Ruan Qing walked out.
Yang Guhuai put the knife back into its sheath and followed closely.He could not help being startled when he saw the soldiers surrounding the house clearly.
Although Nangu had no intention of being with ordinary people, after all, he had been raising them for many years, and he could tell at a glance that these so-called soldiers were Gu corpses.
Why are there so many voodoo zombies here?It must be the batch he brought.
But he didn't control the Gu corpse to come.
Shocked in his heart, he followed Ruan Qing and heard slight footsteps behind him. Looking back, he saw those voodoo corpses following behind them in an orderly manner.
He didn't control the Gu zombie at this time.
So whose command are these vomits obeying?
Suddenly, he thought of who sent the Gu insects for refining these Gu corpses.
Yang Guhuai suddenly felt bad.At this moment, he felt as if there was a cold blade hanging on his neck, and he didn't know when it would fall.
A cold sweat broke out on his back, he swallowed secretly, turned his head stiffly, and looked at Ruan Qing's back.
Lean and tough.Even wearing cotton clothes still looks thin.
But no one knows how this person who seems to be able to be knocked down with a single punch can plot against you, and he doesn't even know how he died.
Like a scorpion curled up in a corner.Motionless, as inconspicuous as an ordinary stone.But the black tail needle hides a strong poison, as long as it is contaminated with a little bit, the huge beast will fall down before it notices.
After solving Yang Qiu, Ma Chao's reply letter arrived within a few days.It's just taken apart.
Ruan Qing understood that this was Xia Houyuan telling herself that he had read the content.
In the letter, Ma Chao accepted Yang Qiu's surrender and made an appointment for the incident, which was approaching.
The fish is hooked.
Ruan Qing sent someone to call Yang Guhuai to see him.
When we met, he said bluntly, "I have sent a letter to Wei Gong about Yang Qiu's matter, and asked for credit for your master. If there is no accident, the reward order should be sent to your master's house soon."
Yang Guhuai saluted, "Thank you General for your love."
Ruan Qing didn't like Yang Guhuai's tricks, he said lightly, "The battle on the front line is serious, I can't stay here for long. You can wait here when you leave now, presumably your master will come here soon take office."
"Yes." Yang Guhuai nodded respectfully.
"The [-] Gu corpses, I will also take them away." Ruan Qing said.
Yang Guhuai suddenly looked up at Ruan Qing.
"I know you don't want to." Ruan Qing said, "Forget it, you will go to the school grounds with me, and you will know when we are introduced."
to the school grounds.Ruan Qing said, "You can summon all the Gu corpses."
Yang Guhuai took out the flute that never left him, brought it to his lips and played it, and the Gu corpses that were originally scattered in each tent came out and lined up neatly in front of them.
"Very good, you can already become an army." Ruan Qing said, "I think you have spent a lot of effort these years."
"Yang Guhuai." Ruan Qing called Yang Guhuai's name, looked straight ahead, and said, "You look good."
It's just a slight movement in my mind, and I thought secretly, 'disperse. '
Sure enough, all these Gu corpses went back.
Yang Guhuai watched in disbelief.
Obviously the other party didn't do anything.why is this...
He suddenly looked at Ruan Qing, and before he could ask anything, Ruan Qing said, "I've worked hard for you these years."
Yang Guhuai suddenly understood in his heart, and he couldn't help but questioned loudly, "This is what you planned early in the morning. You know that the refined Gu corpses must be under your control. That's why you are willing to give up the Gu worms in your hands. It is to let us Feeding Gu corpses and private soldiers for you!"
"These vomits will no longer obey your orders."
Ruan Qing turned her head and slowly looked at Yang Guhuai.His eyes were silent and almost empty, as if he had no emotion. What he said now was not discussing, but just stating a fact.
These eyes often smiled when they deceived Yang Qiu, but they never conveyed the truth when they looked closely.Now that there is finally no need to pretend anymore, the barrenness inside is quickly occupying every corner like crazy weeds.
Yang Guhuai looked at Ruan Qing in a daze.He remembered that when he saw this person for the first time, there was still a little light in those gentle eyes. In the face of everything, there was always a sense of confidence and calmness that was sure to win, and even hid a little. Persistence that will not give up until the goal is reached.
It has only been a few years now, and these eyes have been vicissitudes and dead silent, it seems that they can no longer see the vividness of living people, as if the dark clouds make up, and there is no starry night.
Looking into Ruan Qing's eyes, he forgot for a moment that he should be angry at being cheated into working for so many years.
