Four or five miles outside Sheshan Mountain, a stream passes through the forest. The trees are lush and the road is rugged.
There was a faint cry of wild crows, and it sounded like a high ape roaring.
At this moment, in this mountain forest, there is a group of people hiding in darkness. They are either leaning on the trees or lying on the ground.
"Sir, we can't hesitate any longer. The sentinel knows that Lao Ge's son A Dou has camped in Sheshan. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
The speaker was wearing gray-brown armor. He was tall and strong, holding a long spear. He looked powerful, especially with his slightly ferocious face. You could tell at a glance that he was not an easy person to get along with.
"This...this matter should be considered in the long run."
Zhang Yu, who was wearing a Confucian robe and a Jinxian crown, had an awkward smile on his face.
He was over fifty years old, and his hair and beard were all gray, and his face also bore traces of time, with wrinkles all over it.
"Long-term plan?"
The wealthy and powerful man pulled out the ring-headed sword from his waist.
"Sir, could it be that you have changed your mind?"
He was Tan Wei, a wealthy family in Shu County. During the period of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, he had thousands of child servants, tens of thousands of fields, manors and mountains, and countless money and silk. However, after Liu Bei came, he was liquidated by Liu Bei because of the issue of his side. , his family was in decline, and although he could still be called a powerful man, it was no longer the same as his original family situation.
Therefore, Tan Wei had deep resentment towards Liu Bei.
In addition, Liu Bei's occupation of the Liang-Shu territory had long worried Cao Mengde, and the spies under his command also entered Shu with the Shu caravan to spread the news.
The news spread by Cao Wei was naturally detrimental to Liu Bei.
Especially now that the two armies of Han and China are confronting each other.
"How could I change my mind?"
Zhang Yu looked at Tan Wei with a guilty conscience, and was afraid that this person would jump over the wall in a hurry, so he hurriedly said: "I think the weather tonight is not good, so it is not the best time to deal with Liu Chan. There may be an ambush, so we should come back another day."
Zhang Yu is well-known for using the changes in celestial phenomena to influence people's affairs and predict good and bad luck. As soon as he said these words, even Tan Wei had a look of hesitation on his face.
"Are you scared, sir?"
But the anger in his heart still outweighed the fear, and Changyu's current expression did not look like he was making a serious prophecy.
Tan Wei was worried. He held the Huanshou knife across his chest and pointed the blade at Chang Yu. The threat was self-evident.
"News has come from the Central Plains. Cao Cao and Sun Quan have formed an alliance. Yu Jinqin has led an army to Wancheng. Jingzhou is about to be lost. The prime minister has arrived in Chang'an to gather the power of the nine states to attack the big-eared bandits. These traitors will surely Soon, if we can use the life of Liu Bei's son as a gift, and present it to the prime minister at that time, without losing the title of feudal prince, sir, I will not miss out on my talents under this generation, and I will not be able to stretch my talents, what do you think?"
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "Although I am dissatisfied with Liu Xuande's rule of Shu, today's actions are too hasty, and Liu Bei has not yet been defeated. Chengdu has Fengchu Pang Tong sitting in charge, almost as stable as Mount Tai. We have captured Liu Chan alive, so what can we do?" ?Aren’t you asking for death?”
Tan Wei's face turned black, and the gleaming blade of the ring-shou knife was getting closer and closer to Chang Yu's neck.
"If sir refuses to cooperate, can you try the knife in my hand?"
Gulu~
Zhang Yu felt his throat was dry and swallowed unconsciously.
"Hold on, how can I not cooperate?"
Changyu regrets it now!
Very regretful!
He was just dissatisfied with Liu Bei, and used prophecy as an excuse to say something unfavorable to Liu Bei to make Liu Bei unhappy, and at the same time to vent his dissatisfaction.
But he is just dissatisfied!
His understanding of the situation was much better than that of the powerful Tan Wei in front of him.
Liu Bei's current power is indeed inferior to that of Cao Cao, but Liang Shu has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times. It may be difficult to dominate the world, but it does not seem to be difficult for a hero like Liu Bei to stay in a corner.
Now he was encouraged by Tan Wei to attack and kill Liu Chan. For Liu Bei, it was a perfect excuse to kill him.
