Three Kingdoms, you are so cute

When the news came, Guan Shan and the others couldn't believe it—Zhang Lu didn't have many troops, and Liu Zheng might not lose to him in terms of marching troops, let alone Fazhen going with him.

But their first battle at Dingjun Mountain turned out to be a disastrous defeat!

why?

At this time, it has been almost a month since Gao Shun, Liu Zheng and others led their troops to the expedition.

Gao Shun's people are mostly armored infantry, and cavalry only account for one-third.It was said that the speed would not be very fast, but he insisted on quickly meeting Ma Chao on the Qiang Road, and the two armies clashed.Gao Shun's heavy armored infantry was attacking Ma Chao's cavalry, and Gao Shun was the general, needless to say his commanding ability.Therefore, although Ma Chao is also a young general, and has more troops than Gao Shun, he did not get cheap from Gao Shun's men.

After the fierce battle, Ma Chao's losses far exceeded Gao Shun's, so Ma Chao made a decisive decision and stopped fighting the enemy, but he did not retreat, he was just looking for the right time.Obviously, Gao Shun was also waiting for the opportunity.As a result, the Gao and Ma armies of Qiang Dao are now in a stalemate.

Guan Shan, Jia Xu and others have far more confidence in Gao Shun than Liu Zheng. Besides, Ma Chao is attacking Yizhou from Xiliang, and the meaning of Zhang Lu's rebellion against Guan Shan, the Yizhou shepherd, is completely different.Guan Shan has been a shepherd in Yizhou for a short time, and the people's hearts are not stable, and the powerful and powerful families of all parties are still in a wait-and-see attitude.If Zhang Lu's rebel army can't suppress it as quickly as possible, maybe more people like him will emerge soon.At that time, no matter how strong Guan Shan was, she would be outmatched with two fists and four hands. What's more, there were not many people she could use, so it was a disadvantage to divide the troops.

Therefore, the strategy they set up at the beginning was that Gao Shun could temporarily delay Ma Chao's side, solve the problem of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong as quickly as possible, and then increase the number of troops to repel the Xiliang army.Therefore, Liu Zheng brought far more soldiers and horses this time than Gao Shun, and it was twice as fast as Zhang Lu.

But now, Gao Shun's situation is better than Jia Xu's expectation, and Liu Zhengfa's side is also worse than everyone's expectation.

When Guan Shan heard the news, she stood up immediately, opened her eyes wide, scanned the report in her hand again, frowned tightly and said, "A Ying, prepare the battle robe and horse for me." She gritted her teeth, "Another 1 horses will be transferred, and I will lead troops to reinforce Liu Zheng."

Tang Ying also frowned. Before she heard the words, Jia Xu was already shaking her head aside: "Ten thousand soldiers and horses? It's best not to move the guards in Chengdu now. Otherwise, any powerful party or Liu Yan's former troops If you want to take the opportunity to seize the city, Chengdu City is vulnerable. If you lose Chengdu City, even if you destroy Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, so what? I am afraid that the gain is not worth the loss. What's more..."

"Then find a way to send me 5000 people. I am very relieved to hand over the city of Chengdu to you. I believe that you will be able to keep our city of Chengdu." Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Guan Shan's deep voice. .She has always respected Jia Xu very much, and this is the first time she has been so rude. "Aying, go get ready." Seeing that Tang Ying seemed to have something to say, she immediately raised her hand to stop her, "No need to say more, I've made up my mind. You and sir, Zhang Song, Li Yan and others , Hold this Chengdu City firmly for me, and wait for us to come back!"

Jia Xu thought about it for a few seconds, then agreed with a sigh: "In that case, I will call out 5000 people for my lord."

Guan Shan smiled at Jia Xu, nodded, and said, "Mr. Lao, hurry up and dispatch troops. It's now..." She looked up at the sky, "It's three quarters before the hour, I hope I can set off at the end of the hour."

"Yes, my lord." Jia Xu bent over, cupped his hands in salute, and stepped back quickly.

As soon as Jia Xu left, Guan Shan immediately went to see Tang Ying.

"Brother, Mr. Chengdu You, Zhang Song, and many courtiers are enough. I want to accompany you to Hanzhong." Tang Ying said quickly. "Your injuries haven't fully healed. It's already very bad to force reinforcements. How can there be no one to take care of you?"

Guan Shan's eyes softened in an instant, but she still shook her head firmly, explaining: "If I say no, I don't need to. Liu Zheng has more troops than Zhang Lu, and I don't believe that there is any strategist in Zhang Lu's tent who can match him." It's true. But he lost, and it was still a disastrous defeat, so I guess there must be something weird in Zhang Lujun. I know you worry about me, but I also worry about you. If you go, I will be distracted to take care of your safety , Aying, you can't go."

