Chapter 121: An Unexpected General
"General Jiang, please help Zilong." When the sky was just dawning, Liu Yi took the men and horses, and said goodbye to Jiang Xiong next to the water village, last night he modified ten sub-mother ships overnight, the bed crossbow was not racked, but the baffle was erected on the edge of the ship, which was used to improve the safety of the ship, especially the bow part of the ship was directly wrapped with wooden planks to make an arch, in order to ensure the safety of the ship-erecting soldiers.
"Don't worry, sir." Jiang Xiong intervened, boarded a sub-mother ship, and gave the order to sail, and in the direction of Cao's army camp in the distance, there was already an endless sound of horns, which was the horn of Cao's army's armament.
Today's task of Jiang Xiong, in addition to harassing along the river, among the 500 soldiers accompanying him, 200 people were supplemented to Zhao Yun, so that with the addition of a new force, coupled with the strength of the camp, it should not be difficult to hold the camp.
Liu Yi had already sent scouts to attack Zhao Yun with all his might, and if the Cao army really sent troops to attack Zhao Yun with all its might, he would order Lu Lingqi and Wei Yue to lead the army to attack directly on the logistics of the Cao army.
There are still not many Cao troops outside the city, it seems that Cao Jun is still preparing to attack Zhao Yun today, after Liu Yi sent Jiang Xiong away, seeing that Cao Jun did not have the appearance of attacking the city, he handed over the matter of defending the city to Wei Yue, and prepared to go to the Tiangong Workshop to see, he recently thought about making some weapons with totems, maybe it can improve the strength of the soldiers, and the attributes of different equipment can be superimposed, but if it is the same attribute, the effect of superposition is not the superposition of values, but the superposition of effects.
For example, the armor and the inner family have defensive attributes, but the effect is not the value of the two sides, each counts its own, but it can be improved after all, almost all the generals in the city are inner armor and outer armor, Liu Yi is going to get some armor with totems, and let's talk about the defense first.
Just as Liu Yi was about to go down to the city, he saw a young general blocking Liu Yi's way, and said loudly: "Sir, now that the Cao army is going to attack the camp, why don't our army attack the Cao army camp while it is necessary, so that they can't take care of each other?" ”
When Liu Yi looked up, he was almost startled, but he saw that the person in front of him was about eight feet long (about one meter eight), and his appearance was quite handsome, but the most important thing was that his face was like a heavy jujube, and there was a beard under the remains.
"Are you ......" Liu Yi looked at the young general in front of him with some uncertainty, and a name flashed in his heart, but he was not sure.
"The last general, Wei Yan." The military general was neither humble nor arrogant, and even bowed to Liu Yi with a little contempt.
"I remember......" Liu Yi pretended to think about it carefully: "You are the Xiangyang guard, how can you be here?" ”
"Sir, you know me, too?" Wei Yan was a little surprised when he heard this, he was really not a character in Xiangyang, and he had no reputation, although Liu Yi was not valued in Xiangyang at the beginning, but as the name of the workshop today, the name of Mocheng is already famous in this Jingxiang.
"When I chatted with General Wang Wei that day, I saw the general, and the general described him as handsome, and he was quite similar to Guan Yu, the general under the command of the emperor's uncle, and he was quite impressed." Liu Yi nodded and smiled.
Wei Yan nodded when he heard this, and explained to Liu Yi why he was here.
On the same day, Liu Bei crossed the river with the people of the two cities and invited Liu Cong to flee for his life, but was rejected by Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others, Wei Yan felt Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, and led the people to open the gate of Xiangyang and invited Liu Bei to enter the city, but at that time Liu Bei was unwilling to fight with the same sect, and led the army and civilians to Jiangling.
Wei Yan saw Liu Bei leaving, and the soldiers under his command were killed by Wenpin, so he broke through the siege with martial arts and looked for the direction of the refugees to find Liu Bei.
