Master book fish farming these years [Three Kingdoms]

The road in Yizhou is rugged, with many mountains and ravines.

When Ruan Qing drove to Yangping Pass, Zhang Lu had already heard the news and hurriedly sent his younger brothers Zhang Wei and Yang Ang to guard.

When Zhang Wei first arrived at Yangping Pass, Zhang Wei discussed the countermeasures with Yang Ang. Yang Ang said, "We can build a city wall along the mountain, and take strict precautions everywhere to prevent the city from being stolen. Let the people curse at the city, and we will only stay out of the army. The enemy is coming from afar. Come, there will be high mountains and dangerous obstacles, food and grass will be difficult to travel, at most one month, the other army will retreat without fighting, and when it retreats, our army can take advantage of the momentum and attack."

After hearing this, Zhang Wei ordered people to build a city wall along the mountain that stretched for more than ten miles. More than ten miles away, it was surrounded by mountains and mountains, making it difficult for birds to fly.

Ruan Qing drove to the village ten miles outside the city, and led the army to the front of the city the next day.

I saw that the city was built next to the mountain, and the terrain was dangerous.Looking around, green has grown on the mountain, but you can still see strange rocks that can't be covered anywhere, and the mountain is so tall that it almost towers into the clouds.

He had been to Yizhou once, and he and Zhao Yun had come here for Cao Jun's food and grass, and he had never seen the customs of the middle of Sichuan by riding on the handmade roc of Nanhua, soaring through the clouds and driving the fog.

Seeing the towering surroundings, Pingyang Pass stands majestically and majesticly in front of the mountain, like a fierce general guarding the mountain, which makes people feel shocked.

Ruan Qing held the reins in one hand and patted his thigh slowly with the whip in the other. Looking at the city waiting in full force, he couldn't help but sneered, and Cao Zhang, who was on the counter-horse, said, "The road to Shu is difficult, and it's difficult to get on." Qingtian, it is difficult for one man to be a ten thousand man, today is the real experience, with this natural danger, as long as the master has some brains, it is not difficult to be the emperor of the earth for a lifetime."

"Captain." Cao Zhang frowned and looked at the pawn's back, then raised his head to look at the people in the city who couldn't survive after shrinking their shells, and said in a low voice, "What can we do, watching the opponent's posture is exhausting. Uncle Yuan I don’t know if you and I drive here, I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep up with the grain and grass transported, and the army won’t last long.”

Ruan Qing tilted her head, looked at Cao Zhang with a smile, "Yes, what should the Second Young Master do?"

Cao Zhang's expression was a little stiff, his voice lowered a bit, and he could hardly hold on to his smile, "Commander, we're all here now, and now we're retreating, I'm afraid that the food and grass in the army won't be enough to get out of Xichuan."

"Are you afraid?"

"The governor is joking, Zhang Zhang has never been afraid."

"Then why are you in a hurry." Ruan Qing smiled and looked directly at the city, with cold eyes, and said lightly, "It's really a defeat, I can let you out of the river even if I die. Your father can answer Lu Bu face to face You don't want to lose your timidity, now you have nearly four thousand troops left under your command, it's really scary."

Cao Zhang bowed his head with a shy expression, "Zhang is taught."

Ruan Qing glanced at Cao Zhang, pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, "You just lead them here and scold loudly, don't stop, and go back after sunset."

"Yes."

"Drive." Ruan Qing scolded lightly, kicked the horse's belly, the horse trotted, and carried him around the army, back to the camp.

After returning to the camp, he came to his camp and sat down, spread out the pen and ink, picked up the ink ingot and slowly rubbed it in the inkstone, looking down at the spread white silk in a trance.

When he entered Sichuan, he had already sent a letter to Xia Houyuan, saying that Wudu County was pacified and would return soon.This can be regarded as stabilizing Xia Houyuan for a period of time.

Putting down the ink stick, he licked the ink, then leaned on the table crookedly, resting his right arm on the table, resting his head on the palm of his hand, holding the pen with two fingers on the side of his face, staring straight at a place in a daze. .

He had to act fast, and quickly took down Yangpingguan before Xia Houyuan came back to his senses. After all, it was hard for the Gu corpse to be exposed in front of the world, and it was even harder for the people in Cao Ying to know that he raised this thing.As for Zhang Lu, he has a way to surrender this person.

