Chapter 221: Entering Xuchang Pang Tong in disguise, leading the team towards Zhou Cang, the son of heaven
Chapter 221 entered Xuchang Pang Tong in disguise, and led the team by Zhou Cang, the son of heaven
In the spring of the seventh year of Jian'an, the days of peace in the world had just passed.
The people of Yanzhou seem to be living a good life, the seeds planted in spring have been taken out of the granary of the government, all sown, and it coincides with the spring rains, which seems to be a good omen of a good harvest.
Since the emperor's uncle Liu Bei and Liu Xuande sent a new adult, Chen Liu's territory seems to have changed!
Those idle guys seem to have disappeared overnight!
I heard that they all went to the courtyard in the east of the city, which was surrounded by a high courtyard. It is said that there is food and shelter, and there is money to be taken. It's just quite hard.
The people didn't know what was inside the courtyard wall, because there were always soldiers guarding outside! And none of the soldiers who retired from the army would say anything about it......
One day in May, there was a sound of horses' hooves on ......the avenue.
The weeding people looked up at the avenue.
A group of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses galloped by, in front of the team were more than 100 horsemen on horseback, and the soldiers behind were some infantry.
"Why is there another war?" The common people are not afraid of anything else, they are afraid of war, and it is easy to hope for peace, if there is another fight, won't it be a hardship for these people?!
An older farmer said, "Don't talk nonsense! Chen Liucheng has General Wei Yan garrisoned, even if he fights, he will be fine! However, I heard from the neighbor's son that the traitorous Cao Cao couldn't see the peace in the world, so he actually summoned the princes and adults to send troops to Xu Tian outside Xuchang City to participate in some martial arts conference! ”
"Uncle Han, you're still well-informed! What is a martial arts conference? An old farmer in the nearby farmland also seemed to be very gossipy, threw his head out, and came over to ask.
"This is a martial arts conference! It is to let the major states and counties send elite warriors to participate in the competition, and it is said that there are high rewards! ……”
……
To be honest, these people are all false, but there are still some clues to be heard from their words.
That team of soldiers and horses was the team that Pang Tong led to participate in the competition.
The configuration of this team is composed of two teams of cavalry, four teams of broadsword and shield soldiers, and four teams of spearmen.
The cavalry is a pure spear light cavalry, covered in gold-inlaid light armor, and carrying a spear in the palm of the hand, but they are equipped with bows and arrows.
Four teams of broadsword and shield soldiers, wearing masks and helmets, dressed in half-body armor, holding a half-human-high iron shield in their left hand and an eight-foot long knife in their right hand.
The four captains of spearmen, the armor on their bodies is the same as that of the broadsword and shield soldiers, but they only hold two spears in their hands.
In front of them were five people wearing iron helmets and iron armor, none other than Zhou Cang, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Sun Guan and Wu Anguo.
The first three are holding long knives, the one in the middle with a full beard is Zhou Cang, the one on the left is Wu Dun, and the one on the right hand is Sun Guan/
The latter two, Yin Li is holding a long lance on the left, and Wu Anguo is holding a long-handled hammer in one hand on the right.
At this time, someone is going to ask, where did Pang Tong go?
Pang Tong!
He is now mixed in with the soldiers.
It turned out that in order to create an illusion for Cao Cao, an illusion that Liu Bei didn't pay attention to at all, he hid. He asked Zhou Cang to be the main commander of the team this time, but he hid among the soldiers and hid in the shadows.
If it weren't for his Yuan Cao's scheming in the first battle to help Zhang Fei capture the cities of Runan, where would these generals let him fiddle like this? It was precisely because of the prestige that the generals were willing to obey that he dared to be so bold and venture to Xuchang.
In order to better hide himself, he asked the soldiers to wear masks and helmets.
If it weren't for them holding high the banner of the general of the chariot cavalry, the Cao army guards of Daliang Pass between Chen Liucheng and Xuchang would probably have lined up accordingly! Rao is like this, and the Liang guard was also startled by Mao Jie.
After asking, Mao Jie secretly said in his heart: "Grandma, what's going on?" It's as if they don't dare to see anyone! After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Hey! Since you are sent by the general of the chariot cavalry, can you have an order? ”
Zhou Cang replied coldly: "The prime minister of your family wants my family master to send people to participate in the martial arts conference, do you know if you are waiting?" ”
"Quickly bring the general order, don't be verbose!" Mao Jie's appearance is that you will take the order if you have it, not Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang cursed secretly in his heart, and at the same time took out Liu Bei's general order and asked the soldiers to send it up.
Mao Jie opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned!
Why is there no Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? Not even Yan Liang and Wen Chou?
The lord asked me to pay attention to them, why are these people so few, this will make it so clear?! Zhou Cang, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Sun Guan, Wu Anguo?
These people?
I've heard of this week. It is said that he once fought with Yuan Rang, and he was very bloodthirsty, brave and desperate!
Wu Dun, Yin Li, Sun Guan, Taishan Six Kou of Taishan Three Heroes!
However, this Wu Anguo, it is said that he fought with Wenhou Lu Bu, and he was wounded and retreated, but he is also a hero!
Although the people sent by Liu Bei do not have super generals, they are not mediocre hands!
"Since it's the team participating in the meeting, you can enter the customs!" Mao Jie said, so he asked people to open the pass and let them enter the customs.
