Chapter 45: Strong Enemy
I'm A Dou
After a while, Huang Zhong said, "The enemy will not attack the city before dawn. Young Master, go and have a rest."
I shook my head: "How can I sleep? Why don't the Old General take a break?"
Huang Zhong smiled and said, "Okay." After that, he sat on the ground and surrounded his cloak. After a moment, he snored like thunder.
I secretly laughed at myself. This old general is truly a broad-minded person who is not confused about things. And I still need to practice.
The enemy troops in the West did not attack the city. After shouting for half an hour, they gradually gathered in one place, gradually extinguished the torches and became silent. However, in the east, there was a light and dull sound coming, and the troops arranged by the enemy to ambush were also coming here.
I guessed it right, fortunately, I was not scared by the enemy and ran away overnight, otherwise I would have become a prisoner at this moment.
Who is the opponent? Can you even guess my hesitation and weakness? I felt chill again.
The soldiers on the city were all on duty except for the alert. I also wanted to close my eyes, but as soon as I closed my eyes, I was startled again: "Come on, tell Zhao Zheng, strictly prevent the enemy from coming in from the tunnel."
The messenger agreed to go, so I opened my eyes and closed my eyes to "fishing". I don't know how long it took, but I opened my eyes suddenly, but found it was already dawn. I was shocked. I didn't expect that I would have fallen asleep on the cold city before the war came, looking at the enemy, but I just surrounded the small city heavily and did not attack. Huang Zhong had already stood up and was patrolling the city. He bent over a crossbow and said something. The morning light shone on the snow-white hair and bearded, and it was like silver threads.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and felt sore and painful all over my body. The heavy armor looked safe and majestic, but the weight was really not something that a weak person like me could bear easily.
"Elder General." I called Huang Zhong and stood up and walked over.
Huang Zhong turned around and smiled, "Okay, Young Master, I thought you would not dare to close your eyes all night, but I didn't expect you to be able to sleep before this battle."
My face turned red: "Isn't it caused by you? How about the enemy?"
Huang Zhong said: "Maybe he was afraid of us, so he didn't dare to attack for a moment."
I shook my head, knowing that Huang Zhong said this to deliberately look down on the other party. But why did the enemy come overnight but not attack overnight, but instead wait for dawn? What's the reason?
If I came to lead the army, and I knew that the enemy general would attack secretly in the city, with a man holding a group of horses and picking the bells, quietly reaching the city, with a shout, the army moves together, attacking them unintentionally, taking advantage of their unpreparedness. This is the key to the attack. How can we go against the rules everywhere?
No, no, it was not that he didn't want to attack, but he was unable to attack. Last night, they must have been marching for a long distance and were exhausted, so they only beat drums and shouted, not attacking. They just suppressed us from the momentum so that we dared not attack so that they could calmly settling in the village - of course, it would be even easier if they could scare me away.
After understanding this principle, I couldn't help but feel annoyed. If Mr. Kong Ming was there, he would definitely see through this mechanism. Even if there were few people in the city, he would take the initiative to attack them with a head-on blow. But I am still young!
But at this time, it was too late to say anything, so I could only face the enemy's attack head-on.
It was getting dark, and the enemy saw it more and more clearly. When it was dawn, the enemy did not have as many as at night. In order to scare me, they ordered about twice as many torches. However, for now, there were probably 20,000 enemies all over the mountains and fields. In this siege, the quail goblet was like a leaf in the vast ocean, which seemed to be overturned by huge waves at any time.
The enemy drums sounded, the big flag shook lightly, the flag gate opened, and fifty rattan players and fifty swords and axe players rushed out. The soldiers of Hehuang were used to long swords and swords and axe players. At this time, since the rattan players and swords and axe players were on the move, it seemed that the enemy's chief general was about to take action.
This mysterious enemy finally appeared, and I felt a strange excitement. I saw two horses walking leisurely behind the rattan card, which was not like before the two armies with murderous intent, but rather like in their own home yard. At present, he was a scholar with a very ancient appearance, long sleeves, and a bit of a fairy-like appearance, only about forty years old. Behind him was a general, wearing a black iron pocket and black armor. He held a spear in one hand and was leisurely covering his eyes in the other hand, blocking the sunshine in the east.
Huang Zhong suddenly shouted: "Yan Yanming!"
The black-clothed general raised his head and his eyes lit up: "Huang Hansheng!"
A small spark seemed to burst into the air, which was a confrontation between peerless masters. At this moment, I found Huang Zhong's battle robe trembling violently.
But the person who attracted my attention was not the terrifying Yan Xing who had woken me up in my dream. Even at this moment, in the silent confrontation between Huang Hansheng and Yan Xing, all my eyes were attracted to the scholar in front of Yan Xing.
At first glance, this person has no power, but the closer he looks, the more he feels he can't see clearly and can't see through. He seems to be floating high up to the sky. Although he has not spoken, I have deeply determined that the person who has made us clumsy and in a mess these days must be this person. Only such a person is worthy of my expectations of him. The feeling he gives people is exactly the same as Kong Ming Shuijing. What kind of experience and Tao Zhi have to go through to form such a peerless and ethereal posture.
I finally spoke first: "Who is yours? Why are you willing to rebel and resist my great Han heavenly soldiers?"
