Chapter 64: A Snowy Night in Wu County
"Kong Ming, what's so important?" Guan Yu saw that Zhuge Liang actually came to him in the middle of the night, and he also asked in surprise. Although Ah Liang works hard, he rarely comes to him at night.
"Junhou, I watched the stars at night, but I saw several stars falling in the land of Jiangdong, I am afraid that the battle against Sun Quan is a little bad!" Zhuge Liang was a little uncertain.
"What?" Guan Yu was also surprised when he heard this, and a pair of Danfeng eyes suddenly widened. Not to mention anything else, this kind of thing is too mysterious for Guan Yu. Zhuge Liang looked at his expression and knew that he didn't believe it, so he explained in detail at the moment: "The family teacher, Pang Degong, has been a pedantic all his life. This astrological healing technique is not inferior to the Guiguzi of the Warring States Period. What Liang learned was only the skin, but it was said that Taibai was in Wu County, and Gangxing pointed to the southeast on the eve of the night, but I am afraid that it is the land of Jiangdong, and someone is going to suffer. ”
"Kong Ming, what the hell are you talking about?" These strange things have already made Guan Erye's nerves a little numb. Zhuge Liang sighed and continued to speak: "In the year when the lord entered Xuzhou, that is, the year when Liang came to Jingxiang with his uncle. The uncle was recommended as Yuzhang Taishou, and Liang Zebai studied under the mentor of Pang Degong in Lumen Mountain. The master studied the astrology, and unless the stars loomed on a rainy night, he would watch the stars at night to guess the time of the day. For decades, it hasn't stopped. Bright ears and eyes, but also learned some fur. When the lord entered Xuzhou, the family teacher once said that although the purple microstar was shining, there were still guest stars to attack. Sure enough, not long after, at the end of the year, on the side of the lord's destiny star, a fierce star will come. Its light is so fierce that even the purple microstar is dimmed. ”
"Then according to what you mean, that murderous star is Lu Bu?" Guan Yu recalled the past and finally figured out some ways.
"Exactly, this fierce star was originally extremely prosperous, but overnight, it suddenly fell to the land of Pengcheng. After that, another star rose here, although this star was not dazzling, but with the help of its light, the originally slightly dim purple microstar was also radiant again. The family teacher said that this star is a peerless star. Originally, the world would be the power of Samsung, and the Han people would have decades of suffering. Now that the peerless star is out, Ziweixing has its help, maybe it will be said that the world will be calmed down early, and the Han people can also avoid a disaster. Zhuge Liang continued.
"Isn't the peerless star you are talking about?" Guan Yu had vaguely guessed who Zhuge Liang was talking about, but he still didn't say it. Knowing that Guan Yu understood what he meant, Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "It was just right to watch the stars at night, but I saw that the peerless stars were dim and crumbling. Presumably, there will be a catastrophe, but I don't know if I can turn evil into good fortune and get through this difficulty. ”
"That being the case, Kong Ming, I should write a letter and send it to the front line, so that Bo Tao can pay more attention." Guan Yu also hurriedly said after hearing this. Zhuge Liang reluctantly smiled and stopped him: "I have written a letter to send someone to Yu Shiyuan." Shi Yuan is the nephew of the family teacher, and the study of the stars is far more proficient than Liang. Now that he is on the front line, he may be safe. It's just that the east wind and snow are in full swing at the moment, and I am afraid that Shiyuan will not be able to watch the stars at night, so he will send a book to warn him. ”
"That's it!" Guan Yu was also relieved when he heard this. "Junhou, when the family teacher once said, the peerless star came into being, and it came and went without a trace. If he gets his help, the lord will be able to calm the world in more than ten years. If it is damaged, the war will continue for another time, and the great cause of reviving the Han dynasty will be far away. In today's words, please don't tell others, so as not to leak the heavenly secrets. Zhuge Liang finally admonished.
"I see!" Guan Yu nodded slowly, he had always been calm, and there was a hint of horror in his eyes.
"General, a few brothers are frostbitten, I'm afraid they can't move forward anymore, how can I do it?" In this small town that had just ended the battle, Niu Jin ran panting to report to Zhao Fengyu.
"Leave five hundred men to guard the captives, and the brethren who cannot march will also remain." Zhao Feng looked at the Jiangdong Army prisoners of war who were being held there and ordered. "General, I have just interrogated, they are a patrol team sent by Wu County, a total of 200 people. I wanted to hide from the snow here, but I didn't want to bump into us. According to them, the defenders of Wu County were indeed frostbitten people. At this time, Pang Tong slowly walked over and reported to Zhao Feng.
"I understand, if you step up the march, you can reach Wu County tonight, and you will definitely be able to kill Sun Quan by surprise." Zhao Feng nodded. Suddenly remembering something, Zhao Feng said to Pang Tong again: "Shiyuan, in order to prevent Sun Quan from escaping to Yizhou by boat, it is best to send another group of men and horses to the nearby port to intercept them, and collect all the large and small ships together, so that it will be difficult for him to fly with his wings!" ”
"Since this is the case, you can order the two generals Liu Bi and Gong Du to each lead a thousand cavalry to detour to various ports on the coast and block all the ships!" Pang Tong also agreed. At that moment, Zhao Feng ordered the two to set off immediately, and he led the army to continue to Wu County. In ancient times, the peasants had nothing to do in winter, but now it is snowing, and there is hardly a single figure on the whole road. Of course, due to the heavy snowfall, the pace of the march has also slowed down, but it is estimated that under normal circumstances, we will be able to reach Kure County tonight. At the same time, Zhao Feng also sent the sentry cavalry thirty miles away, and once he found the cavalry sentry of the Jiangdong Army, he would immediately surround and annihilate him, and he must not leak the news. If they encounter pedestrians, they are detained in nearby villages and let them go when the fighting is over. Everything is just for someone to report to Sun Quan. However, there is also an advantage to snow, that is, people and horses are walking on the road, this sound is greatly reduced, and the hidden surname is far stronger than that on a sunny day.
