Chapter 483: Plotting to Pacify Jiangdong (12)

Jiang Qin is trustworthy and strategic, and Zhou Tai is loyal and brave and perceptible, and neither of them is a person who is easily provoked, otherwise he would not be valued by Sun Quan in history and become a pivotal general in the later period of Eastern Wu. But right now, the two seem to be in a mess. In a vain attempt to use less than 1,000 soldiers to defend the city, go out of the city to fight hard with Cao Xing's 5,000 Qingzhou soldiers, this move, in addition to Lu Su, who did not stop the two, even the soldiers under the command of the two were hesitant when carrying out the military order.

The prestige of Lu Bu's army for being good at fighting has been known to the world along with the famous name of the flying general Lu Bu. In addition, there is a legend that the one who led the troops to attack Jiangdong this time was the same age as his own lord, but he had made half of the generals in the Tiger Prison Pass suffocate the current Xuzhou Thorn History, Lu Bu's son-in-law Qin Xu.

Those people are ruthless. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Kong Rong, Gongsun Zhan, etc., were once famous in the world. But I don't know why, after meeting this Qin envoy, he seems to be powerful and has nowhere to go, either he was forced to lose face, or he ended up with a dead karma, even his own lord Sun Ce, was not forced to shrink in Yuzhang County, which is enough to see the lethality of the evil star.

And now, this evil star was provoked by the lord Sun Ce, first ignoring the four lines of defense that his own forces had painstakingly laid out, breaking through Xiao Pass with one blow, and winning Danyang without a fight, and in the case of his own army's absolute advantage, it was actually less than 30,000 tired soldiers from afar, so he was stunned and scared his army to retreat, and won the Fuguan that was within easy reach of his own army. And now, this evil star has been borrowed to the territory controlled by Shanyue. It was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, appearing outside the county town of Wangu, where the comparison between the two soldiers reached a terrifying thirty to one, so far Qin Xu's intentions. It's already well known.

Yu Zhang! Qin Xu's goal is in Yuzhang. Even ordinary soldiers could see Qin Xu's ultimate purpose, and no one believed that Zhou Yu, who was guarding Yuzhang at the moment, and Sun Ce, who was leading the troops, would not know. Now the small city of Wangu is besieged, and Yu Zhang still hasn't said even a little news about the coming reinforcements. Although he heard the news that his lord led his troops to advance to the north before, he couldn't quench his thirst from far away, and God knows how many miles Sun Ce chased Yan's rout out under his anger, and moreover. Even if it is the head of his own family, Sun Ce, who will come back, unless he has another good strategy with the military division Zhou Yu. With the current strength of the Sun family's army, there are only about 20,000 troops in the whole army, and even if they meet head-on, it is estimated that there is not much chance of victory.

The huge contrast in strength, and the current dilemma of being surrounded by regiments. Make this kind of thought spread. At an extraordinary speed, if you continue to persist like this, let alone sit on guard and wait for help, it is a big problem to maintain the morale of the soldiers. In fact, it is also to blame Qin Xu for not giving clear instructions before, so that Cao Xing made a mistake and directly led 5,000 elite soldiers and more than 10,000 Chinese troops who arrived in advance, and did not besiege Sanqueyi. In order to encircle the point and send reinforcements, but to see that there are few soldiers in the city. directly surrounded the entire Wangu County.

Therefore, although Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's behavior seems a bit reckless, and they are suspected of hitting stones with eggs, it is indeed the most correct way to survive in a dangerous situation at this moment and fight for a glimmer of life. After all, there is no such thing as a "fierce general" in Qin Xu's army, and there is already a well-known phenomenon in Jiangdong. In the tacit understanding of the two, although Cao Xing's archery skills are good, as long as they can get close, the two are still sure to take it down with Zhou Tai's force. In this way, at least the army has some scruples, and maybe it can buy some time for the arrival of the distant Yuzhang Zhou Yu or Sun Ce reinforcements.

"Are these two Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai?" Qin Xu saw the two big men in armor coming out of the city, and asked Sima Mao beside him.