"Thank you for waiting this time." Ruan Qing said, "After I leave, you can tell Yang Zhao that there is no need to refine these Gu corpses. Sima Hui has been dead for many years, and he alone can carve up the West." Liang, it's still a dream. Maybe Ma Chao's end in the future can remind you. If he guards this place safely, he can spend his life in peace and keep his children. If he insists on refining Gu corpses, I don't mind doing it again. Sit back and reap the rewards."
The deal is done, Yang Guhuai can only accept it.
"Yes."
"You take care."
Ruan Qing took pity on Yang Guhuai's bravery during the cooperation.But he knew that this person was loyal to Yang Zhao.So he doesn't poach people's corners.
Let's say goodbye today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see in the future.
The dark night covers all the undercurrents in the world.
Cao Zhang led his army to lie behind the hill, his eyes fixed on the fast marching on the road.
Thousands of soldiers and horses behind them all lowered their postures, like a pack of wolves hunting in the night, holding their breath and holding their breath, waiting for an order, fiercely biting the throats of their prey, letting the scalding blood water and moisten the dry soil of Xiliang.
The enemy marched by.
The shouts of killing suddenly sounded from the south, and the waves crashed against the shore from a distance, as if they were about to rush in.
The flickering flames swayed and danced in the dark night.
"rush!"
The troops of Ma Chao and Song Jian were surrounded.
The armies from all walks of life mixed together and fought chaotically.
A situation of rampant killings.Everyone gave up life and forgot to die, looking at their own eyes.No one noticed that a group of people in Song Jian's army fell to the ground inexplicably, mixed with the corpses.
The horse galloped crazily between the two counties, followed by a long procession, moving quickly, with a gust of wind passing by, bringing withered dry grass on both sides of the curved road.
The whole team was nearly thousands of people, but there was no sound, behind the night, they looked like ghosts and ghosts, with a strange appearance, like a dark soldier borrowing the way.Only a series of horseshoes sounded like compact drums, breaking the silence of the wilderness.
The howling wind from both sides scraped across the side of the face like a sharp blade, cold and sharp pain.Due to the use of the pure yang spiritual power in the Yuan Ling to use the body's meridian to display it, it is sometimes held against the yin energy in the body, and tearing pain spreads all over the body.The cold sweat from the pain slipped from the forehead to the tip of the nose and the cheeks, and was blown through by the cold wind. Ruan Qing only relied on this coolness to stay awake.
He frowned, bit his lower lip, and looked restrained.The blood overflowing from the corner of his lips slid down his chin, dripping down, and wet the horse's back.But he didn't dare to stop, and rushed to Fanghan as fast as he could.
Ma Chao and Song Jian fought all night, and finally led dozens of horsemen to escape in a hurry at Pingming.
Cao Zhang led his troops to join Xia Houyuan.The sky turned fish-belly white, and the sky was still a large grayish blue.On a messy battlefield, the victorious army is cleaning up.
The sun climbed into the sky, and the holy light spread to the land of China, gently brushing over every inch of undulating mountains and rivers.After the dark night and the slaughtered battlefield, the light finally ushered in.
Cao Zhang pressed the sword in one hand and held the cloak behind him in the other. He stepped on the blood-soaked ground and came to Xia Houyuan. He was still panting, wiped his dirty cheeks with his hand, and said, "I hate being killed by Ma Chao." escaped."
"Ma Chao is very skilled in martial arts, if you want to capture him in a chaotic army, it will take some effort." Xia Houyuan comforted, "Don't worry, our army won a big victory today, Ma Chao is no more than a grasshopper after autumn, let him jump around for a few more days .”
Cao Zhang seemed to be a little bit unwilling, but he didn't continue, and changed his subject, "Send someone to Linjing to send a letter to the governor."
"Naturally." Xia Houyuan said, "I don't know what the situation of the governor is now. However, Yang Qiu's rebels have not yet arrived, and the governor has already succeeded. If the governor hadn't gone alone and left all the troops behind, I wouldn't have Ma Chao, who was killed by such sufficient troops, could not care about each other."
Two days later, a pawn rushed into the big tent and said to Xia Houyuan who was discussing with Cao Zhang how to advance, "General, the governor of Lintao led an army to arrest Ma Chao and Song Jian, and they are asking to see him outside the camp."
The two were stunned and looked at each other.
"Inspector of Lintao?" Xia Houyuan asked uncertainly, and then said to the pawn, "Come in, please."
Not long after, the big tent was opened, and the governor of Lintao came to pay his respects, "I have seen General Xiahou."
