As soon as the men and horses left here, Zhoucang sent scouts to come over on fast horses to military intelligence, which said that Xiahou Yuan in Yuzhou City was transferring troops and grain and grass, and said that he was coming to attack Xinye. For two days in a row, there were small groups of Cao soldiers under the Queweipo Pass, as if they were coming to spy on intelligence. Because the enemy's situation was unknown, our army did not take action, but only strengthened the defense of the pass. I have come to tell my lord.

Liu Cong read the information and hurriedly wrote an edict, which said that after the news of the siege of Fancheng reached Xuchang, Xiahoudun must have ordered Xu Huang of Wancheng and Xiahou Yuan of Yuzhou to send troops to rescue.

Now the actions of the enemy troops in Yuzhou have long been expected by us.

Please General Zhou carefully guard the Queweipo Pass.

Quewei Slope is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and even if Cao has a million, it is difficult to conquer for a while.

If there is a change in the enemy's situation, it is necessary to report the military situation in a timely manner, and there must be no mistakes.

As soon as Liu Cong handed over the edict to the Queweipo scout, before the scout was out of the account, the sentry outside the camp came to tell him that it was a soldier sent by the Yamen of Zaoyang County to escort two Cao soldiers to the secret agent.

Liu Cong thought about it for a while, and immediately ordered: "The secret agent is escorted outside the camp, and the soldiers of Zaoyang County are rumored to come in and talk." ”

The two sentries came in, and Liu Cong asked, "The Cao Bing spy who went there?" ”

"Tell the lord, catch it in the Mushroom Spirit Canyon in the north of Zaoyang City."

As soon as this sentry said about the Mushroom Ridge Canyon, Liu Cong's heart became alert. Continuing to listen to the sentry's report, the sentry said: "At that time, a patrol team in Zaoyang County went out of the Mushroom Ridge Canyon to the north to patrol the sentry, and saw these two hunter-like guys drunk and sleeping there, and the sentry felt suspicious, so he escorted them back to Zaoyang Yamen for interrogation. But I couldn't ask a word, listening to the accent, these two guys are from the direction of Yuzhou. The eldest lord of Zaoyang County suspected that they were Cao Bing's secret agents, so he ordered him to come over and ask the lord to interrogate him. ”

Liu Cong sneered in his heart when he heard this, and ordered: "Go out and bring it in, you don't believe it, since it is Cao Bing's secret agent, you can't knock them open!" ”

After the sentry went out, Liu Cong called Wei Yan and Gong Zhi to his side, and whispered: "Just like this, you two hurry up and handle it." ”

After a while, two Cao Bing spies were escorted in.

When Liu Cong looked at it, he saw these two guys with sinister eyebrows, and knew that it was not the one who chewed steel and chewed iron, so he shouted disdainfully: "Since it is Cao Bing's secret agent, why don't you recruit it truthfully?" Say, who sent you two out to spy on the military? ”

The two spies were shouted by Liu Cong, their legs couldn't stand, their bodies shrank down, and they were trembling and speechless.

When Liu Cong saw it, he shouted: "I don't have time to entertain you useless things." Speaking of this, he turned his face to look at the map and muttered: "The battle plan for attacking Xuchang has not yet been decided, well, where is Liu Bin going?" ”

Liu Bin was standing beside him, and Liu Cong, who was listening, shouted, hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "The last general!" ”

"Have the soldiers and horses attacking Wancheng started to move?"

"Tell the lord that 40,000 soldiers and horses have arrived in Deng County, and they are now stationed in Deng County, waiting for the lord's order."

"Yes, got it." Liu Cong deliberately turned around when he said this, glanced at the two Cao Bing spies, and asked loudly, "Where did the two guys come from?" Why did you bring it here? ”

Liu Bin hurriedly replied: "Why did the lord forget?" These are the two Cao Bing spies that I brought in just now. ”

Liu Cong waved his hand irritably when he heard this: "Pull it out, pull it out." Cut it down and let it go, and you will dispose of it. We spend our time entertaining them. The military exchange in the west is not enough for me to be busy, who can take care of Yuzhou. ”

Wei Yan Gongzhi, who was dressed as an executioner outside the tent, heard Liu Cong's order, and broke in one step, and dragged out of the tent with a secret agent, kicked the secret agent's buttocks, and scolded: "You bastards have nothing to do." Come on! As he spoke, he kicked the two spies out of the camp step by step.

