This intuition appeared suddenly without reason, but Zhao Yun clearly felt its existence, which existed in Peng Yi's words and deeds.

Feeling something in his heart, Zhao Yun asked with a smile on his face: "I don't know why Mr. I know that our army is stationed here? Could it be that Mr. has been waiting here for a long time?" Hearing this remark at first, it was very abrupt and obviously inappropriate. Be rude to people.

Moreover, there are other references in the words, alluding to Peng Yi's monitoring of the whereabouts of the army, his whereabouts are suspicious, and his identity and purpose of coming have yet to be verified.The reason why Zhao Yun said this was because Peng Yi avoided the important and ignored the important, and didn't answer his question directly. He only gave his name, but he didn't directly explain the purpose of his visit and the origin of his identity.As a result, Zhao Yun was rather dissatisfied with Peng Yi. Such vague and evasive words were definitely not done by a gentleman, but rather like a sinister villain with ulterior motives.

What's more, the current situation is extraordinary, and the two armies are at war.As an official in Yizhou, Peng Yi rashly appeared in the camp of the Xiliang Army. It was a strange thing, but he claimed that he came here to offer advice and help Zhao Yun and others conquer Jianmen Pass. Suspicious?

Who knows whether he came here to offer advice sincerely or to deceive Zhao Yun and the [-] troops from Xiliang deliberately?

The most suspicious thing is that Zhao Yun temporarily decided to station troops here yesterday evening.This morning Huang Zhong led his army to attack Jianmen Pass. After the defeat, Huang Zhong rushed back to the camp, and it took less than half an hour.Peng Yang arrived on his hind legs.what does that mean?

It is obvious that Peng Yi knew that Zhao Yun's army had entered the Jianmen plank road, and had been secretly observing the army's every move, so he was able to find the camp within a day of Zhao Yun's army camping here, and then came to meet Zhao Yun.Not only that, he probably also knew that Huang Zhong led the army to attack Jianmen Pass, so he rushed to Huang Zhong's defeat.Find the right time to come to the camp to offer advice.Because he calculated that Zhao Yun and others must have nothing to do with Jianmenguan, and Huang Zhong failed to attack the pass, so his coming to the camp at this time is like sending charcoal in a timely manner.It is easy to win the trust of Zhao Yun and others.

Therefore, just when Zhao Yun made up his mind to order to storm Jianmen Pass, Peng Yi appeared.Not too early, not too late, every second is right.Just in time.

only.This is too coincidental!Is this purely a coincidence, the world is like a coincidence?

As the general of the West Route Army, Zhao Yun is responsible for the lives of nearly [-] soldiers, shoulders the arduous mission entrusted by his master Li Li, and entrusts the trust and great trust of Li Li and Zhou Yu, so he dare not relax for a moment, let alone be negligent. , every word and deed must be cautious.Repeatedly weigh, and strive to be foolproof.after all.Any order he gives at this moment is related to the life and death of nearly [-] troops under his account, and directly determines the success or failure of this conquest of Yizhou.

With such a heavy burden on him, how could he be negligent and slack, how could he easily trust others?Especially for a stranger like Peng Yi who appeared suddenly, how could he not be suspicious, how could he not be vigilant?

Just when doubts arose in Zhao Yun's heart, Peng Yi frowned slightly, and said softly with a rather displeased expression: "There are so many people here, it is by no means a place to discuss such secrets. Besides, General Zhao is in charge of an army of [-] General of Xiliang, is it the way to treat guests like this by rejecting people at the door? If this move is spread, the world will laugh at it!" After speaking, a sneer appeared on Peng Yan's face, He lowered his head, squinted his eyes, and swept across the faces of Zhao Yun and other generals with a haughty expression, showing a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Seeing Peng Yang's disdainful eyes for a moment, Huang Zhong was furious, clenched his right hand into a fist, and then raised his big fist to hit Peng Yan's raised head.Trying to beat Peng Yi into a pig's head, so as to teach him a lesson, to see if he dares to be arrogant and sarcastic!

Just as Huang Zhong raised his hand and swung his fist, Zhao Yun didn't move, his left hand behind his back grasped Huang Zhong's right arm accurately, and then shook his head slightly, signaling to stay calm, restrain his emotions, and don't get angry.Huang Zhong, who was grabbed by Zhao Yun's right arm, snorted angrily when he saw this, then let go of his fist, gave Peng Yi a vicious look, then turned his head away, not bothering to see Peng Yi's arrogant appearance.

