Chapter 307 Letter from a close friend (1)
The thunder sounded in summer, and the lanterns on both sides of the entrance of the courtyard were shaking in the night wind. The footsteps stepped on the stone steps and pushed open the old courtyard door. The fallen leaves covered the yard, and the window lattice shone with lights on it.
The confidant who was arranged in this courtyard should come up quickly.
"General."
"How is he?"
"I ate and slept well. I changed into new clothes when I sat in."
"Well, you guys are waiting outside."
In the exquisitely decorated room, several tables were filled with dishes. A man in a black robe covered with single clothes was eating and drinking in big mouthfuls. Hearing footsteps came in, he raised his head, revealing the long scars from the corners of his eyes to his cheeks. Hao Meng sat down in front of his ate figure and reached out to pick up the cup.
"Governor Gongsun, who is roaming the north, has a strong army and a strong horse with one or two hundred people. He can also make friends with Cao Sikong, who owns Yan and Yu. He is really a rare hero, especially the governor is only thirty years old and the Han Dynasty is weak. In the future, the world... haha... he is speechless..."
He held the chopsticks and held them in the air: "It seems that General Hao already understands what I said before."
"I understand." Hao Meng handed over the wine, "Although Mr. Wen has treated me with kindness, he has been a cow and a horse for so many years, and he has paid back what he should pay back. The name of a flying general is amazing, but after all, it is not as good as Governor Gongsun and Cao Sikong. Instead of working hard for half a lifetime to die, Meng must be unwilling to do so, so naturally she would not choose to sit and wait for death."
Qianzhao chewed the food in his mouth and looked up at him: "How could you know you were not pretending to be surrendering me?"
"This hero!" Hao Meng curled his fingers one by one, his body leaned forward excitedly, and his tone became excited: "I know you are a soldier under Governor Gongsun. I just need to go back and tell the Governor that Meng is willing to sacrifice his merits for promotion, and only hopes to be able to win a wife and a son in the future and shine on the lintel."
Here, Qian Zhao took his drink and thought for a while: "Seeing General Hao is so anxious, is Wen Hou defeated outside?"
"To be honest, Marquis Wen was caught in the plan to attack the aid. When he passed Geyi Mountain, the back team Zang Ba and Gao Shun were ambushed by the governor. Those who surrendered and died, leaving only thousands of cavalry returning to the city. Now Cao Sikong and the governor were approaching Xia Pi. Marquis Wen was still getting angry, so I knew it would be a matter of time before the defeat."
Hao Meng's tone was low, his eyes turned dark. After following Lu Bu for many years, he still achieved nothing. When he saw him again today, he was angry in public. He felt that it was not a person who had succeeded. His thoughts were as complicated as he was stuck in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh, and he picked up the wine and took a sip. "No one wants to do this to blame, but when the trouble comes, he will inevitably want to save his wife, children, and young people in the family. Wen Houxin was defeated and the army was not willing to fight. Even if he stayed for a few days, what's the use?!"
"When will the general want to do it?"
"When the governor and Cao Sikong attack Xia Pi, I am afraid that I will not be able to accomplish anything. Rong Meng will find someone again, otherwise Wen Hou will be with him and his halberd, and before we can open the city gate, we will be in a different place."
In the sky, thunder rolled over the roof, and stood up and walked to the open window, looking at the sky with blue and white lightning: "The general has the heart to abandon darkness and turn to the light, how can I refuse? There is great potential for this matter. The governor and Sikong have not come yet, and they still have a lot of time to do this. Once the matter is done, I will guarantee you to become an official."
"Hao Meng thanked the hero for his promise in advance."
Hao Meng also stood up and bowed behind her back: "However, after the matter is done, please let the governor let Wen Hou's family go. This is Meng's only request."
"How could my governor attack women and children?" Qian Zhao stood in front of the window and turned around. The scar on his face smiled, looking hideous and terrifying. "General, please feel at ease."
Thunder rolled across the sky, covering up the voice of people.
On April 25th, on the night of April 25, fifty miles west of the city, the barracks that stretched for several miles had fallen. A large number of people and figures came and went between the nearby foothills. The chariot dragged wood into the camp on the side. The sound of sawing wood was connected into a piece, and the sound of creating equipment was heard from time to time to the nearby military camps.
In the central army's tent, the number of generals was scarce. At this time, most of them had dispersed. Only Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhi were sitting in the tent and drinking warm wine slowly, chatting about topics casually, and occasionally talking about the war here.
They came all the way west, not just marching. They sent some troops to sweep the cities around Xuzhou. Xiahou Yuanshan rushed to attack and led 5,000 troops south to take Xiaqiu to block the area, preventing Lu Bu from being forced to go south to surrender Yuan Shu, and at the same time preventing Yuan Shu from leading troops north to rescue Xuzhou. In the north, Cao Hong took the country and stopped Zang Ba who was in the north to prevent the possibility of escaping back.
Doing all this is the first step to capture Xia Pi, in order to nail Lu Bu to Xia Pi City. As long as you take down this tiger, the rest of Xuzhou will not need to be attacked again, and it will fall into the hands of the two. The second step is that when approaching Xia Pi City, you will start to let the general camp build the equipment for the attack, which will take a certain amount of time.
"Lu Bu will not sit and wait for death. The scout came to report that there were signs of pulling troops in several counties near Xia Pi. Gongsun thought whether to use cavalry to intercept them? After all, the siege was very casualties. If Lu Bu had more soldiers to defend the city, it would be unfavorable to us."
Gongsun Zhi nodded. In fact, he had such an idea, but the rivers in Xia Pi area were densely populated, especially the big rivers like Yi and Si. It was rainy in summer again. The roads were muddy and the rivers surged, which made it difficult for his cavalry to traverse.
"Sikong's words are reasonable, but now it's rainy and the rivers around Xia Pi are intertwined, so the cavalry will become burdensome. Even if a group of Lu Bu reinforcements are robbed, it will be useless for siege. Now there are not many soldiers around Lu Bu, and all four sects have to defend. If they really have to share the burden, there will be not many. At that time, the three sects will be attacked, and the main attack will be broken in half a day."
Cao Cao drank a sip of wine, smiled and waved his hand: "Gongsun led the cavalry with a good reputation, but he rarely attacked the city. I'd better do this. Gongsun will guard against the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry under Lu Bu at that time."
Under the same night sky, in Xia Pi City, someone hesitated for several days and finally took the stack of plain silk into his hands, gently turned it on, and sat under the light. The blood on it had already dried up and turned it dark red.
Thunder sounded outside, and heavy rain slapped the windows.
"I will give you a letter to you.
After a long time, Yang had left Shangdang and had been under the command of Gongsun Governor for two months. The military affairs of Yunzhong County began. Yang could not bear the disaster in his hometown. He thought of being a Han Chinese and his hometown elders, so he volunteered to come to surrender to Yunzhong to avoid a fight between his family. However, whenever he thought of the chaos in the Central Plains, Yang always hoped that all the princes could have this consensus and traveled to the south first, hoping that this thought would also be... "
This is the handwriting written in ink, and the opening is also full of literary style. Lu Bu did not like this method. However, this time, he patiently looked at the above, and the words passed by one by one, and the color gradually turned into a dark red blood.
