Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 149

"What's going on?" Seeing that his own soldiers were fighting in full swing, Meng Huo suddenly felt dizzy.Just before the meeting, he saw a group of people rushing towards his camp, and the leader was E Huan.Seeing Meng Huo, E Huan led a team of men and immediately surrounded him and scuffled him.Meng Huo was unarmed, and these people didn't seem to want to hurt him for a while, so the two sides just started punching and kicking.Although Meng Huo was good at martial arts, how could he stand against such a large group of people?Before too many things, he was already in a hurry.

Not to mention that Meng Huo was in a hurry at this time, Zhao Feng, who was on the opposite side of the Yuanjiang River, suddenly saw the barbarian army's camp bursting with flames, and the sky was dark, but he was also a little surprised.Based on his understanding of these barbarians, he guessed that he would provoke him first tonight, and then he would reprimand E Huan on the battlefield when he had time in the future, so that he would have no face to fight with him, and it would be difficult to deal with Meng Huo when he went back. He will definitely turn against Meng Huo.And according to the experience in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Meng Huo's allies, like Yang Feng, have never been very good-natured. As long as they are given a little favor, it is common for these people to tie him up and ask for credit. .It's just that he didn't expect that Gao Ding and Meng Huo had a deep grievance, and it happened that Meng Huo was urging them to march again, so the effect of his counter-intrigue was unexpectedly good.

"General, the barbarians are fighting melee, shall we take this opportunity to fight decisively?" The fire on the opposite side was too obvious in the middle of the night, Chen Dao and others were also awakened one after another, and immediately came to ask for a fight. "Don't be busy. Now that the barbarian army is in civil war, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our army to get in, and the camp is on fire, so it's difficult to get close. Let's wait and see." Zhao Feng thought about it and didn't want to be too risky. .Chen Dao and the others felt that there was nothing wrong with it, but in order to prevent accidents, the sergeants should be prepared and on standby at any time.

"Yang Feng, Gao Ding, what do you mean?" After the sky brightened, Meng Huo found out that it was Yang Feng and Gao Ding who raided his camp overnight, and he had been knocked down by E Huan's men and tied up.

"Hmph, Meng Huo, don't blame me for being unkind! Brother Yang, tie him up and send him to General Zhao!" Gao Ding snorted coldly when he saw that Meng Huo was still struggling.Meng Huo was in a hurry, and he cursed while struggling: "You two bastards, do you know that our barbarian tribe is already in danger. Old Yan Yan led an army to attack our camp while we were away, and many brothers have already My sister died at his hands. You are still killing each other now, is it true that our Nanzhong Barbarian tribe is going to be extinct?"

"What?" Gao Ding and Yang Feng were taken aback when they heard the words, and hurriedly asked Meng Huo for clues.E Huan's sharp eyes saw a piece of animal skin stuffed into Meng Huo's cuff, and he quickly took it to see that it was Meng You's letter to his brother asking for help. Yang Gao and Yang Gao looked at each other after reading it.One must know that Yan Yan is not as easy-talking as Zhao Feng, if he is allowed to break through the lair, then everything will be over.

After a while, it was still Yang Feng who regained his strength and said: "Yan Yan is coming, I will return to the army. As for this Meng Huo, I will hand it over to General Zhao. Then send someone who can speak to General Zhao. , it’s best to convince him to allow me to move to Jingnan. In this way, even if you can’t gain a foothold in your hometown in the future, you can follow Samoke’s example and live in Jingnan.”

"Brother Yang is right, don't bother the two masters, let your subordinate Fei Nan go again!" Gao Ding couldn't come up with any good ideas for a while, and the two hurriedly tied up Meng Huo, and then sent Fei Nan led his men across the river to deliver him to Zhao Feng.On the other hand, he packed up his family and Meng Huo's remnant soldiers, but there were still 7 to [-] people, so he hurriedly made some adjustments and hurried back to Junnan Middle School overnight.

