This year, the autumn rain season in Chencang City came more rapidly than usual. The autumn rain lasted until the end of October, almost the beginning of winter. At this time, Zhuge Liang was in Nan'an, vigorously taking care of the affairs of the three counties. Although they were all in the hinterland of Liangzhou, The grain output of these three counties is really not that good. Only the Loess Plateau of Liangzhou is rich in many fine horses. Naturally, the troops secretly trained by Li Xian reported it as soon as possible and arranged for people to send them away. Guo Xiu and his mother, Zhuge Liang gave their unit the name Ye Xiao, and were still under the command of Li Xian. In order to allow this unit to play its best role, under the guidance of Liang Xu, they purchased a large number of carrots and boiled them into juice. Drink with these sergeants every day.
Since the trees in the east of Nan'an are relatively sparse, they can only manage to make up six bed crossbows at this moment. A total of 300 sergeants are needed to activate these bed crossbows, and the cavalry called by Ma Dai from the Qiang and Hu lands gradually Now that he has improved and is able to understand orders, Zhuge Liang, who had been looking sad since the Battle of Yiling, suddenly had a middle-aged and triumphant spirit, and his face became more rosy. He suddenly felt that Recovering the Central Plains was not as difficult as he imagined.
Inside the Nan'an campus.
"General, General Liang Xu has something important to report. I would also like to ask the general to go to the market in the west of the city at this moment."
Li Xian nodded and signaled the person who was delivering the order to get down, and then let the army rest for a while. Gong Jie and Tian Dali continued to watch. He washed his face and immediately ran to the west market of the city. He was secretly happy. Could it be that there are people here too? He wanted to see what kind of mission it was to be a fierce general who had never been born before, or a general whose name was not recorded in the history books, so he went to it himself.
City West Market.
A strong man with a height of nine feet, a beard, a leopard head and eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a loud voice stood in front of Liang Xu. There was already a height difference of two feet, but at this moment, Liang Xu looked like he was facing a giant. .
"I said, unless the champion comes in person, I won't believe you." The man said.
"It doesn't matter, the champion will be here soon. I will be his general. Why are you going through this? Why don't you just go with me?" Liang Xu was also helpless, but he thought to himself, if this person is really capable, It would be better to trouble the champion to go there in person.
Not long after, Li Xian walked quickly into the market. He saw that this sturdy man was a foot taller than himself, and asked, "What do you call a strong man?"
"Are you the champion?" The strong man looked Li Xian up and down, then looked down and replied.
"Bold, this is your Majesty's personal marquis, do you dare to call him that?" Liang Xu was also anxious for a moment, but he didn't expect this person to be so ignorant of etiquette.
Li Xian quickly stopped him and said, "It's okay, brave man. I'm just the one. I'd like to ask him his name."
But the strong man immediately knelt down, clasped his fists with both hands, and replied: "I have heard about the name of the champion for a long time. I am Xu Zhi of Liangzhou. I said goodbye to my mother yesterday and came to join the army. I just wanted to join the champion. So when I saw I only believe in the champion himself."
Li Xian was overjoyed for a moment and laughed loudly: "You are so good, Xu Zhi. The general is in need of talents like you. If you have any skills, please come to the school and use them."
Not long after, the three people arrived at the school grounds.
Xu Zhi cupped his hands and said, "Please be careful, Lord Marquis. I can use a big axe, but the axes in the camp are too light."
Li Xian was a little confused by the title of Marquis, so he asked: "How much do you want? Just call me general."
"Yes, I want sixty pounds."
"Go and get General Xu a sixty-jin ax!" Li Xian immediately ordered. After a while, with the joint efforts of five sergeants, he finally carried a sixty-jin ax up.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhi raised it with one hand, as if nothing had happened, "General, watch out, I will make this called the Xuanhua Big Axe, there are thirty-six ways in total."
For a moment, Xu Zhi dance started, and the onlookers were all dumbfounded. There is such a powerful person in the world. Of course, Li Xian was also very happy to see it. When he swung the ax, he really opened and closed. This man is a scholar. He had defeated Liao Hua and Zhang Ning, and was still able to draw a tie despite being surrounded by four generals. He even killed generals Xie Xiong and Gong Qi. If he had not fought against Wang Shuang before, he would never have believed that the world There was someone with such great strength. Compared to Wang Shuang, at this moment he felt that Xu Zhi seemed to have a higher level of martial arts.
After the thirty-sixth big ax was used, Xu Zhi was not out of breath, but his face was still as flat as a lake, and he said: "General, I can also ride and shoot."
Li Xian immediately understood: "Go get a good horse for General Xu and mount an iron bow."
Not long after, a huge black horse appeared in the school grounds. Xu Zhi got on the horse. The black horse still wanted to struggle, but was knocked down by a punch. Then it carried Wang Shuang and ran in the school grounds. Xu Zhi spread his arms and legs. With his arm, he drew the bow and set an arrow, and with a whoosh sound, an arrow hit the target...
Nan'an County Sheriff's Mansion.
"Why is the school grounds so noisy?" Zhuge Liang asked without raising his head while eating his meal and reading the military report.
"I heard that General Li Xian got a new strong general." Yang Yi beside him replied with his hands raised.
Zhuge Liang immediately raised his head after hearing this: "Oh, is there such a thing? Let's go and see for ourselves." Just as he was about to get up, he heard a lot of noise outside the mansion. Li Xian and Xu Zhi were already waiting at the governor's mansion. .
"Han Xing, who is this?" Zhuge Liang asked.