At the same time that Huang Zhong let go of his fist, Zhao Yun also let go of his arm. He didn't turn around from the beginning to the end, and his eyes were still fixed on Peng Yi.However, when Peng Yang saw Huang Zhongzheng about to attack, his expression was calm, his body remained motionless, not only was there no fear in his eyes, but his contempt became stronger, and there was a hint of provocation in it.This scene fell in Zhao Yun's eyes, but it made him take a few glances at Peng Yangao, secretly applauding in his heart, his doubts about Peng Yang couldn't help but faded a bit, and he became more curious.

It is true that although Peng Yi is tall and handsome, he is an out-and-out scholar and scribe; although he is not powerless, he is undoubtedly a "soft-legged shrimp" in front of Huang Zhong. one strike.However, in the face of Huang Zhong's hammer-like fist raised in rage, he did not change his expression, his heart did not jump, and his feet stood firm. This courage alone had to make Zhao Yun look at him differently and favor him even more. .

"Sir, what you said is reasonable, but this general is indeed negligent. Please enter the account and rest, please!"

After a little hesitation, the expression on Zhao Yun's face changed abruptly, and he invited Peng Yi to enter the account with a smile.Immediately, Zhao Yun waved his hand, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Cao Xing and other generals standing behind him immediately moved out of the way, and watched Peng Yi swagger into the Chinese army tent.

"Where did the rotten Confucian scholar come from, to run wild in our army camp! If Zilong hadn't stopped me just now, he would have beaten him to the point where his teeth were all over the ground, and his blood was splashed on the spot!" Seeing Peng Yi stepping up the steps and walking After entering the big tent, Huang Zhong looked at Peng Yi's back coldly, and said to Zhao Yun angrily.

Zhao Yun shook his head with a smile, and said comfortingly, "Brother Han Sheng calm down, you are hurting yourself, don't get angry again. Although this person acts perversely, behaves arrogantly, and thinks highly of himself, he is quite courageous and seems to be capable. Let's see what good strategy he has to help us break through the Jianmen Gate. If the strategy offered is feasible, then it's fine. If this person tries to deceive us with clever words and tricks, he will surely die on the spot if he comes back and forth! "Obviously, Zhao Yun didn't have a good impression of Peng Yi, especially that haughty and reserved posture made people irritated and disgusted.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun is definitely not a person who acts on his own will, he has a broad mind, and in addition to the urgency of the war, there is no need to delay, and he always has the overall situation in mind.So he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, endured many times, and only hoped that Peng Yi would really have a good plan to offer, otherwise the old and new hatreds would be counted together, and Peng Yi would be torn apart to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Speaking of which, it has been a long time since Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and others have met such a noble and arrogant scholar like Peng Yi.After all, they were no longer stunned youths who had just entered the battlefield, let alone humble generals, but military generals who had fought on the battlefield for many years and had already achieved fame.Today, with their official ranks and powerful positions, no one dares to put on airs and pretend to be noble in front of them. Even rising stars such as Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Xun You, and Chen Deng have to treat them with courtesy. , commensurate with generals.These rising stars who are deeply appreciated by the protagonist Li Li are like this, let alone others?

Therefore, the scene that happened just now is definitely the first strange thing that Zhao Yun and others have encountered in many years of fighting.Because of this, even a good-tempered and refined man like Zhao Yun was successfully irritated by Peng Yi. It is no wonder that Huang Zhong would fight with fists when he was angry, and the other generals were even more angry and resentful.

However, there was one of them who did not get angry from the beginning to the end. He was calm and composed, so he stood out among the generals and immediately caught Zhao Yun's attention.This person is Yang Fu Yang Yishan, who was appointed as the chief bookkeeper of the army and also in charge of joining the army.

"Yishan seems to know Peng Yi, but I don't know where he came from? Please join the army and tell me frankly."

Seeing Zhao Yun's questioning, Yang Fu said without hesitation: "Don't dare to ask the general, I will report the truth. To tell you the truth, I have indeed heard about Peng Yi, but I have never met him, nor have I had any friendship with him. , from a humble background, arrogant and frivolous, ambitious, but quite talented, resourceful, and courageous. Although he is young, he has already been an official. He has followed Liu Zhang for two years and has served as a secretary under Liu Zhang. Because of him He has a withdrawn personality, behaves perversely, has always been at odds with his colleagues, and is often excluded. Even Liu Zhang dislikes him. However, he is meticulous in doing things, meticulous in thinking, and never makes mistakes. This is why he was able to keep his position. But he is by no means The generation who is content with the status quo, has great ambitions, and is very active in secretly making friends with the powerful in Yizhou. However, he is still young and cannot obtain a high position after all.