Pang Tong's prediction was still relatively accurate, and in the evening, it began to snow again. Zhao Feng's 30,000-strong army braved the snow and trekked for nearly a day and night, and finally arrived in Wu County in the first half of the next night. "Sun Quan never dreamed that we would raid his lair in this kind of ghost weather!" Seeing Shenting Ridge from a distance, Huang Zhong was also excited.
"General, we took advantage of the night to take a look, the snow on the head of Wujun City was very thick, and we only saw a white expanse, and the defenders were extremely lax, and they couldn't even see a black spot!" Niu Jin, who volunteered to investigate the military situation, came back to report at this time, and his tone was full of excitement that could not be hidden.
"So good, ordered the whole army to move quickly. Niu Jin, you lead a thousand warriors to the city first, if you can succeed, I will promote you to be a military horse! Zhao Feng also breathed a sigh of relief: It is best to be able to solve the battle before the year, this Sun Quan is too painful.
"Yes, thank you, General!" Niu Jin clenched his fists excitedly, then picked up a thousand elite soldiers, carried the cloud ladder and rushed towards Wu County while it was night, and Zhao Feng and Huang Zhong led the army to follow. Just waited for Niu Jin to take advantage of the chaos to open the city gate, and then rushed in to take Wu County.
Niu Jin led a thousand people, carrying ladders and even rope ladders. On the premise of ensuring that there is no loud noise, it is as fast as possible to sneak towards the head of Wu County in the dark night. Looking at the city head that was getting closer and closer, but silent, Niu Jin's heart became more and more nervous.
"Set up a ladder!" Seeing that the speaker rushed to the city, Niu Jin lowered his voice and ordered. Dozens of ladders were erected, Niu Jin took the lead, and a thousand elite soldiers followed. Climbing higher and higher, seeing that the city was close at hand, Niu Jin bit a big knife in his mouth, ready to fight at any time.
"What's going on?" Just as he was about to reach the top of his head, he saw some water droplets spilled down on it, dripping the cow gold all over his head. Smelling it carefully, there was actually a smell of urine, Niu Jin was suddenly furious, and saw that there was still half a zhang to climb the city, and he could climb it by stepping up.
As Niu Jin expected, as soon as he climbed to the top of the city, he was greeted by a defender who was booing there, and he must have been the one who was drenched on his head. Without waiting for this person to react, Niu Jin waved the big knife in his hand, and this person's half-cut little brother suddenly flew into the sky.
"Huh?" This person was surprised when he saw Niu Jin suddenly appearing in front of him, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower body, and then he realized that he had lost his children and grandchildren.
"You're a thousand-knife killer?" The man covered his lower body and scolded for a word, because he saw that more and more people climbed up behind Niu Jin, and immediately understood what was going on, and just wanted to shout at the top of his throat, Niu Jin swung another knife, and this person's head suddenly flew into the sky.
"Go down and open the gates!" Niu Jin only explained one sentence, and then ran down the city first, and the rest of the people followed. Today's heavy snow, most of the soldiers are hiding in the urn city to warm up, there are only a hundred people in the city, and more than half of them are really lazy to sleep, where can they stop Niu Jin?
"Kill!" Niu Jin was the first to rush down the city and kill at the city gate. Many soldiers were hiding in the caves of the city gate to hide from the snow, and Niu Jin and others rushed up and engaged them in the narrow corridor. The Jiangdong army was caught off guard, and Niu Jin led the elite, and they were killed and knocked to the ground for a while. "Quick, open the gates, quick!" Niu Jin ordered while slashing. The defenders also knew that if the city gate was opened, they would be dead today, and those who came back to their senses at the moment would do everything possible to entangle them.
"Go up some more people and help Niu Jin them!" Outside the city of Wu County, although separated by the city wall and the city gate, the sound of killing was still loud in the ears. Zhao Feng knew that the battle must be fierce, so he transferred people to help again. Wu Dun led a thousand people to continue to climb the city, and the rest of Huang Zhong and the others looked at the closed city gate, looking forward to it opening the door, and they were almost ready to see through.
It seemed that a long time had passed, and it didn't seem to have been long, and finally, in the expectant eyes of Zhao Feng and others, the city gate "creaked" open, followed by a louder shouting of killing. Seeing that the city gate was wide open, Huang Zhong took the lead and led a group of men and horses to kill the city, and the rest of the generals led their subordinates to follow urgently.
"Kill!" Huang Zhong swung out his knife and cut several people in the way in half. At this time, the defenders in the city had also heard the movement and rushed to the rescue. If you slow down the work of tea, I am afraid that they will confess to Niu Jin.
"Kill me!" As soon as Zhao Feng entered the city gate, he saw the defenders surging like a tide, fighting desperately with his men and horses on the streets. At this moment, the battle is no longer commandable, and both sides are already fighting on instinct.
"General Huang, capture the thief and capture the king first, hurry up and lead people to kill Wuhou Mansion!" stabbed a pawn to death with one shot, and Zhao Feng also shouted to Huang Zhongdao.
"I know, everybody go with me!" Huang Zhong wielded his knife and slashed to death several people who were entangled with him, and led his army to kill in the direction of Wuhou's Mansion. Along the way, there were constantly defenders coming, delaying Huang Zhong's advance.
"Lord, something is wrong, Zhao Botao's army has just entered the city!" Sun Quan, who heard the sound, had just gotten up, and before he could put on his pants, Ding Feng had already broken in and said to him.
"Smack!" Sun Quan's pants fell off.