It's just that we won Hanzhong, and then go down, relying on only one Cao Zhang and a few thousand troops in this area will not be enough.You have to rely on the army to drive you here.

After thinking about it, he picked up a pen and wrote on the white silk,

"Wei Gong is healthy, and Ruan Qing, the governor of Pingxi, presented..."

Ruan Qing was getting more and more anxious day by day, and even asked Cao Zhang to scold him for five days. In the end, Cao Zhang got angry, with a red blister growing at the corner of his mouth, and everyone wanted to scold him by his collar.

Compared with Cao Zhang, Ruan Qing was much more leisurely, leading two or three soldiers behind him to accompany him on tours every day.By the way, survey the terrain.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he let rumors spread in the army that there was no food and grass and he wanted to withdraw his troops. When Cao Zhang came back from scolding the war and returned to his command, he said, "Pack up and return to the army tomorrow."

Cao Zhang didn't want to, "Captain, you've come here, how can you easily withdraw your troops?"

Ruan Qing got up with the book of war in her hand, carried it on her back, walked slowly to Cao Zhang, and pointed at Cao Zhang with a finger.

Cao Zhang didn't know why, so he leaned back slightly to avoid it, but Ruan Qing suddenly poked forward, pressing the fire pox straight.

Cao Zhang frowned, and the fierce general who usually charged into battle now gritted his teeth in pain and gasped in pain.

Ruan Qing burst into laughter immediately, the flowers trembling from the laughter, and after a while she gasped and said, "I went hiking today and picked up two honeysuckle plants, just in time for you to come, take them back and soak them in water to drink."

Cao Zhang was speechless. Seeing that Ruan Qing was still smiling, he called out in a low voice, "Sir!"

The smile on his face disappeared immediately, Ruan Qing waved his hands expressionlessly, and said lightly, "Go."

Cao Zhang, "..."

On the evening of the second day, the defenders on the city saw the flags of the barracks in the distance shaking and crowds of people, so they hurriedly reported to Zhang Wei.

At this time, the spy dispatched reported that Ruan Qing wanted to withdraw his troops at night.

Zhang Wei was delighted.

"Okay." He clapped the table, and said to Yang Ang who was standing by, "As expected by the general, the enemy will retreat within a few days. Since he wants to cover up in the darkness, he will definitely leave in a panic and unprepared. , the general can lead an army, chase them forward, and catch them by surprise."

It was getting dark, and an army was hurrying along the path.

Yang Ang led his troops to chase, and when he saw the rear army, he led the army to rush to kill him.

I don't think Ruan Qing has already ordered.Cao Zhang rushed out from the rear with a spear and a leaping horse, and came first.The army behind turned around quickly, and the rear army became the front army, fighting with the enemy.

When the battle was in progress, another army poured out from behind the mountain.It turned out that Ruan Qing led the army to lie down in the middle of the road, and let the enemy go. When he heard the sound of fighting and saw the fire, he rushed out.

After two pincer attacks, the Sichuan army could not resist and was quickly suppressed.Yang Ang escaped alone, not knowing where he was going.

Ruan Qing summoned Cao Zhang to kill all the surrendered troops and put his army on the enemy's armor. He asked someone to tie his hands behind his back on the horse's back, and his wrists were only lightly tied with ropes.

The army set up the banner of the enemy general, and took advantage of the night to return to Yangping and close the gate.

Not long after the third watch at that time, it was the time of night silence, and there was no stars and moon, and there was no light at all.

Cao Zhang sent someone to call the door, saying that he had captured the enemy general and returned.

The general guarding the city couldn't see the face clearly, he held up the fire to watch, saw a man was tied and pushed to the front of the city, he didn't suspect him, so he hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened.

Ruan Qing was gently pushed, and obediently walked forward, entered the city gate, followed by soldiers and horses.

Just as Ruan Qing entered, she suddenly heard a heart-piercing cry from behind in the night: "Quickly close the city gate, the enemy is making a move."

Before entering the door, Cao Zhang pulled down the bow and arrow from his horse, turned around suddenly, let go and shot at the sound, where the arrow flew, he heard a muffled sound, as if he had been shot, and the sound stopped abruptly, only the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground .

