Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 781

There is a saying: You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.

For Liu Xie, who is looking up at the Yangpingguan Wall between the dangerous rocks and cliffs, this sentence can also be said: You will never be able to lure an enemy general who is determined to kill him and not fight.

When the war progressed to Yangping Pass, the Han army really had nowhere to bite the hedgehog.After the main force of the army arrived here, Liu Xie realized how interesting Comrade Zhao Wei is: This man really has two extreme sides of his personality.When you are high-spirited, bold words are nothing to worry about; but after the morale is taken away, people can shrink their heads for a lifetime with a sudden change, and they can't be shaken.

These days, Liu Xie thought about letting other famous generals of the Han Dynasty bait Zhao Wei, and he also used them as bait himself.He even thought about whether to transfer Ma Chao back from Liangzhou to see if it would be the same as Romance, so scared that Liu Zhang handed over Yizhou directly.

But after thinking about it with his brain, Liu Xie knew that he was too stupid and naive: history is history, and romances belong to romances. People who regard romances as history are not qualified to travel through.

In history, when Liu Bei attacked Shuchuan, how could he be so upright and reluctant?The real history is that Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei to resist Zhang Lu, and when Liu Bei entered Jiameng Pass, he asked Liu Zhang for money and food.Comrade Liu Zhang was also stingy and worried, so he gave Liu Bei some rice bran.As a result, Comrade Liu Bei was furious, and immediately turned around and beat Liu Zhang.

From the beginning to the end, Ma Chao never appeared in Shuchuan, nor did he fight Zhang Fei.It is said in the Romance that Liu Zhang was so frightened by Ma Chao that his legs became limp, which is even more unfounded-Ma Chao took refuge with Liu Bei after Liu Bei broke through Chengdu.

And when Liu Bei turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, Liu Zhang of course chose the most normal resistance, and he actively organized an army to fight back.Even Liu Zhang's general Fu Jin, Shang Cun and others led more than ten thousand soldiers up the Jialing River to attack Jiameng, besieging Jiameng for nearly a year.

Judging from this time of year, the process of Liu Bei's capture of Yizhou was also arduous.

With Liu Bei, the old driver's wheel in front, it seems that if the Han army wants to break through the Yangping Pass in front of them, they have to use the oldest and most effective method: a strong attack.

However, after Liu Xiesi thought about it, he was still unwilling to use his soldiers to storm Yangping Pass.The most common saying on the battlefield is "thousands of difficulties, the most difficult to siege a city." This Yangping Pass has a favorable location, which is not much worse than a fortified city.Moreover, the road to Shu is difficult, and some powerful siege equipment cannot be used. If it is really a strong attack, it will basically be filled with human lives.

In the early stage of the Three Kingdoms, it was about who can kill and who is the hero, but in the later stage, it is who can live who is the boss.This point is rarely realized by the indigenous people of the Three Kingdoms.Even if they are aware of it, they continue to kill under the pressure of the situation.But now that Liu Xie is in charge, he naturally wants to avoid hurting his life as much as possible.After all, judging from the income ratio, exchanging the lives of thousands of soldiers for a Yangping Pass is too much of a loss.

If you can't exchange human life for time, then you can only exchange human life with time.In response to Comrade Zhao Wei's firmness and unyielding, Liu Xie had no choice but to order his soldiers to actively cut down trees and build some simple catapults and siege vehicles.At the same time, sentry scouts were ordered to contact the local people in secret to find out if there were still unknown trails at Yangping Pass.

Then, before the trail was explored, but after the catapult was built, Liu Xie organized the army to carry out a tentative attack.

Looking up at the towering juncture, Liu Xie couldn't help feeling dizzy.Interestingly, he found that this time the Han army was attacking key points, but there was no sign of Zhao Wei on the top of Yangping Pass.

This discovery surprised Liu Xie. He called Sima Yi over, handed the binoculars to Sima Yi and asked, "Have you noticed anything?"

Sima Yi put down the binoculars, but looked again uncertainly, and after repeating several times, he said doubtfully, "Is Zhao Wei afraid?"

At this time, Liu Xie took back the binoculars, and carefully scanned the closed wall that he had seen earlier, and after confirming that he did not find Zhao Wei, he said, "It seems that Wei Yan was really scared. It's just that those Dongzhou soldiers are filled with righteous indignation, and they don't seem to be afraid of being beaten..."

