Chapter 373: You people in the city really know how to play
The wild wind was cold, the rain was dripping, and a rider braved the rain curtain and galloped over the field, holding a simple and unpretentious eight-foot halberd in his hand, indicating its owner's identity.
The rain had already soaked his clothes, but at this moment, his mind was full of the moving image that had written his face full of reluctance:
"Brother Kun, where are you going, Ning'er can't bear you!"
"Good, be good here, I have some things to do in the Fa*, and I will come back to accompany you when it is resolved!"
"Ning'er doesn't, Ning'er only needs Brother Kun by her side!"
"Don't be like this, Ning'er, I don't want to leave either, but I got the news that someone will be unfavorable to that person, although I hate him for making you amnesiac, but I don't want him to die, I only hate me for making an irreparable mistake at that time, and now I can't regret it, I promise you, I will come back soon!"
"Brother Kun, you don't understand what you said Ning'er, Ning'er is afraid!"
"Don't be afraid, these people I left behind are all old subordinates who followed you and me at the beginning, and their skills are also excellent, if you are bored, plant a sapling outside the village every day, and when you plant a hundred, Brother Kun will come back!"
"Brother Kun, Ning'er is waiting for you!"
Memories flooded Chen Zhi's mind like a tide, and he thought that after changing his name to Chen Zhi, he could forget all the unhappiness in the past, and lived peacefully with Zhang Ning, who was like a three-year-old child, who had amnesia.
However, the man named Su Mu still found Chen Zhi and wanted to invite Chen Zhi to go out of the mountain to serve Cao Cao.
"Your Excellency is full of talent, are you willing to be so empty of the old mountains and forests? Eighteen years old is the best age in life!"
"Hehe, I have made up my mind, if Mr. insists on being embarrassed, then he will only take away my corpse!"
"Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, and the old man doesn't force you, but Your Excellency won't ignore Gu Gaoyi's life, right?"
“…… What are you doing in front of me, sir?"
"Hehe, you still care about him very much, you just don't admit it, but it doesn't matter, the old man knows that you brought Zhang Jiao's daughter to Runan, and he is still asking the divine doctor in many ways to cure her amnesia!"
"The old gentleman is quite powerful, Chen Zhi admires it, could it be that the old gentleman has a way to cure Ning'er's illness?"
"Yes, give the old man three months, and she will definitely be cured, and the price is that Your Excellency must personally go to Jinyang, meet Zhang Yan, and ask him to send troops to Hedong to contain Dong Zhuo's forces!"
"Why me?"
"You once defected to Zhang Yan, and he gave you the name Zhang Baiqi, the old man is not wrong, right? Although you may still have some misunderstandings, the old man believes that Your Excellency must have a way to persuade Zhang Yan to do this!"
"What if I don't say yes?"
"Your Excellency will not disagree, unless you don't want Miss Zhang's amnesia to be cured, unless you are willing to watch Gao Yi fight against Dong Zhuo alone and be defeated like Ding Yuan!"
The horses' hooves kicked up the puddles of water in the road, splashing mud everywhere, but it was soon washed away by the raindrops.
"Phew!"
Chen Zhi came back to his senses, slammed the reins, and the mount stopped firmly next to a stone pavilion, Chen Zhi looked sideways at the white-robed Su Mu inside, obviously having been waiting for a long time.
"What's the matter, the old man is right, right? If Your Excellency doesn't come today, Gao Yi will definitely die!" Su Mu raised his head, and there was an incomprehensible expression under the mask as white as a ghost.
"How could that Hua Xiong be so powerful? I'm afraid that he and I will be evenly matched in fifty rounds!" Chen Zhi didn't mean to get off the horse, he took off his covered face towel, his delicate and handsome face was revealed, he turned his head to look at the misty rain and fog in the distance, and asked coldly.
"This has to ask Hu Tu, the old ghost, he must have done something to Hua Xiong and Jian Shuo, but at present, I don't know, there is not much time left for us, you have to move quickly, the old man also has to meet a few important people, if they are together, there is still a chance of winning against Dong Zhuo!" Su Mu stood up, the wind blew his white robe, like an immortal.
"Where did the great sage and good teacher go, sir, and why didn't I find any trace of him in the place where he lived in seclusion in Songshan?" Chen Zhi will not forget that when he and Zhang Ning, Zhou Cang, Guan Hai carried Zhang Jiao's sick body to despair, it was this Su Mu who appeared to take them in, and placed Zhang Jiao in a secret place in Songshan.
Su Mu smiled: "Hehe, I can't imagine that there are still people who call him a great sage and good teacher, he left Songshan a month ago, and the Central Plains will not be peaceful soon, I asked Ye Di to escort him to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, rest assured that he is living well now, and he also said that he doesn't want to live a clean life anymore!
"Remember your promise!" Chen Zhi smiled wryly, and his legs slammed into the horse's belly, and he galloped away like an arrow from a string, rushing headlong into the rain curtain in the distance.
"Hehe, there are really a lot of things to do!" Su Mu took off his mask at this time, looked at Chen Dao who was far away, sighed faintly, jumped up, and disappeared into the dense forest beside him.
Outside the city of Xingyang, Sun Jian and the Tiger Battalion have fought several battles with Fan Chou, Fan Chou fought and retreated into the city, and ordered the city gate to be closed, and Sun Jian only brought a thousand men and horses, so naturally he did not dare to attack the city rashly.