"So that's what happened." In the Jingzhou army camp, Zhao Feng couldn't explain the reason in detail, and suddenly realized.But it seems that Gao Ding and Yang Feng's life is not very easy at the moment, even if Meng Huo is not around, they will have to face the aggressive Yan Yan externally, and internally the criticism from Meng You and other Meng Huo's clansmen, they may be overwhelmed.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng looked at the Nanman King who was tied into a ball in front of him.In history, Zhuge Liang arrested him and released him time and time again, in order to make the various ministries in the South China Central Committee completely convinced and stop rebelling, so as to ensure that there would be no trouble in the rear during his Northern Expedition.However, his situation seems to be different now. The ministries of Nanzhong are already a little chaotic. If Meng Huo dies, it will be even more chaotic.However, Zhao Feng felt that it was better to be more chaotic. Only when these unruly ethnic minorities themselves became chaotic, dog-biting-dog-biting messed up their vitality, would they have a better chance to subdue them.Let me say something irresponsible again, no matter how chaotic Nanzhong is now, it is none of my business.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng also made up his mind, looked at Meng Huo and shouted: "Come on, come and kill me!" Meng Huo was shocked when he heard this, and looked up at Zhao Feng. The soldiers pushed out of the tent, only to hear a series of shouts and curses gradually faded away, and finally there was no more sound.After a while, Niu Jin came in with a wooden plate on which Meng Huo's head was placed.Zhao Feng ordered someone to paint it with lime to prevent corrosion, and sent someone to send it to Liu Bei at the front line, and ordered Fei Nan to go with him, and Liu Bei would decide the matter between Yang Gao and the two of them.

In this way, Meng Huo, the king of Nanman who had been powerful in Nanzhong for decades in history, just sent troops on impulse and met a Zhao Feng who didn't pay much attention to benevolence and morality.

Not to mention Fei Nan Pi Dian Pi Dian rushed to Qiao County to meet Liu Bei. At the same time, the Hulao was closed, and Cao Cao's Henan Yin Manchong sat on the ground with a dusty face, ignoring the dead bodies everywhere around him.Soldiers in twos and threes passed by him, clearing up corpses and debris.

This is already the tenth day since Yuan Tan attacked Hulao Pass. Since Yuan Tan sent troops to Sizhou a month ago, with the combination of Zhang Jai and Ju Shou, and Yuan Tan himself took the lead, the Hebei army has captured Hanoi County is now stepping up its attack on Henan County, and at the same time divides its troops to take Hadong and Hongnong counties.As long as Hulao Pass is broken and Luoyang is taken, the connection between Bingzhou and Cao Cao Yanzhou will be completely cut off.

Cao Cao's Sizhou originally only had 5 troops. Cao Hong went to attack Jingzhou a few days ago and took another 2 away. The remaining [-] people guarded the entire Sizhou. Gather people and stick to Hulao Pass.Even so, after more than ten days of fierce fighting, Man Chong, a literati-born Confucian general, was exhausted and unable to continue.The guards at Hulao Pass suffered heavy casualties and may fall at any time.

"My lord, water." A school captain on the side handed Man Chong a water bag, Man Chong took a few mouthfuls of water, let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Lieutenant Li, how many soldiers are there in the pass?"

"Just counted, and there are only more than 4000 people left." The man said the result with some hesitation.Man Chong twitched his face when he heard the words, Li Xiaowei was even more shocked when he saw this, and quickly asked: "My lord, can we still hold it? Will reinforcements come?"

"I will keep it. I have sent a letter to General Cao Hong. They should be here in a few days!" Although Man Chong had no idea, he still had to keep calm in front of the soldiers. Say no more.Looking boredly at the full moon in the sky, Man Chong suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked Captain Li, "What day is it today?"

"Today is July [-]th, there are not many days." Captain Li replied blankly.When Man Chong heard the words, he got up in a hurry, and then rode back to the government office. Li Xiaowei went in without knowing it, but he followed quickly.

Back in the government office, Man Chong hurriedly picked up a small wooden box with a seal on the table, and quickly pulled out a dagger to pry it open, only to find a silk book inside.Rao Shimanchong has always been calm, and the hand that picked up the silk book was a little trembling, and he prayed silently in his heart: My lord, please let me open it on July [-]th, I hope there is some clever plan in it that can save the tiger. The crisis of prison.