Xia Houyuan laughed and said, "It's a great achievement for the governor to capture the thief today. After returning, Yuan will play the role of the emperor and ask for credit for you."
"Thank you, General." The governor of Lintao smiled wryly, "But this villain dare not be greedy for credit. The two men were captured thanks to the strategy of the governor of Pingxi. Longxi County has been controlled by Ma Chao and Song Jian for a long time, and the generals of the cities are forced by the opponent's situation. I have no choice but to submit. Today, the governor of the metropolis makes the subordinate officials to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, how dare the subordinate officials pretend to claim meritorious deeds again."
Shocked, Xia Houyuan looked at Cao Zhang, who also looked blank, knowing that he didn't know Ruan Qing's idea.
He first appeased the governor of Lintao, and asked people to take him down to entertain him, and then ordered Ma Chao and Song Jian to be guarded strictly, so that they would be escorted to Beijing for questioning in the future.
After all this was done, another pawn said that there was a messenger from the governor of the Hanhan.
Xia Houyuan said to Cao Zhang in surprise, "Isn't he in Linjing? Why did he go to Fanghan again?"
Cao Zhang shook his head, "The governor never told me, and my nephew doesn't know why."
"Bring it in." Xia Houyuan said.
When the envoy came in to salute, he took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Xia Houyuan, and said, "The governor asked the villain to ask the general, can the two thieves Ma and Song be captured and sent to the general's account?"
Xia Houyuan quickly read the letter with three or two eyes.
In the letter, Ruan Qing said that she was dealing with the remnants of Song Jian in Fanghan now, and she would not go back until a few days later, and that all parts of Longxi County were waiting for the wind, so Xia Houyuan didn't have to worry about it.
In addition, Ma Chao and Song Jian have been in Xiliang for many years, and there may be remnants of the party. It is better to secretly poison each other and let the other party die on the way. They only said that they were injured in the battle and died of illness on the way.Anyway, their crimes will undoubtedly lead to death, and Cao Cao will not blame him if he knows it.
Shaking the letter, Xia Houyuan asked the messenger like a ghost, "Linjing is nearly two counties away from Fuhan, thousands of miles away, and he just dealt with Yang Qiu, how did he get there! Song Jian has been entrenched in Fanghan for decades , he didn't bring any soldiers, how could he occupy it so quickly!"
The messenger replied, "The governor suddenly appeared in Fanghan two nights ago. He brought with him an unknown number of soldiers, and for some reason a group of soldiers appeared in the city as internal support. The internal and external cooperation will occupy Fanghan."
He carefully watched Xia Houyuan's expression, and continued, "The governor asked the general to act according to what was said in the letter, lest, lest..."
The courier frowned and said with great effort, "Wildfire, wildfire... endless, spring breeze... spring breeze blows and regenerates."
After speaking, he seemed to be relieved, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "The governor still has a letter to give to the second son."
"Me too?" Cao Zhang pointed at himself.He stepped forward to snatch the letter taken out by the messenger and opened it to read.
Xia Houyuan stared at Cao Zhang closely, and saw that the other party's brows were frowning tightly, and his palms trembled slightly.
The content of the letter is translated as follows,
Spring is here, and everything is revived. After the dormancy of winter, the grass is growing and the warblers are flying, and it is a good time to mobilize troops.The second son can't catch up with the young boys in Yecheng who are enjoying the Qushui Liushang. They are going on an outing. Would you be interested in taking a trip to Yizhou with me?If you are interested, please bring your troops to Chen Cang to join Qing. If the tenth day of this month has not arrived, Qing will have to act on his own.
In addition, this matter must be hidden from Xia Houyuan, he is cautious, if he knows, he will stop it and report it to Duke Wei.When Wei Gong ordered the recall, Qing's plan would come to naught.We can tell them after we take down Hanzhong County, so they might be willing to let us continue to attack Chengdu in the south.And send troops to support it.
As for how to hide it, you have to find a way.You can't do this well, and you don't need it anymore.
Dear Second Young Master, you have to make a decision quickly.
"How?" Xia Houyuan asked.
"The governor is really refreshing." Cao Zhang blushed, and his eyes were shining brightly.
Xia Houyuan was even more puzzled, and he wanted to take a look.Cao Zhang hurriedly covered his chest, "This is a private letter from the governor to my nephew. The official governor wrote it to my uncle."
Xia Houyuan twitched the corner of his mouth.Why is it that Ruan Qing and him belong to the same generation, but the younger generation likes it even more!
