Weird Three Kingdoms

The drums roared, and there was a rush.

The soldiers of Wancheng were running around the city wall in a little panic, shouting and shouting from time to time, moving the wooden rolling stone arrows and spears back and forth.In the face of Cao Jun's attack, the defenders of Wancheng were obviously not as calm as the veterans of the hussars.

When Pang Shanmin received the information and climbed up the city wall with Huang Wan and Jiang Gan, Huang Zhong had already dispatched troops, deployed sentries and warning soldiers, and put the whole city under martial law, maintaining vigilance both inside and outside.

Cao Jun of Jingzhou, there are not many cavalry in the army formation, they seem to act as the responsibility of active battlefield, roaring to and fro, occasionally some cavalry cavalry of Cao Jun deliberately went to the edge of Wancheng's range to test, and then twisted and twisted on horseback Go, just like this can show your riding skills and hit the morale of the soldiers above Wancheng.

In the eyes of the hussars in Chang'an or the Northern Territory, these Jingzhou Cao soldiers acted like clowns, but for the soldiers in Wancheng, most of them were infantry, and they were not clear at all. What's the use of twisting like soft soup cakes on horseback, and they don't know whether being able to move freely on horseback counts as superb riding skills. They just feel that Cao Jun's flag is covering the sky and covering the sky, and the pressure is a bit overwhelming. out of breath.

"About 5000 people. 』

Huang Zhong squinted his eyes, estimated, and said to Pang Shanmin, "Don't worry, I'm probably here for a demonstration." 』

The soldiers in Wancheng, after deducting Huang Zhong's trilogy, the rest of the main soldiers are [-], and the auxiliary soldiers are over [-], but their combat effectiveness has to be doubled, which is [-]. As for the civilian husbands and so on, it is basically You can't expect it to have any combat effectiveness, at most it is just helping to transport some utensils, so it can be said that the combat effectiveness of the defenders of Wancheng is about [-], so Cao Jun wants to besiege Wancheng...

Five thousand is a little less.

"That's true," Jiang Gan said from the side, "there is a saying in the art of war, if you are ten, you can surround it; ...Cao's army is only three times as large as mine. Even if we gather together to attack, it will be difficult, so please don't worry. 』

Pang Shanmin nodded.

Jiang Gan turned to comfort Huang Wan again.

Huang Zhong heard Jiang Gan's muttering, he turned his head slightly, and met Pang Shanmin's eyes.

Pang Shanmin nodded slightly.

In the distance below the city, Cao Jun assembled into an array, shouting together.With the deployment of the general of Cao Jun, the banners were raised high from time to time, and they marched in a neat line, and then the banners fell to the ground, and the soldiers either hit the shields or stood on the ground, with great momentum.

War, as a gathering of human beings, has formed from a single individual to a huge array, so that everyone who stands in front of this array can't help but feel the fear of facing so many people alone. If there is no strong will, It is very easy to fall into tension and cannot extricate ourselves.

Huang Zhong also began to order the soldiers of Wancheng to start to arrange under the leadership of his trilogy.In front are sword and shield players, followed by spears and knives, and behind them are archers.There was also the sound of shouting and moaning on the city wall, and these Wancheng soldiers were also lined up neatly, slowly dispelling the fear of Cao Jun's massive attack.

Huang Zhong's trilogy is naturally considered elite. After being mixed with other soldiers in Wancheng, it seems that Huang Zhong immediately spread out countless tentacles and immediately integrated the originally loose defense of Wancheng. There were some changes in momentum between the appointments.

Cao Ren in the distance looked up.

In the Han Dynasty, it was said that it was hopeful and imposing, and then made various judgments, but obviously, most of them were false words.The so-called hopefulness is just a comprehensive consideration, just like Cao Ren looking at Wancheng at the moment, it is actually "hopefulness" from a certain angle.

Cao Ren needs to come and see for himself.

The Cao clan and Xiahou clan under Cao Cao, at least in the minds of Cao Ren Xiahou Dun and other head ministers, still focus on unity and the overall situation. Relatively speaking, people's interests are not too important, and they basically adhere to one loss The concept of mutual loss, one prosperity and mutual prosperity, personal temporary concessions and forbearance, and even sacrifices are acceptable.

