Chapter 1:139 General Lymon
"Don't talk about this, let's leave for Jiangxia! Rest for a few days, and then go to Jianye to meet the lord, do you think this is good? Seeing that Guan Zheng didn't mean nonsense, Ling Cao changed his words and asked for his opinion!
"It's good! Let's go to Jiangxia for a few days to rest! Then go back to Chaisang, settle them down, and finally go to Jianye...... Lao Tzu's life was almost lost, presumably the lord would not be able to wait a few more days! The senior official stood up and patted the dirt behind his buttocks, and said with some resentment!
"Uh...... I said, "Brother, you're amazing!" I went out and brought back four ...... How many times do you have to go out here...... Can you still fit it in your back house?! Come on, come on, teach my brother how to hook up......" Ling Cao glanced at the carriage and swept it, turned around and pulled Guan Zheng and walked a few steps and whispered to him!
"..... You dare to hook up outside, and the one in your family has to skin you alive?! ...... Ouch, it's been a bump for me! Go quickly, bring a few horses to ......" The official in charge smiled shamefully at Ling Cao, looked at the haggard faces of the few people on the carriage, and asked him for horses!
"Hey, I've been in the car for half a month, and now I feel much more active when riding a horse!" helped Fu Shou and the girls to ride on horseback, and called over a few soldiers to hold the reins in front of their heads. Guan Zheng turned over a war horse at this time, turned around a few times and smiled at a few beauties!
"That's it, we see that the sky is in the car, and we are about to fall apart! The scenery here is so beautiful......" Fu Shou, who was riding on horseback, rubbed his waist, his eyes looked around, and he said with some excitement! only to escape from the catastrophe and see that everything is beautiful. In fact, what appeared in her eyes right now was nothing more than a wilderness overgrown with weeds and trees! What kind of scenery can you talk about there...... At most, a few old eagles occasionally fly in the sky to meet the occasion!
Under the escort of more than 1,000 cavalry, he rode forward for about two hours! There was a military fort in front of everyone, a military fort built of waist-thick logs, which was stuck between the two peaks in front of it. The passage between Jiangxia and Xinye has been blocked! On the fence more than three zhang high and more than one zhang wide, dozens of guards are standing at this time, cruising back and forth on the wall with torches! The fortress only has the west gate and the east gate, the west gate is the direction of Xinye, and the east gate is the one leading to Jiangxia.
The dozens of zhang area near the direction of the fortress are full of iron thorns, giant trees to resist horses, traps and other defenses! If you want to quietly take this fortress that guards Jiangxia City, it is almost an impossible task! As long as the invading enemy makes the slightest movement, the dozen or so giant crossbows placed on the city wall will burst out with their due power and give the enemy a head-on blow! And this fortress is only a few dozen miles away from Jiangxia City, once the battle breaks out, reinforcements can arrive within a few hours! As long as no one inside the fortress opens the door, this is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack!
Guan Zheng rode his horse on the path in front of the fortress, and an iron pot was placed at intervals around the road, and firewood was stacked in the pot, and the firewood was poured with grease. A dazzling flame was flickering at the moment, and there was the crackling sound of burning firewood! Under the illumination of firewood, within a radius of 100 zhang, there is nothing to hide from any wind and grass! A pot of firewood filled with grease can burn for about two hours, and the patrol will pass by to add firewood once, which will keep the flame until the wee hours of the morning, and the sky will turn white!
"Who's the ...... Report your name, or you'll be able to release the arrows! While Guan Zheng was inspecting these things to help defend with great interest, there was a sound of warning from the front fortress as a thrizzle shot at the corner of the cavalry formation!
"Heavily garrisoned....... Well scheduled! Not bad! Guan Zheng saw the defenders shuttling back and forth on the fortress wall by the light of the fire, and praised Ling Cao on the side!
"Jiangxia garrison general Ling Cao is here....... Quickly open the city gate" Ling Cao grinned at Guan Zheng, and later shouted at the defenders on the city wall!