"it is good."
Now that the culprit has been caught, other states and counties will surrender without a fight.Xia Houyuan dealt with the post-war affairs well, wrote a letter to Ruan Qing, and returned to Chang'an after rectifying the troops.
Cao Zhang sent people to spread rumors in the army, saying that Ma Chaoyu's party wanted to gather in Sanguan and enter Chang'an along the Wei River.He asked Xia Houyuan for orders to go and pay.
It's just a bunch of fish that slipped through the net.Xia Houyuan knew that Cao Cao intended to sharpen Cao Zhang, so he let him go.
Cao Zhang and Xia Houyuan separated halfway, and rushed to Chencang on the ninth day of the lunar new year.
When he first arrived, he realized that Ruan Qing was alone, and he was not given any contact information. For a while, he didn't know how to contact Ruan Qing.
But fortunately, he didn't struggle for too long, and Ruan Qing came to the door by herself.
"Qing thought that the second son could not wait to return to Yecheng to ask Wei Gong for his credit, but he didn't expect the son to arrive so early." Ruan Qing said with a smile after seeing Cao Zhang.
"What the governor said in the letter makes people excited, how can Zhang be willing to go back." Cao Zhang looked at Ruan Qing eagerly, and asked, "What does the governor want next?"
Ruan Qing saw the map spread out on the case, and smiled slightly, "Based on the reason you gave to General Xiahou for the division of troops, don't you understand why Qing wants to gather troops in Chencang?"
In fact, Cao Zhang already had a rough idea in mind, and he asked, "Does the governor want to use Wudu County?"
Ruan Qing folded her arms across her chest, pointing her arms with her fingertips, glanced at the map, and said the route that she had pondered over and over again in her heart, "Qing wants to enter Hechi from Chencang along the Dasan Pass Road to Yangping Pass, and then Hanzhong can be obtained at your fingertips." .”
Cao Zhang saw that Ruan Qing said so smoothly, and asked, "The governor has long had a rift in his heart. This time, most of the reason for Pingxi is because he wants to drive Yizhou for a long time."
Ruan Qing opened her arms, looking down on the world with arrogance, "Decades ago, the warring states were divided, and now Duke Wei lives in the north, and Sun Quan guards the south. There is also a leader of Yizhou Wuming. If Yizhou is pacified, Duke Wei can send an army From the Central Plains to the south, another army from Yizhou was sent to the east of Jiangdong. At that time, it was difficult for Jiangdong to fight alone, and sooner or later it would be unified."
Ruan Qing didn't say it directly, but what he said was equivalent to admitting to Cao Zhang in disguise that although he lived in the capital for a long time, in his heart, he had already described the territory of the world countless times, and the land of Kyushu was hidden in his chest.
"Second son." Ruan Qing looked at Cao Zhang, with cold and solemn eyes, and he said, "Wudu County has been occupied by the Di people for a long time. This time the army will be blocked. I know that because I am not here, it is impossible to do my best. The army will be handed over to you. Do you have the confidence to lead all the generals under your command, together with Qing, to conquer Wudu and go straight to Xichuan?"
Cao Zhang subconsciously stopped his body straight, "Of course." He also said very seriously, "I would like to listen to the command of the governor, conquer Wudu, and recover Xichuan."
Gu corpse is Ruan Qing's trump card.He first hid Yang Zhao's feed and what he got from Song Jiana in Sizhong Mountain.This mountain is located at the junction of Hanyang County and Wudu County.The terrain is dangerous and inaccessible.
The Di people heard the movement and sent people to block the road.Resist Ruan Qing's attack.
Soldiers are more expensive than resourceful.Ruan Qing made careful calculations, and Cao Zhang was willing to work hard, he knew how to train soldiers, and there was no one under his command who was not dedicated. In just half a month, five thousand soldiers and horses cleared the way, and the enemy troops surrendered all the way from Chencang to Dasan close.
Di Wang Dou Mao's more than 1 men were unwilling to surrender because of their danger.
So the two armies fought again in Hechi County, Ruan Qing transferred the Gu corpses and went all the way south.He and Cao Zhang attacked in the east, and the Gu corpses sneaked in from the north. They attacked twice, and King Di was defeated like a mountain.
With an order, Ruan Qing immediately killed him and bloodbathed Hechi.How many souls of the undead returned to the underworld, and for a while the world was like purgatory, with corpses everywhere, and the crows lingered in the sky for half a month, refusing to disperse, and the darkness was overwhelming, like long-lasting yin condensed and rising in the blue sky, hoarse and hoarse, a reminder of the impermanence of hell call.