"Prime Minister, this man is a fierce general discovered by General Liang Xu in the market. His name is Xu Zhi. He wields a sixty-pound mountain-breaking ax and a three-stone iron bow. He is brave enough to be worthy of ten thousand men. He is specially recommended to the Prime Minister." Li Xian cupped his hands and said.
Zhuge Liang looked at General Xu and was already amazed: "How old is General Xu?"
"I have just turned eighteen, Prime Minister, and I want to be a general." Xu Zhi said.
Zhuge Liang also laughed when he heard this: "Okay, okay, the person recommended by General Li is naturally capable. Let's do this. You will be an infantry captain before General Li. If you can kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, I will naturally recommend you to the Holy Master." "
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Xu Zhi said with cupped hands.
...
Sima Yi's military camp in Chang'an.
"Dad! This is clearly Zhang He's trick. He has caused Brother Zhao to look like this. How can we not write a book to refer to him?" Master Sima said angrily.
"Bullshit! You hold it back, General Zhang He is the leader of the country, you can't impeach him at will." Sima Yi sternly reprimanded, how could he not feel distressed at this time, his son's legs were broken, He is already speechless, but what can he do at this time? If he goes to the memorial, Zhang He will naturally write a book saying that Sima Zhao is to blame for his greed and rashness. The matter cannot be solved and he is still covered in meat and fish. Why bother? What's more, Cao Zhen and Zhang He and his like are also How could he be Zhuge Liang's opponent? All he had to do was wait for the opportunity. There would be plenty of opportunity for such a big enemy to take revenge.
"Dad, can you just bear to look at Zhaodi like this?" Master Sima cried.
"Why are you crying? My father told me that Zhang He is about to die and Cao Zhen is about to die too!" Sima Yi scolded sternly.
Master Sima was startled and asked: "Father...what do you mean?"
"If you don't understand, just figure it out for yourself! I'm such an idiot!" Sima Yi was obviously extremely angry, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "It's a pity that we lost two generals, Guo Huai and Sun Li, in this battle, and Governor Hao has a long history of stubborn illnesses. I'm afraid Chen Cang will be defeated this time." It’s really dangerous.”
"Father...you mean...Chencang can't be saved? Then isn't the Emperor of Wei in danger?" Master Sima asked in confusion.
Sima Yi just said calmly: "No, if General Zhang He and Cao Zhen really lose Chen Cang, it will be a good thing."
Master Sima still wanted to speak, but Sima Yi kicked him away and drove him out.
...
The autumn rain season in Chencang has passed, and now it is about to turn into winter. At this time, Zhuge Liang ordered all his troops. Wei Yan was still the vanguard, and Li Xian was in the center. He suppressed the rear army, and took charge of military affairs to march to Chencang.
"What a great Zhuge Liang, I didn't go to fight him, but he wanted to attack us instead. Do you think that the 150,000 troops in my city are vegetarians?" Zhang He snapped, "Le Lin, join me in ordering your troops and beheading him." Pioneer!"
Lelin cupped her hands and replied: "Take the order!"
The two men sent 20,000 troops to line up a formation at the foot of Chencang City. Zhang He stood in front of the formation and shouted loudly: "Wei Yan! Do you dare to fight in front of the formation?"
Naturally, Wei Yan also had a fiery temperament. He immediately stepped forward with his horse and sword in hand, and fought Zhang He until they reached a point. After about twenty rounds, Wei Yan gradually became weak. He feinted with his sword and then retreated into the formation, which made Wei Jun burst out laughing. , This kind of thing has destroyed a lot of the Shu army's spirit.
But Zhang He still laughed loudly and said, "Wei Yan, as skilled as you are, I'm afraid you're not as experienced as my nephew Le Lin."
When Wei Yan heard this, he was extremely embarrassed and immediately ordered: "Charge the formation! Kill Zhang He for me!" For a moment, all the vanguard soldiers came forward. Zhang He rushed left and right in the formation as if he was in a deserted place, and Le Lin did the same. , the two men really launched an overwhelming offensive, and they were invincible in the chaos. In addition, there were arrows raining down on Chencang City, so they had no choice but to withdraw their troops and temporarily retreated three miles to camp. At this moment, Chencang defenders and Zhang He's headquarters laughed loudly. laugh.
Zhang He immediately led his troops back to the city, laughing and saying, "Did my nephew kill me so happily today?"
Le Lin cupped her hands and said, "Of course it's a pleasure, but it's a pity that Wei Yan was not killed."
Zhang He pinched his beard and said: "It's okay, nephew. I'm sure Wei Yan will be dissatisfied after losing for a while. A surprise attack tonight is very possible. If we don't do this, we will definitely make it impossible for Wei Yan to come back."
Le Lin was overjoyed when she heard this. She cupped her hands and said, "I obey my command. Let me kill Wei Yan!"
It's night, at the foot of Chencang City.
Li Xianzhong's army had arrived, but saw that Wei Yan's camp was empty. After asking the sergeants, he learned about the defeat during the day, and took advantage of the night to sneak attack Zhang He.
"Tell me again, who is he going to sneak attack on?" Li Xian was stunned for a moment.
"General Wen Chang went to attack Zhang He secretly."
Li Xian was stunned for a moment. This guy even dared to attack Zhang He? Besides Fazheng, who can command a sneak attack in this man's military formation, who else can conduct a sneak attack? I was so panicked, but I immediately thought about the countermeasures and took out the map. It seemed that Wei Yan's camp was the safest location now. If Wei Yan was defeated, I would respond here and immediately ordered: "Camp here!"
"yes!"
