Chapter Ninety-Four: Sneak Attack on Tianzhu Mountain
"Your Majesty, it is General Lu Mian" Zhang Xun said excitedly, "Your Majesty ordered me to subdue the surrounding counties, but I happened to meet General Lu Mian who was seriously injured and returned, and Zhang Xun seemed to be seriously injured."
Zhang Xun was overjoyed when he saw Lu Mian, but he knew that Lu Mian needed recuperation and treatment, so without saying a word, he helped Lu Mian find a doctor, and immediately rushed back to Jiangting to inform Yuan Yao.
"Where is General Lu Mian now" Yuan Yao saw that Lu Mian was not outside at all, and hurriedly asked.
"Well, General Lu is now in that small county town, and I have already found a doctor for treatment." Zhang Xun realized that he forgot to talk about Lu Mian's condition.
"General Lu Mian is injured" Yuan Yao was shocked, "The injury is not serious, how did you go during this period of time?"
"Now General Lu Mian is still in a coma, I am in a hurry to come back to inform Your Majesty of the news, and I didn't ask. By the way, Your Majesty, I brought the person who saved General Lu Mian, maybe he knows something. Zhang Xun hurriedly said, I have to say that Zhang Xun is really frizzy at the moment, and even a little flustered.
This is also normal, after all, Zhang Xun, one of the four major generals of Yangzhou under Yuan Shu, has the best relationship with Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, and Lu Mian, and is also an absolute supporter of Yuan Shu.
And now, Ji Ling and Qiao Rui have been killed in the previous battle, when Yuan Shu raised the Seventh Army against Cao Cao, Han Xian and Yang Feng were rebelled against and set fire to the camp to make the Yuan army chaotic, that is, at that time, Ji Ling was killed by Zhang Fei in the battle with Zhang Fei, and Qiao Rui, as Yuan Shu's general, was also killed by Xiahou Tang when Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu.
There are only two of the four generals left, and Zhang Xun can't help but be excited, and Zhang Xun also thought that Lu Mian had also died in battle, and now he saw Lu Mian who was still alive, although he was injured, he was still very excited.
This is the sympathy.
"That's still stunned, call in." Huang Yi said to a guard next to him, asking him to summon the person who rescued Lu Mian in. "Don't you see that Your Majesty wants to discuss something?"
"How did you save people?"
Yuan Yao saw a person who looked like a hunter coming in and asked, the person who came looked like a tiger's back, even if he saw Yuan Yao, he didn't have the slightest fear.
"The last time I went hunting in the mountains, I met a fierce tiger, after slaughtering the tiger, when I went to the market to sell tiger skins, I saw that many people were chasing and killing the general who was sent back, and this surnamed Lu had a lot of injuries on his body, I originally asked him to heal his injuries before leaving, but he didn't want to, so I sent him back."
The man spoke rudely, but without the slightest twist.
In the continuous negotiation with this hunter, Yuan Yao learned what happened to Lu Mian.
It turned out that this Lu Mian and Zhang Xunqiao Rui and others were fighting against Cao's army, and Yuan Shu sent Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui and Lu Mian to garrison in Qiyang City to use this to resist Cao Cao's soldiers and horses. However, Cao Cao had many generals, and Xiahoudun led Cao's army to capture the city, and killed Qiao Rui, among which Lu Mian was defeated and hit by an arrow. After that, Cao Cao, Xiahoudun and other generals attacked Zhang Xun in Xiapi City together with Liu Bei and others, and defeated Zhang Xun and left, so Zhang Xun also retreated.
Besides, Lu Mian was hit by an arrow in his body, and he was almost about to die, Lu Mian's personal soldiers knew that Cao Jun and Liu Bei were going south, and Lu Mian was only recuperating from his injuries even if he went back in such a state, so he took the unconscious Lu Mian to the north.
At that time, the area of Yuan Shu was much larger than now, and he had reached Henan to the north, and now Yuan Yao had no choice but to retreat to Huainan. Lu Mian was taken to the city north of Xuzhou to hide by his own soldiers, and called the doctor to know, and finally Lu Mian really came back to life in his dying illness, but was later discovered by Liu Bei in Xuzhou and sent someone to chase him down.
And this Orion, it was at this time that he met Lu Mian, Lu Mian was seriously injured and did not recover, he was chased and killed, his own soldiers were killed, and his injuries were even more serious, and he was in a coma for a while.
