Chapter Ninety-Four: The Warehouse Tunnel

Guan Yu looked at this person anxiously, and saw that the person who opposed it was Zheng Liang, the old general who Zhuge Songyuan had left in Maicheng, and couldn't help but be slightly moved. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info.:。

Zheng Liang people are soft-spoken, the reason why they can attend the meeting as an observer is that Guan Yu saw the face of Liu Bei as the 'attendant' guard chief before Zheng Liang entered Jing, and the second is that many of Guan Yu's troops have fled in the past few days, and only Zheng Liang's department is responsible for guarding the safety of Guan Yu and all civil officials in the city guard, and there are still hundreds of people, and now it is a large military force in the city.

Since Guan Yu led the army into the city, Zheng Liang has been responsible for protecting the safety of officials of all sizes, and the matter of defending the city is discussed by Guan Yu with Guan Ping, Zhou Cang and others, and Zheng Liang often does not say a word. At this time, the situation in Maicheng was dangerous, but he suddenly spoke out against the breakthrough, just if he broke through, he needed hundreds of soldiers under his command, and everyone present was shocked.

Guan Yu wanted to use his troops to break through the siege, although he was dissatisfied, he also had to endure the 'sex' and asked: "You said that you can't break through, but you also know the situation in the city, if you don't break through, you will pull your men and horses up the city wall tomorrow, and after tonight, it is unknown whether you can still hold it for two days." Zheng Liang, do you have a clever plan to help us get out of danger? ”

Although today's events have been expected by Zhuge Song, when the matter comes to an end, Zheng Liang can't help but hesitate. But since the voice is made, the arrow is already in the string, and it has to be sent.

In the face of Guan Yu, Zheng Liang still took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the hall and bowed to Guan Yu deeply: "Although there is no trick in the next place, my general left a way for the general to get out of the way before leaving!" With that, he took out a letter from his body and presented it with both hands.

"Oh?" Guan Yu's face changed drastically, and while unfolding the letter, he sighed to Zheng Liang: "Zhuge Song not only expected that Dongwu would sneak attack the alliance, but also expected that I would eventually be trapped here?" ”

Zheng Liangzheng replied: "General Zhuge said in his words, if the prince knows that Jiangling and the public security are lost, he will abandon Fancheng to save him, but Dongwu has coveted Nanjun for a long time, and it has been successful, and it is difficult to recapture it, and with the heart of the prince, it must be exhausted, and it will be difficult to admit defeat, so I ordered me to go to Maicheng first, plan a retreat, and then offer this life-sustaining strategy when the prince is determined to enter Sichuan, otherwise, the prince will not be able to say from the letter!" ”

The audience was shocked for a while, and Wang Fu said in a lost voice: "This, this is really an unpredictable ability!" Everyone turned their eyes to the letter in Guan Yu's hand, not knowing what kind of strategy could be used to save this crisis.

Guan Yu was shocked and also took a look, only to see that the letter wrote:

The prince forgives the sins, and Song'er worships again in fear.

Xi Goujian was humiliated by servants and finally destroyed the king of Wu. Xiang Yu refused to cross south, and his hegemony was lost. The prince and the marquis put righteousness first, and did not think about the betrayal of the alliance of Eastern Wu, and after the water in Fancheng, he 'wanted' to reap the full credit. and Jiangling, the public security are lost, back to the division 'want' to recover, how can there be Cao in the north of the army, in the south there is Lu 'Meng' to protect the merits, the front lost the strength of the attack, and there is no foreign aid to be expected.

Song'er ordered Zheng Liang to be here, not to have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and he did not want to end up in the situation I feared. However, the prince and the marquis have seen the letter, the matter must be urgent, the general is unwilling to give in, although it is easy to sacrifice his life to take righteousness, but he should think of the righteousness of the lord and the three generals and the prince Taoyuan. Now the lord has Bashu in the west, and Hanzhong, is full of ambition, a grand plan of the time, if the prince is lost, the king of Hanzhong is 'chaotic', in order to avenge the general's revenge, eager to fight, more easy to be bullied by the enemy, the army will be defeated, and it is difficult to compete with the two heroes. Therefore, I hope that the prince and the marquis will endure the humiliation of the moment from Zheng Liang's words, and become the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, which is a big festival that damages small righteousness. That's it, the prince is self-determined!

After Guan Yu took a quick look, his face was 'color' and 'cloudy'. sighed and read it carefully, put down the letter, and looked at Zheng Liang in front of him, who bowed his head slightly and didn't dare to look directly at him, and his heart fluctuated for a while.

The first half of Zhuge Song's letter is equivalent to a change of direction to blame Guan Yu for today's defeat, all because he was stubborn and did not listen to Zhuge Song's persuasion to withdraw from the army. Although the facts have proved to be the case, with Guan Yu's 'sexual' character, accepting Zhuge Song's strategy and obeying Zheng Liang's arrangement, it is undoubtedly admitting that he is willing to bow his head in front of this scholar who is not as old as a weak crown, which is indeed more uncomfortable than killing him.

But just when Guan Yu had the heart to tear up the letter and not be disgraced to death, Zhuge Song's words later changed the conversation, mentioning Liu Bei and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's friendship, and even more deducted the responsibility for Liu Bei's eagerness to enter the army for revenge that would lead to a big defeat on Guan Yu's head. Especially the sentence "self-determination of the prince and prince" at the end, it seems to let Guan Yu decide for himself, but in fact, he is asking Guan Yu if he wants to destroy the entire overall situation of Liu Bei's revival of the Han family in order to achieve his personal reputation!

