Chapter 455: The night is quiet, the conspiracy is condensed
The night is quiet, and the clear moon hides behind a cloud.
In Yi County, houses are lined up one after another, and the windows of the people in each house have already turned off. The sound of horse hooves can be heard from the other side of the city wall in the black. The figures of horse riding through the few streets, rushed to the government office, and then dismounted and ran inside.
In the backyard, the lights in the study were not yet extinguished. The Lingqi who came over sent the message to the door. Then the latter quietly pushed open the door and handed it in. The night squeezed into the room. The lights swayed for a moment. Wen Chou took the message and opened it and took a look. While waving his hand, he asked his guard to go down. He was sturdy, with a bandage wrapped around his chest and arms. A cool wind blew in. He tightened the robe that covered his body.
The air was filled with the smell of herbs.
"Cough..." The rows of self on Su Bo made him cough violently, and his hands trembled slightly when he closed his eyes and his hands were a little bit acceptable. The content was somewhat acceptable, while the other part could not be digested.
"What kind of battle did Han Meng fight... In the past, I reminded him repeatedly not to underestimate Gongsun Zhi... I thought that the other party would not have the possibility of fighting again after fighting for a night... After defeat in this battle, what the lord told me...a"
Wen Chou suddenly shouted loudly, and his huge punch hit the desk table. He stood up and kicked the long desk down. The bamboo slips and medicine bowl rolled to the ground with a rush. The guard outside quickly pushed the door in, but he shouted: "Get out!" The door closed again.
The bronze lamppost standing on the ground shook lightly, illuminating the tall figure on the wall. Wen Chou's eyes were covered with bloodshot. The pain in his chest had not subsided, but his mind was buzzing... The fact that Han Meng was chasing but was killed by someone made him feel urge to vomit blood. The white wolf on the opposite side was arrogant and wild, and the cavalry commanded by him, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu were sent out in an unconventional manner, which made him feel a little unreal.
"The generals at the top of the city should be wary of Gongsun Zhi's people stealing the city at night. The four gates and the streets also strengthen patrols to prevent spies from entering the city from opening the city gate... In addition, they sent a fast cavalry out of the city overnight to inform the lord about the matter here..."
He opened the door and ordered several of his confidant guards around him. As soon as he walked down the stone steps, Wen Chou whispered: "...Tell the lord that Wen Chou failed his high hopes and had no choice but to defend the city to the death... until his body was incomplete!"
At this moment, the moon is cold and the stars are shining everywhere.
Thirty miles west of the suburbs of the city, bonfires were lit on the ground, and large-scale wars were coming to an end. People who were chasing from afar also returned one after another this night. The bodies, soldiers, and blood were intertwined and piled up. The figures of people cleaning the battlefield were still walking in the dim flames. The soldiers in charge of the wounded seized time to help bandage the doctors. The voices were noisy, but the soldiers who did not patrol and guard did not relax in victory.
The guard wolf cavalry took over the patrolman and ran on the field with his bow. He occasionally stopped, his eyes in black staring at the possible movements of the city on the east side, and then continued to patrol.
In the military camp, near the tent, the sound of water rushes over the bald man's naked body, and the blood scatters under his feet. Gao Sheng wipes away the blood stains on his face, and shows a grim smile with his crooked nose and mouth. He reaches out and scoops a spoonful of water into the wooden barrel.
"Haha... it's great! I'll fight with the leader, which is more comfortable than guarding the city. You don't know. I'll chase the cavalry all the way, and he'll almost run to Zhongshan."
The people around were all rough men in the army. No one felt it was wrong to show their whole body to take a shower. A few steps away, Hua Xiong was also naked. His muscles were tangled and solid. The soldiers rubbed their backs were already exhausted and sweating profusely. He asked the other party to increase their strength from time to time, while leaning on the knife, he took a knife to expose Gao Sheng's shortness without hesitation.
"Fuck, here you are at least one or two hundred miles away from Zhongshan. I had a big fight last night. It would be great if I could defeat Han Meng. Can you still ride a horse and run there? Isn't it really a big deal to think that horses are not tired?"
"none of your business!"
"Come on... I'll make a gesture to see if you have made progress. Take three swords first, and I'll admit that you've chased Zhongshan."
"Get out, go find that guy Pan Feng..."
Not far away, the big waist and round body squatting in the corner, scrubbing, trembling slightly, stretching his neck and looking over: "...Who called me just now?"
The soldiers taking a shower around laughed.
The vision turned ahead, and more figures walked around, some surrounded the fire and talked about war. It was a huge excitement and fatigue crawling on their faces. Some of them were still joking with people for a second, and they curled up next to the fire and fell asleep with weapons. Then, Sima General in the army, who was still joking in excitement, rushed to bed.
"Just just ordered that you will drive to Yecheng early tomorrow morning. Please hurry up and rest so that you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
"Sima, why don't you beat Wen Chou in Yi County?"
"I don't know this, but the lord doesn't say it, no one dares to guess randomly. Okay, go and rest immediately. This is a military order!"
The soldiers next to the fire stood up with a bang, and the dozing soldiers stood up in shock, with a rainbow of momentum and a loud voice: "Yes!" The troops from other directions looked at this side, made a loud joke, and then were driven to the tent by their own army Sima.