Orion took him to his home and rescued Lu Mian, but Lu Mian insisted on going to Shouchun before he recovered. On the way back to Jiangting, even Orion was almost intercepted by a small team sent by Xuzhou.
Fortunately, this Orion's martial arts were still alive and could escape on horseback, but Lu Mian was severely unconscious due to the severity of his injuries, which caused his wounds to fester.
After thousands of miles on the road, Lu Mian's injuries became more and more serious, and basically he had to find a doctor to apply some medicine to a place temporarily, because he knew that Yuan Shu was dead, Lu Mian was even more anxious, so he insisted on going to Jiangting.
"Your Majesty, General Lu Mian and he" Zhang Xun were a little touched, Lu Mian was defeated but still intended to return to Shouchun, but he didn't know that the first emperor was dead, I am afraid that the severity of Lu Mian's injuries was also because of Yuan Shu's death, there are reasons for grief and guilt.
"Alas" Yuan Yao let out a long sigh, although his cheap father is not very good, but he still left some dead friends, and Han Xian and Yang Feng were rebelled under Yuan Shu's hands, Chen Lanlei rebelled, Liu Xun was self-reliant, Lu Fan Zhouyu and other generals were poached by Sun Ce, in fact, in addition to the previous Han Fu, this Yuan Shu can also be called a second-class prince, after all, this kind of means of knowing people is also rare in the world.
But even so, Lu Mian still treats the Yuan family and the lord sincerely, and Yuan Yao said that it was false if he was not moved.
"Okay, I don't know the name of the strong man" Yuan Yao looked at this Orion and wanted to take him under his command, and asked.
"My name is Borlon," Orion laughed.
"I don't know if Brother Bao is willing to be a general under my account" Yuan Yao thought that he would receive any great talent, but he found that he didn't know this name at all, and he suddenly didn't have much interest, just said hello.
Yuan Yao didn't know that this Bao Long was a captain of the Guiyang Military Academy, who had shot and killed two tigers, and was brave and brave, and was killed by Zhao Yun in history, although he was not a famous general, but as a captain, he was still competent.
Although Bao Long is not powerful, he is arrogant and arrogant, and he feels that Yuan Yao does not attach too much importance to him, so he smiled and refused bluntly, making Yuan Yao a big face, which is extremely embarrassing.
"Okay, then please ask the strong man to rest first" Yuan Yin's face was cold, and he endured the embarrassment.
After Bao Long went down, he watched Yuan Yao take a deflated face, and Huang Yi's face next to him turned into a chrysanthemum because of the smile.
Yuan Yao kicked Huang Yi angrily and scolded.
"Roll"
Tianzhu Mountain, Xiahoudun convened Xu Huang, Li Dian and others to discuss the matter, this attack on Tianzhu Mountain Cao Cao did not send a top adviser to Xiahoudun at all, only gave a full favor, after all, in Cao Cao's eyes, playing such a small place, it is not worth sending his top strategists to come, and Xiahoudun is brave and strategic, Cao Cao is very relieved.
"Let's talk about it, what do you think of Tianzhu Mountain" Cao Jun had been trapped under Tianzhu Mountain for five or six days, so Xiahoudun asked directly.
After Xiahoudun finished speaking, the following eyes all looked at Man Chong, no way, who let Lao Cao send such a great god, it is not Cao Cao who slammed the door, the main thing is that Cao Cao's Xu Du is more nervous now, and all the strategists must give advice to Cao Cao to win the upcoming battle for the hegemony of the northern overlord.
Therefore, Cao Cao's top advisers were all left behind by Cao Cao, and brainstorming is the most important thing.
Man Zhong looked at everyone's burning eyes, and he was also slightly embarrassed. In recent days, the thieves of Tianzhu Mountain have simply ignored the Cao army under the mountain, they Tianzhu Mountain has food and water, and they live a nourishing and comfortable life, but it will take time for the two sides to spend time, the Cao army is 30,000 horses, Chen Lan does not believe that Xiahou can guard under the mountain until Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Berning, tell me what you think." Xiahoudun looked at everyone's appearance, smiled, and said to Manzhong.
"Yes, Berning, now you can have a plan for yourself." Li Dian also interjected beside him.