The defenders standing behind the gate reacted and shouted, "Close the gate quickly."

The rope on the wrist was already loose, and Ruan Qing's hands fell off as soon as he pulled them. His fingertips moved slightly, and the streamer flashed, and a cold knife appeared in his hand.

With a figure like a ghost, he flashed behind the man, and with a swipe of the blade against the man's neck, the man died instantly.

The scream was like the switch of a bomb, and the city gate suddenly became chaotic.

The soldiers following Ruan Qing drew their swords and fought with the defenders.

The army behind him rushed in like a wave.The defenders who were scattered around the city wall continued to gather at the city gate.

The flames shone brightly on the dome of the corridor, and the shadows of staggered and broken figures were projected onto the wall, like a mural of human sacrifice and killing, weird and bloody.

When the people in the city heard the sound, they fastened the door panels of their homes one after another. They dared not go out or sleep. They could only pray in fear that they would not be affected.

Ruan Qing's action almost attracted the attention of the whole city, no one paid any attention, a group of figures quietly climbed up the city wall built along the mountain.

Hearing the news, Zhang Wei was extremely anxious, and ordered the defenders from other places to resist.If the city gate falls, it will be completely finished.

"General, the general is not well." A young general stumbled into the room, covered in blood, it could be seen that he had just returned from the battlefield to report the letter.

He said, "The enemy sent people to climb up the defense wall along the mountain. I don't know how many people are there. The defense wall is about to be unable to hold it now. Please send troops over there."

Climbing up the city wall, if you can't retreat and break in all the way to surround the office, this is the complete end.

Zhang Wei hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, transfer the south gate guards there, and make sure to kill the enemy."

While talking, another young general rushed in, crying, "General, I don't know how many enemy troops have come. They are not as strong as ordinary people. They are almost impossible to kill. The gable has fallen."

"what!"

Before Zhang Wei could say anything, another person broke in. Zhang Wei saw that he was the general of the north gate guard.

Seeing that the general was also in a panic, he said, "I don't know where a group of people jumped out of the city and joined forces with the enemy to attack back and forth. The north gate has fallen."

Zhang Wei's face turned pale, and he said in shock, "How could this happen! It's only been so long, how can the enemy's speed be so fast!"

The North Gate General said, "General, the city is now full of enemy troops. They are rushing here, threatening to capture the General alive, General, run away."

"This..." Zhang Wei was overwhelmed and at a loss what to do, "The city is full of thieves, where are we going to escape?"

The north gate general said, "The bandit army is attacking from the northeast, and I would like to lead the army to escort the general to escape from the south gate, and return to Hanzhong all the way."

Speaking of Hanzhong, Zhang Wei finally came to his senses, with a look of embarrassment on his face and hesitation, "But, this is my elder brother who sent me here. Yangping Pass is the gate of Hanzhong, I..."

Now that the matter has come to an end, the general of the North Gate suddenly came to understand, and he felt a little desperate.understand why they lost.

The enemy camped step by step to lure them into the depths step by step. It is ridiculous that they don't know it yet, and they are still complacent.Now at the time of life and death, the leader is still hesitant.I can't complain that there is such a high mountain and natural danger that I can still lose.Look at these indecisive and indecisive generals who have been consumed by comfort and wealth, and you understand everything.

"General." The general at the north gate yelled, persuading with grief and indignation, "The general can go back to Hanzhong, set up another army, and then plan for the future. It is not too late now, the general must make a decision."

Zhang Wei stared at him blankly, and finally nodded with difficulty, "Let's go."

One night in a hurry.Dawn broke the sky.

Ruan Qing led people to the office to appease the old civil and military officers of the original class, so that they could still carry out their original duties, and sent people down to comfort the people.

After swiping away the crowd, he could relax his body, let out a long breath, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

He has been beating and killing so violently lately, and he has dispatched Gu corpses many times, his body can't stand it anymore.But he can't be decadent and slack in the slightest, he can only hold on, show it to outsiders, stabilize the morale of the army, so that these thousands of soldiers dare to continue to follow him.

He supported the table on his elbows, slumped down, and covered his face tightly with his palms.

