Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 316
"Changxi is this person."

When it came to the topic of Mount Tai bandits, Wang Zheng couldn't help but feel moved, and looked at Xu Fang: "Before you returned to Pengcheng, did you see them?"

To put it bluntly, after agreeing to surrender to Yu Jin, Wang Zheng led his army directly to Yangzhou, and later learned the result from letters.

But with only a few words in the letter, it is impossible for Wang Zheng to know too much, such as the process, and even Chang Xi's disposition and ability, so far he still knows nothing.

It's not a big deal either.

Although he didn't know anything about Changxi, a giant bandit, Wang Zheng knew that he wanted to ban him. Since he joined the Heavenly Army, Yu Wenze's personality traits were actually somewhat contradictory. Because of his eagerness for meritorious service, he would occasionally take a risk.

As for the matter of recruiting Chang Xi, the key point is that Yu Jin proposed it on his own initiative, and even had to do it himself!
From Wang Zheng's point of view, this is the case, which shows that firstly, Yu Jin is certain about recruiting Chang Xi, otherwise he would not be so active, and he would have to do everything in his power.

Second, Chang Xi must not be an incompetent person. If the addition of his people and even his troops can not strengthen the strength of Wang Zheng's group, then it will not be regarded as any credit.

Why does Yu Jin need to ask for this errand?To recommend Chang Xi?
Of course, when a stranger is involved in other important decisions and plans of his own family, even if he is sure in his heart, Wang Zheng still wants to find out first.

And most people want to understand a person, usually first through the side, and then go to the front.

"When Major Yu brought this person back to Kaiyang, he held two banquets, and the last general happened to be present." Xu Fang is so smart, he knew what Wang Zheng was really asking: "This person has a bold personality, and he is a man. A little."

"Huh?" Wang Zheng Gu Pan asked, "How?"

"It's the same kind of person as Mr. You." Xu Fang pondered for a while, as if he was considering his words, and then said this sentence.

Wang Zheng was startled, then laughed dumbfounded, pointed at Xu Fang, and said helplessly, "You."

He understood why Xu Fang had to think about it.

No matter what, Chang Xi can be regarded as a minister in the same hall as Xu Fang now. With Xu Fang's cautious character, even if he and Wang Zheng are the only two in the hall at this time, he doesn't want to slander his colleagues and Pao Ze behind his back, so he did this He told Wang Zheng euphemistically that this is also a person who is proud of his talents.

"Well, if you're talented, it's okay to be a little more arrogant." Wang Zheng thought for a while, then said with a smile, "I'm going to ask myself, I'm commendable in terms of tolerance."

"There are also differences." Xu Fang thought for a while, and added: "Self-respect is more appropriate."

In other words, he thinks too much of himself, but he is not as blind as Mi Heng?

"It's so good." Thinking of Mi Heng's virtue of looking at people with his nostrils and thinking that the angle is not enough, he glanced at Xu Fang, Wang Zheng raised his forehead, and looked overwhelmed: "People like Mi Heng are the worst in our team." It’s better not to make a second one.”

"That's all for the general, if one day this guy's mouth is too much to make other people completely unable to step down, it will be difficult."

"Indeed." Xu Fang greatly agreed, nodding repeatedly.

The two looked at each other again, and couldn't help laughing at the same time.

Laughter rises and falls, like the howling of a tiger and the roar of a dragon, spread out of the room, blending into the gloomy night, echoing in the silent Pengcheng, and then lighting up the mansion, showing the lonely moon and cold stars in the sky.

When the laughter subsided, Xu Fang straightened his expression, and suggested: "Chang Xi is indeed capable, and he has a lot of soldiers and horses. The general was in Yangzhou that day, but now that he is back, he has seen you earlier, and he values ​​it. You can also convince this person as soon as possible."

"I also thought about sending the letter to Jin tomorrow, so that Wu Sheng would lead this person to see me in Pengcheng." Wang Zheng nodded and said, "But after talking to you, I just thought about it again."