Tang Ying turned her head to the side, a complicated light flashed in her eyes, then she turned to look at Guan Shan, and said softly, "Sister... I understand what you mean, I won't go. But You are a woman, and the wound has not healed, so it is very inconvenient to apply the medicine by yourself. There are all men in the military camp, sister, you have to promise me, take Chu He with you, let her help you make some medicine, it is not convenient for men to go Things to do."

Chu He was the maid who was sent to Tang Ying by Gu Jiufen after the first batch of servants bought back had been trained.There is also Qinglan, the two of them have been with her for some time.

Guan Shan immediately frowned again when she heard the words: "I'll just take Ayu with you. Chu He is your maid, isn't she?"

Tang Ying's eyes flickered, as if there was a flash of cold light for a moment, but it was only fleeting, so close that Guan Shan didn't see it clearly.

"Ayu..." Tang Ying hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, sister will bring Ayu and Chuhe together. Sister, Ayu is not very good at serving people. I think Chuhe is very considerate and considerate." , and she is served by my side, following my sister is like following me. Just to make me feel at ease, my sister will agree to take her with me, okay?"

Anyway, it's okay to bring one, and it's okay to bring two, and it's really inconvenient for her to be alone.Guan Shan nodded: "Okay, I'll bring Chu He with me."

Tang Ying forced a smile, and said in a low voice, "Then, I'll go and prepare the shirt and other necessary things for my sister."

"Yeah. Ah Ying, you remember faster."

After receiving the news, Fan Mi greeted Gu Jiu, and immediately led a group of people to rush out before Guan Shan, and hurried straight to the main battlefield of Liu Zheng, Zhang and Lu armies.

Before entering Hanzhong, they broke up into pieces, pretending to be civilians and entering Hanzhong County in their own unique ways.

Guan Shan took the 7000 soldiers and horses dispatched by Jia Xu, plus the [-] operas squeezed out by the State Shepherd's Mansion, a total of [-] people, and rushed to Dingjun Mountain as quickly as possible.

Along the way, news about the other side of the battlefield kept coming, and the closer to Dingjun Mountain, the more detailed the news.When she was about to reach Dingjun Mountain, Guan Shan could already guess why Liu Zhengfazhen and others were defeated by Zhang Lu.

Dingjun Mountain is not just one mountain, there are twelve peaks connected with each other, rolling up and down.It was spring at this time, and the trees had already begun to grow branches. The ancient trees were staggered, and the weeds were overgrown, making the terrain even more complicated.

According to the news sent back by Fan Mi, Zhang Lu not only used the complex terrain he was familiar with, but also did not know who came up with a plan. He even used some local people in Dingjun Mountain to guide the way. After the army arrived at the foot of Dingjun Mountain and set up camp, they went around behind them that night, attracting countless wild beasts to attack the camp. When the soldiers under Liu Zheng's tent thought that there was a vision from heaven and panicked, Zhang Lu led the army to attack at night. It is twice the result with half the effort.Liu Zheng's army was caught off guard, and there were countless people who trampled to death while fleeing in panic.Therefore, in real terms, Liu Zheng's army could be regarded as having suffered a defeat without confronting Zhang Lu's army head-on at all.

But, no matter how you calculate it, if you lose, you lose.

In the following time, Liu Zheng and others suddenly discovered that Zhang Lujun did not have a camp, they were hidden on Dingjun Mountain, their number was unknown, and their whereabouts were erratic, making it difficult to figure out.Usually Liu Zheng and the others are worried about where the enemy army is, but they are taking a cold breath to see that when Liu Zheng's army relaxes its vigilance, they will suddenly fall from the sky and rush into a corner of the camp.No matter what they do, they move very quickly. Whenever they attack the left wing of the camp, before the central army and the right wing have time to support them, they have already hit the target and continue to run into the Dingjun Mountain not far away without any reluctance to fight, disappearing. not see.

This method made Guan Shan very surprised and cautious when she saw the information—it was a guerrilla war, isn’t it? !There is a genius strategist in Zhang Lu's army, or is he also a person who traveled through time like her?That person is probably a party member...

When Guan Shan arrived at Dingjun Mountain, on a whim, she ordered the 5000 troops that Jia Xu squeezed out for her to bring all the supplies and food and grass, merged into Liu Zheng's army, and announced with great fanfare that reinforcements had arrived.And she took the two thousand pieces brought out by the State Shepherd's Mansion, entered Dingjun Mountain as quickly as possible, and hid.

On a peak in Dingjun Mountain, there are towering ancient trees, crowns like canopies, branches and roots intertwined, occasionally chirping birds, and a few shadows running fast in the jungle from time to time.

All these are the reasons for Chen Yu's face to change color.

Guan Shan sat on a big rock in the simple wooden shed, thinking about how to find him.These twelve mountains are neither big nor small. It is not difficult to find an army of tens of thousands of people. Finding a few or hundreds of people is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Definitely not going to work.

