Alas, it was all Huang Quan's self-righteousness and disloyalty, if he had united with Xiangyang earlier and taken care of each other, how could there have been such a fiasco.

And the saint's consideration of the mediocre is still too superficial, what a figure Sima Yi is, how can he only send a Huang Quan over.

It was too late to say this, the saint on the other side of Nanjun was in danger, in comparison, a mediocrity was nothing, Liu Ba wiped away his tears, urged his subordinates to go all the way, and finally came to Chengdu three days later.

It is very unfortunate that Zhuge Liang was not in Chengdu at this time, and he was worried that Cao Pi would take the opportunity to attack Hanzhong, so he went to Ma Chao's side and made a series of strategic arrangements.

Liu Ba was so anxious that his voice was hoarse, and he wanted to go to Ma Chao to find Zhuge Liang, but he was afraid that Zhuge Liang would return halfway and go wrong with him, delaying time again.

Liu Ba fidgeted every day, pinching his fingers for hours, and after a difficult half a month, Zhuge Liang finally came back. After Liu Ba learned about it, he came to Zhuge Liang's house as soon as possible.

Zhuge Liang just took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and saw Liu Ba who had broken in without communication, and immediately knew that the situation was not good.

Because Liu Ba himself is very simple, a piece of clothing is not worn out or replaced, but Liu Ba himself is very neat, the whole body is spotless, the clothes are not wrinkled at all, and the patches are all very regular shapes, which is like now, unkempt, thin, and shabby.

Zhuge Liang's heart sank, Liu Ba hurriedly took a few steps forward, and said in a hoarse voice: "Prime Minister, the saint is in danger!" ”

"What happened?" Zhuge Liang hurriedly got up and asked.

"Alas, the Holy Lord surrounded Nanjun and camped for hundreds of miles, and the soldiers all entered the valley......"

Before Liu Ba finished speaking, the cup in Zhuge Liang's hand fell to the ground in shock, and he said angrily: "Camping like this is a taboo in the art of war, whoever makes such a decision can be killed immediately!" ”

"This is Cheng Ji's plan."

"Useless! Why didn't the rest of the people try to persuade the Holy One, and saw that the Holy One was in such a crisis? ”

"Hey, if I can persuade me, I won't come to the prime minister for help!" Liu Ba said that his eyes were red again.

Zhuge Liang's face was extremely ugly, knowing that the saint had become more and more stubborn in the past few years, and it was difficult to listen to the pertinent opinions of others. Zhuge Liang immediately instructed Liu Ba to observe the shape in Chengdu, and he immediately went to find the Taiwei Li Yan.

Li Yan originally had a bad relationship with Zhuge Liang, and when he heard that Zhuge Liang wanted to lead troops to the front line, he flatly refused, saying that there was no order from the Holy Lord, and the soldiers and horses in Chengdu could not be used.

Zhuge Liang said with a cold face that even if it was 10,000 soldiers and horses, he was going to rescue the saint. Li Yan looked up to the sky and laughed, the prime minister is really joking, the Holy Lord led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, how do you need to save him? Isn't the prime minister having any unsavory thoughts?

Zhuge Liang was so worried that he didn't bother to waste time arguing with him about right and wrong, and then decisively found the general Wei Yan, took Wei Yan and his three thousand soldiers and horses, left Chengdu overnight, and went to Nanjun without stopping.

After Li Yan learned about it, he didn't chase after him, but was proud, feeling that 3,000 soldiers and horses couldn't make the climate, but he could catch Zhuge Liang with a handle to move troops without authorization.

On the way, Zhuge Liang met Zhao Yun, who was in charge of the broken post, and he didn't know what Liu Bei was thinking, so he only gave Zhao Yun 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they were all old and weak soldiers.

Zhuge Liang frowned when he saw this team of soldiers and horses, and Zhao Yun hurriedly asked: "The prime minister led the troops to move forward quickly, but there was an urgent matter before the war?" ”

"General Zilong, the lord is in danger, follow me to Nanjun!"

Zhao Yun didn't have anything to say about Zhuge Liang's feelings, so he immediately agreed and led the army to follow all the way.

The group was in a hurry, but in the end it was still a step too late, and when Zhuge Liang arrived at the place of the ditch, the battle on the side of Nanjun had already begun.

There was no rain for days, and the scorching sun scorched the leaves of the trees, the grass turned into dead grass, the ground cracked, and there was a problem with drinking water in the southern county. The generals of Jiangdong have said that Lu Xun must go out of the city to start a decisive battle, and if he does not take action, these hundreds of thousands of troops will die of thirst in the city.

As the commander of the three armed forces, Lu Xun is under great pressure, and he is not aware of his current crisis, but he has no safe plan to break the enemy.

On this day, Lu Xun went to the city wall to check the military situation, and saw a group of naughty children on the road, who were lighting a pile of dead leaves, and the smoke and dust blocked his way.

The guards hurriedly stepped forward to reprimand them, and now that the weather is dry and dry, it has caused a fire, and it will be a big trouble. The children ran away in panic, and Lu Xun looked at the remnants of the flames and suddenly laughed.

Lu Xun turned around and went back to the official residence, took out the map and looked at it in detail, circled the key places, and finally, he called the generals of Jiangdong.

When the generals saw this posture, they were very excited, knowing that Lu Xun was finally going to give the general attack order.

"Han Dang, Zhou Tai!"

"The last general!"

"The two of you led 20,000 soldiers and horses to fight out from the west gate, breaking off the north-south connection of the Shu army, you must stick to the end, and you must not let a soldier from the north go south." Lu Xun said.

"The last general will not fail in his mission." Han Dang and Zhou Tai said in unison.

"Ding Feng, Xu Sheng!"

"The last general!"

"The two of you each led 20,000 soldiers and horses from the north gate to attack the Shu army at the northern foothills, just drag it down, and don't seek victory." Lu Xun commanded.

"Listen to the Governor." Ding Feng and Xu Sheng said in unison.

"Pan Zhang, Ling Tong!"

"Please instruct the Grand Governor!" The second will be out of the queue immediately.

"The two of you and I together, led an army of 80,000, divided into eight routes, lit torches, and burned the Shu military camp on the south side, remember, we have only one purpose, to kill Liu Bei." Lu Xun said.

Pan Zhang and Ling Tong were simply happy, this was a truly decent battle, and immediately agreed in unison.

Everyone immediately went back to prepare, and three days after the big battle, Lu Xun assigned Zhuge Jin another task, that is, to lead the only remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city to receive the army back to the city at any time.

Lu Xun quickly sent a letter to Buqi, Sun Huan and Zhu Ran of Yidao, who were still on the south bank, and resolutely intercepted them once they found Liu Bei's whereabouts fleeing south.

There was a problem with drinking water in Nanjun City, but Liu Bei's army was stationed in the foothills, and there was always some water from small streams to drink, and when it was hot, there were cool mountains and rocks to rely on, and he was not afraid of the drought here.

Liu Bei felt that his strategic deployment was very clever, if he hadn't arranged the troops like this, he was afraid that the army would have had no choice but to retreat because of the lack of drinking water at this time.

Because Cheng Yi proposed this strategy, he became a little celebrity in front of Liu Bei, and he could often go in and out of Liu Bei's big tent, and even accompany Liu Bei to drink and chat.

On this day, Liu Bei was drinking with Cheng Ji, and the strategist Chen Zhen came to say: "Holy Lord, my army has been stationed here for a hundred days, and there is a shortage of water in Nanjun today, so why not reunite the army and attack Nanjun?" ”
