Chapter 233: The Messenger
When Liu Bei's front army arrived, Liu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, although there were not many 3,000 people, but at least they had a little defense, even if the enemy attacked, they could defend it, and hold on until Liu Bei's main force arrived.
However, for the people in Nanzheng City, this is a little uncomfortable, how many people is there in this Liu Bei? These days, there are almost 30,000 troops coming in and out, and now they continue to increase their troops?
In Nanzheng City, even if you add the soldiers and horses brought back by Yang Ren, there are less than 20,000 horses, Yang Ren's 20,000 army attacked Chuyang, although Wei Yan was almost wiped out, but the enemy was injured by 1,000 and suffered 800, Yang Ren's army was continuously calculated, and nearly half of it was lost, and the entire Nanzheng City is now about 17,000 people and horses.
According to the news from the scouts, there are almost 30,000 troops entering the camp these days, and looking at the appearance of the other party, it is obvious that there are follow-up troops, which makes the hearts of all the civil and military forces in Hanzhong a little heavy.
This battle has not yet started, and the bottom of his heart has been a little timid, too guarded in the house, Zhang Lu sat on the main seat with a frown, and everyone under the tent did not speak, Liu Bei's army continued to increase its troops, which was more uncomfortable than directly attacking the city, and there was a feeling of waiting for death.
Yang Ren yesterday proposed to take advantage of his unstable foothold to attack the camp, but was vetoed by Zhang Lu, Nanzheng City now has this little force, if the attack on the camp fails, the people will not be damaged at all, but they can't afford to lose, this risk, they can't afford it.
"Master!" Yang Song looked at everyone, then at Zhang Lu, and suddenly bowed down and said: "It's not a way to wait like this, it's better to send a messenger to Liu Beijun, first, you can explore Liu Beijun's reality, and second, you can also try to reconcile with Liu Beijun?" ”
Zhang Lu was a little moved when he heard this, and looked at the group of civil and martial arts: "What do you think?" ”
Generals, you look at me, I look at you, and I think it's a way, it's better than just doing it and waiting, like waiting for death.
Seeing that the generals had no opinions, Zhang Lu said again: "Who is willing to go?" ”
This......
It's not that no one dares to go, but what to say? The generals set their eyes on each other and went into battle to fight, they are capable, but if they want to be messengers, they should leave it to Wenchen to do.
Yang Song smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but saw Yan Pu take the first step and said, "Master, I am willing to go!" ”
Under normal circumstances, it is whoever makes the idea who does the work, but Yan Pu is not very confident about Yang Song, and he also wants to see Liu Beijun's reality, so he decided to go through this experience by himself.
Seeing that no one else stood up, Zhang Lu nodded silently and said: "Then ask Bo Nian to go to Liu Bei's army, if Liu Xuande is willing to reconcile, I am willing to form an ally with him and offer goods!" ”
"Whoa!" Yan Pu bowed, and then ordered the entourage, and then went out of the city and went straight to Liu Beijun's camp.
……
"Sir, Envoy Zhang Lu is coming here." The scouts on Liu Yi's side had naturally already discovered the envoy's movements and reported to Liu Yi first.
"Envoy?" Liu Yi frowned and thought for a while, looked at Guan Ping and said: "Go and dress up, Han Sheng, you go and be responsible for greeting the other party's envoys, and arrange all the horses in the camp in the place where Zhang Lu's envoys pass, don't let them see the clues." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Huang Zhong to agree, he pulled Guan Ping to put on makeup, these days, in order to deal with emergencies, the things that make up Guan Ping are ready at any time, and it doesn't take a moment to draw it.
The three thousand men and horses quickly replaced the straw men, put the straw men in the rear, and all the active men and horses in the battalion were mobilized in the direction facing Nanzheng, and the back row was also mixed with some grass men, with the attributes of the military camp, if you don't run over to see it carefully, it is difficult to find the problem.
When everything was ready, Yan Pu also came to the gate with his entourage, holding a flag representing the envoys, and asked for them to be released into the camp.
"Open the door!" Huang Zhong stood on top of the gate, glanced at the Yan Pu, and waved his hand.
"Crunch~" In the stunned gaze of Yan Pu and the envoys, in a piercing sound of wood rubbing, the gate was automatically opened.
Above the gate, a group of soldiers stood solemnly, just that momentum, not comparable to the soldiers of Hanzhong, Rao is Yan Pu also looked at it and was amazed.
Huang Zhong led the two of them down from the gate, looked at the envoys, and waved his hand: "Disarm!" ”
"Slow!" Yan Pu frowned and said: "I have heard for a long time that General Guan is brave all over the world, and now he is in the barracks of your army, isn't it because of General Guan's bravery, and he is still afraid that we will harm him?" ”
"This is a military regulation, but also a courtesy, you wait for the envoy to come and meet the commander of my three armies with a sharp sword, what do you want?" Huang Zhong said coldly.
When Yan Pu heard this, he had to order his entourage to wait at Yuanmen, hand over his weapons to his entourage, and go to the Chinese army camp with Huang Zhong.
Along the way, silently observed, but saw Liu Bei's army array, in all directions, with a forest of fighting arches, there were soldiers patrolling on it, although it was not clear to see farther away, but the figures were heavy, and the soldiers were angry, just this military appearance, it made Yan Pu's heart dark, and he thought silently in his heart, if the Hanzhong army came to attack, how many chances of victory were there in the face of such a military camp?
The result made him a little frustrated.