However, Sun Jian had no intention of retreating, and when he came, he made a military order to Gao Yi, and if he could not obtain Fan Chou's head, he would be punished by military law*, so Sun Jian ordered Huang Gai and Zhu Zhi to settle down and set up a camp outside Xingyang City.
"Why are the weeds outside the city growing so high, they are almost burying people!"
Huang Gai squatted in the withered grass more than half a person tall and untied his hands, muttering non-stop, the newborn weeds only grew a short layer, and then they were all withered yellow colors, yellow and green, but they were also very good-looking, but Huang Gai's bare-bottomed excretion people made Sun Jian on the side a little depressed.
"Hehe, I thought there was something big about the public reply you were yelling at just now, it turned out to be a compliment, nothing to ask, I'm going back to the camp, and I'm going to study with Junli how to break through Xingyang City!"
Sun Jian said, turned around and was about to leave, Huang Gai immediately called out to him: "Wait a minute, the general has something important to say, but people have three urgency, and the last general has no choice!"
"Okay!" Sun Jian didn't say that he really wanted to leave, he found a clean stone, sat on the gas, pulled out the ancient ingot knife on his waist, gently wiped it on the stone, and said to himself, "Let you go to find out the information in the city, but you shit in front of me, and bring it back to say that you can't say that you are ugly, and you don't want your ass!"
Huang Gai heard Sun Jian's words, and couldn't help but tremble, how did Sun Jian speak more and more like Gao Yi, they all like to play tricks on people, but he was sure that the information he got about Xingyang City was really beneficial to his own army, so he wiped his buttocks, strode towards Sun Jian, and said with a smile:
As early as a few months ago, the people in the city were afraid that the war would affect them, so they dragged their families to take refuge in the Songshan area, there was not a grain of grain in the city, and Fan Chou did not bring any grain and grass into the city, according to the end of the future, no more than three days, no need for us to fight, Fan Choujun himself will mutiny!"
"Well, it's really good news, it seems that you are still reluctant to leave you!" Sun Jian said this, but he stood up suddenly, and actually took the ancient ingot knife and really gestured on Huang Gai's buttocks, sighed faintly, and went back to the camp with a laugh.
"Whew!" Huang Gai patted his forehead, pointed at Sun Jian's back and muttered, "You city people really know how to play!"
Sun Jian's camp was planted in this wild grassland, Fan Chou on the Xingyang city wall saw the people and horses in the camp swaggering back and forth eating meat and drinking wine, and unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he had not tasted meat for several days, which was even more uncomfortable for him than death.
He was very grateful to Guan Yu for pointing out a clear way for him to come to Xingyang and station, without being at anyone's mercy, but who would have thought that this Xingyang City would dig three feet into the ground and not have a single grain or a living creature that could fill his stomach?
"General, the soldiers haven't eaten for three days, this Xingyang is an empty city, not even a mouse can be found, and the road outside the city is blocked by Sun Jian, what should I do?"
The deputy general next to Fan Chou had a vegetable blue face, his whole face was swollen, and he walked even more staggeringly, obviously hungry to the extreme, and it was already supported by perseverance if he didn't fall.
But the other soldiers were not so lucky.
"General, five more soldiers are starving!"
"General, the soldiers can't hold it anymore and have already begun to kill the horses!"
"General, didn't the lord let General Xu Rong be the commander of Xingyang, why hasn't he appeared until now?"
Fan Chou's ears were about to be overwhelmed by these sounds, and he thought hard about how to solve the dilemma in front of him.
Suddenly, Fan Chou pointed to Sun Jian's military camp in the withered grass and said in surprise: "Sun Wentai's death date has come, he actually set up camp according to the grass, it is really in vain after Sun Wu, he will actually make the same mistakes and low-level mistakes as the Yellow Turban thief, tonight we will attack the camp, break it with fire, and take his baggage to reward his own soldiers!"
When the generals and soldiers around him said this, they all woke up like a dream: "It's really a good plan, why can't I think of it? The general is really a god!"
Fan Chou waved his hand, and his mood improved: "Hurry up and prepare, this Sun Jian wanted to murder Dong Gong many times when he was crusading against Han Sui, and Dong Gong cut his teeth and hurt him, if I can cut off his head, it will be regarded as a great achievement, and it will be a good opportunity to be reused!"
"No!"
At the same time, Sun Jian looked at an uninvited middle-aged man in his camp and wondered, "Your Excellency said that Fan Chou will come to rob the camp tonight?"
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded: "Not only will they rob the camp, but they will also attack with fire!"
When Sun Jian heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, he glanced at Zhu Zhi beside him, but he didn't dare to believe it: "Who is Your Excellency, why do I, Sun Jian, believe Your Excellency!"
The middle-aged man smiled, looked at Sun Jian opposite, and asked loudly, "General Dian Wei must not have mentioned to General Sun a person named Cheng Pu he met in Liaoxi, right?"
"Cheng Pu?" Sun Jian and Zhu Zhi were slightly stunned.
"Cheng Pucheng Demou, a native of Youbeiping, has seen General Sun!" the middle-aged man said proudly, and then shouted in a voice outside the tent, "Xiao Han, come in!"
When the words fell, a burly young man entered from outside and bowed down in front of Sun Jian, but it was like a loud bell: "Han Dang, a member of the Lingzhi branch of Liaoxi, has seen General Sun!"
