Chapter 280: The Wizard of the Sima Family
Niu Fu couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, he was shocked and angry, and he wanted to immediately raise his knife and chop this Dong Yu alive into pulp, but thinking that he was a member of the Dong family after all, he still held back, his face was dark, and he said coldly: "When did this happen!?" What the hell is going on!! How did you find here!? ”
"It was two days ago, when the Pingyang guard Chen Zhi and Zhang Liao had an affair, but I didn't want Zhang Liao to attack the rear city of our army, regardless of Chen Zhi's life and death. Today, the scouts on the road came to report that they saw that the two armies were playing against each other, and they happened to find the banner of the Grand Governor, so as not to be discovered by the enemy, so they spared the long road and took the trail again. Dong Yu didn't dare to hide it, and said quickly.
When Niu Fu heard this, he first secretly said in his heart: "This place is not far from the border between Hedong and Pingyang and Fengyi, but it is much farther away from Hengwukou, even if you ride a horse, it will take three days." In other words, the day when Hengwukou was broken was at least one day faster than the day when Feng Yi was lost! And at present, it only takes me one day to get to Anyi, but it takes two days to get to Feng Yi, not to mention that there is a beast like Pang De blocking the way.
But Anyi is heavily guarded, Feng Yi is empty, and at present, in order to meet the world and hundreds of officials, Sanfu's troops are all concentrated in Jingzhao, if the news of Feng Yi's loss comes out, and he is eager to raise troops, it will inevitably be chaotic, and it will make the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials panic, and then those with bad intentions can take advantage of the opportunity. In addition, nearly hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang are coming to Jingzhao, if they hear Feng Yi's news along the road, there will inevitably be no turmoil! This effect will even cause the whole situation set by the Taishi to be upheld, and I must not let it happen! ”
Thinking of this, Niu Fu immediately made a decision, and ordered a general beside him: "Pass my order, report to Anyi as soon as possible, and send 5,000 soldiers to come quickly, Anyi is not far from here, if you hurry up, you should be able to arrive at ten o'clock tomorrow morning!" ”
"The Grand Duke! Anyi is the county seat of Hedong, and if you send so many soldiers and horses to come, you are not afraid that Anyi will be attacked by thieves!? When Dong Yu heard this, he couldn't help but change color, and asked anxiously.
When Niu Fu heard this, he was dark, and said: "Anyi is a heavy city in the east of the river, so it has been a solid city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack since history, and this city wall is more than eight zhang high, if there is no siege equipment, it is impossible to break through Anyi!" In this way, the thieves lost the possibility of a surprise attack, and now even if Anyi transferred 5,000 soldiers, there are still 8,000 people to guard. With such a force, according to Anyi and the city, even if it is against tens of thousands of male soldiers, it is more than enough! ”
When Dong Yu heard that the city wall of Anyi was more than eight zhang high, he couldn't help but show a shocked expression, and later listened to Niu Fu's analysis, and quickly calmed down.
When Niu Fu saw it, he snorted coldly, and said: "Don't be happy too early, the reason why I can't transfer 5,000 soldiers from Anyi is because there are fierce beasts blocking the road in front, when the reinforcements come tomorrow, you can first order the soldiers to rest for an hour, and I will lead the troops to cover for you, and when the army is finished, you can lead the troops to Feng Yi to rescue!" ”
"The Metropolitan Governor is willing to lend me the army?" Dong Yu was obedient, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help but be moved. When Niu Fu heard this, he sighed and said: "After all, you are a member of the Taishi's clan, and with the temperament of the Taishi, even if you really want to be beheaded according to the law, it is very painful." If that's the case, why don't I give you a chance to make meritorious contributions. Besides, I am also a doppelganger, and Hedong is the gateway of Sanfu, so I can't afford to lose it, and I must guard it personally! ”
When Dong Yu heard this, his face was shocked, and he was busy kowtowing and thanking him.
The so-called soldiers are fast, and there is a way to surprise attacks.
Or no matter how focused Niu Fu was, it was hard to imagine that someone would dare to attack Anyi City, which was heavily guarded and had towering walls and was as stable as a rock with less than three hundred horsemen!
There will always be some bold people in the world, if they can succeed, the world will be regarded as heroes, if they fail, they will not be more than a puff after all!
Before I knew it, it was already the third watch in the night. On a high ground outside the city of Anyi, Ma Zongheng was silent, and the breeze blew on his resolute countenance. He remembered that many years ago, when he first came to this troubled world, he had apprehension and panic, and that was because he was afraid that he would not be able to fit into this era. Of course, he also had excitement and anticipation, and that was because he always had a brave and fearless heart!
Someone once said that on the battlefield in the era of cold weapons, men either fought with flesh and blood, or set up a situation with wisdom. In order to make a meritorious career, the warrior does not hesitate to die, and the wise racks his brains, that is the romance of a real man.
This romance, Ma Zongheng really felt it, and even more sinking.
"The city is starting to count troops." Suddenly, Ma Zongheng's eyes emitted two terrifying sharp lights. Chen Shi, who was rushing from behind, heard this, and couldn't help but change his complexion, and said with surprise and joy: "As the general expected!" True gods and men too! ”
"Don't be too happy too early, how long will it take for the people led by Gao Kan to arrive!?" Ma Zongheng's face sank, and he asked in a condensed voice.
