Chapter 27 Zhuge Liang Burns the Canyon

From Shangyong, the passage from the west city to the middle of Shu has been opened. However, Li Qi used troops without authorization, and Cao Cao probably would not let him go. Since the two cities are empty, Zhang Lu and Liu Biao may attack from different directions at any time. This

When Li Qi's army was outnumbered, it was very difficult to defend.

Therefore, Li Qi decided to abandon Shangyong and Xicheng, move everything that could be moved into Brazil, and set up more sentries and passes in Daba Mountain to prevent enemies from the east from entering.

When Zhuge Liang received the notice, he immediately ordered Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to escort the grain and grass into Shu.

On the other hand, he had to inform the wealthy man named Wang Li to go with him.

Wang Li used to raise money and food for Li Qi in the past, and also ran Shu Brocade in partnership. He was Li Qi's good partner on the road to making money.

Because of this, Wang Li often offended local forces. Among other things, the money Li Qi borrowed has not been repaid. Of course, Li Qi also asked Zhuge Liang to send a notice to the creditors in the city, saying that the money he borrowed before was not repaid.

The money will definitely be repaid, but he didn't say when. If Li Qi just slapped his ass and walked away, then Wang Li would have no life left in Xicheng.

Therefore, Wang Li packed up his belongings overnight and ordered his servants to escort the grain and grass to join Zhuge Liang's team and move together to Langzhong, Brazil.

When they arrived at Ziyang, Pei Yuanshao told Wang Li that Daba Mountain was not far ahead and it was difficult for carriages to pass. You'd better get down and walk.

Wang Li, who had grown up with a big belly in recent years, brought the old and the young with him. After walking a few miles, he would ask how far it was, and Pei Yuanshao always replied: "It's not far!"

When they reached the foot of Daba Mountain, Wang Li asked again: "Is it possible to get there just by climbing over this mountain?"

Pei Yuanshao replied: "Well, as long as we cross this mountain and travel a few hundred miles, we can take a rest in Bazhong."

After Wang Li heard this, he sat down on the ground.

Pei Yuanshao said: "I heard that tigers appear in Daba Mountain at night. If you don't leave, you can stay here and give the tigers extra food."

Wang Li quickly got up, patted his butt and continued on his way.

After finally crossing Daba Mountain, before they had time to rest, a horse scout from the front came to report that Pang Xi ordered Yang Huai and Gao Pei to be the vanguard and were returning to attack Langzhong. If they were marching at the current speed, they would probably encounter them on the way.

Zhuge Liang said: "When Pang Xi returns to his army, Liu Zhang will definitely send people to attack Langzhong. They will attack Langzhong twice, fearing that Langzhong will not be easy to hold on to."

When Wang Li heard this: "Then let's go back to Xicheng."

Zhuge Liang's hand shaking the feather fan suddenly stopped, and then said: "Fork out!"

Ben Liang is here to discuss a major military issue. How can you, a small businessman, have any say?

Liao Hua asked: "If the military advisor has a good plan, we can send him as he pleases."

Zhuge Liang said: "The biggest problem in Shu is not that there are no people, but that there is no food. Now that I encountered Yang and Gao, I happened to use food and grass as bait to cut off this wing for my lord. Zhang San obeys the order."

Zhang San stood out suddenly: "Here."

Zhuge Liang said: "You are riding to Langzhong and spreading rumors along the way, saying that Li Qi's food and baggage is migrating from Daba Mountain to Langzhong."

Zhang San was stunned for a moment: "Military advisor, isn't this a rumor?"

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was holding a feather fan. If it were a sword or other weapon, I really wanted to hit him on the head.

It seems that military discipline needs to be rectified.

Zhang San saw the sudden change in Zhuge Liang's expression and quickly ordered him to come out.

Zhuge Liang said again: "Pei Yuanshao listens to the order."

Pei Yuanshao: "The final general is here."

Zhuge Liang said: "You lead three thousand troops and horses to retreat into the valley, and prepare plenty of fire starters. When the troops of General Yang and Gao all enter the valley, you will set them on fire and then block their return."

Pei Yuanshao: "Get the order."

Zhuge Liang: "Liao Hua obeys the order."

Liao Hua: "The end will be here."

