Chapter 472 Huang Zhong: If it doesn't work, please behead me!
Chapter 472 Huang Zhong: If it doesn’t work, please behead me!
After Gao Shun came over, Cheng Lian, Li Su, Li Yan, Zhang Yi and others also came over.
Regardless of what they say or whether they take any actual actions, these people actually have a lot of resistance to Niu Fu just like Gao Shun.
However, these resistance emotions disappeared without a trace in an instant after seeing Liu Cheng in Niu Fu's camp, leaving only a deep surprise.
Their Uncle Liu Huang is indeed fine, he is still the same Uncle Liu Huang!
Looking at these generals who usually treat him politely or not very politely, when facing Kede, they are so respectful and enthusiastic, and some of them even seem to be more restrained. It's awesome.
The emotion in Fu's heart became even stronger.
Kede is Kede, he is just different from ordinary people.
Except for Kede, most people really can't suppress such a group of arrogant and powerful generals.
Anyway, if it were him, he would definitely not be able to do it.
When the thought came to this point, Niu Fu suddenly thought of what would happen if his father-in-law no longer existed.
My father-in-law has no son, so it is really difficult to clean up such a big mess.
At least after thinking about it, Niu Fu felt that it was troublesome and he really couldn't take it.
Thinking like this, he turned his attention to Liu Cheng, who was chatting and laughing with the generals.
Perhaps, only Ke De can do the job...
"Okay, time is limited, let's get down to business now."
After exchanging a few common words with these familiar generals, Liu Cheng got to the point.
"Everything that happened this time was a plan to attack Xiliang.
I came here this time to prepare for Xiliang.
The Xiliang people's vanguard is coming soon, I'm going to..."
Liu Cheng began to tell everyone about his plan.
The place fell into silence, and everyone was listening carefully to Liu Cheng's words.
"...This time, I am going to personally lead the troops to implement this plan. The generals accompanying me are Zhao Yun, Li Su, Li Yan, and Cheng Lian. They will lead a total of three thousand people. The rest are here in Aotou Mountain..."
After briefly telling everyone his plan, Liu Chenggong started to make decisions directly.
Niu Fu stood aside without saying a word the whole time, just watching.
He felt that after hearing what Liu Cheng said about the plan, someone would definitely raise objections.
After all, this plan is too dangerous.
And there was nothing wrong with what he was thinking.
After hearing Liu Cheng's arrangement, someone quickly raised their hands. This person was Gao Shun, who was generally not very talkative.
"Uncle Emperor, your plan will not work.
Why use a butcher's knife to kill a pig?
You only need to send a general to go there. You are the commander-in-chief and should guard one side. Your subordinates are willing to lead the troops on this journey for the emperor's uncle to ensure that the mission is completed!
If that doesn’t work, please behead me!”
Gao Shun looked at Liu Cheng and directly issued a military order.
"Uncle Emperor, my subordinates are also willing to lead us there!"
After Gao Shun opened his mouth and learned about Liu Cheng's arrangement, Huang Zhong, who had always wanted to say something, also spoke up.
Then the others also asked for orders.
Watching such a scene again, Niu Fu was a little stunned.
In this matter, I only guessed the beginning, but not the ending.
In the face of such a plan, what you should do is not to dissuade it and not implement it?
Why is it that no one has spoken out to dissuade me at this time, but instead keeps asking for orders?
You all seem to have different personalities on weekdays, but when Ke De comes over, you become more arrogant than the other?
At the same time, Niu Fu also felt that this was a good opportunity for Liu Cheng to step down.
Through a series of previous operations, Liu Cheng has shown everything that needs to be shown, and his morale has been mobilized. At this time, the generals are asking for orders. Liu Cheng can just go with the flow and find a reliable general to take over.
Give this task to the general and let the general do it.
I have all my face and face...
However, Liu Cheng refused directly.
"Don't say anything else, I need to handle this matter myself.
I am the commander-in-chief and the architect of this extremely risky plan.
If I don't lead the team myself, how can ordinary soldiers be willing to fight for their lives?
Time is urgent. Tonight, we have to complete many tasks such as ordering troops and horses, organizing supplies, and then marching thirty miles overnight into the swamp. There cannot be a moment's delay.
Okay, just do as I say."
Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's face, Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Don't worry about me, the soldiers can fight for their lives, why can't I, Liu Cheng, fight for my life? It's just a life.
Moreover, don’t you still know my abilities?
Let’s go to Bike Golden City!
I'm in Jincheng, waiting for you to defeat Xiliang's troops and drive them all the way to Jincheng, where we'll have a celebratory drink together!"
“Let’s have a celebratory drink together!”
“Let’s have a celebratory drink together!”
Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Huang Zhong and others stopped trying to persuade him and followed Liu Cheng in shouting loudly.