Walking through the blood-soaked soil and looking at a piece of skeleton, it is gloomy and very depressing, but the new green on the tree adds some freshness to the scene full of death.
He thought of the fourth year of Chuping, when Cao Song was killed by Tao Qian, and Cao Cao wanted to massacre Xuzhou City in a fit of anger.At that time, he knelt down on the ground in front of the dead, biting the corner of Cao Cao's clothes with his teeth, begging bitterly, and begged for life for the people of Xuzhou. He even made a gesture to wipe his neck with his sword to move Cao Cao.
Up to now, he has also become a person who does not bat an eyelid and washes a whole county with a single word.
Now he vaguely understands why Cao Cao massacred Xuzhou City angrily back then.Cao Cao wanted to frighten the states and counties of Xuzhou, and let the other side surrender, so as to save more people and save more troops...
The people in Hechi are so innocent, but now he has to kill them too.
The Di people occupied Wudu County for too long.He needs to kill once, to completely scare them.Use the blood of Hechi and the head of King Di to make them surrender.When he wants to drive Yizhou for a long time, he will never have to worry about it. After he wants to leave, the coercion of the sword in his hand still hangs over their heads, making them belong to them forever.
After continuous wars, the soldiers under his command needed to be rectified, so Ruan Qing ordered the army to settle in Hechi for a few days. He stared at the map every day and remained silent.
One day Cao Zhang was free, so he came to his tent, said a few words, and talked about the rumors in the army recently, "I don't know where I heard it. It has spread in the city, and many people in the camp are talking about it. Say On the night when our army attacked Dou Mao, an army appeared in the north, and I don't know how many. There were about ten thousand people, and they attacked Dou Mao's rear army. Otherwise, Dou Mao would not have been defeated so quickly. .But for some reason, after the war, the army disappeared.
Now people say that the governor dared to lead such a small number of people to march across Wudu, there must be ghosts and gods, and that night, it was also the ghost soldiers called by the governor to help our army win so quickly. "
Ruan Qing didn't raise her eyelids, she kept sliding her fingertips among the cities and counties on the map, and said calmly, "Do you believe it?"
"I..." Cao Zhang said, "I didn't believe it at first, but Dou Mao's men were elite soldiers for a long time, and our army was exhausted from fighting for a long time. We were able to win so quickly that day..."
After hearing this, Ruan Qing couldn't help laughing, looked at Cao Zhang, shook her head and sighed, "My good son, you are too young, there are no ghosts and gods to help you in this world, but the layout in advance. If the plan is good, it will be God The Buddha can't do anything to you."
Cao Zhang regained his energy and continued to ask, "How to explain the sudden appearance of the army? But the soldiers borrowed from other places by the governor? But why are they not seen after the victory? Even the borrowed soldiers should be able to see a few talents."
Ruan Qing continued to shake her head with a smile, and said leisurely, "Don't say it, don't say it."
"The governor is hiding like this again." Cao Zhang was a little dissatisfied. "In the previous crusade against Ma Chao, the governor kept silent about how to capture Yang Qiu and how to appear in Fanghan, and he is still the same now. Students know that the governor uses soldiers like gods, and now he speaks out. Let others know what's going on, so that they can admire a little bit, and the students will learn a lot."
This is a short-lived activity, so there is nothing to admire.Ruan Qing sighed bitterly.
"Are you all busy in the camp? Come to Qing for fun." Ruan Qing said, "Order to go down and send troops tomorrow to Yangping Pass."
When Cao Zhang heard that the army was going to be mobilized, he immediately forgot what he had just said, "It may be possible to go to Yizhou. The governor doesn't know that the brothers have been gearing up for a few days, so I will go right away."
Yang Guhuai put the knife back into its sheath and followed closely.He could not help being startled when he saw the soldiers surrounding the house clearly.
Although Nangu had no intention of being with ordinary people, after all, he had been raising them for many years, and he could tell at a glance that these so-called soldiers were Gu corpses.

Yang Guhuai suddenly felt bad.At this moment, he felt as if there was a cold blade hanging on his neck, and he didn't know when it would fall.

"You take care."
Ruan Qing took pity on Yang Guhuai's bravery during the cooperation.But he knew that this person was loyal to Yang Zhao.So he doesn't poach people's corners.

Cao Zhang seemed to be a little bit unwilling, but he didn't continue, and changed his subject, "Send someone to Linjing to send a letter to the governor."