In view of this, I believe that Peng Yi came to our army camp at this time, thinking that he must have a good strategy to offer to the general, and then he used this to seek a way to get promoted and leave Liu Zhang to seek another job.Therefore, I suggest that the general and all the generals bear with it for a while, and there will be unexpected gains later. "

Speaking of this, Yang Fu's voice paused, as if thinking of something again, he immediately added: "It is said that the military advisor Fazheng and Peng Yi have known each other since childhood, and Peng Yi worshiped under his father Fayan, so he and the military advisor have a deep friendship. At present, the military advisor is in Yizhou, so he must have met Peng Yi, and I even suspect that Peng Yi was entrusted by the military advisor to capture Jianmen Pass for our army."

After Zhao Yun and others heard the words, they were very surprised, and then they entered the big tent, served Peng Yi with good wine and food, and treated Peng Yi with every kind of courtesy. Only then did Peng Yi tell the truth.And what he said was just as Yang Fu expected. Peng Yi's so-called suggestion was to convey Fazheng's determined time to attack Jianmen Pass, and was praised by Li Li as a "wizard". among.

Chapter 149

The bright moon hangs high, and the bright stars are dotted with the vast Milky Way.

Under the city of Chengdu, the anti-insurgency war, which lasted more than a month, ended at noon today.

At dawn half a month ago, generals such as Zhang Ren, Wu Yi, and Lei Tong led the new army "Dongzhou soldiers" to attack the rebel camp.Although Zhao Wei had been on guard against Zhang Ren's army going out of the city for a sneak attack, he was caught off guard. As a result, the camp was burned down, most of the food, grass and supplies were lost, and more than [-] soldiers and horses were killed or injured.

However, although this sneak attack and robbery achieved very gratifying results, it was not successful.

This is because although Zhao Wei's rebel army lost troops and generals and suffered a lot of casualties, the Dongzhou soldiers led by Zhang Ren and others also paid a huge price. They killed one thousand enemies and lost six hundred, which also caused heavy casualties.

The newly formed Dongzhou soldiers have a total of more than [-] people, all of whom are young and strong laborers who fled from Jingzhou and Sanfu to Yizhou in the early years. After the formation of the army, they had no time to train, and they were directly dragged to the city of Chengdu to participate in the battle. It was the battle of raiding and robbing the camp.According to post-war statistics, after an unexpected camp robbery, more than [-] Dongzhou soldiers lost more than [-] soldiers, including [-] wounded soldiers.

In contrast, although Zhao Wei's rebels were caught off guard, they were well-equipped and well-trained long-term fighters with rich fighting experience and strong combat effectiveness.Therefore, even in an extremely unfavorable passive situation, the rebel soldiers still stubbornly blocked and fought bravely, and they just resisted the Dongzhou soldiers' sneak attack to rob the camp and kept them out of the camp.During the service, the rebels suffered more than [-] casualties, including more than [-] wounded soldiers.The remaining [-] people were killed.

At first glance, Dongzhou soldiers still have the advantage, and the results are greater than that of the rebels.Obviously won.However, the rebels were already numerous. At first, they had 5 people. After half a month of siege, there were still more than [-] people. After the camp was robbed, there were still [-] troops.In contrast, the Chengdu defenders originally had more than [-] people, and nearly [-] soldiers were killed or injured in the previous battle to defend the city.More than half of the troops were lost; after more than [-] Dongzhou soldiers came for reinforcements, after the battle of looting the camp, the defenders were only left with [-] horses.It is equal to the strength of Zhao Wei's rebel army under the city.

Therefore, the battle to rob the camp was not considered a success, at best it was a small victory.However, such a small victory or tragic victory was the first victory won by Liu Zhang's army since the rebels besieged the city.Although the symbolic significance of this small victory is far greater than the actual results.But far-reaching.It has a huge impact on the entire counter-insurgency war, and its positive impact is immeasurable.

Therefore, the battle of robbing the camp was a turning point in Yizhou's anti-insurgency war, and it was also the beginning of Liu Zhang's army turning from defense to attack, which opened the prelude to the anti-insurgency war, and Zhao Wei's rebel army ushered in Liu Zhang's large-scale army. counterattack.

At the same time, the first victory under the city of Chengdu was deliberately exaggerated by Liu Zhang's subordinates, and then exaggerated and processed by major families and powerful gentry.This small victory turned into an unprecedented victory in an instant.With such spare no efforts in propaganda and agitation, the confidence of officials in various counties and counties in countering the rebellion was greatly encouraged.It enhanced the fighting morale of the defenders everywhere, which intensified the demise of Zhao Wei's rebels.

