Zhao Guang got the order and quickly went down to make arrangements.
After a while, I saw a small Han army soldier coming to the gate of Longguan City without any armor and unarmed. He shouted loudly, "In the Han Pass, General Feng Yong, the general who is fighting against the invaders, has sent someone to pass a message to the general guarding the pass."
A hanging basket was soon hung from the city wall and people were hoisted up.
The Han army commander was able to climb the city wall, but he saw bright weapons all around him, and Cao's soldiers glared at him.
The principal held out his chest and sneered loudly, "I have nothing to offer and am alone. Why should you be afraid?"
"You are very articulate." A general in his thirties emerged from the crowd, "Is it possible that all Shu captives are incompetent people like you who can only talk and talk?"
The colonel bowed his hand and said, "The villain was ordered by General Feng to serve the noble army. It is not disrespectful to be polite. On the contrary, the general humiliated the big man as a prisoner before he opened his mouth. It seems a little lacking in restraint."
General Cao Jun was furious when he heard this and drew his sword, "How dare you insult me?"
"The general humiliates others first, so why should he consider the inferiors' disrespect later?"
The small school is not afraid.
"The Wei Dynasty is China. You are just bandits from the west. Calling them captives is already considered a compliment. Why should I insult you?" General Cao Jun shouted sternly, "Since you say I don't have the ability, then I don't have the ability to give it to you."
Look, here comes someone, tie him up for me!"
After giving the order, Cao's soldiers rushed forward and tied up the Han soldiers tightly.
The colonel stared at the general of Cao's army and said, "When the two armies are fighting, I will not kill the envoy. Isn't the general's move in compliance with the saying of caliber?"
The general of Cao's army raised his sword and smiled ferociously, "How dare you, a little Shu prisoner, just to use your words and imitate others to persuade him to surrender before the battle?"
When he struck with his sword, blood spattered all over the schoolmaster's face, and he subconsciously let out a scream.
General Cao held up the bloody sword and asked, "Is my sword sharper than your tongue?"
The principal felt a sharp pain in his left ear. He gritted his teeth and said, "Thief Cao, if you don't kill me today, I will definitely repay you in the future!"
General Cao laughed loudly, "I wanted to kill you, but now that you hear it, I will spare your life to see how you repay me."
"I just hope you can live longer and don't regret what you did today!"
The principal's teeth chattered.
"You are just a soldier in the army, what do I have to fear?" General Cao didn't care, "Okay, I'll teach you how to be polite in front of others. Now can you tell me what message your master has?
"
With a "boom", the big tree on Longshan fell down, and the auxiliary soldiers in the camp came forward with axes and saws to cut and saw the logs to make siege equipment or erect fences for the village.
Zhao Guang's former army just explored the battlefield situation first and set up a camp to prevent Cao's thieves in Guancheng from rushing into the formation.
The armies coming from behind should set up their respective camps at the arranged places.
Either in the valley or on the mountainside.
For a time, the people of Longdi were shouting Ma Xi and it was very lively and noisy.
Feng Yong returned to the tent and sat quietly, holding the military book given by Zhuge Liang and reading it carefully, waiting for news from Guancheng.
When he saw the sentence "The leaves are powerful, and they are in the same situation, they all form cliques and compete to advance to the enemy. If they don't do this, they will lose the battle." He stared at the word "憸" for a long time and scratched his head and thought. What is the word for bird?
I thought about it, and then flipped through "Shuowen Jiezi" for a long time, and saw that it said: Being honest is beneficial to the best, and a sycophant is also a sycophant. Listen to your heart and listen to your voice, and you will be honest and sincere.
"Xi Lian Qie? Xi Lian Qie, Xi Lian, isn't that the first sign?"
Feng Yong muttered, and then wrote a series of symbols on it: xian.
Then he added a note: villain.
At this time, the guard came to report, "General, General Zhao wants to see you."
"Let him in."
Feng Yong nodded.
Zhao Guangda stepped in and saw an angry look on his face, "General, I was ordered by the general to send a message to Guancheng. I never thought that the traitor Cao was really insulting me!"
"What happened?"
Feng Yong put down the book and asked.
"The garrison of Guancheng cut off the left ear of the messenger and said that my brother's sharp tongue was not as sharp as his sword!"
"Bah!" Feng Yong slapped the table and stood up suddenly, "Where is the messenger?"
The primary school boy came in with his head wrapped, and Feng Yongguo saw that the cloth covering the left side of his head was soaked with blood.
"The villain has seen the general."
This elementary school student has no left ear, but his face is calm, and he stands proudly with his fists clasped.
"What a strong man." Feng Yong saw that this man ignored pain. He first praised him, and then asked with concern, "The wound on your face is still bleeding. Why don't you let the military medical workers help stop the bleeding?"
"Back to General, this is the custom of the villain's tribe. Because the villain was humiliated by the traitor Cao, he made an oath to show that he will never forget this hatred."
I heard a look of resentment on the face of the principal, and he replied loudly.
