38, Wen Ji faces the enemy Wanjun(1/2)
Jia Xu rushed out of the house in a hurry. The incident happened in just a short moment, and all the roofs in the city were on fire.
"Where is your lord!" Jia Xu got on his horse and hurried to the Hou Mansion.
When Zhang Liao left the city, the Marquis's mansion was empty. Jia Xu seemed to be in a dream. No one could be found. Not even a single person in charge was there.
"What's going on! Where is Marquis Wen?!" - the woman's anxious voice.
Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there was someone who could talk. Cai Wenji, with her hair disheveled and a silver hairpin in her hand that had not been inserted yet, got off the carriage and ran into the Hou Mansion.
Jia Xu couldn't laugh or cry: "Just now someone attacked the city..."
With a loud bang, the fire-filled earthen pot fell into the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, splashing fire oil all over the floor, interrupting Jia Xu's words.
Cai Wenji was in disbelief: "Where is General Zhang Liao?"
Jia Xu said: "I don't know where I went."
Cai Wenji: "You and I are the only ones in the city?"
Jia Xu nodded: "At present, it seems that is indeed the case."
Cai Wenji seemed to have heard a big joke.
Countless arrows flew into the city and shot through the roof. Soldiers ran away with their heads in their hands. Hundreds of soldiers shouted blankly along the street, creating a chaotic mess.
Fortunately, Lu Bu's army was far away, and no commander or military advisor could be found. General Pi and General Ya took up their positions one after another, issued orders, and blocked the long ladder that climbed up the city wall.
Jia Xu added: "Or... release all the scholars detained by the generals and divisions? Let them go to the tower to ask for surrender? I would like to see if Mi Heng, with his sharp mouth, can scold tens of thousands of troops."
Cai Wenji said: "Jia Wenhe! When did you still have the heart to joke? Whose army attacked the city gate?"
Jia Xu spread his hands: "I don't know."
Cai Wenji: "You... mobilize the soldiers and horses from the Western Camp and go up to defend the city!"
Jia Xu: "It can't be adjusted, and there are no military symbols."
Cai Wenji was completely speechless. A gust of wind rushed into Lu Bu's room, rummaged around, frowned and said: "Where is the military talisman?!"
Jia Xu followed him in and said slowly: "Everything is in good condition, the bed tent is neat, but the whereabouts of the master is unknown. This matter has obviously been premeditated."
"You are right, but now we need to find the soldier talisman first!"
Cai Wenji rummaged through the bookshelf and found a box of luminous pearls.
Jia Xu said leisurely: "Since we had already planned it, of course we also took away the military talisman."
Cai Wenji opened the box, took a look, and said, "What is this bead? Can it be used as a token?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "You don't even know where it comes from, how can you use it as a token?"
Cai Wenji held the box, rushed to Qilin's room, opened the lid of the box, and the room was brightly lit.
Cai Wenji sighed: "The military advisor of the first army has the ears, eyes and mind of the commander, but he lives in a doghouse and a bullpen every day... It's really..."
"What's on the bookshelf?" Jia Xu suddenly asked.
Cai Wenji threw the luminous pearl box on the couch, picked up the brilliant golden object, swept the wolf horns from the shelf without any explanation, put it in her sleeve, stretched out her hand to hold Jia Xu's arm, and rushed out of the house.
The two arrived at the West City Gate in a car. Cai Wenji stood in front of the car, with disheveled hair and bare feet. She was holding a red rope in her hand. On the rope was dangling, tied with the golden beads Lu Bu gave to Qilin.
"Commanders, listen up!" Cai Wenji said: "My lord is going to Jincheng to attack Han Sui! The military advisor is going to Wuwei to attack Chengyi! Now the enemy is taking advantage of the absence of my lord and military advisor to attack Longxi. My mistress is missing and her whereabouts are unknown. Please generals."
Entrust your life to me!"
People gathered along the road, and finally saw someone who could speak. They asked each other loudly what happened.
Cai Wenji said: "Now count all your generals and listen to Military Advisor Jia's orders!"
"How did you know they were Han Sui's soldiers?" Jia Xu asked in surprise.
Cai Wenji replied in a low voice: "I don't know, I'm just blind."
Jia Xu smiled and said: "I also guess they are Han Sui's troops."
Cai Wenji: "Send a team of thousands of people to knock on the doors of people's homes and wake up all the people! Go from house to house and collect all the oil here! You get charcoal to make a fire! Send a small team to Wuwei to give it to the military advisor
Deliver the letter and ask him to quickly respond to the request...What? What happened to Dong Jun?"
A soldier came forward and said something.
Cai Wenji smoothed her hair next to her ears, lowered her head to listen clearly, and ordered: "Let him eat breakfast by himself, and put the steamed buns in the steamer."
Jia Xu:"……"
Cai Wenji took care of several teams in an instant. Jia Xu took the list of soldiers and looked at them: "Which teams are guarding the city gate now? Cai Yan! You can't go up to the tower!"
Cai Wenji: "If you don't go to the tower, how can you supervise the battle?"
Jia Xu: "Beware of stray arrows without eyes!"
Cai Wenji said angrily: "You can just hide in the city, greedy for life and afraid of death."
