Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 926

"stop!"

Ma Tong was afraid that Zhang Lu would change his mind, so he sent someone to rob and kill him, and led more than 200 Jingzhou soldiers desperately back on the road. After walking for three days, he was about to leave Zhang Lu's territory in Hanzhong. A bandit soldier was killed and blocked their way.

Ma Tong looked up, good guy, there were five to six hundred people, although they were dressed as bandits, but judging from the orderliness of their formation and the weapons in their hands, they could be seen as bandit soldiers disguised as officers and soldiers.

Ma Tong had a delicate mind and immediately guessed that this was the army sent by Zhang Lu.

"What are you going to do?"

Ma Tong opened his mouth and asked.

All the men and horses led by Yang Gao covered their faces with black cloths. Yang Gao shouted: "I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, you should save money to buy roads. If you dare to say no, Go forward and grab your head, die in the wilderness, don't care about killing or burying!"

Ma Tong was furious, pointed at Yang Gao and said angrily, "You Zhang Lu, it's fine if you don't send troops to help, but you dare to ambush here, do you really think that I, Da Chu, is easy to bully?"

"Hehe, what are you talking about there, hurry up and leave the money, otherwise Grandpa's knife will not have eyes, and be careful to let your head fall to the ground, and you will die!"

Yang Song pretended not to understand what Ma Tong was saying, pointed at Ma Tong and shouted.

"Bad and brazen!"

Ma Tong was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, pointing at Yang Gao and yelling.

"It seems that you want money rather than life!"

Yang Gao originally thought that Ma Tong would leave money because of his large number of people, but he didn't expect Ma Tong to be so ignorant.

Ma Tong knew that today he could not escape this catastrophe. He had no face to meet Liu Bei when he failed to seek help from Zhang Lu. If he lost the gold and silver treasures he brought, what face would he have to live on World.

"Brothers, kill them and rob them of their money!"

With a roar, Yang Gao rushed down the mountain with his soldiers and horses to snatch property.

Ma Tong yelled: "Today, only one dies. For the King of Chu and the soldiers, let's fight them!"

Ma Tong, a scholar, even drew his sword and led the Jingzhou army to fight Yang Gao.

But Yang Gao brought more than twice as many troops as the Jingzhou army, and the Jingzhou army was already exhausted after traveling day and night. Where was the opponent of the Hanzhong army, they were killed in an instant and fell apart.

Seeing that the situation was over, Ma Tong put his sword on his neck and shouted, "Zhang Lu dog thief, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!"

After saying that, Ma Tong killed himself on the spot.

Poor Ma Tong, who went to Hanzhong to ask for help, not only failed to get Zhang Lu's help, but also ended up dying as a guest in a foreign country.

After killing the Jingzhou army, Yang Gao led his men to drag the Jingzhou army's body into a nearby ravine, and then fled back to Hanzhong with the stolen gold, silver and jewels.

Poor Liu Bei, who was far away in Yuzhou, didn't know the news of Ma Tong's killing. He thought Ma Tong could bring reinforcements back from Hanzhong.

What's even more ridiculous is that the envoys sent to Yizhou also failed to get Liu Zhang's rescue. Liu Zhang refused Liu Bei's request on the grounds that Wei Yan led the Xiliang Army to station troops in Chencang.

No matter how Pang Tong begged Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang would not send troops.

Liu Bei waited in Yuzhou for half a month. During this half month, the Northern Han army came out of the city every morning to call for battle, and at night they bombarded the city gate with cannons. Seeing that the city wall was about to collapse, Liu Bei finally hoped for the envoy sent to Yizhou However, when Liu Bei learned that Liu Zhang refused to send troops, his heart sank. A few days later, after the defeated soldiers who fled from Hanzhong told Liu Bei about Ma Tong's killing, Liu Bei almost fainted. Liu Bei lamented: "Heaven wants to kill me, God wants to kill me!"

Zhuge Liang was silent on the sidelines, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Everyone in the room was silent, Zhuge Liang couldn't make up his mind, how could they have a solution!

"Kong Ming, what should I do now?"

Liu Bei still asked Zhuge Liang for advice as before.

Zhuge Liang murmured: "My lord, I'm afraid Yuzhou can't stay any longer. Continuing to confront the Northern Han army here will not benefit our army. It is better to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River and rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to resist the Northern Han army's offensive. !"

"Hey, if we really retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, half of Jingzhou will be lost. I only have half of the state left in my hands, and I will not be the opponent of the Northern Han Army!"

Liu Bei lamented.

This idiot Zhang Fei didn't know what was wrong, so he stood up to comfort Liu Bei: "Brother, Gao Zu defeated Xiang Yu repeatedly in the past, and the next battle in Gai will bring peace to the world in one fell swoop, why is the elder brother sighing like this!"

"You know what, Xiang Yu is a brave man, but Liu Ziyan is scheming and good at using troops. How can Xiang Yu compare with Liu Ziyan. Liu Ziyan is not Xiang Yu, and I am not the great ancestor. It is difficult, difficult!"

"Brother, how can you grow others' ambition and destroy your own prestige? When Emperor Guangwu fought Wang Mang, Wang Mang's army strength was several times that of Emperor Guangwu's, but a meteorite fell from the sky and helped Emperor Guangwu destroy Wang Mang's army. He is the real son of heaven, and the heavens will bless the elder brother! Liu Ziyan will be defeated by the elder brother sooner or later!"

Guan Yu also comforted Liu Bei.

"Oh, it's hard, it's hard!"

Liu Bei cried out in difficulty, walked out of the house with a flick of his sleeves, and looked up at the sky.

I saw a star in the north, which was extremely huge and shone brightly.

Pointing to the stars in the sky, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang who was following him, "Kong Ming, is that star the general of Liu Wei?"

Zhuge Liang replied: "Of course, this star is Liu Ziyan's general star, and it is also the brightest one among the stars in the sky."

"Hehe, it really is as big as a bucket, unattainable!"

Liu Bei laughed at himself.

"My lord, look at Liu Ziyan's flickering star, which means that Liu Ziyan is already ill and won't last for a few years!"

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth to explain.

"Ok!"

Liu Bei nodded his head absent-mindedly, and suddenly Liu Bei found another star rising beside Liu Wei's general star. Although it was not as big as Liu Wei's general star, the light it emitted was no better than Liu Wei's general star. The light is weak.

"Kong Ming, whose general is that, and why is it so dazzling?"

Liu Bei asked in a panic.

Zhuge Liang took a closer look, the secret path was not good, he pinched his fingers, and just about to do the math, suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Kong Ming, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Bei hurried to help Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and replied weakly: "This is the emperor star, and there is a Pojun star guarding him beside him. I shot rashly and was injured by the Pojun star!"

When Liu Bei heard the word "Dixing", his mind buzzed. As for what Zhuge Liang said later, he didn't listen to a word.
