The trail leading straight into Langshan Mountain was instantly filled with darkness. At a glance, it was difficult to estimate the number of people there!
In order to show off, the three Zheng brothers deliberately rode forward and walked side by side with Dong Guoyuan. It was obvious that they wanted to please Dong Guoyuan. It was really a tickle with six fingers - extra flattering!
Dongguo Yuan was so arrogant that he didn't even look at the three brothers!
Zheng Jin suddenly thought and said with a smile: "General Dongguo, as a general of the Chu camp, you must have fought many battles, right? Your majestic appearance will make us brothers envious!"
Dong Guo Yuan said coldly: "I'll talk to you now. Hurry up and lead the way. The most important thing is to quickly capture this rabble in Langshan!"
Zheng Jin was rejected, but still had a charming smile on his face and continued: "General Dongguo taught you a lesson!"
It's the sound that falls.
Suddenly I heard Zheng Yi exclaiming: "Not good!"
Hearing his shout, everyone was shocked and stopped moving forward.
Dong Guoyuan was stunned and said: "Why are you panicking? It's a taboo for military officials to be startled and make a fuss!"
Zheng Yi hurriedly said: "Look at the intersection up the mountain over there, our two brothers died there!"
Dong Guoyuan said disapprovingly: "How can there be no death in a war? It is normal for one or two people to die, so why make such a fuss?"
Zheng Yun said hurriedly: "General Dongguo, don't worry. It seems that we have already alerted the enemy. I think we should make a long-term plan to avoid letting our brothers fall into their conspiracy!"
Dongguo Yuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Aren't your three brothers afraid of those rabble? Listen, I, the general, now order your three brothers to bear the brunt of the attack and quickly send people up the mountain to capture the Langshan gang.
Next, I will lead my troops to guard here to cut off their retreat. They are now like turtles in a urn, and it is hard for them to fly even if they have no wings!"
The three Zheng brothers never expected that Dongguo Yuan would make such a move, which made the three brothers immediately very passive. After all, he sent troops nominally to help Tu Jin capture Langshan, but it did not mean anything.
Without the intention to contribute, just sitting back and watching the fight between tigers and tigers is actually getting an advantage and acting like a good boy!
As the eldest brother of the three, Zheng Yun certainly did not support such an arrangement for the safety of his brothers and the group of Kongmengshan subordinates he brought with him. He couldn't help but said: "General Dongguo, these rabble are already ours.
The dish is on the menu, why don't we all work together to attack the mountain and capture them in one fell swoop? The strength of my troops is very different from that of Langshan's group. I'm worried that this attack method is not decisive enough, and in the end some remnants will take advantage of it.
And run away!"
Dong Guoyuan said angrily: "It's no wonder that you are still an elite on the road. How can you fight if you are so timid? Even if there are fish that slip through the net, aren't there still my general's men here to cut off their escape?"
Zheng Yi thought for a while and felt that just by bringing the men and horses from Kongmeng Mountain to fight up the mountain alone, they would not be able to take advantage. Dongguo Yuan could not be allowed to sit here and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits of this fisherman!
He couldn't help but chuckled and said: "General Dongguo, to be honest, all three of my brothers went into battle with injuries. There is a huge disparity in strength between the brothers under my command and the men and horses on Langshan Mountain. To fight up the mountain, wouldn't it be like an egg against a stone -
Are you overestimating your own capabilities? This extermination campaign can only succeed and cannot fail. If you are not careful and it fails, you, general, will have no place to put your face in the future? Do you think so?"
This is really what Zhuge Liang said about Zhou Yu - it is better to challenge the general than to challenge him.
Although Dong Guoyuan knew that this was a way to provoke the generals, he still refused to accept this tone because he wanted to save face. Aren't there just a few small bandits? Why bother with so much trouble? Lead the cavalry and kill them up the mountain in one fell swoop. Already?
He couldn't help laughing and said: "Although you guys seem to be indifferent, you are cowardly. Well, in that case, I promise to give you a thousand cavalry. Each of them will be able to fight with one enemy." With hundreds of brave and good generals, plus all your brothers from Kongmeng Mountain, I think it is more than enough to wipe out this rabble. The remaining people, led by me, will guard the bottom of the mountain and cut off their escape route."
The three Zheng brothers knew that this was already Dong Guoyuan's biggest concession. If he made any further demands, Dong Guoyuan would definitely not agree, fearing that it would immediately cause internal strife.
Zheng Yun cupped his hands and said, "Everything will be subject to General Dongguo's arrangements!"
The three brothers of the Zheng family stepped forward on their horses. With a wave of Zheng Yun's hand, all the brothers in Kongmeng Mountain behind immediately caught up.
Dongguo Yuan said to Ming Xun beside him: "You lead a thousand cavalry to follow them and help them capture Langshan quickly!"
Ming Xun naturally accepted the order, and immediately led thousands of cavalry and followed closely behind the three Zheng brothers!
The army formed a ribbon and marched slowly towards the intersection of Langshan Mountain.
The two Zheng brothers couldn't help but become furious when they saw the two brothers lying on the ground at the intersection. Zheng Yun jumped off his horse, felt around the two dead men, and sighed: "The two brothers died inexplicably. Not a single scratch!"
Ming Xun stepped forward and said coldly: "If you are dead, you are dead. Why should you be like your dead father?"
Zheng Yun was even more furious when he heard that, his eyes suddenly drifted towards Ming Zhen, but he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak!
Zheng Yi hurried forward, slowly squatted down and whispered to Zheng Yun: "Brother, at first we dealt with Cang Lonelang's two brothers and threw them in the grass over there, but for some reason our two Will the brothers be killed at this intersection?"
Zheng Yun did not answer his question directly. He stood up slowly, glanced at Ming Xun coldly, then jumped on the horse again and slowly advanced towards the road up the mountain!
