On the third day of October in the sixth year of Jian’an (AD 201), the sky looked down over the earth with a gloomy face, and dark clouds surged across the sky like rivers.
Eighty thousand soldiers and horses clung to the school field in Chengdu, lined up with flags and horses neighing. Everyone’s eyes focused on the stage, and there was a person in the middle of the stage wearing a frost-covered sun helmet with a handful of green tassels on his head; he was wearing a pair of iron leaves to form armor; his waist was tied with gold. Animal face girdle, bronze heart-protecting mirrors on the front and back; a crimson tulip gown with a purple velvet flying belt hanging on the cage; a yellow leather-covered boot on the foot; the left hand is holding the hilt of the sword, and the right hand is on the waist, Very mighty. A person next to him wore a Xiaoyao towel and a soap cloth robe, with a magnificent and handsome appearance. There are several burly generals standing on the left and right sides of the Dianjiangtai, all wearing heavy armor and holding the swords in their hands; the black face is short and the beard is like an evil god.
The one in the middle is General Liu Xun. Standing next to him are General Zhuge Liang, General Zuojun Pang Tong, General Zhonglang Fazheng, and others. Generals include General Pingzhong Zhao Yun, General Pingnan Zhang Fei, and General Pingxi. Huang Zhong and other generals.
Zhuge Liang looked at the sky, and whispered to Liu Xun, "Master, the hour is here." Liu Xun nodded, took a step forward, and shouted, "Provoking the drum!"
With a military order, he ordered a strong bull next to the general platform and was immediately stabbed into the heart with a knife. Blood gushed out like spring water. After a soldier took a barrel and quickly filled a bucket with blood, he walked to the snare drum and filled it with force. The barrel of blood spilled on the drum surface.
The drummer on one side closed his eyes and squatted slightly, muttering words, holding a hammer in each hand, beating the edge of the drum lightly and rhythmically, and roared in a low but powerful voice: "Provocation—Drum—" As the voice stretched, The rhythm of the drums became faster.
The drummer suddenly closed his mouth and opened his eyes, and his double hammers were raised above his head. About three breaths later, there was a "boom—" and the drum sound resounded throughout the school field. The drummer's double hammers slammed into the center of the drum like iron hoofs. The strong vibration caused the blood on the drum surface to splash all over, and the whole body was splashed. On the contrary, the blood drummer became more excited, and the double hammers began to slam on the drum in a rhythm.
This is different from the previous sound. At first it was on the edge of the drum, and the sound was crisp, but now every hit hits the center of the drum, the sound is thick and deafening! As the rhythm of the drum sound accelerated, the blood on the drumhead kept splashing on the drumhead. From a distance, the whole bass drum and the drummer were enveloped in a cloud of blood. The soldiers on the court were all infected by this strong rhythm. The soldiers raised their swords high and shouted in unison with the rhythm of the drums: "Hey-hey-hey..."
The thunder sound seemed to be rolling deep in the clouds with the excitement of the soldiers. The sound of vocals, drums, and thunder roared together, as if they were about to turn over the entire Chengdu city. Liu Xun could not help but was deeply shocked by seeing such a magnificent scene. He sighed with a trembling voice: "Great!"
As the drum sound weakened, the "drum provocation" ceremony was over. Compared with the uplifting drums just now, the silence on the school grounds is extremely unaccustomed. Only Liu Xun’s "bang bang" heartbeat shows his excitement. Liu Xun sighed softly and calmed down his heart. excitement.
Liu Xun slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, raised his sword to the sky, and said loudly: "A rebellion broke out in Nanzhong. Gaoding, Yongkai, Zhu Bao, and Menghuo went wild and illegal, launched a rebellion, and killed the four counties of Nanzhong. The common people, today are entrusted by the people of Sichuan and Sichuan to fight against injustice! The three armies are here today, listen to my command!" Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other advisers and generals and 80,000 soldiers, all knelt down on one knee. .
Liu Xun continued: "All the soldiers, get up!"
Liu Xun gave the order, and the soldiers of the three armies replied loudly: "Here!"
Liu Xun went on to say: "Sergeant General Zhuge Liang, read the military law!"
This time Zhuge Liang was prepared in his heart, and these bans must be read out before the expedition. Zhuge Liang took a step forward and roared: "One: You can't advance when you hear the drum, and you can't stop hearing the gold. You can't lift the flag, and you can't press the flag. This is a rebellious army, and the offender should be cut off! If the time is not there, the time is not met, the rule of the division should be changed, this is called the slow army, and the offender is cut off!

