Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later
Chapter 477 There is no reason
On a hot summer day, Zhang Fei, who was rushing to Yangping Pass on the road to the city, happened to meet several escaped soldiers. When he heard that Yangping Pass had been breached, he simply did not believe it.
"This is impossible! The enemy only has 20,000 men. Even if there are more enemy troops inside the pass, it's impossible to break through in such a short time!"
Zhang Fei sat high on his horse, pointing his Zhangba Snake Spear at the newcomers, glaring angrily. "Tell me, are you spies sent by the Tang army to bring me false information?"
"I dare not deceive the general. This is absolutely true..." Several soldiers were frightened by him and quickly knelt down. One of them recounted the experience of breaking through the pass yesterday with tears and snot.
Zhang Fei was stunned after hearing this. After a long while, he asked, "Who is the commander?"
"It's Princess Tang!"
"Amo?"
Zhang Fei was in disbelief at first, but then it dawned on him. Who else but her could create such a miracle? It seemed that there was nothing in this world that she couldn't accomplish as long as she set her mind to it.
Zhang Fei did not say another word, but continued to rush forward with his troops. Halfway through, he suddenly asked his deputy general to lead the troops back to the city gate, and he rushed to Yangping Pass alone.
A man rode a horse quickly and arrived outside the pass before dusk. Zhang Mo was woken up just after she fell asleep. She went to the top of the city wall and saw that only Zhang Fei was there. She wanted to let him in to talk, but was refused by Zhang Fei.
"I just want to know why. After destroying Cao Mengde, your Tang Kingdom now controls half of the Han Dynasty. Why can't you accommodate my eldest brother? He only wants to preserve a small part of the Han Dynasty's foundation and defend Shuzhong. He helped Cao Cao out of necessity and didn't really want to oppose you. Why are you trying to seize the home he built with great difficulty? Why can't we coexist peacefully? Why?"
Faced with Zhang Fei's questioning, Zhang Mo didn't know how to explain. She had no reason to send troops to Yizhou. Senior Brother Liu was indeed pitiful. He had worked hard to manage Hanzhong for so many years, and finally took the opportunity of Liu Fan's death to gain control of Shuzhong. But he was about to lose it before he could even hold on to it, and it was taken away by her. Whether from a moral or personal point of view, she was really in the wrong this time.
However, on the road to fighting for the world, if everything is done according to reason, when will the world be unified?
Peaceful coexistence? Is it possible? Yizhou belongs to the Han people, it's Han territory, an inseparable part of the country. Even if this generation can coexist peacefully, the next generation will inevitably take back what was split off. Whoever is more powerful will be the legitimate heir! It makes no sense!
Seeing the shame on her face, Zhang Fei softened his tone and continued, "I know you're angry that he helped Cao Mengde to oppose you. I'll go and persuade him to come back. We'll stay in Shuzhong. No matter what happens outside, we won't come out again. Will you let him go this time?"
Hearing Zhang Fei's childish words, Zhang Mo shook her head and laughed, wondering if her stories had had too much influence on him. Or was he just playing dumb, trying to influence her emotionally? Was it possible to stop now?
"I must take Yizhou. If my brother is willing to surrender, he will have a place in the Tang Kingdom. Third brother, instead of trying to persuade me here, why don't you go and persuade him not to resist stubbornly and add more souls to the loss of his life!"
"Are you so heartless that you must force him into a desperate situation? He has been loyal to the Han Dynasty his entire life and only wanted to restore the Han Dynasty..."
"Do you believe this?" Zhang Mo interrupted him.
If Liu Bei was really that loyal to the Liu family, when Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu and seized Youzhou, he should have immediately broken with Gongsun Zan instead of continuing to rely on him or even accepting his troops to go to Xuzhou to help Tao Qian.
If he really wanted to restore the Han Dynasty, why did he repeatedly oppose Liu Fan over the years? Liu Yu and Liu Fan were both genuine relatives of the Han Dynasty, a hundred times more genuine than him, a relative who was not recognized by the court.