But from the second generation...

Cao Ren squinted his eyes and estimated the time from Huang Zhong's command to the response of various departments, probably a little hesitant in his heart.

On the side of the Wancheng city wall close to Cao Ren, there were already crowds of people, and layers of large shields and spears stood on the side of the battlements, followed by the sound of trumpets.Some smoke began to fill the air above the city.

Cao Ren knew that this was boiling some boiling water, even golden juice...

After all, if the offense and defense are really launched, it can't be temporarily pulled, and then temporarily burned?

"Zidan's defeat is not unjust... This Huang Hansheng is very strict in governing the army..." Cao Ren muttered, and immediately ordered, "Come here, and go to the front of the battle to shout!" 』

Most of those who hold the position of preaching in front of the battle are real warriors.

After all, these days, you rely on a fleshy voice. If you want your words to be heard clearly by the other party, on the one hand, you need to have a loud voice, and on the other hand, you need to be close. It's safe, but what's the use if you can't hear what's being said?
A member of Cao Ren's military academy came out of the crowd, and went straight to the bottom of the city. Facing the arrows flickering on the top of Wancheng without fear, he shouted loudly: "I heard that Situ Huang visited Jingzhou at night, and a certain general swept his bed to welcome him." , then invite Huang Situ to move his feet and go to Xiangyang! 』

After this man finished shouting, even Cao Jun's soldiers also shouted loudly, "Huang Situ, move your feet and go to Xiangyang!"Move your feet and go to Xiangyang! 』

Huang Wan's face turned pale involuntarily, tired and frightened.He turned his head to look at Pang Shanmin, and then at Huang Zhong, his body trembling slightly.

Jiang Gan comforted him from the side: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Huang. It's just Cao Jun's unwillingness to be discouraged, and he came here to save face... Pang Shijun is the loyal and good man of the country, and he will definitely not let Mr. Huang..."

Halfway through Jiang Gan's speech, he suddenly saw Huang Zhong's eyes projected over him, his breath froze, he laughed twice, and kept silent.

Huang Zhong glanced at Jiang Gan up and down, then turned his head and whispered to Pang Shanmin: "Cao Jun did not carry any siege equipment. 』

Looking down from above, it is naturally clear at a glance whether there are big guys such as Chongche Yunlou in the array under Cao Juncheng.

"So...understood..." Pang Shanmin pinched his beard, "If you don't respond, you will also lose your momentum. 』

After finishing speaking, Pang Shanmin waved to a military academy. The military academy came, listened to Pang Shanmin's instructions, then turned around and went to the array of Wancheng guards to deliver the order. He shouted loudly: "If you want to fight, fight, if you want to attack, attack, stop talking nonsense, come to see Zhenzhang!" 』

The meaning of the word is simple and straightforward, and the Wancheng soldiers also shouted, and then they couldn't help laughing.

Cao Ren snorted, but he was not angry, but waved his hand slightly.I saw a path branching out of Cao Jun's formation, and then some Cao Jun soldiers dragged a few corpses out.Every corpse is basically bloody and bloody, horrible to look at.

Obviously, these corpses were those who followed Huang Wan, fell behind on the road, or those who gave their lives to intercept Huang Wan.

Cao Ren sneered, "Tell Huang Gong, since you don't want to be a guest in Xiangyang, that's all."But the mountains are high and the water is deep, so you have to be careful on the road! 』

The guards around Cao Ren responded loudly, and immediately yelled Cao Ren's words to Wancheng, which hit Huang Wan's ear.

I don't know if it was anger or fear, or some other strong emotion, Huang Wan immediately broke free from Jiang Gan's support, rushed to the edge of the battlements of Wancheng, pointed at Cao Ren and shouted hoarsely: "Rebel!The heaven and the earth are above, and one day, you and the others will all be punished!Kill it all! ! 』

Cao Ren raised his head and laughed, then waved his hands and ordered to evacuate.

With the sound of drums and trumpets, Cao Jun retreated in an orderly manner.

What exactly does Cao Ren mean?
Cao Jun just withdrew abruptly, as if they had come suddenly.It seems that Cao Jun came to Wancheng to demonstrate, or did he come for an outing?