Niu Fu, who witnessed the whole process from the side, felt something stirring in his heart when he saw this scene.
At this time, he somewhat understood why Kede was able to win battles repeatedly and achieve extremely beautiful results.
Some people also understand why these arrogant soldiers are so convinced of Ked.
It is impossible for such a commander-in-chief to unite the hearts of the people!
Not to mention these people, even Niu Fu himself was a little enthusiastic at this time and wanted to join this action that he felt was extremely dangerous...
The operation was carried out quickly and as secretly as possible.
At midnight, Aotou Pass was closed and quietly opened from the inside. Liu Cheng, who once again grasped his big iron halberd, took the lead in walking out of Aotou Pass.
Behind him were many soldiers who looked very confused and had no idea what mission they were about to perform.
Holding the big iron halberd in his hand, Liu Cheng actually felt his blood boiling when he walked out of the pass and was blown by the still cold night wind.
It was as if something inside the body had been awakened.
After getting married, some of the battles that took place in Yushan where he lived with his wives were exciting, unforgettable, and even intoxicating.
But now, when he actually came to the battlefield and prepared for the battle that was about to begin, Liu Cheng felt that this kind of serious battle was even more exciting!
Without any hesitation, Liu Cheng, holding a large iron halberd, carrying a long bow on his back, and many arrows hanging from his waist, strode out of Aotou Pass and rushed to the battlefield again.
Behind him, soldiers will follow.
Although there were thousands of people moving, there were no voices, only the sound of some footsteps.
Although these soldiers and horses under Liu Cheng have been with Niu Fu for a while, they have never fought under Niu Fu.
Although Niu Fu knew that Liu Cheng's troops had high combat effectiveness and high-quality soldiers, he had never really seen them.
Only when you mobilize yourself at this time can you realize how high your quality is!
Liu Cheng arranged things in such a hurry, and the time given was very short. If his soldiers, even the most elite ones, had the help of others, they would not be able to leave until dawn.
Moreover, it is still far from Liu Cheng's level of silence and uniformity.
After very intuitively feeling the quality of the soldiers who accompanied Liu Cheng on the mission, Niu Fu suddenly no longer worried about Liu Cheng and his group's actions this time.
With a commander like Ke De and such elite soldiers, how could it be possible that things would not work out?
If even Kede and the others can't do this, then in this era, Niu Fu feels that no one else can do it...
Along with Liu Cheng and others left, there were also the materials that Liu Cheng and his group had escorted when they arrived.
When Liu Cheng and others came here, they said that the vehicle contained secret weapons. In fact, it was not too false. What was shipped was indeed a secret weapon.
It's just that these are things Liu Cheng specially formulated for this operation.
In addition to what they brought here, there were also some other materials specially obtained for these operations. At the beginning of the year, Dong Zhuo had arranged for them to be transported to Aotou Mountain along with the vehicles that normally transported grain and grass.
They are all sealed.
Dong Zhuo even gave special instructions to Niu Fu in the letter, and Niu Fu and others were not allowed to open it and read it.
It was not until tonight, when the military strategy was arranged and Liu Cheng asked about these things, then opened them, took out the contents, and distributed them to the soldiers who were going to follow Liu Cheng that Niu Fu knew what these were.
.
It seemed that his father-in-law had already known about this action, and Kede and the others were well prepared.
You don’t have to worry too much…
The gate of Aotou Pass closed quietly, and Niu Fu, who came here to see him off in person, returned to his handsome tent from here.
After today's events and witnessing the demeanor of Liu Cheng and others, Niu Fu seemed to have learned something, and the whole thing looked different.
At least facing Liangzhou pioneer Ma Chao who was coming tomorrow, he didn't feel panic at all.
After returning, Niu Fu did not go to bed immediately, but asked his soldiers to call out the generals such as Guo Si and Fan Chou who were under his command, as well as Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, Zhang Yi and Xun Yu who were left behind by Liu Cheng.
Come over and rearrange things with them.
After Liu Cheng came over, due to time issues, some things could only be discussed in short sentences.
And in order to take care of Niu Fu's mood and his majesty here in Aotou Mountain, he only told Niu Fu and let Niu Fu make arrangements.
"...Ma Chao's troops are coming in droves tomorrow. They must think that we have been tricked by them, feel that our place is empty, and want to take advantage of it.
Come tomorrow, there will most likely be a strong attack on our pass, so tomorrow we need to show weakness to the enemy. Don't stand with too many people on the pass. Try to have one person in the open and four people in the dark, so that Ma Chao can be defeated.
Wait for someone to be lured to you and fight.
Of course, you can't beat him too hard.
When beating, we need to hold back a little bit, so as not to expose all the strength of our troops here.
To prevent these people from realizing something is wrong and then retreating to Xiliang..."
