The next day, the armies of Wei and Shu formed their respective formations and slowly faced each other. They met each other in the north of Chencang City and south of the Weishui River.
Thousands of horses were silent on the plains, and the flags were ringing like a forest.
Ma Su rode his horse in front of the Shu army formation and raised his eyes to take a closer look.
I saw that the Wei army was vast and well-organized, which was very different from the cavalry led by Zhang He.
The former may not be as elite as the latter, but it can be said to be a strong army.
Wei's basic base is actually so strong... Ma Su took a breath and secretly rejoiced that his decision to avoid direct confrontation with the Wei army was so wise.
The two armies stopped within a stone's throw of each other.
After the three drums were played, Situ Wang Lang rode out on horseback. Hao Zhao and Wang Shuang lined up on the left and right of Commander Cao Zhen, holding down the corners of the formation.
Before a Wei soldier went out to the army, he shouted: "Great Wei Situ Wang Lang, please answer the general!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the flags of the Shu army separated, and Guan Xing and Zhang Bao came out side by side, with their horses standing on the left and right. Teams of brave generals and soldiers followed closely behind, forming a defensive formation.
Then, a four-wheeled vehicle slowly drove out from the formation and stopped in front of the formation.
Zhuge Liang was sitting on the chariot, swaying his folding fan, and looking ahead. He raised his eyes and met the eyes of an old man with a white beard in front of the Wei army formation, sparks sparking.
Zhuge Liang secretly thought: "This person must be Situ Wanglang. Looking at his competitive eyes and his mount on the crotch, he must be making excuses to compete with me. I should adapt to the situation and prevent him from taking advantage."
.”
The plan was made up, and just as he was about to ask his soldiers to push the cart forward, he saw Ma Su approaching.
"You can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife. I can deal with this guy. Prime Minister, take a break and watch him show his sword."
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang was startled, turned his head and looked at Ma Su, and said worriedly: "Wang Lang is knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and eloquent. I'm afraid you are no match for him."
Just kidding, I've memorized that passage and processed it deeply. How could I not be able to defend Wang Lang?
How to lose when flying dragon rides on the face?
Ma Su patted his chest and promised: "Prime Minister, please relax, I will have my own words to deal with it!"
"Then...okay." Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, but finally felt that as the commander-in-chief, it was beneath his status to argue with military advisor Wang Lang.
If you win, you are suspected of not winning with force; if you lose... it is impossible to lose. Zhuge Liang has the confidence and eloquence.
However, rather than win without fighting, it is better to let Ma Su try.
While the two were discussing, Wang Lang had already taken a step forward on his horse and said loudly: "Is this Zhuge Kongming across from you?"
"Exactly." Zhuge Liang responded, raising his hand.
Wang Lang cupped his hands and said, "I have heard of you for a long time, and I am honored to meet you today."
Seeing Zhuge Liang sitting on the wheeled cart and not answering, Wang Lang didn't take it seriously and continued: "Since you know the destiny and current affairs, why do you want to raise an unknown army to invade the territory of our great Wei Dynasty?"
When speaking, Wang Lang was full of confidence and his thoughts were extremely clear.
I thought that if he was seventy-two, he could still command the two armies in front of the formation and leave the opposing coach speechless.
What kind of grace is this? What kind of joy is this? What kind of high-spiritedness is this?
How could this not make him excited and overflowing with domineering aura!
Ma Su laughed loudly, stood in front of the four-wheeled vehicle, and took over the conversation: "I dare to ask Wang Situ, my prime minister is ordered to punish thieves, what does it mean to be nameless?"
Ma Su had just revealed his position here, but Cao Zhen had already reminded Wang Lang that the person coming was Ma Su from Xiangyang. He was extremely stable (cunning) and strong (deceitful) and was difficult to deal with.
Situ, be careful!
Wang Lang raised his eyebrows clearly, stroked his beard and laughed three times to boost his momentum.
He didn't care whether the person coming to challenge was Zhuge Liang or Ma Di.
No matter who comes, he is sure to convince them today.
Convinced!
Wang Lang cleared his throat and said softly: "The weather has changed, and the artifacts have become easier, and they are returned to virtuous people. This is the power of nature, is it accepted as such?"
"Otherwise!" Ma Su waved his hand and asked: "The traitor Cao usurped the Han Dynasty, occupied the Central Plains, killed two troops and surrendered, and massacred Xuzhou three times. He regarded human lives as pigs and dogs. How can he be called a successful person?"
Wang Lang is proficient in the art of argument. He knows that if he wants to win the argument, he must first agree with the other party's point of view, and then refute the other party based on the other party's point of view. In this way, he will be successful.
So he smiled slightly, not being serious about Cao Cao's character, but instead said: "Since Emperors Huan and Ling, the Yellow Turbans have been rampant, the world has been strife, the country is in danger of being overrun, and the people are in danger of falling. I, Emperor Taizu Wu, sweep
Qing Liuhe swept through the eight wastelands, and all the people fell in love with it, and all directions admired its virtue. This was not obtained by power, but was actually the destiny of destiny!"
"I, the Emperor Wen of this generation, possess divine literature, sacred literature, and martial arts, inherit the great rule, coordinate with heaven and man, follow the rules of Yao and Shun, and live in the Central Plains to govern all nations. Isn't this not the will of God and the people?"