Chen Yu looked outside the wooden shed, with a pale face, tremblingly walked to Guan Shan's side, and called in a trembling voice, "Master..."

"Huh?" Guan Shan was still thinking about her own affairs, and responded casually.After waiting for a while, she didn't hear Chen Yu speak again. She turned to look at her, and was immediately startled: "A Yu, are you uncomfortable? Why is your face so bad? When did it start? Why didn't you tell me earlier? The military doctor followed her just now. Jiang Le and the others went out to explore the way."

Chen Yu shook his head and forced a smile: "A Yu is fine, it's just..." He looked up and looked outside, under the misty light, another bird flew past with flapping wings among the criss-crossing branches, sweeping down A few leaves whirled and fluttered in mid-air.She immediately trembled again, and stammered, "That's right, I think this forest is a bit scary..."

"Ah?" Guan Shan followed her line of sight in bewilderment, and said a little strangely, "Scary? Isn't it just a big forest, not a tropical rainforest or a primeval forest, what's so scary?"

Chen Yu continued to shake his head tremblingly, his complexion was still extremely bad, and he trembled when he heard any sound.

As for those who are so threatening?Guan Shan found it difficult to understand Chen Yu's thoughts.She could only grab Chen Yu's hand and hold it, comforting her and saying, "It's okay, it's okay, there are so many of us. It's just a few birds and beasts, they can't hurt us at all, so there's nothing to be afraid of at all, right? "

Chen Yu was obviously trying to build up his mind. After a while, he nodded his head, and his complexion improved a little: "Thank you, my lord, Ah Yu is much better. Uh..." She suddenly glanced at Chu He who was at the side with a guilty conscience , said in a low voice, "Miss Chuhe is much better than me, son, look, she looks as usual, and she is still busy with work."

Guan Shan turned her head to see that Chu He had already made a bed on the floor in the simple wooden shed. At this moment, she was setting up the shelves, taking out the pots and spoons, and taking out some hard pancakes.

Chu He has a very handsome face, and she is 19 years old now.She is very calm, careful and proper in doing things, she will say what she should say, and she will not say a word that should not be said. Shan is very busy.At this time, both Guan Shan and Chen Yu went to see her, and she also looked neither anxious nor restless nor panicked, doing what she should do.

Guan Shan saw that she took some firewood and started to light the fire. A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she immediately looked carefully. After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up—she thought of how to find the enemy in this big mountain forest!

At this moment, it is five hundred miles away from Dingjun Mountain.

Together with three people, Fan Mi pretended to be refugees from the war-torn land and sneaked into a small village.Among the four, Fan Mi was considered to be the oldest. Among them was a boy who was only 14 years old. Due to long-term hunger and full meals and malnutrition, he was sallow and thin, and he was not tall, so he didn't need to pretend. It looks like a bit of a refugee.The others had their faces dirty and wore tattered bunts, so they looked like qualified refugees.

This village is not big, but there are tens of thousands of troops stationed outside the village, with sufficient food and grass, and there are not a few other arrows and other things.

This is why this ordinary small village attracted Fan Mi and the others to sneak in.

They had been sneaking into Hanzhong for several days, and a group of them dispersed to investigate and exchange news regularly.After searching everywhere, they finally found important information for Fan Mi and the others today.

Zhang Lujun didn't mean that they were all broken up and hidden in Dingjun Mountain.This small village is his base camp.

After Fan Mi and the other three made an agreement, they dispersed, pretending to be casually wandering around the village, asking random questions along the way, with some information about the troops stationed outside the village mixed in from time to time.

He thought that what he had done was concealed enough that ordinary people would not notice anything unusual.

But Fan Mi made a miscalculation—because he didn't expect, and no one thought, that Zhang Lu raised his troops to fight Guan Shan, the new Yizhou shepherd, and the instigator was in this village.

The first time Fan Mi and the others entered the village, he sent someone to secretly monitor them. Naturally, he immediately saw that something was wrong with Fan Mi and the others.

So Fan Mi and the others were tied up and arrested without any precautions, and sent to the military camp outside the village.

Fan Mi was bound by ropes, blindfolded and stumbled all the way, when the cloth over his eyes was removed, he saw himself in the tent at a glance.And the three people with him, without exception, all stayed here like him.

Behind the table a few steps away from them, sat a man with a wide-sleeved robe, an elegant face, and a slim figure.With a scribes bun on his arm, with a somewhat leisurely smile on his face, he stood up, straightened his robe, cupped his hands towards Fan Mi and the others, and said politely: "I have no choice but to invite you in this way." Come here, and look at Haihan."

Fan Mi was taken aback: Who is this person?It has been a day or two since they secretly investigated Hanzhong, why have they never heard of such a person under Zhang Lu's subordinates?Or, he is not from Zhang Lu?So who is he?If you act like this, is it an enemy or a friend?