After Niu Fu summoned these generals and important figures in the army, he immediately started talking and made military strategic arrangements and adjustments.
At the same time, Huang Zhong was appointed as a general and asked to lead the thieves he had conquered and trained in Woniu Mountain.
Of course, this alone is not enough, the number of people is too small.
Niu Fu directly obtained more than 2,000 troops and horses from his subordinate, Colonel Guo Si, and supplemented them with 3,000 troops and horses for Huang Zhong.
Guo Si was very cooperative.
This is an order from his immediate superior, and he does have a lot of troops and horses under his command now. When Li Jue left, he did not take all the troops and horses under his command. The troops and horses left behind in Aotou Mountain were temporarily under the command of Guo Si.
, Therefore, he naturally had nothing to say about Niu Fu's order.
At the same time, he also said that he would send troops out to carry out garrison plans on some small roads behind the mountains that people who cut firewood rarely used on weekdays, and arrange for people to do it.
When Niu Fu divided his troops before, Guo Si, who had been very obedient, raised objections on this matter.
The meaning was the same as what Niu Fu had said before. He felt that those places were inherently dangerous and thought that it would be impossible to have a large army. The Xiliang people themselves were at a disadvantage this time. These unimportant places should be ignored.
In fact, after Niu Fu finished talking about sending troops to garrison the path, he had expectations in his heart. He was expecting someone to stand up and put forward different opinions, so that he could use the same rhetoric that the boy Kede used to talk about himself not long ago.
Talk to the other person to show your extraordinary wisdom.
Fortunately, Guo Si stepped forward at this time.
Niu Fu was overjoyed when he heard this, but pretended to be calm on his face and said: "We can't take it lightly, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Have you forgotten that when the emperor's uncle attacked Xichuan last fall, Zhang Wenyuan risked his life and took the Yinping path, directly bypassing it.
Have you heard about Nishikawa's affairs?
Not long after this happened, the Xiliang people continued to attack our place, so they may not dare to fight to the death..."
With a somewhat majestic look on his face, Niu Fu recounted what Liu Cheng had said before and told everyone to listen, with a light of wisdom on his face.
Some of Liu Cheng's subordinates who stayed here were somewhat impressed by Niu Fu after hearing this.
In the past, I only heard that Niu Fu was a bit fond of mischief, but now it seems that this rumor is not accurate.
Although he is far inferior to the emperor's uncle, he can still be regarded as a qualified commander.
Guo Si, Fan Chou and other Niu Fu's old generals looked a little surprised, wondering why their Niu Fu generals looked different today than in the past?
Niu Fu saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, especially after seeing Guo Bang being speechless by his words, clasping his fists in front of him and expressing his admiration for him, Niu Fu felt in his heart
More comfortable.
It seems that in the future, I need to pay more attention to the words and deeds of this boy Kede, and quietly translate them into my own words. In this way, I can experience this feeling of pleasure again from time to time...
It is not yet certain what the course and outcome of this battle will be, but now, before the fight begins, our General Niu Da Zhonglang has already gained a lot of satisfaction through some special means...
Here in Aotou Mountain, things are getting busy again.
The busy work that Liu Cheng and the others were doing in preparation for leaving the customs before was a quiet kind of work. Now, with the end of Niu Fu's order, the generals followed his order and went back to the busy mobilization of troops and horses overnight.
It's a noisy kind of busyness.
Even though Niu Fu had explained it beforehand, he still couldn't stop it.
Niu Fu, who had not yet fallen asleep, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he heard the noise. These soldiers and horses were so different from those led by Zha Kede...
…
Dozens of miles away from Aotou Mountain, at the third watch, the Huotou Army, under Ma Chao's order, was already busy cooking.
At the fourth watch, all the soldiers were woken up to eat and then quickly organize their things.
At the fifth watch of the day, before dawn, everyone lit torches and started on their way.
Ma Chao took the lead, his blood boiling in his heart.
We are about to reach Aotou Mountain, and it’s time to show off our talents!
The army marched forward ten miles away, and the sky became slightly brighter.
After traveling another ten miles, the sky became completely bright.
Ma Chao stopped, ordered some repairs, and asked the hungry soldiers to take out the dry food they carried with them to satisfy their hunger.
Today, he was preparing to directly attack the camp at Aotou Mountain. He wanted to catch Aotou Mountain by surprise and attack it with overwhelming force!
Therefore, the physical strength of soldiers is very important...
“Coming, coming!
The thief is coming!"
At ten o'clock at noon, the sun hung in the sky without any warmth. Here at Aotou Pass, we could see some small black dots moving in the distance.
Those little black dots are the pioneers led by Ma Chao!
Here at Aotou Pass, there was no tension at all, but rather excitement.
The thief is finally here!
