Chapter 588: Reed Land
readx;??? readx; Jiangxia Chibi is about forty or fifty miles to the west, and there is a rather dangerous path. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although this trail is not the only way to Yangyang, it can be half a day shorter than usual to get to Yangyang.
And at this moment, there is an army of 10,000 people who are rapidly passing through this trail, and the banner of this army is a big Yuan character.
And this army of 10,000 people was led by two generals about thirty or so, one holding a lance, and the other holding a spear, and the appearance of these two men was still seven or eight points.
These two are a pair of brothers, the one holding the lance is the elder brother Lu Kuang, and the one holding the spear is the younger brother Lu Xiang.
And just as Zhou Yu guessed, the two of them were generals under Yuan Shao, and they led their troops to Jingzhou this time to rescue Yuan Shu.
Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have always been at odds, the two are brothers after all, and those old guys of the Yuan family in Runan also sent a letter to Yuan Shao to send troops.
The old guys in the clan had already spoken, and Yuan Shao didn't want to offend them, plus Yuan Shu begged in a low voice, which made Yuan Shao's heart feel even more happy, so he finally decided to send the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to rescue Yuan Shu.
However, on the Jizhou side, Yuan Shao himself was also dealing with this Han Fu, although Han Fu was not vulnerable at all, but at this critical time, Yuan Shao did not dare to be careless, so he only sent 10,000 soldiers and horses, at least he was able to block the mouths of those old guys.
As for whether he can help Yuan Shu or something, it is within Yuan Shao's consideration.
If he can help Yuan Shu destroy Liu Biao's coalition army, it will naturally be the best, and when the time comes, I can't tell if I can still get a piece of the pie in Jingzhou.
But if you can't go back to the sky, it doesn't matter, it's just 10,000 soldiers and horses, Yuan Shao really doesn't care about it, if it's gone, it's gone, anyway, he has already sent troops, and those old guys have nothing to complain about.
However, Yuan Shao also understood what Yuan Shu's reputation was now. If this is to help him openly, then I am afraid that even his reputation will stink at that time.
Therefore, Yuan Shao also confessed early, this time they sent troops under the banner of Yuan Shu, anyway, both of them were surnamed Yuan. As long as Lu Kuang and the two of them are not stupid and report to their families, no one will blame him Yuan Shao, and such an act can not be said to be careless.
"Everybody quickened my pace and waited until I got through here. Then you can stop and rest. Lu Kuang drank loudly.
After this trail, walk dozens of miles, and that is the territory of Xiangyang.
Lu Kuang is also very good, it is almost sunset at this moment, wait for this trail and then take a good rest, and when it is nightfall, you can take Xiangyang in one go.
There was no half-point response behind him, but there were only more dense footsteps, and in such a hurry, the army behind him was already tired enough, and now he could rest when he heard it. That's a little impatient.
"Big brother, why did you say that the lord asked us to come all the way to help Yuan Shu." Lu Xiang rode a horse, and in order to let the army behind him catch up, he also slowed down, so he still had the energy to chat with others.
"Don't talk nonsense, since it's the lord's order, then we'll just do it." Lu Kuang frowned and said solemnly.
Lu Xiang pursed his lips helplessly, although the two of them are brothers, their temperaments and personalities are really different. If it weren't for the fact that they were brothers, I guess we wouldn't have been able to talk together at all.
And at this moment, Lu Xiang was also very unhappy in his heart, in Jizhou, if it weren't for the winter. I'm afraid that Han Fu has been wiped out, and the current Han Fu is just lingering.
Seeing that they were able to take Han Fu and Jizhou, they had a lot of credit to be gained, but the two brothers were sent to Jingzhou to do this thankless thing.
If they can successfully destroy Liu Biao, they will help Yuan Shu. It is estimated that he will not get much credit, who told Yuan Shao that he doesn't want to have too much to do with the current Yuan Shu.
But the opposite is different, if they fail, it is estimated that they will inevitably be punished by Yuan Shu.
Seeing that Yan Liang and Wen Chou are making a lot of credit in Jizhou, but they are so hard, what kind of good mood can they have.
"Something doesn't seem right!" And at this time, Lu Kuang suddenly called out and looked left and right.
"Ah, what's wrong?" Lu Xiang glanced at Lu Kuang a little lazily, not knowing why.
"It seems to be ......"
"Shoot the arrows!" Lu Kuang said in general, and there was an angry shout from the reeds next to the trail.
Without waiting for Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to react, a dense rain of arrows was shot on both sides.
"It's not good, hide!" Lu Kuang hurriedly reminded, but where was the time, the rain of arrows had already shrouded him.
In an instant, there were bursts of screams from the rear army, and countless people and horses died under this dense rain of arrows, setting off a panic.
The rain of arrows on both sides was still coming, but because of the reeds that were taller than people, they could not even see a single enemy, and all they could see was that their companions fell to the ground with arrows and died.
"Damn it! Hold it for me! Seeing that this had not yet arrived in Xiangyang, he encountered an ambush first, and a large number of men and horses were constantly dying like this, Lu Xiang was immediately annoyed, and immediately wanted to rush into the reeds to slaughter these rats who were hurting people with hidden arrows.
"Second brother, don't be impulsive!" Seeing this, Lu Kuang hurriedly stopped Lu Xiang.
"Big brother, I'm going to kill all these bastards! Judging from this rain of arrows, the most ambushed people are only two or three thousand, and they can be destroyed with a backhand! Lu Xiang roared.
"Be careful, since the enemy dares to come, it must have been prepared, the reeds are so high, who knows how many people there are, I am afraid that they are trying to lure the enemy." Lu Kuang said.
Lu Xiang said angrily: "Then what should I do!" ”
"Rush out of here first, reorganize the army, find out the enemy's situation, and then kill back!" Lu Kuang gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Good!" Lu Xiang responded, shouting at the army behind him: "Everyone, rush out with me!" ”
was shouted by Lu Xiang like this, and suddenly everyone had a backbone, and everyone sped up their pace, following the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, wanting to rush out of this place of death as soon as possible.
At this moment, in the corner of the reed field, Zhou Yu's figure was revealed, looking at the fast Yuan Shao army, there was no eagerness on his face, but a smile was revealed.
"Pass my order, you don't have to chase the large army, and wipe out the soldiers and horses left behind in the rear!" Zhou Yu gave an order to the people around him.
In an instant, the reeds in the reed field automatically rose without wind again, and Zhou Yu's figure disappeared in an instant. (To be continued.) )
