Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 157

Meng Da really felt a little depressed.

He has just completed the expansion, and there are only more than [-] people, and there are nearly [-] recruits who have not received much training.

Although he has brought the three thousand pieces in his hand for a long time, he is not worried about any problems that Jiang Cao will cause.

But with such a small number of people, he definitely can't lead the army.

He doesn't have the influence of the Shen family here, so he can't recruit so many young and strong. If he uses force, the people may change in a day or two...

So he was waiting, waiting for Cao Jun to arrive.

In the end, before Cao Jun came, I heard that Liu Feng acted first to occupy Shangyong. Fortunately, the Shen brothers seemed to have run away.

He began to wait again. Since Liu Feng made the first move, he believed that the Shen family would make a big move, and he had to wait for news from the Shen family to cooperate.

Waiting and waiting, finally the Shen family's messenger arrived.

Meng Da excitedly took the kit from the messenger, and impatiently took out...a piece of torn linen.

Yes, Meng Da turned it over to see that it was also a piece of torn linen.

There's even a sweaty smell on it, and patches of stains...

Before Meng Da asked, the emissary was already frightened and begged for mercy, saying that when the Patriarch handed it to him, he clearly stated that it was a secret letter, so he had to deliver it to you personally.

The Shen family went to great lengths to send an envoy to bring him a rag to wipe off his sweat, just to tease Meng Da?Come to think of it, it's really not necessary.

Unwilling Meng Da had an idea, maybe there is another mystery in this piece of linen?

Soak it in water, soak it in oil, pour it in chicken blood, or even roast it with fire...

After much tossing and turning, Meng Da was finally convinced that this motherfucker was just a rag to wipe sweat off!
That's a possibility. I'm afraid that Zhenmixin has been dropped by someone halfway.

Meng Da's heart tightened when he heard the news, he could only be Liu Feng's people who could do such a thing.

But soon he relaxed again, so what if he knew?
The Shen family guarded the west entrance, and they guarded the east entrance. If Cao Jun came, he would go to the Yongbei entrance.

If the news can't be sent out, and the rescuers can't be moved, even if Liu Feng finds out, he can still get out of the sky with 3000 troops?

It's just that there is no news from the Shen family now, and when to send troops is a problem.

"Report to the general! There are ships coming from the east, and it can be seen that the army is about to enter the three counties."

Meng Da was not surprised but pleased when he heard the news. The lower reaches of the Mian River are still in the hands of Cao Wei. Jingzhou has just experienced a big battle. It cannot be Guan Yu who comes, it will only be Cao Jun!
As soon as Cao Jun arrives, he can send troops directly. No matter what the Shen family is up to, it shouldn't be a problem to take down Shangyong.

After confirming that it was Cao Jun, Meng Da directly led his guards out of the city to show his sincerity, and greeted him respectfully at the pier.

Waiting for the boat to hear the news, the first person to get off the boat was a veteran, about 50 to [-] years old, with gray hair and beard, but the whole person still moved like the wind, and he did not look old at all.

This person has a serious and majestic face, and he seems to be serious and powerful.

The soldiers who disembarked with him had a clean appearance, and it seemed that they also had strict military discipline, which was completely different from the soldiers under their own command.

"Meng Da, the last general, welcome to the general." Meng Da hurried forward a few steps, cupped his hands and gave a deep salute, and then asked with a smile, "Please forgive me for being blind, I wonder which general under the King of Wei came here?"

The veteran who disembarked returned the salute with clasped fists, although he was not enthusiastic, he did not reject people thousands of miles away: "I am Xu Huang, the general of the Pingkou, and I have led four thousand troops here, and I want to recover the land of the three counties."

"Ah, it turned out that General Gongming was in person, disrespectful and disrespectful. Although the last general is in a closed place, he has heard of the general's name for a long time, and seeing him today is really..."

Meng Da has a good literary talent, and there are many flattery words waiting to be spit out in his stomach that are guaranteed not to be nasty, but can make people feel happy physically and mentally, but Xu Huang suddenly raised his hand.

"It's important business, let's not talk about it, after the three counties are recovered, it won't be too late to have a drink with the general."

"Uh... what the general said is true." Meng Da suddenly felt short of breath as the words were blocked in his stomach.

Xu Huang led the army and asked as he walked, "How is the current situation in the three counties?"

Meng Da took Liu Feng first, and briefly told about the escape of the Shen family brothers to Xicheng, and didn't even hide the fact that the secret letter was intercepted.

"It seems that Liu Feng is not a simple-minded reckless man." Xu Huang heard the words.

He was able to see through the betrayal of the Shen family and Meng Da in advance, occupied Shangyong first, and almost blocked the Shen family brothers inside, and even intercepted their secret letters.

It seems that Liu Bei, a hypocrite, cannot be taken lightly.

"Don't worry, general, Shangyong is caught between me and Shen's family. This person has been trapped in an isolated city, so he must not stay for long. It's just that our army is not very strong..."

