As early as when Zhuge Liang was in Jingzhou, he sent someone to draw this map that was very precise at that time, but because he did not support Liu Bei to send troops to Jingzhou, he never took it out.

I thought that the fall of Huang Zhong, the supreme general in the army, could make Liu Bei retreat, and the death of Ma Liang could reduce Liu Bei's fighting spirit, but Zhuge Liang couldn't wait for the news of Liu Bei's return to the dynasty.

Seeing Liu Bei so persistent and making a gesture of refusing to give up, Zhuge Liang sighed deeply, as a courtier, he still has to do his part, and he can't sit idly by and let meaningless sacrifices happen one after another.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's letter arrive, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and hurriedly unfolded it with a smile, and just looked at it twice, he laughed out loud, when the world is a genius, only Kong Mingye!

I saw Zhuge Liang write in the letter: "Holy Lord, I am deeply worried about it for many days. Now I heard that our army has arrived in Dangyang, and I have not conquered it for a long time, so I will offer a plan and hope that the saint will consider it. The minister heard that the water in Dangyang City comes from the spring of the low mountain in the city, and this spring is connected with the spring of Buyang Mountain in the south of the city. ”

When Liu Bei saw this, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, in the end, Zhuge Liang had a good brain, in comparison, these strategists under his command were not worth mentioning. Even Liu Bei was still thinking, if he really couldn't do it, he put down his face and sent someone to take Zhuge Liang over, why worry about the grand plan?

But the next words made Liu Bei feel very unhappy, and I saw Zhuge Liang continue to write: "Huang Zhong and Ma Liang fell, and the ministers were very sad and couldn't sleep at night. In this Eastern Crusade, even the ungood generals and virtuous ministers seem to be unlucky, and please ask the Holy Lord to collect the troops as appropriate, and wait for the next day to fight again. If the saint insists on continuing the crusade to the east, he can gather the army in one place and face the enemy head-on, so that he has a chance of winning, and if he divides his troops in many places, the victory or defeat is unpredictable! ”

Zhuge Liang said all from the bottom of his heart, but Liu Bei didn't buy it, he felt that Zhuge Liang shouldn't say such frustrating words, to this day, although he has not won Yidao, but on the whole, the loss of troops on his side is not large, and he still occupies an absolute advantage, how can he predict the outcome of the battle?

Liu Bei is confident that this battle will be won, but the losses will be more than expected, and the time will take more than expected, so that he will not be as alarmist as Zhuge Liang.

Liu Bei suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and completely broke off the idea of taking Zhuge Liang over, but still according to Zhuge Liang's strategy, he sent an army to divert the mountain spring on Shouyang Mountain to other places, temporarily contain the army, and wait and see what happens.

Sure enough, as Zhuge Liang expected, when the spring water of Shouyang Mountain no longer penetrated into Dangyang City, the spring water on the low mountain of Dangyang City dried up overnight.

The soldiers in the city, together with more than 100,000 people, had no water to make a big mess, Han Dang and Zhou Tai immediately realized that the situation was serious, and it was time for Cheng Dù to be urgent.

Liu Bei's army besieged the city, and it was not easy to escape from Dangyang, besides, both of them were born as fierce generals, and it was too faceless to retreat without a fight.

After some discussion, Han Dang and Zhou Tai sent someone to send a letter of war to Liu Bei with the attitude of trying it out, agreeing to fight a decisive battle at the east gate at noon tomorrow. The two of them have already figured it out, Liu Bei will probably not agree, the city has done its best to protect it so far, then strive to break through the encirclement and return to Nanjun.

Liu Bei received the battle letters from Han Dang and Zhou Tai, and he was overjoyed, but he was afraid that the two generals would not want to fight, and he confidently believed that with the advantage of troops on his side, Han Dang and Zhou Tai and others were by no means opponents.

So Liu Bei happily agreed, and felt that he was very kingly, but he didn't know that he had made another mistake in strategy. Now that the time and place are favorable, why do you need to negotiate conditions with Han Dang, Zhou Tai and others, if Liu Bei continues to use the method of forcibly besieging the city, Han Dang and Zhou Tai are only afraid that they will be trapped and die in Dangyang City.

At noon the next day, the east gate of Dangyang City was opened, and Han Dang and Zhou Tai led 30,000 troops out of the city, and quickly opened up with Liu Bei's army.

As the banner unfolded, Liu Bei's luxury chariot was pushed out, with a yellow umbrella cover, surrounded by yellow and white flags on the left and right, fluttering in the wind, with the posture of an emperor.

"Holy Lord, Han and Erren poured their troops and horses, afraid that they wanted to break through and escape."

The strategist Cheng Yi saw the way this time, but Liu Bei didn't believe him at this time, after fighting for so long, he couldn't give the other party a dismount, and waved his hand and said: "Let's look at the changes!" ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei dared to come out in person, Han Dang was very surprised, and shouted loudly: "Liu Xuande, you are now the lord of Shu, and you dare to go out in person, if there is negligence, I am afraid that I will regret it!" ”

Haha, Liu Bei looked up to the sky and laughed, he really couldn't do it! So he scolded unceremoniously: "You wait for the Jiangdong thieves, hurt my hands and feet, I should personally kill you, with no hatred in my heart." ”

"Hugh said wildly, it is unknown who will die today!" Han Dang was very annoyed by the scolding, and turned around and asked, "Who dares to rush to catch the big-eared thief alive?" ”

"The last will go!" Han Dang's subordinate general Xia Sui rode out of the horse, waved his knife and rushed straight towards Liu Bei.

"Nameless people, how dare you want to hurt my lord!" Zhang Bao roared, urged the horse to rush out, and intercepted Xia Sui.

Zhang Bao's voice shook Xia Sui's ears buzzing, and the aftermath was endless, and there was a little fear in his heart, he stabilized his mind, waved a big knife, and a few knife lights quickly hit Zhang Bao's face.

Zhang Bao snorted coldly, and the Zhangba snake spear flicked left and right for a while, accompanied by a crashing sound, easily defusing Xia Sui's attack. Liu Bei watched the battle leisurely, and pointed at others, lamenting that the virtuous nephew had the style of his father, and hoped that Zhang Bao could become a talent as soon as possible and become a pillar of the country.

The force from the weapon made Xia Sui's wrist sore, and he could barely hold the big knife, and at this moment, Zhang Bao let out another annoying roar, and the whole person jumped up from the horse, and the spear in his hand was like a black lightning, stabbing straight into Xia Sui's chest.

Xia Sui hurriedly returned the knife to block it, but when Zhang Bao's spear came to him, it instantly turned into three, and he couldn't tell which one was real.

Xia Sui panicked and fluttered the big knife, which seemed to defuse Zhang Bao's attack, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, three more attacks came towards him.

This distance is too close, it is impossible to dodge, just when Xia Sui was stunned, a black light had already broken through the barrier of the big knife, pierced Xia Sui's left shoulder, and then pulled it out, and a stream of blood arrows gushed out.

Xia Sui let out a miserable scream, and the big knife was instantly taken off, and Zhang Bao did not hesitate, and stabbed the snake spear out again, hitting Xia Sui's chest, but this time he didn't pull out the snake spear, but shouted, and his arms were forced, and he actually raised Xia Sui high.

Xia Sui struggled weakly with his hands and feet a few times, his limbs and head drooped, and he died on the spot, and the Jiangdong army was all shocked and frightened.
