Chapter 1010 I Am Among the Enemies
Inside the Kingdom of Shu, there are many contradictions.
This comes from Liu Bei's unwillingness to bow his head and become a minister.
On the eve of the final decisive battle in Chengdu, Liu Zhang, the king of Hanzhong, strongly demanded that Liu Bei surrender his military power. This approach is worthy of recognition.
Liu Bei didn't want to hand over military power
He had no choice but to elect Liu Zhang as the king of Hanzhong, established the Kingdom of Shu, and became a member of the banner.
If you hand over your military power now, then Liu Bei will withdraw from the stage of fighting for world hegemony.
Liu Bei knew that these civil and military people in Xichuan hated him, but Liu Zhang, the king of Hanzhong, was a man without his own opinion.
So he sent the mastermind, Fazheng, to Chengdu to meet Liu Zhang in secret.
Based on the clan of the Han Dynasty, Fazheng stated that Liu Bei very much hoped to resist Yuan Tan, the enemy of the Han Dynasty, together with his brother Liu Zhang.
And vowed that when the weather changes, Liu Bei will naturally leave Xichuan and never return.
Liu Zhang's heart was moved. In his heart, he wanted to unify the world. Don't be kidding, he knew that he was not that material at all.
Liu Zhang is similar to the second generation Liu Chan in history. Although he is incompetent, he also has self-knowledge, and he can keep his ancestral property safe and secure for a lifetime.
Liu Zhang was moved. After all, without Liu Bei, he knew he couldn't resist Yuan Tan.
So he overcame all opinions and agreed.
The two parties agreed to meet in a neutral area in the wild on the fifteenth day of this month.
...
The fifteenth day of autumn in 207 AD.
Thirty miles north of Chengdu, this is the extreme edge of the combat radius of the Shu army on the Chengdu battlefield in later generations.
There is a small city called Xindu.
It is also thirty miles away from Luocheng, Yuan Tan's control area.
When the sun was high, 80,000 troops gathered outside the city.
Liu Zhang, the king of Hanzhong, and Liu Bei, the emperor's uncle, arrived here to prepare for peace talks.
Both sides also brought large armies,
Take the generals to prevent the opponent from annexing you suddenly.
Liu Zhang's army numbered 50,000, and they were all dressed in Shu costumes, with green as the keynote.
And Liu Bei's army has 30,000 people, most of them are green, but some are orange, and these are veterans who followed Liu Bei in the South and North Wars.
Xincheng government office is the place for peace talks.
Unavoidably, there was an accident, and thousands of people in the small town had been emptied.
Moreover, the two sides sent their confidantes to conduct a comprehensive search into the city to ensure the safety of the peace talks meeting.
Moreover, when Liu Bei and Liu Zhang entered the city, the two sides only sent a small number of personnel to jointly manage the city gate.
The 80,000 troops of both sides are on standby outside the city.
Amidst the horn sounding at the beginning of the solemn peace talks, there were bored soldiers from both sides outside the city.
And in a dense forest ten miles away.
Yuan Tan lurks here with five hundred tiger guards. Some of his soldiers were wearing the military uniforms of the Shu army, and some were the military uniforms of Liu Bei veterans.
There are also many water trucks parked.
Yuan Tan attaches great importance to this peace talk with Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, which is related to whether he can successfully capture Chengdu and destroy the Kingdom of Shu. And he didn't want to see the huge casualties in the Battle of Chengdu, so he had to sabotage the enemy's peace talks. It would be great if it could trigger an internal confrontation.
Yuan Tan took a bottle of Nongfu Spring and drank it, feeling a little sweet. Speaking of which, the water in this ancient wilderness is said to be pure and pure, but it is said to be impure because there are many insect eggs.
Just a few days ago, he had a stomachache, and his heart moved, so he hurried to the pharmacy in the department store to take insecticide. Dude, I got a 20cm worm stuck in my ass last night when I pooped.
This frightened him, killing him like hemp and making him feel hairy all over. Fortunately, he was brave enough to pull it out alive with his hands, and threw it on the ground, still twisting.
It seems that there is still a big gap between him and Mr. Bei Yede.
After all, there is no vaccine.
It is best to drink bottled water if you are not acclimatized.
Zhuge Liang was standing beside him, fanning himself, staring at Nongfu Spring. This must be a material sent by the gods to the eldest son from the upper realm, right? The heart of awe arises spontaneously.
"Young Master." Pang Tong rushed over, "Liu Bei and Liu Zhang have already started peace talks, and according to reports from Tian Cewei's spies, the possibility of success is very high."
Zhuge Liang walked to the front from the side, "My lord, we must not let them have sex."
If they agree, at least 10,000 more people will be buried in the Shence Army under the city of Chengdu. This is still a very smooth situation.
Yuan Tan said: "Not bad. Then, follow the plan."
So he drank the Nongfu mountain spring, threw the bottle, and said in a deep voice, "Dianwei, you are taking the badge of Zhang Ren's troops and pretending to be the Shu army..."
"Here!"
"Xu Chu, you are taking the badge of Liu Bei's men and pretending to be a Liu Bei veteran..."
"Here!"
All the soldiers looked at each other's enemy uniforms, and their spirits rose.
Yuan Tan defeated Liu Zhang and Liu Bei many times, so clothing tokens have plenty of resources.
Those who stayed behind began to secretly compete for the empty bottle thrown by Yuan Tan.
...
After half an hour.
Outside the west gate of Xindu Town.
Eighty thousand pairs of Liu's army, Liu Bei's army is in the north, and Liu Zhang's army is in the south. There is a large area here, and a large group there, with the front positions separated by tens of meters.
Since I have been waiting for an hour, I gradually become restless.
They stopped standing and sat on the ground one after another, some closed their eyes and slept, some bragged and spanked.
Gradually dry mouth.
At this time, Dian Wei led the men, with a blood-stained gauze tied obliquely on his face, covering his face, and gradually approached Liu Zhangjun.
It was found that Liu Zhangjun's arms were tied with a towel.
Recalling Yuan Tan's words, since many of Liu Bei's army also wore clothes from the Shu army, they tied a towel to distinguish them.
"Which part do you belong to?" A school lieutenant stopped him.
Dian Wei took out Zhang Renjun's waist badge, he is also the uniform of a school captain, and his status is not low, he said: "Brother, I am here to deliver water for you."
Sure enough, with a dozen waterwheels full of water.
The captain was overjoyed, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Ever since, the soldiers drank heavily.
Dian Wei took the opportunity to say: "Brothers, you should drink this car first, and bring the rest to the brothers in the other battalion."
"Go, go." The captain didn't doubt him, but urged.
Therefore, Dian Wei took the opportunity to join Liu Zhang's army. Wherever he went, he was very popular and gradually came to the front.
On the other hand, Xu Chu did the same, wearing a one-eyed eyepatch to cover his appearance, and walked smoothly in Liu Bei's army.
Shaoqing.
Dian Wei sat on the ground in the forward position, chatting with soldiers of Liu Zhang's army.
The soldiers saw that the wound on Dian Wei's face was still soaking in blood. He was injured in the battle with the Shence Army, and they admired this brave general in the army.
"This general." A soldier pointed to the small town next to him and said, "Now our king and Liu Bei are negotiating peace in the city. If the trumpet blows in the city after a while, it will be a success. We and the other side will be allies."
Xu Chu was on the opposite side, also chatting with Liu Beijun's soldiers.
"If it's beating the drum, it's a failure, and we'll retreat slowly." Liu Beijun's soldiers said.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu looked at each other across the not-too-far space between the two armies. Who knows how the peace talks are progressing now, there should be no delay, and they must be launched immediately.
