About two days later, Zhang Fei finally woke up amid the turbulence.
The first thing I did when I woke up was not to exchange greetings with Liu Bei who was in front of me in the carriage, but to rush out of the carriage bare-chested and find Zhuge Liang, who had been making room for him for several days and riding alone.
"military adviser!"
"General Yide, are you awake? Your injury has not healed yet, why are you moving around like this..."
Zhuge Liang was of course a little stunned.
In this situation - a big man with a black face and a leopard head suddenly emerged from the carriage, and when he jumped to the ground, the ground was shaking, especially his voice could be heard clearly from miles away -
Anyone would be scared, right?
"Commander! Stop talking! This defeat! I, Zhang Fei, am solely responsible for the fault!"
"I regret not obeying the military advisor's orders! I know that nothing I can say at this moment is in vain..."
Zhang Fei didn't know where he got the knife from, and drew it directly on his palm.
Blood rolled from his palms to the ground. This scene shocked everyone present.
——
The army stopped.
Pause specifically for Zhang Fei who wakes up.
But Zhang Fei refused to stand up from his half-kneeling position at this moment.
Let Liu Bei circle anxiously beside him.
"This is the last time that I, Zhang Fei, disobey the military advisor's order! If there is a next time, the military advisor doesn't have to worry about anything else. Just kill me in front of everyone!"
"Third brother, you...what nonsense are you talking about!"
"You...you are so sleepy! Your body is still so weak, oh...oh! What are you doing!"
"Brother! Don't help me. If the military advisor doesn't admit it, I will kneel in front of the military advisor for three days and three nights!"
"Third brother you!"
Seeing this situation, Zhuge Liang finally spoke.
First, Liu Bei stopped and said:
"My lord, don't try to dissuade General Yide. This matter is General Yide's determination. If the lord interrupts his affair due to his affair, I believe General Yide will hate my lord for this."
"this…"
Liu Bei was speechless, sighed, looked at Zhang Fei's firm eyes, and finally stepped aside.
Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Huang Zhong, Huo Jun and other generals were all watching the conversation between Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang very quietly at this moment.
Only Wei Yan... felt extremely complicated inside at this moment.
"Okay! Since you, General Yide, are so aware, I believe that not only me but also all the generals are willing to give General Yide a chance, right?"
Zhuge Liang smiled knowingly, shook his feather fan, and glanced at everyone around him.
Everyone did not speak, but because of Zhuge Liang's words, they all nodded, which was regarded as confirmation of Zhuge Liang's words.
"Okay, okay, General Yide, your old injury has not healed. You all plan to become witnesses to this matter, so we will not bring up the old matter again - similarly, when General Yide was not around, I have re-
Customized a new route, we are like this..."
Chen Ying and Bao Long died in battle, Xing Daorong was captured, and Liu Xian returned with Zhang Fei, who was seriously injured. Except for the escaped soldiers who were accepted by Huo Jun, Zhang Fei's vanguard battle was a disastrous defeat.
But in fact, if the real impact is taken into account, maybe Zhang Fei's defeat is a successful baptism for Liu Beijun, who has been wavering and has many hidden dangers?
Of course, Zhang Fei is injured now, and it will still take some time until he is fully resurrected, but at least during the Battle of Hanzhong, Zhang Fei will definitely not be able to regain his former bravery.
Xu Chu's sword was deep and powerful. If Zhang Fei hadn't blocked it quickly and Zhang Fei's armor was relatively strong, the sword that penetrated into the bones would have been enough to remove one of Zhang Fei's arms. By then, the one-armed man would have been
No matter how strong the force is, it is no different than being disabled on the battlefield.
A blessing in disguise, Zhuge Liang later called this accident a blessing in disguise. Regardless of the final outcome of the war, he gained Zhang Fei's trust at this critical juncture. For his future status in Liu Bei's army, it will definitely be a blessing in disguise.
Not a small help.
Finally, under such circumstances, the war is finally about to begin.
——
To talk about the connection between Hanzhong and Xichuan, we have to talk about two great passes.
The first one is Baishui Pass, which is the Baishui County seat located to the north of Jiange. Because the terrain is extremely high and it blocks the pass from Hanzhong to Sichuan, in a sense, the strategic significance of this place is even higher than that of Jiange.
Liu Zhang sent Yang Huai and Gao Pei to guard this place, and Pang Xi was in the south to provide support. Although Pang Xi had not made any name for himself in the face of Zhang Lu over the years, in any case, it was precisely because of their existence that the people in Sichuan were
Liu Zhang could sit back and relax.
As for the other one, as the pass from Hanzhong to the outside of the pass, Yangping Pass is definitely a battleground for military strategists.
"Book of the Sui Dynasty" once said: Control Sichuan and Shu in the west, connect Qinlong in the north, and rely on Jingshan in the back. Standing in front is the army, Zhuobi, white horse and golden ox on the right, clouds and mist on the left, Baizhang, Han, black, and embers of water
The lapel belt is wrapped around it, which is the most dangerous thing in the world.
Yangping Pass is one of the most dangerous places in the world. You can attack if you advance and defend if you retreat. No wonder Zhuge Liang paid so much attention to the layout of the north and south of Yangping Pass.
The Tiandang Mountains and Guangshi area to the north are pure natural lookout towers. If there is a battle on the Jinniu Road in front of the pass, it is simple to place an army on a high place to make Yangping Pass secure and unbreakable.
.
Across the Han River in the south, there are also towering mountains such as Micang Mountain. It can only be said that in terms of terrain, the side that occupies Yangping Pass will definitely have absolute control over its nearby occupation.
Both sides in this battle are very clear about this.
In the last few days of October in the 14th year of Jian'an, the sky was gray and it seemed like it was going to rain. Therefore, the soldiers at Yangpingguan made preparations early to deal with all possible emergencies——
Yes, because you are in a place with mountains and mountains, you need to be wary not only of enemies, but also of the unpredictable celestial phenomena.
The scene of landslides and ground destruction that is only seen in the classics of mountains and seas is unimaginable, but it is extremely easy to happen here.
After closing the door, the unsmiling soldiers of Cao Jun were looking intently at the corner of the mountains stretching out to the north of the Han River.
From the stacked cliffs, there is only one main road, which is where they need to keep observing.
And now... there is a horseman, wearing a gray-black coat, riding fast and riding fast, even if he doesn't hesitate to splash into the water.
When they arrived at the city, the Qingqi didn't explain too much. He showed his token and let him through the pass. After entering the pass, his steps were hurried and his breathing became a little disordered.
It wasn't until he found the person he had to see in the general's cabinet that he quickly knelt on one knee on the ground, and while cupping his hands forward, he spoke very quickly but clearly conveyed the military situation:
"Report to the general!"
"Going fifty miles outside the pass, we found the enemy's main force! We have determined that the leader of the enemy will be Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, who was wounded and missing by General Xu Chu!"
"Zhang Yide?"
The one-eyed general had a stern face and a cup of warm tea in front of him. He was not the only one at the table, but as the chief general, he had the responsibility to give the final military order.
"How many soldiers and horses does the opponent have?"
"At least 50,000 troops, including 20,000 light cavalry, are extremely fast and will reach the city in a few days!"
"hehe--"
"In that case..."
Xiahou Dun twisted his neck, stood up slowly, and took a deep breath.
Recalling his past recklessness and ugliness, his mood is completely different now.
