Chapter 214 There is a wild cat chirping

Cheng Yi was stunned when he heard this and said:

"I have worked under Governor Han for many years, and I have never heard of Governor Han still having troops."

Wu Fan said casually:

"Maybe your Governor Han doesn't trust you, so this matter of sī soldier has never been mentioned to you."

Cheng Yi thought Wu Fan was suspicious of his relationship with Han Sui, which then affected whether Wu Fan was willing to send troops to rescue Han Sui, so he hurriedly defended:

"Governor Wu's words are so bad that I love Governor Han like brothers and have a close relationship. When I went out to war, Governor Han often ordered me to stay in the city and take care of his family. If I hadn't trusted me very much, how could I have entrusted this task? In addition, Governor Han was easy-going, but his wife was hot. Governor Han had hidden some money and never said that he had with his wife, but he did not hide it from me. This is also the reason why he trusted me very much."

While listening to Cheng Yi's narration, Wu Fan looked at Cheng Yi's god. Seeing that his expression was willing and his words were not different, he was already inclined to Cheng Yi's truth. If Cheng Yi's statement was the truth, then the so-called Han Sui's warrior in front was fake.

After a secret plan in his heart, Wu Fan also agreed to Cheng Yi's request and let Cheng Yi and the other seven people wait for his news. Cheng Yi left happily.

About an hour after Cheng Yi left, it was already late at night, and the guards outside the tent entered again to report: There was a man who called himself Zhang Xiu and wanted to see the governor.

Wu Fan thought to himself what happened today, why so many people wanted to see him? But looking at this time, under normal circumstances, he was already lying down to rest. When Zhang Xiu came to see him at this time, he thought there must be something urgent to do. Moreover, Wu Fan admired Zhang Xiu very much. After all, this person's martial arts skills are quite good, but he was limited by his martial arts value and he did not perform very well.

Wu Fan ordered the guards to invite Zhang Xiu to the tent.

A moment later, Zhang Xiu walked into the military tent, bowed to Wu Fan first, and said:

"I am really sorry to come to bother you late at night, so I would like to forgive you."

Wu Fan hurriedly stepped forward, helped him up and said:

"Wu is happy and he is too late to forgive me when he gets an old friend. General Zhang doesn't have to be so polite. Please come and sit down."

After the two of them took their seats, they first exchanged greetings with each other for a while, and then Wu Fan said directly:

"General Zhang came to visit late at night. I think there was something important. At this time, you and I are the only ones here. General Zhang might as well speak out."

Wu Fan said this, on the one hand, because he knew that Zhang Xiu had something important to come here, and on the other hand, he saw that Zhang Xiu wanted to say but didn't want to say it, and he was so scattered that he could just point out his words and give him some motivation.

Sure enough, after Wu Fan said this, Zhang Xiu seemed to have made up a lot of determination, and was silent for a while before nodding:

"Governor Wu is right. There is an important thing to tell Governor Wu. Tomorrow evening, Ma Teng will set up a heavy ambush at the northern city gate of Luoyang to ambush the Governor Wu. Moreover, 10,000 of them are Qiang cavalry, and they are extremely combat-effective. Governor Wu is also asked to be more careful."

As early as when Emperor Xian was fighting for the war, Zhang Xiu was still under Li Que and Guo Si. Because he believed that Wu Fan had killed his uncle Zhang Ji, he fought against Wu Fan to death. In the end, due to his lack of strength, he was captured by Hua Xiong in the chaos, and Wu Fan later released him. Zhang Xiu has always been grateful to Wu Fan for not killing him.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Xiu is a person who values ​​loyalty. Wu Fan has released many military generals, but not everyone is so grateful.

After Zhang Xiu was released by Wu Fan, he found his uncle Zhang Ji. The two of them wandered in the Yongliang Prefectures for a long time in a "wild" state and defected to Ma Teng's tent for only four months. However, because Zhang Xiu's ability was already quite excellent in Ma Teng's army, Zhang Xiu was also involved in the plan to ambush Wu Fan at the North City Gate of Luoyang this time.

As for the subordinates of Han Sui such as Cheng Yi, they were not able to participate in the ambush because they did not have the ability to do so. In order not to leak the news, Ma Teng did not tell them about the ambush plan. So Cheng Yi and others believed in the fact that Han Sui was imprisoned and came to ask Wu Fan to help them rescue Han Sui.