Ma Chao was also excited at this time. After days of rapid march, he finally saw Aotou Mountain!
However, he did not directly shout for the soldiers and horses to charge with him, but just headed towards Aotou Pass at normal speed.
The main reason is that he has some plans in his heart and wants to try them out to see if they can be realized...
The soldiers and horses marched all the way until they stopped at a place more than two hundred steps away from Aotou Pass.
"I am the son of the prefect of Jincheng. I received a secret order from Master Dong to go to Guandong to fight against Zhu Jun. After receiving the order, I came day and night. Please open the door quickly and let me wait!
The military situation is urgent and there is no room for any delay!"
Ma Chao leaped on his horse and raised his gun. More and more people came forward and shouted at the door.
Niu Fu couldn't help but smile when he heard Ma Chao's words.
This little guy knows how to pretend.
It’s already this time, but you’re still lying to me!
It's a pity that Kede is not here. There is no one like him in the army who can shoot an arrow two to three hundred paces and possess great power.
Otherwise, at this distance, Ma Teng's eldest son could be killed with one arrow.
"Come here and tell him this."
Niu Fu called someone over and said this in a loud voice.
This is the messenger with a loud voice.
Soon, a voice came from the Aotou Gate: "My general, the general, said that since you are a person who has received a secret order from the Grand Master to go to Guandong for support, please come forward and open the door so that you can come over quickly.
At this time, the battle in Kanto is really stalemate!"
Ma Chao was so happy when he heard this, he didn't expect that his strategy actually worked!
Immediately, I waited for the door of Aotou Pass to be opened by the people inside.
As long as the people at Aotou Pass dare to open the door, he will dare to enter.
No matter whether the people inside were playing some conspiracy or not, he didn't care.
In his opinion, nothing was more uncomfortable than the Aotou Pass blocking the way.
As long as the person inside dares to open the door, he can make it unclosable!
After waiting for a while, the door closed and showed no intention of opening.
Ma Chao shouted again: "Please open the door quickly, don't waste time!"
The person who closed the door got Niu Fu's signal and said: "Hurry up and come to the front, and I will open the door immediately!"
Ma Chao was furious after hearing this, knowing that his plan, which was probably going to fail, had completely failed.
I couldn't help but yell at the person on the wall: "Open the door!"
The person on the wall moved his fingers and shouted to Ma Chao: "You! Come here!"
Arrogant attitude, with some teasing.
This incident immediately made Ma Chao furious.
"Let's go over there, it's not the heroes we're afraid of!"
He roared loudly.
Then he ordered the soldiers around him to raise a black flag high and wave it vigorously.
As the flag waved, the front of the military formation soon split open.
Ma Chao, who was at the front of the military formation, also followed the cracked military formation and came to one side.
Behind the cracked military formation, a large number of infantry were exposed.
There are nearly thirty of these infantrymen holding ladders.
This was brought over by Ma Chao when he started from Jincheng County and was on the edge of Jincheng County.
The people of Liangzhou have been preparing for such a long time, so it is impossible that they are not prepared with weapons.
From the beginning, they felt that it would not be easy to pass through Aotou Pass easily, so they prepared a strong attack from the beginning.
"Everyone, follow me and charge! We will definitely descend Aotou Pass with one drum!"
In front of the infantry formation, a general wearing leather armor, a pair of goggles on the front and back, and wolf head pads on his shoulders shouted loudly.
"Rush! Only by rushing can we survive! Only by opening this barrier can we live a good life!
Everyone, follow me, Pang De, to charge!"
As soon as the roar fell, Pang De and his soldiers rushed towards Aotou Pass in person.
The rest of the people also screamed and charged together with Pang De!
The battle started in less than a quarter of an hour after Ma Chao led his troops here!
When Pang De and others began to charge towards Aotou Pass, Ma Chao's other three thousand men quickly took down the bows and arrows they carried with them. Under the loud roar of the general, they quickly made preparations to suppress Aotou Pass.
Assist Pound and others in their charge.
When he saw Ma Chao, he rushed directly to the pass. There was no need for Niu Fu to give orders, there were archers preparing.
On the front, there are spearmen coming forward...
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The sound of arrows piercing the air sounded, and a large number of feather arrows began to rain down from the top of the city towards Pang De and others who were charging.
Mainly take care of those who charge with ladders.
And the more conspicuous Pound.
Suddenly there were screams.
Someone was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground wailing.
But the charge will not stop because of this.
Pound held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and was moving quickly. Those carrying the ladder also held a round shield over their heads with one hand and ran away holding the ladder with the other.
After being shot to death more than a dozen soldiers in succession, Pang De and others, who were running on the front line, finally arrived in front of Aotou Pass.
Just as he was about to set up the ladder, he suddenly heard a noise, smoke and dust flew everywhere, and the world began to spin for a while.