"Could it be that Zhao Wei is the only one who is a coward?" Gao Shun, who was also puzzled, also opened his mouth at this time. There have been such people, and their aptitude and ability are not bad. It's a pity that they were born in a noble and wealthy family, and once they were defeated by others in the army, they became depressed and completely depressed."

"You mean, this Zhao Wei has been sitting here in Shuchuan for too long, and he has been so pampered that he has become a flower in the greenhouse?" After saying these words, Liu Xie's expression became interesting. up.At first he was puzzled, then thought about it seriously, and then nodded in agreement.

The reason why Liu Xie ignores this kind of extremely poor psychological tolerance is first of all because he does not belong to this rank. Naturally, it is difficult to think of this aspect.Another reason is that the common problem in this era is the major issue of life and death. Just like those big soldiers on the wall, if you can hold it, you will eat meat and have a happy day; Is a good guy.

It's not that these people have big hearts, or that they don't have such a rough character, they simply can't gain a foothold in this troubled world.

But Zhao Wei's situation is indeed a bit different. His life trajectory and environment are really easy to breed problems of poor psychological endurance.

The first is Zhao Wei's background. Although he is not from a great family, since he was able to become the Guanghan Order in the late Han Dynasty, when family status was important, we know that his background is definitely not bad.After he decided to follow Liu Yan, he soared into the sky, and in this place in the middle of Sichuan, there are almost one person under ten thousand, and the scenery is limitless.

But such a son of the noble family who had hardly suffered any losses, still let go of his rhetoric before leaving.Thinking that in the ten thousand horse army, among countless armored soldiers, they chatted and laughed casually in their feathers and towels, and waved their fingers at Dongzhou at will, while the enemy army ran wild and broke into an army, and they won fame easily.How happy life is so far!

However, what is the reality? The reality is that Wei Yan, a not-so-famous general of the Han Dynasty, gave him a slap in the face when he came up... Thinking about it this way, Liu Xie feels that Zhao Wei's mood at this time It must be very depressing and uncomfortable.

Now that he had this idea, Liu Xie couldn't help but slyly curved his mouth: "Command, collect all the stones around, from this time to night, throwing stones. Besides, the army beat drums and shouted, but they didn't Actual attack."

After giving this order, Liu Xie was in no mood to stay in the gate like a fool.It's just that when he drove the horse slowly to Wenpin's side, he just heard Wenpin order: "Calibrate, throw!"

Under the yelling of the Han soldiers, hundreds of stones roared into the air, drawing beautiful arcs.The dense stones, in the eyes of the Dongzhou soldiers who closed the gate, seemed like a meteorite rain suddenly fell from the world, hitting the top of the city wall heavily, splashing clouds of sand and stone smoke.

Liu Xie took a curious look through the binoculars, and saw that among the smoke, the Dongzhou soldiers shrunk their necks one by one, panicked and uneasy.At this moment, Liu Xiecai felt relieved, and said to Wenpin: "Persist on this day and don't stop. If there are stones and stones, it is fine to smash the stakes up. I only want a great momentum, not practical effects." .”

Wen Pin comprehended, and immediately cupped his fists and said: "For a soldier who is heavy and gentle, attacking the heart is the most important thing. Your Majesty's wonderful plan will eventually be known."

The whole day, the Han army passed through the sound of rumbling stones, although there was loud thunder and little rain.But after gradually smashing the doorway, Liu Xie even heard the feeling: Whenever he felt that it was time to shoot, but there was no sound, he felt uncomfortable all over his body.

After nightfall, the noise of the whole day finally came to an end.However, in the middle of the night, Liu Xie turned over again, and said to Xu Huang who was standing in his tent in a daze: "You know what to do, and I won't get involved. "

That night, the Han army suddenly raised fire and clamored again. Tens of thousands of torches turned off the soldiers in shock, and it felt like the sky and the earth had fallen apart.Liu Xie was awakened again by the shouts of killing, and covered his ears complainingly, and murmured, "I hope that Comrade Zhao Wei won't be scared enough to pee his pants..."

Early the next morning, Liu Xie woke up and saw a bright sun outside the tent.When he was stretching and getting ready to wash, Xu Huang excitedly ran up to Liu Xie with dark circles under his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Wei was really scared away, Yangping Pass is empty now!"

Liu Xie was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed: It is God's favor to meet this kind of opponent!
However, just as Liu Xie was about to wave his troops into Yangping Pass, a rider in brocade clothes suddenly galloped up with an extremely serious expression on his face.Liu Xie was startled immediately, after receiving the secret letter, his face suddenly changed, and he was so shocked that he let the secret letter fall on the ground...