However, Wu Fan was also a little surprised after getting this information. Especially the Qiang cavalry, the spies sent to Luoyang did not mention that there were Qiang cavalry in the city in the information they had sent back. In recent times, except for the 80,000 troops of Han Sui's army, no other troops have settled in Luoyang. It can be seen that these Qiang cavalry should have disguised as ordinary cavalry and deliberately concealed Wu Fan, hoping to take advantage of Wu Fan's unpreparedness to have a sudden attack.

Wu Fan's speculation was confirmed in his subsequent conversation with Zhang Xiu. According to Zhang Xiu, the Qiang cavalry was a Qiang king who received a large gift from Ma Teng. His relationship with Ma Teng's army became good intentions, and then agreed to Ma Teng's joint army request and sent it to Ma Teng's army. Since they were all wearing Ma Teng's purple military uniforms and Ma Teng directly led them to not contact other troops, few people knew that they were Qiang cavalry.

The combat effectiveness of the Qiang cavalry is definitely different from that of the Middle Earth cavalry. The Wuwan archers in front have already given Wu Fan a headache, and the Qiang cavalry seems to be much better.

Before Zhang Xiu came, he had already determined that the so-called Han Sui army was a fake Wu Fan, and had decided to use the trick: to lead 5,000 elite Qingzhou fighters to the northern city gate of Luoyang tomorrow night, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others led a large army behind. At that time, when the north gate of the city was opened, he withstood the enemy's counterattack and controlled the northern city gate. When the large army arrived, he attacked the city in one fell swoop and took Luoyang directly.

This method will inevitably kill some soldiers, especially Qingzhou fighters. However, compared with siege, the number of casualties will be much smaller.

Of course, this was when Wu Fan did not expect that there would be Qiang cavalry in the city.

At present, since there are Qiang cavalry in the city and all of Ma Teng sent as ambushers, Wu Fan had to give up his previous plan. Otherwise, no matter how strong the Qingzhou fighters were fighting, they were infantry after all, and they would suffer heavy losses when they were ambushed by 10,000 Qiang cavalry. It is very likely that the five thousand troops would be wiped out before the large army arrived.

After Zhang Xiu spoke out this information, he didn't stay for long and stood up to say goodbye. Now, as Ma Teng's subordinate, he told Wu Fan about the ambush, and he was very uneasy.

Of course, Wu Fan saw Zhang Xiu's thoughts, and then checked the attributes and found that Zhang Xiu's loyalty to Ma Teng was 84 points, which was not very solid, so he naturally could not miss this excellent opportunity to poach. When Zhang Xiu stood up and left, Wu Fan lobbled with all his might, but after hesitating for a while, Zhang Xiu did not agree.

Wu Fan was not discouraged and personally sent Zhang Xiu out of the camp. Before Zhang Xiu turned over the saddle and got on the horse, he tightened the reins to straighten the saddle. Such detailed actions touched Zhang Xiu very much. Finally, he expressed his willingness to surrender to Wu Fan's tent before leaving.

Wu Fan was naturally very happy. He first rewarded Zhang Xiu, but then did not leave Zhang Xiu in the army immediately, but gave him a task: to find a suitable opportunity and lobby his uncle Zhang Ji.

Zhang Xiu took the order and left.

In fact, Wu Fan didn't care whether Zhang Ji, who had mediocre ability, could surrender to him. The reason why he asked Zhang Xiu to lobby Zhang Ji was just an excuse, and it was intended that Zhang Xiu still return to Luoyang. In this way, Zhang Xiu undoubtedly became the best insider when he led his team to ambush him under the order of Ma Teng.

With Zhang Xiu's style, it was already very difficult to tell Ma Teng's ambushing him, and it was entirely due to gratitude for the kindness he had at that time. At this time, Zhang Xiu felt ashamed of Ma Teng. If he had told him to go back to be an insider, Zhang Xiu would probably not agree. Therefore, Wu Fan used the excuse of asking him to lobby his uncle to go back to Luoyang.

As for whether what Zhang Xiu said was false information, Wu Fan had already secretly considered it in his heart and believed that there was no possibility. Just Zhang Xiu pointed out that there was a Qiang cavalry hidden in Luoyang City, Ma Teng really did not need to reveal this hidden ace to himself. This proves that what Zhang Xiu said is true.

After Zhang Xiu left, Wu Fan immediately ordered the troops to order all the chief generals of the troops to arrive at the central army tent and have important military arrangements.