"At the beginning, this person took the initiative to lead the soldiers and horses to vote, and indirectly helped us. He spent a lot of effort to collect Mount Tai, and he is considered a meritorious person."

"He is also a self-respecting person, since he is so, he should show respect."

"Is this the first meeting of the first meeting? It's not appropriate to let him come from afar to pay a visit."

"The general wants to return to Kaiyang in person?" Xu Fang was startled, and said, "Then Lu Bu's side?"

"With you and Zhang Zhao working together, what can Lu Bu do?" Wang Zheng waved his hands and said with a smile, "It's not in the way."

The two chatted for a while, and the focus was nothing more than how to respond if Lu Bu provoked a war. After setting the tone of the guard, seeing that it was getting late, Xu Fang took his leave and left. Wang Zheng got up and stretched himself, exercising his muscles and bones , Amidst the crackling sound of bones exploding, he paced to the window sill.

Pushing open the window, the cool breeze blows in, bringing a burst of refreshment.

After admiring the night, Wang Zheng sighed lightly, and drove back to Pengcheng in the starry night for days, his buttocks were still warm, and he was going to set off again tomorrow.

When I read history books in my previous life, I only saw those emperors, generals and ministers who held power and were superficially beautiful. Now I know that no matter great or mortal, high or low, most of the time in life is actually trivial and hard work.

It's just that the former can pile up countless trivialities and toils and turn them into a great moment.

And this great moment can be engraved in history, so that everyone knows this moment and him.

With such emotion, Wang Zheng was about to walk out of the study room, and was about to return to the master bedroom along the veranda, when he suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps coming from outside, as if someone was carefully stepping on small steps, slowly approaching , didn't stop until the door.

Immediately, the man carefully pushed them away, revealing a moving face that was as bright as morning dew and as graceful as an epiphyllum.

It was Bu Wan'er.

She was holding a plate of cups and cups in her hand, as if she was going to come in to serve Wang Zheng tea soup, but unexpectedly, she met Wang Zheng who was walking out at this time.

A short distance away, the four eyes met, Bu Waner's jade-like white cheeks immediately flew up red clouds, and with a soft cry, he lowered his head ashamedly, and was at a loss for a while.

Just finished talking about the military affairs of iron and blood, when he saw such a scene suddenly, Wang Zheng's eyes lit up, and his heart burned instantly.

Is this trivial or great?
While walking on the corridor with Bu Wan'er in his arms, Wang Zheng suddenly had such a doubt in his mind.

Xuzhou, Xiapi County, Huailing City.

Above the head of the city, the dark land is already covered by black clouds.

Under the gate of the city, thousands of troops besieged it, and it was completely blocked.

"Guan Sima, what did the state priest say in the letter?"

As soon as he set foot on the top of the city, several military officers rushed forward, surrounded a general Zao Mian, and shouted at one another.

"Brother ordered me to abandon the city." At this time, Guan Yu no longer had the proud look on his face, but instead had a gloomy expression, as if dripping water. He looked around for a long time, and then slowly uttered this sentence like gritting his teeth. .

"what?"

As soon as the words fell, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and there was an uproar immediately.

"We've won even battles these days." A subordinate couldn't help shouting, "I don't know how many heads have been beheaded by these southern barbarians, why should we abandon the city?"

"Yes." The other also shouted: "As for Sima, there are tens of thousands of enemies, and the Yangzhou army has double the number. Our Huai Ling is also impenetrable, and there is no possibility of losing it. Why don't we fight?"

No wonder the crowd was so excited.

Speaking from the overall situation, it is indeed Yuan Shu who is fighting against Liu and Yuan at this time.

Not long ago, with the help of Wang Zheng, Yan Xiang's team broke through the three cities of Tangyi, Yuguo, and Guangling. Shrunk dramatically.