Since then, for more than half a month, the defenders of the counties and counties have launched a full-scale counterattack and fought desperately with the rebels. They have repelled the rebels who besieged the counties and counties one after another, and then took the initiative to attack and wipe out the remnants of the rebels.

Facing the strong counterattack of Liu Zhang's army, the originally favorable situation that was extremely beneficial to the rebels took a turn for the worse. As a result, Zhao Wei's rebels who were still stationed under the city of Chengdu were demoralized, their hearts fluttered, and their morale was low.Seeing this, instead of withdrawing his troops immediately, Zhao Wei once again summoned the rebels from all counties to gather under the city of Chengdu in an attempt to make a last-ditch attempt to capture the king first and capture Chengdu in one fell swoop.Only in this way can he save the defeat; as long as he captures and kills Liu Zhang, he will be the final victor, and then conquering Yizhou's bureaucrats and aristocratic families is as easy as picking something out of a bag, so it is just around the corner to take control of Yizhou.

It's a pity that the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.

This sentence was once used on Liu Zhang and Yizhou officials, but now it should be used on Zhao Wei and his rebels.

It can be said that in the 30 years of Hedong and the 30 years of Hexi, the feng shui was turbulent. When Zhao Wei flourished and declined, the feng shui fell on Liu Zhang's head.

At noon two days ago, Liu Zhang visited the top of the city for the first time, and shouted to Zhao Wei at the bottom of the city.In fact, Liu Zhang wanted to recruit Zhao Wei again, and persuade him to put down his weapons and surrender himself, so that his death would be saved, and his family members and clansmen would not be punished by him, causing disaster to the whole family.

However, rather than saying that Liu Zhang wants to recruit Zhao Wei, it is better to say that he wants to take the [-] troops under the city for his own use.

This is because Liu Zhang received accurate information not long ago that the real powerful enemy facing Yizhou has appeared, and it is rushing towards Chengdu like a giant beast that swallows the sky. It is fierce and unstoppable. .This menacing monster was hiding behind Zhao Wei's rebel army at this moment, galloping all the way along the road of Zhao Wei's rebel army heading south, and might suddenly appear under the city of Chengdu at any time.

At present, this frightening news is still unknown, only a very small number of people know about it, but they know very little, and all they hear are rumors; Liu Zhang is also included in this.Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Wei not to know the news that he knew, and even Zhao Wei got the news much earlier than him.

However, Zhao Wei turned a deaf ear to this, turned a blind eye to it, and still led the army to trap Liu Zhang's army in the city.In this way, Liu Zhang was forced to be unable to take any defensive or emergency measures against the coming giant beast that swallowed the sky. He could only sit back and watch the giant beast approach step by step, but he could not get rid of the entanglement of Zhao Wei's rebels.

In this regard, Liu Zhang's officials and Liu Zhang himself had to suspect that Zhao Wei secretly colluded with this giant beast that was approaching Yizhou, trying to carve up the nine counties of Yizhou.Otherwise, Zhao Wei knew that there was a powerful enemy entering Yizhou behind him, so how could he entangle Liu Zhang desperately?

But this is just speculation, groundless, and entirely based on subjective conjectures.So far, there is no indication that Zhao Wei had any contact with the Xiliang giant beast, and there is no evidence to prove that Zhao Wei has joined Li Li in Xiliang.

Because of this, Liu Zhang went to the top of the city and talked to Zhao Wei in person, trying to persuade him to wake up as soon as possible. It is the Liu family's foundation that has been inherited for more than [-] years.

Unfortunately, this is just Liu Zhang's wishful thinking.Today, it is impossible for Zhao Wei to turn back. From the moment he launched the rebellion, he has embarked on a road of no return. There is no way to turn back, except to bite the bullet and rush all the way. up.

So during the shouting, they didn't talk to each other, and broke up unhappy.

With a wave of Liu Zhang's hand, tens of thousands of troops rushed out of the city gate and started the final decisive battle with Zhao Wei's rebels below the city.In the situation where the two armies were nearly equal, Zhao Wei's rebels did not show weakness and fought bravely.

This decisive battle with as many as 10,000+ people lasted for two days and two nights. The soldiers of the two armies fought desperately and fought bloody day and night. The battle was unprecedentedly tragic.

During the decisive battle, tens of thousands of soldiers from the two armies died on the battlefield every hour, and the moat that was more than ten kilometers long was stained red with blood.The land with a radius of more than ten miles outside the east gate was full of corpses and flesh, the murderous aura was overwhelming, and the blood mist filled the air, so that the thick fog that appeared in the morning and evening was rendered into a red blood mist. .