But the matter has come to this, what can be done?
I hope that the news Tan Wei got is true, and the situation may be able to turn around by then.
If not, then death is the worst possible outcome.
His thoughts became clearer, and Chang Yu became much calmer.
"I heard that Young Master Liu Chan has a reputation as a virtuous man, and all of his young master's soldiers are brave. The young master's soldiers he brought out of Chengdu this time numbered three hundred. If you don't have a thousand, you can't make an enemy of him."
Zhang Yu looked at the dark crowd of servants behind Tan Wei. Less than half of these servants were wearing armor, and the rest without armor also had weapons in their hands. They were all young and middle-aged. Although they were not elites, they still had certain abilities. of combat power.
The so-called Xiangyong in ancient times were such people.
Clang!
Tan Wei put the ring-headed sword in his hand into the scabbard. He laughed, his expression completely different from the serious and bloodthirsty look before.
"Sir, don't worry. I have more than 1,200 men under my command, and all of them have seen blood. They are not new soldiers. They are more than enough to deal with the three hundred so-called Prince's personal soldiers."
Zhang Yu nodded lightly.
"If this is the case, there is still a chance to capture Liu Chan within an hour, and then escape far away, and then hook up with the knowledgeable people in Guanghan County of Shu County to stir up a stir and distract Liu Xuande's energy, waiting for the Prime Minister of Hanzhong to win a big victory , the situation is promising.”
The pictures Zhang Yu showed to Tan Wei were very agreeable to him.
"In that case, what are you waiting for? Capture the thief alive!"
With that said, Tan Wei jumped on the horse.
"My sons, follow me to capture Liu Chan alive!"
With that said, a group of people headed towards Sheshan in a hurry.
It was already late at night.
The moon is thin and the lights are still flickering in the Sheshan camp. In the big tent of the camp, the burning firewood brings out the smell of burnt wood and a faint smell of meat. It is accompanied by green smoke. Liu Chan is holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand. , reading carefully.
It is "Sun Tzu's Art of War".
Guan Xing's clothes were still on, and he was lying next to Liu Chan with a relaxed expression.
Zhang Bao, on the other hand, was pacing back and forth in the big tent.
"Brother Bao, you walked around and made everyone faint."
Seeing Zhang Bao like this, Guan Xing couldn't help but laugh.
"Young Master, can you endure it? You, as a general, can also endure it? What if someone attacks the camp? Just assume there is someone out there to keep watch."
Guan Xing smiled confidently and said: "Brother Bao, there is no need to worry. Naturally, the sentry guard will not be relaxed for a moment. The soldiers outside also know that it is not peaceful tonight, so they will not take off their armor even if they rest. Moreover, there are secret sentries outside the stronghold. If there is any disturbance, , I will know it as soon as possible.”
Liu Chan also put down the bamboo slips in his hand.
"It's normal for General Zhang Bao to feel anxious, but we have already established a stronghold. Even if thousands of people come to attack, we can still defend it, so there is no need to worry."
"Report!"
While everyone was talking, the sound of soldiers reporting came from outside the tent.
"Come in."
The soldiers quickly entered the tent with a panting scout.
"Sir, we found enemy traces one mile away from the camp. There are no flags, but a dark group of at least a thousand people."
coming!
Liu Chan nodded and stood up slowly. Guan Xing no longer looked as relaxed and lazy as before, but stood tall and straight like a green pine, like a sword about to be unsheathed, its edge about to emerge.
Zhang Bao clenched the Huanshou knife at his waist, looking quite nervous.
"This time, I'm afraid the enemy will be only a few hundred steps away from us."
Liu Chan was not panicked.
"General Guan Xing, go and send the signal to the sky. General Zhang Bao, the soldiers outside the camp will be led by you. You must hold the camp for an hour."
An hour?
There was a slight sweat on Zhang Bao's forehead, but he accepted the order without hesitation.
"Don't worry, young master, we are here in the stronghold. If the thieves want to enter the stronghold, they have to step over my body, Zhang Bao!"
After saying that, he walked out of the tent without looking back.
After conveying the order, Liu Chan sat back down, picked up the bamboo slips on the slips, and continued to read under the dim light.
Outside the camp, shouts of killing have begun!