A moment later, Wu Fan and his generals gathered in the central army's tent. Wu Fan first told everyone about the ambush Ma Teng wanted to set up an ambush at the northern gate of Luoyang. Then, he ordered Zhou Tai and Wenpin to lead 5,000 infantry each, and Zhang Ren led 5,000 crossbowmen to immediately go out of the camp, and used acceleration skills throughout the journey. He took advantage of the night to bypass Luoyang City and stationed in the deserted mountains and forests south of Luoyang City. He only brought dry food and was not allowed to raise fires. When he saw a fire in Luoyang City tomorrow night, he immediately marched towards Luoyang, climbed the southern city wall as fast as possible, and directly attacked the main hall of the palace.

The three of them took the order and left.

Then, Wu Fan ordered Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Li Zhan to prepare. Yan Liang and Wen Chou each led 10,000 heavy cavalry, and Li Zhan led 10,000 cavalry to select soldiers with less experience value, so as to increase experience in the military operations tomorrow evening.

Since it has decided to build this army into the main force of the legion, Wu Fan should try his best to consider how to allow soldiers to gain more experience when using troops. Judging from the current average experience value of these nine troops, if this battle goes well, the nine troops can reach more than 500 troops with experience value of more than 500 troops, which is the experience limit required for a second transfer.

Let’s talk about Wu Fan. In the military operation tomorrow night, he still planned to take the lead and lead the Xun cavalry to occupy the city gate with his third wife Lu Lingqi. Since Xun cavalry belongs to the cavalry department and the main attack method is bows and arrows, it will pose a greater threat to the Qiang cavalry. In addition, Xun cavalry is a transfer of the cavalry, and it can be equipped with a hand halberd, which is more comprehensive. Compared with Qingzhou fighters, it is more suitable to rush forward in this military operation.

After such arrangements, it was already midnight. Except for Zhou Tai and the other two, they led 15,000 soldiers from the barren mountains and forests in the south of Luoyang City, the other generals returned to the camp to rest.

The next day, nothing happened during the day. Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Li Zhan followed Wu Fan's instructions last night and ordered the generals of their respective troops to select the corresponding soldiers.

After nightfall, Wu Fan ordered people to secretly go to the military camp where the Eight Cavalry of Chengyi and others were located, so that they could prepare and participate in the military operations tonight at any time. As for the specific military operations, Wu Fan did not inform them. After all, these eight people are not their subordinates yet, so there is no need to say too much about them, so as not to leak the news.

After the person who went to deliver the letter came back, he informed Wu Fan that Cheng Yi and others were ready. Afterwards, Wu Fan immediately led his army to Luoyang. The base camp was left for Guo Jia to defend.

There was nothing to say along the way. When the five thousand Xun cavalry led by Wu Fan arrived five miles north of Luoyang City, it was already around nine o'clock at night. Lu Lingqi also led the five thousand Xun cavalry and stood in line with Wu Fan. The 30,000 cavalry and thrust cavalry led by Yan Liang and the other three were stationed behind the Xun cavalry unit, and the distance from Luoyang City was about seven to eight miles.

After waiting for a while, the city of Luoyang under the night suddenly burst into flames, which was extremely eye-catching in the dark vision.

When Wu Fan saw this scene, he nodded and thought to himself: At this time, the 15,000 heavy infantry and crossbowmen led by Zhou Tai and the other two should have marched towards Luoyang at full speed. The deserted mountains and dense forests in the south of Luoyang City are about twenty miles away from Luoyang City. There is no hurry, and I will lead the team to the next team later.

Although Wu Fan did not lead his army to the north gate of Luoyang, he called a messenger and ordered him to secretly go to the military camp where Cheng Yi and others were again, telling Cheng Yi and others: I have led a team to stop in the north of Luoyang City. You are now in the name of putting out fires. Once you see the north gate open, you will immediately march into the city. When you hear the shouts of killing in the north gate of the city, you will turn back and kill the ambush, and fight back to the north gate. You should just do what I said. The ambush in Luoyang City and other reasons are all ambush set up by Ma Teng after he learned that I wanted to send troops to rescue Han Sui. Don’t believe Ma Teng’s words easily, otherwise Han Sui’s will be in danger.

After the messenger left, Lu Lingqi asked:

"My husband, Ma Teng's ambush was set up for our army. If our army is not seen for a long time, will Ma Teng give up the ambush plan?"

Wu Fan smiled and said:

"With Ma Teng's strategy, it is very difficult to come up with a difficult plan and an ambush, and he will not give up easily. Don't worry, my husband is just waiting for the best time before leading his army."

Lu Lingqi nodded when she heard this, and then said with concern:

"This time my husband wants to take the lead in the arrows and stones, and I am really worried. It would be better to let me be in front and behind. I think the key target of Ma Teng's ambush this time is my husband. It seems dangerous to rush in front, but it is actually safer than my husband."