When the two of them slowly walked out of the city of Wangu County with dozens of horses, just behind Cao Xing's army array, Qin Xu had already come here, and it was only because of the high mountains and dense forests on the left that people did not immediately notice that the strength of the besieging city at this moment was more than doubled. This should not have happened on the battlefield. In the Central Plains, almost anyone who has served as a soldier for a few days knows that there must not be a large area of woods near the city, otherwise it is very likely to become a source of materials for the enemy to make siege equipment. But the county seat of Wangu is too inconspicuous, and only to temporarily resist the Shanyue thieves to rob the grain to build the city here, before just a wooden walled city can make the Shanyue barbarians a headache, since the replacement of the stone city wall, it is even more to make the Shanyue barbarians sigh, in the face of the low city wall that is no more than two feet high. This situation also made the defenders in the county at this moment never expect that one day, there would be elite soldiers from the Central Plains to attack such a small county town. Not to mention the troublesome matter of clearing the mountains and forests more than ten miles outside the city.

"It's supposed to be these two." Sima Mao carefully glanced at Jiang Qin Zhoutai, who was calling for battle in front of the city, nodded and said: "If you can dare to go out of the city to fight when you are surrounded by all the soldiers of our army, if it is not for the fact that these two people must have a great dependence, then they must have other intentions in their hearts." ”

"It's not just that it is rumored that the generals of our army were all taken away by the lord, and we came in a hurry, and there was no trouble in the army! Presumably, these two people were also forced to have nothing to do, so they had this risky move! Qin Xu pursed his lips and said with a smile: "But it's okay to do this, and it will take a lot of effort to find a way to transfer these two people out of the city." Let's go and inform General Dian, the 'sale' is coming! ”

"No!" Sima took the order to go, but Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai in front had already begun to call for battle. Although it is said that the etiquette and music have collapsed in recent years, the people's hearts are not ancient, the monarch is not the king, the minister is not the minister, and it is even said that the Three Kingdoms is an unrighteous war, which has become a mess, but I have to say that some conventional rules are very strange and stubbornly adhered to by the world, and sometimes it is even more incomprehensible. For example, as now, if there is someone on the other side in front of the two armies, it will inevitably restrain the soldiers from releasing cold arrows to attack and kill before they have yet to respond to the battle or refuse, otherwise the blow to the morale of the army will be quite large. And even if he wins, he is often even looked down upon by his own generals. Therefore, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, there is no record of the two armies being shot and killed by those who were going to fight in the future before the war began. Therefore, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai could swagger out of the city to the front of the two armies. And before the war, there was no danger to life.

"Vulna's enemy! I see that your archery skills are good, do you have the courage to compete with your Zhou grandfather to test weapons? Zhou Tai took the lead, and Jiang Qin was escorted by more than ten horsemen. There was not the slightest fear in front of the two armies with an extremely disparity in strength, and he held the nine-ring broadsword in his hand, pointed at Cao Xing, who was standing in front of the formation, and asked.

"It's shameless to come, just now a certain family has let go of a horse, but he is still so arrogant, and he doesn't get famous quickly!" From the corner of Cao Xing's eyes, he saw Dian Wei in an ordinary lieutenant armor in the military formation on the right. He was ordered to hurry to this side, and his heart was settled, and he slowly hung the giant bow in his hand diagonally behind him. He laughed, crossed his arms on his horse, and said.

"A certain Jiujiang Zhou Tai is also! Who are you? Why do you offend my state and county for no reason? Listening to Cao Xing's words, the three shots just now hit him, but he didn't expect it to be the arrows that broke the arrow. Zhou Tai's face full of scars was inevitably stagnant. took a deep breath, shook off all the doubts for the time being, and said in a deep voice with a big knife in his hand.