Coming to a hill, Wei Yan saw that it was relatively secluded, and there were still a few goshawks hovering in the sky, so he stopped and said, "When you arrive, let's cut it here." Damn, it's bad luck to be fine, I took the two mourning stars out on a sunny day to smell the blood, I just don't want to dirty my good knife! ”

Gong Zhi stood straight and waited for Wei Yan to finish complaining before he spoke: "Big brother, if you don't do this, let's cut down two trees, cut two wooden sticks, and smash these two hangers to death." Save the dirty our guys. ”

Wei Yan listened to it and praised it repeatedly: "Okay, good, you kid just has a way, yes, just stone it to death with a stick." Cut down the tree. ”

As soon as Gong Zhi heard this, he turned around and went out to cut down the tree, and the two Cao soldiers knelt down, kowtowed their heads vigorously towards Wei Yan, and begged one after another: "Grandpa spare his life, grandpa spare his life." ”

Wei Yan sat on the side squinting and laughing, watching them get tired of knocking before teasing them: "Enough knocking?" Say, want to die or live? ”

The two spies shouted in unison, "I don't want to die." I want to live. ”

"Yes, I don't want you to die, you kid has to speak truthfully. Otherwise, you see, your life is not as good as a dog. No, that master went out to cut branches, and if he didn't tell the truth, he had to smash you to death. ”

The two spies began to weep, snot and tears. I cried for a while, and it wasn't until Gong Zhiqing came over with two thick branches that Wei Yan got up and said, "You two turtle sons, don't cry." I also have a good heart, and I was moved by your crying. Okay, as long as you tell the truth, I'll let you go. Say, what the hell are you doing out here? Who called you out? ”

The two spies argued, saying that both of them were scouts under Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan sent them and more than 20 scouts to come out to reconnoiter and listen to the news of the Jingzhou soldiers, but that day, the two of them were tired in Mushroom Ridge, drank some wine, and thought about taking a break before leaving, but they didn't expect to be caught by you.

Wei Yan stopped them and said, "Okay, okay, master, I don't have the heart and leisure to listen to your nonsense." Well, you two will explain it separately. Prevent you from being blindfolded. You say first, he waits in the distance. Come back when I greet you. ”

Another spy went to Gong Zhi's side in the distance, and this one was here to explain to Wei Yan.

In this way, the two Cao Bing spies took turns to explain, and Wei Yan grasped Xiahou Yuan's true intentions, so he smiled and said, "Okay." It's telling the truth. However, there is no way, my master has passed on behalf of the bus, whether what you say is right or wrong, you have to be executed, who told you to come to a bad life, but you can't be left in my hands. Close your eyes, today next year will be the death day of the two of you. ”

After saying that, he got up and walked ahead, waved his hand, and even the executioner clicked twice to move the execution, and the two Cao Bing spies turned around like this.

Gong Zhi asked Wei Yan as he walked: "I confessed truthfully, why did you kill him?" ”

"You kid don't know our lord's temper yet? He said kill it, you have to kill it? Do you dare to disobey his orders? Don't you see that he is going to kill his brother and uncle in Xiangyang Yamen? ”

Gong Zhi stuck out his tongue and muttered: "Oh, the lord is really strict in rewards and punishments!" I remember. ”

Wei Yan and Gong Zhi came back and truthfully reported the interrogation of the spy to Liu Cong, Liu Cong listened, took out the map to check it, and sneered: "Hehe, Miaocai, hahaha, Miaocai." Lao Tzu has long known that you kid is quite conceited, so let's have a fight, Lao Tzu wants to fight you personally! Come on. ”

Liu Cong sneered and immediately ordered: "Wei Yan listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"You handed over the task of managing the camp to Liu Bin. Then he led 5,000 troops to ambush on the top of the two compartments of the Mushroom Ridge Canyon. After arriving at the Mushroom Ridge, first ambush 500 soldiers at both ends of the canyon, and after all the sneak attack Cao soldiers entered the Mushroom Ridge, cut off both ends of the valley mouth with cannon stone sassage wood, and not put back a Cao soldier. ”

"The last general commands!" Liu Cong also ordered: "Gong Zhi will take 5,000 elite soldiers and follow me." ”

Gong Zhi was ordered to go out to mobilize troops and horses, and Liu Cong ordered Pang Tong Xu Shu to lead 5,000 troops to Xinye to station: "Go there to assist the old general Huang Zhong to defend the city." Pay close attention to the military situation of Queweipo, and if there is any abnormal movement, immediately respond to Zhoucang's people. ”

Commander Xu Shupang ordered to transfer the army, and Liu Cong sternly instructed Liu Bin: "The soldiers and horses of this Partridge Ridge Barracks are the reserve of our army, and you are the director of the Jingshan Barracks, and you are the commander of the Jingshan Barracks, and you have a good way to lead the troops." After I left, there were 15,000 elite soldiers here, with plenty of food and grass, and there were no worries. Your job is to manage this force and be at your disposal. There is one thing that must not be disobeyed - without my orders, it is absolutely forbidden to rashly lead troops out of the camp to seek the enemy to fight. Violators will be killed! ”

Liu Bin only agreed.

At this time, the allocation of soldiers and horses from all walks of life has been completed, Wei Yan, Gongzhi, Xu Shupang, and Tongtong came over to wait for orders, Liu Cong got up and ordered: "All men and horses start to act!" ”

After everyone left, he then took off the emperor's saber and hung it on his waist, and instructed Liang Zhu'er: "Prepare the horse!" Let's go too. ”
