Chapter 382: Return
"General, the Jingzhou army has not chased after you!" In Jianyang, Cui Geng took four guards to hide all the way to a remote place, and the guards who were in charge of listening to the news came back and said to Cui Geng.
Cui Geng rubbed his cheeks, looked at the sun, and said to everyone: "This belongs to the boundary of Thorn Yang, and then about twenty miles to the north, it is the south to gather, there is a manor of my Cui family, everyone will hurry with me again, rest here at night, have a full meal, tomorrow morning, I will set off and cross the river, it will not be far from Wancheng, and at noon tomorrow, I will be able to rush to Wanxian." ”
The Cui family is not a big family in Nanyang, but it is not bitter to say that it is not bitter, over the years, the Cui family has used Cui Geng's name to swagger and deceive in Nanyang, and the local officials did not move them because of their own face, but they really let them accumulate a lot of wealth.
After the south to gather, from Nanyang added up to twenty miles of road, plus it takes time to cross the river, walk early, should be able to Wancheng at noon.
"I'll listen to the general." The four guards bowed in agreement.
After everyone rested in this forest for a while, they got up and continued to hurry, along the way, they could occasionally see the scouts sent by the Jingzhou army, and the main army of the other party was also nearby, as for where it was, Cui Geng did not dare to get too close, and now he was weak, in case he was caught by the enemy, then Nanyang would be completely finished.
Hiding and hiding like this, until the evening, a group of five people arrived in Nan to gather and find Cui's manor here.
Cui Geng, as the symbol of the Cui family, naturally knows that although Cui Geng is now a little embarrassed, disheveled, and looks like a homeless person, he does not dare to slack off, and after determining Cui Geng's identity, he hurriedly welcomed Cui Geng back to the manor.
Late at night, Cui Geng was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up.
"What happened?" Cui Geng hurriedly got up and looked at the guard.
"General, Cui Quan, the head of the Cui family, wants to see the general." The guard bowed.
"Uncle? How did he get here? Cui Geng frowned, not understanding why Cui Quan was here? Didn't you go back before the war?
The guards shook their heads, they didn't know either.
"I'll go see him!" Cui Geng put on his clothes, walked out of the house, and when he came to the main hall, he found that in addition to Cui Quan, there were also several old people in the manor gathered here.
"Uncle, why did you come here?" Cui Geng looked at Cui Quan and asked suspiciously.
"I heard that the war on the front line was tight, and the Jingzhou army raised troops to attack, so I rushed to take a look, who knew that it hadn't arrived yet, and I heard that Yuyang had been broken, fortunately you were fine." Cui Quan motioned for Cui Geng to sit down, shook his head and sighed: "It's still right what Bolun said, those children in the family, if they really join the army, I'm afraid few of them will come back alive this time." ”
"It's good that Uncle can understand, on this battlefield, it is ever-changing, dangerous and abnormal, even if he is proficient in the art of war, he may not be able to retreat from the battlefield if he really goes to the battlefield, let alone ordinary children?" Cui Geng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, as long as the clan didn't always think about coming in through the wrong door.
"So what now? You're out of troops and horses here, so let's leave. Cui Quan said worriedly.
"Uncle don't worry, there are still thousands of soldiers and horses in Wancheng now, enough to defend Wancheng, at most five days, General Wenyuan's reinforcements will be able to arrive in Wancheng, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for the thief army to make a difference!" Cui Geng said with a smile.
"I don't know much about this war, but this time you go back alone, I have just told your third uncle, I will put together thirty people for you here, escort you all the way back, although not much, but at least they are all my Cui family's children, use it at ease." Cui Quan shook his head and said.
"So, thank you Uncle!" Cui Geng hesitated when he heard this, but still accepted Cui Quan's kindness, he knew that this favor would definitely not be in vain, but he really needed someone to help him spy on intelligence now, how many people Liu Bei brought this time, until now, Cui Geng has not figured it out, although there are not many people in the army, but it is not to fight, but to spy on the military situation, let his subordinates take it, and there will be no problems, if there is really something to create, Cui Geng is also willing to pull it, after all, they are all members of the Cui family.
"My own family, how can I thank you? You should rest early, tomorrow morning, Uncle will go on the road with you. Cui Quan waved his hand and smiled.
Cui Geng did not doubt him, and after nodding in agreement, he said goodbye and went back to the room and continued to rest.
In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Cui Geng had already gotten up, took four personal guards and Cui Quan and thirty temporarily assembled strong men, took advantage of the dawn on the road, went out of the south to gather, and went straight to Wanxian.
"Uncle, this is someone from my Cui family?" Cui Geng was a little curious about these thirty strong men, although they were wearing short fights, but in these people, Cui Geng could feel a trace of the momentum that only a regular army had.
"This Nan Ju is the closest place to Nanjun for my Cui clan, and the land here is also cheap, and it has been taken down by me, and there are often Jingzhou troops who come to loot and harass in the past, so the strong men gathered in the south are all counted."
On the other side, Wen Ping and Wang Wei led the army to arrive outside Wancheng, tried to attack once, and found that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, Wen Ping began to arrange people to set up camp, and at the same time let Wang Wei be vigilant, if the enemy army took advantage of the situation to attack, just take down the other party's soldiers and horses out of the city.