Afterwards, taking advantage of the great victory, Yan Xiang even divided his troops into two groups. One group guarded Guangling City, and the other group led by Yuan Yin led 4000 troops, and directly broke through the Gaoshan City located at the border between Xiapi and Guangling two armies three days ago. , and then there were two volleys, and the three sides joined with Qiao Rui, who was mainly attacking Xiapi County.

This has led to Yuan Jun, who is now approaching the city of Huai Ling, with nearly 2 horses!
But even with such a powerful front, under the pressure of the army, it still did not shake the military spirit, hearts, and even morale in the city at this time!

The reason is precisely because the chief general of Huai Ling City is Liu Bei's sworn brother, Han Shouting Hou, Martial Saint Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang who will be powerful in China in the future.

Since the town of Huai Ling, Guan Yu has been invincible.

First, the fighting generals in front of the formation, beheading Yuan Shu's general Zhao Xun with a sword, directly caused Yuan Jun's troops who captured Pi for the first time to be defeated, and the soldiers fled in all directions.

Later, when Qiao Rui changed to lead the army, Guan Yu was also as imposing as a rainbow, attacking more with less, and fighting with the weak against the strong. He also won seven battles and seven victories. At that time, Yuan Jun who was beaten ran away with his head in his arms, and I don't know how many generals died under his Qinglong Yanyue knife.

At the most exaggerated moment, Yuan Jun's camp directly retreated from Huailing City for a hundred miles!

It can be said that in the hearts of the people, soldiers, and even generals in the city at this time, there are almost unanimous opinions on the second brother Guan.

Guan Sima is really a god!
"Not only must we actively abandon the city, but we must also feign defeat first." Guan Yu said at this time: "Yuan Shu is rich and powerful, and Yuan Jun has many soldiers and generals. Small victories are useless after all. If we want to completely eliminate the military disaster, Yuan Shu will be defeated Retire."

These words seemed to be explaining to everyone, but also seemed to explain himself. Guan Yu seemed to have finally figured it out: "A great victory is necessary!"

"If you want a big victory, you need to lure the enemy to go deep." Speaking of this, Guan Yu paused, looked down at Yuan Jun from the crenel of the city wall, and snorted heavily: "Huailing is not far enough from Jiujiang County!"

Guan Sima has already agreed?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, most of them were locals, even if they felt that Guan Yu's words were reasonable rationally, emotionally, it was hard to accept after all.

Not long after Liu Bei's new appointment as state shepherd, it is not enough to talk about prestige and people's hearts. If he only relied on his orders, the generals in Huai Ling City might not obey them, but Guan Yu was different.

After these days, everyone has long been convinced by it.

"If we abandon the city." At this time, a general murmured: "Once Yuan Jun wins the city, will he attack the folks in the city?"

"Brother only said to ask someone to find a suitable opportunity in the near future to feign defeat first, and then abandon the city, but he didn't say that it should be done immediately!" Guan Yu gave the other party a sideways look: "You can arrange your family members out of the city first."

What kind of nonsense folks, he can see through at a glance, these people are only worried about their wives and children's family.

"Although it's a fraudulent defeat." Another person looked carefully at Guan Yu's face, and said, "But the thief doesn't know at this time, if they spread it widely, it will damage Sima Hu's prestige after all!"

Hearing this, Guan Yu's face darkened again.

This is what makes him unhappy!
Who are Yuan Gonglu's subordinates?What kind of thing is this Qiao Rui?Probably not as famous as his two daughters!
Is he worthy of letting Guan Yu feign defeat?

Withdrawing his gaze from watching Yuan Jun, Guan Yu raised his head and looked up at the sky, feeling the cool wind blowing over his armor. He was silent for a while, breathed out a long breath, and said in a deep voice: "If you can bear the humiliation for a while, if you can give it to the elder brother to establish a foundation Help, hey."

"This deal is quite a bargain!"

"However, even if it is a temporary humiliation, Guan Yu cannot suffer it in vain!"