When Chen Shi heard this, he was shocked and arched his hand: "General Hui, just now Lord Gao came to report that his troops will be able to rush to Anyi City during the fifth watch!" Until then, please don't act rashly before that. ”
"No! Too late! I don't think that Niu Fu will transfer too many soldiers and horses, at most five thousand, the Xiliang army is well-trained, and they rushed to Feng Yi to rescue, and they will have their own supplies at that time, and there is no need to prepare baggage, so when the fourth watch is over, they can send troops. Now the thieves in Anyi don't know that our army is waiting for an opportunity nearby, they are all lax, and there is night cover now, this is a rare opportunity! If our army wants to break Anyi, the only way to do it is to take the opportunity to enter when its army is out of the city. And there is only one chance, otherwise it is impossible to break through the terrible fortified city of Anyi without tens of thousands of troops! Ma Zongheng's eyes shook, and Chen Shi's heart jumped, and he hurriedly asked: "But at the moment, there are only more than 300 people in our army, but there are more than 12,000 soldiers in the city. ”
"You're wrong again! Our army launched an attack on the fourth watch, and at that time, except for the thieves who had to travel and guarded the city, most of the other thieves in the city were probably sleeping to death. But I will teach you to select eight brave and dead men from the army, and you and me, and divide them into ten teams, each with thirty men. When the time is to kill into the city, but listen to an order, separate to the city to kill, and fight and do, but there is no need to fight to the death, as long as shouting that the thieves are unjust, the coalition army killed, causing chaos in the city, and has been held until the fifth watch, if Gao Ran can lead the troops to arrive, with his wit, he will echo with momentum outside. Anyi City has a population of nearly 100,000 households, including Wei, Cai and other great families loyal to the Han family, and there will be a response immediately, if so, it is not impossible to break Hedong! As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, Chen Shi's first reaction was that this person must be crazy, but seeing his hot eyes, he couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva and asked: "General, although your design is good, it is extremely dangerous, but in case, the whole army will be wiped out, and even if you have the courage of ghosts and gods, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape!" ”
Ma Zongheng listened, just smiled, and said lightly: "I have already made a decision, either I will attack Anyi, or I will die in Anyi." ”
When Chen Shi heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, staring at Ma Zongheng deadly, but he didn't see any fear, but calmly and terrifyingly.
And at the same time that an earth-shattering battle was about to take place in Anyi City, in Wen County, Hanoi, it is said that the Sima family is a big family in Hanoi, and they are even good at business, and even spread all over the world, and many princes and even thieves are secretly funded by the Sima family. And here in Wen County, every street and alley is the property of the Sima family, and someone once said that the Sima family has so much money that it may be able to buy one-third of the Han family!
It's just that in troubled times, money is not omnipotent, if you don't have the ability to protect money, it will lead to death, and it is precisely because of this that the Sima family will secretly fund all forces without distinction between loyalty and treachery. After all, for businessmen, the most important thing is to value harmony, as long as they can feel at ease, spend some silver taels, it is not a problem at all.
However, Rao can be rich and rival the country, but the Sima family is very low-key. And it is said that the reason why the Sima family has been able to grow by leaps and bounds in recent years is because of the change of an extremely young family head, who is said to be young, but rather milky and dry, because this family head has just turned fourteen years old.
It's the time of the third watch, but the Sima Mansion, which is like a palace garden, is still brightly lit.
"Zhongda, the Yuan family in Jiangnan is asking for grain again, are you going to give it away for free or trade this time?"
"Yuan Shu is insatiable, but he regards my Sima family as a mountain of gold for him to excavate. Not a single grain was given, the price of grain was raised by 30 percent, and 3,000 good blades were sent to Liu Biao in Jingzhou. ”
"Ahh Will this offend Yuan Shu, this person is narrow-minded, and his brother Yuan Shao is the male lord of Hebei, and my Sima family can't afford to offend. ”
"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have always been at odds. I did it on purpose to show Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao hears that the Sima family has a grudge against Yuan Shu, he will definitely come to curry favor, as long as he climbs Yuan Shao, in the next twenty years, no one will dare to touch my Sima family! ”
"Ahem, even if Zhongda is right, then why do you have to send three thousand good blades to that Liu Biao, this is a lot of expenses!"
"Give it to Liu Biao, firstly, to demonstrate to Yuan Shu, and secondly, to let Yuan Shao see, my Sima family is not afraid of threats, and he will not want to restrain my Sima family in the future. Third, Yuan Shu knew in his heart the financial resources of my Sima family, and I was afraid that he would not dare to be angry at that time, and he would do everything possible to curry favor. ”
"Are you really sure of that?"
"Yuan Shu seems to be moody and elusive on the surface, but in fact, he is only taught by his subordinates, and the real face of this person is just a gentleman. If you are afraid of such a person, the more he thinks you are incompetent, and even wants to submit you, preferably like a dog. If you dare to resist him, he will start to pay attention to you again, and after regaining your ability, if you have this ability, he will put away the high shelf. ”
"Understood. Zhongda, you should rest early, there are still a lot of things for you to deal with tomorrow. ”
"Okay, third uncle, fourth uncle, don't worry, I'll sleep soon."
But outside the door, there was an old man who was tall and short, both of whom were of a certain age. Gao has a white beard with a full jaw and is in good spirits. Short, fat, rich and noble at a glance, and often with a smile on his face.
But it is said that the tall one is named Sima Huang, who is the third in the family, and the short one is called Sima Bin, who is the fourth.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then turned to leave together.
"The third child, Zhong Da's talent is comparable to Guan Zhong and Zhang Liang, it's a pity to stay here."
