The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 18
"Report...the poison department has arrived at the designated location."

"Report... Sun Qingbu has arrived at the designated location."

"Report..."

It was sunny after the snow, the sky was high at noon, and the cold wind was still blowing, making people shiver.

Thirty miles north of Yingtao County.

Cheng Yuanzhi drove the Chouyi, raised his head, and stared at the sky like a thin line with piercing eyes, listening to the scouts rushing to and fro, reporting the military situation.

Looking down, there is a long and narrow official road that can't be seen at a glance. The middle of the narrow road suddenly opens up, like a gourd, with steep cliffs on both sides and steep mountains.

Behind them, five cavalrymen dressed in official military uniforms were motionless, ready to go.

"set off!"

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hand, wiped a handful of dirt on his face, and rode out first.

The five cavalrymen followed suit, wiping their faces and following suit.

Da da da……

The sound echoed in the empty and narrow passage, far away...

……

In Yitao County Government Office, County Magistrate Dong Zhao was pacing back and forth, looking uncertainly at the young corps leader who was dusty and had a very temperamental temperament.

Although the young man looked like a commander of a thousand commanders, and he also had an aura of a superior person, but there were indeed only five people under his command.

Maybe it's just a corps leader? Dong Zhao doesn't have time to think about it now.

Wuji County was surrounded by tens of thousands of Black Mountain troops a day ago!
Not long after the imperial army annihilated the Yellow Turban Army, the army was exhausted and exhausted. They had already withdrawn, and there was no hope for them in a short time.

Right now, I can only rely on myself.

The situation is urgent, he must make a quick decision, otherwise, if something goes wrong in Wuji County, the Zhen family...

It's all right if the Zhen family is destroyed. If it is not destroyed, with the energy of the Zhen family, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

No, don't go!
Is it so easy to get the equipment, food, and pay for two thousand soldiers?
With the Black Mountain Army's style of asking for money without killing their lives, and killing chickens without taking their eggs, even if the city is destroyed, there is a high probability that the Zhen family will not be destroyed...

At most, break some money and scatter some food.

It has been half an hour since the young man reported here.

Dong Zhao stopped suddenly, staring fixedly at the young man's eyes, trying to see a trace of panic or calmness in his eyes.

Either way, this person is dead!

But alas, neither of those things.

He only saw the anxious look in the young man's eyes.

This person must not be a villain from the Montenegrin army!Most of the people in the Montenegro military department are mud-legged, and there will be no people with such a temperament.

Most of Dong Zhao's doubts were relieved.

But there is still a little bit of worry.

"Come on!"

After a little weighing, he quickly made a decision.

"Ta Tata..."

Five well-equipped captains came in unison, clasped their fists and saluted.

"Magistrate Dong..."

During the salute, everyone's swords and armor clattered.

"Tens of thousands of Black Mountain troops besieged Wuji County. Wang Wu stayed behind to defend the city. The four of you and two thousand soldiers went to Wuji County to rescue immediately."

Dong Zhao rubbed his temples, and added: "Speed ​​away..."

Galloping is running. If it is not urgent, infantry generally will not use this self-destructive way of marching.

As for the cavalry, it was only available to the imperial court and the frontier army.

The five captains looked at each other in surprise, and four of them left as promised.

The [-] soldiers in Yingtao County are under the command of their five captains. Each of them can command [-] soldiers. Four hundred.

Half an hour later, the four captains gathered the soldiers and led them out of the north gate.

For a time, the army formation was vast and mighty.

It can be seen that the military strength in Yingtao County is seriously overstaffed.

In this special period when only [-] soldiers are available in all counties, Yingtao County's military strength has already caught up with that of a county.

This is the power of money.

"Is Magistrate Dong still hesitating?"

Cheng Yuanzhi first glanced at the dragon-like soldiers at the foot of the city tower, and then his eyes fell on Dong Zhao on the tower, looking at him calmly.

Dong Zhao only sent [-] soldiers for rescue, but did not attack with his entire army, which was not what he expected.

There are still a thousand soldiers left in Yingtao County, ready to fight.

The plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain failed half the time.

And he, the messenger, was "detained".

Hasty. I shouldn't have come in person.

But other people can't do it well, just by temperament alone, people can't doubt it, only I can control it to death.

Fortunately, Ben Shuai not only has Plan A, but also Plan B, Plan C, and contingency plans.

Even if these plans are empty, just these rotten sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs in front of you are trying to trap me?
hum...

Cheng Yuanzhi glanced at the eight strong men surrounding him, and curled his lips cryptically.

However, this county magistrate is not simple.

Dong Zhao was noncommittal about this question, smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and walked straight to the watchtower on the tower.

When the two thousand soldiers left the city, he had already declared martial law in Yingtao County, allowing them to leave but not entering.

And as if facing a big enemy, he went up to the tower to inspect in person, vigilant like a cunning hyena, stretching out his nose, sniffing left and sniffing right.

……

Two hours later.

"Two thousand rescue soldiers were ambushed?"

Dong Zhaoyao looked at the several wounded horses outside the city, and the five defeated soldiers who were disheveled and embarrassed, and exclaimed.

The armor of the defeated soldiers was torn and covered in blood.

He didn't let these remnant soldiers into the city hastily, but walked up to Cheng Yuanzhi who was "in a daze", looked up and down, and laughed sneeringly.

At this time, Cheng Yuanzhi was calm on the surface, but panicked in his heart, and he was a little bit regretful.

Until now, I hadn't figured it out, how could a person who cherishes his life suddenly decide to fight in person?