"Naturally." Xia Houyuan said, "I don't know what the situation of the governor is now. However, Yang Qiu's rebels have not yet arrived, and the governor has already succeeded. If the governor hadn't gone alone and left all the troops behind, I wouldn't have Ma Chao, who was killed by such sufficient troops, could not care about each other."
Two days later, a pawn rushed into the big tent and said to Xia Houyuan who was discussing with Cao Zhang how to advance, "General, the governor of Lintao led an army to arrest Ma Chao and Song Jian, and they are asking to see him outside the camp."
The two were stunned and looked at each other.
"Inspector of Lintao?" Xia Houyuan asked uncertainly, and then said to the pawn, "Come in, please."
Not long after, the big tent was opened, and the governor of Lintao came to pay his respects, "I have seen General Xiahou."
Xia Houyuan laughed and said, "It's a great achievement for the governor to capture the thief today. After returning, Yuan will play the role of the emperor and ask for credit for you."
"Thank you, General." The governor of Lintao smiled wryly, "But this villain dare not be greedy for credit. The two men were captured thanks to the strategy of the governor of Pingxi. Longxi County has been controlled by Ma Chao and Song Jian for a long time, and the generals of the cities are forced by the opponent's situation. I have no choice but to submit. Today, the governor of the metropolis makes the subordinate officials to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, how dare the subordinate officials pretend to claim meritorious deeds again."
Shocked, Xia Houyuan looked at Cao Zhang, who also looked blank, knowing that he didn't know Ruan Qing's idea.
He first appeased the governor of Lintao, and asked people to take him down to entertain him, and then ordered Ma Chao and Song Jian to be guarded strictly, so that they would be escorted to Beijing for questioning in the future.
After all this was done, another pawn said that there was a messenger from the governor of the Hanhan.
Xia Houyuan said to Cao Zhang in surprise, "Isn't he in Linjing? Why did he go to Fanghan again?"
Cao Zhang shook his head, "The governor never told me, and my nephew doesn't know why."
"Bring it in." Xia Houyuan said.
When the envoy came in to salute, he took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Xia Houyuan, and said, "The governor asked the villain to ask the general, can the two thieves Ma and Song be captured and sent to the general's account?"
Xia Houyuan quickly read the letter with three or two eyes.
In the letter, Ruan Qing said that she was dealing with the remnants of Song Jian in Fanghan now, and she would not go back until a few days later, and that all parts of Longxi County were waiting for the wind, so Xia Houyuan didn't have to worry about it.
In addition, Ma Chao and Song Jian have been in Xiliang for many years, and there may be remnants of the party. It is better to secretly poison each other and let the other party die on the way. They only said that they were injured in the battle and died of illness on the way.Anyway, their crimes will undoubtedly lead to death, and Cao Cao will not blame him if he knows it.
Shaking the letter, Xia Houyuan asked the messenger like a ghost, "Linjing is nearly two counties away from Fuhan, thousands of miles away, and he just dealt with Yang Qiu, how did he get there! Song Jian has been entrenched in Fanghan for decades , he didn't bring any soldiers, how could he occupy it so quickly!"
The messenger replied, "The governor suddenly appeared in Fanghan two nights ago. He brought with him an unknown number of soldiers, and for some reason a group of soldiers appeared in the city as internal support. The internal and external cooperation will occupy Fanghan."
He carefully watched Xia Houyuan's expression, and continued, "The governor asked the general to act according to what was said in the letter, lest, lest..."
The courier frowned and said with great effort, "Wildfire, wildfire... endless, spring breeze... spring breeze blows and regenerates."
After speaking, he seemed to be relieved, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "The governor still has a letter to give to the second son."
"Me too?" Cao Zhang pointed at himself.He stepped forward to snatch the letter taken out by the messenger and opened it to read.
Xia Houyuan stared at Cao Zhang closely, and saw that the other party's brows were frowning tightly, and his palms trembled slightly.
The content of the letter is translated as follows,
Spring is here, and everything is revived. After the dormancy of winter, the grass is growing and the warblers are flying, and it is a good time to mobilize troops.The second son can't catch up with the young boys in Yecheng who are enjoying the Qushui Liushang. They are going on an outing. Would you be interested in taking a trip to Yizhou with me?If you are interested, please bring your troops to Chen Cang to join Qing. If the tenth day of this month has not arrived, Qing will have to act on his own.