Wu Fan smiled and shook his head:

"The wife can't say this, so how can she let her wife charge forward and hide behind her? As a military officer, if this is the case, she will be unable to raise her head in front of others in the future."

When Lu Lingqi heard Wu Fan say this, she also felt that it makes sense. The so-called scholars can be killed but not humiliated. In today's society, men's face is more important than life. Although she is unwilling, she has no choice but to click and sigh inwardly.

At this time, Wu Fan was reminded by Lu Lingqi's words just now and said to Lu Lingqi:

"My wife, this action will inevitably be very dangerous. Although my husband is charging forward, he has two treasures, Ji Zhuque Wings and Xitian Dou Dragon Armor, so he can be guaranteed. So he handed over this Ji Xuanwu Armor to his wife in case of an accident."

As he said that, Wu Fan was about to take off the extreme Xuanwu armor that was covering the armor. However, Lu Lingqi hurriedly stopped and said:

"Your Majesty doesn't have to do this, I have my own self-defense treasure."

Wu Fanqi said:

"Don't the lady have only the Xuanwu Armor as her self-defense? How can she have other treasures?"

The fact that Lu Lingqi had only one extreme Xuanwu armor as a self-defense treasure is well known to all the generals under Wu Fan. It was precisely because Lu Lingqi gave Wu Fan the only self-defense treasure to Wu Fan that Wu Fan was very moved and then led to their marriage.

But when Lu Lingqi smiled sly, she said:

"I also have a very Xuanwu armor + 25 defense, but I have never taken it out to display it, so naturally no one knows it."

Wu Fan blinked his eyes and recalled carefully where he heard that Lu Lingqi had only one extreme Xuanwu armor. After thinking for a while, he remembered: it was from Hua Xiong. When Hua Xiong accepted Lu Bu's request for mediation, he heard from Lu Bu that Lu Lingqi gave him the only one extreme Xuanwu armor.

Thinking of this, Wu Fan asked Lu Lingqi, who was looking at him with a smile:

"Your second extremely black woven armor, even your father didn't know? At that time, he pointed to Hua Xiong in person and told his elder brother that you only have one extremely black woven armor."

Lu Lingqi smiled with a hint of expression:

"Of course I don't know. As for the fact that I only have one extreme Xuanwu armor, it was said by my father, not me, so it cannot be considered as lying. Right, my husband?"

The implication is: Xiaoya, you have already been fooled by me.

Wu Fan was really helpless. Now, once he was deceived, he would have been lucky for the rest of his life.

Instead, Wu Fan felt that he hadn't lost anything. Looking back on when he was entangled with Lu Lingqi, he did not enjoy it very much? Although he was cheated, he now seems willing to do so. If he gave himself another chance to start over, he would rather be deceived by Lu Lingqi.

Thinking of this, Wu Fan looked at Lu Lingqi with a wicked smile, then looked at Luoyang City in the distance and said:

"It seems like a wild cat is chirping in the prefect of Luoyang City, and it is chirping very strongly and wonderful."

This is the secret code of Wu Fan and Lu Lingqi.

Although the two are already husband and wife, the army is almost all men. When the outside army is stationed in the camp, Wu Fan and Lu Lingqi naturally cannot share the same bed and sleep together. In fact, the two should try to avoid being alone in the same camp, so as not to make the soldiers imaginative.

In this way, what if the two of them want it?

Promise means "secret code". The secret code is a wild cat.

For example, Wu Fan met Lu Lingqi in the military camp and said to her: It seems that there are wild cats chirping on the West Mountain. Then, the two of them separated without any trouble. After a short time, they would meet on the West Mountain. After that, it would naturally be a field battle...

At this time, Wu Fan said a secret code to Lu Lingqi in front of the army, which made Lu Lingqi blush and embarrassed. She didn't know how to answer. The so-called "wild cats are chirping in the prefect's mansion in Luoyang City" naturally means that after conquering Luoyang tonight, the two of them no longer need to fight in the field, but moved the battlefield to the prefect's mansion. As for the saying that the wild cats are chirping very strongly and beautifully, it is Wu Fan's added fuel to the fire, intending to indicate that he would never spare Lu Lingqi easily.

When Lu Lingqi was ashamed and the Xun Cavalry behind her didn't know what Wu Fan meant, one by one, one by one, the provocateurs sent by Wu Fan to the north gate of Luoyang City had returned and reported to Wu Fan that the north gate of Luoyang City had been opened, and Cheng Yi and eight others had led their troops into the city on the grounds of putting out fires.

Wu Fan immediately waved Long E in his hand and ordered the whole army to say:
Chapter completed!
