Chapter 1135: Zhang Fei was ordered to go on the expedition
After Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang agreed on the future and lifelong events of their children, they quickly issued the order to start the action.
If Pang Tong knew that Zhuge Liang abandoned his good friend and chose Sima Yi as a competitor, he didn't know that it would be a god's expression. And the final result was that after Pang Tong knew about this, his brain twitched, and he found a brick and stood in front of Zhuge Liang's gate for a whole day, just to ask Zhuge Liang to give an explanation. In the end, it was Pang Tong's wife who felt embarrassed and ordered her subordinates to arrest Pang Tong back, ending the farce.
Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang arranged the two armies.
The two armies have secretly met.
But in order to confuse Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi used a small number of soldiers and horses to pretend to be a large-scale march, and both Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan were confused.
The previous Zhang Liao raid on Huainan was deliberately done by Zhuge Liang, which made Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, and even Cao Cao frightened and made a stronger defense.
The more you defend, the more likely you are to be porous, because there is no such thing as a 100% perfect defense.
And the defensive loopholes of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yi have been seen by Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, and now is the time for Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi to give the most fatal blow.
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi summoned all the generals.
Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Wen Ping and other generals all arrived. As for the strategists, except for Ma Liang and Xin Ping, who were sent to confuse Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, everyone else was present.
Ma Liang was valued and promoted by Zhuge Liang after the First Battle of Jiangdong, and this time Zhuge Liang boldly gave Ma Liang this task. Ma Liang did not disappoint Zhuge Liang either, and the completion was very beautiful.
As for the two brothers Xin Ping and Xin Bi, after the Yuan family's power was shattered, their two brothers worked for Emperor Shenwu with all their hearts.
The two brothers are smart people, and they know that the overall situation of Liu Yu's domination of the world is inevitable, so there is no dissent.
Originally, the two of them were led by Guo Tu and formed a small group, wanting to occupy a position in the court in the future. It's a pity that Guo Tu is really incompetent and can't say anything in the court. As a result, the two brothers Xin Ping and Xin Bi, who were very close to Guo Tu, did not perform much. Fortunately, among their Hebei scholars, there are two bigwigs, Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, who know that Xin Ping and Xin Bi are rare, so they gave them many opportunities, and the two of them have continuously accumulated credit, and they have also been valued by Liu Yu. This time, the two brothers Xin Ping and Xin Bi were brought over by Sima Yi, Xin Ping was sent out by Sima Yi to do things, and Xin Bi was left by Sima Yi's side.
The two of them participated in this battle, and they both knew in their hearts that this was a great opportunity for them to get the position, so they worked hard.
The efforts were not fruitless, and the two brothers Xin Ping and Xin Bi were recognized by everyone.
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi came hand in hand, looking at all the generals and strategists, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Sima Yi was the first to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty asked the general to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Cao Cao this time. And the Great General and Cao Cao have fought several times. We have been lurking for a long time, do you think that Kong Ming and I are slacking off the military plane? ”
"I can't wait." Even if they have opinions, Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei and others don't dare to say it.
After nesting for so long, it is really uncomfortable to see other people make countless achievements, and they just stay stupid.
Especially Zhang Fei, who has always wanted to restore his official position by virtue of his military exploits.
In addition, after Zhang Fei was demoted to a small soldier by Liu Yu, he was very well-behaved as his small soldier without any complaints. Zhuge Liang felt that the punishment for Zhang Fei was enough, so he took Zhang Fei out on the expedition, and by the way, he found a name for Zhang Fei's meritorious service in defending the city, and gave Zhang Fei a position as a general.
It would have been impossible for a small person to stand here. But everyone knows what Zhuge Liang means, plus Zhang Fei's strength is there, and Guan Yu's face is still there, so a fool will say a word more.
At this time, Zhang Fei was the most hopeful and eager to fight, and his fighting spirit was the highest.
Zhang Fei wanted to complain, but before he could speak, Guan Yu glared at him. Zhang Fei was honest in an instant.
Among so many people, Zhang Fei has the lowest position, and it is not his turn to speak. Guan Yu knew Zhang Fei's character, and as soon as Zhang Fei's ass twisted, he knew what Zhang Fei was going to do.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Sima Yi was very satisfied, and automatically gave up his position to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang stood in front of everyone very chicly, shook his feather fan and said, "Everyone, we have been lurking for many days. I have been planning with Zhongda for a long time, and I have already broken the defenses of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Xuan. This is the time for us to go on the offensive in a big way! ”
As soon as they heard the news, everyone present was overjoyed. When they were summoned by Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, they had already guessed this outcome. But in fact, when I heard Zhuge Liang really say it, I was still very excited.