"How magnificent!" Feng Yong cheered loudly, "I didn't expect that there are such high-minded people in our army, but..."
Feng Yong looked at the school carefully and muttered, "I just noticed that you look a bit familiar..."
"Back to the general, my name is Liu Hun. Before the Northern Expedition, I was recommended by Mrs. Zhang. I was mistakenly loved by the general and joined the army in the sharp camp."
When the principal said this, he straightened his chest again and looked at Feng Langjun in front of him with ardent eyes.
It was because of his yearning for Han culture that he traveled around the world.
After reading Feng Langjun's article "Xia Ke Xing", I was fascinated by Feng Langjun's literary talent and deeply admired the two chivalrous heroes Zhu Hai and Hou Ying in "Xia Ke Xing".
Although I dare not compare myself, I still say that I have the heart to promise more than the five mountains.
Feng Yong's heart trembled when he saw the obsessed look in this little fanboy's eyes.
Only then did he remember that this Liu Hun was a favor of Zhang Xingyi but not Han Long, and he recommended a person to him. He was the grandson of Qubei, a young prince of the Tiefu tribe of the right tribe of the Southern Huns, who claimed to be a descendant of Emperor Guangwu.
Liu Jin, the grandson of Liu Xiu, was a general of Liao Dynasty. He was captured in a battle to quell the Xiongnu rebellion. He was put under house arrest by the Huns under Dushan Mountain, where he married a wife and had children.
I heard from Liu Hun that Liu Jinbo had a son named Shili, and Shili had a grandson, his eldest father Qubei. Calculating this, he should be the fifth generation grandson of Liu Jinbo.
When he was ordered to go to Bei, he refused to attack Li Jue and Guo Si, and protected the Han emperor from Chang'an. He was a rare loyal minister.
Now that Feng Yong saw Liu Hun's appearance again, he finally believed it.
If there is no sense of loyalty, where can such generosity and pride come from?
Thinking of this, Feng Yong poured a bowl of water himself and handed it to Liu Hun, "Strong man, please drink."
"Thank you Mr. Feng!"
Liu Hun was so excited that he called "Lang Jun" instead of "general", took the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
Feng Yong watched him finish the drink, then took it with his own hands and put it on the table. Then he asked, "Who is the guard general of Guancheng? How can he be so arrogant?"
"Back to the general, after calling himself General White Horse, he called him Pang Hui. He also humiliated the big man in every possible way, saying that the general was just a kid with a soft mouth and a clever talker. What should he fear?"
When Feng Yong heard this, he was shocked. His first thought was: How did he know my name?
Then I remembered that in the past few years, Hanzhong and Longyouguanzhong had been secretly changing the market. If you were interested, it wouldn't be surprising if you heard the rumors about me.
It was the title of "White Horse General" that caught Feng Yong's attention.
"Isn't General White Horse Pound? Pang Hui, Pound's descendant?"
He looked thoughtful, and when he thought of such a person, his face gradually darkened.
Finally, I walked out of the handsome tent door and looked towards the tall Guancheng.
It turns out that the opposite side is Pang Hui, the son of Pang De, who massacred all the Guan family in the middle of Shu in history to vent his personal anger?
After Pang De was defeated and captured, Guan Yu did not express his anger at Pang De by shooting himself, but instead surrendered to Pang De with reason.
On the other hand, Pang De not only insulted Guan Yu, but even insulted Liu Bei. According to the war rules at that time, if he surrendered, he would be accepted, and if he refused, he would be beheaded. Therefore, when Pang De was killed, Guan Yu was not unreasonable.
Moreover, after Guan Yu was insulted by Pang De, he still treated his corpse kindly without losing his grace.
Both of them are obedient to state affairs, seek benevolence and gain benevolence, seek righteousness and gain righteousness, and cannot be regarded as private enemies.
But what Pang Hui did was completely villainous and was despised by others.
You did not seek revenge from Guan Yu himself on the battlefield, but you took advantage of the opportunity when the descendants of the Guan family could not fight back and killed all the old, young, women, and children of the Guan family without leaving a single one alive. This is not what a gentleman would do.
Feng Yong narrowed his eyes, remembering Pang Hui's behavior of first cutting off Liu Hun's ears and then humiliating himself, his eyes flashed, it seemed that this person was really not very open-minded.
Remembering that Guan Ji was his mistress, Feng Yong finally opened his mouth and slowly said, "You idiot!"
It's okay to scold me, they are all enemies anyway.
But it’s not good if you threaten my wife...
Turning his head, he ordered, "Zhao Guang, get ready, I want to go and survey the terrain myself."
Zhao Guang listened to the order and responded quickly: "No!"
Immediately, he went down and personally selected his own bodyguards to escort Feng Yong to Guancheng.
Cao Jun on the city saw a group of troops approaching, standing there from a distance, pointing at Guancheng, and immediately reported to Pang Hui.
Pang Hui heard about it and hurriedly came to the city. When he saw the people below the city standing there observing Guancheng without any scruples, they didn't take him seriously at all. He immediately shouted angrily, "Here comes someone with a big crossbow!"