"This" Manzhong said with some embarrassment, "Actually, now is the best time to defeat Tianzhu Mountain, if we can send a sneak attack on the granary of Tianzhu Mountain, Tianzhu Mountain will collapse without a fight, after my investigation in the past few days, Chen Lan is very cautious, and trapped their grain storage land in the south of Tianzhu Mountain, but this place can only be attacked and sneaked in, and after the South Mountain is the cliff, it is difficult to climb at all." ”
Man Zhong sighed, shook his head and said, "It should be the best strategy to sneak attack the grain and grass when the enemy is the most relaxed, but we can't do it. ”
The crowd was very depressed. They naturally understood that the grain and grass that Chen Lan had stolen from Shouchun on this Tianzhu Mountain was enough for them to eat for a long time, and the difficulty of this strategy meant that Cao Jun would have to eat more grain and grass and lose more soldiers and horses.
But Xiahoudun smiled slightly, and then asked.
"What is the meaning of Berning, what is the middle strategy and the next policy"
Man Zhong smiled faintly, "Where is there any middle and lower strategy, except for this only best policy, there is only time and human life left to fill in." It's just that the methods are different, maybe you can send people to directly attack Tianzhu Mountain, or even if the whole army directly attacks the mountain, the casualties will not be small. Now that the autumn is tidal, Chen Lan has cut down the surrounding trees again, even if we directly damage the Dejiao Mountain, it will not cause the slightest damage to Tianzhu Mountain."
"I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, it's not that I'm incompetent, I'm afraid that under Chen Lan's condescending and stubborn cottage situation, no one can break the gate of the village" Man Chong said categorically, "Even if it is separated from the inside, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve"
Xiahoudun interrupted Manzhong's words and said with a smile. "Berning, if you can climb Tianzhu Mountain, the odds are geometric"
"Where can you make this kind of joke?" Man Zhong was stunned and said, "If there is really a road up the mountain, our army will win."
This is Xiahoudun who suddenly stood up and said, "Berning, I'm not joking. Then Xiahoudun said a few words to the little school next to him, and the little school hurriedly walked out, and after a while brought an old man over.
"Old man, tell me what you know."
This old man is a woodcutter, just in the village next to Tianzhu Mountain, Chen Lanlei is used to being arrogant and domineering in Tianzhu Mountain, but the harassment does not harass the village under the mountain, every time he goes to rob the county seat in other places, so this old man is not afraid of the thieves in Tianzhu Mountain.
On the second day of his return, Xiahoudun went to the surroundings of Tianzhu Mountain and walked around, and when he saw the steep terrain of Tianzhu Mountain, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, "This Tianzhu Mountain, it is really difficult to climb to the sky, it seems that except for the road in front of the mountain gate, there is no way up the mountain" Since the ancient Huashan Road, although Xiahoudun sighed secretly, his emotions were not too irritable.
Unexpectedly, Xiahou Dun's words happened to be heard by this woodcutter, and the woodcutter interjected: "What kind of road, this Tianzhu Mountain can also go up the mountain if there is a back mountain."
"What" Xiahoudun was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, but he couldn't say clearly for a while, so Xiahoudun asked the old man for the consent of the old man and asked him to come to the barracks for a while.
"The reason why this Tianzhu Mountain is called a pillar is because Tianzhu Mountain is too high, and it is too steep, but in addition to the road at the mountain gate, there is really a road on the back mountain, I was cutting wood here when I was young, and I went on it once before, and I fell down. However, although the place can be accessed, it is very dangerous and you need to climb very high. ”
The old man was afraid that these military masters would not be satisfied, and he still seemed to be a little afraid, and he didn't speak very neatly.
"Old man, you don't have to be afraid, you said you fell down, so how do you know where you can go up" Li Dian cut out the old man's embarrassment and comforted.
"That's right, I haven't been up, but a hunter in our village has been there, so that place can definitely go up" The old man was visibly more determined.
"Old man, wait a while, you can accompany us to see how it is, rest assured, the reward should definitely not be less, and as long as you read it, we will send you home"
Xiahoudun had a one-eyed head, and he had to behave very close to the people, which made the old man frightened, and hurriedly said.
"Yes, of course."
"Then the old man will go down first, and we will go to you later." Xiahoudun let the old man go down.
"How is it" Xiahoudun asked as he looked at Man Pet, completely ignoring everyone's stunned looks.
"Sneak attack on Tianzhu Mountain, tonight" said in a trembling voice, and his joy was self-evident
