Chapter 3 Whale Swallows Yuzhou
Huang Zhong is full of white hair, even his beard and eyebrows are white, so he often laughs at himself for getting old, and Li Kai and others occasionally make fun of him, but he is only forty-one or twelve years old this year, can he be underestimated if he can fight with Lu Bu at the peak?
Of course not, soon Gan Ning ate the bitter fruit for himself as the fastest for a while, the Cirrus Broadsword is strong and heavy, Gan Ning is not an opponent in terms of strength alone, and he is not an opponent in terms of speed. He is actually best at water combat, flexible and changeable foot combat, the understanding of the water surname with the help of the power of water, it can be said that he is invincible in the Yangtze River area when he gathers people to be bandits, no one is his opponent, and when he arrives on the shore, he is like a fish sleeping in the water; "Touching ——!" , A powerful slash, Gan Ning came to a butt backwards flat sand and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time, Huang Zhong said: "Boy! What do you think? How many brushes do I have for this old man? Serving? ”
"Not convinced! Lao Tzu is good at water warfare, you are bullying people! Gan Ning stood up with a carp and pulled out the bow at his waist: "Be confident that my archery skills are not bad, if you can be better than me, I will obey you!" ”
"Hahaha!" , Huang Zhong shook his head and smiled, in his impression, it seemed that no one could compare to his bow and arrow skills, maybe Li Su could, but he was dead now: "Okay!" So! How to compare? You draw the way, I'll continue! ”
"Chirp chirp", early in the morning, sparrows also come out to feed, chirp non-stop, sparrows are very fast, and flexible, the target is small, than shooting eagles, shooting sparrows is the most difficult!
"Go!" , Gan Ning took a bow and twisted an arrow, a sparrow fell in response to the sound in the sky more than 20 steps away from him, and the rest of the sparrows fluttered their wings quickly in fright, wanting to escape, Huang Zhong seemed to be calm and relaxed, but in fact he was as fast as lightning, and he took a bow and twisted arrows in one go!
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Shooting three arrows in a row, and the distance was even farther, the three sparrows fell, everyone cheered, Gan Ning touched his nose, and said with a smile: "Good archery!" A certain family served! Little ones! Change clothes! From now on! We are the people under Yuan Gong's account! ”
"Gotcha! Big boss! The Jinfan thief replied in a gossipy manner, and Gan Ning was furious: "Call Captain Gan!" Don't call me the boss again! This will make us look very cheap! Got it? If you don't understand, I'll teach you alone! ”
"No! Captain Gan! This time, his voice was obviously a lot more neat, Gan Ning was a smart man, he knew that the army was a place that paid attention to discipline and order, and he also saw Li's frowning brows because of the chaos of the Jinfan thief, so he said these unbounded words; The Jinfan thief changed his clothes and armor on the spot, not ashamed at all, Li Kai rolled his eyes and shouted: "Let's go!" ”
10,000 cavalry moved quickly, and the earthquake shook and woke up many people who were still asleep, and along the way there was smoke and dust, and the sound was so great that the people got out of the way from a distance, not daring to provoke them; Yuzhou County, the country of six, namely Runan County, Yingchuan County, Lu State, Liang State, Pei State, Chen State, of which the position of Lu State is also Qian County, a few years ago was removed, these so-called countries, are the royal relatives of the country; All the way to Gushi County, Runan County, Li Kai felt that something was wrong, and said, "Brother Huang! Send out a scout horse to show me around! It feels like something is wrong! In broad daylight, it is so close to the county seat, how can there be no pedestrians? ”
Huang Zhong was shocked in his heart, understood, and shouted: "Formation!" 500 people! Give me a closer look at the ten miles from the front and back, left and right! ”
It was a little late, and suddenly there was a loud drum sound and dust flying around, and a person in front of him was carrying a knife across a horse, covered with a black scarf, and he didn't say much, and he shouted directly: "Kill——! ”
Yuan Jun was a little flustered, and Li Kai was furious: "What are you panicking about? Escapees! Chop! Those who confuse the hearts of the army! Chop! Fear of war! Chop! ", three words in a row, it really had a great effect, and Yuan Jun stabilized; Dare to attack cavalry with infantry on the plains? It's really looking for death! Li Kai shouted: "Cone formation! Charge! Destroy this group of blinding things! ”
"Little ones! The time has come for meritorious service! Give me a fucking face! Come on! Gan Ning roared, rushed out first, and the Jinfan thief behind him followed in a mess, not knowing what to shout while running; As soon as the two sides came into contact, with the gap opened by Gan Ning, the Jinfan thieves rushed in, frankly speaking, the individual combat ability of these water bandits is indeed quite powerful, especially the three-person killing is very sharp, the only drawback is that they do not know how to cooperate with large-scale soldiers and horses!
