Chapter 1341: Zhuge Liang Appears

Liu Bei was in Luocheng, discussing how to defeat Liu Zhang, when he suddenly heard bad news from the defeated soldiers.

"What? The appearance of Yuan Xi's banner, Jiameng Pass and Fushui Pass were all lost? Guan Ping and Huo Jun died in battle, and Yun Chang's life is unknown?"

Liu Bei was stunned for a long time by this shocking news, and Lei was so anxious that he couldn't get over his breath.

After recovering, Liu Bei's first words were: "I am sworn sworn to life and death with Yunchang in Taoyuan. Yunchang must not have anything to do!"

Xu Shu persuaded: "My lord, I'm sorry, I'm looking at the face of the general who passed the pass. His fate is precious, and he is not someone who died young. Now, the situation of our army is a little critical."

Liu Bei also experienced setbacks and training. At the beginning, the three brothers were displaced and separated from each other; Guan Yu was even captured by Cao Cao as a coolie. Why have you never seen such a big storm?

Liu Bei immediately calmed down and said, "Military teacher, please tell me."

Xu Shu said: "Yuan Xi seized Jiameng Pass and Fushui Pass, which is equivalent to breaking our connection with Jingzhou. Our army is trapped in Xichuan, with Liu Zhang in the front and Yuan Xi in the back; food and grass are in urgent need, and there is no backup. If Liu Zhang and Yuan Xi attacked from front to back, and we are defending Luocheng, but we are unpopular, so it may be difficult to maintain."

Although Liu Bei has a reputation for benevolence, after all, he has just occupied Luocheng, so it is normal to lose the hearts of Luocheng.

When defending the city, don't think about mobilizing the power of the masses, you can only rely on the tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers brought by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei also realized the seriousness of the matter, and said, "Then what should we do now?"

Xu Shu said: "The only way is to send capable messengers to sneak into Jingzhou and ask Kong Ming to send reinforcements."

Liu Bei regretted and said: "The military adviser said this before, but when I wrote back to Jingzhou, I just let Kong Ming make his own decision. If you know that the situation is so critical, you should ask Kong Ming to come to help as soon as possible."

Wei Yan suggested: "It's better to let me lead an army, sneak across the Fu River, steal Mianzhu, and push into Chengdu. As long as Chengdu can be captured, Yizhou is in the palm of the lord, and it is too late for Yuan Xi to fight for it."

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "The situation is critical now, let alone act recklessly. Not to mention whether you can break through Mianzhu, even if you can break through, how can you break through Chengdu?"

Wei Yan said in a low voice: "That Zhang Song, Biejia, can be used as an internal response? With him opening the city gate, it is not a trivial matter to destroy Chengdu. Now such a predicament, if you don't use a trick, you can only sit and wait for failure."

Liu Bei said: "Master Wen, don't be rude to the military division."

Although Liu Bei stopped Wei Yan, the generals were still a little moved by Wei Yan's strategy.

However, another messenger arrived later, this time it was a letter from Jingzhou.

"This must be the reply letter from the military adviser Zhuge." Liu Bei hurriedly opened it to read it as if he had found a treasure.

After reading it, Liu Bei couldn't help praying to the sky: "Fortunately, Kong Ming, the sky will not stop me!"

Everyone hurriedly asked what was written in the letter.

Liu Bei passed the letter on to everyone, saying: "After receiving my last letter, the military master Zhuge looked at the sky at night and found the land in Bazhong, gathering the stars; It was deduced that the Yuan army in Hanzhong must have some action. Therefore, the Zhuge army division has dispatched troops in advance and is on the way to Yizhou. Within three days, there must be good news."

Hearing this, Xu Shu sighed: "Kong Ming is thousands of miles away, and he has a clear understanding of Yuan Jun's conspiracy. It is really unpredictable."

Liu Bei said: "Yuanzhi also has great talents,

If I want to help the world, I still need to rely on your wisdom. "

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "How can my trivial ability, such as the fluorescence of rotten grass, compare to the bright moon in the sky? But what I am worried about is, what will Jingzhou do if Kong Ming leads the army to help?"

Liu Bei said in astonishment: "Military Master Zhuge said in his letter that the five counties of Jingzhou have reached the point where he cannot give up. However, he has already made a plan for how to deal with it. In short, we must make the situation as beneficial to our army as possible."

...

After winning two passes, Bai Xiaowen led his army to the south and approached Luocheng.

Liu Bei couldn't hold on.

At the same time, Bai Xiaowen also got bad news.

Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei led their armies westward, captured Bajun, and surrendered Bajun's prefect Yan Yan. Along the way, all the passes, big and small, surrendered without a fight.

All the generals are calling for battle, and they must break through Luocheng as soon as possible, lest Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang meet.

Bai Xiaowen looked at the tall Luocheng, shook his head and said: "The strength of Liu Bei's army in Luocheng is far from comparable to that of Jiameng Pass. Our army's strong attack, even if we can break through in the end, will inevitably cause heavy casualties. At that time, we will no longer have the ability to continue to conquer Sichuan. On the contrary, it is cheaper for Liu Zhang."

There was one more thing Bai Xiaowen didn't say.

If the city of Luo could not be broken, and the soldiers were exhausted, and Zhuge Liang attacked from behind, Yuan Jun would probably be defeated.

With Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness, if he set up a few more ambushes... Bai Xiaowen didn't have the face to let Guan Yu let Guan Yu go on Huarong Road.

Here I want to say that Jiameng Pass is the gateway of Hanzhong and Xichuan, but not the gateway of Jingzhou and Xichuan. Zhuge Liang led the army to kill from Bajun, all of them were Liu Zhang's army, and there was no need to pass through Jiameng Pass and Fushui Pass.

Liu Zhang's army is too weak. What the hell is it that you look forward to the wind and surrender along the way?

Of course, there is this time in Romance, the main problem is Yan Yan. This prefect of Berkshire had a high prestige in Berkshire. After he was subdued by Zhang Fei, the pass behind him personally went out to persuade him to surrender, and there was no one who refused.

Now, not only Zhang Fei, but also Zhuge Liang commanded the army, it should not be too easy to subdue Yan Yan.

After Bai Xiaowen thought about it, it is better to adopt the tactic of "surrounding the spot to fight for aid".

Ever since, Bai Xiaowen calculated Zhuge Liang's marching speed and the distance to Luocheng, and then made some plans and arrangements.

First of all, in the camp near Luocheng, a false banner was set up, and only a few soldiers and horses were left to maintain a daily battle situation.

Then, about 150 miles to the east of Luocheng, there is a dangerous place called Huluyu. Bai Xiaowen personally led the army and ambushed here.

Of course, Li Shuyi trusts Bai Xiaowen 100%.

But Cecilia was a little curious, and asked, "Zhuge Liang is said to be the most powerful military strategist in the world. Will he ambush soldiers like you designed?"

Bai Xiaowen said: "If Zhuge Liang is alone, of course not. But with Zhang Fei, it's not necessarily so."

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said: "In Romance, after Zhuge Liang was recruited by Liu Bei Sangu Maolu as a military adviser, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't like him very much. His reputation in Liu Bei's camp was mainly due to the burning of Bowangpo. , Fancheng was burned the second time, and it was created on Cao Cao's vanguard. Now that he has no chance to earn his reputation, whether Zhang Fei will obey him is a question."

Li Shuyi said: "Zhang Fei should be more worried about Liu Bei's safety. So it is possible to force the army regardless of Zhuge Liang's advice."
