Chapter 579 The Three Armies Begin to Move

Tongguan, Kong Ming flicked the intelligence sent by the fast horse in his hand and said with a smile:

"This Ma Youchang, the farther he is from the front line, the more quick-witted he is.

Mi Zhu and Jian Yong have always used money to open the way to collect intelligence from the three places of Sizhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou.

But Kong Ming also knew the truth of Guan Zhong's saying "If you listen to it separately, you will be foolish, but if you listen to it together, you will be wise". This is just the right time to verify the three parties with Jian Yong and Mi Zhu's findings and the summary of the light curtain notes.

"Zhang He has always been a good general."

Lu Su was no stranger to this former opponent, and sighed:

"Ma Su was able to succeed, and Zhang He's resentment was just a side cause, but the distilled liquor was really strong. "

Several people present also agreed with this statement.

Opening the intelligence and seeing Ma Su's neat handwriting to summarize it, Kong Ming became more and more satisfied:

"This Ma Youchang can be used to offer advice, but not to make decisions. "

Pang Tong nodded vigorously:

"Kong Ming, you finally understand!"

Kong Ming was choked and wanted to hit Pang Shiyuan's head with his fan.

Lu Su changed the topic and said:

"Zhang He is a good general, why did Cao Cao ignore him?"

Fa Zheng, who was silently working and sorting out various intelligence, raised his head and briefly explained the matter:

"I asked... Later, Lord Xuande wrote to Cao Cao to discuss Zhang He's return to the east."

"What did he say?" Lu Su was immediately interested, and all kinds of speculations emerged in his mind.

"Lord Xuande said that Cao Cao only needed to build a temple and engrave a stele for the people who were slaughtered in Xuzhou, and kowtow, and then he would immediately let Zhang He return to the east and would never break his promise. "

Lu Su was stunned, but he felt that it was not surprising that Lord Xuande said such a thing when he was a knight-errant in his early years.

As for Cao Cao's reaction, he could guess that he probably thought that Lord Xuande was insulting him, so he simply stopped asking and left Zhang Junyi here.

Then Lu Su remembered something:

"I remember that in the 13th year of Jian'an, Lord Xuande lost two daughters in the chaos at Changbanpo, and General Yide lost his second son Zhang Shao..."

Fa Zheng said indifferently:

"I have proposed this, but Lord Xuande and General Yide both refused. "

Lu Su was silent.

On the other side, Pang Tong straightened the crown that was knocked crooked by Kong Ming and asked another question:

"Where is the lord?"

Kong Ming straightened the two crooked feathers on his feather fan and said unhappily:

"He went to Tongguan with Yide and Zhongmiao. "

After all, Tongguan is a great pass in the world. If it weren't for the military affairs, Kong Ming himself would have wanted to take a good look.

At the same moment, Liu Bei, standing on Tongguan, looked at the scenery of the Yellow River rushing eastward with two mountains on the left and right, and sighed:

"It is really a great pass. Even if there are 100,000 soldiers, it is difficult to break it. "

Zhang Fei said nothing beside him, but he looked eastward with a fighting spirit in his eyes.

Touching the rough bricks and stones, Liu Bei thought of a long list of names, such as Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi, An Lushan, Huang Chao...

Patting the rammed earth wall of Tongguan in front of him, Liu Bei wanted to say something with poetry like the Tang and Song dynasties, but he really didn't have this expertise. After holding it in for a long time, he finally sighed:

"How many things have happened here? "

Zhang Fei nodded vigorously on the side:

"Brother, what you said makes sense. If we want to revive the Han Dynasty, we must destroy Cao the thief. "

"Brother, let's do it! "

The little bit of inspiration that Liu Bei had managed to come up with was ruthlessly cut off. He was a little furious and felt that it was a mistake not to call Kong Ming to come up with him!

When he turned around, he saw the excited look on his brother's face. He could even see that the Tongguan defender Huo Jun was also full of expectations, and he obviously wanted to fight.

This is understandable. After all, the main force of Cao's army has been fighting with Yun Chang in Jingbei for almost the past year, and Huo Jun was defending the pass in vain.

The Cao army closest to Tongguan was also in Shan County, 200 miles away, and it was also in a defensive posture. attitude, which made this battlefield here have nothing to do for the past year, almost like being in prison.

Now that they are finally going east, how can Huo Jun not be excited?

However, for Liu Bei, his brother's instigation only needs to go in one ear and out the other. After all, this battle is a multi-pronged advance, and the time has been agreed upon long ago, so how can it be changed at will?

That is why the days in Tongguan are like years for Zhang Fei.

In this state, he can only devote all his energy to training soldiers, whether it is the newly joined Zhang Ji or the people who followed many Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were all trained by Zhang Fei to the point of crying for their parents, which added a lot of vitality to Tongguan.

However, Zhang Fei also found that since entering Tongguan, the oil lamps in the room where the four military advisors were located had never been extinguished at night.

As time passed, May finally came to an end.

On the last day of this month, a simple altar was built under Tongguan. Liu Bei wore a general's uniform with a seal and went on stage with a solemn look.

It sounds complicated to worship ancestors, but in summary, it is nothing more than telling the ancestors about recent events. Let's talk about the next plan, and finally summarize it in the form of a manifesto to keep it on file, in order to seek the blessing of the ancestors.

This manifesto was written by Kong Ming and polished by Pang Tong, and finally it was spread everywhere by fast horses after the worship.

With the release of the manifesto, the matter of attacking Cao was also a foregone conclusion, and there was no possibility of change.

The next day, the time officially entered June.

As the golden crow scraped a layer of fish belly white in the eastern sky, all parties began to move.

Hanzhong

Wu Yi stood on the platform that was said to be built by General Zhang Yide, and his words were unusually concise:

"March!"

After pacifying Yunnan, Wu Yi returned with more than 8,000 elite soldiers who had fought in Nanzhong and suppressed rebellions, and also took away more than 10,000 barbarian soldiers gathered from various tribes in Nanzhong.

The governance of Nanzhong was handed over to Li Hui as Xuande said, and Sima Yi, who made him uncomfortable to get along with, was also handed over to Li Hui.

The more than 10,000 barbarian soldiers were divided into two groups, led by Meng Huo and Wang Ping respectively, while Wu Yi himself commanded the entire army and directly controlled 8,000 Han people.

After leading his troops out of the dense forests of Nanzhong, he headed north all the way. After arriving in Hanzhong half a year ago, he rested and recuperated until here. Now it is finally the day of the agreed march.

Teams of soldiers boarded the flat-bottomed wide boats specially built for transporting troops on the Han River. What they have to do next is to go down the Han River and rush to Jingbei to assist General Yunchang!

Right Fengyi, Linjin

Ma Chao once again put on the exaggeratedly gorgeous armor, riding on a tall horse, and the whole person looked extraordinary and heroic.

Although he failed to win the position of vanguard, he was not dissatisfied with the independent leadership of the attack on Hedong.

Ma Zhongxian told him clearly that Hedong had always been dissatisfied with Cao Cao and was the hometown of General Guan. Hedong could be conquered without a fight by advancing from Youfengyi with the reputation of Lord Xuande.

Next, as long as Shangdang was recovered and Huguan, Shexian and Luxian in Taihang Mountain were penetrated, Yecheng would be within sight. Ma Zhongxian said that Hedong Road was the best place to achieve extraordinary achievements, and he agreed with him.

"Cao thief, your grandfather Ma is here!"

Ma Chao drew his sword and pointed east to indicate that the army was going to march, and at the same time added in his heart:

Daddy, Ma Chao is here!