In addition, this matter must be hidden from Xia Houyuan, he is cautious, if he knows, he will stop it and report it to Duke Wei.When Wei Gong ordered the recall, Qing's plan would come to naught.We can tell them after we take down Hanzhong County, so they might be willing to let us continue to attack Chengdu in the south.And send troops to support it.
As for how to hide it, you have to find a way.You can't do this well, and you don't need it anymore.
Dear Second Young Master, you have to make a decision quickly.
"How?" Xia Houyuan asked.
"The governor is really refreshing." Cao Zhang blushed, and his eyes were shining brightly.
Xia Houyuan was even more puzzled, and he wanted to take a look.Cao Zhang hurriedly covered his chest, "This is a private letter from the governor to my nephew. The official governor wrote it to my uncle."
Xia Houyuan twitched the corner of his mouth.Why is it that Ruan Qing and him belong to the same generation, but the younger generation likes it even more!
"it is good."
Now that the culprit has been caught, other states and counties will surrender without a fight.Xia Houyuan dealt with the post-war affairs well, wrote a letter to Ruan Qing, and returned to Chang'an after rectifying the troops.
Cao Zhang sent people to spread rumors in the army, saying that Ma Chaoyu's party wanted to gather in Sanguan and enter Chang'an along the Wei River.He asked Xia Houyuan for orders to go and pay.
It's just a bunch of fish that slipped through the net.Xia Houyuan knew that Cao Cao intended to sharpen Cao Zhang, so he let him go.
Cao Zhang and Xia Houyuan separated halfway, and rushed to Chencang on the ninth day of the lunar new year.
When he first arrived, he realized that Ruan Qing was alone, and he was not given any contact information. For a while, he didn't know how to contact Ruan Qing.
But fortunately, he didn't struggle for too long, and Ruan Qing came to the door by herself.
"Qing thought that the second son could not wait to return to Yecheng to ask Wei Gong for his credit, but he didn't expect the son to arrive so early." Ruan Qing said with a smile after seeing Cao Zhang.
"What the governor said in the letter makes people excited, how can Zhang be willing to go back." Cao Zhang looked at Ruan Qing eagerly, and asked, "What does the governor want next?"
Ruan Qing saw the map spread out on the case, and smiled slightly, "Based on the reason you gave to General Xiahou for the division of troops, don't you understand why Qing wants to gather troops in Chencang?"
In fact, Cao Zhang already had a rough idea in mind, and he asked, "Does the governor want to use Wudu County?"
Ruan Qing folded her arms across her chest, pointing her arms with her fingertips, glanced at the map, and said the route that she had pondered over and over again in her heart, "Qing wants to enter Hechi from Chencang along the Dasan Pass Road to Yangping Pass, and then Hanzhong can be obtained at your fingertips." .”
Cao Zhang saw that Ruan Qing said so smoothly, and asked, "The governor has long had a rift in his heart. This time, most of the reason for Pingxi is because he wants to drive Yizhou for a long time."
Ruan Qing opened her arms, looking down on the world with arrogance, "Decades ago, the warring states were divided, and now Duke Wei lives in the north, and Sun Quan guards the south. There is also a leader of Yizhou Wuming. If Yizhou is pacified, Duke Wei can send an army From the Central Plains to the south, another army from Yizhou was sent to the east of Jiangdong. At that time, it was difficult for Jiangdong to fight alone, and sooner or later it would be unified."
Ruan Qing didn't say it directly, but what he said was equivalent to admitting to Cao Zhang in disguise that although he lived in the capital for a long time, in his heart, he had already described the territory of the world countless times, and the land of Kyushu was hidden in his chest.
"Second son." Ruan Qing looked at Cao Zhang, with cold and solemn eyes, and he said, "Wudu County has been occupied by the Di people for a long time. This time the army will be blocked. I know that because I am not here, it is impossible to do my best. The army will be handed over to you. Do you have the confidence to lead all the generals under your command, together with Qing, to conquer Wudu and go straight to Xichuan?"
Cao Zhang subconsciously stopped his body straight, "Of course." He also said very seriously, "I would like to listen to the command of the governor, conquer Wudu, and recover Xichuan."
Gu corpse is Ruan Qing's trump card.He first hid Yang Zhao's feed and what he got from Song Jiana in Sizhong Mountain.This mountain is located at the junction of Hanyang County and Wudu County.The terrain is dangerous and inaccessible.
The Di people heard the movement and sent people to block the road.Resist Ruan Qing's attack.
Soldiers are more expensive than resourceful.Ruan Qing made careful calculations, and Cao Zhang was willing to work hard, he knew how to train soldiers, and there was no one under his command who was not dedicated. In just half a month, five thousand soldiers and horses cleared the way, and the enemy troops surrendered all the way from Chencang to Dasan close.