Unfolding the silk book, Man Chong's expression suddenly relaxed. "My lord, have reinforcements arrived?" Captain Li asked expectantly when he saw Man Chong's expression suddenly improved.

"That's right, that's right, it's not just reinforcements. Lieutenant Li, tell the brothers that we can have a holiday tomorrow!" Man Chong said excitedly and incoherently.At this time, in Yuan Tan's army camp, Yuan Tan was discussing with Guo Tu and Ju Shou about the siege of the city tomorrow.

"The guards at Hulao Pass are exhausted today, and the number has decreased significantly. In at most two days, this pass can be taken. Once Hulao Pass is taken, Sizhou will be my property." Jushou pointed to the map, quite a bit Excited authentic.

"It's so good!" Yuan Tan was also elated. He didn't expect that his first army dispatch was much smoother than his father's, and he was about to attack the next state in a blink of an eye.Although this was due to Cao Cao's lack of military strength on the two fronts, it was indeed not easy to win so smoothly.Yuan Tan was overwhelmed with excitement, and Guo Tu was also joking around, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

"My lord, General Juhu has something urgent to report." At this moment, the sentry outside the door suddenly came to report. Yuan Tan and others were shocked when they heard the words. Juhu was ordered to be stationed in Yecheng to supervise the grain and grass. He comes in and talks.

"My lord!" Juhu knelt down and wept bitterly as soon as he entered the account. "General Juhu, what is so sad?" Seeing Juhu's armor was messy and covered in blood, Yuan Tan suddenly had an ominous premonition and asked in a trembling voice.

"My lord, Yecheng is lost!" Juhu looked at Yuan Tan and his father, gritted his teeth and said these six words, followed by another burst of tears.

"What? Yecheng is lost?" Yuan Tan, Guo Tu and others looked at each other in blank dismay. "Yecheng has [-] defenders, how could it be lost? Cao Cao and Uncle Liu are facing each other on the front line, how could they be in Yecheng?" Guo Tu asked angrily.

Juhu heard the words and looked at the three of them, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "It's the third son. It was the third son who took advantage of Huiye City to extract food and grass, opened the city gate by fraud, and Cao Cao's army entered in one fell swoop. Our army hastily encountered the enemy and fought fiercely overnight. Finally Outnumbered, Yecheng fell!"

"What, third son?" Ju Shou was shocked when he heard the words, but at this moment, Guo Tu exclaimed, and when he looked back, he saw Yuan Tan vomited a mouthful of blood and fell down. Everyone hurriedly helped him to the side and lay down.After a while Yuan Tan woke up leisurely, looked at Guo Tu and Ju Shou, Yuan Tan gritted his teeth and said, "I want to return to the army immediately and take back Ye City."

"My lord, Cao Cao must have come prepared, and hastily returning to the army must be a plan! Right now Luoyang is close at hand, and Cao Cao's defenders are empty. It is better to capture Luoyang first, and then capture Yongzhou. In this way, we can connect with Uncle Liu Huang, and Cao Cao will definitely lose. Don't return to Henan and fight with us." Ju Shou remonstrated bitterly.

"Yecheng is my Yuan family's foundation, how can I ignore it? Yuan Xianfu, you unworthy descendant, I will kill you with my own hands to comfort my father's spirit in heaven!" Yuan Tan gritted his teeth and refused to listen to Ju's words. war.

In the eighth year of Jian'an, the autumn of 203 AD.Cao Cao launched a six-way army to attack Liu Bei, but secretly mobilized soldiers and Dongjun.Taking advantage of Yuan Shang's dissatisfaction with Yuan Tan, he ordered Xia Houyuan to lead his army from Qingzhou where he was stationed to march into Jizhou, and even went down to Leling, Qinghe, and Yangping counties to Yecheng.After Yuan Tan heard the news, he did not listen to Ju Shou's and Zhang Jai's words, and prepared an army of more than [-] to fight back against Xia Houyuan in order to regain Yecheng.