Seventeen: Observe the bandits without trial, detect the thief without knowing it, and say nothing, say less when there is more, and say more when there is less. "
Once again, when he announced the military order in public, Zhuge Liang appeared to be more proficient. The difference was that there were more and more people facing dozens of people. Now facing the densely packed 80,000 people, Zhuge Liang almost used all his energy for breastfeeding this time. . But still only the first few hundred numbers can hear clearly. Fortunately, for this kind of order, the messengers on the stage will be passed to the messengers of each team in semaphore, and then the messengers of each team will be relayed to the soldiers of each team.
After reading, Zhuge Liang, whose face was flushed red, retreated to the back, panting heavily. Liu Xun looked at Zhuge Liang, smiled, and slowly returned the sword into its sheath. Now it's time for Liu Xun to play, otherwise I'm sorry. Outfit. Liu Xun cleared his throat, stepped forward to put on a mighty appearance, and shouted: "Well, today, you have to fight the enemy bravely. This, you have to do more." Although Liu Xun is witty, how could he have experienced this kind of thing? When I said two nonsense, the blue veins on the neck were violently roared. After speaking, I looked at the expressions of the soldiers: the front rows looked at Liu Xun calmly, with no expression, while the soldiers at the back looked at them from their dull eyes. It can be seen that they did not hear what Liu Xun said.
Seeing that the effect of his propaganda was so poor, Liu Xun couldn't help but blush, and gave up the long speeches he had prepared for a long time, and directly ordered angrily: "Line up out of the city!" As the commander's flag waved, the army slowly lined up. The growth team walked towards the gate in an orderly manner.
Outside the city of Chengdu, the civil and military officials and gentry people of Yizhou are listed outside the city gate, with hundreds of wine jars standing on one side, and the wine bowls are stacked into a hill. Half an hour later, 80,000 horses lined up outside Chengdu in a uniform, with Liu Xun standing at the forefront of the team. Fa Zheng waved his hand and said: "Sprinkle the wine." With an order, a hundred sergeants began to pour out the bowls in the army array. Not long after, 80,000 soldiers were already carrying bowls full of drinks.
Fazheng was dressed in an official uniform, raised his wine bowl elegantly, and said with a smile on his face: "Your husband should use a three-foot sharp blade to stand on the battlefield. In this battle in Nanzhong, the soldiers should fight the enemy courageously. , The protection of the people is comprehensive. When the success is achieved, Fazheng led the Yizhou civil and military officials to wish the main stallion success, eliminate the rebellion, and calm the Nanzhong area!" After that, he drank the wine.
General Pingnan Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Diaozhi, you are too stingy to wait, I will get a bowl of wine, not enough to quench my thirst!"
"If General Zhang has done a great job on the battlefield, the lord will definitely make General Zhang enough to drink!"
Fazheng looked at Liu Xun, said with a smile, and then brought a bowl full of wine to Liu Xun with both hands.
Liu Xun rode on the horse, glanced at Fazheng, took the wine that Fazheng handed over, and then said to Fazheng, "Fatal loyalty, I have shown Yizhou to me during the period of my expedition!
Fazheng said, "Don't worry, I will protect Yizhou!"
Liu Xun thought for a while and said, "filial piety, the grain and grass must be delivered in time. The mountain roads in the south-central area are rugged, but with Kongming's'wooden cows and horses', the transportation of grain and grass should not be a problem!"
Fa Zheng said in a righteous voice: "Don't worry, the lord can take my head away if the soldiers in front are hungry!"
"Okay, Xiao Zhi will not disappoint my expectations." After that, Liu Xun held the wine bowl and said to the soldiers in the army: "After drinking this bowl of wine, I will set off after this!" Liu Xun picked up the wine bowl and slammed up. !
Fazheng said, "Bing is expensive and fast, and the lord will lead the army quickly."
"Okay!" Liu Xun nodded approvingly, then violently pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and waved and said, "Go!"
"The lord has an order, and the three armies will set off immediately!"
"The lord has an order, and the three armies will set off immediately!"
"...… '
Hundreds of soldiers galloped in the army, passing Liu Xun's orders to every soldier!
Eighty thousand soldiers and horses followed Liu Xunhaohao's **** on the official road. Liu Xun turned his head and looked at the dense figures behind. The legendary domineering spirit naturally came from the heart, and Liu Xun couldn't help but hold his chest. It's quite strong, and my heart is full of emotions: After calming down the Nanzhong area, you can solve the turmoil in Yizhou once and for all, and you can go out of Qinchuan with peace of mind and compete for the Guanzhong area! Liu Xun’s series of actions were seen by Zhuge Liang on one side. Zhuge Liang looked at the heroic young and old general in front of him, with a smile on his face...