The two of them walked forward dozens of steps, but it was not a straight line, Yan Pu learned a lot in his chest, and faintly saw that the layout of this military camp was secretly combined, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Guan Yu is a famous general in the world, and now it seems that no matter the layout of this military camp or the morale of the soldiers, there is no one in the Hanzhong army who can compare, and it is really a vain soldier under the fame.
In front of the Chinese army camp, a big handsome flag stood in the wind, which made people unconsciously give birth to a sense of awe, and the entire military camp, from top to bottom, gave people an indescribable sense of oppression, and there was a feeling of breathlessness.
"Please!" Huang Zhong came to the tent, saw that Yan Pu was a little distracted, and stretched out his hand to lead the way.
Hearing this, Yan Pu took a deep breath, nodded silently, and with Huang Zhong entering the account, the handsome case of 'Guan Yu' was facing the tent curtain, as soon as he entered, he felt an indescribable majesty and domineering spirit rushing to his face, Rao was Yan Pu's heart, and he actually had a feeling of wanting to kneel down with weak legs.
After taking a few breaths in succession, Yan Pu stabilized his emotions, and looked at Guan Yu sitting at the back of the handsome case with some horror in his heart, he came to investigate with Zhang Wei that day, but he just watched from afar, but he didn't feel anything, but at this moment, when he really faced Guan Yu, although Guan Yu didn't move, just sat silently behind the handsome case, but in that expectation, the smoothness that flashed in his eyes fell on Yan Pu's face, it felt like he had been scraped by a knife, his heart beat violently, and his legs began to weaken again.
"Bajun, Yanpu, see Hanshou Pavilion Marquis!" Gritting his teeth slightly, Yan Pu bowed to Guan Yu and said.
"Get up!" Guan Ping tried to recall Guan Yu's attitude and momentum when he met with scholars before, with a bit of arrogance on his face, these days, in order to imitate Guan Yu well, Guan Ping has done a lot of training under Liu Yi's training, in order to be able to Guan Yu's unruly momentum, Liu Yi also personally helped Guan Ping make a few hanging ornaments, and now Guan Ping's neck, waist and wrist are hung with Guan Yu's pendant, just to be able to give full play to the domineering feeling, and now it seems that the effect is still good.
Yan Pu tried his best to calm his mind, and after a slight salute, he got up and looked at Guan Yu, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the prince is a famous general in the world, and the tiger prison is closed to cut Huaxiong, and the face is good and ugly, for the whole loyalty, after five passes and six generals, the garden has been curtained for a long time, and I only hate to see it, and today I can see the general's face, which is enough to say that I have a life!" ”
Guan Ping glanced at him indifferently: "Mr. has something to say, you might as well say it bluntly, Guan is a martial artist and doesn't like this." ”
Yan Pu only felt a suffocation in his chest, and when it came to his mouth, it turned into a bitter smile.
After a while, Fang Cai bowed down and said: "My lord has no intention of being an enemy of Uncle Huang, Uncle Yu has always admired him, and he has no grudge against Uncle Huang......"
"In that case, why don't you come down early?" Guan Ping didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and asked directly, I don't know if it was affected by the pendants made by Liu Yi, but at this moment, I feel more and more like my father.
Yan Pu felt that his breathing stopped suddenly, and looked at Guan Yu with a wry smile: "Hanzhong is where my lord has worked hard for many years, although he has been the name of the emperor's uncle for a long time, but it is not easy to give up this half of his life's foundation!" ”
"In that case, preparing for war is, why say more?" Guan Ping said coldly: "Mr. is here, is it playing Guan Mou?" ”
Yan Pu felt that he really couldn't communicate with this rough man, so he said directly: "Pu was ordered to come this time, hoping to stop the war, and Uncle Huang is to defeat Hanzhong and make wedding dresses for others, but why bother?" It is better for you and me to form an alliance, my lord is willing to offer grain, grass, gold and silver, and promise the emperor that he will never be an enemy of the emperor's uncle, and if he can benefit the state in the future, my land in Hanzhong will be given away. ”
"Finished?" Guan Ping looked at Yan Pu and said indifferently.
Yan Pu's heart sank a little, and he nodded silently.
"Prepare for war, this general came this time to take Hanzhong, not to form an alliance, your lord does not seem to have the intention of surrendering, in this case, why bother talking?" Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "Send off!" ”
"Junhou, this ......" Yan Pu didn't expect Guan Yu to be so faceless, and wanted to say more.
"Please, sir!" Huang Zhong had already come in from outside the tent and stretched out his hand to Yan Pu.
"Alas~" Yan Pu had no choice but to salute Guan Ping and follow Huang Zhong out of the tent.
It wasn't until Yan Pu left for a long time that Guan Fang breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said to the rear: "Sir, is this all right?" ”
"Good!" Liu Yi walked out from the rear, and when he saw Guan Ping, he avoided his gaze and waved his hand: "First remove those ornaments I gave you, it's very tiring to talk like this." ”
Those Guan Yu carvings are indistinguishable from each other, and the domineering spirit that comes to the face really makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
When Guan Ping heard this, he was a little reluctant to take off a few carvings that Liu Yi gave him, and smiled at Liu Yi: "Sir, these objects are so wonderful, and they are really gods." ”
"Tricks." Liu Yi waved his hand, sat down and said, "I don't know if this can change that Zhang Lu's opinion and make him surrender." ”
"I don't know." Guan Ping shook his head with a smile and said.
"Wait, maybe a messenger will be sent."