It was pitch black before him, so he dared to complain softly in his heart, he was so tired...

Hearing light footsteps, he raised his head quickly.

The sunlight coming in from outside the door illuminated Ruan Qing's haggard cheeks like a blank sheet of paper.

The sunlight that suddenly turned from darkness to light made him feel uncomfortable for a moment, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Cao Zhang was excited because Ruan Qing's brilliant plan won another battle, but he didn't notice Ruan Qing's strangeness, his eyes were so bright that they almost shone.

"The reinforcements that suddenly appeared this time disappeared again. This time, Zhang saw it clearly. Does the governor still want to hide it?"

Rubbing the center of her eyebrows, Ruan Qing's expression was calm, and she said in a hoarse and tired voice, "What should I do? Are you busy with military affairs? I got this place, lest anyone still think about Zhang Lu, the old master, in private. Something happened, you don't pay attention to everywhere, and you came here to ask a trivial matter?"

"How can this be called a nostalgia." Cao Zhang corrected, "If it weren't for the reinforcements of this nostalgia, how could our army have taken down Zhucheng so quickly?"

Ruan Qing suddenly became restless when she heard Cao Zhang's childish curiosity and exploration.

He not only wants to take down Hanzhong, but also Chengdu.Now that Liu Bei and Liu Zhang are mixed together, he still has to deal with Zhuge Liang, who is difficult to deal with. He suffered a lot from this person when he was in Jiangdong, and now he really has no time to make up a reason for Cao Zhang not to show his feet.

Will he still be subject to this noise all the way?

"If you don't want to go big, you can withdraw your troops and go back." Ruan Qing looked at Cao Zhang coldly, her usually indifferent eyes instantly condensed into a lake of ice.

Cao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and the joy in his eyes gradually faded away. He couldn't react, "What, what?"

Ruan Qing said, "Should the commander-in-chief's idea be told to his subordinates? If you don't plan things in secret, you will be harmed. You haven't heard that walls have ears?"

I've already said you don't want to ask about this matter. I don't like nonsense, and I don't want to say it a third time in the future.You keep asking me now, but you think it's okay?If you have nothing to do, then lead the army back, and you can get a lot of rewards with your current achievements, so you don't need to continue walking with me.I have sent a letter to your father, and it will not be long before another army arrives. "

No matter what kind of friendship he had with Ruan Qing in Xiliang, and how kind Ruan Qing led him on weekdays, Ruan Qing was always the commander in chief of an army.

Cao Zhang reacted, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "It's Zhang's recklessness, the governor forgives the crime, if Zhang doesn't ask any more questions, I will leave."

Ruan Qing watched Cao Zhang's figure disappear into the room, and couldn't help but sneered again.

If you are really familiar with it, you will be unscrupulous.He originally thought that Cao Zhang was Cao Cao's son, so he had a good temper to deal with it.I didn't expect to kick my nose on my face.I really think Ruan Qing has a good temper.

After Zhang Song returned, he met Liu Bei and thought he was the master of the Ming Dynasty. He presented a map of central Sichuan and persuaded Liu Bei to seek for it.

Back in Chengdu, Zhang Song said it was good.Liu Zhang was afraid of Zhang Lu's invasion, and heard Ruan Qing's pacification of Xiliang, fearing that Cao Cao would react and invade together with Zhang Lu's alliance, so he listened to Zhang Song's recommendation and invited Liu Bei to Sichuan to help defend.

When the two met, they each had their own plans in mind, so they picked good things to say, and the two became closer day by day.

Xia Houyuan received Ruan Qing's message, and according to Ruan Qing's words, he first sent someone to report the victory to Cao Cao.

On this day, news came from the secret operation that Liu Bei and Liu Zhang were together, and Cao Cao became vigilant, fearing that Liu Bei would take down Yizhou.Thinking that Xiliang has been decided, Cao Cao first summoned his confidants to discuss the matter of advancing Xichuan in the hall.

While discussing, it was reported that Ruan Qing's messenger had arrived.

Naturally, Cao Cao didn't delay, called people in, opened the letter, read it hastily, and remained silent for a long time.

The people in the house didn't know what was going on, and seeing Cao Cao's gaffe, they hurriedly asked what happened.