There used to be a large crossbow in the east and west gates of Guancheng, but now they have all been moved to the west gate.
The soldiers obeyed the order and quickly brought over a large crossbow mounted on the bed frame. After placing it, they turned the winch and heard a rattling sound as the string of the crossbow began to tighten.
The movement at the top of the city was quickly noticed by Zhao Guang, and he quickly ordered, "Put up the shield!"
Although I and others were standing outside the range of the crossbow, there might be a sharpshooter on the opposite side.
The soldiers following behind quickly ran in front of Feng Yong and tightened their oars and shields.
Feng Yong stood still and carefully observed the terrain around Guancheng.
Longshan runs north-south, high in the northwest and low in the southeast. In this area of Longdi, Guanshan is the main peak.
Longguan, located on the east slope of the main peak of Guanshan Mountain, runs east-west and has only two east-west gates.
To the north is the top of Guanshan Mountain, and to the south is the side peak. The peak is as sharp as a knife and difficult to climb.
There is naturally no moat on the mountain, but Cao Jun must have been prepared for it. Many antlers and horses were erected in front of the pass. They were densely packed and looked very frightening.
At this time, all I saw was a big arrow suddenly emerging from the city, flying straight towards the city with the sound of whistling wind.
With a "swish" sound, the big arrow fell about ten meters away from his left and penetrated halfway into the ground, showing its strong force.
"Brother, be careful, this is a big crossbow!"
When Zhao Guang saw the big arrow, he shouted quickly.
Feng Yong waved his hand, the big crossbow was also the bed crossbow.
The accuracy of bed crossbows at this time was extremely low, and the hit rate depended on character. If you wanted to hit the target accurately, the probability of hitting the target was even lower than the chance of winning a big prize, and the lethality was far from the terrifying level it was in the Song Dynasty.
Pang Hui on the city saw the big arrow missed so far and thought it was a pity.
Feng Yong led the people back and forth a few more times, looked at the peak of Guanshan Mountain to the north of Guancheng, and thought thoughtfully. Finally, under Zhao Guang's repeated urging, he led the people away.
Returning to the valley and looking at the river at his feet, Feng Yong sighed and said, "The Prime Minister once told me that "The Records of the Three Qin Dynasties" contains: Longdi has nine slopes. I don't know how high it is. Those who want to go up can cross it in seven days.
"The high place can accommodate more than a hundred families, and there are four pours of clear water."
The so-called "Four Notes of Clear Water" actually means that there are many water sources in Longdi Mountain. With Guanshan Mountain as the dividing line, water flows down the east and west sides and merges into the rivers in Longyou and Guanzhong.
Feng Yong pointed and turned eastward, bypassing the river behind the hanging peak in the south of Guancheng. "If I guessed correctly, this river should go around behind Guancheng."
"Zhao Guang, ask General Wang to send soldiers who are good at climbing mountains to climb over the overhanging peak and see if there is a water source to the east of Guancheng."
As he said that, he looked towards the top of Guan Mountain to the north of Guancheng. There was a flag looming above it. There were Cao thieves stationed there, echoing the distance from Guancheng, and he frowned slightly.
The first day when Feng Yong led his army to Longguan City passed peacefully.
To the east of the main peak of Guanshan Mountain, there is a mountain spring. It originates from the top of the mountain and gurgling down. The spring water gradually becomes larger. It passes not far to the north of Longguan Mountain, flows down Longshan Mountain, and merges into the Qishui River in Guanzhong.
In the early morning in Longshan, the mountain forest was filled with clouds and mist. A small group of Cao soldiers were coming down from the mountain and found a small depression. The spring water flowing down from the mountain gathered here to form a small pool, crystal clear to the bottom.
The spring water on the mountain was not enough to supply all the army's needs, so people had to be sent down to fetch water.
The gang leaders took turns filling the barrels with water and began to return to the mountain.
The last gang leader squatted down and was about to fill the bottle with water when he heard a few "cuckoo" sounds coming from the front, and a pheasant jumped out of the grass.
There was some blood on its body, and it raised one foot without touching the ground. It looked like it was injured.
Gang Toujun's eyes lit up, and he knew that this pheasant must have just escaped from the mouth of a fox or a weasel. Although this kind of situation is rare in the mountains, it is not unheard of.
It seems that I got lucky today.
This was the rear area, and the Han army had no way to get around. The Huotou army had no sense of crisis. He crept over and suddenly pounced forward. The pheasant flapped its wings, but still could not escape.
Huotoujun was overjoyed, and just as he was about to get up, several black figures suddenly appeared next to him.
Before he could scream, his mouth was tightly covered by someone. While struggling, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the colorful face on the opposite side, which looked like an evil ghost. Thinking of the legend of ghosts in the mountains, his two senses suddenly felt wet.
A few dark figures took advantage of the cover of vegetation and clouds to drag the bandit soldiers deep into the forest.
Someone muttered in blunt Chinese, "It stinks!"
"Shut up!"
Wang Han, who was still tied with branches, cursed in a low voice.
