The Peerless God-level System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 142 The Conflict Begins

Regardless of what was going on in Cangwu City, Yuan Yao took advantage of the darkness to successfully hit the morale of the defenders.

The city walls of Cangwu City were originally very tall, but Wu Ju has stepped up construction over the years, making it even more difficult to break through. Before the external threat of Gao Xiang is eliminated, Yuan Yao is not willing to take the risk of attacking the city with his entire army.

It was just a matter of distributing the soldiers, encircling Cangwu city inside and outside, and dividing it into camps on all sides, and made up the idea of ​​siege.

At the same time, the soldiers who had recently surrendered were also organized by Yuan Yao, and Yuan Yao ordered people to rebuild the original fortifications outside the city. However, this time, they were no longer facing the siege troops outside the city, but It is possible to rush out of the defenders.

Originally, Wu Ju should have sent troops to stop Yuan Yao's unscrupulous behavior outside the city. After all, his city still had an army of [-], and all of Yuan Yao's troops added up could only reach the top. Ten thousand people, just last night, Qin Qiong took away the most elite cavalry battalion.

Wu Ju also has a favorable location. If he drives the people to defend the city, if he puts all his eggs in one basket and goes out to attack, maybe he can even make Yuan Yao retreat.
However, this is just Yuan Yao's wishful thinking.

Wu Ju was not a great talent in the first place, and all his subordinates were soldiers and crab generals. Cangwu has been in peace for a long time, although there are often some Yue people who make trouble, the soldiers are not prepared for a big war, and the city has always been crowned as the bravest The general was also killed, and for a moment people were a little panicked, who would come out and take the lead.

Of course, since Wu Ju was able to hold on to Cangwu's foundation under the pressure of the scholars, besides relying on Liu Biao's support, he himself must have some skills.

Now that he had made up his mind and wanted to find out Yuan Yao's flaws, how could he really hide in the city and be beaten passively.

A counterattack is inevitable. Although Wu Shi's death has dealt a great blow to the army, Mu Li is still there. Wu Ju thought about it all night, and in the early morning of the second day, he called Qu Jing and others, and paid special attention to it. Mu Li was also present, so he showed a smile, looked at Ou Jing, and asked in a worried tone, "Yuan Yao's catapult is very powerful. Brother Ou has fought against him before. I don't know if there is any way to break it?"

Qu Jing also frowned, expressing the same worry as Wu Ju, and sighed: "I am stupid, but I can't think of any good way, but there is a stupid way. Although the catapult is powerful, it is a pity that it is too heavy. If we To be able to select elite soldiers and attack them suddenly when they are about to attack the city, even if they can't completely destroy those large vehicles, as long as they destroy a dozen or so vehicles at once, Yuan Yao must have some scruples."

Wu Dahe was overjoyed, and secretly thought that when he fell asleep, someone would give him a pillow.

He was worried about how to ask for someone, since Qu Jing mentioned it, why didn't he grasp the topic and sighed: "What Brother Qu said coincides with me, but in my hands, although there are some elite soldiers, but There is not a suitable general who can use them, I don't know if there is a general who can be used by Brother Qu?"

Hearing the strings, he knows the elegant meaning, and the scenery of the area is good at shady people, so how can he not understand the hidden meaning in Wu Ju's words.

Immediately, my heart was crooked, and I wished I could turn my face on the spot. However, the situation was compelling, and he had originally defected here. Even if Wu Ju took the opportunity to kill him and annex his tribe, it was still possible. It's rare, how ignorant Qu Jing is, he immediately patted his chest and laughed loudly: "What should I do? I am grateful to the prefect Wu for not giving up and taking me in. Although my talents are mediocre and I don't have a lot of people around me, there is something wrong with me." brave!"

Then he said to Muli: "From now on, you can obey the orders of Taishou Wu, and don't disobey!"

Muli nodded, the two were old friends, there was still some tacit understanding, he first saluted Qu Jing respectfully, and then he cupped his hands to Wu Ju and said, "I'm here at Muli, and I'm waiting for your lord's orders!"

Without much trouble, Qu Jing was handed over to the general. Wu Ju was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly got up to support Mu Li, made him sit back, and praised: "Brother Mu, I have been famous for a long time, and Cang Wu can win Mu Li." It is really a blessing to help you brother!"