Entering the pass with the soldiers and horses, Zhou Cang turned back to Mao Jie and said, "Since you have finished reading the general order, please return it quickly!" ”
Mao Jie looked at Zhou Cang, then handed the general order to the guard, and said, "Send it to him." ”
The guard took the general order, trotted over, and handed it to Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang put away the general order, and led everyone towards Xuchang without looking back.
Seeing them leaving, Mao Jie immediately sent someone to inform Cao Cao.
After receiving Mao Jie's letter, Cao Cao was also a little hesitant.
Xun Yu asked beside him, "Prime Minister, why is this so?" ”
"Liu Xuande actually sent five reckless men to participate in the competition!" Cao Cao's eyes stared at Mao Jie's letter, and he frowned and said, "Did he find something?" Why didn't Guan Zhang Yanwen be dispatched, and even Huang Hua and Zhao Chen Gao were not dispatched? It's just that he sent out such five guys who can be called reckless, what the hell does he want to do? ”
"On the prime minister's territory, no matter what he wants to do, he must get the prime minister's approval, otherwise he can be killed!" Dian Wei said on the side.
"How can Liu Xuande's subordinates be killed easily? Even if we kill him, we can't let him die at our hands! Cheng Yu said.
"What Zhong De said is true! Ziman, do you remember that time? "Cao Cao loves Dian Wei very much, so he still protects him.
When Dian Wei saw Cao Cao say this, he immediately lowered his head and stood aside.
Xun Yu offered Cao Cao another advice: "Since Liu Xuande sent them here, there must be his intentions." Why didn't the lord ask the Son of Heaven to summon them to see what was true and false?! ”
That's a great idea!
Cao Cao nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way." Wen Ruo and Zhongde, follow me into the palace to face the saint. ”
……
Besides, Pang Tong, Zhou Cang and others came to the outside of Xuchang City, and someone sent by Cao Cao had already led them to the outside of Xutian's hunting ground and designated the location of their camp.
After looking around, there were already a few camps, and Pang Tong signaled Zhou Cang to command the soldiers to set up camp.
After commanding the soldiers to set up camp, Zhou Cang personally erected a big flagpole in the center of the camp and hung up the big flag of the general of the chariot cavalry, Liu.
While they were in full swing, Taijian in the palace came to the camp with a few guards: "Which of you is the principal sent by the general of the chariot cavalry?" ”
Zhou Cang looked at Pang Tong, who was dressed as a soldier on the side, and got Pang Tong's signal, so he stood up and gave a deep salute to the visitor: "Zhou Cang, under the command of the general of the chariot, has seen his father-in-law." ”
Seeing that Zhou Cang was covered in mud, Taijian pinched his nose and said, "How did you buy cakes?" It's so dirty! Hurry up and change your clothes, and enter the palace with our family! ”
"No!" Zhou Cang hurriedly took Pang Tong into the camp tent.
In the camp tent, Zhou Cang changed his clothes on one side and asked Pang Tong for advice on the other.
Finally, under Pang Tong's repeated instructions, Zhou Cang changed his clothes and came to see Na Taijian.
Taijian was already impatient to wait, and when he saw Zhou Cang coming out, he didn't speak, and left with people.
Although it is not the first time to see Emperor Han Xian, this is the first time to face the saint at such a close distance!
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"No rudeness!"
"Thank you, Lord Longne!"
"Zhou Cang, why hasn't the general arrived?" Emperor Xian asked.
Zhou Cang hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the general of the chariot cavalry has worked hard day and night, and he has become ill and sick, and he is inconvenient to move!" Therefore, the last general is sent! ”
"The general of the Che Cavalry is sick, why don't you send Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide here?" Cao Cao asked sharply.
It seemed that he knew that Cao Cao had this question, and Zhou Cang immediately shot back: "Who is in the prime minister's army who is the opponent of General Guan and General Zhang?" Could it be that the prime minister doesn't want to capture the leader? However, the two generals Guan and Zhang are not Lu Bu, and they are already very capable of being enemies! ”
Cao Cao never expected that this reckless man would be able to speak such sharp words, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while!
Seeing this, Xun Yu asked, "Didn't General Zhou think that he could represent the general of the chariot?" ”
Listening to him ask, Zhou Cang had to admire Pang Tong, why is this ugly guy so powerful? It's not even bad to speak in order!
While secretly praising this ugly ghost Pang Tong, he replied: "Can the gentleman represent the prime minister?" ”
"You?" Xun Yu was choked by a guy who called him a reckless man for the first time, which was really uncomfortable!
Zhou Cang also knew that he would accept it when he saw it, and hurriedly said to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, the general of the Che Cavalry asked the subordinate to give a message." The general said: I am sick, I can't go to Xuchang to face the saint, and I hope that Your Majesty Haihan! ”
Emperor Han Xian said worriedly: "'Zhou Aiqing, can Uncle Huang's condition be controlled?' In the coming day, I sent the imperial doctor to Xuzhou to diagnose the emperor's uncle! Go! ”
"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Zhou Cang got the permission of the Son of Heaven, resigned from the Son of Heaven, and left the palace.
Touching the ashes, Cao Cao was a little unwilling, and asked Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, when did Zhou Cang become so good at arguing this time?" It is rumored that this person is not from the Yellow Turban, and has a reckless and irritable temperament? When did you become so calm? ”
Xun Yu shook his head and said, "There must be something strange in it!" But the subordinates somehow? ”
Cheng Yu has always solved difficult illnesses for Cao Cao, but this time there was no sound......
What they didn't expect was that Pang Tong was hiding in the shadows and was thinking of a way to yin them......