I think that Guan Yu did not hesitate to hang the seal and seal the gold for Liu Bei, rode alone for thousands of miles, and killed six generals after five passes, just to achieve his reputation of loyalty. At this time, as soon as this big hat was buttoned, even if Guan Yu felt that Zhuge Song's words were a bit sensational, Liu Bei had so many strategists and good generals to assist him, and he might not be able to avenge himself, but he finally let go of his determination to die to become benevolent.

Guan Yu watched Zhuge Song's letter with Guan Ping, Zhao Lei, Wang Fu and others, and said to Zheng Liang: "I am righteous with my eldest brother and third brother Taoyuan, and I vow not to be born on the same day in the same year, but to die on the same day and in the same year." Zhuge Song persuaded me with other things, and it was difficult for me to follow his words, but to persuade me with this matter, why did Guan regret those false names? What kind of strategy did the scholar leave behind, and he actually said that he endured humiliation and burden, as long as he didn't face to surrender to Wu, you would say that it didn't matter! ”

The reason why Guan Yu said this is because he thought that he was indeed in a desperate situation at this time, and was surrounded by Cao 'Cao' outside Xiapi City in the past, in order to protect Liu Bei's family, he had three chapters of the law with Cao 'Cao', although he said that he had surrendered to the Han Dynasty, after all, he had also broken the enemy and beheaded the enemy in the battle between Cao 'Cao' and Yuan Shao, he was afraid that Zhuge Song would not have a good strategy, but let him surrender to Wu first, hoping to redeem himself by means of foreign 'communication' in the future, which was extremely difficult for Guan Yu to accept, so he spoke first to block this road.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Liang smiled slightly, raised his right hand and made a gesture: "My family has unpredictable abilities, how can he come up with such a ridiculous and generous plan?" As he spoke, he walked towards Guan Yu: "Please get up from where you are sitting, take away the leather felt under the seat, and you will know!" ”

Guan Yu stood up suspiciously, took away the leather felt that he was sitting on before, at first glance, the brick surface of the original covered place of the felt was no different from other places, and after careful observation, he found that there was a piece of masonry and other masonry that was not sealed by clay, leaving a slight gap. I saw Zheng Liang take out a knife from his body, and slowly took out the piece of masonry along the gap with the tip, 'exposing' a round iron object. Twisting it to the right with his hand, he turned it around, and then he put the bricks and stones on it, and laid it on the felt, and said, "Please come with me!" Bian Dang walked to the courtyard first.

Everyone followed Zheng Liang to the courtyard, and saw Zheng Liang open a large warehouse on the west side of the courtyard that is usually only used for storage, and opened the 'door' to take a look, but saw that the west wall and the south wall of the house were full of sundries, only a large wooden cabinet with a width of feet was placed in front of the north wall. Zheng Liang opened the 'door' of the cabinet, and the bags in the cabinet were all the military uniforms worn by the soldiers on weekdays.

Zheng Liang casually took out the bags of these military uniforms and threw them aside, and in a moment, everyone was so shocked that their mouths grew! Before, such as Wang Fu, Zhao Lei and others saw Zheng Liang spinning the mechanism in the house, they all vaguely guessed that Zhuge Song might have laid a dark room that could hide people in advance, but they didn't expect that when Zheng Liang took the military uniform used to cover up, what was 'exposed' was a dark and deep 'hole'!

"Could it be that Zhuge Song actually ordered you to dig a tunnel that can lead to the outside of the city in advance?" Guan Yu's expression at this time was beyond consternation, the tunnel was no better than the secret room, if it could lead from here to the outside of the city, such a huge project would have to be dug by hundreds of people day and night for months. Although Zhuge Song said modestly in the letter, saying that he let Zheng Liang be here just in case, but judging by what he did, he was really sure that he would definitely fall into this place, and he needed to rely on this tunnel to get out of danger!

Zheng Liang had already prepared for Guan Yu's expression, and at this time he still calmly pointed to the wooden trough with a width of two fingers on both sides of the cabinet and said: "The fixed back baffle of the wooden cabinet has long been replaced with a movable style, and the mechanism I twisted in the house just now is to let the wooden board be retracted into the wall. Wu Bing can't use it, and it will be difficult to find out what is in this cabinet in the short term! After saying that, he took out a torch from a wooden box that had been placed on the ground on the outside of the hole, lit it with flint, and walked to the depths of the tunnel. Everyone lit torches and entered, leaving only Zhou Cang to guard the 'door' of the warehouse to prevent others from entering and leaking secrets.

Due to the limited size of the warehouse itself, everyone just thought that the depth of the tunnel was caused by the lack of light outside the 'hole', and at this time they lit the torch, but saw that the distance ahead was only a few meters, so they had to turn left, and after turning, it was a passage that was not more than a few feet wide diagonally downward.

There is nothing in the passage except for a wooden frame where torches can be placed every few zhang, just winding to the west, Guan Yu followed Zheng Liang forward for a while, then stopped and asked, "This tunnel can indeed lead directly to the outside of the city?" If so, everyone doesn't have to go anymore, now go back to the lobby to discuss the route of going out of the city and entering Shu, and then they will all go back to the department, gather people and horses, and take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to go out of the city overnight to escape the danger! ”

Unexpectedly, Zheng Liang continued to speak: "The prince is slow, this road is not a clever plan made by my family, there may be a leak above the lobby, there is a room for a temporary rest not far ahead, you can follow me into the temporary rest, listen carefully to the key to this strategy!"