Seeing Cao Ren's retreat, Huang Zhong also ordered that the security of Wancheng be lifted gradually, and the weapons and woods should be put away again. The most important thing is to turn off the golden juice first, so that there is no need to continue burning.

After all, that thing is Xiangpiaowei, one person and one brew connect...

cough cough.

On the other side, Pang Shanmin hurriedly let Huang Wan, who was exhausted and fluctuated greatly, go back to rest.Fortunately, in these days of the big man, even the food of the officials is far less sophisticated than that of the later generations, and the three highs are not too common, which did not cause Huang Wan's blood vessels to burst in public, but it is also obvious that his face is gray and exhausted .

Pang Shanmin gave his confidant a wink, and asked him to accompany Huang Wan and Jiang Gan, saying that they would take care of them nearby, and he could tell them if they needed anything, but in fact everyone knew it, and it was still surveillance.

Huang Wan didn't say anything, just sighed slightly.

But Jiang Gan said that he was very sorry for bothering Pang Shanmin, and only wanted to go to Chang'an as soon as possible.

Pang Shanmin hummed, he didn't say no, he didn't say yes.

It's not Huang Wan and Jiang Gan's people who are in trouble now.Because in this group of people, apart from Zhen Min and other three or five people who are somewhat brave, the rest have no fighting power.

It's the follow-up of these people...

kind of hard.

Seeing Jiang Gan supporting Huang Wan away, Pang Shanmin groaned for a while, then turned around and climbed up the city wall, and then leaned on the battlements to look towards Xiangyang. After a while, he said softly to Huang Zhong: "It's a bit weird... Han Sheng, what do you think?" ? 』

Huang Zhong frowned and said, "If you have to explain it, it can make sense. 』

That's right.

Pang Shanmin nodded.

The reason why he came out from Xu County was because Ren Jun was assassinated and at the same time he had a good relationship with the city guard, so he was able to escape under internal and external chaos.

From Xu County, you can go straight to Heluo, but you can also choose to go around Wuguan. Of course, the reason is reasonable, because Yangcheng has a heavy army of Cao Jun, so it is not easy to pass.

Almost all of Huang Wan's people died on the road, leaving only one personal servant with him.This can also be explained, after all, whether Huang Wan followed the route of the Holy Word, even some verbal power is useless on the way to escape.

As for Jiang Gan's talkativeness, it can also be interpreted as impatience, or running loyally for Huang Wan.

And Cao Ren's army came so well, it is also possible that for example, Cao Jun from Bowangpo notified Xinye Jingzhou nearby...

It can all be explained, but the problem is too many coincidences.

When there is a coincidence, it can be a coincidence, but too many come together, just like buying a lottery ticket in a later life and winning the jackpot.

Is this lottery ticket real or fake?

Of course, it was impossible for Pang Shanmin to be like that Mr. Jia who yelled and pledged his head as a guarantee, and insisted that Huang Wan and Jiang Gan were real or fake. After all, this matter related to the emperor.

Pang Shanmin is a native of Han, so he has very complicated emotions for Liu Xie.

Therefore, in his heart, there is even such a hope in case.

What if, what if it is true?

Pang Shanmin let out a long breath, and stood silently by the battlement, looking into the distance.

Although Huang Zhong sensed something wrong instinctively, his abilities were more on the battlefield, on the knives, bows and arrows in his hands, and he was lacking in these complicated things.After all, Huang Zhong was originally a hunter in Jingxiang, so he couldn't give Pang Shanmin any good advice.

"This Huang Gong...there is another Jiang Ziyi, all of whom are thin... If you talk about the ability of the tongue, maybe it is not bad, but if you want to fight to capture the flag, it will inevitably be insufficient..." Pang Shanmin said in a low voice, "Only that He is a ranger named Zhen, but he is quite brave, so he needs to be very careful...』

Huang Zhong nodded.

Pang Shanmin thought for a while, and then shook his sleeves, "Forget it, this matter is indeed quite strange, but I can't understand the details at the moment, so... now the key point is how to do it..."

Huang Zhong said: "I feel that Cao Jun came here to force you to make a choice as soon as possible. 』

Pang Shanmin nodded.

The so-called disposal, or choice, is actually nothing more than three kinds.

One is to keep these people in the city.