Under the large-scale impact of 10,000 cavalry, these people who suddenly appeared on the opposite side did not last long and began to retreat, Li Kai shouted: "No need to chase!" This group of soldiers and horses is only about 3,000 people, and it is a decoy! Trouble with cavalry on the plains? I don't think the other party is so stupid! Collect the troops! Keep in formation and keep going! I'd like to see who is so bold! ”
Only now did he understand Kong Ling's worries, his worries were not fictitious, he, a great Confucian, did not control the entire Yuzhou, and even inferior to some people in terms of the strength of soldiers and horses, so it was impossible for him to represent the entire Yuzhou to surrender to Yuan Shu; If he forced the surname to make this decision, I am afraid that the next day he will be ruined, this trip to Yuzhou seems destined to not be smooth sailing, but, Li has the confidence to kill these unconvinced, deter those who sway from side to side, and appease those who are obedient, this is his main job!
According to this, in a valley not far away, the rout army pushed over, and the masked general bowed down in shame: "The last general is incompetent!" I hope the general will atone for his sins! ”
The general, who had been facing away from this person, turned around, this person was tall and strong, his face was full of meat, and when he heard this person's words, Zou Mei said, "Who is the other party?" You should know this, right? If you don't know, hum! ”
"Look at the other party with the banner of the character Li, but there is no general surnamed Li in Nanyang County!" , The general replied with sincere fear, and the general scolded: "Pig brain, can't it be someone else except the general?" Li Li Kai, Li Xiaoxian! Known as a celebrity, he is also one of the military advisors of the Dong Alliance, and he is quite respected, and I really want to try his methods! ”
"General! What now? The general asked cautiously, Lei Shu thought about it and replied: "Withdraw the troops for the time being!" The 10,000 cavalry of the Nanyang Army is too powerful on the plain, and our 20,000 or 30,000 horses are not enough to compete with him.
"This time it will be done! If you can't do it, the last general will definitely come to see you! He knows too well what kind of temper Lei Shu is, if he can't make a meritorious contribution this time, he will probably say goodbye to the world;" All right! You go and send me a letter! Yuzhou is too big for us to eat, and we need to find someone to cooperate! You send the letter to Chen Lan, and wait! Send another one to Meicheng! Each of them has 20,000 or 30,000 troops, and only when we unite can we have hope of mastering the entire Yuzhou, right? ”
Chen Lan, Mei Cheng, and Lei Shu, these three people represent different forces, but they all have the same characteristics and are all funded by the wealthy families in Yuzhou, as for their intentions, it is not difficult to guess, it is just an investment, and it should be regarded as a stepping stone to test Yuan Shu; On the way, Li Kai's face was gloomy, and he greeted after a long time: "Meng Qi!" Come here! I'll write a letter, and you send it to Old Master Kong in Song County! There are still more than fifty miles away from Song Xian, and there are cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are indispensable! 10,000 troops may be a little less! ”
"No!" , Ma Chao said yes, took Li Kai's letter and took the lead single-handedly, Li called Huang Zhong and Gan Ning: "The situation is grim, so we also have to play some tricks, Gan Ning!" I don't care what you think, but! If you do this well enough, I will suggest to the lord that you be promoted to the commander of the first army! ”
"Really?" , Gan Ning rubbed his hands, his eyes kept rolling, and said, "I want a water army, how about it?" ”
"Yes!" , Li Kai smiled: "The position of the commander of the first army is not so easy to do, you kid want to change your hooligan temperament, and you have to learn more about the art of war, okay, these words will be said later, now you and I will lead seven thousand men and horses to take the first step and listen to the command!" Huang Zhong! You led 3,000 men and horses to follow me three miles behind! ”
Sometimes some things are too simple, and sometimes some things are too complicated, and Lei Shu is not here to disturb them at all, but is conspiring with others!
A young strong man in his twenties, a middle-aged Confucian in his forties, plus the butcher face of Lei Shu, the three of them together, you look at me, I look at you, the young man's name is Meicheng, he has a bit of courage, he dares to fight, but he has no brains: "General Lei, what are you telling us to do?" You don't want to set up a Hongmen banquet or something, do you? ”
Lei Shu's face changed, and he said, "If you don't know how to joke, don't make a joke!" ”
"Don't be angry! Don't be angry! Chen Lan hurriedly played a round and said with a smile: "General Lei said that there is a big matter to discuss, so naturally there is a big matter!" No matter what, we are all from Yuzhou, and we are all our own families, don't you say? ”
"Humph!" , Lei Shu snorted and said, "Yuan Shu's people are here!" It may be Li Xiaoxian, there are 10,000 cavalry, they are here to explore the way! So I want to ask you, are you going to be uncompromising with the support of those wealthy people, or are you? ”
Chen Lan twisted her beard and said, "Yuan Shu is the concubine of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, and one of the masterminds of the Kwantung Coalition Army, and he is very famous!" But he wants to swallow Yuzhou, and this appetite is inevitably a little bigger! The Son of Heaven is dead, many people have other thoughts, and those behind us don't have this meaning, and we are also forced to do so!
The battle still has to be fought, if we win, then there is no need to feel sorry for missing Yuan Shu, because he has no ability at all, if we lose, it is nothing, it's just a big deal to push others out, we can still continue to live in the future! ”
Chen Lan is a person who has read books, and his mind is lively, as soon as he finished speaking, Mei Cheng and Lei Shu did not speak, which was regarded as acquiescing to his suggestion; "But if you fight, how? That's 10,000 cavalry! Our infantry will have a hard time dealing with them! Mei Cheng asked;