Guan Yu looked around the crowd, his eyes narrowed slowly, and as the killing intent in his heart grew inch by inch against the wind, all of a sudden, everyone felt that the temperature around them also dropped rapidly, as if returning from midsummer to winter in an instant.

"Qiao Rui, Yuan Yin." Guan Yu was condescending, pointing to the flags fluttering in the wind below the city, one after another: "There is Yan Xiang!"

"Wait and wait."

While speaking, just at this time, the battle drums and footsteps sounded in Yuan Junying outside the city. Thousands of people stepped on the hard ground, holding all kinds of siege equipment, shouting and rushing up like a tide. , Carried out the siege of the city for the first time today.

Everyone didn't move at all, and Guan Yu didn't change his face, and continued to say word by word:
"Look at how to kill someone!"

Xuzhou, Pengcheng State, Wu County.

County government lobby.

"Are you sure it's that stick?"

At this time, Lu Bu was dressed in normal clothes, and was lazily sitting on the main seat, playing with a toy in his hand, and asked casually.

On the left and right, there are Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others sitting upright.

"Although the villain has never seen this boy before." A middle-aged man said respectfully: "But seeing that he is not as young as a weak crown, he can command so many soldiers and horses, and they are all elite tigers and wolves. In Pengcheng, there should be no other person in Silai except the thief leader, Wang Zheng."

"Old Qian." Zhang Liao interjected at the side and asked, "You just said, where did Miss He meet this strange song?"

"It should be." The middle-aged man surnamed Qian thought for a while and said, "It's close to Lu County, Pengcheng."

"Lu County?" Hearing this, Lu Bu snorted coldly, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why did you run so far?"

"This girl is used to being arrogant and pampered, it's just that she doesn't know what's going on, why are you messing around with her?"

"It's a villain who lost his sense of propriety." Seeing the displeasure on the lord's face, the middle-aged man kept silent, and quickly bowed his head, wanting to apologize.

"If it's there, the possibility is not small." Chen Gong, who had been silent from the beginning, said for the first time, "Mr. Did you go to Yangzhou to meet Yuan Shu?"

"I've also heard that when Liu Bei and Yuan Shu were fighting each other a few days ago, it was difficult for Xiapi to go out, but Guangling was advancing all the way, and its commander was a young general."

"At first I thought it was the little overlord Sun Ce who led the army, but now, it should be the king."

"Yuan Shu and Liu Bei were fighting, why did Wang Zheng help?" Gao Shun asked suspiciously, "Since he had already made a move, why did he give up halfway when the victory was not yet decided?"

"Liu Bei is a hero, even if he is not as powerful as Yuan Shu at this time, his threat is far higher." Chen Gong squinted his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "This Zhu Zi helped Yuan Shu and wanted to drive Liu Bei out of Xuzhou. He obviously has good eyesight. I can see this. gone."

"As for why you gave up halfway and turned back in a hurry." At this time Zhang Liao also laughed, raised his hand slightly to Lu Bu, and interjected: "It is because our general came to Xuzhou."

Makes sense!
When everyone heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.

"It's a good thing that this son is so afraid of your lord." Chen Gong also said with a smile: "Since the rightful lord is back, your lord, why don't you write a letter and invite him to a gathering."

Before Lv Bu could answer, Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and said, "Sir, this son is considered to be in a high position now, how could he go to the tiger's lair in person?"

"What tiger's den?" Chen Gong shook his head, "This Wu county is under his rule."

"Is there any reason why the king doesn't want to be in the country?"

"If this son refuses with an excuse, on the one hand, it is suspected of showing weakness, and it will be a disappointment; on the other hand, we can also take the opportunity to turn against the customer."

"If he doesn't want to come to Wu County, it's fine." At this point, Chen Gongchang laughed, stroking the thin beard under his lips, his face was full of confidence and calmness:
"Gong is willing to go on an envoy for the prince, to Pengcheng!"