From leaving the pass to Changping, Youzhou, and then pushing Yang all the way. The speed of the wolf cavalry caused the infantry to suffer a lot. The speed of the breakthrough made them and even a group of infantry generals worried that there would be problems with the rhythm of the attack. Fortunately, most of them were veterans of the White Horse General. Even though several years have passed, their physical fitness is not much worse, and they have never abandoned the skills of wielding a knife to kill people.
The night was as quiet as water, and the sound of the wind slowly blew across the other side of the military camp. The captured soldiers in Jizhou were concentrating on the school grounds. The number had risen to tens of thousands. They were some shirtless, some were slightly better and they were wrapped in thin single clothes. Looking at the white wolf flag waving above, there was a man tied under the flagpole.
The young man holding a painting halberd captured a very heavy enemy general for the first time when he entered the battle. Even though he had always been calm and introverted, his arms holding the halberd pole were trembling slightly.
Father...Mother...Zhongda will soon revive the Sima family...He thought.
"The young general is very good at martial arts, he must be a famous school." Han Meng, who was tied to the flagpole, had bruised face, and bloodshot on his mouth. The armor on his body was stripped off when he was captured and returned to the military camp. Now he is naked and his hair is scattered, and he is so embarrassed that he does not look like the Jizhou general who has been showing off for a while.
"...What way out can the young general be surrendered to the thief Gongsun Zhi? Although this person is behind the white horse general, he eventually grew up in the Xiongnu horse shed on the grassland and had acted in bandits. No matter how powerful he is, his background is not good, so he is hard to achieve great things. My lord Yuan Shao is the descendant of the fourth generation and third king. He has landed in the four states. He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and generals alone. He has 200,000 elite soldiers alone against Cao Cao... Why don't the young general go back with me and throw himself into the lord's side to do something big."
On the school ground, there were many figures walking with a knife. Sima Yi looked down with a painting halberd. He heard the other party's words and moved slightly. The fire shone through half of his face. He whispered: "Sitting in four states, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and generals, it's so majestic. Unfortunately, I don't like him."
At this time, the handsome tent came over like that, and the tall figure strode towards this side surrounded by wolf riders. Sima Yi bowed with his painting halberd, patted his shoulder, and said, "It's a good job!" Han Meng, who was dragging his cloak and stopped on the flagpole, stared at the other party quietly for a while, walked away with his hands behind his back.
"After this year...there will be no more of the fourth generation and the third generation."
In his shock, Han Meng looked at the figure with his back facing away from him, gritted his teeth and wanted to refute. After struggling for a few times, he finally calmed down and wanted to listen to the other party continue.
"... Yuan Shao privately invited Dong Zhuo to Beijing for his family's name in He Jin. He is right in this regard. I, Gongsun Zhi, admired it, but there are many ways, why did he choose this path? Yuan Shao had the opportunity to invite the emperor to Yecheng and chose to give up. I admire even more!"
Han Meng raised his head: "Since I admire you, why did Governor Gongsun go against my lord everywhere? Why not follow the tide and be a minister who follows the dragon? It would be better than being defeated and killed and affecting the family."
"Deadly defeated?" Gongsun Zhi turned around and laughed at him. Dian Wei and Li Ke laughed out loud. Sima Yi looked at them on the other side and had to cooperate and smiled. The figure who turned around turned around and walked to Han Meng and stopped: "...It's too early to be defeated and killed. It's not certain who will die. General Han... You know that I have been making trouble for Yuan Shao, and I will tear him down with blood and flesh. Along the way, he won't let me go, and it's even more impossible for me to let him go. 200,000 elite soldiers are indeed difficult to fight, but I have to fight before I know..."
"I'm not afraid to tell you clearly... I'll take the head on Yuan Shao's neck! No matter whether you surrender or not, just open your eyes and watch it. How did I cut off his head? I'll take 200,000 people too!"
After the words were silent for a moment, Gongsun Zhi looked at him and walked back slowly: "To tell you the truth... I can break through your three lines of defense all the way, but in fact... Wen Chou is my person..."
Han Meng raised his head, with a shocked expression... The next moment, he laughed: "Gongsun Zhi, only you, a horse thief, can think of such a shallow plan of disagreement, let alone I am still a prisoner, what's the use of telling me!"
"It's because you are a prisoner that I can tell you with confidence."
The steps moving forward stopped for a moment, Gongsun Zhi turned his face slightly to look at him: "A few years ago, Yuan Shao surrounded me. Think about it, General Wen was able to take down my family at that time, but why didn't he do that? He was close to less than ten cavalry, and broke through more than ten levels in succession from Youzhou and reached here... Have you never thought about these?"
Behind, his smile was stiff on his face. Han Meng was hit by the other party's words and fell silent. He stared at the back that was walking away, his brows getting deeper and deeper. At one moment, he looked towards Yixian east, and his expression became a little dazed. Less than ten thousand cavalry could fight from Youzhou to Jizhou, unless there were really spies... and still the commander.
...
The night wind was sweeping, leaving behind confusing and frightened Gongsun Zhi returned to the tent, turned around and whispered to the scribe who followed him: "Find an opportunity to let this person escape. You can do your own tricks, but remember not to let Han Meng realize that he was deliberately letting him go."
At the tent, the fire shone on Li Ru's slightly lowered face, and it was light and dark, and in the shadow, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, lord, how could the Reign be ruined?"
