Chapter 500 Zhang Lu Eats Kundan Online! Zhang Fei Gets Beaten Up Instead of Catching a Deer
定军山
Zhang Lu deployed his troops here.
Although the fighting ability of soldiers who only earn five bushels of rice is not as good as that of veteran soldiers who have fought a hundred battles.
However, their morale and spirit are often maintained at a very high level.
"There are so many wild deer on the mountain."
"Master, should we hunt some of them for food?"
Beside Zhang Lu, a lieutenant licked his lips.
Zhang Lu shook his head and said:
"Don't do that."
“Deer are intelligent, so we can just kill some pheasants to eat. There are plenty of pheasants on Dingjun Mountain anyway.”
"And the eggs laid by pheasants are also a delicacy."
"I will obey the Celestial Master's command!"
The deputy general immediately dispatched a squad of soldiers to capture pheasants.
The poor pheasant ended up in the bellies of Zhang Lu and his soldiers.
……
Jiameng Pass
Compared to the well-fed and clothed Zhang Lu and others, the treatment of Liu Bei's soldiers was far worse.
Don't look at what a person says, look at what they do.
Did Liu Bei implement benevolent policies for the people?
It seems... there really isn't one.
In any case, not a single one has been found in historical records.
Of course, this is not to say that Liu Bei was cruel and heartless. Objectively speaking, he was somewhere in between, taking a middle ground.
nowadays.
The most favored faction under Liu Bei was the Dongzhou faction.
The locals in Yizhou are very unhappy about this.
Furthermore, a large portion of Yizhou's resources are controlled by the local people of Yizhou.
What Liu Bei wanted to do was simply hope that the locals of Yizhou would increase their investment in him.
But everyone isn't stupid.
If you increase investment, you have to see a return, right?
If you skip stones, who will want to play with you?
Therefore, the local powerful families in Yizhou were not willing to fully support Liu Bei.
This meant that even though Liu Bei had provisions, he still had to cut back on food and clothing.
It was even more impossible for his troops to get any meat.
but.
Not all generals are able to share weal and woe with their soldiers.
For example, Zhang Fei.
He hunted a wild deer, roasted the meat, and then shared it with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Fa Zheng.
As Liu Bei ate the venison, he remarked with emotion:
"Unfortunately, our preparations are insufficient, so we cannot ensure that all our soldiers can eat venison."
Guan Yu advised:
"Brother, don't blame yourself."
"After we take Hanzhong, we will have more resources at our disposal, and the food and treatment of our soldiers will be able to be improved accordingly."
Fa Zheng smiled but remained silent.
promote?
how could it be possible!
The more resources there are, the greater the exploitation.
What ends up in the hands of the lower-ranking soldiers is always what the higher-ups don't want.
After finishing the deer leg, Zhang Fei said with lingering satisfaction:
"I heard that there are many wild deer on Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain."
"After we take Hanzhong, I, Old Zhang, will hunt in the mountains for ten days and ten nights!"
Guan Yu smiled and said:
"Isn't my third brother afraid of getting tired of eating venison?"
Zhang Fei grinned and laughed:
"Back in Zhuojun, you could eat a whole pig in one meal!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Fa Zheng was also amused.
Eating a whole pig in one meal? That's definitely an exaggeration.
However, Zhang Fei's words served as a reminder to Fa Zheng.
The harmonious ecological environment of Dingjun Mountain suggests that Zhang Lu's exploitation of Dingjun Mountain was not extensive.
It could even be said that the wild animals of Dingjun Mountain were allowed to thrive.
If we were to take advantage of the night and send an elite force to cross Dingjun Mountain and launch a surprise attack on Nanzheng City, wouldn't that be twice as effective?
The more Fazheng thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed. He then said to Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei:
"My lord, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, I have a plan."
After hearing this, Liu Bei and the other two were also impressed.
Zhang Fei patted his chest and said:
"Strategist, let me, Old Zhang, carry out this plan!"
