Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

Pang Tong looked at Ning Rong with bright eyes, nodded heavily, borrowed a torch, and burned the note to ashes.

Sima Yi looked at Pang Tong in surprise, curious about that place.

……

From the county.

Just as Ning Rong led the Beifu soldiers forward day and night, Ma Teng's special envoy finally arrived at the east gate after traveling all the way.

The war horses galloped all the way, even though they were skilled in riding, they would also feel hungry and cold, and their whole bones would fall apart.

no way!

Although General Ma Teng was generous, he had strict discipline in the army. The news of the defeat in Li County spread to the Chinese army. Dare to neglect.

"Call..."

When they came to Ximen City, looking at the fortified barriers on the high city, several people looked at each other, and the words "solid as gold" appeared in front of their eyes.

"Brothers, here we come! Proceed carefully! These people kill without blinking an eye!"

"Fart! We have a military order, so we will investigate strictly and turn against these bastards!"

The messenger cursed, reined in his horse, and came to the gate of the city. "Soldiers guarding the city, open the door quickly, we are the envoys of General Zhengdong!"

Chapter 875 Ma Teng's Messenger

But the soldiers guarding the city had already noticed their arrival, and the bow and crossbow had already been aimed at them. After all, in the middle of the night, they had to guard against such wild galloping horses!

"Open the city gate quickly! Let me wait in!" The envoy under the city shouted loudly.

"My lord, can you open it?" The defender on the city wall looked at the captain and asked.

"What do you think? It's the middle of the night, if it's the enemy's conspiracy!"

The captain looked at the soldier like an idiot and cursed.

"Uh... my lord said that there is no distinction between the enemy and the enemy, and the gates of the city will not be opened!"

The soldier nodded enlightenedly, but turned around and suddenly slammed his voice at the city.

"roll!"

The captain became angry instantly, his face changed drastically, and he kicked him.

"Trash! Who asked you to talk to me!"

He scolded the soldier fiercely, but the soldier was full of grievances, I was just telling the truth.

"Idiot! In the middle of the night, it's hard to tell the enemy from us. If it's an enemy, it's easy to say, but if it's really some kind of bullshit messenger, do you want to drive or not?"

The lieutenant taught the man a lesson, and those soldiers who were equally confused immediately pretended to be what they knew a long time ago.

"That's right! Let's pretend we didn't hear it, wait until tomorrow and say that we didn't hear it because of the strong wind at night! That way the messenger won't embarrass us!"

The other soldiers immediately chimed in to help.

"You bastard! This is the envoy of General Zhengdong! Open the door!" The envoys under the city also yelled at the words.

"Gentlemen, Lixian County has just been tricked by Cao Jun, and now it is difficult to distinguish the enemy from us in the middle of the night, but the last general dare not open the door!"

The captain sighed helplessly, and explained to the city.

"Go and call Cheng Yin, the guard general, to this emissary! He is really brave enough, has he already forgotten the might of General Shenweitian's spear!"

The envoy was full of anger, with a ferocious face, thinking that he had been working day and night, exhausted physically and mentally, these people dared to reject him, it was a heinous crime!

"Captain, what should we do?" The soldiers were in a dilemma and asked in confusion.

"Both of you go to the county government office to see if the general is asleep, and if you haven't, report it, but don't wake the general up!"

The school captain instructed earnestly, and the two nodded and ran towards the county government.

"Later, everyone, the last general will report to the general!"

When the envoy heard this, he extinguished his fury and spat hard.

Time passed slowly bit by bit, and when the captain and others were anxious, one of the soldiers ran back in panic.

"School... Captain Captain... killed... the general..."

The man spoke out of breath, and the surrounding people were confused, but the captain's face suddenly changed.

"The general fell asleep?" the captain asked hurriedly.

"No... not bad! After Xiao Liu walked in, the general stood up suddenly with his eyes closed and killed him, and then went back to sleep!"

The Xiliang soldier looked at each other, his face was pale and frightening, he looked like a ghost, his whole heart was beating wildly.

"Hey! Little Six...it's all my fault that Big Brother didn't tell you, the general is so sleepy about killing people!"

The captain sighed and blamed himself all over his face, while the rest of the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay. How could the general still have such a secret?

"My lord, don't blame yourself, it's all Xiao Liu's disobedience..."

"Ugh!"

With a long sigh, all the soldiers had different expressions.

"Then outside the city?" Someone asked, pointing to the guys outside the city who claimed to be envoys.

"Outside the city? Is there anyone outside the city? Did you see it?"

"Uh... no!"

Hearing the captain's words, all the officers and men continued to watch the night intently.

……

On a late autumn night, the cool breeze was blowing. The guards at the top of the city couldn't bear the severe cold and could warm themselves by the fire, wearing two extra clothes, but the envoys outside the city were complaining to the sky.

it's too cold!

The city gate was very close, but they couldn't get in. The emissary cursed at the city gate in a hoarse voice, but the guards in the city pretended to be dead and couldn't hear them. Speaking of which, they couldn't blame them, the captain's heart was always tense He said that the dark and blind people were afraid that opening the city gate would cause disaster.

"My lord, stop scolding, these lambs won't open the door for us! It's too cold today, let's find some firewood to warm up!"

The envoy nodded angrily, knowing that he would not be able to succeed tonight, he led his people to grope in the dark, found some dead wood, gathered around a dozen people, and the scorching flames finally gave them some comfort.