It's just that at that time, Liu Bei had few soldiers and many people, hundreds of thousands of refugees were all over the mountains, and he ran a few places and flew into the air, in desperation, Wei Yan wanted to go to Jingnan first to avoid the limelight, after all, after such a trouble, he was famous, but he was also hated by Jingzhou and even Cao Jun, and he couldn't find Liu Bei in a hurry, so it was important to think about how to settle down first, Cao Jun chased tightly, Jiangling was afraid that most of them would be obtained by Cao Jun, and it happened that he had old friends in Changsha, and he went to defect, no matter how he said it, he could also be a general.
It's just that he was mixed with the refugees at that time, and he met Liu Sandao with a boat to extradite the refugees, Wei Yan heard that Mocheng had a good relationship with Liu Bei, maybe he could vote for Liu Bei through Mocheng, so he mixed in among the refugees and boarded the boat and came to Mocheng together.
And Wei Yan is an idle character, so he can be a refugee to receive help, but he is a little embarrassed, plus Wei Yue managed the refugees in a mess at that time, and after Liu Yi took over, he quickly stabilized the people's hearts, and Wei Yan also contributed to it to help deter refugees.
There is no need for him to take the initiative to serve, according to the rules of Mocheng, he has the ability and is willing to stay in Mocheng, according to the promotion path of Mocheng, Wei Yan was easily selected to become an official, because he had a brave body, he was valued by Wei Yue's own family, and he was included in the command and became a team leader.
Wei Yan also felt that the system of Mocheng was very interesting, so he followed Wei Yue's side, followed by Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to attack one after another, Wei Yan followed Wei Yue's side, killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions, and really made a lot of contributions.
Now seeing that Liu Yi has the opportunity to break the enemy but blindly defends, he is also anxious, so when he saw that Liu Yi was going to go down to the city at this moment, he immediately stepped forward to stop the plan.
"Wen Chang, do you know that the soldiers and horses in the city belong to me now?" When Liu Yi heard this, he was not impatient, and he did not consider Wei Yan's thoughts.
"This ...... Mr. allocated 500 people to General Zhao Yun to lead, and now there are less than 700 soldiers in the city. Wei Yan bowed and said: "However, now that the elite of the Cao army is out, leaving only one empty city, Mr. only needs to order people to contain these Cao troops under the city, and send a group of men and horses to go around the enemy by water, only two hundred people, and the Cao army camp will be destroyed, then this battle will be won!" ”
Liu Yi was a little moved when he heard this, and Wei Yue came over on the other side, came to Liu Yi's side and said: "Bo Yuan, Tan Ma Lai reported, Cao Ren led the soldiers and horses to the Zilong camp early this morning to see the soldiers and horses, not to mention that there are five or six thousand people, plus the people and horses here, the elite has been exhausted." ”
"Sir!" Wei Yan looked at Liu Yi with a bit of expectation in his eyes.
"Wen Chang?" Wei Yue looked at Wei Yan suspiciously: "What are you doing here?" ”
Liu Yi nodded, took out a roll of silk silk from his arms, and unfolded it in front of the two of them: "These days, I have watched the Cao army camp, and I have roughly drawn its hard drive, and its grain and grass should be here." ”
Liu Yi pointed to a position on the drawing and said: "Cao Jun is exhausted, I am afraid that there will be at least one school of men and horses left in the battalion, if you go on this trip, there is no need to entangle with Cao Jun, to burn the grain and grass baggage, I can only give you two hundred people, four ships." ”
Whoever comes up with the idea will work, and ordinary people can't do it, so they will gamble with two hundred people to see what Wei Yan is capable of.
"Two hundred, that's enough!" Wei Yan held his head high, and said loudly: "Then please ask Mr. to sit in the city." ”
After speaking, he received the order and took his soldiers to Shuizhai, preparing to bypass the Cao army in front of the city along the river and directly attack the Cao army camp.