"Now Zhang Lu's army is almost entirely stationed at Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain."
"But Dingjun Mountain covers a very large area."
"As long as I, Old Zhang, can evade his scouts and make my way to the walls of Nanzheng, Hanzhong will be secured!"
"Third brother, isn't this too dangerous?"
Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei with concern.
People are all hypocritical.
For such a dangerous mission, Liu Bei's first choice would naturally not be Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, but Yan Yan, Pang Xi, and others.
Zhang Fei, however, said:
"Brother, don't you trust me, Old Zhang?"
"Besides, we only need to bring some dry food for the journey."
"If you get hungry, you can hunt for food!"
Upon hearing Zhang Fei's words, Liu Bei nodded.
After conquering Shu, Liu Bei became somewhat arrogant.
He has never had much luck in the past.
Like a wanted criminal, from north to south.
But now, things have taken a turn for the better, and the outcome is still uncertain. It remains to be seen whether he or Cao Cao will be the dark horse!
……
Zhang Fei led his 1,500 most elite soldiers, under the cover of other troops, and secretly took a side path toward Dingjun Mountain.
Just as Fa Zheng had expected, they did not encounter any of Zhang Lu's spies along the way.
Before they knew it, Zhang Fei had already completed half of the journey, and it seemed that a surprise attack on Nanzheng was on the horizon.
But Zhang Fei understood one principle.
People are iron rice is steel.
It's awful not to have meat to eat!
How can you bear to let a butcher from Zhuojun go without meat?
Therefore, Zhang Fei decided to personally lead his soldiers on a hunting trip.
After crossing a high slope, Zhang Fei suddenly discovered a large herd of wild deer gathered together.
"Quick! Bring me Old Zhang's bow and arrows!"
Zhang Fei grew impatient and kept urging his deputy, Zhang Yi, to hurry up.
It's quite a coincidence that Zhang Yi and Zhang Fei are like this.
One was named Zhang Yi, and the other was named Zhang Yide.
But before Zhang Fei could even draw his bow and nock an arrow, the huge herd of deer was disturbed by Zhang Fei's troops.
"Hu~~"
A strong wind blew, and the deer herd, led by its leader, charged towards Zhang Fei and his men!
"General, please disperse!"
Zhang Yi was shocked and quickly reminded Zhang Fei.
Although Zhang Fei was a very skilled fighter.
But faced with the charge of a massive herd of deer, let alone Zhang Fei, even Lü Bu would have to kneel!
Zhang Fei wasn't stupid either; he pulled Zhang Yi and the others and fled into the woods.
But the startled deer herd still charged toward the encampment of Zhang Fei's soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
One after another, the sound of impacts came.
Although some wild deer were unfortunately killed by Zhang Fei's soldiers.
However, this also caused some damage to Zhang Feijun.
Other than that.
The bigger chain reaction was that the commotion alerted the scouts under Zhang Lu's command on the neighboring mountain!
A large herd of deer making such a huge commotion would not be something even the most foolish scout could ignore.
Several scouts rushed off to report the news to Zhang Lu as quickly as possible.
Zhang Fei's attempt to eat meat backfired, revealing his whereabouts instead.
Zhang Lu also gave positive feedback.
Protecting wild deer is everyone's responsibility.
Soon, the Five Pecks of Rice soldiers surged in from all directions, surrounding Zhang Fei and his 1,500 men!
finally.
Zhang Fei paid the price of losing Zhang Yi and almost all 1,500 men, returning severely wounded.
Upon learning of this...
Fa Zheng looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, while Liu Bei also had his own unspeakable suffering.
……
PS: The story of the wild deer is a true story with Zhang Fei as the protagonist, which led to Cao Cao's timely relocation of nearly 90% of the people in Hanzhong.
The victory in the Battle of Hanzhong, which Liu Bei had painstakingly fought to win, was thus greatly diminished.