He also ordered some gold and silver to be brought from others, and a hundred pieces of silk cloth. He said to Mu Li with a smile, "A small gift is not a respect. Brother Wanwang Mu works hard. Once Yuan Yao is defeated, I will give you a generous gift!"

Regarding the gifts presented, Mu Li just glanced at them lightly, and ordered the clansman behind him to take them. He politely returned the gift and said, "Why do you say that, Brother District and I are good friends, and friends are in trouble." , I will naturally go through fire and water! My lord has life, just order it!"

The implication is that it not only expresses his determination to serve, but also indirectly implies his relationship with District King.

After Wu Ju heard this, the smile on his face did not change, but the kindness just now weakened a lot. He nodded and said: "In this case, brother Mu can go to the army with my deputy general to select elite warriors. Get in the car and wait for the opportunity to go out of the city to intercept and kill!"

Mu Li nodded, and went to the army with one of Wu Ju's generals. He selected five thousand brave men, all fully armed, and waited for Wu Ju's army order. The elite soldiers, these 1000 people, all wore triple armor, fine iron helmets on their heads, sharp swords hanging from their waists, and spears in their hands. Everyone carried a large bow and dozens of feathered arrows behind their backs.

How did the soldiers inside and outside Cangwu City prepare? Qin Qiong got Yuan Yao's order. Taking advantage of the night, under the cover of the army, he wrapped his horseshoes in cloth and took a mouthpiece along the way. He quietly avoided the eyes and ears of Cangwu City. Walk along the river bank.

There are also spies pointing the way, all of them are local Yue people, they traveled across mountains and ridges, crossed villages and villages, copied the accent of the Yue nationality, and searched for Gao Xiang's whereabouts.

How could Gao Xiang have thought that Yuan Yao would boldly bypass Cang Wu to attack him, or rather, he never thought that Yuan Yao would know the news of his coming. After all, he was behind Cang Wu. News, too, takes time,
It's just that after all the calculations, he still couldn't escape the betrayal from the inside. Wu Ju planted spies beside Lai Gong, and Lai Gong naturally retaliated with an eye for an eye, and also bribed his own guards by Wu Ju's side.

The difference is that under Xue Zong's attention, most of the spies placed by Wu Ju were detected, but it was difficult for Wu Ju to detect the spies placed by Lai Gong. The so-called fans of the authorities, if there is no kind of clear-headed and talented person with outstanding strategy, there are many things that are difficult for people in the situation to distinguish clearly.

After inquiring all the way, after finding out the route of Gao Xiang's march, Qin Qiong immediately led the crowd to run wildly.

Before dispatching troops, Yuan Yao had given orders, and Qin Qiong was the main one.

Now, under the instruction of Qin Qiong, a thousand cavalrymen removed their flags and pretended to be ordinary Yue warriors. They didn't know who that person was, and found a big flag with a big wild boar embroidered on it. Then, everyone took off The armor, abandoned the standard weapons, and used grain to replace a lot of rough weapons from the nearby Yueren village. After a while, they changed into a native Yueren tribe.

What's more, it's the real thing, and there's nothing wrong with it.

In the middle of the journey, the spies suddenly sent back news that they found the whereabouts of Gao Xiang's army, and they were heading this way. Qin Qiong hurriedly started to arrange.

Everything was ready, everyone held their breath, and stared intently at the distant river bank. There used to be a small ferry, but it was temporarily built by Jiaozhou merchants to go to Jingnan. Although it could not park large warships, small boats and sampans The plate is enough, a group of Yuan Jun gathered there in twos and threes, and found a lot of game. In the open air, they lit a big fire and baked the game.

It just happened to completely occupy the open space next to the ferry, and some people scattered in the distance to inquire about Gao Xiang's army along the river.

At this time, Gao Xiang, in high spirits, led his army of more than ten thousand down the river, just approaching the ferry here.

He is not close to Wu Ju, even for a time, it seemed that Wu Ju wanted to attack him and occupy Linhe.Why did Gao Xiang happily run over this time?

The matter began with Yuan Yao's capture of Nanhai County.

Although Yuan Yao occupies Nanhai County and has imperial edicts, he doesn't know what the current emperor looks like.