"Snort...... Counties? Still for no reason? Seeing that Dian Wei was about to arrive in front of the battle, Cao Xing had the heart to kill time, and said with a sneer: "Aren't you deaf as a brute?" Didn't you hear the text clearly? Not to mention that your small city is also worthy of being called a state and county, this Yuzhang is too guarded by Sun Ce to take advantage of the fact that my lord General Lu was ordered to send troops to Hebei to mediate the war of the Yuan family, and raise troops in vain. Intended to rebel against its chief officer, Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan, and committed rebellion. Poison Prefecture County, my General Qin was ordered to rebel, why can it be called for no reason? ”

"Phew! Even if General Sun has the intention to plot the land of Yangzhou, it is to fulfill the duty of a Jiangdong person, right or wrong, and there should be a great Han emperor to make a conclusion. Don't deceive me, you don't know, your lord Lu Bu is for Qingzhou Mu, and your so-called General Qin is for Xuzhou Mu, is it possible that you and others are trying to get involved in Yangzhou, isn't it a crime? Zhou Tai glanced at Jiang Qin, signaling that if the battle started in a real way, for the sake of insurance, if he couldn't capture Cao Xing as a hostage, it would be best for Jiang Qin to take the opportunity to make a move with a bow and arrow, and it would be better to make a "double insurance", while reprimanding Cao Xing's previous words.

"Hah! Ignorant children! No wonder he was deceived by that Sun Ce thief. I have just said in our army's article that my Qin general is Xu, because of his rescue work, he was personally named the Marquis of Wuting and the general of Zhengdong by the Son of Heaven! Govern the four states of Qingxu, Yuyang! There is also a letter from Yangzhou Mu Liu Zhengli asking for help, how can he not control Sun Ce's thief's reversal? It's ridiculous that you, a small colonel guarding the city, don't know what to do, and you dare to make a big statement and slander the righteous actions of our volunteers, which is ridiculous. People like you, whether they are official rank or military status, are not worthy of fighting with a certain person at all, the captain, this person will be handed over to you, and teach a good lesson to a certain family This frog at the bottom of the well who does not know the height of the sky! "Looking at Zhou Tai's extremely majestic physique, as well as the nine-ring broadsword in his hand that looks like it is worth dozens of catties, Cao Xuan is still self-aware, knowing that he may not be able to pass the ten moves in his hands at all, but as the commander of an army, since the other party has called for a battle, if there is no response, it will be extremely inappropriate, and it will also be a great blow to the morale of the soldiers. Fortunately, seeing that Dian Wei had quietly taken place, Cao Xing was able to breathe a sigh of relief, with this powerful power comparable to Lu Bu, Cao Xing's confidence in his heart was also sufficient, and he happily taught Zhou Tai a lesson that he was addicted to his mouth, and he pushed all the troubles on Dian Wei's head.

"Huh?" Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were originally born as thieves, although they knew that there was a Lu Bu in the Central Plains who was known as the world's first fierce general was very powerful, and since Lu Bu's army set foot in Jiangdong, he also knew more about the generals in his army, but no matter how detailed it was, it is estimated that he would not have noticed that because of Song Xian's death, he was appointed as the commander of the personal guard battalion by Lu Buti for less than a month. Now Zhou Tai thinks about it the most, but he still secretly calls Cao Xing's cunning, so that the strategy he planned with Jiang Qin before is about to "go bankrupt". Therefore, after Cao Xing's order, Zhou Tai frowned slightly and glanced back at Jiang Qin, who also had an unnatural complexion, as if he wanted to find a solution with Jiang Qin.

"Huh! Do you want to fight with a certain family and take the opportunity to capture it in exchange for a glimmer of life in Wangu County? "Cao Xing, who can become one of the eight strong generals around Lu Bu in history, is not a fool, and Zhou Tai's intentions just now are indeed too obvious, and he can't hide it from the eyes of people with a heart at all. However, Cao Xuan did not show the slightest sense of annoyance, but chuckled, pointed to Dian Wei, who had already pulled out the double iron halberd and held it in his hand, and said: "I also said in the text just now, General Qin saw that you were just coerced by that Sun Ce, and had no choice but to follow the thief to resist the imperial court, all of which are quite lenient. In this way, so-and-so also has fun, let's make a bet, if one of the two of you can win the flag-holding captain in a certain army, then a certain family simply shows his face and begs my general Qin, how about letting everyone in Wangu County have a way to live? ”

"Huh?" Whether it was Zhou Tai or Jiang Qin, they saw that Cao Xing was not hooked, and they already had the heart to die to repay Sun Ce, but they suddenly heard what Cao Xing said, and their hearts suddenly burst out, and they didn't understand why Cao Xing, who had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength and military morale, suddenly had such words. When they looked at the majestic and burly Dian Wei, the two of them had some understanding in their hearts, and at the same time, they also had a bit of surprise.

