Chapter 204 Joint Operations
Regarding Xiahou Lan's worries, he smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Xiahou, since the matter has come to this, we can only try our luck. I hope that with the blessing of God, we can successfully complete the mission entrusted to us by the Pavilion Marquis. ”
After dark, Fu Zhu and Xia Houlan took the team of fake patrols and successfully came to the east of the city. After the patrol team went to the front of the mansion to inspect it, they returned and reported to Fu Zhi: "Qi Qi supervises the army, there are only four soldiers and a military commander in front of the mansion gate. ”
After hearing this, he nodded and commanded, "Got it." Lead the way! The team leader agreed, and took Fu Zhu and Xia Houlan to the guard's mansion.
The military commander, who was standing outside the door, suddenly saw a group of patrolling soldiers, stopped outside the gate of the mansion, and immediately became alert. He asked his subordinates to prepare, and then greeted him, and asked in a stern tone, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" ”
Fu Zhu walked out of the crowd, bowed to the Wu Chief, and said, "Please go in and report to Cheng Lian and Wei Xu, the two cavalry governors, that there is an old man visiting." ”
"Old knowledge, what old knowledge?" Wu Chang listened to the frustration and was not clear, not only did he not immediately go in to report, but instead carefully looked the frustration up and down, and asked, "If you don't make it clear, I won't go in to report for you." ”
Seeing that he couldn't handle the Wu Commander who was guarding the door, Xia Houlan took a step forward and said to the Wu Chang in a vicious voice: "We have something important to discuss with Cheng Lian and Wei Xu, the two cavalry governors, if you miss a major matter, how many heads do you have?" ”
Maybe it was Xia Houlan's vicious appearance that frightened Wu Chang. After he shuddered, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Please wait here for this brother, and the little one will go in and report to the cavalry governor immediately." ”
Wu Chang ran into the living room inside, and reported to Cheng Lian and Wei Xuyu, who were sitting there talking: "Qiqi, two of the two Riding Governors, two of them came to the outside of the mansion with a patrol team, saying that they are old acquaintances of the adults, and they will discuss with you if they have important matters. ”
"Our old acquaintances?" After hearing Chief Wu's report, Cheng Lian and Wei Xu glanced at each other, and they both saw surprised expressions in each other's eyes. Cheng Lian turned his head and continued to ask Wu Chang: "Who is he?" ”
Wu Chang shook his head and replied, "They don't want to say, but one is dressed as a Wenchen, and the other is dressed as a captain." ”
Hearing this, Song Xian, who was sitting next to him, trembled, and then approached Cheng Lian and said, "Could it be that Li Guo's two thieves outside the city were sent to persuade him to surrender?" ”
"It's possible." Cheng Lian heard Song Xian say this, and he felt the same way in his heart. Not to mention that he has now made up his mind and is ready to follow Song Xian to the south of the city to defect to Zhang Liao after the city is broken. Even if there was no Zhang Liao's whereabouts, he was unwilling to take refuge with Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, so he instructed Wu Chang: "Just say that we have fallen asleep, let them leave." ”
"Wait!" Just as Wu Chang agreed and was about to turn around and leave, Wei Xu stopped him. Wei Xu turned his head and said to Cheng Lian and Song Xian: "Even if it is a messenger sent by Li Guo's two thieves, let's listen to what they have to say first, and then decide how to deal with it." ”
"That's very good." Regarding Wei Xu's proposal, Song Xian immediately agreed. And said to the chief Wu in a delightful manner: "Let those two 'old acquaintances' come in!" ”
With little effort, Fu Zhu and Xia Houlan walked into the room under the guidance of the Wu Commander. After waiting for Wu Chang to leave, his eyes swept over the three people in the room one by one, and then said with a smile: "If you are not mistaken, the three should be Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, and Song Xian." ”
Hearing what Fu Zhu said, Cheng Lian sneered, and then asked rhetorically: "That's right, I am Cheng Lian." I don't know which general is Mr. Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou's subordinates? ”
Cheng Lian's question made him stunned, but he quickly understood that the other party regarded him as a lobbyist for Li Guo and others. From the tone of Cheng Lian's speech, he could hear that he was very repulsive to Li Guo and the others, so he said generously: "The Jizhou Supervisor is frustrated ...... below."
"What, you are the Jizhou Prison Army?!" The self-reported identity of the frustrated professor surprised Cheng Lian and the three of them. Wei Xu stammered a little and asked, "Since you are the Jizhou Supervisor, what are you doing in Jingshi?" ”
Without waiting for Fu Zhi to answer, Song Xian pointed to Xia Houlan behind Fu Zhi and asked, "This captain looks familiar, he seems to have seen him somewhere?" ”
"In Xia Xiahoulan." Xiahou Lan arched his hand at Song Xianyi and said, "Today is the first time I have met Your Excellency. ”
"I know who you are, no wonder you look so familiar." After listening to Xiahou Lan's self-report, Song Xian slapped the cases in front of him and said excitedly: "You are the brother of the female Xiahou lieutenant." ”
"Female Xiahou Lieutenant?" Xia Houlan looked at Song Xian with a surprised gaze, and asked with some surprise: "It turns out that Brother Tai has seen her sister?" ”
"That's right, that's right, I met the female Captain Xiahou in General Dian's army." After Song Xian figured out the identity of the other party, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Cheng Lian: "Since he is the brother of the female Xiahou Lieutenant, he is not an outsider." Frustrated Prison Army, Captain Xiahou, please sit down. ”
Long before Fu Zhu and Xiahou Lan came to visit, Song Xian told Cheng Lian and Wei Xu everything that happened outside the city in detail. Even Han Zhan sent someone to infiltrate the Beijing division and prepare to welcome the holy car to Jizhou in the midst of the chaos, and he told the two of them.