Yuan Yaoran pointed to Jiaozhou's intentions, but no one could understand, that is, Shi Xie, who was still a little scruples about the emperor's edict, and he also wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, so he could bear it.

Although Cangwu is vast, Yue people do not obey the king's laws and plunder counties and counties, it often happens. Therefore, although Wu Ju said nicely on the surface that he is not afraid of Yuan Yao's attack, in the end, he is also worried in his heart.

Lai Gong also listened to what he said.So he sent someone with a heavy gift to Linhe to persuade Gao Xiang to come to help, and even promised that once Yuan Yao's attack was repelled, he could still ask Jingzhou to write to the imperial court, and it was Gao Xiang who was canonized to take over Linhe.

Gao Xiang was naturally delighted with such a great event. Although he occupied Linhe, what he was worried about was this title.

If the name is not right, the words are not right.

He was originally sent as an envoy to applaud the court's grace, but suddenly he insisted on not leaving, and even recruited soldiers to occupy the county town by force. There is nowhere to reason.

Moreover, the consequence of doing so is that, because he does not have an official position, everything he does encounters great resistance. Not only the Han people are unwilling to obey his orders, but even the Yue tribes often use the excuse of crusade against rebellion. Came here to plunder, Gao Xiang had had enough of this situation, and wished to regain his official status in the imperial court.

Wu Ju's condition was undoubtedly a timely gift, so why didn't Gao Xiang come.

Immediately, he mobilized thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, and for the sake of looking good, he recruited strong men along the way, forcibly gathered tens of thousands of soldiers, and then went down the river and rushed to Cangwu.

This day happened to be the day when his army was approaching the Cangwu boundary.

If there is no accident, if you land from the wild crossing on the river bank, you will be able to rush to Cangwu City in the middle of the night to accept Wu Ju's warm hospitality.

Therefore, today's Gao Xiang is extraordinarily energetic. He changed into gorgeous clothes early, stood on the bow of the boat, and urged the sailors to row quickly.

However, the open space of Yedu has long been occupied. Even around the river bank, many wooden fences have been deliberately installed, as if they intend to live there for a long time. The ones are piled up together, and they look like they are made.

Gao Xiang's soldiers, who were sentry in front, had no doubts either, but it was a little strange that there were so many Yue people who came here to settle here.

However, as soldiers, those spies could only report the news from this side to the army behind after scouting around.

Hearing that the ferry was occupied by a group of Yue people, Gao Xiang, who was urging him on his way, couldn't help being furious, and cursed fiercely: "Where did you come from, you dare to block the way of this general! Send an order to send 100 soldiers and take these people away." Get rid of me! Hurry up, who dares to be lazy, be careful with your heads!"

The spy's legs trembled, and he hurriedly backed away, not daring to bother Gao Xiang to send someone to chase him away, so he had to gather together the sentry people, there were more than [-] people in total, although the number was small, they were all wearing military uniforms, even though they were young Soldiers, still think of themselves as officials, have such an aura.

These 70 people, arrogant and furious, made up their minds to get back the anger they received from Gao Xiang.

On the shore, all of them were arrogant, and from a long distance away, they cursed and said: "I put you indifferent bastards, who told you to block the road here! I didn't see that I was waiting for the army to come, so I knelt down wisely!" Come here and kowtow, get out of here early!"

A soldier of Yuan Jun's fiery temper heard this, he couldn't help glaring with big eyes, he jumped up vigorously, grabbed one and beat him violently. As soon as they swarmed up, hundreds of people rushed out together, grabbed one, and beat them up.

Xiao Dutong was even more anxious, hurriedly separated the crowd, grabbed the raised arms of Yuan Jun's soldiers, and persuaded: "Don't do it, do it slowly, these are officers and soldiers, they can't be beaten, they can't be beaten!"

I don't know where the soldier of Yuan Jun is willing to take care of him, so he punched hard again, and cursed: "What kind of bird soldier, when you see my king here, you should honestly kowtow and report, how dare you belittle me, and beat me!" Kill this person, and then go to this person's boss to settle the score!"

Originally it was just a show, taking the opportunity to provoke, Xiao Dutong also did it to the fullest, and tried hard to persuade him, but he was a little afraid of the officers and soldiers.Those spies, who had never encountered such vicious treatment, were frightened by the beating, and kept begging for mercy.