"Great, I can't take it anymore." Zhang Fei couldn't control himself a little.
Everyone looked at Zhang Fei, they knew that Zhang Fei was eager to make meritorious contributions, but if you say so much now, you have to let Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi give you a chance. In front of everyone's eyes, Zhang Fei was also a little embarrassed.
Guan Yu closed his eyes and shook his head secretly, feeling that Zhang Fei was really embarrassing.
Sima Yi looked at Zhang Fei and asked softly, "Zhang Yide, do you really want to fight?" ”
"That's nature! As long as I get out of the way, there's nothing I can't accomplish. Zhang Fei patted his chest and said.
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, didn't speak, he knew that Sima Yi was going to give Zhang Fei a task.
"Don't be so full of words. Be careful to flash your tongue. Sima Yi smiled wickedly.
Those who are familiar with Sima Yi know that Sima Yi is about to burst into bad water.
It's a pity that Zhang Fei knows Sima Yi, but he is not familiar with it, and said confidently: "As long as Mr. Sima commands, I will definitely complete it!" ”
What Zhang Fei needs most now is military merit, and Liu Yu demoted him to a small soldier, making him lose face. has been a soldier for so long, Zhang Fei really doesn't want to be him anymore. Although Zhuge Liang promoted his position, he still didn't look good enough compared to others. Zhang Fei is a person who values face very much, if he has always been a general, when he meets Dian Wei and other acquaintances in the future, there is no way to chat with an equal attitude. This was a fatal wound for Zhang Fei, who had a tough personality.
Besides, Zhang Fei already has strong strength and is completely confident to complete any task. If you don't work hard for the task now, if Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang forget about him, Zhang Fei will lose more than he gains.
Zhang Fei's little abacus is crackling, not as simple as it seems on the surface, Zhang Fei will not care what others think. In the current situation, for Zhang Fei, the most important thing is military merit.
"Really?" Sima Yi seemed to want to confirm it.
Zhang Fei said categorically: "Sure enough! Mr. Sima has something to say, just say it. ”
Sima Yi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Yide is really fast-talking." Kong Ming and I happen to have a more difficult task to undertake. Seeing that Yide is so confident, it will be handed over to Yide. ”
"But by command." Zhang Fei was overjoyed, he finally had a task.
Zhuge Liang shook his head, Zhang Fei is too easy to fall for it, and it will be up to Zhang Fei to regret it later.
Sima Yi said: "We are going to launch a full-scale attack. Here, a general is needed to challenge and confuse the other party. Wing Dewei is well-known, and it is the most suitable for him as a general. Zhang Yide listens to orders! ”
"The last general!" Zhang Fei responded immediately.
Sima Yi took out a military order and said, "Zhang Yide, Lord Zhuge and I have appointed you as General Dangkou and the vanguard general of the army at this moment, and go to Xiahou Yuan to challenge and confuse the other party." If there is a chance, be sure to kill Xiahou Yuan and disturb the morale of the Cao army. ”
"Huh? Go fight Xiahou Yuan? And to kill each other? Zhang Fei was dumbfounded, the last thing he wanted to meet was Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan was defeated by Zhang Fei before, Zhang Fei also captured Xiahou Yuan alive, and in the end, Zhang Fei secretly released Xiahou Yuan for the sake of being the son-in-law of Xiahou's family, which caused him to be pushed to the end by Liu Yu and become a small soldier.
It's good now, Sima Yi actually asked him to challenge Xiahou Yuan, didn't this embarrass Zhang Fei?
The position of General Dangkou has been promoted many levels compared to Zhang Fei's current general. But Zhang Fei felt that he was not very happy when he was promoted, but was a little depressed.
"Mr. Sima, Zhuge Junshi, do you want to change someone? This Xiahou Yuan and Yide are old. Guan Yu stood up at this time, he knew about Zhang Fei's previous affairs with Xiahou Yuan, and it was really a bit difficult for Zhang Fei to let Zhang Fei go at this time.
Zhang Fei was silent.