"General Ling, it's General Ling who has returned to the army! Hurry up and open the door......" When the defenders heard Ling Cao's voice, they hurriedly ran down the city, unbolted the door and pushed up the city gate vigorously!
After dozens of breaths, the two-foot-thick gate was pushed open by more than a dozen defenders! After the door opened, a team of light horses galloped out and went straight to the rear of Ling Cao's horse team. This is a horse sentry sent out for fear that the enemy will follow and take the opportunity to steal the city, once they find that an enemy is coming, they will quickly shoot out their hands to warn them! The gates of the fortress will be closed in the shortest possible time, and the defenders on the walls will also shoot arrows in their hands to block the speed and footsteps of the enemy! This arrangement, I have to say that it is not leaky!
"General Guan, please enter the castle and rest for one night, and you will be able to return to Jiangxia tomorrow!" When the time comes, my Lao Ling will give you a drink again! "In front of the soldiers, Ling Cao still knows the rules and calls Guan Zheng a general!
"General Ling is polite, so, let's enter the fort!" As soon as the senior officials saw that Ling Cao was serious, they were also a little reserved at the moment!
"Welcome the general back to the army....... As the footsteps stepped into the gate of the fortress, more than a thousand defenders in the fort knelt on one knee and shouted with their fists clenched! They are in the middle of the road to welcome Ling Cao back to the army......
"It seems that General Ling's prestige in the hearts of the soldiers is very high! Not bad...... "This is the second time Guan Zheng has praised Ling Cao today!" A general who commands the army can be loved and respected by the soldiers under him, then this general is not much worse!
"Hey, hey, I've won a prize!" A man like Ling Cao, who has been praised repeatedly, can't help but feel a little proud in his heart!
"The general has returned to the army? Can you get to General Guan? As he was talking, a young general flashed next to him, clasping his fists and asking Ling Cao!
"Who is this?" Guan Zheng looked at this young general with a white face and no beard, his eyes were bright, and his face was a little shy, and he turned his head and asked!
"I'm going to introduce you! This is my deputy, Lu Meng and Lu Ziming! Ziming, this is the military general Guan Zheng that you talk about day and night, Guan Zheng, Guan Zheng! Ling Cao got off the horse, pulled over Na Lu Meng, pushed down Guan Zheng who was dismounting in front of him and said!
"Ahh This is General Guan? Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! As soon as Lu Meng heard that Guan Zheng was in front of him, he hurriedly clenched his fists and looked up for a long time! To say that he is also an "old man" who has followed the ancestor Sun Ce for many years! However, under Sun Quan's hands, it has never been reused, so he will always mention it in front of Ling Cao. If you can mix with Guan Zheng like this one day, it will not be worthy of Jiangdong's father!
"Lu Ziming, Lu Meng...... What is your current job? When Guan Zheng saw and met a member of Jiangdong's power in the future, he hurriedly asked about his position!
"Shame...... The last general is now just taking on the role of a general! "The generals are only one level higher than the hundred generals! Compared with the military divisions and generals in charge of the big officials, it really made Lu Meng feel ashamed!
"Ziming will be a pioneer in every battle, and his courage is unparalleled......" Ling Cao saw that Guan Zheng was interested in his deputy, and hurriedly recommended it to him! In his opinion, Lu Meng and Guan Zheng are both characters and friends who have an appetite for themselves! If Guan Zheng can carry his deputy, it would be great!
"In this world, it's not enough to do things with courage! I see that you have an elegant face, have you ever read? "Guan Zheng is a little strange, with Lu Meng's talent, why is he just a general!
"A young man was poor and never read many poetry books! I only studied in private school for two years......" mentioned this, Lu Meng's face was even more ashamed!
"No wonder! It turns out that Lu Meng at this time is not the Lu Meng who made Sun Quan admire Shi Bei for three days! When Guan Zheng heard this, he suddenly realized!
"Go back, I'll ask someone to send you some art of war, poetry and books! Read more in your spare time, it's good for you! Well...... Hehe, I'm looking forward to the day when you impress your lord! Come on, I'm optimistic about you! "The officials in charge decided to spur Lu Meng to study, and he would do it himself!