Yuan Jun's soldiers saw that the fire was almost ready, so they punched one of them to death, casually grabbed the dead spies with their hands, threw them into the river, and said to the group of spies with bruised noses and swollen faces: " You are rude, you should have killed them all, but I am afraid I will kill you all, no one will go back to report the letter, and if you hear it clearly, go back and tell that dog officer, even if this place, the king has taken a fancy to it, he wants to go ashore , and searched for another place as early as possible, if he makes noise again, even his army will be wiped out!"

Those spies, everyone was terrified, they had a chance to live, they got on the small boat, and rushed back into the river, making sure they were safe, and they couldn't bear the humiliation, they shouted loudly: " You goddamned bastard, just wait and see us lead an army to take revenge!"

A group of soldiers were furious, and rushed towards the bank as if they were going into the water. The spies were so frightened when they saw these fierce gods, they didn't dare to make any more noise, and hurriedly paddled and rushed upstream.

When Xiao Dutong saw it, he couldn't help laughing, stopped the soldiers who had already stepped into the river, and said with a smile: "Don't be impulsive, the enemy has already been tricked, Gao Xiang's army will come at any time, and be prepared to avoid unnecessary casualties!"

Everyone is embarrassed in their hearts when they are too involved in the play, but these days, everyone has improved a lot. A simple and honest soldier said with a smile: "My lord said that acting should be realistic."

Xiao Dutong curled his lips, this sycophant, secretly thought that if I didn't stop you, you would throw yourself into the river.

However, in his mouth, he naturally couldn't say it out. He immediately summoned everyone and secretly warned him. On the surface, he looked completely indifferent, and he should do what he should do.

actually.Such a situation is also normal. It is common for ordinary people to kill people at the slightest word. Beating officers and soldiers, although Meng Lang is a bit more, is not uncommon in some powerful tribes, especially in troubled times. Even the boss, the government doesn't have the ability to destroy them with all their strength, most of them focus on appeasement.

It is also because of the strength of the disguise that the spies did not have the slightest doubt. They thought that they had encountered a large tribe from somewhere, and rushed to meet the army. When they saw Gao Xiang, they all cried: "General, let's make the decision for us. Let's go and announce The general ordered, who knows that those people are strong, not only killed my companions, but also insulted the general, saying that this place has already been occupied by him, how far should I wait to get rid of it, and then harass me, I will... .”

"What do you want!"

Gao Xiang was furious, the beating of the dog still depends on the owner, Gao Xiang is also a well-known surname in Jiaozhou, he is usually from Yue people, when he saw him, he didn't give him some face, now someone is blatantly slapping him in the face, and he is still close to Cangwu, If things are calmed down, this joke will be settled.

The spies looked at each other, and one of them said viciously, "The leader said, if the general doesn't know what to do, he doesn't suggest taking your head off to make a chamber pot!"

"what!"

Everyone around Gao Xiang was shocked, and then furious. Whenever they bullied others, and when anyone dared to insult them in turn, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and anger.

"No reason!"

Gao Xiang's face turned blue, his body trembled, and he ordered loudly: "Needless to say, these people must be thieves who are bandits. Pass my order, and the army will advance at full speed. Today, we will wipe out this group of thieves first, and then go Cangwu is not too late!"

The spies on the boat wished Gao Xiang could be like this, regardless of the pain in their bodies, they enthusiastically said: "We were originally the front, and we will make amends!"

With a dark face, Gao Xiang asked these people to lead the way. Except for 3000 people who were guarding the food and fodder, the other 7000 people all marched into the army of more than [-] people.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Gao Xiang saw someone building a house in the open space of Yedu, sorting out the wood. On the bank of the river, a tall wooden pole was stuck in the wetland, and a dead man was tied up tightly on it. , it was his own spies, and he couldn't help but feel even more angry.

However, this group of Yue people is extremely majestic, Gao Xiang is also a little uncertain, and wants to find out, if these people come from a large tribe, he can't easily provoke them.

The Yue people are like this, they seem to be loose, and the number of people is also scattered. Once one is provoked, there is no justifiable excuse, and it is easy to cause a swarm of Yue people to resist.

Even Shi Xie didn't dare to really compete with the entire Yue tribe for hegemony, instead of suppressing and appeasement.
