The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 572 Volunteering
"Maybe it's because Li Yuan drank too much, so he just chose someone to be the commander-in-chief of the armed forces." Zhang Fei said indifferently, and Guan Yu didn't worry too much about it. For him, as long as Li Yuan didn't come in person, It's the same for anyone, not enough for him to pay attention.

Zhuge Liang shook his head helplessly. Guan Yu is proud and Zhang Fei is reckless. The advantages and disadvantages of these two people are equally obvious, but their shortcomings are often fatal. Fortunately, Liu Bei appointed him as the coach, otherwise Guan Yu would be the master. More bad luck than good luck.At this moment, a soldier came in from the outside and said, "Report to the military division, the enemy army has already started to move."

Zhuge Liang quickly asked, "Have they started attacking the city?"

"They haven't attacked the city yet, they are heading north."

"Going to the north, they must want to attack Chang'an." Zhuge Liang knew Lu Xun's intention almost without thinking. Insufficient, may not be able to withstand the enemy's attack."

Zhong Yao frowned tightly. He knew that what Zhuge Liang said was not unreasonable, but he felt that the enemy's actions were too obvious. If it was him, he would definitely act while it was dark, otherwise he would be seen. He doubted: "Mr. Kong Ming, Based on your wisdom, would this be the enemy's trick to lure snakes out of their holes?"

"I also ask Prefect Zhong to give me advice." Zhuge Liang said puzzled.

"Chang'an is very important to me. At this time, there are not many troops in Chang'an. If I were the enemy's general, I would definitely take the opportunity to attack Chang'an instead of fighting openly, because doing so would definitely attract our army's rescue. So I predict that Lu Xun's goal is not Chang'an, but me, he will definitely have an ambush on the way, if I return to Chang'an, I will definitely fall into the trap, so I can't leave." Zhong Yao expressed his opinion.

"It turns out that what Zhong Taishou said is not unreasonable," Zhuge Liang suddenly realized, thinking that he had underestimated Zhong Yao. In fact, he wanted Zhong Yao to leave Hanzhong quickly, so he just said that, and he continued to persuade, "Zhong Taishou , I don’t need to say more about the importance of Chang’an, although what you said is reasonable, but don’t forget that there is still an enemy behind you.”

"You mean Ma Teng in Xiliang?!" Zhong Yao broke out in a cold sweat, only then did he remember that Ma Teng was still there, because there was no movement in Xiliang during this period, so he almost forgot about this enemy.

"That's right, it's Ma Teng from Xiliang. Ma Teng has already joined hands with Li Yuan. If I'm not wrong, Li Yuan must have sent someone to Wuwei to invite Ma Teng to send troops a few months ago. Once Ma Teng makes a move, he will definitely attack Chang'an. Because compared with Chang'an in Yizhou, it is more favorable for his Xiliang iron cavalry to attack, if Chang'an is not secured, Ma Teng's army will be able to approach Tongguan and Luoyang, and when the time comes, it will be in a pinch with Li Yuan's army, and General Cao may be in danger." Zhuge Liang pointed out the key point, which made Zhong Yao have to think more.

Zhong Yao paced back and forth, hesitating, he knew that what Zhuge Liang said was right, even if he didn't guard against Lu Xun, he still had to guard against Ma Teng, but he felt that this was obviously the enemy's conspiracy, if he went out of the city, he would fall into ambush, but if he didn't return The teacher's safety will be lost, making him feel difficult to make a choice, a dilemma.

Seeing that Zhong Yao was hesitating, Zhang Fei was even more anxious than Zhong Yao, and said, "Prefect Zhong, why are you still hesitating? Chang'an is so important, so of course you have to go back. What if you don't go back and the enemy takes you down?"

Zhong Yao sighed and said, "I understand General Zhang's words, but I'm afraid I will be ambushed by the enemy before I return to Chang'an, and I will lose my life when the time comes, let alone go back."

"It's just an ambush. There's nothing to be afraid of. I, Lao Zhang, will accompany you for a walk, and I will ensure that you can return to Chang'an safely!" Zhang Fei assured, patting his chest.Seeing this, Zhuge Liang wanted to run over to give Zhang Fei a slap, but Zhong Yao didn't beg you, why are you so active? He kept winking at Zhang Fei, but Zhang Fei didn't know what Zhuge Liang was doing, and asked, " What's wrong with your eyes, military commander, are you uncomfortable?"

"Yes, my eyes feel a little uncomfortable..." Zhuge Liang rubbed his eyes with his hands.

"Thank you General Zhang for escorting!" Zhong Yao hurriedly clasped his fists in gratitude.

"You're welcome, we've formed an alliance, it's only natural for me to help you if you're in trouble." Zhang Fei said arrogantly, telling Zhong Yao not to be polite.Zhuge Liang was so angry that he couldn't speak, it wasn't about Zhang Fei's business at first, but now it's all right, Zhang Fei wants to escort Zhong Yao, so even he has to worry more, because he knows that this time he will return to Chang'an and he will be punished. ambush.

Zhuge Liang had no choice but to say: "Yide, since you are going to escort Prefect Zhong, you must be careful along the way, don't be careless, discuss everything with Prefect Zhong, and come back as soon as you arrive in Chang'an."

"It's a military advisor!" Zhang Fei cupped his fists and said.

"It's not too late, let's set off now." After Zhong Yao said goodbye to Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, he took Zhang Fei and left together, returning to Chang'an.

Guan Yu watched the two leave and was a little worried. He was not worried about Zhong Yao, but Zhang Fei, and said, "Military Master, I think they will be ambushed by the enemy during this trip. Let's go together, isn't this hurting him?"

Zhuge Liang said angrily: "Do you think I want him to go? Just now he took the initiative to escort Zhong Yao. If I stop Zhong Yao, I will definitely have a grudge. Although we are allied with Cao Cao, we are not of the same heart, so Zhong Yao has a heart." To compete for Hanzhong, in fact, he should have returned to Chang'an long ago, and the reason why he didn't go back is because he didn't want to hand over Hanzhong to us."

"In this case, let him stay. Now that the enemy is facing us, we have more troops than him. Even if he is dissatisfied, I don't believe he can play tricks." Guan Yu didn't take Zhong Yao seriously. Inside.

"Having said that, it is still not conducive to our control of Hanzhong if he stays. Hanzhong is a very important city. Our occupation of Hanzhong will greatly help the lord to fight for hegemony in the future, so I didn't persuade General Zhang just now." Zhuge Liang knew Zhang Flying this trip will be dangerous, but there is no way to let Zhang Fei take risks in order to win Hanzhong.

Guan Yu suggested: "Why don't we send another [-] soldiers and horses to Yide to use, lest he make mistakes on the road."

"No," Zhuge Liang refused without hesitation, "Now Lu Xun has no less than 7 troops under his command, which is a large number. If I divide the troops into General Zhang's soldiers to defend the city, it will not be enough, so I can't take risks. Although General Zhang This trip is dangerous, but he is highly skilled in martial arts, even if he is ambushed, I believe he can escape successfully."

"It is indeed easy to break through with Yide's martial arts, but Zhong Yao is not necessarily." Guan Yu knows Zhang Fei's martial arts very well.