Di Wang Dou Mao's more than 1 men were unwilling to surrender because of their danger.
So the two armies fought again in Hechi County, Ruan Qing transferred the Gu corpses and went all the way south.He and Cao Zhang attacked in the east, and the Gu corpses sneaked in from the north. They attacked twice, and King Di was defeated like a mountain.
With an order, Ruan Qing immediately killed him and bloodbathed Hechi.How many souls of the undead returned to the underworld, and for a while the world was like purgatory, with corpses everywhere, and the crows lingered in the sky for half a month, refusing to disperse, and the darkness was overwhelming, like long-lasting yin condensed and rising in the blue sky, hoarse and hoarse, a reminder of the impermanence of hell call.
Walking through the blood-soaked soil and looking at a piece of skeleton, it is gloomy and very depressing, but the new green on the tree adds some freshness to the scene full of death.
He thought of the fourth year of Chuping, when Cao Song was killed by Tao Qian, and Cao Cao wanted to massacre Xuzhou City in a fit of anger.At that time, he knelt down on the ground in front of the dead, biting the corner of Cao Cao's clothes with his teeth, begging bitterly, and begged for life for the people of Xuzhou. He even made a gesture to wipe his neck with his sword to move Cao Cao.
Up to now, he has also become a person who does not bat an eyelid and washes a whole county with a single word.
Now he vaguely understands why Cao Cao massacred Xuzhou City angrily back then.Cao Cao wanted to frighten the states and counties of Xuzhou, and let the other side surrender, so as to save more people and save more troops...
The people in Hechi are so innocent, but now he has to kill them too.
The Di people occupied Wudu County for too long.He needs to kill once, to completely scare them.Use the blood of Hechi and the head of King Di to make them surrender.When he wants to drive Yizhou for a long time, he will never have to worry about it. After he wants to leave, the coercion of the sword in his hand still hangs over their heads, making them belong to them forever.
After continuous wars, the soldiers under his command needed to be rectified, so Ruan Qing ordered the army to settle in Hechi for a few days. He stared at the map every day and remained silent.
One day Cao Zhang was free, so he came to his tent, said a few words, and talked about the rumors in the army recently, "I don't know where I heard it. It has spread in the city, and many people in the camp are talking about it. Say On the night when our army attacked Dou Mao, an army appeared in the north, and I don't know how many. There were about ten thousand people, and they attacked Dou Mao's rear army. Otherwise, Dou Mao would not have been defeated so quickly. .But for some reason, after the war, the army disappeared.
Now people say that the governor dared to lead such a small number of people to march across Wudu, there must be ghosts and gods, and that night, it was also the ghost soldiers called by the governor to help our army win so quickly. "
Ruan Qing didn't raise her eyelids, she kept sliding her fingertips among the cities and counties on the map, and said calmly, "Do you believe it?"
"I..." Cao Zhang said, "I didn't believe it at first, but Dou Mao's men were elite soldiers for a long time, and our army was exhausted from fighting for a long time. We were able to win so quickly that day..."
After hearing this, Ruan Qing couldn't help laughing, looked at Cao Zhang, shook her head and sighed, "My good son, you are too young, there are no ghosts and gods to help you in this world, but the layout in advance. If the plan is good, it will be God The Buddha can't do anything to you."
Cao Zhang regained his energy and continued to ask, "How to explain the sudden appearance of the army? But the soldiers borrowed from other places by the governor? But why are they not seen after the victory? Even the borrowed soldiers should be able to see a few talents."
Ruan Qing continued to shake her head with a smile, and said leisurely, "Don't say it, don't say it."
"The governor is hiding like this again." Cao Zhang was a little dissatisfied. "In the previous crusade against Ma Chao, the governor kept silent about how to capture Yang Qiu and how to appear in Fanghan, and he is still the same now. Students know that the governor uses soldiers like gods, and now he speaks out. Let others know what's going on, so that they can admire a little bit, and the students will learn a lot."
This is a short-lived activity, so there is nothing to admire.Ruan Qing sighed bitterly.
"Are you all busy in the camp? Come to Qing for fun." Ruan Qing said, "Order to go down and send troops tomorrow to Yangping Pass."
When Cao Zhang heard that the army was going to be mobilized, he immediately forgot what he had just said, "It may be possible to go to Yizhou. The governor doesn't know that the brothers have been gearing up for a few days, so I will go right away."
