu Bei discussed matters with two military advisors, and suddenly there was a report from the left and right, "General Xue Bing and Xue sent someone to escort Cao General Guo Huai, and attached a letter. Please ask the lord to take a look."

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, looked at Zhuge Liang and said suspiciously: "Zihan sent someone to take the prisoners here, why is this?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Zi Han has been with the lord for many years. Isn't the lord still understand Zi Han as a human being? Zi Han sees people's accuracy. Liang is also ashamed of himself. Now he sent someone to rob him, which must be because he thought that this person is talented and could not bear to be killed in front of the formation.

He specially sent it to the lord for disposal. If the lord doesn't believe it, he can take Zihan's letter to look at it."

When Liu Bei heard this, he thought to himself and said to himself, "Zihan looks at people, but he is accurate." Then he said to the soldier, "Where is the letter? Let me take it to read it.

"The soldier quickly took out Xue Bing's letter and presented it to Liu Bei. Liu Bei hurriedly took out the letter and read it carefully. After reading it, he laughed and said to Zhuge Liang: "Zi Han said in the letter that this person is very knowledgeable about strategy. He is good at planning and is a wise general.

Huang Zhong and Ma Chao also suffered defeat at this person..." After saying that, he looked happy.

Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei had an old problem again. When he saw the talent, his eyes lit up and said with a smile: "However, this person is a general of Wei. If the lord wants to take it for himself, he must make some arrangements."

When Liu Bei heard this, he replied: "What the military advisor said is very much. I would like to ask me."

Zhuge Liang said strangely: "Where did Zi Han say in his letter?" He said in his heart: "With Zi Han's personality, if he catches such a talent, he will definitely think about the strategy of subdueing the lord, but why didn't he mention it this time?"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Zihan said in the letter that if I want to take it for myself, I just need to ask the teacher."

Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard this. When Liu Bei saw it, he laughed secretly and took out the letter and asked Zhuge Liang to read the contents of the book. But he saw that it said, "If the lord wants to take Guo Huai for his own use, please ask Zhuge Military Advisor. The great wisdom of the military advisor will definitely live up to the lord's expectations.

"Zhuge Liang took a look and said to himself: "Good you Xue Zihan, you have got a prisoner and plotted against me!" However, Liu Bei asked for advice and had to teach him, so he said to Liu Bei's ear: "It's not difficult for the lord to accept this person, but..."

But it was said that there was a big battle on Dingjun Mountain that day. Xue Bing rushed back and forth among the chaotic troops, and no one could stop him. Seeing that he was brave, Guo Huai wanted to step forward to stop him for a while, but he was treated as a small mistress and was flirted with him.

In fact, with Guo Huai's force, although he could not defeat Xue Bing, he should not fall down so easily. However, he was surrounded by Cao soldiers. At this time, these soldiers could not use their fists and feet. When Xue Bing swept his halberd, Guo Huai was blocked from his sight. He didn't even see clearly. He was swept straight by the halberd, and then flew to the side and fainted on the ground.

Afterwards, Cao's soldiers could not find the main general, but said that the main general had already escaped or died in battle, and they all lost the courage to continue fighting. The number of people who asked for surrender gradually increased. Seeing that Cao's soldiers were all surrendered, Xue Bing left some troops to control the surrendered troops, and led most of the troops down the mountain to help Zhao Yun go.

When he returned to the mountain, his soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. Suddenly someone reported: "A living mouth was found in the body, which seemed to be Guo Huai, Sima of Cao's army."

Xue Bing was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly asked someone to bring him up and let Cao Bing recognize him. Only then did she confirm that the look of her eyes was a little confused, as if her head had not yet woken up was Guo Huai.