"Now Zhuge Gong is a great talent and possesses great weapons. He compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi. Why do you want to act against nature? Don't you hear the ancient saying: Those who obey nature will prosper, and those who go against nature will perish?"
"Now that I, the Wei Dynasty, have millions of armors and thousands of good generals, how can the fluorescence of rotten grass compare to the brightness of the bright moon?"
"If you change sides and surrender, and surrender with courtesy, you still won't lose your position as marquis. From then on, the country will be peaceful and the people will be happy. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
"Hehehe..." Ma Di sneered, interrupting Wang Lang's eloquent momentum, and sneered:
"I thought that as a veteran of the Han Dynasty, you would have something to say when you came to the front of the two armies, but I didn't expect that you would say such vulgar words!"
"I have something to say, please listen patiently: During the reign of Emperors Huan and Ling, the Han Dynasty was in decline, the eunuchs caused trouble, the country was in chaos, and enemies from all directions were harassing them. After the Yellow Turban, Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and other rebellious officials and traitors
They came one after another, hijacking the Han emperor and brutalizing the people. However, the court was full of rotten waste, unscrupulous eunuchs, wolf-hearted, and servile people. They controlled the government one by one and did not do anything practical. The country was reduced to ruins and the people suffered miserably.
The difficulty of spreading charcoal."
"At this time of national crisis, what can Wang Situ do?"
"This... this... this..." Wang Lang was speechless for a moment, looking around, thinking urgently about what to say.
Ma Di didn't give him time to think, and rushed to say: "We have all heard about Wang Situ's life. You have lived on the coast of the East China Sea for generations. You were first promoted to be a filial and honest official, and later you became the prefect of Kuaiji and an important minister of the Han Dynasty. By rights, you should be a good official.
The king supports the country, and the Han Dynasty is prosperous and the Liu Dynasty is prosperous; but you don't want to serve the imperial court!"
"When I lived in the east of the Yangtze River, I was first defeated by Sun Ce and panicked like a dog that had lost its home. After fleeing to the Central Plains, I lived in the tent of Cao Cao, a traitor who usurped the Han Dynasty, and helped the rebels and traitors to conspire to usurp the throne!"
As he spoke, Ma Su's voice gradually rose, and he tapped Wang Lang with his fingers, his momentum was aggressive, like a shrew scolding the street:
"Your morals are corrupt and your sins are so serious that heaven and earth will not tolerate you!"
Originally, both parties came to talk about great principles, and Wang Lang also prepared a basket of great principles for this purpose.
But I didn't expect that while Ma Su was preaching great truths, he would also focus on his personal character and pursue him fiercely.
Being driven out of Kuaiji by Sun Ce and fleeing to the Central Plains in despair by boat has always been a shame and nightmare that Wang Lang didn't want to mention.
Seeing Ma Di mentioning old things again and attacking him maliciously, Wang Lang suddenly became furious: "You... Ma Su is a common man, you... you... you dare..."
"Shut up! Shameless old thief!" Ma Di shouted sharply, interrupting Wang Lang: "Don't you know that everyone in the world wants to peel off your skin, rip your tendons, eat your flesh, and drink your blood! How dare you be here?
Gabby?”
Wang Lang put his hand on his chest and coughed.
Very angry.
Ma Di was unyielding and changed his posture, continuing to pursue the victory: "Fortunately, the Han Dynasty was not destroyed by God's will. I, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, succeeded to Xichuan. My prime minister is now commanding the army in accordance with the order of the Han successor (Liu Chan).
Crusade against the rebellious ministers and traitors of the Cao family. Since you are a sycophant, you should just be a coward and not come out to embarrass yourself. How dare you arrogantly talk about the "number of days" in front of my army today!"
"You're such a brilliant man! You're an old thief with a gray beard! You're about to die and you don't even know it! Under the Nine Springs, what face do you have when you go to see your ancestors! Go see me, the Twenty-Four Emperors of the Han Dynasty!"
"I...I...I..." On the horseback, Wang Lang's body swayed. The more anxious he became, the more angry he felt, and he was speechless and unable to deal with it.
Ma Su shouted sharply: "Second minister, you traitor, you have wasted your life in vain. You have not made any achievements in your life. You only bite your lips and stick your tongue to help Cao Cao do harm. A dog with a broken spine dares to bark in front of our army's formation."
!”
"I, Ma Su, have never seen such a shameless person!"
As soon as he said this, Wang Lang's chest suddenly filled with anger and he had nowhere to vent. He screamed, fell to the sky and fell off his horse. Blood spurted from his mouth. He struggled on the ground for a few times, but there was no movement.
"Wang Situ, Wang Situ?"
Several Wei generals quickly dismounted and called out.
I saw Wang Lang standing straight and motionless, his face not peaceful at all.
Is this dead?
Everyone on both sides of Shu and Wei were stunned.
What the generals of the Wei army thought was: having an old man in the family is like having a treasure, but unfortunately this treasure is a bit impatient.
I still remember that during yesterday’s dinner, Wang Situ was high-spirited and full of confidence...
The Shu generals all looked at Ma Di with admiration in their hearts.
