Chapter 554: Determined to Destroy the Enemy
"I didn't expect to fight side by side with the Gongming brothers again, and it would be in Chang'an, the imperial capital!" Zhang Yan on the horse shook his whip fiercely, and turned his head sideways to Xu Huang, who was also galloping next to him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Yes, I can't think of it either, but I still don't understand, why do we have to come back?" Xu Huang turned his head sideways to Xu Shu, who was bumping and rolling his eyes next to him, "After all, the lord is not here, and the Son of Heaven is not here!"
"The lord is going to do something very important!" Xu Shu, who was not good at riding, took a long time to squeeze out such a sentence, and said to Yang Biao, who leaned over and hugged the neck of the war horse next to him, "This is the best time to prove to the world the loyalty and strong strength of the Black Mountain Army to the Han family!"
"And more importantly, the status of the minister is not to be underestimated, as well as the classics of the palace, royal goods, without these, even if we have the Son of Heaven in hand, we will be regarded by the world as a rebellious minister and thief who holds the Son of Heaven hostage!"
"I see!" Xu Huang and Zhang Yan said together, the horsewhip suddenly swung harder, the two horses were in pain, spread their hooves and rushed forward, if they could speak, they would definitely scold their master for life rather than death, right?
Yes, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Gao Yi did think so, and did so, and when it became a political strategy, it was also an unshirkable responsibility.
But whether it is Zhang Yan, Xu Huang, or Xu Shu and Yang Biao, they don't have a chance to think so much, in their hearts, Gao Yi is a god-like existence.
At this time, Gao Yi had already led the army day and night to Xiling County, Huang Zu's old nest, and according to the situation reported by Tanma, Chen Zhi had also captured Anlu from the west, and Yuan Shu had captured Yixian County from the southeast.
In order to prevent Gao Yi from being unable to support alone, Sun Jian's old generals still recommended Cheng Pu to bring a thousand men and horses to respond, Gao Yi in order to prevent Huang Zu from attacking his camp at night, so that the thousand men and horses were ambushed in a hidden place, and Cheng Pu only took a dozen personal soldiers to Gao Yi's big tent, and Liu Ye planned a plan to attack Xiling for Gao Yi.
"This attack on Jiangxia can be said to be a breakthrough all the way, the counties have almost no resistance to be included in our hands, and now in the land of Jiangbei, only this Xiling City is left, taking him is equivalent to holding Jiangxia in your hands!"
Cheng Pu took off his helmet, held it in his hand, and analyzed the current situation for Gao Yi, the whole person looked very energetic, and there was hardly any sadness on his face.
Almost almost, Gao Yi still noticed that Cheng Pu's two hands were clenched tightly, and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, which could almost prick blood.
However, Gao Yi's eyes quickly moved away from the map, he coughed, walked to the weapon rack, took off his moon lance, rubbed the lines on it, and said hatefully: "It's a pity that Wentai's whereabouts are still unknown, how good it would be if I could fight side by side with him, without him, let alone the entire Jiangxia County, even if I get the world, what's the joy?"
Liu Ye shook his head and sighed: "Why is the lord still sad, don't forget what General Sun Jian said that it is best to stab General Huang Gai, what he said, Huang Zu was only used, there should be some conspiracy behind it, only by finding out this person can we really avenge General Sun Jian, and also avenge Old Lady Gao!"
When he thought of his father's inexplicable death, he couldn't help but feel sad and angry, and couldn't help but scold with a gun: "I always thought that I could protect my family and friends, but I could only watch them leave me one by one, God, how unfair you are!"
Yes, as a modern person, he should have been in a good position and had a smooth ride, but Gao Yi was not, he had repeatedly suffered setbacks and been repeatedly victimized by conspiracy, could it be that if he wanted to be a good person and do one thing well, was it so difficult? Liu Ye and Cheng Pu didn't speak, they were stunned and watched Gao Yi hurt himself there, they didn't want to persuade anything, they knew that if a person had been suppressed for a long time, he would have to explode.
Just let him explode quietly!
"Kacha!" A thunderclap exploded over the barracks, and the bright lightning was like a sharp sword, tearing the entire sky. It's raining, and it's getting heavier and heavier, Jiangxia is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and this season is the time when it rains the most, Gao Yi remembers that this rainy season tends to last a long time.
Gao Yi also remembered that in history, Guan Yu flooded Fan Chou, and the time was almost exactly this time period. Gao Yi turned around suddenly, stared at the sand table in front of him, and shouted in a deep voice to the soldiers: "Fetch water!"
The soldier was stunned, and although he was a little overwhelmed, he immediately ran out to get water.
"Ziyang, is there any difference between this terrain and this sand table?"
Gao Yi stared at the distance between Xiling City and his military camp on the sand table, as well as the direction of the nearby river, and asked in a quick tone. Liu Ye replied with a bow: "Back to the lord, my subordinates have surveyed the terrain of this generation a few years ago, and they can confidently answer the lord, it is no different from this sand table!"