Everyone else also had the same idea as Guan Yu. Why Zhang Fei was demoted to a small soldier has been spread all over Liu Jun. This kind of behavior can be said to be disobedient. If it weren't for Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and others begging hard, plus Liu Yurende, who gave Zhang Fei a chance to be reborn, I'm afraid Zhang Fei would be so dead now that he can't die anymore.
Now that Sima Yi wants Zhang Fei to deal with Xiahou Yuan, he is really a little embarrassed.
Sima Yi's face sank and said, "How can the military order be changed when it is said?" There is no joke in the army. The official had asked Yide again and again just now. Yide swore that the official gave him this military order. Can the words of the army be child's play? ”
The words directly scared Guan Yu to the point that he had nothing to say.
Zhuge Liang came out at this time, Zhang Fei was promoted to general, and being able to discuss matters here was all given by Zhuge Liang, so Zhuge Liang had to stand up and say a few words.
"Yide, if you don't want to. I can replace it with someone else. Zhuge Liang gave Zhang Fei a chance.
Guan Yu was very grateful to Zhuge Liang for standing up at the right time, but he didn't know that Zhuge Liang was the initiator.
Zhang Fei said solemnly: "There is no joke in the army. Xiahou Yuan and the last general have an old relationship, but the last general has already returned the favor to them before. Fight on the battlefield, each for its own master. The general will definitely get the job done. ”
Zhang Fei is very embarrassed, but everyone is selfish, and he still thinks of himself. Xiahou Yuan is Zhang Fei's relative, will Zhang Fei be soft because of this? If you count it, Cao Cao and Zhang Fei are both relatives, and even Guan Yu and Cao Cao are also relatives. If relatives can't fight, won't Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have to withdraw from this big battle? Therefore, Zhang Fei will not let go of such an opportunity.
Sima Yi smiled and said, "Okay, very good." Yide has this pride, and the official admires it. Then this military order, please accept it. But I still have to remind you. If Yide has any favoritism, this official will not spare it. This official is not as benevolent as Kong Ming. ”
The threat in Sima Yi's words has been clearly revealed, if Zhang Fei is found to have any favoritism, Sima Yi will not be as soft as Zhuge Liang.
Zhang Fei took Sima Yi's military order expressionlessly, and he didn't say anything to show that he knew what Sima Yi meant.
Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang both laughed inwardly. Zhang Fei still obediently put it on the set. The first step of their plan has been successful.
In fact, letting Zhang Fei challenge Xiahou Yuan was really deliberately done by Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang. It is designed by using the previous relationship between Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Fei.
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi could expect that Zhang Fei would not disobey their orders, and would do a good job and work hard to complete the task.
But Xiahou Yuan is different.
Once Xiahou Yuan found out that Zhang Fei led the army to challenge, he would definitely close his door, and even choose a truce.
A truce behind closed doors, then the morale of Cao's army will drop. And all Xiahou Yuan's attention is on Zhang Fei, which will inevitably lead to uncertainty, which will eventually lead to mistakes.
And Xiahou Yuan's point is where the loopholes found by Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang after observing for many days.
As long as Xiahou Yuan was attracted by Zhang Fei, then Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi could implement another strategy.
"Yide, you immediately lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to set off, there must be no mistake!" Zhuge Liang ordered.
Zhang Fei took the military order given by Sima Yi, walked out silently, and returned to his military tent.
The Zhangba snake spear was placed horizontally in Zhang Fei's military tent.
This Zhangba snake spear has followed Zhang Fei for many years, and Zhang Fei cherishes it very much. Before every expedition, Zhang Fei would wipe it well, and this time he was no exception.
Zhang Fei polished the spear edge of the Zhangba snake spear to a shiny one, making him feel the sharpness of the snake spear.
"It's time for us to go on our expedition again." Zhang Fei said silently to the snake spear.
After wiping, Zhang Fei walked out of the military tent with the Zhangba snake spear and rode on the war horse prepared for him by the soldiers.
The 20,000 soldiers and horses have been prepared, just waiting for Zhang Fei's order.
Zhang Fei came to the soldier domineeringly and shouted: "Let's go!" ”
Under the command of Zhang Fei, the 20,000 army rushed to the defense line where Xiahou Yuan was located with billowing red dust.
"People from the Xiahou family, this time I, Zhang Yide, can only stand with you." Zhang Fei had only one thought in his heart, that is, to defeat all the enemies, no matter who could stand in his way.