He had a heart full of righteousness and morality, but he also harbored considerable ambitions! However… at this point today, perhaps his morality had almost vanished. Was his intention to send troops to Nanyang just to help Cao Cao resist the Tang army?
Judging from the news sent back by senior officials some time ago, her senior brother Liu might be planning to seize Yongzhou.
Zhang Fei was stunned, and this time it was his turn to be speechless!
Zhang Mo said, "There is no room for negotiation on this matter, and I will not give up Yizhou for any reason. If you want to go see him, I can let you come alone, and I promise not to harm you."
Zhang Fei made this trip with the hope of giving it a try. He knew that Amo would not give up at this time, but would his elder brother surrender willingly?
Influenced by Li Ru in recent years, his ambition has grown, and his style of doing things has become more and more different from before. He still has 40,000 soldiers and horses, and including the defenders in Shiquan County and other pass through the pass, the total number may be more than 50,000. He will not give up so easily. Should he continue to guard the city gate, or go over and join the main force?
Zhang Fei was a little confused at this time, because he didn't know which side Zhang Fan, who was stationed at Jiange, was on. If Zhang Fan was on the side of Yizhou, Jiameng was still in his hands, and Shuzhong sent some more troops to attack Baishui Pass from the north and south with him, all the passes in the second half of the road would be taken back. With his elder brother entangled Amo and others in Hanzhong, Yizhou's chances of winning were actually greater, because Lu Bu had no way to send reinforcements at this time.
But if Zhang Fan was originally Amo's man, and he suddenly defected, Jiameng Pass, which is next to Jiange, would definitely not be able to be defended. Leaving only the pass in the middle, it would only be a matter of time before it was breached. It seemed that there was no point in staying here, so it would be better for him to go and meet up with his eldest brother.
Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment and simply asked directly, "Is Afan your man?"
How could Zhang Mo not know the purpose of Zhang Fei asking this question? The reason why she let Zhang Fei go to find Liu Bei was that she wanted to take Guancheng at a lower cost.
"He was originally my man! I sent him a message a long time ago. He should be preparing to invade Jiameng Pass by now. I don't know who the commander of Jiameng Pass is. He shouldn't be on guard against Afan, right?" Zhang Mo said this deliberately.
In fact, the letter to Zhang Fan was just delivered by a flying eagle half an hour ago. However, according to the flying speed of the eagle, he might have received it in a while, so it was not considered as deceiving Zhang Fei. As for who the commander of Jiameng Pass was, she also knew that he was a subordinate of Liu Fan. She had no idea that Zhang Fan was an officer of Yongzhou. She just thought that he was a confidant of Liu Bei like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"Why? Why do you want to arrange spies around my brother?" Zhang Fei, who learned the truth, found it hard to believe and didn't understand.
It is really hard to believe that when Liu Bei asked Zhang Fan to stay, he had just taken Hanzhong. Apart from the people borrowed by Zhang Mo, there were only a few sent by Gongsun Zan and a few brought from Xuzhou. According to Liu Bei's strength at that time, it was good enough to be able to hold Hanzhong. There was no possibility of taking Shuzhong. This spy arrangement was really too early and too far ahead.
Moreover, she already had a large family and wealth at that time. If she just wanted Hanzhong, she could have taken it down by herself, and there was really no need to rely on Liu Bei. Therefore, Zhang Fei always thought that Zhang Fan was really given to Liu Bei by her to consolidate Hanzhong, and he never thought of him as a spy.
Zhang Mo said truthfully, "I'm afraid that my senior brother will establish his own territory one day and hinder my great cause of unification, so I'm taking precautions."
Take precautions before it happens?
Zhang Fei suddenly felt that he had misjudged her before. Beneath her beautiful and delicate appearance, she hid a heart that was unfathomable and as hard as iron.
A spy, all the efforts of the eldest brother over the years were in vain for her.
