There is a valley between the tall peaks on both sides of the bank, 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: "Sir, it doesn't look like there will be anyone coming to attack tonight. Sir... brothers are coming from a long distance, right..."
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.
——"Is 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 can't 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 regret due to negligence!"
With this in mind, Mi Fang immediately angrily criticized 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.
——"Tonight...I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep!"
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 visit 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...
All of a sudden, 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?"
Wenpin couldn't help but his mind suddenly changed...
Lieutenant General Niu Jin asked: "General, the brothers are here, do you still want to fight?"
This sentence is very urgent...
How could Wenpin not realize that Niu Jin was sharpening his knives and eager to try?
Ever since the defeat in Sunset Valley, ever since Cao Chun died, ever since their celestial general Cao Ren fainted, the troops under Cao Ren have been holding back their energy from top to bottom.
Just waiting for today... just waiting for this night, to burn down Guan Yu's ship, not only to take revenge, but also to turn the tide.
But...
Now, is it the last step?
The enemy troops secured the valley in advance!
Can they... still retreat? They still want to continue fighting!
Wenpin looked around and felt the determination and courage of these knights.
——"How can there be an arrow to turn back when the bow is drawn?"
Thinking of this, "Hahahaha..." Wenpin laughed loudly. He changed from the hidden silence just now and took off the muzzle of his war horse and the wrapping around the horse's hooves.
Wenpin shouted: "Take these off!"
Speaking of this, he continued: "Brothers, the person stationed at Fuhu Mountain is just Mi Fang, the prefect of Jiangling City. If it were Guan Yu, maybe I would be a little more afraid of it, but if it is Mi Fang, haha... I can't ignore it.
Native chickens and dogs!”
Speaking of which…
With a "swish" sound, Wenpin pulled out his sword, reflecting the faint "moonlight"...
The sharp edge on the saber is clearly visible.
"——General Wenyuan's eight hundred can still defeat one hundred thousand enemies, and what's more, this Mi Fang is a fool! The Mi family army, haha, that's a joke! Brothers, follow me to kill, destroy the valley, burn the warship, and lead the army
This is Wei Xiangfan’s first achievement!”
"——Glory and wealth are here, fight here! Follow me and kill!"
A command...
With the sounds of "Dede, Dede..." the war horses neighed.
These knights of Cao Wei roared loudly, as if the silence all night had suddenly exploded.
They want to demonstrate to the defenders of Fuhu Mountain...
Tell them that wherever Cao's army passed, not a blade of grass was left behind!
Then…
First there was the sound of hundreds of horses' hooves "--ta-ta-ta-ta", followed closely by "dong-dong-dong"...thousands of horses' hooves.
For a moment, the sound of these horses' hooves echoed in the valley, and the entire Fuhu Mountain seemed to be boiling.
And these three thousand Cao Wei knights seemed to have been greatly inspired, and the eyes of each of them, without exception, shot out a green light!
They no longer have to worry about the "clatter of horse hooves" disturbing the enemy.
They also disdain to attack the unsuspecting enemy at night...
Now that the enemy has laid down their battle array, they simply launch the most ferocious charge towards Fuhu Mountain. The brave one will win when they meet on a narrow road!
In an instant…
The sharp halberd reflected a dazzling light under the moonlight.
Another one:
——A murderous night with dark moon and high wind!
…
…
The sound of a horse's hooves is "tap-tap"
The sound of the hooves of a hundred horses is "dong dong"...
The sound of the hooves of thousands of war horses is - "Boom, boom, boom!"
For a time, the sound of the hoofbeats and the neighing of three thousand cao cao horses echoed in the valley of Fuhu Mountain, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time.
And these... reached Mi Fang's ears in an instant.
After hearing the scout's report, he almost jumped up and down.
——"His uncle's house is really under enemy attack!"
A cry of surprise…
Normally, Mi Fang would have taken off his armor and gone to sleep, but tonight... because of his "great wealth", his armor has not left his body, and he even still holds a saber in his hand.
He was afraid that something unexpected would happen and the money he received would shrink all at once!
Whatever is scary...just come!
——"Your sister...she's really beaten!"
Mi Fang murmured something, and in an instant, his thoughts changed rapidly.
——"That is to say, Yun Qi... Yun Qi's letter is not just to deceive Ma Liang, but... there is a real enemy! Is that Wenpin really coming to kill him? Wenpin... your uncle, why is it like this?
Where’s Wenpin?』
With a "gudong" sound, Mi Fang subconsciously swallowed, as if... the reputation of Wenpin still made him a little scared.
