Liu Jing did not hesitate, and directly led the army towards Bishui City, and at the same time, ordered Jian Yong to send a slow horse to Cao Ying to inform Cao Cao. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Liu Jing's army came to Bishui City, he saw many horses lined up in front of the gate of Bishui City, among which in front of these horses, there were two people wearing their whole bodies, riding high-headed horses, looking majestic, as if they were waiting for something.
As soon as Jian Yong saw such a situation, he drove his horse to Liu Jing's side, and said happily: "Lord, these two generals in front of the city gate are that Zhang Bao and Zhang Long, you see that they don't have weapons in their hands, obviously, they are welcoming the arrival of the lord!" ”
Liu Jing nodded with satisfaction, and his heart was also very happy, so he immediately said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Yun Chang, Yide, this is our friendly army, don't make too much trouble for a while, all those who surrender to us sincerely, we must treat them well and be cautious!" ”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hugged their fists together and said, "Listen to my brother's instructions!" ”
Liu Jing stopped the three armies, rode forward alone, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong behind him immediately hurried to follow, while Zhang Yan stayed where he was, standing in front of the army, paying close attention to the movement at the city gate.
Zhang Bao and Zhang Long were riding on horseback, and they had been waiting for a long time, because they had already sent someone to Liu Jing's army to deliver the message, and they had received the news from Jian Yong's people in time, knowing that Liu Jing was going to be stationed, they counted the time and came to the city gate early to wait for Liu Jing's arrival.
Liu Jing rode the reddish-brown sweat and blood horse, tied his hair and crown, dressed brightly, very dignified, followed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two tiger generals, on one side, followed by Jian Yong, very majestic, Zhang Bao and Zhang Long saw Liu Jing slowly approaching, immediately turned over and dismounted, and walked to Liu Jing together, half-kneeling and bowing to the head: "The last generals, Zhang Bao and Zhang Long, lead the five thousand soldiers of Bishui to meet the lord!" ”
Following Zhang Bao and Zhang Long, there were also two neat columns of sergeants behind him, who also bowed to Liu Jing in unison, and shouted in unison: "Meet the lord!" ”
Liu Jing was very satisfied and very happy, so he immediately turned over and dismounted, came to Zhang Bao and Zhang Long, stretched out his hands, helped the two up, and said cordially: "The two generals have worked hard and made great contributions to the people of Bishui City, so that they have been spared the suffering of war, this is a great achievement, and it is also a great kindness!" ”
Zhang Long immediately bowed his hand and replied: "The lord's mansion is kind-hearted, caring for the soldiers, and caring for the people, which is the blessing of our soldiers and the blessing of the people of the whole city of Bishui City, welcome the lord into the city!" ”
Zhang Bao also immediately echoed: "Our two brothers, have long admired the prestige of the lord, has always been eager to see, today I am fortunate to know the true face, this is the honor of three lives, in the future we are willing to follow the lord saddle before and after, galloping the field, in the end!" ”
Liu Jing waved his hand again and again, and said happily: "Okay! Good! Get up, since the two of you have attached to my Liu Jiajun, we are also a family, the family doesn't talk about it, let's go into the city and talk about it! ”
It is said that Cao Cao has been busy with grain and grass for the past two days, but early in the morning, he heard that someone from Liu Jing came to report the news, saying that there was great good news to tell him, so Cao Cao immediately summoned the person who delivered the letter to his account.
The sergeant of Liu Jing bowed when he saw Cao Cao's head, and saluted: "Gong Cao, my lord has specially ordered the villain to come and spread the word, Bishui City has been broken by our army, Li Zhiran has fled, Li Zhiran's generals Zhang Bao and Zhang Long have all surrendered, and Bishui City is now our coalition army!" ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "Good! Good! It's really good, I've been looking at how to break through the water for the past two days, but I didn't think about it, but Xuan Degong took the water down quietly, which is really good news! ”
The soldier delivered the news, and when he saw Cao Cao so happy, he was afraid that Cao Cao would ask for details, so he directly retreated: "The news has been delivered, and the villain should go back to his life!" ”
Cao ** Lang said: "Okay, you go back, tell Xuande Gong, I will go to Bishui City to meet him later!" ”
The soldier bowed and said respectfully, "Yes!" ”
Led the soldier to the door of the tent, Cao Hong suddenly stretched out his right hand, stopped the little soldier, and suddenly asked sharply: "In just one day, how did Liu Xuande break through the water?" The water city is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to conquer for a while, is it possible for him to have the help of gods and men? ”
When the soldier heard Cao Hong's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately clasped his hands and replied: "I'm just a messenger, I don't have the right to participate in the major military affairs, of course I won't know, if you want to know, you can investigate it yourself, or ask my lord directly!" ”
As soon as Cao Cao saw that Cao Hong intended to make things difficult for this little soldier, he smiled and said casually: "Why is Zilian like this? Bishui City is our henchman, no matter what method is used, as long as it can be breached, this is a happy event, and when I meet Xuande Gong, he will naturally show off with me! Okay, why bother with a creep? Let the family go! ”
Cao Hong listened to Cao Cao's words, glanced at the little soldier, and then slowly put down his right hand, and when the little soldier walked away, he hugged his hand and asked: "Big brother, this is a God-given opportunity, we can take advantage of this opportunity to take down the water and obtain all the grain and grass in the city, and at that time, we will have enough grain and grass to support us to continue to move westward. ”
Cao Cao couldn't help frowning when he heard Cao Hong's plan, and after he said a surprising 'um', he scolded Cao Hong: "Why did Zilian make this decision? Let me and Xuande Gong kill each other? Can't neither I nor him occupy the city be the same?
For the sake of some food and grass in the city, let me be a sinner for the ages? It's a shame that you came up with this idea, you want to trap me in the great injustice of injustice, I and Xuande are brothers and sisters, he is not afraid of danger, save us from fire and water.
Besides, together with us, he defeated Li Zhiran's army of 20,000, Xuande Gong is our close comrade-in-arms, a friend not an enemy, how could I do such an extremely inhumane thing, you don't want to mention anything that is not good for me and Xuande Gong! ”
Cao Ren also felt that this matter was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he took advantage of Cao Hong's provocation to start the conversation and said to Cao Cao: "Big brother, the key to the westward expedition is Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, now let's attack Bishui with Liu Xuande, and Sun Wentai and Yuan Highway will attack Tiger Prison, whoever breaks the city first, who may reach Luoyang first."
Sun Wentai and Yuan Highway are originally in a gang, they all belong to Yuan Benchu's party, and now the Tiger Prison Pass is guarded by Guo Yan, and there is Zhang Ji to help him, and it is difficult to break through for a while, so we don't have to worry too much about it for the time being.
And this water pass in our efforts, finally breached, this is an opportunity, whoever arrives in Luoyang first, captures and kills Dong thief, who is the biggest hero, who will get the emperor's favor, this is a great opportunity to win the Central Plains, big brother! We've got to get it right! (To be continued.) )