Zhuge Liang: "You lead a thousand troops and horses to attack Yang Huai and Gao Pei. You can only allow defeat, not victory. You must lead them into the canyon."

Liao Hua: "Get the order."

Zhuge Liang led a thousand soldiers to take control of Tongjiang County.

However, it was said that two generals, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, led their troops back to the division, but due to lack of food and grass, many of the soldiers fled.

They wanted to harvest farmers' wheat fields, but found that most of the farmland along the way was abandoned.

When I was depressed, I suddenly heard that Li Qi's backup troops were marching towards Langzhong escorting grain and grass baggage, and had now reached the boundary of Tongjiang River.

Yang Huai asked: "Who did the enemy army order to escort the grain and grass? How many troops and horses are there?"

The spy said: "The general's name is Zhuge Liang, and he has about three to four thousand troops."

Yang Huai was overjoyed and said to Gao Peidao: "Zhuge Liang, I've never heard of it. Have you heard of it?"

Gao Pei shook his head: "I haven't heard of it either."

Yang Huaidao said: "Li Qi's troops are not many to begin with. They must have been all the best when they entered Shu. Now there are only three to four thousand people escorting the grain and grass, which will just relieve our difficulties."

Gao Pei said: "That's right! Not only can it relieve the problem of food shortage, but it can also cut off the enemy's food and grass. When General Pang and Chengdu's reinforcements besiege Langzhong, they will be trapped to death."

The two agreed upon the plan and led their troops to find Zhuge Liang's grain transport team.

On the official road dozens of miles away in the mountains and forests, they happened to meet Liao Hua's troops.

Yang Huaidao: "This must be the advance unit of the grain team, used to explore the road."

Gao Pei said: "Watch me capture this general! Drive!"

Liao Hua swung his sword and exchanged blows with Gao Pei for a few seconds. Then he patted his horse and returned, telling the sergeant to retreat.

Gao Pei laughed: "How dare you escort grain and grass at this level?"

Yang Huaidao: "Don't let him go back to report the news, chase him!"

The soldiers under Yang and Gao could only eat one meal of gruel a day. They were already exhausted after the long journey, but thinking that there might be food ahead, they all gritted their teeth and pursued them. Even so, if Liao Hua hadn't deliberately slowed down and waited for a while.

Wait, I'm really afraid that they won't be able to catch up.

It was not until the canyon that Liao Hua led the army to move forward at full speed, leaving Yang and Gao's troops behind in the canyon.

It was getting late at this time, and Yang and Gao were still walking forward in the dark.

What makes them so desperate?

Is it Zhongyong?

Is it because IQ is in arrears?

No,

It's hunger.

Pei Yuanshao, who had been waiting at the top of the valley for a long time, saw that the time was ripe and ordered to set off rockets and throw grain and grass.

As Yang and Gao were walking, they suddenly saw the sky light up and thousands of beams of fire covering the ground.

"No, we've fallen into a trap!" Yang Huai and Gao Pei shouted as they retreated. The Shu army was already in chaos.

After Pei Yuanshao threw all the flammable objects down the valley, he went down the mountain along the road and waited at the pass.

When Yang and Gao lost their troops and fled in embarrassment, Pei Yuanshao covered up his troops to attack and kill them, and Liao Hua also came back to kill them again. The Shu soldiers were in a dilemma, and they fought until dawn.

Gao Pei had died in the rebellion. When Yang Huai led hundreds of people to escape from the canyon, they met Zhuge Liang, who was calm and composed, waiting at the pass while waving his feather fan.

Zhuge Liang said: "Are you willing to surrender?"

Yang Huai: "I fell into a treacherous plot by mistake, and I'm just going to die."

Zhuge Liang pitied Yang Huai for his loyalty and originally wanted to conquer him, but now was not the time to waste time. He refused to surrender despite repeated persuasion, so he had no choice but to kill him.

Afterwards, Zhuge Liang organized his troops and horses and headed towards Langzhong.

At that time, Zhang Song's Qingqi had arrived at Langzhong City and said he wanted to meet Li Qi.

Li Fudao: "Zhang Song is a person close to Liu Zhang. He is proud of his talent and has not been reused. Today we are here and let's see what he has to say."