Xu Huang knew what he meant, he must think that the 4000 people he brought were too few.

"Soldiers are more expensive than elites, and the soldiers under a certain command are trained very strictly, how can they be compared with ordinary soldiers."

"Yes, yes!" Meng Da didn't have any temper when facing Xu Huang's words. His soldiers did seem to be much stronger than his own, and he was already giving face by not saying that his soldiers were a mob.

"What's more, there is still General Xiahou Boren leading the main force. He came from the north of Shangyong, and he probably arrived one step ahead of me. I will wait to meet him immediately."

Meng Da was overjoyed when he heard the words: "This is very good! General, let's lead the army to rest in Fangling. The last general will kill cattle and goats to comfort the general's army. After three days..."

"No need." Xu Huang once again interrupted Meng Da with a wave of his hand, "When will General Fangling's soldiers be dispatched?"

"Uh... the last general has been preparing for many days and can be dispatched at any time."

Xu Huang nodded: "Since that's the case, I will lead the army to rest for an hour, and then send troops immediately! We will meet with General Xiahou immediately, in case there is any change."

Meng Da: "..."

He sneaked a glance at the soldiers under Xu Huang's command, but seeing that there was no resentment on the faces of the people, he couldn't help but secretly praised again in his heart.

There was a saying in Xu Huang's army: "No pay, belongs to Xu Huang."

This is not to say that he has embezzled military pay. Here pay means food. It means that he governs the army very strictly. In order not to miss the military plane, he often keeps his soldiers too busy to have time to eat.

Xu Huang was not annoyed when he heard about it, and laughed and scolded: "Did I ruin your jobs?"

The implication is that it is necessary for war, and it is better to delay a meal or two than to lose the battle and die.

Moreover, his life is simple, his food and salary are always paid in full, and he does not do anything special.

Therefore, although running the army can be called strict, the soldiers under him are at most joking and complaining, how should they work their lives or how should they work their lives.

"Why, one hour is not enough for the general to send troops?" Seeing that Meng Da was silent, Xu Huang stopped and turned to look at him.

Meng Da immediately felt a suffocating sense of oppression, and hurriedly said: "Enough, of course enough! It's only an hour, and the troops will be sent after an hour!"

……

An hour later, Meng Daxin's confidant Deng Fu led 500 troops to defend the city, mobilized the rest of the soldiers, and accompanied Xu Huang's 4000 troops to Shangyong.

From Fangling to Shangyong, Xu Huang chose to travel by land.

The Mian River cannot go directly to these two places. Shangyong City and Fangling City are located on the tributaries of the Mian River, but these two tributaries do not communicate.

To travel by water, you have to go out of the three counties first, and then come back from Mianshui. The time to go around this big circle is not much different from that by land.

The soldiers in the Northland were not used to taking a boat, so Xu Huang was afraid that his soldiers would vomit before the battle started...

The only disadvantage of taking the land route is the terrain here, many of which are dangerous places with a valley between two mountains.

So although Xu Huang sent troops in a hurry, he did not blindly pursue speed when marching.

Along the way, scouts were spread out to explore the way ahead, and they were always on the lookout for ambushes on the hills.

Sometimes even if the situation seems to be going well, he can't be careless. What happened to Yu Jin is the lesson before his eyes.

After marching for two days, the army finally approached the east bank of Dushui, and after passing through Dushui, Shangyong City was located.

"Report--! General, I saw a large group of troops marching ahead. Judging from the banner, it must be General Xiahou's troops."

When scouts flew to report, Xu Huang immediately ordered to suspend the march.

"General Xiahou's soldiers and horses? Is there a mistake?"

"It is true that General Xiahou's banner is correct."

No, Boren wanted to attack Shangyong, so he landed on the west bank of the blocked water, why did he come to the east bank?And still marching east?

Xu Huang had an ominous premonition, and immediately ordered the messengers to contact Xia Houshang's troops.

Then the two armies converged, and Xu Huang finally saw Xia Houshang.

Seeing that he was dusty, and there was still blood and mud on his armor that would not be cleaned in the future, the ominous premonition became stronger.

"General Boren, why have you marched so far?"

Xiahou didn't answer yet, but stared at Meng Da next to him, and asked calmly, "General Gongming, who is this?"

Meng Da hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Meng Da, the last general, please refer to the general. Da has exhausted his troops in Fangling, and is willing to help the general recover the three counties."

Xia Houshang had doubts in his heart, rolled his eyes, and decided to cheat him.

Immediately, he became furious, and pointed at Meng Da like a sword: "What a treacherous person, how dare you cheat me with the Shen family?!"

"what?!"

Meng Da turned pale with fright, the half-soaked piss in his urinal was almost too frightened to hold back...

Fortunately, he is still young, and his sphincter is not weak. The two armies have not yet fought, and the sphincter made a small contribution first, which finally saved General Meng's face.