However, Zhu Sheng did not rush to send troops, but only sent scouts to spy on the enemy's military situation, and the scouts on both sides did not meet and fight outside Wancheng, although the scale was not large, but it was particularly intense.
Cui Geng finally didn't dare to rush back before Wen Ping and the others arrived in Wancheng, and when they arrived in Wancheng, they had already seen Wen Ping's camp standing in the west of Wancheng, and there were still a large number of scouts around to investigate the situation in this area.
Wancheng, the government office, Zhu Sheng was studying Wancheng's defense strategy, and suddenly a general hurriedly came in and reported: "Generals, General Cui's personal guards have a letter from General Cui asking to see him. ”
"General Cui is here?" Zhu Sheng frowned.
With such a large-scale killing of the Jingzhou army, Yuyang is obviously difficult to protect, at this time, if there is such a general as Cui Geng in the city, they can also be more stable in their hearts.
Although Yuyang was defeated, Cui Geng successfully blocked the Jingzhou army for several days to attack, and the defeat was defeated in terms of troops.
"It's outside the city, and in order to avoid misunderstanding, I'm sending someone to deliver the letter." The general bowed.
"Let the guard in first." Zhu Sheng nodded, the big war is coming, and it is good to be vigilant.
Soon, the guards were brought up and saluted Zhu Sheng.
"Where is General Cui now?" Zhu Sheng was not polite, and asked directly.
"I am resting in the woods on the east side of the river, because I am worried that I will be discovered by the scouts of the Jingzhou army, and I will send a lowly post to take the first step, if the east gate is fine, the general can plant a black flag on the east gate, and the general will leave for the city." The guard bowed and said.
"Then let's go plant the flag." Zhu Sheng nodded and motioned for a general to plant a flag and take Cui Geng into the city.
A quarter of an hour later, Cui Geng entered the city with a team of men, and Zhu Sheng personally went to greet him.
"General Cui, I'm tired." Zhu Sheng didn't say anything about Yuyang's defeat, but just said to Cui Geng, this kind of thing is common, second, even if he wants to be punished, it will not be his turn Zhu Sheng to punish, and third, the enemy is at present, there is no need to say these things that damage his own morale, although he is a general taught by Lu Bu, it does not mean that they can not care about anything like Lu Bu.
"General Lao is here to pick it up." Cui Geng hugged his fists and walked towards the city with Zhu Sheng, while asking: "On the way here, I have explored the descendants of the enemy army, outside of this Wan County, the Jingzhou army has at least 20,000 to 30,000 horses, but this number is wrong. ”
"What's wrong?" Zhu Sheng was puzzled when he heard this, Liu Bei had just arrived in Jingzhou, and it was good to be able to take out so many soldiers and horses.
"When I fought in Yuyang before, I calculated that Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were at least 40,000." Cui Geng said in a deep voice: "The troops that appear here now are far inferior, and I am worried that Liu Bei has other tricks." ”
Where did Liu Bei's soldiers and horses come from, Cui Geng can't know, but Liu Bei's approximate strength Cui Geng has carefully studied, and the soldiers and horses that appear outside Wancheng are far from being as good as them.
"Trickery?" Zhu Sheng was stunned when he heard this, looked at Cui Geng and said, "The general is talking about ......"
"Then the rest of the men and horses are likely to prepare to ambush General Wen Yuan!" Cui Geng nodded.
Now only this explanation can tell the story.
"I immediately sent someone to inform General Wenyuan and teach him to be careful." Zhu Sheng said with a serious expression.
"Send a few more people to deliver the message to avoid being intercepted by the Jingzhou army!" Cui Geng nodded and said, "In addition, I have to be in charge of the defense of Wancheng." ”
The surrounding generals were a little displeased when they heard this, although Cui Geng's official rank was indeed higher than theirs, but you were about to seize power as soon as a defeated general came back, which made people a little uncomfortable.
Zhu Sheng frowned, but he didn't refute, nodded and said, "Okay, I don't know how the general is going to arrange it?" ”
"The positions of the generals remain unchanged, I want to be in charge of defense, it is convenient to coordinate, the generals are still in charge of their own deployment, as long as you listen to my dispatch in wartime, in addition, I want the generals to have under their command, what kind of combat they are good at, and I also ask General Zhu to send someone to explain to me in detail." Cui Geng said slowly.
These words eased everyone's hearts a little, at least the person in front of him was a soldier who knew the soldiers, although there was an extra person in charge of affairs on his head, but their respective rights had not changed.
After Zhu Sheng nodded and agreed, he arranged two generals for Cui Geng, and then hurriedly went to deliver the order.
"Chamberlain, I don't think these people are convinced by you, so it's better to replace us with soul winners, so that you can command easily." After the generals left, Cui Quan said in a low voice.
"Is there anyone in the clan who knows how to fight?" Cui Geng looked at Cui Quan a little helplessly and said: "Changing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers, Uncle Hugh has to mention this matter again, let alone say similar remarks, the big war is coming, everything in this city should be at my disposal, no one is an exception, Uncle and go back to rest." ”
A flash of gloom flashed in Cui Quan's eyes, nodded, stopped making a sound, turned around and left.