Jia Xu chuckled: "Of course I am greedy for life and afraid of death."
Cai Wenji held the golden beads and went up to the city tower. The siege ladder was set up. The soldiers fired volleys of arrows. A large flag was hoisted in the distance. The war flag with the word "Han" in the firelight was bright and fluttering in the cold wind.
Cai Wenji took half a step back, her bare feet turned red from the cold. Unexpectedly, she guessed right, it was Han Sui.
Cai Wenji shouted: "Soldiers! Your family and children are all in the city. The Lord will return to the city at dawn. When the two sides attack, the enemy will be defeated and must be defended to the death!"
Cai Wenji held the golden beads and faced the warm light of the torch high up. Her clothes were fluttering in the cold wind, and she appeared like a fairy. The soldiers guarding the city shouted in unison, and their morale was immediately boosted.
General Jia Xu finished arranging the garrison and hurried up to the tower. He glanced around and said with a smile: "In our army, even the female military advisor knows what's going on."
Cai Wenji, still charming, ordered: "Please find a pair of boots for me to wear first. Jia Wenhe, are you afraid?"
Jia Xu nodded and said: "Look at this posture. There are four city gates, each with five thousand. If we are full outside the city, we only have 30,000 troops. What is there to be afraid of?"
Cai Wenji asked: "Do you think you can hold it for ten days?"
Jia Xu replied: "If you can defend it, you can send someone to deliver the message."
Cai Wenji smiled brightly and ordered: "Send fast horses to chase back the previous messengers and report to Qilin Military Advisor. There is no need to return reinforcements. Just do whatever you want."
Two days later, the letter arrived in Wuwei and the city was at peace. Mrs. Jiang committed suicide by swallowing gold, and Cheng Yi fled south. The generals rested in the city for a day and met again at the prefect's mansion.
Ma Chao counted all the troops in the city and said sadly: "If I had known that victory would be so easy, I wouldn't have bothered you to come with me."
Gao Shun smiled and said: "The two darkest strategists in the army, one is in the city and the other is in the city. They are attacking from both inside and outside. If they are not defeated, there will be ghosts!"
"It's good to have more people. At least it's safer. Stop playing around and send your troops back as soon as possible." Qilin was in a state of confusion.
"Report——" The first wave of reports sent by Cai Wenji arrived nearly half a day earlier than expected.
"Han Sui's army invaded Longxi! The lord is missing! General Zhang chased him out of the city! Jia Xu and Cai Wenji led the army to meet the enemy! I hope the military advisor will return quickly for reinforcements!"
When Qilin heard the emergency information from Longxi, the world suddenly spun and his eyesight turned black.
"Are you kidding?" Qilin said, "Search him!"
"I have a token!" The messenger knelt down on one knee and handed out something.
Qilin couldn't bear it anymore, kicked him over, and said frantically: "Take a broken hairpin and shake it! I know what the heck! It's popular nowadays to just pick something and use it as a token, isn't it! Who asked you to spread false news?
Yes! Say it!”
Chen Gong said: "Wait, caring will lead to chaos, don't be impatient, listen to him clearly first."
After hearing those words, Qilin felt a sudden pain in his temples, and asked again: "Is Zhang Liao going after the lord?"
The messenger had his hands cut behind his back and said anxiously: "Yes, the whereabouts of the princess and her mother are unknown, and Han Sui's army is approaching the city. What should we do? Let the military advisor decide!"
Ma Chao said: "How could this be? Marquis Wen's military power is rare in the world, so how can he be restrained? Never mind! Let's fight back together!"
Chen Gong said leisurely: "The Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes. No matter how powerful the force is, it can't withstand poisoning. Qilin, it's all because of your wrong thoughts."
Qilin said angrily: "I told him not to eat anything randomly. After we send troops, he will definitely not be able to help but open the bag. I also saw the note. Who can I blame for my stupidity?"
Qilin suppressed his anger, and Chen Gong each folded his sleeves and fell into a long silence.
Ma Chao said anxiously: "You should give it a try!"
Gao Shun said: "Don't worry, they are thinking."
Chen Gong said: "This plan is so detailed and careful that we all fell into it."
Qilin nodded: "I guess they started making plans for Longxi a few months ago, and they didn't notice it at that time? There are informants in Xuchang and Jincheng who communicate with each other. They must find out the informants first, otherwise whether they are returning reinforcements or
If we surround Wei and rescue Zhao, we will all die."
Gao Shun's expression changed and he said, "Is there a spy in the city?"
Chen Gongdao: "They must be people who escaped from Yecheng. They have been secretly communicating with Cao Cao for a long time. Now almost everyone is being watched by us. Only the Cai family and the Wang family must be conspiring with Wang Yun and Diao Chan."
Qilin asked the soldier: "Is Wang Yun in the city?"
The soldier said: "Everyone in the mansion escaped completely."
Wang Yun himself was the fastest runner, and it was definitely him and Diao Chan. Qilin had no doubt: "What should we do now? Divide the troops into two groups? Or what?"
Chen Gong was a little undecided, Gao Shun said: "Go all the way to chase the lord, and go all the way back to save the city? Where is the lord?"
Qilin asked: "Which gate does Diao Chan's car leave the city from?"