Well, it must be for the survival of the tribe, for food, for righteousness, and to solve the hunger of the earth.

It must have nothing to do with Zhang Xiaoyu’s adoring eyes!

He just discovered that although the towers of Yingtao City are not high, the water in the moat is very wide and blue, and there are many fish and shrimp in it. The fish are fat and strong, and the shrimp are white and fat.

This shows that the depth of the moat is beyond his imagination.

In this situation, the operation of jumping into the city and escaping does not exist. Unless you have wings, it is impossible to be good.

The moment you jump, you will fall into the water, and you will have nowhere to rely. Since the city wall is not high, the power of the bow and arrow will be greatly enhanced, and you will be shot into a hornet's nest in an instant...

"Magistrate Dong..."

"Please listen to my last words..."

Cheng Yuanzhi pretended to be calm and tried to make a final save.

Dong Zhao stood five steps away, his face changed several times, he raised and lowered his hand, lowered it and raised it again.

It's been a while.

The soldiers around who were eager to fight suddenly felt as if they were in the air, and they rose and fell with the county magistrate's hand gestures.

"Would you like to hear it?"

"There must be something hidden in this. Magistrate Dong can inquire more in detail."

"Huh?" Dong Zhao raised his eyebrows and turned to look outside the city.

The five soldiers outside the city were like shrews, loudly asking why the people upstairs didn't open the door and why the county magistrate didn't answer.

Depending on the situation, if there is no response from the tower, they will greet the county magistrate's family earnestly.

Cheng Yuanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and praised his IQ.

Dong Zhao leaned out and asked several people about the process of the reinforcements being ambushed in detail with a serious expression, but when he turned his head to look at Cheng Yuanzhi again, his whole person's breath had become kind.

"Ahahaha... The strong man was frightened, I didn't notice, and almost misunderstood the strong man."

That wasn't a misunderstanding, you wanted to kill him by mistake. Cheng Yuanzhi curled his lips and returned the greeting indifferently.

According to the defeated soldiers, the five of them belonged to the scouting department. Because they walked forward, they tried their best to escape, but their horses were all injured, so they could only return by detour.

An hour ago, two thousand reinforcements had just entered Fuhu Valley, and the back road was blocked by firewood and hay all over the sky. Hundreds of people on the cliff were holding torches, ready to set fire to break the road at any time.

The road ahead was also blocked by boulders, and on the cliffs on both sides, there were also hundreds of people holding strong bows and crossbows, torches and rocks, staring at each other.

The ambushers also threatened that they only wanted money and not killed, as long as the reinforcements stayed calm and stayed in the valley obediently, they would not kill anyone.

Dong Zhao frowned and pondered. After the imperial army defeated the Yellow Turban Army, some of them returned to Beijing to return to their posts, some returned to their original station, and some were disbanded on the spot.

Suddenly, it was difficult for the imperial court to send troops to counter the rebellion, and it could only rely on the original troops of the counties and counties to protect themselves.

The known information at the moment is that tens of thousands of Black Mountain Army are rushing to attack Wuji County, and only a few hundred people here are blocking the reinforcements
hundreds of people.
There are still a thousand people in the city... If you go to rescue, relying on the superiority of your equipment, you will definitely go down with a drum, disperse hundreds of thieves, and rescue two thousand reinforcements...

Those are the two thousand soldiers of the imperial court!

If you see death and do not save, this official is in danger...

But if sending troops to rescue, how many troops should be sent?If there is less hair, the combat power will be stretched, and if there is too much hair, the city will be empty.

Dong Zhao felt that he was the first and the second elder. He was originally a son of a family, and he studied literature since he was a child. His strengths lie in government affairs, not in the military.As far as the military theories in my chest are concerned, they are all obtained from reading military strategies in my spare time.

Alas, when the book is used, there will be little hatred, and it is difficult to know what is going on!
Dong Zhao looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, and said to the last captain, "Wang Wu, you should go to rescue immediately with [-] soldiers."

"Magistrate Dong, there is absolutely something wrong! How can there be no soldiers in the city?"

The captain was taken aback, and quickly dissuaded him.

There are a total of [-] soldiers left in the city, and if [-] are sent out, it will be the same as an empty city.

If there are thieves coming to attack at this time... I'm afraid they won't be able to stop it for a while.

"Go, send more scouts on the way, don't be ambushed again."

Dong Zhao turned his back and spoke resolutely.

At this point, he had no choice.

Wang Wu gritted his teeth and took the order and left.

The sky gradually darkened, and dusk was approaching.

Two hundred soldiers were scattered scattered on the tower, every few dozen steps.

Cheng Yuanzhi regained his freedom, his doubts disappeared, and naturally no one came to watch over him.

Dong Zhao sized him up again, and said curiously: "I'm being rude, it's been more than half a day since the strong man came all the way to report, yet I don't know the name of the strong man..."

Cheng Yuanzhi looked left and right, saw no third person within a radius of [-] steps, cupped his hands and said: "A certain business doesn't change its name, sits and surname, that's the case with Changshan Yuanshe."

"Yuan... shot?"

"Your Excellency, you know?"

Dong Zhaofu shook his head: "I don't know, but the Yuan family in Runan has a lot of former students here, and I have been supported by the Yuan family for a long time, so I have today..."

Cheng Yuanzhi raised his hand to interrupt him, pointed to the sky and said, "Magistrate Dong, look there is a dragon in the sky!"

There are dragons in the sky?real or fake? ! !
Dong Zhao was startled, and hastily raised his head to look, but his eyes went dark immediately, and he didn't know anything about personnel...