"That's good!" Gao Yi's face showed a hint of joy, and at this time, the soldier happened to come back from the outside filled with water with a water bag, Gao Yi took it, and poured it directly into the sand table!
Suddenly, everything in the sand table was washed away by the water, and Cheng Pu couldn't help but be a little surprised: "What does this mean, my lord? Although this thing is not priceless, it is also made with a lot of effort, isn't it a pity to destroy it directly?"
"It's not a pity, it's not a pity at all!" Gao Yi looked at the generals in the tent in a deep voice and said: "Could it be that when the two armies are really facing each other, can we still use this thing to make a temporary battle plan? No, the real map, if it is always in our minds and hearts!"
Cheng Pu suddenly realized, clenched his fists and said: "What the lord said is extremely true, I can't think about it!"
Gao Yi immediately helped General Cheng Pu up: "Demou, please get up, you are more than 20 years older than me, you are my elder, what am I doing inappropriately, although Demou said it bluntly, I have always regarded Wentai as a big brother, and naturally I should also regard Demou as a big brother!"
Cheng Pu listened, and his heart was moved, and he immediately leaned over and bowed again: "The lord is serious!"
At this time, Liu Ye stared at the sand table that was damaged by Gao Yi and was stunned, and only after a long time did he wake up and laugh: "The lord must have a reason for doing things, and his subordinates might as well guess, is the lord going to flood Huang Zu?"
Gao Yi laughed loudly: "It's really worthy of Liu Ziyang, but it's a pity, there is no capable person like you in the Huang Zu Army!"
The rest of the generals were a little confused, all of them stood in place and were stunned, Liu Ye explained: "The generals don't have to hesitate, there is a lake thirty miles west of Xiling, south of the Yangtze River, which is used for irrigation on weekdays, as soon as the rainy season arrives, it will skyrocket, and it is necessary to send troops to discharge the flood, but at this time, Huangzu was besieged by us in Xiling City, and it was impossible to send troops to do this, so if we sent an army to go forward, change the direction of the river embankment, lead to Xiling City, and after a few days, dig the lake embankment, and then capture Huang Zu!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but make friends in unison, and even though Liu Yedang assigned Li Tong to take 500 people from his headquarters, Li Tong promised to go.
Li Tong's movements have long been discovered by Huang Zu's meticulous work, and he immediately came to report to Huang Zu, Huang Zu was eating, so frightened that his chopsticks fell to the ground, and he had no intention of eating again, so he ordered his entourage to withdraw, and personally went to the city to watch, and sure enough, he saw that in the rain, a group of hundreds of soldiers braved the rain to go to the west.
Huang Zu licked his lips, and immediately ordered someone to find Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, and sighed as soon as they met: "Tanma just came to report that Gao Yi's camp sent a team of men and horses, I suspect that he wants to break the lake embankment in the west and take the opportunity to flood the city, the two generals, please immediately send some soldiers and horses to stop Gao Yi's conspiracy!"
Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng glanced at each other and said meaningfully: "I said Huang Taishou, do you have a bad memory? Our two brothers agreed to come to you to help you defend the city, and we have already done our best to defend the city, we have killed and injured so many brothers, and how can we appease us with a headache? Besides, isn't your Xiling City known as a strong city? How could a small flood be flooded? Could it be that Huang Taishou cut corners when he built the city, but he couldn't make it possible to strip his money?"
Huang Zu was angry and anxious, how could he not know that these two guys were taking advantage of the fire to rob, but the matter was urgent, and he had no choice: "Don't go around the bend with me, Mingren doesn't say dark words, let's say, what do you want to ask for this time?"
The two thieves shook their heads with a smile, and it took a long time to say their conditions: "We will take half of the things in Xiling's treasury, and we will take away one-third of Jiangxia's taxes in the future!"
"You-" Huang Zu trembled a little angrily, although he was mentally prepared to be opened by these two guys, but this condition was still greatly unexpected by Huang Zu, if he really agreed to this harsh request, then even if he could keep the position of Taishou in the future, then it would be a decoration.
But if he doesn't agree, he may immediately become Gao Yi's prisoner, and then die a miserable death.
The whirring cold wind was blowing, and Huang Zu couldn't help but shiver, and he rushed to his bones and soul to be cold.
"What's the matter, Huang Taishou, this condition is already the minimum that our brother can give!" Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng made a distressed look, but this appearance made Huang Zu look extremely disgusted.
In the end, Huang Zu nodded: "Okay, I can agree to your conditions, as long as you can repel Gao Yi, you can say anything!"
"Okay, I'll just say, Huang Taishou is a sensible person, since he opened Chrysostom, then he is in trouble, and our brother naturally wants to help!"
Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng patted their chests and swore an oath, but they didn't know that Huang Zu had another set of calculations in his heart.
