Chapter 30: Rushing to the aid of Wanzhou
Shu State Elementary School, in fact, it will not take more than four days from CD to Tongzhou, even if it is a large army of soldiers and horses, it will definitely arrive at the specified time. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, especially the 2,000 loyal martyrs led by Meng Xuanjue, are all cavalry, needless to say, the speed.
By the third day, Meng Xuanjue was already far away from Tongzhou, and at this time, the scouts who had been sent out to Wanzhou also came back in a hurry.
Meng Xuanjue was eating, the same as what ordinary soldiers eat, coarse and hard dry food, it was difficult for people to swallow, but Meng Xuanjue ate a mouthful of dry food, and then drank a big sip of water, so he forcibly swallowed it. Hearing that Wanzhou's Tanma had returned, Meng Xuanjue hurried over.
The scouts who went to Wanzhou this time were also Jinyiwei's people, because ordinary scouts couldn't get close to Wanzhou at all, and only an elite like Jinyiwei could get the information he wanted.
"The last general, Jinyi Wei, Lu Chun, a hundred households, see the metropolitan governor." It was an ordinary man who came to him, seeing that his face was vicissitudes and his skin was chapped, if it weren't for the fact that he had Meng Xuanjue's token, no one would know who he was.
At this time, these generals were surprised to know that Meng Xuanjue had a mysterious Jinyiwei, and although Meng Xuanjue had the intention to hide it for some time, Sun Yu's rebellion had to push Jinyiwei to the front in advance.
"Your Royal Highness, the city of Wanzhou is the army of Yang Shifan, the vanguard general of the Wuping Army, and Zhou Xingfeng is not a hundred thousand troops, but 150,000, and the vanguard of Yang Shifan alone has 60,000 people, as well as the 90,000 army of Zhou Xingfeng, in fact, Zhou Xingfeng has made a detour to Zhongzhou and secretly attacked Quzhou, and Yang Shifan, who stayed in Wanzhou, is just used to confuse our army, and furthermore, Yang Ye, the chief soldier of Long'an Mansion, has sent 50,000 troops, led by Yang Ye himself, and did his best to attack Sun Yu in Long'an, And General Yang is ready to lead 10,000 cavalry to support His Highness. ”
"How do you know that?" The commander of the Zhongwu Army asked Xu Hui in surprise.
"Hehe, my brothers on the front line of Wanzhou and Kuizhou went deep into the city to get it, and for this, more than 20 brothers have been killed, so they can get the real goal of Zhou Xingfeng's army." After Lu Chun finished speaking, a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
"Lu Baihu has worked hard." When Xu Hui heard this, his face was solemn.
"Haha, the villain is just a wanderer who walks the street to ask for food, fortunately, Commander Yang trusts him, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appreciates it, so he has his current status, where is there a hard work."
"Okay, Lu Chun will go down and rest first." When Meng Xuanjue heard this, his face was unusually solemn.
At this moment, it was the time to test Meng Xuanjue, whether to save Wanzhou or go to Quzhou to intercept Zhou Xingfeng, which made him hesitate.
"Report ... Report... Wanzhou Wanwan. At this moment, another messenger rushed over, this person was not Jinyiwei, but the garrison of Wanzhou.
"Your Royal Highness, Wanzhou has been besieged for five days, although there are less than 10,000 defenders in the city, but General Shi Lao led the people of the whole city to go up to the city wall, and the bows and arrows are gone, so they demolished the house and smashed it with bricks, and burned it with door panels, but in the five days that Wanzhou has held on, although more than 5,000 enemies have been killed, but our people are less than 6,000 people, and most of them are injured."
The messenger said so much in one breath, a little out of breath, Meng Xuanjue personally took out the water bag, fed him to drink, and waited for him to calm down, then said: "General Shi's legs have been injured, but he asked people to tie him to the banner of Shu at the head of the city, so that the people of the whole army and the whole city can see it, know that he is with them, know that he is still fighting with them, and resist Yang Shifan's attack, but Wanzhou is already in a hurry, Your Highness." ”
The messenger said at the end, and began to weep bitterly.
Meng Xuanjue asked people to take him down to rest, and then slammed the water bag on the ground.
"Where are Yang Ye's people?"
One of the guards said, "Your Highness, Yang Ye's 10,000 cavalry is almost in Kaizhou. ”
"Kaizhou, it's very close to Wanzhou," Meng Xuanjue's eyes were cold, and he ordered: "So that Yang Ye doesn't have to come to Tongzhou, go straight to Wanzhou for reinforcements, and go alone to intercept Zhou Xingfeng." ”
"No, Your Highness." At this moment, Xu Hui stopped: "Your Highness, Wanzhou is just a bait, if you go to save Wanzhou, then if Zhou Xingfeng's army breaks through Quzhou, then it will go straight to the capital, the 10,000 cavalry of General Yang is our strongest combat power, if there is no Yang Ye's cavalry, how can we resist Zhou Xingfeng." ”
Meng Xuanjue didn't know that he was telling the truth, but he had to save Wanzhou, if he didn't save it, what did the people think, what did the generals under his command think, the old general Shiqi was loyal and righteous, and he would not retreat from the battle, if he didn't, how could he be worthy of the military and people of Wanzhou, and how he would command the army of Shu in the future, so Zhou Xingfeng gave himself a dilemma, save, then he may not be able to keep the capital, no, then he will lose the hearts of the people and the army.
"I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade you, wait for the Wu Dejun and Wu Xin Army to arrive, and go straight to Quzhou." Meng Xuanjue snorted coldly and said firmly.
"The governor of the capital is high, and the last general is willing to be a pawn of the horse, driven by the governor of the capital." After speaking, the generals came out.
。。。。。。。。。
On Wanzhou City, as soon as the sky was bright, I heard a shout from under Wanzhou City, and the Wuping army was all over the field, and they attacked together.
"Yang Shifan is going to attack again, old general Shimoi, you better go back to the palace." Luo Huan, the judge of Kuizhou, said that he fled from Kuizhou to Wanzhou, and how could he not admire such a loyal and brave general.
"No, I can't go down, I want the soldiers to see that I'm with them, you don't have to worry, I've understood these days, they are a feint, they are luring the Dadu Governor's soldiers and horses to come, although I don't know what their purpose is, but I know that they want to capture Wanzhou, they have already taken it, you just let the soldiers defend well."
"Yes, but even if Yang Shifan is just doing it, I'm afraid we won't be able to last much time." Luo Huan showed a trace of worry on his face, and said: "The other party's strength is so strong, I don't know if the Metropolitan Governor can defeat it, if it can't be defeated, my Shu Kingdom is in danger." ”
"The Metropolitan Governor is the guardian of my Shu Kingdom, and he is a god-like existence, since he raised 70,000 troops, plus Yang Ye's 50,000, and more than 100,000 soldiers, he must also have the certainty of coping, Lord Luo, you and I just need to be loyal to our duties, it's a big deal, it's just a knife together, it's not a big deal."
"Words can't be like this, you and I eat the king's luck, when the matter of loyalty to the king, most of the governors are not in Wanzhou, I don't know the situation in Wanzhou, on the battlefield, the situation is unpredictable, I should hold up more time for His Highness."
"You and I are not the Grand Duke, how do we know what the Grand Governor thinks?" Shi Mo smiled: "Don't think about it so much, you and I can only do our best to defend Wanzhou." ”