So much so that the whole person became nervous.
But it was just a short moment of confusion.
Mi Fang was already able to straighten her back. As a general who followed Liu Bei on the battlefield and had been "surprised" countless times over the years, Mi Fang had rich experience in dealing with such surprise attacks and night attacks.
"——Line up...Line up to meet the enemy, meet the enemy! And the horses...get the horses ready!"
Mi Fang shouted loudly. Although her tone was a bit panicky, her deployment was rare and orderly.
More than ten years of experience in fighting in the north and south, and the experience of being "sudden" countless times, made him subconsciously make arrangements...
The purpose of formation is to delay the enemy's offensive.
Facing the enemy is to make the brothers proud and delay for a while.
As for preparing horses... this is what Mi Fang needs to find a way out.
If you can't beat him, you must get a hammer as soon as possible!
As long as life is still there, nothing matters and everything can be left behind.
This is... something I learned from following Liu Bei for so many years and traveling all over the country.
——It’s also such a painful realization!
only…
In stark contrast to Mi Fang's panic... are his songs.
These people stood firm one by one, even...looking at Mi Fang with great admiration.
"——What do you think, God..."
"——Now our army's chariot formation and crossbow formation are stationed at the mouth of the valley. Even if the enemy's troops come with thousands of cavalry, how can we break through? I have such a good calculation. This is a meritorious service that God wants to bestow on me!"
Well…
Bu Qu blurted out these words, and Mi Fang came back to her senses.
It seems...this enemy's surprise attack is completely different from the previous tragic experience of being "surprised" by the enemy when he followed Liu Bei!
This time, he...he was prepared, and he was extremely well prepared!
indeed…
Because of Mi Fang's "greed for money and profit".
Because he is determined to defend these ships...
Therefore, today's car formation and crossbow formation have been set up in advance, and the soldiers are following the valley...each guarding the dangerous points!
Just when they heard the hoofbeats of the war horses and the enemy's shouts of killing, Mi Fang's subordinates not only did not panic at all, but one of them was extremely excited and prepared for battle.
The entire military formation was not in a panic at all. They had already prepared themselves and were waiting for the enemy to enter the shooting range and shoot them into a sieve!
hiss…
At this moment, Mi Fang took a breath of cold air. He even rubbed his eyes and muttered in his heart.
——"These chariot formations and crossbow formations...were they set up by me?"
At this moment, he felt like he was in another world.
And the praising voices of the tribesmen continued, "Master is wise, if the enemy's purpose is to burn the ship, he will definitely have to pass through this valley, but the Fuhu Mountain Valley is like a gourd, easy to defend but difficult to attack... Under the car formation,
Enemy cavalry? How can they advance even an inch? The crossbowmen on both sides can even use the enemy cavalry as targets to shoot at... The master can predict it to such an extent, it is truly a miracle!"
——"Am I a god?"
Mi Fang has been praised so much that she is confused.
Because the terrain is slightly higher, Mi Fang can clearly overlook the entire terrain.
He suddenly realized a very important issue.
Indeed...the formation of vehicles blocking the entrance of the valley is like a great steel wall. In this way, unless the enemy's cavalry uses flying vehicles, otherwise...isn't it just a target for others to shoot into and turn them into hedgehogs?
Thoughts on this…
Mi Fang became energetic. He was no longer timid. A generous and courageous spirit swept through his body, and he said loudly.
——"Hahahaha... Wenpin'er is here indeed! Hahahahaha..."
——"I have long expected that he will come to raid Funiu Mountain, and I am here waiting for work just to inflict heavy damage on him! He came just in time!"
——"Brothers, hold your position and cheer me up. This battle has been won. I have a heavy responsibility..."
Mi Fang originally wanted to say, "I have a big reward."
But suddenly he came back to his thoughts and thought... Mi Fang couldn't take this huge reward out of his own pocket!
He was guarding the warships for Jingzhou, and this "heavy reward" came from public funds and came from the treasury.
Immediately, Mi Fang quickly changed her mind, "We won this battle, and the second general will be rewarded heavily!"
While he was talking, the enemy cavalry arrived, Mi Fang raised her knife and shouted.
——"Shoot...I shot them through the general!"
--"shoot!"
At this moment, he was like an unparalleled and unyielding general standing still when the enemy invaded!
…
…
Changsha County, Post House.
After all, Zhuge Ke was thrown into the well, but he was still dishonest. He was already struggling and roaring.
It seemed that he realized that roaring could not attract any attention.
Zhuge Ke directly recited the story in "Warring States Policy" out loud.