Although it is said that physical strength is not lost, but this is only applicable to ordinary people, and for military generals, it is not a problem at all. And when the two of them saw that Dian Wei was just dressed as a low-level captain, they first had contempt in their hearts, and a smile involuntarily appeared on their faces.

"So what if one of us loses? Is it possible that you have done the Lord? In the end, it was Jiang Qin who was the most calm, and looked up and down a few times, but Dian Wei, who had a more vicious face, also used some tricks in his questioning of Cao Xing.

"You are a small city of ten thousand valleys, I can take it in an instant, the reason why I play with you is just to comfort the army's heart, just to have fun, win and rejoice, defeat is also happy, is it difficult to spend so much effort to play you? A certain family just said that as long as you wait for one person to win, let you wait for the soldiers of Wangu County to leave safely, and there will be no broken promise. Cao Xing saw that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were taking the bait step by step according to Qin Xu's previous arrangement, and his face became more and more full of "sincerity" smiles, and said: "Of course, since it is a gambling war, it is naturally impossible not to let you shine." In this way, my General Qin has been in a hurry to go out recently, and there are not many guards around him, if you both lose, how about going to guard General Qin for three months? Rest assured, it's only three months, and when the time comes, you have to leave and stay, listen to it! At this point, a certain family can promise the two of them for General Qin. I just don't know, you have the guts! ”

"This ......" To be honest, if this is true, then to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, it really seems to be a move to have fun, and it is completely incompatible with the solemn atmosphere in front of him. But seeing that Cao Xing said solemnly, and the conditions seemed to be extremely favorable to the two of them, the crisis in Wangu County behind them and the delayed reinforcements made the two of them under the pressure of their moods, and they didn't see through the true intentions of Cao Xing's words at all, and glanced at each other, the matter has come to this, whether it is Zhou Tai or Jiang Qin, although the two are cautious, they still can't detect that Cao Xing will have any other intentions for the two who are now approaching strangers, so they nodded at the moment, and said to Cao Xing in a deep voice: "I have heard for a long time that General Qin of your army is the most trustworthy. I believe that Your Excellency will not speak lightly of insulting things, so be it! ”

"Wu Na black guy, Jiujiang Zhou Tai came to receive the teaching!" The matter has been agreed, Zhou Tai forced himself to have no worries, seeing that Dian Wei had never ridden a horse, Zhou Tai did not want to take advantage of this, and there were many waterways in Jiangdong, Zhou Tai, the general of the water army, it was indeed difficult to exert his strength on the war horse, so he simply sold a good one, and also abandoned the horse and the sword, and rushed to Dian Wei, who seemed to be scared stupidly in the field, and used all his strength to slash towards Dian Wei, who was blank, and saw that the knife was rushing straight down, and he was getting closer and closer to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei was holding an iron halberd in his hand, as if he had not reacted at all, The victory smile on Zhou Tai's face became deeper and deeper.

"Huh?!" The deeper and deeper smile on Zhou Tai's face was still on his face, and his body was getting closer and closer to Dian Wei, and he could almost see Dian Wei's ugly face that was unsightly, with a hint of pity. Wait a minute! Commiseration? Zhou Tai is also an extremely good martial artist, so he naturally has the intuition of a martial artist, and he felt that something was wrong in his heart for a moment. It's a pity that it's too late for Zhou Tai to react.

"Bang!" A shrill sound of gold and iron had just sounded, and a figure flew out upside down...... (To be continued......)
