Chapter 173: How can a bow turn back? A good-for-nothing general performs extraordinary feats(1/3)
There is a valley between the tall peaks on both sides of the bank, which is shaped like a gourd.
Behind it are two mountains, "Fuhu Mountain" and "Mafang Mountain".
The mouth of the valley is very narrow and can accommodate at most dozens of people walking side by side at the same time.
This is where more than two hundred ships ran aground.
At this moment, Mi Fang was in a good mood because she figured out Guan Lin's plan. She was thinking that with Ma Liang's help, the construction of the new city was not a certainty.
At this moment, someone asked: "Master, it doesn't look like anyone will attack tonight. Master, I see... brothers are coming from a long distance, are they..."
The implication is to ask if I can change shifts and take a break.
Mi Fang nodded subconsciously, and was about to order the soldiers to set up camp on the spot and then go to rest, but inexplicably...he thought of Ma Liang's words.
Especially...the sentence that touches my heart the most.
——"Zifang, let me tell you, if the warship is really burned, I will say ugly things up front. The new city...not to mention 70% of the land, even 30% or 40%, I will never let Guan Gong give it to me.
Give it to Yunqi!"
Ma Liang's words at that time almost hit Mi Fang's fate.
Let him not hesitate any longer, and quickly order his troops... and rush this way on a quick march.
Now, thinking about it again, Mi Fang was thinking about it.
——"Isn't something really going to happen?"
No wonder Mi Fang thinks so.
Thirty percent of the land occupied by Jiangling, Changsha's new city, and Yunqi belonged to Mi Fang.
If these ships were burned due to negligence, then Ma Liang would definitely change from his strong support to his strong opposition to the new city.
By then, let alone 70% of the land, even 30 or 40% will be difficult.
In the meantime, for Mi Fang, the poor income...is not even a small amount.
"hiss…"
Thinking of this, Mi Fang took a breath of cold air and murmured in his heart.
——"This is a matter of money. No matter how calm the weather is tonight, we must not neglect it. We must keep our spirits high!"
——"This is to run a mill out of picked wheat, a business without capital and profit. Don't let one mistake lead to eternal regrets due to negligence!"
With this in mind, Mi Fang immediately denounced the song.
"Do you think we came to Fuhu Mountain for a vacation?"
Immediately, he stood on a side carriage and shouted loudly, "Please cheer up this prefect, and I will place a 'car formation' of 'side carriages' at the mouth of the valley, and all the crossbowmen will be ambushed."
All around!"
"Even if I, the King of Heaven, come today, I won't be able to pass through this valley, and I won't be able to touch these warships!"
"Everyone of you, please be alert. If something goes wrong with someone, I will recognize him, but the knife in my hand will not recognize him!"
Mi Fang directly pulled out the saber...
Under the torch, the saber looked inexplicably cold.
In addition, his voice was like a roar... There was no echo in the valley, and at that time... it startled the birds and beasts that had already rested in the mountains.
Accompanied by the cries of countless crows, they seemed to be frightened and flew into the sky together, blending into the black night.
Speaking of which...this is the first time I've seen the master take these Mi family stories so seriously.
I muttered in my heart.
——"I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Speaking of which, these are Mi Fang's private soldiers. They know this master very well. He has always been so serious about money.
Come to think of it...these warships must have huge interests involved!
Of course, these tribes don't know what the specific interests are, and they don't dare to ask.
The only thing they are sure of is...
——If anyone dares to touch their master's "money", then Mr. Mi will definitely fight him to death and bite him to death!
Immediately, a group of cadres trembled all over, and no longer dared to neglect, they divided into legions of a hundred people. Some went to the valley entrance to set up a chariot formation, some went to the mountains to occupy favorable terrain, set up crossbows, and even more spread out.
Start to explore the sentinel.
For a time, this side of the valley was filled with vehicles and soldiers, and there was a sense of urgency as if facing a powerful enemy.
Mi Fang didn't feel sleepy at all. It's rare for a middle-aged man like him... to show such a powerful side!
certainly…
This has something to do with Mi Fang’s constant struggle in her heart!
——"Damn it, if you survive tonight, I'll be mad!"
Mi Fang roared loudly every time she thought of this.
"Cheer up, everyone. I won't sleep tonight. I will keep an eye on you. Who dares to be lazy? I will deal with you according to military law without mercy!"
…
…
The empty mountain is silent and the night is as dark as a rock.
The cold stars are floating lonely above the sky, like spots of light, like a chessboard, but they are unable to bring out more spots of light in this rock-like dark night!
The three thousand cavalry brought by Wenpin are about to arrive at Fuhu Mountain.
Each of them carried a bundle of dry firewood and a small wooden stick in his mouth. The horse's mouth was tightly wrapped with a rope, and the horse's hooves... were all wrapped in thick coarse cloth!
Dry firewood and small sticks are used to burn the boat.
The horse's mouth and hooves are wrapped to prevent his whereabouts from being revealed.
In order to maintain absolute concealment, they did not even dare to increase their speed too fast, for fear that the sound of horse hooves would reveal their position and make Guan Yu aware of the true purpose of their actions!
But at this moment, the crow's cry of "quack, quack, quack" suddenly sounded.
Countless flocks of birds suddenly flew out from the direction of Fuhu Mountain, and there were thousands of jackdaws in an endless stream.
This made Wenpin immediately alert.
He quickly reined in his horse and signaled the three armies not to act rashly...
Suddenly, the cavalry team of 3,000 people stopped.
Wenpin murmured: "Who frightened so many crows in the middle of the night? Is it possible that there are really white tigers in Fuhu Mountain?"
"Report..."
At this moment, a scout quickly came to report, "At the entrance of Fuhu Valley, sergeants were found in formation...as if they were ready to fight!"
What?
Wenpin was startled, feeling as if his head was completely dazed.
"You...you say it again."
Wenpin's tone was a little stuttered, and his words showed unusual surprise.
"——At the entrance of Fuhu Mountain Valley, we found sergeants arrayed...as if they were ready." The scout repeated, not forgetting to explain: "The entrance to Fuhu Mountain is like a gourd, and only a few dozen riders can pass by side by side.
The enemy was the first to defend this important road!"
this…
"——That's not right!"
When Wenpin set off from Xiangfan, there was news from scouts that Guan Yu's three camps did not send out a single soldier. Even if Guan Yu followed Wenpin's expedition, it definitely shouldn't have happened so quickly, right?
It's not like...this Guan Yu is a clone, right?
Integrity and doubt.
"Report..." Another scout rushed back quickly. When he saw Wenpin, he didn't even bother to get off his horse and immediately handed over his hand, "The enemy's formation in Fuhu Mountain hangs a big flag with the word 'Mi'! It's the subordinate of Mi Fang, the prefect of Jiangling."
Qu is stationed here!"
"——Mi Fang?"
Wenpin repeated these words...he suddenly couldn't understand.
According to the available information, Mi Fang is from Xuzhou. Since she followed Liu Bei, apart from holding the title of "brother-in-law", she has done nothing good in combat.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a loser...
Can…
He...why is he stationed here?
——"Is this just a coincidence? Or was it arranged intentionally by Guan Yu?"