The man smiled slightly and said in a light voice that seemed to be indifferent to the world: "In Runan Meng Jian, are you Liu Adu, who was dedicated to assisting Liu Xuande after he was sick?"
Meng Jian, Runan, is the friend of Mr. Meng Gongwei? I was so excited. The enemy who set up many tricks on me and made me restlessly sleep was actually Mr. Kongming's former friend. When Mr. Kongming was in Longzhong, there were four friends, namely Xu Shu, who had assisted his father, Cui Zhouping, who taught me Dayu to set up a tripod, Shi Guangyuan, who had served as the Diannong Captain in Cao Wei, and Meng Gongwei in front of him.
I have imagined that my opponents may be many people, including Sima Yi, Zhang Ji and Guo Huai, and even Deng Ai and Zhong Hui who was not born yet, but I never thought that I would be my old friend. Although in history, Meng Jian served as the governor of Liangzhou after Zhang Ji and Huan Wen, and was in charge of the military and political power of Liangzhou.
How could it be him? He is Mr. Kong Ming's old friend. In my impression, these friends of his will never become my opponents. They are so outstanding, as outstanding as the clouds in the sky, and are outstanding without any traces of the world. I know they are in Cao's camp, but I always subconsciously think that even if I really meet them, they will show mercy to my subordinates, and maybe they will devote themselves to it. But he, he, has to kill me several times.
Mr. Kong Ming had four friends that day. Xu Shu first followed his father and later fell into Cao's camp. Meng Jian and Shi Tao were also in Cao's camp. Although Cui Zhouping did not help each other, he also had a good relationship with the Sima family in Hanoi. Could it be that Mr. and his former friends must fight with us?
I tried hard to calm my chaotic thoughts and replied loudly: "It is Liu Chan. Since you are a friend of your husband, why are you willing to follow the thief?"
Meng Gongwei ignored me: "How old are you?"
He didn't answer me and asked me what I was doing at an age. But I still answered, "Fifteen." As soon as I said that, I knew I was wrong. No matter where I was put, it would give people a feeling that a little kid could not trust. Moreover, when he asked me like this, he obviously regarded himself as an elder and looked down on me.
Sure enough, Meng Gongwei laughed: "Fifteen, haha, fifteen years old, Kongming, Kongming, you will suffer from it in the future."
I must not lose to him in terms of momentum. I represent the great man who led his army on behalf of his father, how could he lose morale? When he smiled, I laughed loudly, because the child's voice had not been eliminated and his voice was sharp, which actually overshadowed him.
Meng Gongwei said unhappily: "Why are you laughing at?"
I shouted: "Your Majesty laughs at me, I will laugh at you! You bully me young, but I laugh at you, even though you are old, all of you are in vain! You do not know the destiny, do not argue about good and evil, do not support the Han Dynasty, but help Cao thieves! If you are enemies with the world, you will have the talent of Zhang Yi and Pang Juan's wisdom, and you will not be able to escape the defeat!"
My words caused the soldiers and generals on the top of the Quegu City to cheer, and for a moment, the sound of drums and shouts sounded.
Meng Gongwei smiled calmly, and his face calmed down: "I didn't learn it, but I learned his wise words. It was not wasteful of his whole heart. But at a young age, you know what destiny is? Since ancient times, there has been a country that will never perish? A king that will never perish? For hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty, the energy has been exhausted. As today, only the virtues live in it. After your father pseudonym the Han Dynasty, he fled to Bashu, and his illness was difficult to support him. Jingzhou has been lost, Guan Yu has died, and all the famous generals are old, and only Kongming has only the building. How long can it last? You are young, not hiding deep in Yizhou, and enjoying happiness with peace of mind. How dare you draw Yongliang in the north and attack the strong with weak, and not seeking death? Now, you are surrounded by me and still not surrender, when will you wait?"
I spat and cursed: "Shameless people are willing to follow the thief. There are so many things to say. Mr. Wang has made acquaintance with you. If you have any skills, just use them? The descendants of the great man are not afraid of death!"
Meng Gongwei said, "It's a big talk. Do you know that Wei Yan was poisoned and died. Guan Ping was led into Jue Ming Valley and there was no way to escape. Jiang Wei was surrounded by our army and his defeat was only in a daze. You were trapped in the lonely city and had no way to escape. My Lord raised an army of 300,000 in Tongguan and attacked Chang'an. Kong Ming would not be able to survive alone. If you surrender at this time, you can still gain wealth for half your life. Otherwise, I gave my order and this small earthen city will be burned with jade and stone!"
I laughed and said, "Your big talk has only deceived others. I have received letters from Wei, Guan and Jiang overnight. They are all safe. On the contrary, you are working hard to attack the army, and your life is in a short time, and you dare to speak more!"
What I said is actually a fraud. Since I divided the troops, I have never received any information from the three generals. But no matter whether it is true or false, I cannot believe that Meng Gongwei is true.
Meng Gongwei said leisurely: "Okay, since you refuse to surrender, don't blame me for being ruthless. Kongming, Kongming, I heard that you are working hard day and night in Shu, and your body and spirit are tired. I don't know how many more white hairs will be caused by my attack this time!"
He pulled his horse back to the team and suddenly turned around and said, "Do you think I'm here, they might return here before you are sacked?" Without waiting for my answer, he rode away.
Yan Xing stood on the battlefield and slowly raised his spear: "Siege the city!"
