Guan Yu's forged letter asking for help was written with the help of Lu Xiang and had the seal of the governor's office and Yuan Shang's seal. The fake letter also became real!
What's more, the attack on the city was sudden and fast. Nanpi was captured in less than two hours. The news book was sealed tightly, and there was no news about the other cities.
After receiving the request for help, they naturally quickly mobilized troops and headed towards Nanpi City.
Don't mention that there were previous instructions. In order to prevent being surrounded by people for reinforcements, troops are not allowed to be easily sent to rescue other cities. But the one who is trapped is Nanpi, and there is Yuan Shang inside. There really is something wrong. When the time comes, you
It's also a mistake to follow orders exactly. In this case, who's to blame?
The closest to Nanpi is Dongguang City in the southwest. As soon as he received the news, Zhai Lu, the general of the Dongguang City defenders, immediately ordered three thousand soldiers and horses to rush towards Nanpi to support him. He was careful and cautious along the way.
Fortunately, he didn't encounter any ambush until he reached Nanpi. Zhai Lu breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
When they arrived not far from Nanpi, they caught up with Guan Yu directing the attack on the 'South City Gate'. Both sides came and went, shouting and killing loudly. The fighting was so intense that the South City Gate looked crumbling, which frightened Zhai.
Lu immediately led his troops to threaten Guan Yu's flanks, and did not withdraw until Guan Yu withdrew his troops.
Taking advantage of the gap when Guan Yu withdrew his troops and had no time to deal with him, Zhai Lu cleverly led his troops around half a circle to the north of the city.
After showing the seal boy, Zhai Lu was questioned and examined carefully at the top of the city, and then he slowly opened the city gate, but cautiously, thinking to himself, Zhai Lu immediately commanded the army to quickly enter the city...
After entering the city, he didn't see Shen Pei or Yuan Shang. Zhai Lu just thought that his status was insufficient, and he didn't care except for a few slanders in his heart.
However, what's a bit strange is that he didn't even see the defending general Lu Xiang. Maybe the siege had just ended, and General Lu was arranging the wounded soldiers to prepare for Guan Yu to fight back?
While looking for reasons for Lu Xiang in his heart, Zhai Lu followed the leader and headed straight to the school grounds in the city.
When they arrived at the school grounds, they immediately brought hot rice and hot water to them. He also sighed that the reception was very thoughtful, and then followed them to a separate courtyard prepared to entertain the leaders...
Looking at the helmet and armor sitting in the courtyard, a Qinglong Yanyue Sword stood on the ground beside him, with a red face and three strands of short beard floating on his chest. If it weren't for the emerald green armor, Zhai Lu would have almost thought that this was Guan Yu himself.
...It's just that he has seen Lu Xiang, and it seems, maybe, probably, he doesn't look like this?
"Haha, haha, um, I'd like to ask, is General Lu Xiang Lu here?" With a smile that was uglier than crying, Zhai Lu swallowed unconsciously and asked.
"General Lu Xiang." Wei Yan imitated Guan Yu and narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "General Lu is under house arrest in the backyard. Why, do you want to accompany him?"
"Haha, what, just kidding, I..." Zhai Lu tried to calm down his heart that was about to jump out of his chest, looked at Wei Yan with a forced smile, and said with a weak, pitiful and helpless look: "If I say, I
I came to the wrong place, I didn’t see anything, can you let me go?”
He could see that this was just acting, and Nanpi City had already been destroyed!
Now this place is a pit, and as many as you come will fall into it, and you are the unlucky one.
"Pfft!" Wei Yan didn't hold back his expression for a moment and was amused by this guy, "Tsk, tsk, I guess it doesn't work."
"Ah, is that so? Then, I haven't asked this general about his name yet. The villain Zhai Lu is appointed as the captain of Dongguang County." People are like fish and meat, and those who know the current affairs are heroes. They will keep the green mountains without worries.
No firewood... A series of reasons filled Zhai Lu's heart, and he suddenly felt full of strength.
"This is Wei Yan, the deputy general under General Guan." Wei Yan wiped his beard.
"It turns out to be General Wei. I have admired his famous name for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. Sure enough, it is better to be famous than to meet, and to be famous is worse than meeting. General Wei has a dignified appearance, a dignified appearance, and an awe-inspiring righteousness. However, the chaff shines on himself, illuminating the liver and gallbladder..."
"Stop it!" Wei Yan was quite dumbfounded. He said that he looked down on such spineless people. It was true, but it was hard to make people angry when they praised themselves so much. "You don't have to be like this either."
, since you have surrendered, just be honest, our army never mistreats prisoners, if you have real talent and learning, you can still rise to the top."
"Okay, you can go out and cooperate with the relevant people to appease and recruit those Yuan Shaojun who are under your command." Wei Yan was not afraid of this kind of person causing trouble, so he waved people off with confidence.
"Thank you, General Wei, for your appreciation. I promise to complete the mission." After that, he raised his head and looked at Wei Yan, and summoned up the courage to say: "Actually, I can also be responsible for picking up people at the north gate. All the garrison generals from other cities in Bohai County, Xiao
If you are familiar with everyone, they will definitely not see any flaws."
This guy is quite clever. He felt something strange about Hejian County in the past two days. In the past, merchant ships from Hejian Lecheng or Chengping would come to him every two days. After all, he would get money every time, but recently there have been so many
There wasn't a single ship in the sky, and I vaguely heard that Liu Bei's army had captured everything there.
If he didn't take it seriously before, now that Nanpi has disappeared quietly, then it's over for Hejian.
He also knew that Yuan Shao was planning to attack Qingzhou next door. Dongguang was very close to the Qingzhou Plain. His personality was so natural that he paid close attention to relevant news. Now he thought about it, Yuan Shao hadn't sent out troops yet, and the Bohai and Hejian areas were gone. What could he do?
Okay, Yuan Shao wants to be cool... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think about how to save his life and go one step further.
People must have dreams. A life without dreams... ahem, that's what it means.
"You're not planning on playing tricks, are you?" Wei Yan looked at this guy named Zhai Lu and felt a little uneasy, but his proposal was indeed good. With his help, it would be difficult for others to see the flaws.
"How is that possible!" Zhai Lu jumped up as if he had been greatly wronged, "How could General Wei look at me like this? There is a saying: good birds choose trees to roost in, good ministers choose their masters to work, and when trouble comes,
Lord, how can we let this pass by?"
Are you worthy of being called a wise minister? Wei Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes, this is so shameless!
"Besides, haha, I, Zhai Lu, am a native of Dongguang, and my family is also in Dongguang. Is this villain able to escape? Even if he takes over the family plan, he will definitely not dare to have any evil intentions!"
"Is that so?" Wei Yan raised his eyebrows.
"Of course, there is no one in the whole Bohai Sea who doesn't know me, Zhai Lu. If you don't believe me, General Wei, ask General Lu, he also knows about me. So, leave this matter to me, just relax!" Zhai Lu patted him.
He held his chest open and looked brave and loyal.
Wei Yan nodded slightly, not to mention anything else, his talk was indeed suitable for this kind of deception...ah, I'm asking you to put yourself in a urn.