Of course, there are good reasons, such as Cao Jun intercepting and ambush outside, temporarily unable to find the opportunity to go to Chang'an, etc., but whether it is Huang Wan, Jiang Gan, or the taciturn Zhen Min, they are not familiar with Pang Shanmin and Huang Zhong. .It is not impossible to stay in Wancheng and be under strict supervision, like house arrest, but it is a bit too much to face someone with the "Secret Edict of the Son of Heaven", no matter how you say it, and the big man must at least respect him on the surface. His loyalty was completely violated.

In other words, there is a slight suspicion of detaining the minister.

What's more, if Huang Wan said that he didn't care about life and death, and didn't care about safety and danger, he would go on the road?

Forcibly detained?
So if Huang Wan and others were left in Wancheng, even in the name of Huang Wan's personal safety, what if Huang Wan didn't agree?He is the third prince personally appointed by the emperor, and no one can detain him unless the emperor orders.

If something goes wrong with the charge of impounding a minister, Pang Shanmin will take it personally, but the big man is not in the era when one person does things and one person bears the burden. Don't think that death will clear up the crime. Go up, and also have the full right of recourse for an unlimited time...

At the same time, Huang Wan and others staying in Wancheng are also hidden dangers.

The other is to throw it out and leave it to fend for itself, or send it back to Xu County.

But the problem is, neither Pang Shanmin nor Huang Zhong knew whether it was true that the emperor had issued a "secret edict" to the hussars. If it was true, then Pang Shanmin and Huang Zhong would ignore Huang Wan and others, or simply push them to Cao Jun, use this method to save yourself from trouble...

Regardless of what happened to the emperor Liu Xie, if it affected the follow-up development of Huqi Feiqian, it would be bad.

Even if it is a step back, even if Huang Wan is handed over to Cao Ren, Cao Ren will thank Pang Shanmin Huang Zhong for this, and will he let Wancheng go?

Obviously not possible.

The last solution, of course, is to send them to Wuguan.

But this method is the most troublesome.

It is also the most dangerous.

A large-scale dispatch of troops can certainly make Huang Wan and his party safer, but what about Wancheng?

The more escorts there are, the weaker Wancheng's defense will be.

If it is escorted by a small force, it is not only to find a way to avoid the possible pursuit of Cao Jun, but even to ambush, and whether it can successfully reach Wuguan. If he didn't die on the road, he couldn't return to Wancheng quickly when he arrived at Wuguan.

If Huang Wan’s safety must be ensured, Huang Zhong is actually guarding with his trilogy. If he finds an opportunity, he can break through Cao Jun’s interception. Woolen cloth?

As long as you choose to escort, it will definitely mean the reduction of Wancheng's power.

"Therefore..." Pang Shanmin pinched his beard, "This may be a conspiracy..."

Huang Zhong was silent.

"Hmph..." Pang Shanmin smiled, "But...it's easy to break it. The only thing I worry about is...whether this Cao Jun has a plan..."

Since from Wancheng's point of view, it is inappropriate to do anything, so if you want to break this situation, you need to introduce external force.

Pang Shanmin thought for a long time, then smacked his lips, "Oh, the mountain people are stupid, they can't think through... But they can only use pigeons... Let Chang'an know, and make a decision..."

Carrier pigeons are not a natural resource in Wancheng, they need to be brought from Chang'an, and within a period of time, if one is used, one will be missing.Carrier pigeons are one-way, and there is no guarantee of safety. After all, you may encounter eagles or hunters on the way...

Or, simply, the pigeon lost its way.Although this possibility is relatively small, it does not rule out that there are always a few homing pigeons who are stupid.

When the accident happened in Wancheng before, a carrier pigeon was used. Now there is only one carrier pigeon in Wancheng that can fly to Chang'an. If it is used on Huang Wan now, then there will be no new ones. Before the carrier pigeon arrived in Wancheng, there was no way to get in touch with Chang'an urgently if there was anything in Wancheng.

Is it worth it?
That's how it looks.

After all, sometimes, information is priceless, and if you know it earlier, it may be more effective one day earlier.

Seeing that Pang Shanmin had made a decision, Huang Zhong couldn't say anything, but he was still faintly worried.

The wings of the carrier pigeon fly and fly, and this flight is a day...