Cao Cao smiled and sighed, "This Ruan Mu'er, he was plotting such a thing these days when he was silent. It's ridiculous that you and I are full of officials, but you are not as decisive as him alone. So far, I haven't concealed it from the drums. Li." As he spoke, he raised his hand, motioning for Yuan Qing who was beside him to pass the letter on.

The letter passed through each hand in turn.Those who read the content were stunned and said nothing, as if struck by lightning.

"Wei Gong is healthy, and Ruan Qing, the governor of Pingxi, submits:

Now that Ma Chao has been removed, Xiliang has been settled, and the Di people in Wudu have surrendered, the public can be said to have no worries about the future.The north has been set, the Holy Emperor will rule, and the south must be planned.Sun Quan in Jiangdong is in full swing, so he can only slow down.Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang in Yizhou are the masters of mediocrity. They have been at ease for many years, and their ambitions have been exhausted.

The Art of War says, 'Surprise is the most important thing in a soldier's battle. "When the two armies are at war, the opportunity must not be lost."Before returning to the army, Qing presented Wei Gong in front of the army and led the troops into Sichuan. Now that he has reached Pingyang Pass, he can take Hanzhong soon.Wang Gong and forgive you for the crime of using soldiers arbitrarily.Send troops quickly to conquer Chengdu, so that Yizhou can be settled.At the time of introduction, please ask Gong Zhiqing to commit crimes. "

Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Well, there is no need to worry about whether to send troops or not. Once it is in place, force people to go over.

"Why is Ruan Qing so fast?" Cheng Yu said, "General Miaocai sent the letter a few days ago, and he killed Pingyang!"

Cheng Yu's words made Cao Cao's heart skip a beat, and his expression gradually sank.

If Ruan Qing wanted to mobilize troops, even if Xia Houyuan couldn't stop him, it was impossible not to tell him.But there was nothing in the letter that came in a few days ago, which shows that Xia Houyuan doesn't know what Ruan Qing is doing now.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart suddenly lifted.

Does Ruan Qing want to die?Without even a backup, a lone army broke in.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't sit still, and got up from the soft couch in a "teng".

"Send a message to Xia Houyuan quickly, telling him to lead troops to support Ruan Qing."

Xia Houyuan still foolishly left Chang'an, waiting for Ruan Qing to come, and Cao Zhang for not coming, Cao Cao sent a letter urging him to send troops immediately.

After reading the content, Xia Houyuan, who has been able to fight the enemy for decades with a golden and iron horse, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his hands were shaking like Parkinson's, and he jumped up and shouted for people to prepare to send troops quickly.

Are these two monsters going to die?

He was very clear that the total strength of these two troops was no more than [-], and it was fine to level Wudu County, and they went straight to Yizhou without making a sound!

Xia Houyuan is now all in his heart, and he is slightly relieved because he saw the letter.

Dear grandpa, thanks to the people in Yizhou who didn't know that the two bastards Ruan Qing and Cao Zhang escaped secretly, otherwise they would have lost their way back and no one would have known when they died.

At that time, Ruan Qing didn't know at all that the two elders in the family who were used to seeing the big world were disturbed because of their fright, and he was dealing with Zhang Lu's matter.

Zhang Lu, the coward, packed up and ran to the bus after hearing from Zhang Wei that Pingyang Pass was lost and Ruan Qing's army was unstoppable.

Ruan Qing originally thought that she would have to spend a lot of effort, but unexpectedly entered Hanzhong City inexplicably.

Looking at the mountains of gold, silk, grain and rice in the treasury, he couldn't help but be filled with emotion.Zhang Lu just relied on the shade of his father's generation to fiddle with the Five Dou Mijiao in his own territory, jumping the gods, pretending to be immortals, and pitting the common people. Thanks to the dangerous fortress of Shu as a barrier, if he lost the Central Plains, it would take two years. , the checkpoint will disappear before the first year of Jian'an.

Although Hanzhong was won, Zhang Lu couldn't ignore it.After all, Zhang Lu has taken root here for many years, so he still has some influence.

Thinking that she would continue to chase Zhang Lu again, Ruan Qing had a headache.

It's better to just stay in the city and let him have a beating to save trouble.Now it's over.Anyway, with Zhang Lu's ability, he can't last long.