Cheng Lian and Wei Xu were looking forward to Zhang Liao, and when they heard that Zhang Liao was willing to escort the holy car to Jizhou, they naturally would not raise any objections. When the three of them were discussing how to find the Jizhou people hiding in the city, they happened to come to visit.
After Fu Zhu and Xia Houlan sat down one after another, Xia Houlan asked Song Xian with some worry: "Song Qidu, we came here to visit you, I wonder if there will be any leaks?" ”
"Don't worry, Captain Xiahou." Song Xian smiled and said to Xia Houlan: "The sergeants inside and outside the General's Mansion are our old department, and our meeting today will definitely not leak the news." ”
After learning about the situation in the army of Dianwei in the south of the city to Song Xian in detail, he felt that what the other party said was true, and his heart suddenly became much more steady. He didn't go around in circles with the three of them, but said straight to the point: "I was ordered to rescue the Son of Heaven in the chaos when the city was broken, and welcome him to Jizhou." ……”
After Cheng Lian patiently listened to what Fu Zhu said, he then asked, "Fu Jian Jun, I don't know what you plan to let the three of us do?" ”
"Now the thieves have surrounded the northern, western, and southern gates of the Jingshi, and we can't get out of the city from there after we rescue the holy car." Frustrated Zhu looked at Cheng Lian, and said sincerely: "The only place that can be passed at that time is the East Gate." I beg the three horsemen to open the net and let us out of the city. ”
Cheng Lian did not immediately reply to the frustration, but set his eyes on Wei Xu and Song Xian on the side. Wei Xu didn't say a word after hearing this, and Song Xian, after thinking for a moment, said: "Frustrated Prison Army, before you came, our three brothers were discussing that after the city was broken, we would immediately rush to the south of the city to join the cavalry captain. Since the Holy Driver is going to leave the city through the east gate, then we will definitely open the door for the prison army. ”
Cheng Lian listened to Song Xian's opinions on behalf of them, but he didn't say anything. But Wei Xu suddenly asked: "Frustrated Prison Army, I want to ask, do you think the Jingshi really can't hold it?" You must know that there are more than 100,000 troops in the city, not only are there more people than the thieves outside the city, but there is also a fierce general Lu Bu, even if the thieves attack the city, it may not be ......."
"Not necessarily what?" Fu Zhu smiled and asked, "Wei Qidu, do you still want to say that the thieves came from afar, and they didn't carry any siege equipment, and they didn't have much food and grass. The troops are stationed under the fortified city, and once the food is exhausted, they have to retreat? ”
Wei Xu saw that Fu Zhu said what he was thinking about, so he nodded and said to Fu Zhu: "Fu Jian Jun, you should understand in your heart that this is all the truth. ”
"That's right, Wei Qidu." Fu Zhu continued: "Although the thieves did not carry siege equipment, they did not have enough food and grass. But don't forget, the defenders in the city and the thieves outside the city are almost all Xiliang men and horses under Dong Zhuo in the past. If Li Guo and the two thieves sent people into the city to persuade them to surrender, who could guarantee that no one would secretly open the city gate and let in the soldiers and horses outside the city? ”
The words of frustration finally convinced Wei Xu and the others. However, Song Xian still had questions about rescuing the emperor from the palace like this: "Frustrated Prison Army, I want to ask, how do you plan to rescue the holy driver from the palace?" ”
Fu Zhu turned his head and glanced at Xiahou Lan who was sitting next to him, and then said: "We have contacted a group of palace attendants, and when the city is broken, we will emerge with Li Guo and the others' soldiers and horses, and under the guidance of the chamberlain, they will sneak into the palace and rob the saint out." ”
Seeing that Fu Zhu had already thought about everything, Song Xian didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked at Cheng Lian and asked, "Do you have anything else to ask the frustrated prison army?" ”
"Frustrated Prison Army," Cheng Lian said politely to Frustrated Commander, "Since the matter of rescuing the Holy Driver is already in progress, then I won't ask too much." But there is one thing to rest assured, as long as you and the Holy Driver do not leave the capital, even if there is only one person left between Cheng and his soldiers,"
"That's right, that's right, I met the female Captain Xiahou in General Dian's army." After Song Xian figured out the identity of the other party, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Cheng Lian: "Since he is the brother of the female Xiahou Lieutenant, he is not an outsider." Frustrated Prison Army, Captain Xiahou, please sit down. ”