——"Zou Ji was more than eight feet tall, and his appearance was beautiful. He wore court clothes and looked into the mirror. He said to his wife, "Who is more beautiful than Mr. Xu from the north of the city?" His wife said..."
——“Today Qi is thousands of miles away and has hundreds of cities. Every palace lady on the left and right is secretly interested in the king, every official in the court is afraid of the king, and everyone in the four realms is asking for help from the king. From this point of view, the king’s shield is very deep.”
These shouts, shouted at the top of one's lungs, echoed throughout the post house.
Naturally, it spread to Guan Lin and reached Zhang Xingcai’s ears.
Zhang Xingcai, who was grinding Zhang Xingcai for Guan Lin in the study, couldn't help but ask: "What is that boy named Zhuge carrying?"
Guan Lin wrote as usual and replied: "Zou Ji satirizes the King of Qi for accepting advice!"
"What is this?" Zhang Xingcai became more and more curious.
Guan Lin explained patiently, "A story in "Warring States Policy"... is quite interesting."
"What's it about?"
"There is a man who is very narcissistic. Every day when he gets up, he looks in the mirror and asks his wife, his concubines, and the guests who ask for him, who is more beautiful: him or Xu Gongmei from the north of the city? Everyone says it is Xu Gongmei.
! But in fact, he is not as beautiful as Xu Gongmei! From this, he had an epiphany, and King Qi also had an epiphany!"
As if...such a story did not attract Zhang Xingcai, and Zhang Xingcai became even more confused.
"Why does this boy with the surname Zhuge recite such a story?"
"Zou Ji satirizes the King of Qi for accepting advice". Zou Ji uses beauty to persuade the King of Qi to open up his voice. It is said that the wife of a minister is private to his ministers, the concubines of a minister are afraid of the minister, and the guests of a minister want to ask for help from the minister. They all use beauty to be more beautiful than Duke Xu...
For the King of Qi, it means that 'all the ladies in the palace are selfish about the king, all the ministers in the court are afraid of the king, and all the people in the four realms are asking for help from the king'...You try to compare it."
Guan Lin made such a comparison, and Zhang Xingcai suddenly became clearer. "Then this guy is using this article to mock you...for not accepting advice? Oh...he is mocking Brother Yun Qi for not listening to his advice!"
Hearing Zhang Xingcai’s words…
Guan Lin finished writing the last word and said as he was writing, "That's right, the devil knows... what does Zhuge Ke think about all day long!"
"Let him calm down in the well and think about it carefully. I never thought that he would do nothing! It seems that he can't add words to his words, and Lantian Uncut Jade is nothing more than that!"
At this moment…
Guan Lin was thinking of Zhuge Ke.
Throughout history, he was actually very talented, and his life was also very brilliant, but he ended badly.
Even...Guan Lin can see many shadows of his father Guan Yu in him.
The same overwhelming pride;
The same arrogance and arrogance;
Just as headstrong.
Originally, Zhuge Ke was just in Soochow, and Guan Lin wouldn't have much interaction with him.
But...now that he has been adopted by Zhuge Kongming, it is different.
Considering the shortage of talents in Shu Han.
Guan Lin needs to add a handful of soil to this "blue sky jade" and apply some stronger fertilizer.
After all, he is only fifteen years old... He is more malleable than his father.
Once you can abandon the so-called "relying on one's talents and being arrogant"
Not guaranteed...
He can become Guan Lin, Zhuge Kongming, and a great help to Shu Han.
Guan Lin is betting that if he plants a seed, one day in the future, this seed can grow into a strong fruit, and whether he can fight side by side with Guan Lin and become the most reliable comrade-in-arms!
After all, no matter how powerful Guan Lin is, he is still just a person.
Three Kingdoms, this is a team game...
No matter how powerful one person is, he cannot be as powerful as a group of people.
——Ji Han is the leader and must recruit talents. There is a long way to go!
Thinking of this, Guan Lin shook his head slightly and handed the written bamboo slip to Zhang Xingcai.
"Sister Xingcai, please throw this into the dry well for me..."
"What did you write?"
"A story."
"What story."
Well, Guan Lin paused, pondered a little, and answered Zhang Xingcai truthfully: "The story of a frog sitting in a well and looking at the sky!"
The story is this story.
Guan Lin wrote it all night.
But in fact, Guan Lin was restless throughout the night.
For the time being, he was not worried about Zhang Zhongjing or Zhuge Ke. He was more worried about Fuhu Mountain.
The devil knows.
How far has the situation over there developed?
Who knows what the situation in Jingzhou will look like after this night is over!
